LATEST PHASE OP ENGLISH PUBLIC SENTI? MENT ON THE ALABAMA. CLAIMS. THE LONDON PRESS WAKES CT ATLAST. Highly Interesting Analyst? of th? Pres? ent State Of British Party Peeling. The important cable telegram to the New York Tribune foreshadowing a triple alliance of England, France and Spain, against the United States, seems ta be rather rightly treat? ed by the Northern press. The Tribune, itself, alluding to it editorially, BSVB : "The report looks so mach like the rumor likely to be bred even in official circles, by the passion' ate anger of which the beginnings are so graphically traced in the letter from our Lon? don correspondent, that there may be 3ome reason for deUying a fall belief in it." Th? Tribune correspondent, it must be remem? bered, is no mere sentimental scribbler, but a cook sagacious and experienced observer of the drift of Euglish politics and public opin? ion; and the letter above referred to throws mnch light upon the recent chance of feeling in England tocard? the United States, which probably led the way tb the triple alliance ne? gotiation, if such indeed has taken place. We reproduce the m Dre interesting portions of the letter in quest ion. An Ki pl os ton of Anger. [Correspondence . t the Ne* Turk Tribune.] LoaDON, April 30.-The response to Mr. Sumner** speech, dela; cd for three days, has j come at last with such an explodion of auger j as bas not been beard for ni .ny a month, lt bas stirred that kind ol rage which rises rn ? the breast of a man wbu fiuds hi m soif sadden- ? ly snmmoned to make a complete reparation ? for acta ot the guilt of whian ho is conscious, j but the consequences ot wbi<*? he had hoped t toescaae. In private, there is no limit to the , gross epithets bestowed on Mr. Snmuer. In f public ho is the object of a vind ct ive denuncia- > tion almost without limits. I shall not think j it worth while to pav much attention to the E attacks of journals which we have.long known as enemies. Indeed, they are comparatively j modi rate. The most vehement abuse cornea j now lrom some of our old friends. But they, ? too, must wait till I bave given an account of a , demonstration from another quarter. J Among all the replica elicited by Mr. Sam- j nei s speech, that of the Pall Man Qazette is c by tar the moat remarkable and most import- ( ant. It is, indeed, one ot the most re marka- i ble articles ever printed in any newspaper. I r have said m a former letter that there are e three daily journals m London so con-picuous ? for ability as to form a cass by themselves. c I hey are the Times, the Daily Nows and the I j] Pail Mail Qazette. It happens also that each a >? the three represe J ts a d'st me o class. Tue (| L'imes speaking for that great section which n aossesses acquired wealth-the P utocracy, as y nr. Gold win Smith baa named it; tho ?)ai.y Sews representing modern Liberalism, and the rall va 1 Gazette bjing distinctly the organ of '? he English Oligarchy, by which I mean the a uling class, composed mainly of wnat ia call- (j id the aristocracy, and tor th) most par. pos less ng pioocrty in land. It is me class rhich IB predom nant m ?ocio y as well as in ?oiitica, M ii,cu grv. s thc tone tu the cubs, and rom winch officers ot tho army Hud tbc avy re mostly recruited. Politic iUy, und tor on enieoce sake, it divides ilseil iuto Liberal and kmseivative. like that well-known Now Etig ind fami>y which invested, as Theodore Par? er said, ono son in cac J poi it cal party, Spite P t all political retomas, ?pite of the sfartlina rowth ot the nure pnrely comm.rcial cass, t is still tho lu lided aristocracy of Great Bri un which rules Great Britain, and it is this F reat power of wnich the Pall Mall Ga zo! tc, lore than any otber ono journal, is the repre- 8? entati ve. I explain ibid au some length be- . aupe I want to impress anon American read- u rs the importance ot the declaration whi ,-h it o as made on the Alabama quos ion. What is this d?claration ? In the first place be Pall Mall Gazette says, frankly, it ia glad he Bp 'ech das been made, and for two reasons : P lecause, first, it wdl bring borne to English- n nen what the American demand really ?mounts ti o-aud this demand is eatimated at ?500.000,000 0 moue; ; which seems to be tho only English B iray of estimating anything. It welcomes the e speech, secondly, because it will strengthen t he hands of the government in deebning to T aegotiate any further, it bas ht ld all along 1 that Lord Stanley and Lord clarendon ought to have made it clear to Mc lt? ve rd y John ?on "that In arguing the question of reoog aition he was simply wasting h's breath." Mr. Sumner bas now shown wbat will be the c ;onsequoncea of discussing tho question i af negotiation-a bill for five hundred mil- j lons aterhng damages. Menee, says the Ga? rotte, "either we must acknowledge that the 6 jivil war was as muob our work as the South's t .od meekly accept tbs consequences, or we c must abandon the hope of briuging