The purchasing of the newly-erected premises known as the Hol , orn Horse and Carriage Repository, and enlarg ing and impr( ving, - the same by the purchase or renting of adjoining property. 2d. To carry on tusiness by the sale of Horses, Dogs, Carriages, Harness, and other similar property, by auction or on commission. 3d, To fit up, open, rent, or build a suitable establishment as a Turf Subscription Room upon terms to be agreed by the directors. The necessity for such a Repository upon a large scale has become matter of notoriety, and it is daily becoming more PParent that some means must be taken to give increased f acility for the sale of Horses. Dogs, Carriages, Harness , and Saddlery, or the year, as it is an undoubted fact that. during six m o n ths it is necessary for persons having Horses for sale at the existing establishments to maice applications for Stalls at least a month or six weeks privious to an intended sale, to the very grea t i n convenience of those who may wish to dis pose of their Horses promptly. The enor ous business and successful operations of the few lteposi , odes in London (with only private capital em ployed).fford the strongest grounds for the bell , f that a wel - conducted Company, with an ample Capital, carried out with skill and nb rprise, cannot fail to insure a large and profi table business, resulting in a handsome dividend to the Shareholders. The situation of the Repository within half a mile of the Central Railway Stati , n in Farringdon-street, will afford pecul ar facilities for the safe arrival and removal of horses and carrigges from and to every part of the country, and will obviate the existing danger and Inconvenience in conveying valuable aulmals to a distance through the crowd, d streets of London. The Company propose to make advances on property sent In for ab olute sale, and the vendors of all lots sold without warranty may receive the proceeds the day after the sale. The Company also pro, ose keeping a registry for sales by private treaty. It is confidently anticipated, as the result of careful calcu latiou by persons of experience, that when the advantages of the establishment become fully known, a profit to the Share holders may be realised of from 20 to 30 per cent. The Shares of the Company have been fixed at the low amount of £5 per Share (ot which the Directors are of opinion that no more than £1 per Share will ever be requi - ed to be called up), in order that the Shares may be taken n by as great a number of persons as possible, and thus at once to ensure a large business connexion to the Company. Applications for Shares most be made in the annexed form, and a deposit of 10s. per share must be raid to the Comp , ny's nankers, or to the Secretary, for which a receipt wal be given. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be obta•ned at the Tem t orary Offices of the Company, or of the Broke' s. FORT OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

Transportation to Western Australia. The following is a copy of the memorial presented on Thursday by a deputation of colonists from Wes tern Australia and others connected with that colony to the Duke of Newcastle on the continuance of t ransportation : " My Lord Duke,—We, the undersigned, owners of land and employers of labour, merchants, and others interested in the colony of Western Australia, beg most respectfully to lay before your Grace a few facts connected with the subject of transportation to the colony. " Encouraged by the patient and attentive con sideration wbich you have ever given on occasions when we have solicited the same favours, we have the greater confidence in again availing ourselves of your Grace's consideration from the fact that the subject on which we desire to address you is just now one of more titan colonial importance and is engaging the serious attention, as it affects the wel fare, of the kingdom at,large. "Her Majesty having named a special commis sion to inquire' into the operations of the Acts re lating to transportation and penal servitude, and into the manner in which sentences of transporta tion and of penal servitude have been and are car ried into effect under the provisions of the said Acts or any of them,' we venture to suggest that the colony which we represent is in every way suited to receive convicts on a large and comprehensive scale. " The system is already organised to a great ex tent, and has been found to work satisfactorily as far as it has gone. The convicts, 'separated from old associations