Tho accused parties arrested on Saturday were brought before Judge Russell yesterday, ex-Recorder Smith appearing a» their counsel. During the day the Mayor’ssquad arrested Ben. Wood and Charles T. Dickenson, the alleged proprietors of the Sparta Academy lottery; also the editors of a number of Sunday newspapers, for advertising the schemes. Judge Russell de- cided to adjourn the examination until twelve o'clock on Wednesday, when it is expected a num- ber of other persons will be hauled over the coals. Some of the prisoners were held to bail, while others were allowed to go on their parole until they could | rocu:e security. The Jury in the case of Cancemi, the Italian, charged with the murder of Bagene Anderson, y brought in a verdict against the prisoner of manslaughter in the first degree. The punish- ment for this offence is imprisonment tor life, or a period not less than ten years. In the General Sessions yesterday, counsel for Cl vles Lassalle, editor and proprietor of the Courrier des Elats Unis, who waa indicted for publishing a lotiery, pleaded guilty to the charge, reserving the right to offer affidavita in mitigation of punishment. The Recorder said he would pass sentence on the last Friday of the term. The de- fendant was not present in court. William H. Horton (colored) pleaded guilty to receiving stolen goods, and as he had been imprisoned four months he was sent to the City Prison for thirly days. ‘he Grand Jury presented a number of in- dictments, and then retired to resame their duties. ‘The District Attorney stated that, in the event of the Recorder deciding adverse to the motion of counsel for Charles Deviin, Charles Turner and charged with defrauding the public treasury, hi the indictments, he would call them on for trial next Monday. Counsel replied by saying that these parties were indicted for the purpose of electing the Comptroller elect, and as that object had been effected they ought to be satisfied. It is probable that his Honor will give his decision on Saturday. James Colbert was tried and convicted of receiving $80 worth of cloth, the property of. William Petit, knowing it to have been stolen. William Andrews and William Barnett were tried for robbery in the first degree, Delia Lockwood having alleged that she was assaulted by the prisoners in Greenwich street and robbed of $15. As she was a notorious prostitute, and as the pre- vious good character of the accused was proven, the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty. The French naval d n at Tahiti has been re- inforeed by the galliot La Calédonienne and a steam cutter. ‘The British steamship Magdalena, with the West India and South Pacifi s, arrived at Southamp- ton on the 21st ultimo, with $4,550 in specie from her ports of call. The inclemeucy of the weather yesterday had a tenden cy to check out door business. The sales of cotton em braced about 2,000 bales, about 600 of which wero re. ported to bave been made in transit, The market closed without change in quotations.

The Crists in the Central Ameriean Ques= tlon=Are England, France and the Ualted States in Accord? ‘The organ of the Derby Cabinet in London is taking special pains to impress upon the people of England the belief that there is no discord- ance between it and our government on the Central American questions, but that, on the contrary, there is a perfect accord between the United States, England and France in the policy to be pursued in those cour Lord Derby and hi keenly alive of impressing this idea upon They already feel that popular sentiment is weak- nd that nothing would more certainly re n their eviction from power than a disput which should imperil the friendly relations be- tween England and this country. If we had no other reasons for rejecting the assertions of ihe London Herald on this point, the personal feel- ing and spite which it exhibits in ite language on the subject would be sufficient to establish grave doubts But we have other reasons, and strong ones, too, not ouly for'doubting its asser. tion that our government isin accord with the policy of the Allied Powers in Central America, but for believing that the very reverse is the case, and that it is in direct antagoniam with them upon it. The history of the whole of this Cex too recent to Joad to the belief that its asperities are removed; we know too well the tenacity with which every British administration clings ta the traditionary f the government, to believe that it haz vandoned at a single point. B that, believe there is a statesman of pre. ponderating influence the present Britieh Cabinet of sufficiently comprebensive grasp to ndon the old traditions and strike out the new path for England's great policy, which is ty casting its shadow before, The Clayton- yvention purported to be a settlement hearthurnings which had grown up i} en us on account of the proceedings of Mr. Chatfield, the Tiger I and the od attempts to extend the ridiculous Moe