BROOKLYN MUSEUM—OnmaAn ces JI—Faur.y Jans. New York, Monday, July 26, 3852. The News. Mr. Webster had a great reception at Marshtiold, yesterday. He made a speech—a belligerent specch, takin g high and strong ground on the fishery troubles. He also alluded to the Presidential ques- tien: We give the speech as it came over the wires. We say something about it in another co- damn. SBeme excitement and considerable stir Was mani- fest in the Brooklyn navy yard, on Saturday, in @ensequence of a number of workmen being or- @ered in the afternoon to fit up some of the vessels which have been lying there for 2 long time dor- mant. It is supposed that the movement has some- thing to do with the troubles on the fishing banks. Phe Baltic arrived yesterday. She brings four @ays’ later intelligence from Purope. It is not in any way startling in its character, but it is impor- tent in 2 social and commercial point of view. According to the returns, as far as received, the elections in Great Britain indicate a defeat of the government; but the ministry depend largely upon ‘abe agricultural districts. The Derbyites expoct to Seeure the counties by their abandonment of protee tien. We shall probably know the result this week. Another point of interest is the rapid revolution that is going on in emigration, occasioned by the @isooveries of gold in Australia. Crowds are secking passage to the new El Dorado, while the returns of emigration from Liverpool to the United States, in fhe month of June, show a decrease of upwards of aax thousand. ‘The crops in all parts ef Europe are represented te be remarkably promising. Indeed, the accounts frem Germany state that the wheat crop in that gection of the couniry looks better than in any sea- on for the last twenty years. Ak appears that a new order has been issued by She British Board of Customs, relative to the impor- tation of tobacco, whieh seems to favor the United Btates. ‘The details of all this mews will be found in this werning’s paper. Tho steamship Empire City arrived last night from Key West, where she received the California mails and passengers of the 28th ult., from the El Dorado, whieh sailed from Chagres for Havana—at which Jatter port she was not allowed to land, in conse- | quence of having sickness on board. The Chagres Sever was quite prevalent among the passengers ou board the E] Dorado, seven of whom died on the pereage. ‘The Hon. John P. Kenitedy arrived in Washing- ton yesterday, and will enter upon the duties of Se- eretary of the Navy this day. Mr. Kennedy's new station will, no doubt, give him plenty of employ- ment just at this juncture of affairs, and the move- snent of the navy will be watched with intense in- derest. “An affray took place at Cohoes, in this State, on Friday, between a number of men, one of whom was instantly killed by a captain of a canal boat striking him on the head with an axe. My, Webster's Speech at Mershficld—Highly Interesting State of Affairs. ‘The speech of Mr. Webster, Marshfiell, on the eeceasion of his public reception there by his neigh- hors, on Saturday last, is indeed a high-toned, pa- triotic, independent, and highly intereating expesi- tion of his views on the questions involved. The great statesman of Massachusetts, like good wine, ianproves by age. For the past year or two, almost every succeeding speech of his has been better than the last, and this last one is decidedly better than all, Tt comes fully up to the broad and comprehen- give standard of American statesmanship en the Great codfish quertion, and on the Presidential question it is still more significant and interesting— still more patriotic and indepondent—notwithstand- ing that on this subject, he is remarkably and painfully brief. Mr. Webster (with the British Minister at elbow, invited to share the hospitalities of Marshfield along with the tedious business of diplomacy) lays @own the fundamental law on the codfi-h question with unmistakable emphasis. He says, that for the action of the constables and petty local tribunale of the British provinces, in confiscating American | fishing smacks seized within the prohibited waters of said provinces, the British government will be held responsible; and that it will also be held responsible in reforence to such American ishing vessels as may be captured by her Ma jesty’s armed cruisers. This is the true Ame can ground; and we think it has been ciearly shown to be justified by the convention of 118, wording to which American fishermen are alinitied ba! What does this mean? It is fall of meaning. It signides that Mr. Webster is waiting for the ao- tion of the Philadelphia convention of the first of Avguet. If that convention, in respectable exhi- bit of strength and materials, shall second the as- tion ef the Goorgia Union party, then we may rely upon it Mr. Webster will speak out, and in a man- ner which will sstoniwh the blind instraments of | gunpowder availability. We rather thiok if there is any sincerity in Wall street, and among the cod fish aristocracy of this city, they can now neo longer hesitate to act. Mr, Webster throws himself into their hands—he stands aloof from tha whig nomination, because his friends have desired it. He has compromised himself as ® party aman for their sake, and it would, therefore, be the basoet treachery now to desert him. If their professions of attachment to him aro anything betterthan moonshine and deception, let them act, and act like honest and earnest men in a good cause. The time is propitions. This codfish question is a grave and momentous question. Mr. Webster’s pe- sition is a noble position. We shall want him to de the work of maintaining our rights, and of presery- ing peace at thesame time. Let him be encouraged —Jet him be put up for the Presidency—let his | friends everywhere got up delegates to Philadel- phia, and let us have a {air trial, before the people, ofthe relative popularity of ganpowder and states- mapship We are v—the people are ready- Mr. Webster is ready. What say the codfish aris- tocracy of New York 2 The Extradition Case aud the Demagogues. ‘This morning, the case