Ell SENATOR c. c. CiAY.-As to the charac.
ter Of this evidence we have just one remark to
make at present. and that is TO point out a most
glaring ms.tatement on the part of the witness
Merritt. This man says he converssd with
Clement C. Clay in Montreal in February last
Having had our suspicious aroused as to the pos
slbility of this statement being correct, we have
made inquiries which have resulted as follows :
That Mr.. Clay left the Queens Hotel in this city
on the 9th of December, 1864, and according to
the statement of the clerk has not since returned
10 Toronto. From here Mr.. Clay went directly 10
Montreal, where he remained not more than five
or six days, thence to Quebec, where he remained
threa DAYS and at the end of that time went by
the overland route TO Halifax. from which he
sailed long before the month of February
When he left Bermudl for he South he did not
know of the fall of Fort Fisher for the vessel on
which he took passage attempted to run the
blockade at Wilmington aud was near being cap
tured. he then put back TO Nassau and from
there ran into Charleston before its fall. Ii can
easily be shown that Mr.. Clay was in none of
these provinces in February, at which time this
man Merritt processes TO have had conversation
with him at Montreal Truth demsndt that this
correction should be made; and if the whole
evidence is to be judged by this statement, 1t
would soon tumble TO the ground. But we do
not desire 70 draw any general inference from the
published evidence until, at oil events, the whole
OF it has appeared in print.-Toronto Daily
Leader, June s.

The London News paper signally jealous on
the Federal side in the late war, now urges the
assumption OF the payment to British subjects of
the Confederate Co.t0n Loan, by the United
States, on the ground that the cotton that was
pledged for its .d3np.ion has beel seized and is
now .eld by the Federal GOve-nment-and the
additional QUAD that the States by which the
Loan was authorized, with all their resources,
srs now subjset to the au horty and control of
the United States. The claim is put forth most
Likely only with the view of raising an offset to
the demand # the United stateS for indemnity on
account of the operations of the Alabama and
other Confederate cruisers from British ports. II
will be alio we'd about the time that Great Britain
recognizes the Confederate Government, or
when the Greek Kalends cone.