That conv yet Lord Derby is t least for a short Willia m; and if we have the known reservations and dise of that existed between the two Britieh lega- tions which were aceredited Inst yoar at Wash importance utral idex in seizure of contin quite protectorate isien and a snare, to be a del for its maintenance to support of ent to Washing on Ouseley was no dance views | ington The course of the Britich government since the ratification of the Cls ayton-Bulwer treaty, in its Central American policy, has Ween one of constant antagonism to this eountry. While pretending to be willing to give up its usurp tion of the Mosquito territory, it has taken pos session of Sap Juan del Norte, and recently laid claim to a still further extension of that protec torate southward. Professing the utmost friend thip for Honduras, it seizes the Bay Islands and refuses to give them up without an alienation of the territorial sovereignty of that republic Pretending to approve the stipulations of the Case Yrisarri treaty, it assures Nicaragua of ite protection when refusing to ratify it. Assuming to wish to have the Nicaragua Transit route opened by any company, it joins France in back- ing the efforts of M. Pelly to obtain a privilege for a French company, to (he exclusion of exist- ing American rights, And now, with assurances of the most friendly regard for the United States, it orders our ships to be searched in Central tion turned out | American waters, sends down there a Minister | with instructions adverse to us, uniles with | France in sending an allied fleet to head off our ¢fiorts to open the Transit route, and recalls Lord Napier becauee, having a deep knowledge of the wishes of our government and the instincts of our people, he foresaw the collision which must result from the Ouseley double dealing, and did not approve of it. It will soon become patent to both the people of the United States and of England that the two governments are directly antagonistic in , their views on the Central American policy, as they are on the Mexican question, the right of search, and the Monroe doctrine. And it will be found that this antagoniam results from a tenacious clinging by Lord Derby's Cabi- net to the exploded tradition that England’s best intercets lie in opposing American extension, aud in too great a sympathy with the despotic theo- ries of Louis Napoleon, The statesmen of Eag- Jand have fergotten for the last thirty years that the Monrce doctrine was the barrier raised by the wise and sagacious policy of that great states- man, George Canning, against the principles of the Holy Alliance, when they seriously threatened the liberties of England. In its de- velopement it is still one of the great ramparts of those liberties against the same principles resuscitated in a new phase by the ambition of Louis Napoleon. Canning laid down the doc- trine that precluded the extension of the despotic theories of continental Europe to this continent; and Mr. Monroe was induced to assert them in a more guarded form, through Mr. Rush, our Minis- ter at that time in London. England will, before long, come back +o the wise policy of Canning, aud then the traditionary follies of Palmerstoa and Derby will be buried forever. Perhaps the return of Lord Napier from this country may hasten the comfng of that good time for the liber- ties of England and of the world. Tn the meantime, our government should not be idle. Congress must act at once on points so vital to freedom in the New World. If there are any statesmen in its ranks, now is the time fur them to show themselves. The policy of this country should be defined and laid down ia uamistakeable terms. The question of the acquisition of Cuba should receive new life from the legislative sanction to its purchase. The independence of Mexico and the continuance of a republican constitutional form of government there sbould be dectared a vital part of our policy. The extension of the British Mosquito protectorate over the rest of Nicaragua should be opposed. The establixh- ment of the principles of the Holy Alliance, through French ministers, ia the weaker republics of this continent, should be resisted. The right of search, the police of the seas, the insidious occupation of Ruatan, Belize, Yucatan, Mosqui- to, San Juan del Norte and Boeas del Toro must be resisted; and the establishment of the para- mount influence of the United States, for their free use by the whole world, over those narrow seas and isthmuses which are to be the scene of the greatest commerce of our next generation, must be insisted on. Herein lies the antagonism between this country and the policy of Lord Derby's Cabinet, and we, for one, have no doubt which must give way to the other. ‘The Recall of the British Minister, An Anglo-American journal which makes ‘illy efforts to be mistaken for the confi- dential organ of the Britith government in this country, profits by the rumor of Lord Napier’s reeall to give