Aunany, Merch 3, 1860. ‘Tho siandimg commity.ce of the Hovge yester’ay and Yhis morning made & string of reports, rebeving their Sof a lo'rge portion of their bills, petitions 008, lated during the that bave accu genera) Pro Rata ey citement A Mr. Pegler, chv.irman of the committee ef Ways and Means, wade 4 Wajority repert from that committes fa- verablo to tolliwg railroeds. The bill reported by them 4g the origine! Senate bill, and tolls the freight on the Cen- wal, Eric, Horne and Watertown, wed Oswego and Syracuse Batlronds. The report was signed by four members of the eommistee~-Merers. Fixgler, St. John, Payne and Bush, The cider threo members of the committee—Meesra, Gonkling (rep.), Callioot (dem.) and Ocl! (dom.)—were eppesed wo the bill, aad will, I understand, present a mi- werity’report. ‘Ihe bill,on motion of Mr. Viagler, was made the Fpecial order for next Wednesday morning Am atlemp! was made to meke the Albany and Susque- haema Railroad the special erder for next Friday; it iooks we though they heve beem cheated in their combination with Pro Ruta. ‘The entire morning seesion of the House wae taken up ‘= introducing Bills, woticss, reports of commitiees, and ssenekiering resolutions.

My report of the railroad Dills r tee seems to be a little mixed by yead an feilows — 1. Broadway road, from Barclay street down Broadway te South ferry, to be a three cert tine. 2 Seventh avenue line, which finds its wayto the Astor House. Also, tho Broadway paralle!, dewn Broadway to Union place and thence to the Astor House—virtually two aph. 3. Tonth avenve and Fourteenth street. 4. Grand street to City Hall Park. Also, a connecting ‘Me up Bim tireet and through Fourteenth w North mver. 5. Avenue D., from Grand street ferry, takicg en up town route. It will be geen by the above correMtion that the Seventh avenue and the Broadway paraiicl are ‘oth in the came bill, or virtually t#o roais under one emacting clause. This point {s important, inasmuch as there have been a number of bills introdu for the avenue route, and I usderstand that ail of these interested parties claimed last evening that Wer Bul was reported. One of the contending parties went to bed Jast evening under the impression that be had drawn & price by the report of the committee, when ia fact the Reportof the committee distinctly shows thet the said Eamekerbooker Stage Company is left out in the cold, and ‘tal the Covrolidates Company have drawn the prize, in eoancetion with Kennedy & Co.

