THE RUMORED ALLIANCE FROM AN- OTHER STANDPOINT.

It ie well that public opinion in the United States is not wholly formed by the extrava- gant assertions of the New York Herald, and papers of a similar stripe. Were it not so the country would speedily be plunged iro diffi- culties of the wost embarressing and distress- ing character. The « Herald’ helieves that it is the mar test destiny of the Dominion, Cuba, and indeed the whole of the nativnalities and dependencies of the American Continent

dr , t Neth ard South to be absorbed into the i Union, and ws constantly urzing upon the Gov- ute erument to go in and take possession as the

speediest way of satisfying the new party ery, * Let us have peace.’ “That it is not so enay a matter to accomplish this result is clearly shown by the Journal of Commerce, and that paper in a fate issue gives the following reasons why the country should not lovk for the fulfilment of what these blatant papers call the ‘manifest destiny’ of the smaller and weaker peoples who have presumed to set up governments upon this continent and its ad jJacent isla: ds. It will be seen tuo that neither it the home troubles of Spain, the present state of affairs «1 Kurope by which Prance may be affected, nor the fear of losing her northern possessions by England, wouid be sufficient to cause these countries to look tamely on while their color al dependencies were being gobbled up by the rapacious Union. This is what the Journal af Commerce says about the spatter;

“London papers are reported to be com menting freely onthe critical relations between the United States and Spain, arising out of the supposed ¢-signs of this Government towarca Cabe. The Velegraph, which is suid to repre- sent the views of the Miristry, is of opinion that Eagla:d s interest would be best served by

Spain retauing possession of the island. The ys (a very Knowing paper) thinks thar Eng and iranee would declare war if the United States attempted to wrest Cubs from Spain.

“There are good reasons for supposing that the prefercuces of England are decidedly in favor of the retention of Cuba by Spain; and those reasons sre to be looked for on any map of the Wert Indies, where they will be found iu numerous spots of goud size in the neizhbor hood of Ouba.

HMartiax, May 17, 1869.

The Steamer City of Halifax, Capt Jemie- son, arrived here yesterday morning, from St John’s. Among the passengers were Hon FB. 'T. Carter, Attorney General; Hon John Kent, Receiver General ; Hon P. G, Tessier, M. L. C,, President of the Chamber of Com- merce: Hon. Nicholas Stab, M, L. C.; Hon. W. V. Whiteway, Speaker of the Assembly. The four first named gentlemen have been ap-

|pointed by the Government of Newfoundiand

delegates to proeved to Ottawa upon the sub- jeet of Confederation, ;

The Daily News of the 11th says “ We ob- serve notices have been issued for the hire of a steamer capable of takiog off to some port in Nova Sevtia, six hundred men, as workmen upon one of the sections of the Intercolonial Railway. The tenders are advertised for by Hon. A. Shea, with whom arrangements have been made by the authorities in Canada,’’

The Courier says:—His Excellency the Governor received @ telegram last week from Valencia, making the pleasing announcemert that it was the inteatjon of His Royal Highness Prince Arthur to pay His Excellency a visit during the ensying autumn,

The Harbor Grace Standard says :—News has reached here ef the loss of some twenty women at Twilljagate and neighborhood, and some men, who were drowned in attempting to land from tae ice on which they were in quest of seals,

A letter from King’s Cove, Bonavista Bay, reports the loss of seven men, caused by the great sea among the ice.

We much regret to record @ late most mel avcholy case of shipwreck on this coast, ac- companied with the loss of all hands on board. The brigantine Spray, owned by Messrs. Job Brothers, struck on Puflin’s Point, Torbay, on last Friday night, the weather being at the time very fogzy, aud the wind blowing a gale. The Sprey sud just arrived from Alicante, salt laden, and doubtless had overrun her course. It ix supposed she went down almost immediately after striking, but neither the Captain, a young Englishman named Furze, nor one of her crew of nine mer, has survived to tell ot her sad fate. Six of the crew be- longed to this place.

