This cage was adjourned until this day, in order thet all the papers in tho various proovedings connected with it mgbt be submitted to the Coart. Mx. Whitiog, counsel for the claimacts, opened the case by reading thede papers, which were prodused, as follown:—Iet, the requistion of the President, dated lst November, 1653; 4, affidavit of Fannell, ths Londoa policeman, for whiot Commissioner Nelson’s warrant was {eeued; 34, the Con missioner’s warrant directing the ap prehension of Heiibrona; 4th, copies of ths original afli- Cavits taken in Eogiand, charging Heilbrovn with the alleged forgery; Sch, = copy of the warrant of Mr- Mogridge, the London magistrate; 6th, the commitment by Commireioner Nelson, dated Jaa, 4, 1854, Th, ao order of the Department of State for the extradition, dated Feb. 1, 185 ud Sch, Fanaell’s afidavit recount: ng the waole of the proceedings. Mr Whiting would wish it to appear that he came be- fore this court without having enythingto conceal. The precent qcestion was one cf very grave importance, inas rmouch as if this court ed in opinion wich the general government a physical collision might be the result. He run itted the following points ta support of his viow of the cate:— 1, Lost this case, srieiog under w treaty between the : Btetes government ands foreign po» 9-, is mot suo: to the judicial power cf » State tibural, . The treaty tteelt conlices the exercise of jadiciel power uncer it to the reepeotive judges and other ma Ciotrates cf the two goverumente—it cx vi lerming ex: elncos sil State power and euthority, B The act of Cogiens, ao fax as it confers powsr upon the Judges of the seversi State courts to execute the trea ty, is of no binding wuthority upon the St They are not boand to exeou If they act at all ti t voluntarily and uuder the power conferred by Con: BreHr, anc are qu tue Courts of government of the United St "as they wapy ey exercise a delegated power from thy govecument Nope of the powers uhesent ia the Constitution, ac solely. by virtue of sey Sate autbority, would eaable them to pars upow any question arvisg either ander the treaty Or act of Congress. 4 In the care before the Court, no State an thority has been invelved by ei ber of the twa governments, now parties in thia proceecipg, The executive authority of the United States has, upon s proper and solemn femand of the Britiel governmeat, calied into exercise the judi- cial euthority of tho Uxited Stetes in the due execution cf the treaty. That authority has beea duly ani legally exerched, snd the decisions of the commissioner are sojely subject to review under the judiciai aad executive avthority of the United States. 5. The acte of those tribunals, whether exercising exe cutive or judicial power, or each performing duties par. taking of the ovaracters of both combined, ars alone sad- ject to review by the judicial power of the United States. 6. Wiile the S ate court might have consented to per. form tho duty of executing the treaty and act of Congress, yet when the judicial power of the federal goverament bas been involved and put in exercise, 1t excludes the of all power by the State tribunal upon the same matt 7. Under SBy power to inquire into margnce?, State Wsieel pareee Of w United States cfiicer, any farther Thad dycis<istlon er the authority attempted to be exercised is over & subject matter gonfided to it, 8.

A State court cannot exercise jurisdiction, on the ground that ibore is no provision for a rerieq of errors of inferior United es ofilcers; the remedy hes elsewhere than in judicial legislation. 11. 4 Ueeision of w State oficer on habeas corpus fs in Ss courts conclusive as to ull matters adjudicated up to ime of such adjadtes ; & fortiori is such @ de- cision conclusive by a court of the Unites St 12, The acjudication of Judge legersoll directly upon the question sought to be reviewed here, is conclusive, and this court cannot review it. 15. If the question of the guilt or insocense of the priconer be reviewed by this oouct, it would present the movel and much to be-regretted spectacle of weakness and imyecility of the judicial power of the Uaited States, | which would wake our government (he sudjcct of reproach to every nation. 1 ‘his point, howsver, the crime of forgery is com- as the simulated paper {s made wita intent ; the qnesticn of forgery is ore of law and fast. 15. The cffence as proved, if committed here, would be one to go toa jury. 16. 1t is the daty of ths genera! government to presarre ite public ylighted faith mviclats. By ihe treaty, they have engeged to delirer ap such fugitives as are taerein dcreribed, The pricone:, by the legally constituted tri- buna), bas been declared to be withia that tresty—the Executive has made the orcer of extradition, and if the generel government tamely fail to execute it, aud permit the treaty to be violated by any domestio power, it would be just cause of complaizt on the part of | ¢ Britain, and parbaps just cauee of war. Fi 17. The whole current of judicial action on the part of the covrte of the United States has been guarded and sextitively cireumspect in recogriairg and avoiding the exercizo cf apy jurisdiction when it conld be exercised by State authority. if they have committed apy fault, it has beenagainet themrelves. They, with a commendable delicacy, treat the judiciary of the States with profound 6 Is is therefore due to this case to ray that the the general government wil! be it % support them, in all c in the proper exer- cize of that power, and hat no cecision may be made in this ease which will render it necessary to put cr attempt to put 1hat power in active course.

A case was beard before Judges Thompson and Allison this morning, om habeas corpu’, which stinds without a annals of cruelty. We had supposed that the bevigo doctrines of Christianity had redeemed man: kin¢ from the barbarous feelings of a Pegen era; but we Ihave discovered that there are «till exceptions in this oity—fow it is to be hoped—but sufficiently numerous to show that there is yet muoh to be done before haman nature cam be elevated to its proper dignity.

