THE MURDER IN THB/ELEVENTH WARD. ‘The Coroner's inquisiti mn upon the body o' the murdered policeman, Jam‘s Cahill, was concluded yesterday after a mass of \catimony being taken, but we are sorry to say none of ‘he evidence tends to fully criminate any party. The testimony against ‘the young men Ryan and Patten being solely cir- eomstantial, they will, unless some other evidence of their guilt turns ap, no doubt be acquitted. They neem, however, to have been committing some crime on the night of the bloody tragedy, for whea examined by the Coroner their statements as to their where sbouts widely differed, one alleging that both of them slept in Eighth street, and the other meying that they remained in an empty room all might in Twenty-secoad street. The jury, after heating al! the witnesses’ s!atements, founda ve-- dict of suspicion only against these men, who were mecordirgiy locked up in the cells of the Tombs to await the action of the grand ircquest. The jary also secommended the offering of a large reward by his Honor the Mayor for the apprehension and conviction of the perpetrators of this horiid deed— a recommendation which we suppose will be acted upon, for the increase of crime in this city withiu the last few months is awful and too horrible fer us to dwell upon. If policemen—tue guardians of th lives and property of our citizens—are to bo sho down in thestreets while in the discharge of ti @uty, itis high time that such measares should ty put in force as would speedily lesson the number of these night marauders who, fearless of justice, set Jaw and order at defiance, and wil! not hesitate at any time to talce the lives of those who endeavor to interrupt them in their villainous pursuits, NEWS FROM EVROPE. The steamship Arctic left Liverpool on the 20th imst.for this port. She is now eleven days on the passage, and ber arrival iz, therefore, hourly ex: pected. By her we shall probebly receive intelligence ofpopular outbreaks at Madrid and other cities in Spain, as at the last accounts an early demonstra tion hy the republicacs was considered as almos: certain. The steams:ip America arrived at Boston early yesterday morning, and her mails reached this city last evening, The letters ai rs will be dis tributed this morning. The co». us telegraphic ab- stract of the news by this arriva’ whi h we publishe] on Thursday, contained nearly cveryth.« ¢ of interest. In another column may be found the la est intelli- the defeat of the Rassiansio Asia, the recommendation to the Spanish governmms ° to confiscate the estate of the Duke of Welliagton Spain, and a letter from a London correspondent. INTERESTING FROM VENEZUELA. Our Caracas correspondence, dated on the Ist and 3d ot September, announces that the revola- tion in Burquesameto had ended. Gen. Rodisquez, the chief of the patriot army, was being taken hy an escort to Caracas, but his guard murdered hia on the road. It is considered that the country will not be disturbed for a long time by auy new insur. rectionary movement, a3 the Monigas dynasty was now 50 firmly established in power as to almosi defy any opposition. Anabundant coffee crop was wearly ready for collecting. MOBTALITY OF THE CITY. According to the official report of the City Inspec- tor the total mortality during, the past week amount’ ed to 612, being an increase of 15 on the previous week. Of cholera there was but 47 deaths, which ig a decrease of 39 in a week. The whole number of deaths in this city from cholera since the disease first broke out, in June last, has been 2,25. Daring the corresponding period ‘of the year 1849, there ‘were between five and six thousand victims. We are glad to be able to state that the anthorities have closed the Mott street hospital for cholera patients, there being no longer any necessity for its contir. mance. Lung complaints are becoming more fata + Consumption carried off 76, and inflammation of the Jungs 19, during the week. There were 10 deaths of apoplexy, 12 of atrophia, 15 of debility, 36 of diarrhora, 30 of dysentery, 9 of inflammstion of the bowels, 11 of congestion of the brain, 10 of inflam mation of the braia, 16 of dropsy in the head, and 11 of typhus fever. The number of children under ten years of age is set down at 358; of these 21 died of cholera infantum, 35 of convulsions, 9 of croup, 7 of whooping cough, and 54 of marasmus. ‘There were 29 cases of stillborn and 12 premature births. From external canses we find in the report two deaths from casualties, three from barns or wealds, six from drowning, two from fractures, and three muicides. Eighty-eight deaths occurred in the public institutions during the week, thirty-five wf the number being on Ward's Island. The nativi- fy table gives 379 as born in the United States, 122 im Ireland, 70 in Germany, 18 in England, 10 in Beotland, and the remainder in various foreiga wountries. MISCELLANEOUS, Between twenty and thirty persons are supposed to have Jost thsir lives by the sinking of the steamer Malta, in the Ohio river, near Paducah, yesterday. At the munisipal election at Louisville, Ky., yas- terdsy, Wm. B. Shepherd was elected Mayor by mearly a thousand majority. As this gentleman was mot before the meeting asa candidate the result is set down