Some years ago Captain Biddle went out there, charged with the duty of bringing home peveral Americans who had been imprisoned by the au- ‘thorities of the island. The junk of the officials of the fappire came out to him assoon as he had anchored. An American officer stepped on board; but in consequence nf his having Violated the etiquette of that country by pocrding a government vessel before the official bell bad Deen rung, a Japanese knocked him overboard, and the junk returned to the shore. Now, although our officer J been guilty, doubtless, of a [es seniens offence in stepping om board before the oficial bell rang, he thought himself rather badly used. Am apology was demanded. Next day the captain of our ship received a mesi pteting that the Japanese who had Knocked the American over the gaugway would be sent on board, with his fa- ther and mother, brothers and sisters, grandmother, wife, and wife's er, and that they would all rip them- pelves opon before the’ eaptain, for his sa m. But the captain did not want to witness that sort of satis- faction, and as he could not ascertain anything about 4ho prisoners, be set sail for home. We learned after- is that the Japanese entertained a very poor opinion the American people in consequence of the conduct of ¥ captain on that occasion. A nation, they thought, fhat would not allow men to rip themselves open ust be a nation of cowards. The next e: ition to pan was conducted by ( Glenn, who determined to @ 4 more resolu uri The speaker described jonn’s personal appearance, and said that notwithstand- that be was by no means a Goliah in stature, he was & very good fellow and full of fun. Capt. Glenn was de- dermined to make an example of the Japanese. Assoon ‘Rs the American ship approached the shore a junk came ‘wf to her. When the junk came near the American shy © parchment was extended towards Our officrs on a reed. The captain took the parchment and threw it into the ‘water. In an instant four or five Japanese jumped over- pourd and recovered the parchment, because, as the aptain was told afterwards, they would have been rip. ped open if the parclinent had been lost. As tho an- chorage usually allotted to foreigners did not please Capt. ‘Glenn, he moved towards a moreconvenient haven. Sud- @enty'a voice in the junk shouted, ‘You must gono | Yarder—you must go no furder.”” The captain, on ss Ang his own language, said to the speaker, “ You are the Very man I want.’’ He hove to and got the man on deck, 4 Who are you, sir?”’ asked the captain. ‘Iam the in- Serpreter,’’ said he. ‘‘ Are you one ef the big men of @his country?” asked Glenn: He answered in the nega- ive, but told- the captain that he must go no nearer Bhe shore, as it was contrary to the Japanese laws to do Bo. ‘Stranger,’ said the captain, “you be d—d; I'll 0 just where [ pleaso, and I don’t mean to speak to any ac on the island under the Prince or Governor.” So waward he sailed until he came toa place that suited faim, where ho dropped his anchor. Next day the Prince of the district, with a great cortege, con- Pasting of about fifty men in yellow robes, were seem ‘walking along the shore. They entered a junk and Wpprosched the ship. The yellow men entered first, as soom as the didso, say pat their forebeadsto the eck and kept thom there. en the great functionary Ratered, of going aft, as is the practice with us, ‘he walked forward. Glenn went up to him, clappéd him Be the shoulder and said, ‘Look you here, friend, you Zoust come the other way.”’ The Japanese officers and Ynen were astonished at this audacious familiarity of the American. They thought that their Prince was going to @emartyred. It is customary, in Japanese state junks, @o have an elevated platform ‘forward, and that ia the Place of honor. The Japanese officer was astonished on Foing on the quarter deck of our ship to see that no plat- form had been provided; and so, after looking round for dhe seat of honor, he went to the helm and perched him. polf on the rudder post. Glenn sent for a chair, and ‘Pointed to it, and in language which, if not suitable for zs literature, was at least very perspicuous, bade him put himself into e, turning tg the iat ter, ‘tell ‘The interpreter replied hat he could not do so, as such s remark from him ‘would insure his being ripped open on the spot.

