S of the Shenandoah in British waters at III
present Juncture is an untOward and M
: welcome event. It is fortunate that in III
! instance nothing practically turns on III
original equipment of the ship thus place
IN our hands, although built and manne
IN fraud of the neutrality laws, there wa
no proof at the time Of sailing to justif
her detention. On every principle of laI
she belongs to the Government which ha
succeeded 10 the rights and property of tn
Confederate Government. The most seri
GUS question is concerning the officers an,
crew. 1t is to be greatly regretted that tht
snip ever came back TO England.
The Times says that the Mork of provint
that he did not know of the end of the wa
at the time he destroyed the whale ship
rests with Capt Waddcl. 1t SAYS tha
neither he nor his crew can, under any cir
eumstances, be given over to the United
! States on the crime of which thew are ac
cused. Supposing them to have wilfulI,

that OF piracy, and on this charge, it is pos
slble, they may be apprehended and trieC
before an English Court of Justice.
| The Liverpool Post says When Captain
| Waddell heard the real news he put about
ship and ran for Lisbon, not knowing the
intentions of the British government or the
Federal government. He entered Torgus
| paid off his crew and pnt new crew on
board. In his long cruise and long voyage
he never encountered a British or American
man -Of-war.
A Liverpool dispatch to the London News
says: On board the Shenandoah there are
about thirty-six ehrOnOmeters, together with
number of sextants, some cabinet furni-
tiirn-G Glrs and -otha=-arficles Of rVSaI1ie
In her hold there still remains large dTTne
tlty of ammunition, together with six short
guns and large swivel.
The Liverpool Mercury says: The rep
resentative of the American government
at this port has been, since the arrival of
the vessel, in communication with the Gus
tom House authorities.
1t is also stated that certain CONNER
cIal houses who were deeply interested in
the success of the COnfederacy, were engaged
yesterday in making inquiries in regard 10
the Shenandoah. There may be, therefore.
some point raised as to the giving up of the
vessel. Some Of the authorities have been
in communication and their decision in re-
gard to the final destination of the vessel
may be expepted in few cas-.
THE CHOLERA DISAPPEARING.
All accounts agree that the cholera is fast
in Paris. The mortality was
on the 1st of November to be less
luGu OAt man OF WHAT II lOFnerlY was.
Since then still further reduction has been
experienced. Deaths in both hospitals and
in the city, amounted to no more than so or
30. In Malta deaths have diminished until
they a:erage no more than fourteen per
day.
t-he French government had prosecuted
The Opinion Rationale for spreading views
abroad calculated to disturb the pnblic
pea ;e.
The Times continued to disparage Rus
Sc Is Cabinet. 1t says it would seem as if
there must be an interval of partial disor-
yanization, after which the Cabinet will 90 |
N with renewed strength, or it W II fall TO |
pieces. The issue depends ON themselves, |
IN the boldness and wisdom OF their policy, |
md upon their aptitude in assimilating to |
themselves fhe forces which lie about |
hem.
Meetings have been held in Manchester
md Paris in aid of the emancipated negroes
