JOHN CUNNINGTON. @ac Law of the Case -Effect of the Rus- sian Naval Viett. {From the Londen Telegraph, Oct. 10.) The twosteam rams constructed by Messra. Laird at Liverpool have been seized by order of government. Our correspondent at the port, on whom we cap place every rolianes, informs us by telegraph that the instruc: tious wero received by the Customs authorities yos- torday afternoon, ana were immediately carried out. To the public generally th’s result will cecnsion no sur prise, for we had already intimated that the su'ject was under clore ond earnest investigation ; aud it depended, of qourse. upon the fucts and upon the bearing of the acknowledged piblic Inw taken in relation with those facts, whut tho ultimate conclusion should be. Some weeks havo olupsed since we referred to the subject; the length of time was in itseif a proof of the caro, aud we may say of tho pains, given to the questiob; and hence thote out of doora could uot assumo the upshot one way cor the other. Certain izconveniences are vary likely to flowfrom the deci-ton; nor ts it to bo expected that the trondlons relations of neutrals to belligerents, even when thoy are kepton their most precise wid sound footing, should be entirely {rec from embarras:ment. We inay, for instance, apprehend that some among the todera's will regard the proceting as dictrted by tho throats which have been levelled ‘at tuis couutry— uuoflicially, no doubt, for we hase sdmitved that the tenor of the commubications from Washington ca. sioned no just ground for complaint, But the public of the Nocihern Stutes is likely enough to ascribe the *+con- cession’? to a judliciows reverence for Americ: power and darirg; and ft would pot at all surprise us if the ovent were assOcluted with cerfaia unprecedented phe nomena of the Kussian navy at New York, On the over hand, the Conf @ States mnsy very probably pr eume the step to Hietatod by a hostile fooling to th and those among them who can sec through millst: are toierably gure to couple it with the recent departure of dir.

Mr. Mason's reports to hig governinent were colored by his own diseproin'm-nt, as It reflevied the teet his countrymen in Lnropo at bis want of porsona! sugvess herg; and bis retirement waa realy os devoid of connection with the seizure of the steam rams at Liver. pool, ae that act is with any moneos® from red Lot loyal- ists of the North, The sclo motive that prompted the proceeding of yesterday was the resolate determination to abide by the most hteral and un justified neatral.cy, with out favor to Lhe gue side or the otier, without hostility to either, Tuat the vecersity or expedieucy of the reizure was evident ia feprarent from the time bestowed ou inguity mto the facts, and it also shows clearly enough how deeply impressed wore ber Ma osty’s mix isters with the paramount importance of keeping tho duties, and therefore the correlauive rights of noutrsis cicar from any new ambiguity.

The actual law of the case was not so ready cut and dry us some might suppose, Prima facie tho probabilities lay gatust tue need, or even the puwer,of seizure. ‘That the shiparighta of a novtral coustry have a right to moke ships for the market of the world; tbat the right does not lapse on the mere opening of a war in which their government has no concern; that the actual know ledge of & practical and particular domand in the market aforesaid no moro destroys their right than their chance of profli—these, wo believe are cox. custons which can be as little guiuanid og they can with regard"to gunpowdor, rifles, or [Sheffold cut’ So ‘ar as the facts of the present case b ve been, not known, but surmived, it might have been conjec tured that Messrs.
