THE PRESIDENT AND CUBA. [From the New York Times, Jan. 18.) In the ordinary walks of commerce it is common for the party who desires to become the purchaser of araro or costly — > — ee, pagans = . ereof. pains eat it is rather with the object of in carrying out bis design, concealing than publishing bis anxiety to buy. And this ebvionaly circumapect rule will equally apply to transac- tions out of the ordinary channels of mere commerce. The anxiety of the purchaser is pretty certain to lead to the reluctance of the seller, and to ¢1 the cost of the coveted article. Mr. James Buchanan, however, is not a commorcial map. He bas a soul above buttons, and does not pretend to apply common business rules to the affairs of this com- | moreial country, even when he meditates 80 tic & ‘bargain as the purchase of the island of Guba. pro- feases to desire the acquisition of that colemy, and he pro- fesses so loudly, 80 determinedly, and so Mcessantly, as to create the impression that be is only at his old tricks of ovasion and duplicity again, and that, in truth, be only cares to make a little splash in the waters of no- toriety, prior to hanging himself out to dry in the obscure repose which awaits him at the close of his present highly uncongenial career. It may, indeed, fairly be doubted whether the President really cares at all about the posses- sion of Cuba by the United He is probably look- ing at the possible popularity of such an idea; and that is enough for him. iderations of honesty, expediency or courtesy in the matter do not appear to trouble his venerable head. With the simple object (whatever it may be) which presents itself to his mind under the guise of the four letters which spell Cuba, he sets out to piod through everything that may be in his way, even bey he has to wade, up to the neck, in the millions of dollars he pratcs about so glibiy. But we fear that, like the philoso- pher who, while gazing at the stars, fell into the water, Mr. Buchanan’s ardor will be a little dam; before he succeeds in overcoming the reluctance of Spain to meot the views of so over-anxious a buyer; and that both his Cuba scheme and himself will’ speedily fall through helplessly. The President has rushed out into the refresh- ing atmosphere of Cuba like a rocket. We imagine he will come down before long very like the adjective con- trivance which belongs to that engine of ephemeral bril- liancy. The ‘acquisition of Cuba by the United States is nota new idea with this paper. The Times has frequently re- counted the advardages, both to this country, to ei , and to Spain herself, which would inevitably accrue from the junction of tat'istand with this confederation, ‘provided ‘the union could be effected with perfect fairness, and with he full consent of both parties to the transfer. Bat we cannot insist upon baying that which the lawful owner will pot sell. Mr. Buchanan appears to think that the mere willingness ou the part of the Uaited States to pay #0 mucb as a hundred millions of dollars for Cuba, ren- ders Spain’s refusal to treat at this enormous figure a high crime and misdemeanor on the part of Spain. We canaot view the matter in sucha light. Spain declares herself incispored to part with Cuba, for any amount of money that Mr. Buchanan’s exuberant fancy—fapoy man though he may be—cap imagine. The babble, therefore, about one buudred millions of dollars amounts to no more than if, instead a sum of three cents or another of a hundred bil- ons of dollars were named, especially in view of the present condition of the national Treasury. The island is not for sale. But more than this. The President and his friends, in seeking to place at the disposal of the Executive an ima- ginary sum of thirty millions of dollars, as an instalment @painst a future equally delusive hundred millions or more, for the purchase of Cuba, are behaving with the extreme of digcourtesy, and even of insolence, towards Span. Br. Buchanan, in bis latest official effusion, makes special mention of the summary course which he would adopt in the event of any foreign Power taking liberties with the domestic policy of the United States; and yet, in distinct opposition to the course which he there lays down for himself, he continues to advertise, in the most offensive manner, bis intention to insist on purchasing of Spain what Spain has declared she will not sell. If we reverse the and imagine that the government of Spain imiiiarly to ignore our social prejudices and to out- is enough for the present purpose. How Tyler tripped up Van Buren in 1843-4 by pressing the annex ition of Texas—how Pierce swept State after State in 1852 through the secret organization and machinations of “The order of the Lone Star,” or whatever was the name of the filibuster orgapimtion at that time—onr Slidells aud Jeff. wiees understand right well. Let them only, withthe of sundry whiffling journals in this city and elsewhere, a the popular lust of acquisition, and direct i toward “dhe gem of the Antilles,” and their battle for 1860 is half ton. We meet this le at the outset. We insist that territorial ext