Now, if the Vresi- dent and Mr. Marcy intend to stop short upon « mere ciplomatic flourish of harmless netes, they have forgot. ten to take Congress and the people into their calcula. tion. The common voice of the country says that some- Ubing must be done to check the dictatorial aggressions of Fugland, but about what is to be done there is much difference of opinion. Someof our members of Congress ace for open war, and mapy a1 im favor of suspending the neutealfry laws, and giving our clipper ships s chance to show the valor of ove privateer metal in the Russian war. A Virginia paper before me, noticing the strong man- | serin whioh the Texas Legtslatuce endorses Ceueral Cozneau’s reaistance to British in‘erference a: St. Do- mingo, and the decided terms in which it sustains bis views om the neutrality laws, by way of reprisal, treats ‘itag the most tangible solution of our whole imbrogiio with Great Britain. Mr. Slidell, in the Senate, and Gen. Quitman, in the House, will move simultsneously ‘or this measure of retaliation as soon as the House ia or- gunized. and they are coth sanguine of success. Nota few mewbers of Ce have come to the conclusion ‘that this is the only possible means of extricating the sights, honor and interests of our country from the hu- miliating position in which they have been placed by a long course of cowardiy waver ag, and inconsistent sub- miseion to British interference in our Spanish Ameri- can relations. Tn violation of treaty pledges and international faith, England has seized, aod now declares her intention to retain the command of the gates of tne Isthmus transits. ‘Short of the actual invasion of our soil, there can be uo more perilous sttash om the fceedom of American commerce than that most insulting of false pre- ‘tences, the Mosqut:o protectorate, ana the colony of Bay Islands. Both of them, we know, are rorcible usurpations ot American territory, in equal contempt of the Monroe doctrine and treaty btioulations. Great Britain inter- Posed with alee :epresentations insulting to our uational character. and ipjurwus to the interests of our people, to prevent treaty relations between the United States and the ican blic, an! sustalued her interterencs with menaces and the presence of a decisive maval force. She has violated our neutrality laws, and evades repara- tion m & manner not less inrulting to the dignity ot the Union than the crignal injury, nor dues she manifest any isposition to ameni this course of outrage. Thence necessarily aries the question whether the American poe shall continue to endure these asswulta on their most valuable interests, or bravely end them by teaching Great Britain that we have the ability to make Poor, Syracuse nq’ | relating to the support care of luna.ics by the State, | & to prepare & memorial to be presented to the Legis. ture. The committee consider the present provisions mace for the care of lunatics in the various county houses waich are the common of the sane pauper and the lunatic, as unjust, unwise and productive of evil. They presenta table showiag the extent of provision made by the State tor pauper lunatics for twelve years, which that, om an average, 261 per year have been p ro- ‘vided for, and 979 unprovided tor. “Last year, the num- ber of pauper lunatics provided for in the State Asylum was only one in seven. The ratio of the increase of in- sanity has exceedec the augmentation of populstion py sixty per cent for twenty-five yoars. Iu 1825 there was one lunatic to every 2,248 of yula- yee in tion. 1 1840, the proportion was one to’ 2,161; 1850, it was one to 1,228. On the Ist of Decembsr, 1854, there were in the State 2,419 paup#r Innatios. Oc ‘these, 296 were in toe Utica Asylum, 152 in county alms houses, and 771 orherwise provided for. The to.lowing is a table of the condition of Lunatics in fifty-one county houses in the State, from which returns have been received :— Lunatics in the houses, 757—males, 314; females, 443, native, 456; foreign, 391; mild, 418; excitabls, 218; far ous and dangerous, 118; filthy, 235; destrac:ive, 63; on- fioed constantly to house, 250; confined in stroag rooms, 180; require wechanical restraint, 71; county houses having separation of sexer, 36; mo ee,. stom, 8; number an county houses who have been trest ‘'n the asylum, 216; recovered after their return fron. +> ssyium, 27; number wh> were self supported befor: ,v.vming insaae, 021; paupers, 62; number of families who have become a county charge, in consequence of te insanity of the head of the family, 29. ‘The committee urge that Insanity, being a disease sus- ceptible of actual cure, every {means to elfect euch cure should be resorted toby the State. Tae recoveries at the Bloomingdale Asylum for five yeara succeeding 1821 averaged 58 in 100; and for the five years following 1850, eraged 42in 100. The commitve urge that the care of the State should not, however, be curabi¢ alone, but should also be extended to those wao are incurabie. Those who are raving and flihy, and who are confined in county houses are, they have reason to believe, tov often the subjects of abure. The committee britg forward statistics to prove the economy of a provisional system, the adoption of which they wge. believe that the nawber of pauper luparics in 1860 will reach, if not exceed, 3,683, These wil! require to be supported at an annual cost of $268,122, or an increase of 113,568 over the prevent exponse from this source. Tat the effect of @ provisional system upon this eati mate be considered. Assuming the number ®f luastic paupers in 18§4—in number 2,123—to have been placed under treatment, and that 42 per cent would recover, it would stand thus:—Recovered, 891; focurable, 1,232. ‘The eatimated increase which would svell this number in 1860 to 3.682, ie 1,560; of whom 75 per ceat will, by prompt trea'ment, recover—in number 1,170; tae re- mainder, incurable, 390, The provisional system would therefore nave accomplished in 1860 » reduction of 2,001 —Iin other words, 1,622 would require public support, in- stead of 8,688. The memorialists consider ‘he large increase of iacura- bles in county almshouses as the direct result of the her aud ali other nations, respect American rignta. ‘The immediate eurpension of neutrality laws would be | a cenclasive admonition, and in fact we have no other | Temecy, unless we can find ove ins suspensiom of diplo- | matic Intercourse, which would result in nothing, or the | alterzative of a declaration of war. The latter would | micet the opposition of that party which is always raady | to tyke #ides against the country, and who, during our last war, propoved to starve out our armies in Mexic>, and expressed @ cesire that our brave voiunteers should | be welcomed by bloody haras to hospitable graves. ‘Tne | suspension of the neutrality laws vould ony unbind the hands of our google, and enable them to do houestly ana openly what citish government is doing dishonest!y and secretly, and it wili be her own tauit if Bogland chooses to make war in defence of her encroachments, imstead of doing justice and maiatyining peace. She would not persevere in these attacks upow the Unived States, if €id mot count upon finding an ally ia the trenson of our own citizens. Her press tells us that a war with ber would oreax up the Union, and that itis only necessary to land a few thousanes of her diers on our Soutbern coast to light up a war ot exter. mination, She boasts ot her navy, and talks of bom >ard. ing our reaboard citivr, as if there were no elements of detence in clectricity, gunpowsler, liquid fire and ail the | pew and teridle combinalious which her ayy has feared to contrent in the Burtic. Engiand may be taught that we have the means of waking our coasts invulnerable to the approach ot het navy, while our match ess merchant marige would oup- Ly ® privateer navy that combined Egrope coull pot TLe+t upon equal terms. If the suspension of the nen tralny laws should not induce England torthwitu to 7 nource ber American usur pations, the results would take care of themeclves. 1! she were to resist that measure by acts of war, our privateers would take care of her commerce and'her colonies, aud the reaction upon her home industry, her resources and her crelit wou'd in & few years take from her her long boasted charm ot the first power of the world.” Wasntsoroy, Jan. 24, 1855.

