The British Legion. Tap ye risn MINISTER—OHARGE OF JUDGE KANE. +S. Dummor Covrr, Sept. 27.—I intond- ¢4, gentlemen of thejury, when we separated, to avail myself ot the leisure afforded me to put charge in writing, but I have been prevented cumstances Fgh so, and my yor therefore, el connected, perhaps, Ttrust they will not be on thet account less Tnieligitie ‘and clear, in its progress, a train of facts The case has in: of very considerable political pr rghit pew more neral interest in that aspect of it than in its on questions whieh are @ be decided by your ict. ‘There are very few amung us, probably none, who have not felt aggrieved at the tone with which the press of foreign countries, and occasionally of foreign statesmen of the day, have commented upon what they have been leased to cali the over alscrity of the American people eugage in military controversies in which they pro- perly had no righttul part. Our people and our government have been accused of forgetting the obligations of neutrality, ourselves forward into the conflicts of foreign nations, and leaving belligerents to fight out their own quarrels. For one, I confess that 1 elt oy vagal as this case ad- vancec, to learn that, du: the very time that these accusations were fulminated against the American people by the prass of there was, on the part of emi. nent British functionaries here, a series of arrangements in progress, carfully digested, and combining all sorta of le under almost all sorts of influences, to evade the ws of the United States by which our country sought t enforce its neutrality; arrangements matured, upon a careful inspection of the different sections of our sta- tuter, ingeniously to violate their spirit and principle without incurring their penalty, and thus enlist end send hae j soldiers fram our neutral shores to fight the battles of those who were incontinently and not over Fos ei admonishing us to fulfil the duties of neu- U allude to these cirenmstances, and this train of thought, gentlemen, not because it is one that should influence your action as Jurors, but because 1 feel it my duty to guard you against its intluence. The question which you have to decide is not whether there has been ‘an effort on the part of any foreign functionary te evade the provisions of our acts of Congress, but whether these two defendants have or have not violated the provisions of the act of Congress which are cited in these bills of indictment. "Your verdict will Fexpoud to the simple question: Are these two men guilty of th which they are charged? CUnY Of the erlme with D order that my remarks may not hereafter be em- barrassed by the necessity of using the plural when the singular alone is the appropriate phraseology, I will say to you, at the outset, that there ix no evi- donce against one of these defendants. Before a ju- Ty can properly convict an individual of the commission of a crime, they must be satisfied by clear evidence that the crime ‘has been committed by some one. We have no statute which affects to punis! braggart garrulity; and, unless the particular offence of enlisting certain definite persons has been committed by Perkins, one of the defendants, though he may have pro- elaimed upon the housetops that he has recruited armies innumerable, no jury can properly convict him of the offence he professes io have en, in, I pasa to the consideration of the case of the defendant, Hertz. He stands indicted, sometimes jointly with another, sometimes alone, with the offence of havi hired and retained certain persons to go out of the United States, for the purpose of entering themselves as sldiers in the service of a foreign Prince, State or Terri- to "the act of Congress is in these words; I read the words material to the question, leaving out those which apply to a different state of circuinstances: If any peraon sha'l, within the Territory of the United States, hire or retain any person {o go beyond the limits of the United Slates, with the intext to be enlisted in the service of a foreign prince, he shall be deemed gullty of a high misdemeanor, ‘The question which you have to pass upon is—did Henry Hertz bire or retain any of the persons named in these bills of indictment to go beyond the limits of the United States, with the intent to be enlisted or entered ia tho service of a foreign State? Did be hire or retain a person? Whatever he did was within the Territory of the United States. ‘The hiring or retaining does not necessarily include the payment of money on the part of him who hires or retains another. Hemay hire or retain a person, with reoment that he shall pay wages when the services shall have been pertormed ‘The hiring or retaining a servant is not generaily by the payment of money, in the first instance, but by the promise to pay