NEW YORK, August 6.-The steamer City
of Boston reached this port this evening.
From her files we have the following addi-
tional particulars Of events announced pre-
viously by the cable
In the House of Commons, on the 23d,
Mr.. White asked whether, looking to the
conspicuous good faith of the Government
Of the United States toward Great Britain in
its conduct to the Fenians, Her Msiesty's
Government were now prepared to submit
all claims in dispute between the two pow
ers to an arbitration mutually agreeable.
Lord Stanley said that he quite agreed
with the honorable member as to the good
faith and honorable feeling shown by the
United States in regard to the Fenian con-
spiracy. The government felt most anxious
10 remove any feelings of irritation which
might remain IN connection with these mat
ters but he was afraid he could not give
as positive an answer as the honorable
member desired. These matters had been
already discussed by the late government
and the discussion had terminated; and
during the short time he had been in Office
those claims had not been urged. 1t was
the il tention of the government to issue a
royal commission to inquire into the opera,
ton Of the neutrality laws and what altera-
tiOns might be necessary. He could only
urged, the government would give them the
most favorable consideration.
In both Houses of Parliament, on the
9th, the subject of the riots in Hyde Park
gave rise TO long discussions. In the House
OF Commons the Home Secretary defended
the conduct of the authorities, and said the
matter of right to admittance to the parks
had seen previously decided. A commits
sion was issued by the late government
who inquired fully into the subject and
completely disposed of the use of the parks
for any purpose contrary to the regulations
issued for their management. Counsel had
given the opinion that the authorities had
power to close it and exclude all persons at
tempting an entrance, and to eject any per
sons preaching, or playing Instruments of
music, although not creating a disturbance.
He felt that parks ought not be used for
political demonstrations and religious agi-
tations, and until he was corrected by Par
lament he should still hold that it was his
duty to prevent them.
Mr.. Oliphant said the government had
taken the most certain means to provide a
disturbance and give it Importance. He
hoped that the honorable gentleman on the
government side would take warning, and
fell that if they persisted in locking the gate
of the Constitution the people would pull
down the pallngs Of the Constitution as they
did the palings of the park the previous
evening.
Mr.. Bright, Just before the riot, wrote the
following to the Secretary Of the Reform
League:
RoCHDALE, July 10.
Dear Sir-I thank your council for the in
vitation to the meeting intended to be held
/ in HYDE Park. I cannot leave nome for
/ some days to come, and therefore cannot be
/ in London on the 23d. I see that the Chic
/ of the Metropolitan Police force has an
nouneed his intention to prevent the hold
/ ing of the meeting. 1t appears from thi!
that the people may meet in the Park fol
every purpose but that which ought to be
most dear to them. To meet in the stree
! is ineouvenient, and to meet in the parks il
