FINANCIA MONEY MARKET. Moxnar, Sept. 14-6 P. M. The stock market was very mueh unsettled this morn- ing. Some of the fancies were a little shaky, while others were firm, and closed at am advance. At the first feard, Morrie Canal declined *; per cent ; Gold Hill Mine, Mj Nicaragua Transit Co., ‘5; Phontx Coal, 114 ; Yow York Control Railroad, { ; Reading Railroad, <. Canton Company advanced \ per cent; Cumberland Coal, \ ; Harlem Railroad. \ ; Erie Railroad, %{ ; Norwich and ‘Worcester Railrow, 34; Hudsom River Railroad, \. ‘There does not sppearto be any movemert of much strength excep? in Erie Railroad stock, and it is a ques- ‘tiem if the “ trearurer’s clique ”’ ean carry that up much liigher. Before the recent rise commenced, that party heid upwa@s of twenty thousand shares, and to carry it up to the present points, nearly as much again must shave been purchased. Everything depends upon how long the combixation can carry such a lead. It iy easy enongh to buy @ fancy stock, if one leas the means, but selling 1s a different thing entirely, amd s0 the speculators fora rise in Exie will find one of these days, The pudiic will not take hold of the stocks at any price, There are now s dozen sellers where there is one buyer, and +o it will continue. The small holders are selling. Lots of five, eight, ten and fifteen shares are aold daily atthe board, showing clearly what class of holders are realizing. The tendency of most of the lead ing fancies is upward, and as the money market loses its ateingency, prices will to doubt improve, without much speculative in provement.

Judge Betts, Sart, 14 —The Grand Jury, of which Mr. Henry Erben was foreman, were sworn in this morning before Jadge Botta in his bers, the court room being occupied by the Cireuit, Hia Honor briefly addressed them, saying that he would not require them to rise, the accommodation was so bai, while he made very brief reference to the calendar. There are some sixteen or eighteen cases presented for notice, several of them against masters of vessels for bringing excess of passengers to this » which subjects them to imprisonment and fice. @ policy of the Cr bsteanes ed Goa meet their peepee There are £61 e Ty 6 st seamen for mutinous {conduct on shij one re would not be in- structive to the jury for him to enlarge on that law; it would be sufficient to say that any refusal to do di any violent sition to the orders of the master, is tinous conduct. and subjects the offender to Then there are some charges of fraud on Cal Appice by parties entering fale invoices. The District Attorney would axtend the Grand Jury, and lay the facts before them. Then there are several ons with as- sault with a dangerous weapon. To constitute that of- fence itis not necessary there should be actual wound- ing. Ifa man attempt to strike another with a danger- cus weapon, a knife, or any other dangerous instrument, it is sufficient to constitute the offence, even though he inflict no injury. There are cha: of counterfeiting, Tt is not iitmah rae the party cl actually making the coin; if instruments for that purpose ere found in his possesaton it fs enough, unless satisfac- torily accounted for. There is a charge also for resisting a custom houee officer. It is not only necessary to in. duce every citizen to obey the law. but it is proper to put them under criminal punishment for resisting its officers. There ia a charge seule two perzons for manslaughter onthe highseas. If the death was caused in defence of life, cr under other justifiable circumstances, it does not amount to manslaughter; but if the life is taken without these mitigating circumstarces, the persons charged are lable to be placed on trial for manslaughter. Congress regards manslaughter as little more than a misdemeanor, If 8 man stab another at sea the law Papin him with a fine and very severe imprisonment; but if he kill the person, the law considers it a or, and the pun- ishment ir com; tively light. There is a charge of lar- ceny on the high seas There is a case against pilots serv- ing without license. ‘The act, as far as he (Judge Botts) could cee, subjects the persons so offending to a fine only; but perhaps the District Attorney would be able to point out tothe Grand Jury some portion of th t under which it is made a criminal offence. There is a charge of cruelty at sea. Masters have the power of punishing sailors for insubordination, but for any act of cruel or unusual punishment they were formerly only liable to an action for damages. In 1835, however, Congress ta criminal offence for a master to inflict cruel and unusual punishment. For instance, if a cook negloct his business, and to punish him 2 master sonds him to the masthead, that would be cruel to him, as, not being a sailor, it might eudanger his life. If the Grand Jury fourd that the punishment was inflicted by the mastor or the mate from malicious feclings—that it was 1 and inflicted without reasonable and proper cause, a1 fer a malicious metive, then it would render the party liable to the criminal chi . The accommodation was such that he (the Judge) had been obliged to discharge the petty jury. No case can, therefore, be tried this term, but the court would receive the bills found by the Grand Jury, aud they would dispose of the petty jury next month, Havana, part at Sapremo Conrt. carn rene rope, at ue Tela oF Wm.

