The proceedings of the arbitration in ‘Geneva with a view to the settlement of the Alabama claims is at a complete standstill, and will remain so until the American reply to the English protest has been received from Wash- ington.

Gord Tenterdcn’s Definition of the Engligh Counter Case—Qucen Victorip’s Note Against Indirect Damages and in General Defence of Her Right of Action. Lonbos; April 16, 1872. ‘The following note accompanied the counter case delivered to the Board of Arbitration at Geneva yesterday on behalf of Great Britain:—# The undersigned is instructed by Her Majesty's government to say that, while presenting their counter case under the special reservation herin- after mentioned, they Ond it incumbent upon them ‘to inform the arbitrators that a misunderstanding has unfortunately arisen between Great Britain and the United States touching the nature and extent ‘of the claims referred to in the Treaty of Washing- ton. Tho misunderstanding relates to claims for indirect losses under three heads— First—Loss in the transfer of American shipping to the British flag. Second—Loss from en hanced insurance. Thtrd—L.oss from prolongation of the war. The claims for indirect losses are no admitted by Her Majesty's government to be within the scope and intention of the arbitra- tion. Her Majesty's government have been and still are in correspondence with the government of the United states in relation thereto. As that corre- spondence has not been brought to a final issue Her Majesty's government desire that the arbitra- tion shall proceed with reference to claims for direct loss. They have thotight it proper, mean- time, to present a counter case, which is strictly confined to direct claims, in the hope that the un- fortunate misunderstanding may be removed. Her Majesty's government hereby expressly and formally notify the arbitrators that the counter case is presented without prejudice to the posi- tion assumed by Her Majesty’s government in the correspondence Whereto reference has been made, and under express reservation of all Her Majesty's rights in the event of a difference continuing to exist between the parties. If necessery further communication will be made to the arbitrators. TENTERDEN, Press Statement of the Difficulty and Its Probable Result. Lonpow, April 16, 1872, ‘Aspecial despatch’ from Geneva to the London News says:—‘‘It is feared that the nature of the protest against the jurisdiction of the arbitrators at Geneva over the American claims for indirect damages, which accompanies the British counter case, may prevent a scttiement of the dispute be- tween England and America arising under those claims.”” TEE QUESTION IN PARLIAMENT. | eigen Ministerial Exposition of the Presentation of the Counter Case—The American Reply in Vin- dication of the Treaty of Washington.

The Most Noble the Marquis of Bute Married to Lady Fitzalan Howard. Grand Ceremonial in the Oratory at Brompton. Aristocratic Representation and Popular Rejoic- ing—Present from Pius the Ninth to the Bride—Sketches of the Happy Pair. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, April 16, 1872. ‘The Most Noble the Marquis of Bute, was married tothe daughter of Lord Edward George Fitzalan Howard this morning. The ceremony was solemnized in the Roman Catholic Oratory at Brompton. Its solemnization Was witnessed by a great concourse of spectators, The Baroness Burdett-Coutts, the Duchess of Argyll, Baron Rothschild, the Duke of Norfolk and many other noble personages were presented to the newly married couple. Among the many presents sent to the bride was a set of cameo brooches from His Holiness Pope Pius the Ninth, Sketches of the Happy Pair. ‘The marriage unites some of the most exalted families of the British aristocracy—those of the Howards of Norfolk, of Crichton-Stuart of the Barony and Marquisite of Bute, and of the Talbots, of Shrewsbury. The bride is daughter of Lord Edward George Fitzalan Howard, younger son of Henry Charles, thirteenth Duke of Norfolk, by Lady Charlotte So- phia, daughter of the Duke of Sutherland, She is thus niece to Henry, Duke of Norfolk, ‘The lady 1s, it is said, twenty-eight years of age. The bridegroom is the Right Hon. John Patrick Crichton-Stuart, Marquis of Bute, the only son of John, the second Marquis, by his wife, Lady Sophia Cristina, daughter of the Marquis of Hastings. He was born in the year 1847, and is, consequently, twenty-five years ofage. He was educated at Har- row, and in Christ Church, Oxford. The Marquis is a Deputy Licutenant for the county of Ayr, Heredit- ary Keeper of Rothesay Castle, and the patron—al- though now a Roman Catholic—of twelve benetices or “livings’’ in the Established Church of England. ‘The Marquis of Bute is enormously rich, his income exceeding £300,000 sterling per annum, independ- entof the savings of this huge revenue during a number of years, which he received in a lump. fis conversion to the Roman Catholic Church some few ears since, with his open profession of that faith in kome and his present to the Pope of the magnifi- cent cross of gold and diamonds which was borne in front of the episcopal procession in St, Peter's at the opening ceremonial of the Vatican Council, pro- duced a deep sensation in the Christian world. The Crichton-Stuart family descends from an illegiti- mate son of King Robert the Second of Scotland. le ancestors and family of the bride, the Howards, of Norfolk, have