\ despatch dated Washington, Monday. says
that the official dispatches received by the Can
ada hnve he.n under the inspection of the Cabi
net.
1t says 1t is understood that the representa-
tiycs OF our Government regarding the alleged
violation of the L. s., neutrality laws by Mr..
Champion have not been met in that straightfor-
ward manner our Government had a right to
eApe,t Mr.. Buchanan says that the professions
OF friendship by the British Cabinet were more
profuse than heretofore, and expresses the opin
ion shat procrastination has been resorted to in
the hope that something may turn up to relieve
the British Government from its dilemma.
The Union of the same day says that it is au-
thorzed by the State Department to say that Mr.
Buchanan had had two conferences with the
Earl of Clarendon in relation to the West India
squadron. TheEarl declared that the squadron had
been despatched for no purpose unfrendly to the
United States. Its object was to present the
commerce of Great Britain against Russian pr-
vatrers believed to be fitted out in the United
States.

Her majesty's steam troop-ship Simeon. Cap
tain sullivan, left Spithead on Tuesday. the Both
ultmo, for Balaklava. with the LIST light infantry
regiment of the British German legion. The
sllowng rather romantic circumstance attended
tie departure of those troops:
On Monday night one of the privateers was
discovered to be woman. and very fine, hand
some Young woman, French the wife of a
older of the regiment, who is Swiss. This
.dlant wife regularly enlisted, and passed mus
Ia afterwards. On the discovery of her sex
the fact was reported to the colonel, who ordered
her to be Ianded,but she begged so hard. and her
appeal was so heartily aud generally supported
by the comrades of her husband, that she has
been allowed to accompany him as soldier, pro
TEN, as she expressed her determination to fight
and die in the same service as her husband
The enthusiasm of the regiment is universal at
this unexpected episode in the outset of their
rartia career. So pleased were a number of
visitors to the ship, officers and men, with her
prit and prepossessing appearance, that a sub
>crpton was speedily raised of upwards of f2O
Tor her. She shoulders her rifle and has perform
led her military cvolutions admirably.

Hog killing is now quite active in the West.
AT Louisville Ky) up to Wednesday evening
last, 1000 head had been slaughtered. All the
packing houses in that city, says the Journal,
will be in operation in day or two. Prices on
Wednesday were all unsettled. A sale. however,
of 1000 hogs to be delivered next month, was re-
ported at S6.25 nett. The Courier notices Gin
cinnat prices. which were somewhat higher. and
adds: These rates can only be sustained for u
short time. 1t is occasioned partly by light
supply and an active demand from Eastern pur-
ehasers, and partly to direct hogs there.

of the company-the regulations being of the
most systematic and perfect character.
The scene at the pit yesterday was most dis

most painful nature. The melancholy scene was
heightened by the lamentations of tho families of
the dead all of which were exceedingly helpless.
The funerals of the killed will take place at the
pits this forenoon.

Sunday morning 1T an early hour, says the
Portsmouth Trauscrip, of Monday, crowds were
vending their way to the Alb street Baptist
Church. to engage IN the funeral services which
had been appointed in respect to those members
of the church who had died during the epidemic
The services were conducted by the Pastor, the
Rev. Thomas Hume His eloquent discourse
paid merted tribute to the departed, and was
highly appropriate and instructive. The audi
enee were deeply affected. 1t has been spoken
of by many one of the most solemn and tender
scenes ever witnessed. The house was densely
crowded, and many left unable to obtain an en-
trance.
