Cuebent telegraphic int elligenoe affords new illustrations of the troubles to which the un happy people of the New Dominion are sub jected by their political connection with Great Britain. The fearful Fenians have oioe more started on the war-path, and the whole border is in a state of trepidation on aeoount of the prevailing uncertainty in re gard to the objective point of their expedi tion. We are informed by one veraoious chronicler that, contrary to usual custom, the leaders are very retioent, and stubbornly refuse to declare whether they intend to march to the resoue of the rebel Riehl, in the Bed River district, or to boldly cross the St. Lawrence, and plunge into the heart of the enemy's country. If they really mean business, their chances of accomplishing tangible results will be improved by a coali tion and co-operation with Riehl, for they will find it much easier to temporarily sustain a rebellion already started than to either create a new one or to make a serious demon stration against British power at any point where regular and volunteer troops can be rallied to confront them. Any hostile move ment they may make will necessarily be a fla grant and inexcusable violation of our neutrality laws, but John Bull and his Canadian calves displayed such lamentable disregard of the obligations of international treaties and good neighborship during the late Rebellion, that the troubles now heaped upon them by the Fenians seem but a righteous retribution. For the present it is scarcely possible that anything more serious than this temporary punishment can flow from any movement that it is possible for the Fenians to make, for the idea of a serious contest between a handful of the wearers of the green with the British authorities in their front and the American Government in their rear is totally inadmissible. In time, however, the Cana dians, who are stubborn and slow to learn, will find the miseries resulting from the con tinuance of British domination so manifold that they will be forced by their instincts of self-preBervation to earnestly seek relief in independence and annexation. Shut out now in a large measure from the best market by the abrogation of the reciprocity treaty, awakened to the danger that the Sault Ste. Marie Canal may be closed against them in their hour of direst need, and terribly ham pered by poverty and taxation, the continual alarms to which they are subjected by the persistence of the Fenians are rendering their colonial dependence intolerably fruitful of miseries. REVISING BISTORT. A mono the many legacies of the late war, we have numerous important historical questions touching both men and events, which must now be revised, as they are about to pass into the acoepted records of our great struggle for free institutions. For five years the North and the South made up their own records of publio men and momentous events from their own respective standpoints. It was but natu ral that, under the influence of the fierce pas sions ever engendered by civil war, both sec tions should magnify their own leaders and actions, and correspondingly depreoiate the leaders and actions of the other side; and in the intense devotion of both North and South to their respective causes, it was im possible ever to correct serious errors while the desperate struggle over reconstruction was unsettled. Lately, however, the passions of sectional strife have been gradually subsiding, and the people of both sections are beginning to make dispassionate inquiry into historical issues. Quite recently we have had a series of his torical conflicts. Senator Wilson, in an elaborate eulogy upon Mr. Stanton, in cidentally 'introduced the order of Mr. Cameron's retirement from the Lincoln Cabinet. lie accredited the ex-War Minister with great administrative ability, with having dictated his successor, and then gracefully resigning. This brought Mr. McClure before the publio with a circum stantial statement of Mr. Cameron's dismissal from the Cabinet, without consultation as to bis successor, and even without previous notice. He went so far as to explain, from his own personal knowledge, that the letter removing Mr. Cameron was subsequently de stroyed, and a pretended letter of resignation allowed to be filed some days after the dis missal Mr. McClure boldly assumed all re sponsibility for the correctness of his state ments, and challenged contradiotien. Feeble attempts wore made in some quarters to . break the force of the grave accusations maiSe by Mr. MoClure, but they stand sub stantially sustained, and the future historian of the war must make the blistering reoord that the first War Minister of the Rebellion was displaced for maladministration in the darkest days of the Republic Again, Mr. Cameron essayed to frame a brilliant chapter of the history of the war. When Senator Revels was before the Senate asking admission as a Senator from Missis, sippi, Mr. Cameron revealed a long-hidden prophecy be had made touching the advent of the black man into the first legislative tribu nal of the nation. lie suddenly remembered that when Jefferson Davis seoeded from that body, be bad solemnly notified the Rebel chieftain that the bondman would return after many days to fill kis place. It was somewhat worthy of notice that the prophecy was not made public until its fulfilment was just at hand, but as it was reoited by a grave and venerable Senator in open Senate, no one present could deny the singular prophetio honors claimed by the prophet for himself. But war has ceased. Newspapers and telegrams now go from the Lakes to the Gulf, and subdued Rebels, long bound in silence by the conqueror, now venture occasionally to interpose corrections of what they allege to be perverted history. Jefferson Davis read the Globe and answered that Mr. Cameron was doubtless incorrectly reported, as no such remarks were made to him when he withdrew from the Senate. Mr. Cameron did not venture to explain, but Colonel Forney answered, denounced Davis as a Rebel, and therefore not to be believed, and transferred the scene from the Senate to Mrs. Davis' breakfast table. It was safe to assume that Mrs. Davis would not rush into a publio contradiction; and so that disputed historical event, involving Mr. Cameron's claims to the honors of propheoy, remains unsettled. 