that the sales of this article continue
at the former enormous figure. In

patient investigation of tho case Of
the St. L. u G. r. r. Co., versus
George Brandenburg, in which all
tho points of law, and fact were lug
ged in that could be suggested by
ingenious counsel. the..caso was final
ly submitted to the jury last CIV cning
who in very short time brought in
a verdict for the Railroad.
1t may be said for the Information
of parties abroad, that this was a suit
brought by the company to enforce
. the payment of subscription to the
stock af that road in which all the
questions have been raised and pass
edupon, that rccussants have lodged

SEVERE BATTLE NEAR PUERTO PRINCE.

SEVERE BATTLE NEAR PUERTO PRINCE.
NEW YORK, May 10.
The JY0rLdS Havana correspondent
SAYS that when a Government vessel
lately arrived there with load OF
wounded, the press were forbidden to
publish anv facts connected with the
event. 1t transpired, however, that
Gen. Lessea had a fight with the insur-
gents nine miles from Puerto Prince,
With a terrible result for them, al
though the column suffered the loss of
Lit. Colonel, Captain, six men kill
ed, and 80 wounded. Two hundred men
were wounded. A witness places the
insurgent loss at 200 men. Better in
formation, however, shows that the re.
suit twas far more terrible to the Span
iards than to the insurgents, and that
the Spaniards suffered greater defeat
than they have experienced since the
revolution began.
1t appears QuesadO and CASTILLO gath
cred i 900 of their best troops at Los
Menoes and entrenched. Gems. Leona
and Leseca came along with large
body of Spaniards and assaulted the
position. They would have carried 1t
but Tor the timely arrival or Laelas,
who unexpectedly attacked one of the
nanks of the Spaniards. Still the Span
iards would have won, but for battal-
lion of Havana colored volunteers turn
ing upon their officers and passing over
to the insurgents, aiding them eftectu-
ally in the struggle. The Spanish
troops then gave way. This was the
first attempt to use colored troops. The
volunteers covered the retreat Of the
Spaniards, but they were frequently
thrown into confusion and lost severe
lv. Many of the best and bravest of
the Spanish officers are reported killed
and wounded.
This correspondent also says there is
no truth in the reported convention of
reyolutionists at SenHca, at which reso-
lutions favoring annexation to the
United States were adopted. 1t is q
question whether a majority of the
revolutionists favor annexation.
Later dispatches say that the Spanish
in the battle quoted above lost nearly
all their provisions, wagons, baggage
train, &c, and part OF their artillery;
the Spuniards $500. The fight lasted
nearly seven hours,

MR., nEOTLEY'S INSTRUCTIONS.
The Presidents Opinions on the
Foreign Policy of the Senate.

l
Foreign Policy of the Senate.
WASHINGTON, May IS.
In regard to the Alabama Claims
Enuestion. and the &c. called instructions
given to Mr.. Motley, 1t has been ascer-
tained from very trustworthy sources
that there is no desire on the part OF the
President to reopen negotiations with
England. In his judgment the ques-
ton ought to be SET at rest as speedily
| as possible. But he maintains that 1t
is for the British government to say
whether they desire it to remain in lis
present shape.
eIn framing the instructions given to
| Mr., Motley, the President insisted that
this policy should predominant and pc
closely adhered to, but Secretary tlsn
| thought otherwise, and 1t was not until
the President evinced his determine
| tion to carry out his own ideas OF what
should be our foreign policy, that the
| Secretary yielded.
The President has also spoken his
mind pretty freely about the manner
in which foreign affairs are considered
bv the Senate, and in a way not at all
complimentary to that body. Leading
politicians who have either recently
been or are now here, likewise express
their opinions quite openly, and say
that considerable dissatisfaction exists
among the thinking men OF the coun-
|
during the next session of Congress to
so amend the Constitution as to re
strict their extraordinary powers in
ratifying treaties.
hThey say that at present nobody con-
| tests their Constitutional right to con-
slider and ratify treaties, but, neverthe-
less, it is perfectly apparent that the
Senate is drifting without any consist
ent political principles, and that their
| course is very often prompted by mere
caprice. If it was necessary, they say,
to ratify the Alaska purchase, that this
government might maintain its honor
with Russia on account OF the action OF
the Executive, then why not rat1Iy the
Sandwich Island treaty and the Danish
treaty, which were not even considered
| in due time.
It is well to know here that tho Eng
lish legation had, up to the day OF the
Alabama treaty, positive assurances
that it would be postponed until De-
cember. With these facts before them,
it is claimed that the rejection OF the
treaty was the effect of temporary ex-
element, and not the exhibition OF cool,
dispassionate statesmanship.
These matters have already been dis.
cussed among the members of General
Grants Cabinet, and are beginning to
attract attention among other public
men here.

Police War at New Orleans.
NEw ORLEANS. MAY l!

NEW OhLEANSI Mhy 4Os
Until last night the adjoining city of
Jefferson, though included in the Met
ropolitan police district, has refused to
accept the Metropolitan force, Offering
armed resistance 10 every attempt of
the Metropolitans to exercise the func-
tions of their officers. Last night the
Metropolitans of this city mustered to
the number OF 800 under captain, and
detailed to take charge Of the Jefferson
precinct, made a movement about 10
O'Clock on the municipal buildings
which were filled with armed citizens.
A small battle ensued. IL or IA of the
Metropolitans were wounded, 2 of whom
are thought dangerously. The police re-
tired, and Gov. Yarmouth called upon
Gen. Mower for troops. One company,
which was furnished this morning,
marched quietly to the municipal
buildings meeting with no opposition,
and installed the Metropolitans In pos
session. The citizens of Jefferson are
much excited, and the soldiers are still
on the ground. No demonstration was
made against the troops, though the
police force driven off was four times
as large as the body OF soldiers. No
citizens are known to be hurt, having
been protected by the market house
and police buildings. The municipal
elections are progressing quietly here
to-day.

Allegheny Cattle Market.
ALLEGHENY, May l9.

ALLEGHENY, May 10.
CATTLE-The supply of cattle on sale
Monday was considerably below that
OF last week, scarcely 700 head and
with a good local demand and some
little inquiry for shipment, the market
was even stronger than last week, and
in some instances prices shade high
er. Medium to good cattle brought a
slight advance, sold even better than
drovers expected. some of them claim
ing that they sold this grade of stock
at relatively better: prices than their
good cattle. Be this as 1t may, 1t was
conceded on all hands that the market
was better In all respects than last
week, that is for sellers, and prime to
extra cattle were held mp to and sold at
the highest notch. No. l fat, smooth
steers sold at SAaS7c; prime at 7Aa8c.
and good at 7a7Hc. Stock steers sold
at 5Xa616c, as to quality and condition.
SHEBP-There was an unusually
large number OF sheep on sale, 300
head, and with only a moderate local
demand, and no inquiry for shipment,
the market was very dull one, and
nrices, generally compared with last
week, ruled lower. Clipping time pc
ins nearly over, there is more DISPOSE
ton manifested to sell in the country,
though it 10 claimed by dealers that
farmers are still asking too much, and
that this class of stock must either go
lower in the country or higher here.
No. l clipped sheep sold up to 6Na6 Hc,
but the great proportion of the sheep
on sale were of low grade and sold at
from Base, and we can report a sale OF
100 scalaWags at 75c per head,
Hoas.-The demand continues light
and the market is dull, while prices
are without quotable change. Sales in
a retail way at 10a11c gross for good to
prime to heavy averages, and 11Na11hc
for extra do.
