RUSSIA. Phe Alabama Claims in St. Petersburg—What | the KRossiane Say Ab. them—England | Stilt Accased—The Herald as the Benrer of Glad Tidings to the Palace. Sr, PETERSBURG, Feb, 11, 1872. The Catacazy excitement has here—as well as everyavhere eise—given place to the Alabama ques- ton. Personal difficulties and childish quarreis Jose their interest upon the appearance of questions relating to peace and war between two countries ake the Untied States and England; and Mr. Cata- @azy and his machinations have dwindled seem- lugiy nto Comparative insignificance. VER ANGLO-AMERICAN DIPFICULTY—WHAT 18 SAID ABOUT IT. When the news came that the Washington Cabt- met had decided not to reconsider thier interpreta- ten of the treaty there was quite an excitement at the “Bourse” here, and English and American se- eurtues went down with a suddenness that must have been exceedingly alarming for those wno were ebiiged to sell, and the probable results of a confict are discussed in a way that is somewhat amusing te those who, Jike myself, believe there is not the shghtest probability of a war between Eng- | land and the United States, “The Americans Would take Canada,” say some, “Yes,’) it 18 re- Plied, “but that would be no great loss to England and no great gain to the United States, especially if Canadians do not want to be annexed. England Would be getting off cheap with the loss of Canada fm exchange for the enormous claims brought for- ward by the Washington government.” “They might take the British West India pos- sessions,’”? says another. ‘No,’ replies a third; “that would necessitate a fleet capable of coping ‘with Engiand’s mighty navy—a feet the Americans © not possess and cannot constructin @ day.” “Their ewilt sating privateers might sweep Eng- Mesh commerce from the seas, however, in spite of their heavy lumbering tron-clads, that ‘will never be abie to give chase to the LIGAT-HEELED AMERICAN CRUISERS.” “That's true,” adds some one else, ‘put those iron-clads can bombard aud burn down the Amer dean seaboard towns.” “It will be a long and desultory struggte. be- cause the parties will never be able to get close enough together to measure fairly their strength, and it will consequently engender more hatred and bad biood than a regular fight where one of the ‘ties should be fairly beaten, as in the case of nce and Germany.” Andso the pros and cons and the probable chances and ultimate results are @iscussed as seriousiy as though war had been actually declared petween the two countries, NO DANGER. Those, however, who know the two peoples as ‘Well a3 they know themseives do not apprevend ony great danger trom tlis sudden attempt to equirm out of a tight place on one side and ine ebuilition of anger on the otuer. THE PAPERS here, 80 far, manifest little sympathy either way; Shey speak In a guarded manner avout the ques- @oa, and generaily content themselves with a@ bare statement of facts, without any com- menis. The ussian World, however, in giving @ résumé of the points at issue, remarked that Shey had been informed, upon the best authority, that Prince Gortschakoif had determined to use all his influence with tie Washington Cabinet to induce them to make their demands as moderate as pus- sible; but concluded with the curious and some- what siguificant ooservation that of course it would be diMcult to conceive how the claims of the Amer- dean government could be anything else than mod- erate. Tie Moscow Gazetie 1s also out mM an aruicle da which, aiter referring to THE PERKINS CLAIMS aad the moderate and impartial statementof the | Catacazy dithculty given by “the most important aad influential paper of America, the New York HERALD,” it maintains that the results have d@ewourtrated the truth of its previous asseruons jor which it was taken to task by the London Ton-s—an article in which it amtirmed that Engiand ‘was probably the prime moverin fomenting the Catacazy quarrel. The writer maintains that Eng- jana had very good reasons for creating a disturb. ance of the previous friendiy relations existing vetween Russia and America, in view of her iien- tion to withdraw the Alabama claims from the Geneva Court of Arbitration. THE DEMANDS OF THE AMBRICA\ While characterizing the demands of Ameri. can government a3 exorbitant and monstrous ne maintains that England evidently made the treaty tm bad faith and with a view to withdrawing her assent to the arbitration whenever it should suit her convenience to doo. The grounds thus taken by the Moscow paper are strong, and the opinions lt expresses gives at least a very fair Idea of the senmments entertained in Russia towards Nuglaud. GERMANY’S LITTLE ACCOUNT. The most curious report I have yet heard in re- rd to the matter 18 one current here accounting for the delight expressed by the German press at the statement of the American case, for the reason hat the German government proposes oringing an exactiy similar bil against the United States gov- ernment ior arms furnished #rauce daring the late | War. }t was even hinted at first that the American government had been apprised of tis intention, nd (hat iL Was Dot paruicuiarly averse to England's repudiating the Alabama claims altogether, Tue circulators Ol this report pretended that the treaty between Prussia and the United States, by which either were allowed to furnish arms to the adversaries of the other in case of war, would be pull, as the new principles laid down in the Ala- bama treaty may become retrospective In one case as well as in another, A GENERAL CONFLAGRATION MIGHT RESULT. I only give tne story to show what kind of reports one hears going about here and the commotivn the new phase of the Alabama treaty has created. it might be an interesting study, as forming & mice mean between conjecture and ‘caiculation to predict the consequences near and remote of 4 war between the United States and Englaud.

