York, Thursday, June 9, 1953. ——— Eee ‘The News. / Qurco¥amns are completely flooded with intelli- ‘wence.from.every section of the inhabited globe this morning. In addition to one week’s history of the stirring events in Europe, Asia and Africa, we give full details of late and highly interesting news from California, Australia, New Granada, the West In- dies, and al! parts of South America. Under this tremendous piessure upon our pages we are con- *trained to defer the publication of a large amount of local and general reading matter, as well as many advertisements. The. Huropean mails, which reached Boston by the «00 0a, were delivered in this city yesterday after- Those by the Washington were delivered in the ssorning. Our editions of yesterday and Tuesday morning contained all the news of most importance, which we published as it was received by telegraph. The political details are, however, very interesting, and are given tm extenso in our columns to-day. The British Parliament did not meet on Tueeday, the 24th ult., it being the anniver- gary of the birthday of her Majesty Queen Victoria, which was celebrated by great rejoicings amongst the pe@ple, and with magnificent banquets, given by the prineipal officers of state, civil, military and jadi- eial. The, next day, Wednesday, was the ever eveatful “Derby day,” and legislation was again postponed, in order that members might enjoy the pleasures of the turf. In the House of Lords, Lord Brougham had pre- sented a petition in connection with negro emanci- pation in the West Indies, in which the ruinous de- preciation which property sustained by that mea- sure, and its effects, were very clearly set forth by asuiferer, Mr. A. Stewart. Lord Clarendon made an indirect reply, in which he diverted the atten- tion of the peerséo the horrors of the Cuban slave trade. Mrs. Uncle Tom Beecher Stowe had reached the highest—if not the culminating—paint of Londoa fashion, by having a grand reception at Almack’s, when a lengthy address was presented by a gentle- man from Gloucester, to which the Professor re- sponded in a .speech replete with hostility to our cotton growing interests, and recommending a course of action to the English traders which, if followei out, would render the councils of the Memphis Coa- vention for a Sou commercial depot, entirely unnecessary. Stimulated, perhaps, by these pro ceedings, a leading London journal, the orgaa of Lord Palmerston,* one of the present Eaglish ministry, published a violent disunion article against. our laws, morajs, and institutions. The cottoa lords of Manchester were, however, beginning to doubt the sincerity*of the aristocratic and novel- writing philanthropists. There had been an iaterraption of diplomatic re Jations between Austria and Switzerland. The intelligence concerning our Chinese iater- vention, in connection with France and England, is highly interesting. The latest news from Constantinople was very important. The Sultan had rejected the demand of Russia for an Eastern protectorate, whereby the Czar could interfere between his Majesty and his Greek subjects. France and England had supported the action of the Porte, and the most alarming consequences were dreaded. However, Lord John Rassell assured the House of Commons, upon the 27th of May, that the English Ambassador at Constantinople had been instructed in a course of policy which would have the effect of prodacing an amicable arrange- ment of all difficulty. From California, by the arrival of the steamship El Derado, we have received papers to the 7th ult. Advices to the 16th May had previously reached us ly way of New Orleans. The news of the mines is of the most flattering character. An extensive fire oc- curred at San Francisco May 3, which destroyed eight buildings, including the Rasette House, where the fire originated. The court house at San Jose was also consumed April 20. An unsuccessful attempt was made to blow up the steamship Sierra Nevada on the 24th and 27th May, while on her passage from Panama to San Francisco. Great excitement pre- vailed at Santa Barbara in consequence of a bloody riot growing out of an attempt to sell land held under a squatter title. Two citizens were killed and the sheriff mortally wounded. But the most extraordi- nary feature of the news by this arrival is the proceed” ings in the House of Assembly “on the 2d ultimo, when a preamble, declaring that “Mexico haa not hesitated to violate the solema treaty entered into with the United States,” and “hence we anticipate @ speedy war,” was backed up by a resolution that abill be reported “authorizing certain persons to organize ten companies of mounted men, without expense to the State, and granting them the right } repair toa spot within and near the line of this tale, where it touches the River Gila, there to re main so long as they choose, at their owa cost, or until a requisition shall have been made pon this State for troops, in the event of a war with Mexico.” ‘The Oregon papers contain uothing of general in terest. Politica ran high, and much party bitterness prevailed. A