money when the rervices shall have been performed; and co a person may be hired or retained to beyond the limits of the United States, with a certain intent, though he fs only to receive his pay after he has gone Deyend the limits of the United States with that in- nt. Moreover, it is not necessary that the consideration of the hiring shall be money. To give to a person a railroad ticket that cost four dollars, and board and lodge him for a week, is as good, as a consideration for the contract of hiring, as to pay him the money with which he could bot ets raiiroad ticket and pay for his board himself. If there be an engagement on the one side to do the par- ticular thing. to go beyond the limits of the United States with the intent to enlist, and on the other side @n engagement that when the act xball have been done a consideration shall be paid to the party performing the services or doing the work, the hiring and retaining are complete. ‘The meaning of the law then, is this :—That if any per- on shall engage, hire, retain or employ another person to go outside ot the United States to do that which he could not do if he remained in the United States, viz. take part in a foreign quarrel; if he hires to go, knowing cat oe his edgy enlist La he Se Carella and ep , or carry him, or pay him for going, use it i intent of the party to enlist, then the offence is complete within the section. Every resident of the United States has the right to go to Halitax and there to enlist in any asmy tat he pleases; but it is not lawful a person to engageanother here to go to Halitax for pimpore. Ftruxt I make myself sufficiently clear to our may comprehend the distinction. It is the of the person to go beyond the United States, that (person having the intention to enlist when he srtives ou act that intention known to the party hiring him, gf that intention ‘® portion of the being consideration bere be hires him, that defines the offence, I believe thatafter makiug this comment upon the law, I might pass on to the fact; but itoccurs to me to add, that you are not to require proof of the connection of the de- fendant with each particular fact and circumstance which bas been given in evidence, to show the working out of the general plan, If you bell the witnesses, the object here was to ef. fectunte an enlistment beyond the borders of the United States, and yet escape from the provisions of this section, to de effectively and yet net seem to do; if you are satis- fied, no matter what was the avowed object of the party, no matter what the pretext: if you are satisfied that Henry Hertz was here engaged in hiring and retaining men to go off to Nova Ses there to eniist, that being their intention, and he believing that it was and, therefore biring them, then no matter what was the cos- tume or mask which the transaction wore, he has com- mitted the offence charged in the vill of indictment. As to the evidence, gentlemen, you haye listened to it very carefully, and it has been commented upon abun- dantiy. [do not know that it is my duty to detain you by a ringle remark on it, It 1# all on one aide, Wheth- er it establishes the fact is for you to judge. It is the law of the land that, where two or more persons com- bine together to do an unlawful act, the acts of each may be given inevidence for the purpose of explaining the neral transaction. You will ree that otherwise it would impossible, in a case like this, to develope its true his- tory and character. The enlistment necessarily includes the action of different parties; the concert between them is to be inferred from their acts. ‘The intention of the party, e1 or retained to en- List, is to be gathered from his conduct and declaration here, from bia conduet after he reaches the foreign coun- try, and from the action of third persons with whom he permets the enlistment that he may have contracted for ere. . You are, therefore, while looking primarily at the con- duct of Hertz, to look also at the actions of others tend- to the rame objects; and if you judge that they were actually in concert with him, then all their acts, done in pursuance of the common purpose or plan, are to be re- an his. With these remarks, I leave the case in your hands, At the conclusion of the Jucge’s charge, the jury re- hired and returned in about fifteen minutes. On taki ‘veir aeata, the Clerk of the Court, in the usual form, pu' hhe question—‘Gentlemen of the Jury haye you conclu- fed upon your verdict?” To which the foreman replied ‘We have.’ Cramx—How say you, guily or not guilty? Forsxay—Guily as to Henry Hertz in manner and form 6 he stands indicted on all the bills of indictment; as Emanuel ©, Perkins, not guilty the j ary were then discharged. Sentence has been de- ferse. for the present. Violent Storm at Mobile.