fresh color to this ilhu- sion. Whilst it regards the recall as certain, it laughs at the cause assigned for it by the London Poa, and asserts that the only motive of the change is “the delicate health of Lady Napier, which languishes under the trying climate of Washington.” It happens somewhat curiously that some five or six weeks since, when it was announced in her ladyship’s immediate circle that the intended shortly leaving for Europe, it was added that the motive of her de- parture was the completion of some arrangements connected with the education of her children. At that time no hint was dropped of her hus- band’s recall, nor was her ladyship’s heatth in any way brought in question. When Lady Napier first came here we believe that che euffer- ed slightly from the change of climate, but by occasional tripe to the sea side, or to the Alleghany mountains, she succeeded in re- gaining ber usual health. Of these facts our Anglo-American contemrorary ought to have been aware in its quality of confiden- tial organ of Lord Napier and his govern- ment. Ite version of the motive of his lordehip’s retirement, and its fling at what it calls the pereiflage of the in connection with hie sentiments on the subject of the Monroe doc- trine, are not, therefore, entitled to more credit than its usual quasi-offictal statements. Th truth is, that the editor of the journal in ques tion is, in every sense of the word, an outsider, and ie kept carefully in the dark by British officials on every point on which it is his io terest to he correetly informed. The fact that Lord Napier has not served out his fall term as Mi rf, that he known to bave a strong personal liking for this country, that he has moat impression here, forbid the supposition that his retirement is voluntary. Nothing but the assumption just noticed, that his lady's health imperatively requires the change, would justify euch an idea. As we have shown, there are strong reasons for believing that no such motive exists, or, if it doer, it ix only and made « favorable | to such an extent as would necessitate 4 temporary separation. Whea it was an nounced that her » was about to leave for England to w th of ber children, the in believe, was, that she should place them at school and return after a short stay amongst her friends It is strange that following the announcement of his lordship's recall a new color should be sought to be given to these facts. Is it inferences to be drawn from the statement of the Poet have caused alarm aod disquietude to th narrow-minded and bigotted clique of English orice here, whom the hybrid journal in ques tion represents’ It horrifies these old fogies to learn that a man of Lord Napier's comprehensive political views and high position should be led to recognise the justice of a principle which can alone maintain good iutelligenee between the two countries. . ntion, we not beownee th The efforts made by the wry papers on this and the other side to throw ridicule on the statement of our London contem- porary, only entitles it, in our opinion, to greater attention. ft should be recollect ed that the Post is the organ of Lord Palmerston, by whom Lord Napier was appoiat- ed to his present mission The idea, thore- fore, that that journal should endeavor fo pass of such a joke, and Werhy compromise Lord Napier’s epinious aud posi tion, is simply absurd. Tking all the facts into consideration, und remembering the jealousy with which his lordship’s American par tinlities have been viewed by Comte Sartig and bis entourage, we adhere to the opinion tha’ there is foundution for the statement, and that French influence has effected bis recall. Th: double headed miasion of Sir William Gore Ouse- ley, and the news that has just reached us of the j establishment of an English protectorate over Central America, are facts which strongly corro- borate this view. Clearly Lord Napieg is a man of too much political intelligence to suit the Derby Cabinet at such a juncture. He has no doubt offered @ steady opposition to this measure, aud hence his withdrawal. It is a curious evidence of the want of harmony which exists amongst English statesmen on all queatious of foreign policy, that in the Derby Cabinet there should be two leading men—Mr. Disraeli and Lord Stanley—whose sen- timents are diametrically opposed to the policy which bas dictated the recent proceedings at San Juan and the Colorado, and that one of its ablest diplomatic representatives should be recalled for ‘entertaining similar views. French influence seems to have causeda new kinck in British councils, which will probably lead to another break up in the ministry, or, more serious still, a disturbance in the friendly relations ef the two countries, Blunders of the Washington Union—General ‘Walker, the Schooner Susan and the British Fleet. Our blundering cotemporary, the Washington Union, in an article which we reprint in another column, has made an attempt to explain