Wharf.-The news from England is a little
gloomy. A dispatch on Monday announced
that the British government has repudiated
the Treaty of Washington, for the settlement
of the Alabama claims, after finding that the
tribunal constituted under that Treaty is likely
to bring a verdict for the American case
This is taken as next thing to a declaration of
histilites by some American journals, but
dispatches discredit any such idea. The repu-
diation, if it is confirmed, will necessarily
render our relations with England less cordial.
but by no means compels war IF England
chooses to have this serious matter remain un.
settled We can allow it to be SO as long as she
can.

GA SINGULAR CASE. Such is the heading
OF an article going the rounds of the press,
copied from the Centrevile (Md.) paDers. Of
last week. That the article may be understood
we will state that it is the sequel to the Sam'l
Denney case, which we noticed recently-a
young farmer near this town who shpped his
goods beyond the reach of his creditors and
then decamped. 1t seems that his goods were
engineered for him by other parties in his
neighborhood, but MIR. j. H. Bewley, his prin.
cipal creditor, ferreted the matter out and
secured much of Denney's personal effects in
Maryland. Having an execution on them
they were sent beyond his reach for this
reason by Denney's friends) he captured them,
and now the parties buying them arc some
thing out Of pocket. The matter may lead to
interesting complications. Here is the article
referred to:
A singular and complicated case came to
nght last week. 1t seems that a Mr. Fox, of
Delaware, In order to make himself safe in
some property he had under execution, brought
to this county two horses, pair of mules and
carriage. Where he disposed of the mules we
have not been apprised. The carriage he
traded to MIR. PleasantOn, near Church Hill,
Tor cattle, and the two horses with Mr.. J. g.
Rasln, OF this town, for two other horses
One OF the horses be obtained from Mr.. Rasin
he traded to Mr.. r. NJ. Hopkins for another
horse, and with these started home. When a
few miles above Church Hill he met and
traded both horses to Mr.. Whittington for two
other horses: 1t subsequently turned out that
Mr. John Bewley, OF Smyrna, held a prior
execution aga inst the whole property. This
gentleman with an officer came over on Satnr
day and claimed his property. Mr.. Rasin gave
