He put up at a first class hotel, | having, no doubt, his appetite vastly improved by the sea voyage and his nervous system retoned and soothed by the cordial greetings with which he was received at the very birth- place and point of departure of the Alabama. In Liverpool he was presented with two ad- dresses—one from the American and the other from the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce. Both papers were of the mutual admiration order and couched in the words and sentimen- tal strain of ‘common language and blood,” “general interests In the spread of commerce and arts,” ‘friendly relations,” ‘‘peace,” “consanguinity,” and ‘‘the advancement of civilization,” with sentences of like import, glossed and rounded off with the same polish and varnish which proved so seductive and fatal to ‘‘Dandy” Johnson, particularly when repeated in London amid the refreshing aroma of roast beef, plum pudding and brandy punch, The members of the American Cham- ber expressed their best wishes for the preser- vation of friendly relations between the coun- tries, and were probably gladdened to hear from the lips of the Minister that it is the “earnest hope” of General Grant that he should be able to cultivate and secure such relations. Mr. Motley spoke also in behalf of the American people, asserting almost in words that on this point the feeling of the country was in complete unison with that of the President. In such manner nationalizing his own individuality, did ex-Minister Johnson commit his first diplomatic mistake, and it is really a matter of surprise that Mr. Motley, who is classed as an authority on events long past, should preface his career with the error of causing modern history to “‘repeat itself” in a form and sense disagreeable, to say the least, to his country- men, even when presented with the recommen- dation of novelty of expression, as in this instance. The Liverpool merchants spoke of their ‘deep interest” in the ‘‘welfare” of the Union, or perhaps otherwise, as the case may be, and of their hopes for ‘‘modera- tion,” ‘ justice,” “mutual honor” and ‘free trade,” the Minister reiterating our desire for peace, ‘based on justice,” in reply. Nota word was said about the Alabama claims. The functions of Congress were, however, referred to, but not ina hopeful strain. Perhaps the occasion was not the proper one for introduc- ing the subject of our bill of charges, which we presume will be presented to the Premier. John Bright's newspaper organ, however, repudiates the idea that such a charge will be made—a very extraordinary inference, particu- larly when used in behalf of an honest Quaker and Cabinet Minister with reference to an in- ternational difficulty which, if neglected, may involve two mighty nations in war. Does President Grant accept the British reasoning? We know what plum pudding can effect, but shall we have fight or ‘“‘bosh” in the end? The Yacht Cambria Again—Auother Letter from Mr. Ashbury. By acable despatch given to-day it will be seen that Mr. Ashbury, owner of the English yacht Cambria, makes an explanation and de- fines his position. His immediate purpose, apparently, is to defend himself from a charge of being over-eager to secure a race across the Atlantic with an American boat. By whom this charge was made does not appear, ‘but in our opinion there is no ground for it. Indeed, we believe it could only have origin- ated in a misunderstanding of all that Mr. Ashbury has done and said, and we are con- fident he might have left his defence in this particular to the record he has made in his many letters, speeches and other utterances, formal and informal. If we know the mean- ing of words they will prove to any man’s sat- isfaction that he is not too eager; that he has not such a passion for sport as to blind him to the chances of defeat; that he can see plenty of reasons for avoiding any race that does not hit his fancy to a nicety; in short, that he has a fine, phlegmatic, gentlemanly, blas¢ indiffer- ence in the matter, and would just as lief not race as to race, especially if there is the re- motest chaace that he may be beaten, This defence, we say, was already made for him by his own words; but of course it was in bis discretion to make it stronger by one more letter specially almed to show that he is no more eager for a ‘race, now that his yacht has been badly beaten, than he was before. But who could possibly have charged him with this undue anxiety, this rash eagerness fora race? Woe trust that the person who made this charge had no spiteful purpose to be ‘‘sarcastical.” We should be sorry to hear that his countrymen had taken to laughing at Mr. Ashbury, though if they should set so im- polite an example there are certain points In the case that would sorely tempt us to follow it, Is not the charge the least bit ‘‘chaffy” in its flavor? Too eager for a race! Behold him allthe season going up and down the club rooms of that peaceful England airing his high resolve to win a certain cup and carry it home with him, Listen him declaring in his speeches that “Americans did not know the man they had to deal with” if they thought him a trifler; that the cup won by the America had remained too long this side the Atlantic, and for the honor of England must return, et cwtera, Now who, hearing all this, would imagine that the speaker had never entered his yacht for a race for this cup—had taken no proper step to authorize him to contest the possession of this proud trophy that he so values in his phrases ? We suppose it is quite possible that the Bri- tish yachting public may have regarded this gentloman as too eager In one sense—too eager to assume an attitude that might make the un- instructed suppose that there was but one authorized representative of all England in the yachting world, and that his name was Ash- bary—too eager, In short, to thrust himself forward and promise to do more for the honor of England than England required to have done. Mr, Ashbury need not concern himself about his position. People understand it very well. Ho beat the Sappho, which was then a “ing rate boat, and which was rippled hy an acel- dent during the «a0e.

