This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and 'credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, wherein affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We. feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which , for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, takes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by you T t h h e m p uc ß h E m c or E e p f T re o qu ß e , ntl al y s t o h , an w it ho is a ho t all suspected. (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed p rac ti ces so o ft en i n t ro d u ced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus lie will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is a ddi cte d ; he will a l so b e ena bl e d t o p o i n t out the dis astrous consequences which are sure t o f o llow from them if not relinquished.

Oh yes ; let us do justice to the single officer who did interfere. " The Government sent its proper officer (the collector) to in quire what business the boat was engaged in." • • • " The collector (lid not refuse to let me go out. HE SAID I MIGHT DO WHAT I DID WITHOUT VIOLATING ANY LAW. I MIGHT RUN TO NAVY ISLAND AND CARRY ARMS AND AMMUNITION, BUT THAT I RAN RISK WHILE I WAS IN I BRITISH WATER. And, finally, in reply to a question from the Attorney-General, Mr. Wells says, " Iknew what would be wanted on Navy Island, and that was why I consulted the collector." We confine ourselves to the testi timony of this witness, and brief as are our extracts from it, we do not think any dispassionate person can for an in stant doubt its conclusiveness to the two important points of the piratical character of the vessel, and the bellige rent character of the territory in the waters of which she was destroyed. It is not, however, for the destruc tion of the Caroline that M•Leod is indicted, but for the murder of a vagabond named Durfee, who had been waiting in the steamer to cross ove r t o his comrades at Navy Island. Of course, the homicide of Durfee was justifiable or not ; just as the destruction of the Caroline will be decided to have been justifiable or not. But, in the first place, there is no evidence as yet to connect M'Leod with the attack upon .the Caroline. As this portion of the case, however, is yet open, we shall offer no observation upon it. It is clear, however, whether M'Leod was of the attacking party or not, Durfee was shot, not by one of them, but by one of his own comrades. It will he seen from the evidence of every witness examined, that all the firing by the attacking party took place before the Caroline was cut out. Three or four witnesses swore that "one shot was fired from the American shore when 'the boat was going down the stream burning." Now, a witness na me d Emmons de poses that he saw Durfee alive " after", that shot was tired—that is, after the attack had wholly ceased, and the attacking party had left for the Canada shore. It is quite clear, then, that justice was, unintentionally pet haps, done upOn him by some of his felloW-pirates, and not by any of the British party. The excitement created by the trial does not appear to have been at all equal to the anticipation of what it would be. The reporter of the greatest alarmist ofthe press, the New York Herald, writing from the court-house, says :—" Persons at a dis tance, who are wrought up to a feverish excitement on this subject, will be astonished at the apathy felt here ; but so it is." POST.—The commencement of the trial of M'Leod is now before our readers. It would be idle to offer any opinion upon the effect of the evidence, that portion of it which was to sustain the prosecution not having been completed when the latest report of the proceedings was despatched. It may have been reinforced subsequently; and when we say that it required much reinforcement before the prisoner could be in any danger before an im partial jury, we say all that the occasion warrants or re quires. The speech of the advocate for the prosecution is certainly not discreditable either to the talent or the temper of the American bar, supposing, what we are bound to suppose, that the Learned Gentleman had reason to believe his statement of the case as to matters of fact would be substantiated by witnesses entitled to credit. The only point upon which, in the present state of our information, we feel warranted in expressing an opinion diametrically opposed to' his, is one which relates not to anything done, or alleged to have been done, by the prisoner at the bar, but to the actual state of affairs in that portion of the United States territory adjacent to Canada, and to the law of nations in its ap plication to the real circumstances. Mr. Hall says:— " Mr. Wells saw in the circumstance of the excite ment and curiosity, which were drawing thousands to Schlosser, of whom not one in a thousand went to the island—he saw an opportunity of making gains by his little boat, which was hardly larger than a ferry boat, and which was lying idle at Buffalo. With this, and no other motive than that of profit, he started from Buffalo on the 28th of December, 1837, to Schlosser. He stop ped at all the intermediate points or landing places where boats had heretofore stopped. After reaching Schlosser, about two o'clock in the day, he went from there to Navy Island ; he made two trips in the course of the afternoon, carrying passengers and such articles as were brought to him to tie conveyed, and such as were conveyed by other ferry boats. Amongst these articles it will appear there was a cannon. Much stress has been laid upon this circumstance ; and I therefore pause one moment to comment upon it, so far that you may per ceive what force an act of this kind should have. It was one of those articles which, when nations are at war, neutrals are prohibited to convey, under pain of forfeiture if