MA MARK-LANE. A small supply of English wheat was received fresh up to our market to-day in fair condition. For all qualities the trade was dull, and prices were about is. per qu a rt er lower than on Friday last. A total clearance was not effected. W he The mark e t was but moderately supplied with foreign Millers operated to a li m it e d ex t en t i n all descrip tions, yet very little change took place in the quotations. Floating cargoes of wheat were in slow request, and prices Were rather drooping. Spring corn, afloat, was steady in value. There was a fair supply of barley on the stands. Good and fine malting qualities, which were scarce, changed hands at fully late rates. Otherwise the barley trade was dull on former terms. Most descriptions of oats were in moderate supply. On the whole, the trade was steady at full prices. The market was scantily supplied with beans and peas, the trade for which was firm, at full currencies. Most descriptions of flour were in fair demand at quite previous rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.Barley.Malt. Oats. Flour. English and Scotch ..2 710 2 320 4 350 1,330 1,680 1ri5h„................

Mr. Carte; the coroner for East Surrey, held a long inquiry at the house of Mr. Whipp, the Running Deer, Mason-street, Lambeth, on the body of Mrs. Sophia Smith, aged 53, who died under the following deplorable circum stances. Edward Smith said that the deceased was his wife. Witness had been a working engineer at the House of Commons, but, being paralysed, he was superannuated, and the Government allowed him a yearly pension. He lived with his wife and stepson at 23, Streathfield-street, Mason-street. His son slept in the same room as he and deceased did. On Monday night he did not go to bed, as his wife had been driking a great quantity of rum, which had made her insensible. The Coroner—Did she frequently drink? Witness—Yes. The Coroner—But how did she get the money to pro cure the liquor ? Witness—By pawning anything she could got hold of. The witness further stated, owing to the state his wife got in, he took the bed off a sofa bedstead and placed it on tho floor, and she laid on the top of it. He placed the bed thero about nine or ten o'clock last night. She was then conscious, but excessively intoxicated. The Coroner—Seeing the state your wife was in, did you not send for medical assistance ? Witness—Yes, Mr. Dodd was sent sent for, and a young man came from his establishment, who gave her two emetics and a small quantity of brandy, but she became quite unconscious, and expired at half-past nine o'clock on Tuesday morning. • . _ _ The Coroner—Have you any suspicion that she took any thing for the purpose of destroying her life ? Witness—Certainly not. The Coroner—Then :in your opinion what do you think was the cause of death ? Witness—l am certain,irom the snoring noise she made, and the foaming at the mouth, that she died from' drink ing too much. George Hall, who resided in the house, gave evidence which confirmed the principal parts of the above, and added that he was called down stairs by the son, and when he en tered the room he found deceased on the floor, with her head resting against a bed. 1, He lifted her up and set her in an easy chair. She was then so insensible that she did not know him, and could not speak. Dr. Dodd was sent for, and a lad came and prescribed for her. He was aware that she was in the habit of drinking occasionally. The Coroner—What do you mean by occasionally ? How much did she drink a day ? Witness—About a quartern of rum. The Coroner—Why not tell the truth? Let us see the son. Mr. Adams (the summoning officer) informed the Court that the son was also drunk on the Monday night, when the Coroner, after severely reprimanding him for his habits of life, said they could place no dependence on what a drunken man said, and he refused to examine him. The jury said they were quite satisfied with the evidence, and they returned averdict of death from excessive drinking of ardent spirits. ANGLING IN THE THAmEs.—A fine trout of Bklb. was killed at Penton-hook, on Saturday last, the Ist of April, by a gentleman from Chertsey. The fish is described as being in excellent condition. Several other smaller trout have been captured. According to the old rules of the fishery, angling for trout may commence much earlier ; but we understand the committee of the Thames Angling Preservation Society, among other important sug gestions, have made application to the Conservators of the liver Thames to make a new by-law which will prevent any one from commencing trout fishing before the Ist of April in future years. The apparatus of the Thames Angling Preservation Society at the residence of Mr. Stephen P on d er, at Hampton, is now in full vigour, and upon a l arger scale than usual. Upwards of 80,000 eggs, ne arly vivified, and young fry of salmon, salmon trout, Thaxnes and other river trout, char, &c., may now be seen in their most interesting stages, and we believe a keeper is in constant attendance to show them to all persons interested in the culture of fish.