dispatch from Washington says that the cabinet has been very busy of late, it is supposed, upon. the Mesilla Valley affair. Our special Albany correspondent has furnished an epitome of the report made by the Art Union In- vestigating Committee, to the Assembly yesterday afternoon. The committee wind up their labors by declaring that the institution being defunct and its treasury bankrupt, further legislation is unnecessary: An intimation is however thrown out that the stock- holders might not be sufferers by appealing for re- dress to the judicial authorities. Several bills, some of which are of considerable importance so far as this city is concerned, were passed by our State Legislature yesterday. We are gratified to learn that the Canal Conference Con mittee lind an amicable meeting yesterday, aud that it is probable they will speedily report for adoption the Vanderbilt plan for securing the completion of the public works, with the Hadley amendment, annulling the contracts of 1861. Jy retorence to the tlograp’:ic rynopsig gf the “Proceedings ‘in the Southern Convention at Memphis “ft will be seen that ‘the delegates are working to- gether‘ia. a spirit of emity that promises to sccom- plish neach more thee has hitherto resulted from the efforts of any stmiler assemblage in that section of theeountry. Knowing that their interests are inti- imately connected with those of the people of the great West, they are desirous that the latter shall jein them in the construction of a railroad from the Mississippi tothe} Pacific, as a precursor to the mu- “tual extension of the commerce of the two sections. A resolution’has been adopted in favor of speedily deepening the mouth of the Mississippi and improy- ing the herbors of some of the principal Southern ports. Datee from the city of Mexico, to the 24th ult., in- form us that Santa Anna was still busily engaged in re-organizing the army, issuing stringent edicts, &c. ‘The army is to consist of ninety-one thousand men, divideti into an active force of sixty-five thousand, and a permanent force of twenty-six thousand, Forty newspapers have been suppressed, and army officers and others prohibited from smoking in the trite accounts from the Rio Grande state that Cara- vajal and his associates, having been released, have eatered suits against the United States Marshal for false arrest and imprisonment. How long will it be ere we hear that this chieftain and his followers are again invading and taking possession of Mexican villages, lyaching alcaldes, and frightening even Santa Anna himself for the safety of his government? The declaration of ex-President Arista shows con- clusively that the old revolutionary project of Cara- vajal has more friends in Mexico than had been hitherto supposed. We learn from Quebec that Father Gavazzi, while delivering a lecture in that city on Tuesday night, was attacked by a mob, who, after much difficulty, ousted him from the pulpit of the Free Church, and then beat him till he was rescued by his friends, The father’s secretary was dreadfully injured, and many of the spectators were severely hurt by the sticks and stones hurled upon them by the infuriated rioters. The tumult was eventually quelled by a company of soldiers. The mob afterwards visited the Parliament house, called for a member who had rendered himself obnoxious to their ideas, and, after threatening him with their vengeance, dispersed. Father Gavazzi quietly left the place last evening. The Massachusetts Constitutional Convention have adopted a resolution providing that there shall be no tax qualification to vote for State officers, and that the ballot shall be secret. A delegation of forty-two Choctaw Indians arrived in Boston yesterday. They are on their way te the New York Crystal Palace. With the exception of a short debate in the Board of Aldermen, prior to the confirmation of certain contracts for grading and paving, as sent in by the Street Commissioner, nothing of particular interest transpired in either branch of the Common Council last evening. No allusion was made to the great victory of the city reform party at the election on Tuesday. See the official minutes, together with our special report of the debate, in another column. The Grand Jury for the June term were em- pannelled in the Court of General Sessions yesterday. His Honor the Recorder made an able charge to the jury, urging them to indict all parties whom they may find to have violated the law. He directed them particularly to inquire into the pernicious sys- tem of dealing in lottery policies, of which, perhaps, there is no evil more extensively practised. He also directed their attention to the imperfect and dangerous method in which many buildings are con- structed, especially those for the accommodation of the poorer classes; to the reckless manner in which cattle are driven through the streets; to the crime and misery engendered by drankenness, gambling, deba uchery, &c. Read the proceedings in the Supreme Court of Kings county yesterday. Capt.’ Rynders aud Mrs. Cooper were in attendance with the little negro, Jane Trainer, ane Meslla Boundary Question—{mmediate \ Prospect and Consequences of Another War with Mexico. It is now of little consequence whether the Mesilla boundary line of Commissioner Bartlett is, or is not, the genuine line, according to the true intent and interpretation of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Our adminis- tration repudiates it, and claims the line of Mr Surveyor Gray, thirty-four miles farther south, whereby we gain a strip of territory, such as it is, thirty-four miles wide by about one hundred and thirty miles long. This is the disputed territory; for, while our cabinet have sub- stantially declared that it is ours, Goveraor Trias, of the State of Chihuahua, in behalf of the republic of Mexico, claims the line conceded by our Commissioner, and threatens to hold all below it by force of arms. The question, there- fore, as to which is the true line, is over- shadowed and superseded by the more direct and important question—how can this claim of both parties to this disputed territory be ad- justed without an appeal to the sword? According to our telegraphic advices, pub- lished yesterday, from Washington, news had been received there that Governor Trias had withdrawn his troops from El Paso del Norte; and it was considered a pacific move- ment. But, admitting this to be correct, | it only betrays the ominous fact that our cabinet are thus far wholly unadvised of the intentions and inclinations of Santa Anna; that they do not know whether Gov. Trias has been acting wnder the orders of the Dictator or upon his own discretion, like our own Governor Lane, in his exceedingly patriotic aud filibus- tering proclamation. But the movements of the War Department at Washington, if we are correctly informed, indicate a very small degree of faith in the submissive disposition of the Mexican authorities, federal or provincial. We are advised that Gen. Garland will march to maintain the neutrality of the disputed terri- tory. without delay ; that he will be aided in all dificult emergencies by the advice and co- operation of Mr, Meriwether, who will probably go out with this military escort, as Governor of New Mexico; that the said Garland, within two months from this present writing, will be within striking distance of the Mesilla or little valley, with two thousand troops at his command; and that within four months two thousand more will be plaged within his reach, at conveniey, Stations along the Rio Grande. This warlike array may be designed for the preservatioa of peace; but at this crisis it appears to us very like a formal and deliberate preparation for war, In support of this presumption we are ad- monished that Governor Meriwether is one of “ The hunters of Kentucky,” strongly tinctured with the progressive ideas of Young America, and as firmly convinecd as the Sceretary of War himself, that our Mexican boundary, all the way through, is located en- tirely too far north, either for a permanent peace with Mexico, or for the purposes of easy intercommunieation between the territories wo Nor can we overlook the influ- ence of ls acquired, and the political distinet eby achieved, by onr ollicers, regulars and volunteers, in the last Mexican The White House, the Cabinet, both houses of Congress, or profitable missior abroad, are inviting temptations to the army for another forward movement to “the halls o the Montezumas.” Ind we can hardly dis- mise the suspicion that the administration viewa be possible goutingomoy of war through the have acquired. wer highly colored medium of a broad and general blaze of military glory. We can now perceive this idea distinctly foreshadowed in the inaugural address. The world is aware that between peace and war in the adjustment of our existing embarrassments with Mexico, the antecedents, the prestige and the spirit of “the unterrified democracy,” would rally then as one man, to the call of the trumpet. On our side, therefore, the paramount obstacle to tedious and monotonous negotiations will be the difficulty with the ad- ministration of restraining its natural tenden- cies to military glory, and the democratic poli- cy of annexation by the shortest route and upon the grandest scale. With Mr. Fillmore in the Executive chair there would be no necessity for the slightest alarm to the most nervous old wo- man in the country. Hostile as he is to the modern idea of progressive territorial expan- sion, we might feel assured of peace. The to- tally different public attitude of President Pierce upon this general issue, however, gives to our present critical relations with Mexico a wholly different complexion. We have changed the sides of the medal. The benignant but femi- nine image of peace is against the wall, and the stalwart form of Mars, full armed, confronts us: The policy and the inclinations of Santa Anna appear to be still more unfavorable to a friendly settlement. He has returned to power flaming with manifestoes and protestations against the United States and the. fillibusteros of his north- ern departments; he has sworn to preserve in- tact