MINERVA ROOM w York, Wednesday, July 24, 1850, Whe Funeral Solemnities Yesterday. ‘We give, in another part of to-day’s paper, a full aecount of the obsequies of General Taylor, which were celebrated in this city, yesterday. We be- lieve that the procession was larger and longer | then any that we have ever seen in New York. ‘The military display was very fine, and the turn out of the civil societies was very extensive. On the | whole, the solemn pageant reflected credit on this , metropolis. ‘We feel a melancholy satisfaction in the proceed- ings of yesterday. It was delightful to witness the | reverence that was voluntarily and spontaneously | rendered by our eitizens to the departed President, | whom they elected to fill the highest office in their gift, and who was unexpectedly stricken by death while discharging his duties. How differently matters of this kind are con- ducted in Europe! Instead of a general day of mourning throughout the whole country being set part, or rather prescribed, by the government, as | it is there, the inhabitants of our large cities fixed | adey themselves for exhibiting their regret, not fora tovereign whom they had no part in electing, who ruled over them by “ rightdivine,” but forthe chief executive officer ef their government, whom they elevated to the high position which he occu- pied, as @ tribute to his honest integrity and patriot- em. In those solemnities oxr citizens took part, with- out distinction of class, party, or religion ; business was suspended for the day, and all felt that they had lost an honest and faithful publie servant, who, having discharged his duty, was not afraid to die by disease, after being the hero of many battles, and establishing a character as a military man that will be admired for ages to come. New Treaty with Mexico—The Route to Call- fornia by the Tehuantepee Isthmus, Mr. Letcher, the American Minister at Mexico, it has been announced, has succeeded in effecting a treaty with the government of that country, wii respect to the Tehuantepec route across the Isth- mus. It is understood that this treaty is similar, in its character and conditions, to that recently made by our efficient Charge d’Affaires, Mr. Squier, between our government and that of Nicaragua. ‘The documents connected with the affair will soon be placed before the Senate of the United States. ‘The presumption is, that the stipulations do not vary widely from those incorporated in Santa Anna’s decree of the first of March, 1842; and in that of Mariano de Salas, dated the fifth of November, 1846. The former decree contained eleven articles; and the third of the series declared, that the pas- wage across the Isthmus should be neutral and eommon to all nations at peace with Mexico. The government generally made this whole deeree, "pon certain terms, with Don José de Garay, who, it appears, has surrendered, in some way, all the eoncessions originally made to him, to certain citi- zens of the United States residing at New Orleans. By way of distinction, therefore, this may be term- ed a New Orleans enterprize, though the resulta may be 6f ional importance. The treaty was made on the twenty-fourth of last month, and it is calculated to call forth much discussion, as well as to exeite great interest in every part of the country. For many years the idea of makiag an easy route, either by railroad or canal, between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, has arrested the attention, not enly of our countrymen, but the serious in- quiry of several European governments. A ship Tailroad, with a capital of ten millions of pounds sterling, was proposed, at one time, in London, with a view of levying tolls upon all the nations of the earth. This was a gigantic scheme. When the mind contemplates the possibility of taking a ship into a dry dock on the Atlantic shore, of cradling it upon a car with forty-eight wheels, running vpon eight rails, of seeing it transported across the country, and deposited im a dock upon the Pacific, the ingenuity of man be- comes an object of admiration. We are startled with its boldness—though we can scarcely doubt the rationality of its resourees. Vast capital can eccomplish vast results. However, the English plan will not be carried into effect in the present eentury. The French and the Germans have made several surveys of different routes, as well as the English and Americans. That by Tehnan- tepec, may or may not be practicable. Senor Gaetano Moro’s survey gives a highly favorable picture of the country, for the proposed road. From his surveys, it seems that the entire dis- ‘ance from tea to sea, is one hundred and thirty- five miles, ia a right line. It presents a wide plain from the mouth of the Coatgacoalcos to the foot of the Mesa de Tarifa, which is a table land, rising | to six hundred and fifty feet above the level of the | ten, and, at five miles distance, descends again to the plain which reaches the Pacific Near Tehu- | antepec, Moro found two extensive lakes, the outer separated by a narrow sand-bank from the ocean, and the inner and larger communicating with it by a channel between high banks Eight rivers flow into them, and with some improving, ships may find harbors in these waters. From the inner lake, the land rises very gradually to the Venta de Chieapa, thence with a steeper acclivity spon Trrifa—end there is a slight declivity to a river, Which is navigable for ships for the distance of thirty-four miles from its mouth, oa the Gaif of Mexico. Such are the rude outlines of Moro's survey. The resources of the country are immense for timber of the best quality, for building a road. The facilities for cattlefeeding are complete. The soil is prolific, and salt mines are abandant. The | climate is agreeable and mild, and usually eala- brious, The advantages, therefore, for eonstruct- tng a road, cannot be overlooked. In a eom- merelwl and political point of view, however, sach a road would be very desirable, and, could it be made, would add largely to the prosperity of our country. From the mouth of the Mississippi to | Sen Francisco, by Tehuantepec, is one thousand eight hundred and twenty-five miles nearer than by Penema. From New York, fourteen huadred , miles of cea navigation would be saved, were this ; route opened. | Such are the most obvious advantages of this | © route, Others, though not #0 superfici: ly rise, upon investigation. The Galt of Mexico lies chiefly within the jariadiction , of these who would be interested in this route, | and, in a time of war, our commerce eould be carried om, Without any serious apprehension of disturbance from foreign powers. This alone is not an unimportant consideration, and will, we doubt Bot, be amply refleeted upon by our Senatorial body, when they take th sideration. ; Will straighten out this matter. | it. and throwing Mr. H. and wife ont. whole subject into con- ‘With the details of the treaty we are not acquainted, but we are well satisfied that | Ex-Governor Letcher, our minister, who has ar- | | ranged the treaty, has too closely studied his sub- ject to make any mistake as to what is desirable for the present, or possible in the future. Ia this belief, therefore, we trust that the treaty will be ratified and confirmed, without delay. It in no way will interfere with that of Nicaragua, and both routes across the Isthmus are requised. Panama, though short, is unhealthy, and will be abandoned. 