and vicious companionship, have a chance of redeeming their characters and of begin ning a new atd better career, while their compul sory labour is much needed in works to which it is difficult to get free settlers to apply themselves, the making of roads and bridges calculated to open up the internal communication and to develope the great mineral and other natural wealth of the country. "Substantial prisons and depots have been already built, and every provision made to receive a large number of convicts, and to keep them in proper em ployment and control. The cost of their mainten ance is considerably lower than it would be in the mother country (as appears by the last official re turn for 1861, showing the sum of £45,013 voted for the whole convict service in Western Australia, the total number of convict ana ticket-of-leave men being 1848). " The d)fficulties in the way of escape are almost insurmountable, and the neighbouring settlements need have no apprehension Irom the propinquity of e(,l fink r; and surrounded by natural bar of su:l tt to, mida Mt character as Western Au,ti-aila—m-piaa , td by sea or by impenetrable bush—so peculiarly afford. 9. In proof of the success of the means adopted for controlling the convicts and repressing crime, we bug to call your Grace's attention to the following passage in the report of the Toodgay Agricultural Society, read at the annual meeting in Oct. last : " ' In reporting on the moral condition of the district your committee have much satisfaction in staling that with the exception of one man committed for trial for forgery, and an escaped probation prisoner convicted of cattle steal ing, the cases in the district poliee court have all been of a trifling nature. This in a widely scattered district like To bdgay (about 150 miles long by 60 broad) speaks well for the conduct of the population here, considering so large an area has but one sergeant and one constable of police for its protection.' " We also desire to submit to your Grace some remarks bearing immediately upon the subject in the report of the York Agricultural Society, issued in the same month, and to the following effect : " The subject of labour must always be a matter of great importance to a district like this. It is a singular fact that, although there are many men roaming from one point of the district to another with the ostensible purpose of obtaining employment, there is scarcely a good agricultural labourer or man capable of taking charge of teams to be found among them. " Your committee, in their report last year, were of opinion that the Government should be solicited to return to the ticket-of-leave and hiring depot system in vogue some years ago, and they feel confident that if this system were carried out to a full extent not only the district would be greatly benefited but a much greater facility would be given for obtaining better and more suitable men. Thepre sent rate of wages to farm servants averages from £lB to £24 per annum ; shepherds, £3O and upwards, with rations. Your committee, while alluding to this subject. feel bound to state that many of the ticket-of-leave holders and condi tion al-pardon men that are in this district have proved very useful and good farm servants.' _ _ . " Many of the gentlemen who have signed this memorial can bear to stimonv, of their own personal observation and knowledge, that numbers of con victs who have served their time of punishment or probation in the colony have not only become re formed characters but are themselves employers of labour, and honourably assisting in the develop ment of the great national resources of the colony. " Finally, we beg to sum up the advantages which appear in our opinion to recommend West ern Australia to the attention of her Majesty's Go vernment as a convict colony. Its comparative isolation an; the difficulties it prevents in the wa3 of escape ; the success which has attended the sys tem already established ; the cheapness of p-ovi sions and corer quent tummy in the maintenance of criminals ; the desire cif the colonists for an ex tension of transportation ; the adequate means al ready prepared and expenses incurred for providing f:•( «net t.ceuriug a much larger number of men that nas 7, - et been sent ; the ample scope for their eat ptoyme ut in wiaks essential to the profitable prose- LUXURIANT Wilt SKERS, Motisteehes, snd Eyebrows produced in a few weeks by the use of E LLIOTT'S TONIC Lt T lON, t' e stimulative properties of which are unia limy, in their operation.

