Sir Francis Head, formerly Governor-Oencral 
of Canada, lias sent a letter to tbs London 
Times, enclosing his correspondence with Sec¬ 
retary Mnrey arising out of the Canadian rebel¬ 
lion in 1837. Sir Francis, in his letter, argues 
tiiat if the United States was in the wrong at 
that time, then England has dormant claims for 
apology and compensation, though they have 
boon long ago overlooked and forgot ten. I f the 
United States was right- then he submits to the 
good sense and good feeling of the Americans 
the logical, moral and political Impossibility of 
now refusing a reply for tho Queen's neutrality 
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 remain neutral In tlie lute war, arid concludes 
with a promise to reply in a second letter to 
Senator Sumner's complaints of the- assistance 
rendered by England to the Confederates. 
Mr. Forster, Vice-President, of the Council, In 
an address to his constituents, opposed the views 
put forward by Senator Sumner in his speech on 
the Alabama claims, lie said the Government 
could not beheld responsible for tho offensive 
acts of individuals. It had strained the law In 
favor or the V uitedStates in stopping tho rams. 
England was prepared to pay for the mistake in 
thf ease of tho Alabama on due arbitration. Ho 
considered concession beyond a oertain point

felt assured that war would never occur between 
England and America.

squaw, wielding a knife, tried to sheath it in the 
body of an officer, when one of the guard shot 
her dead. Big Head looked with scorn on the 
circle of bayonets surrounding him, and stabbed 
Sergeant Haaen, dangerously wounding him in 
the back; one of the guard shot him dead. Dull 
Knife tried to stab everybody near him, and he 
was pricked severely by bayonets- He and tho 
senseless Cardigon were then disarmed and 
placed in the guard-house.

Europe. 
Reverdy Johnson took formal leave or Queen 
Victoria by letter, and not at a private inter¬ 
view, as has been stilted. On the 13th inst. he 
waited upon Lord Clarendon and announced his 
retirement from office. 
It is believed in Paris that the French Govern¬ 
ment will shortly issue a peaceful manifesto and 
then reduce the army. Political disorders con¬ 
tinue in Paris, the police aro forced to inter¬ 
fere, and a number of arrests have already been 
made. 
Spain is not to have a federal republic, so the 
Cortes has decided. The question of the es¬ 
tablishment of a triennial directory is under 
discussion. 
The Austrian Reichsrath closed its sessions on 
the 18th inst. The Emperor Francis Joseph ad¬ 
dressed the members previous to adjournment. 
He spoke in a cheerful manner of tho condition 
of the empire. 
Political meetings were held In Parts on Satur¬ 
day, the 15th inst. They were conducted In a 
quiet manner, and the police did not interfere. 
The Government will not tolerate any more vio¬ 
lent demonstrations. No political meetings will 
be permitted within live days of the elections. 
The Cortes on the 15th inst. again rejected the 
proposition to establish a triennial directory. A 
regency is again looked for, with Serrano at its 
head. A number of arrests of members of the 
civil guard have been made. 
The cable dispatches of the 17th Inst, state that 
Rcvcnly Johnson had been invited to a farewell 
banquet by the Corporation of Southampton 
previous to bis departure for America. It Is the 
opinion In London that tho French Government 
secretly fomented the political discontent In 
Paris with a view to florae ulterior design. 
The Spanish Cortes fears a civil war, and is 
consequently in l’avor of a regency. Tho Cortes 
also declares Llmt “ the sovereignty is essentially 
in t he nation, from which till power emanates." 
Tho Swiss authorities prohibit Maz/.ini from 
living in any Canton bordering on Florence or 
Italy- 
The cablegrams of the 18th state that Reverdy 
Johnson declined the proposed banquet of the 
Southampton authorities in his honor. The 
English Press still fret over Senator Sumner's 
speech. The London Standard of the 18tU inst. 
contained an editorial In which it was asserted 
that England is still prepared to submit the 
question of wrongs und damages to a proper 
tribunal. , 
The Archbishop of CaaheT, in a pastoral letter, 
deplores the recent outrages in the South of 
Ireland. He considers them, however, as tho 
acts of a few desperadoes, and he denies the 
existence or an agrarian conspiracy.

With tho exception of a general dullness In tho 
markets, there have been few changes during tho 
week. The total amount of meat* has been larger, 
and with the opening of the Strawberry season, und 
new vegetables coming forward somewhat freely, 
the demand for beef and pork Is falling off, Mutton, 
loo, goes slowly, but spring lamb is lu quick demand, 
tho more so since green peas are abundant nud have 
gone into extensive use.

Beevofc. The receipt* foot up 1,000 more than 
lust week, but the luck then has so drawn upon ar¬ 
rivals Hint prices are fully svtstulnud, Utul the trade 
show* 11 good degree of life. Still, owners complain 
that there U not margin enough between the cost, of 
cattle at the West and pjtcea obtained here to admit 
of a living protit. 
The strifo now la between the Western producer 
and tho speculator or drover. In some eases the 
dealer makes sunli a low hid that the feeder conics 
to New York with his stock, and then the inlluences 
are brought to bear to sicken him as much as possi¬ 
ble that lie mav accept of low offers ut home the 
next time With the exception of three or four 
heavy operator* located at the West, such as the 
Alexanders, II. R, Smith, Ac., the dealers here, or 
those who operate On tlie roads, manage to buy up 
most of the stock, thus changing the traac materi¬ 
ally from what It was formerly. If only the prices 
paid to the farmer, with actual expenses for bringing 
on, cost of selling Ac., were added, the cuttle would 
he much cheaper to tin- butcher than they now arc. 
Not nnfrr.qinintly thrnn or four commission# are 
iiiude on stock before the slaughturergcls hold of It, 
and then another proflt Is added from the wholesale 
to the retail butcher. This Is what make* the beef 
cost so much, if wo add also the credit system, by 
which each consumer has to contribute something 
to make up for tho freqaeat failures, cither ol’ the 
dealer or butcher. 
After a slow market on Monday last, when the 
3,776 head could nut all be* sold oven at a little reduc¬ 
tion in price, the trade on Wednesday was more ani¬ 
mated. Only t,7W head of fresh cattle were on sale 
that day. besides about. 206 held from Monday. 
Butchers began to feel the effects or the light sup¬ 
ply of the previous week and their anxiety to pur¬ 
chase, was turned to account by owners and sellers 
of stock A plump b ill cent, per lb. was a ided, and 
before t he dose a whole cent additional was obtain¬ 
ed over the rates of Monday, f?r cattle going readily 
at Ifk&lflJSC. V it, and only some sMIl-fcd bull* at 
13c., besides which nothing wont under Uv/RUc. 
yesterday there were JJWl tattle offered,and all sold, 
the range being from 14 to 109,e. mostly at 156vl8c. 
Everything was sold, amt the market closed toler¬ 
ably ttrm, but not so ranch so-as on Wednesday.
