In theCanadian Parliament yesterday, the Hone of Assembly proposed to go into socret session on the aud Ject of the Fenian prisoners, The proposition was warmly ‘argued pro and con, and Mr, Brown explained it by say- ing that there was a HxaaL correspondent in the galior- jes, and in view of the relations oxisting botween Can- ada and the United States it wns necessary to prevent statements prejudicial to the interests of the country from appearing in the public prints in America. The school question being then brought up it appeared to be in decided disfavor among the mem- bers, Mr. Galt’s resignation, ag Minister of Firance, was announced by the Attorney General, the reasou for the resignation being his dinsent from the coalition on the choo! bill. The bill was finally withdrawn. The liberals claim this as a defeat of the ministerial party. The ‘atter were lao compelled to modify their poley pn the Currency bill} and in view of theao defeats {t is pro- bable they will all resign. It is thought that the session will clase on Saturday to provent the inquiry into the Fort Erie campaivn. The Democratic State Convention for the State of Maine was hold in Portland yesterday.

A letter from Lieutenant Governor Voorhies, Major General Herron and Mayor Monroo, of New Orleans, to the President, is published in our tel graphic despatches this morning, which places the blame of the riots in that oly on the parties to whom it rightly belon-s, The letter says, among other things, that the press of New Orl-ans, exospting those of radical proclivities, exhorted the pooplo provious to the rists to inantain good order and refrain from any interference with the convention whatever, General Herron, who signe ‘his, will be remembered as @ taajor genoral in the federal army during the late war, Oguring principally in Arkan- fas and Misrouri.

In such cireumstances what will Ministers dot They have but two courses open to them. They must either introduce a Reform bill of their own or give place to those on whom the task would seem more naturally to de- volve, Disraeli, who is the master spirit of the new Cabinet, promised the people that if any bill was Introduéed it woulé be an “Enzlis) Reform bill” There may be more chance ot re- form being obtained under the tory govern- mont than under that of Lord Russell, witb all its professions of I'beralism. The force of cir cumstances may compel the present admin's tra‘ion to abandon their rigid conservatism in favor of popular rights, There is nothing in the antecedents of the present govern- mont which forbids them to introduce » messure of reform. Lord Derby took an active part in the passing of the first Re- form bill, and although he has long since fallen from bis first love and grown in ob- s'ructiveness as he has grown in years, he yet gave a reluctant consent to the Reform bill of his colleague in 1859. There is nothing incon- sistent in Mr. Disraeli making a fresh attempt to supply the defects of his “fancy franchise.” Disraeli has thegnost comprehenzive and en- lightened mind in the government. The same instincts and class of thought wh'ch places the Hebrew race foremost among the financiers and statesmen of the world directs the course of Disraeli and lifts him far alBove his aristo- cratic colleagues. Hobrew intellect has de- veloped itself for centuries past in Europe. It has given ita Fould and a Rothschild. Spain and Portugal have received their best finance ministers from the Hebrew rao’, and now, in the English Chancellor of the Exchequer, we see the guiding talent of that poople prominently displayed, Lord Stanley is notoriously a liberal at heart, and he is retained in his present political con- nection only by the strength of family ties, But wll the reactionary party, with whom they are compelled to act, permit the more _liberal- minded of the present government to move in the direction of retorm? Not, we fear, willing- ly. -Even if such a step were taken anda tory Reform bjt introduced, what chances are there that the measure would pass or that the coun- try would accept it at their hands? Still thé Derby government may be forced to try the experiment. The Kentucky Election. The meagre returns received thus far from Kentucky indicate the success of Alvin Duvall, who ran ostensibly as the democratic candi- date for the Court of Appeals. This was the only State office to be filled at this election. ‘The candidates were Alvin Duvall and General E. H. Hobson. The former claimed to be tho regular democratic candidate, and the latier the standard bearer of thé Union Johnson party. Political affairs, however, are in such a confased condition in Kentucky that it is bard to determine where the candidates stood in reference to the iseues in the Northern States, Were we 4 accept the assertions of the stump orators on each side as representing the cor- rect position of their