THE BLOCKADE English Trade to Matamoros—Oase of the Prize Dolphin. Jn the English House of Commons, on the 20th of June, Mr. PRACOCKE called attention wo the stoppage of our (British) trade with Matamoros, & neutral port, by the cruisers of the federal goverment. He aise referred to the decisions of the federal prize courts, and cailed upon the government to dofine what a legal traffic was. He also urged the necessity of greater vigilance to protect our commerce on the high seas, and moved for papers. ‘The Souci n GeNKRAL said that if an honorable mom- ber moved for papers connected with the case of any par- ticular ship, it would be for the government to say how far such papers could be produced during pending com- munications; but when & motion in terms 80 general as that of the honorable member was made, it would be quite impossible for the government to accede to it with- Out interfering in the most incouvenient way with pond. ing communications. The honorable gentieman com. menced his observations by referring to in one of Ear! Russell's specches, in which tho bie lord spoke of @ oase of contraband as a case which might be a ground of seizure, though the ship was ostensibly bound to Mata- moros, or & port of that description. ‘The honorable gen- tleman appeared to think that, according to the exist. {ug law of nations, there could be no sufficient ground tor taking and adjudicating upon a ship having an apparent destination, according to its papers, to Matamo- ros. The honorable gentioman se-med not to be entirely aware of the precise position of the port of Matamoros, and it was essentially necessary that they should under: stand the bearing of all these questions which they re- peatedly heard about the trade of Matamoros, and that they should know what Matamoros wag. It was a fron- tier town in Mexico, lying on one side of the river, and ow the other side there was Texas. A ship putting into the river of Matamoros and lying in the river roadstead would, in consequence of the state of the tide aud wind, be constantly obliged to lie on the Texan side. Perfectly clear that the crew of such a sbip, having the destination of Matamoros in its papers, would, if thoy had any instructions to land goes, whether consisting of arms or other descrip- tioug of contraband articles, whenever opportunity occurred, on the Texan side of the river, havo great facili- ties for ag de their orders. At the same time, when there was nothing in the ship’s papers to show that it was intended as a matter of course to land the goods on the ‘Texan side of the river, and when i¢ was perfectly im- possible to say thas the contraband on board the ship bound to the river Matamoros was not intended for the neutral side, then the doctrine of law was that it was in- tended to land the cargo on the neutralside. The honora- ble member went on to say that even if the cargo might afterwards by otbor moans find its way to the Confede- rate States,in the course of trade, that could be no ground for coufiscating the vessel which originally brought it. That was @ doctrine admitted most dis- tinetly by the prize courts of the United States in which the honorable gentleman had ¢0 little conf- dence. In one case to which tho honorable member referred the good faith of the prize courts of the United States was distinctly shown—the case of the Will-o’-the-Wisp. That ship was lying in the port of Matamoros in the American waters. She was taken be- cause it was found that munitions of war, powder and arms, were being discharged from tho ship. They were, however, discharged into a lighter sent from the Mexican ide, and tne evident presumption consequently was that they were intended to be landed on the Mexican side. The that circumscance, accord: place the ship in great dan- ger. was that tho gunpowder was con- cealed, and that led to the suspicion that it was meant that the powder, after being landed at Matamoros,#hould find its way across the berder. Nevertheless, the prize court acquitted the vessel and released her. It was perfectly true that the prize court did not give costs and damages, and that was one of the matters ‘to which the honorable itleman objected. Ail ho could say was, that as far as mages were concerned, there never was a case of that kind where the suspicion’ was so ‘in which costs and damages had been given by the English Courts, and therefore 4! the English government were to insist on damages they would be laying dowa a rule never acted upon by Lord Stowell under similar circumstances. Of course it was vory easy for persons on this side of the water to apply to the House of Commons without first carrying their case to that tribunal to which, by the law of lons, recourse: should first be had. If a prize court gave a sentence not nequiesced in by the interested parties, the next course was to gotothe of Appeal, and after that the govern- ment of the neatral country might consider whether there ‘was appareat In the sentence pronounced: and in ‘such case only was'it consistent with the law of nations for tho neutral goverament to interfere. The Conrt of Appeal fm American was the Supreme Court, heer grt in optoson mem. ber, that among other inconveniences {ucident to a dis- ‘cussion like the present there was the risk that ho micht, if the facts were within his knowledge, give utterance to etatements prejudicial to cases under investigation, and with respect to which there existed the ee of appeal. Tt was right that the House should know medo of the practice pursued in the English prize courts, and that practice had been ad- hered to the Americans ever since. It gave, advant to tho ship, suspicious character, raising a strong presumption ‘was something wrong, something disguised or the ae itled ee haan, vt Anapcbomen poeees might even proceed to further evidence. That was towell throughout ithout undoubtedly the the war; and the those cases, from the ship or her crew it ought to be as diroct and conclusive as was required in other ships, he submitted a proposition which, however plagsible, ‘was entirely opposed to the practice in the prize courts of this country. Evidence not direct and conclusive in the ordinary sense bad been a8 sufficient to tvert ' the onus probandi, and to throw on the sbip the of exonerating by idence, at the pen- boing condemned if such evidonce was not forth. ing. Even when the ship, complying with that condition, did clear herself from the suspicious circum stances, yet it had been held that the very existence of those circumetances was enough to justify the capture ‘and detention of the ship, and to deprive her of any He did nos -atend to enter . ‘accept wi man had said, he would be accepting an exparte stato. ment; and if he wore to mention anything to the contrary, he would be projadicing the case of the owners be- ype os |.

