" The Alabama Claims Senator Sumner's Speech in England— Its Effect on the People and Go vernment—What England Shored Do In Beply—A Cabinet Council and Opinion of John Bright, Lord Clarendon and Mir. Gladstone. I BY ATLANTIC CABLES' LONDON, April.Bo, 1869.—Tne London papers, this morning, open their editorial pages with comments on the speech lately delivered by Sena tor Sumner, in the United States Senate, on the subject of the Alabama claims, and the relations generally existing between Great Britain and America. The writers suppress the text of the speech, however. The London Star, JOhn Bright's organ, says that the claizei of Mr. Sumner are so new and startling and so vaguely put that they must .be regarded simply as enormous and withal unex pe,eted that if they convey merely the shadow of his Instructions Minister Motley will come to the English metropolis in a very different official guise from that:rimier which Minister Johnson, the genial diner-ont now about to bid adieu to the Court and people, arrived. The Star deplores the rejection by England of the early overtures made by ex-Minister Adams for a settlement of this question. President Grant is not, it is said, a whole-touted lover of peace as was the late Mr. Lincoln. He has intense determhiation of character, but is a Western man, without that natural genius which served Mr. Lincoln, who, instead of reading, had actual experience of the world. President Grant has no training, either as a lawyer or a politician. He is intensely American and the entire world is acquainted with Lia resoluteness of purpose. After defending England from the charge of a general sympathy with the rebel confederates, the writer confesses that the escape.of the Alabama from England was not h deplorable and disgraceful, form ing the wont precedent Great Britain could establish for the future in such like contingency. The Star expresses, however, Its amazement at the character of Mr. Sumner's de mands in reparation. If Mr. Motley's instruc tions are couched in a similar spirit his mission will be fruitless, as the extravagance of the pro p:mittens will strike the public at once. Every one knows how anxious the British people are to deal fairly on the subject; but they justly consider that if her concessions are tb be merely used as standpoints for further and at present unheard of demands England must carefully consider the position, lest by yielding unadvisedly she should ,stabilah a worse precedent than even that of burning ships on the high seas by admitting a discussion of demands utterly untenable and which ought to be resisted. The London Times designates the estimates of American damages put forth by Mr. Sumner as portentous, as it has already reached .A 422,000,000, nod may in the future embrace the possible earn ings of all the soldiers drawn from the fields of productive labor by war. The speech, it adds, is worthy of Mr. Sumner's ability, and deserves an impartial consideration. He wants, however, 'something more than national reparation from England, asking for contrition and a public he miliation. The Times asserts that in this Eng land is cruelly wronged, and America has had no useful object served. Expres sions of regret and penitence are re quired by treaty. Trestles of peace, however, dictated by conquerors at the head of udes, are found to be unencumbered by such expressions. An acknowledgment of moral liability for these claims, made beforehand, would prejudge the controversy and stultify the proposed settlement. In the event of an arbitration court declaring England not liable to pay damages would her apology be taken back ? The view taken by Mr. Bumner's argument on these points is puerile, unreasonable and unstatesman like The Times argues that the concesalun of belligerent rights to the South was a simple act and fact not dependent on the Union blockade, for had there not been a blockade It would not have altered the case to any appreciable degree. The prevailing tone of Mr. Sumner's speech is characterized as passionate and remonstrative and his menace betrays a one • sided partisanship lamentable as coming from •a representative of a great country. Mr. Sumner makes, it is said, no complaint against France, although the Emperor Napoleon was desirous of recognizing the independence of the Southern confederation. It is alleged that though England is held forth as the only foreign Power implaca bly hostile to America it is not too much to say that one moment during the war the late of the American Union depended on the voice of England, whose sword thrown into the scale would have altered the result. She declined the contest, and it evinces a degree of unfairness bordering on infatuation to leave this consideration out of account. It Is a common practice with American journalists and politicians to vilify England, and the pro tective tariff plan is popular with them merely as likely to inflict an injury on Great Britain. Let atonement be made