could not take cognisance Of the preliminary
question Of jurisdiction.
To the honor OF the English press It may be
said that it was some time in reaching the
standpoint Of the Saturday Rerieso. During
the following week the Times had articles
nearly every day, none Of which showed a
purpose Of removing the subject from the
jurisdiction Of the Geneva Tribunal. The
Spectator of the following Saturday (the 18TH
returned to the subject. 1t could scarcely ind
language strong enough to express ito objec-
ton to the claims. but, 1t added, ''the jurists
assembled at Geneva will certainly not forget
the tendency Of such absurd claims to render
international arbitration of this kind altogether
hopeless and imperative in future" Still,
England was to be protected at Geneva, not by
her own act.
The Spectator Of the Goth had another long
article entitled. ''The Appearance Of Sharp
Practice in the American Case" in which, with
the expression Of much Ill temper, 1t at
tempted to show that by proper construction
of the treaty consequential damages ought not
to be allowed at Geneva but it had not then
made up its mind that this was question for
Great Britain to determine rather than the
arbitrators. ,N
During the following week the excitement
continued to increase In England as the open
ing Of Parliament approached; but 1t does not
appear that the press was even then seriously
considering the forcing the Ministers to act in
the direction Of taking the question out Of the
jurisdiction of the tribunal.
On the 2Sth of January Sunday the Oh
seruer, usually careful journal, said -" 1t
is better we should say openly and distinctly
that we hold ourselves responsible for the
direct damages caused by certain particular
vessels, but we repudiate all pecuniary liza
bility for the indirect consequences of our ma
tional policy"
The cue thus given was taken up by the
press with great unanimity, and has become
substantially the position of England.
It will thus be observed that the press, with
the exception of an angry diatribs in the Sat-
In finding out that the claim for indirect dam
ages were not admissible; and it was six days
later that Lord Granville and the Ministry,
with the fear of Mr.. Dsraeli before them, fol-
lowing in the wake Of an excited press, wrote
their note to General Schenck. 1t was some
days later still that Mr.. Gladstone, again
goaded by Mr.. Disrael, made the speech which
required two explanations on two successive
nights on the floor Of the House, to say nothing
of subsequent letter to the correspondent of
New York journal.

THE ANeLo-FRENoH COMMERCIAL TREATY
Lord Lyons, British Minister at Versailles,
has notified President Theirs that the English
government cannot modify its customs duties
charges on French commodities imported into
the kingdom during the year the commercial
treaty between the countries remains in force.
This means that Great Britain will maintain
the Cobden-B onaparte treaty intact until the
moment Of Its expiration by its own llmita-
ton, next year, and thus throw the onus Of
deciding between free trade and tariff tax
protection on Theirs or his successors. The
French Parliament is willing to modify the
scale of customs rates, as will be seen by the
legislative statement which we publish In the
HERALD to-day; but England appears to be
disposed to adhere firmly to the principle
which has benefited her own manufacturers,
without any great care for the peculiar posi-
ton Of her French neighbors.

MEXICAN WARFARE is forcibly illustrated
by our special despatch from Matamoros re-
porting that the revolutionary General Ire
vino, who was 50 badly defeated by, the
government troops near Zacatecas, has set
about repairing his bad fortunes by prestamos,
In the accustomed manner. This operation is
safer and pays better than fighting, and is,
therefore, more cougenial to his heroic nature.
Treviho Is no respecter Of persons or nation
ality. So an American who refused to come
down with the cash was ''sold out" and the
proceeds Of bis goods and chattels applied for
the benefit Of the extortoner. How much
longer will the United States government be
content to look onS "Job's patience" must
hide it's undminished head by the side of the
lsmblke forbearance which our government
has shown towards Mexico.

pr.ad of tho Bonnparte. ia France.

Drend of tho Bonnpartes Ia France.
Rumor has It that one of the members Of
the Murat family, while on his way from Eng
land to France, quite recently, was arrested
at Calais and compelled to return. Count
Murat or Prince Murat, as some will prefer
to call him, is o member Of the imperial
family; and the presumption on the part OF
the Theirs government that he was bent ON
some business in connection with the restora-
ton of the Bonapartes was not unnatural. II
this report proves to be correct 1t will furnish
another and most substantial proof that the
Theirs government is painfully sensitive as to
the danger which threatens it on the side Of
the Bonapartes. Nay, more. 1t seems 70 I'M
ply that the danger is not imaginary, but real.
MacMahon Is still at the head OF the army;
and while changes are made 10 all directions
The French army remains substantially what
Il was under the empire. The general feeling
il that while MaoMahon might at any mo-
ment remove President Theirs, 1t is not in the
mower Of President Theirs to dispense with
Tho ssrvices of the Commander-in- Chief. In
France things are not yet quite as they should
he. We are most anxious to see the republic
nrosper and take root. But what with the daily
executions Of Communists, the inexplicable
and fruitless coquetting with royalty and the
awful dread of the return Of the Bonapartes,
we are not encouraged to believe that France
has yet found her goal. There must be more
sorrow before there is rest, peace and pros
perity.

The CoNNEcTICUT ELECTION draws nigh !;
the battle wakes hot and sharp; the State is
closer than New Hampshire. Four or FIVE
hundred majority for the Governor Is consid-
cred great victory. The present Governor,
Jewell, is said to be, by his friends, good for
0ve hundred majority. He had only one hun
dred last year, and this year one or two hum
dred anti-Grant republicans may spoil his cal
oulations. New Hampshire, on the other
hand, has shown that the anti-Grant republi-
cans are very few, though very noisy and 50
In Connecticut the odds appear to be in favor
Of Jewell. The loss Of the helping hand o,
Tammany, too, has been heavy loss to thu
democracy every where, but especially in Con
uecticut.