PARIS FASHI STATE OF THE MARKETS. &e., XO, ke The U. 8. M. steamship Franklin, Capt. Wotton, from Havre and Cowes, arrived yesterday morning at six o'clock. She made the passage in twelve days and cig& hours, The F. brought over six hundred tons of French and Swiss goods, and one hundred and sixty passengers. Among the passengers is John H. Powell, with his painting of the discovery of the Mississippi, for the capi tol; Geo. W. Kendall, of the New Orleans Picayune, and Mr. R. E. Launtz and Mr. Greenough, kculptors. ‘The Franklin was detained one day at Havre, by the lowness of the tides on the French coast preventing her from getting out of the dock. She left that port at nine o’cloek A. M. of the 1st instant, and arrived off Cowes on the afternoon of the same day, to embark the English mails and passengers sent via Southampton. ‘The British and North American royal mail steamer Niagara reached the Mersey on the 28th ult., from Boston and Halifax. ‘The Arctic arrived at 5 o’clock P. M. on the 30th ult, et Liverpool. When the Franklin left, the United States surveying brig Dolphin, Lieut. Berryman, United States Navy, Com- mandor, was at Southampton, having put into thet port to refit. Her officers had been entertained by Mr. An- drewa, the ex Mayor of Southampton, at his country seat, near Winchester. We observe that the passengers by the Washington had presented an elegant silver pitcher to Captain F. M. Fitch, the commander of that ship, in testimony of his masterly skill and seamanship, displayed in the terrific gale of wind which blew at the time he made the English coast, on the 26th ult., and during which he navigated the ship safely through the Needles passage without the aid of a pilot, No pilots were outside on the occasien, in consequence of the fearful nature of the weather. The British frigate Deedalus, from the Pacific, arrived at Plymouth on the 20th ult. having $1,400,000 in specie. Bir Henry Barkly, the new Governor of Jamaica, had taken his departure for his new government, in the Brit- ish serew ship of-war Brisk. This vessel bad put into Falmouth from stress of weather, whence she sailed on the 30th ult. At the London corn markets on the 29th and 3ist ult., considerable business was done in all doscriptions of grain, but we cannot report any advance in prices over those brought by the last steamer. The advance noted by the Asia was fully maintained, but a pause in specu- lation had taken place, owing to a lessened demand from the continental buyers. Flour was in good request, and firm, American barrels being sold in the London market at 20s. 6d. to 31s. Barley and oats alightly firmer. ‘The Liverpool cotton market on the 31st ult , was rather firmer. Sales 7,000 to 8,000 bales; 1,C00 for export and speculation, The London money market had suddenly become tight er. Capitalists were drawing in their loans, and a fur- ther rise in the rate of discount on the part of the Bank of England was expected, The chicf reason of this un‘a- vorable state of affairs was the constantly incressing de- matd for morey, the high price of grain, and the drain of bullion to Russia.

This littie addi- tion, however, greatly neods confirmation, for, if such an act of inhumanity had really been attempted, it would inorease. if possible, the strong feeling of repro- bation this transaction has excited. But the creusd on which the Americans have adopted this querrel, and the interference of their ofticer, is thats foreigner, merely taken the preli:sinary steps towarda beceming a citizen of the United States, by declaration of such intention, is to be re. es an American citizen, and to be entitled thenceforth to the protection of the American forces all over the world. By the laws of the United States an alien may acquire the rights of citizea- sbip by declaring on oath his intention to renounce the of his own sovereign, this declaration being made two years at least before his admission, and he must also have resided five years in the country. The privileges of citizenship are thus conferred ibecay, and it dces not appear that there is any pro in act of Co: of 1828 analogous to that in our owr re- cent legislation on this sabient weit excludes natural- ized alievs from any positive cl to the C4 their ed country when they are beyond its fromtierg.

