Thus we have the clearest in- sight into the causes of the extreme trepidation which the English press, sometimes in the way of bravado, and sometimes in that of prudence and caution, has displayed, since the fears of a revolution instigated a warm discussion in Parliament.

The specifications in such ¢!

Upon this charge I was o} to give bail in $3,000, and, although Lat that time to haye an examination, in — order to show that L was not Sallty of the charges pre- ferred, it was denied, I now reuew the request Uhat my case may be heard before you, believing from the facts hereinafter named that you will not only release my bail from any further responsibility in the matter, but also free me from the c! which now rests against me, by granting me an honorable discharge. My con- nection with the gentlomen arrested is not of such a na- ture as can possibly implicate me in any of their plans, whatever they may be. The facts are, that on or about the 13th of April, [ was introduced to-some of the party. and recommended as being a prop viz., service which they required, hundred aud ffty passengers from South Amboy, N.

We take pleasure in noticing a telegraphic feat performed yesterday between the New York and New Orleans telegraph offices, of the O'Reilly line. The steamer Europa arrived at her dock at half- | past six o'clock in the morning. The offices were | epened at eight o'clock, and a summary of Europe- an news, of two hundred words, was received in New Orleans before nine o’clock—having passed over twenty-five hundred miles of wire. At a quarter past eleven, before noon, despatches were received here announcing this fact, and that the news had been ported at the Exchange, in New Orleans— fivethousand miles having been traversed in three hours! It should be stated, that the summary of the Europa’s news was only re-written three times between this city and New Orleans. The Morse line, on the Atlantic coast, we understand, have mearly completed their arrangements to connect | their circuit, so as to convey intelligence between | New York and New Orleans instantaneously. This | they have eilecgd already, between this city awl Mavon, Cicorgin, and the result promises to be highly favorable to the enterprise of the company which maintains such purposes and threatens such terrible results, is the principal and most efficient organ of North- em abolition, for accomplishing the purposes now openly avowed towards the Southern States. It is apparently under the control of Thomas McEleath a nd Horace Greeley; but it is well known that 3 , though he has the name of being the res- e editor, has but little influence or contro! over the permanent course of that journal. Mr. McElrath, who is engaged in all sorts of specula- tions in stocks, French claims, copper mines, coal mines, and everything else which can gratify ava- rice, possesses the contr 1 of the Tribune, created its organization, and has made it, in connection the Seward portion of the whig party, a more efficient anti-slavery and incendiary instrument than all the Garrisons and other fanatics in every portion of the North combined. With such avowals, and with such an organ, aeting from such motives, is it to be supposed that the south, with euch a terrible alternative presented to it, can stand still, keep quiet, and allow Northern abolition, step by step, year after year, to bring about the results which are now threatened and flaunted in its face ?

Harlem has been hammered pretty hard during the past day or two, by several strong bear operators, and great efforts have been made to depress prices. The only object these parties have in view, is to get prices down to buy in largely. The monthly reports of earnings are too favorable, and the prospects of the company too flatter- ing, to give any encouragement to bear speculators, and those who know that it must ultimately be one of the best paying roads diverging from this city, are anxious e aod Silve h peat to get prices down as much as possible, so as to enable Poo age aad sine imparts we iJ Ly! eles oy them to come in and purchase all they want at the nage toa ardrobe, an interest that renders Indiepensatte le of the attire of a fashionable lady." | Cheapgst rates, As soon as these operators have accom- plished the object they have in view, we may look for greater activity in the stock, anda rapid improvement in the market value, Reading Railroad was barely sustained to-day.
