The steanwbip William Penn, from London
and Havre to New YoiK, with five hundred
pavsingers on boarvt, aritved in port on Satur
day, sajsthe N. Y, Herald of jeMerday, alter a
ifry trf'ing Voyiifte of seventeen days lrora
Hat re und twrmyono from London. She
encountered a terribc storm in njld-ocran,
bich las-ted Irr several dajs, doing, alarming
dam are to the saloou cabin, and luially Injur
Juif the boatswain of tbe ship. Tbe crew
trbatfd with (treat coolneea and fortitude, and
tbe Captain mood to hU post unremittingly
throne h tbe wbole of tbe severe ordcil.
On Tuesoay, tbe 10th of Noveuiber, a storm
of wmd, with rain, set in from tbe northeast,
liurtnirihe whole of tbe day toe storm stetdily
Increase! in iolcDcc; but tbe ship wa kept ou
her touTte under the nost f her sails ana tlie
full power of ber 6crew, aud, exc -pt the occa
iH vi ul tremendous pUiBgiutrs and rol'iniri of tbe
b p at she yielded to tbe force of lee surgiosj
waves, the bounded merrily along; with every
thing snuft and nil on board comparatively cow
' fortable, but with more or les of appicliension
as to what tLe night unebt brlufr.
It was boped that toe storm lupht somewhat
hate at sundown; bat they were dieaopoloted,
aLd the nu?btclopd lu. ad -line its thick dark
ness to already eiistiujr frrors. Tbe otBcera
and crew were all ou duty, wblle in tbe drat
atd second cabin saloons tbe former aituatc 1
midships and the latter quite Hit subdued
conversation anioug men, wtiii 6iebs that be
spoke the anguish of tear with a few ot tbe
women and childten; air I thus tbe night wore
on till 11, wbeu all retired to tbeir stateroom
in tbe cabins below.
Below these still were tbe 122 steeraee pas
sengers, that all the day aud ntirbt bad been
kept there owing to tbe impossibility ot movine;
satrly on deck, amid the ceaseless ragings of tbe
torm.
it abont 6 A. M. on the 12th, and before the
passengers bad left their berths, those ot the
erst cabin were aroused from their vigils by a
tremendous crash on the starboard side of the
bip and the rath ot waters down usoa them.
Ail, of course, was consternation and dismay
until tbe extent oi tr.e injury or danger coull be
distinctly acertatned. Xbey had shipped a
heavy sea that stove in about ten feet of the
dining saloon above, and tbe water flooding the
floor, was making its way through the opening
for ventilation and light to tbe cabin below.
Tbe cabin being a water-tight compartment of
Iron all around, except tbe companion way or
staircase, and where tbe water bad aatned en
trance, it could not pass lower down into
tbe ship or make its egress irom tbe cabin. Ine
only way to dispose of it was by a line ot buckets
tip and down the companion way, and until this
was done the water occupied tbe entire floor of
tbe cabin of thirty-four state rooms and a IsdieV
talcon to a depth of from one to three feet,
while tbe rolling of the ship would alternately
' tr.row up tbe water on either side to a much
greater depth. Only strong men could stand
vp aeainst this sway and current of water, so
"-that all the women and children were obliged
to tan position in the upper berths until tbe
irater, in part at least, conld be removed. As
toon as men could do this it was done, and
battens were nailed over the openings through
Which tbe water bad entered.