They propose to blot out State lines. To the Government? They ignore the laws of Con gress, and scorn the decisions of the Supreme Court. To the President P They propose to depose him if he do not obey them." But Mr. Lincoln will not drive them to any such extremity; he knows that they are logically right ; that his proclamations for the abolition of slavery in the South are as idle and worthless as Mr. Jefferson Devis's proclamation for the hanging of Gen. Butler; that the South has made itself a nation ; and that the time has come for the North to do likewise, or prepare the way for a third dismemberment. If Mr. Lincoln had the civic courage (and civic courage is the great thing wanting in this country) to act upon this convic tion, and boldly proclaim to the people that the time had come for a great National Convention to decide the question of peace, boundaries, and a Customs union between the two republics, he might even now make a mark in history and take his place among great men. But he has not the courage. He believes that the North must fight out the fight as best it may—neither conquering nor conquered— until some respectful offer of mediation from a friendly European Power shall extricate him and the nation from a difficulty which national pride on the one hand and Executive cowardice on the other will permit neither to take the slightest step for removing, except in the battlefield. If this be not Mr. Lincoln's private belief, he acts as if it were. Awaiting the issues of battle—which to use an expressive Americanism, will speedily " thunder all around," at Charleston, at Wilmington, atVicksburg, at Port Hudson, in the heart of Tennessee and Ar kansas, everywhere except on the road to Richmond, Mr. Horace Greeley, and not the President, hes be come the hero of the hour and the master of thesitua tion. It is not what the President thinks, but what Mr. Greeley recommends, that attracts the public at tention, and sets critical tongues and pens at work throughout the Federal North. Mr. Greeley has lost heart in the struggle. If the war languish be tween this and the let of May; if the North do not conquer the Southern armies, capture the Southern cities, and effectually crush the rebellion before that day, with or without the aid of the negroes, he re commends that ti a North should cease the useless conflict, and make the best terms it can. He has been to Washington to urge these views upon the President, he has conferred with influential men even in the Democratic ranks, and is publicly ac cused by his literary rivals of having had inter views with the French Ambassador, to court the mediation of the Emperor Napoleon. Three or foul weeks ago he stated his willingness, if the fate and fortune of war should continue as hcpelessly ad verse as ever to all the efforts of the Federal arms, to accept the friendly mediation of the Swiss Re public. From these opinions, though attacked with every epithet of abuse that the American dialect of the English language can supply, he has never swerved, unless it have been to substitute France for Switzerland as her most available friend and peace maker. His hopes of final military triumphs may have been greater on some d Ays than on other; but since the battle of Fredericksburg he has been honourably persistent in maintaining that there must be a limit to the war, and that if the success so ardently longed for does not speedily bless the Federal arms, it is alike wisdom, duty, and true patriotism to accept the hostile verdict of the world and of circumstances, and to cease the further shed ding of American blood. " If," he says, " three months more of earnest fighting shall not serve to make a serious impression on the rebels—if the end of that term shall find us no further advanced than its beginning—if some malignant fate has decreed _ ... ...

To day, in answer to the charge that be had consulted M. Mercier and Mr. Vallandigham on the subject, a charge which he denies, he reiterates his opinion in terms that admit of none but wilful misinterpre tation. " The war," be says, " has entered upon a phase which, in all probability, must prove final. We are upon the eve of movements, combinations, attacks, and battles whereof the result must be well nigh decisive." He adds that if, contrary to his hope and expectation, the South should gain the victory in the general results of th:s decisive campaign, " impartial third parties will say that we ought to consent to peace on the best attainable terms." " In short," he believes that " the time will come (he does not say how soon, as that depends on the issues of conflicts yet in the future) when the great Powers of Europe will mediate, not by blows or menaces, but by representations against a continuance of the struggle as fruitless, wasteful butchery, and urge a settlement in the interests of humanity and com merce." Mr. Greeley, in saying as much as this, is the boldest public man in America, and his boldness is of the more account and significancy because of the unmistakable control which he exercises over the mind of the President. What, it may be asked, has led Mr. Greeley to speak of peace so gravely, and to curb, or endeavour to curb, the rampant madness of the Abolition party, of which he has so long been a spokesman and a leader? Ia it the corruption engendered by tho war ? The appaling weight of the public debt which has been and is to be contracted ? The incompetency or im becility of the Administration ? The arbitrary acts of the War Secretary ? The blundering of the Generals ? Or the general unsuccess of the Federal cause ? One or all of these things may have opera ted on his mind, but the principal cause of his want of faith is that he is desillusionnc on the subject of negro emancipation and the negro himself. He urged the President to pay his last, as he thought, his best card ; and the card bas not won the trick. He was honestly of opinion that the proclamation of free dom to the slaves would end the war ; that it would cripple and exhaust the South, be hailed by Europe 1 with gratitude and respect, not only as a noble act of philanthropy and statesmanship, but as a legiti mate mode of warfare, and accepted readily by the whole North as a legitimate weapon and a fair issue. In all these anticipations he has been cruelly disap pointed. He not only misjudged the South, but he misunderstood the negro, and, worse perhaps than either, he imagined in the honesty and simplicity of his heart that a majority of the Northern people really cared for the freedom of the slave, or were willing to accord social and political rights to a race whom if they do not hate they certainly dispise. He has discovered his error. He is disappointed in Eu rope and his own people. He finds that he is in advance of his age, that his notions upon black men are not the notions of America, that he has imbibed his ideas of negro equality from English literature, and not from actual American life ; and that on this great and vital question he is in hope less antagonism with public opinion. So little, it appears, war he acquainted with the history of the race of whom he has made himself the champion that he never read until a fortnight ego the history of the massacre of St. Domingo.

