By Telosrapli. From AVa-islington. WASHINGTON^ Oct. 2o.-The Wirz Mili? tary Commission has adjourned, and sub President. The result cannot with certainty be known until officially promulgated. Ex-Confederate Postmaster-Goncral J. H. Reagan has arrived here, on his wav to Texas. Thc Tunisean Embassy arrived to-night from Philadelphia. They are the guests of the Government. The subscription for thc fifty millions of five-twenties are no >v full-interest-bearing notes having bean received c:ul converted into this loan. Commodore Craven is soon to be tried before a Naval Court Martial in Washing? ton, for failing to tight the Confederate rata Stonewall in the harbor of Fayal, he being On board the steamship Niagara at the t;me tho Sacramento and another ship were lying in close proximity. Official information received here states that President Juarez was at El Paso, on the 2?th of September. As twenty days are required for communication between El Paso and the City of Mexico, the procla? mation of Maximilian, dated October 2, declaring that Juarez had abandoned his native laud, is discredited in diplomatic circles. Mr. Foote. NEW YOUK, October 20.-To-day, in the United States Court, before Judge Nelson, Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, the District At? torney, moved that Henry S. Foote, mem? ber of the late Confederate Congress, bc admitted te the bar as counsellor in the Supreme Court of the United States. The motion was granted, and Mr. Foote took the oath to support thc Constitution of the United States and the State of New York ; but after listening attentively to thc oath of allegiance, declared that his connection with thc late Confederacy rendered it im? possible for him to suberibc, and conse? quently he left the court house unsworn. Important from Europe. The Steamer Hibernian at New York, brings dates from England to thc 13th instant. DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE. Important dipolmaticcorrespondence be? tween Mr. Adams, the American Mildster, and Earl Russell, is published in the Lon? don Gazette of the llth inst. The correspondence begins with a letter from Munster Adams, dated the 7th of April last, in which he calls thc attention of Earl Bussell to the official reports re? specting the ravages of the Shenandoah, and announces that for the damages caused by such cruisers his Government cannot avoid entailing the responsibility upon Great Britain! The reply of Earl Russell is dated May 4. He says that the duties of Great Britain toward the United States are not measured by the losses which the commerce of the latter may have sustained. The question is simply whether the Queen's Government have faithfully and honestly performed the duties which international laws and their owa municipal laws imposed upon them. Thc reply of Mr. Adams is dated May 4. He says that the insurgents became belli? gerents on the ocean solelv by reason of the facality furnished in Her Majesty's ports for them to do so. He complains of the secret sympathy of Her Majesty's Officers in the port of Liverpool, ana contends that after the inf ormation which ho supplied re? specting tho Alabama, it was by the flagrant negligence of Her Majesty's Board of Customs that this vessel, admitted to be intended for war purposes, was suffered to depart from Liverpool. An interval of throe months elapsed be? tween the above letter and Earl Russel's reply to it. In response, Earl Russell proceeds to justify the course of Her Majesty's Govern? ment in recognizing the belbgerents, and reasons are given whv, in an extreme diffi? culty, orders to exclude from British ports vessels of war partly fitted up hi the United Kingdom were issued. A very important point is referred to in this letter. Earl Russell notices a statement in a letter from Mr. Adams, in 1863, as to tho GOA crnment of Washington being ready to refer these disputes to arbitration. Eorl Russell declines this offer, and says it '*e a question, in the first place, whether ti e Queen's Government have acted in good faith, in maintaining their neutrality, and in the second place, whether the law officers of the Crown, have correctly interpreted a British statute. Earl Russell c mt nncs : "The Queen's Governmet can refer neither of these questions to arbitration." The words usod by him are as foUows: "Her Majesty's Government are the ?ole guardians of their own honor. They can? not admit they had acted with bad faith in maintaining the neutrality they professed. The law officers of the Crown must be held to bc better interpreters of a British statute than any foreign government can bo pre? sumed to be. Her Majesty's Government must therefore decline to make reparation and compensation for captures made by the Alabama, or to refer the question to any foreign State. Her Majesty's Government conceive that if they were to act otherwise, they would endanger the position of neutrality in all future wars. Her Majesty's Government are, however, ready to content to the ap? pointment ol' a Commission to which shall bc referred all claims arising during the late civil war, which the two powers shall agree to refer to the Commissioners. 