'his day. (This Day), Steward. The Jewellery Robbery in Manchester, Yesterday, at the City Sessions, before the Recorder (R. B. Armstrong, Esq.), the trial of the four prisoners, Daly, Barker, Hartley, and Elizabeth Moores, for breaking into the shop of Mr. Howard, jeweller, Market-street, and stealing property valued at £3,000 was resumed and con cluded.—Mr. Leresche and Mr. Edwards appeared for the prosecution; the male prisoners being defended by Mr. Earnest Jones, Mr. Torr, and Mr. Hopwood.—Evidence was called to show that at half-past three o'clock on Sun day the sth of February, Daly, Barker, and three other men were seen near the promises which were broken into, that Daly and Barker were at a public-house on the Monday morning, again in the evening, and again on Tuesday, and on the last occasion the landlord's daughter remarked that between his second and third visits Daly had shaved off his beard. Sutcliffe, a police constable, produced the housebreaking tools which he found in the possession of the prisoner Elizabeth Moores ; two of the jemmies were found to correspond with the marks on Mr. Monie's door, and a portion of the floor of one of the rooms occupied by Mr. Monie was produced to show that the marks found thereon corresponded with one of the bracebits. Some of the drills fitted the holes which had been made in the door of the iron safe. When the case for the prosecution was finished, Mr. Ernest Jones addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner Daly. He said that where a robbery of such magnitude had been committed, and where the sufferer was a respectable and respected fellow-towns man, it was impossible to conceal from themselves that a certain amount of prejudice must exist in all their minds. He should endeavour to show that the evidence against the prisoners rested entirely, as his friends for the prosecu tion admitted almost entirely, upon the statements of four approvers and accomplices. A number of recent decisions had laid it down as a rule of law that it was not suffi cient for accomplices to be corroborated only as to cir cumstances ; they must also be confirmed as to the per sons of the prisoners charged. All the jemmies, drills, and other tools which had been produced could not con nect Daly with the indictment. He was a working man, and for 18 months had been in the employment of a most respectable firm, at wages of 18s. per week. The personal corroboration relied upon was the evidence of Mr. Thompson, who said he saw Daly among a group of about five persons examining the shutters of the prose cutor's shop, but that was at a time when the Cheatham Hill omnibus was waiting on the same side of the -street, and within a few yards of the place, and in such a position that all the passengers could see all that took place. The story told by Lucy Moores was utterly improbable, and was contradicted by another approver ; she came fresh from the dock on this charge to screen the guilty and accuse the innocent. The evidence of Mr. Thompson and Esther Robinson was at variance as to the hat which Daly wore, and while Mr. Thompson said he saw Daly in Corporation street at half-past three, Esther Robinson proved that he was in Sheffield-street, London-road, at 20 minutes past three, and she noticed the clock when he entered the house. The prosecution had been duped by their witnesses, and had placed before the jury the wrong men. Who were the likeliest persons to be the perpetrators of such a robbery ? John Moores was a mechanic's labourer, well accustomed to ironwork. Mrs. Sutherland's husband was a joiner, and accustomed to the use of such tools ; and, ac cording to their admission, the property was found in their houses. No doubt they had told a true story in many par ticulars, but the law required them to be corroborated as to the persons of the prisoners, and that, he contended, had not been done ; and he wished to impress upon them that of all the stolen property not a single jewel, watch, or ring had been traced to any one of the prisoners. Mr. Torr, on behalf of the prisoner Hartley, read the opinions of several judges as to the reception of evidence given by accomplices and ap provers, and cautioned them against acting upon the evi dence which had been given in this case, seeing that it was uncorroborated as against Hartley. There was not a tittle of evidence except that which was given by people who were deeply dyed with the crime with which the prisoners wore charged. For a case of such magnitude the getting up was most slovenly ; it bore marks of haste even in the hands of the counsel who conducted it, and was little creditable to some people who had been engaged in the prosecution. He believed that if a conviction fol lowed there would be a greater number of robberies of the same kind, as the real perpetrators would be encouraged by the failure of justice to make other attempts.