ever been Roman Catho- lies, no titled representative of the family having swerved froin that particular form of faith, even at the moment of the English Reformation, or subse- quently during the operation of the penal laws. Despite all this the Duke of Norfolk, of the moment, has always been recognized as the Premier Duke and Earl of Britain, and at each succeeding corona- tion of the monarehs of the kingdom names, in his capacity of Earl Marshal, the knight who offers battle in his behalf and that of the nation to any disputant of the royal title to the throne, THE CHURCH. The particular “place of worship,” or church, in which the marriage was to be performed was kept @ profound secret by the members of the family of the bridegroom and of the bride from the very moment of the formal signing of the nuptial con- tract until yesterday morning. It appears, as was argued by their friends, that thousands of tr uinking individuals in Great Britain have taken it into their heads that the “Lothair” of Disraeli is, to a great extent, public pro- perty, and were the /ocus of his marriage known far and wide, a respectable crowd of “Derby Day” dimensions would be one of the horrors the masters of the ceremony would have to provide aguinst. They consequently guarded against it, and the curious who asked for information received the courteous reply that it would “take place in or near London.” The neat and very aristocratic church building, known as the Oratory of the Fathers, at Brompton, had been decided upon not- withstanding, a fact which was duly made known to “a few friends” of the families of those more im- mediately interested, THE HONEYMOON. The noble bride and bridegroom left Glossop yesterday afternoon and proceeded to the Countess of Loudoun’s seat, at Donnington Park, near Derby, where they will remain for about a fort- night, and then go to Cardiff Castle, REJOICINGS IN CARDIFF, A special meeting of the Cardiff Town Council was convened a short time since for the purpose of taking into consideration in what manner the town should celebrate the marriage of the Marquis of Bute, chief seat of residence being at Cardiiy Casth morganshire. It was agreed to make a general holiday in the town. Banquets, public and rivate, were organized, and a grand subsctiption ball in the Drill Hall wound up yes- terday’s festivities. A suggestion was made that a jéte and gala should take place in the Sophia Gardens fields, so that the youngsters and such of the more staid members of the community as do not patuonize balls would have an opportunity of enjoying themselves. Combined ac- tion enabled the inhabitants of the town to make ot y id thus, so far as out- it, reflect the feelings of genuine lov pitants entertain for the noble lord who brought home his fair bride to the hails of the Castle. ‘ AUSTRO-HUNGARY. —-—-« Imperial Speech to the Hungarian Parliament— Peace, with Progress. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Pesta, April 16, 1872. ‘The session of the Hungarian Diet was closed to- day by the Emperor Francis Joseph in person. In his speech from the throne His Majesty dwelt with deep satisfaction on the five years of the suc- cessful working of the Austro-Hungarian compro- mise, During that time the prosperity of the coun- try had heen steadily increasing. The relations with foreign powers were on a good footing, and, with peace at home and abroad, there was every prospect that the progress of the kingdom would be uninterrupted. BOSTON REVENUE FRAUDS. The Revenue Detectives Actively at Work —An Immense Stock of Liquors Seized and Handed Over to the United States Marsh Boston, April 16, 1872. The difficulties between the United States gov- ernment and several of the large importing firms of this cits, previously alluded to in my despatches, fre in a fair way of adjustment. One of the most prominent of the merchants spoken of has settled his forfeiture of $100,000 and is endeavoring to effect a compromise of the six remaining complaints against him, which, if the law was strictly enforced, would deplete his available funds | by the amount in round numbers of half a million | of dollars. Other dealers are pursuing a similar course, and there is good reason to suppose that the anticipated troubles will blow over and redound greatly to the credit of the government of- ficlals, who have n energetically working up the case, without, however, giving publicity to the names of the firms on whose business they have been engaged. In this connection it may be stated the revenue officials have not been idle in their quarters, Quite a commotion was created in South Market street yeaterday afternoon in consequence of the seizure of a large stock of liquors from the store of George W. Torrey, by special officers Horton Restieux and Hutchins. The entire — stock, valued at some $20,000, has been examined and turned over by Collector Hayes to the United States Marshal for forfeiture to the government. The seizure was made by order of Supervisor Sim: | mons, for violation of the Internal Revenue laws. It | {a supposed that the cause of the seizure has grown out of the fact of the refusal on the part of the counsel of Perry & Co., to produce the books of the firm upon the summons of Supervisor Simmons, their counsel, Mr. Henry D. Hyde, desiring to test the constitutionality of that portion of the revenue act Which requires the production of the business books of a firm.