Criminals In New York. THEIR ARREST AND PUNISHMENT. In large cities, how much the comfort and security of the public depends upon a well regulated and efficient police force, and especially in a city like New York, whore there is @ continual pouring in of foreigners of all nations! In fact, there is no other branch of the city government on which the attention of tho authorities should be more directed than the Pelice Department. We havo in this city over half a million of inhabitants, with a foreign population of thousands arriving almost daily, among whom it is well known and must be ad- mitted that many vicious and desperate characters seek New York as an asylum, having escaped from thelr native | land to evade the justice ef thelaw. Thess men, it must j be understood, do not reform, but contirue their nefa- \ rious operations for # livelihood, with impunity, until discevered by the police. However, We may say, and cengratalate ourselves with the fact, that in no way does there exist in this city, at the present time, a gafig of expert criminals suchas | existed and flourished with so much success some twelve | or fifteen years ago. Such cliques of depredators could not, we are free to assert, renrsin in unison together any length of time under the present organization of the police. In those days, a celebrated genius called One-Eyed Thompson, figured conspicuously. Hoe was considered | stature, and weighed gene one of the most adroit and cunning of the gang. He de- lighted in astounding developements—things that would astonish and create a wonderment in the communitys A few years ago he concocted the famous ‘ torpedo’? schemo, in which he sought to involve innocent parties; ennossee, | Bxecution of the Murderer, at Tadn- Mass. 4 The first execution in Massachusetts since that of Pro- fessor Webster, took place yesterday, at Taunton. Jamos Clough, convicted the wilful murder of Gideon T. | Manchester, at Fall River, on the 16th of July, 1852, suf- fered the extreme penalty of the law, at 11 o’clock, in | the prison yard, where the hanging apparatus sent from Boston had been erected. The gallows was concealed from | pelle gare by ahigh board sereen. We copy the follow: | ing account of the execution from the New ‘ord Stan- | dard of the 28th inst. :— a | The prisoner yesterday and this morning exhibited | évicences of contrition, with a mind more intent on the ception of the consolations of the gospel. Rev. Mr. Emery, of the Congregational (Orthodox) Church, who has been Clough’s spiritual adviser, was with lim a por- tion of yesterday, and he and the Rey. Mr. Blodgett were with him this morning, preparing his mind for bis im- pendinding doom. Mr. Deputy Cobb, of Weir village, was with the priso- ner through last night. He joined with him in prayer | several times, and Clough seemed to be much move: Clough retired at 1234 o'clock, and roso at 4u’clock. Hi lept well. 1044 O'Crock.—Religious exercises are now being held in thecell, Rev, Mr. Emery read select passages from | the Scriptures adapted to the solemn occasion, and a touching and impressive address was made by Rev. Mr. | Blodgett, of Pawtucket. A solemnly im, prayer ‘was also offered by Rev. E. Maltby. The number ef per- = sons to witness the execution is about fifty. There is crowd of se hundreds surrounding jail yard, | who are restrained as far a3 pane from any indecont fic Ue Met inn of Nec Ead caps | Ereleth, juffo! ms, forfolk, and res, 0! Middlesex, are in attendance. 2 sag At 11 o’clock, the religious services having been com- pleted, the prisoner was taken from his cell to the place | of execution. He walked with a firm step, and ascended | | the stairs to the scaffold with a quick and lively more: | ment. As he turned his head, after arriving at tho plat- form, he recognized a prisoner out of the cell at | an upper window of the jail, and smiled and bowed to him. It was his Hy Gn that nothing should be said at the gallows, and rope was immediately adjusted | around his neck, warrant for his execution when the Shoriff ouched the fatal spring that unl the platform; it fell, and with it the body of the unfor- | tunate man—and at six minutes after 11 0’clock all was over. He died almost without « struggle, and was reso- lute to the last, displaying more of nerve and fortitude ra were to have been anticipated under such circum- stances, The