—Mr. Hopwood, on behalf of Barker, said that in this case the police, who also were on their trial, had got hold of witnesses on whom, as accom plices, the fear of the law had acted. There was a contra diction in the evidence of Lucy Moores and her husband as to there being a light in the room in which the five men were stated to have been examining the bundles. As to the broken implements, the jury, before convicting, must be satisfied that the two parts came from opposite directions, for if they came from the same place they did not affect the prisoners. Among the thousands of broken drills which could be found it was possible to discover two pieces which exactly corresponded and yet had not formed one drill. One favourable circumstance was that on Mr. Howard's premises two broken drills were found, the corresponding parts of which were not among the tools taken from the house of Elizabeth Moores. The only corroborative evidence was that of Mr. Stanley Thomp son. Occurences like the robbery worked on the minds of tho community. Did not tho jury know tattling friends, who, after a strange occurrence, would say, " I saw this ; I was cleverer than the rest of the world?" The police heard of Mr. Thomson, and asked him whether he could identify the prisoners. He had identified Daly and Barker, but they would remember that at first he iden tified a man, named Kay, and afterwards thought he was not one of the men he had seen. A few days after the robbery Barker was apprehended by the police, but was discharged. After keeping a woman in custody five weeks they came to the conclusion that he must be taken again. The Recorder occupied more than an hour in summing up the case. He told the jury that the amount of property stolen must in no way affect the manner of dealing with the case, and that the evidence of accomplices ought to be confirmed by other persons. The jury retired, and in about half an hour returned a verdict of guilty against Daly and Barker. They acquitted Hartley and Elizabeth Moores. The Recorder said that he concurred in the acquittal of Hartley, because there was no confirmation of the evidence against him. The sentence on Daly, who had been previously convicted, was that he be kept in penal servitude for seven years. Barker had been four times previously convicted, and on the last occasion was sentenced to four years' penal servi tude. He must be kept in penal servitude for 14 years. A second charge against Daly, of stealing a watch in Decem ber, was not proceeded with. This case brought the business of the sessions to a close. Alleged Defalcations of Lord Shaftesbury's S RERBORNE, Thursday. This morning Mr. Robert Short Waters surrendered to his bail at the Petty Sessions held here, on the charge of embezzling two sums of money—viz., £27 13s. 7d. and £25. Mr. Cole, barrister, instructed by Mr. Humphreys, soli citor, of Newgate-street, appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. George H. Lewis (Lewis and Lewis), Ely-place, Holborn, represented the defendant. Mr. Cole recapitulated the facts of the charge. Mr. Humphreys, he said, had at the first hearing given the bench a very good notion of the state of the case with regard to the charge against the prisoner, namely, that of embez zling the respective sums of £27 and £25 when acting as steward for Lord Shaftesbury. His lordship came into his estates in 1851, at which time the prisoner was managing the estates for his lordship's late father. Ho was, however, kept in the same employment by the present earl till 1863, when he received notice that if he did not resign he would be dismissed. In 1855 three accounts were opened by his lordship at the Blandford Bank, and subsequently an ar rangement was made by which one of his lordship's private solicitors audited the accounts kept by the prisoner. In 1860 the prisoner became connected with the turf, about which Lord Shaftesbury spoke to him, and he promised to give up his turf connexions. In 1862 some irregularities were dis covered in his accounts, but they were passed over by Lord Shaftesbury, believing they were only irregularities. In 1863, however, matters assumed.a more serious aspect, and the•prisoner was requested to resign. He did so, and since then it had been ascertained that the defendant owed his lordship between £ll,OOO and £12,000, and this he accom plished by paying moneys into the bank to what was called an estate account with one hand, and drawing it out with the other. He (the learned counsel) would show that the prisonerhadbeen keeping hunters, and having an elegantly furnished establishment ; in short, he had been living