The London News remarks, as to stop- tping Englisn merchants supplying arms and ammunition to the North or South. that the thing is impossible. It then quotes authorities to snow that the fitting out of such ships as the Alabama is a breach not. Only of international but sta tote law. ,The Post traces the inaction of Gen. McClellan's army to the success of lllt‘ -Democrats in the State elections. It says General McClellan is a consistent Demo- crat, that he is a universal favourite with the people and soldiers, and that it is well knowri that he is not unwilling to see the lwar'terminated. The Past thinks that if ’the elections in the other States should prove favourable to the Democrats, in- creasing to no inconsiderable extent the Demooratic element in Congress, the» pro"- bilities‘ of a speedy peace will be so much «enhanced as to make any attempt to“ in- wade Virginia not only useless but criminal.

It is reported that the discussions in ‘the French Cabinet regarding the Roman question were worse than evm‘. and it is stated that a majority of the ministers felt disposed to resign, unless the Emperor should give Rome to the Italians.

I have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Londship’s obedient servant, G. GREY. PS You will acknowledge the receipt hereof. The Lord Provost, who felt very anxious for the receipt of a letter from the Home Office, immediately proceeded to tlie‘North Prison, and communicated the tidings about midnight to the prisoner. Mrs M’Lachlan was in bed, and had been saleeping about an hour. The Lord Pro- wost on entening the cell, said that the dust time he had visited her it was only in‘ his power to inform her .of a temporary respite. but that now he was happy to 111~ form her that he had received intimation from the Home Secretary that the sentenc- passcd upon her was not to be carried out, and that she was to await her Majesty’s further pleasure. .IIis Lordship then read the above letter, and added that she ought to return thanks to God Almighty that the great efforts made on her behalf had [been crowned with success. Mrs Mc- Lachlan assured the Lord Provost that clre would not fail to do so, and begged to .express her thanks to his Lordship for the ,great trouble which had been taken on her behalf. The poor woman was deeply .ndected. by; understand that the usual effect of ,a ,nespite ‘ durang her b’laiesiy’s pleasure,’ is ito pet aside the sentence of death, and .to leave the disposal ofatrhe prisoner to the further consideration ofher Majesty’s ad- users. w~ -v...- _. .,.._.

IF ministers have really resolved to bring any measures of consequence before Parliament during next. ses- sion, it is quite evident they do not wish to let the public know much about them. There are several questions of the greatest importance to the country which demand im- IIIediat‘e attention at the hands of the Legislature, yet we do not hear a word as to the course the Government intends to pursue.- The single ministerial journal that undertakes to speak with any de- gree of authority, gives no satisfac- tory information onthe sribjoci,.â€"lt is true that something has lately been said. in reference-to a Bank- rupt Bill flint is to be brought for- ward. A bill of this kind waspre pared by the late Ministry, and it would no doubt. if judiciously framed, meet with the hearty ap- proval ofthe mercantile community. But in more respects than one Would the discussion of bankrupt affairs be appropriate at the present time. If the Hon. gentleman who has charge of the bill, could man- age to introduce a clause applicable to insolvent politicians, which would enable them to get rid of their engagements, and grant thorn permission to begin business ,anciv unencumbered by past pledges, he would bring a vast amount of corn- fort both to himself and his col- leagues. By ‘.takingihe benefit" of such an not they might perhaps be enabled to gain the confidence of the people, and contract fresh li- abilities. Without somc such re- lief, however, it seems almost imâ€" possible that tliey can long continue to carry on the governrrient of the country, with so many unfulfilch promises staring them in the face. The great lnlcrnaiional Railroad scheme will undoubtedly form Ihe most prominent item in the forth- coming programme It is intended, no doubt, that it shall compensate for a host ofsbort comings, and serve to cover a ll’lullllt‘tdt‘. of sins. Of course that once useful, but now worn-out old nag, Representa- lion by Population, which served a good purpose on so many trying occasions; which has carried so many men into Parliament; which has giVen rise to such frequent ex- hibitions of righteous indignation on the floor of the House; Which has originuied hints at rebellion by one gentleman.“and threats of an appeal to WftSllll'lglt)n by another; which called forth fearful prophetic‘ forebodings of the wreck and ruin that were rapidly overtaking the country, and fori'ncd the text for so many eloquent Philippics against the late government: this grand panacea, ibis soverign remedy for all the ills that ihe body politic is heir to, is now to be unceremoni- ously thrown aside, peradventure to be trotted forth to perform further servioe on some future occasion.â€" Such is the mutability of human af- fairs, suoli is the changeableness of Clear Grit principles l The public will now be asked to disbelieve or forget ’all that the late Opposition said in favor of this measure.â€" You are to recollect, dear simple- minded public, that these men did not really moan What they said; they liiidbclreld the crnolumenis of office in other bands for a long, and to them interminable period.

Let them have a fair chance, and‘tliere is no danger of their misimproving it. . A great deal has been said about retrenchment. in. the public evpcn- (liture, and IllE‘l‘e' is no doubt that a vast amount of political capital will be iiranufacturéd put. of this fabric. If there have been useless offices in existence", it is only r=glit that they should be. abolished, and the Go- vernment should receive due credit f‘oi'anytliing they legitimately ac- complish in that direction. But if the practice, wliicli‘iliey have initi- ated, of dismissing persons, from oflioe merely to make room for po- liiical partiZaiis is to continue, no amount of saving can compensate for the evils that may be .exlrected to Iesult.

The Women were first looked after, and all got out safely.

During the early progress of the fire, several lunfeeling rascals entered the rooms of many of the guests, and stole whatever valuables of a. portable character they could lay their hands upon. A man named Wilmoro stole avala- able gold watch, belonging to a Southern gem- tlernan.‘ whose name we did not learn.