the Spanish race and the soil of Mexico; he has been making overtures to Spain, and doubt- Jess, also, to England and Franee, for their assist- ance in anticipation of a rupture with the “ruth- less Yankee.” These overtures, it is quite possible, may contemplate the open- ing of certain European ports in the West India Islands to such American prizes as may be captured by privateers sailing under the Mexican flag. With Spain, at least, he has evidently been juggling for an alliance, com- prehending the full requisitions of a war with acommonenemy. He has been exciting the Mexican people with the delusive ideas of ven- geance for the disasters of 1846-7, and the ter- ritorial sacrifices of 1848. The Mexican church is with him, and against us; for its supremacy and power in the State. and over the people, depend upon the raising of a Chinese wall against their Northern Tartars. All these in- fluences are urging him to a war, and, to all appearances, he has so far inflamed his weak- minded countrymen with the war fever that it would be dangerous now to fall back upona pacific policy. His exhausted treasury, his ex- hausted financial resources, the various revolu- tionary elements scattered over the republic, and the general depression among all classes of the community, called for this extraordinary stimulus of a war cry, in the very outset, to rouse the people and to unite all factions in his snpport. Unserupulous as to means, and reckless as to consequences to him and to Mexico, there is danger that the internal neces- sities of his position may drive him into war. And what will be the immediate conse- quences of another rupture? General Garland and his troops will march southward. Cara- vajal and the fillibusteros of Matamoras and Camargo will cross the Rio Grande in swarms, on the road to Monterey; the Californians by thousands will undertake a “‘prospecting” ex- pedition into Sonora and the peninsula of the gulf. (See the resolutions which we publish to-day, introduced by Mr. McMeans into the California Legislature, and the intelligence concerning Sonora.) Ina word, within three months after the declaration of war, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, an invading army would be moving down for the re-oceupation of Che- pultepec. More than this—under the cover of the smoke and dust and the “noise and confu- sion” of this broad invasion of Mexico, the order of the Lone Star and the Cuban Junta would slip into Cuba and sweep over the island like ahurricane. Yet, we repeat it, there are indi- cations on both sides of a disposition rather to fight than negotiate, and there is imminent dan- ger of war. Mexico is weak. Weare strong. We should be and may be magnanimous; but the tempta- tions to severity are all but irresistible. We have little to fear from England; little to appre- hend from Louis Napoleon—he may shortly have business enough to employ him on the continent; we have nething to fear in the event of an alli- ance between Santa Anna and Spain. It would only facilitate the acquisition of Cuba. There can be little danger to our commerce, for Mexico, without a commercial marine, aad without a navy, could send no privhteers to sea, and a declaration of piracy against vessels of other nations privateering under her flag would cut short that expedient of aonoyance. Here, then, the parties stand. Santa Anna is in a desperate position. Between a retention of his place and a revolutionary abdication. he may be compelled to fight; and in the worst ex- tremity he may rely on the interposition of some of the nations of Europe to preserve the balance of power on this continent, and to save Mexico from being wholly absorbed by the American eagle. The proclivities of the demo- cratic party, or the temptations to our adminis- tration for another brush with the Mexicans, we have sufficiently depicted. And then there are the warlike movements on both sides towards the Messilla district. It is all a howl- ing desert excepting a little riband of alluvian, irrigated by the Rio Grande, and not more than an average of a couple of miles wide. But this little strip of disputed territory may involve the greatest consequences to us, to Mexico, and to the world. We may rightfully in- sist upon its neutrality until the ques- tion of jurisdiction is settled by another survey, or by arbitration. We may even expel by arms the troops of Mexico, without involving the question in war. Thus much our administration appears resolved to do, But, in recalling the movement of General Tay- lor to the Rio Grande in 1846, we have our doubts concerning the pacific mission of Gen. Garland to Messilla, His instructions to en- force peace may end in war. There is danger, then, of another war with Mexico, from all the lights before us, Mean- time, why does General Gadsden delay his de- departure for the Mexican capital? and why does not General Almonte report himself at Washington ? airs, Lavnen ov Tm Stmamenu” SAN Francisco —The steam’ ship fan Francisco, for the Pacific Mail Steamship Com" pany, will be Inunched from the yard of Mr. W.

