No Confederate Funds in England.
LONDON. November 2.-The Pail Mall
Gazette says: "There is no truth what
ever in the statement that there is a
large amount OF money in the bank OF
England deposited to the credit OF the
Confederate government and available
for paying Confederate bonds. We be-
lieve it does not hold a single penny
and doubt whether there is any such
money in any bank in this country.
The whole story is a gross fabrication
and the fitting product of speculation
that has no substantial foundation.
LONDON, November "A novel fea-
ture OF the Lord Mayors procession will
be banner by the United States
escorted by guard OF honor.
The Conservative gain in the munich
pal election was Sc; Liberal gain 10. The
most important change is at Stanley
Bridge, where the Conservatives gained
six seats. They gained four in Oldham,
three in Cardiff, three in Liverpool. The
foregoing results are probably attribu-
table to the Irish vote, but Conservative
gains are pretty evenly distributed
among the town with large Irish popu-
lation, and those purely English.
In connection with the prevention OF
the Land League meeting in the East
End London, Scotland Yard, the au-
thorities state that they have not ordered
interference with the meetings. The
subordlnates acted on their own respon-
sibility.
When the Lord Mayors procession
reaches Westminster the American flag
will be borne to the Palace yard, and
massed bands will play the American
national anthem. The Secretary OF the
American legation writes that he is sure
that this grateful recognition OF the ties
binding the Two nations will be received
with the greatest pleasure in America.
English Geographical society.
LONDON, November THE first meet
ing of the Geographical Society is TO be
devoted entirely to Arctic matters, the
subject for discussion being the where
abouts OF Leigh Smith, who set out early
in the summer ior France and josef
Island and has not yet returned also the
Dutch expedition OF W llllaln DdTehtS,
supposed TO be caught in the ice in the
neighborhood Of Spitzenbergen fate OF
Jeanette and the proposed inter
national search expedition next summer:
and the scheme OF the polar observa-
tories. Captain Adams says OF his re-
cent voyaging. that had he not been on
whaling voyage he could have reached
Dease and Simpson Straits, and made
the northwest passage. 81 believe" he
said, that the northwest passage can
be made by way of Peel Sound, and by
that way only. and that if Franklin's $
vessels had been steamers he would
have made it in lS4S. | may myself
live to 20 into Lancaster Sound and re.
port myself at Honolulu"
No Anglo-French Commercial Treaty.
LONDON, November 2.-Negotiations
ior commercial treaty with France
have JAILED. The British commissioners
are coming home. The French officers
fall far short of the point AT which a
compromise might be entertained. The
principal differences are relative to cot
ton. 1t is thought that Gambetta's Min
istry will prove more reasonable than
the present one.