Hammer ani wife were the parents ‘& sprightly , named Charles John Hammer. He was bore out of wi ak and at the age of a few months was abandoned by his parents and placed in the almshouse. From this institution he was taken by s family in Berks county, total to the child, and kept until last Christmas. The parents of the little boy married a short time atier bis birth, but made no at- tempt to reclaim their offspring until a few weeks ago, when they ovtsined him from the family who had thus far nurtured and supported him AB ECOD a8 Parents obtained his Leeda & synte- matic course ef tor ure was commenced, whish makes every feellog of humanity shudder withio our nature. He was starved to such a degree, although his parents were in eary circumstances, that he “plotyd up the ora bread and the seeds from p'es it fell upon the floor while the girs who worked for Mrs. Hammer wove eating their dinners. He would eat the hard crusts found in the yard, and when spoken to about it, would reply thal gry thet he could eat anything. He whipped so upmereifally that black st woman's fore finger wore al! over hia body,” For an accident that will sometimes happes to chil- dren, be was taken into = shed, stripped naked in the coldest weather of the season, and soused with cold water from @ bydrant, until he was almost perishing, and then waipped severely and put behind the stove, wrapsed up ia acheet for hours. His mother struck him over the head with @ lap-board with such force as to as lomp as large as @ walnut. His fatber took him ont of bed while asleep, and flogged bim severely with a shoe, as the mother told cno cf the witnesses, for five minutes. The child’s cries were beard by the witmesses, and his artless ap: als, “Ob | fasher, ¢on’t whip me auy more acd { will Be'a good bay,” were totally disregarded His mother would tate him by the head, spin him around hike» top, until he became giddy, then permit hhim to fall with bis bead against the wall, and strike him first om one side of the face and then on the other for crying. This same mother has put him out of doors in the severest we sther, but thinly clad, and compelled hia to stay in the yard for an hour and s half ata time, uo- til he became soo id as to be unadle to walk. She would threaten to bes: him to death for caliing her mother, aod would frequently kuook him down. Bat the greatest torture, anc that which aroused the indignant feelgs of the young ladies who worked for Mra. Hammer, was the rerort of that mother to hot irons, with which che seared and burnt the flesh of her child. According to the testimony, Mra, Hammer picked up a hot flat iron, and said, ‘come bere, Johnny, till I iron you out.? The cbild rep.ied, ‘Oh. no, mother, it will bara me.” She them placed the tron first against ome cheek and then the other, pat it sgsinst his hand, raa it up aod concluded by opsn'ng hia pantaloons, jost his vaked flash aotil it burat the In this condition he was found when taken out skin off of their possession by s good Samaritan named Mary Ano Lewis, a Woman of middle age, who had heard of the pa- rente’ cruelty, and took measures to relieve the child from their barbarity, Mrs, Lewis stated to the court that after she heard of the child’s tortures ehe could not sleep at night, and felt itto be herdutytores:ue him. Sae and another lady hunted up the young ladies who worked for Mrs. Ham- mer. They cid no: wish to testify against Mr. ani Mrs, Hammer, ss they would lose their pisces as tailoresses, and ono of them eaid ehe would be out of work. Mrs. gee replied, ‘Never fear, God iss mercifal God, aad will provide for our wants,” The young ladies at a to tes fy, and thoy did so with tears in Wm R Dickerson. for Mr. and Mrs Hammer, after the testimony wis beard, remarked to the Court that he had just told his clients that they were not ft to have the care of a child, and he would uot ask that the ohild should be returred tothem.

He would ask that the grandfather, who was willieg to take the ohild, should have the care of bim to bring a up Judge Thompson said that it appeared that the child had been abandoned by ita parents at a very tendor age.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Sim—I trast that in justice to myself and the highly reapeotable gentlemen composing the commitie under whore aurpices I had imposed upon me the arduous task of soliciting Jast fail subscriptions for the relief of the Chinese Dramatic Company, you will give an equal pud- Melty to @ plain statement of fasts connected with that subscription, as you have slready afforded to the assor- tions of Leong Abgew, the company’s interpreter, The statements made by that individual are of a cha- racter caloulated (if they were allowed to pass uncontra Gicted) to cast ® gross imputation on the integiity of thoee who, prompted by benevolence, at that time under- tock measures to alleviate the distress of the unfortunate Chinese, Une might very reasonably suppose that the names of the wal eewrs thes oie soription comm: rantee of the in' ait ocuduct of our endeavors to assist those helpless stran- gers. Leong Aghew, bowsver, has not been devwerred by any consideration of respect or gratitude, (10m insinaat- ing that ® true acootnt of the receipta by the subserip- tion list has not beea reodered, acd that some thousands of dollars have been withheld, I donot hesitate to brand his statement a & foul calurany—a base faisehood. For myself, I have bat my own industry and good characier to live by, and, therefore, I feel deeply the injury which this ao has soaght me, especially after the weariness, expense and anny which he and his feom; bave cot ms for many months of last summer and the fail.

The entire amount of their debt account with Mr. Lievre, from April to October, 170, of ich $3,700 50 were paid, leaving an unpaid’ balance at the preseat moment of $469 50. The $2,700 50 paid Mr. Lievre comprised the varicus enms psid on account, from time to time; also $080 £0, the receipts of @ne Castie Garden pened: concert, and $807 76 of the amount collected by the pcm of the subseription list, Tae eatire amonat colleoted on that li:t was $981 75, bans Leong Aghew received for the company $84, and Mr. Lisvre tho balan . It i re understool at the time that the subscription list was set on foot that the first thou- sand dollars collected should go towards liquidatiog the com pany’s large debt to Mr. Lievre for board and lodging; and even the entire amount o llected was not paid to Mr. Lievre, to whot at the time they owed very near $1,400— ry portion of the enbsoriptions were given to Leong Aghew for the ccmpany. It was certaivly a matter of regret to ali concerned w ih the collecting of the sabseriptions that more Fuccess did net attend our endeavors; but I can moc eh that no exertion or cost of time and rest were wanting upon my part to try and realize to the utmost the benevolent design of the eomuilies.
