Large quantities arc unde:s stood to be on tho

OArs.-The New York Shipping List Of tue
9Th, contains the following:
We hear of lively movement in Oats up
North. According to the Albany journal, tnerr
are parties in Canada who hold a large quantity
which they intend shipping TO England during
the Summer months on speculation. The
amount is variously estimated from $3.50 900 to
400, 900 bushels. 4 letter from Montreal states
that four vessels hare been engaged to take
them from the St. Lawre-ce, while another
states that the freights hare been engaged ia
New York upon much more advantageous
terms than could be obtained in Canada.
The Toronto GIo1e Of the 10th contains the
following:
In oats there has not been so much done rs in
former weeks. There ia q large stock held for
shipment east but rates abroad, at present, ore
not sufficiently high to induce d movement.
This has had the effect Of keeping prices low,
wiki Il smaller supply than usual. The prices
paid to farmers bare been 88@35c per bu.
The y. T. Courier and Enquirer of the Shire
ports freights engaged for $4,000 bn oats to

From Washington.

New 70 Tahuae Washington correspondence
WASHINGTON, May l0.-3lost serious and i'm
poFtant Developments were made before the CO.
vode Committee to-day. Mr. Wendell va. cali
ed up to show how the $4,000 or $4,000.
which be said had been expended in carving
the English bill through the House, had been
applied. His bonks were. compared With those
Of the Bank Of the Metropolis, which were pre-
tented by Mr. Stewart, its book keeper. lie
proved that the money had been distributed
through Bean Of Ohio, clerk in Mr. Aliens Of.
fee iu the last Congress, and Alexander II. Kay
OF Pennsylvania, i gentleman Of elegant 1eis.
ure, well known in sporting circles, aad Wash-
ington correspondent Of tue n. !. Erpytss. ind
Secretary to the "Union and Constitutional
Committee," over which Mr.. Crittenden presid.
ed. Mr.. Hay received the largest sum for dis
tribution, and the money was appropriated ex-
clusircly to carry the bill through tbs House.
Mr. Wendell did not deny that ten thousand
or fifteen thous aud dollars had been authorized
for single vote, and admitted that these pay
ments we're made in expectation Of being re-
which he had formerly prohted 10 large ex-
tent. He testified to having had many conver.
sations with The President curing tho progress
Of thu English bill, ana in reference to that sub
jeet.
The Senate Committee On Territories met this
morning, md reached IN unexpected conclu-
sion, considering previous developments. Stx
members were present, and when the question
was put whether the boundaries ehould be al
tered, as proposed By Mr.. Green, Mr. Latham,
voted in the negative, thus tying the Committee
aud preventing an amendment from being re-
ported. Ms. 1athatn's course may infect tho ul-
innate decision in the Senate, aud possibly car
~ Kansas through, despite Southern combina-
tlons.
II Is reported that the name Of Mr. Russell, Of
Ulster Co., n. T., and one Of the delegates to
Charleston, will be sent into the Senate tomor-
row as Nary Agent at New York, vice Geo. Il.
Sanders, removed.
The House Naval Committee hare finished
their amendments to the Senate bill, increasing
the pay Of the Navy. It is substantially the
Senate bill. 1t changes the pay Of surgeons,
making sheir pay more uniform. 1t will be re-
ported to the House On Monday next, with the
view Of putting it upon its passage.
Lord Lyons had 4 protraoted interview with
the Secretary Of State to-day in regard to the
San Juaa affair. 1t is pretty evident that the
matter is not so easy Of solution as Lord John
Russell supposed. The proposition Of the Eng
l,sh Government for final settlement has been
peremptorily and positively declined by our
Government, and tho final settlement is as re-
| mote to-day as 1t was in the beginning. Our
Government, rs from the first, maintains its uu.
disputed right TO the Island. What new posi-
tion England will next assume in the matter,
the next mall will probably disclose.