On Saturday the steamer Diamond went to the scene of the wreck, Mr. Rendell, of Messrs, Job. Brothers, going down to Torbay by land, The vessel was found to be a total wreck, her topmast head only over water.—Newfpund- lander,

The ery was taken up in the corridors and passed along to the strect where the peopie | ulso cheered. The jury and the prisoner's! council were congratulated on al! sides. After the Judzes had left the Bench a general ru-b was made for the dock and young Chaioner was almost suffocated with congratulatiore, which were warm and numerous The sheriff | and his officers made several attempts to clear the Court room, but without effect, and the people remained for nearly an hour before the excitement had subsided suflicieutly to restore januvthing like order,

The prisoner left the dock at last, in the company of the juilor, and forced his way throuzh the crowd to the private staircase down which he passed to the basement of the building, where he remained almost half an hour enjoying himself ata luncheon which had heen provided by his friends, The crowd outside itcreased every moment, and at this time numbered over 2000 persons, completely blocking up the yard and door through which Cluloner had to pass. On his appearance, accompanied by his father, the muliitude again took to cheering, and cheer after cheer suc- ceeded in rapid succession.

The prisoner looked remarkably well; his face waa slightly flushed, and a smile played about his lips, which gave evident proof of the gtatificetion he felt at the ovation. He re- turned the cheers ef the crowd by occasionally raising his hat and bowing to the people. A carriage was brought shortly after, into which he jumped and immediately drove off. Many persons here say that, even if manslaughter had been returned, they would not have cared about seeing Chaloner punished; but merely to shew others that crimes of this nature ean- not be committed with impunity gud go un- punished

Solicitor General Irvine’s management oi the case meets with general approval. He closed iu the following words: “ [ have no- thing more to say than that L hepe you will do your duty, We have been already disgraced hy this crime, commi ted in our midst ; but we trust to you to save us from the still further diszrace of its sunetion by a verdict deliber my rendered in a court of justice.”’

ather O'Keefe at Brigua on Monday night, but before leaving fur Tlarbor Grace next diy, he complained of indisposition. On teaching Harbor Grace, as we learn, he was seized with apoplexy, which in about twenty hours, and notwithstanding the constant vigil- ence of his medical men, put an end to his useful and holy life, te the great grief not only of his own priests and people, but cf those of the diocese.

When the melanchely intelligence reached town sorrow and consternation spread fur and near. The gloom cousequent upon @ great publie loss diaplayed itself in all directions. Business places closed, flags drooped halfmast as if by & common impulse, and the whole aspect around told of a new and sudden be- reavement which shocked the minds and bowed down the hearts of men of all grades,

His late Lordship Dr. Dalton was a native of Tipperary, and first arrived in this couviry in the spring of 1839. In the fall of the fol towing year he left for Rome to study for the priesthood, and there he remained for some eight ornine years at the Irish College, an example of piety and assiduous prosecution of those studies necessary for the Ecclesiastical state. Having been ordained priest, he re turned to Newfcundland in September 1849, and resided at Carbonear ag Curate of his un cle, the late Verv Rev Charles Dalton, until the spring of 1856. The Ieland was just at that time divided into two Dioceses, and Dr. Dalton’s qualities having proclaimed his fit ness for Episcopal jurisdiction, he received the mitre from the ha: ds of the late Dr. Mul- lock in the Cathedral of this town on the 25th May, 1856 His subsequent career has ad- mirably justified the choice then made ef him as chief pastor.—His administration of the affairs of his diocese was uniformly di ected by prudence and wise judgment; and not to speak of many minor memorials, the enlaryement and completion of the beaunful Cathedral of Harbor Grace will be ever a splendid illustra- tion of his apostolic zeal. Le was spared to witness the dedication of this great monument on the last feast of the Immaculate Concep tion, when Dr. Mallock attended ad preach- ed the appropriste sermon. {i is only five months ago. yet within as many weeks they have both been numbered with the dead!