It was the Intention speedily to remove the
water from tbe cabin, rendering it lit lor imme
diate ieoecupation; but before this could pos
sibly be done, and the storm still raging; with
unabated fury, a little before 9 A. M. another
tremendous sea broke over the ship's side at
precsely the same place as beiore. This time
nearly ten ards in length ot the saloon's silo
waj smashed in. Ttieie wis a craih of timbers,
tables, aud crockery, and a momentary smother
ing ot strain and flying ashes from the glowing
stove as it wrnt wniriing from tbe saloon down
amcLK the debris into not less than three feet'
of water, which now covered the floor, and
which, with every toll of the ship, was surging
into tbe cabin below. Aud no, as tbe caoin
was deluged wi h a urea-er flood than before,
another abd a greater terror was presented to
its occupant, atd despair with some had taken
the place ot fear. Tbe water was several feet
deeper than beiore. Tbe necessity was lot pre
sented ot removing tbe women and children
through the flood of waters up the compauiou
way and along tbe dck of tbe ship to the aft or
second cabin saloon. The strong men of the
Ship hnd this duty to perform, tor tew others
could stand upon the slippery tooting.
Tne first to leave the flooded cabin with his
wife was George E. Algar. He get to tbe toot
of tbe stairway, holding to tbe Hand rail, neck
deep in water, with his w.te upon bis bacc,
cluitficg to Mi neck. At tbe next roll of the
ship, they were cnt of the wa er and bad gained
tbe deck. At this moment there were tnose
Who, having no one to care tor but themselves,
seemed all tbe more anxious to be conveyed to
a place of safety, whilst others, full of true
heroism, would not co until the more helpless
were assisted out. This trait was particularly
ahown in the mother ot nine little children; she
would not go and leave her children behind;
they could not go together, for each must be
carried singly. At last, when neatly all others
had pone, tbe another consented to go if she
could take ber youngest with ber, and upon the
promise of another noble-hearted woman, fii
llanuah Elevens, tbat bhe would remain with tbe
other children till tbe last bad lelt the cabin,
liavicg reached the aft saloon with her youngest
Child, tbe took her station at tbe open door
end there stood counting her children one,
two, three as one by one they arrived, until
seven of the nine had been counted in, but
seeing nothing of tbe other two, cried out, a
if in bitter agony, "Bat where, oh, where are
the twins?" In a moment more and tbe twins
and tbIr old grandmother, with the big
hearted woman wbo bad stood by them to tbe
last, were all in, when the door was moment
arily closed. And now of those who needed
assistance tbe blind man and his wife were yet
behind, not tbat be felt neglected, bat he
would not claim nor would he receive assist
ance until all more belplen than himself had
been assisted out. lie was the last to leave
the flooded cabin.
Karly on tbe morning of the shipping of the
first sea, when the ship was rolliu tearfully, a
lady seut ere of the stewards in urgent haste to
Captain BUliuge, then ou deck, desiriur his
Immediate presence at her sta'eioom. lie came
at once, because it was at the request ot a lad v.
"Iam a spiritualist, Captain liilliuge," said
the lady. "I have bad a revelation fr jiu a spirit
friend, who says, ben signs arise, lighten the
Ship;' in other words, yon most throw your
cargo overboard to save the ship." Tae captain
inquires, "Who is the spirit that proffers this
advice! Was be a seaman ?" "1 must not tell
?oo, captain, who he was; but it is none the less
rue, jou must throw jour cargo overboard
yon must lighten tbe ship." "And is this all tor
which yon called me Horn my post ot duty?"
asked the captain, "Tea, captain." "Then,"
said the captain, "tell your spirit lrlend tbat I
say he is a fool." There was bo further conver
sation oa tbe subject aud no cargo thrown over
hoard. In the second cabin was another lady, an
ancient maiden, who Irom the very commence
ment of tbe storm was sure all were to ba lost,
and every roll of the good ship only served to
eoa vine her of its certainty; so bhe prepared
for the event. First Bhe put on her best silk
bonnet, gathered up quite a package of her best
apparel, tilled a bag with other tine things aud
bong it on her ami, and in one of hr captclous
pockets a half dozen small articles of table
crockery, and finally, taking her umbrella tn
band, sat anxiously waitisg tbe sinking of the
sbip. On being aked what she Intended doing
with her umbrella at the bottom of tbe sea, she
ssi'l it was ber intention to wade oat if she had
to aUme. and she might want it.