taken. If a neutral undertake to carry arms and mu nitions of war, the vessel and articles so conveyed are liable to forfeiture. But if a vessel carry such articles to the destined point and land them, she cannot after wards be held liable. The moment the articles are landed she is no longer liable to be seized or molested. This law applies upon the high seas, the common high way of all nations. In this portion of the territory it would apply only in cases of seizure within the waters of Great Britain, and it would not extend to them the right of coming within our own waters." The whole merit of the case rests upon this part of the prosecutor's speech, and if this can be shown to be erroneous in fact and in law, as we think it can, we are entitled to conclude, not that the trial will terminate in the acquittal of M'Leod, but that it ought to do so. " When nations are at war," says the New York Attor ney-General. Ay, but in this case nations were not at war. There was no war—there was a rebellion; and the law of nations, assuming that he stated it correctly in its application to the rights of neutrals in a war between nations, is not, therefore, the law of nations in a case in which rebel subjects are contending against their lawful Sovereign. The sympathisers of the United States found within the Canada frontier, abetting in arms the rebel Canadians, might lawfully, and in conformity with the general usage of civilised nations, be hanged, although the Swiss mercenaries to whom Mr. Hall elsewhere alludes, fighting under the banners of contending nations, are not exposed to so ignomi nious a fate. This is an important distinction which the New York Attorney-General entirely overlooks. But there is another and still more important distinc tion which cannot have been present to the mind of the New York Attorney-General when he uttered his dictum upon the law of nations as applicable to the case of Mr. M'Leod. The conflict within the Canadian frontier was a conflict of rebellious subjects against their lawful So vereign, and if the Government of the United States, as a Government, was not, as we suppose Mr. Hall will not contend it was, cowardly and treacherous to the last de gree, in its relations with the Government of Great Britain, the aid afforded to the Canadian rebels by the sympathisers of the United States was aid afforded by subjects in defiance of their own lawful Government, and in rebellion against that Government. There was rebellion on both sides of the river—the one rebellion acting upon and stimulating and reinforcing the other. The cannon of which Mr. Hall speaks so lightly is not an insignificant circumstance. Where did the sympathisers obtain this cannon? Had they a foundry for cannon ? Are pieces of artillery articles of sale and purchase at the fairs on the United States' side of the St. Lawrence ? No ! The cannon had been taken from an arsenal of the United States, and taken in rebellious defiance of the Gov ernmen t of the United States. Nor was this the only outrage which attested the utter impotency of the Government of the United States to restrain the rebellious excesses of its own sub. jects. In reference to such a state of things, it may be affirmed with confidence that the right of self-defence had superseded the ordinary law of nations, or rather, that the ordinary law of nations in relation to the rights of neutrals in a war between State and State was ut- terly inapplicable to the circumstances. The letter of Mr. M'Leod, which we subjoin to our report of the trial, will be read with interest at the present moment. HERALD.—We are now enabled to lay before our readers the proceedings which hare taken place in the preliminary stages of M'Leod's trial. It is in a remote town in a remote corner of the northernmost of the United States—the youngest nation in existence which can be said to have taken rank among the maritime powers of the world—that, the person of a private individual no less a delinque3,c is arraigned than the Imperial Majesty of Great Britain. It is in the nine teenth century—in the zenith of her power, in the per fection of her institutions, in the undisputed supre macy of her commercial capital, and her social pros perity—with no other interruption to the accumulated trophies of a quarter of a century of peace (glorious to herself and fortunate for mankind) but the laurels newly culled by her victorious forces in the noblest coun tries of the east—it is in the full vigour of her political existence, and in the plenitude of her grandeur among the paramount empires of the old world—that Great Britain has, by her Government, tacitly consented to permit her own acts, in the extinction of a rebellion among her subjects in one of her distant Transatlantic colonies, to be Criminally challenged and adjudicated upon by a municipal rather than :a national tribunal of those United States. It remains to be seen whether or not she will permit those acts, after solemnly reclaiming them for her own to be punish e d, t oo, i n t h e person o f that private subject, her accredited and recognised servant. To the operation of what potent but at present inexplicable causes, posterity 'may one day attribute her submission to such indig nity and insult, it might be matter for curious speculation to anticipate, did time or space per mita, us to enter upon it. But at resent all that our duty as journalists exacts of us, itn relationthat the to this matter, is to record the astounding fae uestion e volving of nations in the old world—on. a question volving the rights of her independence ln rep the foreign re volt among her own colonists and punishingt lerself to be abettors of that revolt—has cited, and, in the personunfranchised b p e erin or Justices of Oyer and pro vincial American Court—before subject has actually appeared— dictment of murder !