OUR MANCHESTER CORRESPONDENCE. Mancnzsren, N. H., March 2, 1860. Activity in the Republican Camp—Their Doulis and Fears— Speech of Abe Lincoln—His Views of the Slavery Ques- tiom—The Irrepressible Conflict, dc., de. ‘The republicans of New Hampshire are moving heaven and earth to secure a triumph for their party at the ap proaching election, and have opened the campaign with an energy that plainly indicates a secret misapprebension of the result. They bave brougbt their strong ordinance to bear upon the cities and large manufacturiug villages, while a briek fire is being maintained in the rural districts by the musketeers and light guns of the party. While ali this ekirmishing and capnonading is going on, the demo- crats, singularly enough, are keeping perfectly quiet, and have thus far shown no signs of vitality; ond were it uot for the Conocrd Patriot, a stranger would hardly suppoce that a democratic party existed in New Hampehire. Notwithstanding its torpor, the democratic pa:ty “etil lives”? in the Granite State, and will make a gallant fight on the 13th, and their opponents feel it, © fact which accounts fer the bustie and parade in the republican camp. «The sober second thought” is quietly working upan 26 public mind, diverting popular attention from abstract theories upon Atrican elavery and kindred themes, avd Girecting itto queetions bearing upon the moral, gocia) end political well being of the working classes of th North—the white slaves of America. The effsct of re publican pelicy ia already developing itself in Mascackn esetts,and some portions «ef New Hampshire, and is des lined to produce a political revolution which its autkors did not anticipate, About one theugand pergors, men, women and children, ascembied last nigbt at Smyth's Hall, in this city, wo listen toa political speech from Hon. Abe Lincoin He» com- menced by saying that, baviog visited New Hampshire not to make political speeches, but to Fisit his soa, who is here at school, he was entirely unprepared to do justice either to his audience or his eubject, and that he was surprised to find that he was a much greater mae in New Hampebire than at home. He regerded the elavery qu m as the all.absorbing question of the day,, and one the magvituce of whieh all parties were prone to underestimate. Notwithetand. ing the fact that all men and every party desired to do away wilh the question and place it beyond the pale of dispute, it still staked in thelr midst, and would con Unue to do go until one party or the other were strong enough to dispose of it as they wished Then, and vot til) then, would glavery agitation cease in this country. I! the republicans are the etronger they would put slavery on a basis of gradual extinetion; if their opponents should prove the sironger, then must our free State constitutions give way to popular opinion, and slavery become the pet nd dominant power of the country. There was uo middle ground, and it was absurd to talk about it. It must all one way or the other. All slave or all free. Ho was aware that there were a few loose horses in the c un try who called themseives old line whigs, of which party ‘the Boston Courier was the organ, who took this middle ground, but their number was ag insignificant as their mOuence, and neither was worth talking about. Tne policy of these loose horse gentlemen was to settle the question against freedom, and he urged tho members o: that party to join the republican ranks if they sincerely wished to contribute to the preservation of the consttatian and the Union. Every man who regarded slavery a3 » wrong belonged to the republican party and nowhere else Supposing be should find a snake in bed with his chi tren, what would reason and humanity teach him to do Why Fill the eveke at once. - But these loose horse gent) mei Would say, be careful or you wil! burt the children or the enake will bite them; better let him be and pechap: he will craw] out of his own accord. In his opinion sia. very Was the spake in the bed with the children, and it was called a glorious Union. There were in the Union at present 4,000,000 slaves, who, conridered in the light of property, wore worth at least $2,000, 0,600, and the inflaence of this vast amount of, property most not be underestimated. In the North these chattels were Josked upon as human beings, having 10 value as property. In the South the matter was view ed in a different light. If this property ran away, the North was called upon to rally and aid io its capture but with their no ions of property thoy didn’t like to do it, and in some inetavces half aseisied the chattels t escape. The elave population formed one-sixth of our whole population, and viewed in the Ligbt ef property constituted an interest greater than any other in the couu wry. Mach had been raid of iste concerning the cons*itation and the Union, but they wore ueither or bothof thom o” the utmost importance. They were simpiy the caake! containing the jewel, which, hko an oystar, might be rob. ned of the important part and leave the outward som blance to delude the unsuspecting. thas boen charged that the republican party is a sac- party, becauge it has no supporters soutn of a cer. ‘Now if this theory be good, whenever we suc ‘Bg this desideratum—as we certainly shal ~-then, according to this logic, the party would ceane to bo sectional. ‘The cry of sectionaliem was, in his opinion, the most hollow and ridiculous of all the absart ecbarges brought against the repubiican party. But the slaveholitrs charged the republicans with taterfecing with their peculiar institationg. When did they do tt and esto that effect were either false in fact or miserable eopbistry in argument. If a equals when he ig cut with the lash, the South would beleve that rome rascally abolitionist bad been m citing bim to do it. In short the South had come to regard the North as being respo # for all their tridulati ws and misbapr, aod “would not be convinced to the contrary. The republicans let them alene, and tried to convince thom that they were letung them alone, but it was ne use; they would not be let alone, and it would seem like an irrepresaibie canfiict to do so, The tdoa advanced by some of a forcible resistance to the popular willis regarded as abrurd. Ii the slavery propagandiste wore in the majority they could aecomplieh iegaily what had been proposed to be done by force, and ec whip the republicans, and the idea of forcibly remisting the majority was nonsensical, for they could whip any wa! (A voice in the crowd—Toe South can't) {tell you they can. The same number of map there cap fight a8 weil ag a like number here, aud it ridiculous to think otherwise. If they beat us one way they willapothor, and we meet submit.

