A QUEER CASE.

The Police Court, at Kingston, Can
ada, had a queer case before it the other
day. John Newman was charged with
assisting soldier of the Royal Artillery
to desert, by boxing him up in large
case and conveying him to Cape Vincent
by the steamer WatertOwn, and Isabella
Hurst was charged with aiding him. Ii
appeared that the box containing the
man was carted to the What, and care
fully deposited upon the boat as crock
ery-ware and glass, and directed TO M
E. Fox, st. Lawrence Hotel, Cape Vim
cent, New York. The box was con-
yeyed TO its destination, accompanied by
the prisoner, and carefully deposited
upon the wharf there, and when opened
by the direction Of the custom house OF,
iicers, a live artilleryman got out sOme-
what cramped by his confined position
and rather red in the face, but none the
worse for his temporary boxing. New
man was sent up for six months, the full
penalty Of the law, and the woman dis
charged. ........ ..rs ..-.t

Prospects Of Religions Freedom la

NEW YORK, June 8.-The Heralds
special LondOp, June 8, says: The am
nouncemeht of the pfedeterrnination OF
the majority Of the House of Lords TO re-
jeet the Irish Church bill causes INTENSE
excitement which threatens to precipitate,
eventually, an inevitable conflict between
Lords and Commons. II is rumored in
some quarters that the announcement is TO
feel the public pulse and learn how far the
House of Lords dare 70. ii is The
general impression that The bill will be
thrown out on the second reading.
The Liberties of England" Cant
Stand Freedom Of Conscience.
The Standard (Tory) agitates the peril Of
the proposed action IA too obvious TO be
Ignored even by the least thoughtful or
conscientious of the hereditary Legislators,
bun says that the Lords have resolved in
compliance with the urgent demands Of
thousands in every part of the country to
rick all in the contest with the impious
minister and overbearing majority in the
Commons Should they be crushed in the
struggle, not only will the Church aud the
constitution fall with them, bot the liber-
ties Of England will be sacrificed 10 the
aseendency of the democratic principles
which are most dangerous TO personal
and political freedom.
A Liberal COunterbIast.
The Star, in christening language, says
that the Irish Church must not cumber
the ground after December, and that the
least said On that subject will be pro-
claimed FROM the house-tops. The House
ofLords is not more logical, desirable or
inexcusable institution than the Irish
Church, and the fever-heat that will follow
the rejection OF the bill will generate hate
to the Church such AZ has not been
seen since the people of Birmingham
threatened to march on London in the
name of reform; and cries will be heard
calling for the downfall Of an absolute
chamber that no longer DISCUSSES its
auarchism Of existence by hereditary de-
scent.
No Line Of Retreat Left Open.
The Times says on the eve ofthe coming
crisis. Nothing since the throes which pre-
coded the passage of the reform bill can be
compared to the consequence which will at
tend the threatened conduct of the people,
and the result Of the struggle is not at all
doubtful. Ii the Lords succeeded at first
they would be compelled to undergo q
second tender Of the measures already re.
| jeeted. The first results Of this action will
touch all interests and jeopardize not only
themselves and their privileges, but also
the peace Of the great towns and the msin-
tebance of law and order throughout the
country. Outside Of the common of the pub.
lie press, the people generally talk in s

ALABAMA SENATORS QUARkELING
OVER THE SPOILs. al4

Correspondence of the New YORK Herald.
WAsHINGToN, June 1.-The two Ala
balna Senators have had slight unpleasN
antness about the losves and fishes in
their State. Spencer was after the col
lectOrship Of Mobile for a particular
friend, and Warner had an eye to the
identical position for political retainer.
The consequence was a dead lock.
Grant knew not what to do, and Boutwell,
and Delano were botheredwhich ofthe two
senatorial magnates should be appeased.
at length, it is said, the difficulty was ad-
Justed by an agreement that Warner
should get the cOilectorship, while Spen-
Ger should be accorded the postmaster
ship of Mobile. The first part of the agree
ment was promptly put in force and
Warmers friend appointed; but when it
came to arranging the postmastership a
hitch occurred. Warner claimed that
post also, and Creswell, it is said, yielded
to his demands; thereupon Spencer went
to the White House to raise rev about
the alleged breach OF agreement. He
had talk with Grant, and it is said,
hauled Ulysses over the Goals
very warmly. He next went
to the postofiice department
and pitched into the jolly Cres-
well, the result being that Creswell con-
sehted to give the postmastership to
Spencer instead Of Warner. But Just
as this result was reached Warner
happened to drop in and interrupt. the
interview, and hearing of what had Oc-
CURED Warner demanded that the APP
pOintment should be changed. Spencer
interpOsed lively objections Questions
and answers Of unpleasant character
were exchanged between. the Senators,
and for time appeared a very cheering
prospect of row. 1t stopped short Of
blows, however, and the Senator'S have
since had chance to cool off.

The New York Tribune OF the % inst.
says:
ave have special and creditable adj
vices that, by means of seven or eight
expeditions which have within few
months left New York and Philadelphia,
the Cubans have received large and
somewhat surprising quantities Of arms
and munitions of war. The Cuban au.
thOrities here and in Washington have,
as we are informed, been necessarily
active, and the result OF their efforts is
seen in the animated hopes and renewed
spirits Of the patriots in the field. On
the strength of the recent help given to
their cause, or promised them at no late
day, the campaign Of Gen. Quesada is
believed to have assumed q new aspect,
in proof of which are series Of successes
lately achieved for Cuba at Las Tunas.