the Ameri- ? san people into a more friendly attitude toward his country. As even the extremest Northern 11 lympathizer will hardly go tbe lengths de- v nanded by Mr. Sumner, we may hope that the a >pinion of Englishmen will be practically mammons in favor of the Latter course.r That 1 a, in so many words, the Gazette hopes all Englishmen will agree to*abandon the hope ot c wing friends witb America. The can be but ene logical conclusion to inch a premise, and the Pa ll Mail Gazette does 8 lot shrink from drawing it. Tbe pith and t aurpose of its whole article, and of wbat is to j >e henceforth its policy, are condensed into >ne cogent statement: a .The paramount considerations wbiob should c govern the present policy of this country to- e -ard the United States, are the fruitlessness it further negotiations, and tbe necessity of >eiug prepared tor war." ^ It *ottid be a total mistake to suppose that i his is said hastily, or is the effect of irritation >n reading Mr. Sumner's speech. 1 think it beyond doubt that tbo very able md remarkably sagacious conductors of this ournal long since resolved on this policy, and aavo waited Only tor a suitable occasion to de slaie it. Mr. Sumner's speech furnishes the accasion. By this declaration the Pall Mall e J a zet te has put itsef at tbe head ot a move- ? nant destined, 1 believe, to go tar and do , much before its end is reached. This is, m Fact, the revival of that old party which longed T for the destruction of the Republic by the rc- t aol li on. Had the Pall Mall Gazette boen in ? existence al that time, it would have been the rival of the Times for the leadership of that party. Now, by a single article, it has achieved the distinction which then it might have e struggled for in vain. It takes the lead of thc strong, resolute and clear-sighted party which 1 wants a war with America. The reasons why such a party should exist ire numerous, and, to an English mind, ot croat weight. Commerce aud letters have, in T those days, so turned the minds ot mea away r [rom strife, that the majority ot this, as of other civilized nations, is clearly opposed to % war for its Jwn sake. But there in always a powerful minority wb ch fi'ida itself ab.e to re? gard war as a thing desirable for ita own sake. A staudiog army is such a manifc st nuisance that it c nnot but be impatient for an opp r tunity to justify and protract ita existence. The anny wauts a war, thereforo, and the navy as well. The officers o? hath t PI vices belong to the ruling aristocracy, and iu?uenco it strongly. The military tone is ul.va* s percept i- |J bio in society. Now. thc army has not dono my very brilliant things for a long time, a ,d it feels tho necessity of rostonng its < ld pres? tige. It must regain us lost ground, or ii can? not m ch longer be kept up as a nursery and is a convenient method of pensioning upon the public the younger members of the laud? awning ?'as3. Mr. Bright long ago describe J tho foreign policy of Elland- resulting as it lid in trcqtient v,r.rs, which nantie tho army seem a necessity-us "a gigantic system ol' out-door toliof for thu arislocr icy." Tuc sting of that tremendous sarcasm lay in its truthful? ness. Still stronger, perlinos, is th? seconJ reason: the desire ot the ruling class tor ?var a* % means ot postponing (he agitation of thc stu |uct-c!;iBsos tor reform and >ui a share ot politi? cal power. Tho numer?os iuroa ls already made upon their old monopoly nave filled with alarm, as they well may, tb J minds ot the real loaders of this ruling class, Xbev despair of resisting the tendency of tue ago and tho fore . af public opinion, if onlv ordin?r- obs acies san be interposed. Bat let a war break out above all, a war against tao Power which both std s regard as tho symbol und embodiment, of popular rights-and the case is imiueusely altered. So lou? as tbe war lasts, political agitation must stop. Tbe public mind can? not be turned in that direction, and if it contd, would be Blow to follow ibo lead of an enemy. So long as the war lasts, tho war will be the sole business ol Parliament, and tbe administrative and repressive power of government will bo.concentrated and aug? mented. The growth of what are called Ame? rican-that is, Democratic-?dias will be check? ed. Ti a war against America should be suc? cessful, they would be put back, no man knows bow long, just as they would have been had the rebellion succeeded in breaking up the Union. I always thought the aristocratic class of Great Britain logically rieht in BJ?I pathiziog with the South, and desiring the dis? solution of a republic which if> a standing men? ace to every oligarchy in tho world. From their poiut of view, they are equally right now in preferring a war to a policy of concession or conciliation. btron&est of all is the reason springing from the relation of England at this moment to the other European powers. She has sunk from the rank.of a ural rate to a seoondrate Tower BO