After further debate it was agreed that the necessary appropriation bill should be introduced to-morrow. In the House of Lords the motion for an annual allowance to the royal pair was carried unani- mously without debate. POSTAL TELEGRAPHS.

WASHINGTON. ’ <oreneaniisatiemeeniasiain Wasinaton, July 29182. “Our Government has Nothing to Rogret inwail.” Since the publication in these despatehes of the \ correspondence which passed between our Consul at Aspinwall, Commander Reed, of the United States steamer Kansas, and Lieutenant Autram, commanding the Spauish vessel of war Bazan, re- specting the right of the Ameri steamship Virgiaius to the protection of the United States flag, there has been the livelicat interest, not oaly in oMictal quarters, but m diplomatic circles, to learn how our government would regard the act of Consul Thorrington, Captain Roekendorf® and Commander Reed, The correspondence has also been the basis of conjectures discussing the propriety ol the act and questioning the justice of the protection agordea the Virginius when it was known that she was laden with munitions of war, ‘The following from a semi-oiticialsource gives the views of our governmen It is Well Known that the Spanish government has never recognized the independence of the Wnited States of Colombia, while our government has, and receives its representative as Envoy Extra- ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, So far, then, a8 the rules laid down for the guidance of a neutral government, as adopted tn the Treaty of Washington, and which our government as well as Great Britain solemnly bound themselves to bring to the knowledge of other maritime Powers, and to invite them to accede to them, could have no bearing between Colombia and Spain. Nor was it the business of either our Con- sui or naval oficers to inquire into this feature of the case. It cannot be pretended that the act of the Virginius, in taking on board a cargo of arms at Colon for the use of the Cubans, violated any law of the United States or any international obligation of the United States. If the fitting ont of the Virginius at Colon was done in violation either of the local law or the law of nations in the port of Colon, the wrong done to Spain in that respect would not be a wrong done by the United States, but a wrong done by the Republic of Colombia. If all she did at Colon was to take on board an invoice of arms and munitions of war as a matter of mer- chandise for transportation to Cuba, that she might do, subject to be captured on the high seas by the Bazan, either because carrying a cargo of contraband of war or because intending to run the blockade of the coast of Cuba, Thus it would seem that no questions could arise between Spain and the United States, unless the interierence of the Consul in demanding that she should be pro- tected by tue Kansas outside of the port of Colon, The request of Consul Thorrington was in the same language addressed by Mimister Huribut to Com- mander White, of the Kansas, when that vessei protected the Virginius from the threats of the commander of the Spanish war vessel Pizarrro in April, 1872 On this occasion the ninander of the Bazan, in an oficial manner, threateued to prevent the departure of the Virginius from a neutral port, after her papers had been examined and found correct. She was entitled to the fullest protection ana received it only because the evidence required was judged satisfactory, So far as the State Department is advised, and both the naval and Consular correspondence is before it, our goy- ernment has nothing to regret in what has trans- pired regarding the departure of tne Virginius from the port o! Colon, The details of the landing of the cargo of the Virginius published in the HERALD of this date, confirming previous reports, is the cause of great satisfaction amoug the friends of Cuba in Washing- ton, in this conuection a distinguished diplo- matist, whose knowledge of the affairs of our gov- ernment entities his opinion to much weight, has said, in regard to the Virginius affair aud the civil war in Spain, “All the signs seem to show that Spain is om the verge of some great catastrophe whicn will settle summarily the question of Cuba.” Senator Sumner on Coesarism and Equal Rights—The Herald Commended. Senator Sumher leaves on Thursday for Boston. He Is fully restored to health, aud expects to gain further strength by cessation from all mental labor until next Winter, He expresses the greatest satisfaction at the course pursued by the HERALD in its development of the subject of Casarism in our government, and has watched with the deepest interest the respoases of the press to the gallant lead the HERALD has taken on this subject. He is still the recipient of many evidences of regard from the colored people of the District, and continues to give them assurances that he has not abated his zeal on their pehalf. The question of mixed schools, or common schools as it is now called, has of late agitated the colored voters of Washington. The sentiment of the com- munity is strongly against the movement, but it has some determined advocates, These, through their chairman, a few days ago addressed a letter to Mr, Sumner congratulating him upon his reste- ration to health, hoping that he would be strong and well enough at the opening of Con- gress to resume his seat and again to take up the cause of equal rights, The letter alluded to the agitation now going on in regard to the prosperity of the common school system at the capital of the nation, Mr: Sumner replied at length to the letter, thanking the colored people for their kind remembrance and good | wishes. He expresses satisiaction and approba- tion that they have taken hold themselves—the parties in interest—and if they are tn earnest he assures them success will crown their efforts. It is no small work on their part to overcome the stubbornness of opposition and that indifference which comes from dulness and — insgnsi- bility to human rights, Their responsibility Was peculiar, for they were not only acting for themselves, but in fact for the whole colored race of Uic country, What is done in the District of Columbia, if successful, will nave its correspond- ing results throughout the country, while a ‘allure here would be a cause of suffering among the colored people in ail parts of the Union. He re- garded the District as the experimental garden, the uursery Of the cause of equal rights, and here emancipation, colored suffrage, the testimony of colored people in Court, the right to ride tn street cars, Urst had its start. He had lived through ail these, and all these reforms had been successfully carried out. Prominent politicians lad urged him not to agitate such sub- jects for tae consequence would be dreadful, @ war In spite of tne results the same opposi- on Was manifested against the common school system, The reform now proposed would be as successiully carried out if the colored people were persistent, On this matter the colored people ought to be @ unit, Politicians and lawyers could always fod an excuse, according to desire, but no fine-spun theory or technicality would justify the colored men in going against the commanding principle of equal rights, ¥ The Patent Cigar Box Job Likely to Fail.

