GREAT BRITAIN.
THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.

LONDON, April 3.-The Globe calls attention
to rumOr of an extraordinary character which
has obtained currency in London, that the case
OF the American government before the Geneva
tribunal OF arbitration estimates the losses of
citizens of the United States by the capture
and destruction of American ships and cargoes
by Confederate cruisers built and fitted out in
English waters at $14, 100000, and the expense
OF the United States government in Qursuing
said privateers at $500, 100000 The Globe
comments with some severity upon the state
ment, and expresses hope that Mr.. Gladstone
will be speedily called upon in Parliament for
an explanation as to its truth and falsity.
CANADA AND CT. BRITAIN.
The Echo contains article upon the same
subject the union of Canada with Great Brit
ain, in which it hints strongly that the connec-
ton between the two countries is merely artifi-
cial and estimates that Lord Dufferin is posi-
bly, the last viceroy of the Dominion.
GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE.
The well known tavern "Hole in the WalP'
having been used as headquarters by the Re
publicans of London, has been refused license
by the authorities. New rooms in consequence
have been secured for the meetings by the Lon
don Patriotic society. Hon. John Stuart Mill
has sent letter to the president of the associa-
ton enclosing twenty pounds as contribution
towards the expense of its change of quarters
expressing approval of the resistance of the or,
ganization to an attempt by the government to
prevent by indirect means the discussion of
subjects which it is thought too hazardous to
openly suppress

tinued his work of reform yesterday and was
of vigorous action the presumption is that he
found very large field of operation for his
breaking-up plough As he walked he fgura-
lively drove a crowd of old soakers before him,
who kept just far enough ahead to get their
'last shot at the old places before they were
closed up by the law. By tonight they will
probably find "the last ditch" and be left to
bleach out
OF course this movement of the Sheriff has
excited considerable interest, and is the general
topic of conversation. The ultimate effect is
freely discussed and predictions made. There
is good deal of feeling on the subject which
is not discovered on the surface 1.-The fellows
Of the baser Sort who had been visited" got
together in knots to stalk the thing over" and
among the rumors is one that they have resolved
that if the law is executed it shall be- impair
TALLY, and will organize spy system on the
better class" and enter complaints at the first
symptoms of selling on the sly. Of course
there is a deal of grumbling at the stringency
of the law; one chap swore that eff thing
went on in this way they wouldn't allow man
to put hop poultice on his stomach"
The first prosecution under the new act was
made yesterday morning. Harvey r. Myers,
who kept saloon under the United States
Hotel known as the Rock Vault, was notified
the other day by Sheriff Perry to stop selling
and promised to do so. According to the
Sheriff's account he called into Myers saloon
Tuesday and Myers sold three glasses of ale
right before his eyes. Consequently the Sheriff
had him up before the Municipal Court and he
was orderedio recognize for his appearance at the
May term of the Superior Court. 1t is rumored
that Myers escaped from the officer who was
sent out with him to procure bail, and has left
town. t-
The immediate effect of Sheriff Perry s
course was seen last night. Many shops that
have been kept open nights were dark and still
last night. 1t is estimated that at least seventy
five shops were closed voluntarily before the
Sheriff began his walk. To-day he will con-
tinue his notifications, and we understand from,
him, that if shopkeepers persist in selling he
will not only proceed against them but also
against the owners Of the buildings under the
nuisance act.
