It is therefore with the statements contained in Mr. Patterson‘s work connecte | with the trade year 1845 up to 18%69.

The King of Hollind, as most of our readers will remem!r, is Grand Duke of Luxemburg. Until four years ago he was a member of the late Germanic Confederaâ€" tion, and the fortresses of the Grand Duchy were garrisoned by Prussian solâ€" diers, Aftâ€"r the battle of Sudowa, Naâ€" poleon offered to purchase the Duchy from the King, to which proposition the latter rewlily agreed. Prus«ia howevrer perempâ€" tortally objected, and at the cunference in London in 1867 it was agreed in order to prevent the war between France and Prussia which then appeared to be immiâ€" nent, that the ©Grand â€" Duchy of Luxemburg should be neutralâ€" ized, the fortilications â€" dismantled, THE ANNEXATUN OF LUXEMUVBURG its possession still being vested in the house of N:ssau. Now Prussi. charges the Government of the Grand Duchy with having refused to allow <the Prussiin wounded to pass through the territory of Luxembourg, with having permitted the revictualling of Thionville, and taking adâ€" vantage of these chiarges as an excuse, is determined upon occupying and annexing the country. The inhabitants of the Grand Duchy are violently opposed to becoming the subjects of the Prussian autocrat, but in these days of strange and sudden chinges when in the words of the old Border freebooter, "they shall take who have the power, and those shall keep who The Hamilton Spectator announces a reâ€" sent decision in the Court of ‘*Queen‘s sench, Toronto, of some interest to sports nen. It seems that, for some tithe past, the local Fishery Officer has been subjecte to petty and vexratious prosecutions brought by parties whose fishing gear he has seized ftor violations of the fishery laws. These suits are simply malicious ; and yet they appear to be instigated and supported by some professional persons who exercise an influence (cert iinly not for go~d) among the country magi«=tracy. The emvicted lishermen therefore fHaod no dA Nuulty in obtaining warrants and sumâ€" monses for all sorts of concocted offences against the Inspector. If heseizes a new while in actual use fagrantly riolating the tishery laws, he is produced by writs for stealing, search warrants, actions for damages, and such like. A country magâ€" wtrate could probably be made to issue a warrant for: executing the Inspector, if hard swearing and pertifogging chicanery could be found to justify it tor the nonce The Iatest ani most extraordinary process obtuned in this manner was a warrant of arrest for desecration of the Sabbsth â€" the Inspestor having *grapplel for" and faund a parcel ot nets set on Sunday in double violation of the fishery laws and the R:.bbath observance act of OUntario The Inspector was arrested, tried and tined, by a magisterial genius named Hopâ€" kins, J. P., of the county of Halton. Uf course the officer complained to his Deâ€" partment, and the Miuoister of Marine and Fisheries, desired Mr. Whitcher, when reâ€" centily in that neighborhood to inquire into the matter. The result hi been an appeal to the Ju lges at Toronto, who unhesititâ€" ingly quashed Mr. Solon HMopkins‘ viadic, tive proceedings. We fare informed that the Crown sancâ€" tous these appeals only in extrems» cases ; and as the county migistrates are subject can," their feeble remonstrance is not likely to be heard, or at all events to be regarded. None of the great powers are interested in the matter, unless indeed it be Austria, and Austrian journals deâ€" clure in plain and positive terms that no war will be entered upon by the people of that country save for the defence of their own frontier, unless assisted by the wealth and power f England. 8S> probâ€" ably King William and Bismarck, the two greit freebooters of the age, will be alâ€" lowed to work their will and tram.ple upon the rights and liberties ot the unfortunate people of Luxem‘urg without any inter farence from other powers.

N:w Yorr, Dec. 19.â€"The Tribuni‘s Washington _ correspondent telegraphs there are strong reasons from an authentic source for believing that an amicable ad. justment of our differences with England in connection with the (Alabama claims, will not be delayed for a much longer period. . GEN. SCHENCK TO RESUME XNEGoTiatio®s. ~â€"It is also believed that Gen. Schenck will soon, after his arrival in Englund, reâ€" sume the negotiations now suspended, and that they will be carried forward in a fair and friendly minner ;and that the English Government will meet the question in a ‘frnnk and fair manner. _ + The temper of the Britsh people is thought to be favorable at this time for the success of the undertaking. THE POINTs UPON WH CH NEGOCIATION3 ARE to BE MADE. The following are believed to be the points upon which negotistions will be The United States as a basis of settle ment will require, first, that England sh«l pay the owners for the ships and property dostroyed by the Alabama, with interest on the value of the same from the date of destruction. K aalgs o Seconi â€"That England shall re emburse the United States Government for all ex penses incurred by the United States, in consequence of the Alabama and oth«: cruisers. e en â€" Thiidâ€"That England shall make public recognition of the true principles of n. uâ€" trality on the basis of their settlement. _ It is thought thit the United States will not demand constructive damages in any event. Uthner sources of information from those alluded to above substantially conâ€" firm this statement of the subject. . Gen Schenck will make no extortionite deâ€" mands. He is not to thre«ten nor inter fere for the forcible anuexation of Canada, nor is he to demand a confession from Great Britain that she has acted dishonorâ€" ably towards the United States, a confes si m that no proud nation would m«ke unless conquered and reduced to extre mities. The e is goodf wuthority for stating tha. Gen. Scthen k is expected to dem«nd no hing more th «n a promp and equitable settiement of our actual money losses, and that there will be no talk of damages for inj ared honor in the diplomatic negotiaâ€" tions, which hke is to open and conduct I‘he reparations which he will be instruct ed to ask, it is believed, will be willingly «c orded by the English Government The ecroneous impression prevailing with reg ird to Gen. s&uwk'n mission places him in a false attitude at the outset, which i, is not pleasant for him to occupy.

There has not been much of interest before the House of Assembly during the last few days, the House meeting only for an hour or two in an afternoon, and not at all in the evening. The Opposition have given notice of motions on all conceirable subjects, and the time has been conâ€" sumed chiefly in puerile inquiries as to matters which it was well known would be giren to the public when the estimates were brought down, or as to which it was a very silly step, because he was every way eligible, and would have made an excellent member of convocation, whatâ€" ever he may be as a politician, but my humble opinion is there should be no politics in Osgooede Hall, and the danâ€" g; is that the â€" election of chers by the whole profession may be swayed by that element If it can be kept clear of it, it may work well ooou‘ï¬.
