Francis Head, formerly Governor General of Canada, has sent a letter to the Times, enclosing the correspondence with Secretary Marcy arising out of she Canadian rebellion in 1837. Sir Francis in his letter argues that if the United States was in the wrong at that' time, then England has dormant claims for apology and com pensation, though they have long been overlooked and forgotten. If the United States was Tight then, he submits to the good sense and good feeling of the Americans the logicid, moral and political impossibility of now refusing a reply for the Queen's neutral ity proclamation similar to_ that which they gave themselves in 1837. He calls attention to the fact that England was the only country in Europe which pledged herself, by proclamation, to re main neutral in the late war, and con cludes with epromise to reply in a second letter to Mr. Sumner's complaint of as sistance rendered to the Confederates. Mr. Forster, Vice.: President of the Cduncil, in an address to his constituents -opposed the views put , forward by Mr. Sumner in his speech on the Alabama claims. He said the government could riot be held responsible for the offensive acts of individuals. , It had strained the, ,law in favor of the • United States in stopping the rams. England was prepared to pay for the mistake-in the case of the Alabama,on arnitration. He considefed concession beyond a cer tain point would be crime, attended by humiliation. He felt assured that war would never occur between England and America. Conn, May 21.—Mr. Hagerty was to day elected Mayor of this city, in place of O'Sullivan, resigned.

Minister and the Minister of War, who with himself and all other Members of the awaited the decision of the Cortes for their guidance. He concluded by ad vising the Cortes to take care that no daring man cut the knot which they were unable to undo.