Finally, in 6 rite that perhaps could not be avoided, he has bésn beaten, and now disclaims any “eagerness” to make @ race that may risk the honor of Engfand on a beaten boat. He can Rever, we fancy, come as the representative of 4 British club to contest dur possession of the oup, and therefore can have no standing here in that matter; and our yach¢men who go to England this summer in their individual cha- racter, and not as club champions, will consult their own taste in the choice of opponents, and will probably take no risk for the doubtful honor of beating the Cambria. France and Napoleonism. As the details of the elections which have just taken place in France slowly reach us from day to day It becomes more and more manifest that Paris, if not France, has nar- rowly escaped what would have closely re- sembled—if it had not actually been—revolu- tion. Our Paris letters, strengthened as these have been by extracts from the prominent Paris journals, show that if there had been a little less resttaint on the part of the people, a little less caution or a little more violence on the part of the police, things might have been dangerous. So far as the facts have reached us the government candidates have had it nearly all their own way out of Paris; bat in Paris, in some districts, at least, where the opposition has worked bravely and well, the government has been less fortunate, M. Thiers and M. Jules Favre for the present find themselves out in the cold, and though the latter threatens to contest the election of his opponent it is not Mkely “that either of them will find a Paris constituency for some time tocome. It is perfectly manifest that the government exerted its whole strength to de- feat these two candidates. Thiers and Favre, if they do not find a constituency elsewhere, will be missed in the new Assembly. It is more than possible, however, that their ab- sence will be atoned for by the presence of such a man as Bancel, and by the activity of the rest of the opposition. We are not yet ina position fully to com- prehend the lessons of this last French elec- tion. Did we not know how elections are managed under the imperial régime we might conclude that the Emperor was popular and that France thinks well of the imperial system. Knowing, however, as we do, that the ballot boxis liable to government manipu- lation, we cannot regard the results of this election, any more than the results of the previous elections which have taken place under the government of Louis Napoleon, as a fair and satisfactory expression of the opinions and wishes of the French people. It is, perhaps, true that the majority of the French pegple aro of opinion that they are just as comfortable and prosperous at home, and in all respects just as well represented abroad, under the rule of Napoleon, as they could be under the rule of any other, “It begins, however, to be very noticeable that much as the French people respect and reverence Napoleon, they are not much in love with the one-man government. It is their opinion that power is too much cen- tralized. The rejection of the legitimist and Orleanist candidates is not insignificant. If it does not proclaim, it at least suggests, that ‘the French do not expect much from the res- toration of either branch of the Bourbons. What opposition there is is chiefly republican. The French people have evidently a strong desire to manage their own affairs ; but Napo- leon, in spite of his faults, has done so well, and the reins are so firmly in his grip, that his chances may be said to be good for life. Trouble may come with his successor, but his successor must be judged on his own merits, The opposition to the government, as revealed at this election, proves no more than this—that there exists throughout France a little health- ful leaven which may yet leaven the whole « lamp. Governor HorrMan declines to interfere in the case of Messner, the Rochester murder- er, sentenced to be executed on Friday next. It seems that Messner has uttered threats of killing more people in case he should ever re- gain his liberty, In this Messner made a blunder. If he had professed contrition and manifested a devout and earnest spirit he might have touched a chord of sympathy which the peculiar circumstances of his crime would seem to have justified. It will not do for crim- inals to make threats of this kind, unless their counsel have put them up to it in order to put in a plea of insanity as a bar to the execution of judgment. ‘Dissorntep Tuinkixe.”—Dr. James Rush dies in Philadelphia, leaving a fortune of a couple of millions—the bulk of which he do- nates to the erection of alibrary, In his in- structions he advises the managers not to give much space to those “teachers of digjoint- ed thinking—the daily newspapers.” If it had not been for the daily newspapers and their style of ‘‘diajointed thinking” it is not likely the deceased would ever have possessed or retained the million he has so munificently be- queathed to a public institution, GeeMax Prooress 1x Viroiwia.—A new paper, printed in the German language and called the Patriot, has been started in Rich- mond.

This spe- cies of immigration has for many years past been getting along very flonrishingly with no other conventions than those of the savings banks, in which our industrious Irish maid sorvanta and laborers regularly make their money deposits, and upon which they draw from time to time and send to the old country to enable the old folks ta come to this land of liberty.