tar. at least, as Commentai affairs are con? cerned. Bismarck, in his?pigrammic way, ut? tered no more toan a comm m opinion when, in reply to some English criticism on his policy, bo said, 'lt I were an Abyssinian, ora Hindoo, or eveo an American. ? mi^br, per? haps, care what England thinks. But being a European, i do not." A year or two since Matthew Arnold was bitterly reviled for telling bis countrymen the same humiliating truth, in language scarcely less concise and contempt? uous. The cannes of her inferiority aro mire than one. but luropo knows that if all other causes were removed Enqland dare not fight trullo the Alabama remains a precedont, ind loa vt s her com morco a prey to privateers ieeuiatr from nenira) ports. Sew a power that docs not fight is no longera pow r. She muy still bo summoned JO European Congresses -so is Turkey. Har envoys may be listened to with an aff 'ctation of respect-so was the envoy of Urocce. But ?he moment will come when each country of Ensope bas to support its counsel wit i the .woid. France will throw hers into one scale, Prussia hors into another, and on one side or -bo other Russia will fliug burs, and probably austria hers, and eveu Italy hers. But Ene and I Eugiand knows, and Europe knows, hat m that supreme moment the power whioh ?aedto subsidize one-half the continent and lebt the other, must abandon the place whioh ihe has ceased to be able to maintain by force, ihe must renounce ber political authority and ?helter herself behind an impotent neutrality. There are men in both parties. Ike Mr. Bright aid Lord Stanley, who look forward con tent ed y to such au hour, but the mass of Englishmen lo not. The ruling oligarchy bas here the sup-, iori of an undoubted majority. They do not rant to resumo tbe old system of perpetual uter.erence, but they want to be free to do? lare war wbou interest or honor bid them, "oneci?os that they aro fettered by the unset led claim ot America, yet resolute not to nake reparation, they seem to have determin d on the only other cours* which can restore o England unchecked freedom of act to.1. They iropose to tight Amortci first m order to be at iberty to fight somebody oise ali or ward. They re not less anxious to be rid of tho A la buna ifficulty in order to deal with the Fenian lovement, but on that I need not dwell. Whatever may be thought of the probable re? ut t of such a policy, it is at least intelligible nd coherent, and thu existence ot such a party fiords a sufficient explunajiou of the attitude ssum xl by such a lournal as tho Pall Mall lazette. Wo aro indeb:oJ to thal j mrnal for nnouncing publicly tho purp iso wu ich has )ng been brooded ovor in pi 1 vate. It is a fair arning, which wo canuot off jrl to n gleet or uderrdte. (J. Y7. S.

Tbe accounts that reach us from the interior of the State, with regard to the condition of the upland cotton crop, are generally of a dis? couraging character, The sea island crop seems to have sustained much less injury, and in most cases the planters report a fair stand. Tho Chester Reporter says : The effects of the cold and frosts of last week have proved to be much moro disastrous than we first apprehended. The stand of cot? ton cn a great many plantations has been en? tirely destroved, and the planters are plough? ing up and planting over again. The difficulty about this course, though, is the scarcity of Heed. We have been informed of several men, who plant largely, that nave been riding sever? al days through the country on the hunt for seed to replaut their crops with, but thus far without success. It migat well be asked if this is a real or seeming disaster. If ootton seed cannot be procured, and the lands pre? pared for cotton are planted in eora, this, whicb wo now regard as a streak of bad luck, will, before twelve months, be regarded as a. blessing in disguise. Cotton, our hoisted strength, will prove in thc future, as it has in the past, to bo the greatr element of our weak? ness. The York ville Enquirer tells us: The frost of last week did more damage than ivas at fl rs i expected, though its effects, so far is we.have learned, were confined to cotton. :\ great deal of too cotton whioh had come up vas killed. In some places it was merely chinned out to a moderate stan J. but in moat :ases, we fear, so tunah was killed as to re? luire planting again. This is a serious mis* ortuue. as seed ts unusually scarce this sea ion. Fortunately, theie was comparvively a iraall portion of the vron* np al the time of the Vost (the 8J instant,) and what has since come ip is looking well. There was, however, mother frost on tbe morning of Saturday last, vhich may finish the business,. A correspondent in Camden writes us the bli ) wing: The stands of ootton are not good, the cold feather having de-troyeJ the tender plants to i considerable extent, feed to replant is scarce. Che weather is still cool and unfavorable for he seasou. NORTH CAROLINA. Th? Tarboro' IS. 0.) Southetnor