Meilomat a Cease afriskted a conquering Court with apprehension for the essurity of its power, no one acquainted with the real political condition of Spain is in danger of suspecting that the plot of Morrewoue and thaws ever had • broad or solid basis. All the principles with which Carlism has been associated in Spain are defunct, and all the visible institutions by which Carlism was supported have beep destroyed. To suppose the existence of • wide-spread scheme for the restoration of a civil and sacerdotal despotism, attended by all the violence and artifice of which Le;citiruacy constitutes itself the hideous sanction, is to presume the existence of the lost elements of political and ecclesiastical reaction. If we glance at the Spain that existed in 1830, we shall without difficulty understand the causes of the grinding despotism that characterised the intimate union between the Papacy and the State, and the grovelling obedience to priestly craft that marked the conduct of the peasantry. There was then a resident and, as it were, half-feudal and median's! nobility, perpetually imposing extreme laws of servile obedience ; there was then a wealthy secular priesthood, as perpetually incul cating extreme doctrines of intellectual degrada tion ; and there was • still richer organisation of regular ecclesiastics, known only by the ten Aeries which they owned, by the amuse whom they ground down, by the sanctions which they in voked, and by the support which they in turn re ceived. And in spite of the military revolt which brought down on the Liberals of Spain the divine wrath of the Congress of Verona, there was but one occasion on which the army professed • will apart from the behests of the Throne. This system, all these institutions, were the pillars of Carbon ; and, until they were extinguished, it is not sur prising that the Carlist party remained in great force and authority in Spain. But all this, or nearly all this, is gone ; and to measure the extreme possible breadth of • Carlist movement in 1860 we need hut briefly glance at the social and political changes which the Spanish nation has since experienced. It is well known that the political constitutions which have succeeded each other since the death of FERDINAND VII., although they have been occa sionally prominent for the distinctions they have drawn between the relative interests of the Moderado and Progresista parties, have never failed to be ohs racteriaed by a design to exclude the Carlist party from representation in the Cortes; this aim has been as firmly pursued by N•EV A RE, O'DONNELL, and R 11.1.4 &AAA on the one hand, as by &PARTIED and Conan& on the other. The Progreristas have shaped their policy in the sternest opposition to the reactionary interests ; and the Moderados have oscillated between the same policy and an occasional appropriation in the Quaint's interest of such fee elements of reaction as Motrrium.rit might fairly have laid his hands on. Thus while the Progresutaa have consistently pursued prin ciples of liberty, we find the Moderados, in the service of eIIItIATIN A in 1836, actually commenc ing the sequestration of the property of the regular ecclesiastics ; and yet at another time, in 1867, turning round upon their own reforms, and drawing up a concordat with the Papal Court, thereby pressing the few relics of Carlist influence into the service of laisst.i.a and their own party. The policy of Administrations has thus added to the forms of the constitutions has just that have at different time• exiatrd in exhausting Carlin wherever revolutionary influence had nut extuatled. But in the heart of the country we shell find stronger indium= of this change.

IN. litopii4nN THE EXPRESS, THURSDA f If,'PING}, APRIL have been everywhere uncloistared ; their lands have been sold in the auction market; those 1/110 once trembled at their spiritual pretensions, or needed their temporal power, stand in their picot; the peasants have become landowners, and thd monk and abbot lords have became mendicants. The priestly glory of the secular church is neatly in the same predicament with that of the regular. Tith es , glebe, and other territorial endowments have all been commuted for • simple cuito-y-clere tax, which barely leaves the priest the means of livelihood, and takes away all that consideration which was based upon worldly position, ad well as upon a blind mental subjugation which is altogether broken up. If we turn from the church in the provinces to the civil government in the provinces, we find just the same absence of the conditions on which the Carlist power once reposed. It would be unfair to visit on the triumph of the Qcssat's party the evil of an absentee nobility ; and indeed that nobi lity evinced a readiness to abandon their duties in their respective provinces long before the death of FLADINiND brought about the civil war. But there can be no doubt that the almost universal absenteeism of the titled landowner in Spain is a fact that has coincided with the reign of Isaseta.s, and that one of various causes which has brought it about is the dis-favour of the Crown in the bestowal of great offices in the provinces. The nobility of Spain chiefly reside at Madrid, at Paris, at Rome, and in other capitals, those who evince the moderation of keeping to Madrid affecting great patriotism on account of it. Besides all this, the Spanish lord-lieutenant of a county, termed the Gefe Politico°, who presides over the adminis tration of each province, is usually some " bluster " ing democrat," to use • phrase of Lord Deasy's, who has been found inconvenient in the Cortes, and is bribed with