a THE BRITISH ARBITRATOR. | Arrival of Recorder Russell Gurney. ‘What He Has to Say About the American Claims. GREAT BRITAIN WiLL ACT JUSTLY. —— Her Britannic Majesty’s government, in choosing an arbitrator to act on behalf of Great Britain at the Commission appointed to assemble at Washington to adjust the claimsof the citizens of the United States who have made out statements against Eng- Jand, had evidently a two-fold object in view in selecting Mr. Russe Gurney for the appointment. ‘Mr, Gurney has for a number of years held one of the most important positions at the English bar—viz., as Recorder of the city of London—where he has of necessity accumulated a vast treasure of general information relative to commerce and the practtcal | working of international law, as affecting liti- gants, and also its bearing on the intereste of sion of nome ‘Union torpedoes at No. 126 Beekman Street Thursday, Sepvember 14, 1871. Probably Fatally Stabbed. Henry Risch, employed at the barber shop of his brother, No, 66 Columbia strect, got into an alterca- tion yesterday with Francis Farrell, who presented himself at the shop to be shaved. Risch, noticng that he was under the influence of liquor, refused to shave him and ordered him to jeave the shop, Farrell then became insulting and threatened Risch with violence. A scuffle then ensued, Jn the course | of which Risch got poseeasion of a large pair of shears and stabbed! bis opponent four times in the back. ‘The wounds are believed to ve of a fatal | character, The mjured man was taken to the Long — Island Hospital, and Risch was arrested and locked | up to await-the result of Farreli’s injuries, Trtal for Alleged Arson.

Who cares for fairs in these days of flerce excite. ment, when even the small boys have their mouths full of Connolly and Hall and McClellan, and men stand at street corners swearing from morning ull night, for the waat of something else to say? Fairs are tasteless ailairs wien the City Fathers are being served up im astyle to suit the most dainty of can- nibals, and nobody cares for Eureka potatoes or ne plus ultra squashes when he can have Tweed for bis breakfast, Sweeny for his dinner and the concen- trated “feeling of the city!’ for his supper.

Early yesterday morning he availed himself of an -opportunity to pay a visit to Judge Bedford at the Court of General Sessions, in company ‘with Mr. Sergeant Sleigh, @. C., of the Inner ‘Temple, London. ~On bis return to the hotel @ representative of the HExaLp walted upon him for the purpose of ascertaining bis opinions ‘with reference to the mission with which he had ‘been entrusted by Mr. Gladstone’s Vabinet. Mr. Gur- ‘ney is a fair specimen of THE THOROUGH ENGLISH GENTLEMAN, as.about filty years of age, and, without the wig— what terror to the London criminals—is certainly good looking. The following Is the result of the Anterview with the Commissioner:— REPORTEE—Your appointment to the position of Commissioner in investigauing the claims against Great Britain has been received here with approba- tion, and as a lively interest has been evinced by the public in all that concerns the adjusting of the Alabama claims [ should like to have any informa- on you,can give me on the subject. Mr. GuRNEY—Well, I am appointed by Her Ma- festy’s government, in compliance with article twelve of the Treaty of Washington. Ihad no idea of receiving the appointment previously, and when I was sent for I did not recelye any such elaborate instructions as it might be expected the circum. stances requited. -1 was called upon to undertake the task, and at the same time a copy of the treaty ‘was handed to me, with instructions that I WAS TO PROCEED TO WASHINGTON m time for meeting the other Commissioners on Monaay next, “It has been stated that very elaborate conditions had been imposed upon you in reference to the xet- tlement of claims.” “Permit me to say that the facts are quite to the contrary. With reference to the settlement of the accounts made-out, or to be made out, against Great Britain, I shall receive them in the ordinary manner and investigate them in accordance with the stt-ula- tions of the treaty; but to say that 1am bound down 4s not correct. I ave almost a carte blanche in the matter. No such restrictions have been proposed so faras 1 am aware,”” f eae. I understand ‘hat you have unlimited pow- “fhe governmet of Great Britain desires that ali the articles o1 the treaty shall be faithiutly and fully carried out. This, 1 think, has been fully shown drom the first. The claiins will be chiefly handed an, I suppose, from American shipowners and mer- chants, when, I presume, it will be generally alleged | that the ships Nave been filegally detained or taken, as the case may be; ind the accounts will have also to ve received from the oiner site and arrayed in the Same Way as the American cb ip “When Earl de Grey was about to return to Eu- rope, after completing the drawing up of the treaty, he #atd itcontained new and important features in international law. Do you so regard it??? “Welt, speakiwag from my long experience, I think it does contain new and materia! improvements on the old law. IN MY CAPACITY AS A LAWYER I shonld be perfectly satisfied with tt, and I do not conceive how anytiing awarded upon such a basis conld be coptested as being lilegal.” “I suppose you will endeavor to setile any dis- putea point of iaw that way arise during te negotiations 2"? “Ybat is my object.

One individual has no right to pretend to anything of that kind, 1 believe I have not oilicially been served with any notes of particulars at all. 1 cer- tainly saw a list of claims that had been sent to the Foreign Oftice in Lonuon, but I took no particwar notice of them, as i had been given to understand that I should receive everyting that was requisite on my arrival here.