At about 11 o'clock on the morning of
. j Thniidaj, two hour titer ta second sea waa
shipped, another came upon them at the port
side, and, rushing att, struck the second caoin
saloon with great force, bat doing no injury.
On th inside of this saloon were both the first
and second cabin passengers, ranged along on
both sides of narrow tables that were bolted to
the floor. There tbey eat, with arms stretched
across the tables, hetdiag to the opposite s:de,
and thus supporting themselves against tbe
action of the terrible and ceseles rollings of
tbe ship. About noon tbey had a gleam of
sunshine that at fitful intervals reappeared till
4 o'clock in tbe afternoon, when the wind, the
rain, the storm-cloud, and the hail had greatly
lessened. At 8 o'clock in the eveuiug the wind
had nearly ceased, and a beautiful night of
starlight succeeded.

A FAST PEER,
Tbe Frwvng:iiice and IMihllo (Inmbltnjf
of the l.nte llnrqulaof JlatUinii.
From the London Daily Aeifj , Nov. 11.
"Tbe Earl's voir'' has reached a sad climax in
the death ot its leading actor. Tbe spider aud
the fly drama Is elided. That poor coroncted
;ouih who bad crowded into six years more
CorinlLlan exutement. and weightier turf cares,
than many "last men" know lu a lifetime, has
laid down his weary load. He was only tweniy
six in July, and he'hnd flittered away twa tine
family cftates. Vetting is sat t to be the touch
s one ot tbe Englishman's sincerity, but with the
llaiquis a craving for the odd hal really
become a disease. He worshipped chance with
all the ardor ol a fanatic. His wits were, he
considered, orlh to bira In tbe betting rlue at
least 20,000 a year, and be sometimes threaded
his way through the mazes of trials ani public
running with all tbe sagacity of a wi.ard.
His public coups were otten so brilliant,
tbat it was hardly to be wondered at that
be believed In his own destiny and bis power
to break tbe ring. He cared little whether tbe
oraining or other improvements on his Doning
ton estate were stopped, it he only got fresh
supplies for another Newmarket campaign.
Tbe ring, on tbe other hand, bad marked him
for their own, and never left him. They would
(loiter beneath tbe Jockey Club balcony at
Epsom, holding up tbeir hands to claim his
attention, aud catching at his replies like a
flock ot hungry hawks. There he would stand
smiling at the wild tumult below, wearing his
bat jauntily on one side, a red flower in his
button-bole, and his colors round his neck, and
cool and calm while "the talent" male his
bore a "hot favorite" at once, and a few
slipped hack to the ring to follow his lead. For
a time he was a perfect Cocker; but he fell at
last in tbe unequal strife, and the men who had
"drawn" hiru most copiously were amoog those
who set tbeir faces most sternly against him
when he wished to see the Heath once again.
The llarqois' taste for the turf was not an
hereditary one. His father's heart was with the
hoand and born. He loved to balloo "tbe red
rascal" over the rides far better than watebing
the Leger hordes close up round the Bed-bouse
urn. The men of the Midlands will speak of
him as quite a representative sportsman with
Mill Goodall and tbe ' Sir Harry" whom tbey
lost so early. He would hardly have stepped
aside to seo a race; but a scarcity of foxes in
Charnwood Forest, or finding bimsell above
twelve stone on tbe scales, would have sorely
vexed bis soul. His sou cared for none of these
things. Still be could not bear to see the Quorn
without a master, and be stepped boldly into
the breach when Mr. Clowes resigned In '60. He
wore the horn at his saddle bow lor conformity's
sake, but he never blew it, and he let the field
go its own way, and buuted tbe couutry on no
system. A bit of a gallop, a check, and tben
trotting otf to tifc a lavortte gorge for
a treih fox, jumped much more with his humor
than an old-lashioned hunting-run, where
hounds bad to puzzle it out. Otten, when his
hounds had to reach the meet, ten or twelve
miles away, he was hardly out of bed, and he
would turn no "on wheels,'' and occa-ionully
from London by special train, aud give Wilson
tbe word to draw when half the field had gone
home. No wonaerthat caricatures were drawn,
ana equios new gauy aoout, ana mat even
Leicestershire said it would rather be bled In
the puise-vein than have tbe country huntel
gratis in such fashion. Satirical verses failed
to sour bi oi. He took tbe sting out of their tail
by reprinting tbem at his own private press,
and rested them far and wide. On the last day
ot bis mastership be slippei quietly away to the
station, and when tbey looked for him to elva
him a parting cheer he had been gone well-nih
an hour.
