With regard to ee of arbitration It vas but due to the noble lord to remember the dificuities of nie postion. nally when Mr. Sevcard offered to the war was ‘ing, it was for the of the American government that the question should be it was for our interest, to terminate the controversy, But the po- sition of the American govern! had changed. fell back from ition of advocates of rent rights to their standpoint of a great Power, and advocates accordingly ot privileges of neutrals. Hence the noble lord was now placed in the position of m: cordance with our own interests w! government had refused when made cans in accordance with thetr int at the mo- ment. He did not for a moment sympathize with the complaint of the American government in what they called our praniahure recognition of the belligerent rights of the Confederates; but he did not think the now broken + government was u one stated by the noble lord, He did not believe they expected so absurd as engening that, We should state there was no civil war raging at the time of the recognition. The American gov- ernment did not allege that there was no civil war raging at that time. What they did allege was that there was no war raging at sea. They said it was . to upon assumption of what might take place; but you did so by proclaiming your neutrality in a war which had not then begun, and which, for aught you know, never might have be- es. He thought that was an unsound opinion, but it was one held by aman in America of very great intelligence, He it here observe that though Mr. Adams had protested against the Ls aoe and though Mr. Seward had subsequently referred to the matter, the first official despatch on the subject from the American government, was written in April, 1865, In that despatch it was stated that the dispute between the countries had _had its origin in this country hav- ing acknowledged the Confederates as belligerents they had a single vessel of their own. He thought there was reason for bellev- ing that the American goveruament were mfstaken in the position they took. He was not ashamed to confess that during the struggle he was a partisan, in col juence of views on the slavery question. Onthe 9th of May, 1861, he pnt a question to the (oat on the subject, and in reply the late Sir . C. Lewis stated that the proclamation would be issued certainly at that time. ‘The issuing of the proclamation appeared to himself and other friends of the North as not an unfriendly act on the part of our executive towards the government of the United States. (Hear, hear.) Therefore, he could not agree in the 0) mm Which Mr. Seward had formed of that roceeding. But as the point was one which warmly terested the North, before the publication of the Queen’s proclamation he had heard that letters of marque were about to be issued in this country by Mr. Davis, acting for the Confederates, and he had been anxious to ascertain the light in which British vessels sailing under such letters would be regarded. He had been Informed that the crews of such vessels would ‘be looked upon as pees and he believed there was no doubt that would have been the case fifty years ago. He thought the noble lord, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, expected too much of Mr. in his Koger of November 29, 1867, Mr. Seward said the United States government was distinctly informed by Lord Stanley that they must altogether waive their conviction that the procla- mation was not justified. He distinctly understood Mr. Seward to complain that as a preliminary to an arbitration on the Alabama claims the nobie lord, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, required of him to waive his conviction that a proclamation was pre- mature and contrary to international law. In etfect the noble lord said to Mr. Seward, I will not refer the other matters to arbitration, but you acknowledge yourself wrong on the grounds that you have con- stantly taken to the proclamation having been premature and contrary to international law. Lord SHANLEY.—I did not. require that; I only said Lobjecied to have that question before the arbitrator. (Hear, hear. Mr. W. E. FoRSTER would infer from the noble lord's own despatch that he went further than that, and he believed that Mr. Seward had arrived at the same conclusion, Again, as to not referring the question to arbitration, while he thought we had the clearest case on the point itself, he conld not see why we should object to make that case before an arbitration. There might be an objection to such a course if arbi- tration was merely meant to be a mode of making confession where We knew we were wrong; but he believed that the parties to the treaty of Paris in- tended that arbitration should in future be regarded as a means of deciding disputes between two nations by the intervention of a third party without war or threat of war. In that line he trusted arbitration ever | as to would henceforth be regarded, and therefore he could: not see that the fact of our thinking ourselves right was any reason why we should decline ar- Diiration as between” ourselves and another nation also interested in the matter, but taking the opposite view. However, Mr. Seward did not ask for so much, He thought Mr. Seward’s last despatch admitted of a different interpretation from that which might naturally be given to