The Press is almost unanimous in declaring that Grant saved America by vetoing the Inflation BUI- The London "Post" says that President QrantV-action deserves the applause of the nation as much as for what he did at •Vicksburg. The whisky war in Indiana and Ohio has caused a two months' decrease of revenue — equal to nearly four thousand dollars. Incremation has taken the shape of a Bill introduced at the New York Assembly. to incorporate a company of body burners.-- - In San Francisco it is proposed to relieve the over-crowded gaols by sending the prisoners to other countries. Stanley asserts- that Miss Livingston is in possession of her father's diaries for six years to the 2nd August, 1872. The Tichbprne Jury received 300 guineas each for their services. -' Mr. Butt moved an amendment to the report on the Address expressing dissatisfaction in Ireland with the existing system of Government in that country, and suggested that exclusively IrislTaffairs should be left to I#ish members, without any interference with, or any separation from, the British Empire. He pointed to the late election as indicating the feeling of the country, and he explained that all they required was that power of a local self-government which was now enjoyed by the Colonies. The Prime Minister, lie said, who had now by his own genius raised himself for the first time to actual power, might add unrivalled brilliancy to his reputation if he could restore peace and prosperity to Ireland. _ The tone of the debate went to show that the motion meant "disintegration," and that this could never be submitted to. If the Irish members wished to 6erve their country, they might bring in Bills for the redress of grievances, and these would receive every attention and consideration. Among other arguments advanced in favor of the amendment, it was contented that Ireland should enjoy the same privileges as the Governments of Jersey, the Isle of Man, and the Colonies.