is pot now desirable for our rage our national pride, it will not be difficult to conceive the form in which the popular indignation of this country would find expression. Indeed, a contemporary published yesterday, a jeter from some individual in London, men- Uoning an intention on the part of the British government to acquire Maine by purchase; or, in the event of the United States vot desiring to part with that State, by force. This insune joke can, of course, only excite ridicule here; but if such a project were seriously entertained b Lord Derby's Cabinet, the magniloquent indignation pd Mr. Buchanan would assume for the occasion can be readi- imagined. The course of the President and his friends, then, is one alike insulting to Spain and unworthy of the country—that we have more good land already than we can subdue and cultivate for a century—that the acquisition of a great, rich island like Cuba would involve an enormous increaso of our military apd naval expenditure, and a general misdirection of our nationai policy and aspirations at war with repub- lican purity and simplicity. The acqnisition of Cuba would largely increase the annual costof our already pro- digal and needy government, while it would scarcely add. to so much as it subtracted from our annual revenue. It would thrust us into the midet of tue posseasions in the ‘Weat Indies of the great European States, would soon in- volve us in pro-slavery filibuster raids upon Hayti, and expose us to dangerous complications and frequent wars. If Cuba were freely offered us to morrow, with the hearty assent of every Furopean power, we should urge its prompt and positive refusal. But to dream of acquiring it in defiance not only of every impulse, every tnstinct, of the haughty and sensi- tive Spanish nation, but of the sters determination of both France and Great Britain—a determination which we have justified by proclaming that neither of them would be permitted under any circumstances to acquire that isiand—is sheer madness. Far better strike for India at once, or propose to revolutionize Ireland by the aid of the Motters whose recent arrest has excited 30 mucn good natured surprise ‘on both sides of the Atlartic. Had Commodore Vander bilt, during his pleasure cruise to Europe, stopped a week to bombard and carry by assault Gibraltar, he would not have acted more absurdly than do those who shal! favor Mr. Slidell’s proposition with any idea that itis to lead to the acquisition of Cuba. But look at the project in its true lightof a politician's dodge—a tub thrown to the greenest of whales—a shrewd device for hye - sion of the national! treasury, and enjoying ment not merely of a beggarly thirty million, but of eighty | millions per abnum, dows to March 4, 1865—and the | ¢ is easily understood, Viewed in that light, the ine- vitable defeat of the project in Congress is no obstacle to the realization of its euds, but rather a means of eecuring them WEBS’S VIEW OF THE SLIDELL PROPOSITION. [From the Courier and Enquirer, Jan. 18.) There was treasure in the Baron’s hall, and Captain Macheath, Mat o” the Mint, Jemmy Twitcher, Nimming | Ned, Robin of Bagshot, and ‘some other gentlemen of ‘the road, beld a counsel in regard thereto. There was a diffe- rence of opinion, The trouble was how to lay hold, and *scape Tyburn. As for rushing down, slapping in with a cutand-thrust, and making off with the plunder, they all agreed it id not answer, though time was when Cap. tain Macheath went strong for it. Now there were law officers about, and the chance of clearing them would not be one in a hundred. What could be donc? Mato’ the Mint thought the best way of managing the contables was toabolish the laws. Once do that, and, as he insisted, the mob of the towns would all’ turu in and make them the strongest, jolliest ganz go ng, aud one with which nobody would dare meddie. Not so Jemmy Twitcher—be was for keeping on the right side of tue law, especially when watched: and bis advice was to hang ‘round the grounds, make themselves as disagreeabie as possi- Die, and patiently wait for a kick—then rush in, and grab by way of acclamation. But the majority fancied neither of these modes of doing the business. They declared that it Was safer and smoother, under all the circumstances, to get at the thing in a qnietkind of a way, by distribut? United States. To presume on our superiority of force ‘over that of Spain is only to prove our inferiority in the qualities which make a people great. To attempt to cast upon another and a weaker Power indignities to which we ourselves would not submit, is to degrade ourselves rather than to debase the nation waiel is the object of our in- sult We quite concede the two important facts, that it would be desirable to possess Cuba, and that the only proper way of dttaining the island will be by purchase. But, while it ne- cesearily requires the cooperation of two parties to effect a bargain, it should at least be an object with us to acquire the isiand which we seek to obtain as economi cally as possible. This purpose we must hopelessly defeat if We coutinualy