Mr. Blake moved the issue of writs for Routh Wellington and the City of Ottawa, aud entered into an explanation of the Mivis terial policy. He contended that the Provincial Govern wente should take a position of DeytTaity in regard to the Dominton Government. There should be neither alliance nor hostility. Ontario should not interfere with Dominion affairs, nor with the affairs of any other Province, except when her Tights were infringed. The policy of the Administration was that there should be the utmost Parliamentary control over the public funds. To hand over such control to the Ex ecutive, would be the abandonment on lie pagt of the House of its most og functions. The Publi¢ Pro “vineial institutions khould be more under Parliamentary control, both in regard to construction and regulation. More stringent laws to secure the independence of Par liament would be introduced. A bill to secure extension of franchise would be brought down. A scheme to amend and combine Courts of law und oauity would be matured as soon as poseible. ‘The Adminietratfon would redouble its energy in the cause of immigration, chiefly to secure a large influx of agricultural laborers to meet the heavy demands exist ing throughout the province. The crown lauds would receive prompt attention, and efforts would be made to wind up land sales in that branch of the department. The timber policy would be Adopted 80 a8 to harmonize with the general interests of the country and of the lumber trade. The Government would camy out the obligations of the country in regard to ORinary railways, but submit to the House grants propose to be made to each gubject, The new Government had not yet full information on this point, vor iu regard to the Municipal loan fund and hein and the Government would not bring down, this session, a scheme for the disposition of the surplus, He did not think the difficul ties Jespeeting the award to be insuperable, anda com prehensive plan could soon be matured for assisting partly settled districts, and doing justice to the old coun try. He indignantly Xepudiated the idea that ‘‘logroli ing” would prevail in the Legislature if members were teiired to pase upon each railway or other grants, r. Blake went on to explain the formation of his ministry, and defended the appointment of Mr. Scott to the Commissionership of the Crown Lands. He had with extreme reluctance accepted the onerous task of formiux the administration to carry out the)principles in JoWer which he had enunciated. He concluded by awk ng the support of his friends, only, however, when he Wits 1D accordance with their views, Btu It has been recently proposed in Birmingham, to erect a memorial to the late Dr. Priestly, the eminent Unitarian. The proposition having met with unanimous approval, a committee was appointed to consider the matter, Tlis committee has just presented a report by whieh it is proposed to erect a tablet to mark the site of Dr. Priestly ’s house, a statue at a cost of about $6,000, and to establish fueh prize fund, exhibition or scholarship as the funds may allow, The Sultan of Turkey has written the fol lowing letter, dated 224 of October, to Pope Pins IX: “Mgr. Alexander Franchi, who har been sent to our capital with an extaordinary mission, in order to mani fest and to communicate the sentiments of gincerity and affection which you are in the habit of showing toward ua, 18 about to go backwards (return to Rome). I have heen extremely ratistied with the expressions of affection nnd friendship which the above-mentioned has communi cated to me from your supreme dignity, as well as with your worthy letter which has been written to us in the matter. I declare that Ialwars desire the increase of vour friendship and the consolidation of mutually affec tionate relations, and it is for this purpose that our pres. eft letter has been written, which arrive, as it will, by the grace of God, we sincerely hope that yonr supreme dignity will have the grace to do generously everything that is necersary for our mutual affection.” The London Standard, a Tory ovgan, is making overtures to the Whigs, aud suggesting a com promise between them and the Copgervatives for the purpose of opposing the rudical tendencies of the pres ent House of Comwons, In a leading article of Dec. 9 it points out that the Whigs Jare no longer Liberals, but they follow Mr. Gladstone reluctantly, uneasily, per functorily, imply by force of halnt and from lack of courage to shake off the counection of a lifetime, A leagle, oy AP be found among them. The Hn the Whigs s obvious. They are at one with atives onal t points, and their difficulties coul at a #ip poryiev They are threat. oped Ly common foe are they to run the risk of being ng vy crushed because Hoey were formerly in arms ngainkt each other! The Whigs are called on for no sac rifice but that of Deron) apimority to one or ore of the Conservative leaders: if, rather than wake that sac rifice, they continue in obedience to Mr. Gladstone, in alliance with the Dilkes and Taylors, Rylands and Brad Jaugpe, they deserve the fate in store for them. Thege are the views of The Standard; but there is no great FoRatility that the Whigs will follow in the path that is thus pointed out to them. The Pall Mall Gazette of Dec. 9, speaking of Republicanism iu England, says: “Not only do we observe a lamentable divergence of opinion between Meesrs, Odger and Osborne, but they both again differ widely from the French Republican, and the American Republican is utterly unlike any Republican on the Cone tinent. For instance, what surprise and even disgust must be cansed at the Hole in the Wall, and in the neigh horhood of Lejcester-square, by the accounts given of the reception of the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia by the New-York Republicans.

