FOREIGN ARRIVAL.

HALIFAX, August 3.
The steamer Arabia from Liverpool p,
via Queenstown 26, arrived here here this
evening. crr
The Marine Insurance Companies had
reported the loss Of e150,00O BY the esp-
ture Of the ship B. F. Hoxie.
An anti Southern Association was being
formed at Manchester to counteraet the in
fence and correct the misrepresentation
Of the Shareholders Of the Southern Con
federacy, and to employ all measure
against a recognition of the Confederate
States.
The Army and Navy Gazette thinks that
with Grants army, free to cooperate with
Roseorans, there is no ground for speak
lug hopefully of the prospects Of the Con-
federaoy, unless Lee is able to reverse
their misfortune by great victory.
In the House of Commons on the 23d, the
subject of the Foreign enlistment act was
introduced by Mr.. Golden, who referred to
the proceedings of the Alabama, florida and
Virginia, all built in British ports for the
Confederate service. 4l-u ta
He said it was we'll known that two iron
eled ships were now being built at Liver
pool for the same purpose, and he believed
| that if they were allowed to leave England
| the result would be q declaration OF war
on the part Of the American Government
American shipping had almost become
rvalueless in consequence Of the seizures
made by Confederate cruisers, and he i'm
plored the Government to take steps to
prevent the departure Of these vessels.
He was informed that the American
Government took note Of the value OF
every vessel captured and debited 1t to
lher Majesty's Government.
| He was further informed that the Amer
lean Minister had made a formal claim
upon England to indemnify American
ship owners for their losses. No doubt
the CLAIM was repudisted by her Majes-
TVS Government. 0utof disputed claims
Of this nature an expensive and disas
trous war might result.
Mr.. Laird, referring more particularly
to the case Of the Alabama, said everything
had been done in broad daylight. ID
tauuted Golden with pursuing cours
which. while it would enable his friend
in the North to get all they wanted, woul
put a stop in England to q legitimat
branch of industry. He accused the Anne
rieans of having built ships Of war 70
3 Russia during the Crimean war and rail-
: inc recruits in Ireland since the outbrea
Of the present conflict.
Lord Palmerston defended the cours
which the government had taken, and sal
t he could zee no distinction in principle b.
= tween selling arms to the Federals an
= selling ships to the Confederates. He o.
pealed to the principle laid down on u
y subject by the Americans themselves.
g was. of course, time that England had
It municipal lsw bearing on the question, b
4 the government haCi carried out that Law
\ the best of their ability, ana that u
which they saw no reason to alts- :"
the emergencies Of foreign power, IL,
? would continue TO enforce as far az pOss
Ie BILE for them to do.
Mr.. Golden was prevented on point
order, from reading letter from GideC
% Wells in parliament. The letter was ne
st ertheless published in the papers. It
,e dated April 18th, 1853, and is addressed
Charles Sumner and refers to Mr.. Laird
statements in Parliament that his fir
re had been approaehedin in 1861 by the sgen
as of the Federal Government relative
/ building war vessels for the North.
:, Mr.. Speller asserted that neither direC
by his authority to Mr.. Lsirds, or any 9th
I'd foreign ship builder for the construction
IN vessels for the American Government.
- Advances were made to him however
= behalf of numerous English and 9th
re foreign ship builders, but he declined
a every instance any proposition to build
ID procure to be built vessels for the fedeI
T. navy abroad.
> Mr.. Laird asserts that he is prepared
maintain the truth Of his former ststeme
p and offered to place the proof in Lo
PalmerstOn's hands.
