The obsta- cles which it would intorpose in the way of votiog—or, as Gov, Seward cuiled them, the vexations of suffrage — would prevent many constitutional voters from deponiting their ballots.

The experiment ofa registry law for the city of New York wus tried in 1840, while Governor Seward ozcupied the guberuatorial chair.

In the rural districts such a law is entirely unneces- sary, and in the large cities it would utterly tail to answor the purpose of its enactment, 4, The proposed registry law would largely increase the expenses, und consequently the taxation of every town in ebe State. 5. The Jaw would piace additioval burthens ‘upon the electors, subjecting them to inconveniences and taxing their time in complying with its provisions. 6. The proposed registry law, by its obstacles in the way of the exercise of the right ot suffrage, would pre- vent maby Iegal voters from depositing their ballots, ‘7.

JOAN C. MATHER. Nullifying the Fugitive Slave Law. Mr. Spencer, in the Assembly, cited the statistics of the “undergrownd railroad,’’ in support of his adv of the passage of a bill to nullify the law of Congress for the repaition of fugitive slaves. He said that 176 fugitives had passed through Albany in geven months ending with the }st of January last, aud argued that if the Personal ‘Liberty bill were enacted into a jaw, they would have re- maived tn this State tothe present time. It is necessary to prove that this class of people are qualified to become @ Gesirable acquisition to the population of New York to constitute an inducement to the Legislature to take mea- sures to invite aud retain them here; and ina humane point of view there seems littie occasion to interfere in their behalf. Out of 176 alleged to have escaped, it is not pretended that ono was sought to be recaptured, and itis very doubtful if there would have been had all of thom remained at Albany to this day. But if the Legisla- ture pass the Personal Liberty bill, they canoot make it a law, because it contlicts with the constitution of the Union ‘and the laws of Congress. Raising Canal Bridges. Sevator Hubbell’s inquiry into the expense of raising cana! bridges will, it is believed, elicit information that muy induce legisiative action. Unless the necessity for sock a change be found to be imperative, the expenditure involved should be avoided.

[Correspondence of the R'chmond Enquirer.) New York, March 1, 1859, In the olden time there was a stiff and aristocratic King. lish merebant, whose dwelling and place of business was in Wail street, between Nassau and William. The ground till belongs to his beirs, but over which leasehold pro- perty bas been buiit, with » court leading to them, called Janucey court. He was tae Astor ot his day. He’ had a country teat called “Elmwood,” near Bloomingdale, now the upper, but not densely built part of the town, He lived in true aristocratic. style, and kept. bis curiae oriver and footwan in buff breeches and evoked hate. He had av oply daughter on whom he dote’. Aboxt tho time of her attaining womanhood, there appeared a dash- ing young “middy” of the United States Navy, who may afterward bave worn the button of a liutenant, He Voldly made love to Mies Jauncey,, whieh wa repulsed by the futher, but not by the girl” Mr. Thorne, for thet was his name, was forbidden the boxse. A runaway match was the consequence, ‘The result was the displeasure of “papa, who settled all bis property, at the time of his death, by will or otherwise, on his daughter and her issue, leaving the hnsband without a dite, Colonel Thorne, ag he afterwards was called, and sub sequent to Jauncey’s death, went with his fam'ly to Pans, where the large revenues of his wife enabled him to live in aristocratic style, and to educate the children. A daughter, Jane, married, a French nobleman, Baron de Pierres. ’ At the time of the marringe, the family of Col. Thorne contracted to give the daughter a dowry of the value of $74,241, to be secured bya mortrage. on “Ilm. wcod” of forty ucrer: the dowry to take elfect on the de. mise of the Colonel and bis lady, ‘This marriage contract was executed in Paris, under the laws of France, ‘The mortgage on “Elmwood” has not been executed in this country, aud compliance refused on the ground. that con: tracts of this nuture made in France cannot bind property in the United States, even if duly exccuted in a legal forta iu that country, which is algo contested. ‘The plea of limi- tation is aleo claimed in bar. ‘The suit was brought by the Baron and his wife, aud tried before Judge ‘Doaworth in 1857, who rendered’a verdict for the specific performance of the contract. ‘The defendants appealed from this deci- sion; hence ite argument before the Supreme Court. The forty acres of “Elmwood,” the former country farm of Jauncey, is now worth over $1,0C0,000. Personal lavelligence. By a letter from General Scott, which we find published in the Baton Rouge (La.) Advocate, of the 3d inst., we learn that tho General declines the reception which had been tendered tohim by the Legislature of Louisiana, and which he bad previously accepted. The General as- signs as the cause of the change of determination indis- position and sympathy wita the commuoity in the jato steamboat disaster; by which so manv valuable citizens have lost their lives, and so many fumilies been made ac- quainted with sorrow. General Cass gave a State dinuer to Richard Cobden, the English Parliamentary reformer, the other day. It 18 stated in a Washington letter tbat Mr. Cobden has invited Dr. Bailey, the editor of the National Era, to the summer with him in England, and that the invitation will probably be accepted. Senator J. A. Willard bas reported a bill in the Senate of this State, to erect the town of Brandreth, This is a fitting compliment to a gentleman whose public spirit and social virtues render bim vniversaliy popular. The Richmond Enmuirer is authorized to state that the rerort which has been lately circulated, announcing the recent marriage of a daughter of Mr. John Y. Mason, present Minister to France, is altogether untrue. Lord Frederick Cavendieh and Hon. Mr. Ashley, cf England, and Gen. Cadwalader, of Philadelpoia, were in Savannah on the 9th inst. The Hon. W.