of Thomas Kaine comes up, on a second haikas corpus, before Judge Bos- worth, of the Supreme Court, who has ordered that ihe man be brought before him—an order which, we trust, shall be put in foree. We perceive from the proceedings before Judge Bosworth, on Thure- day last, that the United States Marshal declined to produce the prisoner in court, under the appre- hension of a threatened rescue. This idea Judge Bosworth very properly sconted; and it is utterly unworthy of any efficer of the law, in a free country, in which the laws are respected, and every citizen feels the pressure of the obligation to lend his as- sistance to carry them into execution. We venture to say that we will find thousands of men in this city, any one of whom will bring the prisoner from the Tombs to court, or anywhere else, without the slightest danger of rescue. All that is nocessary, is fur any resolute man to arm himself with a brace of pistols, and, we pledge ourselves, he will be al- lowed to discharge the duty without molestation. Officer Bowyer, of the Chief"s staff, would very soon do it, or, in fact, any good officer ; for the policeman who could not bring Kaine from prison to court, is unfit for his place. There is not one of these flaming patriots—not one of those braggadocios or demagogucs—who would sacrifice his life, or even his little finger, to save Kaine from the gallows; least of all would they do it when they knew that if they were to die by thousands they could not accomplish their purpose, and that the whole military force of the country, state and federal, would be called out, if necessary, to put down sedition, and maintsin law and order in the city. We trust, therefore, that the empty menaces of rescue, used for the purpose of intimidating the courts more than anything else, will be despised, and treated with the scorn they deserve, and that the United States Marsha] will not show the white feather in the discharge of the duty that devolves upon him. If he feels he is not able’ to do it with the aid of his deputy marshals, let even one com- pany of the National Guard be summoned to his aid, and there will be no trouble. But to say that the law cannot be enforced in the chief city of the United States, and that a prisoner, and he a foreigner too, charged with an attempt to commit murder, cannot be conducted from prison to court without rescue, is about the silliest thing we ever heard, and, if it were true, would reflect the deepest disgrace upon our institutions It is only justice to the prisoner to bring him into court—his counsel demands it—the law requires it. Let him have fair play, and let no peg be left for the demagogues to hang an excuse for agitation The case bas already been decided by the jioner, confirmed by a Judge of the United States Cireuit Court, and a warrant has been issued by the Secretary of State to deliver up the prisoner to the British authorities. The present appeal to a State court, like the fugi- tive slave cases, is only to gain time, to keep up the excitement, and to give the demagogues an oppor- tunity of figuring before the public, and creating a | Slievegammon fund, of the disposal of which the | contributors will know as little ae the subscribers of | $40,000 to the fund of the Irish rebellion of 1813 now do. The Presidential election is at hand, and the politicians of both parties are vieing with each other in the manufacture of capital for that event. It is very important to secure the Irish vote, and the wire pullers would “ compass sea and iand to make one proselyte.” The same agitators who labored so hard to turn to account the Irish revolu- tionary movement of 1848, and the Hungarian and Kossuth excitement since, are the most conspicuous actors in the present farce. The farce would be all very well in its way, and only a matter of every day occurrence, were it not for ite tendency, in this cage, to lead to a tragedy—a seditious émeute, and loss of life in the streets. After the solemn decisions of the courts, a meet- ing is held at Tammany Hall, and Greeley, backed by Messrs. Brady, Blatherekyte, Bluster, Brawler, Buncombe & Co. rushes into the arena con- | secrated to democracy—forbidden ground for whig feet. Impatient to show his zeal for a poor irish prisoner, he makes a speech, in which he justi- | fies murder by an appeal to ‘fa higher law” than | the laws of Great Britain, the laws of the United States, or the Holy Bible itself, which says, ‘‘Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed.” In the report of his speech, in his own paper, he says:—“He (Kaine) is not an ordinary | criminal, but a man impelled to violence hy a | drama of violence, having its origin in the conquest sense of wrong—not of. individual hardship merely, but of political injustice. His is one act ina long | of Ireland, and the confiscation of its soil to the use | of the act charged, is is not purely a moral offence, | within the bays three marine leagues from shore, as well as along the open ocean of the fishing districts. In this opinion Mr. Webster is sustained by the recorded opinion of John Quincy Adams. The posi- tion of the Secretary of State is further etrengthened Dy the official action on the eubject betwoen Mr. Bverett, our late Minister to England, aad Lord Aberdeen, to which particular allusion ie made in this Marshfield speech. Upon one point thore can be no oontroverey what- exer, and that is as to the judgment of the people of all New England, and of the whole country, i yegard to the bold and manly stand taken by Mr, Webster in bebalf of our fisherman's rights. itis position will be universally approved. It cannot be otherwise. We have had already a striking illustra- tion of the spirit of Southern statesmen on this codfish «jaestion, in the late stirring and masterly debate in the United States Senate. And if such is the spirit of the South, what are we to expect of the cod and mackerel fishermen of New England themselves! | wrong.” Fol up this principle, and apply- ing it to the United States, let ue soe how it | would work. According to Greeley, the oglored po- of the conquerors.