says: Mournful accounts reach us from the coun ry in regard to tbe great damage done to tho ot ton crop by the late cold weather. A large >rop >rtion of the coito i already up has been ailed, and it is seriously teared that the seed n the ground bas been so injured as to bo ut? eri y worthless. Though not too late to re? liant, yet most of our farmers are unprovided nth seed. Assiduous efforts are being ra ide o obtain a supply from other sections, but, we earn, with indifferent success, as most of the eed has been used in planting and for com losting. A number of farmers are already mgaged in ploughing up and planting corn. g, FLORIDA. The Ocala (Fla.) Banner of the 8th instant, .Hading to t he appearance of the caterpillar n that State, says : We gave but little credence to the repoit at Irst, thinking it m 'rely a rase to raise the ince of colton, windi had fallon from e'gbty outs to forty cents ?cr pound. But tho state aents of reliable gentlemen who had seen the m mal himself, and tho injury lie is inflicting, ilaco tho truth of tho matter boyonda doubt, ibo pl|guc is really upon us, and in such lower and forco ss tu leave but little prospect head of a good crop ot the staple, ii seems bat we have taken a lease of this insect, aud bat he is disposed to bide by the forms nom i lated iu thu bond, aud will not abate a jot or ittlc of his power. GEORGIA. The DltlulllItl^u (Ovu.) Aiguo oaja i The growing crops in this section, thus far, iave mut willi no serious injury from any ourco, if wo except too great haste in pattiug he cotton Beod into the ground, in apprehen ion ot tho caterpillar, which last season de? frayed all the Lue cotton. On account of the old spells of weather last month, some com ilain that their cotton has failed to como up ?ocularly, causing a poor stand. But, all hings considered, cotton is doing well, espe nally in tho uplands. A letter to tho Macon Journal and Messen? ger, from Sumter County, Georgia, says: The impi e-Bi,)D that our people are planting di cotton and but little corn, is a mistake. I iave never bolore seen the crops more equally livided. Half corn and half cotton is nearly ?very mao's motto. Should the season be 'avcrable, corn will be lower than it has been 'or ten years, lt is generally manured, and /he stand never botter. It is yet too early to ia" much about cotton. Planting will be gene? rally finished next week. There will not be my more land in cotton in Southwestern Goor? da this year than there waa last year. ALABAMA. We gather the following items from our Ala? bama exchanges : The Wiloox Tindicator says: Cotton cannot be replanted now with assur? ance of a successful crop, for if late, the worm ind tho cold will cut it abort. Many of our planters have hundreds of acres under water, ind by the ?me the water rocodea and their lands are in a condition to replant, it will be too Late for cotton, t he late spring, this un? expected freshet, the difficulty of labor, all combine and conspire to maka our planters gloomy. The Chester Herald says: It is almost a general complaint among tho planters that their cotton rs dying out as fast ta it comes up. Sovoral who a few days ago bad a good Bland of cotton, now say that they bave not one-fourth of a stand. The Hayneville Examiner says: The crop prospects in Lowndes are as bad as they could be. The rains of last week deluged as tor fivo days, washing the newly ploughed mound in a chocking way wherever the land is at all rolling. Much of the lowlands will ot be io a condition for work for several days j et, and even the highest is thoroughly soaked, [t has caused a wei k of idleness at a very criti? cal time. It will give the grass a start along with tho cotton. The Monroo Eagle says : Some of our farmers have abandoned the low? lauds and taken to the uplands. We fear the scarcity of colton seed will prevent much land from being replanted in cotton. LOUISIANA. The Monroe (La.) Intelligencer of the 5th jaye : From what wo hear of planters, the crops of Born and cotton have severely suffered from the continued rains. Ibo stands of corn and cotton ire but poor, and the laina have caused tho ?rass io spring up very fast, and now many of our planters, being short of hands, are expe? riencia/ considerable difficulty in chopping out the grass.

It certainly is worthy of trial by any person so afflicted. Very respectfully, yours, Ao., THOMAS H. GORE. Dear Sir: This is to certify that I have been afflict? ed with Rheumatism for the pant Uve or six years, many time-, unable to move. I tried all medicines recommended to me for the diseaso, without receiv? ing any benefit. Having heard "Bosadalis" highly spoken of, I procured a bottle, and finding some re* lief continued it until I am bappy to say that 1 am completely well. I not only consider the "Rondalla" a sovereign remedy for Rheumatism, but I believe 1: also a pre? ventive, and I cheerfully recommend it to the "af? flict eil." Yours, very truly, JAMES WEBB.