Hell Cato and the East River Improves

He'll Cato and the East River Improves
Few people are aware of the stupendous
work going on at He'll Gate and Of the i'm
portant results that may be expected to ensue
from 1t. The removal Of the rocks there
which obstruct navigation 80 as to make aper-
fectly free and safe channel for the largest
vessels was vast undertaking. In this age,
however, hardly anything seems impossible to
engineering skill. In view, therefore, of the
Importance of opening free and safe channel
for the commerce of New York by the way of
Long Island Sound and the East River, the
government resolved to remove the He'll Gate
distractions. The work was commenced about
two years ago, and it is believed that in less
than two years more the whole will be COM
pleted. 1t is under the charge Of Major
General John Newton, of the United States
Engineer Corps. A vast deal of rock has
already been blasted out and cleared away.
Of about one hundred and sixty-five
thousand cubic yards Of rock to be removed
at least forty-two thousand yards have been
taken out. For removing the rest the rock is
being tunnelled and pierced in every direction.
When this is accomplished tremendous blast
will be made with seven thousand pounds Of
nitro glycerine, equal in force to seventy
thousand pounds Of gunpowder. The explo-
sion will be small earthquake. The details
of the work are exceedingly interesting to
scientific men. But the important fact we
now call attention to is with regard to the re-
suits that must follow to the commerce of the
city and to the Improvement of the upper part
of the island. When the largest steamship in
the European trade can come safely to this
port through He'll Gate and by way of Long
Island Sound, thus saving time and some
times avoiding danger by the outer passage,
we may expect portion Of the business at
least will be located far up town and when,
in addition to the clearing of He'll Gate, a
large ship canal and fine system of docks shall
be made, by the Harlem River and Spuyten
Duyvel to connect the Sound and East River
with the Hudson River, there will be, no
doubt, surprising change in the business
localities of New York. General Mcclellan
and our Dock Commissioners will, undoubt-
eddy, keep In view these great prospective
improvements in the grand plan they have de-
vised for reconstructing our docks and il
making this commercial metropolis the pride
of the country and admiration Of the world.
Neither the federal nor our city government
can spend money so usefdlly as in giving all
the facilities possible to the commerce o.

THE LABOR REFoRMRRs. In February last,

as their Presidential ticket; but it appears
that neither Of these two anxious men has
been officially informed Of the high distinction
conferred upon him. The Labor Reform
Convention, perhaps, forgot to appoint COM

may never be informed officially Of the action
Of the Convention. Well, as Mr.. Toots would
say, ''Never mind, it's Of no consequence"

TIE RAILROAD ACCIDENT on the West
Pennsylvania line, which occurred yesterday
at Conemaugh Furnace, by which the South
ern express train was wrecked, brings its
lessons of warning to railway officials all over
the country. The cause, we learn, was q
broken rail, and 10 the breakup of the winter,
with its mountain freshets, foods and sudden
changes of temperature, making rails as brittle
as glass, many such causes will call for
the most acute attention and provision. The
lives lost in this last catastrophe appear to be
only two, which, as three cars appear to have
gone over the embankment, we admit to be
providentially small. Fourteen other pas
sengers were injured. We have every reason,
therefore, to be thankful that more terrible
loss of life is not to be recorded. If the
end of the winter necessitates increased pre-
cautions on the great rivers, we recommend q
similar care by the officers Of the railroads in
whose hands so many lives are placed by a
public that in this age of stir and hustle can
not remain still.

Myer to get the earliest premonitions of the
approach Of these vast anti-cyclones, which
are a. important in their results as cyclones
from the South. Indeed, without any preten-
sion to weather wisdom. and judging only
from experience, we should not hazard much
in the prediction that this severe cold spell is
the prelude to and the premonitor Of great
equinoctial gale, now fully due. The mariner
may do well to keep sharp lookout for It.
Tho Alabama Claims Question in tho
- sate~ British Parilansnr.
The subject Of the Alabama Claims bill
Of the American government, and the
Treaty Of Washington generally, was
brought to the notice Of the House of
Lords by Earl Derby yesterday evening.
His L0rdship was anxious to know II the
Queens government would remain firm In its
determination not to entertain the claim for
indirect damages. He referred to the anxiety
which prevailed out Of doors on this point.
and warned the Ministry that q continuous
sacrifice Of principle, even for the sake Of
securing peace, Is dangerous. The indepen-
dence of the press in commenting on the gen.
eral subject was acknowledged completely by
the peer, who seemed to regret that the news
papers were permitted to be ahead of the
Parliament In the enjoyment Of an opportunity
for the exercise of its privilege. He wished to
know if Great Britain would appear again be-
fore the Geneva Board Of Arbitration. Lord
Malmesbury supported Earl Derby's position,
regretting the government delay in discussing
the Treaty of Washington. Lord Westbury
was animated in his opposition to the indirect
damages claim, and not exactly compliment
tary to the diplomacy of the United States, il
his remarks have been reported correctly.
The debate terminated without having pro-
duced any exact result, Earl Granville refer
ring the oppositionists to the previous state
ments of Mr.. Gladstone on the subject. The
Foreign Secretary alleged, in conclusion, that
the Treaty of Washington had been miscon-
strued. This declaration may, perhaps, indi-
cate the advent of moment of mutual AMIGA
BILE Interpretation Of its provisions.
