(Concluded in our next) —_oooOoOoOoroOoO-—- Early in April, Lord Stratheden and Campbell put a rather unusual kind of in- iry to the Government. The visit of the rime Minister to Copenhagen bad, he said, been productive of much misunder- standing; it had estranged the Governments which British statesman should try to con- ciliate, and had advanced designs which they should endeavor to retard.. Among the latter he referred to the policy of Russia in Central Asia, which, in his opinion, had been encouraged by Mr. Giadstone’s action. The noble lord’s arguments were supported by a num- ber of extracts from foreign journals which he produced as evidence of the bad im- pression to which Mr. Gladstone’s tour had given rise. He eccurdingly moved for diplomatic correspondence ou the alleged renewal of the alliance between the three empires. After Lord Denman had proposed that Lord Stratheden and Campbell should postpone bis motion until Lord Tennyson, whe had ac- companied Mr. Gladstone, was in his place, Lord Granville replied at first somewhat jestingly, but concluded with the serions statement that Mr. Gladstone's visit to Copenhagen had no politieal object, and that there had been no communication, direct or indirect, between him and the Czar. He acknowledged that he had received confidential despatches on the subject, but he could not impart them to the House. A correspondent of the New York Times writing from Louisiana, draws a fearful picture of the wholesale demoralization of that Siate, occasioned by the legalized lottery system. He states that the mania has seized on all classes, high and low, rich and poor, male and female, white and black, Embezzlement has become so frequent as hardly to excite comment, married women in good positions gamble away the money entrusted to them by their husbands to buy hvusehold necessaries, workingmen starve their families tv throw away their earnings in the hope of obtain- ing a prize, childien rob their parents, and servants plunder their employers wherever ab Opportunity occurs. ae The Norwegian bark Venus, bound from Liverpool to Quebec, ran down, on the 19th ulc., the French bark Paqnebot, killing and drowning twelve mep, The Captain and x of the crew w saved and ianded at Gains Pierre by the