The English Report of Non-Reconcilement and Approaching Trouble Between the Na- tions—Origin, Assertion and Probable Inspiration of the Allegation. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. LONDON, April 16, 1872. The following statement gives the only authority and foundation, so far as can be ascertained, for the reported differences between France and Germany, mention of which was made in the cable de- spatches yesterday. ‘The London Zelegraph, of Monday morning, April 15, basing an editorial article upon assertions made by its own Paris and Berlin correspondents, said :—“We regret to learn of the relations between France and Germany, the critical condition whereof—made known through these columns—is causing the greatest anxiety to those by whom it is best appreciated.” The 7elegraph further expressed the belief that it is “only by the exercise of discre- tion at Paris and Berlin that grave complications may be avoided.” The statements of the correspondents, upon which the foregoing was predicated, are in sub- stance, that Germany distrusts the good faith of France, and is displeased at -the extent of the armament and military organization which the ‘Thiers government is carrying forward, and that Prince Bismarck is about to enter a formal protest against the course France is pursuing, in which he will declare the necessity for prompt and decisive action on the part of Germany, even to the extent of reoccupying the departments of France lately evacuated by the troops of the empire. In addition to these statements of the correspondents the Telegraph asserted editorially that it knows, on the highest authority, that the speech of M. Thiers, at the adjournment of the French Assembly, “created a grave impression at Berlin.” Neither the letters nor editoriols of any other London newspaper give confirmation or counte- nance to the assertions of the Telegraph, and, while it has been hinted that that journal is in some way in the service and interest of the German Chancel- lor, amore general impression is that the whole story Is fabricated either as a “sensation” or with the design of aiding some speculative scheme. ~ GERMANY. ila Labor and Capital in Conflict in Berlin.

The Wisconsin Land Steal Defi- nitely Dead. NEW CIVIL SERVICE REGULATIONS, —_—--—— A District Court Law for Utah. WASHINGTON, April 16, 1872. The Tariff and Revenue in the House A House Rule on Committee Reports— The Wisconsin Steal Buried Very Deep. Mr. Dawes reported the Tariff bill to-day, or, as it is called, a bill to reduce duties on imports and in- ternal taxes, upon which, he said, with the permis- sion of the committee, he should offer some amend- ments to provisions of the bill which did not meet with his approbation. He was in favor of a greater reduction, would have Preferred the removal of all internal taxes except those on tobacco and distilled spirits, and favored a much larger free list. Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, asked to have a minority report printed representing the views of himself and Mr. Maynard, of Tennessee. Both these gentlemen are in favor of a high protective tariff, so high as to amount to prohibition. Mr. Beatty objected, where- upon several members asked Mr. Beatty to with- draw his objection, Mr. Brooks, of New York, who is a member of the committee, asked for information as to who composed the minority. He had supposed himself and another gentleman wore the minority. Permission was given to print the minority report offered by Mr. Kelley. Mr. Dawes was somewhat subdued in manner, and had his remarks written, the first evidence of weakening which the leader of the House has dis- played. Considerable surprise is manifested by members that he reported the bill, and still more that, reporting it, he should make a speech against. it, Mr. Kelley and Mr. Maynard were opposed to putting the bill Into Mr. Dawes’ hand to report, as he was avowedly against it, and the opinion is fully expressed that Mr, Dawes! intention is to kill this bill and pass only an Internal Revenue bill. Mr. Blaine, the Speaker, comes in for his share of criticism in the manner of forming the “commit- tee.” His defence is that he was guided in his se- lection of its members somewhat by the expressed will of the House as it had been shown in votes upon the questions of reducing the tax on certain articles and placing others on the free list during last spring; that in choosing a chairman for a com- mittee representing three distinct shades of opinion in regard to the question of tarlif and revenue re- form was a difficult and delicate task, and in select- ing Mr. Dawes he had been governed by what seemed to him to be in the interests of harmony, The majority of the committee, who reported the bill to-day, claim that the reductions it proposes in tariff duties are applied with a view to secure the greatest benefit to consumers with the least dis- turbance of business and injury to producers. It reduces the duty on leather, iron and steel and copper and their manufactures, and wool, woollens and cotton goods about $10,000,000, reducing the average duties on those articles from fifty and one-quarter per cent ad valorem on the valua- tion of the imports of those articles during the last fiscal year to forty-three per cent. The reductions are made