Commissioners, Lord Me, Evarts sscks to lnvalidate the award which isthe result uf this exhaustive investigation, on the grouad that in estimatiog the claims of Great Dritsin the Commissioners must be assumed to have taken into enneideration cireum- alisbury then says : stances which the Treaty uf Washington hisd not referred to them.There is nothing on the face of the award which gives amy countenance tu the supposition thas the Commissioners travelled boyond the limits assigned to thew by the Treaty.Mr.Frarts\u2019 argument in favor of this contention is entirely deducud from what he coa- siders to be the magnitade of the su:n awanisd.It is, he contends so far in excom of what the Upited States Government believe to be the true solution of the problem submitted by the Treaty that some factor which the \u2018I'resty bus not recognized tnust necessarily, in his opanioa, hare beet imported in the calculation.Mz.Evartas prooveds to give in detail the considera tions by which, in his judgmest, the result arrived at should be reach He gives his res sons for believing mackerel fs the only fish to whase capture in waters upeued by Great Britain any vaine should be ned, aod hat no wc count is to be taken , halibut, cod, hake, pollock, or bait fish; be computes the number of mackerel which United States fisher men caught within the three-mile line from shore durisg the years of the Treaty which have expired, and isfers from 18 the number which they are likely to catch within the same ares during the inteeval that remains, sod concludes this branch of bis srxument by estimating, on various bypotbesis, the prutit which a United States ermao is likely tu have mode frum mackerel, which be has probably caught om the other side.He estimated at a very high value the protit which British fishermen have derived from the ing of the markets of the United States, comcindes that the sum fixed by the avard is s0 much larger than these conridesa.tions named bave justified, that the United States Goverament can only explain its magnitude on the tion that the Commis slon has wistaken tha question that was referred to it.That Mr.Evarta' reasoning is powerful it is uot necessary for me to say.nor on the other hand, will he be surprised tu hear Her Majety'e Government still retain the be.Lief that it i» capable of refatation : but in their oploion they would not be justitied in following him into the details of his srgument.\u2018These very matters were examined at t length and with consdentious minuteneas by the Commissioners whose award is under discussion.The decision of the majority was given, sfier a full bearing of all the considerations either sides was able to advance, and that decision, within tbe limits of the matter submitted to them, is, under the treaty, without appeal, The argument of Mr.Evarta amounts to one view of their award on the question of fact and miary computation referred to them, At same time be contends that the sum awarded is excessive, and that therelore the award must have born arrived ground that the conolasion arrived at by the Arbitrators on ney i 4 referred to them la mroneuus, e seme thing as -

MONTREAL WEEKLY WITNESS, Noveuser 21, 1878.\u201cYE BGA OT.10 \u201c A Cuarren J.IRRYONE: COUIE.Herford us vue of the litlle sen-bourd purishew wbich «ncircied Euslaud ; each vue cntain'ug its malt, gees storm -besten church, jerched co à crap overgrown with ivy and mous, or built low down cn the shore, with the mosn of the sea noundin; cenasutly round the graves of the deud.The village of Herford consisted of sa struegliug street of fishermen's houses, stretching in & single line from the shore inland, with scattered cottages and humble farmateads dotted shout the slopes each side vf the deep valley running down \u2018uv the nea, There was uu pier, sud there were no lodging-houses.The uearest post town was five miles uff by the neurest ronda rough and wind-rwept path over the clitls\u2014-und seven full miles if you traversed the whole length of the valley in order tu reach the highway.In every season of the year hedgerow flowers were to be found in bleu in Herford, for the valley lay upen to the south, apd the soft mist.laden south wind alone cvuld breathe freely along it, There waa neither biting cold in winter, nor scorching heat in summer: and the noiny, narrow rivulet, which sang and played all down ita winding curves, wus never parch- +d up by drought, and but seldum overtlowed ita deep bunks.The bay where it emptied it- wolf & small ridge of pebbly beach, beyond which lay a tract of firm, bright sand, stretch.lug in a narrow lult for miles under the cliffs when the tide was out.Almost every man in the village vwned some small boat of his own.for the railway was as far off as Lowboruugh, aud the inhabitents of Ilerford preferred launching their rude, safe fishing craft, and running round with the tile, to travelling along the dusty, hot highway, whenever they had any of the produce of their fields or their neta to dispose of.The whole parish, almost to a single field, was the property vf one landuwner, old Richard Herford, of Herford Court, who unoas tors had dwelt there for many geuerations, gradually rising from thé position uf farmer to that { gentleman, and as gradually addiug field to field, until the whole of the ish, with the ~mal! living attached to it, had come into their hands.The old man now in i past eighty.He had been cast in 8 somewhat rougher mould than his immediate forefuthery, und, instead of taking any part in the affairs «f the county, had led a homely, rustic life, Fishing in his own boat, farming his own fields, and ruling bis tenants, both farmer and fishermen, with a high hand.He had not married till late in life, and when his only son and heir was born he was already sixty years of uge\u2014a strong-willed, relfish men, neither able nor willing to learn any lesson disagree- nble to his egotism.He idolized his boy, the son of his old age, but he did not suffer this idolatry to interfere with the supreme worship of himself.He could not have more rieetly succeeded in ruining his son by ind os if he had set that end before bin as n definite «im.Master Dick, as he was caliod by all the village, grew up wild, ignorant, and recklens: a torment to men, and a terror to the women of the He would not go to ~houl, and the tutors provided fur bim at home found him unmanageable and incorrigible; but were laughed at or scorned by his father if they made any complaint ajrainet Lim.\u201cThe boy can always be managed by me,\u201d he said.Men.Herford, who was more than thirty yrars younger than her husband, had been a widow with cue child when she marriei a «vond time.Until this marriage her life had been t in large towns, chiefly in London, amid the constant bustle and stir of & popu- luus community.She had been fascinated by the seclusion and «quiet of Herford, and ied a perpetual peace munt feign tn vefalions wh kept her grodgioniy ; and her young wn was a heavy burden to her.Sh wae not fit to maintain herself, or at leant thought so.She had never been willing to work steadily, or to do anything that might *.ut the moment irksome to her.When old Bi hard Herford had unexpectedly asked her \u2018> become hix wife, she had consented with alarrity, believing that henceforth she would Lave her own way in everything.* Retter *e an old man's darling than a young mau's tase,\" she had rid to herself.But a as her child was hom she was set vi ide, aud treated, even with regard t- his training, as a complete cypher : being hardly more than *he housekeeper of Herford Court, which from that eporh became the kingdom of the son and Lei of Herford.Justin Webb, her elder boy, was ten years \u201cof age when his half-brother wan born.\u201d He was already 8 thoughtful, advanced lad, prematurely wise from knocking about in the werld during the homeless years of his mother's widowhood.Ho was old enough to feel a sharp pang of resentment ut her scrend marriage: a step which thronghout hin whole after life be never fully forgave.But the change waa attended with many advantages to him.Old Richard Herford was uot unkind to the fatherlom boy, and in « rough fashion of his own Le tried to make a man of him.He sucoveded in training the sown.bred Ind into a capital sailor, and a still Petter farmer, The quiet, beautiful country life wen all Justin's affeotions, which had so little else to cling to.The bright, vhangeful sea, never bearing the same aspect Inng: the dangerous cliffs, which he soon learned to «vale with the most enturesome of the village urchina; the wild slopen of the decp valley, with their elegant birch-tres and ferns and flowers, that lived all the winter through : the large, well-stocked farmstead adjoining the Conrt ; the Court iteelf.with its low, whinacoted moms, and long, dark Isbbice,
