New York, Thursday, August 5, 1847. ———— eae SUMMARY OF AMERICAN NEWS, TO GO BY THE French Line of Steamers. We beg leave to announce to the readers of the New Fork Herald, that wo shall hereafter issue, on the sailing of each and every French steamship from this port, a Hevald for Europe, with agummary of American news printed ip#rench, for the benefit of those in France who are not acquainted with the Anglo-Saxon. This will be s new feature in American journalism, and, as such, may be considered a new step in the pro- gress of newsnapers. Qn all occasions, from the day on which the Herald entered upon its existence to the present moment, it has endeavored to keep up with the successive improvements of the age. It was the first to issue extras, giving ina nut-shell the European news on the arrival of packet ships. It was the first to issue an edition for European circulation, on the departure of every steamship It was the first to take advantage of the great invention of Morse, and use it for the benefit of the newspaper read- ing public ; and it will endeavor to be the first journal to ‘sid in drawing closer the already strong bonds which Bind the people of La Belle France andthe citizens of the United States together, by publishing a resumé of the history gnd progress of the United States, in war. agriculture, steam, magnetism, politics, commerce and finence, from the sailing of one French steamship to that of another, for the use of the French public. ‘We shall start this new piece of enterprise on the day of the departure of the Philadelphia from this port, whioh will be on the 15th inst. Onthatday the Herald for Europe will, in a commercial, political, and monetary point of view, be as interesting to the people of France, as it bas hitherto been to the people of England.

BENNETY’S LETTERS FROM RUROPE. Lonpon, July 17, 1847. The Fears of the English Aristocracy of the Prosperity of the United States—Movements of the Quecn—The Fashionable Season— The Religios of Europe. The last accounts from the United States, which were up to the Ist inst., have created no stir here. The story of the Mexican war, and the entire conquest of that country, with the possession of the capital, are generally received with resignation in public, but with increasing bitterness and chagrin in private political circles. Some of the London journals are beginning to give way to what they look upon as a manifest destiny ; but among the English aristocracy a spirit of jealousy is begining to be awakened to- wards the United States, which never has been felt in any former age. pangs? A few days ago an incidental debate took place ia the House of Lords, during which Lord Ellen- borough and Lord Brougham, both lords of the modern breed, developed this new feeling of dis- like towards the United States, which has grown out of the success achieved in the Mexican war. Ellenborough’s remarks are measured and calm —Brougham’s words are rude and impertinent, accusing the American government of every kind of unprincipled conduct, and couched in the most insolent languag?. These ebullitions may be considered the first symptoms of the new feara which have come over the British aristoc- racy, (which is the government,) at the prospect of the tide of affairs on the American continent The American republic is now acknowledged to be agreat and powerful nation—a nation equal to give a new impulse to the affairs of the world. Lord Brougham’s bitter feelings towards the United States are particularly remarkable. This man isa sort of leaky old womar, who lets out the secrets of the aristocracy in public; and I have no doubt but the recent campaigns in Mexi- co have been frequent topics of discussion with Wellington, and all the leading aristocracy of England. They have taken a sudden alarm at the singular development of.the growth and power of the United States, and begin already to fear the revival in this country of a greater and more dangerous republic than that which France presented at the close of the last century. Lord John Russell, indeed, made a parade of thanks to the United States for the magnificent subscriptions raised for the starving Irish—but it was a forced species of thanks, which he could not well avoid The real sentiments of the British government and aristocracy break out on other occasions, and in other quarters. The brief debate I have alluded to is one—and another took place in the Commons, when Lord Palmerston threatened every’ country with reprisals that did not pay their debts. But the broadest development has come from certain portions of the periodical press; and de- nunciations of the bitterest kind may be now expected for years to come, on the audacity of the United States going to war with Mexico, and particularly for defeating all their generals and all their armies in succession, in opposition to British wishes and predictions. Parliament will soon be brought to a close.