execution was as well conducted and as decently performed as it is, pone discharge such sad and unwelcome offices. The sheriff and his attendants erhi- bited the greatest humanity in the performance of their unpleasant duties, and every one present seemed to be deeply and sensibly impressed with the solemnities of the occasion. Clough is to be buried this afternoon at Taunton. Clough was twenty-nine years of age. He was born in Topsham, Maine, but for a few years prior tothe murder he had resided in Fall River, where ha" was employed jn a inmahee er. He was of medium Hehaia pereed are ting great of intelligen: countenance ical an) ce. | He was always « wild, Secklans, and Deabvorn person, who | would Llp sage yg Paid ve and | adage, to say nothing of the departed unless we can speak | o¢ their good qualities and the excellence of their daily | ves. | also, he executed forged promissory notes, and endeavor- ed to place the crime on other parties. In addition to all this, Thompson was known and feared by all the rogues of any ability in that lino of business; they dreaded his displeasuse, lest he should trap them into a position whereby their liberty would be jeopardized, by his giving information to some favorite police officer. Notwithstanding the felonious disposition of Thompson, he was a very remarkable man, possessing s powerful intellect and great physicalstrength. His conversational powers were pleasing, and no one could possibly believe him to be the concoctor, suggestor and perpetrator of s0 much villany, from hearing him converse. He glorified in deeds calculated to puzzle the ideas of the ple. His acts, however, were not always instigated through motives of gain—but too frequently that of revenge—and in other cases, just merely in opposition to the authority of law. At times he would make large sums of money; but, like all such illgotten gains, it left him again almost ‘as quickly. Lattorly several of his schemes failed. The ‘tor- pedo box,” in tended as a cowp d’etat, exploded harmlessly to the parties intended to be injured. This failure was the ultimate destruction of himself; it broke the secret movements of the gang; the humbug became developed and exposed to the public, and some of the conspirators eacapod by leaving the city. Soon after this Thompson became reduced in circumstances, and, like many others addicted to crime, by attempting to erush the innocent, fell a victim to his cupidity. He was subsequently arrest- ed, being concerned in the manufacture and passing counterfeit money, The evidence of his guilt was appa- | rent; and fearing the consequences, he became disconso- late, took poison, and died im a felon’s cell. In addition to the Thompson gang, there were other notorious criminals who made New York their place of resort for the perpetration of their felonies. For instance, Tom Kanouse and Levi Cole, Dick Collard, James Miller and Jim Smith, Jim Webb, and his brother, Charley, Ja- cob Shuster alias Tom Hand, Jack Hatfield and | P py, Willinma Farrington, better known as “Bristol Pill.”” | All of the above named persons have been picked up at different times by the polico, and have been made to pay the penalty of their offences. Kanousé and Cole are now serving out form of impri- sonment in the Rhode Island State prison, for the rob- bory of the Phenix Rank, Bristol, in that State. A curi- ous fact is related in that robbery. The officers of the bank, on discovering their loss, applied forthwith to au officer of this city, to catch the robbers, and Cole volun. teered to act for the officer as “stool pigeon,” to aid in making the arrest. Of course the guiity parties were not arrested at that time. Subsequently officer Bowyer was employed by the bank, and, aided by the valuable services ge Cross of Rhode Island, Kanouse and Cole were ; and after conviction’ admitted their guils. and Miller, and Smith—the latter after serving g Sing prison, for robbing the ain convicted with Col- chkeeps Sint cang Collard ont # term of year! y Bank in Wail stree’ barge, and now out of prison, ler was caught pick- ing « pocket in New Jersey, and at present is in Trenton | State prison, where ho is expected to die from consump- | tion. “Jim Webb and Jacob Shuster stole the government jewels from the Patent Office in Washi: na. > | turned on his accomplice and acted as the “ stool pigeon.’?

