at the Government could not give any further information pending negotiations now in progress. The Duke of Newcastle, in reply to Lord Derby, said the Legislature of British Guiana had been instructed to consider the bill sanctioning the extradition of prisoners escaping from the French colony of Cayenne, but political offenders were to be carefully excluded from the operation of the measure. In the House of Commons on the 7th an interesting debate took place on Italian affairs. Edwin James, Sir Robt. Peel, Gladstone, and Lord John Russell, defended the policy of England, the King of Sardinia and Garibaldi, while several Irish members took the opposite side, and Mr. Roebuck made a pro-Austrian speech. The Parliamentary Committee on the Red Sea Telegraph have agreed to confirm the unconditional guarantee of the Government. The London Times, in reviewing Jefferson Davis' inaugural speech, says it has never read a public document so difficult to analyze and interpret.

From Europe. From a summary of late European news, we select the following: Mr. Edwin James, the celebrated English lawyer, had left London suddenly, it was said, for a perpetual residence in the United States. The Duke of Newcastle stated in the House of Lords that the British Government had not received any information as to the operation of the Morrill tariff on goods shipped from England to Portland for Canada. Mm. Mires and Solar, the Paris bankers, had been sentenced to five year's imprisonment and a fine of three thousand franc each. Count Simon was adjudged as liable for the deposits made in the concern known as the Caisse des Chemins d' Fer. The Sultan had inaugurated for Turkey a most wonderful reform, having abolished the harem completely, he having had always only one wife, as in Christian nations. He also ordered that the jewels and valuables of the late Sultan be sold, in order to raise a fund for the payment of his personal liabilities.

The names of these gentlemen are no secret, but I withhold them until something more definite has been ascertained. Scandals at the English bar — case of Mr. Edwin James.[from the London Globe.] The announcement made to day that one of the most prominent members of the English bar has been expected from his profession, wilr of each of the institutions. One of these cases is still undecided, and upon it we shall, therefore, make no remark. The other terminated last night, when Mr. Edwin James ceased to be a member of the bar of England. The grounds of the decision have not been made public, and are hardly a fair subject for newspaper comment, but is not wholly unnecessary. It is not a satisfactory thing to have to say, but it is no more than the truth, that there are members of the proportion of which Mr. Edwin James has just joined to be a member, upon whom an example in the way of severe punishment is likely to have more effect in the regulation of their professional con

urtesies of War. On one occasion an attache to the army, (in the Spanish peninsular,) of no defined rank was taken, and when questioned by the enemy is to his position in the army, with reference to a more general exchange than usual, put so high a value on himself that Lord Wellington would not confirm it, and he suffered continued imprisonment in consequence. Several private gentlemen came out to the army, during short periods of excitement, as pleasure excursionists, such as Mr. Edwin James was some time ago with Garibaldi.--One of them was made prisoner in some affair, and being questioned as to his position as he bore no uniform, declared himself to be an amateur! The French General turned up his eyes, and said that he had heard of amateurs in painting, amateurs in music, &c., but he never heard before of an amateur in war. The British had greatly the advantage of the French in the position of prisoners, so many of them found means of escape by connivance of the na

With many other people having a talent for dawdling, I followed the current this morning to the Supreme Court, (Judge Barnard presiding,) where the celebrated Mr. Edwin James and several of our prominent lawyers were pitted against each other in the big Hackley (street-cleaning) contract case. It seems that a person named Lewis Daourths, is now sought to be recovered by process at law, to the great detestation of the profession and disgust of those who must perforce remunerate the piper. Mr. James represents Mr. Davis, and the case, being full of uncertainties and all sorts of involvements, affords ample scope for the exercise of those peculiar qualities w and practice, who is determined to how his way to the front of the profession. In cases involving large interests, destined to prolonged and bitter litigation, Mr. James is sure to be frequently retained. The avoirdupois of his head has already kicked the beam of many a professional noddle hitherto counted first- class. I h

He had not joined any political institution or party. With all his instincts of freedom he could not approve of the policy of the abolition party, who so constantly embarrassed the Government with the question of slavery; he could not agree that the hour of their country's difficulty was their opportunity.

He said: The two great questiotelegraph, and without authority — it was things like these that destroyed every notion which a European had of liberty in the United States.
