THIS SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY L . AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. The Washingt MI correspondent of the New _I ork orld, in a communication dated the 6th, alludes to a rumour of treachery in high circles as follows "In connexion with. the rumours respecting the leakage of news from Washington to the rebels, it is stated that the daughter of a high official is one of the guilty parties. It is now well understood from the movements of the rebels that they were aware; of the destination of General Burnside's fleet. The story goes that it was talked of in the family of the official alluded to, and by the daughter corn• municated to her lover, who is affiliated with the rebels. The destination of the Burnside expedition has been changed because of the knowledge the rebels acquired of the point at which it was aimed. The young lady left town recently, and has not since returned. Her father, it is understood, will shortly leave for Europe for the benefit of his health. This expedition is now in complete readi ness, and will sail the moment the word is given by the Commander in• Chief. It has been thoroughly inspected : the vessels have been found in good con dition, and the troops eager for the fray. Four or five of our best drilled regiments of the Potomac will accompany the expedition. I apprehend that there will be some disappointment in the public mind when the precise point of its destination is known." There has been a skirmish at Port Royal Ferry, which ended favourably for the Federal forces. A correspondent of the New York _Express gives the following detailed account of the operations : On Tuesday, December 31, four gunboats—the Seneca, Capt. Ammen ; the Ellen, Capt. Budd ; the Pembina, Captain Bankhead; and the Ottawa, Captain Stevens--were ordered to approach Port Royal Ferry, the two former by the way of the Broad River, and the latter by Brickyard Creek. The Seneca was to fire into Boyd's Neck on her way up, and distract attention for a while ; after which, in conjunction with the Ellen, she was to assist in silencing a battery at Seabrook, on the Coosaw, some two or three miles west of Port Royal Ferry. The other two gunboats were to go through the Port Royal River, and cover a landing of Fede ral troops opposite the mouth of Brickyard Creek. General Stevens's brigade—consisting of the Round head Regiment, under Colonel Leisure; the Bth Michigan, Colonel Fenton ; the 50th Pennsylvania, Colonel Crist ; and the 79th New York, Major Morrison commanding —were already at Beaufort, distant about ten miles by land from the Ferry; the 47th New York, Colonel Frazier, and the 48th New York, Colonel Perry, were ordered up from Hilton Head, and the entire force placed under General Stevens's orders. Captain Raymond Roberts (of the Wabash) was the senior naval officer present in the action. The troops were marched from Beaufort on the 31st of December to the mouth of Brickyard Creek, within which had been prepared flats and other boats for the transportation of Gen. Stevens's command. They crossed early on New Year's morning, having accomplished the passage by 8 a.m. They had then some four or five miles to march be fore reaching Port Royal Ferry. The Ottawa and the Pembina were meanwhile delayed, by the state of the tide, at or near the mouth of the creek, one of them getting aground. A delay also occurred in the movements of the troops, owing, it is stated, to a misapprehension by Colonel Fenton of the orders issued to him; this delay, however, was but slight, and occasioned no serious inconvenience. The Seneca, in this time, had performed her portion of the task, fired into Boyd's Neck in an alarming manner, and afterwards, in conjunction with the Ellen, shelled the work at Seabrook, a mile or two to the west of the Ferry. The troops under Gen. Stevens advanced towards the principal battery (at the Ferry) in advance of the gunboats, and on the way a skirmishing took place that still longer impeded them. A force, judged by Gen. Stevens to be about 1,000 strong, was posted in some woods on his right, and the first knowledge he obtained of its existence was by a firing from a light battery. A part (at least half) of the Michigan Bth was de ployed as skirmishers to ascertain more particu larly the position and strength of this battery, and, despite its firing, advanced to within a hundred yards of it, acting with great coolness and courage, and succeeding entirely in discovering the position of the guns, and in drawing a heavy fire from the body of musketry. Having thus accomplished their object, they retired as skirmishers, rapidly, but in complete order. By this time the Ottawa and the Pembina had got up within range of the fieldwork at the Ferry, and opened fire on it ; this was done with such effect that, if any force had remained until then in the battery, it was driven out before our troops arrived, the enemy not attempting to come from under cover of the woods, nor ;manifest ing any (desire to interrupt our further advance (having wounded nine or ten of the Michigan regi ment, including Major Watson seriously, and one man who has since died). The 79th New York was sent forward as skirmishers to enter the fort first, General Stevens, as yet, being unaware of its deser tion. This regiment emulated the behaviour of the Michigan soldiers ; its advance also proved a com plete success for the new system of signalizing. Lieutenant Tafft, of the signal corps, was in charge of this department, and arranged men who carried the signal flags, so that they were able to telegraph constantly to the gunboats, which had now come up in a line with our troops. Capt. Rodgers was in formed exactly what range to give his guns, and was able to do Effective service in coverie g the troops in their advance, shifting his aim as the men proceeded. The firing from the gun boats was urcommonly accurate during the entire engagement. When the 79th Regi ment reached the fort, it was found to be entirely deserted; the guns that had been there were re moved; with the exception of one iron 12-pounder, but platforms for others remained, and had evi dently been recently used. A small force of Fede ralists, which had been appointed to cross at Sea brook, had, in the meanwhile, accomplished its pas sage under cover of the guns of the Seneca and Ellen, and completely demolished the fortification there, which had also been deserted. This body (either an entire regiment, or still smaller force) had then joined the main portion of the command, and at night the whole force was at Port Royal Ferry, completely covered by the guns of the four men of war. The pickets of the two commands were with in 500 yards of each other all night. At about mid night a flog of truce was brought to Gal. Stevens, and a request made that the enemy be allowed to enter within our lines to bury their dead. General Steven s gave them one hour in which to accomplish this Purpose, but when his messenger returned to the flag with his reply the flag and its bearers were missing ; "thing more was heard of them, so of coarse