The evidence of ‘uilt was found in Bill’s possession, and at the trial he rew a knife and stabbed the istrict Attorney in the neck, with an intent to kill him. Bill was a desperate man when aroused, and believing that the District At- torney would not ‘allow him a fair trial, he felt deter- mined to kill him. The Court senteaced Bill to fifteen years imprisonment. | © Jack Hatfield bas figured suspiciously in the annals of the police; but he has never been convicted. He i | sidered very expert, and withal a very cunning dog. A | few days ago he was arrested in the American Exchan: Bank, Wall street, on suspicion of being eoncdmed with two men who extracted » Package containing $1,500 from the pocket of Mr. Canfield. The money was found on the floor and returned to the owner. Mr. Canfleld | could not swear that the money was ever in the posses- sion of Hatfield, and by the consent of the District At- con- | torney, the accused was admitted to bailin the sum of 000. $1, We havo thus given s brief narrative rospecting the overtake them, and that a reformation in either of them was a circumstance not to be expected; their long carcer of crime, and the pleasure they derived from it, showed conclusively to the administrators of the law that the only safeguard the public possesses against their depre- fations will be during thelr term of incarceration In « State prison.

AS near as we can arrive at the facta | they appear to be these:-—Extensive burglaries had been committed in Newark, and the police officers succeeded | in arresting the robbers between Newark and Columbus. | A short distance west of Union station one of the robbers jumped off the cars while running at full speed, and suc- | | ceeded in reaching Einaon the turnpike, where he hired & private conveyance and came to this city night before | last, stopping at the Scioto House, on the bank of the canal, ving his name as Davis. The robber who ro- mained in the cars told the officers that the man who jumped off was a very desperate character, and would ill any man who attempted to arrest him, sooner than be taken, at the same time giving information where he could be found. | This morning: about five o'clock, officer Beebe, with the Newark police, proceeded to the Scioto House, and inquired for Davis. They were shown to his room.

In such action it is mot necessary to allege or prove that there was fraud on the part of the seller; it is enough to aver and prove the warranty, and that the warranty is false. If fraud be averred, it is not necessary that it should be proved, to entitle the plaintiff to maintain th action. Therefore, where the plaintiff! averred that thi defendant ‘by falsely and fraudulently warranti horse sold him to the plaintiff, &e.,” (in the ancient form of a declaration in actions on the case fora false warrantry,) and on the trial proved an express warranty, and that it was false.

Where the funds were in fact provided at the bank, and after the usual hours ef business and for the presentment of notes, the note was presented there toaclerk who had no control over the funds, and who, therefore, could not pay the note, the proseniment was not sufficient, although the clerk, not being aware that tho funds were there, answered to the demand, “no funds,’”? and although if he bad been aware that the funds were there, he might have certified on the note that it was good, the only reason why the note was not paid, being that it was not presented within the usual hours, nor ® person authorized to pay.

The above three resolutions were not ‘‘presented by ‘Mr. Pike, of Arkansas,’’ either in the Convention, or the General Committee who reported thera—but by myself; and were all written by me.

The total tonnage of the road im 1863 waa 240,000 tons. A large number of passengers wore also carried over the road during the year. The company has no floating debt. Its bonds, erigi- nally $825,000, were anticipated, paid and cancelled to the amount of $288,000, leaving outstanding $537,000. Since the resumption of work the company has alreatg despatched a daily average of $83 ton of coal to market, and is constantly increasing the quantity. ‘Tho annexed statement exkibiis the quantity and value of certain articles exported from this port during the woek ending, and including Friday, April 28, 1854:— of what I said, for which, 1am mainly indebted to Charleston Courier, and which I now enclose.

Daring the past week there has been no important change in the stock market. Quotations current at the close yesterday, compared with those ruling at the close of the week previous, show on the whole a decline. The fluctuations have been frequent, and the market through- out has been quite sensitive. Some of the fancies have advanced, while others have declined, but the market generally was lower. There is no outside inquiry for stocks, and it appears impossible to get up any external ‘271 excitement.

There has beon for some time past 108 an active demand for moncy, ani rates in the street have 688 advanced.