at the rate of £2,000 a-year with an income of £5OO. Ho, however, believed that he would be able to show that the prisoner had done all this out of his lordship's money. Mr. Cole then called Lord Shaftesbury, and examined him at considerable length. His lordship's depositions, which were grounded mainly upon the representations of his solicitor and accountant, tended to strengthen the points laid down by Mr. Cole. His lordship was afterwards subjected to a most rigid cross examination of nearly four hours by Mr. Lewis, in the course of which it was elicited that while there were errors in the accounts in favour of the defendant, he had also committed errors against himself. Letters were also put in showing the pecuniary embarrassment of Lord Shaftes bury, and also that his son, Lord Ashley, borrowed money from the defendant. The accounts, which were of a most complicated nature, were gone into at great length, and at 5 o'clock the case was adjourned till next morning, the same bail for the defendant being accepted. THE MURDER AT HATCHAM.—A man named Richard Havelin, or Havedan, about 50 years of age, for merly a private in the Grenadier or Scots Fusilier Guards, but for some time past getting his livelihood as an exca vator, is now in custody of the police on the charge of murdering John Davis, of No. 5, Britannia-terrace, Hatcham, a few months ago, by smashing his head with a poker. It appears that Havelin called at the Magazine Barracks, Hyde-park, and a soldier, knowing that a war rant was out for his apprehension, gave information, and Havelin was then handed over to the custody of Jenkins, one of the park-constables. Havelin, in the course of the morning, was taken to the station of the district where the murder was committed. LAW INTELLIGENCE SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) MONEY LENDERS AND THE PUBLIC-IMPORTANT QUESTION- VANE V. CRAXFORD. This was an action to recover commission for procuring a loan for defendant, for whom Mr. Horry appeared. Plaintiff stated that he saw an advertisement in which defendant required a loan of £3O. He negotiated the matter, and introduced the business to the Real and Per sonal Advance Company. After a short time, and before any money was advanced, it was discovered that defendant owed rent. Cross-examined—I have defendant's written authority at home, and it says that the commission would be paid when the money was obtained. His Honour—Then the money was never advanced at all ? Plaintiff—No, but it was quito ready. • His Honour—You cannot recover commission before the work is done. Plaintiff—l have recovered in a similar case at another court, His Honour—Very likely the facts were entirely diffe rent. Plaintiff—Then does your honour say that I am to lose all my time and labour? His Honour—You sue for commission, and if you know the meaning of the word you must see that you cannot re cover as it has not been earned. I would recommend you, Mrs. Crawford, not to have any more to do with cases of this kind. Plaintiff will be nonsuited. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. •••• WESTMINSTER. CRUEL ROBBERY OF A SERVANT.--Mary Ann M'Cormish, a smartly dressed young woman, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a watch and chain, and a great quan tity of wearing apparel, the property of Sarah Wren. The prosecutrix said that she was in the service of one of the foreign ambassadors, but had lodgings at 3, Exeter place, where she slept. She left her lodgings on Wednes day'morning to go to her employment, and at that time all property, consisting of the watch, chain, seals, a cloak, gown, and other articles of wearing apparel, were left safe in a box in her room. On her return there on Wednesday evening she found everything she possessed stolen, and gave information to the police, who apprehended the pri soner, and found all her property. Mr. Selfe inquired whether she was acquainted with the prisoner ? Prosecutrix replied that sho was not, but she had heard she came to lodge in the house 10 days ago. William Watts, 253 B, said he went to a lodging house, 69, York-street, Westminster, in consequence of some in formation he received, and waited there for the prisoner last night. When he first took her she denied all know ledge of the robbery, but pawnbrokers' duplicates relating to the property were discovered in her pocket, and she was wearing prosecutrix's boots. Several pawnbrokers produced the property. The constable stated that prisoner had previously had 9 months' imprisonment for obtaining goods under false pretences. Prisoner said she was very sorry. She was committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. A NOTORIOUS IMPOSTOR.