OORRIF, THE MOTHER OF ONE OF THB ACCUSED. We have received the subjo ined letter from the mother of Peter Corrie, the young man committed as an accessory | to the murder of policeman Rigdon by Marion Cropps, in | Baltimore recently. Mrs. Corrie denies the statement of our correspondent, that Corrie was a Plug Ugly and given up to drouken habits, and feels aggrieved at the charges. | As we bave no desire to do injustice to any one, or to ag- | gravate the misfortune of one already too heavily afflicted, | but simply to condemn such deeds as these bands of as- | sociated ruffians are guilty of, we publish the letter of Mrs. Corrie. But in justification of the assertion of our correspondent we append the evidence of Corrie himself | on bis examination by the Mayor of Baltimore, in which | he admits that he was drunk on the occasion of the mur- der; that he was a friend, from childhood, of Gambrill, the condemned murderer of policeman Benson; and that, | although his acquaintance with Cropps only commenced the day before the homicide of Rigdon, he accompanied him to the scene of that brutal act. It is probable, how- ever, that Cropps and his associates found him ina state of intoxication, and used hin as # « ol, as they had doubt: less done many others before :— MES. CORRIE'S LETTER.

It is as weil known to citizens | and strangers asthe White House, and yet has myate- riously escaped the opties of the police for years. The furniture, spoons ond Love of the whole place were without the least approach to refinement, and not the first symptom of luxurious living was visible anywhere, It seemed to reflect the pompous vulgarity of the owner, without avy subduing tints of better breeding or even or: dinary good taste. It is impossible that this resort, as seen, could have presented any temptation but for those swayed by the passion of gambling, or that otver, and, if possible, worse class, who are willing to be the pimps and dependents of these hells. ‘The notoriety which the house acquired was reflected entirely by the charactor of its visiters, too many of whom were in public life, and from the hold which the roprietor necessarily Obtained upon his victims, through the indulgence of this vice. The published accounts concerning the success of the chief character in this pandemonium, like the deseription of the concern itself, were exagwerated in every respect. He ix said to have died leaving $50,000 of other people’s moacy as the balk of his fortune. As artificial display was nearly as inuch a part of the game as cards, his winnings were appropriated mainly to that object, “and hence he faunted a gay equipage on the avenue which excelled alt ivalry in decoration, aud may be said to have defied ompetion, Those who claim to be well informed say hat “ bad luck ’’ had followed him for several years, and hat other © establishments ‘ried off the profits, while he strutted along, with littie else than pretensions, as- umed from a name which belongs to some of the best Dlood in Virginia, but with which he had no connection whatever.

Giddings lectured last evening to an overtio house, upon the subject of “The Laws which Govern Us."’ Mr. Giddings spoke for an hour and eight minutes to an attentive ausience, frequently interrupted by hearty demonstrations of applause. Guly once during the eves was there the least expression of dissatisfac- tion—and Mr. dings was radical in his remarks—until the lecturer denounced the Dred Scott di u,and then such cheering and stamping and clapping of hands drowned the noise of the few persons who hissed, untii the latter, ashamed of themselves, relapsed into silence, and Mr, Giddings pursued bis theme There was nothing pew nor vovel in the lecture—nothing introduced by the speaker which is pot known to all who are acquainted with (be genticman aud the motives of h's politicat conduct. God is the source trom which everything emanates—all things are governed by laws unchangeable and immutable, and by the unchangeable and immutable character of Deity. If we disobey those laws, either of the physical or the moral nature, we must pay the forfeit. Man, the noblest work of God, must not be degraded—fuli scope must be given to ail’ his powers, that he may develop: himself aud approach as near as’ possible to tbe Divine perfection. Man has no right to step between another man and his God, or his means of culture, or his right to get food, raiment or babitat.on Man that God has made and stamped with the seal of immortatity is entitled to every opportunity he may seck for the parpose of culture or of personal happiness. Wo unto the man who invades that right. Wo unto the man who violates any physica! or moral law. Such was the tenor of the lecturer's remarks, which were listened to with every manifestation of pleasure by & very sclect auditory. The Eastern Fisheries. £ ‘rom the Newburyport Herald, Nov. 12.) The fisheries at this port are about closed for this season. There are now but two _vessels—the Enchantress and Effort—absent in the bay. -There has been no loss of Newburyport vessels im the bay this year, and no acci. dents, that we bear of, serious to health or life. We wish we could add that in ell respects the vessels had been as fortunate! but the catch has been small, and a. the business has not been paying. At ‘the high prices of mackerel those getting tolerable fares have done well, and afew veesels have made great voyages. On the whole the results have mot been such as will lead to a large in- crease of the fleet another year, In Gloucester, which leas ia fishing, the business is different. They go to the banks for halibut, in mid winter, while our vessels do little till late im the sprin, and they continue the mackerel! fishing till the snow blows, while our season closes carly. The first of this week here were a hundred sail of vessels from Gloucester in he Bay of St. Lawrence. Many of them were going into the bay, when the Newburyport vessels were leaving with smail fares. In the fisheries, as in other business, differ ent branches locate in different places. Here we have Labrador and mackerel fishes in Gloucester they have mackerel and halibut; in Marblehead they limit their ope rations to Bank fishing; and so each place cherishes a peculiar branch. The mackerel fishery carried On by the fishing firms of Gloveester now employ over 400 vessels, and nearly 6,000 men. Obituary. BARON TASCHER DE LA PAGERIE.

