New York, Monday, March 30, 1946. Mails for Europe. The letter bags of the steamship Hibernia will close in this city to-morrow afternoon. The ship will leave Boston on Wednesday. We shall issue an Extra Herald for this steamer at an early hour to-morrow afternoon. The third edition of the Weekly Herald, containing all the intelligence of last week, can now be had at the office, in wrappers, ready for the foreign mails. The price of the latter is sixpence per copy. Monarchy in Mexico. The proposition which has been started to esta- blish a monarchical government in Mexico, is gaining ground in various quarters. It was ftirst started in the public press, by the London Times, a print bitterly opposed to free institutions, and has since been sustained by the leading men of France, and by several journals in Spain, and discussed among the Mexican people themselves, led off by Le Tiempo in the city of Mexico. One party in that unhappy country, is desirous of maintaining the existing form of government; the organs of this party are the Memorial Historico and other papers. The other side is principally sustained by the Tiempo, which contends that the | only hope for the peace, welfare, and eatety of the | country, is the immediate adoption of a system | resembling, in its fundamental principles, the plan of Iguala. The prominent features of this celebrated | plan, are the following, which we find in the | Picayune :— | Aar.4.

Tirrell The community were astonished yesterday, on the whose trial for the murder of Maria Ann Bicktord) | at Boston, occupied their attention for some days | baek, had been aeq7i.ted by the jury. We saw every- where little knots of people talking the matter over; and there was but one opinion, and that was, that it was a most extraordinary verdict. There ever was, in the history of crime, in the minds of many, a clearer case of cool, premeditated, and de- liberate murder, perpetrated by an abandoned and profligate man. ‘The circumstances of the case are briefly these : Tirrell and the victim were persons of abandoned character. One was living apart from his wife, and the other from her husband, and both had been co- habiting in adultery for a long time previous to the murder. Alter continuing in this adulterous con- nection for some time, and travelling over the coun- try, we find them in a house in Boston, where Maria Ann Bickford was murdered. They had retired for the night; the inmates of the house had discovered a fire in the chamber, and heard | the footsteps of some person escaping. After ex- tinguishing the fire, they found the body of Maria Ann ‘Bickford partially burned, and her throat cut in an awful manner. Oo making further search, several articles of apf arel belonging to Tirrell were found, and the wash basin showed evidence of some person, whose hands had been bloody, hav- ing washed in it. Svon after the discovery ot the fire, Tirrell was seen in another part of the city, endeavoring to hire a conveyance to take him out of town as soon as possible. Suspicion immediately fastened on Tirrell as the murderer ; officers were in pursuit of him, but he effected his escape to New Orleans, where he was arrested and brought back to Boston for trial. The deiendant engaged most eminent counsel, and pleaded a novel defenoe. The first plea was that the victim committed suicide; and secondly, that Tirrell was a somnambulist from his youth— and if he really committed the murder, he did 1t aavviad amt | Wave Vato Cones Snwtnn Saan—- en | fe:ment lately in the medical worid, im regard toa | National Convention, which 1s to be held in this eity,.in the month of May next. The ostensible purpose for which this convention is to be assem- bled, is to endeavor to devise m-ans for the raising of the standard of medical education .in this coun. try, which the gentlemen who originated the call for the meeting, complain of being at a very low ebb. The proposed convention is to be composed of delegates from all the medical collegea in the United ‘States; and it appears that several ol them have al- teady responded to the call, and will be in attend- ance at the appointed time. The result of this convention will be a matter of considerable interest to the profession at large; and whether the standard of medical education be raised or not, we trust they will look into many of the abuses to which the profession isnow subjected, and devise some means to curb the insolence of the nu- merous quacks that now prey upon the community. Regarding the matter of education, that will be pro- bably quite a matter of dispute ; the requisites for the attainment of a diploma in most of our medical col- leges now is, the student having studied medicine three years, and having, during that time, attended two full courses of lectures at some medical college ; if, at the end of that time, he can pass a satisfactory examination before the facultv of the college that he has attended, he is invested with the degree of M. D., and duly licensed to practice. In some of the States—this one among the number—the practice of medidine is open to every one—that is, the law will authorise any one to collect fees for advice given or surgical services performed. In other States the mam) who has invested his time and money in studying | festo addressed to the his profession, and has obtained his diploma, is the only one who can, by law, collect his fees. Thus, 1 | is fair to presume that those who, in this State, go to the expense of a regular medical education, do so with the purest motives; as, did they feel inclined, the law of the land would justify them in practicing without submitting to this ordeal. Agreat deal might be said, nevertheless, about [ae ot the 7th inst.