his first despatch, He appeared to require there should be arbitration on the question of the proclamation as well as that of the claims against the Alabama. But he thought that the noble lord’s arguments on the subject of re- cognition must have had thetr effect on Mr. Seward. In his last despatch he either changed his ground or defined it soas to admit of a different interpretion being given to his demand from that which the wording of his first despatch seemed to require. In his last despatch he only claimed to make use of his. opinion on the recognition as bearing on the case of the vessels. His impression was that if the noble lord had replied, to the effect that although we could not for a moment think of referring the question of our sovereign power to recognize the Con- federate Stat and that we did not think such recognition had anything to do with the departure of the Alabama, yet Mr. Seward might state his opinion on’ ihe subject as an argument to be taken into consideration, although in our jndgment it was not a sound one. If he had made such a reply there could be little doubt that the representative of the United States at the arbitration would have felt that Mr. Seward’s argument was an unsound one, and in that event we should have heard no more about it, But as Mr. Seward stood comiitted to his opinion, it was hardly possible that he would abandon It at tie bidding of the noble lord. After all this was only a hitch, and he believed some mode of surmounting the difficulty might be devised. Everybody in England wished to have the difficulty amicably arranged, us did every arty in the United States, with the exception of the Fenians. The noble lord was himsel! ost waxious to settle, and if his suppositions were cor- rect, that all the United States government wanted was to make use of certain argaments, he hoped the noble lord would not allow the nego- uations to break off on that ground, but would re- serve to himself the right of disproving these argu- ments, We are also to consider whether this matter could be settled otherwise than by arbitration, (Hear, hear.) He thought that if a statesman of high posi= | tion were sent to America with power from the noble lord the matters in dispute might be arranged, Of course it was not for him to point out the exact node in whieh this was to be done, but he trusted the noble lord would take the question into considera- tion. (Hear, hear.) G, Bowyer and Mr. Sanrorp then addressed the House. Mr. Mrit while acknow! | Ing displayed towards America by the honorable member for Malden (Mr. Sanford), t gbt he and other speakers had quite overlooked th damental question—namely, the distinction between jue ship- ping of contreband articies and the use of a neutral country a3 the basis of military or naval operations, Hear, hear.) It was quite true that a vessel might | have been sent to one of the belligerents just as mili- tary stores were sent to another without any viola- | tol of international law; but there was this condl- tion, that the ship should go direct to the port of the rent before commencing hostilities, Now in case of the Alabama this country was used for the fitting out val hag opr against the com- meree of ty The honorable member frou Dundatk (Sir G. Bowyer) appeared to think this would be fair if boti parties enjoyed the same advantage; but in point of fuct only one side enjoyed the benefit of it. A neutral power onght not to permit its territory to be used for the fitting out of a hostile expedition. If the Alabu: had been fitted out in a Confederate port, the North, on receiving the intelligence of it, might have intercepted the departare or have born- barded the harbor, but being fitted out in this coun- try they had no opportunity of getting at tt. Had we permitted this wilfully it would have clearly been @ breach of neutrality. (lear, hear.) The honorable meinber for Maiden had blamed the noble lord for consenting to refer to arbitration the question of the violation of our municipal law, with which a foreign country © ve nothing todo. The noble lord, however, was not open to any such blaine. What Ing the good feel- we were bound to do Was to make our municipal law snificient for the faltiiment of our international obligations. It was not sufticient al- ready, and this was the only ground of complaint which conid be urged. The question was whether we were bound by international law to prevent cer- tain things from being done, and whether, if we were #0 bound, we did all that we could to fulfil the obli tion, He congratulated the House and the public that the issue between the United State, and this country was an exceedingly small one, and that this small point alone prevenied ihe settlement of a great question. He did not think there was much room for blame in any quarter, This discussion had brought out the evidence that the two parties to the correspondence did not understand one another, (ilear, hear.) The noble lord, a8 it seemed, had not thoroughly understood what he United States demanded, and the United States = government had not understood what the noble lord refased. He appre hended that the United States had never demanded that the question wieiier we were premature in recognizit belligerent right of the Confederates should be referred to arbitration, It could not be maintained that our recognition, even if premature, wonld be @ violation of international law. He had again and iitted by Americans, and even in the writings of Mr. Seward himself, that our recognition of the belligerent righta of the South was a thing about the truth of which we had by internatic law A right to decide for ourselves. It was, however, ured that what we did was un- friendiy—precipitate, and in its precipitation was unprecedented, But he was net aware it i been contended! that we had thereby committed apy violation pf internauonal jaw For if we were to Soe She oxelusion of every frivolous or: Druarane ent he there woul be avery long such stipulations.