Henry Ward Beecher, the it ev. Dr, Cheever, ) 74 3 ' _. --mot PRICE .4d. STAMPED ....sd. and a newer and fiercer convert than either of them the Rtv. Dr. Bellows, will cease preaching a war of extermination against the Southern people for their perversity in not seeing the way clear to immediate and unconditional emancipation. These reverend gentletren require enlightenment in the humanity as well as the ethnology of the question which they discuss; or one of their number, the Rev. E. S. Best, of Milford, in Massachusetts, would not have made himself so offensive to the instincts, if not to the reason of the white race, to which it is supposed he belongs, as to urge publicly from his pulpit the in termarriage of the blacks and whites on this conti nent as the best thing that could happen to both races. This gentleman, in a recently published ser mon, revised by himself, says— " Every one who has given the least attention to this subject sees that great climatic changes take place in the inhabitants of every nationality who settle on these shores. The African becomes bleached —the Caucasian gets browned. The time will yet come when this difference in colour will be difficult to trace. This blending of the two races is just what is needed for the perfecting of both. Give the Anglo-American, with his lofty genius, his tireless energy, and indomitable perseverance, the warm heart, the gushing sensibilities, and the firm religious faith of the African• American, and you have the highest, noblest, and most godlike specimen of humanity. Such a race will yet con stitute the real people of America. Here the human race will reach its loftiest destiny, and this nation become the glory of all lands—the place which, above all others, shall most resemble Heaven, and be the nearest to it." Perhaps this reverend person is himself a black man; or, if a white mar., he may have taken to himself a block wife or intends doing so. Under no other circumstances is it easy to imagine how he could preach a doctrine so offensive to the white population, and one which even the strongest minded and most aged spinster of Boston would indignantly repudiate. The arrest in Philadelphia of Mr. Boileau, the proprietor and nominal editor of the Philadelphia Evening Journal, by order of General Schenck , the military governor, and his incarceration in Fort M'llenry for alleged disloyalty, has driven the Pennsylvanians into a state of excitement that al most amounts to frenzy. Mr. Boileau was seized at midnight by the military and conveyed beyond the limits of the State of Pennsylvania—a proceed said be was the kom who slabbed him. The priganei 7cdinitted,Pough the medium of an interpre ter, that he had stabbed Ahqui and then thrown into the knife with which he committed the deed the Regent's Canal dock. The wounded man was found within a few feet of the canal. The witness understood from Ahqui that he was wounded by the prisoner 150 yards from the place where he and ran with the blood gushing from him until AA) became exhausted. Emma Sarginson, a woman of the town, well known at this court, who formerly cohabited with a Chinaman wh o k e pt a lodging-house for sailors, said she could throw some light on the matter. She deposed that she was now living i t No. 3, New-court, Bluegate-field s . and that the prisoner had been liv ing at No. 5 i n the same court, where he rented an apartment for is. 6d. per week. Ahqui had been living under the railway arch in Gun-lane, Lime house, and had been in the port of London to three or four months. The prisoner had been cook of an American ship, and when he left went to the Stran gers' Home, in the West Ind;a-road, Limehouse. Ahqui took the prisoner away from that institution, and had deprived him of berths on board three ships, in each of which he was eng age d as coo k . Ah qu i took a coat out of the prisoner's room on Thursday and pawned it, and afterwards promis e d t o t a k e it out again. The prisoner Sequi went aft er Ahquito obtain his coat. The witness then said the pri soner was a most excellent man. ing that, independently of his guilt or innocence, is held to be an unpardonable outrage against State rights. It is argued that, whatever Mr. Boileau's offence may have been, he should have been tried in Pennsylvania before the recognized tribunals. The whole community is in a ferment, and the grand jury, under the direction of Judge Ludlow, have made their presentment against the General, and the District Attorney has been ordered to prosecute. The article prin cipally inculpated by the General is a review of President Davis's recent Message, which the writer contrasts favourably with that of President Lincoln. Articles much more severely depreciatory of Mr. Lincoln have been published in the New York journals without exciting the least official attention. The Democracy of Pennsylvania appear resolved to make this the test case in their State, and to stop the beginnings of evil, whatever may be the conse quences. Most probably Mr. Stanton, as