—Wm. Price, alias Morgan, alias " Black Welsh Tom," who described himself as a carpenter, was charged before Mr. Knox, with begging and assaulting James Fryer, officer of the Mendicity Society. Fryer said that at half-past six the previous evening, he saw the prisoner following different gentlemen, and begging of them. On the prisoner leaving a gentleman in St. Alban's place, he went up to him and took him into custody. At the station he went to search the prisoner, when he pulled a paper out of his pocket and tried to get it into his mouth, and in attempting to get it from the pri soner he kicked him violently on the knee and tore his coat, and it took five persons to get the paper from the prisoner. The following is a copy of the paper alluded to : " Riverhill, Sevenoaks, Kent, Dec. 24. " Tho bearer, Wm. Morgan Williams, has been in my employ upwards of twelve months, during which time ho conducted himself to my entire satisfaction. About four months since he received injuries which totally disabled him from following his usual avocation. J. EDMD. HILL, Contractor, &c." In answer to the magistrate, the constable said he had known the prisoner, some time as a beggar, and he had been committed four times - at this and Marylebone Police courts—on one occasion being committed for three months for begging and assaulting him (Fryer). The letter was the writing of a notorious begging-letter impostor. Mr. Knox said the prisoner, who was a notorious beggar and impostor, had been guilty of violence to the officer, and would be committed for three months with hard la bour. THAMES. BURGLARY.—WiIIiam Knight, a young man who has been a river labourer, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with feloniously breaking and entering the dwel ling-house and warehouse of Mr. Puckett, grocer, of 3, Lumsden's-court, Fore-street, Limehouso. This morning, at three o'clock, a police constable—Mr. Tyler, 155 K—heard a noise in the prosecutor's shop, and, upon listening, it was repeated. He examined the pre mises, and found a side door and side window open. He knocked at the front door with his staff, and from a noise he heard within was satisfied the prisoner was concealed behind it. The prosecutor, disturbed by the policeman knocking, came down stairs, and the prisoner opened the front door and rushed out. Tyler immediately seized him, and the prisoner said, "It's all right. I live here, and have only been in the shop to have a sleep." A box, containing some lucifers, was found on the prisoner. A lucifer exactly similar to those in the prisoner's box was found in the house. It had been lighted and thrown down. Upon an examination of the premises it was ascertained that the side window had been forced open. It was secnred by a holdfast last night. The side door of the warehouse found open this morning was also closed last night. There was a good deal of valuable pro perty in the place, and the prisoner would have carried off a considerable booty if the constable had not exercised vigi lance and detected him before he had time to remove anything. The prisoner, in defence, said he had been ill and out of work. Mr. Partridge committed the prisoner to Newgate for trial for burglary. A VERY BAD APPRENTICE.—Conrad Metar, a Dutch boy, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with absenting himself from the service of his employers, Messrs. Gluck stein and Abrahams, tobacco and cigar manufacturers, of No. 37, High-street, Whitechapel. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, said the prosecutors carried on a very extensive business, and employed many appren tices and men. Some of the lads had been very disobe: dient, coming into the factory when they liked and going away when they pleased. Some of them had been punished, but not before the prosecutors had used great indulgence and forbearance. The prisoner was apprenticed to Gluck stein and Abrahams on the 6th of August last, and had been away 20 weeks and one day in the course of that time. The boy's regular wages wore 6s. per week, but when he thought proper to work he could earn 10s. and 12s. per week on piece work. In February of this year a sum mons was taken out against the prisoner for refusing to work, and the prosecutors forgave him and took him back. The boy again absented himself and had been away several days. There was now no alternative but to call upon the magistrate to put the law in force. Mr. Samuel Gluckstein confirmed tho evidence of him solicitor, and said the prisoner had been properly instructed in the business of a cigar maker, and was now becoming useful to the firm. Howland, No. 89 H, an officer of the court, said the prisoner told him he did not like the business of a cigar maker and would not work. The prisoner said he had been very ill. Mr. Partridge—Have you a medical certificate ? The Prisoner—l have one at home. Mr. Gluckstoin—His disease is laziness. Mr. Partridge sentenced the prisoner to three weeks' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction, and said he must go to work for his master when he came out of prison. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO LADY BLANTYRE.—An accident of an alarming nature happened to the Viscountess Blantyre, on Tuesday last, near Stafford. Her ladyship, who is on a visit to the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot at Ingestre, drove out on the day named in the direction of Milford, accompanied by Lady Victoria and the Hon. Gerald Talbot. In the course of their drive the ford at Wolsley Bridge had to be crossed, and the coach man, taking his horses too near the bridge, precipitated his charge into the depths of the stream. The result of the mistake was a narrow escape of the whole distinguished party from drowning, the Viscountess Blantyre being mira culously preserved by the courageous conduct of two rustics, who gallantly plunged into the water, and, knowing the river, assisted her ladyship to a part of the water where it was fordable. The remainder of the party escaped, owing to their presence of mind, with a mere drenching. It is stated that the two men, whose services were so opportune, and whose names are James Winslow and Thos. Mather, were handsomely recompensed for their gallant services. RAILWAY BILLS BEFORE PARLIAMENT.—Yester day in the House of Commons committee, group 1 B, the London, Blackwall, and Millwall Extension Bill, supported by Mr. T. Jones, with Mr. Merewether, Q.C., against it, was passed. The London; Chatham, and Dover Railway (No. 1) Bill was passed, and the committee ad journed for the consideration of clauses. In group 13, the bill of the London, Worcester, and South Wales Railway was further considered, in connexion with numerous com peting schemes. In this group several bills were adjourned until after the Easter recess. In group 21 the committee proceeded with the further consideration of the North British (Lasswade, &c., Branches) Bill, which was still going on when the committee rose. 100 100 100 100 1..0 OSSE all 10.) 100 {lOO 2 100 100 97i f 75 i 101 1191 19 87 42 6 1211 Hit 96g 1281 8 i 1351 !Ili 11 i 10j 86 } 1031 103 ' 101 f 31 4i 23i 1011 Aim... The Confederate Congress and President Davis• The Richmond Sentinel publishes the report of the Senate Committee of the Confederate States on the recent messages of President Davis. It was read and adopted in secret session, and the seal of secrecy removed on the 16th March. After discussing the recommendations of the President, and his remarks on the dilatory action of the Congress in respect of them, which charge of dilatoriness the Committee contest, the report speaks in the following terms concerning the President's message on the subject of exemptions : The casual reader would infer that tho laws, as they stood at the date of the message, exempted the classes enumerated by the President, as well as many other classes not mentioned by him. Such is not the fact. The only class exemptions allowed by the laws then in force were the following: Ministers of religion, superintendents and plysicians of asylums for the deaf, dumb, and blind, and of the insane ; one editor for each newspaper, and such employ4s as the editor may certify on oath as indispensably necessary ; the public printers of the Confederate and State Governments, and their journeymen printers; one skilled apothecary in each apothecary store, who was doing business as such on Oct. 10, 1862 ; physicians over 30 years of age, and for seven years in practice ; presidents and teachers of colleges, seminaries, and schools, and the superintendents, physicians, and nurses in public hospitals ; certain mail contractors, and drivers of post coaches ; certain officers and employes of railroad companies ; certain agriculturists or overseers. Officers of the State Government are not pro perly included among the exempted classes, because it is conceded that Congress has no constitutional power to conscribe them as soldiers. Nor are drunkards, Quakers, or other non-combatants, regarded as be longing to class exemptions, because under the act of June 7, 1864, the exemption of these persons is subject to the control of the Secretary of War. The exemption of agri culturists or overseers, between the ages of 18 and 45, has been repealed at the present session. Tanners, shoemakers, millers, blacksmiths, telegraph operators, and workmen in mines, enumerated by the President as among the classes exempted, are not now, and have not been since the pas .. .. . . sage of the act of Feb. 17, 1864, exempted as a class. If railroad officers and employes and state