To that ex:lted holiness which his calling demanded and which seemed part of his nature. Dr. Dalton united a singalarly clear intellect a large store of general learnin,, Firm to inflexibility in all that he believed right, he was nevertheless one of the most modest and retiring of hu:an beings. In friendly and social intercourse, his manners were gentle and gracef 1 in a remarkable degree; and while ever anxious to forget, and induce others to forget, to all allowable extent the elevation of his sacred office, there was still in hig ap pearance and in all about him an innate dig nity which could never fail to remind you of his true and just distinction. It is needless to add that he was beloved, as a man merited to be, by both priests and flock, and that by both will bitter, bitter tears be long mingled with fervent suppiications for his eternal re pose May he rest in peace,

THE ROYAL FAMILY.

A few weeks ago Her Majesty’s three eldest sons received ovatious in different parts of the worid. The Prince and Princess of Walcs were feted, as Christians never were before, in those ancient countries which recoznize the Sultan as their Suzerain. In Ezypt and in Turkey, all that the most lavish expenditure could accomplish to do honor to the heir- apparent of the British Crown, and his lovely consort, was tried, and with admirable effect In Australia the Duke of Edinburgh received the cordial weleome of the Queeu’s subjects iu the ar tipodes. In Ireland, Prinee Patrick —the Irish refuse to recognize him by any other name—won his way deep into the hearts of the people of Ireland by his good nature, hig affable manners, and his thorough good sense and right feeling. Wherever he appeared, whether at Maynooth, at Trinity College, a: Punchestown, in the heart of Tipperary, at Lismore, or in Killarney, be made himself a popular favorite and furnished an additional argument in favor of the expediency of more frequent intercourse between Royalty and Ire- land than has autherto been kept up. In the olden time this chariness of Royal visits to Ireland was intelligible. The travels ot George III from Loz.don never, we believe, extended further than Weymouth. His son aud successor visited [1+land, Scotland, and Hanover after his accession to the throre, and b's reception in Ireland was certainly well cal- culated to induce @ repetition of the visit, if he had had the heart to appreciate honest loyalty aud @ generous forgiveness. In later days the Queen and her consort, three of her sons, aud her cousin, the Duke of Cambridge, have visited Ireland, some of them more than ouce ; and upon every occasion the conduct of the people, even wheu smarting under w sense of acute wrong, bus been redolent of their Soile=warm, generoog, and enthusiastically cordial. We admit dh&t there is one obstacle to frequent ruyal sojourns in Ireland; there is no suitable residence for Royalty in Dubtin or its vicinity ; but this obstacle should be im- mediately removed by the Government in order to enable Her Majesty to speng among her Irish subjects as much of ber time, at jeagt,

8?AIN,.

Atmost the first idea suggested to thought- ful minds by the revolt of the Spanish Admiral and Generals last September was, that Spain would inevitably lose Cuba. The event has not yet ectually happened, but, we believe, that it is the merest question of time, and of time not far distant either. It would be an easy matter tor Spain to crush the insurrection of the Creoles, if the Colonists of the Spanish

