NEw YORK, June 2.
The New York Chamber of Commerce
met to-day, Hen. Geo. Opedyke In the
Chair. Gen. Hiram Walbridge submit
ted the.following resolution:
Jecm/ved, That the Chamber .
nierce of New York city heartily' , endor
ses the resolution of the Committee of
ays and Means, which unanimously
passed the House of Representatives of
the United States on the 28d sof: March,
`1860; recommending the President Of the
United States to renew negotiations with
the Government. of. Great. Britain, and
press them, if pos•ible; to a delft:lite con
clusion. for the arrangement of recipro
cal trade with Canada, and ecuring to
our citizens the freedom of the river. St.
Lawrence and freedom of Ai& inshore
fisheries of the coast of British North
America.
General Walbridge, in a lengthy
speech, said while opposing any meas
ures looking to the acquisition of Canada
by force, he would welcome its: people
when they are willing to link their po
litical fortunes with the United States.
He did not believe it good policy to
attempt to coerce Canada by commercial
restrictions into a union with the United
States.' Intimate commercial relations
should be brought about upon terms
mutually beneficial, and the political
result will follow in good time. General
Walbridge stated the questions between
the United States and the Provinces
Were, first, an interchange of natural pfb
ducts of soil upon such redprocal' terms
as may be agreed upon; second, accu
mulation of excise duties and of patent
and copyright laws; third, free naviga-
I tion or the river St. Lawrence and en
largement of the canal south; fourth,
freedom of inshore fisheries of the coast
of British America; fifth, regulation of
transit trade.
He then_proceeded to argue in favor of
the resolutions and propositions above
advanced, contending that whilst the
Canadians will be satisfied with the con
yenience of selling in our markets'in re
turn for the enlargement of the St. ] , Law
rence Canal by them free of cost to the
United States, the freedom of the St.
Lawrence and fisheries, yet that con
venience• of our markets to ,them
will really be no competition to
our farmers and absolute benefit to
our Merchants. Oar capital and credit,
together with the fact that we-have free
access to the ocean at all seasons of the
year, would be a great convenience to
Canadians. but their use also necessarily
implies that in using our capital, our I
credit and our ports,we derive the advan
tages that possession of capital, credit
and ports give. to the community. In
other words, tee become the merchants
of four millions of people, whom we are
now driving away.
The resolution was adopted, and it was
voted that a copy of the argument be
transmitted to the Secretary of State,
who, it is understood, is about to take
into consideration the proposition advo
cated by Gen. Walbridge.
District Attorney Pierrepont has con
sented to take bonds for the Quaker City

losing one ' thousand dollars per day
by her detention. Preaident Great has
pardoned George Meyers convicted in
January of having, counterfeit five dol

argument before Judge Blatchford on

dons were revoked by President Grant.

The official correspondence between
England and America, relative to the Al
abama affairs, is published. In yebru.
ary, 1868, Secretary Seward expressed a
wish far the Settlement of these claims,'
and suggesting an • International confer
ence. Subsequently Secretary Seward
desired that the naturalization and San
Juan questions should first be settled,
and these were accordingly concluded.
In October Minister Johnston, in behalf
Of Secretary Seward, proposed that the
Alabama claims be referred• to a com
mittee formed of an equal number of
British and Americans, With power to call
upon an umpire in case of disagreement,
'whose deoision should be final. Lod
Stanley responded that the point on.
which the former. negotiations broke
off was mainly the maims that the
Americans would raise before, the arbi
tration. The question of the alleged pre
mature recognition by her Majesty's
' government of the state of ••the
easy off the Coufederacy would . not be
taken up, and thereby cause the govern
ment to depart from the position already
taken, but that .be saw difficulty in so
framing the reference than by mutual
consent either a tacit or express difileulty
-might be avoided. Tno negotiations
thereafter proceeded rapidly on the basis
of this agreement, by which both nations
were to be blended for the purpose of
making things run smoothly, and a con
vention was & awn up aud signed In
? December, England conceding that the
place of meeting should be Washington.
'Subsequently Mr. Seward informed Mr.
i Thornton that the contents of the con
/volition were not in aecordunce with the
instructions to Minister Johnson, and
the President and his colleagues could
not approve of certain stipulations,
which in the present form would not re
ceive the sanction of the Senate. Mr.
Seward assured Mr. Thornton of the de
sire of the United States , to bring the
matter to a satisfactory conclusion, and
acknowledged the negotiations, but
hoped the importance of the subject
would lead him to consent to modifica
tions acceptable to the Senate.
On the English Ministry being
changed, Lord Clarendon wrote' ' under
date of December 24th, that the British
government was prepared to meet the
wishes of the United States, an) sent a
draft of the convention on which nego
tiations were to be completed by the 14th
of January. The second convention,
drawn up by Lord Clarendon. and re
jected by thet'Senate, was In fact a pro
posel to cheat the public by deceptive
clauses in regard•to the recognition of
belligerency, and excited Indignant com
ment here with all fair minded man, and
appears to have fully justified the action

