that America is right, and we wrong in the late
treaty and in the measure consequent upon It,
Now he (Mr. H.) in opposition to the Hon. Mem
Der, and in possession offuller and more accurate
information, would maintain that we were all
along right, and America needlessly wrong
Propositions had been made on the part OF the
American government, to which 70 English Min
lister could listen for moment; but the treaty
which had been concluded, and the negotiations
since entered into, would, lie trusted be the means
of final and amicable adjustment. He begged
the House not to conclude from his not then ent-
ering into fuller statement-the proper occasion
would present itself very sOOn-that he could not
reply to the assertions of the Hon. Member, and
demonstrate their groundlessness. His silence
was wholly owing to what he felt, and would at
another time prove to be, sense of duty.
Mr.. Hume hoped the bill would be remodifed
in the recess, and brought forward in shape
more likely to promote the common interests Of
England and America.
Mr. Stewart also trusted that the question
would be brought forward in more extensive and
liberal form after the holidays.
Mr. p. Tompson would on the IL III of Februa-
~ next, call the attention of the House to the
measure.
The second reading was then pro forma (the
bill being understood to be withdrawn) fixed for
the | 1th of Feb.
LONDON, Dec. l8.
City. one O'clock The gloom at the Stock Ex-
change appears to increase with each succeeding
day. The spectators for the rise (of which there
are now very few cling to the present ministers,
in the hope, and no doubt well founded, that the
state of the country will be ameiOrated, and that
the profusion of money which still exists in the
Golfers of the bankers in the City will be thrown
out at an early day to purchase money stock, of
which there is scanty supply, as in the number
Of years which have interviewed since the last loan,
the stock has gone into the hands of numerous
small holders, who never sell again except in
cases of extreme necessity; all other prospects
for the bills are gloomy in the extreme.

ItUo o'cI0ck.-lt Is reported IN the CITY that
commissioners from France have arrived Tor the
purpose of concluding a contract for the immed-
ate shipment of 250,O stand OF arms, and that
such is the urgency Of the occasion, an agent has
gone down to Birmingham to expedite the supply.
If there be any truth in this, which we much doubt
it is indisputably gross exaggeration.
From The .4flas. 1911 Dec.
We have received the Paris papers of Thurs
day. They contain a curious dramatic political
scene, which is said to have been acted al Milan.
A conspiracy on grand scale: was organized
in that city against the Austrian authorities
The conSpirators were assembled in the pit OF the
theatre, and there at a certain signal, the insur-
rectiun was to have broken out. The bell rung,
the curtain rose, and discovered the stage crowd
ed with Austrian Soldiers; their muskets point
ed to the pit. Every door was similarly beset and
the astonished revolutionsts were arrested to
man in the very scene of the conspracy.and con-
Quoted to the fortress Of Spielberg.
With regard to the trial of the Ministers, the
Gazette de France says. How can those who
have annihilated the charter IF 1914. try and con-

charter? Iflt were criminal to lufiinge what was
it to abolish?'
