Correspondence of considerable importance has taken place between the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Secretary Evarts, on the Newfoundland fisheries question. Tire late English secretary (the Marquis of Salisbury), denied that there were any grounds for tbo demand made for compensation on behalf of the American fisheries. He gave his views on the subject at considerable length. In reply, Mr Evarts entirely repudiated the views of the English Secretary of State, and further, in a letter, to President Hayes, urges that United States Government would be justified in adopting retaliatory measures in defence of the American fisherman. This serious declaration of Secretary Evarts has excited somewhat of a sensational interest in America, and a feeling of considerable surprise in England. The policy of the Liberal Government on the subject is looked forward to with unusual anxiety.

Earl Bcaconsfiehl has called a meeting of the Tor y party to consider what programme they will adopt in reference to coudcting the business of the Opposition.