This, however, was only apart of the case, and he cordially welcomed the hints thrown out by the noble lord as to the probability of solving this question in some other way than by arbitration. d, he did not see for what arbi- tration was specially required in this country at present. Who were disposed to deny that we owed reparation in some sort of degree to the United States? It was quite clear that the noble lord was of this opinion, ‘This, therefore. was not a case in which arbitration was wanted. If we owed any- thing we must pay it; and what we wanted was some “one to say, not whether we it to » but how inuch, and this would be best decided hi by arbitra. tion, but by a mixed commission, (Hear, Meee): Ep rinciple of such @ commission would be to inves- Eee AN ee Ra wi er and Ww! nothing particular to do with the depredations of the Alabama, and to in what damage the commerce of the United States had received fram our negligence in allowing the Alabama to leave our porte. He could not but think that there was a great increase of good and friendly feeling on both sides of the water. There were few people in this country who did not believe the arbitrator would decide against us, and that would be exceedingly bad for the interest of this country that he should doso. (Hear, hear.) In such a state of affairs, if some person, he would not say his honorable friend, the mem- ber for Birmingham, not unacceptable to the Americans, were sent to them, and if nego- tions were reopened on the basis of an admission that we owed them reparation, and that the object was merely to ascertain the amount, he could not believe there would be any considerable dimicuity in arriving ata settlement without going beyond the two despatches, He earnestly hoped that something of this kind was intended in the hint which Mr. Seward had thrown out. The | ohare point for consideration was that there should @ settle- ment of what was the real law of nations on this matter, and that question was settled when we ad- mitted that reparation was due from us. If this country admitted that we owed reparation for acts which the Alabama, without any intention on our part, was enabled to commit, then a question of in- ternational law which might again be the subject of quarrel would, so far as these two countries were concerned, be forever settled. (Cheers.) Mr. GLADSTONE—The observations I have to make are very few, and they will be confined to the point before us. I cannot, however, allow the debate to close without expressing my obligations to my hon- orable friend the member for Reading for the ver temperate and able manner in which he brought this subject before the House. 1am bound also to express my obligations to the noble Lord the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on account of the statement which he has made here. That was a ot of the most thorough equity, both to those who preceded him in oftice and those with whom he has come in con- tact during these very dificult negotiations, (Hear, hear.) In referring to the proceedings of Ear! Russell he fairly stated the difference made by time and circumstances in the nature of the same prpoeat when it proceeds from the same parties. aring that in mind I think | may admit that the noble lord, when he determined to make his proposal of arbitration, exercised a wise discretion and with- out in any di compromising the honor of this country took astep which was likely to lead to the termination of a difficulty of a very serious charac- ter, I listened with great respect to the speech of my honorable friend who has just sat down, and there was one material point in which I con- cur. I cannot understand from. the papers on what precise point it was that the Higa tions came to a close. My honorable friend, how- ever, put a construction upon the expressions used by Mr. Seward in declining to waive his title to bring a certain question before the arbitrators, which was entirely different from the construction of the noble Lord. I must own that on reading these papers, having no other source of information open to me, I am not able to decide what was really the meaning of Mr. Seward and in what manner he in- tended to treat the question of belligerent rights when it should come before the arbitrator. If he in- tended so to treat it as to obtain the Judgment of the arbitrator upon the question we were justified in our recognition, then that is one respect of the case; but if Mr. Seward Intended to treat it as a matter o! collateral illustration and to show, incidentally, the mischief which resulted to the United States a8 @ consequence of that act, or to show that we were not pooh ed alive to our duty as neutrals, then the question has assumed quite a diiferent aspect. I own that if the effect of the speech of the noble lord had been to leave the House without any rospect of the practical resumption of the nego- - tlation I should have regarded with very great pain and regret what appeared to me to be an ambiguity quite beyond any power of solution by us. My friend who has just sat down may be right in the construc- tion which he puts on the words of Mr. Seward. If we look narrowly at the words of Mr. Seward in his letter of the 29th of November, 1867, all that he refuses is to waive, by a preliminary admission, his tiue to contend before the arbitration that the Queen’s proclamation was not justified. 