SUN.— k comparison of the Exchequer Bills so mys. teriously hypothecated for loans in the Stock Market with those issued by the Government, proves them to be ge nu i ne, but the practice of issuing . double numbers, however dif ferent may be the wording in the bills themselves is muc h reprobated, and will, lio doubt henceforth be discontinued.

The on pany began to arrive about ten , , when dancing com menced. Soon after midnight an elegant and beautifully ornamented supper (which r e fl ects high credit on Gunter, or whoever undertook it) was served ; after which danc ing was resumed, and kept up with great spirit until four in the morning, when the gratified guests took thciatleirm 1-4 '-i( ENING SUN. that we can give a brief epitome, so far as it has been given, better calculated to convey to the mailer our own strong conviction of its legal inadequacy to establish the case laid in the indictment, even on the assumption that the whole of the evidence to be adduced for the prosecu tion may be true, than the terms in which the United States. Attorney-General himself summed up its bear ings. These were his words:— " We - will show that previous to the expedition the pri soner was one of those most actively engaged in getting it up. That the day before he went to Buffalo to ascertain whether the Caroline was coming down to Schlosser. That he took a deep and active interest in the affair, and that on that very evening he was engaged enlisting persons for the expedition. That on several occasions he exhibited a sword, and pointing to blood upon it, said that was the blood of a d—d 'Yankee. Other witnesses will prove that they saw him go with the boats on the expedition, and others that they saw him on his return from it. Such is the nature of the testimony showing you what part the prisoner took in the expedition to destroy the Caroline, in which Amos Durfee met his death." Weaker presumptive evidence it may have been at tempted to impose on intelligent juries in other trials for capital felony; but surely no verdict of " guilty" was ever returned, by any number of dispassionate and indif rent men, on such a case, to found such a charge! MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. CIIIZONICLE.—The price of English wheat advanced 2s: per quarter to-day in Mark-lane, and the supply was extremely short. The harvest may be now looked upon as nearly over, and the accounts are precisely the same as we have already stated. The additional supply of foreign corn which will be required before next harvest over and above the. 2,000,000 quarters already received may now, be i stated with some accuracy at from 1,500,000 quarters to 2,000,000 of quarters. The accounts from Scotland to-day are more favourable than last week, and the crops are now nearly secured ; but the greater portion has been housed too quickly, and fears are en tertained that it w ill not keep in the stack. The potato crop in Scotland has been seriously injured, and altogether the . yield in that q uar t er o f t h e country will be deficient, both in quality and quan tity. The certainty-,which • now exists that large im portations of foreign corn will soon be required has produced great activity in the Mediterranean ports, and wheat has risen in price there considerably. Orders to the . eirteet of half a million of quarters have already been forwarded, and will be in course or arrival throughout the Winter. The effect has already begun to show itself in the' fall of our rate of exchange: The following letter from a highly respectable party at Plymouth b eives an accurate account of the stat e o f th e h arvest in Cornwall and Devonshire : " The harvest in this part of the country is not yet completed, for we hear that some wheat and much oats are still exposed in the high lands, and, owing to the ex cessive rains for the last two months, our farmers have had a very expensive, tedious, and unprofitable season. " Wheat in some sheltered situations is found to yield, but generally it is defieient in acre a bl e p ro d uce, light in weigt, weathered, with not a few samples sprouted, and most of it stacked in bad condition. " Barley is generally a coarse grain and badly sr.ted, and much care will be required in selecting samples for malting. " Oats promised a great crop, but have so much suffered by rain that the produce is lessened and greatly