General Stevens's message never reached the enemy. Whether the flag was a ruse or not is un known. In the mornin g the batteries had been de molished, and the insult to the May flower suitably punished ; the troops were removed on to Port Royal Island, the gunboats covering this move ment by a heavy cannonading, which was answered by the rebels. Not a man was lost by our force in the withdrawal, which occupied three hours, and was performed in a manner highly creditable to officers and men. One regiment, the 47th New York, returned to Hilton Head by a transport with out crossing Port Royal Island ; the others pr o . ceeded to march to Beaufort, with the exception of the Roundhead and 55th Pennsylvania, which were left on the other side of the Ferry, to guard against any other offensive movement of the enemy. At the time at which I write, word has reached Hilton Head of tho return of the gun boats, which may possibly be remaining f or a similar purpose. The 48th New Yoik is VOW disembarking at this place, having marched to Beaufort and reached the wharf at Hilton Head since crossing Broad River this mornin g , a distance of ten miles by land, and afterwards of fifteen down the Port Royal River. By this exploit several objects have been accomplished; the men have been able to show themselves well be hayed under fire, a little dash has been made,which infuses vigour into the sprits of the command; the enemy has been made to understand that he cannot with impunity assemble any force in our vicinity ; two batteries have been demolished, and the coni. 7 plete possession of the Broad River has been shown to belong to the Federal forces. So far as has yet been learnt, one man only has been killed and eight or nine wounded ; all of these belongin to the Michigan Bth Regiment. Their names (with the exception of Alajor Watson's) have not yet been ascertained. Four or five rebel bodies ere buried by our men, and one or two of their ended were made prisoners." On the 6th the following discussion took place in the House of Representatives : " Mr. Roscos Conkling (New York), rising to a question of privilege, called attention to the fact that, on the second day of the session, a resolution was adopted with reference to the battle of Ball's Bluff. The resolution proposed no investigation into any future transactions whatever. It simply requested the Secretary of War to inform the house whether any steps had been taken to ascertain who are responsible for the disastrous affair at Bull's Bluff, The resolution was handed to the Adjutant Genera], who submitted it to the Commander-in- Chief. He (Conkling) was unwilling to believe that the Commander-in Chief had read the resolution, because he could not impute to him a design to trifle with the house and return an evasive answer. If he did read it, he certainly misunderstood its purport. He seemed to have received the impres sion that a further inquiry was to be instituted, and that of a very general character; and accord ingly he expressed an opinion to the Adjutant- General, which was reported to the Secretary of War, and by the latter transmitted to the house. The answer to the resolution did not inform the house that steps had been taken to show who was to blame for the Ball's Bluff disaster. The response was evasive. Now, this was a dis regard of the privileges of the house, which ought to receive, and required a prompt notice, unless they consented to a trampling on of their rights. They should watch with jealous eye the right of wholesome inquiry. The inquiry related to a great national calamity, to the most atrocious military murder evEr committed in their history, to the most humiliating triumph of the rebellion—a blunder so gross that every man could see it, and no one had ever dared to deny or defend it. Besides the defeat and the large loss of arms and munitions of war, there was a sacrifice of 930 men. The resolution to which he referred was proposed out of respect to the memory of these men, and in deference to the public propriety and self-respect of the nation. It was to inquire whether the military authorities have taken any steps whatever to ascertain who is responsible for the slaughter of the sons of New York, of Massachusetts, and of Pennsylvania. Gen. Stone, who was at the time in command, is a mem ber of the regular army. Col. Baker was a volun teer. The respective friends of these Generals have raised a question as to the merits of the case involv ing the efficiency of regulars and volunteers. He (Conkling) had no toleration for such a controversy. An inquiry was absolutely necessary. Suppose it should turn out that Gen. Stone was only half-way either in his soldiership or loyalty, was that a rea son why there should not be an investigation ? Was that a reason why he should be released from the responsibility of the disastrous blunder ? The man who was to blame should fall upon his knees and ask pardon. If Col. Baker was responsible, most lamentably had he suffered. If Gen. Stone is respon sible, a greater weight of guilt never rested upon any other man than upon hint. Mr. Conkling, in the course of his remarks, said that the Government was spending 2,000,000 dols. a day, with over 600,000 men in the field. Whenever we have made an advance we have been outnumbered and ignomi niously defeated, and yet the house and the country are denied the right of knowing who are responsible. If we can't have indemnity for the past, in the name of humanity let us have security for the future. Let us know who is responsible for the disgraceful disas ter at Ball's Bluff. Mr. Conkling proceeded graphi cally to describe the military movements in connec tion with the battle of Ball's Bluff, and its repulsive features, saying, among other things, the scene was a hell of fire.' From the commencement there was held out no hope of escape. After the publication of Adjutant-General Thomas's report relative to Gen. Fremont, certainly no publication of anything connected with the army should be suppressed. We should know - whether the commander-in-chief had taken the pains to inquire who was responsible for the disaster at Ball's Bluff, and we should make the inquiry with the view of obtaining an answer. Mr. Conkling was very pointed and severe in his com ments. He offered a preamble reciting the resolu tion heretofore adopted, and the response, conclud ing with a resolution that the answer to it is nei ther responsive nor satisfactory to the house and that the Secretary of Warbe directed to return a further answer. " Mr. Richardson (Illinois) inquired whether this was a question of privilege. " The Speaker submitted the question to the house, which decided that it was. " Mr. Richardson, in opposing the resolution, said this was not a matter of proper inquiry here. If there was onepoint more prominent than another on which the country was agreed, it was that those who fought and fell with Gen. Baker displayed as much courage and gallantry as had ever been dis played on this continent. But these things ought not to be lugged in here, Suppose anybody living is found to be in fault, what