PARIS, Aprli rath. Upon the opening of the Behring sex court of arbitration to-day the president, Baron de Cour celles, announced that the court had decided not to admit the British sopplementary report for the present. The President added that this decision ' introduce the report in the plexilings by word of was without prejudies to the right of counsel to mouth. The President further announced that the tribunal had decided to adjourn the bearing of the demand of the United States for the re- jection af portions of the British counter caso,
J. C. Carter then proceeded to address the court. He.reviswed the history of the sealing. Industry, and mentioned that Russia had pro- hibited the slaughter of female seals. He con- tended that the seals were bestowed by Providence on all mankind. It was the duty of the American Government to prevent their extermination, and therefore the United States had reenacted the Russian regulations for the protection of the seals and had arrested Canadian' poachers because It was impossible to allow any nation to destroy indiscriminately the gift of Providence.
Carter read the diplomatie communications ing. Els address will probably last for fort- on seizures made of resacle accused of ponch-
night.
- United States Agent Foster said in an inters view today that the decision of the court of arbitration in refusing for the present to admit the British supplementary report anhstantl lly sustains the American Interpretation of the treaty of arbitration in the contention that addi- tional evidence cannot properly be laid before. the tribunal. The decision, Foster adila, deters mised that the report can rank at an argument or criticism, but is not pertinent as evidence of printed argument, provided for in the treaty.

A NIw York despatch dated the gedulto, says
There were bargains in the stemship line in the New York market to-day. Three handsome ccean steamers were sold for song. They were the Atlanta, Viglianes and Advants of the United States and Brasil Mail Steamship. Company. They were knocked down by an Suctioneer who acted for United States Marshal Jacobus, because the trafic to Brasil bit been unremunerative for several years. The Company get heavily in debt, hence the sale, The manager of the Company concluded, it is often the case, to let the creditors sell the assets, buy one in cheap and start afresh with a new balance sheet. The actual live claims aggregate little less than $100,000. Among the stock holders presont was C. P. Huntington, who it was said could have bought in all the steamers and not have worried his bank account. Mr. Huntington left early in the scrimmage, but as he is usually alive to bargains it is surmised that be left an anchor to windward. The Allianza went at $3,000 and is worth a quarter of amil. long the Vigilanza, a new ship costing half a millian, was knocked down for #81,009; the Advanca sold for $91,000, All were bought by Ludlow & Co.
THE big salaries, and gremendous prospective pensions of the Australian Supreme Court Judges, observes a writer in the Sydney Bulletin, Are given to secure the zadivited attention of those officials and to protect them against external wrong. Yet it is well-known that mere than one Judge is up to his urck lo financial trouble over land and share speculations. It should, in future, be a condition of accepting a Supreme Court seat that the appointed sell out every share held by him and undertake to buy no more while on the Bench also that he under take never to speculate in land-da, to buy any thing for which he cannot pay cash," "Any man with an income of say £1,500 a year and a prospective pension of over £1,500 should be in clover, so far as money goes. If he can't live Independently under such chicumstances he should not accept appolatment to the Bench: The mind of a Judge should be an easy in regard to Althy lucre as that of the ideal clergyman- the man who, like Fenelon, dies without money and without debta.”
THX Fagan Mall of the 1st inst. notes that the story of Ms. Olahi's appeal from the Korean Mialeter of Forelen Affairs to the King direct has been repeated by the Nicht Nicht. It appears that the Representative of Japan at the Korean Court, forced by vexstious obstruction on the part of lending Korean officials, finn ly resolved to throw selde the ordinary tactics of diplomacy and to cury his complaint direct to the King's car. Accord ingly when his Majesty was giving sudience to the Foreign Representatives who came to offer their congratulations la connection with the birthday of the Crown Prince, addressed to Mr. Dish the stereotyped formals of pleasure that the relations between Korea and Japan were to friendly, Mr. Oishi took advantage of the occasion and declared that, much as hosegreted to mer such a ceremony by any expression of discontent, he felt compelled to expiat that when the chief Ministers of a country employed all kinds of pretexts to avoid an laterview with the Representative of another country, the relations between the two States could scarcely be considered satisfactory The Nicht Nicht does not say how the King took this unprecede ented rejoinder, but merely adds that his Majesty's Instructions are now kwaited."
THE Japan Mail of the rst inst, comments s follows:-The Nippon, celebrated, among other things, for the frequency of its suspensions, has again been put under the ban, on the ground that its fame of the 28th ultimo contained matter prejudiced to the public peacs. The particular article deemed objectionable is net pointed out, but there seems litle doubt that it is one of an unfinished series on "the Sasshu Navy. Our Contemporary has shown by statistics the pro- polos which Naval officers of Sassbu extraction bear to the rest of the service; has described the means by which the Sanshu men am alleged 10 have maintained their ascendency in the Navy has revealed abuses said to have accompanied the monopoly of Naval positions by the men of the great southern clan, and has severely re baked the Government for want of loyalty to the Sovereign in soffering the Navy to remain till to-day in such a shameful condition," It is pity that the Ni/pos bad not sense to write more moderately for the matter of fie miticles bar been interesting and even instructive.