It, however, relates to a matter upon which great public incerest is excited, and it refers io the time ana to the circumstances under Which the American case was first received by Her Majesiy’s government. I understood from the night honorable gentleman on the first night of the ses #10n that he bad then been in possession of the case |; about & mouth, ane that it had been printed for tie , use of members of the Cabinet, Since then ine statement has been made, ana I am bound 1 say that statement has veen brougat belore me by what 1 deem autho that the American case wae in the possession of the government about the middle of December, and that within forty- hours after the first copy of NW was transmitied to the government a suiticient number ol copies were forwarded for the use @ the Cabi- net, Under these circumstances, I think tt would | be very interesting to the country if tue mght uon- orabie gentleman would more precisely inform the House as to the time and as to the circumstances under which the American case was first brought before Her Majesty's government. Mr, GLApSTONE—Such a statement would, no doubt, be very inveresting; bus it would be also con- venient if, with respect toa question of this kind, involving dates, numbers ana the time of receiving documents, some notice were given. the right honorable gentleman will have the kindness, in compliance with whe ordinary usage, to give the customary notice, I will take care that the best information We may possess on the subject is given to him. Ag regards the particulars of this question, therelore, Iunink | had better not attempt to enter upon them at the present moment, It is, however, a matter that will be perfectiy fair to make @ subject of general discussion should the ward on some future occasion, Lam anxious to make au addition to the answer I made the otber day in reply tv a gnestion of the noble tord opposite (Lord J. Manuers), with reference to a@ letter of Mr. Justice Willes, which upon the subject of this nighv’s debate, Mr, Justice Willes himself is anxious that a rather fuller statement of the case should be made, and ue has supplied it in his own words, which, with the permission of the House, 1 will read. The stat ot the learned Judge is to tne following effect slier Was appointed ne commmuni+ cated the faet to the learned Judge, who answered, congratulating bim upon bis promise of well-earned repose, and aiterwards told him ta conversation that irom the me the act passed he thought tt probable he would be appointed. So matters rested for two months, during whicn Mr. Justice Willes had no communication with the Lord Chancellor or with Sir R. Collier. On the 22d of Jan, Sirk. Collier wrote to Mr, Justice Willes stating that he had mentioned what the latter had said to the Lord Chancellor, who wished to be allowed to make use of nis com- municauon as a proof that notwithstanding the Lord Chief Justice's letter the judges were nov unanimous in condemning the legality of the ap- pointment. In answer to that letter Mr. Justice Willes wrote on the 24th of January to Sir R. Collier setting fortn hts views on the matter, and stating that he did not doubt the legality of the appointment, and that he had anticipated its being made. That letter was meant for Sir 4. Collier and his friends, including the Lord Chancellor. On the 6th of February the Lord Chancellor wrote to Mr. Justice Willes, asking whether he might make use of that letter in the course of the debate in the House of Lords, and the latter consented to his doing so, and that letter has since been published im the proceedings of the House of Lords, Mr. DISRABLI—The question which [just put to the right honorable gentieman is the same which I putto him on the first night of the session, and which he then answered without objection, and theretore