officers who are not constitutionally subject to conscription be excluded, the classes now exempted east of the Mississippi river em brace about 9,000 men, one third of whom are physicians, and nearly another third aro ministers of the gospel ; the remaining third is principally composed of teachers, pro fessors, printers and employes in newspaper offices, and apothecaries. After some further observations on this subject, the report continues : It is true that Congress has failed to respond to the re commendation of the President to enact a general militia law. The subject was considered, and the failure to act was the result of deliberation. The conscription laws enacted by Congress have placed in the military service of the country all its able-bodied citizens between the ages of 17 and 50. The whole military material of the country, so far as legislation is concerned, is absorbed by the conscription acts. There is none left on which a militia law can operate, except the exempted classes, and the boys under 17, and the men under 50 years of age. It was deemed expedient to allow this material to remain subject to the control of the State authorities for the purposes of local police, to aid in the arrest of deserters, and to enforce the administration of State laws. It is also true that the President has recommended the pas sage of a law suspending the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus. This recommendation was the subject of a special message, in secret session. It occupied the atten tion of Congress for four or five weeks. After mature deli beration the measure was laid aside, as unimportant and inexpedient. Spies can be arrested and tried summarily, without suspending the writ of habeas corpus. Conspiracies, tending in any manner to the injury of our cause, were pro vided for by special act passed at the present session, "to de fine and punish conspiracy against the Confederate States." The states of North Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi had expressed through their Legislature great repugnance to the past legislation of Congress suspending the writ, and a large portion of the people throughout the country was arrayed against the policy of that legislation. It was deemed wise and prudent to conciliate opposition at a time when dissensions were ruinous ; and as the benefits to be derived from the suspension of the writ were con jectural, the deliberate judgment of Congress was expressed by its silence on the subject. It is to be regretted that the Executive does not concur in these views, and again calls on Congress to revise its action, and to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, as a measure "almost indispensable to the successful conduct of the war." If the fact stated in the confidential message alluded to by the President be the basis of the opinion that the suspension of the writ "is indispensable to the successful conduct of the war," the Congress does not concur in that opinion. The writ has not been suspended since August last. It is not perceived that the military reverses of the country, since that period, were occasioned by the absence of the legislation asked for. The document concludes with the following words : Nothing is more desirable than concord and cordial co operation between all departments of Government. Hence your. Committee regret that the Executive deemed it neces sary to transmit to Congress a message so well calculated to excite discord and dissension. But for the fact that the success of the great struggle in which the country is now engaged depends as much on the confidence of the people in the legislative as in the executive departments of the Government, the message would have been received with out comment. Your Committee would have preferred silence. It has been induced to an opposite course, because they believe Congress would be derelict in its duty to per mit its legitimate and constitutional influence to be de stroyed by executive admonitions, such as those contained in the message under consideration, without some public exposition of its conduct.

Old associations go for nothi ng w i th racing men, except they also have linked with them some practical and profit able illustrations. Still one would have thought that when, the last scene in a real and popular drama which has lasted nearly 100 years on the same boards was about to be played out there would at least have been a respectable audience numerically to witness the final fall of the curtain. But it was far otherwise, and among the few who straggled into, the old subscription room for the last time there was no or ao racy enough to avail hims - elf of the opportunity for deliv,a r .„ ing even a few impromptu words by way of epile J a no.

