Tue Metivy Cas recent mutiny case,on board the U. 8, brig Somers, if truly reported, is one of the most during and cold-blood Occurrences ui the k: tempted on board a vessel Deaiiag the Amer in au flag. uced the mutineers te adept such a mode of proceeding isa mutter ot they succceded im destroying human Ng tromsulves of Lhe vesse would hw been impossi « them loug to have revai possession O1 it It is dimos: impossible, however, that we should be furnished with a correct statement of (he facts of tae cuse until they have deen first oiticially made to the Navy Departinen:, at Washingtow, ana from thence pro- mulgaed. 1 We mean ume we can only speculate upon ments of the shocking atfair as we have them. That there was a mutiny ou board the brig there is litle doubt ; but whether the mutineers were “ strung up,” as reported, and in such @ summary manner, is not certain. For the sake of Lieut. McKenzie and his brother oiticers, we hope such was not the case. ‘There are cer. tain laws in existence for the governmentot such cases, which have been violated in more respects than one, il the facts published are literally or substantially true. By a jaw of the United States, mutineers, an. their aids and abettors, on board a United States vessel, are punished with death—but they must first be regularly convicted of the crime by @ properly organized Court Marual, and in tue case Of & Warrant Or Commissioned olticer, the Presi- deut ofthe United States must approve the sentence oi the court betore it cau be legally carried into execution. ‘The Thirtwenth article of the Act of Congress ot 1800, tor the better government of the Navy of tue United, States, declares that— “Iaay person is the Navy shall make, or attempt to make, why mutinous ussemvly, he shail, on conviction thereof by a Court Martial, sulfer death; dud if any per- son, w6 aloresaid, shall uler amy seditious or mutiivus words, oF shall conceal or connive at any mutinous or se ditious practices, or shall treat with contempt his supe- rior, being ia the execution of his office; or, being witness to any mutiny or secition, shatl not do Lis utmost to sup- press it, he shiali be punished at the discretion of a Court Martial.’ Seeing that death is the punishment prescribed by law for the crime of inutiay, it becomes necessary to inquire what are ihe necessary preliminaries to its infliction — Under the laws of Penisyivania, the crime of murder in the first degree is,in like manner punishable with death, but no matter how openly, and under what shocking and brutal circumstances the actis committed, a tual, coavic- tion, and sentence, always precedes the vindication of tue Jaw. So, too, in offences against the laws ot the Navy— and, in this mstance, iu the case of mutiny upon be high seas, atrial, conviction, and sentence by aCourt Martial, properly org2nized, must precede the infliction of the pe- nalty of the Jaw. Were the necessary and legal steps taken, by the otti- cers of the Somers, vefore the mutineers ware “strung up” tothe yard arm? We think not. ‘Lhe thirty-filth section of the Act 01 1800, above referred to, prescribes the man- nerin which ali Courts Martial for the trial of offences against the iaws of the Navy shall be organized. General Courts Martial may be convened as often ss the President of tae United States, the Seerctary of the Navy, or the Comuender-in Chiel of the fleet, or Commander of a squadron, while acting out of the United States, shall deem it necessary. Provided, That no general Court Mazitial shall consist of more than thirteen, nor less than five members; and as many officers shall be summoned on every such court as can be convened without injury to the service, so as not to exceed thirteen,and the senior officer shall always preside, the others rauking egreeably to the date of their commissions, and in no case whereit can be avoided without injury to the service, shall more than one halfthe members, exclusive of the president, be junior to the officer to be tried. The first question to be settled under this article is— whether Licut. McKenzie, not being either “Comman der-in-Cnief of a fleet,” or “ Commmander of a squadron,” had aright to convene acourt mardal by virtue of the jaw. But even if we pass over this difficulty, there is another still strouger in the way. The organization of, and proceedings before the court, does not appear to have been in keeping with the demands of theact, I'he requi- site number of commissioned otticers being present, each