Op The Right Negro tm the Right Place. Mr, E. D. Bassett, our negro Minister to Hayti, enjoyed two separate official interviows with President Grant yesterday. The colored diplomat is described by our Wasbington cor- respondent as of excellent address and good bearing, of polished manner, modest, quick ia perception of tho situation and well posted on the political questions of the day. He is the first colored gentleman appointed by General Grant to a foreign mission, and he certainly appears remarkably well qualified to represent his government gbroad. He re~ garded his more close introduction to the President as a ‘‘trying ordeal,” but it must be acknowledged, although he does not appear puffed with pride at the achievement, that ho acquitted himself remarkably well. General Grant was attended by Secretaries Fish and Creswell, Minister Bassett was presented with a cigar by the President, whom he atyles “Mr. Grant,” and after the enjoyment of a fragrant smoke with the Chief Magistrate and Mr. Creswell the three dis- tinguished individuals, consulted a map of Hayti and an encyclopedia. Annexation was spoken of by Mr. Bassett and treated cau- tiously by “Mr.” Grant, The Minister's in- structions are merely oral, the General having full faith in his patriotism, fidelity and hon- esty. Mr. Bassett will sail from Now York next Thursday. The late Mr. Mason, when American Ambassador in Paris, rated tho Minister from Hayti at Napoleon's Court a6 “one thousand dollars, clothes and all.” General Grant's man is invaluable at this estimate. Tag Trenton Porrers are still on a atrike. New Jersey went for Potts many years ago, and some who sailed in the same boat were finally sent to Potter's Field. A Mississtert Apon1s witH His Heap Orr.— The Brandon (Mississippi) Republican refera to a certain party as ‘‘that handsome, intelli- gent, silver-tongued ladies’ heart crusher, ex- captain of a negro company, editor of the ——, chairman of the Radical State Executive Com- mittee, member of the Committee of Sixteen, and bully witness, who has had his official head chopped off by the members of his owa sweet-scented party.” This is making mince- meat of a man without the benefit of sweet marjoram or any other “‘yarb.” It does not appear that he is from the North. Toorn CarpEenrers.—When dentists in Mis- sissippi advertise but little and complain of a want of business the editors out there call them “tooth carpenters.” This is plane talk, and it would be well for the afflicted to send in thoir adze without delay. THE CUBAN FILIBUS2 ERS, What thefOweers of the Perrit, The Spanish Consal, and the United States Marshal Say About the Arago and Perrit—The Bohemian Yarns Contradicted. Once more the Bohemians have tackled that old repast that so tickied their paisted about three weeks ago, and are getting up huge rumors about Cuban filibuster- ing again, The latest development of the mania is in relation to the landing of Cuban recruits, by the steamer Perrit, on the coast of the Queen of the Antilles. The Perrit left this port about the time the former hoaxes were afloat on this subject, undee a charter to other parties from her owners, Messrs. Spofford, Tileston & Co., for a voyage to Kingston, Jamaica. Messrs. Spofford, Tileston & Co. now assert, upon the return o/ the vessel to this port, that she has not been engaged in any contraband or filibustering en- terprise whatever, and positively reiterate the aa- sertion also that she not only was not engaged in any such enterprise since ner departure, but also that she took out no filibusters or re craits, nor anything like naval or militacy stores, ammunition or arms. Her cargo was a general assorted cargo, and when she was ohar- tered it was expressly Ce prey by her owners to the chartering [at By she should not be em- credo in any = jous or ae bem anteg merely a commercial voyage. She was regal cleared at the Custom House for Jamaic with liberty also to touch at a Cuban port, and cy her departure was simultaneous with that of other oo filibustering craft the owners of the Perrit were unaware that such other vessels were about to leave autil they actually sailed. The persons, other than the ordinary crew, who were on board of her were mostly comme: and travelers of undoubted respectability, position and wealth, and were about a dozen to number, and the firm say that the vessel haa been engaged in no clandestine manner oF m way discreditable to any slipping or com- mercial house in the city, Since her return she has been lying at the Atlantic Basin, Brooklyn, unloading her return cargo, ana will shortly go fur+ ther up the East river to unload @ quantity of log- wood sie now has on board, In reply to arequest made yesterday to the Span- ish Consul for information as to whether he had taken any steps relative to the seizure of the Perrit for violation of the neu- trality Jaws, that ofMicial stated that he had no information to give on the subject. If he had, however, it would be improper in hina, bo satd, to give ti to the newspapers. In regard to such matters as these, and at such a pertod as the present, with the bess wishes for the press, he considered himself in duty bound to reserve such informasion for his government, primarily at least, if pot excla; sively, and other course would at once oom) mise lim in his official position and obligations to tuat government. United States Marshal Barlow denies tively. the statements that have been so blatantly fumed forth relative to the steamship Arago hav! cone veyed any Cuban expedition from (his port, METKODIST CHURCH LAY REPRESENTATION. ‘There was a rather thin attendance at the Rose Hii Methodist Episcopal church last evening, the occasion being the agitation of the question of lay representation in the Generai Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Mr, M, W. Bedeaa presided, and after a prayer The Rev. Dr. TtrPANY proceeded to address the gathering. He congratulated the Charch upon the good temper with which the discussion concerning lay representation had been conducted on either side, He belteved that there were many analogica between the Church of the first century and the Methodist Church of the nineteenth century; and to ake the similarity more perfect he would reintro- ince the same elements that made w Testame Church.