7 Arrival of the Ohio—Important Intelligenee from Cuba, The United States mail steamship Ohio arrived at this port, last evening, bringing us very late and | important intelligence from the island of Cuba, having left Havana on the evening of the 19th instant. by this arrival we learn that forty-two of the | American prisoners were set at liberty by the Cuban authorities, on the fifteenth of this month, and that they left on the sixteenth, in the United States steamer Vixen, for Pensacola. We hear further, that ten of the American prisoners have been remanded for trial before the Spanish tri- bunals, on the charge of having invaded Cuba. We fear that this unfortunate business will not end as peaceably a8 we would wish. The forty- two prisoners that were released were in all pro- bability given up on the peremptory demand which was made by the late administration, and the re- lease of the others, probably, as peremptorily re- fused. If our demand for the whole of those pri- soners has been refused, as there is every reason to believe, our relations with that island, or with | the government of Spain, cannot possibly remain unchanged. There may be, indeed, enough against the ten retained to put them upon a trial, accord- ing to Spanish law; but our government cannot look on and see, the hberty or lives of our citizens put in jeopardy by a trial under laws to which they are strangers, conducted according to Spanish forme. We are, therefore, not yet clearof the difficulties copneeted with this question. We have no doubt thet Mr. Fillmore has received despatches by the Obio; and new that we have an administration in ‘Washington who are entitled to the confidence of | the country, we expect that they will take proper meaeures te protegt the rights of the remaining prisoners in Cuba, and see that no injustice be done tothem. We have no doubt that Mr. Fillmore In his hands we are willing to leave it. Tux New Cope—Irs Growine Unporucanrry, ayy Pronarte Rergar.—The new code, which was co suddenly, and, as some say, so thought- lessly adopted by the Leguslature of this State, does not seem to acquire strength or popularity with the monthe or years of its existence. Indeed, we have every reason to believe that the whole profession of the law, with some very amusing exceptions, both the bench and the bar, are opposed to the new code, in consequence of its unsettling, and throwing to the winds of heaven, all the old and well established common sense principles, in both civil and criminal practice, which had grown up by a long succession of intellectual experiments during past ages. It is very well known among practitioners at the bar, and also among a large body of clients, that for many years previous to the abolition of the Court of Chancery, great objections were made to the looseness of its practice, and the uncertainty of its pro- ceedings. In fact, those characteristics of the Court of Chancery had passed into a proverd, such as thet the length ef the Chancellor's foot was the measure of Chancery proceedings and practice. Now, the Court of Chancery was a mere civil law court, very different and very opposite in its prac- tice, to common law jurisdiction and practice; yet it is very well known that the common law practice approached nearer the perfection of good sense, as applied to diffieulties between man and man, than apy other species of practice. The new code, however, like some new issue, came before the country arrayed in all the charms of a first fashion, and at one blow, the unsettled practice of the Court of Chancery, which had given 80 much annoyance for many years, was rendered permanent, and was adopted in the new code, while the old common law practice was hooted at and kicked out of court without any ceremony. But it is not only in practice that the new code has exhibited its deficiencies, increased its unpopue larity, and troubled clients and business men of all kinds. In its civil administration the confusion of the new code increases litigation and expenses tre- mendously; and in the administration of criminal law, the nature of the new code, and those who avuil themselves of its characteristics, have been particularly observed, during the last year or so, in the administration of justice in this State, and par- ticularly in reference to the character of evidence, and the mode in which it is used, got up, prepared, presented to grand juries, petty juries, and courts of justice of all kinds. We have frequently referred to the case of Arlington Bennet, as a matter in point, showing the errors, the blunders, and the in- justice which the practice of criminal law, under the new cede and ite patrons, has effected among us of late. innocent, yet from & combination of rogues and roguery, under the practice of the new code, as respects the chgracter and strength of evidence— herve is an instence of an innocent individual being indicted, incarcerated for six months es a felon in # common jail, and only gaining his liberty after a lovg #nd arduous trial, which ended triamphantly for him, but rather disastrously for the practitioners under the new code of criminal law. Another instance is still before the courts, yet undecided. We refer to that of Drury and son, on the first trial of which similar features were exhibited to thove which characterize the practice ot the law under the new code, in the case first named. Taking the whole of the experiments which have beea made under the new code—both civil and criminal—during the last few months, in this city, there has been growing up a strong conviction in the pablic mind, that while the old eystem required some amendment, its entire abolition, and the eub- stitution of the new code, have worked a revolu- tion that is manifestly leading to the injury of the State, the great detriment of justice, and the wide- spread and utter uncertainty of all law and all practice in the courte of this State. In every branch of practice and every class of cases, intellectual lawyers concur in the opinien, that the new code has already exhibited itself as an ism of a most superlative character—as a modern humbug of a Most unquestionable kind—clearly demanding re- vision, if not a final reveal of the whole system, and the return to the old and certain practice of the law, ond the dispensing of the common sense jus- tice which we were accustomed to for years be- fore the new code got in vogue. We have much more to say on the working of | the new code since its enactment, and many de- tails to give in reference to particular and epecial carer—both civil and criminal—in the courts of this city.