We scarcely ever knew an instance of murder that the per- petrator was not diiven to it by some “ sonse of who foele hi pulation of the Seuth sufler groater wrongs at the hands of their masters than the white serfs of fre- | jand ever suffered at the hands of their landlords. | but « political offence. ‘ke of a whole State conspire and | ‘They will stand by Mr. Webster; and, if any re- | spectable nomination i* made in his name for the Presidency, they will rally to hie support, and thou- sands and thousands of all other interests in the ‘ow England States will also rally t the great de- fender of the constitution, and the compromise mea- pores, and of the Yankee fishermen of codfish and gorckerel. Or the & Presidential queetion, Mr. Webster says us not yet arrived for him to epenk., Ab! ' Impelled, therefore, to violence by a sense of wrong, a black slave is justified in committing one i the Jong drama ef violence having its origin in the introduction of slavery into this country by the British—he is justified in performing bis part im the play by the murder of hie master, and when he flies to New York he is not to be surrendered for trial. In his cose killing is no inurder—it is not a moral suppose the bl: murder every white man in it, not leaving so much as one to tell the tale, all thie would be no crime | againet human or divine laws—it would be a mere politicel offence. Such is the atrecions, murderous higher law doctrine proclaimed by Greeley, and if some of the colored race do not “better the instrac- tion” the fault does not lie with him. ‘The pretence that this isa political erime, and comparing it with the case of Thomas Francis Meughor, is the most impudent, barefaced piece of pojitical charlatanry we ever knew. Those who make thie pretence do not believe it themeclve And to follow up the idea— | snd hew they calculate upon any ene else be- ieving it, is berd to imagi We should hope thet there is no class of A An the United Btates so extremely ignorant as to swallow such an absurdity. At first it was pretended that Kaine belonged to a political club, and that it was for this offence he was soaght, and not for the at- tempt to commit murder, which was only fabrisated in order to get hold of him. But this wag abandea- ed as too improbable; for while the government had thousands of political elub men im the city of Dub- | lin, and every city, to try, if they wished to do so, it was very unlikely that they would take the trou- bie and incur the expense of sending to the United States for am obscure peasant of the county of West- meath. The British government have not tried any persons for belonging to political clubs; if they did, they would have to try haifthe country. The ob- ject of thie fabrication wax to get up an excitement among the Irich exiles who have emigrated to this country, and among all who sympathized with the cause. This reason being found so very leaky that it would not hold water, the demagoguos fell back upon the general question of the wrongs of Ireland, | #inee the conquest, and they urge this as a jastifivar | | tion forthe murder of any individual belonging to tae — | dominant class. Webaye no sympathy with the | Jandlords of Ireland, and we have often expressed ; our views upon the enbject. We have denounced the political system by which the oppression of the great body of the people is perpetuated. But | we also detest cowardly assassinations; and so far from redresa for the grievances of the country being ever achieved by these individual murders, liberty | is, retarded, and the chains of the unfortunate pea- | santry are only riveted the faster. The man who | | can palliate murder, under any preteace, must have a very obtuse moral sense of right and wrong, and is a very dangerous member of socicty. Such prin- ciples would disorganize and cut up every commu- nity by the roote—and thie is exactly the drift and seope of the whole of the teachings of the organe of | the socialists fur the last few years, both in the United States and Europe. Thank God, however, thie community is not as yet impregnated to any great extent with these anurehical and perilous doctrines. | What is the offence for which Kaine is charged? | For coming upto a man, and in cold bloed firing a | | loaded pistol at him while in the act of stooping to | pickup a paper, which the assassin had thrown | down for the purpose of getting his victim into that | position. He did not kill but only wounded him, | thongh, according to the witnesses, he pursued him with a second pistol to finish the job. It is said that the murder arose out of the possession of land; but Kaine cannot even plead the extenuating circum- stance that he was the ejected sufferer; he was only the hired assasin, if we are to believe the uncontro- verted testimony. We do not wish to prejudge the unfortunate prisoner; but a sufficient prima fucie case has beenmade out to send him to trial before a jury of his