HuDsoN's BAY TERRIToRY.-The announce
ment has been made in the House of Lords
that the Hudson's Bay Company had agreed
to cede its territorial rights in British North
America to the Crown. The territory will
henceforth be united with the Dominion of
Canada, which now will embrace nearly the
whole of British North America, and us the
Legislatures of British Columbia and New
foundiand have declared in favor of union,
may soon comprise the whole. The transfer
of the Hudson's Bay territory to the dominion
of Canada will considerably affect the relative
position of the latter among the countries of
the world British North America, when uni
ted, will be, in point of area, the fifth country
Of the universe, being only exceeded by the
Russian Empire, the Chinese Empire, the re-
mainder of the British Empire, and the Uni
ted States. In point of population, it is as yet
only the 2sth among the political divisions of
the world.

THE IDEAL WoMAN.-4l conceive the ideal

whom the affections sway the intellect BY ever
so little, impresses us as woman; is awoman,

Ross and the President.

The HeraItPS Washington special gives
the following account of an alleged in-
tcryiew hetwcon Senator Ross and Prcsir

had the first chance to speak to the
President, aud said: ......' ',.,..t, ...

! Senator Ross liked the second answe:
us little as the first, but having come for

!. "What, sir, You scorn to accOmmodate
me in the least?" exclaimed Ross, boiling
over with rage. ''''

Ross took his departure accordingly,
in a terrible rage, quitting the White

and hurried to :he Capitol. President

moment, the door closed, aud wiped his
brow with pocket handkerchief, evil

SENATOR SUMNER on THE ALABAMA
TREATY.-The Senate considered the
Alabama treaty on the 18th. Mr.. Sum
ner delivered a most carefully prepared
argument which occupied over two hours
in delivery. All the Senators were pres
ent, and the utmost attention was given
TO very able exposition of the question
involved. 1t is regarded by every one
who heard it as the most nasterly and
luminous statement of international law,
bearing on the recognition Of belligerency,
ever made III the Senate. At the close
number Of Senators briefly expressed
their views. Mr.. Fessenden fully en-.
dorsed Mr, Sumucr's argument. Senator
Sherman pronounced The argument as
honorable to the orator, and properly re-
hccting the NATIONAL feelings. Mr.. Thur
man declared that the Senator from Mas
sachusetts deserved the thanks of the
country, and that he had instructed him.
on the question at issue. Nlessrs. Gas
serly and Stockton expressed their APP
provaL Garrett Davis desired to have
the vote postponed one day, TO enable
him to examine the subject more closely,
but also indor ed the general views Of
the Massachusetts Senator. When the
vote was taken, Mr. McCrccry, of Ken
lucky, was the only one recorded in f;i-
vor ofthe treaty. Mr.. Davis did not
vote Those against the treaty number
tifty-four Immediately after the rcjec-
ton of the treaty, a motion was made to
give publicity to the proceedings. 1t
was adopted without dissent, only so far
as relates to Mr. Summers speech.
Mr. Sumner reported on Mr. Motlcy's
name and that gentleman was unanim-
ousl y confirmed. The record is consider
ed a significant one for Great Britain.
1t is also significant that the treaty was
rejected on the anniversary of the attack
oil Fort Sumpter.
