Questions as to Whethe: British Con- sul flas the Right, Under the Extradi- tion Treaty, to Make a Requisition to the Goverm United States ter the Kxtradt ofan Alleged Crimi- mal, and as to the Impounding ef the Alicged Forged Bills, &c. UNITED BTATRS COMMISSIONERS’ COURT. Before Jobp A, Osborn, Esq. @cr. 14.—On the application for a postponement of the ease, in order to give the prosecution au opportunity to bring from Kngiand witnesses to prove the forgery to be tm tue handwriting of the accused, Mr. Edwin James, eonnse) of the Innglish creditors, argued the following potnis:— That two questions arise in this case:— 1. Whether tue British Consul at New York has the Fight, uuder the extradition treaty with Great Britain, to maak requivition tog the: ernment of the United the extradition of « criminal: and 2. Whether it is es-ential that any indictment should have been found or warrant obtained in England, where the crime was commitied, as a preliminary step to the making of such requisitinn. Ab LO the flreb question, it is submitted that the British Qonsul may inst tite such proceedingsas have been done fm this ¢ the powers aud pro 8 of ube treaty aud the of Congress of August 12, 1848, passed to give it © The British Consul is an officer of tho British govern- @ nt with'p the weauing of the treaty, This point has been oxpressiy decided in the case of ex-parte Kaine, (14 U.S lioward R, p. 103), and the requisition was made in ‘the sane fori as iD ths case and also in the case of ex- parte Hie.!ibora (1 Parker, Or.

Tt is not specified tm that treaty by whom the requisition ig to be made: whereas in the trvu’y beewgen the United States and the French gov- ernmon’, in the foiowing year—vamely ,9th November, 1ba3——it is provided that the surrender shall be mado the authority of the keeper of th: sels, “Minis- ’ on the part of the French goverument, art of the government of tho Cited States er chai be made by the authority of tho Ex- 110 tbe treaty with the Swiss Con Sth of Novernber, 1855, there te a dise ecutive th federation uf 0 Hnct provision that on tho part of the United States the Barrevacr shall be made only by the antherity of the Pxecuttyo, 1 on the part ot the Swiss Confederation by of the federal counsel. ‘The absence of any such provision in the treaty with Gear Brita loads to the inference that any duly constl- tused authority of the Rritish goverument in this country mag make ‘hon bere.

Pecanse by the third sec to, of the act of Congress the execntive government has the entire control of the delivery of the criminal to the foreken government, and the reqr'sition and the examie ation taken in this care are merely preliminary in the maicre of sn inquiry, the xidimate delivery of the crimi- 0 the foreivn government being vest * Hive of the United States. hear bedin Me seen d wocrivi* of the act of Congress makes copies erwRtsIOn® @videthioe ung, which am arte" fa any sucb foreign country UE TS Beet ese S008 ( ue 1a) have Bon granted,” res 3 QOF require that any auch war- Fant should have heen granted, and the obvions meanin; and intention of the treaty was to embrace two classes the rst wb6¥@ “We criminal has excaped from justice; whe'd an Mdictment or warrant has been rbtained Jn the forego eountry; and the second, where crime bad been committed and the criminal has eroape) hefore any criminal proceedings e@ould be taken. aa: if this construction $s not the co-reet one, a perfect Smpunity would be afforded to a criminal who committed any crime specifled in the treaty and flod trom justice medi tely nfter its commission, 2nd heforo any crimi- nal provcedings conld be taken in the country were such ermne had been commiked, ‘The Commissioner stated that he hid looked into the question since, the last meeting.

Launeh of the Iron-Ciad Manhattan. ‘The Mauhattan, 2, Ericsson fron-cind battery, was launched yesterday morning, at bal(-past mine e’ciock, from the yard of Mr. Secor, im Jersey City. Over six ‘Ubousand persons were present, among whom we noticed Rear Admiral Farragut, Advairal Gregory, Admiral Da- pont, Chief Engineer Stimers and several others. The workmen commenced to strife away the blocks at nine o'clock, and in about twenty minutes the veasel began to siide. A hich occurred, however, which detained her on the stocks till a quarter to ten, at which time sbe slid gracefully into the stream amid the cheers of the sur- rounding multitude. Miss Gregory, the daughter of the Admiral, christeneé the vessel. The Manhattan is a one-turreted Monitor, resembling the original craft of that namo in her geueral features, ‘She will have no masts, no bulwarks, no structure of any kind on deck, except the tarret. Although in the ebicf Points of her construction there is great similarity between her and the first vessel of her kind, considerable diffe rence exists in the details. To give an idea of the pro- gress made in building this description of vessels, it will ‘de interesting to recall the prominent features of our first and second butches of iron-clads. It will be observed that only in the dimensions and in some of the minor characteristics have we diverged from the original plan, ‘The following is a correct statement of the peculiarities Of thege three classes:— ‘The original The Passaic The Manhat- Monitor. batch. tam batch. 200 feat. 235 feet. 40 feat. 46 Coet. 934 feet. la feet.

Instead of four and a half inches of iron, we have nine inches; and instead of one eleven and one fifteen-inch gun, the Manhattan will have two thirteen-inch guns, which, however, will be able to burn more powder than the old fifteen-inch guns. It ‘was unavoidable, when adding additional weight of armor to the ship, to make the draft of water as as in the Monitor, if that were even desirable, which is a matter not decided on. One of the peculiarities of the Manhat- tan is that she hag sponsons, which tighten the, frame to the vessel, as it were.
