We else- where give a full summary of the leading features of the news, the most important of which, relates to the invasion of the Mexican State- of Sonora, by Count Boulbon. Accounts from Oregon presbat no- thing new or interesting. We have advices from the Great Salt Lake to the 30th of April. Governor Young had issued a proclamation ordering out an armed force to reconnoltre “‘a horde of Mexicans,” who had entered Utah territory for the purpose of inciting the Indians to make aggressions on the inha- Ditants. A speech df the Prophet—in another oluma—wherein he ‘ comes down” on apostates in very savage manner, will be-read with interest. Altogether the Latter Day Saints are in a very _ ourishing cendition. Our special Washington correspondent writes that, + potwithstanding the pretended unconcern of the Canadiens, New Brunswickers, and Neva Scotians, the British government is really very derirous of set- tling the fishery and-reciprocity questions, as is evinced by the recent instructions to Minister Cramp- ¢72, urging action upon these subjects as soon as possible. It is intimated that Mr. Buchanan is de- sirous. of having the negotiations transferred to Lon- don, but that Secretary Marcy is impressed with the ‘belief that they can be arranged in Washington. ‘Our correspondent furnishes a list of several persous appainted to office in different parts of the country— ‘among otliers we observe the name of Samuel Bird- tall, as Postmaster at Schenectady. According to the despateh from our Concord cor. x espondent considerable etir was created in the New BR ‘ampshire Democratic Convention, shortly after its or Wanization yesterday morning, by the attempted int eduction of a resolation, purporting to have been ara Woup by Hon.

What is notali ‘le singular, Mr. Barke, who offered the ob- noxious Tesolution, was himself the President of the Convent ‘on. Now thet a few prominent men ix his native St ate have thus openly expressed dissatisfac- tion with Gen. Pierce, it is not improbable that their exa) "ple will be followed.

Zhe other account de- clares that the committee’are getting along amicably, and are in.a fair way of compromising their difficul- ties. For-the sake of the tax payers of the State it is sincerely boped that the jset assertion may be cor- rect, although it is likely the teveme will be the case, from the fact that the lesders af the antagonistic fac- tions, Messrs.

Alderman Peck stated his reason s for declining to occupy his seat, and the question being a very nice, technical one, the Recorder eent for the District At- torney to communicate to the bench what he con- ceived to be the law on the subject. Mr. Blunt stated his conviction that the amendments to the charter were not im force until <atter the official pro- mulgation by the Board of Cayavassers of the result of the balloting. Such promulgation not having keen as yet made, the Aldermen ‘were bound, as under the old charter, to exercise their faculties as asso- ciate judges. In this opiniois, the Court acquiesced, and the AKtermes took their seats as usual.

Is It Lawful to Publish Police Reports? We publish to-day, in -another part of our columns, the very able and enlightened decision recently pronounced in the Superior Court by Judge Bosworth. in a civil action of libel against the proprietor of the New York Hz- RALD. It may be remembered that some twelve months since our cotemporery, the Courier and Enquirer, found itself condemned in costs in a libel cuit, for publishing an ex parte com- plaint made before a police magistrate in this city. The Court, consisting of three Judges— Duer, Mason and Campbell—not satisfied with condemning the defendant in the costs, con- ceived it necessary. as a guide for his future conduct, to inform him that a sound public opinion “should encourage that homely doc- trine of diligent attention to one’s own affairs and of thinking no evil of others, except as a knowledge of such evil is forced upon us by business or by duty; an opinion which frowns upon those who pander to, and nourish with daily food, that morbid curiosity whieh finds its aliment in the frailties or vices of our race.” This type of a sound public opinion met with the most unqualified approbation from all those ill-treated individuals, whose “frailties or vices” made them the subjects of complaint at any of our city police courts; and after that, when any of the aforesaid gentry had the mis- fortune to be “brought up.” if the “ panderers to morbid curiosity” (the press) ventured to in- form the public of the interesting event, forth- with “sound public opinion” sought to vindi- cate its wrong, and soothe its outraged feelings, by resorting to an action for a libel. We have, however. never doubted that as public journal- ists it was onr duty and our right to publish fair and impartial reports of what took place at our police courts, and in consequence we have received our full share of that ‘sound public opinion;” but. never halting, we have pursued eur way. trusting toa correct interpretation of the law to justify our course. : We published the report of a charge preferred against a boy named Barber. for which we were favored with a libel suit. That suit Judge Bos- worth has decided in our favor. He broadly | asserts the right of the press to publish the re- ports of proceedings before police magistrates when the accused is present, and from the tenor of his opinion we believe that when the point is presented to him he witi as broadly assert the right to publish ex parte