— Almost every night the ministry is hastening this event, by anbandoning some measure, ot trying to hasten another. But since the repeal. of the corn laws, not a question is now touched that has any connection with the great progress of civilization or of human rights. The House of Commons, during the whole session, have been engaged in the most meagre or local ques- tions of the day, not one of which touches the real evils of society, or will prevent some terri- ble catastrophe from taking place when the time isa little riper. The Queen and court are now atthe Isle of Wight, but will return to town in a few days,tto dissolve Parliament. Then will commence the electioneering campaign for the next Parliament, during which time the Queen intends to visit Scotland again, and afford Prince Albert a sea- son to shoot grouse on the Highland moors. What the new Parliament will be no one can tell. Allthe old parties are broken to pieces, and J should not be surprised to see anew set of men returned, of more radical and republican princi- ples than have been known since 1628. The spirit of party, and the principles,also, that spring from the old revolution, have both been exhaust- ed, and England is on the edge of a new ocean, with a boundless horison before her. The same muy be said of France and all Europe, as far as the Vistala, but no farther. The fashionable season here is also coming to aclose. Both the Italian operas are yet fully at tended, and it is astonishing to see how wonder fully they draw. But the truth is, the English theatre is considered vulgar and low, and none of the higher classes are ever seen at an English play. All those who reside here, or visi: during the season, who follow the footsteps ot the nobi- lity, imbibe the ideas of taste which guide them, and accordingly only visit the Jtalian opera and ballet. Of course the lower classes only are found at the ordinary English theatres—and this accounts for the low character and vulgar traits which mark the present theatrical literature of England. None of the great actors or actresses of the day make any money in,London; they only make aname, and their only hope of future inde- pendence is in the provinces, or in the United States. The Keans have just returned with a lurge fortune from the United States, and have now retired to 4 country residence in Hampshire. Fanny Kemble has begun a second career, but she made her first appearance out of London She relied on her former reputation, but it is doubted whether she will have much success Lhave a very long and a very curious account NEW YORK HERALD. ae = wherever | have been—in France, in Italy, in Germany, in England, and elsewhere. Christians—Protestant and Catholic ; but in point of piety and morality, I am persuaded there is very little difference between them. There is more real religion in the United States; and this arises from the fact, that there every sect have to support their own clergymen. But in Europe, the utmost indifference, if not something worse, exists among the great mass of the population towards all religion. Both high and low, edus » | cated and ignorant, exhibit this indifference, almost amounting to unbelief. Throughout the continent—in Italy, France, Germany—both Ca- | tholic and Protestant—the old churches are ex- hibited at all hours, as curiosities, for hire; and the very clergymen pocket the money thus col- lected from the travellers. None seem to go to church to perform their devotions, except old women, old mev, and young children. The kings, emperors, and other high official person- ages, of both sexes, affect to be pious, and attend religious services ; but the great bulk of the edu- cated and intelligent are just «s indifferent as the same classes were in the old Roman world, in the age of Augustus. This leads many to suppose that the present spirit and system of Christianity have nearly expired, and that we are on the verge of some new revelation that is required to set the world afresh on its legs. There is a sect of Hebrews in Paris who say that the Messiah is now positively coming. Currie Tux TeLeerarn Wires. We find the following paragraph in the Boston Traveller of the 8d inst :— It will be remembered that the telegraphic communi- cation between Boston and New York was interrupted soon after the arrival of the steamer yesterday. It now appears that the wires were deliberately cut, and that offending parties were rogucs in broadcloth, and per- haps speculators in breadstuffs. Yesterday forenoon, a pened of laborers upon the Worcester railroad were pro- ceeding in a hand car from Newton to Needham, und had nearly reached a deep cut. a mile or so from Need- ham depot, when they perceived two or three men with a stick forced in between the two telegraphic wires, which they were attempting to twist, so as to break tho wire. ‘The laborers immediately got off from their car and en- deavored to approach the wire-breakers without being seen, in order to arrest