NUMBER 125
The 41 priendshin” In Litigation
The-little dispute which resulted in the
' disbandment of thp old and the organi
.
zation of the new "Friendship" Hose
Company, in Allegheny, has 'assumed a
new phase of a decidedly interesting
character. be remembered that
the "bolting") members, claithing that
Councils had 'no authority to disband
them, and that they were the real organ
. zation; carried off the Prize Hose Car
riage and nearly all the eanip
ments of the company. Proceeding
further in the maintenance of their
claims, they demanded of the Treasurer,
Mr. H. R. Davis, the funds in his hands,
amounting to about seven hundred dol
lars. Mr. Davis, by legalladvice, refused
their demand, retained oessession of the
money, and when the company were or
ganized handed it in to that treasury..
Not satisfied with this arrangement,'
hoWever, and failing to make any.other.
the "bolters" have at last instituted pro
ceedings in equity,
in the Court of
Common Pleas, witha view of compell
ing Mr. Davis to accede totheir demands.
The bill is signed by James Hunter and
seventeen members of the old company,
who assert they have been associated to
gether as the Friendship Hose Company
since April, 1868; have regularly received
money for their services froth the city
authorities; and that seven hundred
dollars collected by them was placed -An
the hands of the Treasurer,, Mr. it. R.
Davis, who refused to hand
them in April
last, (after the disbandment, as ordered
by Councils). For these reasons they
ask that an order be issued compelling
him to pay over the amount to. WM.
Somerville, the regular elected Treesurer, a preliminary injunction in the
meantime to be issued, to prevent him
from paying out or disposing of the funds
in any other way.
So the case stands at present, but it is
probable the court will finally settle .the
matter in a few days. It Is but proper
to say that Mr. Davis is acting Under
legal advice in the whole affair, and act
ed accordingly in turning the money
over to the Treasurer of the new organi- -
ration.
Learning Fast.
A colored newsboy, abont thirteen
years of age, developed himself in a new
'line yesterday, at the Federal street:tie
pot of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and
Chicago railroad. If he but continues in
the business, unless checked by some Un
toward event, such as the penitentiary,
he is destined to achieve eminence as a
swindler. His operation yesterday con
sisted in appropriating a valise and a roll
of leather, which bad been.placed on the
floor by a gentleman, who momentarily
had his attention directed to the purchase
of a ticket.
The young operator carried the goods
into the freight office, and walking. bank
to the passengers waiting-room, cooly
stepped up to the gentleman who was
anxiously looking for his property, and
askedhow much would be given for its
,recovery. 'Not suspecting the boy to be
the 'Yhtef; 'thergenttettlen yffered a Vol
lar 'which was accepted and' the losierwas
conducted to the baggage room, where
the articles 'were. The young hopeful
immediately disappeared, ancv, it was
some time before the swindle was dis
covered. He has not' been since. .
