The Mockery.—Some days since we took occasion to expose the Know Nothing charac- ter of the late bogus Old Line Whig State Con- vention held at Baltimore, Md., whereupon some Know Nothing correspondent of our tal- ented, truthful and ingenuous neighbor abused us and epithetized us roundly, for misrepre- senting that precious gathering. Feeling very sure that come bona fide Old Line Whig of Maryland would sooner or later lift the flimsy veil of false pretences with which the Know Nothings were endeavoring to cover up thoir tracks in the management of that affair, we preferred not to notice our gentle and amiable neighbor's correspondent at that time. The Hon. Senator Samuel H Berry of Upper Marl- boro, who was elected a delegate from Prince George to that Convention, appeared on the day before yesterday in the Plaxter’s Advo- cate over his own name, and thoroughly ex- poses the mendacity, impudence and hum- bugzery of the effort to create the impression that it proved to be aught but a Know Noth- ing expedient to deceive the bona fide Whigs of the State into the support of Fillmore and the principles of Know Nothingism. We thero- fore proceed to quote him as a sufficient reply to the Know Nothing who assailed us through the columns of our immaculate and even-tem- pered neighbor. Thus; describing the success- ful efforts of the Know Nothings to pack the county meetings selecting delegates, he says : In many, indeed in most of these, it appear- ed that there were present persons notoriously identified with this new party, in such num- bers as in many instances to control the ac- tion of the meeting, as a consequence of which many delegations were sent, either instructed to endorse a particular candidate, or else composed of persons previously pledged to his support. The irregularity of which proceed- ing must have been apparent to all real Whigs, upon two considerations; for, firstly, members or adhersnts of other parties had no right to control these meetings, and, second- ly, the sending for men already pledged or instructed for a particular ticket, and resolved at all hazard to have that ticket endorsed, defeated the primary and original object of the whole movement, wh‘ch, as { have stated, was for the purpose of free and unbiased con- sultation as to the course proper for Whigs to pursue. “ Upon arriving in Baltimore it was evident that these irregular proceedings had been carried to such an cxtent, as totally to set ut defiance the very object of the Convention, it being clear that the adherents of the ‘* Amer- ican”’ party and the supporters of its nomina- tion had secured the entirecontrol. Believing, therefore that the meeting would not be proy- erly a Whig meeting, believing that it would depart from the principles already laid down by the first meeting, (April 29th,) and that its action would, consequently, be an entire de sertion and betrayal of the Old Line Whigs of the State, [ declined to attend its sittings. And it is because these fears have been con- firmed by its action, that I refuse to endorse, in avy particular, what it has seen fit to do. Many of the counties were not represented at all. Many had but one delegate present, and not a feweven of the delegations that were present were composed of persons who cared not a fig for Whig principles in comparison with the aforesaid ‘‘ American’? dogmas they bad seen fit to adopt. “I oppose its action, therefore, in the first place, because it was properly constituted, but was controlled by the members or adberents of another party to secure their own ends. I oppose it, in the second place, because of the resolutions it adopted, and its endorsement of Mr Fillmore. The resolutions, by their in.- plied coincidence with Mr. Filimore’s present position, fy directly in the face of the position taken by the preceding meeting of the 2¥th of April, and by their studied evasion of the ex- citing —- of the day. their denunciation of the Democratic ated as sectional, because of its efforts on behalf of southern rights, and their failure to endorse the Kansas bill, for which the Svuth now contends, they utterly fail to meet the views of seuthern Whigs upon these questions ’’ {[7 Advertiserhents should be handed in by 12 o’clock, m., otherwise they may not appear until the next day. Notice —Those charged with the manage- ment of clubs, societies, and all other associa- -tions are notified thatin order to insure the insertion of advertisements or notices of any description in the Star, payment must be made for them when cffered, or an arrangement for the payment for the same provided for.

