Perhaps in no case of half the atrocity friends have over-rated him, and the poor man now suffers only the natural effects of their indiscrimi- nating and toadying adulation. It is very amusing, however, to observe the manner in which the peculiar friends of Mr. Forrest attempt to convince the world at large, and Alleghania in particular, that their favorite is the victim of English national prejudice.

We could mention several instances of this, but the glaring case of Miss Cushman renders it altogether unnecessary to du so. One of the most remarkable features in the case of that lady, has been the candid, frank, and generous manner in which the London press has alluded to the fact of her being an actvess, born and educated in this country. She ‘went there without friends, unaided, unheralded, and by tbe force of her own genius, triumphed. Forrest made his debut under the most favorable circumstances; and the very fact of his retirement and arduous preparation for his second appeal to tke tribuna! which had formerly pronoanced upon him a very just, though severe judgment, discovered that he did not himself believe that*‘national prejudice” had alone produced that verdict. It is, to be sure, very mortifying and annoying that he has ugain failed, but his admirers do not, by any means, tin Spencer, of this city. He was in the after cabin of the boat when she struck, and was one of the last persons rescued from it alive. Atthe instant of the shock he was sitting with his young son There were two tre mendous crashes, with but a moment's interval between, and immediately the water rvshed in ina flood, and he, with the boy in his arms, started for the companion way. He wes among the last who reached the stairs. He found hem obstructed by those who were escaping, and bare- ly cleared them before the cabin filled. Very soon the water reached the main deck. Here wasa sad scene of copfusion and terror. The stairs leading to the upper deck were either obstructed or could not be reached, and numbers of the strong and active were escaping the upper deck by lifting themselvzsfto it by means of the strong brace rod that runs across the boat just under the upper deck, ard immediately over the gangway in i 8. raised up little“ boy the rod, and in a few moments saw him climb safely to the deck above, after several narrow escapes. In the meantime,the water upon the main deck where he was standing, had reached to his waist, and a: soon as the boy was safe, he grasped the rod to escape himself. He clung with toth hands for his life, but could not lifthimselfup. A ledy clung to him with her arm overhis shonlder, and he saw others float:n; aboutshrieking forhelp.

The theatrical critics of the British metropolis have only confirmed, injthe,case of Mr. Forrest, the decision of the most discerning judges in this country—a fact which his unsuccessful engage- ments of late in this city and in other large cities of the Union, demonstrates. Bat by all sorts of silly paragraphs in some of the newspapers, and by elaborate and very poctical critiques in such immensely influential journals as the Democratic Review, the toadying admirers ot Mr. Forrest are now endeavoriug to cover over the wounds of a mortified vanity, and the errors of a not very disinterested adulation. The most amus- ing developments are, however, yet tocome. It appears that the little Forrest cligue in this city are preparing for a terrible onslaught on Anderson, who will in a few days commence another engage. ment at the Park! Alleghania isto pay off England for her treatment of Ferrest, by sacrificing Ander: son! This is indeed a funny sort of reprisal, and we therefore await Mr. Anderson’s appearance at the Park with a good deal of interest. vagance, corruption, and infidelity of the old parties -for the whigs, when they had the power, were guilty of the same crimes as their ancient foes, the democrats, though perhaps in a sems- what less aggravated degree—that in the spring of last year, when the cry of city reform was raised on allhands, we took up the ‘‘ native” party, and confiding in their solemn and_ reiterated promises, helped them into that position where they had an opportunity of redeeming their pledges? But in consequence of the ignorance, obstinacy, imbecility and dishonesty of that party of hypocri- tical retormere, we soon found that in seeking de- liverance trom one evil, we had encountered astill greater one. In addition to the negligence, corruy- tion, and unfaithlulness of the oid factions, we were cursed by the new party with intolerance, bigotry and religious sectarianism developed in such a violent and reckless manner as threatened the very existence of society in a state of peace aad order, and which actually did lead, in a sister city to scenes of horror, which must ever stand as a foul blot on the page of our national history. Oa making this discovery we immediately sounded the alarm, and ceased not our efforts, till they were successful in effecting the late revolution. It the past, then, does not present much ground of hope forthe future, is there any thing in the present,—in the circumstances which at this mo- ment press upon, and may be reasonably supposed to influence, the new corperation, that 1s calculated to warrant anticipations of a better state of things in our municipal affairs? We think there is. The success of the “ natives ”—their mieconduct—their overwhelming defeat, have produced one great and salutary moral effect. The great truth has been thus presented and enforced, that no set of men ean retain the power of administering the city government, unless they be honest, farthtul, and upright. Our municipal government is no longer the mere prey of contending factions. Municipal affairs have been in a very great measure dissever- ed from mere party politics. The population of the city has vastly increased within the last few years. New interests of magnitude and power have been created, and a new element has been developed which exerciees a controling influence on the action and conduct of the corporate authori- this extraordinary charge. A man may be both singular and eccentric, and, perhaps, slightly hete- redox in his views, and yet be honeet ; but it isvery problematical whether, with a mind of this cast, he is fit tobe a Judge. We tell him fearlessly, tha’ an expounder of the law may be oftener too weak, too soft—call it merciful if you will—than the re- verse ; and we hardly know what to say to a high legal functionary, who betrays a total absence o the common sense conviction, that itis as much the sacred duty of writers for the public press to detect and expose guilt and ignorance, as to defend inno- cence. And now, having said so much about the press and its duties, it will not be out of place to make a remark or two on another egency, that of Judges and Jurors, which certainly has as many sins to answer for, as many errors to avoid, and as deep a responsibility resting upon it, as any other inthe whole range of society. Why are laws inopera- tive? Why do felons escape? Why do acts of flagrant guilt, which call onheaven for punishment, go scot free; and unhappily, the records of courts of justice in this country, are too good evidences of all this to require a detail of cases? The press has no part or lot inthe matter. No. These sins against society are chargeable against the errors, the indecision, or the unfaithfulness of the bench and the jury box. What matters it whether the intelligent peopl + of this country make good laws» if a Judge, out of self-conceit, his pride of opinion, or some new fangled notions of morals and juris- prudence, wi!l not apply them, nor expound them in their true spirit and tenor; but with a mind per- verted by some puerile notion, or sanctimonious prejudice about capital punishment, circumstantia! evidence, so modify the force and evade the intent of the Jaw, as to make it what, unfortunately, ittoo often proves now-a-days, a dead letter? Just so with jurymen ; they have their full share of blame to bear, if society isto be sinned against with im punity. They are put in the jury box to see that guilt does not go unpunished, and that innocence is not unprotected. They are invested with an honorable and plenary commission to see that the lawa of their country—as they are written in the book—are administered. They are solemnly sworn toattend to the law and to the testimony, and in Consul MONLY MARKE Friday, April 16 2M.