I thought he would be happy to give the House some further explanation on the subject. The Murder in London by American—The Prisoner a Member of the New York Col- lege of Surgeons—Latest Developments of the Case. The following are further particulars of the mur- der at Lambeth, Loudon, of George Merrill by Wil. Mam Chester Minor, described as an American physician:— During the whole of Sunday, February 15, the detective police connected with the Lambeth di- vision were busily engaged in trying to discover motive of the accused. It appears that he isa mem. ber of the New York College of Surgeons, and that he 18 also @ man _ possessed of consid- erable wealth. On Sarurday might Detec- uve Sergeant Mullard was ordered by his superiors to proceed to the house where he had lived, No. 41 Tenison street, York road, Lambeth, and take possession of all papers, documents, &c., that he might tind, which he accordingiy did. Yes- terday all nis papers were carefully examined. One of the Jetters found mentioned that Mr. Minor was @ surgeon, that he had been a captain im the United States army, and that while on active service he had received u sunstroke which alfected is mind to such anextent that he could no longer practice asa Medical man. Another letter’ irom # well-known American was addressed to Mr. Ruskin, anu was a letter of introduction, — It stated that Mr. Minor was desirous of visiting England for the purpose of making sketches of its picturesque scenery, and vhat he was an artist of merit. A third letter stated that Mr. Minor had been advised by his friends and doctors to travel through Europe tn order to recover {ull possession of nis healt, which had peen in- jured by the sunstroke. Among the luggage found on Saturday night by the detectives at Mr. Minor’s lodgings at 41 ‘Tenigon sireet, were several very beautiful sketches of London and the surrounding country, Which had been drawn by the prisoner, A great quantity of money and drafts on bankers police station, The American Minister has been communicated with, and telegrams have been sent over to the American police authorities at New York, Up to the present time the police have not been able to ascertaim in @ definite manner the actual reason that iuduced Minor to fire, but thev have discovered that he was entirely unacquainted with him. A statement has been made that Minor was induced by a young woman to enter a house near Tenison street, and that he was alterwards robbed by her “baily,’’ and that he was waiting on Satur. day morning to shoot the “bully,” and mistook Merritt for him and snot him. ‘That statement the police do not velieve. Yesterday the police recetved @ very great num- ber of communications, and one of the most im- portant of them was the tollowing:—A maa named Thomas Pallington, employed a8 a warehouseman at the Lion Brewery Company, Belvedere road, Lam- beth, has a wife in the Coiney Hatch Lunatic Asy- lum, and upon her death he bécomes entitied to £1,700, and if he dies that money goes to other per- sons, Last week it was rumored that Mrs, Palling- ton was dying, and It is now stated that Minor called during Inst week no jess than three times at the Lion Brewery 10 ask if he could see Palitnuton, and that he also asked at what time Pailington Was in the habit of coming to the brewery, It is insinuated that if Pailington died money would come to him, One thing 1s certain, and that is that he is accurately deserved as the person who calied at the brewery and asked about Pallington, A inend of Pallington last might showed our reporter a letier watch bad been writtea trom New York and received in Lambeth on Friday morning, in whica these words were used—"“These —— Yankees must be puta stop to,” ‘that let it is believed, re- ferred to the proceedings of @ society, and it is said that Minor saw tt.