A case in which there was no disguise, no _prevarication, nothing to justify the seizure would be @ case in which exemplary damages ought to be givon or at least claimea by her Majesty's government; but to demand damages where the captain prevaricated, as in one ia- stance, or where articles of @ contraband character wore found on bourd, as in another, would be to say that her Majesty’s government should insist upon other countries doing to them what they never did to other countries, and what they would not concede if demanded from them. The prisciple upon which ber are govern ment had acted was this: to endeavor strictly to apply against themselves and in favor of the United States those same principles of law which they applied against other nations and in favor of themselves in former times. The code was certainly severe enough; but we ought not to relaz it in our ewn favor, its severity having arisen from the decision of our own courts, which the United States had tollowed to the letter. (Hear, hear.) Lord R. Cacu, denounced the federal judices of the government, and complained that it was statements alone of its law officers that had caused the inofficient blockade of the Southern ports to be tolerated at all. He complained in strong terms of tho decisions of the federal prize courts, These courts were to be regarded with great suspicion, and more especially as the administra- tion of the law in America was controlled by the bayon- ets of Mr. Lincoln, He complained, also, that t :e govern- ment had taken no steps to watch over the interests of the owners of :vessels taken before tho federal prizo courts, and in so doing they had neglected their first and highest duty, Mr. Coupxn said he felt himself in rather a novel posi- tion in appearing, even by implication, to be taking a side in opposition to the interests of merchants and ship- owners, while the noble lord who had just spoken seemed to bo the advocate and champion of those interests. It was pretty well known that with commercial blockades, extending porbaps over a coast of two thousand five hun- dred miles, he bad no sort of apanethe whatever, Such ‘@ mode of carrying on warfare between two nations, by which a greater amount of injury was inflicted on inno- cent neutrals than upon the belligorents themselves, could be objected to, in the first place, on the ground of natu- ral justice, He did not think it just tl two nations should be allowed. used that term because the civil- ized world had a right toa voice in tt—he did not think they should be aliowed to carry om war in a way that in- flicted on a country three thousand or four thousand miles of a lieved injury, in an economical sense, and apart from the bloodshed of the battle field, than they inflicted on cach other. That was the case with the present war in America. There was, no doubt, a greater amount of suffer- ‘ing entatled by it upon Blackburn, Preston, Rochdale and o’her of our large towns than upon any town in the United States. Gouerally, when a people were going to fight they did not regard the bloodshed and the turmoil of battle as a kind of suffering which was unexpected or unattended with its glories. He was now concerned, therefore, with the musery inflicted on hundreds of thousands of innocent people, who were deprived of the means of earning their daily bread by honest in- dustry in consequence of the present war. But who were responsible for that? Undoubtedly the public men of this country,and those who upheld commercial blockades as a means of warfare. A resolution was adopt- ed by the Liverpool Chambor of Commerce, within the leclared that the principle be maintained in the interests of Kng- land. The mover argued that, in case of war with the federal States, the power of blockade was essential for our maritime supremacy. eee ot a Te arene was despatched from made eut regularly for instructions, writtes or verbal, to the supercargo, or any other officer,jto run her into an American port if there ‘vessel were stopped? Of course this state of things pro- duced great inconvenience and joss, and it was of that ¢ and lows that the noble lord was now making a grievance. But had the noble lord taken the trouble to go to the Board of ‘Trade to ascertain what were our exports just now to the West India Islauds and the Mexican ports of goods notoriously destined for the Southern States? Everybody knew that there was a great contraband trade going on thero, and that we had the monopoly of it; and it was great affectation, there- fore, and most unreasonable to come down and complain that'things were done which caused inconvenience to that and the innocent trade as well. Ho was