He hoped the lesson the country had received in this Alabama business Prould be a salutary one for all nations, ‘ Mr, Hugessen, Under Secretary for the Colonies, {protested against the neediess discussion at this fate day, over the Washington Treaty. It was the @reatest mistake to suppose that Canadian in- Merests had been injured by it. The Canadians Mhemselves thought otherwise. Sir Charles Adderley regarded with alarm the @octrine that England was reponsibie for the acts ‘of colonial offiviais. \ The subject was then dropped. WOMAN'S RIGHTS.

THE NORTHFLEET DISASTER, Im the House of Lords this evening the Earl of Carnarvon inquired whether there was any con- vention with Spain by which the efficers and crew Of the steamer Murillo might be held to answer for he disaster to the emigrant ship Northfeet. He mrged the importance of revising the marine signal system so as to made it more effective in time of anger. The Earl of Lauderdale expressed the opinion that no criminal proceedings would held against the Murillo’s officers, unless it could be shown that Manslaughter had been committed.

The Spener Gazette hopes the United States will ‘annex the Sandwich Islands, but deprecates the ‘acquisition of Cuba, because it would be difficult to ‘americanize an island where the climate, religion ‘@nd manners are so different from those of the States. The incorporation of the Sandwich Islands ‘with the American Republic, however, would be a Penelt te eivilization. RUSSIA. Amperial Preparations for the Reception of the Shah of Persia.

The President’s Reported Order to the Army Not Generally Credited—The Saints Greatly Agitated Over the Pre: it Deplorable Condition of Un- godly Government. Saur LAKE Cry, Feb, 7, 1873. Considerable excitement was created here this evening by a despatch from Chicago stating that the President had determined, as a matter of policy, to remove all troops from the Southern States and station them in reasonable contiguity to Utah. The Mormons affect disbelief in the re- port, but are evidently much disturbed. The Gen- tiles and dissenting Mormons all rejoice. Mr. Claggett’s speech on Utah is universally ap- lauded by the Gentiles as the best composition of the truth about Mormon rule ever given to Con- gress. It 18 stated that a company is being formed in Washington, D. C., to establish in this city a first class daily paper in the imterest of anti-Mormon sentiments, with a cash capital of $100,000. ‘The Herald (Mormon) says Senator Logan’s bill in reference to Utah is clearly unconstitutional.

KANSAS BRIBERY INVESTIGATION, ToPeKka, Feb. 7, 1873. The Pomeroy Investigating Committee held a session, with closed doers all day, taking the testi- mony of Senator York. The committee refuses to allow the tcarimony to be published, on the grouna that the object of the investigation might thus be deteated. Mr, Yerk'’s testimony to-day, however, was merely a repetition in detail of the exposure he made at the time of the Senatorial election. THE DEFAULTING CASHIER, The Government Examiner Finds That Shate Has Stolen from the Granite State Bank a: ings ik of Exe- ter Nearly Two H red and Twenty Thousand Dollars. Exeter, N. H., Feb. 7, 1873, C. S.

Appleton Shute, to the amount of from $90,000 to $100,000, and that the assets of the bank are more than sufficient to pay allliabilities, A meeting ef the steckholders wii! be called to take measures to repair the joss and continue the bank. The amount embezzled from the Exeter Savings Bank funds, of which institution Shute was treasurer, when added to the above, on total amount stolen from $210,000 te 220,000, No clew as yet has been obtained to the where- abouts of the defauiter, SUDDEN DEATH, PROVIDENCE, R.