soon as he has official cognisance of the matter—provided always that Mr. Boileau's incarceration was not specially ordered by himself, will order the release of the prisoner, to prevent the further agitation of a question which at this particular crisis it is pecu liarly unlucky, or worse, to force before the nation. But even this concession to public opinion, suppos ing it to be made, will not stay the action of the Pennsylvanian tribunals against the offending General. The ,great Commonwealth of William Penn and the city of Benjamin Franklin will assert their dignity. The Democrats are in the majority. The reaction is great and steady against the en croachments of the Executive, and General Schenck will have the unhappy distinction of forming the central figure in a cause celebre, destined to prove whether liberty in one of the most ancient, most illustrious, and most loyal States of the Union is a mockery or a reality. Inspector Hayes, of the K division, said the house-surgeon at the hospital was of opinion that it was necessary the deposition of the wounded man should be received as early as possible. Mr. Selfe accordingly proceeded without delay to the hospital, to which the prisoner was also taker. The Rev, James H. Taylor, a missionary, of No. 1, Beaumont•square, Stepney, was sworn as inter preter. Ahqui, who can speak English, said he was a Christian, and was sworn in the ordinary manner. He made the following statement :—My name is Ahqui, of 1, Limehouse. 1 have been in England 14 days. lam the cook of an American ship. I was going away in a ship to Shanghai. The prisoner was going as cook also in another ship. At half-past 9 o'clock last night I went to the prisoner's house. I siw him there, and asked him to come along with me to my house at Limehouse. He said, '° No, not to-night." I went back to Limehouse, and five minutes after wards the prisoner came into my place, where the master of the house, his wife, and two children were. He said, " Ahqui, you go out your self and buy opium." I said, It is too late. I have walked till lam tired." The master was there at the time. Hs asked me again to go, and at half past 10 I went out with him. We were good friends up to that time. We walked through tour or five streets when he said in Chinese : you," and took a long knife from his coat pocket, and gave me two heavy blows, one in the belly, the other on the left shoulder, I had no quarrel with him. No angry words, and no blows. I ran with all my bowels out and bleeding, until I fell down. I could not walk any further. 1 was near a canal when he struck me. Mr. Selfe (pointing to Scqui)—ls that the man ? Ahqui—Yes, that is the man. :In answer to Mr. Selfe, the witness added that he took away from his place last evening a coat which belonged to him. He lent it to the prisoner two weeks ago, and only took it back. The pri soner never said it was his coat, and did not object to the witness taking it. Ho did not know why the prisoner struck him. He never prevented his going in a ship as cook, and did not know whether he was ever in the Strangers' Home, West India-road. He hal only been there 14 days. The first time he ever saw him was when he came to his ship. He was in very great pain, and did not know whether he would live. Mr. Pyer then read the deposition in English, and it was translated to him, sentence by sentence. The prisoner frequently said, " It is quite correct," in his own language; and he also said that part of it where he was accused of stabbing Ahqui was very correct, and added—" lam the man." After the whole of the deposition was read the prisoner was asked if he wished to put any questions to Ahqui, to which he replied, "No, I don't wish to say anything to him." The wounded man having signed his deposition in Chinese characters, the prisoner was taken back to the Thames Police-court, and Mr. Selfe formally remanded him for a week. Ahqui was in a very low state yesterday evening, and it was feared he would not survive many hours. SOUTHWARK.—DanieI Cormick, H(nry Prit chard, Samuel Pritchard, and Matthew Hayward were summoned before Mr, Combo by Miss Angelica Read, of 22, Stamford-street, Blackfriars-road, for having unlawfully, with a force of arms, and with strong hand, entered certain messuages, Nos_ 1,2, 3,5, 19, 20, and 23, Stamford-street, the property of Miss Read, and for unlawfully and injuriously keep ing possession of the same. Mr. Francis Russell, instructed by Mr. J. C. Mey mott, appeared to prosecute • Mr. Binns defended Cormick ; and Mr. L. Lewis de fended the others. Miss Read, on being sworn, said that her father and herself had been in undisputed possession of the houses named in the summons for upwards of 40 years. Her father died about 18 years ago. At his death she received the rents and kept the keys, but for some years they had not been tenanted. She had property in all the houses. She had been in the habit of entering all the houses occasionally to see that all was safe. Lately she had had the whole of the roofs put