will you do with him? Discuss him in town meetings ? Is that the way you conduct the war? We must trust something to the proper departments of the Government. The men who have committed blunders and acted from errors of judgment will not hereafter be intrusted with important commands. If dead we should cast no obloquy on their ashes or disgrace their memory. The time had come when there should be a move ment. The troops ought to be drilled and prepared with this view. Gentlemen of the army, somehow or another, knew quite as much about military af fairs as any members of this house. The house should do nothin g below its dignity. This was not the proper place to investigate battles. He was opposed to the whole resolution. It was a subject with which they had nothing to do, and the sooner they stopped the proceedings, as now proposed, the better for the country. - "Mr. Edmonds (New Hampshire) did not see in what Mr. Conkling had said any implied censure on the General-in- Chief. If the latter supposed it would be detrimental to the public iiterests to answer the resolution, it was proper for him to say so. He re gretted that their existed a disposition here to de precate the position of the General-in-Chief. For himself, he felt we must place in him the most im plicit confidence, if we would come out of this con flict with honour. General M•Clellan was charged with an immense responsibility, and surrounded by so much treachery he could scarcely whisper his plans. We should strengthen his hands and cheer his heart in view of these facts. "Mr. Crittenden (Kentucky) contended that the House had no power under the Constitution to in quire into matters purely military. The army is under the command of the President, who is respon sible for its operations. To interfere with this, there fore, would be an attempt to extend our civil juris diction. Even if we had the right to make such an inquiry, did not public policy forbid it ? Could war be successfully conducted on such a principle ? The gentleman from New York (Conkling) had given an animated picture of the scenes of the battle, and spoke of the killed, wounded, and dying. The gentleman had given a clear description of the battle for the purpose of showing that there was a want of skill in its management. However our feelings may be aroused or affected, let us be careful not to allow such feelings to lead us into improper measures. If there was a want of skill and fidelity, what was the remedy ? Was it to be exercised by the civil juris diction and power ? If faults had been committed, they were to be examined into and punished by the military tribunals. By pursuing the course now proposed, we take the subject out of the hands of those supposed to be incompetent. Was this wise? Such an inquiry now would lead to future similar embarrassments. The effect would be to disavow our entire army. He believed the whole country had confidence in General M.Clellan. We had better weaken our army than weaken confidence in the General-in-Chief. An army of hares led by a lion is more to be dreaded than an army of lions led by a hare. "Mr, Conkling further explained the object and purpose of his resolution, replying to Mr. Crit tenden. " Mr. Vallandigham (Ohio) said that if the ori ginal resolution, as provided for by the rules of the House, adopted 40 years ago, and in better times, had directed the Secretary of War to report the in formation required, he would have voted for the solution now pending. But it expressly left it to the Secretary to say whether the public interests justified furnishing the matter called for or not; and it was now too late to object that he had exer cised the discretion left to him. Otherwise he (Vallandigham) would have voted for the resolution, as he was one of those who believed in the right of Congress to enforce the responsibility upon all the heads of departments. He thought the power ought never to be surrendered, and would at all times maintain the subordination of the military to the civil authority. The British Parliament had exercised the right of inquiry into the conduct of the Crimean war. But here the Secretary of War had only exercised a discretion allowed him by the House, and it was now too late to com plain of it. " Mr. Lovejoy (Illinois) entered his protest against the principle enunciated by the gentleman from Kentucky, having always believed the military should be subordinate to the civil power. The re gular military officers are more in the way of an advance than any other class. We are waiting in the fruitless hope that the rebellion will put itself down. The idea is if we don't hurt anybody the rebels will return to their allegiance. The fear in which we stand of injuring the twin relic of barbarism paralyses the whole army. The reason why we are not successful is that we stand before an incensed God. We are not true to the principles of justice and truth, and those of human equality— namely, Liberty throughout the land and to all the inhabitants thereof.' "Mr. Wickliffe (Kentucky) called Mr. Lovejoy's attention t© the resolution passed by the House in February last, declaring that neither the Federal Government nor the people of the North have the right or purpose to interfere with or legislate on the subject of slavery in the South. This was voted for by Owen Lovejoy ? Are you the man ? (Great laughter.) " Mr. Lovejoy responded—' I am the man,' and continuing his remarks, he said he believed the peo ple were determined to carry on the war in such a way as to put down the rebellion in the speediest manner. He had no doubt that the Government will gracefully yield to the popular sentiment. He repeated, we have the right in time of peace to in terfere with slavery in the States. When that re solution was passed for which he voted all the States were loyal, and had not broken out in rebellion. " Mr. Richardson—Had not the Star of the West been fired into ? (Voices on the Republican side, ' No, no.') " Mr. Lovejoy, resuming, asked Mr. Wickliffe whether he preferred the perpetuation of slavery rather than the Union ? " Mr. Wickliffe replied that he was for preserving the Union under the Constitution, regarding the obligations imposed on every citizen, state, or sec tion. He was not for violating the Constitution when it was not essential to the safety of the Union. He would preserve the institution of slavery under the Constitution, by the principle declared by the House and voted for by Mr. Lovejoy and other re presentatives, and also declared in the inaugural address of the President and in the latter's two messages. If these principles were carried out he had no fears for the Union and the institution of slavery. " Mr. Lovejoy asked, if the ship must be saved by the throwing overboard of a portion of the crew, which would the gentleman prefer ? " Mr. Wickliffe responded—l would prefer throw ing the abolitionists overboard. " Mr, Lovejoy said, that was tantamount to say ing the gentleman preferred the Union going over board rather than slavery, As for himself, he was for preserving the Union and Constitution, with the