Southern Confederacy by foreign powers,
is at length dispeled, and we may rest
assured will not again ariie, unless
through our own wrong or indiscretion
The Queens speech at the opening oI
the British Parliament on the 9th inst,
contained the gratifying announcement
('banks 10 the far.seeing diplomacy oI
Mr.. Seward y that ga question of great
importance. and which might have led ia
serious consequences, Gle question o.
the Trent, "has been satisfaclorially
settled" and that "the friendly relations
between Her Majesty and the President
Of the United States are, therefore, unim
paired" And we have also the declar
alton Of Eari Russell 10 the Southern
Commissioners, that England could mol
acknowledge the Confederate State,
until the war or further negotiations more
fully determined their position" The
only cause Of complaint remaining after
The surrender OF Mason and Slidell, (and
it was never very serious one, being
obviated by the assurance Of Mr.. Seward
TO Lord Lyons, that the Government o
the United States does not design, by
means Of the stone blockade, 10 pcrma
rently destroy Southern harbors, but, OF
the contrary, will deem it duty 10 re
move all distractions lherefrom on the
restoration Of peace, it may safely be af
irmed that our relations with Great Brit
ain are encouraging, il not entirely salts
factory, while the Rebels have nothing tc
hope from British interference.
France, the Government we have
OF late, been repeatedly assured would
take the initiative in the work of raising
the blockade, de,-proclaims her neutrality
in the most authoritative manner. We
quote from the speech Of the Emperor the
following passage, in relation 10 our Ma
lonal troubles: .3sa .il a.st
"The civilwar which desolates America
has seriously compromised our CONNER
cial interests. Nevertheless, so long as
the rights Of nsutrals are respected, we
must con6ne ourselves 10 the utterance
of wishes that these dissensions may soon
be terminated" tllr
These assurances Of friendship and
neutrality are the more valuable because
made before the most brilliant Federal
victories had been won. The news o.
those victories must render the case o.
the Southern Confederacy in the courts o
foreign powers, more desperate, if posi-
bic. than ever. Surely, there remains
no hope for the Rebels. Defeated a

cause abhorred by God and condemned

A lawsuit, styled by the London press s'the
Great Umbrella Question, y has just been decid-
ed in . London court:
s'The case grew out of the refusal Of one
Captain Gsrnham to pay . penny to the old
woman at the picture gallery ofthe Great Ex-
hibition, who demanded that fee for taking
charge Of umbrellas and walking sticks. Capt.
Garnham, . season ticket holder, after con
troyersy with the commissioners On the subject
gave them notice Of his intention to refuse pay
ment Of the penny, and accordingly he did 50
on the l4th ult. His umbrella was therefore
detained, and Capt Garnham thereupon enter
ed plaiat to recover the sum Of 81. 15s. dam
ages and 81. costs. y. s....i. i, fF.--4s.,
The Judge, Mr.. Adolphus, in his summing
up, said there could DO no question that the
commissioners had right to make regulations
for the admission Of the public into the picture
gallery; that it Was clearly great aScomoda-
ton to the public to provide for the safe Gus
tody Of sticks and umbrellas; and it wss . Ger.
vice which the commissioners could not, and
which he should say the public didnot q . body
expect them to perform gratis. When il was
the custom to give the box-ksspsrs at Covent
Garden or Drury Lane Theatre sixpencs for
taking charge Of sstick or umbrella, there
Was ones pennrious or eccentric old gentle
man Who used to take his umbrella to the
nearest pswnbroksr's. he used to pawn il
for Is. and he then managed to have il kept
for him I've hours ct . very much less rate than
Cd. He vas Of opinion that when spsrson left
his umbrella With the commissioners servant,
hs entered into a implied contract to pay the
penny; bat in the present case. where the
plaintiff had expressly given notice that he
would not pay II it could not b held that he
