Important Sveeches of Lord Malmes Mr. Fitzgerald. oe DUBIOUS FOR THE TELEGRAPH ENTERPRISE IMPROVEMENT IN COTTON, ao.. &c., as. ‘The steamebip Arabia, Captain Stone, from Liverpool on ‘oe afternoon of Saturday, June 19, arrived at Halifax at 190 P. M., yeatorday, The Arabia reports June 19 passed the steamship Africa ‘bound east. June 23, at noon, passed a ship of war, supposed to be one of the telegraph squadron, steering west, in lat 63 36, Jong. 30 08, too far distant to communicate with her. [Pos- sibly the Nisgara. The cable was to havo been united in Int. 62 02, long. 33 18, from which it would appear that the ground had not been reached. } June 25, Int. 50 30, long, 42 25, exchanged signals with steamship Indian bound east. ‘The Arabia algo reports the wind during the passage from south to southwest and variable. On Friday, the ‘28th, lat. 50 30. long, 42, wind west-south-west and blow- tug s gale ; after that the weather fine and wind still poutherly. On the whole, the weather the Arabia expe- vienced was not as moderate as usual in the month of June. ‘The steamer Indian Empire was appointed to leave Gal- ‘way for Halifax and New York on the 18th instant, but ‘aa abe was entering Galway harbor she ran upon a sunken rock and remained two hours, but got off uninjured. The two pilots in charge of her had been committed for wil- fully causing the disaster. The vessel was detained till the 19th. Her advices are the same as those per tho Arabia. ‘The steamer New York was going to pieces, and fearg wore entertaincd that very little of her valuable cargo ‘would be raved. Nothing important bad transpired in Parliament. ‘The Crown Princess of Sweden had given birth toa 102. ‘Tho Danish elections had resulted in favor of the Minis try and against the claims of the German Diet. Prussia, it was rumore4, intended to increase her navy. ‘The King of the Belgians had arrived in England ona ‘Vist: $9 Queen Victoria. ‘The insurrection in Candia ended peaceably. Considerable modification of the Belgian Cabinet was spoken of, but not on political grounds. Rev. Dr. Jabex Bunting, one of the principal mombers Of the Methodist Episcopal Schurch, had died afver fifty- mine years spent in the ministry. A company had been formed ‘or a submarine telegraph Detween Exgland and India, via the Red Sea, with a capi- tal of £1,000 000. Lengthy details of the Indian news had been received, including the march into Robilound, but contain nothing inaportant in addition to the telegraphic despatch takeu out by the Persia. Russell, the special correspondent of the London Times, bad been jrostrated by a gun stroke. ‘The Indian Empire aiso takes out news that the ateamer Qity of Wasbington, from New York, and North Amorican, from Portiand, arrived st Liverpool on the moruing of the 17%. GREAT BRITAIN. On the 17th inst., in the louse of Lords, the Bishop of Oxford preseoted a pet'\ion from Jamalea touching tho Spanish slave trade, ant called tho attention of the Hous: generally to the quésiion. Ha contended that the present threatening [aszoct of affairs in tho West was occasioned by having #0 long permitiod Spain to break Der treaty engagemoots and 1 continue Cabs as & provocative of dangerous extremities. If Spain ‘would at once give up the slave trade and convert Caba into a colony for employing free African labor, the desire which many persons in the United States had expressed to annex the island would be removed. Lord Brougham supported the petition, and strongly condemned the policy of Spain. Farl Malmesbury deeply regretted that the efforts of Kugiand to suppress the slave trade bed not beea recond- fed by other nations. With regard to the late unhappy @ifferences, be had admitted to the American goverament, as & question of international law, thet Eoglaad was not entitled to insist upon the right of search; but had also put it strongly to the Amoricaa government, whether Gey would continue to permit their flag to be prostituted to the worst of parposes; and he had urged the necess'ty of coean police, and that somo understanding should be come to betweon the <ifferent maritime nations, which ‘would enable tho nat\ovality of vorsels to be clearly vor!