Chief Justice Elsworthy init aren ta the Circuit Court of the United States t— No visionary writer oarried the principle to the extent that a citizen might at any and ‘at all times renouneo his own and join himself to s foreign country; and no inference of consent could be drawn from the act of too government in the naturalication of fo not ingaire into the prevjous relations of party, ard, if he ombar- rassod himself by coutracting contradictory obligations, it was his own folly or his fault.

But the case is totally Gifierent when a political refugee assumes a foreign national character only on his schemes with impunity ; and the rights of citizenship, which are conferred as a privilege and a favor, are thus tuted and abused. Nay, more, the peacefal relations of two States may be disturbed because certain individuala bave contracted, for their own purposes, conflicting obi. gations between them. No wise governmeat would al- Tow itself to be entrapped {alo foreign quarrola oa such @ ilimsey pretence as this.

We have called attention to this subject, becnuse the present instance is by po means an uncdmumon or iao'ated one. ‘There arc in this country, in the United States, andl in Turkey, vast numbers of political refugees, wi only Lope of recovering power and a home is to rekindle & confiegration ia Furope, and to obtain, if possible, the support of rome regularly organized power. To farther object they employ all the means at their command to embroil this country and the United States with the continental nations, and to Turkey to rum the ticks of war. That peace which is so dear toall the great interests of the world ts the seal of their outlawzy or their bondage. The revolutionary party of 1848 ea- tortains no hopes of success but in the evant of war. That is the reason why every incident that can inflame the hostile passions of the people is so eagerly iaid held of by the revolutionary chiefs, and that is also the reason for which every responsible and rational government ought tobe on its guard against altorcations of this nature, and should avoid attaching to them more inm- portance than they deserve ; for whatever war or what- ever disturbaxces break out in the present state of Furope will turn to the advantage of no party but that oo eternal enemies of legal order and fsck § imperove- ment.

The latter was addressed more to the proeervation of our fiaherios, inasmuch as the bays | orindentations of s coast line include the most productive waters though here also the maxims of public law were found to apply, since by the roceived understanding in such watters & coast line, inatoad of folloving the sinu- osities of the shore, is always measured from headland te headland Clearly, therefore, the American interprota- tion of the case, by which they claimed ingress to our bays on condition only of keeping the specitied distance from the ekorea, was altogether untenable. fho simple truth of the matter was this :—There was a time when. these North Amezican terzitories were all under one go- vertuiont igni@, and when the waters in (juestion wera n to Canadians and New Englanders in common, This state of things was interrupted by the Revolution which left the United States indegendent, kut which deprived | them cf their former privileges on the coasta, atti par- | taining to the Jiritish crown, As these febing grounds were by far the bost, they naturally felt the loss, ana from that time to this ave endeavored by various methods to recover the original right, The real ques- tion, a8 we took occasion to remark last year, how- ever it might have been limited in the ostensible dis- pute, always involved the whole priviloge of common shory; and our views were catiroly confirmed before Americans themselves. It was fairly acknowledged that even the concession of the point rolating to tne bays would not sattefy the claimants or put any eficctive step jo the dispute, What wea wantod was, that tho New England fishermen should rogain the old’ privilege of fish- ing in British waters as freoly aa if they were etill Bri- tish subjects, ‘This dosire was af one moment undia- guisedly avowed under the assertion of certain “ natu- ral rights,’? giving all men an equal Utle to catch codfish anywhero, just as the samolofty principles were ap; to in proof of the commupity of another a jen of goods knows by the namo of guano. At last, however, the moro reasonable policy has boon adopted of troating for the coveted advantages by tho ordinary way of bar- gain and rale, and nego'lations are ponding between the two goveruments for the cession, not only of fishing rights, bat of othor privi eges, to the Americans on receip’ of certain equitable cessions in rotarn. It appears that the ‘ritigh government is not unwil- ions, to place American fishermen respects of cur own colonists, and thus to terminate absolutely all chances of difference im respect to these matters, In return, it is understood that demands haya been preferred on our side for the re~ pealot import duttes on colonial teh, the stoppage of the bountiés now paid to American fishermon, and a rect precity of privilege for British fishormen in American waters. ‘the Jost condition Is Iitule botter than nominal, | for Drit'sh (isherwen have already waters enough of | their own, ror do we see how the other terms could be Hable to substantial excoptioa.
