London. When captured, he expressed sorrow
for what had occurred, and said his house in
Chester Terrace would sell for 100000. The
oarrlster for the prosecution proved that Red
path had altered figures, making transfers OF
respectively, prefxing the figure Il " to each
of the amounts. The prisoner was remanded
for further evidence.
Redpath's houses in the Regents Park and
at Weybridge have been taken possession of.
They were most splendidly furnished. He kept
four horses, three or four vehicles, and cou-
rier, for continental travelling. His wife appears
TO have been entirely ignorant of his proceed
ing. Redpath and Robson were felow-clerks
IN the same Office of the Great Northern Rail
way some years ago, and continued intimate
friends.
England and the United States.
AT recent meeting at Sheffield. speeches
were made by MesSrs. Hadfeld and Roebuck.
The speeches are thus reported:
Mr.. Hadheld, after referring to the Foreign
Enlistment Bill, said he must add few words
on the subject of the United States-the part
OF the world most interesting 20 them, and of
the highest value to their trade. They could
not De too careful to secure the confidence and
good opinion OF that country. They might have
their faults. We had some. Hear. 1t was
wise to think and speak of one another as we'll
as they could. He felt most strongly ON that
question, and implored the Prime Minister to
let the house express Its opinion before the
country was driven to extreme measures. Be-
lore the END OF the session, he had the gratif-
cation OF testltying to the dignity and forbear-
ance OF the Government In not sending home

would set herself right in due time. 1t cost
England fifty years to get rid of Slavery, and it
could not be done in America in day. 1t was
a vast question in America; vet, taking her
territory into consideration, she was richer than
England. Emancipation cost us 100000, 900
Tor 8OO,OOO slaves and, at the same rate, it
would cost America f87,500,OO0. The slave
owners demand much more-their valuation
was f35,OOO,OO0. He should exult beyond
measure II the wealthy people of the United
states would make it a money question, and
BUY the freedom of their slaves. He urged that
1t was the duty and interest of the country not
to keep meddling in European politics by a
secret system, so that the people never knew
what was doing till the vessel of state was among
the rocks. o
Mr.. Roebuck said OF America, all that has
been said by my honorable colleague entirely

also. Cheers. | say, that war between
England and America would be almost the
greatest calamity that mankind could suffer.
We have everything that can bind us to that
nation. They are OF the same blood they have
the same language; they have the same Htera-
ture, laws, and institutions; they are bone of
our bone, and flesh of our flesh; they are Eng
llshmen on the other side Of the Atlantic. But
II they should do an injustice, are we to stand
by and see it done? Cries of "No!"I
No; England's great destiny makes ner the
protector OF mankind; and we should be dero-
eating from our own dignity, if we allowed any
nation, however great, however nearly allied to
us, to do aught that would bring discredit upon
the great principles of humanity, if we could
prevent it. Cheers. l say, though l would
have us bound to America by everything that

us to her, and would not interfere one ota with
her internal transactions, Though l look with
great sorrow upon them-I will not express in
public my opinion on the matter)-yet, rather
than see her Cypress mankind, would oppose
her, and oppose her to the death. Loud cheers.
Now, sir, will pass on from foreign affairs,
excepting one matter. l will say one word
about diplomacy. l have said it is the duty of
England not to interfere between people and
their Sovereign. In the internal affairs of other
countries, England has nothing to do, and ought
not, in my belief, to plant hired and salaried
spies in every Court Of Europe, and call them