office into sycophantic silence. This rapid glance will suffice to show how the pillars of the old monarchy have disappeared. The daily teaching of the influential priest, the magni ficence of the regular orders, the presence and influence of the titled landowner on his estates, the administration of provincial government by men of fixed interests and fixed principles—all this was the embodiment of Carlism, and all this is gone. It was therefore obviously impossible that a Carliat plot could possess itself of a solid basis of action. The tendency is in favour of democracy, not of State and Church tyranny. The plot, such as it is, must have been devised during the Moroooo war, and therefore on the supposition that it would catch a party with whom that war was unpopular. But, in fact, the object of aggrandisement at the expense of the Moors was just what was most in conformity with the tradi tions of the Cachets ; and the plot has followed too closely on the peace to have sprung from die satisfaction with the cessation of the war. With out desiring to incriminate an absentee nobility, we can well believe that the plot has had Spanish partisans beyond the Spanish frontiers, but very few, we suspect, within them LATEST INTELLI(ENCE. .• IFJOANCIC.

THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY. MARSEILLES, Aram 11. The packet arriving here brings news from Na. pies to the 7th inst. The official Giorriak di Napoli, of the 6th inst., confirms the repression of the insurrection at Palermo on the 4th. Letters received add that the rebels attacked the royal troops at 5 o'clock in the morning, then re-formed and shut themselves up in the convent, which they barricaded. A battalion of the 6th Regiment of the Line made a sudden assault upon the insur gents, but were driven back with considerable Ices. The Royal Artillery then opened a breach, and the convent was taken by assault. The insurgents and their arms were captured. Several bands of rebels having risen in the environs in order to create a diversion were beaten and pursued in all directions. The Official Journal does not speak of an insurreaticer in Mes sina, but announces that General Sidearm has placed Palermo in a state of siege, and also adds a telegraphic despatch received on the afternoon of the 6th, which affirms that all the other provinces of I Sicily have been tranquil, and that the inhabitants of Palermo had not taken part in the combat of the 4th. Letters state that on the evening of the 6th an immense crowd, estimated to number 80,000, blocked up the Rue Toledo, at Naples, and raised numerous shouts of " Viva la Constitn 'ion.," before the residence of the Papal nuncio. The streets were quickly cleared by the patrols. TURIN, Amt. 11. According to news from Naples to the 10th, the insurgents, numbering about 10,000 well-armed men, were concentrated in the Sicilian Islands, and had interrupted the canals communicating with Palermo. The troops quartered in that city were attacked every night. The Neapolitan fleet was cruising along the meat. The Opinime publiahre the following telegram, dated Naples, April 10 : _ . . " The insurrection in Sicily appears to be spread ing. The despatch of troops continues. Great agitation prevails at Naples." SPAIN. The Madrid Gaztite of the 7th publishes a list of the persons arrested in connexion with the recent Carina affair ; and the names of Count de Monte molin and his brother Don Fernando do not appear in it ; consequently, the statement that they had been captured must be considered erroneous. A despatch from the military commander of Tortosa says that, on landing, General Ortega was observed to speak, uncovered and with marks of great re spect, to five or six persons in plain clothes ; but that, when his troops turned against him and he g►llopped away, these persons jumped into a small boat, and suddenly disappeared. Ortega, who on the 6th was in custody in the fort of Alcanez, in the neighbourhood of Saragossa, was so ill that he had to be bled twice. It was reported that the Queen had resolved that the Carlist General Olio, whose arrest has been mentioned, should not be shot. Some of the journals express surprise that Marshal O'Donnell should not have returned from Africa, notwithstanding he had been specially sum moned by the Queen, and various important affairs were awaiting his decision. MADRID, WIDMIDAT EVIIIITKO. General Ortega will arrive to-morrow at Tortola, where his trial will take place. Great efforts are being made to capture Count Montemolin and his brother. A successful result is anticipated. Perfect tranquillity prevails. The boundaries of Ceuta have been amicably arranged. The value of the territory ceded to Spain is estimated at 300 millions of reals. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Tacransr. The answer of Austria to the circular note of M. Thouvenel, of the 13th March, on the annexa tion of Savoy and the district of Nice to France, has been sent to Parks. The answer is very similar to the despatch of Russia on the same subject. The Austrian cabinet, like that of Russia, does not raise any objection to the fact of annex ation as long as this annexation is repre sented as being the result of a cession freely con sented to by Piedmont, and not am the effect of an appeal to universal suffrage. As regards the neu trality of Switzerland and the neutralised districts of Chablais and Faucigny, Count Rechberg ex presses a desire that the French government, in accordance with the promises given by M. Thouvenel in his despatches, should maintain the guarantees stipulated by the treaties. SARDINIA. TURIN, TUNIDAT ECK:4INC.

