NO INDIRECT LOSSES important Movement Among the Paris Clergy. j ANOTHER SECEDER FROM INFALLIBILITY, The Spanish Cortes in an Uproar Pre- vious to Its Dissolution. ‘The steamship Main, Captain Ladewegs, from Bremen, 3d via Southampton 6th, arrived at this port yesterday, with three days later mails, ENGLAND. Extracts from the Opinions of the London Press on the Washington Treaty and the American Case. The London Times of February 5 concluues an article as follows:— Let us, then, once more state clearly what it 1s ‘and What it is not to which Great Britain objects in the American case, tis the more necessary to do ‘Unis because some of our New York’ contemporaries seem to be laboring under a strange contusion of thought as to the object and mits of the Geneva arbitration, anticipating extravagant ‘‘coun- ter claims” on the part of Great Britain. We need hardly inform our readers that no counter ‘Claim whatever has been made or could nave been made in the Briusn case. It was an essential con- q@ition of the Geneva arbitration that it should only take cognizance of American claims against Great Butam, and the consent of Great Britain to Place herself in this unfavorable position, with- Out the power of pieading a set-oif, was one of the main concessions made in consideration of *andirect losses” being struck out of the United States’ account. There were, howeyer, otner con- cessions of equal importance, coliectively amount- ang to @ sacrifice, which it 1s absurd to suppose Great Britain could Lave made without any equiva- Jent whatever, By deviating from all diplomatic TWadition and precedent so jar as to record an ex- pression of national regret in the preamble of the treaty, by accepting rules for we decision of the questions to be brought before the arvitrators ‘which Great Britain holds to ve new in the law of nations, and by waiving altogether her right to in- @Gemnity for the Fenian invasions of Canada the British Commiséioners surrendered as much as it ‘Was possible to surrender Without betraying the in- teresia intrusted to them. Having cheerfully Fatified their acts Great Bricain firmly declines to stand on her defence against claus tne with drawal of which she understvod Ww be a condition ol the Whole agreement. From the London Observer of the 4th we copy the following:— “A communication has, it is rej “@utnority, bean already torwarde ernment ‘to Wastungton on the claims of the United States for indirect damages as put iorward in the American case. The despatch, U we are rightly in- formed, ts most friendiy 1n {te tone, and expresses @n earnest desire on tue part of Her Majesty’s gov- ernment for the due carrying out of tne Treaty of Washington. At the same tme it states in distinct terms jt any liability for indirect damages was not understood on our siae to be contained in the we and deciares that England cannot consent to submit to arbitration uf her liability in respect to Soc damages 13 to be regarded as an open ques- 2. Tne London Daily News of the 6th also has an @rticie on the subject, which ends in the following manner :— It is as clearly due to the American people and governinent as to our own honor that we suould de- Clare distinctly that we Caunot accept arbitration upon claims iounded on indirect losses. it ‘in van for American friends to @ay, as actually they do say, ‘Never mund, it pleases us to put them in; but supposes you will have to pay them.” We must take it that the American ‘case’’ 13 a serious document. We know that it has been referred to a tribunal of the highest dignity. ‘whe first thing ‘Waich the members of that tribunal will consider $s the extent of the reierence which bas been made to tnem. They will ask what it includes and what is excluded irom it, and their guide— uheir only guide—will be the instrument which embodies the agreement of the partes, and which, as embodying that agreement, is tne sole basis 0} their authority. Most unfortunately it now appears ‘hat toils very document is differently understood by the parties whose agreement it was supposed to express, and, as 1t seems, Was so understood from the fret. At any rate we can speak wich confidence on the sense in which the British government ratified tne Treaty of Washington, The debates in Parliament last summer showed most clearly to the whole ‘world that the Foreign Minister of this country, and hs colleagues. explained and defended the treaty as excluding the reference of claims for in- direct losses to the Geneva Tribunal. Now that the discrepancy has been made manifest by the publication of the American case, and atten- on has been drawn to the precise language of the treaty, it is admitted that the terms employed have a regretable ambiguity. Nevertheless, ibe sense in which we understood them has been known for eight months to the entire world, and it is not our fault if the difference has only been brougnt to light alter the Geneva Tribunal has held its first formal sitting. We wisb this arbitration to be reai; we cannot, therefore, proceed with it on the mere chance that the tribunal will exclude demands which, in any case, We do not intend to admit. We wish it to be Qnal; we cannot, therefore, run the risk of learn- ing that the arbitrators render such and such fedgments as to the direct losses, but leave the t losses, as not Included in the reference, to be @ mater for interminavie debates In the fucure. We wish for an honest termination of all our dii- ferences with the United States, and therefore we deal with them frankly and ask fur frank treat- ‘ment in return, ‘We make the following extract from an article in the London Zelegraph of the 5th:— We emphawcally disclaim the slightest notion that any thought derogatory to the fect good faith Of the arvitrators has entered into the umiversal caged England against the indirect claims. ere has been nofear as to the nature of the award, should those particular claims go beiore tne Court; there has been solely a firm and clear devermination that certain matters, largely affect- ‘mg the status of England as a sovereign Power, snail not be permitted even to appear tetore the tribunal.