Caup on Tar Bice Waren, Sept. 5, 1855, Agreeably to my promise to keep you of what- ever may be worthy of special note, in the progress of the Sioux expeditica, 1 have now t0 inform you that Gen. Harney’s command, which left Fort Leavenworth about a month since, arrived at Ash Hollow on the even- ing of the 24 inst., at which point the General ascertain. ed that band of forty or fifty Bule lodges were encamped on Blue Water Creck, (a fine tributary of the North Platte,) about six miles from Ash Hollow, The General at once determined to attack the camp early on the morning of the 3d, and, in order to be more sure of his », he despatched the principal portion of his mounted force, at 3 o’clock A. M., to gain « position in the rear of the Indians—a movement which had to be made in the dark, of course, and over an exccedingl: rugged country. It was, however, eminently successful, effected without rousing the’ suspicion even of the Brules. ,General Harney left his camp, between tour and five o’clock A. M., with the infantry portion of his command, merely leaving sufficient force to guard the train, which remained at Ash Hollow beget} the operations. He moved Sreey upon the first Indian village (for it afterwards turned out that there were two), but before he could reach it, the lodges were all struck and their occupants in rapid retreat up the valley of the Blue Water. ‘This, however, was just what waa expected and desired, for if the cavalry gained the position as- sign as, the Tndlans fi Sours stand, compelled to fight. aay a took up a position on the bake, which Kian bank of the stream, within a few hundred yards of our cavalry, which had concealed themselves so adroitly, that the General himself doubted very much whether they had succeeded in gainiug the place assigned them. It was for this reason that in ® parley which here ensued, between General Harney and the Brule Chief, “Little Thunder,” the General’a princi object was to amuse the Indian until he became satisfied of the presence of the cavalry, At last it became pretty obvious from the commotion among the Indians that something had been observed by them that made them uneasy; so the General at once cut short the parley, and opened the ball to the music of the Minie rifle from the skirmishers of the Sixth infantry. The bluffs were sealed by these in an incredibly short time, and cleared of the Indians, who had scarcely left their stronghold before they tound themselves intercepted by the cavalry, and placed between two fires, The affair had by this time become exceedingly lively. The Indians plunged down the bluffs with their light sure footed podies, and darted off through the only avenue not closed against them, being pursued in most gallant style by the mounted troops, who foliowed four or five miles, sabring and shooting a large number of them on the way. Itisquite impossible, owing to the extent and the na- ture of the country covered by the two parties, to ascer- tain preciely the loss of the Indians in killed and wound- ed; but from observations subsequently made on the ground of principal combat, the number killed cannot 1 far short of sixty or seventy. About any women and children were captured, and some sixty ponies and mules taken. As tor lodges, buffalo meat, robes and camp fur- niture of various descriptions, the end has not been seen qh although a number of wagons have been employed in ringing this booty into the camp.

Shipwrecks on the Lakes: LOSS OF THE PROPELLER FOREST CITY, AND SCHOON- ERS ASIA AND YOUNG AMERICA—PASSENGERS AND CREWS SAVED. [From the Milwaukie Sentinel, Sept. 24.] We have again to record a yery serious marine disas- ter on Lake Michigan. The fine propeller Forest City, Capt. Pheatt, with a full of merchandise for this port and Chifeago, eame in collision on Friday, morning last, with the schooner Asia, bound from Jhicugo to Buffalo, with a load ot corn, and both vossels sunk, within twenty to forty minutes, in water nearly a hun: dred fathoms deep. From the mate of the Forest Cit Thomas Howland, who arrived here yesterday in the Propeller, Fintry, we learn the following particilars:— ‘About 2 o'clock Friday morning, the weather being thick and rainy, with a seven knot breeze blowing, the Forest City, then twelve miles west of Grand Traverse Pay, and twenty-five miles north of the Manitous, dis- covered a sail vessel on her larboard bow. The propel- ler’s course was immediately changed #0 us to clear this Yosseh, but while coming uy into, her course ugain, « se- cond sail was seen so close aboard, that though the pro- peller’s engines were stopped and backed, a collision be- came unavoidable, and the two vessels struck with great force. The schooner, which proved to be the Asia, of