Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1863-10-23

| The steamer Hibernia, from Liverpool Oct.
18TH, has arrived.
The news is confirmed that the British gov
eminent has seized the rams built III the Mer-
sey Tor the cOntederatcS. The London Daily
News believes that every English gentlemen
| whose reason has not been blinded by preju
| dice and passion will congratulate himself
| upon the step taken by the government in
the rams. The London Morning Herald con-
sideIs the act as significant that Earl Russell
has succumbed to the pressure put upon him
by the federal government. Twowar vessels
had been on the alert to prevent any attempt
ed departure Of the rams.
The character OF the speeches at the New
York banquet to The officers of the Russian
ships had invoked considerable comment in
England. The London Times, in speaking of
the American statements in regardtu the Rus
sian fleet in American waters, saws, that the
Russian squadron of the eastern ocean should
winter in an American port to escape ice in
the Baltic Sea and thus be nearer its cruising
ground i'll the spring, is nothing more than Il
nautical circumstance. To build upon it such
| dlretul consequences to all the world, as have
| been predicted, is not American. 1t is absurd.
1t is an absurdity even that ought to be too
wild Tor stump orators. 1t will be observed
that the Russian and American admirals, who
are real officers and sailors, do not echo the
| bloOdthirsty trash which is ascertained to be-
long to person named Walbridge, who is
like a vanishing director of bubble company
in London.
The Times city article insinuates that Cen
Walbridge got up in England, in 1860, a Cal
itornia gold mining company, in questiona-
bic if not IA dshonorabe manner.
Lord LyndhurSt died on the morning of the
18th inst, at the age OF ninety-one years.
Queen Victoria and the princess Louise
of Hesse, and the princess Helena, were
thrown out Of their carriage near Balmoral,
but sustained fortunately, only slight bruises.
The carriage was thrown on its side. The
accident was caused by the coachman mistak-
ing the road. The king of Belgium will pay
heightened visit to Queen Victoria during
the winter.
An official investigation into the loss of the
steamship Norwegian, resulted in the suspen-
sion of the captains certificate for one year,
on the ground of caution.
1t is said in regard to the Mexican question
that the emperor Napoleon has addressed an
autograph letterto Arch Duke Macmillan fully
approving his reply to the Mexican deputa-
ton. 1t is also said that the reply of Maxi
milan, in Austria, is regarded as an accept
ance of the throne of Mexico, and measures
are being taken to enable the arch duke toset
sail for Mexico either in February or March
next.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times believes that it is true that prince
CzartoriSky has demanded of the French and
English governments their recognition of the
Poles as belligerents, and that France will
not at present accede to the request. What
the reply of England will be is unknown. At
fairs in Poland continue without change
Tranquility, it was reported, was restored in
nearly every part of the provinces of Lithu-
mia, Valheyna, Padelia and Ukrafre.
In France the senate and corps legislatif
were to meet on the 9TH of November
Paris telegram says of Gen. Forays return
to France that it will not be followed by
any reduction Of the French army in Mexico.