Railroad Accident Law tm Connecticut—An- other Appeal to the Legislature, It is not in the power of language to add anything to the odium which rests on the New Haven Railroad Company. Public indignation has exhausted itself. Angry attacks from the press—deliberate condemnation by a jury—a calm rebuke from a Legislative committee— have followed each other in regular order, and at each successive blow the character of the company has fallen several degrees. It can now fall no lower. So far as public opinion can avenge the death of the Norwalk victims, they have been avenged. The punishment has not been proportioned to the offence, and the directors are still burthened with a heavy load of unexpiated guilt; but enough has been done to apprize railroad managers of the responsibili- ty of their office, and to impress on the mind of the Legislature the necessity of interfering to protect life. It now rests with the public to render that impression permanent. It is for the electors of the State of New York to call on the Legislature to pass a law for the prevention of railway accidents. Such a measure is now before a committee in the Con- necticut Legislature; and we have every reason to believe that it will be framed on sucha basis as to afford substantial security to tra- vellers. Ina few weeks, we trust, it will be- come a law, and railroad accidents asa natural consequence, will cease to occur in Connecti- cut. Why are we standing still while our neighbors are grasping the nettle? Why is it that we New Yorkers, who give ourselves the credit of leading the Union in matters of trade, science and letters, are so far behind the residents in” the Eastern States in matters of police and general safety? Fifty reasons for the fact could readily be ad- duced, not one of which, however, would re- dound to our credit. We talk, while they act-~ we quarrel and dispute about politics, while they take council for the public good—we pro- crastinate and waste time, whereas they strike the iron while it is hot. Disasters such as the late Norwalk accident are far more likely to occur in this State, which is traversed in every possible direction by immense railway lines, than in the smaller States of the East. For one life that is jeopardized there, ten are at stake here. Not an hour elapses but some mighty train, heavily freighted with human beings, is seen-rolling over one of the tracks which lead from the city—at every moment of the day thousands of men and women are exposed to frightful injury and death on ow ‘w York railroads. Nor can the dan- ger be regarded in any way as imaginary. Day after day it falls to our lot to record accidents which escape attention simply because the pub- lic mind has become so used to horrors that an unusual stimulus is needed to rouse it. It was only a couple of days ago that a whole train was arrested on the brink of a precipice by the breaking of an axle; for several minutes the cars oscillated between the heights above and the abyss beneath. Providence intervened on their behalf; they escaped, and, no lives being lost, no notice was taken of the matter. Had fate willed that, instead of remaining on the track, those cars had fallen into the Hudson, and fitty to one hundred lives been lost, how would the New York Legislature have explained the apathy with which they seem to regard railroad acci- dents? Ifthe express train, which bore so joy- ous acompany from Albany to Niagara last week, had fallen into a river or run foul of a freight train, would the members still think the subject unworthy of special attention? We are sensible of the monotony of our re- peated appeals for legislative interference in this matter. They are not half so wearisome to our readers as to us. Still, with the appalling facts staring us in the face, and a perfect conviction that we shall ultimately be successful. we can- not dismiss the topic as an ephemeral theme. Common sense tells us that the day will come when our United States railways will not have to answer for three times as many deaths in seven weeks as occurred on all the English railways in two years. Plain reason shows that if on all the railways in France and Belgium no more than five deaths occurred in two years, it is monstrous that the total number of deaths on ours, during the same period, should have been nearly seven hundred. The most cursory examination of the railway system in these countries brings to light laws expressly framed for the prevention of accidents and the protection of the public, Those laws do not exist here. Any schoolboy can connect the cause with its effect—the defi- ciency in the law with the insecurity of our railroads. Had any attempt been made to oppose the passage of a law to prevent accidents--had any argument been put forth against its principle—had any remonstrance against its operation been heard —we could understand the cautious course of the Legislature. As it is, public opinion is unanimous on the point. The railroad com- panies themselves are heartily sick of being branded as murderers, and would willingly accept any reasonable mode of compromising for injuries received on their lines. Increased security would produce increased travel-- many individuals who now avoid the New Haven line through fear, would prefer it to the steamers, if their safety was properly guaran- teed. We do not apprehend that the measure we advocate would meet with any serious op- porition from the railroad companies, One of the great abuses that have lain like an incubus on New York has just been removed by a vigorous measure of reform. Let that be now followed by an equally thorough redress of the railrond grievance. The men who framed and carried the new city charter are competent for the task. Members of the New York delegation, the country calls on you to do your duty. ‘Talk on ’Change. Cotton was less active yesterday, and the sales oaly reached 600 bales, the market closing dull. Sugars were more active, while most other articles were languid. There were mutual congratulations on the large majo- rity cast in favor of the reformed charter. ‘The opinion seemed to be pretty general that no im- mediate war was likely to oceur at any of the unemiy points, whether on the Mesilla boundary, the Fishing Banks, or at Constantinople The union of France and England would be sufiieient to keep Europe quiet, while the United States would neither be attacked by Santa Apna on one side, noz by England on the other, The world was too well employed, and ‘09 bary with vast peace projects, to desire a formidable war anywhere. ‘The fast sailing clipper ship Sovereign of the Seas had completed her cargo, and was about ready to sail for Li- verpool. Should she enjoy » good westerly breeze, she could cross the Atlantic in nine or ten days perhaps— and perhaps not. Her competitor, the Young America, railed yesterday for Sen Francisao, on her first trip, and no Coubdt was entertained but that she would give # 490d account of herrelf, ‘The news from San Francisco was considered to bs un- fayorable fort American produce, The staples of flour and perk were dull and lower, owing to oversiovks, and Ledss supple: prow (o Deon tha way.

