SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The complaints of the New York Cham ber of Commerce found expression, if not an exact echo, last night in the House of Commons. A dis cussion on the proceedings of the Alabama since she steamed out of an English port, unarmed, on a "pleasure excursion," was inevitable ; and no one can regret that it has taken place, if the explana tions tend to altsy the angry feeling excited in America by what this ship in the hands of Captain Semmes has done to damage the commercial in terests of the North. The anger is most natural, and full allowance should be made for irritation; but the most useful effect of passion is to disable the reasoning powers, and expend itself on the first ob ject at hand, when the real worker of the mischief is out of reach. When a man with small means contrives to do more with them than another can effect with tens of thousands at his command, the difference of result must be attributed to greater skill, better management, or ability of some kind which more than balances the material advantage on the other side. It is futile to blame the ship• wrights of Birkenhead for mischances and losses of which the real instruments are the extraordinary energy and daring of two ship's crews. Europe knows what they have effected with limited means, and the real djficiencyOFil; North, to which it should ascribe the damage it has sustained at sea, is the want of the qualities that have made the Ala bama and her consort so formidable. In one of the latest American despatches an opinion is expressed that the officers of the Federal navy are inferior to the Southern commanders. The misgivings, ex- changed between Mr. Adams grid Mr. gewaid are, perhaps, not unfounded. But they might be carried further. The efficiency of the Northern navy, it is admitted by the American journals, confirmed by official inquiries made too late, has been sacrificed to the inveterate spirit of jobbery that has prevailed at Washington, wasting the " boundless resources" of the North, and obtaining less war power out of them than the South has secured at comparatively small expense. The North has a fleet of nearly 400 vessels. Why has it not one that can chase and capture the Alabama ? Because, instead of building or causing to be built ships of the best material and model, merchant vessels, river steamers, and ferry boats were chartered by the score and made part of the navy, By exhausting the means of construct ing fifty Alabamas, the mercantile marine of the North swims the ocean as defenceless against the two ships of its enemy as a shoal of herrings chased by two sharks. It is impossible for any Eur3pean nation to act on the Northern theory of what neu- trality ought to be. It cannot treble its police at every seat of manufacture and at all its outports for a fruitless attempt to prohibit a contraband trade which would baffle any official vigilance ; still less can it allow one belligerent to have full access to the market and exclude the other. Mr. Laird last night struck a balance between the amount of war materials exported for the Federal Government and the two ships built for the South at Liverpool. One side has purchased cannon and rifles, the other these two ships. Both supplied the mse l ve s with what they most needed. The advantage was plainly on the side that had most money, and till recently the wealthier party had not to evade any police of the sea at all. By no precedent of inter national law are we bound to prohibit supplies of war material. We leave ships, cargoes, goods, and speculators to the risks they incur. They may be sunk burnt, and captured in transatu, and we give neither crews nor owners any protection, leaving them to be dealt with by the strength and vigilance that determines the issues of war. The Foreign Enlistment Act, it should be observed, is a statute, and to put it in force requires a prosecutor, who is bound to be provided with legal evidences of its in fraction. In the case of the Alabama it appears that this evidence could not be obtained. All that has made her dangerous has been added to her since her escape. In the condition in which she left Liver pool she might have been captured by a single gun boat, for she was only armed when far out of British jurisdiction. For her feats on the sea we cannot be made responsible, as we certainly did not sell the South either Captain Semmes or his skill. Just as little, in selling cannon and rifles to the North, did we furnish the more or less of efficiency with which they have been employed in the field. MORNING POST.