Sunday he isto run a match for $250 aside, on the Meta- rie, against an Indian. The body of a full blooded Cherokee was recently found about six miles east of Evansville, Ark. When discovered he had a knife firmly grasped in his hand, with which he appeared to have fought desperately. Two fingers were found near him, which he had eut off the hand ef his murderer in his struggle for life. The Legislature of Michigan has lately had under con- sideration several petitions praying thatthe laws of the State may be so “ simplified” as to come “ within the knowledge of every person, and that ev: men may be admitted to the bar.” The committe to whom it was re- ferred, reported favorably, and “hailed with undisguived delight such a harbinger ef an approaching millenium.” The following statement of the population and wealth of Lexi 2, fom the assessor's Feport of that city for exington inqui News From Carg Town.—We have received by the Cambrian, at Boston, the Cape Town Gazette of the 7thof February.

Rowing on THE Broominapats Roap.—This road is one of the most agreeable in the vicinity of the city for equestrian exercise. The number of per- sons employed in the humane business of driving poor hack horses to death is comparatively limited on this road, and it is on that account preferable to the Third Avenue. The canine species is here the source of annoyance. From almost every house aod cabin out they rush — Mongrel, cur, and hound of low degree,— as the ¢questrian passes by, and fly at the horse’s heels. In order to get rid of this yelping plague, the ladies who ride on the road offer the prize of a splendid silver medal to the benevolent and gallant man who will devise the best means of exter ting these unmannerly “natives” of the Blooming- dale Road. ‘Heard ye that, my masters?” irer”:—Number of .

This, then, encourages us to hope that the new corporation will avoid the errors and infidelities of the past. There is, indeed, a great deal of work before this corporation. Many most important re- s are to be eflected—a new spirit of vigor and ency 1s to be infused into every department ol the city government, and the tax-payers are to be relieved of a portion of their present excessive commerce with sects and sections of the commu- nity. Forgetful of these great principles, jurors do often err, end judges are not rarely wrong without knowing it. This was the case with Chief Justice Pennefeather, of the Irish Bench, when in the course of the State prosecutions, his zeal agains’ the traversers betrayed him into the involuntary application to the lawyera engaged for the defence, of the phrage ‘‘ counsel on the other side.” We trust there are no such judges here, and if we have tound it necessary to make the charge under cun- sideration,the subject of some strictures, it certain- Sprine 1n Canapa.—In all parts of Canad: vie gation is rapidly becoming free of obstruction.