The honor of being "the man who belongs to
the Duke, or the Earl, or Little Lecturer." was
no burden to him. lie took quite naturally to
tbe turf from the first, enfolded under the wing
ot Danebury. In 1862 rot six people at New
market knew who tbe slim lad was on tbe grey
cob: but tbe riog soon saw that he was a verita
ble Hampshire ambassador when he pet down
tbe money so unflinchingly on a Danebury pot.
To John Day's suggestion that lu liia position be
was nif rally bound to have a nice yearling or
two of his own, he lent no ungracious ear.
ben the rivalry round tbe Hampton court and
Middle park rings almost foamed into malaess,
and 2500 guineas and 2000 guineas wire amoog
tbe yearling prices ot oue atternoon. be was
never tempted beyond 1650 guineas lor King
Charles aud 1500 guineas for Robespierre. Tue
former would have been dear at 50 guineas, and
the latter wen well In the olrs of an
other. His two best horses, the Duke (500
guineas) and the Earl (450 guineas) were
among his cheapest purchases. Tue late
Ai red Day first wore his oolors on Garottcr in
tbe Althrop Turk s'akes at Northampton, and
Sam Kogers won a maiden plate ou that colt a
few weeks afterwards. Tbe first great vic'ory
for the "red aDd white hoous" was the Caai-
biitlgeshire of 1804, with Ack worth, which bad
been esteemed a dear two thousand purchase.
Gradually bis stable swelled to upwards of
thirty, aud about 70,000 were the spoils of six
seasons. Catalogue was a ereat pet of his lord
fctiipV, and he did not eare how much he backed
her for in selling sweepstakes, and bow dearly
he redeemed her. A cycle of barrenness fol
lowed one of profusion, and Mr. Pad wick
preciously allowed him, in 1865, to have Kan
f uroo at, it was said, 12,000, and he never won
as n any halfpence, while Tbe Duke was useless,
Irom influenza, till halt the Ecason was over.
Id l!SC6, which produced him a Oue Tuousand
Guinea winner in Hepul-e, and a Good wood Cup
one in The Duke, the stable was once more at a
dead lock for a Cetarewitch horse, but Little
I.ectnrer, a foal from the Sled mere sale, carried
7 stone 3 lbs., and won, it was said, 40,0C0 lor
the Donnington party.
A winter's reflection convinced his lordship
tbat Hermit conli never win the Derby, and
103.000 was tbe price he paid for his thoughts.
People were once wout lo tell, almost below
their breath, tbat "Davis, the Leviathan." hal
been known to pay away 60,000 on th Derby.
Tbe presert age is capable of greater efforts, as
before the Holiday tlie bankers and solicitors
bad consulted, and tbe whole ot the Marquis'
losings were found for him. Thus the panic
whs avert' d from "tbe corner," but the fair
lands of Loudonn passed from his baud. At
Ascot bis lucky star rose once more. Lady
Klizabeth and Lecturer were both in form, aud
bis lordship kept backing them, aud piling ou
the winningB aratu bv a sort of geometric pro
gression, gambling till be had won nearly half
"his sin asaio." It was now the turn tor
reverses. Hln lordhlD rather fancied Tbe Karl,
but the stable overruled him in favor of Lady
Klizabeth. The flying filly came back with a
sadly chequered fame, a bad tilth for the Mid lie
Park Plate, and yet the victress is one of the
most wonderful of modern matches at 9 pound,
wi'h tbe tbree-year old Julius.