Count Bernstorff, the new Secretary of the German Legation, who had been at the Brevoort House for a week og more, yesterday returned to Washington. ‘There was one divorce granted %o every fourteen and a half marriages in Rhode Island in 1871, A fractional marriage in “little Rhody’? must be a& | very small alfair, ‘but perhaps it is better than none. “Only @ bagatellet” are considered only & “‘bagatelle’’ in the matter of inducing members of a Legislature to vote a cer- tain way—vide Missouri. Such legislators may well exclaim, ‘Vave la bagatele 1" The difference between detaulting revenue col- lector in Tunis and in this country, according to the Louisville Courier-Joui nal, is, that in Tunis they are impaled on stakes, while here they usually walk off with the stakes. “Syndicates” have become so popular in Wash- ington that itis a wonder some persons of pre- ponderating political influence there do not get up a@grand “Vindicate” and issue bonds for the re- demption of the honor and credit of impeachable Congressmen. Sergeant John Cole, of the British royal marines, long & paymaster’s clerk, lately stole from the pay- master’s saie, in the depet at Deal, about nine thousand dollars. Being placed in Sandwich jail on suspicion, he tore a strip from a sheet and hanged himself, Henry Ward Beecher says “religion is a personal thing.” Is it, then, irreligious to be impersonal? Moreover, he doesn’t say that “good sewerage 18 Gospel, but he does say bad sewerage is heresy.’’ What a sad lot of heretics, then, we must have in our street department! This is personal. An old man named McKean died of starvation a few Sundays since in Glasgow. The parochial authorities were informed of his case early in the morning, but refused to grant relief, saying “they had no inspectors on duty on Sunday.” Rather streaked consciences in Glasgow. Spencer—lately hung for murder in Liverpool— was born in jai!, and his father was also hung for murder, In a box of a stono jug I was born. Fake away! Of hompen widow the kid forlorn Fake away! History repeats itself even with homicides. A few days since, in the Rue de Charonne, Paris, a four-year-old boy left in charge of a littie sister, eighteen months old, set fire to her clothes “for fun,” danced with delight at her screams and strug- gles, drowning her yells with his laughter. When discovered she wasa charred mass of inanimate Mesh. At Port Elizabeth, Cape of Good Hope, quite lately, a black boy having founda large sum of money, lost by Mr. John Webb, returned it to the owner. Another native having founda letter en- closing a check, lost by Mr. James Wood, returned it, Africais getting in “de fore front rank” of civilization very rapidly, We learn from the Cape of Good Hope that the Hottentot Prince, Plaatjes, charged with the murder of his wife, has confessed his guilt and been fully committed for trial. This shows that, in the matters of wie beating and murder, the Hot- tentot aristocrats of Africa are quite equal to the representatives of “best society” in Christian lands, and that they are slightly ahead in the matter of contessing their guilt. Plerre Croix started as a cobbler in Paris, became a tumbler in Germany, merchant in Peru and doctor in China. Taken prisoner by Corean pirates, he obtained favor among his captors and was made commander of the native forces heading the resistance to our forces in the recent un- pleasantness. When that affair was over he re- turned to his native city of Paris, where he has just died. Paul Dmitrewitch, Count de Kisseleff, born in Moscow in 1788, has lately died at Paris. Aide-de- camp to the Emperor Alexander during the cam- paigr of France, he accompanied his Sovereign to the Congress of Vienna, and was present at the second entry of the Allies into Paris. After the Crimean war he was named Russian Ambassador in France. In December, 1862, being obliged to retire, from ill-health, he was replacedjby Baron de Budverg. A few years since there resided in one of the counties of South Carolina two respectable citi, zens. They were of the same surname; they also were cousins, They were members of the same religious denomination; their wives were sisters. They were both nullifiers when South Carolina took the lead in this political adventure. Eachone was the father of thirteen children; each of those men had three sons and ten daughters.

A petitien is circulating in Los Angeles asking Congress to appoint a commissioner to examine and report on the practicability of turning the Colo- rado River into the Colorado desert. It is claimed that a large lake will be thus formed, the influence ot which would be vo reclaim the barren wastes of the adjeining territor: to reduce the tempera- ture of the atmosphere over a vast extent of country.

Congress will be asked to apprepriate $250,000 for that purpose. The republican primary election in this city is claimed to have resulted in the defeat of George U.

