This Morning’s Summary--The E uropean | News, &ce ‘The intelligence brought by the eteamship Ame- rica will be read with great interest by all claseer. | Many people in this city will be extremely sorry to learn thas the ship Columbus, of New York, bound from New Orleans to Liverpool, was wrecked op the 17th instant, by which the lives of four pas- sengere and eight of the crew were lost. Weare also enabled to give some further particulars of the burning of the steamer Amazon, and the destruc: | tion of one hundred and ten lives. The English cabinet appears to be in greater diffi eulty than ever, and it is highly probable that the sumors stating that the members would ehortly verign, have ere this been confirmed. The Peelites had avoided @ coalition with Lord John Russell; and it was the general impression that the whigs ould not hold out much longer. Notwithetani- img these ministerial trouble:, the London money marke; remained firm. An France all was going on quite smoothly, and | Louie Napoleon had again advanced himself in ti estimation of the people, by filling important effices with men who commanded the contidence of | tbe public, without regard te family or political imfuence. The republican mottoes on the varioug public edifices had been removed, and the hi eal ones restored. ‘he new constitution had not yet been promulgated. We have a rumor of a eupposed misunderetanding relative to Bolgian matters, between Lord Normanby, the Bri’ Awbasesdor, and Louis Napoleon. It was inti mated that the dispute had been carried to such Jengths that bis lordship was about to withdraw from France. This caused a@ fiuciuation and decline of one per cent in the French funde. How- ever, it wee afterward: said that hie lordship merely intended to make a temporary visit to England, acd would shortly return; eoageque. tly Girmnces was again restored to the funds. Affairs inthe German States appear to be of ra ther » more peaceful character than for along time past. The dificulties between Deamark and Schles- wig Holetein have been amicab! ated, and the Total, city, besidee the theatres. And the question What ie to be done with them! This isa point | which it would be well for the Convention at Albany totake up. But, meantime, we would euggeat thas they ought to be converted, some of them into churches (for we sre sadly in need 8 modation for the pour), and the remaiade 0 shops of mora) reform aad industrial progress, to teach | humanity, socialism, and ‘‘epiritua! tions.” It will not do merely to shut up these bu ingsagainet sin.

Itis not enough to eradicate the weeds of vire—we must sow the seeds of virtue, and ca fally cultivate their growth till they arrive at per fection, and bring forth the fruits of righteousness, iety, and social progress. The State Legislature ought to be called upen to make an appropriation to pay the rent of these buildings, to defray the ex. | penses of lectures, and to endow professor: c moral and spiritual reform.

Mathews, and others. by | and fami Bets, large ard small—it is even said, to the amount of many thousands--are pending on the verdict of the jury, among the loungers and loafers a! about town. For the information of our readere who did not eee the Heratn of yesterday, we have republished the Jadge’s charge, delivered on Saturday after- noon, together with some remarks dn the character and tendency of the trial, which appesr in the Sun- day journals. They are interesting to the reading | public, and will, no doubt, be sppreciated. We have eaid very little about thie trial during jts continuance for nearly six weeks. Some of its features, however, are very remarkable, and will | esll forth the obeervations of tho pross in all parte ofthe country. A striking, legal featare in the progress of the case, was the omission of Mr. Van | Barer, the coungel for Mr. Forrest, to terminate | the case when Mr. O'Vonor, the counzel for Mrs. Forrest, rested onthe third day of the trial, and after tbe Court had decided against the adm bility of Mr. Ferrest’s own evidence against himself. If Mr: Van Buren bad taken an issuo then, and allowed the case to have gone to the jury, we ratber think that his client would have stood | better in public opinion, and the reeult woutd have proved of great benefit to pany of the witnesece and characters eubsequently discussed. Buy is seems that the counsel thought differently, and the | refult is before us—a mass of evidence disclosing the private life and secret habits of a multitude of individuals, most of which fac's are anything | but creditable to many of the parties concerned. The latitude given by the Court in bringing ou: | the testimony, has created a great deal of remark in private circles, as well az in tke public journals: Frem an observation which fell from the Judge, it seemed that be considered himself bound, in sowe Cegree, under the “new code,” to give the parties full latitude to try all issues, hear all evidence, and investigate all charges presented to them | for admission. If it be eo, we have experienced a | few more of the blessings and beauties of the ‘new code.” One other point—the Judge took occasion, | in his charge, to recemmend to the Legislature the | | | | passage of a strict law, whereby the press ehould be | r prevented from publishing the evidence in such trials until theyare terminated. With all due d erence to the judgment and high mental qualities of the learned judge, euch a law would appear to be & epecies of censorship on the prese--an act which ie specially forbidden by the constitution of the United States and the constitution of every State | in the Union. No ceneorship of the p.css for one dey or thirty days—the principle is alike in either—can be legally established by any legisia- tive body in this country. Under the constitution and the laws the courts of justice are open to toe public; and the mere publication of the evidence by & newepayer, is simply an enlargement, by superior mechanical meane, of the capacity of the cour: | room. We do no: concur, therefore, either with the prin- ciple or the expediency of the new law ef censorship which the learned judge has invited the Legislatare to pase, in derogation, a: we believe, of she con- stitution of the Usited States, as well as that of this State. ‘There might, however, be some Jaw passed in relation to the taking of evidence, and in come mitigation of the awful latitudes inflicted on a suffering community by the ‘“‘new code” The Legislature might very properly construct 4 !aw for the sifting of evidence on = cials--authoriz, ing the judge and requiring him te refuse the admis tion of el! immuterial tectimuny trenching on the cheracter ef other individuals, witnout any special benefit to the material issues before the court and jery. Ifsuch a law had been carried into effect in the present instance, we verily believe that the Forrcet case might have been terminated in four or five daye—at 2! events, dasgpg the firet week. Now that the case bas terminated, it will be by the 3,000 neyrepapers of this and we may expect all i of ity, and justice nary The report ef this cas by our las orter, yesterday mo. hours after the termination of the ¢ ¢, and impar ublic would do w th ew The Kossvrn Cie # in a mouth mon er the delivery of a ser- Kossuth with C Mossieh a e other, comes that ke went so in the newspapers combined e gaye tof one r, in which he denic far av all the report to represent him, hese para- facts.
