Lord Brougham inquired when the papers relating to the slave trade would bo laid upon the table. Earl Russell said the papers to which the noble and lord referred were very voluminous, and a con- siderable time was required for their preparation. He availed himself of this opportunity to state that the United States of America during the last few years had zealously co-operated with this country in an endeavor ‘to put down this traffic. The fitting out of slave vessels in American ports had been stopped altogether. Lord Brougham wished to state that he had never given his approbation to the slave holding and slave mongering States of the South. The Alabama Claims. The Putrie of June 19 publishes the following sensa- tional and highly improbable announcement:— The English Cabinet, in conformity with the opinion of tho logal advisers of the Crown, has decided-to refuse ‘tho claims of the United States government for compen- ‘gation on account of the deprodations of the Confedorate cruisers. End of the Cotton Famine. the London ‘Times, June 20.) Yeaterday a very simple ceremony marked the formal setose of a tand memorable papeage in the bi ‘ ‘mot only of this country, but even of tho world. Mr. Farnall announced to the central relief committee at ‘Manchester his recall by the poor law beard from the post of special commissioner in the cotton district, which he as now hold for three years, and the committeo ad- Journéd sine die. This proceeding amounts to an official Fecognition of the end of the great cotton famine, and it implies the breaking up of the entire system of rellef éhroughout the cotton district, The changes in the last four yoars have been so rapid tbat it is hard for us now ‘to realize the full meaning of this announcement. It was about this time four years that the prospect of the paralysis of the cotton trade was being forced upon our attention, Half a million of persons were in the ‘space of a few months reduced to the danger of sheer starvation, unless relieved by prompt and vast Mmunificence, The worst of the evil was that there was m0 assurance on which we could in any way rely that the distress would be transient. We had made up our minds not to interfere in the American war, whatever it Might cost us, and the prospects of obtaining cotton from other sources were vague and unsatisfactory. Nor did we then know how far the paralysis of this vast trade «might. affect the prosperity of the whole country, and thus d'minish the resources of bene- volence’ at the very moment when the Jost call was mado upon it. Nor, again, could we caleulate what might be the effects of such a calamity upon the cotton operatives themselves. Whether the suffering which threatened them would prove too mrch for their wence, and lead, as in former days, to lamentable out- eaka ;' whether,’ whatover might bo the power of en- duranee in the minds of the operatives, their physical powers at joast would be limited, and the diseases Which aro the satellites of famine wonid. desolate their homes; whether, lastly, the trade would ever revert to its former “Conditions, and if it did not, whether the skilled mill hands would be able to adapt themselves to other forms: -of labor—tbeso and many similar questions occasioned the deepest anxiety three years ago, and no one could bavo- imagined the apswer which these throe — plane oN —— of the nation ‘being _ impoverish it materially grew in wealth throughout the period of the deepest gloom.

The operatives, lastly, were found able as well as willing to turn their bands to -any temporary manual work which ‘ould be provided tor -them, and the want of public works in the famine dis- io ee & ready occasion for both uacful and remu- employmont.

Dowsino Sremer, June 17, 1865, Ay Lown—I have the honor to inform your lordship Ghat soverat conferences have been held between the four Canadian ministers who were deputed, under the minuto of your Executive Counc of March 24, to proceed to England to confor with her Majesty's government, on the of Cant and the Duke of Somerset, the Earl De Grey, Mr. Gindstone and myself, on the parvof her " ment. ‘ the fet subject, referred to in the minuto—that + confederation of the British North American h = on the part of the Cabinet the ass been of the determina. ton " ernment to Use ever. Fam of wee 0 ny Into effect without ‘io jay the confertoration, the geqend dolag, we entered into a full ouster. most works at Montreal from the question of the works west of that place, and from the question of @ naval arma- ment on Lake Ontario. That the execution of the whole of these works would render it necessary for them to have recourse to a loan, which could only be raised with the tee of the Im Parliament. They were ye perks to their on their return a Seopaure for , prot that the guarantee of the Imperial Parliament were given now, and that they were authorized to communicate to the Parliament of Canada the assurance that, the occa- sion arising, England will have beepered an adequate naval force for Lake Ontario, They thought that if