NKw YoRK, June 1.-The HerGlGsI
Liverpool special says that in the inter.
view between the American and Liver
pool Chambers Of Commerce, the former
presented an address congratulating the
Minister on bis nomination and his safe
arrival, and expressing the desire that
friendly relations might continue 10 be
maintained between the two countries.
The address concludes by Offering the
services Of the Chamber whenever they
can be useful. Mr.. Motley replied as
telegIaphed last night. The address from
the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce
was then presented, which expressed the
deep interest the members felt in the
United States and the maintenance Of
cordial relations between the two govern
ments They trust that sentiments Of
moderation and justice wonld animate all
their dealings, and that all questions will
be solved in accordance with their mutual
interests. They furthermore alluded to
the removal Of the last vestige Of English
protective policy, and expressed the hope
that Mr.. Motley would beiustrumental in
bringing about reciprocal free trade in
America. To this Mr.. Motley repeated
his sentiments formerly expressed, and
furthermore stated that, although the
American nation was animated by an
earnest hope aud desire for peace, based
upon justice. ii has dispassionate regard
for it's honor and interests in it's dealings
with other countries. While she has an
earnest desire for an extension Of COM
merce, the Government at Washington
could not 60 beyond its functions, the
fiscal arrangements of America being in
the hands Of the Congress.

Both the Old and New School Assem-
blies Of the Presbyterian Church pro
nounce the severest Judgments against
those guilty Of the abominabls crime Of
fetal murder, in the following resolu.
tons: ,r,,is0
WHEREAS, 1t is we'll known that un-
scriptural views Of the marriage relation
are becoming prevalent in some parts OF
our land, so that the obligations OF hus-
band and wife and divorces for slight and
unwarrantable reasons are becoming
more frequent every year; and whereas,
the horrible crime of infanticide is also
on the increase; therefore
Resolped, That we urge upon all the
ministers of our Church, the duty of Civ
ing instruction to the people of their re-
spective charges as to the scriptural doc
trine concerning the marriage relation,
and that we warn them against joining
in wedloek any who may have been d.
vorced upon other than scriptural
grounds; and that we also exhort church
sessions to the exercise of due discipline
n the cases of those members who may
lie guilty of violating the law of Christ
in this particular. 49, -.
Resolred, That we regard the destruc-
ton by parents of their own offspring
before birth as q crime against God and
against nature, and that as there are
many influences at work in public and in
secret to corrupt the minds of the people,
until the frequency of such murders is no
longer sought to be concealed, we hereby
warn those who are guilty of these
crimes that they canhot inherit eternal
life, and that it ia vile hypocrisy for such
persons to remain in communion with
the visible Church Of Christ; and that we
exhort those who have been called to
preach the Gospel, and all those who
love piety and the truth, and who would
arrest the just judgments of the Almighty
God upon the State and nation, that they
be no longer silent or tolerant of these
things, but that they take a bold stand,
that the food of impurity and cruelty
may be stayed. f1n .f0a'taf

Governor Ashley has commenced hi
official serv zee BY appointing Beun,
Speyer, Esq Commissioner Of Immi
Rratiop. and h,w addressed him letter
giving an account Of his territory, which
we condense as 70 lows:
Montana was organized by Congress
in May, 1864. and is bounded on thu
north by British America, on the soutt
and west by the Bitter Root and Rocky
Mountains, and on the east by the TWEEN
ty-seventh degree westward from Wash
| ington City. Its area is 1876 square
miles, being four times that of Ohio and
eighteen times that of Massachusetts,
Congress, in organizing it, gave 1t for the
support Of schools over 5000, 900 acres
of public lands-which exceeds the entire
area of Rhode Island, Connecticut and
Delaware.
Gold was first discovered in what is
now Montana in the fall of 1852; and
some four or FIVE thousand miners and
others rushed thither within the next few
months. Governor Ashley estimates the
present population at Il, 600, and expects
It to be swelled this year to 100000 We
presume that the census of 1870 will show
that it has more than that number. The
winter on this side of the Rocky Noun
tains is like that of New Jersey, Penn.
sylvania and Ohio west Of the main
ridge it is milder. The summers are
cooler than ours. Cattle winter unfed
almost anywhere The soil ofthe valleys
is rich, and easily titled. The atmos-
phere east of the mountains is dry, and
irrigation of the table lands is required.
The climate is very healthy.
The mountains, save where they rise
above the line OF vegetation, are covered
with pine, cedar, and other valuable tim
Der. Montana is probably the best tim
bered of all our Territories save Washing
ton. The scenery is magnificent. The
valleys of the Madison, Jefferson, Gala
tin, and other sfiuents of the Missouri,
are very fertile; the opposite valleys Of
the streams which unite to form the
Columbia are less so. The former are
excellent for wheat, rye and oats, az well
as for grass. The City of Helena, founded
in 1865, has now IA 900 inhabitants, with
three daily papers. s9 80
The Northern Pacific railroad, begin
ming ut the southwest point of Lake
Superior, will pass directly through this
Territory, and traverse q splendid farm
ing country. 1t will be ia good part con-
s,ructed within the next FIVE years. After
crossing the Rocky Mountains, it's route
to the Pacific ocean lies through dense
growth of heavy timber, mainly pine,
cedar, hemlock and cottonwood. The
SHOWS here are far lighter than on the
Central route. Fifty steamboats, reached
Fort Benton last spring, with an average
of two hundred and forty tons of mer-
chandise each, and large parties of

