ma Adnms-Russen Corresnondence

New YoRk, October 26--All the mornin:
papers comment on the Adams Russell cor
respondence concerning our claims agains
! England for the damages inflicted by the
Anglo-rebel pirates.
The Tribune, after stating the question
says; Should England ever be involved il
a serious foreign war before this difficulty
with the United States is settled, it would
not require much time to cause her to dis
own her present principles,
The Herald says: The trouble arises from
| the existing unsettled and undetermined
international law, and urges Congress oi
the great powers to settle certain principles
which will perpetuate peace between the
new and old world.
The Times, after declaring that Earl Rus
sell in rejecting arbitration rejected some
thing which Mr.. Adams had rendered him,
says that so far as national honor is con-
cerned, Earl Russell may rely upon it that
the United States have no thought of sur
rendering to any power on earth the decis-
ion of any question which can affect her
own honor in the slightest degree. Nor
will they willingly consent to the surren-
der Of the principles of international law,
which are essential to the very existence of
such a thing as neutrality, and which can
not be discarded, as England now in a mis-
taken view Of her own interests seeks to
discard them, without making every war
the signal for universal confagration.
The World says the usage in making
peace treaties is to surrender conquered ter
ritory, but whenever we have a war with
England we should take the Canadas and
keep them. In that way we will secure
compensation for the whole of our losses by
the sham neutrality of England.

in this city, in Centre street. Day and
evening sessions were held. j. NJ. Stearns
presided and delivered an address to the
brethren, congratulating them on the salts
factory progress of the order and the earnest
zeal evinced by the various divisions in the
cause of temperance. There were over
100000 expended last year by the order in
this grand division, and everywhere the
most gratifying results are apparent.
Gold.
Gold exhibits sharp downward tendency.
The decline of 5-20s at London and the con-
tinued large exports of cotton, accompanied
with the decline in foreign exchange, have
tended to shake confidence in an early ex-
port of specie. At the same time govern
ment is paying Outlarge amounts on account
of November interest and purchases for
Customs are comparatively light. The price
touched I4l4, but afterward reached l45k.

HangInan Foot.
This morning in the United States court,
before Judge Nelson, Hon. Dan1 S. Dicken-
son, U. S. District Attorney, moved in court
that Henry S. Foote, ex-member of the
defunct Con federate Congress, be admitted
to the bar as a Counsellor of the Supreme
Court of the United States. The motion
was granted, and Mr.. Foote stepped up TO
the Clerks desk to take the oaths, the first
oath to support the constitution of the Uni
ted States and the State of New York. He
looked without wincing, but the oath of
allegiance was too stiff for him. After list
ening attentively to stringent requirements,
Mr.. F. declared his connection with the
rebel government rendered it impossible
that he should subscribe to such an oath,
and left the court room unsworn.

would refuse TO testify. And as to his SEN
tenee he assured the counsel that ample op-
portunity would be given to take his testi-
mony before he was sentenced.
The judge said that as the rights of the
plaintiff appeared to be in no danger, he
would postpone the examination to the Sth
Of November, at IL o'clock A. NJ.
The WinOOski and Algonquin.
To-day the Algonquin was ahead of the
Winooski l,23S turns. 1t appears that the
Winooski's throttle valves have not been
kept wide open according to rules, and Mr..
Dickerson threatens to stop his engines il
this course is persisted in.
Secretary McCuIIOeh.
WAsHINGToN, October 27.-Special to the
Post says: Secretary McCulloeh has stirred
up a formidable opposition against return
ing to specie payments. He is denounced
by some and piled with arguments and
prayers by others, but he stands firmly by
his Fort Wagner speech. These parties will
now turn to Congress, which will be impor-
tuned not only to deny authority to the
Secretary to continue his policy of funding
legal tenders, but TO extend the present
limit of the national bank notes from three
to tour hundred millions.-