Spain herself were not in open rebellion against the crown and dynasty, and jf aid and incentives to the revolt in the Antilles were not copiously supplied hy the United States. But the Revolutionary Government at home— if the chaotic tyranny there can be called a Government— has all these difficulties to con- tend with in Cuba, and Messrs. Serrano, Prim and Topete will find them immeasurably be- yond their strength to cope with, This fine colony is lost to Spain; nor can we wonder, when traitor generals and admirals have basely banished their generous benefactress and sub- verted the Throne, that the go-ahead Repub- heans on this side of the Atlantic should resolve to pluck from the empty crown its richest jewel. The long desired opportunity fur overt intervention in the affairs of the Antilles is now presented to the Americans, and they will not let it slip. We shall not be surprised to hear, in a very short time, that the fatal blow has been struck at Spanish authority in Cuba. And who is there to protest against it? Or whose proper protest, if made, would arrest the uplifted sword of General Grant, carrying out the Monroe doctrine and satisfying the desire of the citizens of the great Republic? The rebel authorities at Madrid have no moral or other right to protest against a coloma! rebel- lion against the‘r own usurped and revolution- ary rule; and the Powers of Europe will hardly fly in the face of the United States to uphold is Cuba the authority of the revolutionary regime at Madrid. It isa said that there is a serious split between Serrano and Prim. The latter cannot, it seems, be won over to the views of the Orleanist conspirators for the future Government of Spain. He does not see the good that would result to the Peninsula by casting off Isabeila to place her sister’s plotting husband upon the Throne. The Orleanist plot is thickening fast, however, and we fear that there will be a copious letting of bluod iu Spain before the fever which ie now raging there will abate, and before that once great country will again be bleesed with a regular

form of Government. 4 —>--¢ — —_-_—_—_

**AN OUTRAGE AT ROME.”

Such is the sensational heading of an article which we find copied into last Satur- duz's Patriot, from the columns of The Ad vance. When we first saw the article, ao headed, we thought that scmething really outrageous had transpired in the ‘Eternal

City ;” that the Garibaldians, or some other

ewjesaries Gf Muzaini or the Flurentine cabi- net, had been attempting some new outrage on the peaceful citizens of Rome. But, on reading the article referred to, as well as other articles on the eame subj-ct, it appears that the oudrage as nut committed agains, Rome, but committed by the Roman Police agaiost a certain lady citizen of the United States.

considerably when we flad that it consisted simply in this, viz: that a eertain Yankee pezzie-bead, Mis. Gould, wife of a certain Dr. Gouid, while visiting in Rume, was very politely summoned tefore the police authori ties, ty explain an alleged infraction of some regulation of the Roman Pyolics, That the Koman Police should be on the alert such a

counted by hundreds uf thouvands, is not to be wondered at; but no decent periodical would attempt to evnstrue tio simple dis charge of their duty on the part of tie police, into‘ an outrage.’’

As the New York Tablet of the 15th inst. has an aricle in reply to The Advance, on thie subject, we prefer giving our Ameri can ¢ ntemporary's opinion of the conduct of this strong-minded woman, to anything we ourselves gould have to say on the subject:

‘The Congregational Advance has been thrown into convulsions by @ revent horrible ouvage on an Aweric.a citizen at Romo. which it calls on President Grant to redress in the most summary manner President Grant, having preity much got through hie list of appointments to offices, and having made ample provision for his relations and his per- supal fri-nds, has probably leisure to attend to the call; but how be 1s to comply with the demands of the Advance to instruct the Ame- rican representative at Rome to Gemand an instant and humble apology for the outrage and ingult, we cannot very well see, since, owing to the outcry of the sectarian press, we have no American :epresentative at the Romen Court, :

“But we forget that we are all this time keeping our readers ignorant of the most ehocking outrage by the Roman Government on an American citizen. Indeed, we can hardly make out for ourselves in what the outrage Consis!s,or what was the insult offered 1s would seem however, that an American woman, & Mrs. Gould, wife of a Dr. Gould & physician, viaiting in Rome, was summoned very politely before the Roman Plies, to ex- plain an alleged infractio 1 of geome regulation of the Roman Pole, but of whieh, declarin herself not guilty, she was apeedily acquitted, on aisning the record of her denial. This is the horrible, the duimning outrage committed on an American citizen, the iney!t offered to the maj sty of the whole Amerivan people ! The abuse offered by the woman to the Roman officials tor doing their duty and which they seem to have dove with all possible delicacy , was a far greater insult to the Roman Goy- ernment than it can be pretended was offered to the American Republie.