into proper repair, and she intended to thoroughly repair all of them, so as to let them to respectable tenants. On Monday after noon she went to No. 1 with a workman, when she was surprised to see a crowd round the doorway. The iron gate had been forced, and one of the men (she believed Hayward) had a crowbar, with which he forced open the door and entered. The other defendants were there, as well as Mrs. Cormick, who asked her to show her title-deeds. Being very much frightened, she got out of the crowd as quickly as possible, and returned home. In the course of the same evening she went to the same house again with a carpenter and smith, regained possession, and secured the door. Shortly after they had entered, the house was broken into again by Mrs. Cormick and her party, and she was compelled to seek escape by the roof. In cross-examination by Mr. Binns, witness said that since her father's death none had ever disputed possession with her until now. She knew nothing of Mrs. Cormick or the defendants. Henry Scroggs, a smith, said that during the last three months he put a new lock and box on the door of No. 1, Stamford-street. The door was very strong and calculated to resist great violence. On the evening of the 19th ult. he accompanied Miss Read to No. 1, which they found had been broken open. They gained an entrance and fastened it again. A minute or two afterwards a mob sur rounded the outside, and he beard persons break ing the door. Miss Read told the carpenter to ask what they wanted, and while the carpenter was in the act of drawing the top bolt the door was burst in. Mrs. Cormick and a mob then rushed in. Among the latter he recognised Hayward, Cormick, and Henry Pritchard. There was a great tumult outside at that time, and stones were thrown in, one of which struck witness. Miss Read made her escape by the skylight, telling him to stay in till they turned him out. Soon after that the defend ants turned him out. The door was opened, and he was pushed out of the house. In cross-examination witness said that before that he drank beer with them. The defendant s _ never told him they had been pushed in. The wit ness saw all the defendants there. Mr. Combo committed all th pr i soners for trial, accepting bail for their a ppearance i at the sessions.

'Before Lord Chief Justice Erle and Special Juries.) LLEWELLIN V. WINDHAM. This was an action for use and occupation, for work and labour, and for goods supplied, to which the defendant paid £25 into court, denied his liability beyond that Bum, and pleaded infancy. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. J. A. Russell appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Kerslake, Q.C., and Mr. D. 1). Keane for the defendant. The case seemed to excite a good deal of interest from the great notoriety which has recently at tached to the defendant, who was in court. It was, however, a very simple matter, being an action for a year's rent of lodgings with the plaintiff at 35, Duke-street, St. James's, at £lOO a year rent, for £3 Bs. for attendance, and for £6 odd for provisions and necessaries supplied during a short period. The plaintiff, his clerk, and his wife proved that the de fendant went to lodge at his house, paying two guineas a week, in the spring of 1861, and after being there some time the plaintiff told him, as all his lodgers were yearly tenants, they objected to his taking weekly lodgers, and unless he became a yearly tenant he must go. The defendant then asked the rent, and was told £lOO a year. He said , " All right ; they are mine." He remained on those terms till August 29, when he suddenly left to get married, taking with him a latch key. He after wards wrote for some wine and so me of his things to be sent to him in Norfolk, and the plaintiff then wrote to him and asked him if he had permission to let his rooms, and if he would wish to give them up, and got no a nswer. A fortnight afterwards the defendant called for his letters, and continued on his rooms. A part of the agreement was that he was to pay 7s. a week for attendance when at his rooms, and some things which he required were procured for him. On the cross-examination of those witnesses it appeared the defendant was of age on Aug. 8, 1861. His conduct was strange, and Mrs. Llewellin swore to her belief that he was not of competent ability or quite sane. At the close of their evidence the learned counsel for the defendant asked for permis sion to confer with their client, and Mr. Windham, who was at the back of the court, made his way to them, dressed in a rough frogged overcoat, and after a short conference it was i nt i ma t e d th a t h e l e ft the matter in the hands of his counsel. Mr. Kerslak e sa id , a f ter t h e ev id ence g i ve n, be did not propose to put Mr. Windham in the box to contradict the testimony which had been given, as at the time of the contract he was labouring under not some excitement, and his recollection outweigh the testimony given, part l y corroborated as it was by letters.