1 One of the most remarkable instances of historical antagonism is exhibited by Judge Black's article on Mr. Stanton, copied in our columns on Saturday from the Galaxy for June. If Mr. Wilson is to be believed, Mr. Stanton was one of the earliest as he was one of the ablest and boldest champions of eman cipation, colored troops, universal suffrage, and of all the radical measures of reconstruc tion. If Judge Black is to be believed, Mr. Stanton fully and cordially harmonized with him in the Buchanan Cabinet, and held that all the violent measures growing out of the war were unconstitutional and revolutionary. Judge Black professes to speak from frequent and most intimate intercourse with Mr. Stan ton both before and after the war, and he details with great minuteness various circum stances in support of bis positions. On the other band, Mr. Wilson was chairman of the Military Committee of the Senate, was doubtless in the closest intercourse with Stanton while he was Minister of War, and must have had at least equal facilities with Judge Black to know Mr. Stanton's convictions and purposes. It is not to be presumed that either has deliberately falsified; but the two distinguished men have been Mr. Stanton's intimate associates under widely different circumstances, and each judges him from a widely different standpoint. Judge Black knew the Mr. Stanton of the Democratic faith, before treason and Rebellion had defied the Constitution and the laws, and Mr. Wil son knew the Mr. Stanton whose new duties were taught by the new occasion that called the nation to exercise its extreme powers to preserve its own life. Without discrediting either personally, such will be the general judgment of the nation. It is well, however, that both have written, for both will mate rially aid history in attaining a high measure of perfection in estimating Mr. Stanton. Another instance of disputed history was developed in our columns on Saturday by the somewhat impassioned letter of General Ma gruder, vindicating himself against the accu sations made against him by Mr. Cameron in the Senate recently. Mr. Cameron, in a de bate on the condition of things about Wash ington when the war commenced, made cer tain statements imputing positive treachery and dishonor to Magruder, who was in com mand of a battery in Washington when Mr. Lincoln was inaugurated. He did not name Magruder, but pointed to him with such dis tinctness that the remarks oould be applied to no one else. He also claimed especial credit for preventing Captain Magruder from be traying the President, and also from deserting with bis battery to the South. If Mr. Cameron's statements are true, he deserves great credit for his vigilance, and Magruder deserves to be reprobated as a dis honored and treacherous man. But Magruder comes out over bis own signature and pro n ounces Cameron's statement "a monstrous, malicious, reckless, and infamous lie," and he follows it np with a detailed aeoount of his fidelity while holding a commission, and also giving the particulars of bis resignation. He goes farther. He alleges that Mr. Came ron manifested particular kindness for him, and at a breakfast party voluntarily offered to send Magruder to Russia to esoape the conflict. In this case the issue of veracity is clear and unmistakable. Either Cameron or Magruder deliberately falsi fies, and the publio will judge between them. Cameron has the advantage in the North, because Magruder joined the Southern army; but Magruder has an advantage in the fact that bis reputation for truth has not yet been riddled so thoroughly as has Mr. Cameron's. In the recent historical antagonisms Mr. Cameron has been confronted by several living witnesses, and he has not as yet ven tured to meet any of them when challenged to the proof. We welceme these antagonisms as likely to lead the publio to a correot judgment on the points at issue. The time is past when the testimony of intelligent men, who have been actors in, or cognizant of, important events can be ignored because they were guilty of joining in causeless war against the North; and the dispassionate of all parties will be glad to have their contributions to throw all possible light upon the as yet unwritten his tory of the war. For that reason we gave publicity to General Magruder 's and Jeffer son Davis' letters, and for the same reason ire copied Judge Black's article. The true history of publio men and publio events must be written, and he who contributes to it will be beard by the whole American people with out prejudice. The truth of history must be vindicated, let him suffer who may. OUR DIRECT TRADE WITH GREAT BRITAIN. . We give below a table a table showing the direct trade between the United States and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from the year 1853 to the year 1868 inclusive, in ships with cargoes only. The tonnage of the vrss-U belonging to Great Britain, the United 8tatos, aad other countries, are given sepa rately, as follows Ofinhtr Tmr$. (Pmi.l (TbsO (r.)

