MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

money."

nounce the destruction of the city of Jeremie by
Gen. Salnave. After the capture of Petite Goave Sal-
nave moved uporiJeremie, and demanded its uncon-
ditional surrender, under penalty of instant bom-
bardment. The British, French, and American
Consuls at once waited upon the President, pro-
testing against the fulfilment of the threat as an
outrage upon humanity, and involving heavy losses
to foreign residents, but without avail. He even
refused delay for the removal of non-combatants.
The bombardment lasted three days. Many were
killed and wounded, including numbers of women."
From Mexico we learn that Edward Parry has been
empowered to act as representative of the English
holders of Mexican Bonds. Honorate Dominguez,
who was sentenced to death, has been reprieved
by General Uraga, and banished from the Repub-
lic. A bill for the abolition of capital punish-
ment has been introduced into the Mexican Con-
gress. Escobado has left the capital for Tampico.
Cortina will shortly proceed to Mataaioras. Tha
concessions of the Vera Cruz Railroad Company
have been defeated in the Mexican Congress.
The Morning Post states that the re-election of
Mr. Denison to the Speakership will not be con-
tested by the Government, and our contemporary
anticipates that it will fall to Mr. Gladstone's lot,
as Prime Minister, to move the adjournment for
the Christmas recess. That the Liberal party
will obtain a considerable majority at the
general 'election seems now placed beyond
all doubt, and it is generally understood
that, as soon as the necessary preliminary
business of the season has been disposed of,
the position of the Government will be tested
by a direct vote of want of confidence. The
Morning Herald says it is generally understood
that Mr. Bright is to be a leading member of the
next Liberal Cabinet. The Standard also asserts
that Mr. Bright is to have a seat in the next Liberal
Cabinet, and says he is already recognized as one
of the official leaders of the party.

In the District Supreme Court, 23d Oct., the
counsel for John H. Surratt inquired when the
case of the appeal of the District-Attorney would
be taken up, and Chief Justice Cartter said that he
would hear it as soon as it came up in regular order
on the docket, and then intimated that he should
have time to prepare his brief on the merits,
after the motion to dismiss has been determined..
On the same afternoon E. B. Olmstead, formerly
Disbursing Agent of the Post-office Department,
was released from custody on giving bail in $10,030,
to answer the charge against him, namely, felo-
niously embezzling and converting to his own use
$44,646 of Government funds.
The latest papers from New York give the pro-
ceedings at the Liverpool banquet on the 22d Oct.
to the American Minister in full. On the whole,
there is not that furious outbreak of indignation

that might have been expected. Mr. Johnson, says
the Tribune, " grasped the hand of Mr. Laird, the
builder of the Alabama, shook it cordially, and the
two held each other by the hand while exchanging
some words. This fact will be read with a thrill of
indignation in all the loyal States of the Union."
it goes oa to show that Laird, Roebuck, and Lord
Wharncliffe are unrepentant malignants, awl as
such it is unworthy of an American Minister to ap,
pear in public as their intimate friend.
On Wednesday evening Mr. Johnson was the
honoured guest of the new Sheriffs, Cotton and
Hutton, who inaugurated their year of office by a
banquet in the Hall of the Haberdashers' Com-
pany. The words of the American Minister were
expressed in the same friendly spirit. Again, Mr.
Johnson remarked :