THAMES.—A Chinese seaman, named Segni, apparently about 25 years of age, was charged with cut ting and wounding another Chi naman , ca ll ed John Ahui, with intent to murder him. Isaac Excel!, a police constable, No. 493 K, stated that half-past 10 o'clock on Thursday night he was in Narrow-street, Limehouse, and heard cries of " Police" and "Murder." On proceeding to the spot whence the cries proceeded he saw a Chinaman, frightfully wounded, lying on the ground in a pool of blood, in front of the house N 0.27. He directed a police constable, No. 137 K, to stay by him, and went to the surgery of Dr. O. R. Arnold, in Brook street, with whom he immediately returned. 1)r. Arnold examined the man, and found he had two wounds, one in the abdomen, and the other in the left shoulder. Ile was immediately c onveyed to the London H os pit a l.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30. Another disaster to the northern arms as great and demoralising as that v,t Fredericksburg will break the spirit of the IN)rthern people. Their patience is so soreiy tried that a victory of some kind is absolutely neeessaty to restore their self- respect or to infuse into their minds the smallest paiticle of confidence in tle men who pretend to govern them. Possibly one o' the many blows that are to be simultancously struck against the Confe- derates within the next thrii weeks over an area of 800 or 1,000 miles square ma 3 be successful, but the most sanguine believErs in tie invincibility of the North and the indivisibility of the Republic scarcely anticipate that all of the will be victories, or that the result in any case will be the conquest of the South and the collapse of the rebellion. Of the thousands who hope there and not five who believe in the final victory of the Northern cause; while nine out of ten persona have come to the conclusion that separation .is better that the prolonga' ion of a war without other results than mischief to both parties, and most of all to the free institut, , ns and the future prosperity of the north. But wt :le such is the under current of men thoughts, tl,e outer surface of society betrays no sign of the gloom within. This gieat city seems to revel in the hey day of luxury and enjumcat. The streets are blocked with traffic. Die thra . tres r.ever before at tracted such immense crowdi, end what calls itself " Society" was never more reselutelybent on amuse ment. The only signs of war that meet the eye are the flags at the recruiting Of f ices, and now and then a legless or an armless hero—the victim of the bungling ana brutal surgery of the battle field— who bobbles through the streets or lounges at the Park Barracks. In all other respects the city would seem to be the home of untroubled peace and un precedented prosperity. The rowdies and black guards have all gone to the war, and one half of them at least have left their bones on the battle fields of Virginia and Tennessee, so that the city was never before so free from the turbulent scum of the population. Greenbacks fly from hand to hand in unexampled profusion; and such is the daily ex penditure of the Government, and so enormous are the gains of contractors and speculators and stock.- gamblers that all the trades and manufactures which administer to luxury are more prosperous than at any time within living memory. So many once penniless adventurers and beggars have become rich, that the jewellers, the silkmercers, the carriage manufacturers, the horsedealers, the upholsterers, and others, are kept in perpetual activity to supply the wants of the new class that has arisen to storm, many diamonds sold in New York as are now sold within a week. the avenues Never eSrocbieefteyr'e by their ho s pit a li ty an d were so Never before did the mercers dispose of so many rich silk, damask, and velvet dresses at extravagant prices ; the purchasers being the husbands of wo men who three years ago may have had visions of satins and velvets in their sleep, but never thought to see the day when they would be able to wear either in a waking state. A "shoddy" aristocracy has arisen, to whom all things in the way of wealth are new, and who surround themselves with every luxury that greenbacks can purchase. The piano forte manufacturers were never before so busy, and cannot supply instruments of the highest price and finish with sufficient rapidity to keep pace with the demand, although the purchasers too often require them for show rather than for use, and have yet to learn the first rudiments of music. And it is not only the