Cleveland, was struck nearly amidships, and sunk in twenty minutes, her crew taking to their boats. ‘The propeller’s stem was nearly torn off by the collision, and the water commenced pouring in inan irresistible vo- lume. Capt. Pheatt gave orders to the mate to cnt a hole in the forecastle, and ascertain the extent of the mischief. It was immediately seen to be fatal, and the mate so re- ported. While thus lying, disabled and fast sinuing, 8 second vessel, believed to be the schooner Medbury, struck the Forest City on the starboard side, doing some slight damage, and carrying away some of her own rail and rigging. ‘The captain of the schooner immediately sang out, “God d—n you, you shall pay for that. What propeller is ity” For all answer, the mate went to the upper deck and tolled the propeller’s bell, but the schooner took no notice of this signal ot distress, and abandoned the Forest City to her fate. Meanwhile, Capt. Phealt, on ascertaining the extent of tke disaster, went to the cabin, and informed the gers, about 20 in number, that his vessel was sinking, but it they would remain quiet and obey his directions he would save them all. Not a cry or a murmur esca the passengers, but all prepared to follow implicitly the captain’s counsel. Preparations were immediately made to clear away and lower the boats, of which the propeller had three—two large yawls and one life boat. The boat on the larbosrd side Was first got down, loaded with 24 of the steerage paskengers, and put in charge of the wheelsman and two hands—making 27 in all. The star- boat boat, which was the largest, was next got into the water, and the cabin passengers and remainder of the steerage put in her—29 in all. Lastly, the life boat—the smallest of the three—was lowered away, and then the captain, having seen to the safety of every soul en- trusted’ to his care, got into her, with the clerk, engi- neers, eflicers and crew—17 in all, All this occupied about thirty ‘minutes, the propeller filling fast and settling visibly; yet during the whole time, dark as was the right, and distant the shore, and full of peril each passing moment, every man of the érew, and each man, woman and child among the passengers, animated by the gallant example of the Captain and his officers, ye | contident in their skill and resolution, re- mained quiet, orderly and uncomplaining. At length, all being safely embarked, the Captain gave orders to pull for shore, eupporedl tobe twelve miles distant; but in the course ofan hour the lights of a yossel were made out, andthe boats headed for them. Ina little while they met her, and were taken on board the schooner Hamlet, bound from Chicago to Iuffalo, In this vessel, the pas- sengers and crew proceeded to Mackinac. From Mac- kinac the passengers and first mate were brought to the city by the propeller Fintry, while the Captain and crew returned to Buffalo, The Captain and crew of the Asia were also picked up by the Hamlet. The loss of property by this disaster is very henvy. The Forest City was a first class propeller, worth $25, or $20,000, She was owned by Messrs. Hoffman & Ste- vens, New York, and M. B. Medberry, of this city, five- eighths; Morgan & Root, of Buffalo,’ two-eighths, and Capt. Pheatt, one-eighth. There was about $18,000 of insurance on the hull; $6,000 in the Merchants’ Mutual of this city, and the same amount in the Buffalo Matual. ‘The cargo was a very valuable one, about 125 tons for this port and 250 tons for Chicago. Of course, both ves- sel and cargo are a total loss, having gone down where the water is five or six hundred feet deep. The Asia was owned in Cleveland, and with her cargo of corn was doubtless insured. ‘But with all this heavy loss of pro- ty, it is most gratifying to record that there was no loxs of life, and for this providential escape no little credit belongs to Capt. Pheatt. We have still another disaster to chronicle, nearer home. On Saturday morning, at three o'clock, ‘the brig Young America, loaded with 17,000 bushels of corn, bound from Chicago to Buffalo, came in collision with the brig Black Hawk, off Ri nd sank in twenty minute Captain and crew were She was owned in ( wego, and fully insured. We did not learn what-damage the Black Hawk sustained. The mate of the Forest City reports that the brig H. R. Seymour, previously reported ashore atthe Manitous, is lightening her cargo, and will probably get off without much damage. He also reports a fore-and-after ashore on Michigan coast, opposite the Manitous, Tne InsonED AT Burtinaton.—The injured per- sons have nearly all recovered sufficiently to be removed to their homes. There are still remaining Mrs, Boyce, Mrs. Newbold and daughter, Mr. Pew, the Hon. Mr. Maclay—all impreving—and Mr. Daniel O'Kane.