THE ALABAMA OLAIMS. View of an American in London, To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:: Sir—I think it a duty, as an American resident in Englana for forty years, to communicate to an American journal such ideas as arise in my mind from observation of what I see and hear at present onthe case between England and America. Travel- lung from Brighton to London, a few mornings ago, in an express train, in a@ first class carriage, filled ‘with apparently first chop London men of business, residenvat this fashionable watering place, the con- versation turned on the “arbitration case.” After Sreely settling that the tone of public and private feeling in America is of the lowest type—from the President to Fisk—and ‘hat nothing so de- graded in character exists, or ever did exist, as the American press—particularly marking out the HERALD and its proprietor tor execration— It Was admitted that the late Lord Derby would have brought these Yankees to their senses; for it was seen how they lower thelr aggreasive ingolence so s00n a8 A spirit 1s manifested in England, such as Lard Derby's fiery spirit, aided by the London press, evoked afew years ago, The exact words [ cannot repeat; but the meaning of the conversauon was that a show of resistance should be made, and it leaked out tnat the hint hag been given to the eos by the government to do the inaignation jodge, but to retrain from hard woras.

AN ALBANY MAN, Lonpon, Feb. 1, 1872, DID THE ALABAMA DESTROY OUR COMMERCE? Why We Have Not a Wooden Fleet Now, To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— It #s to be regretted, for her own sake as well as ours, that England should have offered objection to the American attempt to prove consequential dam- ages from the depredations of the Anglo-rebel cruisers. In this country an almost universal idea pre- vails that our navigation has been destroyed by their Unlawful acts, and that our present want of ships 18 owing to the advantage unfairly taken in conse queace vy Great Britain, A very little considera- tion ought to make the fallacy of this assumption apparent. The Alabama destroyed ships, and, although while the war lasted it was not desirable tw build ochers in their stead, when peace ensued, 81X long years ago, should not their very destruc- Uon and the transfer of others, by actual sale or otherwise, to toreign flags, have givén an immense impetus to shipbuilding in order to replace them? Instead of tils we are told by the Investigating Committee of Congress on Shipbuilding that the main cause of the decadence of our shipbuilding 1n- Lerest, and consequently of our saip owning (which latter they seem to consider of comparatively little importance), was owing to the Alabama, What nonsense! If ships that are really wanted now were destroyed six years ago a new fleet would Jong since have been built and our shipyards would have been busier than ever, But the truth is that clas# of Vessels is Dot Wanted now and therefore they are not built, For some years belore the war, although wooden sailing ships were the chief car- riers, iron screw steamers were gradually coming into use. Not ouly were subsidized vessels of the Cunard line engaged in the Atiantic trade, but iMdependent iron screws were success- fully competing with them. They were making profitable voyages to the United States, the Mediterranean, South America and Australia, During the Crimean war the Black Sea was full of them, domg active duty as transports. Improve- ments in_ machinery, boilers and consamption of were constantly being made, and they were gilowly but surely driving the old fashioned modern ships irom the ocean. For purposes of foreign commerce we had positively noue. It is no new thing, then, this envied monopoly of iron ship- buils in Great Britain. The reason Jor it is clear, To pulld wooden ships there is scarcely any outlay 1p pre that requires capital, aud of the cost of the vessel @ much smaller proportion i# iabor than in the construction of an iron steamer. Tho Bnglishman bad his capital for one-half the inter- es that the American Would have been obliged to ay, and, to sav nothing of the material, ne had his haber for one-half the wagea, Now he has it for even lesa, Iu the very beginning of tron shipbt ing ne had these great advantages over us, and his only competition has been upon his own sou. Whereas upon the Thames, where iron steam- ships were at first built, the cost of labor and mate- rial was @ more than phy ‘Tyne and tne Clyde, coyaing veuse|s 1 cost £1 oF £2 more Wan at ‘the north, all ship halting travelled in that direc* tion, Ii, then, England at her south could not com” te with Eng! at her north, and with Scotland, ow could America attempt to rival those favored localities, where capitul, labor and material were to be nad at the lowest rates? To return to the Alabama and her consorts. They undoubtedly drove our wooden sailing suips (all the navigation we had) from the seas. What became of them? Some were sold, and well gold, too, outright to Joreigners, aud others, for lack of ability on the part ol our government to protect them, were obliged to take