T h i s was proved in 1850, when privateers

issued from Baltimore to prey upon Por tu­

guese commerce, a grievance which the Por­

tuguese Government made the subject of

formal representations that do not seem even

to have received any answer from the G o v ­

ernment at Washington. Next with regard

to our own conduct, E a r l Russell contends

that we have done a l l that we could do in

order to prevent the gticvances complained

of, and in a memorandum attached to the

letter he gives a summary of a l l the proceed

ings which have been taken under the Foreign

Enlistment A c t . Nevertheless he wi l l not

contend that that A c t is perfect, and he thinks

the two Governments might wisely determine

to consider whether a better measure might

not be devised. I n conclusion E a r l Russel l

says : — " I have only to repeat in this, the

" last letter which I shall have the honour to

" address to you on this subject, my sincere

" and earnest hopes that our two countries,

" now both relieved from the stain and guilt

" of slavery, may perform their part in the

" world in peace and good-will."

A D V I C E S from J a m a i c a report a serious

outbreak among the Negro population of that

island, who have risen in arms, and massacred

a number of the white inhabitants. T h e

Negroes in J a m a i c a have been free for the

last thirty years, enjoying all the privileges of

citizenship, and nominally professing the

Christ ian religion. T h e y have their schools,

churelies, and meeting-houses, with preachers

and schoolmasters of their own colour, all

duly recognized by the Government. P h i l a n ­

thropists for years have pointed to the Brit ish

West I n d i a Is lands as the scene where the

Negro, released from his bonds, was l iving a

happy and contented, i f not a pious life. T h e

terrible atrocities which the rebellious Ne­

groes have lately perpetrated in J a m a i c a ,

shew that their civilization is but little more

than a name; and that thirty years spent in

the midst of, and on terms of equality with

the white population, have failed to eradicate

their natural barbarism. Some accounts at­

tribute the insurrection to the promptings of

emissaries from the Negro republic of H a y t i ,

others to the advice of agents from the United

States; but al l agree that the Negroes in J a ­

maica had no grievences except of their own

making, and that their revolt against the

Br i t i sh Government admits of no justifi­

cation.

T H E American journals are attentively oc­

cupied with the Adams-Russe l l correspond­

ence. T h e New York Times commences

with an article denunciatory of the limitations

fixed by L o r d Russell of ihe claims to be

considered by the proposed commission of ar­

bitration. I t summarises the result of the

correspondence to be that the British Govern­

ment has declared, first, that it wi l l not make

good the losses sustained by the Confederate

privateers', second, that it wil l not submit

them to arbitration; and, third, thai they will

not be included in the subjects referred to by

the proposed commission. Under these cir­

cumstances the Timet expresses its surprise

that the London journals should believe that

the Government ot the United States would

assent to the proposal of a joint commission,

adding:—" I t is very evident that there is

" one nation in the world upon whom the

" lessons of the recent war have been entirely

" lost. W e can better affoid a ten years'

" war than thus permit any nation on the face

" of the earth to diets te the degree of our

" submission to her arrogant and irresponsible

" wi l l ." Singularly enough the New York

Herald, generally the most virulently anti-

Engl i sh paper of the United States, adopts a

milder tone, though it warns its countrymen

that " a war with Great Britain is not beyond

''the bounds of possibility," yet suggests that

it would be " undesirable and disadvantageous

" to the Americans themselves, considering

" the heavy war debt which already presses

" on their industry and resources." Under

these circumstances it suggests that, since it is

not worth while to go to war with E n g l a n d ,

the Alabama claims may be settled in a sum­

mary manner by confiscating the property of

Engl i sh merchants and stockholders in the

United States. I f this measure should be re­

jected, it suggests another, which is indicative

of the ignorance of political economy which

governs the journalism of the United States.

T h i s measure is nothing less than to decline

to trade with this country, which it thinks

wi l l be the " heaviest blow we could inflict."

T h e Herald prophesies that it would endan­

ger the solvency of E n g l a n d , or at al l events

would so impoverish her, that she would

speedily be glad to come to terms. I t believes

also that it would have another effect, inas­

much as it would stop at once sending gold

abroad, so that " it would accumulate here

" rapidly, and become so much cheaper as to

" make it more available than ever for the

" payment of interest on our national se-

" curities."

Th i s is a most i m p o r t a n t discovery for Cleveland, ow­ing to the fact t ha t t h i s shale is i n suoh abundance, and, i n many cases, crops out to the surface, as i t may be seen on the coast no r th o l W h i t b y , between Staithes and Runswick Bay , near to the ironstone mine* o f Messrs Palmer, i n which locali ty tbe j e t rock or sbale is very rich in o i l , and can be worked at a mere D O S T i na l cost.

Diocese of D u r h a m . — T h e Bishop of D u r ­ham's appeal for the erection

T H E further correspondence between E a r l

Russel l and M r Adams is important, inas­

much as the arguments go to prove that

E n g l a n d has been right in the course she has

taken. I n the first letter E a r l Russell cau­

tions M r Adams that any claims arising out

of the depredations committed by the Alaba­

ma cannot be submitted to the proposed com­

mission. T o this M r A d a m s replies by ask­

ing what cases will be so referred, and E a r l

Russel l promises that an answer shall be sent.

I n anticipation of that, E a r l Russel l writes a

long letter on the 3rd ins t , reviewing his own

policy during the time he held the Foreign

seals, and concluding with the announcement

that this wil l be his last opportunity of revert­

ing to the subject. I n tbis explanation he

contends that there is no parallel between the

conduct of France when our American colo­

nies revolted and that of E n g l a n d during the

recent rebellion, inasmuch as E n g l a n d never

conceded belligerent rights to her colonies,

while Amer ica did concede them to the C o n ­

federate States. Next with regard to certain

regulations for the prevention of breaches of

tbe Foreign Enlistment A c t , which exist in

America , but not in our own country; E a r l

Russell shews that these are really ineffective.

T b e ren t o f the houses is nearly 19s per for tn igh t , and the purchaser by paying 20s per fo r tn igh t , w i l l have purchased the houses in less than th i r teen years ; so tha t by paying down £ 6 0 , and rather more than one sh i l l ing per f o r t n i g h t more t h a n the rent , be would become ent i t l ed to property b r ing ing h i m i n yearly £ 1 per week.
