NEW YORK, March 26.-TheA steamship
America. from Bremen, via Southampton,
on the 10th, arrived tonight. is
In the House of Commons, on the 18th,
the chancellor of the Exchequer stated
that ne will make financial statenent on
the 9th Of April.
Mr. Fitzgerald called attention to Col.
Jervis' report of Canadian defences Hs
detained any Intention of attribntino To
the Federals, or to the people generally a
spirit of hostility towards England. We
should not disregard a certain proposal du.
ring the conference between the Confeder-
stes and the Federals. It was important
to look to Canadian defeuces in the event
of war, and We ought to come to an imme-
date understanding with Canada as to the
proportion England should bear of the
cost of its means of defence.
Mr.. Foster believed that the fear of hos.
uliues was unreasonable and utterly
Rroundless, and protested against the ex.
pense for the defense of Canada.
Mr.. Cardwen assured the House that our
relations with America continued perfectly
friendly, but the government was prepared
to defend Canada.
Mr.. D'tsraeli thought Canada should be
properly defended. He said the most efFec.
tual course in the event of Canada becom-
ing battle ground, would be to Concen.
trste q force upon some other point
We had better let Canada know the truth
and notbuoy her up with false expectations
while we provoked America with stand
ing menace. The wisest course would be to
withdraw alltroops at once.
Mr.. Walker said to prevent war England
should declare Canada part of the British
empire and defend it.
Mr.. Bright said the root of the misun-
derstanding was that feeling of jealousy
was entertained by England towards the
American Nation. Every one knew Eng
land could not hold Canada in case of war.
What would England have said, if she had
suffered as Americans have from the Ala.
bsma2
Lord Palmerston denied that England
was jealous, and believed there was good
feeling towards England among the great
bulk of Americans.
No doubt both the North and South
have some feeling for our non espousal of
their cause, but this was no reason why
We should not place Canada in state of
defence. Palmerston could not agree with
some. twas not the intention of Govern.
ment to follow his advice. The relations
between England and America were per.
fectly friendly.

B8OUR business men complain to us Of
the Baltimore road. Scarcely any ships
ments are now being made into the int.
rior. 1t is rare thing to get chance to
load few goods on the cars. Orders are
en- file untitled, and those filed are uu-
shipped. Goods sold two and three weeks
ago are still in their houses. On many of
these orders heavy declines have taken
plsce-all at the expense of the shippers.
The declines are nothing, however, in the
estimation of our business men. They
expect such things and do not mind them.
What they lament is their inability, from
no fault of their own, to supply their trade.
tits to be said for the road that the gov
eminent has been shipping heavily in its
cars. 1t is also to be said that great
deal of through freight is passing, and it
is of the preference given to this latter
freight that shippers here complain. They
say that if fewer contracts were made west
for freight, better local accommodations
could be furnished. represent cramped
allowance to them is matter of growing
embarrassment and injury. Shippers are
vexed, annoyed and damaged. Indirectly
the whole interests of the city suffer by
the policy of the road.

giving ample opportunity to see the inhu-

on poor oppressed sufferers who have been
guilty of no crime but that of treason. The
ground floor of the building is divided into
two apartments, one of which is used as
quarters for the Provost Guard, the other
for men under sentence of court martial
for violation of army regulations. We
judge there were near one hundred men
confined in this apartment. A kitchen is
attached which We found as clean and neat
as the most tidy housewife could desire.
On the second floor there are several
rooms including Office aud kitchen. One
of the main rooms is used for quarters and
as prison for stragglers and other soldiers,
necessarily under temporary confinement,
suitable hunks and tables being provided
for their accommodation. From this apart.