for the use of insulting lan guage by individuals, and it will be seen whether England and America, by a retrospective verdict of public opinion, will continue the cultivation of mutual respect,which is as necessary as In the private relations of life. Nations, as such, only deal in overt acts, and these constitute merely possible subjects for pecuniary compensation. The London Standard, a Tory organ, says that the American Senate has done more than reject the treaty, as it has given the world reasons to believe by Mr. Sumner's speech, which, as en dorsed by that supreme body, covers all ques tions of the foreign diplomacy of the country. The English people now know what Mr. Motley will have to aim at In his efforts to arrange the Ala bama claims on the former basis, now wasted away. In some respects good will ensue from the candor which the American Senate displays. Formerly the danger was that England would step beyond a due regard for the national honor and rignity and allow the claims ;but now when the demand has assumed its present proportions they will feel assured that even with John Bright in the Cabinet they are safe from a chance of dis graceful capitulation. The American claim can hardly be described in serious language and Its terms not excite indignation. They might as wall argue against a proposal for American troops to hold the Tower of London as a mate rial guarantee, or that the Prince of Wales should be sent to Washington and placed In the hands of the federal authorities as a hostage for England's good behavior in the future. The policy of England on this subject is no longer an open question. America bas formally recorded her resolution that there shall be no settlement of the Alabama claims short of that England shall surrender at discre tion and submit to any punishment which the United States Senate, in its supremacy over the affairs of the world, may choose to inflict. In other words, she has decided that the Alabama claims shall not be amicably settled, whatever may ensue. The Interval at the present day is long between national hatred and bombardment; it is useless to ignore and dangerous to forget that the feeling In America Is one of Intense and unmitigated hatred toward Groat Britain, and that a war with Eng land would be regarded as a na tional luxury, but expensive. England has not only admitted that such a war would be ex pensive, but deplorable. Under the circum stances It Id probable that the Americans will elect to kee p the Alabama claims-in reserve and await -their -opportanity for --revenge --more- • cheaply. War is not an agreeable solution, though involving danger rather than dishonor, and it may be bettor to accept any settlement which the present adminstration in London may have made if the attitude of the American Senate was less ridiculous. Mr. Sumner's speech creates an intense excite ment in political circles. , , , • SATINS, PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY. MAY 1, 1869. At a Cabinet meeting yesterday the ,subject of the speech Was informally discussed. Mr. Bright declared that the embarrasement which its publication produced served England vei y properly, but he agreed riot to consent to tniertaia the terms of sentiment foreshadowed try Mr. Sumner. Lord Clarendon expressed his belief that the actual ncgotlations going on between the two countrieson the subject were of a far less extreme character than the speeches of American Sena tors or articles in the public press. Re hoped to find Mr.MoLley as courteous as Minister Johnson had been. The present administration was eager for a lasting continuance of friendly relations with the United States. Mr. Gladstone professed to have good emir (ince, from reliable quarters, that the recent re jection of the treaty on this subject by the Amer ican legislature was purely a political movement. The present administration will endeavor. to Fettle the Alabama question on liberal and hon orable terms. Outside the tone of the English people is anti-American, and more so since hav ing read only a partial publication of Senator dumner's argument. IZIPOUTANT FRAM SOME. Will she Ecumenical Council Ever be meld 7 [Route (Aprils) Correspondence Landon Thneal There Is very general feeling outside Rome that the famous council summoned, for the Bth of Dc comber will not assemble, or will break down. Ls to its assembling, unless the political phase of Europe is much changed, there can be no doubt; se to its breaking dosn3; it la anotherquestion ; but the opinion of those on whom I ninctt'isiy la that delicate questions will not be brought too prominently forward ; that they will be kept a tittle beneath the surface, taken for granted, and glided over. Some of the more excited prelates of the Clinrch in Rome have from he first considered the step both impolite, and dangerous. "Why, when affairs are going on so well., risk a discussion the results of which Sill so lifflcult to foretell ?" But such remonstrances