injured. " Hay in general was a good burden, but much has been badly saved. " There are complaints of the potato crop, and though yet too early to form an accurate . conclusion, it w appre hended that, from the excessive wetness of the lOW-lands, there will be a partial deficiency. " Seldom has the corn iu this district been more ex hausted than it was for two months before harvest, when much foreign cern was entered at 20s. Bd. to 245. Bd. per quarter, for want of British to supply local consumption." There is nothing in the shape of exaggeration in the above report, and it may be taken with perfect safety as affordir '9 , a fair average pict ure o f th e reports from all parts of England. No doubt is entertained in the best informed quarters connected with Mark-lane, that Sir Robert Peel sees the necessity of proposing a consider able change in the Corn-laws. POST.—The origin of the irregularities in the Exche quer Bill market is not yet openly, or rather not posi tively, stated, but we believe there is no longer much uncertainty upon the subject.. The weakness exhibited in the Foreign Stock market, especially in what aro called the " Sporting securities," is thought to confirm, to a great extent, the accuracy of the disclosure made by us on this point in our last City article. Suspicion attaches very strongly to the Boulogne conspirators, who are known to have a partiality for low-priced stocks, as a class best adapted to their views. When manoeuvres of a most disreputable nature are so• readily passed over by the Committee of the Stock Exchange, the utility of that body may, we think, once more be fairly questioned. As long as they were confined to the bubbles of Spain, Portugal, and Spanish America, our remonstrances at the Com mittee's want of energy and straightforward inde pendence met, we fear, with but little attention. 1:row, however, when the best of our domestic secr-leti es are found to suffer in character by its excesslen supineneSs, we do not so much despair of a sal ataxy reformation. The Committee could not, we shoulti imagine, have re mained all this time in ignorance of what was passing around it. It appears from inquiries instituted by several Portu guese bondholders, naturally anxious to learn the object and result of the interview which took place between Lord Aberdeen and h deputation from the Committee on Saturday last &t Mr. Thornton, the Chairman, had addressed a IV c'%Fgial to his Lordship, praying for his mediation Wi 4 gebe Portuguese Government in effecting a compromiseff' At the dividends overdue on the Old Bonds without disturbing the original securities on which their money was advanced, and which memorial is supported by and recommended to his Lordship's immediate notice by most of the first merchants and bankers of the City of London, among whom also are several Members. of Parliament ; and it will be satisfactory to this ill used class of British subjects to learn that Lord Aber deen most kindly and courteously promised to forward the representation to her Majesty's Minister at Lisbon, with instructions to his Lordship in support of their claims. This conduct on the part of the Noble Earl will suffice, perhaps, to remove f r o m th e m i n d of a Morning Contemporary (the Chronicle) the illiberal suspicions in which he had allowed himself to indulge to the prejudice of his Lordship. An outside jobber in the tea-trade stopped payment on Saturday, but the amount of his liabilities are so small (only about 3,0000 as to be scarcely worthy of no tice in connection with the ordinary operations of the market ; nor should we, perhaps, have alluded to the matter, were it not for the purpose of meeting any exaggerated report that may possibly go abroad in re ference to it. TIMES.—A circular has lately been issued to the ac tuaries of savings'-banks by the Controller of the National Debt-office, directing them to prepare, on the 20th of next month, returns, descriptive of the occupations and rank of the depositors, distinguishing minors from adults. The idea of these returns, which will in England, and the habits and conditions of var i ous contain a curious illustration of the state 'of soc i e t y classes, is taken from the French, who have pub lished such returns for some years. It is obvious that the utility of the returns will greatly depend on the adoption of an uniformity of classification by all the savings'-banks, since, if each adopts a different arrange ment, it will be a work of great trouble to draw front them an intelligible result, even if it could be effected at all. It is, therefore, singular, that no instructions for the classification have been given to the banks, who are left to their own discretion. The actuary of one of them suggests the following divisio n , to b e adopted by them all, so t the desire uniformity may be produced:— " Class I.