Fditnrs Of the Register (:


Permit me to correct mistake which
no doubt through some misspprehen-
sion on the part of Rev. j. Welker, was
published in yeur paper to-day; the mis-
take, namely, that / collected in my
congregation 5000 for our orphans in
Rochester and Zelianople. The truth
is, that | called upon the kind mer-
chants ofthis goodly city, and solicited
donations in the shape of dry goods,
hardware, &c., for the Orphans Home.
My efforts were crowned with abundant
success; but all the donations received
are still in my possession. They will be
shipped next week to the place of their
destination, and you, dear editors, will
then be requested to publish the re-
ceipt of them by the orphans.
Gratefully yours,
I. G. II. LAMPE,
Pastor 1st Ger. Luth. Church.

MARCH IL, 1869,

WASHINGTON HALL.-Au enthusiastic
audience greeted Mr.. Keeno last night.
Manifestations of delight were written
upon the faces of all present, and they
give vent to their feelings in shouts of
applause. Mr.. Keene'S rendition Of
"Joe," nobody's son, was perfect, and
kept the audience in continuous roar
of laughter.
Tonight Misses Imogene Eberle and
Ida Raymond have benefit. The bill
for this occasion is splendid one, and
we are sure the young ladies will do
justice to the characters which they as
sumo. paul Pry" and Jack Shep-
pard," the plays for tonight, are good
in themselves, and rendered by Sefton's
dramatic troupe, will make them doubly
so. We hope to see the hall crowded
this evening, for the benefit of these
young ladies, for they have made many
admirers by their good acting, since
their short sojourn in our city, and will
in all probability add many more to the
list by their superior acting tonight.

PARIS, March 1.-THE following suggestions
are an extract from the correspondence of the
NoWOedu Monde, in re eerence 10 the settlement
Of the Alabama clalms:-
Here Is, perhaps, way by means of which
President Grant could, vi hout loss to the
national honor, get out from the humiliating
position in which his country has been placed
in consequence oil Mr.. Seward's blunders. 1t
would be to select the Emperor of the French
as umpire in the settlement of the Alabama
claims. We are morally certain OF the opinion
OF the French Government ou that question,
and that opinen we know TO be favorable to
the United States. We are not less certain that
a note to Lord Clarendon tau intimate friend
OF the EmperoD or to Mr.. Gladstone, whose
policy on every kind OF subjects is as much
French as 1t IS English, would settle that ques-
tiOn in twenty loHr hours. In this manner the
honor OF the United States would be saved, for
there IS no doubt lin our eskimation) that, IN
tloduced under such an Influence, the PROPOSE
lion OF the French GoveI3ment to offer au
honorable reparatlon to 1he United States
Would pe accepted by the Eft!sh Cabinet. THIS
once done, the question OF pecunlary compensa
ZION would naturally follow the recognition
wrong done unintention0lly, perhaps, bl
neyertheless done to the great American Re
public.
PARIS, March 1.-THE Noaheur contains the
following opinion respecting The annexation OF
Belgium aud OF the Rhine to Frauce:-"Tbe
truth, fays that paper, SIS that, owing to the
state OF our commercial aud International inter
course between Belgium and the left bank of the
Rhine, they must infallibly annex themselves
's'ddtotndre' 10 France. All these countries
graviiate In the orbit of France, aud their
agelomeration on the left bank of the Rhine
raised against French ambition by the uneasi,
ness and jealousy OF torei 70 powers, has no
longer any cause of existence. There is no need
of a neural Belgium between a friendly France
and q fTlendly Germany, and this is why In our
opinion, Belgium must soon cease TO exist.n