great object for which it was intended —namely, with freedom. He demanded in the name of God and justice that slavery shall not stand in the way of our success and triumph, In illus tration of his remarks he caused to be read the 7th chapter of the Book of Joshua, showing that the absence of prosperity and success was owing to what was designated the accursed thing. "Mr. Mallory understood Mr. Lovejoy to say, so heavily is slavery weighing upon our army as to render it impossible to achieve victories until slavery is removed out of the way. He had sup posed that if slavery was a curse the responsibility of the rebellion would rest on the South, and that the face of the Almighty would be turned against the South, if the theory of the gentleman was correct. Presuming he knew the feeling in Ken tucky, if we considered slavery standing in the way of the Constitution, we would not hesitate to wipe out slavery. (Applause.) But we cannot regard slavery as incompatible with the liberty established by our forefathers. We want to preserve the Union with all the rights to all sections conferred by the Constitution. He asked whether the gentleman would destroy the Constitution to get rid of slavery ? "Mr. Lovejoy remarked that he would not. He only declared that slavery must be destroyed rather than the Constitution and Union. " Mr. Dunn (Indiana), as Mr. Lovejoy had quoted Joshua, referred the gentleman to the parable of the wheat and tares. The Saviour did not recommend the tares to be drawn out by the roots with the wheat, but to wait patiently to the last day. The gentleman from Illinois proposed radical measures instead of waiting for time to remedy the evil. He would destroy the wheat and tares at the same time in his mad efforts to carry out his schemes. Let the gentleman conceal his purpose as he may. If it had been proclaimed at the commencement of this war that the object was to overthrow slavery, instead of having 600,000 men there would be only a small band of John Browns at the heels of the gentleman. He thanked God that the gentleman was not likely to be a mem ber of the Cabinet. " Mr. Lovejoy—That's not so certain, (Laughter. " Mr. Dunn, resuming, said that he believed that by the war slavery had received its death-blow. He hoped this was so. "Mr. Lovejoy did not deny that he wanted to see slavery crushed and gi ound to powder; but his ar gument was that slavery should not stand in the way of success to our army and the preservation of the Constitution and Union. He was not, as charged, in favour of any such schemes. He never voted for any of them. He would tell the gentleman that these 600,000 soldiers would not fight the battles of slavery. "Mr. Dunn—l did not say .o. " Mr. Lovejoy—l suppose the gentleman meant that, conceal it as he will. (Laughter.) " Mr. Stevens (Pennsylvania) said if they were to believe in the horrible doctrine of Mr. Crittenden, it was nothing less than this—viz., that the house dare not inquire into the manner in which the war is conducted, and whether there are many traitors or not. Had it come to this, that the house was a mere registrar of executive edicts, and was only to vote men and money ? He protested against such a doctrine, it having no foundation in the Constitu tion. It appeared that the Border States would rather see the Constitution and Union perish than see slavery perish. We had just given 20,000 man to Kentucky to support slavery, should the alterna tive as to the destruction of the Union or slavery be preserved. " Mr. Dunn said he did not exalt slavery above the Constitution. He would make no sacrifice of the Constitution to preserve slavery. He regarded the preservation of the Union and perpetuation of our present form of government as of far more im portance to him, in his day, and to those who are to come after him, than the preservation of slavery. But he did not believe this Government could be perpetuated by declaring the emancipation of slavery as its object. If so, the old Union is for ever gone. We may, however, have a Union of the free States, which may, in time, throw its shadow over the continent; but as to restoring the Union as it w as, that would be impossible. He was for main taining the authority of this Government. If slavery stands in the way of the peace and pros perity of the country, slavery must go out of the way. wotild,' he remarked, strike interest that opposes the good•of the country. the confiscation of the slaves of disloyal enemies is necessary, let it be done.' " Mr. Blair (Mobile) moved that the whole sub ject be laid on the table. " Not agreed to; ayes 57, noes 77. " Mr. Richardson offered an amendment to Mr. Conkling's resolution that the Secretary of War also report to the House, if compatible with the public interests, who is responsible for the defeat at Wilson's Creek, near Springfield and Lezington. " Disagreed to; 49 against 81. Mr. Conkling's resolution was ad)pted ; 79 against 64." The Mayor of New York, in bis message to the Town Council, remarks : " The fortifications of the harbour me provided by the general Government, and are Entended to secure the city against foreign aggression. They are projected on a scale which will render them, when completed and aided by floating batteries, fully adequate to the end designed. At present, however, they are in such an unfinished state that it is to be feared that a fleet of hostile steamers might succeed in passing them and haling the city at its mercy. This should not be. II the present critical condition of our foreign relations, with the British Government giving repeated eNidence of un friendliness, the security of the city demands better safeguards. The general Government should be asked to hasten the completion of the forts, and to arm them with the most approved modern guns of heavy calibre. In addition to this, it seems to me it would be a measure of wise forecast to devise a plan for obstructing the channel temporarily by means of rafts, or other barriers, to be anchored at the Narrows, and to have thematerials in a state of readiness for immediate use in case the necessity should arise. This could be done at an expense of a few thousand dollars, and it might prove the means of saving the city from seizure by a foreign enemy. The paramount interest of this city is its commerce. It is to that it owes its imperial proportions and its wealth. It behoves us, therefore, to guard with jealous watchfulness against every encroachment on the harbour, and against all unnecessary burdens on the trade and commerce of the city. We should provide every needful security for the entrance and exit of shipping, and for their accommodation while discharging and loading; and we should do what ever else may be necessary for facilitating the pur chase, sale, and delivery of goods." A letter from Bolivia thus describes a terrible tragedy. " Another bloody drama has been enacted at La Pax. I wrote you in my last that Gen. Fernandez, one of President Acha's Ministers, was generally charged by the people for being responsible for the massacre, ordered by Gen. Yanez, of the 23d Octo ber, in which 