the guarantee were not obtained now it was defensive id await the decision of the government and legislature of the united provinces, On the part of her Majesty’s government we assented to the reasonableness of the peopomel that if the province undertook the primary liability for the works of defence mentioned in the letter of Lieutenant Colonel Jervois, and showed a sufficient security, her Majesty's government should apply to Parliament for a guarantee for the amount required; and we sald that her Majesty's govern ment would furnish the armaments for the works. But we said that the desire and decision of the Pro- vincial Legislature ought to be pronounced before any ap- plication was made to the Imperial Parliament. On the subject of a naval force for Lake Ontario, we said that, apart from any question of expediency, the convention subsisting between this country and tho United States rendered it impossible for either nation to place more than the specified number of armed vessels on the lakes in times: of peace, In case of war it would, a8 a matter of course, be the duty of any government in this country to apply its means of naval defence according to the judgment it might form up on the exigencies of each particular time, and the Canadian ministers might be assured that her Majesty’s government would not permit iwelf to be found in such a position as ‘to be unable to discharge its duty in this respect. This was the only assurance the Canad-an ministers could expect, or we could give. Upon a review of the whole matter the Canadian min- isters reverted to the proposal which has been men- tioned above—that priority in point of time should be given to the confederation of the provinces. To this we, on the part of her Majesty’s government, assented. In conformity, however, with a wish strongly expressed by the Canadian ministers, we further said that if, upon future consideration, the Canadian government should desire to ant'cipate the confederation, and to propose that Canada should execute the works, they should doubtless communicate to her Majesty's government that decision, and we trusted that after what had passed in these conferences they would feel assured that any such communication would be received by usin the most friendly spirit, On the third point, the Reciprocity treaty, the Canadian ministers represented the great importance to of the renewal of that treaty, and requested that Mr. F. Bruce might be put in communication with the govern- ment of Lord Monck upon the subject. We replied that Sir F, Broce had alroady received instructions to nego- tate for a renewal of the treaty, and to act in concert with the government of Canada. On the fourth point, the subject of the northwestern territory, the Canadian ministers desired that thas terri- ‘tory should be made over to an’ undertook to negot ate with the Hudson's Bay Goinpany for the ter- mination of their rights, on comdition that the indemnity, if any, should be paid by a loan to be raised by Canada under the imperial guarantee, With the sanction of the Cabinet we assented to this proposal, undertaking that if the negot ation shoald bo snecessful we, on the part of the Crown, being satisfied that the amount of the in- demnity was reasonable and the secvrity sufficicnt, would apply to the Imperial Parliament to the ment and to guarantee the amount. On the last point it seemed sullicient that hor Majesty’s government should accept tho assurances given by the Canadian ininisters on the part of Canada, that that province is ready to devote all her resources both in men and money to the maintenance of her connection with the mother country, and should assure them in return that the imperial’ government felly acknowledged the reciprocal obligation of defending every portion of the empire with all the resozrees at its command, The Canad an ministers, in conclusion, said that they hoped it would be und. rstood that the pre: commani- cations did not in any way affect oralter the correspond- ‘ch had already passed between the imperial t and th ve! “nts of the British North American provinces On the sulyeetef the inter-olonial railway.

From the civil war in America, and from the late dis- cussions ia Parliament, the affairs of Canada and the sis. ter provinees have acquired an interest for English poli- ticians which kus been hitherto unknown. Our r aders will therefore be curious to learn what has been the re- sult of the conferences between the Canadian delegates and the British government, and in what position the two important questions of’ the confed ration between the provinces and of their fature relations, pol tical and military, wil the United Kingdom stand.’ A despaich from Mr. Cardwell to Lord Monck throws as much | ght on these topics as can be given by an offic'al ducameni, and announces arrangements which must before long be brought under the notice of Parliament, and receive the serious consideration of the British public. ‘The chicf subjects of delib ret.on are pretty accurately known. The confederation, the Reciprocity treaty, and the military and naval defence of thy provinves, have been’ discussed officially within the last fow weeks, and, we doubt not, with much the same argu. ments as in more popular qaarters. Indeed, all, the most dificult problems wihreh. can bs produced by a colon al rystem are bro ght togothor for the decision of this country by the visit of the Canadian deputation. A mother country’s claims on the obedience of colonists, their claims on her protection, the relations of each and both with a powerful independent Stats, the authority of the mother country’s representative to negotiate trbatios for a colonial community which has its own legislature aud ministers, the right of the colony to repudiate and reject arrangements that have been made for it, and, above all, the nsolubl: quostion of the military defenco of a colony against ite esa by fi a State on tho other side of the ocean, formalist of dittoulties which may well make any ministry cautious, We are Bound t) ray that the Wie gv rnm ni’ sem: ti feel hat rvery st p sould te taken with delibe ation, und at f 1 obliga’ions newrred as are If the late debates have provented the gs 1g of Indiscreet pledges and the raising of false jopes, they will not have been in vain, Tho delegates have renson to be satisfou with the good will of the home government. The Duke of > Lord Do Groy, Mr. Gladstone and Me. Cardwell condi the negotiations with then, and the result is that the colonie: have received aasurance: of their ovmple'e lilery sf action in everything hat relates t thmvelves, The prin- ciple of colonial self-government could not be carried to @greater length The colontes are to do what they wish, and this country is to give them all the assistance in Ite power. The first quostion---that of the confoderation—t apparently beset with difficulties. ‘The two Canadas havo put aside their ancient Jealousien and ao feady to meet in acommon legislature. ‘The scheme devisod by the dele- gates m the recent Intercolonial Congr.s# was ingenious, and has nearly disarmed the suspicions of the French race. But facies have arisen where they wore least expected. The delegates of the seacoast colonies had been as zealous for confederation as the Canadians. They had accepted the scheme with all ius details, and some of the most gencrous of the speeches delivered on one or two festive occasions wers by New Bronswickers and Nova Scotians, But in. theso incos tho poople on second thoughts have become unfavorable to the scheme In one of them at lenst tt has been rejected by a large of the Legislature, The project is the present interrupted. It will pro- bat carried at lust, for the advantages it presents are far greater than any province can derive from a self- ish tsolation, But all the influence of the Governor General and the persuasions of the other Colonics will be necessary to overcome this ilitberal obstinacy. ‘The opinions pf the English public on this imalter are well known, There is nothing we desire more than that the varous colonies should unite and form a new nati« ality, with English ideas and English forms of govern m iit, The tendency of communitics is towards az eration, and it 's only by this principle that the Bs provinces cau hope to and full security from foreign aggression, But it i mattcr on which we can only advise, Her Magesty’i home government has n» power to coerce even Prince Bd- word's Island tn enter into the e-nfederation against i's il just influence tn cach of its nee will be ex’rcised in favor of the project which the nation and the majority of the in- habitants of British America approve. Such is the do- cluration which Mr. Cardwell makes in his despatch.’ Thoy will “nse A oe vad means of influence to carry into effvet without the proposed confederation.’ On the question of the Reciprocity treaty the govern- ment could give a similar apsurance. Sir Frederick Bruce has ‘already received instructions to negotiate for of the treaty, und to act Im concert with the Canada,’ So far the decision of the gov- ent presents no diMfiewlty. Nor can there be much doubt that, on the subject of the northwestern terri it has taken a wise resolve. The Canadian ministers sire that this territory should be made over to Canada, and they have undertaken to negotiate with the Hudson’s Bay Company for the termination of their-righta, on the condition that the inderonity, if any, shall be paid by a loan raised in Canada yr the imy = rT - le ce Cpe mah At The Hudson’ 4 a ‘a creation of th old country, and we may wol ond a hetping hand to remove nt wesa it becomes on obstacle to the moet AG ead A gaa un Cg gg | estly do we hope that this greatest «cientite undertaking time been a matier of notoriety, has been adjudged « i H i E i : : ete ella : a Legislature ought to bo semecunent before any tion is made to the Imperial Parliament.’ can understand from Mr. Cardwell’s despatch, it is probable, however, that the whole question of forti jon at the expense of the provinces will be put off until the confederation has been actually completed.

