with the escape Of the Alabama, which
no one friendly, or unfriendly to it, pre-
tendsto deny, is good ground whercon to
doubt its integrity in all similar matters
It is true that the Alexandra has for the
present been subjected to the police Of that
government, but it is also true that another
rebel gunboat called the Japan, or the Vir~
ginia, contriyed to clude the vigilance Of
the Grcenock officials, although she was
ordered under arrest; and the completely
which wlnked at the outgoing Of the Ala
hama could easily enough shut its eyes
Whilst the Japan was clearing for sea.
We have no faith whatever, not the
slightest, in the boasted justice and fair
dealing of the British Government; and
there seems to bea vast deal Of intelligent,
and intelligible method in the exit Of the
Japan. To cripple the United States, to
lon of some Of its vast limbs Of Empire,
to destroy its commerce, to dlshearten, If
possible, its Administration and people In
the conduct Of this rebel war, by throwing
every possible material obstruction in its
way, and depriving it Of an generous and
noble sympathy.-this is the object Of
the aristoc1ats Of Great Britain as proved
by the action Of that government from the
first awful booming Of the first gun that
was fired from Fort Moultric, down to the
simulated justice of this first gunboat seiz-
ure.
It's next to impossible that the Japan
could hare got out Of Greenock port with.

THURSDAY, March 26.-The committee on
the close of the session reported that there
was a large amount of unfinished business in
the hands of committees, and that it would
not be practicable to adjourn before the 18th
of April. The question of printing 5000 cop
les of the memorial of Mr.. aaupt was de-
bated at length. The objections were that it
was not paper of public character, and was
disrespectful in style The question was ia
ken by yeas and nays, and lost by tie vote,
IA to IA.
In the house, the vote of Mr. Boutelle of
Ashburnham on the marriage and divorce bill
having been recorded ''yea" instead of "nay"
as he intended, the journal was accordingly
amended by unanimous consent. Mr.. Haupt's
memorial came down from the senate referred
to the special committee on the Troy and
Greenfield railroad. 1t was laid on the ia
bic. MIR. Stevens Of Boston introduced re-
solve allowing $4,000 to the Washington
ian Home, to be expended for the charitable
purposes OF that institution. The committee
on towns introduced bill authorizing the
town of Milford to purchase land Tor a public
park not exceeding in value $4,000 Mr..
Chandler of Boston introduced a bill.
which was referred 10 the committee
on banks and banking, providing ~ that
| any bank which shall become an association
under the national currency act shall be there

Provided, that such association shall assume
and be liable for all the debts of the said bank.
| and that the bank commissioners shall be salts
ned and certify to the governor, that the cor.
| poration can, as such association, continue its
business with safety to the public: (2) that

ton, shall have the right by vote represent
| ing twc-thirds of its capital, at a special meet
! ing, to reduce its capital to such sum as thew
shall deem proper, and on becoming such as
ISOLATION shall do business only with its re-
! duced capital.

up. The following amendments were adopt
ed: (1) Providing that the militia shall not
be exempted from prescribed parade in time
of war; (2) Exempting clerks as well as JUS
tees of courts Of record; (3) Striking out the
provision for the exemption of Quakers and

with such statement of its contents as our

ty, comprehcnsiyeness, and thoroupbness
with winch the commissioners have discharged
the duty assigned to them. Agree with their
conclusions or not, you leave the report with
the assured conviction that these men have
met all the questions involved manfullv and
with an eye single to the welfare of the com
monwealth. The selection of such men did
credit to Gov. Andrew, and their work must
not only be indiSsolubly associated with the
public enterprise it advocates, but have high
rank as contribution to the history of the
skill and courage developed in the construc-
ton Of the railway.
The report itself fills 100 pages, and is
signed by J. w. Brooks, president of the
Michigan Central road, S. NJ. FELTON,, presi-
dent of the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and
Baltimore road, and Alexander Holmes, pres
iaent OF the Old Colony and Fall River road
foiow'ng the report proper is an appendix,
containing the reports made to the commits
siohers' by y s. Storms, Esq, who was sent
by them to Europe, that he might examine all
the important tunnels in Europe, and espec-
laliy that now being made under the Aims. At
Mont Gents. This he seems to have 49,
faithfully. He also sought every opportnn;t,
to get the views of the men of the largest ~
perienee in such works, upon every point
which has come up for discussion in connec-
ton with the Hoosac tunnel, and has stated
what they told him. In this way the commits
sioners have been able to hear from men whom
of all others it was most desirable to consult.

News from Richmond.

FoRr MONROE, March 25,-Four Germans
families arrived this morning at fort Monroe
from Richmond via Yorktown. They report
that the prevailing opinion in Richmond is
that the rebels will soon evacuate that city,
and probably most Of Virginia. Freedom of
speech is much less restricted than formerly.
They bring no news from Charleston, but say
the rebels were expecting an attack upon that
city daily. Provisions were exceedingly high
in Richmond and wages correspondingly high
for mechanics. They came out of the con-
federacy under foreign protection. In Rich
mond oranges and lemons were recently sold
at auction for SIS per box. Two guards at
Chattacoochie bridge in attempting to arrest a
man shot each other and let the prisoner es-
cape. An order has been issued from the
rebel adj. generals office placing all officers
who resign or may be dropped from the rolls,
and those who are caShiered by court martial,
back in the ranks as privates.

New York, March 26.-The steamship
Etna, from Liverpool 18th, via Queenstown
18th, arrived this morning.
Political news unimportant. The marriage
of the Prince Of Wales, and the attendant re-
Jocings, absorbed great attention. The cere-
mony came off at Windsor on the 10th, ac-
cording to the programme, with great pomp
and brilliancy. The queen occupied retired
post of observation, but took no part. The
royal pair went TO Osborne to spend the hon
eymoon. The day was holiday throughout
England, and the public rejoicings, illumina-
tons, &C., were on the grandest scale.
In the house Of commons Sir George
Gray explained the circumstances under

LouIsyILLn, March G.--Skrmishing is
reported near camp Dick Robinson, which
has resulted thus far favorably to the feder-
ais. The forces are about equal, the federals
under Gen. Garter having the advantage of
position. A general engagement is expected
soon.
John G. Breckenridge was at Tullahoma on
the 9th; consequently he is not in command
OF the band of marauders near Danville.
There are no reports Of any kind of rebel
advance to-day The Frankfort train has
not arrived. 1t is two and a half hours be-
hind time. The cause of the delay is not
known. There are rumors of the rebels in
several proXimate localities, but they are not
credited at headquarters, nor do they appear
to come from authentic sources.