Anxiously intent to view the last hard row, and invited by the fine weather this morning, a vast assemblage was present at Putney, and lined the tow-path to Mortlake, in order to see the final strong work of. the University crews, previous to Saturday's race. The Oxford gentlemen had several spurts with a Kingston eight, and the latter generally had the best of it. They discontinued at Hammersmith, and tho Oxonians went alone to Barnes. Here they had a rest at the Bull's Head, and after rowing to the bridge they turned and rowed down, Mr. G. Morrison and several old university men, accompany ing them. Their style was very fine, and they rowed 38' and 39strokes per minute, rowing hard to the Aqueduct at Putney. The Cantabs, contrary to expectation, did not row, but paddled up to the White Hart at Barnes. They then turned and rowed all the course, doing 36 and 37 strokes in the latter part of it. They were coached by Mr. Selwyn, who made them row all the way. Betting, of which little is done, is 5 to 4on Oxford, and the clever people seem to fancy the crew very much. PUTNEY, Friday Morning. The practice of the University crews wasresumed yester day morning. The Oxonians launched their craft from the London Rowing Club boat-house soon after 11 o'clock, and were speedily joined by a picked crew of the Kingston Club. They then proceeded to try each other's mettle in a few brisk starts. The Kingston Rowing Club rowed in a gig eight of Salter's ; the Oxonians in their racing boat. In the first start the dark blue allowed their oppo nents a start of half a length, as a sort of compensa tion for the discrepancy of boats. To the unutterable astonishment of all present, and the horror of tho Oxonians themselves, the Kingston crew rowed clean away from their opponents, without ever affording them a shadow of a chance. After some 350 yards had been covered the two crews eased up, and prepared for another trial, this time starting upon level terms. The result was the same as before, and when the two crews pulled up off the Crabtree the Oxonians were nearly half a length to the bad. The next start ranged from the Soap-works to Ham mersmith-bridge, and this time the Oxonians held their antagonists to some extent, being only beaten by half a length at the last, but at the same time they had the advan tage of wind, tide, and course, so that the improvement was but nominal. One more spin on the other side of the bridge, in which the University were left more than ever in the lurch, and then the Kingstonians proceeded to disembark at Biffin's, while the dark blue rowed up to Barnes-bridge, preparatory to a spin down to the aqueduct. They started at about 37 strokes a minute, which they held to Craven Point, and came in with a fine spurt of 39 per minute. Their rowing was still uneven, though there was a slight improvement upon the form of last week. Nos. 6 and 4 came in for a large share of censure from the cognoscenti, and were univer sally admitted to be below par. Still the crew themselves re mained confident of success, asserting that theitpace was bet ter than their looks, but this is quite possible. The Cantabs turned out at 12 15, and paddled steadily to Hammersmith, where they rested for a time, and then proceeded to the top of Chiswick Eyot, and after divesting themselves of guern seys, &c., proceeded to row that portion of the course down to Putney. It had been generally expected that the King ston crew would pick them up at Hammersmith -bridge, but e ei p r u b° bl a ic t a t the e th l e at e t i o i r ti g ca e l u m tle o m m e e n nt w . e T r we e n c o t a n r t e a a b d s y s h t o o t g b e y t , i a n n t d o t t h h were disappointed of what would doubtless have proved an interesting trial. The rowing of the Cantabs exhibited a marked improvement in uniformity and length ; their h at 5 to 4 up on O xford thedas w r.s spectators, firstr m while and in e Oxford they s o n u k n g p e r n o e p r o a r t l i f o a n v . o u among r The betting, which had opened fell, after their indifferent performance with the yesterday, watermen on Wednesday and the Kingstonians yesterday, to evens. In some cases we actually heard odds offered upon Cambridge, but we should set down the fair standard at evens, Cambridge, perhaps, for choice. Both crews will take a paddle this morning, and then rest for the day. The race will be rowed About noon at Saturday, perhaps a little earlier, according to the state of the tide.