upon the highest duties while those less excessive are slightly reduced or undisturbed. In cottons, the cheap low grades, which ran up to sixty and seventy per cent, are most heav- ily reduced; the more expensive, and upon which are the heaviest importations, being under existing law limited to thirty-flve per cent ad valorem, are not changed. The present duty upon woolen cloth is compound, being a spe- cifle of fifty cents per pound and thirty-five per cent ad valorem. The specific duty was arranged by the Wool manufacturers as an equivalent for the taritt duty on wool, and in the present bill is reduced in the same proportion as the duty upon wool, making the reduction in specific duties upon woolens, ex- cept carpets, about three million dollars. This being merely compensatory for the equivalent proportion of the wool -duty, was not considered by the committee as any realreduction on woolens, On the ad valorem the rate is five per cent less, that is, thirty per cent ad valorem, The wool tariff of 1867 gave ten per cent to the manufacturers as compensation for the six per cent internal revenue tax, since repealed, The committee decided to take off five instead of the whole of this compensatory ten per cent. They claim that the $10,000,000 reduction on tariff duties gives $60,000,000 of benefit and real reduction to consumers, the domestic production being nearly five times the imports, The amount of the reduction, on the basis of last year’s receipts, is as follows :— ESTIMATED REDUCTION ON THE BASIS OF TIES OF 1871. QUANTI- Steel and Wool. see Woollen manufacturers. Woollen carpets Cotton manufacturers. Copper and manufacturers o} Chemicals, drugs éc Cork, manufactured Lumber, nufacturers of, Matches 2,250,000 Agreement stamps, Stimated: "100,000 In addition to these reductions the committee has endeavored to throw safeguards around the administration of our Custom Houses, and has greatly simplifed the the internal revenue. It has consolidated into an equivalent tax of sixty-five cents nearly all of the several taxes upon whiskey. It has removed many of the annoying and restrictive provisions of the existing law, obstructing the business of the distiller and harrassing the commerce in that article. It has provided instead of sixteen cents for smoking tobacco and thirty-two cents for chewing tobacco, a uniform tax of twenty cents per pound upon all kinds of to- bacco, and has at the same time provided a safe method for exporting tobacco as well as spirits directly from the manufactory without the cumbersome forms and unsatisfactory draw- backs of the existing law; and it has been its en- deavor, while reducing taxation, to make more effl- cient, and, if possible, at the same time, less bur- densome and annoying, the laws that shall enforce | the duties and taxes which remain, The bill was put down for Tuesday next in Com- mittee of the Whole, and a lively time is expected laws pertaining to over the discussion of it with Mr, Dawes’ amend. | menta. The Speaker called attention to a speech made by Mr. Beatty on Saturday last, reflecting upon arul- | ing made by him on Tuesday, the 9th inst., regard- ing the right of the Committe on Printing to report atany time, At that tine Mr. Beatty wished to report @ bill providing for the printing and dis- tributing of public documents. The Speaker decided that, although the Committee on Printing was authorized to report at any time, it was only | upon matters of printing, the right not inhering in the committee to report any subject matter but that alone pertaining to printing. Mr. Beatty bit terly assailed the decision of the ker, and mate ale iene | tions from decisions of Speakers Winthrop and (bb, To-day the Speaker called attention to this actio”® of Mr. Beatty, and devoted about twenty minu.** #4 @ review of the position taken by himself upon vt ¢casion. Mr, Beatty replied with some feeling, repeating 1D substance the position taken in his speech’ 00 Saturday, and making it somewhat personal in sfy:? #2 mannor, ‘The action of the Speaker was defended “VY Messrs, Banks, Dawes, Garfleld and Cox. Mr. Banks oxered 4 resolution which sustained the action of the: Speaker by a vote of 136 to 6. The St. Croix and Bayfleld Railroad bill received its death blow to-day ina refusal of the House to recede from its former action, and it now remains to be seen whether the homestead provision will be Sustained by the Senate receding from its action upon the bill, Mr, Rusk, with the recklessness of desperation, insisted upon fighting after the House had decided by a vote of 115 to 57 not to recede from its former action, but it was of no use, and the St. Croix job is buried, Civil Service Regulation: The Civil Service Board, with the Departmental Advisory Board, were in session to-day for several hours, making arrangements for the immediate execution of the new rules and regulations, ‘The following was issued to-day :— EXECUTIVE ORDER, The Advisory Board of the Civil Service having completed the grouping contempiated by the rules already adopted, have recommended certain pro- visions for carrying the rules into effect. ‘The recommendations as herewith published are ap- proved, and the provisions will be enforced as rap- ily as the proper arrangements can be made, and the thirteenth of the rules adopted on the 