40 persons of note, including ex-Pre sident Cordova, fell, besides a large number of Cholos; that Fernand ez ' s mot i ve i n this massacre was, first, to clear th e coast o f a goo d many influen tial men who might stand in his way, then to over throw the Government of Acha and stop into his shoes. Fernandez was not long in verifying this estimate of his plans. In conjunction with Morales he pronounced against Acha in the South, while Col. Babza, who commanded in La Paz, was to pro nounce against him in that city, Acha being absent at Osuru. Babza and several other officers, on de mand of the people, had previously been dismissed by President Acha on account of their complicity in the Yanez massacre, and Yanez himself had been ordered to be tried. So the disaffected officers hav ing joined Babza, at half-past 4 o'clock, on the morning of the 23d November, battalion No. 3, com manded by Babza, attacked battalion No. 2 in the streets. The fight was furious, and lasted nearly four hours, when Babza was wounded and defeated, with the loss of a great many men, and sought re fuge in the house of Mr. Carter, the United States Minister. Yanez in the meantime had barricaded himself in the palace, and at the head of 40 men re solved to defend himself against the populace, who were shouting for his head. The palace was assaulted with fury. Many shots were exchanged, until can non were dragged and pointed against the gates. Despair having seized on Yanez he seated himself in the corridor, and ordered his soldiers to be tran quil. Then bars of iron were brought against the door by some, while others from f neighbouring roofs fired at intervals through the windows, whence it was; thought that lie might try to escape. At last the doors were forced, and Yanez, armed, escaped from the palace to the roof of the contiguous police building. A shout of Yanez !' announced that he was seen by the populace, when two shots were fired at him, and he fell, from a height of nea rly 20 yards, to the roof of the printing-office. Thence he was dragged to the Plaza in the midst of thousands of people. Placing him before the door of the Loretto, in which he had ordered the massacre of ex-Presi dent Cordova, the crowd forced him to kiss the stone steps, yet red with the blood of Cordova. Then he was struck at by all who got near him, even women taking part in the vengeance. After the body had lain a time exposed in the streets, it was placed in a cart, and followed by a vast crowd to the cemetery, amid the laughs, the jeers, and the curses of thousands. Then Leopoldo Davila, his lieutenant, who carsed the mourning women who came to the Loretto to seek for murdered husbands and fathers a month before, was seized, brought to the public Plaza, and torn to pieces, a young Indian woman concluding the shocking performance by punching out his eyes with a pointed sti':k. Lieut.- Col. Shanchez was killed in the coach-house of the palace. Many others fell during the moruing, in cluding 50 Cholos killed and 150 wounded. In the midst of the excitement one of the prisons was broken open, and 150 criminals increased the terror of the people by the clanking of their chains through the streets. But, wonderful to relate, no robberies or outrages were committed by the people after they had sated their vengeance on the assas sins of October ; but the 10,000 Cholos quietly re tired to their houses, and the city was as still as it was before the outbreak. At the last accounts Pre sident Acha had returned to La Paz and resumed his authority. The military command was iu the hands of General Perez, who had the entire con fidence of the people. A force had been sent against Fernandez and Morales, who were in the neighbourhood of Potosi or Sucre." The requisite balance to complete' the sum of the dividend and sinking fund of the Turkish Loan of 1858, payable on the Ist March, is now in the hands of the Bank of England. THE PUBLIC EXPENDITURE.—From 1833 to 1837 the total public expenditure was £226,791,817, of which £145,339,025 was required for the payment of interest on the National Debt, leaving only £81,452,792 for the pay ment of army, navy, and all other services, which, under the form of administration commenced by the Duke of Wellington (a tolerably good judge of such matters), was then found to be sufficient for all purposes. From 1857 to 1861 the total public expenditure was £354,128,479, of which £140,026,032 was required for the payment of interest on the National Debt, so that the enormous sum of £214,102,447 was absorbed in the payment of army, navy, and civil services, instead of £81,452,792. This is an ad vance of upwards of 260 per cent, and makes so unfavour able a contrast, that if the subject were fairly brought under public notice, some attempt would surely 113 made at retrenchment. --Honey Market Review. , A MATRIMONIAL ADVERTISEMENT. —The Niagara Mail publishes the following as original, in the shape of a matrimonial advertisement sent to that journal :—" I am a young lady of twenty rezindin in the county of Lincoln I have bright eyes dark hair My cheeks are like full blown roses I am tall have a good disposition am very fond of Music heav a coma etent knowledge of household affairs I am desirous of giving My hand heart and Fortune for better for worse, No young gentleman need reply to this under twenty-eight or over thirty-five He must be tall have pretty eyes and haire Faire skin and rosy Cheeks Not known two ware a little beaird on his chin like a Goat nor like Persian khan.

JARY 21, 1862. T.HE WINDHAM CASE. The adjourned inquiry into the state of mind of Mr. W. F. Windham, of Felbrigg-hall, Norfulk, was resumed yesterday in the Westminster Ses sions-house, before Mr. Warren, Q.C., one of the Masters in Lunacy, and a special jury. Dr. Sutherland, examined by Mr. Milward—l have devoted my attention to cases of insanity for 22 years, and have written various works on diseases of the brain. On November 6, 1861, I was applied to by Dr. Neale to examine Mr. Windham. I examined Mr. Windham or. the 12th of the same month. The interview took place in my house in Richmond-terrace, Whitehall, I conversed with Mr. Windham the whole time. He told me that he came of age in August last, and that he married Agnes Willoughby on the 30th of the same month. He stated that General Windham wished to make out that he was insane because he had married her. The General did not wish him to marry, as he was next heir to the estate, and had broken off an en gagement with a young lady of Norwich to whom he was much attached. If the General had allowed him to marry her this would not have happened. Ho stated the amount of his property to be £3,000 a year, oat of which he had to give his mother £1,500 a year. He told me that he had settled £BOO a year on his wife, and £1,500 a year when he succeeded to,ithe Hanworth estates in 1869. I asked him why he was not to succeed before that year, and he replied that there was a mortgage on the estate, which would not be paid off till 1869, and that his father borrowed the money from Mr. Gurney. He told me that he had given his wife £B,OOO-worth of jewelry and £6,000 afterwards, because he communicated to her a particular di sease. I asked him how he came to do that. He replied that he had consulted a surgeon, Dr.Whid borne, who told him he was safe and might marry. He told me that he had charged his estate with about £1,500 to pay the annuity. I have heard all the evidence which has been given in court. I think Mr. Windham is of sound mind. There are no symptoms of congenital imbecility or of idiotcy. Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers—There is a difference between imbecility and idiotcy. In idiotcy there is a want of development of the mental and moral powers; in imbecility there is only a partial development. Drawing the line between sound ness and unsoundness of mind in cases of imbecility is one of the most difficult questions of medical science, Re-examined—Mr.Windham has a larger circum ference of tt.e head than the average. There is no incoherency in his conversation. H, is rather below the average in point of intellect, but he does not at all approach the line where imbecility begins. By the Master—l do not think a case of lunacy should be brought into Court unless it involves either delusion, incoherency, or fatuity. Imbeciles are capable sometimes of a certain degree of cun ning, but they have not mind enough to deceive a man of ordinary shrewdness. Lunatics are far more cunning than imbeciles. No amount of eccentricity will evidence insanity unless it is accompanied by some unmistakeable proof of unsoundness. By the jury—l have heard the letters read to-day. I never knew a person of unsound mind who would have been capable of writing such letters. Dr. Conolly, examined by Mr. Karslake—l have had three interviews with Mr. Windham for the purpose of testing the state of his mind. They took place on the 6th, the 12th, and 13th of Dec., 1861, At the first interview there was nobody present ex cept Mr. Windham and myself. I was surprised by his manner, in which there was not the slightest peculiarity. He was not in the least embarrassed, but was perfectly cheerful, frank, and gentlemanly. I asked him whether ho was not rather tired of being continually examined by medical men. He answered good-hnmouredly that it was some what fatiguing, but that he was fully aware of the necessity of it, inasmuch as his family wanted to make him out insane and incapable of managing his affairs. I then asked him upon what grounds he was accused of being of unsound mind. He replied by enumerating the various circumstances which have been so frequently mentioned here —his having lived rather fast and spent a good deal of money and having made an imprudent marriage. I asked him whatwerehis general habits of life. He told ,me that he had sometimes drunk more wine than 'as good for him, but that he was not in the habit t f drinking to excess; that he was not fond of gambling, and that he had never com mitted any acts of violence which could be taken as indications of insanity. He acknowledged that his marriage was an injudicious step. Throughout the whole conversation he talked rationally and sensibly, and did not utter a single expression indicative of insanity. I think it isu, great mistake in such cases to put minute and special questions, and in my inter views with Mr. Windham I conversed with him as I would with any other gentleman. He appeared to me to be of a somewhat hasty and impulsive character. I did not imagine that he was a very intellectual man, but a man accustomed to rough and active exercise, such as the driving of railway engines. I did not observe the slightest trace of any delusion, cr the least confusion upon any subject whatever ; in fact, if I had not been informed of the charges made against him I should not have dreamt that there was anything the matter with him. He expressed a natural desire not to be de prived of his property or pronounced a lunatic and i unfit to take care of himself. He seemed perfectly aware that he had not managed his property pru dently, and told me that he had " dipped" his estate rather deeply. When I saw him the second time he had just come from a long interview with Dr. Mayo and Dr. Winslow, and appeared to be rather fatigued. He gave me a good-humoured account of the examination he had undergone, and said that one of the doctors had put a series of questions to him from a paper, which, judging from its appear ance, he thought must have been drawn up by a lawyer. After telling me about the letter which he had written to Dr. Mayo at the close of the examination—and which, by the way, I thought a very severe test—he said he was anxious to get away to the shooting, but he saw the ne cessity of remaining in town, and was ready to submit with all due deference and complacency to the examination of medical men. He did not utter one foolish word or one irritable expression, nor did he show the least embarrassment or desire in any way to make an impression. He was perfectly natural, simply himself, nothing more. I saw him again the following day. He admitted that the placard was a foolish thing, said it was written and si4ned for him by Itaberts, and told me he had tried to stop its circulation. I spoke to him about the jewelry. He said he had been rather extrava gant in that particular, and had given his wife a good deal of jewelry as compensation for an injury he had done her. He told me that he had just come from Dr. Mayo and Dr. Winslow, and that he was to undergo another examination the following day. He spoke with much good humour, but seemed to think that he was getting rather too much of the doctors. I told him that Ihad come from Hanwell that morning ; that the train was full of Eton boys, and that I was surprised to see a great number of 1 women of the town waiting for them at the station. " Yes," he said, " it is always so ; and those can only avoid them who, having to go home with the down trains, do not require to leave the station, but have merely to pass from one side to the other." That appeared to me a very sensible observation. I believe he is of perfectly sound mind. No medical man could sign a certificate of insanity in his case, and no keeper of an asylum would think of taking him as an inmate. There was no incoherency in his statements to me. I found nothing inconsequential in his ideas; literally and truly, I saw not a single indication of unsoundness of mind. A tnentia is an obsolete term, but when it was used it meant ex treme imbecility. Mr. Windham is assuredly not in an imbecile state. Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers—ldiots do write sensible letters, but not frequently, and they can be taught different avocations ; but they have all generally a marked defect in their personal ap pearance, arising from an imperfect physical deve lopment. Slavering is seldom seen unconnected with mental weakness. Re-examined—l have heard the letters read this morning. I never knew an imbecile who could have written such letters. Idiots never attempt to get rid of the habit of slavering, By the jury—l believe that if Mr. Windham had one good, kind, virtuous friend, he would get through the world very well. His mind is not of a superior order, and his misfortune has been since childhood to have been surrounded by improper persons. He has the capacity to manage his affairs, but that is a dif ferent thing from the will to do so. . . By the Master—l do not know a case in which a person is rightfully confined in a private asylum whose unsoundness of mind could not be recognised by a non-medical man. An originally low degree of mental power is capable of great improvement by education. A taste for bad company is perfectly compatible with soundness of mind. The present is a most instructive case, as showing the ill effects of improper treatment and neglect in youth. It is im possible to judge of Mr. Windham correctly without knowing how he was brought up and to what in fluences he was exposed. _ _ Dr. Ba,bington was called, at his own request, to state that he was not the family physician of Agnes Willoughby. Mr. Bowen May, recalled and examined by Mr. Chambers—The documents I prepared for Mr. Windham were his marriage settlement, the disen tailing deed, and subsequently his will. I took down the will to Felbrigg Hall. He executed it in my presence, but he has since destroyed it, in conse quence, as I infer, of the misconduct of his wife. I have noted down the contents of the will, as fol lows To the wife for life, with remainder to children; remainder again to his mother for life ; remainder over to his sister-in-law ; the one who married first,l with consent of guardians, to take the name and arms of Windham." There were some trifling legacies. The executors, I think, were the trustees under the marriage settlement—Dr. Whidborne and Mr. Roberts. Mr. Windham told me he had destroyed the will about the time when the application was made to the Lords Justices for a commission of lunacy sgainst him. I had delivered up the will to him a few days before, having declined to act as his solicitor. He gave me no reason for the de struction of the will, but I inferred that it was in consequence of Mrs. Windham having left him. I told him that he had done perfectly right. The inquiry was then adjourned till to-day, when the evidence for Mr. Windham will be con cluded, and Mr. Karslake will address the jury. It was incidentally stated yesterday that Mr. Roberts whose name has so often been mentioned, has commenced proceedings against Mr. Field, one of the solicitors for the pet tioners, for words spoken during the course of these proceedings. LAW IN iELLIG EN CE.—Jan. 20. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Justice Erie, and Justices Williams, Willes, and Keating.) - ----------- READS V. CONQUEST.-DRAAMTIC COPYRIGHT. The plaintiff in this case had composed a drama called " Gold," and afterwards published the novel " Never too Late to Mend," which was founded upon the drama. The defendant's son subsequently dramatised the novel, and his drama was performed at the Grecian Saloon. The question now raised was whether this performance was any infringement of the plaintiff's stage right in " Gold." The Lord Chief Justice, in giving judgment, said that the plaintiff sued for an alleged infringement of his stage copyright in " Gold," by reason of the defendant representing the drama written by his son called "Never too Late to Mend," and the defendant was guilty of the infringement complained of unless the facts alleged constituted a defence, for many parts of the two dramas were the same, and the statute said that any person who should repre sent the dramatic production of another person, or any part thereof, should be liable to the penalty of 40s. a night. The novel was in substance the drama " Gold," and the defendant's son took many of the characters and incidents, and much of the language of the novel, and the consequence was that man parts of the drama "Never too Late to Mend" were the same as corresponding parts of the drama " Gold," but the defendant's son wrote his drama from the novel without baying seen or known of " Gold." The defendant contended that under these circumstances his son was the author of the drama " Never too Late to Mend," within the meaning of the 4th William IV., cap. 51, and if he was the author, it followed that there was no violation of the plaintiff's right. The court had already decided in this case that the performing the drama was no infringement of the plaintiff's copyright in his novel, and the defendant now contended that there was no in fringement of the stage right in "Gold." In the opinion of the court this defense failed upon the ground that the defendant's son was not the author of those parts of his drama which he had copied direct from the novel, and so indirectly from " Gold." The defendant's son was indeed the author of some parte of his drama which he had not copied from the novel, but then what was complained of was that the other parts of his drama amounted to an infringement. Judgment for the plaintiff. TILE FORGERY UPON 7IIE IMPERIAL • BANK OF RUSSIA. The three Polish Jews, Wolf Horwitz, Chloin Reichberg, and Abraham Josephson, who h -ye been in custody for several days upon the charge of for ging 10 rouble notes of the Imperial Bank of Russia, and also with having feloniously in their possession engraved plates calculated to fabricate instruments of the same description, were yesterday brought be fore the Lord Mayor at the Mansion House for fur- ther examination upon those charges. Mr. Sleigh again appeared to conduct the prose cution, instructed by Mr. Peechey, of the firm of Oliveron. Lavie, and Peechey, on behalf of the Russian Government. Mr. M'Donnell, barrister, appeared for Horwitz and Reichberg ; and Mr, Hope, a solicitor, appeared for Josephson. Mr. Knapp, the Russian Vice-Consul, was atso present ; and Mr. Hamilton, inspector of the City detective police, was also in court during the proceedings, Mr. Sleigh, addressing his lordship, said that he was aware that upon the former examination of the prisoners evidence was given by Scott and Brett, the detective officers, which went to show that the prisoners at the bar were in possession of a number of forged 10 rouble notes of the Bank of Russia, and also plates and presses and other apparatus calculated to enable them to fabricate forged notes of the same description. He had now to inform his lordship that since the prisoners ' have been in custody, through the exertions of the officers he had mentioned, and who, he felt bound to say, were entitled to great praise for the skill and ingenuity they had exhibited in this matter, some very extraordinary discoveries had been made and the effair really began to assume in some re spects the character of a romance. The nature of these discoveries he was prepared to lay before the Court, but he might state that one of them vt as that the officers had found in the possession of a person named Sonotowski, a piece of what appeared to be gutta percha, and upon this being probed with a knife it was found to conceal a piece of copper upon which there was a beautifully engraved por tion of a Russian bank