refuge under foreign flags, Already, by the dangers of the seas, by decay and oid age, many of them perished, and most of those that remain are either making unprofitable voyages or are laid up in ordinary, waiting lor that day antici by some of our enlightenea statesmen when sailing ships and wooden side-wheel steamers shall prove their superiority to iron screws. As Horace Greeley lately remarked to the writer, “Contound it, sir, the oid Baltic was good enough for me, what we want to do is to subsidise ships like ner.) I have stated facts which must be indisputable arguments. They warrant the assertion that the Alabama did not destroy our commerce. Tis 18 no pallation for her piracy, or for England's negligence and sympathy witn the rebellion. But surely if the Geneva Conference should investigate Consequential damages this truth will be revealed. It will be found that the war and the great revoiu- tion in shipbuilding, which substituted iron and steam for wood and ‘were coincidences of time, if there had been no rebellion we should have re- they would have and our shy 1s would have been as idle as they now are. We build wooden vessela and a few of iron for our coasting trade, because it is an abso- lute monopoly, and their high cost is paid for by the community in high freight. This is “protec: tion,” and it may be just. We will not gainsay it, But if we wish to participate in ocean commerce With other nations it does not behoove us to com- plain of an inexorable law of nature and to wonder ‘why we cannot have cheap snips with high wi We have no rignt to blame the war and the Ala- bama for the results of our own stupidity. ‘The wooden ships of Hamburg and Bremen, which were built at those places, are disappearing without the assistance of Alabama; but the sensible Germans go to Scotland and buy in their places those splendid iron steamships with which they are making immense profits out of the American trade, while the American government does not allow its Wn Citizens to participate in it, When shall we realize that we are committing suicide while crying “murder?” J, G INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT. Text of the Bill Agreed On—History of Its Support and Opposition. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17, 1872. The following bill will be presented to the Joint Library Vommittee of the Senate and House Mon- day. Itis the measure of legisiation agreed upon between the foreign authors and American pub- lushers:— AN AcT to secure @ copyright to foreign authors and artists, Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Kepre- sentatives of the United States of America, in Coa- gress assembled :— SECTION 1.—That any author and artist who is Dot a citizen of the United States may secure a copy- right for his or her work, in accordance with the regulations of the United States Copyright act; pro- vided such author and artist shall manufacture and publish said works in the United States, SEC, 2.—That any author who is nota citizen of the United States may secure the right of transla- tion of hisor her work, whether the original work be pubiisned tin a foreign country or in the United States; provided that upon the first publication of such original work the author shall have announced on its title page his intention of translating it, and the original work shail have been registered 1n the office of the Librarian of the Congress of the Untted States, and a copy Of 1t shall have been deposited in the library of Congress within one month after its first publi- cation in a foreign country for copyright in accord- ance with the regulations of the United states Copyright act, and provided, also, that the author shall manufacture and publish the translation of nis or her work in the United states. SEC. 3.—This act shall take effect from the date of its passage. The above bill was drafted by Mr. Ed- ward L. Andrews, of the New York Bar, and has been accepted by Messrs. Appleton, Sheidon and Van Nostrand, of the Publishers’ Committee. The compromise which resulted in this proposition was brought about by the evident determination of the Library Committee to report no measure that would injure the business of publishing. The chal:man, Senator Morrill, suggested that “the progress of science anu the arts’? was so intimately bound up with the protection of the book trade, as well as with the security of authors, that Congress would fail in its constitutional duty if it impaired one in- terest while advancing the other. Meanwhile ine delegation of Philadelphia imponters and publishers, seconded by the Harper Brothers and by Mr. Hub- bard, of Boston, claimed a large share of the com- mittee’s attention. They strenuously resisted any measure according to the foreign author the least interest in the profits made trom his works by the American publisher, Senator Sherman indicated some preference for the plan of Mr. Lindirkin, securing the foreiga au- thor a certain percentage of the sales of his book in the United States. This would leave it free to any American pubusher to reprint a foreign book, whether previously pubilshed in this country or