The accounts, subse- quent to this event, are contradictory, and we await daily the receipt of intelligence which may be relied upon. One account represents President Pierrot advancing against the literally soi: Riche; with a considerable body of faithful troops ; other aecounts say that Pierrot has abandoned the field, and peaceably resigned his high office to to Riche.

What security have the citizensof Mas- and another next, until the whole is within our af- frctionate embrate, —— Axmine America.—Arming the country 1s | like building up a strong embankment against | some powerful and mighty river, which might | otherwise break loose and spread over the | country, carrying desolation wherever ti went, and sweeping off houses, cattle, barns, fields, and human beings. Arming the country is not war—it is literally a prophylacteric—that is, a guard aad preventive of war. For nations are like in- dividuale—they do not attack the strong and secure; they fear them, and keep aloof, watching for a weak point before they will venture to attack them. Therefore, arming the country is truly considered | e much more a symptom and guaranty of peace than his at 18 @ signal or demonstration of war. Again: Arming the country will be a benefit to the country, because it will set in motion the arms of the country—the strong, sinewy arms of our nu- merous mechanics and workmen, who have been | tor some time idle in our navy and ship yards, in no very desirable “‘ inact:vity.” Arming the coun- try produces all the good which can result from | war, without any ef its evils. It gives employment to merchaats, mechanics, engineers, and all classes of men. It sets in motion an immense capital, which is made to flow in the on!y healthy channel in which capital can flow, and that is, the employ- ment of labor. In all points of view, arming the country 1s a good thing. We might enlarge the view, and fill a volume with the enumeration of its good effects; but we abstain, taking 1t for granted Row, as proved enough. Since, then, arming the country is in every aspect good and necessary measure, at all times—but most especially at this time, when other nations are armed and have been arming, capa pré—we are glad to perceive that Congress is about to realise in practice what we have shown above in theory to be so desirable. The following is, as far as at pre- sent can be understood, the official estimate of the Proposed “‘ arming” measure. In men, it is proposed to augment the navy by an addition of 36,800 sailors. The expenditure to be made to carry out this increase, and other naval enlargements, $20,000,000. The increase of vessels in commission is estimated at the following Tatio:— — . ates ot War. . . Making an increase of fifty-eight vessels of war! At the same time the Secretary of War has furnish- 0 ao ed his estimate, making an increase in the army to | a the amount of 50,000 men. These are measures which the Herald specifically stances ? and expressly recommended six months ago. We Tejoice in jt. First—because it will keep off war. Second—because it will give activity and employ- | monwealth. We had no such plea as somnambulism puzzles us to see how they | could possibly arrive at sucha conclusion. The apparel and cane of the prisoner were found in the room; and that, with the circumstance of the wash | bowl, and the prisoner’s subsequent flight and es | cape when pursued by the officers of justice, forbids such a supposition. We therefore consider the whole defence, and the verdict, as most extraordi- sachusetts for their lives and property, when an | | abandoned villain can enter a house, murder his victim, and employ counsel whose ingenuity and ill will work out hie acquittal, by making | | up a story of somnambulism, or some other | humbug? We have, in this, a precedent that | will be followed in the same manner that the plea } of insanity was, for years tocome. Every murder- | er will, hereafter, plead somnambulism as an ex- cuse, or some other equally shallow defence, which the fertile ingenuity of counsel may coin, if he be | fortunate enough to be tried in Boston. He may phis finger atthe law and judge, and repeat crime. All that is necessary, is to get his mo- ther, or grandmother, to prove that he got up and | walked 1n his sleep, when he was young, and made | anoise resembling, no matter what, as if he was | posed to think that the plea of somnambulism had | its effect upon their minds, and they let it influ- | ence their judgment. | We have never heard so universal a condemne- | tion as there 18 of the verdict of the jury in this case, since the time of the Ellen Jewett tragedy in this city, to which this case was similar in every res- pect.