1 think T may proceed with safety so faras to congratulate the nobie lord on the effect which he evidently bad pro- duced in the mind of Mr. Seward between the date at which Mr. Seward first proposed to refer the whole coutroversy as it originally stood in the papers and the date at which he made the comparatively limited claim that he should not be required by a preliminar: admission to waive his contention before the arb tration; that the matter of the Queen's proclamation is relevant to the main issue. 1am bound, however, to say that in one opinion expressed by my honor- able friend who has Doe spoken [ am not able to concur, and I notice it simply because it is not de- sirable that a misunderstanding should exist on a point of fact. Lunderstood my honorable friend to say that he Me ee there were no, or at least but few, members of this House who would hesitate to admit that reparation in some form or other is due fre us to the United States in the matter of the hama; and he treated the speech of the noble Jord as having conveyed on the part of the noble Jord the admission thai although we might go before the arbitrator, it would be with the expectation that arbitration would be against us). I confess, sir, that whether rightly or wrongly, 1 did not so under- siand the speceh of the noble lord. (Hear hear) But whether | understood rightly or wrongly the noble Jord’s speech, I must frankiy own that although I should be thoroughly satistled if this question can be brought before the judgment of a tribunal more tm- partial than our own, Yet I certainly am not pre- pared to make the admission which my honorable friend thinks will universaliy and without question be made. The reparation as due from us to America Inthe matteroftie Alabama question,of whether what may fairly be called lacues can be charged against us in the case, I take to question which » be referred. undoubtedly, if we are all of opini it majority of us are of opinion that the arbitrator is to decide against us, the meaning of that is that we are of opinion we have committed an_ international Wrong; aud if we have committed such a wrong then we ought not to go before the arbitrator at all. (Hear, hear.) Bat we should by action of our own tender reparation. (Hear, hear.) Ido not at all wonder that the government of the United Siates should feel that they ave a cause of complaint in the case of the Alabama. On the other hand, | confess it appears to me that when we sro before an arbiirator, if we do go before him, we ing do so witha perfectly good and clear conscience, pre- pared to demand that if any failure or miscarriage has occurred—and no doubt some failure or miscar- riage did oecur—it was a failure or miscarriage of such a nature as is necessarily incidental to all administration of laws by human hands, and that we may very with perfect honor abide the whatever it may be, (Hear, hear.) 1 confess also that | am afraid, if I rightly understand my honorable friend, that he was rather sanguine in his assumption that by admitting the claim of the United States to com- pensation for the damage inflicted by the Alabama, we should tpso facto secure the settlement of these dimeu!t and controverted questions of international law for the fature, (Hear, hear.) I own it seems to me that if any such geueral settlement is to be had in the first place, it cannot be had through the mere reference of any disputed question arising between England and the United States and = confied to them alone, (Hear, hear). A great question of international law. No anthority can sufice to rule without the concurrence of all the Powers, or, at any rate, all the principal, and espe- cially ail important maritime Powers. (Hear, hear.) ‘Therefore I think we inust he very careful lest we should assume the matter, which is in the hands of the noble lord, to be admitting of easter settlement than it will be really found to be. What, in truth, is the construction to be put upon these letters is a matter which we could not now critically pursue, even had we lost more confidence in the judgment and the intentions of the noble lord than, [am happy to admit, is the case, (Hear, hear.) This, at least, I think T am perfectiy safe in saying, that we were all glad to hear the closing sentences of the noble lord's speech, (Hear, hear.) From those closing sentences I infer that, although the corres- ondence may have drop] in the special ge Heular forms in which it appears before us, yet the friendly and amicable prosecution of the question has not dropped at all, and that there is now in the hands of her Majesty's government a communication