The Fugitive Siave Law—Important Deci= ston. A Washi ‘correspondent of the Boston Courier, un- der date of ‘ch 7, writes as follows:— In the Supreme Court of the United States, Chief Juatice Tavey thie day read an opinion in connection with the judgment of the Covrt upon certain writs of error to the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, in several cases in which, in one form or another, that tribunal undertook, some Years ago, to declare the Fugitive Slave law of 1861 un- constitutional, and to discharge from the custody ‘of the United Stales Marehal, and from the jailor to whom he bad eommitted his prisoner, @ pergon in custody—first under commitment by « Commissioner of the Circuit xCourt to answer ® complainst, and afterwards upon a commitment by the District Court of the United States, after indict. meut, trial and conviction m that court. The offence charged was the aiding in the excape of a fugitive slave from the custody of the Marshal. Upon the issuing of the writs of error it seems that the Court of Wisconsin instructed their clerkto make no re- turn, and no one bas appeared to maintain their views be- fore the Supreme Court of the United States. Cortified copies of their proceedings were presented aud filed here by the Atorney Cencral, and copies of the opinions of the ges of the court below were produced, it seems that bot only was the Fugitive Slave law declared wholly un- constitutional, but also that the papers (in the cases under the commitment by the United States Commissioner) were vot io conformity with that act, supposing it to have been constitutional, The result, asI understands it, is as fol- sows, viz:—That when a person is in the custody of an officer of the United States, a State may indeed issue a writ ofbabess corpus, and the officer holding the person in question in custody must make return to the writ, so far us toshow that he holds him under a precept of tho United States Court, but no further; and that thereupon ibe power of the State Court is at an end. Neitheir the formality nor the validity of the procces, nor the consti- tuttovality of the act under which the process issues, can after such return be inquired into, either upon a writ of habeas corpus from a State tribunal or upon aay other State process. The right of possession of persons, for pro- perty, cannot be inquired into by a Stato Court’ by any process which transfers the same from the custody of a United States officer, Judge Taney las clearly shown this to be inno wise a course derogatory to the State Courts, but to be the direct letter of the United States conetitutien, which the people of the States bave made by their own act, paramount to the constitutions und laws of the several States, The Supreme Court, however, did not stop here, but took occasion to declare, empbatically, that the Court be- low had erred in its judgment as to the act of 1851, and ‘hat it was coustitutional in all its parts and provisions, and by consequence, that a Marshal of tne United States 13 bound to defend his posressicn of the “chativis”’ go in his custody, if neceseary, by force, The New Ruslan Steamer General Admiral, Navy Yarp, New York, Jau. 22, 1859, Sin—In compliance with your orders of the 10th inst. to visit the General Admiral, ‘and examine her thoroughly, shovid Mr. Webb, her coustructor, not object, and report to the Department whether in her model, construction, machitery, rig, or appointments, improvements may not be found, or features at least, which we may with advan- tage adopt, we bave the honor to xeport that we have made the visit and examinntion. As the ship is but partially equipped, the mast, ma- chinery and armament not being on board, we cannot at this time fully embrace the requirements of our instruc- tons. ‘The model differs from that generally adopted for war vestels of a similar clase, tberefore we are not prepared to 1ecommend the adoption of this model as an improve- ment ip the form for such classes of ships