not. Tne practical objections to this proposal; the impossivility of carrying on the publishing business without the exclusive control of the work as printed, advertised and put on the market at great expense, were ciearly ex- lained by the publishers. ‘The suggestion had n made with a view of eliciting argument on the oject, and the reasons adduced agains: it were generally regarded as insuperable. In this situation of affairs Mr. Charles Astor Bris- ted, representing the Copyright Association, and Messrs, Dillaway aud Auarews, his counsel, also Yepresenting tue foreign authors, conferred with the puolishers in favor of international copy- Tignt as to the possibility of agreement upon a bhi that would be generally acceptavie. There was no difference of opinion among these gentlemen as to the inherent right of an autuor io his tangivie pro- ductions, But the attorneys for the European authors were as much opposea as the publishers to the Linderkin plan—ol universal poaching of foreign books or payment 01 a certain royalty. For many English authors can command higher remu- neration than the fixed amount of ten per cent; and, besides, it would constitute a great interference es private property aud be amenable to legal ob- jectiolls, The representatives of the authors desired the fullest measure of right, without limitation or de- duction; the publishers were willing to accede to legisiation that would give the foreign author the most ample ana unrestricted control of nis property im American publications. ‘The most efficieat remedy for authors—the cancellation of Pirated copies—was plainiy considered by the Congressional Committee as a local process which the; might or might not choose to accor to foreign —_ authors, Irrespective of their rights of property, The pub: lishers agreed to the securing. of foreign authors’ books by this process, provided those autiors would publish their Works in this country. Tis 1s a sine qué non under the English law and the Copyright acts of the Continental countries, and the publish- ers claimed tha it was oniy fair the same proviso should be inserted im our Inter- National Copyright act—otherwise the books wouid be manufactured abroad and the publishing business 1n the United States would be restricted to books of which the copyright had expired, The cost of setting up the type lorms a very large element in the production of a book, ‘The pubiishers would thereiore find it impossible to induce Congress to make the duty on paper, giue, &c., heavy enough to equalize the difference in the value of labor abroad and at home, Moreover, a memorial had been pre- sented to Congress from many prominent English @utnors requesting the passage of @ bill securing them the remedies of & copyrignt statute and at the same time protecting the American publisher against his English competitor, With this docu- ment before them it was not likely that an anti-tree trage Congress would refuse the American publisher what he desired while the persons whose rignts ‘were concerned were quite wiiling to be obliged to puplish in America those vooks to be sold in America, Neither the bnglish nor American author cares as an author Where nis book is published, pro- vided be gets his rightful profits. As Congress would not pass any measure ailing to secure Ameri- can publishers agamst foreign competition but one question remained—whether # toreign autnor’s property in bis books was to remain witnout security until free trade was establixned, when naked «nternational copyright would find no pro- tective interest to oppose 1.’ or whether ail authors, American @ Well as English, saould unite their influence with fair-minded American pubiishers to carry @ measure that would “secure to Torelgn authors, for limited times, tho exclusive Tight’ to their productions. I some such course Was not chosen, the anti-copyisis bade fair to defeat all act.ve measures. If protectionist publishers in- sisted on their proviso in the bill, it was adverse to free trade, and not to foreign authors—it did not affect them oue tittle—they had nothing to do with the fignt between the English publisher a .d tne American pubisher. As Messrs. Appleton, Sheldon and Van Nostrand ag’ to strike out of their bill all limitations in point of time and reduce it to the simple measure above, Mr. Bristed authorized his lawyer, Mr. Andrews, to express to the comunitiee his concurrence in the bill adopted, At the jast meeting of the committee, Mr. Sheldon announced the adhesion of the publisners, and Mr. Andrews expressed the desire of ma: foreign authors to obtain the measure of their rights a8 incorporated = in the compromise plan, without to tariff questions, which Congress might settle as ad- ‘vised by those interested, “ile aie, stated that Mr, Bristed, the representative of the Copyright ASs0- Clation, did not wish to oppose this bill, ag the only practicable one, and while regarding revenue ques- fons as irrelevant to tne fact, assented to the measure in ity present shape, and hoped the bill woud pass. The resuit of the ‘whole discussion, as here embodied, 18 & substantial agrcement upon the plan of Hon. 8,8, Cox, ‘That gentieman nas Convurred ju the above form of enagiment, MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. Close of the English Opera Season. The second season of the Parepa-Rosa troupe closed on Saturday night in the same brilliant manner as that which characterized the first season, in October. The Academy of Music was crowded by at least as many people on this occasion a8 on that memorable night when Parepa and Wachtel sang in “Ii Trovatore.’