Some Keccnt Development in the J rent Lord llond Itobbery. Some downright charges having been pre ferred against the Boston detective police, to the effect that they are no better than their brethren in New York, and are in collusion with thieves and law-breakers, the Massachusetts Legislature took the matter up. and appointed an investigating committee. The following in cidental evidence was given in relation to the famous Lord bond robbery in New York city. Mr. Gooding was asked to state what he knew about tho Lord bond robbery. He said: "On getting ready to go to Montreal the first timo, I somewhat disguised myself; on the way, Mr.f Heath spoke of the Lord bond robbery; on arriving, went to a saloon kept by William Eno; then went to Hod Ennls', where we stayed about an hour;went back again to Eno's; were together about eight days, often till a late hour; conver sations took place about the Lord bond robbery, as to the portions taken by the thieves; this was principally told by Mr. Heath; understood from Mr. Heath that there was considerable money in possession of a man iu England; he said about if 1,000.000; he gavo a description of the house; he said he was going to England; asked him sub sequently why he delayed going there? he said, 'That is my business, and not yours;' one Sun day, at Moutrcal, went to bed at 1140; next morning I got up, and as Heath was lying asleep in bed I tried to pull him outj I noticed in the bed and in his vest a considerable amount of bonds; he, without saying anything to mo, gathered them up und put them again in his vest; I lit a cigar, and went down stairs; I have had several letters from Hod Eunis; Hod had written to me aud asked me to go to Heath and Jones und nsk them questions about money, and get their answers. "At the request of Ennis he went to Newbnry port to see a man named Westcott; he met him in Market Square; they went to a hotel, West cott engaging a room; Westcott explained that he had $20,000 of the proceeds of tho Ixrd bond robbery; he said the olllcers came to Newbury portand calculated that they could do just as they did In their own city, and take the man they wanted; he said, however, that Ke had a 'ring' in his own city, and they found out they had to settle with him before they could take the man away; Ennis gave tho name of a party in Boston that had 250,000 of tho proceeds of the robbery; a mun named Bill Jones was sent with a password to this man to get a packet; this packet, which contained the money, was taken to Mr. Lord, at New York, who paid a certain reward; witness said ho un derstood from Ennis and partly from Westcott, that this was done to liberate Ennis, who was then in custody at Newbnryport; Westcott said that if there had been a requisition from the Gov ernor of New York to take Eunis there, he should not have gone; Ennis told him (witness) that he had to pay Westcott $20,000 to get awav; under stood that the password was given by Mr. Ben. Hcrth; heard from Ennis and Westcott that Westcott had agreed with Heath and Captain John Young that Ennis should be liberated on condition of his giving us certain money; never heard that any one but Westcott received any portion of the $250,000; Ennis said that Heath had brought from Montreal $80,000, and that he (Ennls) and Colonel Kurtz expected to have a reward of $2000 each; understood that Mr. Lord paid a reward of 10 per cent, on the money restored; the $350,000 was sent to Mr. Lord at one time, $80,000 at another (of which $8000 was kept back as reward); Eunis also said, that he bad paid $23,000 to Heath at another time, in small bonds, which Heath hal never sent to Mr. Lord; knew nothing farther about that than what Ennis said; Ennis said he didn't get his share of the reward, und that they beat him first to lost; Ennis asked witness if he knew how much Ben had received of the reward? Witness told .him that Beu hod shown him a draft for $8000; Ennis said his share was $2000, but that Ben Heath had only sent kirn $100; the bonds which I saw in the bed, and which were in Heath's vest pocket, were seven-thirties; they were coupon bonds; they were once folded; there was quite a number of them; they looked like a puck of cords. The winness then spoke of the attempted rob bery of the safe of Messrs. Davenport Mason by throwing it off the line: he had received in formation of that from tin anonymons letter from Kansas, and another letter from New Bed ford; Tom Jennings, who had been bar-tender to Harry Jennings, und Harry Jennings were ar rested for that attempted robbery; Heath was sent for, and he understood that he represented that the men were not thieves, and were conse quently liberated; Tom Jennings had onco been a soldier in the English army; Mr. Tillingham would tell more about that story; hud no know ledge of uny corrupt means being used. TIXZ2 OOLD PEVEIl, IncldrnU on the Koute to the White Pine Minn. The San Francisco Bulk-tin says: 'We have heard of several Instances lately of the first use made of tho good fortune which has attended some of the White Pine adventurers that show the better side of human nature. One man who had lost his 'grip, and had bo come worthless by drink, was accosted one day by a friend and told that ho could do nothing here; he had no credit and no Intlueuce, and few friends; he had better go to White Pine. His adviser offered to furnish money enough out of his own