As I observed above a good deal of criticism has followed and it is not improbable that more will be heard on the subject. It is a sorry and unfortunate affair from first to last. A civil action in connection with the same affair comes on in September, Damages are set at two thousand dollars. It is satisfactory to note that though the accused is an American, the feeling of the greater portion of the American community on the subject is wholly opposed to their countryman. There has been an attempt in some quarters, notably in one newspaper here, to discredit and injure Mr. Enslie, and it must be remarked that Mr. ison went out of his way to cast reflections upon that gentleman—whieh was not altogether surprising to those behind the scenes. Some of the members of the English community have taken up the matter, Iam glad to say, and a letter is being Circulated and widely signed, the body of which is couched in the following language:—*We, the undersigned, beg to tender you our thanks for the efforts you have made and are still making to uphold the dignity and_ gentlemanly character of this community, and our deep sympathy for the trying position in which you have thereby been recent placed." "Such a communication andre to Mr. Enslie by his ce-nationals and others should go far to re-assure him. The letter has been criticised in one quarter of course as might have been confidently expected.