complaints. His opinion justifies the conciusion that he has an intellect capable of penetrating the fog of pre- cedents and judge-made jaw, and deciding the question on principle and constitutional rights. The constitution of our St«te guarantees free- dom of speech, which includes the right to write or speak the truth, whatever that truth may be, without being amenable in a civil action for damages. The truth is always a defence in an action for damages; there is, however, what some suppose an exception—where B tells A that C js a thief, and A says to another. B told me that C is a thief; unless C is actually a thief, A is liable to an action for repeating what B told him. And it is no justification for A to allege that it is trne he was 60 inform- ed. and that if C is injured, he may sue B, be- cause what B eaid to A was a wrong done to C, for which an action could be maintained ; and when A repeated what B said, he repeated the wrong. and wae equally ligble to be sued aswas B. Bntif in the case supposed, B had occasion to believe that C was a thief instead of communicating his suapicion to A, he had a right, and it was his duty. to communicate his suspicion, and the grounds thereof to an officer of justice. authorized by Jaw to apprehend sus- pected persons. If B had so done, he would have done right ;. and if he acted without ma- lice, or with probable cause, then. evon al though C was not guilty of the impated of- fexce, the law would have lent its sanction to the act of B, and declared him justified in what te had done, whatever the prejudice re- sulting fe C; and if after this A had narrated the cirenmetance of B’s acensation and of C’s ; fos he ‘did no | more; @nd in publishing the occurrence, A stated what was true, and no more, The difference in the two cases is this: In the ‘one the act of B was “wrong.” and A in re- peating that act repeated the “wrong;” he spoke the “truth, and something more.” The truth, so far, that what he said had indeed been told him by B, and the “something more” by the repetition, he in effect says C isa thief. In the other case, B did what was “right” and no more, and in stating what B had done. A published what was “true and no more.” The fuct of A’s publishing the circumstance might be matter of annoyance to C; so, in a higher degree was the fact that the accusation was made; but the accusation was made and the law upheld the accuser; and, the accusation being made, it became an event, “a fact” in the life of C, which to publish was to publish ealy the lisher to a civil action. It is upon this ground thet a fair and impar- tial report of a trial is held to be privileged. It is upon this ground Judge Bosworth has ée- cided that a police report—the ‘accused being present—is privileged; and taking this as the ground for the privilege, it is impossible to dis- ‘tinguish between the cases where the accused is absent and where he is present—between re- ports of a police court and reports of the pro- ceedings of any other court. The difficulty has arisen from: confounding the repetition of a slander merely 23 go: with the repetition of a slander to © judicial triunal. There is a material distinction be- tween the cases, one subserves no goed purpose, the other subserves'the ends of justice. A dis- regard of this distinction misled the judgments of those who decided against the right. Judge Bosworth’s opinion will doubtless dispel the sophism; and, in future, the right to publish police reports will probably be conceded by the bench and practised by the press without hesi- tation. Tue Brack Swan at THE Starrorp Hovsk.— The nobility of the British empire. of both sexes. and a large number of them, as it app2ars, have given a splendid welcome to the Black Swan at the Stafford House. And upon such an endorsement, with anything like the tact of Barnum and:Gen. Tom Thumb, this lucky Black Swan may ‘pocket a handsome fortune out of the humbugged and easily humbugged aboli- tion philanthropy of John Bull. She may eclipse in England, in the wake of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe and Uncle Tom’s Cabin, not only the astounding success of Gen. Tom Thamb, the Pottawatomie Indians, and the negro min- strels, but the run of Jenny Lind herself, be- fore even the Nightisfyale was turned into a Goldschmidt. The Black Swan may do this, and we expect her to do it. She may draw upon the sympathizing subjects of Victoria to her heart’s.content, and we hope she will. It would be a shame if such a gelden opportunity were to be thrown.away. The next question is, what will the Black Swan do with her money? <A testimonial, we believe, isin process of collection in England, for Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe ; and our ako- litionists and “free colored Americans” are ear- nestly and anxiously expecting and wondering what she will do with the money. Perhaps she will establish an abolition newspaper with it, or a hospital, or asylum, or a college of some kind for “free colored Americans” in New York. or Ohio, or elsewhere. Perhaps she may invest it in the stocks of the various under ground rail- roads from Mason and Dixon’s line to Canada. Whatever appropriation she may make of it, we doubt not it will be to some benevolent object in behalf of our colored population. They have been the making of her, and she is bound to do something for them in return. But what will the Black Swan do with all the money, whieh we are quite confident she is go- ing to extract from the philanthropic pockets of John Bull? Mrs. Stowe