Return of the Telegraph tleet-'S"cces' %
the Experiments.
HALIFAX, June Is.
The Royal Mail steamship Europa, Capt
letch, from Liverpool, at 10 o'clock on the
afternoon of the 5th inst, arrived here at
halEpast u o'clock this afternoon.
GREAT BRITAIN.
On the Sd in the House of Commons, the
Atlantic Telegraph Companys bill was read
q third time and passed, as WAS also lne
property qualification bill. ;,
Mr.. Roebuck gave notice that he should
shortly call attention to the whole su'Ject oi
the Hudson Bay Company.
Mr., Horsrall asked whether the Govern.
ment had any information OF the arrest OF
Cant, Judkins, of the Persia, at New YORK
MIR. Wilson also asked whether there were
any objections to lay on the table the cor.
respopdence between the British Government
and that of the United States respecting the
slave trade. :.
Mr.. Seymour Fitzgerald replied--That the
government had received no official nlorma
ton Of the arrest Of Capt. Judklns. Witf
rega,d to the other question, the American
Government had made grave charges against
certain British officers but no olnclai ac
coz had been received from these omcefs
He could only say that, II occurrences sucI
as those complained Of had occurred, they
would be viewed with the deepest regret by
the government, and immediate explanation
given. The fullest information should be
laid before Parliament as early as possible
In the meantime, he had only to add, that
orders had been sent out TO the ohcers 10
command of the squadron in the Cuban wa
ters, to make every inquiry into the subject
aud that the greatest caution and torbearance
should be exercised toward vessels bearing
the American flag.
The London Times, in leader on the
searching Of American vessels reiterated Its
objections against the policy OF maintaining
o squadron which has proven so Intellectual
for the end in view 1t says, Whatever the
right of the case, and however far Americans
may be ready to 60 at present IL compliance
for peace's sake, we cannot but look forward
TO a day when it will be more disagreeable
and at the time more unnecessary for the
Americans to submit, and still greater let
down for our own pride to give way" After
passing some censure upon the apathy Of the
American Government in the suppression o
the slave trade it concludes as follows:
1--WE do not compel her to the virtue she
has not before very long the mere attempt
must bring on q fearful war. Is there nc
such thing as giving up a crusade, which be-
gan with being optional and is found to be
Intellectual? Is nothing to be surrendered
except after the loss of 10000 lives on both
sides and thirty millions Of money? Is there
no other use, equally benevolent, 10 which We
could put the half million and valuable lives
annually sunk in these squadrons 7"
In the city article Of the Times, some re
Elections are made on the same subject, anG
1t IS asked whether, supposing America IN
willing to find ships for the suppression o.
the slave trade there might not be an agree
ment for one or two American officers 10 be
received as permanent guests on board Bri
tish vessels, while serving on such duties
apd all searches to be conducted under tn,
auspices Of such American ofhcersf
The Daily News editorial on the sam
subject, regards the affair as q disagreeabl
one but thinks it premature to jump q
conclusions without hearing both sides OF tn
question. 1t discredits the reports made b
some of the American captains.
The same paper draws a contrast betwee
the serf emancipation policy Of Russia an
the slave policy of America, and Incident