—Rumours were yesterday flying about town which had their origin in the recent seizure of the Peterhoff by Admiral Wilkes. It was asserted that the law officers had given an opinion . . . that thecapture was in violation of international law, and it was also said that our fleet in the West Indian waters was to be at once largely reinforced. in short, it was assumed that we were to have another Trent affair ou our hands. We believe we are corect in stating that the rumours in question are devoid of foundation. As far as we know at pre sent, the case of the Peterhoff is not likely to as sume any alarming aspect, and it is not true that an additional force is to be despatched to the West Indian station. With regard to the course which Admiral Wilkes chose to adopt in the present information on we have yet to r ece ive official cln the subject ; but in the meantime, it is quite clear that a belligerent has a right to seize a neu tral vessel upon reason a bl e grounds of suspicion, and to carry her before a p r i z e court. If his suspi cions turn out to be groun dless, as we think it is highly probable they will in the present case, then the neutral can recover adequate damages for the seizure and for his loss of time. We do not see why any doubt should exist as t o a satisfactory issue in the ca-e of the Peterhoff. If Admiral Wilkes was in the right, there will b e no thing to complain of; if, on the contrary, he was in the wrong, the owners of the Peterhoff will of c ou rse be amply indemnified. Their case has nothing in common with the stop page of the Trent on the high seas and the forcible removal of two of her passengers without form of law. Messrs. Slidell and Mason were taken from under the protection o f our flag by the arbi trary proceeding of a n av al officer of the United States. This constituted a gross outrage on the righte of nations, and, as such, was resented by otber Powers, who felt it incumbent on them to join with ourselves in our protest against an act which menaced the freedom of every flag. The Peterhoff is, however, to be duly carried before a competent tribunal, whose decision we cannot but presume will be in accordance with that strict ex position of international law which American jurists have always set forth and observed. The matter is no doubt unpleasant, for, according to all the infor mation of which we have at present possession, the capture was effected upon an accusation which will not justify the condemnation of the vessel or her cargo. But it would be preposterous to suppose that we can properly decide on this from one-sided representations, when the whole case will be tho roughly sifted before a court to which we have no reason to take any exception, and whose duty it will be to award full and complete compensation to the owners of the ship in the event of Admiral Wilkes's failure to prove his case against her. We may, therefore, dismiss from our minds any anxiety as to a serious disturbance of our relations with the United States arising from the case that gave birth to the rumours to which we have referred. MORNING HERALD.—The steamer Peterhoff, one of a line of vessels trading between London and Matamoras, left the former port laden with a regu lar cargo, having on hoard nothing auspicious; no thing which, had she been bound for an unblockaled Confederate pot t, would have subjected her to con fiscation as carrying contraband of war. She was boarded off St. Thomas by the Federal cruiser Ala bama, which overhauled her, and endorsed on her papers the record of the visit, and the admission that her papers were regular a n d h er vo y age regular. She went into St. Thomas to obtain coal ; and on quitting that station she was seized by the Vanderbilt, under orders from Capt. Wilkes. This vessel, bound from a neutral port to a neutral port, and laden with a perfectly innocent cargo, has been captured in neutral waters and sent into Key West for adjudication by one of Mr. Lincoln's prize courts—that is, for confiscation. This is the con sequence, as Mr. Fitzgerald said, of the weakness displayed by the Government on previous occasions: of their patience under the blockade of Bermuda, and of Lord Russell's very foolish and impertinent reply to the metchants who protested against the interruption of the trade between Liverpool and Nassau. What makes the matter worse is that the name of the Peterhoff occurs in a list of suspected vessels supplied by Mr. Adams to Lord Russell, which vessels, as it appears from their own repeated assertions, the Federal cruisers have received orders from head-quarters to seize whenever and wherever they might find them. It does not appear that the Foreign Secretary gave warning to the owners of the Peterhoff; or that he warned Mr. Adams that the capture of a vessel bound for Matamoras would not be endured by Great Britain. It is evident, then, not only that the outrage was premeditated by the American Government, but that it was, as it were, sanctioned beforehand by our own. It be hoves Lord Palmerston's Government to give some explanation of their previous conduct, and some pledge as to the future ; some security that they will no longer treat with " a cold and un friendly neutrality" the quarrel of their countrymen against the Government of the United States, and that they will remember, first, that tame submis sion to wrong is worse than war, and secondly, that, in dealing with the United States, such submission only tempts fresh insult, and renders utterly im possible the maintenance of peace. DAILY NEWS..