The effect of this decision is to require seamen, before filing a libel for wages, to summon the master of the vessel before a Commissioner of the Court pursuant to that act, unless they allege in their libel that the vessel has left the port of delivery where her voyage ended before payment of the wages, or that the vessel is about to proceed to sea before the end of the ten days next after the delivery of her cargo or ballast. In this case, although the libel did not contain either of these allegations (as the facts did pot warrant them), the Court refused to vacate the arrest of the vessel, on the ground that the claimants had assented to the proves. ‘The claimants shee, upon affidavits, for an order to vacate the arrest of the vessel aud subsequ nt proceed. ings in this cauge instituted for the recov claimed by the crew. The libellants perfoi Inst summer on board the brig from West Indies, and thence to New York, ae she arrived and was quarantined about the 10th of September last, and was discharged therefrom on the 28tb,on which day the libellants also left the vessel. The wages were not satisfied by the master or the claimants on demand by the libellants, and objections were raised by the claimants that the Hbellants had refused to discharge the cargo in this port, and that they had incurred a forfeiture of their 8. The libel was ied on the 8th of October. Ou the of October the libellants examined witnesses, aud claimant’s proctora attoaded and cross examiued them. Ov the 26th the warrant of arrest was returned, and an order for sbort publication gvanted, returnable on the 21 of November instant, On October 25 notice of this movion was given to set aside the process in the canse, on the cround thut a summons and certificate were not first ob \ained from a Commiséioner, showing “a sufficient cause «f complaint whereon to found ne alty procese."? The act of Congress of ey ae , 1790, dors not originate the jurisdiction this Court. That is conterred by the constitution, article 3, sec. 2, and the staute does no more than point out the proper method by which the jorisjietion is to be exercised when the remedy in this respect is sought imvem. ‘The statutory remedy, however, must be pursued in conformity to the act; but the irregularity or error in practice can be remitted by assent thereto, ora waiver of it may be implied, and in either way acquiescence in the course of proceeding may remove the favit. The acts of the claimants and their proctore, subseyuent to the commencement of this action, and the arrest of the brig therein, in my opinion amount in judgment of law toa” waiver of all objections to the regularity and sufficiency of the proceedings, and pre- clude them from appealing at this time to the Court to re- scind and vacate those proceedings. The cause as it stands is open to apy defence the claimants may wish to ipterpose upon the merits of the demand; but the claim. apts are concluded by their course in Court and outside from taking at this day exceptions to the regularity of the libeliauts’ action, ‘The motion to set aside the proceed- rdingly be deniod. of wages Marine Court—Chambers. Before Hon. Judge Thompson. EFFECT OF A TREATY STIPULATION BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE REVUBLIC OF BREMEN. Nov. 11.—William Honor agt. George Klose et al.—The parties are subjects of the republic of Bremen, and part of the company of the steamship New York. ‘The plaintiff isan ordinary seaman. One of the defendants is first mate; onc, second mate, aud the other surgeon. The de- fendants were arrested on » warrant charging them with committing an essault apd battery upon the plaint!* on the saint ship while upon the high seas. The 5)» is owned in Bremen, and the voyage whereon the assault is alloged to bave been committed was from that country to this and back aga. Counsel for defendants moved to disebarge them from custody, upon the ground that this court has no jurisdiction over the parties. Thompson, J.—By the treaty of 1852, made between the United States and the republic of Bremen, it is pro- vided in article firet that “The consuls, vice-consuls, commercial and viee-commercial agents of each of the high contracting partics shall have the right, as such, to sit as judges and arbitrators in such differeuces as may’ arise between the masters and crews of the vessel bel to the nation whose interests are committed to their charge, without the interference of the local authorities,” &c. For the purposes of this motion, we assume that the defendants did commit an assault and battery upon the plaintiff, as alleged m the warrant of arrest. It would seem, there- fore, that there 1s really no difference to be adjusted be- tween these parties, and that consequently the treaty in- voked by the defendants does not apply to this motion. The questions in controversy being of much public im: portance, a trial should be had, and the motion denied without costs to either party. John Glannon inst the New York Consolidated Stage p—On the first day of June last, a collision oc- curred in Broadway, near Trinity church, between a team and omnibus: i to bets defendants and a horse and cart of the plaintit horse and cart was going down Broadway on the eigen wo side—the omnibus coming round the corner of Wall street and running Inst the whee! of the cart with such violence as to throw the plaintiff's horse upon the sidewalk upon his back, doing damage to the sum of $87, for which amount the Court gave & judgment against the defendants, with costs. No Mork Srconp Ciass Cars.—The Buffalo papers state that all the railroad companies between New ‘ork and Chicago have discontinued the running of second class curs. emigrant trains will do the second class business, and the fare on the latter has been raised from five to seven dollars between Buffalo and Chicago. The first cass fare js fifteen dollars from Buttaio or Suspension Bridge to Chicago.