has fairly pulled the wool over his eyes, and Miss Greenfield has only to fix the price of her tickets, sing a song or two. and pocket her thousands. And then, iffin seme way she can only associate her mu- sical tour with the amelioration.of the condi- tion of the African race of this country, she will rise at onee to the dignity ofa saint in the cause of human rights. and thus add five hun- dred per cent at least, to the clear profits of her venture. But what will she do with her money? When she has fifty or a hundred thousand dollars to spare, we would suggest its appropriation to the American Colonization Scciety. with a view to the building up of Li- beria into a great independent black republic, from which the whole of the dark and benight- ed continent of Africa may be regenerated through the blessings of civilization and Chris- tianity. Never mind the opposition of Fred. Douglas, or G. K. Downing, to Liberia. The “free colored Americans” of the North, inc ding Canada; are more in need of British charity than the Uncle Toms of the South. Let the Black Swan do something. therefore, for our free colored population—Mrs. Stowe and the ladies of Staf- ford House will doubtless supply the necessary funds to complete the great work of Southern emencipation. But, in any event, let the Black Swan profit from the philanthropic disposition of John Bull. He loves to be humbugged ina good cause, and bleeds freely. Nothing like it. More Goin Discovertes.—We publish to-lay two very important and highly interesting pisces of intelligence connected with the fresh discoveries gold mines on this continent. One of these, documents is some extracts from a letier received by a gentleman in New York, from his relation in Texas, corroborating the existence of valuable gold mines in that State, The only difficulty in the way is, that the regions moet rich in the production of gold are at present in the power of and infested by the Camanche Indians. whem it will be necessary to dislodge by force, before mining operations can be successfully carried on. This, however, will not long be allowed te act as a preventive to active operations, if our correspondent’s assurances are as true as we have every reason to believe they are. The other article to which the attention of our readers is dirceted, is one which we have translated froma Valparaiso journal, and which will amply repay perusal. It appcars thata distingnished Irish officer, whogerved gallantly in the South American war of independence, has organized an expedition, with the afd of the government. to develope the immense mine- ral resources «f the wild regions of Peru. whene, in 1834 and 1885, he had made extensive ex- plorations, and discovered three auriferous rivers, from which he had brought back speci- mens of the gold scattered in immenso quanti- Cee ee Danks, Tis territory is in bie hands of the Chancho Indians, who are to be truth, and which could not subject the pub- al | Aa posed of prior to adjournment. Several bills were | wrong. 3B did only what was right, and no pase’ 2d by both houses; but, so fer as appearanaes go, the se is yet vo protpect that'they will either give as ar } ome. dislodged by the force of two hundred men and four pieces of field artillery, which Gen. O’Brien takes with him. Another expedition. composed of two hun- dred Germans, French and Italians, is being also fitted out by govermental aid, to carry on gold mining operations along two other rivers. It is considered. with great show of probabi- lity, that these regions will surpass in wealth the gold fields of Australia and California. Where and when will these gold discoveries end? CanavasaL Ler Leos Acaw.—That ente me prising, fulibustero, Caravajal, lately captu red by the United States troops on the Rio Gra nde, and beld over to trial for the alleged infre,ction of gar treaty stipnlations with Mexico, bas been let loose again. We may next expect to hear & his invasion, with a force of several hundred men, of some of the border towns of Mexico; for at this crisis he will not be slow to perceive that a spark will suffice to light again the Dlaze of wer between Mexico and the United States. Ieok out for Caravajal next on the Mexican‘side of the river, with a proclamation of war against Santa Anna, Things are begin- ning to be quite lively all along our Southern frontiers. Tux New Cuarrer.—A general sense of satis- faction pervades the community upon the great victory of the new charter, and there seems to be «. prevailing idea that the charter iteelf is to bring about all the reforms and retrenchments in the Corporation so long required. But if the lew is to be evaded, as it has been, this charter” will prove as weak against the tide of corrup- tion as a rope of sand, A rigid enforcement of the law is first of all demanded. If upon that test it is found to be still leaky and rickety, the people must put in the pruning knife again. That’s all. Rome was not built in a day. Talk on ’Change. Cotton closed dull, with sales of 600 bales. There was no change of moment in other leading articles of pro- duce. ‘there were private letters received froin England, which spoke of important advices having been received in Lon. don, by overland mail and telegraph from China, ‘The news, in a commercial poiat of view, was looked upon as highly critiesl to the China trade. The belief wa that Navkin could not be saved from the eonquest of the rebels, The most that foreign interference could do would be to defend Shanghae, with the proverty of