—Are we to go on building Ala bamas in this country on behalf of a Slave Power we do not recognise, and for the purpose of devas tating the commerce of a nation with whom we are on terms of amity and peace ? Ate British ship builders to be allowed to fit out and equip fighting vessels for the Confederates, and this with compaza tive if not complete impunity ? Such appears, at all events, to be the existing practice. A list of Con federate war vessels now in course of construction in this country was read openly in the House of Commons last night. The facts are notorious, the number and names of the vessels, the names of con tractors, the yards i❑ which they are being built, theirrelative stages of progress-have been authorita tively stated, and are familiar to all connected with the trade. Now the real question for the Government and the country is to consider whether this violation of our law is to go on, and if so, what will be the natural and probable result. No one doubts that the Government, by a little ordinary vigilance and a little decision, could pat a atop to this illegal traffic at once. A declaration of their determination to institute a searching inquiry and enforce obedi ence:to the law would suffice. There can hardly be two opinions as to the supreme duty of pur suing such a course. It is dictated by a regard alike for our interests and our honour. The people of this country desire nothing more earnestly than the maintenance of the friendly relations which exist between England and the United States, and- we may happily accomplish this by doing our duty in an honourable and straightforward manner. At present, undoubtedly, the Americans have a serious ground of complaint against us. We have failed to carry out our own law, and this failure has in flicted on them terrible injuries, such as inflame the passions of a people, and bring on war. We do not want war with the United States of America. It is equally opposed to our principles and our interests, and if any section or party desire to involve us in hostilities with this free, friendly, and kindred people, they are the enemies of their country. We cannot accept Lord Palmerston's exculpation of his subordinates, and we are sure that impartial ob servers in Europe will not accept it. There is not a maritime power in the world that would submit to have Alabamas fitted out in neutral ports while it was at war. We notice, however, Lord Pal merston's declaration that the English Government sincerely desires to maintain peace, and act in a fair and honourable spirit towards the Government of the United States, so that if there has been any negligence in the past, we may hope there will be no future ground of complaint on this score.

The charge of murder against John Ducker was finished at a late hour yesterday evening. The pri soner was charged with the wilful murder of Ebe nezer Tye, a police constable, at Halesworth, on the 24th of last December. His lordship summed up the case with a clearness and power that laid the whole story before the jury. After stating the law to be that if an attack was made on the prisoner without any authority justi fying it, and he made only a due amount of resist ance, it would be a case of justifiable homicide ; if the violence used in the resistance was unnecessary it would be a case of manslaughter; while if an officer had a reasonable ground for believing that a felony had been committed, he was justified in arresting, and if death resulted from resistance con sequent upon the arrest, then it would be murder; went on to analyze the evidence, and assuming that death was caused by violence in a conflict between two men, said the question whether the prisoner was the man would depend, first, on the conduct of the prisoner up to the time of the conflict, and, secondly, after it. He then showed the effect of the evidence given by witnesses who had heard foot steps, voices, scuffiings, and groans, as well as of that describing the state of his clothes on this part of the charge ; and then—with reference to the point whether this was a case of i ammicide, man slaughter, or murder—directed the jury that justi fiable homicide was out of the question, left it to them to decide upon the more serious question of murder or manslaughter, as to which two facts were most important—first, that the deceased con stable was set by his oflioer to watch the prisoner ; and, next, that the hay, the broom, and the sweep ing in front of the house were elements in the con bider ation of the felonious conduct of the prisoner, in which the identity of the hay was all-important. If the prisoner was engaged in taking the hay, or if there was a third person bringing it and leaving it at the prisoner's, and then Tye tried to arrest him, he was justified in doing so, because he was committing a felony. If the jury should think the death was caused by the prisoner, it would be for them to consider whether there was anything to reduce the crime from murder to manslaughter ; then, if the constable had reasonable cause for be lieving a felony had been or was being committed, the prisoner would be guilty of murder. The jury, after having been in deliberation for three-quarters of an hour, returned it4to court, and, amid the deep silence of the audience, gave their verdict of guilty of murder. His Lordship, assuming the black cap, sentenced the prisoner to death, adding, " The evidence shows that with deliberate malice you planned the death of Ebenezer Tye. I can hold out no hope, and I see none for you." The prisoner is a very remarkable man in appear ance, broad in figure, with