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST ACCIDENT—THE COMMER- CIAL PROSPEOTS OF THY UNDERTAKING. {From the London Times, June 19.) At length all the preparations connected with the final departure of this great telegraphic expedition are com- pleted. On Wednesday the Amethyst left the telegraph works with the last length of 245 miles of cable on board, and on Saturday the operation of coiling this in was be- un. This work will probably last till the 22d inst. Be- lore the following spring tides sot in, apout the 6th or 7th of July, the Great Eastern will start for Valontia. There she is expected to arrive about the 9th or 10th, and there she will be met by the two ships of war appointed to con- voy her—the Terrible and the Sphinx. h these ves- sels are being fitted with the best apparatus for deep-sea soundings, with buoys and means for buoying tho end of tho cable, if ever it should become necessary, and with Bollen’s night light naval signals, with which the Great Eastern is likewise to be supplied. To avoid all chance of accident, the big ship will not approach the Irish coast, nearer than twenty or twenty-five milea, and her stay off Valentia will be limited to the time occupied in making a splice with the massive shore end, which fora length of twenty-five miles from the coast will be laid previous to her arrival. With rogard to the process of laying, it is hoped the rn may be kept throughout the whole voyage atauniform speed of six knots per hour, faster than which it would not be safe, as a rale, to ran out the cable. At lees speed than this, however, the big ship would fail of steerage way, and with a boam wind would certainly go to leeward without some counteracting in- fluence. This influence will be afforded if necessary by the paddle engines, which are to be disconnected, and the efforts of ono wheel at either side would be quite sufficient to overbalance the effects of anything but a very violent storin. This latter risk is now literally all that has to be feared. On this only doubtful point, therefore, it is grati’ying to know that Captain Ander- son js sanguine of ali going well. Yot, in this estimate of events, it must not be forgot- ten that, in the last memorable’ expedition in the Aga- mompon, midsummer was tixed on as the time when a atorm in the AUanti: was almoxt impossibte; and the re- cords of the Moterologica) Departments both here and in Amorica certainly justified such an oxpectation, as they showed that for fifty years no storm bad taken place at that time Yet it was precisely an the Zist of June that the -burricane with which the Agamemnon and Niagara had boon battling for some days ab ite bei and those on board the ili-stowed Agamemnon, at know not from hour to hour which was to be their last, Most earnestly is it to be wished that on this great occa sion the calcuiiation of averages, if not more just, may prove at least more fortunate. As far as regards the ca bie itself, there is abss ly nothing to be desir sd. ‘As rogiirds the cts of the unde’ ing, it may be begun th: ir work under the ren wed agreement with the government for a subsidy of £20,000 a’ year, and, in ad. dition, a guarantee cf eight per cent tipon’ a cab f £600,000.

The Prussian Chambers, as already stated in the Henarn, were closed June 17. The following is a summary of the speech from the Firrone, which was read by Herr Biamark. | The clearty xpreased intention of the majority of the Lower House to place difficulties in the way of the ministry bas proved detrimental to the material welfare of the country. By rejecting tho Budget and. the bills for the reorga- nization of the army, the increase of the Prussian fleet, and the expenses of the war with Denmark, the Chamber of Deputies has refused demands which the government was compelled to make. ‘The Chamber has adopted roso- lutions whieh the government cannot carry out, Instead of the desiyed understanding having been arrived at, the sexsinn closed with the impression of mutual estrangement, The government wilt continue to con- duct public aifairs according to the wants of the country, and will vigorously represent the intorests of Prussia both at home and ‘abroad.

The New Governor of South Carolina. Letter from the Italian Prime Minister on Belligerent Rights. An Appeal te the Democracy to Rally in Suppert of the President, &., &e., &e, Waseunaton, July 2, 1865. THE CONTINUED ILLNESS OF THE PRESIDENT. The health of the President was generally understood to be improving; but inquiries at the White House this evening clicited the fact that it is now worse than at any former period of his present illness, Though not in im- mediate danger his continued illness and present un- favorable symptoms awaken anxious solicitude among the few who are informed of his real condition, This was further increased by the report to-night that Surgeon General Barnes had been called in to consult with Dr. Burroughs, who has thus far been his medical attendant. THE APPOINTMENT OF GOVERNOR PERRY, OF SOUTH CAROLINA. ‘The interest in South Carolina affairs began to languish ‘8 week ago, but there was still a considerable amount of latent feeling on'the subject, developed from day to day by the various rumors put afloat by the friends of con- flicting policies. Dr. P. Mackey was generally accepted aa the real representative of the genuine Union men of the State, and he was also understood to be opposed to the appointment of either of the persons named by the delegation as cortain to be acceptable to the people at large. The members of the delegation were open to the charge of having beon active secessionists throughout the war, The Cabinet was believed to be nearly evenly divided in opinion on the propriety of making any appointment at present. Mahy influential persons were urging upon tho President and Cabine®, that inasj much as South Carolina had been foremost and steadfast in her adherence to the confederacy, retributive justice demanded that she be compelled to endure a probationary period of military government before the reins of civil authority were entrusted to her citizens. To add to the complications, stories were industriously circulated that @ widespread secret organization existed among the white inhabitants to compel all negroes to leave the State, This and similar absurdities were retailed around hotel lobbies and street corners, and sorved the mischievous purposo of their originators by inciting outside preasure against the appointment of a civil governor. Happily wiser counsels prevailed, and on Saturday the President determined to end all divcussion by the appointment of Mr. Porry, a gentleman of acknowledged ability. Fur ther Cabinet discussions could have been productive of no good. Differences of opinion wore honestly entertained among ite mombera, and the responsibility of action would have finally devolved upon Mr. Johnson. By the appointment of Mr. Perry, he bas unmistakoably manifested his determina aud.to sup:rsede miliary by civit authority thron tho entire country. Those entertaining the <trongest convictions against the wiadom of the Presiden’ accord him undoubted houesty of intent esco cheerfully in his resolve to make the tri ing the rebellious States by civil law. TUE ITALIAN PRIME MINISTEI mans. The following friendly note has been addressed by Gonoral La Marmora, the Prime Minister of Italy, to Mr Marsh, the United States Ministor in that country Fiorsnxce, June 6, 1865, govern ON BH NT Me.