cry out m all the market places of the world that we must have Cuba at any cost, aud are pre- pwred to pay any money that Spain may be minded to ask for it. Even Caba might cost too much. The govern- ment, therefore, would better serve its object by decent atience than by violent baste and unseemly rudeness, {he purchase of Cuba may, and no doubt will, be attained by-and- bye; but we confess that we are not among thosc who permit themselves to expect that so delicate, and at the same time so important, an undertaking can be mana- ged by Mr. Buchanan. THE THIRTY MILLIONS FOLLY. {From the New York Express, Jan. 17.] The latest reports from Washington’ are to the effect that the Senate Commitee will report in favor of Mr. Sli dell’s bill to place thirty millions of dollars in the hands of the President, during the recess of Congress, to nego- tiate the purchase of Cuba; also, that the House Commit- tee of Foreign Relations will do the same thing. The recklessness and profligacy which now seem. to in- | stinctively mark every measure of the present adminis- tion, have a vivid illustration in this monstrous scheme. Monstrous, we say, for contemplate it in whatever light it | may be contemplated, it is impossible to see in it, pre- sent or prospective, anything but resuits and conse- quences—it 1s no exaggeration to say—of the most calami character, to the peace and welfare of our country. Not to consider the probability of a war with Spain as one of the first fruits of such a Dill, aS a simple matter of domestic economy, what are ¥e to think of a government which has hardly money enovgh in its exchequer to defray its ‘ordinary expenses, and which i# seriously inconvenienced to know how it is going te raise revenue enough to continue its operations for the next fiscal year, thus deliber pro- posing to ron up an enormous debt to buy up foreiga ter- ritory, which nobody but the democratic party politi- cians—and not all of them, even—want or care anything In private life the man who, with an income sufficient to offaet his daily expenses, would pre- fer to ron beols over head in debt to obtain possession of some coveted bauble, of which one of his neighbors was the owner, mankind would be very likely to set down, if not as a knave, certainly as an individual whom it would not be safe for anybody to trust. ‘This is precisely the position which the administration occupies towards Congress in the Cuban scheme; and we are happy to believe that the representatives of ‘the peo- ple know Messrs. Slidell & Co. well enongh to know that they are not to be trusted. There is but little danger, there- fore, that this wild scheme will ever be pushed further than a formal report from tho Foreign Relations Com- mittee. It will create some talk in the House, and in 80 — ing pecuniary compliments to the agents’ and servante, from the housekeeper down—thus gain the range ot the house and do their own pleasure. For the remainder of this veracious bistory, we must refer our readers to the Newgate calendar. If that is vot at hand, a copy can easily be procured, we imagine, by sending to Wasbing- ton, Where it seems to be used asa Senatorial text book.

But Slidell & Co., a8 we have jhad occasion to remark heretofore, know very well that it will all end in telk. ‘They know they cannot get a vote for it, or for anything else of which they are the special patrons, in the House of Representatives; and as long as that body, holding the purse strings, repels their overtures, it I @ matter of | comparatively litle diferenee how ’far_ the Executive may succeed in bringing over tho Sonate to the scheme This, then, will unquestionably be the‘result”” at home; and, like maby other just such “results,” it will soon pass from poblic remembrance. Not so abroad, however, where the secret springs which control the action of politicians and demagogues here, are not so well understood. At Ma- drid tue fact that the President’s views on Cuba should be seconded by committees in both houses of Congress, will revive the popular indignation against us in Spain; while giand it will stimulate an apprehension that the same arguments that are pot forth by Mr. Buchanan in favor of taking voseeseion of Caba now, will, in due course of time, he employed for the seizure of Jamaica, the Bermudas, and other British West India possessions. Indeed, soine such apprebension as this—it will be seen from an ‘articie we copy elsewhere from the London Chronicle—is already begiuning to find vent; and we may be sure, in the pre sent temper of the Emperor of the French, everything will be done in that quarter to aggravate that feeling. Our relations with those Powers just now, especially in respect to the Contral American question, do not hs to be of the most satisfactory character; and it ought to be A grave question, therefore, whether it is worth our while, by entertaining euch idle and mischievous propositions as. this thirty millions bill, to dispose those Powors to the be lief that if we ure uot seeking to rob them of their posses- sions, we are, at any rate, determined to pick a quarrel with them, .