opponents, we would be compelled to accept Duvall as the candidate of the rebels and Hobson as the representative of the radicals, The Duvall orators resorted to every device to show that the success of Hobeon would be the triumph of the radicals in Congress and the endorsement of their course, While,on the ober hand, the Hobson | orators denied this charge and retorted with the assertion that the snecess of Duvall would be the triumph of the old Breckinridge seces- H sionisia, These accusations, however, are sim- ply the usual party electioneering tricks, and ; part of the custom in vogue all over the coun- Cee EU EEEE SESS BSSEEeeee os try of trying to prove that the candidate of ; men and measures has always been io arrear oe rife among Wuglish yachtsmen. They the opposite party is the greatest rascal out of | of their importance, Just look at his tchedule | have learned that the Emperor Napoleon pro- manner in which the extrem» radical papers in Cincinn :ti advoeated the cause of Hobson. While to all appearances Judge Duvall was the candidate of the old secession party of the State, yet it is quite apparent thas the result turned upon the single point—hatred of the radicals in the North, The issue at the close of the canvass was narrowed down to that point. The supporters of Hobson were unable to convince the people that they were not in sympathy with the party that rule in the pres- ent Congress, and on this they were defeated. It was sufficient for the people that the radical pepers in Obio and those republican members of Congress from Kentucky who voted with Thad Stevens and Sumner advocated the eleo- tion of General Hobson. This was a load that he could not shake off, and the result, we pre- sume, will be the election of the democratic candidate by (rom ten to twenty thousand ma- jority. This is but the foreshadowing of the course of political events elsewhere, The fall campnigns everywhere will all reveal the fact that the disrust of the people with the course of the radical faction will override and over- shadow all other issues, The people were de- ceived last year by the professions of the re- publicans of supporting President Johnson’s restoration policy. They now see what there 1s In their promises, and do not propose to give them an opportunity to practise this de- ception upon them agsin. Hence we find the people in Kentucky nof only repudiating the radicals but defcating all who have even the appearance of #mpathizing with them. Far! Russell In and Out of OMce. Earl Russell’s speech at the dinner of the Cobden Club is deliciously characteris‘ic of that time-serving statesman. Of the whole whig party there is no man who 80 fully exem- plifies its mean, truckling characteristics. That party has monopolized power for » quarter of a century, just as the radicals have done here for the last four years, by @ policy of ‘alse pretences. Of all the double-faced, insincere and tricky leaders who have managed its affairs, the little gentleman who played second fiddle to Lord Grey and who presided at the Foreign Office under Lord Palmerston, has been the most slippery. His name has, in short, become a synonyme among the English -people for all that is shifting and unreliable. Some wag, in view of his declarations on the subject of Reform, gave him the title of “Finality John.” Every one roared at the hit, for, like the Dutchman’s flea, it has always been Impossible to fix him. If there was one thing more than another that betrayed the hollowness of this professed liberal and writer on constitutional govern- ment, it was the course that he pursued towards this country during the rebellion. True to his aristocratic instincts, he did all that he could to help the South, struggling to establish a slave aristocricy. His party professions, bis writ- ings, and his parliamentary declarations were all forgotten in presence of tho fact that the issue involved in the struggle was one of patri- cian against democratic interests. It is true that he has since retracted all this, but what has he not advocated and recanted during his forty years of political Micawborism? His speech at the Cobden dinner is one of | the richest iustrations of the character of the man that his varied political career has pre- sented. We all kuow how meanly he acted towards the distinguished reformer, in whose honor the dinner was given, dur- ing the early part of big career. It was not till he became a power in the State that he recognized his transcendent abilities and iis infiuence with the people. Then, as be tells us, if the opportunity bad presented itself | he wonld have offered him a position in the | j adminisiration, Karl Rusecll’s appreciation of | jail, In making up an impartial view of the | of toreigu policy at this dinner and contrast it case it ix therefore necossary te leave the in @ great measure onl of the question.

