is that the press of this State has failed TO queue

Reverdv Johnsop on tho 10Th nit, swnnR his
flashing and majestic fork at the inaugural dinner,
in London, of the British Colonial Society. In re-
spouse TO a toast, Reverdy said: "At one time no.
lions we're entertained in this country that, under
the Constitution of the United States. there was
no authority whatever to enlarge the territorial
dominions which belonged to them. But those
doubts had long since been removed, and now the
opinion Of all Americans was that the government
of the United States had the power 10 and oy Con
eress. or by treaty to obtain territory anywhere,
whether contiguous or not. And 1t was possible
that some of the colonies which now fourished
under the dominion of her majesty, and were proud
of it, might, in process of time, find themselves
under the stars and stripes which adorned the flag
of the United States; and II there they came they
would soon find they belonged to country OF
which they and their children might have reason
10 be proud. But he trusted that day was far dis
tant. God forbid that any part OF her majesty
domnions should be curtaied."

The Alabama claims treaty was perempto-
rily rejected by the Senate, and the question
will now be kept open for further discussion,
which is just what the Radicals want They
hope to get up an excitement and agitation
against England on this point with view OF
strengthening their failing party. They may,
however, just as well understand now as later,
that they can expect nothing but compulsory
assistance from the South on this point. The
Alabama claims, as put forward by the United
States are absurd and insolent; and if Eng
land should refuse even to recognize them,
che would receive the moral support Of the
world.

E,op.me.t In Essll.h High Life.

The English and Irish papers of recent date

A most Extraordinary piece of scandal in high
life has lust come to light namely, the elopement
of the wife of Captain Vivian with the marquis OF
Waterford. The gallant captain is lord OF the
treasury and member of Parliament for Truro.
For some time past the lsdy's name has been

| her appearance, Captain Vivian proceeded to the
| Victoria station and there ascertsined that the
marquis of Waterford and Mrs. Vivian had, the
previous morning, taken tickets for Paris by way
| of Dover, accompanied by friend.

| soon found the object of bis search at well

KERNwooD, OR AFTER MANY DAYs.-Ahistori-

war; from the manuscript of Confederate spy.
Though we have not read Kernwood all the
way through, yet we have looked into it sufi-
GENTLY to be able to State that it ia tolerably
readable and very entertaining book. There ia in
it much that we suspect is autobiography, for the
authoress is known to have gone through just
such scenes as are here described. As web OF
romantic reality, prettily woven, Kernwood Will
be read with much interest. There are many
grammatical errors and some faults of style.
slight revision of the book would vastly improve
it, Still. as it is, the book will be much sppre'
ciated by those who followed the starry cross, as
a true chronicle of the deeds of daring and of
kindness of their greatest heroine while the gen.
eral public will read il for itself.