LANDING OF THE UNITED STATES MARINES. Mivantiay, Feb. —, 1860. Politics! affairs in this republhe, [ need not say, look gloomy. Miramon is ip possession of nearly the whole country exeept the AUantic ports, and Mazatlan and Aca- yoko on the “acifis. Juarez is still m poseession of fam- pico, Vera Croz, Alvarado aod Minatitlan; out is sorely pressed on every side. Rere at Minautian we for ‘og time momentarily ex- pected a pronunctamients in tevor of Miramon, and with it the seizure of a}! American property and the assaasina- tion of Americen citizens; but, thauke to the prompt ac- tion of Mr. MeLane, we now feel sevure. No sooner did ke learn of these revolutionary schemes than he at onca asked and obtained the consent of the Juarez government to send down some twenty men, under command of Lieut. Creaby, of the sloop of-war Saratoga. They arrived bere m the steamer Wave onthe 25th ult, when the river mer Muatitlan was kinoly placed at their disposal by Wejeb and Allen. Me The authorities of the port and vicinity, who had been planning 2 change of government some time before, were visibly excited by the arrival of Lient. Crosby; in fact, tried to stir op people to attack the steamer Minatit- lan, but in vain. The prudeot and jodicious, though firm and determined couree followed by Lent ‘Orosby gave ‘thm vO opportunity. It must be said, to the credit of thie gentleman, that be was placed ina very delicate posi- tion, where firmness and sound judgment were required. A sipgie mivstep on his part would have brought about aa ‘open war. As before said, the authorities wished for a dieturbance; ever the Governor went 80 as to demand from the Coneul an explanation by what right American troops had been sent here. He received as answer that the Uniwa States of America bad the right to eend their men of war toany part of the globe where they hat fellow country men to proiect. Subsequently Lieutenant Crosby ealled on the Governor to pay his respects to him, when he (the Governor) 6aid be did not know if be should permit hima (Crosby) 10 remain, Croaby replied that he was sent here for the protection of American interests, and that he should undoubtedly remain until recalied by tne proper authority. Subsequently a meeting was called, at which only Mexi: cane were permitted to be present, to take the matter into copsideration. The Governor and Prefect were both of the number, and submitted the following proposi tions:— 1, Shall the American troops be considered friends and allies or epemies? 2. Sball they be attacked an driven from the coun try, or %y Shan they be treated politely, but coldly. The discureion was long, heated and acrimonious. Finally, after four hours dehberation, it was decided that the Americans in the port of Minatitlan be treated coldly, bnt politely, until sufficient force be obtained to drive them out. Sometbing important, however, has arrived from Vera Cruz to day, as 8 considera>ie change in the behavior of many of the officials is virible. We are ip all about 120 Americans here, and if they ever should attempt to molest us I don't think we would get the woret of it. How a war with Mexico can be averted is impossible for us here tocomprehend The outrages committed by the Mexicans of both parties are unheard of The parti- sans of the liberal government try to keep in the dark the brutal acts committed by the adherents of this party. But is ft to be believed that while this very government is offering treaties, &c., to ur, its officials rob and plunder our citizens, and treat them as enemies. In order to show you that this is not idie taik of mine, I will give you in few recent occurrences. Colone! Pratt, Major Boyd, Mr. Hoany, Mr. Ford and many other American citizens, who had, after years of bard Jaber, accumulated a little property on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, were on the 25th ult. driven ont of their houses by au armed force, commanded by a Judge ta the State of Oajaca, and their property taken from them, vaving them without a dollar, without even a change of carment.

Both violave the most racred laws of nations— oth are particularly hostile against Americans. ‘The steamer Wave arrived here a few days ago, from Vera Cruz, with orders to take down there, or to Alvara- oo, all the canpon, small arms and aminunition here and at the mouth of the river. The barracks were, in conre- quence, stripped, and the foris dismantled. These arma apd munitions of war have been taken from here because the government fears they will fall into the hands of the enemy. Mivantian, Feb. 12, 1860.

