bales changing hands each day, whilst
prices still remain about the same as the

upon between seven and eight thousand,
which, sold at the present ruling figures,
will bring no small revenue with which to

munications of Hir Francis Head, which
have recently been published here, re-
specting the case of the ship Caroline

OF England's hostility to America is met
by the testimony of American officials.

Msssrs. Laird, of Birkenhead, who
built the Alabama, have recently pub
lished a letter giving legal opinions and
extracts from documents and speeches
to prove that the building of the Alaba-
ma was not illegal This letter has been

Standard says Laird's vindication con-
demns tho Government. The made
quacy of the law is insufficient excuse
for o breach of international obligations.
England's obligations were broken for
the North as well as. the South. The
Americans are equally guilty of breach
OF international obligations in the case
OF the Caroline and in the case of the
Fenian drillings and organizations. The
final reckoning will give heavy balance
to the debt of the United States.