moderate earnings to take him there, and would look uftcr his family iu tho mean time. The man went, under a promise not to spend a dime of tho money so furnished for diink. After a while he got hold of some claims, began to make small remittances to his friend, enough in all to liquidate tho indebtedness for his outfit. At a still later day he returned to the city, paid all arrearages for family expeuses, met his old frieud and told him that from tho hour he had been taken by the hand he had never spent a- cent for liquor. If ho had not done much, ho had become a sober man. The friends parted at the steamboat landing; the White Pine man returning In the hurry of the moment be recollected that he hud a small package for his friend's wife, which he had nearly forgotten. The package contained a deed for the house and lot occupied by his bene factor. Tho property was worth about eight ' thousund dollars. "Another 'dead broke' man recently returned from White Pine, and, meeting one of his credi- ,.... l.iwr.m ti 1L- nlw.nf ..1.1 1 J i . J Iiuin, uvmi. V" utjuii. n,u (Jill HlQUUlCUUUnn. The creditor said that the account was long a 'o cnlars. White Pine said that tnado no difference. Ho had come down with $15,000 in hand to pay his debts. His first business was to hunt up every creditor, paying him principal and Inte rest, declaring that he had no right to count a dollar as his own until he had paid all his debts. "We hnvA ninrrl nf m,m .i.... i .... as notable. Now, If White Pine is going not 1 urn vj uuveiuo minions oi treasure, but is really going to help devclope whatever is best In human nature, there will be no estimating tho value of these new discoveries. It may yet fall to tho lot of some Ingenious moralist to consider White Pine as a 'means of grace.' " xx everdy jonwa on. An Kxplanation hjr Him of Alleged Threat AKaitiNt ;rcnt Britain. On March 31 Hon. Reverdy Johnson w;w pre sent at the Inauguration of a bazaar in aid of the funds of tho Newcastle Ragged and Indu trial Schools, which took place In the Assem bly Rooms, Westgate street, London, and deli vered an address. Almost immediately after leaving the Assembly Rooms, Mr. Johnson went by express train to North Shields, where, in reply to addresses from the corporation and the Shipowners' Association, he made another speech. After the presentation of tho the addresses, his Excellency was entertained ut a luncheon, given to him by Mr. J. Straker, Chairman of tho North of England Coal Associa tion, in tho Assembly Rooms attached to the Bath Hotel, where ho delivered a third address. In the course of the third speech Mr. Johnson said: I omitted yesterday to refer to what some time since was said by tho Times newspaper paper edited with great ability. No doubt diffe rent opinions are entertained with relation to the paper. Some think it creates public opiulon; others think it rather sifts It until it finds out what it is. (Hear, hear.) I made a speech at Manchester, in which I stated that I thought the doctrine upon which our attempt to claim indemnity for the wrongs and losses sustained by us in consequence of tho fit ting out of the Alabama and other vessels, was one so perilous to England that she ought to pay at once the amount without question. I merely anticipated that if the doctrine become the recognized doctrine of tho world, and if you became in course of time the belligerents, the opposite belligerents could have had Alabamas b the hundred fitted out by the United Suites. The Times thought and I was somewhat sur prised it should have fallen into such a mis takethat I designed It as a threat to England, that my purpose was to intimidate your Govern ment. A threat to England! If that paper had done me the justice to believe that I had any intelligence at all, if they had done me the jus tice to suppose that I was acquainted even cur sorily with the history of England, it never could have fallen into such a mistake. Whatever may be done by appealing to the reason of England may be accomplished. He who thinks that he can accomplish anything by threatening England with the consequences of refusal must be a madman. It would be as ridi culously foolish as was the belief of the poor Indian, who, being offended for a moment by the heat of the sun, made up his mind that he would bring the luminary down to the earth by shooting his arrow through Its centre. He shot his arrow, and then, to his surprise and vexation, the arrow returned without tho sun; and that would be very much my case, or tho case of any one who could expect to intimidate England. He would be laughed at and ridiculed, just as much as the poor Indian was laughed at and ridiculed at tho failure of his experiment. Eng land to be threatened by the United States! Why, the world combined could not by threats accomplish wiy purpose which England's honor demanded should not be accomplished. You might suffer if you were invaded; your commerce might be swept from the ocean iu such a contingency; but rather than submit to such a threat I think I know you well enough to know and you would be false to tho history In which you take so much pride if you would not you would rather see tho islaud sink into the ocean. And the loss to the world by such a calamity would hardly bo greater, if as great, as the loss to tho world by England submitting dis honorably to any demand which any nation or nations in the