as a Know Nothing victory. The extreme opponents of the act providing for the rendition of fugitives estaped from service, cele brated what is termed the “Jerry rescno,” at Syra_ cuse yesterday. Nothing worthy of remirk tran - pired. Some further particulars relative to the shipwreck of the steamship City of Philadel pbis are given uv der the telegraphic head. The Boston Fasilecra arrived in this city yoster. @ay morning. They are the guests of the Fifth ‘The Fugitive Slave Colony in Canada. Fyery now and then the people of the North are seized with a fit of truth telling on the ne- gro question, and the nerves of the abolition- | ists receive a terrible shock. Such a fit attacked | Mr. Larwill, » member of the Canadian Parlia- ment, a short while since. In reply to the | speech from the throne, he moved that “the Provincial Legislature do hereafter exact from | negro mmigrants a poll tax equal in amount | to that now imposed upon other foreigners—do not incorporate any associations for the special henefit of men of co or «s aclass, and do dis- courage the promotion of avy institution the object and end whereof would be a unction with the abolitionists of the Northern States, to bring about a sgverance of the American Union.” Now, it is quite clear toany man of common sense that Mr. Larwill cares as little for the existence of the American Union as we do for the continuance of Lord Elgin’s governorship. He has no conceivable interest in its duration: but on the contrary a direct interest in its se- verance. ‘he pretence that his motion was made in order to conciliate usis mere sham: and can delude no one. A c use far nearer Mr. Larwiil’s heart than our national welfare, impelled him to the step. In the township of Elgin, which forms part of his constituency, eleven thousand negroes have -ettled: most of them fugitive slaves from the South who have reached Canada by the undergreund rail- road. When runaway slaves first began to fly to Canada, they scattered them- selves in the large cities, and sought work where they could obtain it. Soon, however, a very strong dislike to their society began to manifest itself among the thorough abolition- r 8 of the province: the same people who hold anti-slavery meetings and abuse us so hea once or twice a year. To ship Was set apart for the special use of the ne- groes; and the Governor Geaeral gave it his own name. They had noé been there twelve months before the inhabitants of the neighbor- ing townships began to rebel against their proximity. Land in the neighborhood of Eigin depreciated rapidly: no one wanted to have a farm next door to a “nigger village.” It was shown abundantly that the bulk of the negroes wore iMe, vicious, and turbulent: and it was strongly suspected that they were actually relapsing into their native barbarism. Aboli- tionism was too potent in Canada for the com plaints of the neigubors to be heard at fir people who had never seen over a couple of negroes in their life could not understand the antipathy which several thousands of the ra collected together and living under no re straint, had contrived to engender. At lengts, however, at the last electioa Mr. Larwill was eleeted under @ pledge from his constituents that le would do what ‘in him lay to relieve the country of the plague of the negroes. At the first opportunity he has fulfilled his pledge hy proposing a poll tax of one dollar anda half on fugitive slaves migrating to Canada There is of course not a shadow ofa pros peet that Mr. Larwill will even find three mem- bers to support his motion, People must live among the colored race to appreciate its iacon- veniences ; and as no one in the Canadian Par- Nament but My. Larwill himself has enjoyed that experience, his proposal will obviously be regarded as the fruit of narrow prejudice. The fact is there, nevertheless. ‘The only connty in Canada where colored people are settled in any considerable nuimver instcucts its represeuta- tive to take measures toprevent their seilling in their neighborhood. Canada, to which Mrs, Stowe and the other abolitionists look as the soil of freedom, a sort of “promised land” to the negro, begs her parliament to shut the door against the entrance of fugitive slaves. This is only another evidence of the insolu- bility of the problem of negro freedom iu Ame: ca. It only proves afresh that, given four millions of blacks in the United States and t venty-five millions of whites, you cannot place he two on a footing of equality without de- stroying the peace of the country. At is easy work to theorize on slavery. Any- body can steal a page from Robespierre or Rous- eau, and deduce inalienable rights in men o! a hues to personal liberty. But when it (Ss avtempted to put these theories in prac- tice, cbstacles which override all the ab- stract teachings of philosophy at once es- tablish their utter—though relative—absurdity. We may talk as we will abont the horrors of slavery: but we who speak thus, will not asso- ciate with a negro onany terms but those of ser- vitude. We may upbraid the South for selling men and women: but these same men and wo men we will not suffer to enter our omnibuses or sit down at our tables. We may utter heartren'ing cries at the separation of