ENGLAND. The Alabama Question and the English Prese—A “Crusher? for the Fenians— @ Donovan Rossa—Health of the Queen— Chance ef a Regency—Lenidon Trade. Lonvon, Jan. 1, 1870. If “mep of good will” on either side of the At- Aantic veliéve that the questionof the Alabama will de laid at reat even by the respective working.of the American and British governments they are much mistaken. For the proof of what I say I would refer you to a letter signed ‘‘Historicus” which ap- peared in yosterday’s Times, d whioh, written, as we dil know, by Vernon Harcourt, an emi- nent barrister and a typical man of the legal aristooraey of England is honored by being printed in leader type, and given all the importance of tan oMcial document, The London Times indeed, a method peculiarly tts own of dealing ‘with questions, It either sets up a man of straw in the shape of a weil paid for correspondent’s letter, ictated, of course, by itself, and then proceeds to knock the “dammy’’ figure down, or else it has a eommunication, written also to order, taking the dine of argument which the paper adopts, and, ‘takjng that communication for its text, it founds japon it the arguments for a leader or twoto serve ita own ends. The letter to which I refer ts headed “Maritime Belligerency.” Everybody knows who ‘Wrote it just as well as if the writer signed his own mame to it. Everybody is also fully aware that it is written to serve a clique—to serve that small band of ‘wealthy but desperate meh, who risked large sums upon the issue. of tnd’ Hon in the Southern States, and who ‘were boubd UD, purse and heart, in the success of the Confedetate cause. ll the dia worn ont state- ments as to tle Alabania rot being a pirate, not being let out of English ports, not pelng armed, manned and kept up by Englishmen and English gold, are again revived. Mr. Sumner’s language on thia subject and Mr. Fish’s lave despatch are equally found fault with, and both for the same reason. ‘That reason is an intention to revive the discussion Upon the Alabama question, and thereby to revive the hopes of ail on this side of the ocean who have @uffered by the resuit of tle Confederate loan, by mipbuliding, arms making and other speculations the Confederate government. Not that I put uch importance upon the movement, and would t Notice it Were it not ‘or the sake of explanation.

Very few of the newspapers represent lic opinion. ‘the editors, managers and pro- rietors take their own line of conduct and make ir gprrespondents adopt the same.

The reply was that he endeavor to depict things as they are ia ‘Rome and woul do his vest to obtaim the most ac- Curate information for the use of his employers. “That,” replied the editor, “is all very well; but remember that we must not have.a word said praise of anything tbat happens at the Papal rt, You must ran down in every possibie man- the Council and all concerning it, and in this Tine you must be consistent as weil as constant.’’ The “speciai” was new at this sort of work, and Mot unnaturally asked whether If he saw, or heard, learned anything that was to be praised he was todo so.” “Noton any account, was the re- ly, “we don’t believe any good can come of the inci; we have abused it and shall continue to do and your letters must Keep us in countenance.” much for the boasted honesty of the English ress, 1 should mention that whe intending “special respondent,” veing too honest @ man to prosti- ute his pen to such a system, at once resigned bis intment. jot tiat there is really anything new in this sys- L remember, in 1968, seeing @ telegram which gent to a friend of mine, who was on the statt ‘@ leading London paper.

As this ceremony will uot take up more than an hour and @ half, or at the most two hours, the as- sembled fathers will afterwards proceed for the first time to the discussion of more serious business. Another general congregation will be held on the ‘Sist for the election of the deputation charged with the consideration of Oriental missions. These four deputations, elected by the Council, entitied Faith, Discipline, Religious Orders and Oriental Missions, replace the six preparatory commissions named by the Popa, who have during the last year been elabo- rating the propositions touching dogmatic theology, ceremonies, politico-ecclesiastical affairs, discipline, religious orders and Oriental missions. The commissions or deputations are restricted from six tofour. That on the ceremonial part of the Council having ceased with its inauguration, dogmatic theology having assumed the character of faith and politic-ecclesiastical affairs being merged mto discipline, But without waiting for the elec- tion of the fourth deputation the assembled fathers will proceed at once te-morrow to the discussion of matters connected withthe programme of the first category Jide, <A tremendous confusion of tongues is expected, as @ considerable number of orators of various nationalities have already .in- scribed their Hames for aamission to the speakers’ will be thoroughly sifyeq, b font.

The protest Was, nevertheless, presented, aid our readers have already been made aware of the result—it was con- temptuously aside. The Cardinal’s detection has, it is said, practically broken asunder the present force the opposition, but the Uberals among the French and German bishops do not appear to con- sider the game as necessarily lost, “if these men,’” says the Times’ correspondent, “could find some exterior support they would fight the Vatican, for they feel that the very existence of their episcopal privileges depends on their making a stand now ‘against ube pretensions put forward by the Pope,” and the writer adds that ne has “good authority tor aitirming that a great many Vets are DOW anx- lously desirous that for tuis end the Cagbolic govern- ments should lose DO time in accrediting ambassa- dors to the Council.’ id In Rome, on the 30th of December, the Pope sent to the Queen of Naples @ baplisinal present, a pelisse, embroidered in gold, with her arms upon it gud a cameo surrounded with rubies.

Just previous to Justice Ledwith leaving the bench at Kesex Market Police Court yesterday afternoon @ case came up before him which was of more than’ usual importance.

The com- plainant was a sickly, emaciated looking Woman, named Mary McGann, who now resides at No, 265 Stanton street. She stated her story very succinctly and with an appearance of truthfulness. Some time since Mary went to live in the house of a Dr. Palmer, who resides at No. 78 Fourth avenue, in the capacity of a domestic servant. During her nine months! rest- dence in the family the defendant, Robert Patmer, who is @ reiative of either the doctor or nis wil lived in the house. One day during fast summer t! family went to a picnic, and in their absence Robert Palmer came to the house. He commenced at once to pay atientions to Mary McGann, and, as alleges, concluded by putting a handkerchief satu- rated with something to her nose, He then, as she states, took her into @ back room parlor and laid her upon a& lounge, and after having divested her of all her clothing outraged her. ‘the woman subsequently discovered that she was ence.nte, and tus coming to the knowledge of Dr. Paimer’s wile that lady advised that Mary should resort to means for premature delivery.

There is not a house of any character or standing {n the trade that 1s not willing to comply strictly to the letter with the revenue laws and pay every cent demanded by the gov- ernment.