The Union urges Mr. Ball’s committee to extend its investigations into the transactions of the Treasury Department under the last Administration, if its purpose be really to ferret out public abuses, intimating that it will thus find enough to make it quite sick of its job in band. The Intelligencer deplores the growing sec- tional animosity, and quotes the prophetic and persuasive words of Webster against that fell spirit. eo or WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOESIF The Trial of P. T. Herbert.—The readers of the Star will bear witness to the scrupulous care with which we have endeavored to steer this journal clear of a course upon the subject of the homicide of Keating, by Herbert, that might by any chance serve to defeat a fair trialof the accused. We have pursued that course under a deep sense of our responsibility as the conductor of a public journal penetrat- ing into almost every household in the District of Columbia and for many miles around, as well as into thousands afar off accustomed to regard its statements of occurrences in Wash- ington as being, except in the few instancesin which we make corrections, positively and un- qualifiedly true Yet we also feel, as we should, the respon- sibility resting upon the Star as one of the guardians of the true interests of thir commu- nity, which are involved in nothing more cer- tainly than in the rigidness with which both law and justice are administered without fear or favor, by the courts of the District of Colum- bia. We had hoped that we should have felt at liperty to abstain from making a single edi- torial comment upon this trial during its pro- gress; but the labors of those who are now seeking to vindicate the accused in many ways, have imposed on us the disagreeable du'y of expressing our views—not upon the question of the guilt or innccence of P. T Herbert—but on collateral subjects bearing on the trial. A counsel fer the defence, in opening yes- terday, commented with great severity upon the c.urse of the press with reference to the affair, including, in plain terms, the press of this city, whose publications concernicg it have, as far as we have seen, been marked with ecrupulous forbearance, under the cir:um- stances. To the press he attributed the great excitement existing here with reference to the matter. It strikes us that features connected with the trial are more fairly chargable with bsving originated the more than usual inter- ect in it that has been manifested by the Dia- trict public. These are: first, the manifest difference made ty the officers of the law in the treat- mnent of the accuted when first arrested, and that of cther prisoners held under charges of the same grade. Next, the extraordinary ar- ray of “distinguished” influence in the court rooms during the original examination and the subsequent trial, calculated, if not de- signed, to defeat the return of a verdict with out fear or favor. Next, again, the course which the court conceived to be its duty to pursue throughout the trial, ending in the in- structions given to the jury, which have al- ready been severely commented upon by the press of the country, and which have beon very generally disapproved by the legal pro- fession, as invclving ideas of the law by no means likely to render human life more safe than heretofore in this community And next, again, the fact that these instructions went to the jury without a protest from the Protecution. A scrupulous determination to abstein from doing aught that ean possibly Improperly influence the result of the trial compels us to say no more of these instruc- tions at this time. Again : Circumstances connected with the selection of the jury now trying the case are far more caleulated than any possible com- ments of the press to excite the mind of this public with reference to the trial. Eleven of the jurors are understood to be members of the Know Nothing party Two of them de- clared, on being questioned by the Court, that they had formed opinions as to the guilt or innocence of the accused and had expressed those opinions; while one of tucm proclaimed that at that moment his expressed opicion was retained ; which means if meaning eny thing, that his mind was bi- assed on the case. One of the Jurors is un- derstocd to have been a visitor of the accused in prison and an active sympathizer with him. We submit that all these things legitimately account for the extraordinary manner in which public attention is fixed on this trial, without seeking for other reasons to that end. Again : Friends of the accused have used some of the newspapers of Washington in his bebalf. Even to-day we find in the Onion an earnest appeal, evidently for his acquittal, to much of which we do not feel at liberty to allude in detail, because it touches points which we cannot discus; without justly sub- jecting ourself to the charge of having undu- ly influenced the current trial There is a statement in that communication, however, which it is due to this public that we should notice. It is as follows: “If Mr. Doubois bad consented in court he could only have corroborated the testimony for the defence. This gentleman bas sutborized Dr. 0 M. Woozencraft now in this city, to contradict all the newspapers statements with which bis name has been in any manner connected Delicacy on the part of Mr. Herbert's friends has prevented the ———_ of hoe pert statement during the pendency of the trial; but at th time it will be made public.’” ae rat i Of this we bave to say that, without pre- tending to dispute the accuracy of its repre. sentation of what M. Dubois told the gentle- map named above, of which we know nothing except what tho writer states, we are very sure thet bis original representations of the fiir t gentlemen of Washington do not war- rant the conclusion with reference to what his The Contested Election Case.