As farming, however, became extended on the Pacific, the former extravagent prices for pro- visions and flour could scarcely be expected to be reached or maintained for any length of time. It was suggested that the best course to pursue regard- ing the proposed park, in the upper part of the island, would be to have commissioners appointed, whose duty it should be to appraise the property to be taken, and make estimates of the cost of enclosing and beautifying it, and show to what extent the assessments on property in the vicinity should be levied, and to what extent the whole cost would add to the taxes of the city, Then the ques tion should be submitted to the people, “Park” or “No Park.’ Whatever the result might be there could be no grumbling or hard feelings.

Judge Barouio. THE NEGRO BABY CASE CONTINUED——CAPTAIN RYNDERS IN BROOKLYN—EXAMINATION OF THE CHILD—CURIOUS SCENES, ETC., ETO. ‘The Governor's Room in the City Hall, Brooklyn, where Judge Barculo is now holding the Special Term and Cireuit Court, was yesterday morning densely crowded, the audience being in anticipation of the resumption of this matter, which closed the previous day, at a critical and highly interesting stage. Nearly every member of the bar praciising in this county, and many from New York, were present, as were also Mr. Tappan, and several of his frends of both colora. Hugh Eheriff, who had been arrested on th esterday, a# before stated was in custody, and also Ure. Cooper and the child, Mr. Culver, in answer to the court, stated that Capt. Rynders hud not been arrested, the officers charged with the execution of this process being unable to find him, and that process having been returned, he applied for an alias writ, in order that they might make a farther attempt to capture bis, This was forthwith awarded. Mr. James 1. Brady then rore and said, he appeared for Mr. Crumby, who had not, as be was persuaded, been fuilty of any such infraction or violation of the law as ad been iwnputed to him, nor had any of the other par- tier, He bad only himself heard of the transactions of yerterdey, after their occurrence, and he requested UUme to prepare afiidavits. Mr. Culver complained that the officars had been ob structed in the execution of their duty by ths persons then in Court, and farther complained that the prisoner, Crumby, had opposed the officer with violeace, at the time Of his arrest. Mr. Brad; Crumby. The: side which he couki not exereise, but he was preparing the sfiidavi's aod would present them as soon as possible He desired also to see the one upon which the warrant was irsued against Mrs Cooyer, » proceeding which he contended was totally uncalled for, and for which there ‘was no foundation, Judge arculo observed he had thought it the most ex- peditious mode. Mr. Brady wished also to dispose of the matter in the most expeditious manner, and after a few more remarks it was egreed to adjourn the case till the afternoon, tha rerpondent and child being temporarily placed in the custody of the sheriff. At the hour appointed, 3 o’clock, all parties again pre sented themselves, and’ Mr. Brady moved for the div. ebarge of the attachments as against Mrs. Cooper and Crumby, on the ground of alleged misstatements. in the deputy sherif’s affidavit, which he read, as also one sworn to by Mrs. Cooper, setting forth the circumstances of her arrest on Tuerday, and denying any intention of eon- macy. The Jucge said the warrant was not against Mrs. Cooper, but to bring the child before him, and Mrs. Corer was, therefore, not in custody, but free to go. Mr. Brady then read an affidavit from Mr. Crumby, setting forth he had only taken the warrant from the officer to get it copied as he deemed necessary, and noc with any intention to obstruct the officer, to whom he had handed it back gain. ‘The Court oon-idering the affidavit unsatisfactory with reference to the employment or connection with Ciptain Ryrders, direct the defesdant, Crumby, to attend this morning, and discharged him, in the meantime, on his own recognizance At thi: juneture of the proceedings, Capt. Rynders en- tered the Court and tock his seat beside Mr. Brady. The attachments havirg been disposed of, the return of the habeas corpus was read. It was the same, in effect, as that made in New York, denying that the claimact, Chasles Trainer, was ever marricd lawfully to the mother of the ehild, ske having been a slave and hea freeman; that Jaze Trainer was not restrained of her liberty, but re- mained of her own free will, aud so forth, and further, that the writ bad been intued under precisely the same circumstances ax the one disposed of by Judge Duer, who heid that the +aid Jace Trainer was free, and the defend- ant ionisted that such adjudication was’ complete bar to any further proceedings. ‘That said Chorles Trainer was a man Cf lecherous and dissolute propensities.
