ALLEGED CHILIAN PRIVATEER—Nhe is Seized by Marshal Murray.—The steamer Meteor, al- lege’ to be intended for the Chilian service agains, Spain, cleared from New York yester- dey. Her clearance was granted after full investigation. The Spanish representative there furnished no evidence whatever against the vessel. She had no arms or other war material on board, and under our revenue laws could not be detained. After the clear- ance was granted the vessel was seized. The seizure was made by Marshal Mureay, on information given by a member of the Spanish Legation at Washington. The Meteor is 1.400 tons burthen, and is said to be capable of steaming seventeen or eighteen miles per hour; she is brig rigged, liex low in the water, and is exceedingly strong. She has 700 tous of coal and an ordinary ship’s stores aboard. There was no war material on board, thongh the ‘vessel is in a proper condition to receive a full complement. hen seized, the crew were preparing to get her into the stream, prepara- tory to leaving the port.

The Meteor was constructed from money sub- seribed by merchants ot Boston for the pur- pose of chasing the Aiabama. Tre New York Liner Scir.—On Monday the criminal libel suit which Mr. Alexander T. Stewart instituted, on Saturday last, against Messrs George M. Matsell and Walham Mac- kellar, publishers of the National Police Gazette, was brought before Justice Dowling atNew York. Mr. A. T. Stewart complained ofan article which appeared in last week's Gazette as grossly libeling him, and he asseve- rated with emphasis that he never knew or conversed with the profligate French actress, Natalie Dumas, the female into whose toils an aged millionaire is alleged by the Gazette to have been drawn. Counsel for Messrs. Matsell and Mackellar replied that Mr. Stewart was not the man to whom their reporter referred in the publication which bad occasioned this suit, and motion was therefore made that the complaint be dismissed. Messrs. Uourtland, Palmer, and Wm.G. Lamber, were examined to show that to merchants of long standing in this city the reading of the Gazette article sng- pes the name of Mr. Stewart. Ex-Judze dilton said that his client had no feeling of re- venge to gratify, and that at this stage of the procéedings, aving performed a public duty in calling the attention of the public authorities to a grave offence that had been committed, he would withdraw from the case, A CLAIM TO JUDGE UNDERWOOD's Pror ERTY.—The former owner and bolder of the present residence of Judge Underwood, in Alexandria Va., called, in company with his wife, upon the President on Saturday, and gnade a fermal demand for the repossessiou of his property, a portion of which is now held by Judge Underwood and his son in various parts of the State of Virginia. He alleges that when the rebellion broke ont he was in the southern part of Virginia, and made every exertion to get north to protect his property, but failed; that he can show this fact by abun- dant proof: aud further, that he has always been a loyal citizen of the United States gov- ernment. He alleges, also, that in less than one year from the breaking out of the rebellion his property was libeled, and by decree ren- dered by Judge Underwood, sitting as Judge of the United States Court, confiscated and sold at a very low price, the Judge himself becoming the purchaser of the homestead of the petitioner, and the son of the judge be- coming the purchaser of part ot his other property. The President informed him that, 4s At present advised, he had no authority in the premises, but suggested that the petitioner bad better lay his case before the Attorney General for examinat: N. York Herald. Tne Dry Goovs Marker.—From_ the special report of the New York Dry Goods Market, published in the Sunday Herald, we learn that business has been very dull during the last week, and that ne considerable sales could be made except at a concession of prices. ‘We begin to perceive fluctuations in prices which indicate a decline. Early in the week there was a prevalent disposition among #peculators and outside holders to effect sales even at a reduction of prices. Some of the leading jobbers were not willing to aid the downward movement. Many holders who had bought largely in the autumn, anticipating & constant demand during the winter, were also induced to sell to cover their credits. These mfinences may continue to increase in force as the season advances under present circumstances, while production is pushed as Tapidly as possi . with the prospect of ac- cumulating the stock on the market. Mean- while quotations are mostly nominal, and trade is limited to present wants. The abundance of cotton coming forward, the prospect of a large crop next season and the anticipation of con- traction are likely to prove too much for the Bry Goods market, and we should not be sur- prised to see a strong downward movement commenced any day.

Land warran be issued to each soldier to a suffice to make his bounty equal to those p: latter part of the war. If it should be objected that the public domain would not afford innd enough for this purpose, his auswer was .— “Crores the Potomac; commer measure Southward.” He did not wish to be hard in his treatment of the South unless it was necessary. Lf the country could afford todo justice to the sol- ders without this measure, Very wel; but let justice be done in any case. To our sailors we give all they take: and why may we not apply the same rule to the soldier, at least to the ex- tent of giving bim a few acres of the soil over which he bas marched and fought so long. If the land were setiled by the soldiers who won it, the question of reconstruction could be quickly settied. Then the Southern States could be speedily readmitted and our repre- sentatives in those halls would have no ecca- sion to trouble themselves about questions of loyalty. We might at least settie enough of our soldiers in the South to supply the piace ot those who have falien on the other side. It would be round policy for us to secure our conquests thus, as did the Romans. Discuss- ing the right to adopt this policy, he said the South staked everything upon the issue of the rebellion—not merely their political destiny, but their property, their lives, aud their ail. This being the case, it would not be manly in them to whine when the winners come w claim the stakes, Referring to Jefferson Davis and the rebel Gen. Lee, he said that he desired the queetion tobe tried whether or not it shall be death on the gallows for a man to desert a civil or mili- tary post and take service with the enemies of bis country He also advocated that a special distribution Of land ehould be made to the loyal men of the rebellions States who had fought in our army, and intimated that elmilar provisions should be made for the colored men. >—_— PoLick Rerorts. cond BP recemct.— Joseph Grinnell, larceny; dismissed.