? Orchestra, parquet, dress circle, boxes, and even the abode of the gods above, were crowded to suffocation, and before evening came it was impossible to purchase @ seat, ‘The cause of this unwonted spectacie in Lent was the announcement of the close of the most brillant season of English opera ever given in New York, and the appearance of Mr. Santley a8 Fra Diavolo, Tne celebrated baritone achieved another success surpassing that Which at- vended nis impersonation of Zampa. He exceeded even the high expectations formed of him, and in singing and acting displayed talents such as are very rare with artists nowadays. First as to bis voice. We have spoken before of its quality. There is not a weak point in all ita registers, 1f we can use such & distinctive expression in relation to an organ so perfectly even and homogeneous in its compass, from the lowest to the highest note. Every note is clear, rounded, distinct and beli-like in ite sweetness of tone. and has that penetrating senitey. which only such a perfect organ can give. Tne high culture of this voice and an artissi make al 1c a} lon of the rdle the ing of Mr. Santiey a rare treat, and leaves nothing to be desired. ‘et, for the his masses, great art is Dot likely to be appreciated at its full value at @ first hearing, for he never indulges in aught sevoriig of sensation or aiming at unauthor- ized effects, Those who go with the expectation of hearing Santiey a8 a sensational page will find themselves very much disappointed. In concerted Music he 1s careful not to disturb tne harmony which should exist between him and the other artists by an undue exercise of his boundless resources, and in solos he makes his voice subser- vient to the sentiment and the gituation, As was necessary for a baritone voice singing the réle of Fra Diavola there were numerous transpositions in the score, the most notable one beins the sere- nade in the second act—Young Agnes”—which was lowerea from A to G flat The well known Scena which opens the third act was delivered with an effect and bruliancy chat broughy down the house. Asan actor Mr. Sautley set all doubts on vhat score at rest on Saturday night, Ease, grace- fulness, with @ moderate degree of fire, were the characteristics of the impersonation. It 13 a pitv such @ consummate artist should not be heard in some of his other great roles, but it 1s probable that Mr. Rosa intends to reserve him for the Itallan Opera season in April, when he will appear conjointly with Wachtel, Parepa and Phillips, The rest of the cast was as follows:—Zer- lina, Mrs. Jenny Van Zandt; Lord and Lady Alicasn, Mr. and Mrs, Seguin; Beppo and Giacomo, Messrs. Campbell and Hall; Lorenzo, Mr. Whitfen, Mrs, Van Zandt was in excellent voice, and Mr. and Mrs, Seguin made the roles of the English tourist and his wile droli and charming. Campbell and Hall are the two best bandits that have appeared in this Opera at the Academy for many years, ‘The season commenced on February 5 with “Un Bailoen Maschera,”” Un the next evening, Ros sini’s “Gazza Lavra” was produced in grand style, aud on Wednesday “The Marriaze of Figaro,’ the same opera being repeated on Thursday night in Brooklyn before an overwhelming audience. Un Fri- day Mrs, Van Zandt sang Maritana, and ai the Saturday matin¢ée *‘The Bohemian Girl” was brought out, with Mme. Parepa Rosa and Mrs. Seguin in the cast, On the same evening o novelty was Offered in the shape of Cherubini's “Water Carrier” (‘Les Deux Journées”), ‘The past eK opened with the début of Saatiey in “Zampa,’? which opera was repeated on Wednesday and again on Thursday in Brooklyn before one of the largest audiences that the City of Churches could set forth, “Don Giovanni’ drew well on Tuceday and at the Saturday matinee, and the favorite of the troupe, Mrs. Seguin, had a benefit on Friday evening, the opera belug “Martha.” This 18 @ proud record for an operatic troupe alter a sec- ond engagement in this city during the same season, When it 1s considered that English opera can hardly be said 10 exist in England, and that former ven- tures here have been only successiul when at- tempted on a very small scale, this triumph which culminated on Saturday appears marvellous. ‘The only cuuse tobe assignea for it isthe admirable management that secured such an assemblage of recognized artists as even tue most fastidious puo- he could not ignore. With an ensembie of the strougest kind there was no difficulty 1n arranging the programmes so as to combine novelty with va- riety. ‘The troupe commence a two weeks’ eng: Ment to-night at the Philadelphia Academ: Music, and proceed thence to Baltlmore and ington. 4 of ash- Metropolitan Gossip.
