England and the United States.

Although Lord Clarendon, in December
1865, declined continuing the diplomatic
correspondence concerning the depreda-
tions OF the rebel cruisers, he has been un-
able to put a stop to it, and a bulky Blue
book, Just published by the English Gov.
eminent, contains a number Of additional
dispatches, exchanged between the two
Governments, on the Shenandoah.
The new matter embraces a dispatch OF
Mr.. Seward. dated November 80, and read
to Lord Clarendon on December 20, IN
which Mr.. Seward complains of the Brit
ish Government not having instituted
proceedings for the condemnation OF the
Shenandoah. Lord Clarendon, in reply.
suggested again that the two countries
should Join in an endeavor to make the
neutrality laws more stringent. On De-
cember %, Mr.. Adams submitted an i'm
por,ant new affidavit about the fitting
out of the Shenandoah, made by William
A. Temple, a British subject. who remain
ed with Capt. Waddell during the whole
cruise. This affidavit states that OF the
l27 persons on board tho Shenandoah, no
less than IS were, and were known to be,
British subjects; that the principal guns
used during the cruise Of the Shenandoah
were on board when she sailed from Lon.
don that the British Governor Of Mel.
bourne was privately entertained BY Capt
Waddell on the Shenandoah that the
Government Engineer Of Melbourne wa.
on the vessel two or three times a day and
gave his advice about the necessary re.
pairs. and that the Shenandoah captured
and burned 10 vessels after receiving TIT

CITY ELECTION.

Our Virginia readers will bear in mind
that a city election takes place in May
next, for the election Of municipal officers
for one year. The bill which passed the
Assembly legislasing the present corpora
ton officers into place until mex Novem-
Der was lost in the Senate. Citizens
should be duly reminded Of the near APP
preaching election, that they fail not to
qualify themselves for q voice in nominal
tons and final ballot. Il is OF the utmost
Importance that good men be selected for
the next term /; as under their administra-
ton the city debt can be very largely re-
duced, while the city will not 80 unpro-
vided with the necessary and complete
machinery for protection TO property and
life. II the city debt could be paid of in
one year. OF course i, would be a consum-
nation devoutly to be prayed and thanked
for; but for the purpose OF paying off the
debt in considerable part, the current en-
penses Of the city should not be reduced
10 an unsafe figure. For instance: it
would be unwise, it would be jeopardiz-
ing the property Of the citizens in an I'M
warran,able manner and degree TO place
W or three engines out Of service as we
understand the preseu, Mayor and some
Of the Aldermen desire to do. And re-
cent occurrences develop and demonstrate
the necessity for keeping the police force
at its present standard Of force and eff
cheney.
II Virginia could elec, such = man as
F. 4. Trisle for Mayor, and retain in
Office Of Alderman such men as John
Piper. there would be as nearly q perfect
Municipal Government as it as possible to
secure.
Although Gold Hill and Virginia are
separated BY Government lines, the in
terests Of each are so closely reciprocal,
mutual, in all that pertains 10 financial
affairs and the preservation Of good order,
that even if large proportion Of our pat
ronage was no, in the latter place. we
should still feel authorized and bound to
NANTES, a deep concern in the manage
ment Of the city business. So soon as
possible we propose to show, byjncontro-
vertible figures, how much. under existing
laws, can through a good and economical
administration. be gained by the city Of
Virginia within the next twelve months.
The books Of the new Registers, the
Justices of the Peace, will soon be opened
for the ~casaloguing Of names. Every
man who is here mex, Fall, and who is
entitled as a citizen to vote. is. Of course.
bound to be registered. The registry may
as well be made FRS, as last, and better
now than later. by the considerations Of
voting qualifications in May. and a full
sense Of suffrage citizenship during the
entire year. Then, hurrah for every mans
poll tax in time for the city election.

