We are assured that tbo French authorities are on our side, and that the French police will nrevent outrages. We have, however, no ftich assurance from America. We do not believe that the American police would connive at the sending of infernal machines acrow the Atlantic, but an open crusade is preached in America against England, and funds are collected therefor, and the things which have been threatened have been done.

F., April 15.—A rumor prevails here that the Greely party have been rescued from a mass of floating ice by the crew of a whaling schooner. The United States consul however discredits the report.

P. J. Gallagher, ot tho Laborers' Union, presided, and after stating tho objoct of tho meeting introduced Lewis F. Post, who in the course of his remarks said that if the eight-hour bill passed the assembly it would have the effect of increasing the pay of the workingman. They must not stop with this meeting, but must keep on knocking until they obtain their rights. Bobert Blissert, of the tailors, said that the day was not far distant when they Would be able to call eight hours a legal day's labor. John Swinton said that the demonstration showed a healthy state of affaire,and that tho workingmen were at last working in unity for their just rights. He was certain that if they would only stand together they could get all the bills passed that they wanted. If the politicians of Albany did not do as they were Instructed by the working Classen, then, in his opinion, they should be boycotted when they came before them, again. After several other speeches bad been made resolutions wore adopted urging the passage of the eight-hour law and other bills now before the legislature, and asking for the endorsement of all parties for such bifls. "Oh, there is nothing of that nature in it. It is not in anywise intended as a boom starter. I have not quite made up my mind as to whether or not 1 shall attend.

If I had you would not see those men at work down there (pointing to the dock where the Bear is lying, with a gang of men preparing for the expedition).

London, April 15.—The British cabinet, it is certain, are not in sympathy with the feeble movement (originating with the house of lords) for restricting the importation of foreign cattle, on the flimsy assumption that such legislation is indispensable to prevent contagion—the real object being to give homo farmers a monopoly of the meat trade. The popular feeling on the subject is running very high, and deputation after deputation aro waiting upon the government to urge resistance to the action contemplated by the lords. These deputations represent abovt all classed of the public—members of parliament, corporations, trades unions, vestries, boards of guardians, the shipping and factory interests—and they present their rase with a cogency and clearnen that mnst make the supporters of the proposed amendments feel how sharply they are antagonizing public opinion. Lord Carlingford, in response to one of these deputations, assured them that the government were in full accord with the remonstrants. He thought their demands wore moderate and reasonable, and if the ropreeeiitatives of the agricultural interests were equally wise and moderate the present contest vould be avoided. "The government," he went on to say, "were determined »#Dt to submit to any l-eatricttaaB being placed on the food of the people, if they could avoid it, and they would resist the adoption of tho amendments in question by all the legitimate means in their power. They considered those amendments to be unnecessary for tho protection of the agricultural interest, and that they would,! if adopted, prove most mischievous to the interests ofthe consumers of meat."

Calhoun, 23 years of age, and Henry Tichenor, aged 21, which had a novel origin. It was not for the championship of either ward or world, but was the result of too much attention paid by Tichenor to Calhoun's wife. About 8 o'clock a number of men met in the rear of Qeoper's barrel factory, and half an hour later the contestants, both looking like athletes, sprang into the ring and took their positions. Bxoellent sparring followed, each blow telling visibly because of the hardness of the gloves. Calhoun started well, but soon lost his temper and delivered his blows at random* Three rounds were fought, and Calhoun was badly punished, having one eye closed and his face bleeding profusely from several cuts. Tichenor was not much damaged. Virtue would probably have triumphed as usual had not Calhoun lost self-control through his just anger.