THE WRIT OF ERROR IN THE CASE OF ALDERMAN BAR- RY QUASHED— MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL IN THE CASE OF MORTIMER SHAY. cu 8.—The People vs. Richard Barry.—In this case the Court decided on quashing the writ of error brought by the people from the Court of Sessions. THE CASE OF MORTIMER SHAY, CONVICTED OF MUR- DER. The People ws. Mortimer Shay.—In this case Mr. H. 1. “Minton moved for a new trial for the defendant, who was ngicted in the New York Oyer ana Terminer for tho al- ieged murder of Joby Leary. Qu the 21 day of February, 1860, bis trial upon such indictment resulted ina verdict of guilty. The case comes before this Court on a writ of rror cn the following exceptions:— The learned Judge on the trial erred in refusing to strike out the teetimony of Stephen Leary. To this ruling jefendant excepted. It appeared by the record of con- viction introduoed im evidence, that the witases had been convicted of petit larceny, ant sentenced therefor to tae House of Refuge. The Judge erred in allowiag the Dis- iriet Attorney to put the question to the witness Spencer, “Do you know that the prisoaer had a cutting match with any one previous to ths killing of Leary?’ The indictment is fatally defective; 1t does not discioge a cri minal offence within the rules of criminal pleading; it toe not disclose facts suiticient to give tho Court delow: Juriediction. “Tine as well ue place ought in general vot werely to be mentioned at the beginning of the indict- ment, but to be repeated to every issuable and triasie fact; * * @ but after the time has been once name! with itis afterwards sufficient to re‘er to it in the words then and there, wh:ch have the aame eiect as. if the day and vear were actually repeated.” The second iesuable fact is, that Mortimer Shay held a knife in his right band, which is set forth in the following language:.— “acertain knife which he, tho said Mortimer § i bia right band then and there bad and helt""——. "To third issuable tlle i een “that Mortimer Shay, with e certsin knife, dia boat, strike, stad,’ &o The absonce of the word “‘with’’ destroys the g-anzmen of this averment Thia averment is the gist, the esxence, the soul of the whole indictment, Unless it is bere charged. that Mortimer hag abe thrust,’ &c , that allegation is nowbere made. Supplytog the word “witn” the language contained in this couut caunot be forced to con- vey the idea that defendant inflicted the violence which cansed death. In opposition to the motion the District Attorney sub- mitted that, gs to the competency of Leary, the only of- fence of which he was claimed to have beon convicted was that of it Inrceny, for which he was sentenced to tee House This, being a first offence, was not afelony, aud the sentence ‘thereupm did not disqualify him asa witness. As ‘0 tlie question of the cut in the bat, the District Attorney contended it wae proporly ad- mitted. As to the sufficieocy of the indictment, he con- tended that it clearly describes the offence, to wit, that of murder, apd everything necessary to constitute it is positively stated. In no way can the indictment be read #0 a8 to fail to describe the offence, and every essential thereto, or so as to leave any doubt in respect to either. ‘This is rendered more clear by omitting the clause con- cerning the knife, whicb it iscieimed that the word “with” should precedo. If the indictment auflicientiy describes the offence, any deficiency in style or grammar, or clerical error, 6 merely formal, and is cured, after verdict, by tho statute of jeofatis reserved.

He soon became acquainted with the differeat ‘varities of the animal here; in fact, his knowledge pro greesed, as subsequently appeared, altogether to rapidly tor his moraler pbyeical good. In course of time the New York gentleman became acquainted with a woman living in the upper part of the city, whp was an angel of about anything but virtue. She was a married woman, Dut that aid net make any particular difference; the New ‘Yorker was not {ustidious in point of morals. They walked rode, feasted together.

Sawyer, United States Navy, which took place ip Washington on the 14th of February Inst, in the @3d ycar of his age. He was a native o° Ver- mont, and entered the service as midshipman in 1812, ‘The war with Great Britain had jost broken out, and ‘within a year Le was in active service ip the Eagle, par- ticipating in the conflict of that vessel and the Growler, with the enemy's boate and sharpshooters on shore, near the north end of Lake Champlam Our vessels were crippled end all bands taken prisoners. Jost at the close of the fight and while the Eagle was aground, a gun ex- ploded, injuring several, and partially depriving Mr. 8. for the young ae the nse 0! the sense was never restored. After ng for nearly @ year as prisoneriat Halifax, he was exchanged, and soon joined the frigate Constitation, Stewart. In 1815 that “lucky ship” captured the sloops Cyane anc Levant after a hare fought battle of three and @ balf bour's duration. Midshipman S. went to the Levan with the boaroing officer, and was sur- prised to find, in her captain, the official who had before taker him prisoner. A mutual recognition took place; the ctptain remarking, ‘*Well, Mr. 8., our fortunes are much changeo since we last met”? In April, 1818, he received hie commission as heute- ant, and was afterwards in the Warren during her fa- mous “fighting cruise” among the Greek pirates. Again he is found serving in the West Indies, employed in the Jarge squacron rentoutin 1822 and $8 to suppress tho troublesome pirates In those waters. There he took the yellow fever, which left hm with hearing still more im- paired, In December, 1839, he was appointed a com- Man¢er ip the service, and in 1853, after twenty-six years of a tive duty, pine of which were passed at sea, ho reachco the highest grade—that of captain. ‘Vermont publicly recognized bis services by presenting bim with a handsome sword, suitably inscribed “to her eon.’ He was a member of the “Order of the Cincin- pati,” bie father being an officer during the Revolution In 1865 Capt Sawyer was placed on the Retirec List, defective bearing having prevented him from performing 88 much sea cuty as some who entered the service at the same time The propriety of this action is not apparent, when one considers his distingnished services and the Gistastefulness of the new position to a sensitive mind. Thos has passed away another of those heroes who have repdered our naval bistory illustrious, and added fresh trophies to our country’s triumphs.