class of nouveaux riches who indulge in prodigal expenditure on articles of luxury. Men who acquired wealth years ago by honout able trade and industry make haste to invest their greenbacks _ _ In 2-cal estate, in gold, in j.....31pry, and in dia monds ; in anything, in fact, that is likely to fetch a price in the markets of the world in the days that seem to be fast approaching, when the paper dollar will fall to 30 or 40 cent. Wall-street is in a frenzy of speculation. Gold is al: 581 premium, and cotton at 92 cents per pound. Mr. Chase is at his wits' end, and poor Mr. Lincoln—if he do not — might well exclaim, with Hamlet— " The time is out of joint—oh, cursed spite I That ever I was born to set it right," The Democratic party is closing up its broken ranks, preparatory to a new onslaught on the plea sant places of power, from which its own divisions, rather than the strength of its opponents, expelled it two years ago. On the other hand, the Republican party is breaking up. Its leaders lose faith in its cause, and yield up its most vital principles, one after the other, as the war proceeds. The retire ment of Mr. Thurlow Weed from the editorship of the Albany E vening Journal, which he has conducted for 33 years, with unflinching devotion to the inte rests of his party, is an event in the history of the war. Mr. Weed does not retire because of failing energies, for he is still in the maturity of his intel lectual powers. Neither does he renounce his con nexion with the journal which he founded because it no longer answers as a commercial speculation, for it is still prosperous. But he withdraws from Inblic life and editorial duty because he finds him eif in hopeless disu h disagreement with the party of which has lon g b een the ablest and least ambitious leader. The war has made him a Conservative. He c nnot follow the Abolitionists down the jagged precipices of revolution. In his valedictory address he says, "We have fallen upon evil times. Our country is in immediate and imminent danger. I differ widely with thy party about the best means of crushing the rebellion. That difference is radi cal and irreconcilable. I can neither impress others with my views nor surrender my own solemn convictions. The alternative of being in strife with those I have esteemed or withdrawing is presented. I have not hesitated in choosing the path of peace as the path of duty." The confession is more creditable to Mr. Weed's kindliness of heart than to his civio courage, and almost amounts to the crime of despairing of the Republic. What ever opinion may be formed of it by those who think that the greater the perils of the State, the more imperative the duty of the true patriot to aid in its salvation, whether by tongue or pen or strong right arm, no one can fail to See that words like these uttered at such a time by such a man are a scathing condemnation of the Republicans, tried for the first time by the duties and responsibilities of office, and found miserably wantin g in every at tribute of statesmanship. Mr. Weed has studied history. He knows that the Girondins have had their day, and he, their Nestor, gives them notice of their impending doom. Mr. Seward, Mr. Blair, aad all the other moderate Republicans who think that the Union, with guarantees to slavery, was better than disunion, accompanied by servile as well as civil war, must resign or be dismissed. Their hour has come. The President is in the hands of the Jacobins. Marat, Denton, and Robe spierre, in the persons of Mr. Horace Greeley, Mr. Charles Sumner, and Mr. Wendell Phillips, are in the ascendant, and will mould him to their pur poses. Not all the ridicule and opprobrium hurled against him by Mr. Wendell Phillips has prevented Mr. Lincoln from extending the right hand of fel lowship to his formidable opponent. Mz.. Phillips went to Washington on an errand of me; : lon , an d he coerced. The President is in the tui of the theorists. He is no longer his own ma, t r. The men of one idea have got firmly hold of t iin, and they will use him as they please. No sentiment of loyalty will stand in their Wita — . Their cause is desperate, and, being convinced, about a year after Europe had arrived at the same conclusion, that t hey can neither conquer nor exterminate the South, and that emancipation is disunion, they have deter mined to struggle for the mastery of the North. An Illinois journal — an d at this m oment both Illinois and Indiana are as restiff in the Union as South Carolina was 30 months ago—defines their position and in tentions.