—Domestic servants of every description, ver ~ ncesisaesss, male and fem a l e , i ncluding stewards, companions, go bourers, shopn aen, mechanics, handicraf tinen, la and others engaged in manual opera tions, and receiving wages therefor. " Class 3 . - -Tradesm en , s h op k eepers, and others car rying o n b us i ness on their own account, and working for themselv es , or employing others under them. " Class 4.—Soldiers, sailors, and police. " Class . s.—Officers and clerks in the Government ser vice, persons engaged in commercial, literary, and scientific pur3uits, whether employed by or employing others, and genera ll y any individuals not comprehende d in the above classes. " Class G.—M arr i e d women ; also widows and single their women without o ccu p at i on, e i ther l i v i ng pa rents or friends, or li v i ng by themselvesmeans. 07: with dtpendent LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1841.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 2.l.—Much indignation has been excited among the inhabitants of Brussels the last few days by the perpetratio n of a very disgraceful outrage, in which there is much reason to fear the juaior mem bers of a highly respectable English family, residing here are implicated. Considerable improvements nave lately taken place in th e pu bli c gardens and other parts of the town bordering o r e, t h e: P alace, arid a numler of beau tiful and co s tly s t a t ues h ave been erected in those situ ations, where th e y wou ld prove most ornamental. Dur ing one ni g ht l ast wee k the rails of the gardens were scaled by a pirty of half-drunken young men (for the gates are closed at eight) bearing each.a pot of red or black paint, and with considerable trouble and inge nuity they contrived to bedaub all these new works, giving. Venus a black eye, painting the beautiful statue of Diana a deep red, and many of the others black, and marking them all most indecently. Not contented with their labours in the gardens they proceeded through the principal streets in the town, defacing all the sign-boards, and covering s o m e of the newly-constructed buildings with the rough outline of figures in most in decent positions. Unused to such Waterford pranks in this peaceahle •eighbourhood, the police Jost natimein endeavouring to trace the perpetrators of this wantonly mischievous out rage, and succeeded in capturing the son of a certain English Captain here, at whose house some of the paint pots were found. Ile has been ever since closely con fined, and although he does not deny the charge himself, yet obstinately refuses to name his companions in this work of folly. It is currently reported here he wiit be kept in prison until he names the parties who were with him, and _then tried ; and if the ease is clearly proved, fined five thou sand francs and imprisoned for two or three years. Al though such a sentence may seem severe, yet it will check a recurrence of such wanton and discreditable conduct most effectually, and it would be well if our Police Ma gistrates had the power to act with equal severity in cases where public or private property was defaced in a manner so cool and , premeditated. A fine of 5/., which often atones for a most gross and flagrant outrage, is to many no punishment at all, as the loss of such a sum is no inconvenience. Let us follow the - example of the Police Magistrates of Brussels, and such scenes as are nightly perpetrated in London by members of the Wa terford fraternity, will be of as rare occurrence there as they are among oar Belgian neighbours.

It is probable she has run foul of another ship, as her bowsprit is carried away and her head much - damaged. The crew appear to have left the ship with 'all their clothes, as none were found on board, nor any document excepting an open letter, addressed Captain Brown;' from David Brown, dated February.lo, 1841.