them. Just as they got within a short distance, however, they were observed by the guilty parties, who immediately plunged into the woods near by. ‘They were pursued by the laborers, who, how- ever, lost track of them, but found a horse and chaise tied toatree Determined that they should not escape, a strict watch was kept upon the woods for several hours. At length voices were heard, and a man ap- peared, genteelly drersed. who was immediately accosted with the inquiry whether the chaise belonged to him. He answered no, and before the laborers could make up their minds to arrest him, decamped. Late in the after- noon, the chance of capturing the wire-cutters was Byes ug ; the horse and chaise, however, were left in the ‘woods, id remained there this morning. Sreamsuie GvapELQuiver.—This vessel, un- der command of Capt. Hosken, which was an- nounced to leave Liverpool for this city on the 20th of July, will not, we understand, sail until the 10th inst., and therefore may not be looked for before the 25th or 26th. Wuerr is Kirrery?—In answer to this ques- tion, the Portsmouth (N.H.) Gazette of the 3d inst., says, in part:— ‘The New York Herald is surprised that the construc- tion of the new war steamers should have been ordered at Kittery, and enquires—“ Where ia Kittery?” If the editor will take a trip this way we will soon show him The New Hampshire Navy Yard,” which exGovernor Colby spoke of in his first and last message, is situated in Kittery. It is situated on the eastern bank of the Piscataqua, opposite Portsmouth. Stare Exxcrions.—Congressional elections are to be held today in North Carolina, ‘Ten- nessee and Virginia. Theatricals. Panx Tueatar.--If last night gave token of the fu- ture, the manager will have np reason to complain of the theatrical season which has just opened at the Park. Going in before the curtain rose, we had an opportuni- ty to observe the painting, Ke. of the interior of the house. Since the last season, a new face has been put upon every thing, from pit to dome, drop curtain, prosce- nium and all have been painted with new designs, and every thing made as comfortable as possible in and about the boxes. The opera of “Linda of Chamouni”’ in En- glish, drew almost, if not quite, as full a house as did the Italian opera, when produced at the same place. The prima denna, Madame Anne Bishop, was warmly wel- comed when she firstcame out, and when she had given evidence of her vocal powers and musi- cal skill, the applause of the audience was in- creaved to enthusiasm. Some of her arias were enoored and bouquets in profusion were thrown upon the stage by her delighted auditors. At the end of the second act she was called out and came before the cur- tain to receive the congratulations of the assemblage Her voice is set down ss soprano afogato, pure avd expressive. She certainly rings with much feeling, avd her time is unexceptionable. It is of course impossible to say, upon one bearing only, what sort of abiding im- pressions she will lave; but of the first imprersion we must speuk favorably. Mr Frazer, as Vicomte de Sirval, Mr. Brough as Antonio, and Mrs. Bailey, as Picrotto, all acquitted themselves well and were handsomely ap- plauded by their hearers. We shall speak of their merits separately hereafter. In the farce, Mr. Bass and Mrs. Vernon were welcomed with the warmest mani- festations. Bowery Tueatne.—The bill of last evening, drew to- gether a vast crowd to the Bowery. In “ Gilderoy, or, the Riever’s Ransom,” Mr. Marshall as Gilderoy, sus- tained the part with admirable effect. Mr. C. Burke as Andrew Cloutem, kept the house in a continued roar of laughter. Old Bowery was filled to o’erflowing, from pit to gallery last evening, and the entertainments passed off with much eclat. On this evening will be presented «La Bayadere, or the Maid of Cashmere,” aleothe “ Naiad Queen,” and the petite comedy of “Ole Bull,” inwhich Miss Turnbull will appear. ‘The attractions at this popular theatre have always been duly appreciated, andno doubt we shell have a bumper house this even: ing. CuatHam Tueatne.—The entertainments last eve- ning drew together a vast crowd of spectatofs, attracted not alone by the excellent bill, but by the high reputa- tion of the dramatis persone, The travestie of “ Ham- let,” written by J. Poole, Esq, was produced with admi- rable effect. Mr. Brougham as Hamlet, and Mr, Whi- ting as Claudius, kept the house in contiaual laughter during the performance. Mrs, Brougham as Opbeita sustained the part with exoellent effect. The entire performances passed off in a manner highly creditable to the whole company. ‘This evening will be presented the “ Trumpeter’s Daughter,” the travestio of “Hamlet,” and the “Irish Lion.” Go and see, Pamo’s Orena Hovse.