mere of no effect, as the Popo has set his heart upon the Council, and the foreign Bishops specially are ardently in favor of it; and one can asily understand why they should be, as for nearly 300 years the government of the Catholic or Universal Church has been the monopoly of be Italian clergy. It is not unlikely, therefore, .bat a struggle will be caused by foreign and French ambition, or by foreign interpretations of "univereality." Many of the Italian journals have ventured wildly to publish programme of the questions to be agitated in .he coming Church, and have insertedamong others, the marriage of priests; but, w hile this ,attar article must be utterly discarded from the dreams of journalists, no one, I believe, knows what is to be discussed. The only thing of which we can speak with any degree of probability is of the organization. The business of the council will be prepared by five sections or congregations, tome of which already exist, as that of the Pro paganda, each being under the presidency and .oatrol of a Cantinal. Every section will pre pare its special class of subjects, which, having seen discussed and approved, will undergo the same process before all the eongre .. atlons In union. Afterwards they will ..e laid before the Holy Father, who will finally ~p prove or reject them. Cardinal Reisach will preside over the section which is to prepare the questions touching the relations of the Pontifical government with foreign States, and as all aoyereigns are excluded from the Council, the Pope in determining the character of these rela tions will act through his Cardinal, or by his animate veto or approval, as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. So will it be with the other sec dome and I am not surprised, therefore, on con verging with persons devoted to the Church, to find that the most sanguine expectations are en , ermined of the success of the council. Each question will be sifted over and over again, and ultimately submitted to the approval or rejee• den of hie Holiness. And as in the preparation .o will it be in the final decision. The council will be Pius IX., and Pitts IX. will be virtually declared Infallible. That this will be, or is in tended to be, the spirit of the proceedings, we may infer from a perusal of the "Civilta Casio lice" of the 21st of November, 1868. The direc tors of this periodical were constituted into a .. congregazione" some time since by a Papal brief of Pine IX., with permission to publish forever whatever seemed to them to be right. The well-known organ of the Jesuits, it is no less 50, therefore, of the Pope. In an article on the (Ecumenical Council, it Insists that "the convo cation of a Council can belong only to the Pontiff;" and after describing the moral power of one at whose invitation the most distinguished persons came from all quarters of the globe to do him homage, adds : "They recognize him as father, pastor, master, guide, in everything infallible, and to him they dubject their intellect, their will their words, their acts, even themselves. They protest (as was seen in a solemn act recently signed by 500 Bishops assembled in Rome) to believe what he relieves, to feel what he feels, to speak as he speaks, to reject what he rejects, to not willingly deviate one iota from what ho shall be pleased to prescribe," If suclare the principles on which the Coun cil is to be conducted, its decisions are already made, and the Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church might as well remain in their dioceses. Some highly cultivated and well informed friends of mine good Roman Catholics, too, say: "The'Pope has introduced during his Pontifi cate of twenty-three years many novelties in which he honestly believes and for the perma nency of which he is anxious. Thus, he seeks for what some may call an act of indemnity, or what may be better styled a confirmation of the past. The word 'syllabus' will not be named. The temporal power will not be put too much in the foreground; it will not be attempted to erect the infallibility of the Pope into a dogma in as many words; but principles involving all these points will be laid down and sanctioned. The Bishops of the Church, under the influence of the genius led, will do as Rome desired, glide smoothly over all difficulties, and things will re main exactly as they were before." I give you this as the impression of well-in formed, far-seeing Roman Catholics, and it ap pears to me to be justified by the quotations I have given above. Should it however happen, contrary to all expectation, that any invincible opposition should arise, it will be easy, without dieeolving, to adjourn the meeting of the Council sine die. The site on which it is to be held is on the right of the dome of St. Peter's—an ample and a noble space. With regard to other prepara tions, his Hotinese has nominated a eongregazi one of five prelates, whose duty it will be to re ceive and lodge the Bishops; and