He made a large collection, but (as was afterwards discover- ed) he, instead of banding it all over to the community, ‘abstracted 1,600f. and a silver watch, which he deposited in his own name with a tradesman at Marseilles. Some time after the Bishop of Marseilles authorized him to make new subscriptions in the north of France, and on going to Paris he obtained the protection of the late Archbishop Si- dour, He was, on the Archbishop’s recommendation, ad- mitted to distinguished families, and he pretended to see visions. ‘Isee the Virgin, the saints, and the angels!’ he ‘sed to cry; “they speak to me, and encourage me.” But uspicion was ¢: , and the authorizations be had re- ceived to collect were withdrawn. He then went to Ame- rica, and at Quebec, New York, Boston, Baltimore, &c., he represented to Protestants that he had abandoned Catho- Hicism, to Catholics that he was authorized to collect for the establishment at Marseilles, and he obtained money from both, The Bishop of Marseilles, hearing what he was about, wrote to say that he was an impostor. At the end of November, 1855, he sailed for New Orleans, but was wrecked; he then gave out that by that disaster he lost 75,000f. He afterwards visited the Danish istands of St. Thomas and Guadaloupe, and raised subscriptions in both; in the latter island with the authorizatiou of the bishop, whom he imposed on. In August, 1856, he ar- rived at Brest with a considerable sum in his possession, and from that place he went to Marseilles, where he usked the tradesman who had received his first deposit to accept second one. He then applied for re-admission into the monastery of Bon Secours; and, in the hope that he would give up the money he had received in America, it was granted. But nothing could be got from him, and he was expelled. Towards the end of 1856 be had ob- tained admission to the Dominicans at Lyons, but being found to be devoid of all religious principle, he was, at the end of four months, turned out. was next heard of at Montpelier, where he bought a house for 5,500f., and lived init for some months. He after- wards went to Lyons, where he endeavored to obtain ad- mission to the Order of the Fréres de la Sainte Famille de Beliay, but did not succeed; he, however, was accepted in another community in that city, but did not stop in it long. Afterwards he went to Caen, where he was re- ceived in an orphan asylum, but was expelled in a fort. night. He next entered a similar asylum at Rouvray-les- Rouen, and stopped there two months. He afterwards re- turned to Marseilles, then went to Nantes, then obtained hospitality in the monastery of La Trappe, at Bellefon- taine, then in a monastery at St. Martin de Beaupreau, and then from the cure of Cholet. In all his peregrivations he solicited and obtained subscriptions for Notre Dame de Bon Secours at Marscilles, and he appropriated the whole amount to his own use. ‘At Cholet, a commissary of po- lice, from whom he solicited a sgrataijous passport on the plea of poverty questioned him, and not being satisfied with his answers, had him searched. A suin of 2,200f. in, gold was found on him. The commissary arrested him and all the preceding circumstances were then brought to light.