Governor Ashley estimates the gold
and silver mined in this Territory since
1864 at $50, 600, 900. The Surveyor Cen
eral estimates the yield of gold only the |
year at 500, 600. 900. Some Of the |
placers have proved exceedingly produc- |
tive, and the veins promise as bounteous
a yield. Copper, iron, coal and salt have |
also been found in abundance, though
they have received little attention as yet.

The New Empire.

From the New YORK lmpefiAnsLI
That our movement is in no sense sec
tiopal is as true as that it follows in the
wake of no political party. II is this
truth we would impress strongly on the
| minds of our readers at the South, who
have already learned to consider this
journal as the prophecy of deliyerance
from what Is to them an ignoble and de.
basing servitude to the will OF reyengefpl
and ungenerons power. But there are
still some who doubt that the South will
be granted her true position in the re-
organic alton and reconstruction ef the
nation and country. A Southern ex-
change says.
"The South. Aye, the South Is
there any hope for her in this strange
movement There are some millions
here whose love the present government
has not courted they have shown some
traits in war that an autocrRt might value.
They are well disciplined in submission,
too. Who bids Or may the prosecuted
South 60 her way in peace when the
struggle comes2
mo, the South will get no bid. The
movers in this interest are not her friends.
American Imperialism is the full fruition
of Radicalism. A pot-house harlot clad
in ermine. A nickel crown and a paper
collar I"
In reply to this we would say You mis-
understand us, whether wiliully or
through ignorance is best known to your
SELF The South has but little love for
the present government, nor have the
events of the past few years been calcu-
lated to foster an affection that had out a
feeble life at best. Under the new En-
pire the strife and contention Of past
times will be forgotten, and the nation
may once more unite in supporting a
strong central power that shall extend
its protection alike to the South and the
North, the West and the East. Sectional
differences can no longer exist, for a
common cause will demand the support
of the people. No arrogant Congress
can then exclude whom it will from rep
reseulation in the councils of the nation,
or force on the unwilling acceptance Of
o free people the causes of social disor-
ganization in the compulsory recogni-
ton of an equality Of races that does
not, cannot, and should not exist. +" The
Empire is Peace" and if the unhappy
people of the South enjoy the blessings
that can only follow such peace as the
Empire can give them, let them heartily
unite with their friends at the North, the
East, and the West, in overihrowing
forever, our present mockery Of govern
ment, and in establishing in lie place the
firm aud intelligent central authority thai
can alone secure 10 us our rights as in
dividuals and our liberty as a people.

"a Rebel sympathixer.,

The London Star of May 18th pub
lishes letter from W. j. Lindsay, who in
the House of Commons moved the recog-
milton of the Southern Confedsraoy. His
object is 10 show that the Ministry and
Ministerial party had no sympathy with
his motion. he says with regard to this
point: >r.
can most conscientiously state that,
so far as regards my offensive" acts,
the Government was no party To them.
On the contrary, when my motion ap-
peared was urged by various members
Of the administration to withdraw it, in
case its appearance on the paper of the
Honse might glye ofense to the North, or
induce the South to prolong the war,
under the impression that England was
about to recognize their independence.
Nor did receive the slightest encourage
ment from any of the leading members
Of the Opposition; and ! am conYirped
that, had I submitted my motion for the
consideration Of the Commons, should
not have secured the votes Of fifty oHt OF
its six hundred and fifty Members, nor
perhaps half that number. Therefore !
took no action upon it. cannot sup-
pose that any other independent member
would have had any better success, for
when Mr.. R0ebuck afterwsrd submitted
a similar motion 1t was received with SO
little favor that he did not attempt divi-
sion. Ga all sides, and especially on the
part Of the Govern ment, there was de
termination not to interfere between the
eonteuding psrties, or take any steps
likely to offend either Of the belligerents.
In the face of such facts as these Mr..
Sumner is surely not justified in charging
this country with hostile feelings toward
the United States. IL he is, what will
Spain say to the adoption by Congress oil
Mr.. Banks motion 10 favor of the recog-
milton of the rebels Of Cuba, who have
no form of Government and no army,
