SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GBAPHIO AND OTHER MATTER. ‘ CONGRESS AND THE DISTRICT. Some members of Congress taking their cue from the tone of the Chronicle, so persistently | | | depreciatory of Washimgton enterprise, have i been in the habit of sneering at this commani- ty for not undertaking business enterprises LATER FROM EUROPE. Impertaat from Ireland—Mere Arrests— Pelice Fired On, The stamer O ty of New Yosk. from Liver- pool on the ist, via Queeastown on the id ult, Das arrived. The euspension of the writof habeas corpus in Ireland was received wi'h universal ap; = im = eee, and very general satisfaction in Ireland. ‘The first effect there was uneasiness and de- Ppres+ion, but the vigor shown by the Govern- ment has restored confidence, and had a very favorable effect. ltis believed that the ohject of the act au- thorizing the arrest and detention of any per- son suspected of treason until March, 1567, is to enable the authorities to deal with nu- merous Fenian emissaries from America, | Who, it is represented, are scattering iu all di- such as are carried out in wealthier cities else- | where. Well, some of our citizens unitein a business undertaking creditable to their public spirit, ana form an ice company, and at heavy | expense prepare a lake of pure water for ice- | freezing, erect buildings, procure ice saws and — ail the other machinery used by the large es- | tablishmenis of the north, and having prepared themselves to furnish ice to this part ofthe country on a large scale, ask Congress to grant them a charter. The result is seen in the House vote of yesterday, where, after opposi- tion by Messrs. Conkling and Grinnell, and a generous word of advocacy by. Mr. Ingersoll, the bill was laid upon the table by a vote of 69 to 58. Mr. Ingersoll, who is s gentleman of liberal mind and marked ability, seems to think that while this city is the National Capital, it should be treated as such, for the dignity of Oongress, snd not made a mark for petty hos- | tile legislation. ~- CBARGE OF CBUELTY. A letter from Annapolis, Md., received by Lieut. S. N. Ciark, of the Bureau of Refugees sud Freedmen for this District, gives an ac- count of an attack on a negro boy, fourteen years of that occurred recently -in that city. The boy had given some offense to a full grown white man, for which he knocked the boy down. stamped on him and walked away, leaving th lying on the ground senseless | ij here they su: | Tipperary, w! ey gence and biseding The gentleman with whom the boy lived heard of the affair and had him car- Tied home, where he is now under the care of a physician. BESTBICTIONS REMOVED. The Secretary of the Treasury has issued a cireular to customs officers and officers and agents of the United States in foreign coun- tries, dated Ma-ch 7, 1866, removing the re stricuons on the importation of cattle and hides from all foreign conniries, except Europe. Neat cattle and hides may be admitted from Canada and other British North American provinces, 1f accompanied by the Consnis’ certificate that no cattle disease exists or has recently been in those provinces.

A despatch from Phiindelphia states that in bis debut there in William Tell, on Tuesday night, before a critical audience, he made a fine impression as a singer and actor, some going so far as tosay that he is the best bari- tone ever beard in opera there.

Seven-thirties more in demand, ap- = as the result of the decline in gold. e settlement of the Missouri State debt in- creased the demand tor Missouri Sixes and the Price was 1% higher. The aetivity in stocks caused rather more demand for money from the street, and the rate on call loans was gen- eralty seven per cent. with the banks, and, ‘with a few exceptions at six per cent., the same rate was obtained by private firm. Gold more settled. There was less speculative activity, the large amount in the market since the sales baving ss found a more permanent resting place, in expectation ofa partial upward reaction. There were fewer sellers, the premium steady at 33 Kass y.

The Govern- jent bas notes outstanding, in its own name, #0 the extent of about three billions, which is about as far as a debtor ought to go in that line. Besides that, the proposed guarantee would practically constitute an espousal of the Juarez cause, and would be so considered by France.