THE ARMY OF FRANCE.—The Monileur publishes an account of the administration of military justice in France during the year 1838. The army then consisted of 314,919 men, and the prosecutions did not exceed 4,638. Of these 3,169 were • sentenced—viz. 69 to death, 3 to transportation, 972 to hard labour, 109 to labour and imprisonment, 2,007 to imprisonment, 7 to dismissal from the service, Tto fine. Of the 69 capitally convicted, only ten were executed—one in France, for murder, and the nine others in Africa. Three of the latter were Arabs, serving in the French army. Of the 4,638 individual:: brought to trial, 2,468, knowing how to read and write, signed their interrogatories, and 2,170 were completely illiterate. The corps of the staff and the military intendance did not produce a single offender. Among the invalids of Paris and Avignon, amounting to about 7,000, there was only one ; the Gendarmerie, the Municipal Guard, and firemen (16,974 men) had 13, of which 6 were condemned ; the infantry, con sisting of ,88 regiments and 210,961 men, had 2,464 accused, of whom 1,840 were found guilty .; the cavalry, composed of 53 regiments, with an effective force of 37.769 men, had 392 accused, of whom 263 were con demned ; the artillery, pioneers, the companies of mili tary labourers, and the artillery waggon train (23,915 men), had 263 accused and 187 condemned ; the engin eers (5,985 in number) had 40 accused and 26 condemned; the waggon train, &c. (4,19 0 men), had 39 acc use d an d 22 condemned ; the companies of superannuated sol diers, or veterans (51, 442 m en) had 50 accused and 38 e c o n n se d d e naind 3 ned;cottilledemin:eddic;althstaff military( 1,37 men) had 4 schools,ac accused, tsub-offi cers, who were acquitted ; the officers of th e m ili tary admi nistration, 695 in number , had no t a single accused ; the recruiting depots had 1,107 and 579 condemned ; and the companies of discip line, 1,600 strong, 103 accused and 72 condemned.

A NECDOTE S OF .. TIIE LATE SIR JOHN BAILEY.—This excellent Judge was amiable in his re proofs, as the following two anecdot es w ill show—in deed, it was difficult for him to say or do anything with out exhibiting the kindness and benevolence o f hi s h eart. A number of years ago, when trying a cause in the then Court of King's Bench, some barristers were loud in their conversation ; on which his Lordship, addressing the one whose voice was more distinct than the others, said, .6 fir. when yon fill the seat I occupy, and for which your talents will enable you, you will then know how difficult it is to take the evidence when gentle men are talking so loud." On another occasion his Lord ship tried an old woman at Appleby, hi the Northern Circuit, for stealing a few pies. She was convicted, and in sentencing her to a few days imprisonment he very feelingly said, For aught you know, prisoner, those pies were all the poor man had in the world, and it was very wrong of you to take them. _ You ha ve h ad a good character, a nd I ahall only send you to prison for a few days." Two trading vessels were stranded on Sunday morning near the entrance to Newhaven h ar b our. O ne a smack, and the John and William of krighton, laden with corn. As the tide flowed the vessel was driven to. , wards land, and the crew, who were obliged to take to the rigging, were eventually saved. The damage to the vessel and cargo is, however, to a eousithrEtwo SPIRIT of the PUBLIC J6URNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—If any person imagine that we could ever be indifferent to such a calamitous occurrence as a war between England and America, or that we could ever indulge in such indiscreet provocations as by any pos sibility might chafe the Federal Government into a pas sionate and unreasonable temper, we can only say that our recent strictures on the relative position of the two countries have been strangely misunderstood, and that the allegation that the Transatlantic Ministers are capable, under any circumstances, of being twitted into open hostilities by the ,fren and fearless opinions of a British journal, implies certainly a much severer reflec tion upon them than anything we have ventured to pen. The fact is, we have never spoken disrespectfully of the Central American Administration in any shape or form ; and for the very obvious reason, that, as far as Mr. 11PLeod's 'case is 'concerned, upon which alone we can be supposed to have piqued them, their declared sentiments are in perfect unison with our own. Of Mr. Webster's letter to Mr. Crittenden, demonstrating the utter impossibility of reconciling M`Lood's detention and trial with the principles of inter national law, we have repeatedly expressed ourselves in the most favourable terms. Equally complimentary were our remarks upon a speech to the same purpose, delivered in Congress by Mr. John Quincy Adams. Neither did we omit to praise the highly constitutional doctrine contained in President Tyler's proclamation re lative to the recent conspiracies on the northern frontier. On all' the principal 'features of M‘Leod's case, even as regards the vital disability of the Republican 'Union in not having invested itself with supreme power beer its subordinate States, the Federal authorities and our selves are completely :agreed ; nor have we uttered any reproaches itgainst the' refractory province of New York, which the Washington Cabinet have not im plicitly sanctioned, if not in equally plain words (a freedom that could hardly be expected), at least by milder intimations too intelligible to.