world might make. Now, I have set myself, I hope, at rest with the Times, whoso proprietor it is my good fortune to know, aud whose principal editor I also have the good fortune to know, but I regret to say that it seems from tho article to which I have re ferred that they do not know me. If they had, when they penned that article, they never would have peuned it, hut, penning it, it goes to my own home, and there wo have editors who would like occasionally, to ue an Irish ex pression, to kick up a row, and there it will be a feather in my cap, as they may think, that I had threatened England. If what I am now going to say should reach them, they will find that it is a feather which I should cousider it a dishonor to wear. Gentlemen, I could speak of tho ne cessity of our being at peace even without words, for you have taken all the words from me already until to-morrow's dawn; but I have said enough not only during my present visit, but from the moment when I landed upon your shores, to satisfy you, I hope, of this, that there is no man in either nation who rejoices more iu the belief f hut the peace between the two will bo undisturbed, and there is no man who would mourn more its disturbance. American Topic In ICurope. We have seen lately some articles in Italian journals which show how imperfectly American affairs, in spite of many intimate relations, are understood. The seating of the new Presi dent and the appointment of tbe Cabinet have been the cause of a reuewed examination of our condition. Men appointed to posts of the first rank, who have never before been heard of, is what pnzzles most these interested Inquirers. The newspapers are sure to get our names wrong, and then go groping blindly on the wrong track after knowledge. The J'crsewrama, of Milan, certainly not the worst informed journal, says it has looked iuto all its encyclopaedias and biogra phical dictionaries, and can find no account of Si. Hamilton Tlch, the new Secretary of State, and successor of the eminent M. Seward. It makes similar blunders about other men. Not much Information comes directly to those news papers, as they have no American correspondents and few exchanges. They get what they can from French, German, and fcuglisk sources. It is their ofllce to ucquiro a knowledge of geography and history, and of contemporary political actors. It is hardly ours to teach them; . but there Is room for missionary work. One of the Chicago papers quotes from "a ruucld Copperhead sheet of this city." The Hotel Dleu, the oldest of the hospitals in Paris, dating from about tho year 050, will soon be entirely removed from its uueient site. The first fair ever held in Rome was that for the new blind asylum during the carnival. Up wards of 15,000 francs were taken tho first two hours. Bayard Taylor is believed to be the "distin guished American statesman" engaged by thd Moscow Gazette for its United States corres pondent. The "London General Mourning Ware house" has always experienced truvelliug milli ners and dressmakers, iu eases of sudden death at a distance. An English court has decided that public gateways must be threo feet two luetics, in order that "tho stoutest of her Majesty's subjects" may get through. The Spanish recipe for salad dressing Is a model of terseness: "A spendthrift for oil, a miser for vinegar, a counsellor for suit, and a madman to stir it all up."

Washington, April 15 It is understood that Secretary Fish docs not represent the views of the administration relative to Cuba, and that ho has been overruled by the President. This was made clear in the instructions given to Plumb, ConsuKSencral, who is about to leave for Havana. He carries ont instructions of the most pe remptory character, looking to restitution ond full satisfaction to American citizens for all in juries and insults offered by Spaniards. The owners of the Mury Powell are here to lay tho matter of her capture before the English Minis ter, and in the event of prompt action not being taken, our Government will assume tho responsi bility of demanding redress. The Foreign Nominations. Secretary Fish was at tho White House this morning for the purpose, it is understood, of making a recast in the foroign nominations, as suggested by the Foreign Affairs Committee. The President finds himself very much embar rassed in connection with this matter, as ho was importuned on all sides to send in this class of men, while he knew them to be unlit for their places.

Several hundred clerks in the departments have been notified that their services will be no longer required, as there is no appropriation to pay them, PtMpatch to the Anitx-iated Pie, The Odd Fellows' Ocitionst r.ailon.

There is a slight mitigation In tho pressure for money to-day, though lenders have no dltlkulty iu commanding the legal rates in gold, or In cur rency with a commission added. There can be no doubt that the usury laws are being openly violated both by the buuks and outride lenders, and tho extra commission now so generally added to tho legal rates is a mere cover for the violation of the law. There is a good deal of flurry among tins well known gamblers of New York jnst now, in con sequence of a rumored prosecution of sonic of the more eminent of the Shylocks. As tho sys tem is highly injurious to trade, wo trust that the District Attorney w ill lose no time in bring ing the matter to a legal it-nic.