a most determined looking cast of countenance ; and, except for a minute, as the verdict was given, he never flinched or seemed moved during the whole trial. About a year and a half ago the policeman Tye was most severely wounded in an affray with two thieves, whom he had been set to watch, and so gallant was his conduct then that he received a reward from the Court. Isaac Humphery surrendered to his bail, and was charged with feloniously discharging a gun at Isaac Reed, with intent to murder, at Polstead, on the 6th December, 1861. Mr. Bulwer and Mr. Stephenson were counsel for the prosecution ; Mr, O'Malley, Q.C., and Mr. Or ridge defended the prisoner. The case has excited very great interest in the district from which it comes, as much from the re spectability of the prisoner, who is a farmer and owner of upwards of 300 acres in this county, as from the peculiar character of the evidence and the length of time that had elapsed between the com mission of the offence and the trial. The story of the prosecution, which was supported by the evidence, was to this effect—that Reed, the prosecutor, who had been running with the hounds during the day in question, went in the evening to a public house called the Shoulder of Mutton, and having to pass a somewhat lonely spot on his road home, called King Harry's-grove, which was a sort of spinney protected from the road by a bank and ditch, suddenly felt himself struck, and immediately heard the report of a gun. He called out that he was shot, dropped his stick, and fell on the ground ; but just at the time he was fall ing he saw, as he swore, the figure of a tall man rise out of the ditch upon the brow of the bank, and there disappear. He managed to get home, but fainted away from loss of blood, and on the surgeon visiting him there was no doubt that he was most severely hurt by a gunshot wound. The night was dark and very rainy, and the time at which the transaction took place was about a quarter past 6. To connect the prisoner with the charge the following facts were deposed to by several witnesses :—ln the first place he was as one of them, at that time a labourer in his employ, said, moving about his own premises at a quarter past 5 dressed in a long white coat, reaching down to his heels, and was also seen by this man leaving his farm and going towards King Harry's-grove; secondly, he was observed by two witnesses not only close to the publichouse above mentioned at about 6 pin,, but close to the taproom window looking in (Reed being at that. time in it), which place he left about 10 minutes past 6; thirdly, two witnesses, who knew him well, and were com ing in such a direction along the road from Reed's house that they must pass the grove, stated that they saw a man dressed in a long white coat, and one of them said "That's old Buck" (a nickname he went by), whereupon he jumped into the ditch. In the next place, he was seen and identified on the road towards the prosecutor's ho use about the time speci fied above, and going on towards King Harry's-grove. While, lastly, it was shown by a plan of the place, which was produced, and proved that it would be quite out of his way to go past King Harry's-grove to his own house from the Shoulder of Mutton pub lichouse. But by none of the witnesses who passed and saw him was any gun observed iu his hands, the prosecution accounting for that by the darkness of the night and the facility his dress afforded for concealment. It was also proved that on the morn ing after the occurrence he was visited by the police, whose suspicions were turned to him because of the known ill-feeling between himself and the prosecutor, and in answer to the questions put, said he had not been out of the house on the night in question. The motive for committing such an act was a strong ill-feeling on his part towards Reed, arising out of disputes and lawsuits; and Reed's wife was called to prove that he had on one occa sion said to her, "- you ; I'll lay you and your husband low;" and another witness spoke to this expression of his against Reed, "- him ; I wish I had him dead, and then there would not have been this trouble." Besides the above facts and the expressions just mentioned, there was evidence of dome boots used by him, cleaned in the afternoon, and found dirty next morning, and also of footmarks across some fields near Kiug Harry's-grove. For the defence it was elicited in cross-examination that most of the witnesses were strongly prejudiced against the prisoner by quarrels and lawsuits, in all of which the prisoner was victorious. It was also shown that he was most unpopular in the neigh bourhood. Mr. O'Malley, in his address to the jury, pointed out to them the length of time that had elapsed since the transaction, the fact that every circum stance connected with the affair was known to the police within a few hours after it had happened, the weakness of the evidence as to the footmarks, and the varied statements of the policemen on this point, the fact that motive was wanting, because the prisoner had always bad the best of it in his suits, and malice is borne by those who lose, not by those who win, and commented generally on the improbable nature of the story as affecting the pri soner. After a most careful summing up, The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner was sentenced to penal servitude for NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LIVERPOOL, March 27. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) Levi Taylor, a youth of 18, was indicted for the murder of his wife, Mary Ann Taylor, on the 31st January last, in Manchester. Mr. Sowler, who opened the case for the prose cution, said that this was one of the most melan choly cases of murder which had ever been brought before the notice of a jury; but if he proved the facts laid down in his instructions there could be no doubt as to the conclusion which the jury would form. It was the case of a young man of 18, who up to a particular day had lived reputably and com fortably with his mother at Failsworth, but who one Saturday afternoon in October last left that place to spend his half holiday in Manchester. There he met with the deceased, an abandoned wo man, who persuaded him to go with her. He did so, and unhappily fell in love with her. His friends remonstrated with him several times, but in spite of their remonstrances after the lapse of a few weeks he married the girl, and took her home. He hoped, no doubt, to induce her to abandon her evil courses, but after staying for a short time with her husband at Failsworth, she deserted him, went back to Manchester, and resorted to her old haunts. Taylor followed her from time to time, and did all he could to reclaim her, but unfortunately her moral character was too far gone. On the 27th January the deceased entered the service of a person named Schofield, who kept a part beerhouse and a part disorderly house, called the Jolly Hatters, in Shude-hill, Manchester. The prisoner discovered this, and followed his wife to Schofield's, where he saw her on the 28th, on the 29th, on the 30th, and finally on the 31st. Shortly after 2 o'clock on the afternoon of the 31st, the deceased, the prisoner, and several other persons were assembled in the tap-room. Taylor asked a female friend of the de ceased, who was present, to play on the organ. This led to drink being called for, and some little dispute took place between the deceased and the prisoner in consequence of his not ordering any liquor fot her. After this he did. Subsequently Taylor said he must go by a train at half-past four, and he asked hie wife to leave the room and go upstairs with him for the purpose of taking leave. When they got up stairs the prisoner induced the deceased to lie down on one of the beds, and she had scarcely done so when he put his hand under her chin, and taking out a knife which he had ready in his pocket, he cut her throat, As soon as this was done she managed to get off the bed and out of the room. She went down stairs, and into a room where the landlord was lying upon a sofa. She tried to speak, but could not do so. About the same time the pri soner presented himself to the landlord, and asked leave to go into the yard to wash his hands. His hands were covered with blood. The woman was conveyed to the infirmary, where she died almost immediately. A knife, covered with blood, was afterwards found in an outhouse in the yard. In fact, when - apprehended, the prisoner told the officer that he had gone into the bedroom with the determination of putting an end to his wife's life, even if he should swing for it, and that if the officer would search a particular portion of the yard at Schofield's house, he world find the knife with which the deed had been executed. The evidence of the surgeon would leave no doubt as to the cause of death, as the internal and external jugular arte ries had been cut through. Evidence having been given in support of the above facts, The jury, after consulting for about ten minutes, returned a verdict of guilty, with a recommenda tion to mercy. His Lordship passed sentence of death in the usual form, and the prisoner, who become insen sible, was carried below by two officers. Mrs. Jessie Black, wife of Lieutenant Black, pleaded guilty this evening to an indictment charging her with robbery of jewellery, the pro perty of military officers at Fullwood-barracks. She was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. RECENT WILLS AND BEUESTS.

THE LATE RIOTS. STALEYBRIDGE, Friday. There has been no renewal of the late disturb ances, but out of the 13 adult schools in the town only three have as yet accepted the proposal of the committee, that the relief should be given half in money and half in kind, by tickets on shopkeepers. The scholars of the central school, many of whom are Irish, have to-day declined the proposal. This afternoon they were invited, and attended in con siderable number, to meet Sir J. K. Shuttleworth at the Town-hall, to hear an address from him on the subject. The Mayor and Mr. Commissioner Farnall were present. The latter took no part in the proceedings. spe S e i c r h j ,. rtv. i S e w H e u d T T h E : O m ß e T a s n u , r i e n s t w h e h c c o h u rhs had d of been adopted for the relief of the distress in Lancashire by contributions from all parts of the empire, and the great exertions that had been made by all classes with that object, especially by ladies. The £1,000,000 or £1,200,00 that had been