In I860, the year before the commencement of hostilities, the tonnage of British vessels en gaged in tbe direct trade between the two coun tries was but 945,603 tons, while that of the American vessels was 2,245,834 tons, a large In ert ase on any previous vear, and more than double the former. The year 1361 witnessed an increase of about ten per cent, in the British tonnage, and a decrease of about the same pro portions in the American tonnage. In 1863 the British tonnage fell off considerably, below even that of I860; but the decrease tn the American tonnage was nearly one-fourth. In 1865, the last year of the war, the British tonnage, it will be seen, had increased to 1,231,660 tons, while the American tonnage had decreased to a paltry figure, 484,098 tons. Since the close of the war, however, there has been a steady increase in the tonnage of both nationalities, although in 1866 that of Great Britain was about three times as great as that of the United States during the same year, and almost equal to that of the latter in 1860. It will be seen that, although in the years 1862-65 there was a large falling-oil .in the aggregate tonnage of the direct trade be tween the two countries, the figures for 1863 show that even then the loss had been almost made up. OBITUARY. Mark l.emoa. Mark Lemon, the well-known editor of Punch, and almost tbe last of tbe ban of humorists who thirty years ago were making their reputations, but whose works have now become classics, died yes terday in London, at the age of sixty-one. Mr. Lemon was of Jewish descent, and he was born In London on the 80th of November, 1309. His first literary efforts were as a writer and adapter of plays, and he had a hand In the production of about sixty dramatic compositions of various kinds. All lb one 'a "Dictionary of Authors" and other authorities on such subjects, state that he was the author of the once popular comedy of The Seriou Family, bat upon what ground we are not aware. French's edi tion of The Serious family gives Morris Boraett as the author, but In point of fact It ts "adapted," or, In other words, stolen from the French, like most modern British plays. Its original Is a French comedy entitled Un Mari tn Campagnt, and It is possible that Mr. Lemon may have made a version of 1U Mr. Lemon had a great fondness for the stage, and he frequently performed as an amateur for charitable purposes. About a year ago he under took the part of "Falstaff" upon the regular boards, and made a decided hit, his conception of the char acter being pronounced by many of the London critics to be superior to that of any professional actor of the day. In 1341 Punch was started with Mr. Henry Mayhew as the editor, and with Douglas Jerrold, W. M. Thackeray, Thomas Hood, Albert Smith, Mark Lemon, and other writers as contributors. Lemon was joint editor, and on the retirement of Mayhew, two years afterwards, he became editor In chief, a position which he held up u the time of his death. To Mr. Lemon's skill, judgment, and thorough appreciation of the tastes of the British publio the brilliant suc cess of Punch was in a great measure due. It is true he had a brilliant corps of co-laborers both In the literary and art departments men who have had no successors, and who are apparently notBlikely to have. In the early numbers of PunehZ Thackeray figured as "The Fat Contribu tor" and wrote for it "Jeames's Diary" and "The Snob Papers ;" Jerrold contributed the "Q Papers," "The Story of a Feather," and the immortal "Caudle Lectures." In 1844 appeared Hood's "Song of the Shirt," and Albert Smith discussed the "Physiology of Evening Parties," and related the adventures of a London medical student. Of the writers who made the fame of Punch Charles Dickens Is the only one, we believe, who remains, and Mr. Dickens was never a regular contributor like Jerrold and Thaoke ray. Of the artists Richard Doyle still lives, and In the full enjoyment of his fine powers, although he has not contributed to Punch for many years, but John Leech, who did even more than Doyle for the reputation of Punch, Is dead, and he has no succes sor any more than Jerrold or Thackeray, runes has fallen into disrepute of late years, but It Is un deniable that it was once a power in the land, and one of the most Influential exponents of public opinion. In feeling the pulse of the British public, and In manoeuvring to adapt Itself to the ideas of the times, the London Tir,t never dis played half the skill that Punch did; and although It was frequently distinguished by malicious and mendacious abuse of those who came under Its dislike, or rather the dislike or lu readers, no paper ever published knew better how to make the amends hnrhlc when It was neces sary to de so. A notable instance of this was given when the news of President Lincoln's assassina tion was received In England. During the whole or pur great conflict Punch had been the bitterest of all the Copperhead organs of Europe, and Mr. Lin coln was made the special objeot of ridloule and abuse. The announcement which was made of his death, however, the total recantation ef evervthing It had said about him or an offensive character, and the sincere respect it evinced for his maiy noble qualities, were apparently so sincere that It was Impossible not to meet the apologist half way and accept his regrets for his past evil deeds. This was but one out or many instances or the polioy that ruled In the management or Punch, and It Is one or the secrets or Its success. The future or the publi cation, however, Is far from appearing brilliant. It has numerous actrve rivals In the field, some of which are quite as good If not better than Itself; but comlo writer and comlo draughtsmen are appa rently scarce, for the Punch of to-day is a very dull affair, and now that Mark Lemon has follewed Jerrold, Thaokeray, Mayhew, and Hood, it may be said