This letter, as well as the one from Lord Cla don, uncer date of March, 1853, have before been publish t this juncruce i that the Mritich government will exercise no act of sovereigaty or juriscietion in Central America, and in lees than one month afterwards Lord Clarendon asserts «claim to both. These letters were referred to some time since by Mr. Ciayton, 96 showing most strikicgly the wayward and contradiotory policy of her Majesty's government. Mr, Claytom proposed considering the Central Americaa question at once, but Senator Maron thought any discus sion would be out of place, as the whole subject wus still im the hands of the President, nor did he think thera was apy Congress in session; and until auch should be the care, the Senate had agreed to avoid all questions invo ving Congressional action. He ‘believed it was the purpose of England to dis:egard her treaty obligations to- ‘wards this country, and it was the purpose of al! parties here to hold her toa strict adherence to those obiiga tions.” What means euch language from the distin quithed Virginian, if there be no serious apprehensions ofa collision between the two countries! Mr. Seward thought that, “as the Exeeutive had ex- hausted all the means in his power to effect an amicable settlement of the ccntroversy, it was the solemn duty of Congress to review all the facts, and determine what snould be done, and this, too, without delay.” Tace thir im connection with Mr. Seward’s furtter present defective lunacy provisions. In conclurion, they recommendithe immediate erection of two State Inoatic 1s, 80 located that they may accommodate the geat number of insane at present unprovided fyc. ‘THE STATE PRISONS. ‘The annoal report of the lospectors of the State Prisora was presented.