—The Repub- lican managers in the House have decreed that the Hon. Mr. Allen, of Illinois shall be ousted from his seat as a representative in Congress, and that one of their own party shail take his place. The reason for this de- termination is to be found in the fact that by effecting such a change, the vote of Lilinois will be seoured for Fremont in case the Presi- dential election goes to the House. Under such circumstances, a very slim pretence of illegality in the election of Mr. Allen, is suffi- cient as the basis on which to found the pro- ceedings through which they are striving to work out theirend. So far as the question of right is concerned, one might as well whistle psalms to dead horses as argue it to them in their present strait concerning the next Presi- dency. If this determination was theirs only» the evil would be slight in its effects. But Mr. Fillmore’s northern friends, or at least enough of them to secure the triumph of their plot—for it is neither more nor less than a plot—have determined to aid them While the Southern Know Nothing leaders and newspapers are tickling the imagination of their followers with Mr. Fillmore's Albany and Rochester speeches, his northern guard in the House are plotting with the Republi- cans a scheme like this, to, if possible, insure the election of Fremont over Buchanan. Verily, the Know Nothing leaders must re- gard the Know Nothing masses in Maryland, Louisiana, and Kentucky, as not only the most stupid of the stupid, but as being utterly lost to all sense of self-respect and self-preser- vation. Nought but such an impression con- cerning them can superinduce the belief that they will continue to strengthen the bands of Mr Fillmore’s northern fuglemen here, for working out the triumph of such coalition for such purpozes. Mr Burwell.—Mr. Wm. M. Burwell, late editor of the Washington Organ, has resigned his seat in the Virginia Legislature, because he cannot longer act with the Know Nothing perty against the election of Buchanan and Breckinridge. His published letter of resig- nation is able and interesting, and shows that those in the South who under any pretence seck to draw the South from the support of Buchanan and Breckinridge, are pursueing a course that must lead, if successfal, to thede- struction of the rights and interests of their section of the confederacy. We shall to-mor- row endeavor to find space wherein to refer more at length to this able Istter. The Way of All (Know Nothing) Flesh — The proceedings of the bogus Old Line Whig State convention, recently in session at Rich- mond, Va, were as amusing as those of its late counterpart in Baltimore, and identical in tenor; in other Words, it was composed al- most entirely of persons who, while steadily voting and spouting Koow Nothiogism for Years past, do not hesitate to admit that they retain their form the old questions A resolution me the members to be Whigs and not KivW Nothings, was very un- ceremoniously voted down, or hunnifuggled out of the way, it will be perceived from the accounts of their proceedings now being pub- lished in nearly all the newspapers. The only solution of this action is, that, otherwise, the entire Know Nothingism of the gathering would have been exposed to the gaze of those whose votes are designed to be entrapped by the act of the Know Nothing leaders in stook- ing the delegations to these so-called Old Line Whig conventions, Tho Mission to Mexico.—We are satisfied that the paragraph being fublizhed, saying that John Forsyth, Esq., of Mobile, Alabama, has been nominated to the Senete to be the American Minister to Mexico, vice Minister Gadeden, resigned, is premature. Yet wo be- lieve that Mr F. bids fair to be selected for that so important position. We are very sure that no better or more acceptable appoint- ment could be made. Mr. Forsyth is a gen tleman of high character and rare abilitiee, possessing much of that perspicacity, readi- ness and acuteness of. intellect for which his father the late John Forsyth of Georgia, was so <istinguished when In the public service Though comparatively young, no other man of his times has more thoroughly impressed him- self on the popular mind in his own section of the confederacy. Whig sentiments on all igsuc. The Naval Promo ions.—The Senate are understood, yesterday, to have confirmed nearly allof the large batch of Naval pro- motions growing out of the law for the forma tion of a Retired List, &c. in the Navy of the United States. This bears out what we have published concerning the probable result of the long senatorial controversy over the action of the late Naval retiring board. The Secretary of the Navy left Waching- ton yesterday for the Fauquier White Su'- phur Springs, Va., where the condition of his health makes it necessary that he should so- journ for a short season.