THE ENGLISH AND FRENCH AT ST. DOMINGO. ‘TO THE KDITOR OF THE HERALD. Referring to a correspondent of the London Post in the Aiaatn of Monday, on the subject of Hayti and St. Domin- g0, the presumption is that the writer may have been actuated by his personal rancorous feelings. His state- ments produce no other conclusion, If the English aro to ‘act upon the views of guch chroniclers, whoever they may be, and their national journal continues to comment in favor of such traducers, the United States may not only demand the Monree doctrine to be carried out, but should at once begin to set their face against all forms of govern- ment not essentially democratic on this side of the Atlan- tic. What thirty millions of people here may will to have done, that they will delight todo. It was not the United States that demanded a cession of Jamaica Bay. It was the encouragement given to the Haytiens from across the Atlantic, to carry out their infernal cannibal sprit of war and extermination, that caused the Domini- cans to propose to treat for the cession of that bay, as weil to provide for the meaas of defence as to count>ract the wicked intrigues and selfish threats of the English | Consuls. The Un.led States did not accept the treaty that , was offered to them, nor have the Dominicans caucelled it, though it may have expired by limitation; nor is’ that bay considered, by those who know, to be the Sebastopol of ttle continent; nor is it imagined what Pag re is in the Russians ob- taining Villa Fi as an offse’ to Gibraltar to liken the policy of ‘that governinent to the United States in the West Indies. e Post is growing mad with appre- hension of the power ant the progress of this nation.

The spirit of the article in the ost is an inkling of the duty of this le to prevent bloodshed, aud preserve the independence the ominicans have maintained, bat no misrepresentation of the policy of the Unite i Stites gov- ernment should influence individuals to withdraw their sympathies, and submit the Dominicans to the cruel bar- barities of the Haytiens, and the consignment ef a reoub- lic to the tomb. PORT AU PLATTE. ‘The Proposed “Boston, Haltfax and Londou ph Company.’ (From us Boston Courier, 8.) The Nova Scotia Electric Telegraph Company having | combined with the undersigned fur the purpose of cou- necting Boston with Halifax, and ultimately with Great Britain, | have the honor to submit the following plan for its accomplishment, together with an estimate of cost and income. The route proposed is Miles.

It is, however, distinctly understood that the Boston, Halifax and London Telegraph Company shall not extend their operations beyond the confines of Nova Scotia, until an Atiantic Telegraph Company sbal! ‘6 been organized for the pony ‘of connecting ireland with, Mane Sablon, to which point the aforesaid company shall then extend their lines. It is Proposed that the capital of the Boston Halifax and Loodon Telegraph Company be $400,000, to be thus Tog worm :—-$120,000 to represent or purchase ont the Nova Scotia ~_ raph Company's one thousand miles expended fa thores ghly repairing the same 000 for the cost of the Cape Anu and Yar- Sais: $5,000 for the land line between Cape Ana and Boston; and $92,000 as a reserve fund for extending lines or other contingencies.

FREDERIC NEWTON GISBORNE. Boston, Nov. 6, 1858, British Steamers in the California Trade. TO THE RDITOR OF THR HERALD. As there is a plan to purchase four of the iron screw steamers, now for sale in England, to put on the route to California via Nicaragua, 1 do hope for the credit of our country, and New York in particular, that nosuch scheme will be consummated. We have three of the five finest steamers ever built tied up at our piers, which could be made available at a very small expense, ‘and eoonomically run at a speed to compete with any ships now in that ser- vice. It is hardly necessary to enumerate the advantages of this route. In the Tour tip it is fourteen hundred miles shorter on the Pacific side ee en ee five the Panama route.