to them he has caused it to be written that they will be enter tained free of all personal expense during their Aojourn in Rome. All, however, have replied, as lam informed, except the French and Italian Bishops, that they will provide for themselves; but their answers In the same sense may be forth coming. Already learned doctors of the Church are arriving to study the questions which may be submitted to the council, and among them is the Rev. Mr. (or Dr.) Corcoran, of Canada. Among outer reasons which thoughtful men in Rome eslgn for believing that the objects aimed at in calling the council are those stated above le the fact that the Church is not divided by any great or new schism, and that the greatest indif ference generally exists as to its interests. For whet, therefore, are bishops palled together but to sanction the past and virtually to create an authority hitherto not universally acknowl edized?.,At present, however, all are occupied with the Spectacles which are to bo exhibited on Saturday, Btaidarand•Modday: -. 1 - Most .- or many' of the Easter visitors have remained to see them, and as it was during the Holy Week so it is now—there is scarcely accommodation for a mouse. : —A clergyman at Kingston, England, refuses to admlt.youpg ladies to confirmation unleal they promise never to . dance. OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. 8001117 T FOE TIM PaIiVISNTION or CRUELTY TO ANIMALS, 1 320 Chestnut street. Messrs. Editors.—The dog, the companion and friend.; of man in both civilized and Savage life, has of latter times in this country received an undue share of public attention, not from any favoritism or affection, but from a vague eense of uneasiness and apprehension that be bears about him, and may impart, the germ of ono of the most horrid diseases known to medi cine. This is not surprising, when we take all the circumstances into view, and the absence of correct information as regards the nature of this disease (hydrophobia) in the dog. We all know tbatthis uneasy feeling is not confined to the few, but pervades to a large extent the public mind. In tills city, for many years past, the course of eventain this connection has been pretty much the same. About this time we hear of the usual number of " mad doge killed " in our streets. municipal enactments soon -follow, and in due time thereafter we see email gangs of half-naked, narefooted negroes, with lasso in their hands, moving at a dog trot through our streets and liege, flanked by perspiring policemen, and pre ceded by a cloud of skirmishers in the shae of half-grown.boys (boys always aide with the d ogs), whose duty it is to give timely warning to any hapless, nnmuzzled cur. of the approach of the Melon. Excitement is kept alive, and we hear nervous] and timid citizens questioning the pro priety of exterminating the race. I:am well aware that this exciting subject is so deeply buried beneath long years of prejudice (and ignorance, perhaps) that with many it will ne - Aidicult to obtain even a patient hearing. Still we should make the effort, and in calm rea ton-endeavor correctly to estimate the actual ex tent of the dangers to which our citizens are ex posed. In alluding to a subject which has, at different times, engaged the attention of men eminent in their prolesaion, in Europe and this country, I shall express no opinion nor criticise legislation, DOT do I wish to provoke any reply. will have to do only with facts as they are, and .here leave the subject. If in ao doing I can in a degree mitigate or allay an unwholesome ex zitement in the public mind, my end will have Seen attained. Mad-dog excitements are not confined to this zountry; they have, on several occasions, sm utted in England. Brighton, some years ago, had a perfect panic on this subject amongst its citizens. The following is an extract of an editorial in the Brighton Herald at the time, which, in some respects, may apply to our lati .nde: "There is no town in this kingdom, so the -xtraordinary precautions taken on the subject would make It appear, that has been so alarm ugly Infested with mad dogs as this during the ast half century. In the course of this period, scores of persons have been bitten by the re ported rabid animals, but it is remarkable that not a solitary instance can be adduced in which any human creature has been subjected to the 2oatsequenees which such bites and inoculations are said to produce. From the above, therefore, It may justly be inferred that the town has been kept in a ferment of apprehension, when there ass been no existing cause for it." Epilepsy Is a common disease in dogs,and many are killed when foaming at the month, and strug gling in - fits, as "mad dogs." No rt, a mad dog never has.fite, never avoids water, never rune with his tail between his legs, unless pursued and fright ened. Hydrophobia is of ancient date. It was known to medicine nearly ten centuries ago, and not .vithstanding the strides made in science