mem ver of the Court must take an oath, to be administer’ ed by the Judge Advocate, or person officiating as such, “ to truly try the case before the Court, without preju- dice or portiality, not to divulge or disclose the sentence of the Court, until it shall have been approved by the pro- per author nor at any time to disclose the vote or opinion ot any particular member of the Court, unless re- quired so to do beiore a Court of Justice” All charges, on which an application for a generel court martial is tounded, shall be exhibiced in writing to the proper officer, and the person demanding the court shall take cage that the person accused be furnished with a true Copy ofthe charges, with the specifications, at the time he is put under arrest, nor sholl any other charge or charges than those so exhibited, be urged against the tried before the court, intelligence of such charge had not reached What could hay rash and thougit) surprise, for he lite, amd pos: u put u: port of such charge, who was at that time absent, c1 produced ; in which case reasonable time shall to the person to be tried, to make his defence against such new charge. The witness beiore the court shail be ex. amined upon oath. Now it wonld seem from the statement in possession of the public, that a somewhat difterent court from that required was held—that it was a “drum head” court martial. Such a tribunal has no legal existence in the Navy of the Uni ted States, and the proceedings of any court martial con- vened and conducted differently from what the law has prescribed, are illegal. If it be decided that the Lieutenant Commanding ofa brig has authority to organise a court martial, and the court in the present case was properly organised, and the proceedings before it in keeping with the requisitions of the law, then the punishment inflicted upon the petty of ficers and seamen were legal and proper. But that of Mid shipman Spencer was illegal under ail the circumstances. The forty-first article of the act of Congress of 1800, pro- vides that “All sentences ot ceurts martial, which shall extend to the loss ot life, shall require the concurrence of two thirds of the members present ; and no such sentence shall be carried into execution until confirmed by the President of the United States ; or if the trial take plact out of the Uni- ted States, until it be confirmed by the Commander ol the fivetor squadron. Allother sentences may be determin- ed by a majority of votes, and carried into executionon confirmation of the commander of the fleet, or officer o1 dering the Court, proved by the President of the United Sta Midshipman Spencer was a warrant office quently comes within the scope of the above ar one whose sentence must be approved by the! ent of the United States before it could be legally enlorced. So that no matter it there had been no informality in any of the previous proceedings against him, this last was an act which Lieut McKenzie and his officers has no more right to do, than he would have to hang au innocent mem ber of his crew for amusement. But it way be said that the officers of the brig acted up- on the law of sei! preservation, which transcends all sta- twory enactments, and that the exigencies of the case, therefore, will justify them, Thisargument will not hold water. The law of sell preservation only comes in when all others fuil, and the fact of the officers organizing them- selves into a court, and having the power to overcome and secure the mutineers, at once dispels the idea of their being compelled to resort to the extremities suggested by self preservation. A discussion of this question, however, we must reserve for the fature, only remarking, that hed the mutineers actually made an attack upon the officers and crew, then every man of them might legally beshot down without mercy, but until the necessit: of the case demanded such proceeding, it cannot be justified. We have thus hastily run over the prominent features of this appalling case, and compared them with the law gov- erning matiny and court martial. Our readers can judge for themselves of the reas: as of our deductions. It 1 but just to say that pnblic opinion is rtro Lieut. McKenzie, and no doubt numbers of oth have purmued pretty much the same course in a similar emergency. If we remember right, Commodore Jones once served in the same manner some of his men who mit tinied inthe Pacific Ocean. The court martial in that case, however, was a regular one in every respect.