- fied without any dauger of & bresea of international law. He had every reason to believe, from a conversation he had bad witb the American Minister, ‘that some such arrangemens mht be come to. With regard to Spain it was notorious that hitherto the moral wapport which she bad rece!ved from Fugland bad materi ally cided hor in resisting the withes of tue United States fo annex Cuba; but if sho still persisted im supporting the slave trade, it was higbiy probable that the present auxie- ty of Great Britain would Le exchanged for indifference. Baril Gray was rorry there should be any attempts renew the slave trade. tie thought the United States and France solely respossib's for the renewal. With regard to the question of international law, so far as ho under- stood it, an American vesre! diled witn slaves might leave Africa without Fagland beng able to interfere with her, notwithstandicg a perfet know edge of her character, Earl Ameren said this definition of international law ‘was qu te correct. Other peers spoke on the subject, when the petition was ordered to Ue on the table. In the Commons @ further debate took place onthe India resolutions, when it was agreed to that the government should withdraw the remaining resolutions: od introjuce =o® §=6reguiar India dill, which ‘was forwith done, and the debate was fixed for the follow- ing week. Mr. Barkeley asked whether, seeing that tho marines gmail armed men of the American navy are armod with breoch-loading rifles, by which a mam can Gre three times for once for an opponent armed with the old ‘weapon, any steps had been taken to place the naval forces of Great Pritain on an equality. Sir J. Puckington said the trials were going on, and that when tho result was agcortained measures would be adopted in nooordance with them. On the 18th inst, in the House of Lords the proceed- ings were unimportan . In the Hovse of Commons Mr. Fitzgerald, in reply to an Inquiry whether the plenipotentiaries to Chins had been restricted in their powers, said there was no truth In the statement to that effect. The plenipotentiaries had full discretionary power to negotiate at Canton or Pekin, or Proceed north, as they thought fit. Debate then iook place on the American imbroglio. Mr. Fitzgerald, in reply to Mr. Bright, stated that tho government had received no further information in refo- rence {0 the al eged outrages. Tt was quite possible tha the commanders of some voese’s had exceeded their Gnties; and if they had, the government would be roady to make an ample aud frank acknowledgment. [t was Obvious that the cases which had been published were gromly exaggerated. In proof of this he read several Gases, and added that the American (lag had been abused by thorns who wore rot Americana for the vilest purposes. Be had entire confidence that when those circumstances Were known, and when the disposition of this country was known, ail the dificuitios would be amicably arranged. The government, acting under the advice of the Crown lawyers, bad given up the right of search and of visit in time of peace; but the government had invited America to join in maintaining an ocean police. It was under con sideration whether the squadron should be withdrawn from the Cuban waters and replaced on the coast of Afri: on, and stringent instructions had been sent to comman- dors of cruisers, enjoining the strictest prudence and @aution Mr. Roebuck thought the sta‘emont of Mr. Fitegorald Mort conciliatory and entisfactery , but the disposition had MORNING EDITION—TUESDAY, JUN not been imitated by Amerioa. The language used in tho American Congress was unworthy of a grea: country. ‘They had always assumed that England wished to insult them, but he hoped they would now learn that she bad mo such desire. Lies had been told in the American pepers for the purpose of pandering to bad habits, aud he would not believe that the commanders had done any- thing to call for the censure of our own government. Lord John Russell said if the government conducted the affair in the temperate spirit manifested by the Under Secretary, there could be no doubt that the House of Commons would hesitate for a moment to give them its Lord Palmerston suid the craisers bad been sent into the Cubsn waters in consequence of the wishes of Parlia- ment snd of depatations to the government, and also in compliance with the wish of the American government themselves. He hoped her Majesty’s government would urge the American government to send out cruisers to Prevent the abuse of the flag of the United States, which had been the cause of the difficulty. Mr. Diraeli said that the best despatch that could be sent to America was the calm and dispassionate spirit in which the House of Commons was dis- cussing the question. He added thatthe American gov ernment had been invited to engage in measures to protect each country against abuses of its flag. He bad confidence that the existing misconceptions would speedi- ly disappear. He was not annoyed at American ships of war being sent into Cuban waters, because they would there see for themselves what had taken place. The subject was then dropped. ‘The debate in the Houge of Lords on the slave trade attracts the gencral attention of the press. ‘The London Times says:— At the present time it