fa- milies but we shrink ourselves from the bare contact of one of the beings whose fate we so bitterly lament. Just so the people of Canada. They are immensely philan- thropic when they talk of the negroes at the South: but when the negroes reach the North, they will pen them up in a township by them- selves to ayoid contamination, and will after- wards petition the Legislaiure to prevent their settling even there. Right or wrong, the an- lipathy is horn and dies with all of us. To try to cure it by acts of Congress, is like making laws to prevent fevers or guard against colds, So far as we are concerned, the mistake lay in bringing the blacks here at all, To them the exchange has been a godsend. If the ne- groes know their own interest they would re- gard slave traders as the greatest benefactors of their race. But to us, the importation of ne- groes has been fraught with far more curses than benefits, Slaves, they serve to keep up a hateful strife and jealousy between North ani South: freemen, they are a nuisance in the place where they dwell. That nuisance is the most substantial legacy we have received from Great Britain. Bitterly must we think now of the earnest remonstrances of our forefathers in Virginia and New York when British vessels persisted in landiag cargo after cargo of ne- groes to enrich the citizens of Bristol and Liverpool. And shamefally—if the British cheek still burns with shame—must the think- ing people of England reflect on the taunts and revilings which their press level at us because we cannot eradicate the canker they planted We have an abiding faith in the ultimate justice of the dispositions of Providence. We believe that the problem which we cannot solve to-day will hereafter be solved under the gui- dance of Almighty righteousness and trath Whether the negro destiny is to culminate ina gathering of the exiles on their own shores, or on some isolated spot on this contineat—whethor some awful calamity is to relieve us from the incubus—or howsoever the great end is to be wrought out, we are morally convinced that it © mypany of the Nat'oa ard.

The imperialist organ exclaims against the excursionists for assuming to repre- sent the liberal or repub'ican party in France: while Le Republicain, aided by other journals published in the English language, vindicates the might of Monsieur Mare Caussidiére and his friends to call themselves what they please and act as befits their temper and dignity. A good dea) of smart writing has bees printed on- the topic; and we have no doubt that the belligerents are mghtily in earnest. We should be sorry to see our French friends import their quarre’s a; well as their in- dustry to America. The United States are wide enough for the most rabid scion of La Montagne, as well as the most zealous partizan of the imperial régime ; and, untess they are seriously bent on picking a quarrel with each other, there is no necessity they should ever meet. We Americans, who look at French po- lities from a distance, are apt to judge men and measures by results, We see that the republi- cans of France never could set up any sort of stable government; whereas under the impe- vial régime, we find that trade flourishes, do- mestic prosperity is increased, and the welfare of the people at large materially enhanced. Look- ing dispassionately at the case, therefore, we are not prepared as a people to throw our hats in the air when M. Mare Caussidiére pronounces a heart stirring eulogium on Robespierre or Ra’- pail: and notwithstanding our natural sympa thy for republicanism, we would rather see the French learn to practice it sensibly at home than have them preach it ia our ears here. The Jews—scatiered over the face of the earth by divine mandate—the Gypsies, wan- dering over two continents in all their native dirt, dishonesty and poetry—the Jesuits, toil- ing far from their homes, onder every priva- tion, to convert the heathen of Africa, Ameri- ca or Asia—are not more conspicuous or more interesting outcasts than the republican exiles offtrope. We hear of them in Italy, when Some letter of Mazzini’s rouses a petty revolt and feeds the Austrian bayonets. ‘They spring up in France, to be lodged at Mont St. Michel, or exiled to Cayenne. London is full of them : each with a bran new constitution, not for his own country alone but for the whole world, The first gurshot gives birth to scores of the tribe at Madrid. Who knows even whether some members of the family may not have found a home in the indospitable realms of Nicholas? What purpose they serve, what destiny is reserved for them, time only can tell. Like the Jews, they oae and all look forward to the promised day, when they shall be gathered together in their own land; but they diffvr from the tribe of Israel, inasmuch as they spend the meantime in pursuits equally unprofitable to themselves and the world, while the latter have done a good business in old clothes and money since the days of Charle- magne. Seed cast upon every Jand, some few may germinate and teach the earth to bring forth a goodly democratic crop: but the bulk, we fear, will fiud that it has been cast upon stony ground. Here, we trust, they have no direct end to fulfil, We are sufficiently demo- cratic in