MIR. Bright was present at n banquet given by
the birmingham Chamber Of Commerce, and, in
the course Of speech which he made he urged
that the Chambers of Commerce should give their
attention to political as well as commercial sub
jects, and p inted to questions of maritime law,
the growing expenditure OF the country, the
cotton supply, the necessity for radical reform
in ludia, &c, as subjects for them to grapple
with MIR. Bright refuted the idea that the
American blockade was ineffective. aud stated
that he believed il could be demonstrated that
there never was in the history Of Europe
blockade at one time so effective throughout 30

America was in position to be tramped upon,
pointed out the dangers OF any interference, and
concluded by stongly urging policy of neutral

The London correspondence Of The Mdnches-
Ter Guardian represents that Earl Russell's letter
to the Admiralty relative to the visit of bellger-
ent ships to British ports had called forth great
Indignation on the part OF Mr.. Adams, who made
no secret of his sentiments. lie also says that
there was considerable difference Of opinion in
political circles as to the policy aud propriety
of the course taken and it was probable that
MIR. Adams would find no lack of organs in the
press aud in Parliament for the utierancc of his
Indignation. The writer says that the Govern

the Tuscarora.

North America, owing to the SEIZURE and forcible
removal of four passengers from on board a
British mail packet by the commander of a ship
Of-war Of the United States The question has
been satisfactorily settled by the restoration OF
the passengers to British protection, and by the
dsayowal by the United States Government of