is evident that the struggle against the slave trade hes reacbed an important crisis. It hangs om a thread whether the policy of England during the last thirty years shall be abandoned or retained. The three States which, from their present power or their former prosperity, have the least share im the matter, are manifostly at igsue with England.” It then proceeds to argue that the United States and France are equally guilty with Spain, and esys it will never do to attempt coercion with weak Spain, and at the same time wink at the delinquencies of the more powerful States. The London Post argues that England has done its duty im the matter,snd that it rests with the people of the United States to say whether they will do theirs. The London Daily News, on the same subject, drges the cultivation of cotton in Africa as the best solution of the difficulty. The London Times on the 19th, ina leader, congratulates the government on having taken the adviceof the law officers of ths Crown, whose decided opinion is that by international law we have no right of search—no right of visitation whatever in time of peace. Upon that opinion Lord Derby and his colleagues are prepared to act by the law of nations. No English cruiser has the smallest right to interfere with any ship bearing the fiag of the ‘United States, enve in so far as that right has been con- ferred by tresty. They will, therefore, withdraw the blockading squadron trom the Cuban waters, and there is en end of our differences with the States upon this dis. graceful subject. Adzmirel Sir Obarles Ogle, Senior Admiral of ths British navy, died on the 16th inst. Mr. Lyons, Secretary of Legation at Florence, who con- ductedthe recent negotiations with Naples, is appointed Minister to Tuscany. General Van Straubenzee, commander of the British forces in China, is made a Knight Commander of the Bath. A eerious collision occurred on the London and North- western Railroad, near Huddersfield, by which three persons were killed, and twelve seriously wounded. ‘The arrivals of Australian gold for the week exceed four hundred thoveand pounds; and other vessels con veying still more than this were looked for in afow days. The London Morning Herald says there is an augmenting absorption of money for trading purposes, and that the evidence of this is fully afforded by the character of the paper which is passing through the hands of the bankers and diecount brokers, particalarly that ro- esived from Liverpool and Manchester in London, Business prospects are also spoken uf with more con{i- fidence, and the favorable state of the weather will assist to encourage transactions. FRANCE. ‘The eubetitution of M. de Langle for General Exptnasse, in the Ministry of the Interior, is eaid to give geuoral satis- faction in France. Letters from Paris report that arrests continue to be made. ‘The death of Ary Scheffer, the celebrated painter, had been announced. A doubtful rumor was current that the Duke de Mala- koff would soon return to France, and Count de Persigny resume the mission to England. The Moniteur announces another reduction of interest on the French Treasury bonds. The rates now range from 234 & 33g per cont according to time, The harvest reports of France are generally encourag: ing. In the south the yiold is expected to be one-fourth if nota third more than last year, Tt ts positively affirmed that the nomination of Prince Napoleon for the Governorship of Algiers is abandoned. Napoleon will open the camp ot Chalons with great pomp on the 15th of July. The three per cents cloged on the 18th at 68f. 40c. The French Mediterranean floet ordered to Brest, to be present coring the Emperor's visit, will consist of twelve sorew line of battle ships, five frigates, four corvettes and a certain number of small steamers. ‘The festivities at Fontainbleau were over, and the Em- peror bed returned to Paris. , SPAIN. The elections in Spain are fixed to take place in October. RUSSIA. Rossian imperial paper currency to the amount of tweive million silver roubles had been publicly burnt at St. Petersburg, with the view of stimulating public cond. dence. TURKEY. Two Turkish stesmers landed nearty 1,200 troops at the Bay of Bavosa on the 18th of June. A Ruseian war steamer was anchored off Ragusa. The Montenegrins are said to bave rotired t a moun- tain from Graboro, A letter of a compromising character, from Sefer Pacha to the Russian commander, bad been intercepted and sent {o Constantinople. Several bundrod houses baye been burnt ai Constanti- nople. A Vienna letter positively contradicts the statement that a convention bas been concluded between Austria and Turkey relative to Montenegro. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKRT.