There seems to be no reason for this heaviness, and we think prices must advance. The demand for money is somewhat in ex- cess of the supply, and, although no absolute preseure exists, rates are perceptibly higher. The quotations are on call 6 to7 per cent ; for sixty and ninety day paper 7 to 8 per cent. This state of the market is caused, in part, by the combined heavy shipments of specie to Europe, and the temporary falling off in re- ceipts from California. The New York bank statement for the week ending July 12th, shows a loss of $2,035,827; the loans and dis- counts have increased $480,454; the defidsits have decreased $1,231,790, and the circula- tion $231,715. The specie list of Wednes- day’s steamer was over $1,000,000, and a large shipment by the Baltic to-morrow is antici- pated. LAND WARRANTS have advanced 3 cents per acre sineé oar last report It is now confidently believed that the bill pending before Congress to make land warrants receivable on the reserved sec- tions of railroad grants, and at the public land sales, will become a law thi: session This belief has caused holders to decline sell- ing at present rates, and has given firmness to the market, which makes the demand con- tinue in excess of the supply, producing a consequent steady rise. Should the market reach $1 per acre, the limit put upon large amounts lying in the market, the supply must be in excess of the demand. We advise all who have wa~ ants to send them to market, to be sold on the passage of the bill referred to, as we are confident prices will be higher immediately on its passage than at any sub- sequent period. We understand that the Governor of Iowa has called a special session of the Legislature to make a disposition of the grants of lands in that State, which will be the means of speed- ily bringing those lands into market again, and tend to enhance the value of warranta, The Current Operations of the Treasury Department.—On yesterday, the 17th of July, there were of Treasury warrants the books of the Department— sred ea For the redemption of Stocks.

In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, at the conclusion of their Executive session, the bill to repeal so much of the act approved March 3, 1855, as provides for the erection of an armory in the city of Washing- ton, was discussed by Messrs. Brown, Fits- patrick, Jones of Tenn, Cass, Brodhead, Clay, Geyer and Pugh, when. on the question *f its engrossment no quorum voted—yeas 18, nays 13—and then they adjourned. In the House, the debate on the Illinois contested election case was continued by Messrs. Norton, Miller, and Cadwallader. The previous question was then called and seconded, with the understanding that Mr. Stephens is to be allowed to speak on the sub- ject ere closing the debate. Various bills, resolutions, &c., were then introduced and referred or otherwise disposed of ere they adjcurned Preceedings ef Te-Day. In the Senate, Mr. Yulee introduced a bill to have printed matter, hereafter sent in the mails, prepaid; referred. On motion of Mr. Pearce, the bill to carry into effect the act entitled ‘an act to provide for the accommodation of the courts of the United States for the districtof Maryland, and for a post office at Baltimore city, Maryland,”’ approved February 17, 1855, was taken up; and it was passed. The billto repeal the act for the construe- tion of an armory in the District of Columbia was also passed—yeas 20, nays 16 Mr. Crittenden was advocating the passage of the bill for the relief of the heirs of the late Col John Harden of Ky., when the Star went to press. In the House, to-day, immediately after the reading of the journal, the [illinois contested election case was again taken up, when Mr. Stephens addressed the House in favor of his minority case Mr. Archer (tke contestant for the seat) availing himself of the privilege voted to him by the House, then addressed them in favor of his claim. << New Mvsic.—From Ellis’ Piano and Music establishment we have received, *‘ Thou wilt never meet me more,” with brilliant varia- tions. ‘F limore Scottische,’’ by Southgate ; very beautifully embellished. ‘‘ Railroad Scottische,”? by H.