Tbe Marquis had now fullen bick again to
nearly the same "agony point" in finance as
when be saw the "all-rose" handed home for
the Derby. A weary winter followed, and he
was so driven from pillar tb post by money
troubles and turf creditors that he lost his
Interest in turf matters and his bead for
calculations with it. Tbe irritable Lady Kliza
beth wasted to a shadow in her training; and
how the Earl was scratched, and then became
the hero of the Parisians and the Ascot visitors,
and hew the tew words tbat were dropped at
York proved the precursor of his Leger doom,
are all dark passages of turf politics, and not.
easily forgotten. We saw the last of the Earl
when he was bought in as stout as a burgomas
ter tor 3000 guineas at Tatters all's, and then be
departed to Flndon With a le, upon whose
chances of siaudlng a preparation each man
seemed to olfTer with his fellow.
The late Marquis had been abroal all the
summer in his yacht, but no northern breezes
could fan him back to healtb. He came to
Doncaster, from Norway, on crutchts, and
looking very ill and nervoti". and well ho might,
b, tustead of havicg a St. L-eer winuer. be had
only the lean comfort of a veterinary certificate
Irom Mr. Mavor. At tbe 1st of October bo was
on Newmarket Heath tn a banket carriage,
which he only quilted to say a wor t to tbe
pretty Athena, "which once was mare of initio,"
when she was led back a wiuner. As at Don
caster, be did tot go beyond "a pony" or two.
"Mild I'm to-bave this paid," said the ring m io
when he booked it to him, and after tbat week
tbey saw bim no more. Nearly tcven peaauns
had passed by sinre t.e first camo a lad of nin
Uen Iresh trom Kton to Newoiarke', aud he left
It a bbatteieil mau, only to die. He spent some
lime at Folkestone, and visited tonloratev

An I rule Judge IelUrra n Spicy Clmre
ton Clrnud Jury.
Al the opening of the Court of Oyer and
Terminer in New York, yesterday, Judge Ber
nard addressed tbe Graua Judge as follows:
Gentlemen of tbe Grand Jury: 1 deem it not
inappropriate at the present time to call your
aileutiou to three or tour subjects that, in my
judgment, the Giand Jury should look into.
h irbt, in regard to alleged frauds at elections;
H'cond, in regard tj tbe alleged corruptions of
tbe judiciary here; third, as to tbe action of
certain newspapers in New Yjrk in perpetra
ting daily and hourly libels. I had intended,
gentlemeu, at the commencement of this term,
to have gone over many ol these subjects more
fully tban I can now; but I am led to-day not
to delay it any longer in consequeuce of the
annoyance I am subjected to by newspapers and
letter-writers, not borne out, of all sorts of vili
fications and abuses for ottennes ot which I
certainly know nothing, and see if the writer
of some ot these articles cannot be made to cotno
before you aud substantiate some among the
many ot tbe diflereut allegations that tbey have
made against tbe judge that uow addresses you.
