ENGLISH EXTRADITION.

Mr. Blaine's Treaty with Great Britain Sent to the Senate.

New York, Jan. 27.-The Tribune prints the following from Washington:

The new extradition treaty with Great Britain, negotiated by Secretary Blaine, and now pending in the senate, is given herewith in full, together with the letter of the secretary of state submitting the treaty to the president and the letter of the president submitting the treaty to the senate. The treaty itself differs radically from the one negotiated by Secretary Bayard, in that it does not contemplate, in the remotest degree, the surrender of what are called "political criminals," and also in that it adds a large list of crimes to the ones which, under the treaty of 1842, are declared to be extraditable. There was no difficulty, it is believed, in negotiating the present treaty, both countries being equally desirous to obtain the surrender of their embezzlers and other criminals. The letter of Mr. Blaine explains each of the provisions of the treaty in an exhaustive manner.

The provisions made are applicable to the following additional crimes:

1. Manslaughter.

2. Counterfeiting or altering money; uttering or bringing into circulation counterfeit or altered money.

3. Embezzlement, larceny, obtaining money under false pretences; receiving money or other property knowing the same to have been embezzled, stolen or fraudulently obtained.

4. Fraud made criminal by the laws of both countries.

5. Perjury or subornation of perjury.

6. Rape, abduction, child stealing, kidnapping.

7. Burglary, house breaking or shop breaking.

8. Piracy.

9. Revolt, or conspiracy to revolt in the high seas, wrongfully sinking or destroying a vessel at sea or attempting to do so; assaults on board a ship on the high seas.

10. Crimes and offenses against the laws of both countries for the suppression of slavery and slave trading.