tili the result of her performance is known by a trial trip at sca. ‘The workmanship and d‘eposition of materials is excel- lent, and fully equals that of any vessels constructed by our governmevt; and we may mention that in regard to ‘ocation of beams relatvely to the ports, she ia superior, fom the fact of the armament haying been determined before building the vessel; and thus the constructor had 4 definite knowledge of the requirements to guide him in the construction, We tharefore recommend 1m future that the armamcut be always determined in our service before building the versel ‘The armament of the General Admiral consists of sixty €3 cwt. guns, aud two of Dahigren’s pivot gunz, each 0° 15,000 pounds. The materia! of the carriages is mahogany, and they are thoroughly built. We recommend mahogan; fer ali gen corriagcs hereafter to be built in the service. From thé plap, we find tne sige of the fore and main rigging to be 11% inches, which is greater than that prescribed for our first class steamers. So far, this may be consicered as an improvement; aud it sts the propriety of our allowance book being so modilied as to incrense the size of the lower rigging, as well as topsail shects, braces, &c., of our large steamers. These vessels, our first clues steamers, are about one thousand tons larger than our live-of battle-sbips, while the ri prescribed fer them is the size of that only for our clings sniling frigates. ‘The ¢ngines are of the ordinary back-action type, having two cylinders of eighty-five inches diameter and forty iehea stroke. As the machinery is in detached parts, in process of being conveyed from the manufactory to the skip, we can form but little idea of the detail arrange- ment. The interns] arrangements in many reepects are pecu- liar, which are made to conform to the usages of the Rus- fian service; such, for example, as the large lockers on the berth deck for storing the clothing tor the crew, who have to provide themscives with a sufficiency for an entire a nd on the or:op deck additional lockers to contain ‘s provisions—while in our service clothing is served out when needed, and provisions daily issued. Tucrefore, this arrangement is unsuited to our service. ‘The crew are provided witli conveniences for bathing and have water closets. We are of the opinion that the heaith, comfort and morals of seamen would be improved if more care was taken for the above mentioned provisions for the comfort of the crew in our own men-of-war. The water closets, however, in this ship are necessarily placed on the spar deck, as the usuai head bas been omitted; but they cannot ve thus placed in our frigates without inter- fering with the training of the forward pivot gua. ‘The General Admirai has Reed’s ventilator, for the pur- pose of removing the foul air in the ship, by pipes leading between every two beams on the berth and orlop decks, passing down between the timbers, connectivg with a main pipe ot large size in the hold, running fore and aft the ves- sel, from thence drawn out of the ship, and discharged into the smoke pipe by afan connected with the steam ma- chinery, This arrangement, if proved ou trial to answer the purpose intended, will add greatly to the heaith of the crew, She has also Brown’s [on voor and chain cable fix. vores, together with Harris's lightning conductors inserted in the masta, with Hidden’s patent air-ports and prisms in tbe upper balf ports of the gun deck; these we recommend to be iatroduced into our naval vessels, The construction of the General Admiral reflects great credit on Mr. Webb, and also upon Capt. Shester Kol, the Russian officer who has supervised the work, We have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obe- dient servants, ANDREW H. FOOTE, Commander. W. E. EVERETT, Obief Engineer. §. M.

CONVENTION OF “PROGRESSIVE BACHELORS.”— ‘The “progressive bachelors” of Delaware beld a State Convention at Smyrna on the 26th ult. There were about sixty delegates present, and R. H.