It is a hopeless task to attempt to get at the truth about the evacuation of Italy by the French armies. Nothing has been said for • long while about General de Goyon coming away from Rome, which event was some time back announced as im minent by the Constitutionnel with much solemnity. Of late rumours have been current that the retire ment of Marshal Vaillant's army from Lombardy Was delayed or only to be in part effected ; but the the Parris says, to-night : A Mika ;avoid SMIZIOUDOOS that in oonsequence of recent arrangernsiate with France the division of Generals Ante. mann, Uhrich, and Boarbski are to remain in Lombardy. This sows is wanting in exaotitude. Ulirich's division is afraid, on the march and Bourbati's will commence lie movement on the 12th. Al to Autemarre's division, it is passible that in consequence of arrangements made it may be the last to leave ; but this fact in no way indicates that the evacuation is suspended. The departure of our troops continues, sad the evacuation is subjected to no other con dition than that of the time necessary to effect such a measure. K Prevost Paradol, who I prestuno must have quitted the Debate, signs a leading article in this evening's Preaw. lam sorry to say that he begins his new editorial career by maintaining that the neutrality of Switzerland is in no way affected by the proposed annexation to France of Chablais and Fauciguy. K Ravin, of the Sidcle, feels a necessity laid upon him, as " a citizen and the director of a jour nal read by a million of Frenchmen," to offer the French government a word of advice with regard to Italy. If France countenances a reaction, and thus throws difficulties in the way of the consolida tion of Victor Emmanuers new kingdom, which her arms have helped to form, she will incur a responsibility which she will one day regret. It is against General Lamoriciere's appointment at Rome that the observations of the Sidcle are particularly pointed. It says : If the PonUtica troops sad the Swiss regiments, commanded by • French officer whose conduct we blame, but whose merit we have always admitted, were to give battle to the Realm/nols, the French government, having authorised him to take the command, would never accept • responsibility with which it would ow day be reproached. It is not • general —it is not paid sol diers whom the Pope requires to preserve his authority ; it is • change of policy —a change of institutions ; and to that he must one day or the other consent if he would pre serve a shred of the temporal power so dear to our lords the cardinals. What ought the government to do! Re fuse to General de Immoriciere the authorisation to serve • foreign power ; and leave our troop■ at Rome until all the problems still contained in the Italian question shall be solved. M. Havin's advice comes too late. We learn by telegraph this very day that General de Lamori ciere is actually gazetted to the command of the Pope's army, and there can he no doubt, as I told you from the first, that the Emperor is a consent ing party to the arrangement. The Bourse unproved upon the strength of a rumour that the Swiss question was entirely arranged. The Rente rose 25c. for cash and 30c. for account, closing at 70fr. 150. and 70fr. 20c. Mobil ler rose Sir. 75c. Railways were from lfr. 25c. to 2fr. 50c. higher. The Prase says in its weekly commercial review : The official journal noticed • few days since that there was more business doing in exports ; and it is quite true that many agents for English houses have made purchases of and given orders for goods, which are, by virtue of the commercial treaty, admitted into England duty free. We may particularly instance certain descriptions of gloves, jewellery, bronzes, porcelains, and tissues, consignments of which are now sent off daily to England. Considerable purchases of wins and brandy for foreign consumption have been made in the south, and must have materially contri buted to swell the railway receipta. It is to be regretted that the changes in the tariff could not have been brought into operation without any delay ; the ex- ample of the favourable results produced in England by the immediate execution of the treaty should stimulate our government to take its final decisions with all diligence, for what trade most complains of is that must of the great questions yet remain unsealed. The ironmasters in the Haute Marne are at this moment signing ► petition to the Emperor, praying that their position may be regulated as soon sa possible. The paper manufacturers are getting up a new petition against the exportation of raga. The fine weather of the past week has had • beneficial effect upon the retail trade of Perim ; the noureautie shops, especially, have been doing a good business in summer tissues. Advice. from Mulhouse, Rouen, and Lye= anuounos increased activity among manufacturers, considerable orders having been received both for plain and fancy goods. There is little doing in cereals. The wine trade is active, with an upward tendency. The announce ment in the budget of a tax npua alcohols has produced • great seniation in all the markets of the South. The wool trade, which was stagnant in February and during the greater part of March, has become more active within this fortnight. We bear from Havre that wools are in de mand, more particularly those at La Plata. s piM. Bethmont, the eminent advocate, who has died, has bequeathed 5,000 fr. to the General Arocia iio.l of Physicians of Prance. A Vienna letter of April 7, published in Bullices Corravendosec, says :—" There is much talk here cd an approaching visit of the Emperor of Austria to the Queen of Paglawd. I cannot venture to warrant the truth of this sews, but, at the same time, I would not have you reject it lightly. The cabinet of Vienna is leaving no means untried to draw closer to the cabinet of St. James's, and the latter dew not wens altogether indifferent to the advances made." One or two of the persons implicated in the Oartiet affair are nearly related to the Moatijo family. What is arr and dear to Madrid mart be Indifferent to Paris. A manage wee sent off cm Sunday or Monday last to Madrid, requesting Queen Isabella to spare the lives of the favoured parties. Queen Isabella is said to hare replied, that those who made this request appeared to forget that she was a constitutional sovereign ; that she could not take upon herself to remit, any more than to indict, punishment, without the advice of her responsible minis ters ; and, moreover, that the parties arrested could not be considered as criminals until they were tried and con. cleared by the proper tribunals. lek - h , ITALY. SARDINIA. (nos oua incur. coaassrosmarr.) TURIN, Ann. 8. The scene got up in the Chamber of Deputies by Garibaldi, the day before yesterday, has been already forgotten. Although everybody here ap preciates the noble sentiments which induced the conqueror of Como and Varese to ask leave to put the question as to this sad business of Nice, the great majority of the liberals are agreed that the general had no right to put it, and that Count Cavour acted as a wise minister ought in refusing all explanations till parliament is legally constituted. In spite of this opinion which now generally prevails in Turin, the Thrift:), an oppo sition paper of this city, passes to-day a severe judgment upon the conduct of the Sardinian Premier. This paper, which, rightly or wrongly, is supposed to reflect the opinions of Commendatore Rattazzi, initiate that by a firmer and more dignified policy Nice might have been saved. I am sorry I cannot agree in this opinion, for it appears to me that Louis Napoleon could only be induced to give way on the question of the annexation of Tuscany upon that condition. The question at issue, there fore, is, whether it was better to make the sacrifice of a small principality or to give up one of the finest states of the Italian peninsula. I think nobody can blame Count Cavour for having ac oepted a bargain which on the one hand settled the important question of the annexation of Central ' Italy, and secured the continuance of the French alliance on the other. The news from Sicily, brought to Genoa by the last steamboat from Naples, has produced a great sensation in this country. It is generally expected that the south of Italy will be in a blaze before the month is over. The arrival at Ancona of General Lamoricibre, who has con sented to become the Don Quixote of the papal cause shows that the reactionary party has not dismissed the idea of engaging in some foolish attempt. The Orleanist general, however, may depend upon it that the Italian army:will prove a match for his mercenary legions, and he will find Italy a harder bone for his teeth than Africa was. The Italians are convinced that their future happi ness is at stake, and they will rise as one man in defence of their liberty and independent*. Victor Emmanuel will not draw back in the day of danger, nor will he shrink from his duty, for he knows that the nation will follow him. This morning the Turin Gazette publishes in full the bull of excommunication, which is likely to reach you before my letter, having been published two days ago by the Venice Gazette. You see that our government is at once bolder and more logical than the French government, which goes so far as to rummage K Veuillot's trunks lest by chance there should lurk