since its distitevery, medical men have not yet arrived 11 any common stand-point as regards a fall saowledge of its nature; but, differingas they do in some particulars,' there are others on which the preponderance of the weight of testimony of most authors is of entire accord. One of these is, that canine madness was never known to originate in hot weather. The late Dr. Hew on used to ridicule the idea. Youatt, the celebrated Veterinary Surgeon of London, challenges one single instance of its being pro duced In a dog by a vertical ann. It is unknown as a disease in Syria, the West Indies, South America, and the ilia. Constantinople, that city of dogs and the plague, is a stranger to it. Dalloway, in hin description of it (p. 71) save— "lts only seavengerii of its narrow, 111-paved , lanes, are packs of unowned dogs, who by night perform this useful office. Among such a num r,er of dogs it is truly singular that canine mad- Less is scarcely known." Dr. Hinniken, in his notes on hirdeira tells us, "that curs of the most wretched description . abound there; that they Are %filleted with almost every disease, tormented oy flies, thirst, heat and famine, and yet no rabid cog was ever seen there.' Barrow, likewise, an nis Travels in' Southern Africa, remarked the en lire absence of Canine Mednees, though the Kaftan had plenty of dogs: - I have alluded to the testimony of medical men that canine madness does not occur in warm weather; but there is another point upon which there is very little diversity of sentiment,and that is that Hydrophobia Is of very rare occurrence at any season. The late' Dr. Goddard had never keen a case. Our well-known fellow-townsman, Dr. Addinell Hewson, tells me he never saw but due, and that some twenty years since. The re ,2ords of the Pennsylvania Hospital show that rem 1762 to 1880, a period of seventy years, out of 28,105 admissions to its wards, of all kinds of diseases, there was but °ilea hydrophobia; whilst of diseases closely resembling it (Manla-a-potn, Petanns and Hysteria), there were 320. Robert White, an English Surgeon, some years since published a book entitled "Doubts of Hydropho- Aa as a Specific Disease to be Communicated by he Bite of a Dog." But there is another aspect in w blob we must consider hydrophobia. It is established, beyond all doubt, that it occurs In the human race, with out the instrumentallty,of any animal, irrespec tive of those diseases whose symptoms so closely resemble it, and have so frequently been taken for it, even by medical men. Dr. Bardeley, of Edinburgh, in his "Observations on Canine and dpontaneous Hydrophobia," cites five different cases coining under his observation, where the patients have never been in contact with any animal. Doctor Percival gives a case of death by hydrophobia in a young gentleman whose mid dle finger, on its Internal edge, was slightly wounded by a splinter of wood. Baissen, 'Docteur en Medicine de la Ifaculte do Paris," in Ills "Traite sur L'Elydrophoble," gives full details of several cases of spontaneous origin, and the cffect of vapor-bath in their cure. There Is a very close resemblanee in the symptoms of mania-a-potu and tetanus to this disease. Doctor Ben j. Bush, in his "Essay on Tetanus," remarked the joint similarity with hydrophobia, having particularly noticed the symptoms of irritability and debility, and the same sense of strangulation Jolt in swallowing Squids, as occurring In both maladies. Youatt testifies to his successful treatment of ,•sees from the bite of rabid dogs in England, never having lost but one patient, and that one died from fright. He also asserts that he has been four times bitten by doge decidedly rabid. If we accept the fact that the nature of the dog, like human, is much the same the world over, it is not a little remarkable that somehow or other by far the largest share of this infliction seems to have fallen to the lot of the Anglo Saxon race. 8.

UITY BULLETIN. Nnw CuLvDDlS.—There are now in course of construction two large culverts, one on North Broad street, the other on Brown street. The one on Broad street is nine feet in diameter, commencing at the intersection of Gunner's Wan and Broad street, near the Connecting Railroad bridge. Ilpasses along Broad street to Ontario, thence to Smedley, thence to Tioga, and thence to Twenty-second street, at which place the work will terminate, the culvert being nearly a mile and a half long. The object of this wirer is to drain that portion of the city, which is fast Im proving and increasing in population rapidly. The one on Brown street is five feet iu diameter, starting from Franklin street and running to Eleventh, and up Eleventh street to Parrish, connecting with the sewer at that point. This improvement is intended to prevent the filling of cellars along the line of Parrish and portions of Poplar street, when there is a heavy fall of rain, in consequence of the Inability of the present sewer to carry off the water.