B. FISHER. [From the New Orleans Picayuno, Jan. 8.] ‘The telegraph from Mobile yesterday annouuced the death of our old friend and correspondent Charles J. B. Fisher, the “First Private’ of the Picayune for many years. He died on Thursday night, of pucumonia, after a protracted illness, of which the fatal termination has been expected for a or two. Mr. Fisher belonged to a bighly intellectual family. The ceicbrated Clara Fisher and Mrs. Vernon, to whom the stage has no superior in her line, were bis sisters, and his brother Joun was a celebrity in his day. Charles had the family taste for the drama anda natural flow of genial humor, which made him a most agreeable companion, and sterling qualities of integrity and faithfulness which made him a valued friend His literary turn brought him into frequent intercourse with the press, to which his criticalability, his knowledge of subjects of art, and his epigrammatic style, made bim a welcome contributor. He was connected at one time with Jobn Gibson, “ faithful and bold,”’ in the True American, of this city, and during his residence in Mobile with the ister there, abd a8 correspondent of journals here, and particularly on sporting subjects with the New York Spirt of the Times. These were, however, occupations secondary to bis regular employment for a’ great man; Years as Secretary of the Mobile Gas Company, of whicl our towneman, Jas. H. Caldwell, is, we believe, the chief proprietor. Mr. Fisher was about filty-five years of age, as nearly as we can remember. He leaves a widow—one, too, of a highly talented family—a daughter of the re- nowned comedian Jefferson, of Philadelphia, and with her a amily of children. We are afraid that he does not leave hem in prosperous circumstances. With the most ami- able qualities of heart, the most kindly disposition, scru- pulous integrity and industrious attention to the business of others, be bad an almost child-like unworldliness, unfa- vorable to the accumulation of this world’s goods. We hope, however, that his family will pot have this to be added to the pangs they must feei tn the loss of go gentle, affectionate and devoted a father and husband as was Charles J. B. Fisher. He had hosts of acquaintinous here, as in Mobile, and not one ever heard an uacharitable sentiment from big mouth; and none that kaew him can spesk of him but with kindness. Hon. A. J.

The death of the Princess Doria Pamphili took place at Rome after a lingering illness of nearly two years, borne with the greatest resignation and Christian fortitude. The Princess was an English woman by birth, eldest child of John, sixteenth Earl of Shrewsbury, and the last but one of the Catholic line of that iilastrious house; married in 1889 to Prince Doria, the head of the great Genoese fami. ly of that name, but long settled in Rome. The Princess occupied for neariy twenty years the highest position, by her popularity and rank, among the nobility of the Eter nal City, where, by her unassoming piety, her amiable manners, ber extensive benevolence and charities, she was the beloved and respected of ail ciasses. Having chosen Rome as country, the Princess Doria and her sister, the Princess “orghese, whilst ever retain- ing the feeiings of the daughters of a British noblem intimately identified themselves, more than any foreigners ever did, with the society in which it was their lot to be placed. The last rites of the church were paid to the incess’ remains on the 22d, im the family church of St. Agnese, in Piazza Navona, in the presence of an immense concourse of every grade of Roman society, anxious to pay a last homage to her memory. her union with Prince Doria the late Princess has left five children; the eldest, Theresa Mary, was married during the present year to the young Duke of Rignano, the only euid of Duke Massimo, one of the most patriotic of the Roman nobility.

Over thirty—say thirty-flve—American vessels are now ia port. The United States steamer Harriet Lane, Commander John Faunce, is in port. Yesterday nearly every American citizen in Rio paid the last solemn reepects and fulfilled a painful duty by following the remains of Mr. James Ferguson to their last resting place. He died of an hereditary disease, on the 4th inst. Among those who visited the grave were his Excel- lency the American Minister, the United States Consul with the officers of the Harriet Lane, in uniform, an several English and Brazilians of note.