Charles Mason, elair- man of the Dom i¢ National Association of this dis- tict, on behali of the President. It is intended more as a plavforus for the futire organization of the party than ‘a8 a call for (mmodiate concert of action. The address set out with declaring that in the beginning all domo fats believed that psaco and Union were compat ble and could be secured by cone'liatory measures, and that aftor the war commenced the groat mass of democrats acquiesced in it as an unavoidable calamity, to be prosecuted for the sole purpose of restoring the Union; belving that aa goon as this object was at tained the war ought to coase, It takes strong ground against conferring pon negroes the rights of citizenship, on tho ground that they are un- qualified by education, and asa race 90 greatly inferior to the whites as to lower the standard of average in- telligonce by intermingling. This is declared to be a white man’s government, and the negro a foreign ole- ment which cannot be successfully assimilated. The immediate roadinisaion of the rebellious States to the sacred circle, with all thoir rights and privileges un abridged, ts. also urged on the ground that tho federat government cannot exist while «a portion of the Statos composing it are free and another portion virtually enslaved by military government. The address declares unlimited confidence in the wisdom, integrity and democracy of President Johnson, concludiug in the following eulogistic terms: — It ts hardly a superstitious fancy which rey having been spectally ordained for this ous mission, The designs of Heaven begin wy visible throughout. At the head of the recon reunited democracy of the two sections, Andrew bon is, we believe, destined to repair and restore those cherished matitutions which have been so fearfully shat tored and seemingly overturned, and to receive the un dying gratitude of & reunited Country and the benedic tions of all future ages. Be it ours to share in the con- sciousness of having contributed to the same result, RECRIPTS FROM PASSPORTS. Mr. A. Tunstall Weich, in charge of the passport office of the State Department, informs mo that over twelve thousand dollars have been collected for the United States Treasury as passport fees by himself alone during the quarter just ended. Our people have been tushing abroad at a surprising rate for two months past, ‘but the applications are slightly falling off. Last year the gross receipts of his dosk wero only a triffle over fifteen thousand doliars. A large proportion of pasaports re- cently granted were to porsovs bound for German porta, en route to Berlin and Vienna RESTITUTION. ‘An occasional instance occurs of restitution for con- seionce sake of withheld government taxes.

THE FREEDMEN AT ARLINGTON. A radical change of has beon inaugurated in the management of freedmen's village at Arlingtom since the Ist of May. Previous to that time its in- habitants were supplied at government expenso with wood, clothing and rations, and wore allowed thoir house rent free. Since then they have been furnished nothing, and have been charged a nominal rent for the tenements. Instead of remaining a source of ex- penditure, the village now affords a small income, ¥ORD'S THEATRE NOT PURCHASED BY THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees for the purchase: of Ford's theatre, held yesterday, the following resola- tion was passed :— Resolved. That this Board, inted at the conven- tion of the Young Men’s Christian Associations at Phila- delphia, at the suggestion of parties not resident im Washington, relying upon the co-o] promised them, entered into negotiations with Mr. and obtained a formal refusal of the property until July ‘Their appeal to the public, so far as it has boom possible to make it in the short time allowed, hag met with so little encouragement that they do not feel authorized to close the bargain by making the first pay- ments. They, however, do not relinquish the hope of securing at an early day the requisite funds to erect a memorial building in the capital of the nation as the most fitting testimonial of the nation’s love for our mar- tyred President. With this object firmly in mind we wil only return their subscriptions to those who may. de- siro i Ford intends reopening bis theatre a week hence. News from Chicago.