—In consequence of the opening of the Park Theatre, or some other reason, there was not 80 good an audience as before, to witness the dancing and exercises of the Lehman family. However, the per- formance went off very well, and all the persons present were delighted with the sweet graces of M'lle Adelaide and her sister Mathilde. Charles Winther made, on the tight rope, a magnificent disp his agility ; and in the pantomime * L’ Arbre Magique,” Christian Lehman the Débureau of the troupe, excited bursts of laughter, and was received with greatappiause. We must not for- “La Jota Aragonese,” by the four M’lles Lehman, and * Table ivans,” by MM. Winther and C. Leh- man, with M'lle Caroline, There was « piece worthy of the ancient statuary. ‘The performance of this evening consists of the first performance of the well knowa pan- tomime, “Mr. Déchalumeaux,”” dances by the M'lles Lehman, wnd the “Living Skeleton,” in which Christian Lehman is so funny. We hope the attraetion will be trong enough to favor the French ballet with a good oure. Castie Ganpex.—This evening Herr Cline’s benefit comes off, and ifa varied and interesting programme be an inducement to the admirers of vocal, musical, and dramatic performances, there is every reason to think that Castle Garden will be well filled this evening. So- veral eminent artists have volunteered, among whom are Mr. G, Loder, Mr. Marks, Mr. W. Barnes, and John Dunn. During the intermission, the Chinese junk will be itluminated. and ® grand display of fireworks will b exhibited on boi This, together with the regular business of the theatre, will form a rich evening’s enter- tainment. The amusements will eommence with the burletta of “Whirligig Hall,” in which Holland and Mirs Clarke will sustain seven characters. A beautiful performance on the corde elastique, called the “Carni- val of Venice,” will be given by Herr Cline; after which, & musical melange, Duo Concertante, violin and piano, airs from “La Somnambula,” by Messrs.

The day was agreeable, and several of our citizs made for the different watering places in our immediate vicinity, amongst whom we noticed some of the principal officers connected with the board of Common Council. We wish them an agreeable trip, go where they may. rsh y of a Case or Inranricipe.—Coroner Walters held an inquest at No, 11 Prince street, on the coloured female infant found in the sink attached to the house. From the evidence taken on the inquest, it ap- pears that Maria Neal, (colored) was employed a8 8 ser- vant; yesterday she complained of not being well, and to bed earlier than usual; the family not sus- pecting that her sickness arose from avy unusual ca' prepared ‘some warm teas for her, and caused her to soak er feet in warm water. Yesterday morning a member of the family went to her room, and enquired how she felt. Maria said she felt no better. About 11 o'clock in the day, a little son of the lady of the house came into the room and asked bis ma what was doing. She answered him, thet she was making gruel for Maria. He remarked, “why,ma,Maria was on the floor all night, and { heard a noise like a child ora kitten; Maria told me that the noise was from # kitten.” This excited the sus- picion of the lady that there might be something wrong. An examination led to the disvovery of «child in the sink. Maria on being charged with being the mother ofthe child, at first denied it, but soon after confessed that it was hers, told who the father was, and said that tne child was dead, and that she did not know what to do with it except to throw it into the sink. The infant was full grown and had healthy appearance. A post mortem examination showed that hild had been alive since birth; the bones of the right side of the skull were ex- tensively fractured. The jury rendere: verdict that death was caused by violence inflicted at the time of birth, or soon after, by Maria Neal, the mother. Maria Néal, the unfortunate mother, is a native of Jamaica, one of the West India Islands. Her parents are repre. sented as being in good circumstances. She left them, and came to this city about a year , with Mr. Turn bull, residing in the Second Avenue, in whose family she has resided until within the last four months. She was arrested and commited to prison. ‘Tue Punic Sewens.—We were gratified to observe the spirit with which those excellent and useful vehi- cles for the removal of filth and nuisance are progressing, in visiting Fulton, James, and several of our principal streets, yesterday. A larger force, would, however, ex: pedite the matter a good deal, and we would recommend the contractors to employ the hands forthwith. Common Councu,—The Board of Assistant Aldermen hold a special meeting this evening, for the purpose of disposing of the unfinished business they have on hand, prior to theirsummer recess. ‘The ordinance authorizing reorganization of the medical department of the Alms House, adopted by the Board of Aldermen, will, doubt- Jess, be concurred in this evening, as also the action of the Board on the subject of giving out the cleaning of streets by contract. Several other matters of interest, connected with the affairs of the last and present Com- mon Counell, are expeoted to come up for discussion, at the close of which the Board will adjourn until Septem er. Cuunese Junx.