For many years past it was reported that gold could be found ail along the Gila river—indeed, I have frequently read of it in the columns of your paper; but the hostility of the Iudians was such as to prevent parties who passed through the country from fully exploring it. It was not, however, considered that gold could be found so near the mouth of the river until about the middle of last August, when a Mr. Birch, an old California miner, who was pass- ing through here on his way back to Texas, determined to stop and prospect the hills for a few days, as his cattle were tired after crossing the desert. He had not been an bour at work before he found several small piects of gold merely by scratching with his kuife. He then set to work and made himseif a rocker, and commenced in earnest; and as there were at that time many emigrants on their way trom Texas to California, they all stopped as they came along, and went to work also, unti! in about six or eight weeks there were about fifty men, most of them having families, encamped and at work here. About the first of November I and several others deter- mined to go down from San Francisoo and try our for- tunes. We accordingly arrived here about the 20th of last November, and found some seventy men, mostly all Texans, at work. They have built themselves houses made of brush and mud, and called the place Gila City. It is situated eighteen miles above the junction of the Gila with the Colorado river, at which point Fort Yuma is located. There is a city laid off right opposite Fort Yuma, in the Gadsden purchase, called Arizona City, which contains but two mud houses, one of which is the Post Office for a large tract of country on both sides of the river. When we arrived at the mines we found that they were not doing so well as we had been informed; only four or five parties could be said to be making high wages—the others wero only doing tolerably well. Taking all on an average, they were only making about four or five dollars a day to the man. I have seen some claims yield as bigh as fifty dollars per day to the man; and bp leds rs that would not pay more than y cents per day. e mines in this section of the country will never pay well, as a general thing, as the river is nearly half a mile distant from the nearest place where gold is found, and they have to haul the dirt in wagons to the river to wash it, for which they have to pay two dollars per load. Some loads yield as high as twenty dollars; others do not care enough to pay for hauling. But should ists ring here and force the waters up to the hills, as in the fornia mines, then, indeed, they will pay hand- somely. The mines here extend about five miles on each side of the river. There are three mining camps here at present. There are numbers of men coming daily from California. Many of them stay here for a few days, and prospect a little, and not finding it as rich as they would wish, curse the country and go ome again. But I have never seen any one who would go directly to work ana keep at it steady who could not make it pay well. There are a few companies who have made well of it. One company, I know, have taken out three thousand dol- lars in two months. The gold is found in the deep ra- vines, and in some places on the tops of the hills. There are scarcely any deep diggings. It is found mostly near the surface and on the bed rock inthe gulches and ravines where it was washed down the hills from decomposed quartz rock. But this is merely a papenings and no doubt when the adventurous pioneer Californians come down they will make their way up to the head waters of the Gila, where xold is eaid to be found in large quantities. Indeed, they arealready beginning to organize a large body of men to proceed up, but they must be well armed and vigilant, as they will have to advance into the very heart of the Apache country. Should they organize an effective body ot men I will go along with them and keep you informed of all that transpires. There are here, at present, some two hundred men, the majority of whom have no’ fixed claims, but are prospecting the country all around. I myself did the same for nearly three weeks, and not fluding anything good, bought one-third of acclaim which is paying well The climate of this country is delightful at this season of the year, We have now such weather as you have in New York ia October. It scarcely ever rains here except a few showers in August. The entire country for hun- dreds of miles is one vast region of barren hills and vai- feys. It never can be made much of as an agricultural country, as there are no means of irrigation, and the ground is highly impregnated with alkali, There is no Umber except in some places, where there are a few mez- quit or cottonwood trees to be found. Its only redeeming character is that it is extremely rich in minerals. Pro- visions are very high here, a8 everything has to be brought from Gulifornia—cbiefly from San Francisco, up the if of California to the mouth of the Colorado, thence to Fort Yuma by steamer, The stages of the Uver- lund Maii Company from St. Louis pass through here twice a week; 80 we lave ample means for correspon- dence. I will now close this Jetter. Ia my next I will give you all the items of interest that may transpire here. The Crew of the poole Ketch Brothers Dis- qd le [From the Charleston Mercury, Jan. 12 Usrrep Staves District Covrr—The United ites Dis- trict Attorney, James Conner, Esq., after reading the law as set forth m the act of 1800, for the suppression of the Slave trade, gave out indictments against the following