Petition to Secretary Seward.

A petition is in circulation in Boston, ad
dressed to Secretary Seward, and requesting
him to make no further demand upon the
British Government for compensation for the
depredations committed upon our commerce
by the Alabama and other British cruisers.
The petition sets forth that it would be an
injury to this country to weaken, for the sake
of the few millions of dollars involved in the
claims of our citizens, the prospective value of
the precedents thus set by the British Govern
ment. 1t adds:
They beg you to remember that, Judging of
the future by the past the time cannot be far
distant when the British Government will be
belligerent, and whether against Russia.
France, or Brazil, or against It's Indian sub,
jects, the heroic Sepoys, or its oppressed Irish
provinces, its next war, when we are at peace.
will give us the same opportunity in principle,
and an hundred times greater in degree, which
her merchants, mechanics, and shipbuilders,
have had to profit by our misfortunes.
While her commerce equals ours IN tonnage
the value of her merchandise atioat. is always
infinitely greater than ours, many OF our ship:
being usually loaded by the help OF BRITISH
capital.
Where she built one Alabama or blockade
runner we can build an hundred, provided he
precedents are allowed to remain.

INDIANAPOLIS, November 3.-The match
between the Cincinnati and indianapolis
Cricket Clubs came off yesterday, at the
grounds of the Indianapolis Club, northwest
of the city, near the old Fair Ground The
wickets were pitched at nine o'clock, and the
match concluded at FIVE in the afternoon
Considering the comparative inexperience OF
the Indianapolis Club, the match was a spirited
one, and victory perched, as was to have been
expected, on the banner of the Cincinnati
Club. The score was 10S to 81. The Indian
apolis Club did we'll for new players. The ut

The Bones of Red Jacket-A Singular
Family Relic.

A writer in the Albany .Ecening Journal
who has been visiting the Cattarraugus Indian
Reservation, says:
"The bones of Red Jacket are not buried,
but are kept at the house of his descendants in
a wooden chest. On the death of the great
chief he was buried on the Buffalo Reservation.
The stone over his grave was gradually chip
ped away, and the memorial otherwise defaced
by too eager memento hunters. The Indians
meantime removed to this reservation. Lead
ing gentlemen of Buffalo determined to place
his remains in the new city cemetery, beyond
the reach of the over curious, and honor them
with monument. Accordingly they procured
leaden coffin, but his family, on learning the
purpose, refused to accede to it, and demand
ed the dust of the great orator, and ever since
have tenaciously held all that remains of him.
Measures are now on foot, however, under the
auspices of the Buffalo Historical Society, to
give the bones appropriate burial

Queen Victoria expected to reach London

No official announcement has been made

cordial assurances of support from all his col
leagues. The Globe believes that Lord Clar-

Public opinion generally favors thecap-
pointment of Earl Russell. The ITmes which
at first favored Gladstone, had rather veered

The Explosion at the Wyoming Hotel.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Iwenty-two persons
were injured by the explosion at the Wyo-
ming Hotel yesterday, none severely however,
except Cornelius Stevens, milkman, who
was passing at the time. Thirteen of the in
jured belonged to the hotel. The box was left
in the hotel by man named Theodore Leers.
The bar-keeper Grozan and Mr.. Mereserau,
who moved the box from the building, got
away before the explosion took place.
Mr.. Leers has been arrested. He states
that he brought the box from Harris
burg; that it contained chemical oils, and
was entrusted to him as specimens for
sale by the agent of the house of Wilhelm
& Rec, of this city. Mr.. Leers asserts
positively that he never opened it, and
knew nothing further of its contents than
stated above. When he left the hotel to
board elsewhere he forgot the box, but sub
sequently told man named Shoemaker to
get it for him, which the latter neglected to do.

The Sensational Reports from Canada.

TORONTO, Nov 6.-The special sensational
kilograms from this city in reference to an
excitement being caused by the Fenians may
be regarded as the productions of some one
with lively and excitable Imagination, there
being no excitement whatever. The feeling
is that the Government is quite able to deal
with any Fenian projects that may be Matched
here or elsewhere. The banks have extra
guards, as there have been quite a number of
daring burglaries recently. 1t is reported that
the volunteer armores are well guarded. The
daily papers have occasional articles on the
Fenians, but beyond this there are no signs of
the alleged excitement

CATTLE are still abundant in Florida. The

that the heavy drafts made upon Florida during

Victory of the Allied FOrces-Surrender of

In addition to the despatch in yesterdays CONNER
cial concerning the in Paraguay, we present the
following interesting particulars of the siege of IRA
quay, brought by the bark Katherine Maude, which
arrived at Boston from Buenos Ayres on Sunday:
The Allied Powers of Brazil, Uruguay and the Ar
gentine Confederation have gained important vic
tory the capture of the beseged city of raguayana;
with its entire garrison of five thousand Paraguayan
soldiers. This siege was begun August 5th, last. 1t
army, which is said to contain nearly hundred
thousand men in its ranks, pursued small force of
BraZilians to the interior of the province of Rio
Grande and were, in consequence of some operations
the part of the Allied forces forced to stand in the
town of Uraguayana.
The town was Immediately invested by the allies.
The beseged force built wall about four miles in
circumference around the town. and also dtched and
otherwise fortified the position which had the double
disadvantage of being entirely separated from the
base of supplies and very inferior defensive posi-
ton. About eight or ten guns were mounted by the
defenders. The siege progressed with considerable
vigor to Aug 20, when Gen. Flores the commander
othe allied forces demanded the surrender of the city
and forces The Paraguayan commander, Antonio Es-
tigarribia, declined to obey the summons. About this
time little later, affairs began to look more serious
for the Paraguayans, rentorcements of Brazians,
der the Baron de Porto Allegro having formed juno
ton with the army of Gen. Flores and completed the
investment of the position. dispute arose be-
tween the two allied commanders as to seniority in
rank, and ten days of inactivity followed. The dis

in person. and the siege pushed with vigor. The
siege finally ended, as we are informed by the news
by the Katherine Maude, in the surrender of the
garrison, after siege of six weeks. The prisoners
were summarily disposed of by being drafted into
the allied army to fight against their country
men. The victory caused great rejoicing at Buenos
Ayres.