—We see an absurb paragraph going the rounds of some papers, inthe shape of an extract purporting to be taken from the London Iilustrated News, stating that the Keying, the Chinese Junk, had arrived in England. To the many thousands who have visited her at her moorings at Castle Garden here, this story is of course absurd,and the many more who will visit her, will see at one glance that it is false. We trust that she will not leave us yet awhile; the noble mandarin, clever artist, and amusing crew that she has on board, not to speak of the wonders of her construction, all combine to form a moat interesting morning’s visit. From the eyes in her bows, to the ut- termost end ot her huge rudder, she is one continuous curiosity; in fact,like eve ing Chinese, she shows the curious Ingenuity of their works, though at the same time, evincing how much unnecessary labor th take on themselves in doing things which more eulig] ened nations or rather nations who have had more inter- course with the reat of thé world,do with half the trouble. Pixasune Excunsion.—Tho Boutonka pleasure party, numbering seventeen, going to Albany and Troy in the schooner Coquette, from Philadelphia, came outside, having left on Saturday. They will return again by the same route. ‘The excursion will be truly agreeable. Bosrow Finemex —A very handsome snd superbly finshed hat, was presented last evening by Capt. Davis, of Perkins Engine Company, Boston, to Fire Co. No. 20 of this city, at the Shaka Hotel,as a token of regard, and in testimony of their appreciation of the hospitable attentions lately extended to them during their stay in this city. Agnivat on Enrcrant Passencens.—The number of emigrant passengers arrived at this port during Tues- day last, amounted to 1036. Founp in tHe Water.—The Coroner held an inquest: upon the body of an unknown inan, about 40 years ol:1, who was yesterday found in the East River, ‘near slip No, 10, “Phe deceased is supposed to have been em- ployed as & laborer on the piers along shore. Verdict— denth by drowning. Sporting Intelligence. Union Counse (L. 1.) —Trottino.—Lady Suffolk and Moscow contend this afternoon for a purse of $250, 1! former to a wagon, and the latter to asulky. ‘This fair has created considerable excitement in the sporting circles for the last few days, and a numerous attend- ance at the track may be anticipated. Moscow is now in excellent condition, and the advantage of vehicle which he will have over Suffolk, leads numbers to be- lieve that his chances of winning are good; atall events, the betting at this time is more equal than it was previ- ous to the last contest. Previous to the above, there will be a trotting match for $500, between ch. m. Maggy, and b. g. Manhattan, mile heat, best three in five, to ton wagons. For further particulars, see advertisu ment in another column. Reraatta.—A regatta will take place this afternoon from the foot of Montgomery street, E. It, for seventeen feet working boats, with one pair of sculls. Great inte- rest is taken in this affair, as several of our best o: will give exhibitions of their skill and dexterity in * f thering the oar,” A Five Mice Foor Race against Time.—Pursuant to the announcement contained in the 7 of last week, John :Steeprock, the celebrated “ fast’ Indian, camo up to our village on Thursday to run a race of five miles against time, the time being limited to 30 minutes; and we simply give expression tothe “say so” of a large number of spectators when we state that a handsomer exhibition of fleetness, or one better sustained through- out, has seldom, if ever, been witnessed. The track selected was accurately chained off by surveyor, and extended a half mile, east, on Genesee street, from the corner of Summit street—the larger ortion being upon the board side-walk, which is much Parder tore upon than the soft, sandy walk extending the remainder of the distance. At twen e minutes before 5 o'clock, P.M., Steeprock, dreseed in # close-fitting net shirt and drawers, with a hilt reaching from the loins half way to the knee, made his appearance at the starting post,and, after noting the time with persons designated as judges, immediately * put out” on his five mile errand. He “led off” with perfect ease, at a long “lope,” in true Indian style, searcely varying it through the first mile, which was complished in 630. ‘The second mile differed in note of its features from the first, except that the time was a litle shorter—6 10. The third mile was much like the second, being run with the rame ease and regularity — time 612, Onturning and entering upon the fourth mile, his friend, Mr. Ely Parker, ran by his side some thirty or forty rods, and gave him afew drops of refresh- ment. ‘The writer, in a buggy, kept nearly opposite Steeprock,to the turning