DEPTH OF MINES IN ENoLAND.-An
English journal, after valuing the total
product of the mines Of Great Britain at
f4l,49l,l0 per annum. and computing
that Englands supply Of coal will last at
leas. seven hundred years longer, at pre-
sent rates of consumption, gives the follow
ing accounts of the depth to which the
bowels Of the earth have been pierced in
England {: The depth to which we mine
for coal is already great. The pit at
Ducken6eld, in Cheshire, is W thousand
and four feet below the surface to the point
where it intersects the Black Mine
Coal" a seam which is four feet six inches
thick, and Of the best quality for domestic
and manufacturing purposes ; from this
point q further depth Of Ave hundred feet
has been attained by means OF an engine
plain in the bed Of coal, so that q great
portion of the coal is now raised from the
enormous depth Of two thousand FIVE
hundred and four feet. At Pendleton.
neur Manchester, coal is daily worked
from q depth of two thousand one hun.
bred and twenty-five feet /; and the camel
coal, Of Wigan, is brought from one
thousand seven hundred and s~eventy-three
feet below the surface. Many Of the Dur
ham collierics are equally deep, and faI
more extended in their subterranean
labyrinths. Some OF those, and Others in
Cumberland, are worked out far under
the bed Of the sea !: and on both sides Of
the island we are rapidly extending our
subterranean burrowing. Dalcoath tin
mine, in Cornwall, is now working at one
thousand eight hundred feet from the sur
face, and is rapidly sinking deeper. The
depth OF Tresavean, a copper mine, is two
thousand one hundred and eighty feet.
Many others, tin and copper mines, are
approaching these depths ; and under the
atlantic waves, in Botallack, Levant, and
other mines, man is pursuing his labors
daily at half a mile from the shore.

Gold aud silver Fish-How 70 Keep
Them Alive.

Every one admires the tiny gold and silver
fish which form such beautiful adornments to
the parlor and conservatory. Our public are
indebted, for the supply Of this fish, to the
Sandwich and Japan Islands. D. n. Robin
son, who makes this feature Of the fish trade
a specially, has a full supply OIL hand, and, as
many are erroneous in their views as to their
care, we append the following extract from
the S%portsmen's Oracle and Gentlemen's
Newspaper" which may enable the admirers
Of these delicate specimens Of the fnny tribe
to preserve their pets:S
"The gold and silver fish are highly priced
by those who appreciate the beautiful. The
glass bowls, clear with crystal water, and
brilliant with the rich colors Of the bright
hued representatives Of the fnny tribe, con.
stitute an ornament for the parlor worthy Of
the admiration Of all. The silver forms q
striking and beautiful contrast with the gold.
The double refraction Of the glass and water,
when moving, represent them in q variety Of
shades and colors, as we'll rs 4 constant
change Of dimensions, and the eye does not
weary in gazing upon the picture. W. me.
diums operate, which assisted BY the concave-
convex shape Of the vessel, distort the fish
greatly, and present their many curious
shapes-sometines magnifed, and at others
reduced in size. Gold and silver fishes orig
inally came from China and Japan, but they
have become rcconciled to other climates,
and they now thrive in NEST parts Of Europe
and America. In every city we find the glass
bowls, in which the fish rest in a dreamy
state, or gracefully sport in the water, to the
delight OF the beholder. This species Of fish
was ranked by Linneus under the genus Of
cyprinus, or carp, the scientific name given
to il by him is cyprinu, G1atus. The idea
seems to prevail with some persons that
these fish need no ailment. This notion has
been adopted because they will subsist for a
long time without any apparent food, II the
water is kept pure by frequent changes.
They may seem to eat nothing, yet the ami.
malcula in the water furnishes them with
considerable n%ourishment. When small
crumbs Of bread are thrown to them, they
appear to deyour them with great eagerness.
This, alone, Is sufficient to COMPUTE the idea
that they flourish best with a kind Of jejune
diet. When fed on bread, the crumbs should
be cast into the water with 4 very sparing
hand, for otherwise, the bread may turn sour
and corrupt the fluid But these fsh are not
more partial TO bread than they are to the
water plant, bearing the scientific name OF
Lemnd. When the fish moves with the
greatest rapidity, It simply employs its strong
muscular tail as a propelling power. We
derive benefit ss we'll as crafty . desire
for the beautiful, BY observing fish 10 q bowl.
We are enabled to study them closely, and
thus learn many interes sting facts in relation
to their forms and habits"