own countrymen. It is said that the whole story bears on its face an air of improbability. If so, | then there is every reason to believe he will be ac- | quitted, and for his own sake he ought to be sent back to have his character eleared, instead of remaining here under a cloud of euspicion, and the imputation of murder crushing him to the earth. As long as we have treaties, let them be observed. This case comes clearly under the Ashburton treaty, and ary hesitation to deliver up the prisoner will justify the British in retaliating and violating their treaties with us. These instruments to be binding must be reciprocal. Suppose a foul murder were committed in our city to-morrow, and the assassin escaped ina British steamer to England, the British | authorities would be justified in refusing to surren- der him, if our courts and government refused to deliver up Kaine. If the case against him were a fabricated er sham case, like that of the Irish sol- dier, Welsh, we’ would be the very last to take the position we do. It will be recollecied by our readers, that on that occasion we took the side of the accused, and the event showed that wo were right. Welsh deserted from the British army at St. John, New Brunswick, and, under pretence of his stealing a jack-knife and some keys, he was demanded by the military authorities and the British consul, in virtue of the Ashburton treaty. The charge was shown to be a trumpery one, the real object being to get a deserter back. The com- missioner refused to surrender him, and the whole community applauded the decision. Where was | Greeley and the other sympathisers then? Did they do or say anything to restore the captive to liberty? No; the Presidential election was at that time too distant to be affected by speeches to Buncombe; but now the time approaches, and even the case of a man charged to commit murder is pressed into the service. But it will not do. The fugitive from jus- tice will be delivered up—the laws of Congress and the treaties of the republic will be carried into execution, and the political knaves and demagogues who have been ranting in Tammany Hall, will be taught that they cannot bear down law and order and the public opinion of the country. Tar Free Som Nationa CONVENTION AT PirrssvrG.—This convention, which is to meet en the 11th August, is receiving a good deal of atten- tion from the free soilers throughopt the Northern States. We estimate there are about twenty for thirty delegates already elected from New York ‘ and New England, to the assembly there; but we | ) suppoee it will contain over a hundred delegates of | { all kinds in the Northern States, besides a vast num- | her of outside participants in these nominations and | doctrines. According to the letter of Senator Chase, | it isto be a continuation of the Buffalo movement | of 1818. The probability is that John P. Hale, of New Hampsbire, will be the principal candidate for j the Presidency before this convention, for we under- | stand that Mr. Chase and others decline. The plat- | form will, however, be somewhat enlarged beyond the | tize of the Buffalo one. The Buffalo platform em- | braces anti-slavery, low postages, aud some few other small item but, according to present ap- pearances, all the isms and wild notions of the day | will be embraced jp the now Pittsburg platform, } which will probably contain more peculiar princi- ples and ideas than that of any platform of any par- ty in this country ever published. The proceedings and the nominations of the convention will be a curiosity when properly written. Tae Twesty-rietH Annvai Fain or tae AMp- | wroan IneritirE.—This fair will be held at Castle ; Garden in October, for the exhibition of specimens | | in the various departments of agriculture, oom- | merce, manufactures, and the mechanic arts, when | various premiums,commencing at $30, will be distrib- | uted. We understand that the Institute has oxpended | | during the last. seventeen years, noarly $35,000 in | | premiums. It appears that we may anticipate some- | thing grand; and in the agricultural department, we | notice the details of ploughing and spading | | matches. The annual Cattle Show will also como off in | October, at Madison Cottage, Twonty-third street, | the programme of which ig pretty full. Stock from ; Any part of the United States will be admitted for | competition, and a large number of premiums, com | moncing with a silver cup of the value of €25, or | \ | cash, will be awarded. The oxhibition also om- braces the agricultural, horticultural, and floral de- partments of the American Institute. We regard | these exhibitions with considerable interest. Casixet.—The cabinet of Mr. Fillmore seems to be properly disporsing itself all over ereation; but ite members dislike to Iéave without something in hand of a better character than ‘‘a bird in the bush.” One member is named for a missfén to France; another for x mmission to | | Mn.