post, and on reaching it, was surprised to see him run some fifteen rods further ou, and calling to him to turn, showed him the half-mile post, which. through inadvertence, had been placed on the wrong side of the road. Several gentlemen, who had taken position there to witness the race, stated that he had run to the same spot the three previous miles, In order, therefore, to give the aboriginal gentleman air psy, sho distance was lessened 22}4 rods, which, out and in, gave him 43 on his last mile. The speed ‘was somewhat accelerated throughout the fourth, and Mr. Indian came home, nimble as a degr, in 5 min- utes 4seconds. The running thus far left it consider- ably in doubt whether he would win the race. This fact was communicated to him by Parker, who again ran by his side # few rods, for the the purpose of administering “@ little more grape,’’ and telling him he muat “fire up” or he was a “gone-er' No sooner said than dove! John at once commenced picking up his ‘tootys” in « hurry and wasright off—he was; running as easily and gracefully as adeer, showing the clean bottoms of his pumps at every bound, making the jumps as regularly and acourately as clock work, crowding on steam as the distance diminished, and running the last mile in four minutes and thirty-five second! and the whole five miles in 28 minutes, 31 seconds. Making am allowance of say six seconds each for time consumed in making nine: ge stops at the end of each half mile, and going a rod beyond, each time, and an additional allowance of fiveor six seconds consumed in holding up to kick a dog, which was running and snapping at his heels, ,' actual time in running the race. to the best estimate that could be made by iy \tiemen—and there was not, to our knowledge, staked by any one the fair running time was twenty seven minutes and thirty seconds. Batavia, Tvmee to court. Mr. Purroy opposed the a] plication, on the ground that le was uascomary to bring them into court, until the question of res judicata was first dis of, and also, that there was an undefstand- ing to tl fect, between the counsel on both sides, at the last meeting before Judge Edmonds; he broadly hint- ed that he apprehended a rescue. After hearing Mr. Jay, Judge Edwards thought there was no necessity have them in court until the question res judicata was decided, Mr. Purroy then proceeded to argue the case t great length, and insisted there was no new te of facts or change of relation between the al master, case had been solemnly decided aby Judge Daly, which could give Judge Edwards any jurisdiction, and cited various au- thorities. In support of his argument he principally re- lied on Barry’s case, decided by the Court of Errors, and a resolution entered on the Senate journals, that a writ ot habeas corpus once disposed of, where the par- ties were the same, and no new state of facts put in is- sue, could not be re-open: Mr. Jay replied to Mr. Purroy. contended first, that the decision of Judge Daly, was ex perene who pretended to re nt slaves before im, had no authority,—that they, the slaves, were uot present, and even if they were, they did not understand the language and could not know what was going forward. He also insisted, that before Judge Daly had given his decision, he withdrew the writ. And lastly, that under the new Constitution the Judges of the Common Pleas had no power to issue the writ of habeas corpus. In the course of his nt Mr. Jay read an answer to the return to the writ of habeas corpus, which consisted of the joint affidavit of the two slaves, Da Rocha and Da Costa; they alleged that after they were returned to their master they were put in irons, and that he threat- d to flog them. He, Mr. Jay, contended that this was & new feature in the proceedings which was not before Judge Daly, and altered the relationship of the parties. After Mr. Jay had concluded, it was then four o'clock and further proceedings were adjourned to this morning. “In CHampens—Befo amIn re Rickard Woodh Wood! te,—that the Edmond. , July Weodhead”-Ou the 2ouk of Sune last, com: ed from Jreland, " lodgings in search of is) », Whicl 'y is a sort of hospital, where out-door patients are prescribed. for e In the course of his walk he meta police! to direct himto a hospital, man Tomb: went there aj hospitai the usual mo sion to th tati ove di d. saling some ions, drew up a commitment, vag itentiat oathsome disease, ‘where he, has brought up this morning, Judge Edmonds, He wi and upon the faets being stated t sharged himat once. ‘It seems that days before his commitment by at OF Workman, anid Was tO KO 1g Saturda: ‘The foregoing appeared in your paper of Sunda; last, and was also published in mort, inet all, of the morning papers of Monday. I cannot say | regret it, 1n- asmuch as it affords me the opportunity of disabusing the public in respect to one of the many imputations which have been cast upon the Court, and with so lit- tle reason. 