The London Ddiiv Nerrs confidently dis
missed the supposition that the Alabama claims
can become direct cause o war between
the two countries, but 1t trusts that something
will yet be done TO bring the dispute to an
early practical settlement, for it is one which
can in no other way be disposed II would
be an eternal disgrace if both governments
should confess themselves unable to find anv
but violent solution of their differences.
but there is state of nominal peace which
has many of the disadvantages of war.
The liberation of the captain and crew of
the Shenandoah is said to have been uncon-
ditional, the British government being of the
opinion that there are no legal grounds upon
which they could be detained
Captain Waddell, in a letter to Earl
Russell, which is published, says: In obe-
dience to orders, found myself in the Artic
and Ochotsk seas, far, removed from the or

British Captain diligently sought for a pre-
cedent for guidance in the future control
management and final disposal of the vessel
but found none.
Finding the authority under which he acted
questioned, he Immediately ceased cruising
and shaped his course for the Atlantic. He
did not feel justified in destroying the vessel
but on the contrary thought the ship should
revert to the American Government He
therefore sought'Lverpool to learn the news,
and if without foundation to surrender the
ship with her guns, stores, and apparel com
plete to the British Government for such dis
position as it should deem proper.
The Shenandoah was surrendered to the
American Consul on the 10th, who took formal
possession and placed her under Captain
Freeman and a crew of his own selection to
convey the ship to New York.
Tom Sayers, the pugiist, is dead. He died

Earl Russell attended the Lord Mayor S
banquet on the 5th. In a speech he paid a
tribute to the memory Of the late Lord Pal
merston.
II is understood that the Western Union
Telegraph Company had contracted with Mr.
Hurley, of North Woolwich, for the manu-

The subsidized mail steamship service be-
tween Brest and New York is likely to cause
q considerable acceleration of postal and
passenger traffic between France and Ameri-
ca. The steamers, which will be similar to
the Scotia, are building in the Clyde.
