Cause of tlie Difficulty. United States Authorities Refuse to Re turn British Deserters, Ac, &c &cU trom the liartlord Courant, Nov. 3. We hear, through a semi-official source, last evening, that trouble was brewing on the Cana da border, arising from the desertion of British soldiers. Our informant stated that a lieutenant in her majesty's army crossed with a company of marines from Canada into Maine, for tne pur pose of arresting several deserters. Upon their arrival on ", neutral soil " the marines would not acknowledge the authority of their commanding officer, declaring themselves free, and refused to return with him. Application was made to the United States authorities to - have the men given up, which was refused, and it was stated that there was danger of an outbreak. The authori ties at Washington were advised, and Hancock's corps was ordered to rendezvous in Maine. This is substantially the statement made to us. That there is a movement of troops is certain. The company attached to Hancock's corps stationed in this city received orders yesterday to report at Augusta, Me., and seventy-two men, all of the company who were able to start, left here on the mail train last night. CONFIRMATION OP TBOOPS THE REPORT ADDITIONAL SENT FORWARD. Boston, Nov. 3. Company B of the Fifth regiment Hancock's Veteran Reserve seventy-eight men passed through the city to-day, en route for Augusta, Me. They presented a fine appearance. APPREHENSIONS OF THE CANADIAN PRESS. ' From the Toronto Freeman, Nov. 9. We confess to more apprehension of disturb ance from the government of the United States than from the fenians. There may be some" trouble from that quarter, and, should it arise, the fenians, as a matter of course, and very na turally, would be utilized. The claims which have been made from Washington upon the im perial government, for compensation for losses inflicted- upon American commerce by the Ala bama, during the progress of the late war, may lead to difficulty. . . It is to be hoped the matter will be amicably adjusted. ' Should it unfortu nately happen that serious complications will arise, and that they must be referred to the ar bitrament of the sword, then indeed we may have sufficient cause for apprehension. The time that would be chosen to send over the frontier an army of occupation would be when we are least guard ed or prepared ; when the means of procuring from England reinforcements and supplies would be cut off, with our ice-bound channels of com munication. It will be then left for us to make the best terms we can, and surrender at discretion. Ijt were wiser and more prudent for us. to look to such a contingency than be occupying our thoughts with the bugbear of a fenian invasion. Mississippi News. Jackson, Miss., Nov. 11. Major-General Howard addressed a large as semblage of freedmen to-day. He assured them that the plantation lands would not be divided among them, and that the freedom which ithey enjoyed was the privilege to work for their liv ing and support. " ; The State legislature is still . engaged in dis cussing the negro testimony question. The condition of, the people of Mississippi ap peals powerfully for protection.

Lane then desisted for a time, and they separated. Mellheny said to witness, "I am done with, him am satisfied, and will have nothing more to do with him, if he will let me alone." Witness thenresumed his place at the stand and commenced eating ; thought they both did the same ; about a minute elapsed and Lane came up and said something ; to Mcllheny ; don't - know what it was, the tone of voice was rough ; Mell- nenny said to him, "l told you to let me alone," and then asked him what he said : donTt know whether language towards Mcllheny was insult ing or not, as it was in an undertone ; don't know whether it was friendly or not ; suppose It was in suiting ; ..witness said to the negro boy opening that he had remOntrfi urSfK Tana BBC .

The Iefence. MA YOB JOHN DAWSON TESTIFIES. Am acquainted with Lane ; he was very trouble some and quarrelsome when drinking ; officially speaking he has been in the guard house several times; he was disposed to fight when under the influence of liquor, CROSS-EXAMINED BY JUSTICE. Mcllhenny is a peaceable, good citizen ; he is badly crippled, and it is a shame for any man to strike him. WM. N. PEDEN TESTIFIES. Not personally acquained with Lane's character; heard that when in liquor he was quarrelsome. CROSS-EXAMINED BY JUSTICE. The general character of Mcllheny is that ot a good citizen; he is a young man, and may have been in scrapes at times. The evidence concluding the counsel reviewed the case, when the justice required a bond of the prisoner in the sum of five thousand dollars to answer to the charge of manslaughter, at the next term of the court authorized to try the case. : : The Great National Curiosity. A young lady, born without arms, and who knits, crochets, braids hair, embroiders, writes and uses the scissors, knife, fork, tumbler, &c, besides comb ing her own hair, using only her feet, and ren dering her one of the greatest of living curios ities, is to hold a levee to-day, between the hours of ten A- M. and nine P. M. The public can'rest assured that she is everything that she claims. Theatre. Miss Ida Vernon's first appearance drew a large audience at the theatre last night, and among them the largest number of ladies seen there since her last visit. The cast is very good, the principal characters being well repre sented. Miss Vernon has improved greatly. She appears again to-night in the samo piece.

A STRAGESTATEMET. The Connection of British Gov ernment Officers with the Rebellion. . Charge against the British Consul at Havana. Raines of Persons sairf tn Ship pers of Contraband Goods. &c. &C. &c. Washington, November 12. As one instance of the helD afforded to t.h rebels by English government officers, it is as serted that upon the breaking out of the rebel lion, Henry Hotze, of Mobile, was sent to London to.manufacture letters and articles to be in the' English and French newspapers, in ordpr to give the most fevorable coloring to the rebel transactions, and with full instructions to pay for their insertion if the matter could not be man aged otherwise. Upon his arrival at Havana his visit to the British consul, Mr. Crawford was ot a trienaly nature, and they became so inti mate that Hotze. B. Helur. and t.h pledged themselves individually and collectively " to aid the holy cause of the confederacy to the utmost of their power while life remain tn them." From that'hour the British consulate be came the rendezvous between xebeldom and Europe. Dispatches, always written in tripli cate, one copy being sent through the English post office, addressed under cover to the British consul, as being a sure transit. Money, muni tions of war, &c.,'&c.. all were consifmed to t.h kind offices of Mr. Crawford. Th oantn the blockade-runners also first steered to Mr Crawford, as being the trusted depository of the current post signals, xnese signals were changed by the rebels every month, and Mr. Crawford, as being the most trusted employe, was first made acquainted with the change, for the purpose of informing the blockade-runners two business houses at St. Thomas, and thence to Bury street, Condon. It has been estimated that, bv Mr. Crawford's direct -assistance, upwards of two millions of bales of cotton and fifty thousand boxes of to bacco were thus smuggled out throuffh the block ade, to say nothing of the munitions of war sup plied to the rebels from England, aud of which a siignt idea may be formed by the single state ment that Magruder's forces, in Texas, were en- nreiy armed ana supplied from Europe (princi pally from London) directly by the aid and per sonal assistance of Mr. Crawford.