note. He should be able to show that the prisoner Reichberg gave this piece of gutta percha in the state in which it was found to the person whose name he had mentioned, and he handed it to the officer, Scott, and told him from whem he had received it. (The gutta percha and the plate were here produced, and shown to the Lord Mayor, and the place of concealment had evi dently been most ingeniously contrived.) Mr. Sleigh then proceeded to explain that the plate so con cealed contained the whole of the letter press por tion of the back of a ten-rouble note, and it was quite complete with the exception of the Russian eagle and the border, means for providing both of which additions, it would be remembered, wer e proved to have been in the possession of the pri soners. In addition to this discovery, another of a very important character had also been made under very singular circumstances. It app Red that the prisoner Horwitz had been in the habit of visiting one of his countrymen, named Kotowski, and the officers went to the house of this person and obtained possession of a picture, a representa tion of Garibaldi, and at the back of this picture, between the woodwork and the paper, they found no less than sixty-five forged ten rouble notes, that had apparently been struck off from the plates found in the possession of the prisoners. The learned counsel then stated that since he had been in court a telegram had been handed to him informing him that two men had been taken into custody by Brett, at Birmingham, on suspicion of being concerned with the prisoners in the commission of this serious offence, and tt.at they had just been remitted to his charge by the Birmingham magistrates, to be conveyed to London, and they would probably be brought to this court on the following day; and he said, that as it would be necessary to go into the whole of the evider cs in the presence of those prisoners, he suggested that it would probably be a saving of the public tiese if the examination of the witnesses who were now in OINOMMOZ attendance was postponed until the pri . soners he alluded to were before the Court. The Lord Mayor said that it ‘cas taaloubtedly necessary that the evidence r,hould be takeli in the presence of all the accused parties. It appeared to him that the course suggested by the learned coun sel was the one best calculated to forward the ad ministration of justice. He supposed the lega) gen tlemen who attended on behalf of the prisoners would not offer any objection to this course be.cmg taken. Mr. M‘Dennell intimated that he should not do so, and Mr. Hope also said that he did not think he should be justified in opposing a remand of his client under the circumstances. Mr. Sleigh said that perhaps it would be advis able to take a little additional evidence which only related to the prisoners now before the Court, as the: witnesses were in attendance. George Scott, the detective officer, was then sworn, and he said that, from information he re ceived, !te went on Monday morning last to the office of a person named Sonotowski, in Lower Thames-street, and after having some converse.- tion with him, aizd telling him he was an officer, they went together to a house in Mitre-square, Ald gate, where Sonotowski resided, and he there gave him the piece of gutta percha that had been pro duced. Witness was aware that the prisoner Reich berg had been in the habit of going to the office in Lower Thames-street, and that he had sent a letter copying press there a short time before. The piece of gutta percha was subsequently probed with a knife and warmed at the fire, and this led to the disco very that the engraved plate that had been produced was concealed within it. On Wednesday morning, in consequence of l'urtber information he received, witness went to No, 7, Somerset-street, Aldgate, where he found a person named Kotowski, and from what this person I - old him he was i nduced to take down a picture, which he carefully examined, and upon taking out the Wooden back he found con cealed between that and the vrint itself 65 impres sions of ten-rouble Russian ban.,l{-notes, the whole of which he now produced, an d which, he believed, were forged. The witness then produced the picture in which the discovery was made. It was a full-length likeness of Garibaldi. He also produced the forged notes. Abraham Sonotowski was then sworn. The wit ness, who is a Russian Jew, gave his evidence in very imperfect English. He said—l live at No. 3, Mitre-square, Aldgate, and I have a pl9ce of busi ness at No. 65, Lower Thames-street. My business is that of an agent for the sale of East India goods on commission. I know the prisoner Reichberg. I first met him at Odessa, about four years , ago. He was a merchant. He first came to me at my office in Thames-street about twelve months ago. A short time back he brought to my office the letter copying machine that has been spoken about by the officer. He wanted me to allow him £5 for it, but I would not do so, and he then told me that I might keep it until he paid me some money he owed me,. He owed me £lO, and he wished me to take the press in part payment. Mr. Sleigh to the witness—Yon have seen the piece of gutta percha that has been produced by the officer, and which you gave to him. Just tell us how that came into your possession Witness—That was given to me by the prisoner Reichberg, a long time ago. Mr. Sleigh— What do you mean by a long time— two or three years? Witness—Oh no, about two or three months. Mr. Sleigh—How did he come to give it to you? Witness—He gave it to me as a sample, and I was to try and dispose of the article for him. He knew that I dealt in such things, and I understood that he meant me to use the piece he gave me as to sample. Mr. Sleigh—You did not, of course, know any thing about what was inside it F Witness—Oh, no, certainly not. He added that he understood from the prisoner that he was to keep the piece of gutta percha until he asked him for it, and when he handed it to the officer it was in ex actly the same state as when he received it from Reichberg. Cross-examined by Mr. M'Donnell—Witness did not ask Reichberg to bring him the gutta percha, but they were talking about that article, and he un derstood that Reichberg had some to dispose of and he brought him the piece in question as a sample. He understood from the prisoner that he was to keep it until he asked for it, and it laid about quite openly in his room until he gave it to the. officer. When he was acquainted with the prisoner at Odessa, he followed the occupation of a setter of dia monds, and he also dealt in diamonds. _ . Mr. Sleigh then said this was all the evidence he proposed to lay before the Court on the present oc casion, and he should, therefore, merely formally apply that the prisoners should be remanded to a future day. The Lord Mayor, who had paid the most careful attention to the evidence, said he considered that there was ample testimony to justify him in acced ing to the application, and the prisoners were accordingly again remanded, and in the course of the day were conveyed to Newgate.