On Saturday the members of the New York Yacht Club start upon their annual squadron cruise, We wish them bon voyage and will sug- rest something for them to think about and tlk over during their sail, The article from Hunt's Yachting Magazine, which we publish in another column this morning, is full of interest to our yach'smen. It was writven in reply to our editorial calling attention to the fact that the cup won by the famous America is still in the possession of our Yacht Club, and al- thouzh it is held as a challenge cup the bold Britons have not yet ventured to attempt to take back the trophy. The desire among the more active and enterprising yachtsmen of England for ocean matches seems, yust at pres- ent, upon the increase; but it is only a desire and is accompanied by a lack of energy against which such authorities as Hunt’s Magazine ve- hemently protest, The English admit that they “suffered an unmistakable defeat at the hands of American yachtsmen,” and they have been admitting it for fifteen years; but in all that long time they have not had spirit enough to cross the Atlan'ic, race for the America challenge cup and settle to their own satisfigtion that question, which we regard as already decided, whether they are able to build and gail a yacht in England fit to compete with our American clippers. They “confess to a confidence in their yach{-builders and sailors;” but they have not put that confidence to the only practical test. The article which we reprint shows, how- ever, tbat the British are beginning to feel that this prolonged inactivity bas greatly leasened their reputation. “Surely this is a subject that will not be suffered to lie dormant,” says the Yachting Magazine; “the honor and spirit of one of our greatest and most national sport- ing institutions are at stake, and we unhesitat- ingly say that every day that is suffered to elapse. without some measures being taken to restore the prestige of maritime supremacy to our yacht ficet is more than a reproach to us as yachtsmen, and calculated to bring into con‘empt our boasted superiority as sailors.” This is trong language; stronger, per- haps, than we sbould have permitted ourselves to use towards the British yachts- men, since our object is not to anger them, but to arouse them to action. But we are very certain that if an English yacht had come into our waters and carried off the -prize from our finest fleet we should not have permitted that trophy to be unreclaimed for fifteen years. - And the worst of it is that, according to their own account, ths English “have all the re- sources: necessary to enable them to retrieve their defeat” and only want the pluck to un- dertake the task. Thoy say that they have “money enough, scleace, mechanical skill and. material ;”” they point to their thousand yachts und their leading yachtsmen; but still they do not come over, and “the thirty-nine yachts that rendezvous off the Elysian Fields of Hoboken” continue to keep the America’s cup in their custody, while the Defferins. the Lamonte, the Kavanagha, the Hughes, the Harveys, the Man- hams and the ether distinguished ya: ting’ | } celebritios of Kayleud sail to every coraer ot the world except this. These facts, placed wery forcibly before the yachting community in the article from which we quote, can acarcely fail to have some prac- tical reanit. We are told that the subject is at pores to give a grand regatta at some point on the French const a4 one of the principal fea very valuable prizes, and they shrink from “the national disgrace” ef appearing there “with the bargee of England second to the stars of America.” ‘They are anxious to win back that “silver monament of their defeat” now in our ' possession before entering the lists against o« | for the Freneh prize, and they @o not waut this | year to pass withont recovering their lost prex- tige. At the meme time thny vse not over bold, for they “cannet afiord to suffer a second defeat.” Yet, while we heartily and cordiolly invite them to come, we sin- corely believe that @ gecond defeat is in | store foc them whenever they summon {™ courage to accept our clalleage.

She had her reward, for afier her gracious Majesty had enjoyed his imperial hospitalities and received bWs presents and blessing, she departed with the declaration that not the half of King Solonvon’splendors and merits bad been told her. We presume that Queen Emma is returning homeward with an equally exalted opinion of the power, the wisdom and good- ness of Victoria, and that it will not be to the disadvantage of England in her future rele- tions with the Sandwich Isjands. In this view we are glad to hear that Queen Emma will be received here with the national honors which are enstomarfly paid to & sove- reign. But this refers to the United States forts and ships of the harbor. Our city aa- thorities, after their honors to the Prince of Wales, Kossuth, Billy Bowlegs and the Ja- panese Tommy and delegation of No-kamis, ought not to forget the honors and courtesies flue to this distinguished female royal visitor from the Pucific Ocean, Nor should they con~ found her with those horrible Feejees, best known from their sanguinary man-eater, In a word, our city fathers ought to try to distinguish themselves in their reception of Queen Emma, and so pass her on to the hospi- talities of the White House at Washington. We, too, have important co.nmercial relations with the Sandwich Islands, and these, as well as, the attentions due to this distinguished stranger, should suggest to all sancerred « Fire ia Brooklyn—One Man and Two Horses Burned to Death.
