AMERICAN NEWS. New Your, April 13.â€"The Herald’s spe- cial saysâ€"“ It is well known that the Cabinet is not a unit on the question ()fCuban recog- nition. A meeting was held last Friday on it, and the views of each nieml er, except Rawling’s were learned. Secretary Fish ex- pressed very Conservmive views. IIe sym- pathizes with the Cubans as much as any man could, but deprecated any official pro nunciamento by the Administration. On either side, he believes Cuba’s destiny was annexation. Spain wou'ld the in resisting: the mandates of fate. But if the United} States interferes, then Spain will not only exhaust her own resources to prevent our acquisition of the island, but will draw assis- tance from England and France, and we will have to combat a combination of the most owerful military and naval forces of Europe. EVE: need peace now, .not. war. These. are the Secretary’s views. Grant has great con- fidence in his Secretary of State, and though his private views may not coincide with Mr. Fish’s, yet it is feared the foreign policy of the Government will be shaped in accordance with them. Other members are directly op‘ posed to Mr. Fish, and believe in a prompt and vigorous action, urging the President to proclaim a bold and manly pclicy in regard to Cuba. Gen. Sickles has declined the Mexican 'mission, and will be sent to Spain. WASHINGTON, April 13.-â€"Thc only speech made in the Senate today on the Johnson- Clarendon Treaty, for the settlement of claims. was by Mr. Stunner, and occrrpicd nearly two'hours in deliier-y. Mr. Sumner took the ground that instead of removingr any existing grievances, it left nothing but heart- burning. and therefore could not be COVZSKI- cred a settlement of the pending questions between the two nations. It offered no sein- blance of compensation, and it could not be for the interests of cit her party that the treaty should be ratified. Examiningit from begin- ning to end. he showed it was merely for the the settlement ofindividual claims on both sides, so that the sufferers by the miscon~ duct of England may counter-balance by the British blockidc runners. The case against England was elaborately stated, including: O the British proclamation of neutrality, and [ permitting the building and equippin of pri- vateers in British ports, which had the effect of prolongingr the war for two years. British ships and British supplies did their work; but eventually it failed in the purpose, and the rebellion succumbed. He spoke of the extent of our losses, not. only by the destruc- tiOn of our ships, which was coniruiratiyely small, but in the destruction ol Aurcriran carrying trade; the falling off in our exports and imports, with due allowance for abnor- mal currency. and the diversion of war, all TRAGIG OCCURENGE IN TORONTO.

To the industrious immigrant, either with or Wlillflllf. capital, it is desirable that every possible encouragement should be afforded, and in a way that will not lessen the feeling of honorable independence on the part of the recipient. I In this view, the greatest benefit which can be conferred upon industrious immigrants is to providtxthem Trith work at fair ra es ofremunerntion. It Is , ' ‘ Munici» pal authorities can render essential aid, the latter by furnishing information as to where and to what extent. labor is required ; the for- mer, by importing tltatinformation to immi _rrants on their arrival, and ifticed be, by as- sistingjr them to reach those sections where the demand for labor exists. “I shall be glad if you will, after consul- tation with the Council of your Municipality, and with such other persons as you may deem necessary, fill up the annexed blank Schedule, witli'rlie numbers of the different classes of laborers and servants fov'twhom employment can be found, and 1‘( turn the same to this Department at as early :1. day as possible. “ The returns, when received, will be duly registered, and immigrants on their arrival will be distributed to the different parts of the Province, in accordance with the requi- sition of the local authorities. “ It believed that in this way, by a hearty cooperation between the Government and the various Municipal Councils, and in connection with efforts which the Govern ment is 110w making for diffusing in the old world information in relation to this Pro- vince, a large number of emigrants can be induced to come here, and can be supplied with work immediately on their arrival, and thus be prompted to remain as permanent settlers iti the Country. “Invoking your hearty and earnest assis- tance in this effort to promote the prosperity of the Province of Ontario I am.

The case, Chapman vs. Chapman was brought up before Jrro. Lane and A, Law, Justices of the Peace. It appearstliat, last November, a dispute arose concerning the ownership ofa pig, which was then on the premises of the prosecutor, but. was claimed by the defendant. The pig, how-1 ever, remained in the possession of the prosecutor until about the 6th inst., when a son of the defendant, seeing the pig on the road, caused it to be driven into the defend- ant’s yard, upon which the prosecutor ap- plied for and obtained a search warrant, which resulted, of course, in finding the pig, the defendant was by no means willing to resign his right to the pot-kerâ€"hence the inquiry. The inhabitants of Sleepy Hollow, roused from their semivsomnolesceuce, flock- ed tc hear the evidence, the hearing of which occupied Monday and Tuesday afternoons. The auditors enjoyed the very delectable treat of hearing the prosecutor and defend- ant designate one another by the appelation of thief, liar, pctjured. the, which tended as much to the gratification of those who in- dulged in them as to the cdification of those who listened. The matter was finally left to the adjudication of the County Attorney.

I paid a a visit to your Schools in this village, for myself-complacency as an old “College Boy” expecting to‘dcrive a little amusement from the pupils of the Grammar School, in their attempts to decline a noun or conjugate a verb. But my complacency suddenly vanish- ed, upon finding the school contained pupils who, not only could read Homer and Virgil, but translate mu; rapiditymid-Qase.~Thiidg in; that they must have Spout at least three years in acquiring such proficiency, I was amazed upon learning that only two years ago they were in ignorance of the first. letter of the Greek alphabet. In fact, upon a further examination of classes in Grammar, Latin, Greek and English, _I was reluctantly compelled to acknowledge that the pupils of the Richmond Hill Grammar School are actually a year in advance of the Upper Canada College. Brit, Mr. Editor, in making this acknowledgement I do riot loose sight. of the fact that the R. H. G. S. is fortunate in possessing a preceptor who would do credit to any educational institution in this country. It is probably owing to the fact that lie is an ex pupil ofthe Upper Canada College, that the students of the It. H. G .8 may ascribe their proficiency. After leaving the Grammar School, I stepped into the Common School; and, afterlisteuing to the examinations of the different classes in the English Branches, I retired with a. firm corr- viction that the future generation of Rich- mond Hill are destined to make a noise in the world. If they do not, the fault will not lie with theirenergetic master, Mr. Gray. After listening to the ponderous subjects in the Grammar. and the brilliant and sharp answers in the Common School, I paid a visit to the “Babies.” These bright little children were presided over bya young lady, I can’t flatter, Mr. Editor, but, I found my- selfwishing “ Oh, that I were a little boy again,” attending the junior department of the R.
