WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.
The President replied to-day to the reso-
lntion Of Representative Robinson, Of New
York, calling for the correspondence be-
tween the Government Of Great Britain and
the United States relative to Castillo and
Warren, naturalzed citizens Of the United
States now imprisoned in Great Bsitaiu,
having been convicted oftreason and felony.
Minister johnson encloses letter from Cas-
iillo, dated Chatham Prison, in relation to
his condition. Mr.. Johnsoa replied on the
4th Of Nov. and stated he ehould not fail to
send it to Washington as requested.
Mr.. johnson does not offer any remarks
on this and similar cases, as official copies of
the trials Of Warren, Halpine, CASTILLO and
McCsffrey, that have recently reached him.
He trusted soon TO be able to send Secretary
Seward brief but faithful summary Of them
with some observations on each correspond
ence with Lord Stanley aud others enclosed,
which has heretofore been published. No
additional documents are transmitted giving
new official facts on the subject.
The President to-day sent to the Senate the
nomination of Thomas s. Wilson, of Cali
fornia, to be Consul at Copenhagen.
A Washington special says: Gen. Grant

The Secretary Of the Interior in reply to
the resolution Of the Senate, states that the
quantity of lands certified to States, territories

A Haytien letter Of the 18th says the pick

they took it.
Demands from Mr.. Seward had been re-
ceived for an explanation in regard to gun.

1t IS stated that the almost universal indi.
vidual sentiment Of Congress is opposed to
the ratification of the protocol of the Ala.

now exists, and there can be no doubt this
feeling will find legislative expression when
the time comes, and there will be no concur

English counter claims to our demands are
The few stray words Of Gen.
Grant few days ago, that it was not mere
question Of dollars and cents for q few ships
burned, but question Of the destruction Of
our commerce, met with hearty approval
everywhere, so that the fate Of the pending
protocol may be regarded as sealed. 1t is
generally felt that Mr.. Reverdy johnson has
been somewhat overreached in the whole
transaction, and ths Senate will never submit
to q settlement Of the Alabama business on
the proposed basis.
Investigations by revenue officials here
show that the wealthy trustees of churches
up town have used the money set apart for
religious purposes in investments in stock
through their favorite bankers. One Of the
revenue officers estimates that at Il : three
millions of church funds is thus invested,
while the names of the real capitalists never
appear in public. A Baptist Clergyman is
known to have speculated largely 10 stocks,
and he spends much of his time among bro
kers. 1t is said that number Of churches
have been mortgaged for tha purpose Of OBJ
tanning money to be used in stock speculA
tions.

FROM ST. LOUIS.

ST.. LOUIS, Feb. 2
Several gentlemen connected with the
Pacific, Iron Mountain and North Missouri
Railroads, met yesterday to devise means by
which the tracks Of the various roads can be
connected with the large elevator on the bank
Of the river. The Committee will meet again
to-day and decide upon same plan.
The object is to connect all these roads
with the elevator so as to encourage the
handling Of grain in bulk from all the wheat
growing sections in the State and concentrate
it at St. Louis. The Chicago l. St. Louis
Railroad will all also have connection with
the elevator as soon as the arrangement for
the transfer of laden cars across the river is
perfected, which will be as soon as the ne
cessary track can be laid from the present
road bed to the river bank opposite Bissers s
Point, three miles above the city.

ExTRAORDHNARY SYMPATHY.

Here Is something Says Millington's
Medical Experience), that will please the
ladies and astonish the men:-The sin
oular svmpathies that forewarn a future
union between the sexes, have, in some
instances. been most surprising. The
following, which came within my knowl-
edge, is perhaps one Of the most singular:
Mr.. -, brother officer of mine, was
a man of taeitum and retired habits, sell
dom frequented public places Of amuse-
ment, and when there, felt anything but
qualification. One evening after supper,
he was, however, prevailed upon to go to
a ball. We had not been long in the
room when, to my utter surprise, he ex-
pressed great admiration of young lady
who was dancing; and, what still more
amazed US, he engaged her to dance.
Such an act of apparent levity on his
part, struck us as a singularity, which
might have been attributed to an unusual
indulgence at table, had not the contrary
been the case, for he was remarkably abb
stemious The dance was scarcely over
when he came to me, with a look of deep
dependency, that his lovely partner was
a married woman. The tone of sadness
in which he addressed me was truly ludi-
crous. A few minutes after he left the
ballroom The strangeness of his con-
duct led me to fear that his mind was not
altogether in a sound state; but | was
confirmed in my apprehension when he
told me, the following morning, that he
was convinced he should be married to
the object of his admiration, whose hus-
band was a young and healthy clergy
man in the neighborhood. Here matters
rested, and we both went abroad. We
did not meet until three years after, when,
to my surprise, found that his predic-
ton had been verified. The lady's hus-
band had died from fall from his horse,
and the parties were married. But, what
rendered this circumstance still more
strange is, that similar presentiment
was experienced by the young lady, who
on returning from the ball, mentioned to
her sister, with much emotion, that she
had danced with stranger to whom she
felt convinced that she was destined to be
married The conviction embittered
every moment of her life, as, despite of
her most strenuous endeavors, she could
not dismiss the stranger from her constant
thoughts, reluctantly yielding to the hope
of seeing him again

THE SPIDER.-One of the most singu-
lar facts in relation to this insect, is that
it casts its skin once every year. In or
der to effect this, it forms, in one corner
of the web, kind of thick purse, SINH
lar to that in which it used to enclose its
eggs. Placing itself then in the centre
of its web, it begins to distend its body
with all the violence it can exert, for
several minutes, until it splits its skin the
whole length of the back This being
accomplished it gradually forces its body
through the aperture, drawing out its
legs one by one, until it is entirely free
from its covering. The exuvia retain
the entire form of the spider, and are
perfectly transparent. The insect itself,
after this great change, remains quite
gelatinous, and is of pale green color.
In this condition it retires to the afore-
mentioned purse or bag, leaving the skin
suspended in the web. This shelter it is
not able to quit for about three or four
days. History of Insects

How TO MEASURE FOR SOCKs.-I
went into shop the other day to buy
what the draper calls gents hose" A
smiling young lady was behind the coun-
ter; and when / had made an appeal to
her to show me some socks, l was some
what doubtful what course of action 1
ought to pursue in order to demonstrate
to her the length of my foot. As am
not a burlesque writer, it was clear that |
could not lay my boot on the counter and
say with all my sole;" nor could l
paraphrase Dibdin's Jack Tar, when he
spoke of the dancer who $50 daintily
handled her feet" The little woman,
however, speedily removed my first per-
plexity; though only to plunge me into
another. "Will you, said she, "please
to double up your fist and lay it ON the
COUNTER" | replied that l did not want
gloves, but socks. ''And | want to take
your measure, she said ''But," l urged
lit is the measure of my foot that you
require" ''Yes," she replied, "and |
can get it equally as well from your hand
Once round your clenched fist, at the
knuckles, is the length of your foot" And
she took the measure of my fist, and |
took the socks on the faith of the dam
sells representation; and, in due course,
l found that she was quite right, and had
fitted me to nicely.
