Hon. Joseph Chaiuberlnin.

Mr. Chamberlain s departure irom Liverpool, for America on the 29 h,sug.-gested-ihe covert flight of a criminal, or a man intent, upon evading his creditors, rather than the progress to his post of duty as an honored representative of the British government. He remained at his hotel until the last minute, and was taken on board the Etruria by a special tender, an hour after the last passenger had been received on board and the vessel swung away from the dock. This was done in order to protect Mr. Chamberlain from the humiliating f experienee of listening to the shouts, jeers and hisses of the great crowd that had assembled at the wharves to give such expression of their detestation cf him, and, thick-skinned as he is, there is no doubt he heaved a sigh of relief when he gained the steamer’s deck. Mr. Chamberlain comes to America to represent the British government in the fisheries negotiations.