Compare this with the grinding teeth and the clenched fist of the Parisian Red, or with the violent denunciations of royalty which proceed from the mouth of the English Republican, and the conutvast is bewildering to those who have nuagined in the simplicity of their hearta that there was an iden tty of thonght and feeling among Republicans—that they not only loved each other as brethren, hut that they entertalucd a Wwotherly hatred for ali the pomps and vanities of this wicked world, and especially for the rep rescntatives of royalty aud hinperviafism.” Jor Foren Coryespomdence See Third Pag: REPORT CF THE INVESTIGATING (OMMIITLL EXPOSUKE OF SHAKPERS, The report of George LE. Webster aud of I. Forster, Spec.al Azents of the Pension Office, exposes the operations of ring which has been engaged in dis honest transactions in Indian pensions and hounty lands, These Special Agents, under instructions trom the Secretary of the Interior, went to Fort Gibson, [dian Territory, where the books and papers of Alexander Clapperton, the late Pension Agent, had been seized by the commandant of the post. On examining these, it was discovered that Clapperton bad been employed by John W. Wright of Wa-hington as his agent in the prose cution of claims for pensions and bounty, and had re ceived stipulated compensation therefor. Papers in the cuser of claims on He in the offices of Pensions and Kecond Auditor, full of glaring regularities and fraudua lent statements, were sent to Clapperton for verification, and were, Inthe interest of Wright made to Ajpear regu lar and authentic, the seal aud indorsement of the Chero kee Nation having been forged and counterfeited, De clarations and affidavits in similar cases were forged, and fa'se eignatares of officiuls who eonld not write were thereto affixed, The nawes of persons who were pretended to ne SWOT ax WItDesker Were, in nimerous instances, entirely fictitious, and the names of other persons were uscd without thelr knowledge or consent. ‘The payment of peusiQue and bounties to Cherokee citizens who had! i in the war was #0 detained that the greater por. tion wax absorbed in advance by traders who sold goods for Clapperton aud Wright to the Indians, who were thus forced to anticipate the Peukipk of their just duce, Be fore the original bounty of Tudian claimants was allowed or applied for, their claims were hy pothecuted by trading thereupon at the stores of Ross, Gunther Co., and Ross Brothers Co. Notwithstanding hig knowledge of which, Wright, ar attorney, sanipd the applicants to swear, as required by law, that tliey bad in no manne sold, transferred, assigued, or in any way parted with their interest in said INHIY or any part thereof. At the same thoe it was stipulated between ssid merchants and Wright that he should have ten percent of the full amount by lim secured to them when such bounties should be paid. That on the failure of the firms above re ferred to the evidences of the indebtedness of these In dian clahmants were assigned to their creditors in St. Jouis as assets, und that thereupon sald creditors cu wed with Wright (through his sou), that for all of said Kidebtedness that should be to them paid through the fn guence of sald Wright, be should receive ten per cent, us had been previously agreed between him and the Gibson werchanty, Furthermore, it was found, on affidavits of the Indians themselves, that a large proportion of the clahmanis were defrauded of their back pay, and, though Wright's hooks show tht the dues had wen collected, few vouch ere for their payment to the lawful creditors appear.

Thé steamer (nba, due at this port since Tuenday, arrived yesterday morning, with Gen. Daniel E. Sickles and hia bride among the passengers. The ves sel was met at Quarantine by the Revenue cutter North erner, having on board a delegation of tho Third Army Corps and a few other personal friends of the General. A committee, consisting of Cols. B, T. Morgan and wil lard Bullard and Gen. McGregor, went on board the Cuba, extended a warm welcome to their old friend and commander, and invited him and hls wife to come to the city on the excursion steamer in advance of the Cuba. The invitation was accepted, and the short trip up the harbor was made the occasion of a jovial re union of old army comrades. The cutter landed the party at the foot of Christopher-st., and Gen. Sicklea and his wife took a carriage to the Brevoort House, which he will make his headquarters during his stay in this country, Many friends made complimentary calls on the General on learning of his arrival, Gen. Sickles has taken advantage of the adjournment of the Bpamsh Cortes; the breaking up of the old Min istry, and the establishment of a provisional one, to make a visit home, where he intends remaining for about two months. He has important official business to trans act with the Department of State, the nature of which cannot be known until made public by the Department. In conversation with a TRIBUNE reporter he expressed himn self quite freely on the relations oO iniuE tween this country and Spain. In a diplometie point of view, he sald these relations were never on a more satisfactory footing. At the same time questions are constantly arising, owing to _Indiscreet actions of the Kpavief officials in Cuba, which are calculated alsturb the existing harmony. Such has been the case during the past two years, but so far everything has been rettled amicably. The chief source of trouble is that the Spanish autborities cannot always control the acts of their oMeers in Cuba, There are, he says, really two rebellions in the island, one on the east against the Spanish Government, aud one in Havana agai ost the spanish authorities, This atate of things renders it im possible to tell what may arise at any moment to disturb the relations between the two countries, If the Liberal party in Spain, the most advanced partisans of the present dynasty, represented hy such men ue Zorrilla, Rivero, and Martos should come into power with the new Cortes soon to be elected, Gen, Siekles thinks the time will be wost favorable for permanently adjusting the vexatious questions now troubling the pg the two countries, This Jany derires to Ac op! a colonial policy in accordance with the views of the United States Government, and which will resuit in such a settlement of the Cuban question as will he satis fuetory to both countries and to Cuba. There is every probability that this purty will aneceed, bat the details of the line of policy which it will probably adopi itis im Fostitie to etate af present. No proposition looking to he Jairchase of Cuba has ever heen made by Gen. Sickles on the part of the United Btates, or suggested by the Sian Government, and the General 1s very contldent that no such DYoposio would be entertained for a moment. Gen. Bickles intends going te Washington on Tuesday, unless he receives other directions from the State Department, Upon completing Dis official busi ness, he rp x 10 spend the remainder of bis tie in this city and State, THT BINGHAMTON DOTHLEBOY'S HTALL.L The Committee employed in investigating the alleged cruelties counmitted at the Susquehanna Valley Home for Children, near Binghamton, N.Y, by Superintendent Van Epps, have made public their re port, censwing the Superintendent and the Board of Managers, Accordiug to the evidence given at the in vestigation, boys aud girls at the Home have been Ls i naked, taken into a damp and chilly cellar, called the bath-roow, and subjected to a cold bath, by being plunged into the water and baving it dashed over then from pails.