" Whatever difficulties in the recent past have occurred,

it gives me supreme pleasure to say to you, as I have said
elsewhere, that they are about to be successfully removed.
In fact, that has been already accomplished; and by the
kindness, patriotism, and love which Lord Stanley bears to
his Queen and his Government, and by the same feeling
which I hope influences me towards my Government, the
rest of the dispute will, before the lapse of the present
year, be successfully adjusted."
Mr. Johnson then proceeded to show his Republi-
can proclivities, thus pronouncing for the ticket—
" The Presidential contest of yesterday resulted, as I
was sure it would, in the almost unanimous election of
that man to the chief executive of the United States to
whom we were mainly indebted for the suppression of a
rebellion which struck at the life of the nation; and the
men of America would have been ungrateful if they had
failed to place him in the Presidential chair, the duties of
which he would be sure so to administer as to subsorve
the public interest and bind up the wounds of a wounded
country."
Nor for the ticket alone, but fur the platform also
as the following paragraph will show :
"We have contracted an enormous debt in money, but
nothing in comparison with the blood which has literally
mired every battlefield of our country, and whatever
rumours you may have heard, and whatever doubts may
have been expressed, I tell you with all the sincerity in
which a man can speak that every dollar of that debt will
be paid
.in what the, world' recognizes as money. Dis-
honoured my country will never be; but dishonoured in
the eyes of the civilized world would she be if she failed to
meet all her engagements in that which the world calls

Let us hear what the Englishman held in the
highest respect in America has to say about the
States. At Edinburgh, last Tuesday, Mr. Bright
was presented with the freedom of the city, and in
returning thanks he thus discussed the Union :
"Now what an extraordinary thing it is that nearly
four years after it is over, we, who had put down insur-
rection wiat the most relentless hand in India, should
immediately go in for a great insurrection which has
tended to break up a free nation—and, mind, a nation
of kinsmen—and that we should go in for an insur-
rt-ction which was made against the freest and cheapest
Government in the world, and an insurrection the
very basis of which was a perpetual establishment
of human bondage. If we could have been persuaded
that the Americans were not arrogant and insolent, that
hey ware growing to so great a power that they might
have had an opinion on the politics of Europe—if we had
not been assured that it was better for us that that great
people shotild be divided and have quarrels and difficulties on
their continent—if all these immoral considerations could
have been stripped from the question, as it really was, and
left the pith and kernel before you, there is not an English-
man, not a Scotchman, not a Christian man in the whole
world who would have said ho hoped that insurrection
would succeed. And now at this hour—l am not sure it is
not this very day on which we are met—there is going on
over the whole of these States a great contest like that
which we are approaching, when the Executive Govern-
ment for the. next four years will be determined by the
vote of 35 millions of people. Let us hope-1 hope—the
result of that great verdict may be to give continued
power, and I hope there may come continued wisdom, to
that party which has been in favour of freedom, and which
did what was done to restore the union of that great
country."
The rumour which has for some time been circu-
lated that the Cunard Royal Mail Steamship Com-
pany would restore the line to Boston proves to be
untrue; at least the Boston Traveller give an inter-
view with Sir Edward Cunard, which goes to show
that the company has no intention of making any,
further alteration in the present arrangements be-
yond those announced in our advertising columns,
where, on reference, it will be seen that the cabin pas-
li rates have been reduced. The public should not
I misunderstand what the company propose 3, which is
that, commencing with the Royal Mail steamer Cuba
on the 28th inst., a limited number of emigrants will
be carried in the mail steamers sailing on Saturdays,
excepting in certain vessels required for those first-
class passengers who prefer to pay higher fares
free from emigrants. The rates for these from
Liverpool to New York are—Chief cabin, £26 ;
second cabin, £lB ; while the rates vary in the
vessels carrying emigrants from 15 guineas to 21,
according to the state-room accommodation.
We are happy to see that Postmaster General
Randall and his first assistant, M'Lellan, have suc-
ceeded in making satisfactory arrangements for the
carriage of the Californian mails. Both those gen-
tlemen had been in New York on this business, and
had only returned to Washington on the 21st Oct.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Company is to carry
all documents and such other mail matter as may be
directed to be sent by that route, between New
York and San Francisco, via the Isthmus of Panama.
Arrangements have been made with Wells, Fargo,
and Co. to convey the overland mails between the
termini of the Union and Central Pacific Railroads
until the junction is formed between these roads.
The Secretary of the Interior thinks the roads will
be completed in one year from this time. Parties in
New York assure the Postmaster-General of thei
belief that the junction will be made by the let o
July next.
