Inendiur his elevation TO the peeragc.

NE~ CABLE COMPANY.
A new company, wbich proposes to lay tee-
graph cable direct to New York, has been regis
tered. One of the features 10 its prospectus IS Il

shitiugs per ten words.
THE TIMES AGAIN.
The Times, to-day, in reviewing the debate ID
the house of c0tnmOus, says: 1t is evident that
the house is unanifiou5 in repudating the adj
INSTABILITY of American claims for indirect
losses. GladStOueS language is not likely 10
induce Americans to withdraw their demands.
The Times strongly dCprecates the verbal dis
cusSion over the treaty.
THE TELEGRAPH.
ut 'dlN ltiN9tHiil NlllNlASS lut
of the American journalists on the subject, and
SAYS The English government in the stand it
took, has only Obcyed the unanimous impulse
of the country, but the speeches OF Gladstone
are indiscreet, and will probably prove mschiev-
Gus.
THE POLITICAL POT STILL BOILING.
Tie excitement over the Alabama claims is
unabated. fhe speeches in parliament succeed
ing tue newspaper discussions, seem 10 keep
the public mind agitated. The anxiety rs to
the manner in which the cabinet at W ashlugtOn
win receive the representatives of the British
government is felt in all circles. The effect OF
this state of affairs is more particularly shown
on Change, where business for the moment Is
dem0raized. The market for American secnrl-
les opened alt, with marked decline for all
quotations. Since the opening, however, u. D.
bonds OF 1862 and 1867 have recovered a lrac-
ton, hut others continue at falling OFT from
IL to 3-4 from the closing prices of last night,
and the market remains inactive. In American
railway shares there have been no transactions
thus far to-day. The general uneasinCss is also
reflected in the quotations OF cOnsuls, which have
declined from IA to SO since last evening.
Tue press, although still moderate in tone,
tind fault with Gladstone for defending the
treaty, ard nlainan that parliament is unani-
mously for the rejection of the American de-
mands.
