State of New York, and the Hon. John
Rose of Canada, on the part of the
Queen, were early and duly appointed.
But as had been foreseen, they failed
to agree on an umpire. In conso-
quence of this, through the advice. we
understand, Of Earl Russell, acting on
behalf of Che Queen, the English com
missioner was advised to cut the knot
of the difficulty by at once waving all
national objections and feelings. and
proposing the Hon. b. r. Curtis, for
mery OF the Supreme Court Of the
United States to the American com
missioner for umpire. Mr. Curtis, we
learn, has received the appointment
aud has accepted it. Considering the
legal questions, the large pecuniary
interests, and the national susceptible
ties involved it must be gratifying to
the people Of the United States that
the English government has been will
ing to confde them all, in the last re-
sort so far aa they are concerned,
to the Judicial up ightness, the ability
and tho legal learning Of an American
citizen Boston Idrei9i-er.