copies of the excommunication in them. It is, in fact, a document more calculated to do harm to those from whom it emanates than those against whom it is intended. The Italians feel strong in their consciousness of having exer cised a right as well as fulfilled a duty, and can therefore afford to laugh at a rusty old weapon which might possibly have been sharp seven hundred years ago. Such is the impression caused here by this new attempt of the Vatican, not only among laymen but also among a consi derable portion of the clergy, is shown by several dresses as The effect has been much the same even in the Eternal City, for letters from Rome of 4th of April say that the excommunication posted up at Campo di Fiori, at the Cancelleria, and at Monte Citorio, is continually watched in each of the aforesaid places, by day and night, by six gendarmes. In the meantime the Holy Father, to quicken the flagging piety of the faithful, has ordered public prayers and processions to the principal churches, giving secret instructions to the churchwardens to make the gift of a taper, worth two francs, to each member of the con/rater/We which assists at the procession, in order to make it more numerous. Cardinal Antonelli cannot dissemble for all that his distress at the hoped for assistance of the Neapolitan arms having failed him, and at the cer tainty that he will soon be abandoned by the French troops. THE GRAND MIRE OF BADEN AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. The following is the text of the proclamation recently issued by the Grand Duke of Baden : Frederic, by the Grace of God, am At a grave moment, and one which inspires anxious doubts in many minds, I make use of my finest prerogative, and from the bottom of my beast I address words of peace to my dear people. Regrettable differences with the chief pastor of the - catholic church of this country had led me to pave the way for an agreement by direct negotiations with the Holy Bee. In acting thus I was animat i. e . d:z the sincere desireof substituting union for discord, and peace and goodwill for mutual resentments. After long and laborious negotiations a convention was concluded which gave hopes that this object would be attained. But I perceived to my deep mortification that the convention which had just been concluded excited ap prehensions in the minds of a great part of my people, and I could not refuse to take into venous consideration the opinion of those who demanded that the advice of the con stitutional organs should be first taken. The decision of the second chamber of my faithful states gave to these demands an expression which foreboded • fatal struggle between my government and the chambers. The interest of the catholic church, not less than the good of the country, require that such a struggle should be prevented, and that the uncertainty as to legality which would result from such a disagreement be tween the legislative powers should be avoided. It is my firm will that the principle of the independence of the catholic church, in the administration of its affairs, should be fully applied. A law, placed under the protection of the constitution, will guarantee • secure foundation for the rights of the church. It ism that law and in the regu lations which will be subsequently appended to it that the tenor of the concordat will find its legitimate expression. In that manner my government will do justice to the rea sonable claims of the catholic church without swerving from the constitutional path ; and the public law of the oountry, coming out intact front • great trial, will receive • fresh sanction. _ _ A duty which is equally clear obliges me to-day to speak to the church to which I myself belong. While faithful to the principles which ought to govern the rights of the catholic church, I shall e nd eavour to give to the united protestant evangelical church of the country the freest par Ohio development in accordance with ha constitution. I desire that the same principle may bear fruit in other I.ratielleA of the state, in order that all the parte of the whole may he united in a harmony without which mere freedom by law is unproductive of beneficent power. I now exhort the tried patriotic and civic spirit of my people to forget all the differences which have recently been occasioned, in order that the ennead and the tolerance which Christian charity teaches all may prevail between the different churches and their adhervata. Many dangers may threaten our country. Union alone gives strength. Let On resentment remain on account of differences which should be a matter of the past, and confide in a future which will hart no one, since it means to he just to all.