subscribed would certainly not have been forthcoming, nor probably £lOO,OOO, had it been supposed that the working classes of Lancashire were impatient under trials which were the fault of no class in the coun try, or ready, as in former times, to rise at the in stigation of any ignorant, selfish, or passionate agi tators. The relief given in the neighbourhood of Ashton and Staleybridge had keen in excess of that in almost any other parts of the county. It had be come necessary to take measures for the im partial apportionment of the relief funds. He be lieved the proposed reduction of 4d. per head in the payment to those attending school was generally acquiesced in. With regard to the opposition to distribution of relief by ticket, he believed that there was no such difficulty as had been alleged in ob taining change from shopkeepers for the tickets; but whatever might be the grievances, the complainants had not, as it behoved them to do, made in the first place a temperate representation of them to the local committee. The authors of the late disturbances had done not only themselves but the working classes of the wholo of Lancashire a deep and last ing injury. They had produced an impression which would add force to the views of those who were anxious to reduce the political power of this district, to represent the district as of no importance to the commonweal, but rather an element of disorder, tumult, and danger than of strength and security. Those who entertained the sanguine hopes that had been expressed by the friends of the working men, that they had hire, based upon increased intelligence and increasing sense of public duty and respect for property, a stabler condition of society than existed in any other part of the empire, would re ceive from all sides the rebuke of scorn and disbe lief in consequence of those riots in Staleybridge. The manly, patient, and intelligent conduct of the working classes of Lancashire formed one of the most powerful practical arguments for the exten sion of the electoral franchise. But now if any man desired to find an objection to that argument he would say, " that is a delusion, these men are for the time being quiet, but they cannot resist the pressure of the evil consequent upon dependence ; let them for a few months be dependent upon the bounty of the public, let them for a few months have to suffer privation, and to live upon only one third of their earnings, let them for a few months be dis sociated from the discipline of the mill, and the ordinary regulations under which their life has in times past been spent, and they are like children, they quarrel with the first diffi culty they encounter ; being incapable of rea soning, they act with insensate passion, disturb the peace, violate property, rob shops, disturb and injure defenceless people, they assault the house where a sick woman has since died, and, insensible of the degradation of insulting a woman, they cause loss of life by their violence and insensate animo sity." Sir James concluded by advising the atten dants at the school, on reflection, to accept the com promise that had been offered them by the commit tee. He read them the substance of the following address from the Central Executive Committee to the operatives of Staleybridge and their families : " We have been entrusted with large funds for the relief of distress, and we are distributing them with every sym pathy for your wants, and with every care for your welfare; those funds cannot be claimed by any particular district, but are to be given where we think it best, taking into considera tion distress, good behaviour, and local circumstances gene rally. We deplore the disturbances which have recently occurred. We hope they are not shared in by a very large number. If they are continued, we know that there are many elsewhere who will gratefully receive all we can afford them ; and the Boards of Guardians, the ordinary channels of relief, arc always open to others. We, therefore, appeal to all among you, who value our relief, to aid us in our wish to continue it to you. We beg you, consequently, to avoid and discourage meetings which may lead to disturb ances, and to assist, to the utmost of your power, the local authorities and others, whose duty is the preservation of order for the good of all. We deeply sympathise in your distress ; none of us know how long it may last. We must, therefore, be prudent in distributing that relief which the generosity of tho public has given, but which disturbance will cause to cease. Unless order is duly preserved, mat ters must pass from our hands into those of the constituted authorities of the country, " Signed for the Committee, "JAMES P. KAY-SHUTTLEWORTH, Vice-President. " WILLIAM MACLUILE, Honorary Secretary." The Rev. Mr. HILTON, Roman Catholic, was ad en this report was des dressing the meeting patched. It is understood that a meeting of the school at tendants will take place to-morrow morning, to re consider the question. The reference in one of the c oncluding passages of Sir J. Shuttleworth's speech was to Mrs. Bate!, the mother of the secretary of the local Relief Com mittee, whose house was attacked by the m o b, where the lady was lying ill, Mrs. Bates divd twig morning.