'Tho rei ly of Mr. Adams is dated the 18th of September, and is very serious in its tone. . Mi-- Adams considers that there is now no dispur' as to the fact that no recogni? tion of t'.o South as belligerents was such an ase as was never done by one nathu oward another in a state of amity. He larges the British Government with hav g acted without knowledge and upon . ire presumption in assuming that th< dence of thc blockade of the Southon ts was imperfect. The blockade, 1 J, was the consequence, not thocaus( british policy. thinks that thc only excuse forth? h Government is that its conduct wa. >itate. He then intimates that if tin ines and practices of the British Gov .n ut arc allowed to become rherule th itcd States will noi bc the greatest loser. the proposal of Earl Bussell to refer the questions in dispute to a commission will be accepted by the United States Govern? ment. The Times and the Vost are silent on tho corre sponde nee. Thc Daily Xeirs says : Beside the magni? tude of the questions affecting neutrals, the matters in dispute aro closely connected with thc maintenance of friendly relations between England and America. Thc Star, in reforenco to thc escape of | thc Alabama from England, remarks : There may iiorhaps be negligence without such gross culpability as to render us liable for all the d.unages which the escaped privateer perpetrated. But if our views on those questions should differ from those of the United States, and they should insist as peremptorily upon claims as wc upon our denial of responsibility, what then*" Are we to run the risk of rupture rather than consent to arbitration ? The Sfor awaits the instructions from the United States Government with much ap? prehension, and dares not say what eflect it will have upon the temper of England, nor what disastrous disturbance of the friendly relations between the twocountries may not result from a deliberate attempt to appraise the losses caused by Confederate cruisers upon England, end to exact pay? ment for them. AMERICAN S El ' I" RITTES. Satterthwaite's Circular of the evening of the 11th says : The unprecedented action of the Bank of England in advancing i: ? rate of discount three times during last week completely upset all markets in the Stock Exchange. American securities participated in the general depression. Five-twenties declined more than 1 \i cent., and were last quoted at 63|<?63jc. THE FENIANS. Arrests for Fenianism continued Ireland. Thirteen persons were committed for trial at Cork on thc 11th instant, and a number more had bee e. committed in Dubbn. It was reported that on" of the Fenians would become an informer, and reveal thc entire secrets of the organization. ENGLAND. Among the papers read at the Social Science Congress, at Sheffield, was ono by the Bev. Stella Martin, a colored represen? tative of the American Missionary Society, on the cotton question, in which bc con? tended that it would be better grown by free than slave laborers. He concluded by putting in an earnest plea for the negro race. FRANCE. The somi-ofiicial Berlin Juurnalsa.ya that the honorable and cordial reception given Count Bismarck by the Emperor Napoleon at Biarritz, and the observations of tho Emperor upon pending questions, are guar? antees for thc unaltered continuance of the friendly relations between France and Prus? sia. It has no doubt that the Emperor Napoleon has resolved to continue thc dis? interested policy Lo has hitherto pursued relative to the Duchies, etc. ROME. Thc official Giornale di Bomana an? nounces that it has authority to declare that the Pope, in his last allocution upon secret societies, as at all times, spoke from the promptings of his own conscience and with full independence. The Frehch Government prohibited the publication of the Pope's remarks relative to thc funeral of Marshal Maguan. FOREIGN ITEMS. The bond-holders of tho securities of tho Southern States, ou which interest and di? vidends are in arrears, have held a meet? ing and appointed a committee to look after their interests. It is proposed that the arrears bc funded. The total arrears are estimated at ?4,000,000 sterling, and the total debt ?27,000,000 sterling. The special American correspondence of I tho Baily Keirs reprssents President John? son as playing a Southern game, and as giving tho South far moro than they even hoped or asked for. The Minister of Police, at Warsaw, bas intimated that the siege of Poland will bc raised at the opening of the new year. Tho Journal de St. Petersburg draws a parallel between Ireland and Poland. The London Times emphatically denies the truth of the parallel, and points out that there is an essential difference in tho condition of the two countries. The Journal de St. Petersburg also con? gratulates the Washington Government on the rapid reconstruction of th<> Southern States, and points out that thc Kassian Government was always in favor of the maintenance of the Union.

A large number were licensed lo preach and exhort, and to visit the plantations and instruct the peojdc in the duties of lifo and their relations to the community. Rev. R. H. Cain was earnest in impressing the duties of the Ministers in visiting and administering to the wants of the flock over whom they might be called to exercise. The Conference was harmonious and im? pressive. He also stated to the Conference that the African M. E. Church and M. E. Church were on the best of terms; and that it should be our aim to cultivate the best feelings towards them and all classes of men. The African M. E. Church sought only the elevation of the people and weU-being of aU mankind. That tho M. E. Church South, Charleston, had granted them Trinity Church for their use, till they could finish their new building. Esope Smith was appointed to take charge of tho Church in this city, both Churches being merged into one. After recommendations relative to the Church building, a Committee was appoint? ed to seek for, and purchase, a lot of ground on which to build a Church Kdiiice for their worship.
