THE ALABAMA CLAIMs.-Hhdcd, May 49,.
Professor Goodwin Smith, to whom Senator
Sumner alluded in his recent speech on
Rcverdy Johnson's treaty, delivered re-
ply to that speech this evening before the
members of Cornell University and crowd
ed assembly of citizens, among whom were
several distinguished men from different
parts of the country. Mr.. Smith promised
that he spoke both as an Englishman still
loyal to his country, and also us one hoping
to make his home for many years in Ame-
RIGA.
He briefly reviewed the relations between
the United States and England during the
late war, and then analysed Senator sum-
ner'S speech, argument by argument. lie
denied that England in any way had acted
in bad faith, and asserted that the Palmer
ston Government, like the Gladstone Go
vcrnment, was only anxious to do justice to
this country. England was willing to let
Canada go when it pleased.
Everybody in Great Britain would con-
slider the loss Of the West India islands Il
gain, and he, if it could he proved that Ire
land would be happier disllnited from Eng
land, would vote for her independence. But
no EngIislman would ever consent to re-
linolli>n any of those countries rs IN cqul-
yalent for such claims as those set up by
Sumner.
Senator Sumner had not treated England
Justly. He omitted to state that England
rejected the offer Of France to join i'll politl-
cal recognition of the Contederacy. This
was done to offset the escape of the Ala
hama. Mr. Sumner throughout was lntlu-
cnced by his hatred of slavery, and lugged
into every political speech his rancor against
that dead institution.
His taunts against England have struck a
strong blow at the very men who, like
Bright and others, hu1c always opposed
slavery and been the warmcst friends OF the
Union. They would feel its effect, while
the Tory party, the enemies of America,
would be encouraged. He closed with q
warm appeal for justice and peace, amid
earnest applause.

count of Charlotte Bronte from which we
take the following extr act:
The account of the school in "Jane Eyre
is only too true. The Helen" OF tha' s s,S
is-not precisely the eldest sistet VINO uleu
there, but more like her than any reai pei :,
son. She is that sister ''with uliieIeace.

halt from the gnaWng sensation, or conse-
quent icebieness, OF downright hunger; and
she never grew an inch from that time. She
was the smallest of women: and il was that
school which stunted her growth.
Jane Eyre" was naturally and universally
supposed TO be Charlotte herself; but she al
ways denied 1T, calmly, cheertully, and with
the OBVIOUS necessity which characterized all
sue said. She declared that there was nc
more ground Tor the assertion than this: She
once told her sisters that they we're wrong
even morally wrong-in making their hero

repiled that it was impossible to make hero
inc interesting on other terms. Her answer

as small and as plain as myself who
shall be as interesting as any of yours
Hence Jane Eyre" said she, in telling the
snecdote; but she is not myself, any further
than that" AS the work went on, the inter.
est deepened to the writer. When she came
to 'Thornfield," she could not stop. Being
short-siShted to excess, she wrote in little
square paper books, held close to her eyes
and 1.-THE first copy in pencil. On she went
writing necessarily for three weeks; by which
time she had carried her heroine away from

THE LEGAL POTATO HoLE.-Near the be-
ginning of the present century, farmer, OF
broken fortune, came into Westerly and hir-
ed certain lands for cultivation, giving pro-
portion Of the products for the use of the
lands. He planted potatoes and
secured an unusual crop. Not having
store room of his own, he obtained
consent OF landholder and deposited his
share OF the potatoes in what the farmers
call potato hole, that is, an excavation
in the earth into which The potatoes were
placed and covered with straw and earth in
the form of pyramid. On going out of the
town into Connecticut, one of his creditors
seized the opportunity, procured writ and
attached the "potato hole," whereupon an
other creditor, who was studying how to Sc
cure his dues, consulted with John Gross,
Esq, and enquired what could be done.
Tie shrewdness of the legal professor at
once suggested an open door. Mr.. Cross made
the proposition and proceeded to carry it in
to effect. A writ was issued by which an at
tachement was made, not upon the "potato
hole" put upon the potatoes" in the ''potato
mole, specifying that the "potato hole" should
De lett upon the land where it was found.
The plan was success. aud the first creditor
came upon the stage only to find few potatoes