In to-day's Tribune and to-day's 'limes, along
with articles in the Jersey papers and elsewticre,
are charges ot the most atrocious character
made against corruptions In interter ng with tbe
duties of electors, and cbarging tbe Judge wim
being in a combination la Wall street. Now, it
is unnecessary for me to say to you that he
never bought or sold or owned a share of stocK
in his life, aud as lor tbe large fortune of $5,000,
000, which one of the papers charges bim with
being posseted of, he has not now, nor did he
ever have, belonging to bim, separate from hi
wile, a single dollar's worth of pioperty, and is
to-day dependent upon his salary as a JuJge
and tbe charity of his wife, and why these
fiarticular and atrocioas charges at this particu
ar time should be made with such bolduess and
audicity, is a matter I hope you, as Grand
Jurors, whose duty it is, will look into, so tbat
if jou find them to be subs antial, or even a
suspicion tbat they are true, tbat you will give
tbe Judge a chance to resign. For infamy
means one thing, and it ought to be lerreted oat ;
and it a man aa a newspaper editor will bit
flown deliberately aud make a charge without
any proof, let us see whether the rigar
and terror of the law will not st 'p
this thing in future. For eleven years
this Judge has sulm tied to it without any
notice, and now, naviug arrived at a p?nod
of life when bis usefulness is impaired by such
charges, be deems it bis duly, and yo irs, gen
tlemen, to look into ibe matter whenever joa
have leibure, and say whether a combination cf
thieves, bcoundrcls, and raacais, who have ia
lestea Wall street aud Bioud street for ye irs,
and now quarielling among themselves, shall
bepe:mitted to turu around and eudravor tj
bide tbeir own tracks by abuse aud viliiicatiou
of the Judge
REVERD Y JOHNSON.
Tlie Alabama Claims, and How Lord
Stanley Hub Cajoled Our Mluiater.
The London correspondent of tbe New York
Iribune writes lelative to tbe Alabima claims'
settlement. Kaid Lord Stanley :
"I Lave never concealed my opinion thattha
American claimants, or some ot them at lea t,
under the reference proposed by us, were very
likely to make out their caso aud to get their
money."
It there be any doubt about the mean'ng of
tbete words, there is a comment upon them aod
an interpretation of them iu the speech of Mr.
John Ptuart Mill, on the same evening. Mr.
Mill said:
'I cordially welcome the hints thrown out by
the noble Lord as to the probaoillty of settling
this question in some other way tban by arbi
tiatlou. Indeed, I do not see for what arbiira
tion is specially required. 1 believe tbat tnere
are few in this couutry at present who are dis
posed to deny tbat we owe reparation in some
sort or degree to the United States. It is qaite
clear that tbe noble Lord (Stanlsy) is ot this
opinion. This, theretore, is not a case in
which arbitration is warned. If we owe any
thing, we must pay It, and what we want is
some oue to say not whether we ought to pay,
but how much; aud this would be tne best de
cided, not by arbitration, but by a mixed com
mission. Is not that plain? But It Is followed by a
declaration if possible still plainer. Mr, Mill
went on to say:
"If negotiations were reopened on thebasls
of an admission that we owed tbem reparation,
and tbat the object was merely to ascertain the
amount, I cannot believe that there would be
any considerable ditliculty in arriving at a
settlement without going beyond the two dis
putant?." Tbat is Mr. Mill's expislMon of Lord Stanley's
meaning immediate, complete, and decisive.
It was spoken iu Lord Stanley's presence, and
wl.oever knows anything ot the usagsoftbe
House knows tbat if he bad been misrepresented
by Mr. Mill, the corrcctiou would bare been
made on tbe spot. But there coald be no
correction. It was what Lord Siauley then
meant. He was at tbat time ready to concede
tbe liability of England f rttie Alabama claims,
and go Into a commis-ion to determine
only tbe amount. Mr. Johnson's diplomacy
has brought about a withdrawal of tbat con
cession, and a reference of the question of
original liability to an arbitrator surrounded bv
English lutlnence. Whether Lord Ktauley had
ever conceded it or rot. the point is one on
which tbe American people long since made up
tbeir mind. Tbe first step to a closing of the
ilabama quarrel is a f rauk admission by the Eng
lish Government ot their liability for the Ala
bama damages. That made, the question of
amount and proof may readily be submitted to
arbitration. Of couise, Mr. Johnson does not
understand the feeling and determination of tbe
American people on this point any better than
he does in the matter of bis associations with
Boebuck and Laird. How should ber He
represents Maryland and tbe Confederacy.
