EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE,

By the arrival of the Steamers City of London,
Peruvian, and Scotia, at New York, we have
European news from the 19th te the 22ud April.

The fall of Richmond monopotized attention,

The Times thinks the loss of Richmond might
itself be, perhaps, sustained, but coupled withthe
defeat of Lee, it represents a veritable catas-
trophe. It is due to Grant that his military
abilities should be recognized. _ He did “ fight it
out on that line,” and the reward of fortitude is
his at last. The ‘Times also pays a tribute to
Sheridan aad to Lee, and, as regards the future,
it says time only can solve the problem. If the
South now proves powerless and desponding, the
work of the north will be easy. But if we have
now arrived at the end, not of war, but at the
first stage of a political revolution, the real
troubles of the North are but just beginning.

The Times of the 19th comments wholly on the
rejvicings in New York snd Washington over the
fall of Riehmond. It says:

“The Washington speeches are pitched ina
more moderate key than those of New York.
Statesinen caunot indulge in the ‘ Cambyses* vein,”
living as they do in terror of after explanations,

Mr. Seward, therefore, did not encourage the
New York suggestions of vengeance and war, He
adypted a lighter mode of treatment for the crisis
He very skilfully avoided the perils of a set
speech, and rather amused brs audience than
stirred them. Hos address served the purpose.
He could not let England escape altogether, but
he did not threaten her with extermination, or to

js seen and felt

Such opinion we always entertained, but we
wust record our surprise at the intimativa by the
Chief Ruler of the restored Union of an intention
of punishing, as degraded criminals, the men
whose courage and heroie qualities bave earned
for theip, and, to a very great extent, for the side
whieh they espoused, the sywpathy and good
wishes of those who could respect those qualities
in huwan nature that have always been con-
sidered as essential elements of national power
and dignity.

That the vindictive policy enunciated by Mr.

committee appointed to take into consideration
the proposal of Mr. 8. Barnard, reiative to the
extension of the lease of Queen's Wharf, pre-
sented a report recommending that a promise in
writing, under the seal of the City, be given to
the agent of the Boston Steambsat Company,
that the lease of said wharf be extended tor a
peripd of seven years, at the same rate of reut
as now paid, namely £200 currency, per annuin ;
and also that the alieration suggested by Mr.
Barnard be made in the rates of whartage. Said
report having beeu read by the Clerk, was
adupted.

Councillor Thee, Desbrisay, as Chairman of
the Committee appointed to take into consider-
ation the subject relating to the erection of a
new Market House, and the procuring a site
therefor, submiited a report to the effect that the
sutd Committee were of opinion that application
should be made to the Government for the grant
of the legislature in aid of the erection of a
Market House; and that a building be com-
menced on the site at the west end of Queen’s
Square, to be eventually added to, sud made to
answer the purpose of a Market House and a
Town Hall, and to be of sufficient ditnetisions to
afford accommodation for a Custos House and
Post Otfice—provided the Executive Government
will agree to rent the same for said purpose, for
a specific nuibber of years, The said report also
recommended that a by-law sboeld at once be
passed, fixing the tolls to be colleeted, on the
said Market House being erected ; it being under-

DEATH OF SIR SAMUEL CUNARD.

We announce with extreme regret the
death of Sir Samuel Cunard, whose name in
connection with the British und North Ame-
rican Royal Mail Steam Ship Company, es.
tablished between Liverpool and America, has
a world-wide reputation. Heexpired yester
day (28th April) at his residence, Bush Hill
House, Edmonton, Middlesex, in his seventy~
eighth year. The Hon. Baronet was born in
i7s7, and married in 1815 the daughter of a
gentleman named Duffs, of Halifax, Nova
Seotia. His eldest son, Edward, born in
1816, succeeds to the baronetey, and. though
his permanent residence is in New York, he
was present when his father breathed bis
last. The British Government, to mark their
appreciation of the great services which Sir
Semuel Cunard had rendered to the commerce
of the world, and more immediately to that
of England and America, conferred on him,
in 1859, the dignity of a Baronet—a dignity
won by his triamphs ina field of enterprise
in which the Company he assisted to establish
has distanced all competitors, and proved
itself at once the most successful, and the
best friend of civilization and progress, in
the whole history of navigating the ocean
by steam power. What Watts and Ark-
wright were to the spinning jenny, Sir
Samuel Cunard was to the murine engine.

The death of the Czarowiteh, just as he
had attained man’s estate and was cn the
point of being married, 1s a very melancholy
affair ; but he seems tu have heen deficient in
physical stamina from bis boyhood, and it
would be found, we suspect, if the subject
was pursued, that the severity of his studies
had not been instrumental in promoting his
health.

CONPEDERATION,
The local journals are still diseussing this ques-
tion. The Newfoundlander thus remarks :<

“The Resolation of the Assembly was passed
in good faith, and by it the decision of the project
}of Union is left to the free ebvice of the country.
/We do net see bow the Government could, if
they would, influence that decision in any way.
| They bave from the first held it an open question ;
| the most prominent members of the Government
|baving expressed streng opinions on beth sides,

without any disturbance ef their official relations.
So it will be still, as adverse views are yet enter-
jtained by members of the Executive, whieh,
| doubtless, they are severally at liberty to enfurce.
We have no doubt of the uitimate adoption of
| Confederation by the Provinee, but we deprecate
'precipitaney, for unquestionably while the public:
mind is imperfectly instructed, delay fer the pur-
pose of further information is the wise course.
| The successful operation of a measure like this
depends much on the feeling of the peuple being
ripe for its reception, aud those who weuld exhi-
| bit anxiety to urge it before the proper tine
}uust be wanting in that judgment which should
| belong to men to whom important trusts are
| confided for the public benefit.”