not such a purist as to pretend that capitalists should not employ their money in that trade. The Queen did not pretead to prohibit her subjects from en- gaging in it, but she warned them not to do it, and told them if they did they would run the risk of in- curring the penalties of international law as administered by the American prize courts. these inconviences: followed as a matter of course, because English subjects chose to engage in this trade; and it did not become honorable members to come down to the House and com- Piain of these inevitable risks and inconveniences. Of course he claimed a fair trial for the English vesscl« and merchandise carried into the prize courte—the only tri- Dunal before which, according to the law of nations, they could be tried. Tue noble lord had said a good deal against the administration of American courts which did not coincide with the opinion of more competent judges. For instance, some years ago Lord Lyndhurst, in bringing ‘a matter connected with maritime law before the House of Lords, had referred much more frequently to American au- thoritles than to English. The noble lerd would flad that so tan authority as Lord Lyndhurst had quoted Kent and , for instance, more frequently than even Lord Stowell. right, then, had the noble lord to say that justice would bo administered inthe American courts with less impartiality than in our own? (Hear, hear He talked Supremo Court at Wasii having given a deci. gion under duress—with soldiers at their ; but Ae the noble lord for proof of that. He could not accept noble lord’s allegation without his proofs, He was diligent an observer of American events as most people, be had not soen any statement of the Supreme Court giving @ decision because the Court was surrounded by Srmaed men.

Had it not -been admitted by the highest authority in the House that the people fof Ireland must go away from their country; that there was no employment there for them, and that they were too numerous &t home? (Hear, hear.) Thore was another reagon why there should at this moment be an exodus from Ireland to the United States. It might not be known In thia country as well as it was in Ircland, and as well as it would be all over Europe within a very short time; but it was this—that within the last fow months there had been passed in the United States a law for which there had been agi- tation during a period of ten years, which had been opposed by the South, and which had Leen vetoed by Mr. Buchanan, It was called the Homestead law, and by its provisions one hundred and sixty acres of land were given to every head of a family emigrating to the United States, at the cost of surveying, which was three pence and an ‘cre, ‘Thus, as forty shillings was the prico of one bun- dred and sixty acres of land, and as the United States government had one thousand millions of acres ef uncul tivated land, all England, France and Germany might be emptied into America, ya oe ee eee give aed impetus to emigration?

CHESTER. ‘The remains of Captain William H. Chester have been Drought from Gettysburg for interment in the family vault. Captain Chester left this city early in the war, with his command, in the Sickles Excelsior brigade, and, either at the head of his company or on the General’s staif, participated in alljthe severe engagements which that brigade sustained. At Yorktown, Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, during the seven days’ engagements and at Fredericksburg he distinguished himself, and escaped with but slight injuries, though several horses were killed un- der him. He was twice decorated for gallant eonduct on the field, and during the intervals of active service on the march or in battle ho sustained with energy and eMciency the duties of bri- gade commissary or judge advocate. He was very popular with his command and with his fellow officers, from his dashing bravery, abilities and geniality. From his comrade in arms, fellow aid to General Humphreys, we have the following incident:— During the terriflo struggle of July 2the Third corps was,as usual, whore there was warm work. General Humphreys, with his aid) Captain Chester, was well in front. Our men for the moment were slowly giving way. ‘The Captain turned to rally them, facing the General, when a ball entered his spine and passed out in front. He exclaimed, ‘I am struck.’’ The General immediately passed bis arm around him to support him from the field. At this moment the Goneral's horse was killed, and he was obliged to consign the Captain to an orderly, Hardly had they moved to re- troat when a shell tore off the head of the horse and in- stantly kilied the orderly.