Alderman C. P. Brows, of the 8th, who is well known to be a strong, substantial, and fearless friend of licensing the meat shops, moved an amendment of the first section to that effect, and accompanied his motion with able and appropriate remarks. Alderman Scoxss, of the 14th, moved to lay the whole ordinance upon the table, and offered a resolution that the whole subject be distinctly submitted to the people at the next charter election, and two different kinds ¢ { tickets be prepared for the people—‘public markets, and no meat shops,”—private markets, or meat shops.” He was op- posed to licensing the meat aioe, Alderman W. Doves was altogether opposed to any such laying of thes ubject upon the table. The people have alrewiy expressed their opinions relative to the meat shops, and they could do no more ut the next election. Alderman Brows again advocated immediate action He said he was ready to act now upon ‘nt to have his conduct to be pronounced upon by no particular party, but by the public at large. He would on this subject discard all party feeling, and go with what he considered public sentiment. ‘The question was taken on laying the subject on the ta- bie, and lost by a vote of § to 9. Messrs. Westervelt Nesbett, W. Dodge, Wiliams, Waterman, Esquir Scoles, and Mead, voting in the affirmative, and the other members, to wit, Messrs. Adams, Atwell, Nash, Brown, Ward, C.J. Dodge, Allerton, Brady, and Petti- grew in the negative. ‘Then followed a variety of amendments, proposed by upon this subject it, and was con! the opnonents of the meat shops, barrass and entangle the subject, and keep the main ques ticn constantly in abeyance. A'd. W. Dover, of the 34 Ward, ably advocated prompt and decided action, and no more evasion on the subject. Let gentlemen evince their opposition by ti:cir votes, and not by entangling the mai question by amendme ‘This was meant particularly for Alderman Waterm h, Who introduced @ provision to refund the paid by the butchers before the ordinance takes On this provision there was a vast deal of discus. Ald. W. Dover as an amendment to this pro jast and equitable.’ The question being taken on this amendment and lost, 6 to 11. The question was then token on Ald, Warenman’s provision, and lost, 6 to Ih. The question was then taken on the first section as amenvi- ed, and carried by a yoteof 10 to7—those members voting the affirmative as follows, viz :—Ald. Westurvelt, Nesbit!, W, Dodge, Adams, Atwill, Nesh, Browne, Ward, Evqui i, and Brady—-10 members. ‘The other 7, Mesrrs. Wil. ams, Waterman, |C. J.

County Court, Tvuespay, 4P.M., Dec. 20.—Thia body met this after. noon, pursuant to adjournment, to hear the speeches of thetwo concluding counsel, Messrs. Lord in the defence, and O'Connor for the prosecution. Mr. Lord commenced his argument at twenty-five minutes past four o’clock.— It was an admirable specimen of forensic eloquence—able, clear, logical and sound. It was based first upon the righta of all citizens to vote—second, that vagrancy is not a criminal offence, buc a misfortune, and that the impri- sonment is not punitive, but charit y of the magistrate to relea-e the priso: in order that he may exercise his political rights. Asa whele, his speech was listened to with intense interest, and produced an evident effect. Mr. O’Connor made a very able speech, but appeare! to labor through it as an up htt work. He concluded at a quarter beforeten o'clock, when the court was cleared for private deliberation. The court then concluded to ad- Journ till Wednesday week.

It was proved that accused was caught with one of his hands in the pocket of Marquis, and also that the pocket hook of the latter, containing four five pound sterling notes was stolen atthe time. None of the articles stolen were found in possession of prisoner, and he proved by Mr, Felt, for whom he had worked as a stationer, that he was asober and industrious man. idence strong against him the jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the court senten him to the State prison for four yeors andten months. He was tried at the Jast term fora similar offence under the name of John Long, and acquit. ted. Shop Lifting.—A black woman named Mary Skinner, was tried on a charge of grand larceny, for stealing @ piece of silk valued at $46 {com the store of Messrs. Donnelly, Street, on the 13th October.

Burglary the First Degree.—A black boy, named Wa. Henr: as Anderson, was tried for burglary in the first degres, in entering the store of John F.C. Holling, 118 Greene street, on the 18th of November, and stealing two muskets and ral decanters. It was proved that the prisoner had musket for sale, but as it was identified by f jury acquitted hin . him—he was remanded to prison. Robbery in the First Degree.