1t would appear that Woodhead was dis- charged upon his own statement of alleged facts, ag sworn to by him in his petition, upon which the writ was granted, but which do ndt appear upon the record. I have no sort of objection to any reputation which the Judge who dis- charged him, for acts which may be dictated by human- ity or sympathy, but I have some objection for my own reputation, in the correct discharge of my official duties, well knowing that this alone can be substantially ac- quired or sustained by a faitaful and intelligent admin- istration of the law, which is the only saf-guard of the lag fess and the citizen; and for this reason I have felt it due to myself to show that I have not violated my duty as o magistrate, By the law passed January 23, 1833 (see Sesion Laws of that year), a vagrantis, among other things, designated to be a person who shall have contracted an infectious or other disease, in the practise of drunken- ness or debauchery, and requiring charitable aid to re- store him to health. If the magistrate be satisfied, by the confession of the offender, or by competent testimo- ny, that the person is a vagrant, within the description aforesaid, he shall make up a record of conviction, which shall be filed in the office of the Clerk of Seasions, and shall commit the offender—if an improper person to be sent to the alms house—to the penitentiary, for 1 term not exceeding six months, the confession, record, and commitment, properly certified and annexed, which will show how far the law has been complied with, The idea that Woodhead did not know what he was doing, is abscurd, asit is incorrect. The blanks in the papers were all filled up by Col. Snow, one of the clerks of this court. The confession, which is printed, was laced before him; he was told the’ terms, avd fe sigoed it; and the character of his signatur shows that he was well educated. But be this as it may, it was not a matter that could be en- quired Into by Judge Edmonds; it, belng » wel-rettied principle of law, based upon statutory provisions, that the office of a writ of habeas corpus, is simply to inquire into the legality of the commitment. Nor can the justice before whom the prisoner is brought, go hind the record, or inquire into the merits. In sum- mary convictions, which are in restraint of the comm law, commitment and record which recites in sub- stance the proceedings of the committing magistrates, are revi od by the Justice on the return of the writ; and if there is no error in substance in the proceedings of the former, the prisoner must be remanded; and thers is no power known to the law by which he can be rv- leased, save only the pardon of the Governor. There no pretence that there was any error on my part, or d fect in the proceedings, and, therefore, the discharg: was illegal and —,. There is not a convict in the State prison, who could not be discharged, if this state- ment would be taken, charging that he was wrongfully convicted by the tribunal before whom he was tried Yet such a discharge would be a libel upon the adminis- tration of justice.

[From the Washington Union, Aug. 3.) | ‘We are indebted to an of this corps for tho fol- lowing letter, just received from Vera Cruz :— “Camp Barcape, ean Vena Cavz, July 13, 1847. “ My last letter was dated some two weeks ago. at an- chor off Vera Cruz, and | have no doubt you will all be surprised to learn that we are yet encamped so near the walls of this city. ‘This, however, has been unavoidable, as the stampede, which occurred about the time we land- ed, took 80 many horses away, that it has been impossi- ble until now to make up our train, which is to be large. This, however, has at length been effected; and we shall et under way in all probability either to-morrow or next vey It has been decided that the marines shall hepnant in the rear, which, you know, is one of the posts of honor ona march. This the officers consider asa reat com- ent —especially as we are nearly all of us recruits. “Tsu Com. Pi has determined to keep the ma- rines, which were landed at Tabasco, under bis command. This, he says, he is compelled to do, or to yield Tabasco in into the handsof the Mexicans. The Mexicans, to the number of 1,500, made an attack upon the place about two weeks since, but were repulsed with considerable loss. Everybody gives the marines the greatest credit for their eonduct during the action. A navy offloer, who has obtained permission from the department to join the army, and is going ‘slovg with us, thinks that it would have been impossible to have held the place if the ma- rines had been taken away. Lieut. Kintzing was slightly wounded, “ Our whole force at present is about 340 men, of whom about 70 are on the sick list. Most of the cases are slight, and can be overcome by a little prudence. Our num! of officers is, however, Pretty small. We have now but two officers to four of the companies, and three to the other two, which are flank companies. Capt.