thedire- ful resulta that are to follow “the escape ot the Susan.” With ita usual happy knack of making things turgid, it has made the question as clear as mud. That lucid journal has one gift in a paramount degree, and that is the gift to err. Like Mrs. Partington, it never opens its mouth but it puts its foot in it. And this is what it has done in describing the terrible excitement that will “rouse the volunteer feeling in this coun- try” if the coaster Susan and ber cargo of filibus- ters are caught by “the British and foreign forces in Central America.” It complains, too, of the encouragement given to the filibusters in the cotton States, and that the efforts of the go- vernment to carry out the laws standing upon the statute books, “which the cotton States have made no effort to repeal,” have not been well sustained by public sentiment. itis not from capturing a coasting schooner that will be illegally in foreign waters if she goes to Central America, nor from arrest- ing Walker, who has abjured his Ame- rican citizenship, on board a ship with- out «a legal clearance, that difficulties are likely to accrue to our government. If she echooner Susan makes ber appearance in the harbor of San Juan or on the coast of Nicaragua without the requisite proof that she is an American vessel duly authorized to carry on # foreign trade, ber seizure by a foreign Power does not concern us at all, and no excite- mdht of any account will be caused thereby in the minds of the American people. It is not in the boarding or capture of runaway vessels without papers that the American people find cause for excitement; but it is in the overhauling of duly cleared and legally employed vessels, like the steamers Washington and Catharine Maria, that we find an infringement of our rights; and it is such runaway coasters as the Susan that give an excuse to the foreign Powers fur such acts of infringement, and prevent our govern- ment from putting a stop to them. It is the same with Walker. He has abjured his American citizenship, and his capture on a foreign soil involves us in no trouble. But thould be be taken from on board a duly regis- tered American vessel by a British ship, that would be an insult to our flag which would cause an intense feeling. Asa leader, Walker is pretty nearly played out in this country, and his only chance for getting up an excitement in | bis favor is to get some over-zealous British officer to make a fool of himself and arrest him on the high seas while un- der the American flag; or else that some equally simple American officer shall undertake to arrest him on Nicaraguan or any other foreign soil, and send him bere as a prisoner. One American commodore has already placed us in that quandary, aod when he got Walker here the government could do nothing but let him go. If the British officers are now cautious and only arrest him after he leaves the legal protection of our flag, we do not care what they do with him. It is our belief that if the British government once gets possession of him it will be ina greater quandary what to do with bim than our own ever was, They cannot Leung him; they have no right to thrust him on our hands; and if they send him to England he will find it ten times easier to raise money and get off an expedition there than be has found it bere; for Joho Ball is always more ready to put money in a despe- rate enterprise than Brother Jonathan, and he has not half so stringent neutrality laws as we have. } As for public sentiment in the South, the Vain blunders there as widely as it does on the other | points of this question. There are certain por- | tions of our neutrality laws that are opposed to the principles of international law, and violate | the rights of our citizens. These the common | sens€ of the whole community rejects; and whe an over zealous federal judge, with passion | and insult in his langnage, mounts to the times of Rdward IIL of Kagland to find a single precedent for hie violent de- cisions, he stains the sty of law, and de- prives it of power. If ral Scott were w- | day to resign his commission as Lieutenant Gen of the American army, and pt from the Mex mander-in-cbie Compbell won him two thousand doll: St an government a commission as com f of the army of Mexico, Jadq 1 arrest him in New Orleans, fine | s, and send him to the | Prison for throe years, if he could find « | jury to convict him. But there is the No | jury will convict under such and if; General Scott or President Juarez did not choose | to confes# that the commission had been iesued, | no Grand Jury could find an indictment under the law, though everybody might be morally convinced that General Scott wos going to Mexico ae a mighty leader. The Unon bad better give up endeavoring to explain great public questions, and stick to its pap, at least until it has cut its teeth. What the American peogle want and will insist upon is, that no precedent for the boarding of American ships by British officers, or for the exercise of a British protectorate on this continent, shall be established. These are the points that may breed trouble with England, and not the catching in foreign waters of a coaster willout papers, or of the foreigner Walker, elsewhere thap under the Auncricgan dag. rab. a law | eteville, Arkansas, about twelve | tate the tranem: j NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, DEVEMBER 14, 1858. 