My Poor Son!"— Surrender of the Prisoner—What He Said in His Cell. % The small frame house, No. 17 Beacon street, Newark, embowered in graperies and other follage, and owned and occupied by the widow Birrell, am aged Scotch woman, and her sons Alexander andi | James, was the scene last evening, between sever: | and eight o'clock, of a shocking murder—the slay= ing of one brother by the otuer, stabe bing him to the heart with their fathers almost worn out shoemaker’s knife. But one witness was present, the aged, gray-haired, bow-backed mother, and, as she persistently re- fused to say a word about the circumstances, they had to be gathered at considerable diMeuity. As near as could be ascertained by the HERALD representative, she was at the scene of the shock- ing tragedy soon afteritoccurred. From membera of the family and from the police it appears that of late Alexander Birrill has been ENACTING THE ROLE OF THE NE’RR-DO-WBLL. James, onthe contrary, has been very steady. Afier finishing up a good day’s work at hatting yesterday aiternoon in Yates & Wheaton’s place, in Thomas street, where he was employed, he pro- ceeded home and had some words with hig brother Alexander about some veal cutlets, ‘The latter, it seems, had eaten more than his share, so that James had to go short when he came home. The quarrel was stopped and Alexander left the house to visit his brothers in-law, James Allison, residing at No. 261 Norfoily. street, and formerly on the Newark police. “Aleck” told him that he had had some words witha Jjymes, and soon alter left and returned home. ‘tae quarrel between the two brothers was them renewed, and ‘Aleck’ called “Jim” a “son of @ b—nh” and, itis said, used most insulting language toward the old mother, who stood by. Then the men few at each other like wild beasts, and them ensued THE DEATH STRUGGLE. Who struck the first blow ts not known, but that Jim was not killed without a struggle was mani- fest from the cut and bruised condition of Alex- ander’s throat and face. Jim, tt should be stated, Was until lately known as a desperate character, one who would kill a man as quick as look at him, and, possibly, Alexander, knowing well the charac- ter of his brother, determined to make short work of him, and therefore seized his father’s well nigh worn out shoemaker’s knife and plunged it into Jim’s breast, on the leit side, jugt a fe inches below the collar-bone, It looked a alight, in- nocent wound to the HERALD reporter as he viewed it last night, but it did terrible work. Jim strug- gied out of the little kitchen extension into tha yard and in a few minutes fell A CORPSE ON THE SWARD, The mufderer, who was under the imfuence of liquor, at once realized what he had done, and hurried from the spot. In a few minutes he was again at the house of his brother-in-law, eXx-Policeman Allison, . “Come right over, Jim," said he; “me and Jing have had trouble and I think [I've killed him, He drew a kuife on me and I drew one on him.” He then remarked that he had better go and give him- self up to the police, Shortly after cight o'clock he appeared at the First precinct, in William street, and delivered himself up to Lieutenant Portent the oflicer in charge. Me was locked up in @ cell. He vaguely told the omicer he had trouble with bis brother, and im order to save bunself had to do what he did, Poor old Mrs, Birrel was distracted, and on ree of her murdered son, cried, ’ Oh, my poor son! my poor son!’ smootning his hair and fecling his cold hands.