The principal fect on which this new rumor is based, is @ copy of m newepaper, the first number | of which hae been circulated in Havana. Now as- cording to the best accounts, there is no danger of a revolution taking place in Cuba among the Creoles themselves. The Spanish government is too power- ful in that island, snd the Creole population too imbecile and theoretical ever to render internal ro- volts capable of producing an ultimate revolution. The continual attempt at internal and external dis- turbance is probably got up for the purpose of show- ing Spain that it would be more profitable and ad- vantegeous for that government to sell Cuba, that it may become a dependency of the United States, for as much aa they ean get, and as we are willing to pay for it. The possession of Cuba in the pre- sent state of the world, and the nocessity of a largo army and navy there, cost to Spain more than Cuba will in the long ran be able to defray. The cheap- | est and wisest course undoubtedly is to get rid of | the island on the best terms, to any customer will- ing to bay it. This would be in accordance with the ideas of policy adopted by the Creoles themselves, who are much more acute and ingenious in diplomatic mat- ters than in a series of revolts, rebellions and revo- Jutions, that require strong arms and powerful muscles to sustain them. Marine Affairs. Axnivar or The Steamen Petaai.—The new British steamer Petrel arrived yesterday. She is owned by the Cunard Co., and is to take the place of the Merlin on the Bermuda and St. Thomas route. Shé is a ecrew steamer, and is commanded by Captain Sampson, late of the Merlin. Boounp ron Avusrravia—A Bemper at Pantinc.— A novel entertainment was given on Saturday last, in his port, by Mr. W. T. Dugan and his associates, to the passengers, numbering 220, about to sail for Australia, in heir ship Magnola. The liberally supplied table was spread on board their new clipper ship Wm. Frothing- ham, and several merchants and gentlemen interested in The original in- tention was to have simply toasted the last named noble ship; but the owners having conceived the liberal and novel idea of entertaining their passengers, the latter be- came the prominent and most interesting feature on the occasion, These guests were for the most part young men of yery respectable character, and orderly deport- ment, and appeared in excellent spirits, and “with fecl- ings warm and prospects high.” A large number were from Canada; but there were many Americans, who, with their usual enterprising apirit, are about to seek their fortunes in the newly found gold regions of Aus- tralia, The utmost harmony and good fecling appeared to reign among them, and several toasts were heartily drank evineing this. ‘The principal ones wei President of the United States,” ~The Queen land ** “California and Australie--may they be dmwing close to cach other.” Even during the festivity. specu- lation was not lost sight of, and many tona fide bets were laid aud taken as to the “time” these’ ships would make.

Gross carelessness in the switchman was the only cause of the accident, and it is to be hoped that justice will be duly administered to him. The passengers were brought on by the express train, after a detention of only about two jours, Merancnory ann Fatsan Accrorst.—A man named Charles Clancy was killed. on Saturday evening. whilst employed in raising the roof of house No. 175 Bighth avenue, near Eleventh street.

Boar Ractno—N annow Escare.—At about eight o'clock on yesterday evening two boats, each rowed by a party of young men, were racing in the course of the ferry boat crossing from Hoboken to Canal street. One small boat, containing five young men was run down, and the entire five precipitated into the water. Four could swim, and immediately made for the ferry boat, and were auved; the other could not swim, and had a most perilous escape. The second boat was astern of the steamer, and escaped injury, carrying the rescued party ashore, Fins. —A fire occurred at 4 o'clock on the morning of yesterday—Sunday—in the basement of the house corner of Fulton and CUM strects, occupied asa porter house.

If we continue for any great length of time to expand at the rate realized sinee 1849, we shall reach a point several times higher than ever before known. A revulsion thenjwould be of a mre serious, disastrous character than all we have ever passed through combined. We are approaching that point with rapid strides, and shall sooner or later reach it. The diseount lines of our banks give only a small portion of the paper promises to pay. Outside of the banks paper is megotia- ted toas great an extent as inside, The banka do not hold such power or position in the money mapket as previous to 1837. There is animmense amount of gallate capital employed in discounting mercantile peper, and it would not be far out of the way to put down the amount of individual paper now under discount in this eountry at one thousand millions of dollars, This is independent of public eredits, such as State bonds, railroad bondw. ~ &e., &c., besides millions upon millions of paper of a » character not easily negotiated, remaining in first hands. We are just entering upon the first act of the new fiman- cial movement of the age, A dangerous counterfeit on the Miami Valley Bank of Dayton, Ohio has made its appearance. 1t is very neatly executed, though darker in its general appearance than the genuine bill.

The signatures on the counterfeit are easily detected by comparison with the + genuine, thongh well calculsted to decetve.