Rouher’s reply; “put L will answer your question by asking another, Does the National Assembly represent the present feeling of the French nation? ‘The republican party of every shade of opimion wiil be the first to tell you that 1t does not, and that if there was a general election in France’to-morrow the majority | of the Chamber would be composed of radicals, in comparison with whom M, Gambetta and the gen- | uemen of the 4th of Faneniee would be conserva- | tives, if not reactionsts, The monarcnical party know this, and they dare not dissolve the Assem- | bly. Even the moderate republican party dare not | appeal to the country, for the result would ve a Chamber very tar 10 advance of themselves,” Here I ovjected:—“There is no legal reason why the Assembly should be dissolved; if may remain for an midefinite me, and as public opinion has, you say, changed in the couotry, it may change asin enone more conservative.” the diculties of the country. ‘Tbe Chamber has | deciared itself ‘constituent; it must, therefore, | constitute something. Can it declare the republic? What would the varions subdivisions of the monar- chical party sav to that? Would they for a moment entertain the idea? On the other hand, can they declare a monarchy? Whom will they take for Has the Comte de Chambord a chance? He : honorable, — high-minded but do they forfn such a majority as could ever pi: him on the ,throne—iar 18s Keep him there? In France it is not as in Eng- land, where the reai strength and power o1 the country 18 virtu hy in the hands of the nobility, the landed gentry, the wealthy bankers or merchants, { the higher clergy and the distinguished lawyers. In France the strength of the country is with the bourgeoisie, the middle classes, and the masses of } the small proprietors, the peasants. Do you be- heve that with these Henri Cing would ever be ac- | cepted as King of France?” “What,” lasked, ‘of the Orleanists?”? “The difficulty 1s not one whit less with them, To begin with, they are greatly divided among themselves, Some wish for @ fusion with the elder vranch; others for a King elected by themselves; some for a temporary Presidency under the Duc d’Aumale; others for the Comte de Paris to be declared, independent of all other considerations, the her of Louis Philippe. In a word, no scheme of naming ® monarch for France can be carried out | by the Assembly, although it has declared itself | constituent, aud although the majority of tne Chamber are monarchists. nd 1t 1s the same with regard to the republic, The monarchical party in the Assembly can only agree upon one point, and that 1s to prevent the republic from pete cds jared permanent, and to maintain what they themselves biume every day im louder and louder tones—the provistonal state of affairs as it now exists, which cannot by any possibility last must longer. “Would not the same dificulty exist as to the em- ire?” T asked; “would not every party in the Cham- r unite to exclude it from power ?? “At present, yes,’’ was the reply, “but we must, and we do, wait our time, The empire 1s becoming daily more aud more the only government possible 1n France, and those who know how to wait will end by governing. You asked me just now about our in- trigues. What need nave we to intrigue even if we had, as we have not, the will and the power? ‘the passing events of the day are intriguing for us. M, ‘Thiers is intriguing for us, His protecuonist policy has done us more good than anything we could Dave devised, and a year hence, when the fruits ; of the protective duties are felt, he will have done us more good than can now be imagined. What France wants is order and se- curity. The Assemoly, not being able to consti- tute any definite form of government. must end by dissolving itself, If tt does so tnere will ve for the country the alternative of anarchy under a very red republic, or order under the empire, Which do you think France will select? I repeat, opinions may differ as to the best form of government; but there can be but one opinion what 1s the only gov- ernment possible.”” “But,” L said, “if the Assembly does not select the form of government for France, who is to do s0— who will nave the power ?”” = “The direct vote of the people,” said M, Rouher, “The imperialists form the sole party in France that is not only not afraid of an appeal to the people, | but that courts their decision, Kven now, with |} every pubiic servant in Lhe provinces thatever | served under the empire turned adrili, if a plébis- cite were called for througnout France we should have an overwhelming majority—larger even than when the Emperor was in power.” “Are you quite sure of that” Lasked. “perfectly s0,"’ he replied, “Strange as it may ap- pear, If a general election took place now, I believe the majority of the Chamber would be red—per- haps very red. The reason 1s that the re- pubiicans are pushing, coniident and plausi- ble, and deem it a point of honor to vote; whereas the men of order get frightened, abstam from voting and let things go much as they may. Not so, however, in an appeal made direct to the peopie at large. On such occasions the peasant 18 not afraid that he will mcur the anger of those against whom he votes; for although we have the bailot the untversal cus- tom in France 1s for every man to tell openly how he | votes at an election, Let, however. three proposi- | tons be put before the country—whetaer the peopte Want ‘the empire,’ ‘a monarchy,’ or ‘the republic,’ and we have no fear of the result. The empire would be proclaimed a week after. And as proof of this you must have noticed that the imperialist press and party alone ask for a plebiscite; every other political section in France which appears to scorn the scheme is evidently afraid of it.’ “Then your present policy,” I remarked, “is to await events 1” “Exaotly so,” said M, Rouher: “events are work- ing for us much faster than a year age we had hope of, and hardly @ political incident takes place in or out of the Chamber that does not advance our cause, The empire, = may depend upon it, Is not ouly the future, but the only government for France; and even now foreigners, as well as Frenchmen, are commencing to believe in this theory.” Such are the opinions of a statesmen who, though himseit the chief of the imperialist party, las the universal reputation of being one of the clearest-headed men that ever held office in France. MURDER IN HUNTER'S POINT, The Wife of a Canal Boat Captain Murdered. On Friday night Joseph F. Taylor, captain of a canal boat lying in Newtown Creek, missed his wile Sarah, and after long search, notwithstanding the denial of Henry H, Willis, captain of a canal boat lying alongside, he found her drunk in his (Wilts) canal boat. This falsehood of Willis so enraged Taylor that he attackea Willis, and an altercation ensued, Finally Willis) was rein- forced by his wife Mary, who commenced to beat with a club the drunken woman. ‘Taylor, finding at Jast that himeelf anda wife were getting the worst of the fight, started for a police. | man, Not finding one in Hunter’s Point or being avle to persuade one from Greenpoint to arrest Willis he returned to the canal boat, and was much surprised to find no trace of his Wile, Yesterday Willis and his wile were arrested, charged with the murder of Mrs, Tavior, and brought before Recorder Pearsalls for examination. ‘the dgnt was admitted by both parties, and its sanguinary character was attesied by the bloody deck. When Taylor leit tor the policeman both of the Willises were beating his Wile. Wills says that immediately on the de- parture of Taylor they desisted from the attack and he, togetner with one of the deck hands, named MeCorinick, went to Calahan’s liquor store, On the other bund there 1s no doubt but what the body of Mrs. ‘Taylor found its way into. the river, a8 no one leit ut tin the absence of Mr. Taylor. Screams of @ woman, as if in We Water, were heard by per- sons in the neighborhood; but other voices being heard near [o the spot, it was supposed she was rescued.

Bribery 18 emphatically the prominent curse of our country to-day, and he 1s his country’s greatest Denefactor that shall institute successful measures to suppress it, Tne most efticient way to suppress itis to prosecute with energy every scoundrel wno dares attempt to corrupt his neighbor with a bribe, iv requires money to conduct such prosecutions, and my suggestion is that you make the $10 re- ceived trom Mr. Dexter A. Hawkins the nucleus of @ public {und to be used in bringing to justice ull miscreants who, judging their neighbors by them- selves, think that men, like sheep, can be bought for $10 a head, and accordingly invest their miser- able money tor such purchases. ‘All men who attempt to bribe any one are knaves, but the.man who atlempts wo bribe the HERALD with a paltry $100r any other sum isa knave and @ 1001 too, CHARLES.

Rulloff this spring, It was re- cently destroyed by a lot of rufians vecause of a BC lowers laid on it by a lady who had never seen Ruloff, but who believed him worthy of some re- spect, for he Was not @ drunkard or a libertine, and those are characters which it 18 not rare for men to possess in this section.

Tne Committee of Twenty-two, however, through its cheirman, John Kelly, asked for further Ume, and it was accordingly agreed upon that the report would be reaiy and be presented at a meeting to be heid next saturday evening. Mr. ro stated that the Committee of Twenty-two had finished its labors and arrived at @ conclusion upon disputed puints, but some of its Mempers nad had conversations on the subject of reorganization with leaaing democrats of this city, and it was then found that the Latter were not at ail in harmony with the views of the committee. Hence some more time was needed in order that changes should be made in the report. Short speeches were made during the meeting by Augus- al Senell, Mr. Ottendorfer, Mr. Uhanler and Mr, ‘LOW. tis probable that about fifty-four ont of the one hundred and odd disputed claims for membership shall be decided in favor of the claimants, It is not yeu determined upon whether or not the elec- tion tor membership of the General Committee shall be by wards or by Assembly districts. ‘MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