Indeed that the old times are dead and that the hump-backed jester who ior thirty years has been cracking everybody and everything over the head with his bladders, had better don his cap and bells and prepare for his own funeral. In addition to his writings for Punch and his dramatic productions, Mr. Lemon was a frequent contributor to the magailnes and periodicals. A number of his sketches appeared In Household Word, and for many years he officiated as literary editor of the Illustrated Lcndon h'twc Among his writing that are known to tbe public may be mentioned "The Enchanted Doll." a fairy tale, published in 1U9; "A Christmas Hamper," a collection or stories In prose and verse, tn 1859; "Wait for the End," In 186 J; "Legend or Number Nip" and "Loved at Last," In 1864; "Falkner Lyle," "Steryof Two Wives," and "Leighton Hall and other Tales," In 1166. In addi tion to these, he has edited a collection of Jests and about a hundred songs. Mr. Lemoa Is said to have been a man of genial disposition aad a genuine humorist in private life, and he was held tn high esteem by the brilliant ceterle of literary men with whom he was associated for so many years. 1 The Dayton ladles deny that the woman suf fragist have big feet. OLD WORLD ITEMS. Austria and Russia have abrogated the ex tradition treaty hitherto existing between them for tbe surreadcr of military deserters. . A treaty of commerce has been concluded at Guatemala between the Austro-flungarian empire and the Guatemalan republic. Tbe Austrian Court Is In great consterna tion. The daughter of the Emperor, the Arch duchess Giselle, is dangerously ill with scarla tina. The number of persons who emigrated from liverpool during April was 24,153, or 2336 less than in tbe corresponding month of last year. The British and Colonial Emigration Society is to send out 1350 additional emigrants on board ships which will leave England for Canada In June. Emigration from France and Italy to Algeria is greatly on the increase, and the French colonies are pressing dally farther into the Interior. There is a journal In Faris published in the Japanese language. It is la the shape of a memorandum book without backs, and is edited by M. Rosmay, a professor of Oriental tongues. In Cheltenham, England, samples of sugar have been found so fearfully adulterated with chromate of lead that it Is a wonder how any of tbe unfortunate partakers of it survived to tell the tale. The independent thinkers ef Grata (Styria) have collected tbe necessary funds for the crea tion of a superior school free from all religious instruction. It is the first attempt of the Kind that baa been made in Austria. Two smart shocks of an earthquake were felt at Comrie, Scotland, on Friday night. They were accompanied with a rumbling noise. The vibration was from west to east. The wind was westerly and the night fine. No strawberries this year at Madrid 1 The Spanish capital has hitherto beeu supplied with that delicious fruit from Valencia; but this year tbe prices offered for the Spanish strawberries at Faris have carried every crop to that market. A submarine velocipede is the next new thing in Faris. It is so arranged that the rider, or rather the inmate, can see all around him, and either rise or descend in the water at will. Ue occupies a horizontal position and is sup plied with plenty of condensed air. The quantity of British proof spirits con sumed in the United Kingdom during 1869 was no less than 21,621,590 gallons, ot which Eng land drank 11,500,000, Scotland 5,250,000, and Ireland nearly 5,000,000 gallons. The amount of duty paid on the whole quantity was 10,860,795. The Opinion Nalionale gives a curious ac count of the manner in which the writing of Flourens, in the letter seized on the person of Beaurie, the French conspirator, was discovered. 'When the former left for England he amused himself by sending his card to M. Pietri, Pre fect of Police, and he added the F. P. C. of de parture usual among friends and acquaintances. On a piece of note paper in which the card was wrapped he wrote "Variant pour VAngleterre." The Prefect compared the papers, and at once ascertained the indentity of the handwriting in each. The British Post-Office savings banks continue to prosper, and the business done increases rapidly. There was not a post-office bank in tbe United Kingdom until the 16th September, 1861, and at the end of 1869 there was 13, 524,209 due to depositors. The interest paid to depositors, or added to the credit side of their accounts, now exceeds 300,000 a year. The amount paid in and the amount drawn out fn the course of a year are very large; in 1869 5,787,218 was received from depositors, and 4,227,650 was paid to depositors. The charges of management and expenses Incurred in 1869 amounted to 62,060. . Political excitement is producing at Madrid a plentiful crop of caricatures. One of the best represents Prim dancing on a slack rope upon the points of swords, which he wears as stilts, while the republicans and partisans of the vari ous candidates for the throne look on in expec tation of a fall. It is called "Equilibrlos del Interinidad." Another consists merely of a sheet divided into thirty squares, each square containing a comic portrait of some one of the claimants of the throne. In the host of others tbe "Auction" and the ''Duel" are worthy of notice. The former represents Prim knocking down the crown to the highest bidder; the lat ter depicts him aa engaged In a mortal combat with a friar, while a bishop acts as a second for each of the opponents. The ship-masters and ship-owners in Bath, Me., have held a meeting and adopted resolu tions approving Mr. O'Neill's bill to regulate the shipping and paying off of seamen. SPECIAL. NOTICES.
