The London Times, in aleader onthe Alabama claims, says:— If Minister Motley proposes that negottations for the settiement of the claims be reopened at Washing- ton, the proposal will be accepted. We must sdd that it would be useiess to negotiate or to talk of negotiating unless each side is prepared to enter ‘upon the negotiation with confidence in the honor of the other. Ine charge maae by the Americans is «that we did not show proper feeling towards them during the war; that our want of proper feeling led us to afford unfair assistance to tueir enemies. The defence 1s that it was our funy to abstain from slowing teeling to- Wards either side; that the alleged unfair assistance ‘Was a strict observance of neutrality. It 18 plain that satusfactory relations netween the two countries- cannot be restored until we understand and respect the craving of the Americans for sympathy, and’ they understand the difficulties of our situation as im- partial bystancers Injured by a war in which we feit bound to abstain from interference.

Americun writers and statesmea may remember with advantage that our biood is, after all, not very different from their own.

Lee “pirates,” for the same reason that France long before refused to so regard Benjamin Frankiin. The analogyin the cases of Paul Jones and Admiral Semmes, he thinks, is complete, and thence goes on to draw obvious inferences, Colonial Policy and Canada. | Lonpon, Dee, 17, 1869, The London News, in an article to-day on Cana- dian matters says:—“England’s settled colonial policy is a marriage of affection if possible; that failing, one of convenience.

A New York Lawyer Stambles on Jersey Justice—The Result of Trying to “fiugger- mugger? a Case. ‘Two men named Phillips dnd Wilson were arrested about ten days ago by Captain J. C, Nettleship, at Newark, N. J., for selling illegitimate whiskey whole- sale, They were commitied to await examination; but in the meantime a lawyer of New York, named Harris Lowenberg, who keeps an ofMice at 183 Nassau street, came to thier rescue, or at least to attempt it. Captain Nettleship is one of the Treasury detectives 1d Colonel Whitney's force, and nas been employed in the neighborhood of Newark hunting up the ene- mies of the revenue. Lawyer Lowenberg, knowing that no Jaw could screen Phillips and Wilson from their fate, resolved to tempt the ttegrity of Nettie- ship and see if for a consideration of a few bundred doars he could not be induced to let his clients off. ‘The trial was a fatlure, and tn place of succeeding in clearing his chents and making a pile in stamps and reputation, he found bimself under arrest on the charge of seeking to corrupt a government officer and was beid to answer in 33,00, along with a man named Newton Phillips, whom he brought jrom New York to furnish straw bail for his clients. Captain Nettleship hoisted the crafty Israelite on nis own petard, and Commissioner Whitehead, of Newark, before whom the facts of the case were detailed, sternly reminded the trembling limb of the law that he was in the awful State of Jersey, where justice is neither blind nor halt, but alive and spry and kicking, and forever sharpening its two edge’ sword on the grindstone of popular approbation.

A war of no mean magnitude has fuse boen (naa. gurated among the lottery and policy dealers which promises some spicy revelations as to the extent of the’ business, the amount of money tnvolved in {t, the persons ongaged in the enter- prise, and the particulars of the man- ner in which it ts conducted. It has been for @ long iime known that “John Morrissey Ben Wood, Zachariah A, Simmons, Charles H.

Stone, Joseph Bauch, Francis King, Abraham Voorhis, Henry Colton, Reuben Parsons, Marcus A. Little, Benjamin S. Halsey, James S. Watson, Frank Work; and Zachamah E. Simmons, Charles H. Murray and Lewis Davis (as alleged), trustees, &c. Application was then made to Judge Cardozo for an injunction and the appointment of a receiver in the matter of the property and trusts held by the defendants, and afier argument ‘by counsel beng heard in behail of the plaintif, Morris- sey, and two of the defendants, Wood and Anderson, it was ordered by Judge Cardozo that “Benjamin Wood, of the cityof New. York, be und he is hereby appointed receiver of the property, agsets, credits and effects of the business mentioned In the complaint, and of the grants, franchises, cor- porate privileges or property of any nature held mn trust or claimed to be held in trust by Charles H. Murray, Zachariah E. Simmons and Lewis Dayia, for the use and beveit of themselves and the other de- fendants in this avtion or any of them, and of all the property or righta of property held, owned or controled by the iim known as C.

Conclusive figures on this score have never yet been ‘iven to the public, put there is no doubt that it will be uncarthed tn the course of the struggle now inaugurated, and which has just received a double incentive to a desperate contest for the mastery. ‘The effect of Judge Cardozo's order would, in at least one sense, be the placing of immense power in the hands of Wood by giving tim as receiver the ab- solute control, pendente We, of the whole lobby business, and the appointment of a receiver may in all likelihood have been avout ali the “relief prayed sor”? in the piaintif’s heart, although, of course, other “relief? was “prayed for’ on the paper. And here was precisely where the “tug of war’’ came in, ery is beheved to have been about as largely interested in the scheme as Wood, and the appoint- ment of Wood—a defendant in the suit—as receiver was revonidodin § at least very singular, if not wholly unprecedented. It was more than the defendant— the docile and tractabie John Morrissey—could ene and he accordingly cleared the decks for action. A counter-sult was at once commenced in his inter- est, Zachariah A. Simmons being the plaintitt agains: Benjamin Wood and others as defendants, and an application was made to Judge Barnard for an injuuction and the appotatment of a receiver. The sult was beyond a doubt engineered 4 Morrissey, as will be seen when it is stated that the result of the application was, first, the vacation of Judge Cardozo’s order appoint- ing Wood recetver, aud the grenting of an order by Judge Barnard appointing Morrissey recelver, and an injunction restraining ail other parties from in any way interfering with him in the exercise of ms functions as receiver, the terms being similar tn 8ub- stance to the order granted by Judge Cardozo, Judge Barnard’s order was granted on Wednesday Jast, and has ratsed a howl of indignation with dire threats from the Wood clique, with promises of stariting disclosures ali around of fraud, corruption and other malfeasances. What it will end in is at present difficult to foresee; but unless some one re- cedes from his position, on one side or the other, it will “wake the tur fiy.’’ PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE, Sigel was @ general at 22.

R. Mills, It would be unfair to criti- cise the performance of a rehearsa!, and we shall only say a few words about the music itself. ‘The concerto ig well Known to musicians nere, having been played before by Mr. Milis. It is a characteristic creations of tne poet of the piano, iu which hig exuberant imagination, fantastical ideas and nobility of style are shown to advantage. The opening maestoso displays rare grandeur of thought, and the /arghetio, which 1s so like @ similar move- ment in the Liszt concerto of the last convert, isa tone poem, an idyl, such as Mozartor Mendelssoun would finger over with delight. In the finale atiegro vivace we find the Polisn spirit of the composer dis- played? in his appropriating some of the bizarre inelodies of his native land, polishing up those rough diamonds and giving them @ glorious setting of his own, untli their radiance became pifding in the rapid flashes of quaint melody and harmony, which scinilate beneath the fingers of the pianist.’ It is a giorious work and one which will be sure to please better than any of the extravagances of the modern school of pranism.