19th day of December last is amended to read as published herewith, and diligence will be expected of all officers in every branch of the public service, Political as- sessments, a8 they are called, have been forbidden within the various departments; and while the right of all persons in oMcial position to take part in politics is acknowledge and the elective franchise is recognized as a high trust to be discharged by all entitled to its exercise, whether in the employment of the government or in private life, honesty and eMciency, not political activity, will determine the tenure of office, U. 8. GRANT. set the President—HaMILTon Fisu, Secretary of State. The report of the Advisory Board of the Civil Ser- vice, with accompanying regulations, has been pro- mulgated. The regulations, as stated by the Advi- sory Board, limit and modify the operation of the rules already adopted, so far as the welfare of the service seems to require. It is stated to be desira- ble that every part of the country should have an equal chance in the competition for executive offices at Washington, and to that end it is recommended that the Advisory Board may direct, when examinations shall be held for such appointments in the various States. The Board also expresses the opinion that where an officer has discharged his duty oMeially, and his reappoint- ment seems desirable, there is no good reason that he should not be appointed at discretion, In such a case his oficial service has been both an exami- nation and a probation, and they therefore recom- mend, that when the term of an officer expires by limitation of law, the incumbent may be reap- pointed at pleasure. While deprecating perpetual proscription, it is recommended that no person shall be appointed to a position in the service who shall not have fur- nished satisfactory evidence of his fidelity to the The utmost fidelity Union and the constitution, Regarding the customs service, the Board recom- mends that when vacancies occur in chief positions the Secretary of the Treasury shall ascertain if there be suitable and available persons already in the customs service within the district in which such a chief vacancy occurs, and if such positions are found that the appointment shall be made from them; butif they are not found it may be made at discretion, Regarding the Consular service it is recom- mended that if the compensation is $3,000, or more, the positions shall be made at the discretion of the Executive; less than that and more than $1,000, it is suggested that the positions be made in accord- ance with the rules governing clerical and other appointments, The report also deals at length with grading and grouping officers in the Executive Department, in collector's and surveyor’s offices and in the internal revenue service, In the Assistant Treasury at New York the Board propose three groups, of which the first ineludes the Deputy Assistant Treasurer as the highest grade, and officers whose salary is $2,000 or more, but less than $2,500 as the lowest. The second group includes, as the highest grade, officers whose annual salary is $1,200 or more, but less than $1,400, The third group comprises clerks whose annual salary is loss than $1,200. From this arrangement it results that an officer who enters at the lowest grade of the first group, and who receives a salary of more than $2,000, is in the first line of promotion to the Deputy Assistant Treasurership. In the various other Assistant Treasuries the first group includes in their order all officers subordinate to the Assistant Treasurer, or Depositary, whose salaries are not less than $1,200, The second group includes all other clerks, and the third includes the female counters. In the postal service they propose for the posi- tions which are not included in arrangements made for the General Post Office at Washington, three groups for every local post office, of one of which the postmaster is highest grade, and clerks whose | annual salary is $1,200 or more, but less than $1,400, | the lowest; another group consisting of clerks whose salary is less than $1,200, and another of let- ter carriers. ‘The regulations which are appended to the re- port are nineteen in number, and specify in sepa- | rate detail the requirements alluded to in a general way in the preceding report. Ben Butler and the Meeting To-Night. Tt was the intention of General Butler to have at- tended the meeting of the friends of Grant in New York to-morrow evening, in response to the invita- tion of the committee. We learn this evening that as he has an adjourned case before the Supreme | Court to-morrow he cannot attend. The Late Money Lock-Up. The Committee on Banking and Currency had Mr. Smith, the New York Wall street financier, before them to-day, in relation to the late lock-up ofmoney matters in New York. Ilis testimony was short but to the point. He sald he was short in some stocks, and concluded to make a dash and create a stringency in the money market, which he did by calling in four millions of capital loaned out to operators. This course had the effect to lower stocks aad accomplish just what he wanted, sCapture of Juaristas on American Soll, The Cabinet was in session for about two hours to-day, all the members being present excepting Secretary Delano, who Is still West.