for- eige merchants, It was a matter of doubt, whether the reinforcements sent forward from the Canton district, ‘were not as likely to join the rebsla as to fight for the Emperor. The disaffeetion appeared to be so general as to render the fidelity of Chinese troops very unee:tain. The subvercion of the Chinese Empire, under any cir- cumstances, could not fail to produce great disturbances in the commercial affairs cf the world, in which those of England and the United States would feel more sensibly than apy other countries. The change, it was true, might oe temporary, and a new state of things more fa- vorable to trade and civilization might beeome estab. lished. Holders of teas and other China staple goods in this market, were disposed to withhold sales until further parti- culars could be reeeived by mail due in London. The Pacific due here in two or three-deys, would bring full accounts with letters from China for houses in this eity. Much anxiety was felt on the subject, and the Pacide’s arrival would be watched for with deep interest. The conoen- tration of the Japan expedition at Hong Kong, under the command of Commodore Perry, was considered very op- portune, and it was hoped that it might be able to reader important services to American interests at Shanghae, an¢ other points. Without the authority of the home geverpment, the American Minister, nor the American yestels-of-war, could enter into a triple league ¢> sustain the #mperor. All that eould be done would be to protect Americans and their property, as far as practicable. It wae said that the threatened expedition of the Count Boulbcn into Sonora should be stopped, at all hazards, by the United States authorities in Caiifornia, aided by such Jand apJ paval forces as were at command. As regarded the canal question before the Legislature at Albany, opinions were divided, but the Vanderbilt plan, with the nullification of the contracts of 1851, re- ceived most favor. It was suggested that certain portions of the Merchants’ Exehange might be eonvenieutly used for the Assay Of- fice. Others suggested rooms in the Bonded Warehouse, Broadway ; but there wae no spare room to be had there, nor at the Custom House. The sct prohibited the pur. chase of a building. It would be best, if practicable, to secure such @ house or Jocation as would admit, by a moéerate outlay, of its being converted into a mint. Others thought that Congress ought to appropriate sufil- cient monez to erect a large, central and convenient building, suitable fora city post office in one part, and for a mint in the other. The steamship Atlantic, to sail for Livergool on the Jith inst., was full of freight, and had a large number of passengers engaged. Serlous Accident to Mejor General Scott We regret to have to announce that a very severe nc- cident, and one which may have been attended with the most dangerous, if not fatal consequences, ozearred to General Winfield Scott, in this city, upon last Wedne:day night. It appears that about nine o’cbock in the eveniog, the General left his residence, at No. 128 Twelfth street, near the Fifth avenue, for the purpose of taking a walk. He turned into the aveane and was proceeding upwards: but when he arrived between Thirteenth and Fourteeuth streets, he wished tocrous from the right to the left hand ride of the way. Here, there was sowe inequality of the flogging of the sidesalk, and al-o of the pavement of the carriage road, and in stepping from off the sidewalk across the channel, the General imagined that he was placing bis foot upon the road, when in reality the sur face was several inches lower than he calculated upon. From this very familiar cause of accident, General Scott lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground, pitching upon the right side of his fece aud head, and upon and his right arm. The fall wag yeudden and severe, owing to the woakners which eaihta in his left arm, in oonsequence of @ gunshot wound, re- ceived, we believe, at Chippewa, and...) prevented him using it to support the balance of hispe on. When about to arise he was promptly assist: by -ne gentle- men who were passing ot the moment, ., whom he was attended to his house. The old hero betrayed neither alarm or nervousness upon the ecearion, nor did he complain of pain, although convineed that he was seriously hurt; for when the gen- tlemen offered to support him by the arm, he raid, quite cooly—Don’t touch that; I believe it is broken.’’ The right side of his face received some severe scrapes and a couple of contusions. Upon arriving at his residence, the General went to bed, where be was immediately attended by Doctor Simp- son, of the United States Army. After examination of the arm, the doctor pronounced that it was not broken; but the General was still of opinion that a fracture had coourred. Upon inquiring at the hoare, at six o'clock yesterday evening. our reporter was informed that General Scott wax still confined to his bed, and under the care of Surgeon Simpson; that there was considerable local irritation ex- ting upon the injured parts of his face, and that tho loctor waa still convinced the arm was not broken, but that the General was yet under the impression it was. We were glad to hear that he was ensy and quiet, At the time the accident occurred, the night was very dark, and the irregularities of the flagging and pave ent were not discernable. We with the General a speedy recovery. Crystal Palace, ‘This buildirg has made very considerable progress with- io the last ten days.