persons, composing the captain and crew of the ketch Brothers, the vessel taken by Lieut. Stone on the coast of Africa, and brought to this port on suspicion of being en- gaged in the slave trade:—Captain James Gage, Antonio DeSoto, Antonio Blanco, Jose Silvarra Clara, Jose Antonio salvarra, Juan A, Tenido, J. Knick, Charles Wan, John ‘axer. Judge Magrath delivered an elaborate charge to the jury, explaining to them the nature of their responsibili- ‘ties and the soiemn obligation of the oath they had taken. He said they #hould give the case an earnest and impar- tial investigation, inquire diligently into all the facts, and to ascertain these facts of the witnesses who would come before them to testify upon the obligation of an oath. He admonished them against auy outside influences, and said they were to act unprejudiced and without fear, favor, or hope of reward. Such was the duty explained in their oath and by whien they were bound, Neither were they to be guided by their favorable or unfavorable opinion of any law. The Judge reviewed the history of the slave trade from its !neoption to the present time, and the various acts passed by Vongress and by the individual States for its suppression, He showed that the legislation in reference to this traffic by Congress and by the State of South Caroiina, had always been of a consistent aod con current character, und the suppression of the trate had been made t effectual the laws of South Carolina He then pointed ont the meaue for determining the national character of the vessel. They were to say whether she did or did not belong to the United States, and then if the persons found on board of her were citizens or residents within the limits of the United States. If the evidence clearly established the national character of the vessel at any tine, they might assume it tocontinue. By the terms “residing in the United States” determinate dom\ we which i8 to he distin gulahed from mere transita. It was not necessary Uiat the vessel etould have slaves on board, or that ed them she should have landed ‘them on to look for positive testimony, paration for the violation of the law in a premration for eluding detectic conviction, They wer te to fn ra similar prepa ration was discovered in this v Vessels fitted out for this service obliged Ww make certain preparations, which, fortunately for the cauge of justice, could not be explained as connected with the business; and when such Was liseovered to be the case, there could hardly « doubt be said to exist as to the guilt of the party charged igo briefly and eloquentiy reviewed the and blessings secured to the South by hor System of labor, and ag excelling in that respect any other system in the world, He also alluded to the fast spreading change of opinions on this subject in the Old World. Batwith the question of the slave trade, he said, Wwe had nothing to do. The trade is prohibited by law, and that law had been ratified by the States, There ‘was sometimes a eupposed right, a supposed power in Grand Juries, be would not say’ to disregard the law, but to nore ihe law.

To Alderman Boots, Chairman of the Committee on the ‘Appointment of City Inspector:— I would recommend to your consideration a gentleman well known to tho citizens of New York, as a ft person for the office of City Inspector—a man who through his uprightness has gained the esteem of all those who know him. This gentieman is no less than Dr, Foster. With all my recommendation I cannot make him more than | what he is. Through the advice of numerous friends I have written this note in his behalf. By giving this your carliest consideration, you will much oblige yours, re- spectfully, Dr. W. DOYAL, A — letter of recommendation was received from ‘Alderman Boog stated that ho did not believe a doctor to be a suitable person to fill the office of City Inspector; it requires one of a more practical calling. Alderman Apams said that he frequently, seven times out of ten, knew where the Health Warden did not attend to his duty, and he has had to have it done himself in some instances. He considered that it might be well to have a medical man in some of the offices, under the City Superintendent, but saw no reason why the office itself demanded one. Alderman Boorg thought that Dr. Foster did not seem to be in favor in the Board of Aldermen, and he felt as- sured they would never confirm his appointment. He thooght it would be well for the Mayor and the democrats or republicans, or all the members of the Board of Alder- men, to confer together on the subject. Alderman ApaMs approved of the suggestion, and added that it is now time that something should be done, as Mr. Morton’s time has expired, and the press and the public demand some action. Alderman Boots said he knew a man who he thought would fill the office of City Inspector to advantage. His name is Aaron B. Rollins, a resident of the Eleventh ward, and an apothecary. He then said that he would nominate this gentleman. Both Aldermen then agreed to hold a private consulta- t'on as individuals, with Mayor Tiemann, and they ad- journed, stating tbat they would be ready to report next Thursday evening, andin the meantime they would en- deavor to get a quorum of the committee together to take formal action. After this they adjourned. Surrogate’s Office. Before Edward C. West, Surrogate. WILL BEJECTED. ‘The will of George A. Greaves, deceased, was denied probate.

The counsel for the contestants, who are the children of the deceased by a former marriage, objected to their competency as witnesses, the one being a legatee and the other executor.