- be misunder stood. But while we have uniformly made a just dis tinction between the conduct of the Central Administra tion and that of the New York incendiaries, our animad versions upon the latter, abundantly sustained by reason, have beyond doubt been given with a severity, not one particle of which do we see it necessary to retract. The persons who happen to have the dignity of that State in their indifferent keeping have done everything that in sanity itself could .suggest to plunge their country into war. Never have we swerved from the opinion, that let them do what they will to appease their irrational ven geance against M'Leod, the life and liberty of our in jured countrymen are perfectly safe in the hands of the upright Federal ; Government, with whom alone Great Britain is concerned for the maintenance of her national honour. The circumstance that Mr. Fox has so long consented to remain at Washington without demanding his passports is to us sufficient evidence that, happen what may between the Cen tral Administration and the State of New York, the eventual liberation of M'Leod is absolutely secured. If any war shall arise from that person's treatment, it will be a war, in the first instance, not between America and England, but between the Washihgton Cabinet and the insubordinate authorities of New York. The Pre sident of the United States and his responsible col leagues in the General Government have assured this country that no consideration on earth can induce them to sanction the sacrifice of Mr. M'Leod. .As far as con cerns the question of peace or war between the two coun tries, this solemn declaration on the part of the Ameri can Government is quite enough for us. What the fussy dignities of New Yoll have thought fit to do, in the way of performing a judicial burlesque at Utica, we care not a pin's fee. All the array of evidence they can muster against the prisoner —all the mock solemnity with which they can invest their proceedings, either by the rejection of jurors who scruple about capital punishments, or by prolonging the trial w ith i nnumera bl e examine nations and dignified adjournments for dinner—all the stern abjurations of the dreadful Attorney-General—and all the elaborate impartiality of their presiding Judge— may be very satisfactory to their own vanity or vindic tiveness, but cannot ba viewed at Washington and London with any other feelings than these of supreme contempt. Even the inhabitants of Utica seem to be well aware of the farcical nature of the prosecution, for, instead of that intense excitement which it was expected to awaken in the town, few people have had the curiosity to attend the trial ; and instead of there being any necessity to protect M'Leod from the mob, ho is daily processioned, at one o'clock, from the Court to his mutton-broth amidst the huzzas 'of half-a-dozen urchins, 10 or •12 years old. These insignificant meddlers may do what they like with M'Leod, as far as evidence or sentence is concerned. With the perfect agreement sub sisting between the British and American Cabinets as to the absolute necessity of preserving him harmless, it is all one to Britain whether they find him guilty or inno cent. On these grounds we had read their proceedings during the first three days of our countryman's pretended trial without a particle of interest. Unless Mr. Fox have grieveusly betrayed his trust, the American Go vernment is pledged, at all hazards, to secure M'Leod's deliverance, and, therefore, off lie must come in perfect triumph, with the good leave of the New Yorkers or without it. But, in point of fact, judging from the tes timony they have yet adduced, which is probably the strongest they are able to suborn, there is no direct evi 61ence whatever to inculpate M'Leod ut all. Only one of their numerous witnesses has pretended to identify his person ; and could we bring ourselves to analyse the compound of hesitation and faltering assurance involved in that deponent's hard swearing, we might without difli `culty conclusively show that his professed confidence is unworthy of a moment's credit. But we do not choose to take this trouble with the New Yorkers. We make them perfectiy welcome to any conviction, or to any ver dict they may happen to take a fancy for. In truth, we have marvellously little respect for the New Yorkers. Nay, if we have any wish whatever in regard to their contemptibl' , "resumption, it is really the termagant one that they may find M'Leod gu ilty. Our confidence rests with unwavering firmness upon the prudence, justice, and integrity of their betters—the Sovereign. Government of America—for which we entertain, as becomes us, the most unfeigned respect. CHRONICLE.