Fowler, in payment for repuirs to the «ree Academy. ‘Objection was made to the resoulution, when the rules were suspended, and Commissioner FowLar spoke relative to his claim. He had expended the money, as it was absolutely necessary for the Board to do, and had advanced it as it was in Vaca- tion month and'no appropriation could be had. Great objections were raised on account of the lovks of the thing when it went before the public, and because of the rules of the Board. It was finully resolved to pay the money outof the fund set apart for the support of the Free Academy. A communication was received trom the Fourth ward officers, appointing John Oliver Lee, in place of John Ridden, resigned, as Trustee. Mr. A. H, Guess then presented the following resolu- tion os to the finances:— Whereas, ‘The present method of apportioning the tax annually levied by the State for the support of common schools, and the method of distributing the moneys raised by such tax, and.rom the common school fund of the State are such as 10 charge upon some localities of the State those burdens that justly should ve borne by others, und work great injusiive par. icularly to the tax payers of this city; and altho not be possibie to effect an apportionment and dist the taxes 1or common school purposes #0 that they upon ull parts of the State witn exact equality, ye Judgment of this Board such a basis may be adopted as will ‘eftect an approximation to equality in inxation and distribu: tion, and remove from this city the burthen to which it is now ngluatly subyecteds therefore fterolved, That a committee of five be appointed to consider this sub ect, and, in conjunction with the other educational and financial departments of this city and State or otherwise, to Procure such tion of the ‘existing laws coucerning ihe Faising of moneys for the support of common schools and the distribution of such moneys aud the common school fund ns shail effectually relieve the tax payers of the city from an un- equal burthen of taxation, Motion carried, and Messrs. A. H. Green, Townsend, Blackstone, Miller and Phillips appointed to act as such committee. ‘The Committee on Normal Schools reported a resolu- tion that Margaretta L. Marston be appointed a teacher in the female normal school, with a salary of $160 per annum, ‘The Select Committee on the Schools at Randall's Island reported relative to the right of supervision of the schools on the Island. They reviewed at considerable length the origin ot these schools, showing from reports of the Beard of Governors and from communications, the right of the Board of Education to the direction of the estab- lishment. A lengthy discussion arose on the paper, in the course of which several members denounced the action of the Governers. Mr. Joy GREEN stated that he understood it was (heir intention, unless five thousand dollars was ap- propriated for the erection of a Warden’s house. to move the teaghers appointed by the Bourd from the island at night, They are now doing all that can be done to make the teachers’ situations unpleasant, having gone to the expense of putting the pauper children to sleep above them, Mr. Hinnarp stated that this course hid been going on and the trouble brewing for twelve months past; the truth, he thought, is that the Governors, or some of them, are seeking the school patronage. The Committee on Elections and Qualifications report- ed the election of Welcome R. Beebe as Trustee of the ‘Twentieth ward, remitting that of John B. Raynor to the £eventeenth ward for revision, it not being in proper course. After a lengthy debate as to the adoption of the report, the Board adjourned for want of a quorum.

This is the heaviest fish of that variety that has been found in our waters for many years. It was caught with a single sucll. This 4s certainly a large (blick) dish story, but true, While our hand is in, we might aa wall ‘ell another, Mr. Stone, of Burelay street, caught a fine juicy turtle, weighing 45 pounds, in Princo’s bay, one day last week, while fishing for kingfish. The strangest part of the story is, be caught the unimal with a hook, ‘and was not a little surprised when he pulled a great sprawling turtle aboard.

Of Owl’s Head the J. 0. Briggs cap- sized, giving her crew a cold bath gratuitously; they were immediately rescued by another yacht, no ‘other mishap occurring.