this country to endure the wildest visions of La Montagne with forbearance: in fact, there are places in New Jersey and el: where where communism and that sort of thing are cultivated as staples. We never think of locking up our mad socialists. We let them go at large, nay, give them pen, ink, paper and land, and they cure themselves in a remarkably short space of time. Ask Robert Dale Owen. Tue New Haven Over Issue —On all sides we hear of accessions to the party which ad- vocates the repudiation of the Schuyler over issue of New Haven stock, Many persons, formerly loud in their denunciations of the po- liey urged by Mr. Cleveland and other Connec- ticut stockholders at the general meeting, no-v fancy they see more logic in the arguments they then derided, and own to doubts with re- gard to the responsibility of the company. We are not of these. Our opinion has never varied a hair's breadth. Without the aid of legal expe- rience to guide us, we see that a wrong has been committed, and an injury inflicted on in- nocent persons. The question is, who sholl bear the weight of that injary? Shall it be tie innocent holders of spurious stock whose only fault has been their investment in New Haven stock, or the company, which elected Schayler, and enabled him to commit the fraud? To our mind, independently of all legal questions of agency, if we have to choose between the two, we cannot hesitate in deciding that the loss should fall on those who have been instrumental, however remotely, in causing the fraud, rather than on those against whom no charge of ne- gligence or carelessness can be brought. This is our view; but it matters little. The prospect is that a contrary opinion will prevail. The chances are that, when the s!ock- holders of the New Haven Railroad are catled upon to vote whether they will declare them- selves liable for two millions of dollars, or not, they will repudiate the debt. Nine men out of ten in the present state of ihe world would do so: and we cannot expect chivalrous honesty from stockholders in a railway company. Now for the consequences. From the day on which it shall be considered that the owners of spurious New Ifaven stock are to bear the losses caused by Schuyler’s frauds, no prudent man will buy a share in any railroad in the country. How is it possible that farmers, pro- fessional men and others who have money to invest can distinguish between real and spu- tious stock when both bear the real signatures of the proper officers? What happened to the New Haven may happen to the Erie or the Hudson River to-morrow: none of the managers of these concerns bear a higher character than Schuyler did. How then shall any of usriek our money by buying shares? Business men should bear this point in min before they consent to the repudiation of the Schuyler issue. Tae Arr or Lerrer-Warrtyc—Mr. Sovny.— Our Minister at Madrid is 4 most extraordinary individual. He goes out to Spain clothed with fall diplomatic powers and adorned with a velvet coat neatly embroidered, a /a Benjamin Frank- lin, He fights harmless duels, he instigates puerile revolutions, he captivates the Queen, and is all ready to seize Cuba, when suddenly he leaves Madrid, and is charged with cow- ardice by the newspapers of that city. He writes a letter. That letter is before the coun- try, and it is really the most extraordinary epistle, considering Mr. Soulé’s position, that we have ever seen, The Minister says he teaves Madrid becanse it is bis pleasure so to } do--he Syare neither thy “suger of impertinesy Tue Frevos Rurvs:. can Jvstze.—The ex- fellows nor the degger of hired assassina” The article in the Diario Espanol is “beneath his contempt;’ but he still replies to it, All this from the accredited Minister of this great coun- try to the editor of a Madrid newspaper. Now the case of Mr. Soulé is not one worth much notice, but we allude to it to show how | the ar of letter-writing is liable to suffer at the hands of public men in this country. What @ curious lot of epistles will be gathered to- gether half a century from this time! Perhaps the Scarlet Letter itself may turn up! Then the glories of Walpole, Madame De Sevigne, Mise Burney, Madame De Stae and other popu- lar letter writers will sink into insignificance be- fore the epistolary triumphs of our great men. We can add some gems to such a collection. Seriously, however, we think that something should be done to instruct our public men in the art of letter-writing. Why not have a school at Washington for the purpose? The book stalls abound in interesting publications, after the style of ‘The Complete Letter Wri- ter,” but still there appears to be a lamentable lack of knowledge on this important subject. There is a good opening for missionaries in this field. Shall we have them? PurittnG Parer.