Counsel on the side showed that it had been filed io eopsie, and averr- ed that it bad been used as pleadings in @ cause. How- ever, he would leave the charge to disposed of with the other. Mir, Stoughton said that they were anxious to proceed with this examination before bis Honor, inasmuch as they had no doubt that it would reeult in exons Dwight from all charge, not only.of crime but of bi ‘that they were prepared to with the investi; tion, and feit satietied that such would be the result; that be was, however, aware of the important di which at this time devolved pene Court, and should be glad to reiieve his Honor further labor in moauier; that under the circumstances, and in view of the intimation of the Court, he would advise his client to enter into his own recognizance to appear and answer eny and all charges that might be made against him be- fore apy preper tribunal, but should not advise him to give urety to that effect, as thie might give rise to the suggestion that he was not apxious to meet the investigation here —which he was. He would, therefore, advise Mr. D to enter into his own recogpizsnce only, and iet the prose- cation act as ee afterwards.

The hovse was but thinly attended, probably on account of the intense heat of the weather. The performance was very good, however Mme. de Gazzaniga, Miss Adelaide Phillips, Signor! Prig- noli, Amodio and Geasier all put forth thoir best efforts. On Wednesday will be given the very last performance of the season, for the benefit of Mme. de Gazzaniga. The first and third acts of ‘La Traviata’ wil! be given, with the third act of “‘Masaniello,” including sime. Gazzaniga’s charming Spanish song, “La Naranjera.”’ The isat nights of the opera are always good, but with the sensatioa al- ready made by Mme. de Gazsaniga, added to the fact that we ehall have no more opera until September, tho house should be crowded from top to bottom.

Miss Cushman has long been celebrated for bor dashing acting as Lady Gay, and she was capecially good with the brilliant gallery of dramatic artists in which she shone as a star of the first magnitude. The aadienos, which filled the house in every part, received all the Metropolitan favorites with applause, and the reception of Messrs. Brougham and Placide, who have bein s0 long absent from our boards, was very enthusiastic.

ASCORCHING OFFICIAL MANIFESTO The Case of Stephen D. Dillaye vs.the Secretary of the Treasury, The Dismissal of Dillaye from the New York Castom House Accounted for. Statement of the Case by Mr. J. B, Guthrie, Special Agent of the Treasury Department. Serlous Charges aud Specifications Against Mr. Dillaye and Others. Some Idea Furnished, Perhaps, of the Pickings of the Custom House. READ THE DOCUMENT, &e., &o., &o. Wasnmaron, June 23, 1858. ‘The extraordinary communication of Stephen D. Dillaye, late Appraiser at Large, pub!\shed in the New York Times of June 11,1868, denouncing the Hoa. Howe!! Cobb, Secre- tary of the Treasury, for having caused his dismissal from office, and myself for having investigated certain charges against his official conduct, aud reporting to the depart- ment the result of that investigation, render some reply from me necessary and proper. The virulence with which Mr. Dillaye assatis the Secre- tary and myself is indicative of passion and malice, aod cannot be viewed as evidence of truth or manliness. In reviewing his communication I ehall pass over the epi- thets he used, as they aro evidence of nothing but bad taste on the part of the writer. He makes the following charges against Secretary Cobb, that are susceptible of contradiction by unquestioaadle evidence. The rest of his assertions in regard to the Sec- retary of the Treasury purport to be founded on couver- sations when there was nobody present but themselves, and, of course, they rest upon Mr. Dillaye’s own veracity for their truthfulness ; bat, from the evidence prodaced of the falsity of a number of his assertions, the truth of the others may well be quertioned Firai—With instigating the various committegs of i vestiga- ‘ort Sneding wud Willet’s Point, in order thet he might cast a shadow over :he fair fame uf the Hoa, Jon B.