It wonld be laughable it it were not pitiable
to tee the efforts ot Mr. Johnson to escape tbe
force ot the criticism ou his friendship with
Laird and Koebuck. He cannot conceive that
people at home should think It anything but an
honor for their Minister to be admitted into
such society, Me bebevee they are dissatisfied
because they suspect the sincerity of Mr. Lalrl,
or at most because of some sinister
influence npon his negotiations. In his
speech to the Lord Mayor, Mr. John
son says : "I have been somewhat
criticised both here and at borne for the mea
ner tn which I have met and returned the civili
ties with which I have been, honored (!), but
when tbe critics find that tbe civilities exhibited
towards me, and the return which 1 have made
to tbem, have not inlurioaoly affected tbe nego
tiations which have ben c inducted between
your noble (secretary tor Foielgn AHalrs aud
myself, they will be satis lied thit thn oue was as
sincerely offered as I know that the other was
stiicerel V reciprocated." In tbe shaai speech sent
by Mr. Johnson to the Times as an "authentic
copy" copy of what? his statement is even
mi re base: "Those wbo may iu cither country
have criticised the conduct I have pursued in
return for the civilities tHercl me, would not
have done so If they had not forgotteu that tt
was my duty to remove prejudices and enmities.''
That is Mr. ltevrrdy Johnson's bober second
thought, sent to the Times two days after he bad
tasted tbe Lord Mayor's cup. He was sent here
to remove'tbe prejudices of Mr. Laird I I should
think even Andrew Johnson would begin to
wince when he sees his appointed Minister go
down on his knees to that pua'.c-building enemy
ot his country.
I do rot for a moment Imagine that the abject
and stupid diolo-iifcy of this mock-miols'er will
be ratified at borne. The echo of the Ltverpo 1
dinni r w hich Mr. Gladstone, with his usual
malailroitness In American topics, anticioatcl
has come back to u. It is such ad rice as
retiehes even Mr. Keverdy Johnson's ears, and,
dull as he Is, be feels tbat there Is indignation
enough to endanger the success of his negotia
tions. The sound common sense of the people
rerceives tbat a Minister who has no ide of na
tional honor Is incapab'e of settling a question
with wbicn. national honor bas more to do tb in
dollars and cents. Tbe English unv well lavish
flfitieriefl on this weak old man. Till he come
tbey had no hope of settling tbe Alabama busi
ness without a humiliating admission of their
guilt, and their conplete responsib.lity. He
steps in to relieve tbem from the shame, to put
them on a level with the nation whom they
wroneed, aud to send both parties on erjual
terms before an arbitrator whj may decide that
Roeland is not liable for claims which her
Foreign Minister has once admitted.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Tito Alabama Claim Negotiation) Sec
retary Seward Alukca a ISvulal.
tfpeeial Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Washington, Nov. 24. With reference to the
telegram seut from this city yesterday to the
New York Post and other afternoon pap"r,
setting forth that despatches had been received
by the State Department giving a full account of
the complete settlement of the Alabama claims,
Secretary Seward authorizes the following con
tradiction: "The despatch lu question is en
tirely Incorrect." Mr. Johnson, our Minister to
the Court of 8. James, ouly reports progress in
his late despatches to the State Department.
The question of the peaceful a ljustment of
the Alabama claims Is approaching settlement,
and all things look favorable, but there has been
no definite concision reached upon any Im
portant point, and up to this time Mr. Johnson
and Lord Stanley have not even settled so far
as tn agreement opon the protocol. There has
been a good deal of correspondence between
our Minister and the British Foreigu Secretary,
and a yery friendly feeling pervades all this
correspondence, but the only lmportaut fctyet
developed is that the prospect for aa amicable
set'lement is favorable.
It will not be wise for the papers in this conn
try to rely upon and publish all rumors which
leak out from the British Foreign OJlcs, and
are sent abroad through the columns of Loudoa
journals as troth. Mr. Johnson has not been
authorized from the Slate Department to vary
in any particular from tbe Instructions givea to
bim on the eve of his departure to assume the
duties of his official position at the Court of her
Britannic Majesty.