from the government of the United States, which communication is likely to pass into its further stages, and which will be, or at least may be, effec- tual, and, as far as we can judge from the manner in which it has been begun, for the settiement of this question. (Hear, hear.) Sir, if that is 4o I can only say I think that while on the one hand we have every reason to believe that the honor and in- terest of this country will be safe in the keep- ing of the noble lord, the noble lord, on his part, may rest perfectly assured that there will be in every part of this house, as well as eve! class of the ‘people, @ disposition to strengthen sors a3 well as to those with w! nication, with which I commenced the jew remarks Thave made, (Hear, hear, The motion was then wit wR, LECTURES LAST NIGHT. Love, Courtship and Marriage. Last evening the first of @ course of three lectures was delivered in the North Baptist church, corner of Christopher and Bedford streets, by the Rev. Dr. Burchard, on “Love, Courtship and Marriage.” Al- though the weather, not to say anything of the hor- rible condition of the streets, was exceedingly un- propitious, there was a large audience, who during the course of the lecture gave frequent tokens of their interest and approbation of the subject. Strange to observe, however, the subject of courtship was not new to most of them; for at least three-fourths of those present had already Yeo) their probationary exercises, and were beyond the stage either to woo or win The revere Gencewan commepced his discourse with an eloqi eulogium upon love, its inspirations and emotions. Referring to the fair sex generally he said that Ameriea was the Paradise of women. In no other country in the world—not even France, where pales ons was proverbial—had woman so much jom, 80 much respect, so much protection, or so much real tunity for inno- cent enjoyments as in Amefica, He described the principles which should bs Syed courtships and which, first of all, should emanste from love; for love was the talisman which seldom failed to beget love. Flirtation he Coe nd condemned, and pointed out the evil effects of that system unfortunately pursued by many. Love should invigorate the energies of the soul and stimulate one to the attainment of superior excellence. He was an earnest advocate of the mar- riage state. Young men looked forward to it as the ne plus ultra of cay felicity, and not without foe reason. He d in pathetic terms the ppiness of home, and drew @ beautiful periee of the connubial state generally. Among a few sound practical suggestions he showed that love alone should be the “at incentive to mai , all other considerations being set aside; that the first unkind word should never be uttered, then the second would not come at all. The lecture, which was in- terspersed with humorous and pathetic anecdotes, ‘Was listened to with much attention. A New System of Elevating Water—Chucks— Gold. The Polytechnic branch of the American Institute held a meeting last evening at the Cooper Institute to review first ‘New Inventions and Discoveries,” and secondly to listen to a paper by Professor A. L. Fleury on “Gold, its History, Nature and Relation- ship to other Elements, and the Best Method for its Extraction.” The room was fully occupied at the hour advertised for the opening of business, which, without preliminary notice, was commenced by the presentation on the part of Dr. Cole of a patented contrivance for elevating water by means of hydro- static pressure, through @ multiplication of syphons, from one to one thousand feet, if found necessary. The Doctor, while he admitted that there was nothing new in the theory, held that the manner im which he had applied it was sufficiently peculiar to be called novel. The invention, which consisted of syphons and air chambers without vaives and in which the water that charged it was found ex- ceedingly sensitive to the touch, was admired; but the mechanical critics present seemed to look upon it as a philosophical toy ot little or no value in the world of use. On the retirement of Dr. Cole a gentleman presented @ “chuck” for use in lathes, which he considered an improvement on its predecessors. Those present seemed to coincide with the speaker, no one offering any serious objections to the “chuck,” at which no doubt its advocate chuckled. Professor A. L. Fleury then read his paper on gold, in which he at- tem] to show in as popular language us he could employ that quartz, in which gold was coinciden- tally found in ¢lose proximity to the sulphurates, was of aqueous origin, and not, as is usually held, of igne- ous formation, Quartz was a combination of sul- phides, silicum, hydrates, oxides and a white earthy substance into’ Which gold was often found pro- jected, the whole being acted on by the ozone of the atmosphere. ‘Gold, the lecturer held, was found in a moleccular, crystailine state, amophrous, but metal- lic, Like plumbago, lampblack and the diamond, all carbon, it had also been detected, but so impalpable as to lose its granulated state and to be atomic. Gold was found, he also contended, in other than the metallic state, and that, like platinum, it undoubt- edly derived its origin from the decomposition of silicates, The lecturer continued his arguments and illustrations until ten o'clock, to the general enlight- enment