2 ETERS OER Pm Se Bethe eI Tuk CukvaLikk Forney Avan IN TROUBLE. — ‘The Chevalier Forney, ia theae unhappy times for democratic rebels, finds himself in a world of trouble at Washington, In casting about for re- lief he fies, in a late letter to bis own paper, seainet (he administration and “Bennett of the New York Hexaty.” He says we are “the right arm of the strength of the administration;” that ‘Lennett is, par excellence, the prime favorite of the White House;” that “Bennett bullied” the adinivistration “into allowing him to send a cor- respondent on the great submarine telegraphic expedition, in the good ship Niagara;” that “he forecd another of bis agents into the diplomatic service in Mexico,” that “he got Fleurot, the friend of his family, sent as Consul to Bor- deaux;” and “then Chevalier Wikoff, the most intimate associate of Bennett, was sent abroad, on the secret service fund, as a rov- ing diplomat.’ Next we are told by this ungrateful fellow Forney, that “Bennett has a longing for society,” and thea, that al- though “Mr. Crittenden is not invited to dine at the Presidential mahogany,” “Bennett is sent for, and eecorted to the fireside of the President, and honored almost on bended knee.” Such are the complaints of poor Forney. The ungrateful vagabond! Has he forgotten the time—not very long ago—when he sent Wikoff, as “a roving diplomat” to “Bennett” in behalf of this same Chevalier Forneyt—that Wikoff ful- filled his mission, and that, for “sweet charity's sake,” we did all we could in behalf of Forney, first, for a place in the Cabinet, and then for a consulate, &.? Very true, our good offices availed not, because Mr. Buchanan understood his man, and knew his weaknesses much better than “Bennett.” But surely Forney cannot have forgotten how he sought our “s@ciety” at the Everett House, and personally thanked us for our good endeavors, We accepted his ac- knowledgments as from a man in his right mind. If he was not so, how are we to discriminate be- tween Forney drunk and Forney sober? Poor Forney ! 4 As for that dinner at the White House, it is hardly necessary to say that it was marked by that hospitality, politeness and cour- teay which, on all occasions, may be found in the “society” of Mr. Buchanan. But if he will drop in at Fort Washington on any day in the year, and bring Forney along, reformed, repentant and sober, they shall have a dinner far superior to the dinners of the White House or any other house in Washington. We pity the Chevalier Forney. On the basis of his repentance and reformation we should cheer- fully give him a geod dinner. Poor Forney, Will anybody take “the pledge” to Forney? Tux Arianric TeLeorarn Cane. —By the last mail from Europe we learn that those en- trusted with the underruning of the cable at Valentia Bay, Ireland, for the purpose of laying the shore end of the line, had discovered a kink which caused the Exposure of the conducting wire to the water, and which must have seriously interfered with the transmission of the elec- tric currents. We are of the opinion that this is the defect which has prevented the suc- cessful working of the line, and now that it has been removed there is the strongest ground for the hope that the cable is now electrically per- fect, or sufficiently so to allow of the trans- mission of messages between the two worlds. It isto be regretted, however, that the under- running was discontinued, as other defects might have been detected, and ft is no less acause for regret that all the electricians at the Valentia station were discharged, so that after the defect alluded to had been repaired, there was no means of testing the electrical condition of the cable. As soon, however, as the financial negotiations of the company with the government shall have been concluded, we have no doubt that the cable will be put in proper working order, and that business will be resumed on the line. This would seem to be the chief obstacle at present, and as soon as it shall be removed the cable will be worked, and worked successfully. THE LATEST NEWS. ‘The Alleged Slave Yacht Wanderer.

Of the play iteelf, it is sufficient to say that it was a complete, success, and promises to have a long run. The pilot is full of interest, and the charactors are well sustained thrangh- oul. The acenes are laid partly in England and partly ia ndia, and the late war in the last named country is taken advantage of to give ‘an additional interest to the play. ‘The principal parts were performed by Mr. Boniface, Mr. G.