Opinions of Distinguished Cuban Patriots. What General Sigel Thinks of the Situation. Dare the Spaniards Touch a Hair of Mr. James J. O’Kelly’s Head ? DE ALDAMA THINKS NOT. The Intervention of the United States Declared Necessary. The excitement in New York yesterday in Cuban circles was very great, with reierence to what was printed in (he HERALD of yesterday re- terring to the communication received from its special Cuban correspondent, Mr. James J, O'Kelly, from Palma Soriano, in Cuba, in which is recorded ‘THE THREAT OF THE SPANISH GENERAL, Morales, in reply to Mr. O’Kelly’s request to pass the Spanish lines—“You can leave Palma and go where you like, on the understanding that if the Spanish troops find you among the surgents, or if you afterwards appear within the .Spanish lines, you will be treated asa spy, and shot accordingly.” Equally worthy of attention is the reply of the HeRALD to General Morales, which is as follows:—“If the HERALD Commissioner receives any injury at your hanas, without violating the jaws of your country, you will be held to a strict accountability, and will be made to suffer the penalty of the outrage, not in the island of Cuba alone, but in every inch of soil that owes allegiance to the Spanish flag.” The position of both parties being thus clearly defined, a reporter was sent to visit the influential Cubans and other residents of this city to giean their opinions as to, the glove of defiance thrown down on either hand. Naturally enough in New York, where opinion 1s all ON THE SIDR OF FREE CUBA and the abolition of slavery in the “Gem of the Antilles,” the reporter felt, when starting on his mission, that it would be impossible "to hear two opinions on the subject, for the sentiment in the length and breadth of the great American Union is that the administration ought to recognize the gaHant struggle made by the Cuban patriots for liberty and the abolit.on of slavery, which has now been carried on tor over four years against almost superhuman odds. MR. DE ALDAMA, The first visit paid was to the celebrated patriot, Mr. De Aldama, who was over twenty times a mil- Honnaire in Havana, and whom the Spanish gov- ernment tried to buy over to their side by offering to make him Maryuis of Santa Rosa. The bait was rejected with scorn, and Mr, De Aldama preferrea tus own honest name to that of ail the Spanish Marquises or hidalgoes possible. Mr. De Aidama, in reply to the question as to what he thought of the Spanish threat, replied, in @ decisive and sim- ple tone :— ‘THRY DARE NOT TOUCH A HATR of the HERALD correspondent’s head; but Spanish treachery is of no mean order, and should Mr, O'Kelly unfortunately meet his end in Cuba, which Isincerely hepe he may not, it wiil probably be by some underhand proceeding, which will undoubt- edly be put en to the shoulders of the Cuban patriots. No reliance can be put in Spanish re- ports, and you may rest assured that should O’Kelly’s assassin ever be known his punishment will be trivial or none at all.”’ GENERAL SIGEL, ‘The worthy Register was found busily engaged in his multifarious duties, but wiilingly consented to spend a few moments to talk over Cuban matters, He said in substance :—“I hope that the government ol the United States will promptly interfere in Cuban matters, forthe time has fully arrived, I consider the intervention of this country is ABSOLUTELY NECKSSARY. Matters have now arrived at a climax and the struggling patriots have now fairly earned the right ef recognition, I believe that the people of this country, from North to South, deeply sympa- thige, as I do myself, with the idea of a Cnban Republic, and I hoped to be spared to see the day when the Cubans shall have rid themselves of Spanish tyranny and obtained the abolition of slavery. Should it be considered impelitic by the government to recognize Cuban belligeréncy, I trust that arbitration may speedily take place, or that SOMETHING DECISIVE MAY BE DONE, for the question is an American one, and interests millions in this country. Naturally all my German friends favor abolition of slavery and a Cuban re- publis. Rerorter—Can you tell me, General, what chance exists of General Banks’ motion in Congress for the recognition of QUBAN BELLIGRRENOY? General SiozL—I think it was werded some- what injudiciously; for it alludes to foreign inter- vention, and that, you know, is distasteful to American citizens, who have ever the Monroe doc- trine before their eyes. Reroxter—A large Cuban meeting at Cooper In- stitute is talked of, at which, it has been reported, yourself and other prominent citizens will assist. .: General Stax1—Well, I cannot tell you anything abeut it at present; but I believe that agrand mass meeting is comtemplated; but it must be an American meeting and exclusive of nationalities. Thanking the General for his kindness, the re- perter withdrew. 1, DBL MONTE. The next visit paid was to Mr. Del Monte, in Ex- change place. This gentleman is the son-in-law of Mr. de Aldama, and known as a devoted patriot to Cuba. He said in brief:—*The idea of proposing to shoot Mr. O'Kelly, a8 a spy, is PREPOSTEROUS. Did net the Duc d’Aumale pass through our lines in the late war, and was he considered a spy ? And did not ADMIRAL POLO, THE SPANISH AMBASSADOR at Washington, when on board the Carmen (Spanish man-of-war), visit Charleston, and was he not received hospitably by the Confederates? I might mention numereus other cases, but; those just mentioned sufiice, Ithink. God forbid that any harm should happen to Mr. O'Kelly; but should any outrage be com- mitted upon him, er should he be butchered by the Spanish troops, it will raise A STORM OF PUBLIC OPINION AGAINST SPAIN of which the Cabinet of Madrid have no conception as to its impertance. The London Times has lately sent an able correspondent to Havana, and Thope that he will teli the English people the un- varnished truth as to the unhappy state of Cuba and the necessity of immediate reform and the abolition of slavery. Europe favors us; now let this country step in and do its part, for the ques- tion is exclusively an American one, and to Wasb- ington we must look for our salvation.” LEANDRO RODRIGUEZ. ‘This distinguished Cuban patriot was found at his office in Cortlandt street, he said:—‘‘Nething would astonish me with reference to the foul deal- ings of the Spaniards—shonid they shoot Mr. O'Kelly and declare he had been shot by the patriots, or if they were to pay some assassin to poison him while stopping in some fonda. Nothing of this kind would be incredible, for the Spanjards are capable of any diabolical work, never mind how black it might be. But, thank God, the day of atonement is approaching, and the tyrant Spain's empire in OUR POOR DOWN-TRODDEN CUBA is fast waning and approaching its end. I pray from the bottom of my soui that brighter skies are in store for Cuba, and that ere long Cuba shall be & Republic, free gver all its broad gorgs. agd buat in-* Slavery shall be speedily abolished, Amd bewre you go let me tell you that the Herap's influence and immense circulation help us at the present moment immensely, and its proprietor has gained our warmest and eterna! thanks. MR, MAYAQA. This eminent patriot spoke enthusiastically on the services of Messrs. Henderson and O'Kelly in the cause of Cuban liberty, and said that should Mr. O'Kelly be massacred by the Spaniards they WOULD LONG RUB THE DAY , in which they laid bands upon a HERALD corre- spondent. This ovinion was fally concurred in by his friends, Genera! Jesus del Sol, Sefior Toscana, Captain G.