THE MURDERS ON AN AMERICAN OYSTER SLOOP. The capture of the suspected murderer in this bloody tragedy was effected at New York on Saturday, the 24th alt. It will be recollected by our readers that se oyster sloop, the E. A. Johnson, commanded by George Burr, war found abandoned on the morning of the 21st between Sandy Hook and Coney Island Point, with the cabin of the vessel covered with human blood and hair. The particulars of the suspected murderer's arrest are given at great length in the New York papers, and are interesting. About daylight on Wednesday morning a stranger, about 35 years of age—apparently a manor, (hewed in a pea jacket, a grey-coloured pair of pantaloon«. and an old Kos suth hat—acme ashore at Staten Island in a yawl boat, with the intention of taking the ferryboat for New York. The stranger was first observed at Vanderbilt's-landing, wh«re he arrived a few minutes too late for the 6 o'clock Isw. He had a large bag in his hand, which, he said, °untamed his clothing and money. While waiting at the lauding for the 7 o'clock boat he got into conversation with Mr. Ebert, the dock master ' and requested to be directed to some place where he could get some oysters. He was directed the saloon of Mr. Van Pelt, in the neighbourhood, where he drank two glasses of liquor, and ate an oyster stew. He seemed very flush with his money, refusing to take the change that was coming to him, end offering one of ii., waiters in the saloon a piece of gold coin. He expres,i himself sorry at not catching the 6 o'clock boat, as he wm in a great h ,be said, to reach the city. At 7 o'clo k he went on Lcanl the Southfield. where he made the acquaintance of one of the deck hands, and related that he was a shipwrecked sailor. He appeared quite ammonia. tive, sad stated that he was the only survivor of the sloop William Tell, which had been sunk that morning by corn ing into collision with a schooner. The captain, he said, bad been killed outright by the bowsprit striking him in the abdomen, but what became of the rest of the crew he said he did not know. He said he had just time to jump into the yawl boat, with his clothes and money, when the sloop sunk. While relating the story of his misfortune he pre &teed a bag of money, and requested the deck hand to help him to count it over, as he was afraid some one had been cheating him. The money consisted of gold sod silver coin, and, to the best of the deck hand's recollection, the bag om. tallied about 800 dots. --- Before the counting of the money could be concluded the Southfield arrived at the Battery, and the stranger, gather ing up his money, left the boat, with the intention, he said, of seeing if something could not be done towards raising the sloop. From the Battery the police traced the stranger to 129 Cedar-street, where he met his wife and child, the latter about ten rears of age. Here the officers ascer tained that the stranger a name was no other than William John son, the mate of the ill-fated sloop, and a ray of light bright as the sun at once was shed upon the dark and mysterious ease they had under examination. From soros persons re. siding in the house the detectives learned that immediate& after his arrival in the city, Johnson proceeded to a barber's shop and had his face shaved and hair cut, for the purpose, no doubt, of disguising himself ; and that after packing up some trunks he proceeded on bo ard the Stooington boat, and engaged a state-room for himself and family. eeteetives were by this time on his track, and after an unsuccessful search they returned to Providence, fully satisfied that Johnson did not take the Stonington route. They drove about Providence all day, and, from various inquiries, became convinced that he was secreted some where in the city. They at length discovered that he had gone to s boarding-house in a remote part of the city, called India Point. About two o'clock on Saturday morn ing they proceeded to his ludgino, and, having 1112 , rounded the house, knocked the landlady up, and told her they were under the necessity of arresting one of her lodgers for passing counterfeit money, and thereupon • number of the police pushed past the woman and entered the house. Upon entering the room occupied by Johnson, they found the latter in bed, pretending to be asleep. He was perspiring very freely, but aside from that there was nothing unusual in his appearance. Nevins charged him with having parsed counterfeit money upon the hackman, and mid it would be necesesa7 to convey him and his bar gage to the lack-up. Jolonsm denied having passed any bad money, but expressed • williugness to accompany the officers to the gaol, and, dressing himself, announced hie readiness to depart. Upon taking the prisoner to the prison, the officers searched him, and found in his poresession a silver watch, • couple of knives, two canvas bags, and a pocket-book ern. tithing 121 dollars in bills, mostly fives and tens, on the Farmers' and Vitiseas hank of Brooklyn, Long Island. At this juncture the primmer wits informed of the real charge preferred against lrim ; but he took the matter quite coolly, and said he thought the counterfeit mosey complaint was all a dodge, as he was certain he had not passed any spurious coin. lu reference to the charge of murder, the prisoner soul he knew nothing at all about the tragedy on board the Oyster sloop ; that he was never on board the vessel, and was not acquainted with Captain Burr or any of the crew of the ill-fated vesseL He was conveyed on to New York, and, as might be expected, the excitement at the different places ou the route wan mast intense. At the examination of various witnesses before the Commissioners on the 'Nth ult., various articles found on the person of Johnson were identified as having be longed to Captain Burr. It was also proved by one of the witnesses that the prisoner Will a sailor on board the E. A. Johnson on her last voyage from New York. He was no. cordingly committed for examination on the Waluesday following.
