Mull . . . . . . . . . . in these times of political quiet a stirring election contest, becomes a _cen.â€" tral'point of interest. It is‘partially ovrv-ing'to this fact, and partially to the novelty of the issues raised, that the struggletin North Wentworth, has for tfie last‘few weeks, attracted such genoâ€" ralizittention. Yet never did an election, contest present a stangex Spoof-3.010. Each candidate of an opposing party, and yet both profess’dly supporters of the, same government. Mr. Brown who is‘ifstaunch conserir'ative, has been Wir- dén-gfflie county for some years, and con- tested the last electionwith the late mém-‘ ‘No-tman. ' Mr. MeMonies, one ofgfiwoat prominent men in the toounty, belongs to the reform party, whichhas generally feturned the member; Mr: Brown’s offering: himself as a cafiiliglz'ite he was opposed by the Globe, whieh‘demzinded a reform nominee, on tlmvplea, that the time the coalition was formed, an‘agreement was made by the contracting parties, that in case of a va- cancy occurring in any constituency, the sauna should be filled by a member of the same} party that last heldit. Hence Mr. MoMonies was brought out to 5ch ceed Mr. Notman; and now there seems to be ‘évery prospect of as bitter a. panty contest; as ever excited'the riding. Gm Machine (nle. S. Pollock. Cirde.

To urge it upon the electors, as affecting. ofhcir liberty of ‘ ohdicé, is the most absurd and unauthor-i izcd dictation. Such- an agreement, if it 'has' Larry.‘ significance, _ simply shows. what a strong undercurrent of suspicion flogved under the surface of apparent mutualconfidence.’ If, as was‘declared, the fires of party spirit were quenched in the compact then entered into, why such an: anxiety to preserve the relative strength of factions which the attitude oFtheir leaders had reconciled or dis- armcd? Why, but because there was sufficient faith (and how could there be in either colleagues or object, and a‘i'éi‘uge' 'must be prepared against the final‘-' disruption, Moreover, such an agreement as abovca referred to could bind none but the“ contracting parties ‘who were privy to vitf That the mutual engagements of politicians should" bind constituencies is a doctrine 'unheard of, and if the present powers that be ima- gine that it will be entertained for a moment, they sadly mistake thcilspi'rit and temper of both parties.

Important diplomatic qorrezpondcnce be- tween Mir, A’d'am’s, the Am‘erican mimster, and Earl Russel, is published in the London gazette of the 11th inst. The correspondence begins with a letter from Ministef Adams, dated the 7th April last, in which he calls the attentlon of Earl Russel to the official reports respecting the ravages of the Shenandoah, and announces that for the'damhges caused by such cruisers his governmhm cannpf» moi'd‘ entalliug the responsibl‘l‘ity'upon Great Britann- News by the Hibernian.

He sayS‘th-«gfi the duties of G‘remI B'ritan to wards the” Unit'e‘d Statesare not mens'nred by the losses which the commerce of the latter may have sushined. The question is simply whether the Queen‘s government have faith- fully and‘ h'onoralfdy p‘reformé’d’ the duties \fifi'gh interl’iat‘ion‘ai la'w, amf th‘eir ow’n nim- ni‘c‘i‘pfl l'av'gimpusé‘d upon Ehemv The reply' 9? Mr. Adamfi to this is (fated) May 4th. He says thud; the insurgenm be- came beHi rerenfa‘ on t'Bé‘ oé’ea‘n sblely' by reason of tiie flailities furnished in Her Ma.- jesty’s parts for them to do so. He com- plnins ofthe 'scCrct sympathy of Her Majes ty’s oflicers in thepm-t ofLivcrpo 0!, and con tends that after the information which be supplied respecting the Alabama, it was by the flagrantrnegligence of Her Majesty’s Board of Costoms that the vesse‘, admitted to be intended for war purposes, was sufi'ered to'depart from 'Liverpool. ‘ A'n-interval of three months elapsed beâ€" tween the above letter and Earl Reesell’s reply to it. In response Earl Russel pro- ceeds to justify the course of Her Majesty's government in recognizing the belligerents and reasons are given why there was extreme difficulty in giving orders to exclude from British ports vessels of aver partly fitted up in the United Kingdom. A very impor tant point is referred to in the letter. Earl Russel notices a. statement in a letter from Mr. Adams, in 1865, as to the government- of Washington being ready to refer their dis» petes to arbitrationr Earl Russell declines the oiler and says it is a question in the first place whether the Queen’s government have acted in good faith in maintaining their neutrality, and in the second place whether the law oificers of‘ the crown have correctly interpreted a British statue. Earl Russell eontinues :â€";-‘ The Queen’s government can refer neither of these questions to arbitra- tion.’ The words used‘ by him are as follows:â€"-‘ Her Majesty’s government are the sole guardians of their own honom IThey cannot admit they have acted with bad faith in maintaining the neutrality they professed. The law officers of the crown must be held tobe better'interpreters of a British statute than anylforeign government can bepresum- ed to be., Her Majesty’s government must therefore decline to make reparation and com: pensatt‘onfor captures made by the Alabama, or. to refer the question to anyfaret‘gn state. Her Majesty’s government conceive that if the, Werefto aet otherwise, they would on anger the position of neutrals in all future wars Her majority’s government are, how- ever, ready toveonsent to the appointment of a eommission,’ to which shall be referred all claims arising during the late civil war which the two powers shall agree to refer to the commissioners.’ AFTERNOON SITTING. of Septernher, and is very serious in its tone. Mr. Adams considers‘that there is now no dispute as to the fact, that the recognition of the states as belli erents‘ Was such an act as was never doneb one nation towards an- other in a state of amity} He charges the British government with having acted With- out knowledge, and upon mere presumption, in assuming that the evidence of the block- ade of the Southern ports was important; The blockade he says, was the consequent not the cause, of the British poliéy. He thinks that the only excuse for th) British government is that the United States conduct was precrpitate. Mr. Adams 3 pears to think that the proposal of Earl ussel to refer the questions in dispute to a commis- sion will be accepted by the United States government. The Dails News says that besides the mag- nitude of the questions affecting neutrals, the matters in dispute are closly connected with the maintainance of friendly relations be- tween England and America. v The Time's and the Post are silent on the correspondence.