—Jobn Hays was then put upon his trial for robbery in the first degree, iu having on the 26th of November last obtained $17 in bank notes from acountryman named Aaron Waldron,of Albany bp it in an auction store, at 155 Chatham street. The affidav! of Waldron was read to the Court, in which he st he pur wed @ lot of articles at auction, which sed were bid off at $6,00, but afterwards was pi with a bill for $100, which he was requeste reusing, the sum of $17 was ol hs leges, by threats. ‘The case was opened for defence, and the Court then adjourned to this morning, at 11 o’clock. Licentious French Novels—Paul de Koek, &e. de Twas much gratified with your remarks in yes terday’s Herald, in reference to the demoralizing effect the cneap literature of the day, particularly the French translations of licentious authors, Te re- joice that you have had the boldness and indepen- dence to take hold of this subject, for stringent mea- sures have hecome actually necessary to check the demoralizing effect of these profane and indecent publications. But l can assure you, sir, the reading of this kind of literature, is not confined to the youth alene. Older and more experienced heads, appear to delight in making the originals of there particular kind of works, their exclusive study un- der the plea of instruction in the French language. ‘There are several families, which I have lately visi ted, where I have found the ladies not remarkable for youth, either pouring over these libidinous pub- lications with a zeal and apparent satisfaction, which no pure mind surely would evince. Much hasbeen said of Jate, about filthy and licentious prints, calcu- jated to excite the passions and corrupt the mind. But a real gentleman or lady, would as soon see one of them on acentre table, as a French edition of Paulde Kock, Gustavus, or the works of Madam George Sands. Beside destroying the purity of the mind, the effect is pernicious in other, respects, Much, very much of the dirty scandal of the day, originates with the lovers of this kind of literature ; and you will generally find tose who are in the habit of making these works their constant or even occasional s.udy, have reputations for ecandalizin, tale-bearing, and in fact complete walking (an generally lying) chronicles of the day. With such persons origina e stories of improper interviews and indelicate positions of some gentleman and lady, whom they wish, and of course possess a heart suf" ficiently corrupt to injure. It would, therefore, be right to warn every person against the society of such females, or even males, who are known to be in the habit of reading such base publications. I trust, dear sir, you will follow up the good work you have so well commenced, until the terrible evi rooted out of this community, Cc. Anotner Scutrror.—Soen after Hiram Powers left us, Clevinger arose to fill eae Clevinger also is cn and in the very land of Art, the two kindred spirits are now filling their souls and fi ioning their minds from the Beautiful and the True of other davs, and working, as we trust, for immor- taility. Clevinger is preseing upon Powers with a manly ambition, though with a co ae itis no slight to say, that hardly can be realized. But while the honored two are thus engaged beneath the genial sky of Italy, stiil another is rising here in the back- different members of the Board. All the amendments of | woods—now kindred in genius with them, and son seemed intended to em- to be glidly hailed by them asa brother. We refer ao Mr. Thomas DP. Jones, who has recently modeled a bust of one of ourcitizens, (Mr. John H. Coleman, proprietor of the stone-cutier’s yard on the corer of Seventh and Race sireets,) which is tull of most ex- cellent points. Asa likeness it is very striking—and in i's mechanical execution it seem to us to be al- most faultless, Its anatomy, so fe ras we are capable of judging, is quite accurate, and its whole look life- lke. ‘The position given to the head is extremely bold, and the finish of the hair and drapery evinces a hand capable of executing the nicest conceptions of the soul by which itis moulded. This is saying a good deal; for it is the first effort; but not more than Mr. Jones deserves,and nothing but whet he will bear without injury,nor so iuch ash+ will make good by future efforts. Every one of our citizens who takes amy interest in works of art, remembers the small shanty on the south-east corner of Race and Seventh streets, where he beheld the earliest modelings, and the first rude chiselings, of the hand of Clevinger. Here, in the same humble. partment, Mr. Jones may be found giving hisdays, like Clevinger, to the work- ing of grave-stones, and his leisure hours, like his pre- decessor again, to fixing in clay and in stone the con- ceptions of his imagination. We have model of which we have spoken, Mr. J.’s first ef- fort. This, we believe, is not quite correct. He hid previously cut figures, in his regular employ- ment, and had executed a bust of General Harrison 1n_ stone, from one of the plaster casts from the bust of Clevinger. He has since thrown that aside, on account of its obvious defects, and begun another, with such improvements in the likeness as have been suggested to him by the best paintings of the General. This is now wholly blocked out, and the lower part of the face finished. To say that it is su- perior to the original bust by Clevinger, would not do justice to it; itis very much superior, not only as a likeness, but in mechanical execution. The bust of Mr. Coleman, however, is Mr. Jones’s first effort at modeling from life ; and it is not too mach to say of it, thatit is the best first effort that has been made by any of our artists.—-Cincinnati , zell FRENOM!S HOTEL. 4 9 : ber xv pleted apotl o HUsceh No. et Chaihuta ‘sereet and encigely earted we ta novel and migaificeut style, reapecttully offers ite attractious fitted up with lodging . nd replete with everymps tment eaten lated tw add io the Convemenee and comfurt of .