—Newspaper and book put- lishers are very much perplexed now-a-days ja their endeavors to procure white paper of firm even quality. The price of the article that we are obliged to take at this time ishigh—twenty- five per cent increase in two or three years is a heavy item of expense, to say nothing of the greatest annoyance of all, the danger of being left without any paper at all. Several efforts have been made to remedy this difficulty by the use of a material other taan rags for the manu- fuctule of paper, and some five or six specimens have been sent to the Patent Office. We regret to learn that no available new material has yet been discovered. We have offered a premium for the discovery of a new material, and we have received seve- ral answers to the offer. “A. B.” writes us thus:— Tam a farmer, and baye been using corn husks for bandages on trees where the bark has been injured by the plough or barrow. Ifind they stand the weathe: better then regs; and it has suggested iteelf to me that good paper might be made out of them; if so, cheaper than any other material, for they wiil bleach easier, are tongh, and now used only for cattle fodder. If straw will make good paper, perhaps salt hay or sedge would make better; but at ali events, the flax nov thrown 0a the dung heap in the Western regions of our country might, with very littlaexpense and labor, make the best of paper, We give these suggestions for the benefit of the public, but we may say en passant that we have not yet any good specimens of paper made from vegetable fibre. We have received from Lee, Massachusetts, a specimen of paper made from a plant called “ Gnaphalium,” or “ Life Everlasting;” it is similar to the straw paper in color, and is full of wood spots. It is said that it can be whitened by the bleaching process, It takes the impression of ink with considerable clearness. The plant grows in great abundance in Canada, and from it paper may be manufac: tured ten per cent cheaper than from rags. Two correspondents have also written to us suggest- ing vegetable fibre, and one has sent us speci. mens of a new material somewhat resembling hemp. Should this correspondent succeed in his experiments we think that the material will be cheap enough, at all events. The demand for paper at present is so great that we presume the manufacturers have taken advantage of it to increase the price, and the im- porters of rags have not been backward in the same movement. But that there is a real reason why the price eliould be raised we have no doubt, and we trust that some new and available ma- terial will soon be discovered. In the meantime we solicit information and invite proposals with reference to this subject. Marine Affairs. Tuk Scrrosen Wreck oF im Sreamsmr Ciry or GLAS cow.—It is suggested that the wreck, supposed of tho City of Glasgow, seen by the Mary Morris, is probably that of the British iron ship Shandon, which was burnt on her passage from Glangow to Montreal, 4th ult., in about lat. 54, lon. 17, She had a full length figure head, and was mistaken for a steamer when fallen in with two ¢ays after the caiastrophe, Some of the crew of the Mary Morris, however, state they saw machinery in the wreek.

The match between the Free Academy and Union Cricket Clubs was played yesterday at the Hoboken grounds, and resulted most unfortunately for the mem. bers of the Free Academy Club, who were beaten by their opponents in one innings and forty-three runs to spare. it is but just to observe that the Free Academy Club mustered Lut six of the eleven they intended to play, the remainder being absent from various causes, which involved the necessity of putting in five substi- tutes, who had practised only for two or three times. ‘Ihe bowling of Davis aud Muller was weli on the wicket, and proved very destructive. Amongst the eloven of the Free Academy Ciub Godwin, Kirkland, Van Dusen, Sherry, ana Linen played very well, but were unfortunate. On the part of the Union Club the batting of Davis, Banning, Leeds, C. F.

The inquest upon the body of James Cabill, the mur- dered policeman, was resumed yesterday at the Eleventh ward station house by Coroner Wilhelm, commencing at 1 o’cloek A. M. The room was densely crowded with anxious spectators—the friends of the deceased aad | those of the youthfu! prisoners. ‘The first witness placed on the stand to-day was Jamen Ryan, residing at 110 East Twenty-second street, being duly sworn, deposed that he was acquainted with | the prisoner, James Ryan; has known him all his Livetime; he was ip the habit of staying at his house about three times a week, sleeping then in the kitchen on the second floor, where one of bis sons slept also; whenever he stopped there he always slept in the rame room; witness always locked up tne house about 10 or 103, o'clock; on theevening of the 28th he came there about 5 o'clock, and went away sbout 6 the same evening; wit- ness orked him to take tea, but he said he would go home and get it there; 1 not see him after thet until pow; he did not sleep there that night; he could not come there without witness's knowing it, for witness locked the door and did not see him in the house after he left; witness could mot say whether or not the-prisoner ever slept in any other part of witnoss’s house except in the room before stated; witness was sure he did not sleep in the house on the night in question; the prisoner has not been employed during the past three months; there was an empty room on the fourth floor, but prisoner was not in thet room at half past ten that | night; never caw a pistol in the hands ef the prisoner never charged him for beard; ie no relative of the p. soner.