His impreesion was, how- ever, that he had not acted ing proper manner ut the time of the arrest of the colored girl, At least he was not eatiefied in regard to it, and therefore wished to ex: amine both Mr. Crumby and Mr. Hegemsan before he could decide, By egreewent of counsel, the decision of the Court was reserved until Monday next; end in the meantine Mc. Crumby is held in his own recognizance to apoear. Mr Brady then preceeded with his argument, and after relating whe circumstances under which the child was brought to Cincinnati and thence to New York, ard the legal proceedings in the cese up to this time, produced authorities to show that the statute under which the writ of hubeas corpus was granted was applicabie only to one solitary case, aud that was where ths liberty of the Pers ® Was ieétrained, which he contended was not the case iv this instance, He followed substantially the same line of argumest as inthe proceedings befare Judge Juer, and referred the Court to ihe decision of that Jus- tice. Mr. Culver followed, in a epeech of considerable length. on ihe part of the appliennt, reiterating in effect his ar- gument previously made upon the sawe subject. Judge Bareulo stated that he should reserve his dect- sion until Mi nday, and in the meantime would place the child in the custody of Mr. Lott, the Sheriff of Kings county. In suswer to the request made by Mr. Culver, that the father cf Jane Trainer arded the priviege of &) ing With his child, (which hud yesterday been dunit cept in the presevee of otber parties,) the Court state that the Sheriff could use his own dircretion. The crowd then gradually dispersed, und the room was soon relieved of all except lawyers and their clients, who had business before the Cirsuit Court. Engine Company No. 1. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. New York, June 8, 1853. T noticed in your paper of vhis morning, under the head of “City Intelligence » (and in the other journals of this city.) an article published ujon the report of policemen Dunn and Henry Mooney, wherein it is stated that an al- tereation \ook place between Engine Company No. 1 and Hock and | adder Company No. 8, aod that two men were #tebbed—one seriously so; they also say that they saw a fight was likely to cccur between the two companies on their home, ard that they followed them some dis- tance—it would reem not to prevent the fight, but to see it take place, and to stop it after it bad taken place and after the astailants had e-esped. Sir, this statement, published in your paper and other jouroals in this city, whercin they have tried to hocdwiak the public aud m, themrelves appear as smart and vigilant policemen, pro- claims them guilty of neglect of duty, and in consequeace of such neglect one, if not both, of the:e men stabbed have been nearly ceprived of their lives. It also states that said companies ure in the habit, as apyears by the olice returns, of getting up false alaram every evening. Now, sir, this ie untrue. It is fal-e, and che returan, if 80, are also fale. and be who made those returns did so ith a malicious intent and desire to de- stroy snd break up said sompanies. In conclusion, and in justioa to Engine Compary No. 1, of which I have the honor of being foreman, allow me to state that allthe disturbance or fight mentioned took place between perrovs net m-mbers of either of those companies, but with outsiders acd runners with whom my company has no connection; and. to elear this matter up. the compary ask au tovestigation from the proper authorities. Yours, very respectfnlly, JAMES M. BYRNE, Foreman of Hudson Fire Engine Company No. 1, 671 Eighth avenue, City Intelligence.