and pleasure of his audience. Downfall of the Monarchy and Louls Phi- lppe. The first of a series of descriptive historical lec- tures on France since 1848 was delivered last evening at the Everett Rooms, corner of Thirty-fourth street and Sixth avenue, by Mr. Tripp. The subject of the lecture was the “Downfall of the Monarchy and Lonis Philippe. Owing, probably, to the misera- ble state of the weather there was a very slim andi- ence present, the majority of which, however, were Jadies. The lecturer merely rehearsed the various interesting details of the French yevolution, which had for its fearful results the downfall of Louis Philippe, the establishment on the ruins of the mon- archy of the republic under the Presidency of Lamar- tine, and, finally, the return of the Napoleonic 4: nasty to power. The touching scenes that took place in the pi eraclane King when the popular tumuit had reached its height, the scenes in the convention when the two little princes were brought into the Assembly Hall, and the escape of the King as simple Jonn Smith were described in a very vivid manner by the lecturer, who spoke as ap authority on the subject, he happening to be in Paris at the time of the flight of the King and Queen. Louis a the lec- turer described as a good husband, a kind father, and a virtuous man, endowed with a mind of great | May 2 and culture. His downfall he ascribed to the fact that he was unable, notwithstanding his many great qualities of heart and head, to win over “that national sentiment which is the power behind the throne,” and “failing to conciliate that patriotism of the national heart," which is the security of a gooa government, or to remedy the wrongs under which the peo le were suffering during the latter part of his reigh. California aud Its Resources—Lecture by J. HB. Warwick. J. Hi. Warwick, of San Francisco, delivered his second lecture on “California, its Mines and Mana- factures,” last evening at Steinway Hall, Owing to the inclemency of the weather the audience was ex- ceedingly small, and consisted mostly of gentlemen, more or less interested in mining. The lecturer had compiled for the occasion a digest of the history of the mining interest in California from the date of the discovery of gold and the gold fever which followed to the introduction of quartz mining as an clement of business in develop. ing the resources of the State, The discussion of quartz mining and its profits succeeded, after some history of the rise and decline of placer Sigaing. It was at first thought quartz mining could not be made profitable, large fortunes having been lost in it before practical experience suceceded in developing any practical results, Capitalists, American and European, having at the first lost heavily in the effort to develop the quartz diggings of California, a@'lall in the activit ‘hat interest for several years ‘was the conseque The failure of Adams & Co., the great pioneer express company of California, had the result also to stop for the time ail development of the mines, and for some time business was ata stand- still, Gradually, however, a revival of the effort to develop the quartz mines followed the general inac- tivity, and as eariy as 1856 several quartz mines had been successfully and profitably operated, The proiits resultant from quartz mining were considerably in excess of what was generally sup- 3 and at this juncture the speaker made a comparison (statistical) of the recetpts of several of these mines as balanced against their expenditures: since 1860, exhibiting in several cases receipts to the amount of from $50,000 to $200,000, while the expen- ses of working had not averaged one-fourth of the amount. The lecturer went on with this subject to ex- plain the present system of quartz mining, the amount of capital engaged in it, and the ou ne. cruing from it as actual percentage on the capital employed, dispensing to all except adepts no little information of a rather novel sort as to California enterprise. BOLO ROBBERY IN BROADWAY. Two men, whose acquaintance the police are par- ticularly desirous of forming, yesterday afternoon entered the establishment of John Heitner, diamond and jeweiry setter, in Broadway, and inquired for the proprietor. One of the clerks, who happened to be behind the counter, politely informed them that Mr. Heitner had gone ont, but that he would return to the store in a short time—could they not wait un- til he came back? Of course they could, and they did wait, much to the loss of the proprietor. In one of the cases on the counter there were several trays containing Sedan and the gentlemen in search of Mr. Heitner deciat themselves very highly pleased with their general appedrance. Wonld the clerk be so kind as to show ¢ precious stones to them? Two of the bi con- taining diamonds worth $3,500, were placed before them, when, to the inexpressible astonishment of the clerk the two men placed them under their coats and darted out of the store as if they were afraid that the proprietor they a few moments before wanted to see would come ina little sooner than would suit th convenience. It is almost needless to state that when the clerk iad sufficiently recovered from his astonishment to give an alarm the bold strangers had made good their escape, The detectives bave the case under investigation.
