BY the utmost work and exertion with

the passengers, and the steamer kept aioat
until the next morning | o'clock, when
an iron life boat was lowered, but before
the ladies could be let down the Melville
sunk. and consequently the life boat upset

NEW YORK, March 26.-The steamship
America arrived tonight with Southampton
dates to the 18th inst.
In the Hsuse Of Commons, on the 18th, the
char cellor Of the exchequer stated that he
would make financial statement on the 9th
Of April.
Mr Fitzgerald called attention to the report
Of the Canadian defenees. He oisclaimed any
intention to attribute to the Federals or to the
people generally spirit Of hostility toward
England. He said we should not disregard
q Gel tain proposal made during the recent
Federals. 1t was important to look to the
Canadian defen ces in the event Of war, and we
ought 10 come to an immediate understanding
with Canada. as portion Of England. She
should bear part Of the cost according TO her
mf ans.
Mr.. Foster believed that a fear of hostilities
was unreasonable and utterly ground less, and
protested against the expense for the defense OF
Canada.
MI Cardwell assured the House that rela-
tons with America continued friendly, but the
Mr. Lowe said the most effectual course, ia
the event Of Canada becoming q battle ground,
would be to concentrate force upon some
other point. We had better let Canada know
the truth and not buoy her up with false ex-
pectatons while we provoked America with a
standing menace. The wisest course would be
to withdraw all troops at once.
Mr. Watkins eaid, to prevent war, England
should declare Canada part OF the British
empire, and defend it,
Mr.. Bright saw the root OF these misunder-
standings 1t was q feeling Of jealousy enter.
tanned in England against the American nation.
Every one knew that England could not hold
Canada in case OF war. What would England
have said IL che had suffered as the Americans
have from the Alabama
Mr.. Palmerston denied that England was
jealous, and believed that there was q good
feeling entertained toward England by the
great bulk OF the American people Doubtless
the North and South have some feelings for
our non. .espousal Of their cause, but this Is no
reason why we should not place Canada in a
state Of defense. Mr.. Palmerston could not
agree with Mr. Lowe 1t was not the intention
Of the government to follow his advice. The
relations petween England and America were
perfectly friendly.