—The proceedings upon the trial of M'Leod, down .to the middle of the third day, will be found fully detailed in another part of our paper, from the second and third editions of yesterday's Chronick. The only point fully established.by the mass of evidence published by the New. York papers is, that the steamer Caroline was undeniably a pirate boat, and that the ter ritory in the waters of which she was destroyed had no snore title to be regarded as " neutral," than had Navy Island itself. As to the inculpation of M'Leod, not a particle of direct evidence has as yet been elicited to connect him with the justifiable expedition of the 29th of December. The first witness examined was the owner of the steamer, a Mr. Wells, who, from his own ac count, most richly deserved to have been drifted down the Falls with his own " speculation." The charac ter of this fellow, and of the service in Which he was engaged, have been the subject of correspondence, we believe, between the two Governments—that of the United States insisting that he was " a fair trader," en gaged in his regular and lawful traffic. Let us hear his own story, which we shall endeavour to disentangle from his prevarications, and put in a consecutive form. It will be borne in mind that the Caroline was burned on the 29th of December. " Upon the 26th of Decem ber," says Mr. Wells, " I was on Navy Island for three or four hours. There were then about 250 men there, I saw ten or elevea pieces of cannon. The cannon were on wheels, some pointed towards the British side. Van Ransellaer was tliere in 'command. I went from Schlos ser in a sail-boat. I do not pretend, to say that I made a regular charge for passengers that day, but I received eight or ten dollars for passengers. I do not Minh I received anything for the freight of the cannon. I heard a good deal of firing there. I saw Van Ransellaer, Mr. Chassin, and Mr. Flagg on the island. I had conversed with them before about coming down. Ido not recollect what was said about my compensa tion. I believe they said I could make money out of it. There was a " Committee of Thirteen" in Buffalo. It was an Executive Committee to aid the Navy islanders. 141 r. Phelps acted as Commissary, I believe. Phelps was the one I conversed with about going down with the boat . . . . There was a meeting at the theatre in. Buffalo, which I • attended. The declared object of the meeting was to assist the Navy islanders." Thus far we have it—that on the 26th this Mr. Wells, who had already attended the Allienzie meeting at the Buffalo Theatre, went to Navy Island in a sail-boat with a freight of cannon for the insurgents ; that he there entered into negotiations with the chiefs of the rebels, being well aware of the nature of the service in which for " compensation" he was engaging. On the evening of the 26th his bargain having been con- EP eluded, the pirate returns to Buffalo to get the steamer ready to fulfil his new engagements. The navigation had already closed some time, and it was not for any regular business of a trader the boat would at that season have been cut out of the ice. She is cut out on the 27th or 28th ; her proprietor " understanding that a bond of indemnity was to be given." In fact the bond was partly signed, five out of twenty who were to be parties to it having signed." " Indemnity" for what, Mr. Wells ? Is is usual to get bonds of indemnity from political societies to cover fair commercial speculations ? And yet this brigand had the coolness to " make application to the Government of the United States for payment for his boat," and he. " does not un derstand that she will not be paid for if she was engaged in the Navy Island affair, but the con trary." On the 28th, two days after the bargain on Navy Island, the steamer is brought down to Schlosser and _took in her cargo. " Among the freight from Schlosser was a six-pounder cannon on two wheels. Ail that were there helped to get it on board. I took a horse from Schlosser. There were provisions. There were some muskets. Ido not know how many. There might have been a hundred." But it is needless to dwell fur ther upon this evidence. It establishes. heyond all pos sibility of cavil or quibble the character of the boat, and the guilty knowledge of the owner and crew. No principle is more clearly established in international law than that the rightgof neutral is forfeited if the duty of neutral be violated. Now, the weight of this whole mass of evi dence goes distinctly to prove that the whole of that part of the American frontier in which these occurrences took place was in. a state of actual hostility with Great Britain. Expeditions were fitted out. Men, arms, ammunition, provisions Were collected upon and