Sm—The General-in-Chief having attentively consid- ered the proceedings in the case of Ist Lieut. Horace Haldeman, 8th Infantry, is constrained to disagree with the proceedings and Gndingy of the Court. Be has, therefore, reconvened i‘, wich ajview to a reconsideration of the case, and directs you to lay before it this commu- nication a8 containizg his views, The Court erred in permitting an elaborate paper— | the reception of which was properly objected to by | the Jucge Advocate—to be read, argued upon | and appended to the record, as » statement, though pro- ceeding frown such a source, that the Court wasiprecluded vy law from admitting or recognizing it as evidence. The statement referred to ia that ot tne wife of the weused, | who, by a desision ot the Court, was not allowed to give evidence. The tendency of this statement in the case is not merely to lend probability t> defensive explana ‘ions, | Dut to evtablish important ficts for the defeace, and to | impench a eading witness for the prosecution. The Gen- | of bia‘ many be bono ‘cused, it is charged, got possession of some of the officer’s business cards, and proceeding to the residence of Uaro- | line Trudd, at No. 252 William street, succeeded in ob- taining $4 50 from her, He then, as is charged, went to | sae | | Mr. Lorkowsky, of No. 3 Oliver street, who lost sbout $200 worth of Jewelry some tine ‘Here Livingsto | it ts said, represented thet he recover @ porsion the , if Mr. Lorkowsky would advance him $1 50. | With very little trouble he obtained the money, and thea | absented himself, The above parties appeared before | Justice Connolly yesterday, and preferred complaints | against the prisonér, who was committed to the Tomo for tri THE EVIL RESULT OF QUARRELLING. | Two men named Willlam Carey and Michael Ahern, | while amusing themselves in the drinking saloon of Mr. i O’Brien, No. 153 Soath street, on Thursday night, became | embroiled in a quarrel which ended in a fight upon the | sidewalk of the liquor shop.

MOVEMENTS OF THIEVES, ‘The thieves in and about New York are daily becoming moreand more bold in their operations. Two fellows drove up before the store of Mr. Marsh, corner of Prince and Lauzens streets, on Thursday night, and qutckly snatch- ing up @ box of tea, valued at $30, from the afdewalk in foent of the shop, drove off with the same.

At an early hour yesterday morning Mr. Hopper, re- siding at the corner of Broadway and Sixtieth street, was awakened by the noise of some burglars, who had ob- tained admittance to his house.

On Thursday night policeman Murphy, of the Seoond ward police, and a fiiend of his, named Edward Gillespie, were taken into custody by the Fourth ward police, on eral cannot judge how far the reading of this papec and the argument based thereupon may Lave cperated on the | mind ot the Court. The defence is set up that the acsused, as Acting Assist- ant Commissary of Sudsisience cannot be held responsible | for any aubdsistence stores remaiaing in the storehouse af ter their issue to the trocps;in other words. the savings of the sokliers’ rations, and in the receiot of money axcra- | ing from the saley of these savings, and the transmuicion | ‘of the proceeds to the Port Treasurer, ho #as merely act- ing 8a the agent of hisuwneergeenc; the sergeant, under | the rame supposition, being, of course, the agent of the me. In his capacity merely of Acting Assistant Commis- sary of Stosistence, bis daties would not requice him to have charge of the Gavings of the men’s rations. ‘The Te-ponsibuity at the devot, thongu the same ia prin- cipie a8 at the other #tastions, dilters so newhat.
