POLICY OF THE NEW AMERICAN PRESIDENT. (From the Times.) NEW' YORK, Dec. 15, 11 o'Clock.—Although no one who is not in the immediate confidence of the President elect can presume to delineate with any degree of exactness the policy that will guide his administration in domestic and foreign affairs, yet I believe that enough is known of the character of vlr. Pierce to enable me to speak of the general policy he will be guided by, and in such a manner as will not be likely to excite expectations that will not be realised. In respect of the foreign policy of the approach ing Administration, it is believed that Mr. Pierce will adhere to the maxims which have guided his democratic predecessors, especially General Jack son. His cours e t owar d s other nations will be one of inflexible justice, asking for nothing which is not right, and submitting to nothing that is wrong. The antecedents of Mr. Pierce lead me to believe that he will faithfully execute all treaties between the Republic and other nations, and exact from them the same loyalty to the public engagements and international law. He will carefully respect the rights of all nations, whether they be weak or powerful. He will countenance no unjust a ggres ; sions upon them by our citizens. He will rigidly observe the laws of neutrality, international as well as domestic. But, while he will study to do justice to all nations, he will not hesitate to express the sympathy of our Government forte ose communi ties and people that are struggg to establiish constitutional freedom. He will recognise the doc trine of non-intervention as a principle of interna tional law—as the principle which regulates the re lations of the several States of our Republic —as the cornerstone of the doctrine of State rights. But, while he will recognise this principle as a funda mental law of nations, he will attempt to enforce it only so far as this continent is concerned. The old Monroe doctrine of non-interference in the affairs of this continent by European nations, will be duly asserted and maintained. So far as this point goes, there can be no doubt about the course that any administration would be compelled by public opinion to adopt. But, having strong tendencies towards absolute freedom of trade, Mr. Pierce will endeavour to cultivate amity with all nations, and court their friendship and intercourse. He will exert his influence for the modification of the com mercial and revenue system of other nations, espe cially so far as they prevent or obstruct the largest possible freedom of commercial intercourse. I do not believe that the Cuba question will come before the Government of Mr. Pierce (unless some unforseen circumstance take place) either so soon or so formidably as the Mexican affair. Cuba is likely to have its hands full in rendering a strict and proper account to Great Britain for this serious violation of that treaty by which she engaged, not only to discontinue, but to suppress as far as she could, that infernal traffic. By every arrival from Cuba we learn that the slave trade is increasing, and private information I have received, and on which I rely moss implicitly, convinces me that the public reports on this subject are by no means exagge, rated. The Captain-General of Cuba is deeply con cerned in this slave traffic, and you will have ob served that, under false representations, a fine clipper-built American ship, with an American crew, and sailing from one of our own ports, has recently been purchased in Savannah, destined for the slave trade. As these clippers are built it is in vain for the slow English men-of-warto attempt to overtake them in a seachase, while their steamers can do it only when these clippers are becalmed. That there has been the most flagrant violation of all good faith on the part of the Provincial Go vernment of Cuba at least, if not of the Govern went of Madrid itself, I entertain no doubt. In regard to the domestic policy of the Adminis tration of Mr. Pierce, it is safe to say that he will adhere to the maxims of his Democratic predeces sors, so far as they are applicable to the condition of the republic, and accord with the progression of the age. The matter which I have so often alluded to, and which I regard as a cardinal one in our domestic arrangements, is the tariff. In the late election the doctrine of protection has been utterly overthrown, and things have gone so far that it was only the other day that a distinguished member of Congress of the Whig party, an a notorious Pro tectionist, arose in his place and proposed a general reduction on imported articles, by which the free list would be considerably augmented. This gentle man alleged, in his justification for so extraordinary a course, that even the present tariff, which the Whigs have called " the free trade tariff," was giving to the Government nearly one-third more revenue than it expended. He deprecated, and justly so, the collection of a revenue larger than the wants of the Government demanded, believing that it would offer a premium upon political corruption. Thus things work. It is only what free trade men prophecied many years ago. The prophecy is now fulfilled. We have made some progress in liberal ideas about tariffs. But our tariff is still a great deal too high ; especially should all imposts be re moved upon raw material, of whatever nature it may be. Thus, the most bigoted Protectionists we had are fast coming to the conclusion that far lower rates of imposts than we now have may still give the Governmentalarger revenue than it requires. The friends of free trade in the United States have observed with a great deal of satisfaction the course which the British Ministry have been com pelled to take. Whether Earl Derby really de serves credit for what he has done, or whether it be mere political trimming, is a matter of no sort of consequence to us. It is enough for us to know that a Protectionist Ministry in Great Britain are obliged to plant themselves upon the immovable foundation of free trade. So we find that even our Protectionists are not only coming rapidly to free trade doctrines, but the veryfirst time this question has been raised during the present session of Con gress was by a well-known Protectionist, and from him, even before the declarations of the Earl of Derby were known in this country, we hear very much the same language. Englishmen may rely upon one thing,—that whatever change is made in our tariff hereafter will bring us nearer to free trade. Permanence and stability are desired, but a large surplus revenue, even under the present extravagant expenditure, and a reduction of the expenses of the Government, will be likely to ren der a reduction of duties indispensible. Free trade will be the maxim of Pierce's Administration, so far as the physical wants of the Government will admit. Retrenchment and reform in public expenditure will constitute a prominent feature in the policy of the new Administration. It will ferret out corrup tion and put an end to extravagant expenditure so far as it has the power. The civil debt of the army and navy and the postal system may undergo a rigid revision, and thus we may be precipitated into an exigency that will compel us to reduce our Customs' duties. Mr. Pierce's Administration will be opposed to ex travagant appropriations for internal improvements, because it is well known that private interests and per,x;nal favouritism must have much to do, in so vast a country as this, in large appropriations for such purposes. Every navy-yard clamours for a million a year —every town and village that has a fortification expects at least 100,000 dollars, to keep their citizens employed at the public expense. The Whig party in this country has taught many bad lessons to our people in this way. The Demo crats have, as a rule, opposed these large appro priatlons for local interests, and they have publicly taught the doctrine that the citizens of a Republic ought to sustain the Republic, and not lie down and suck out its vitals. Mr. Pierce will oppose everything in the shape of a distribution of the proceeds of the public lands. The idea of the dis tbreigbinnutioinng of Lttbhetieee public revenue . originated in the men who wished to have a pretext f or exorbitant C us toms' duties, and, when ever they got an t o h tportunity, they ad voca t e d t h e distribution ()f public re venue among the different St a t es. The opinion is getting to be tliat General Pierce has for exre almost univers a l rdmary and unpre cedent qualificatio ns Presidential office. He conducts himself with theinvitations greatest modesty lic honours. Every speech, and Since let for pub ter, and word, that have gone from hi m a spiritof his nemination have been characteris e d b y modesty. moderation, and unostentatious truth. _Thousands of men have gone to Conco r d, where Mr. Pierce lives, and that quiet village has been besieg e d by demagogues from every part o f the Union. But it is well understood that the Presid en t elect will en tertain no requests for office, and no conversation in regard to the men who are to make up his Ca binet from any man who does not visit him at his own request. Whom that Cabinet will consist of no man yet knows. It has not yet been decided even by General Pierce himself. In all probability the Cabinet will be composed of new men—those who have never been in any preceding Cabinet. One thing is removed beyond a doubt, because General Pierce has in the most nnqualified terms expressed it himself. His Ca binet will be composed of National Union Demo crats. It will be made up at Concord before the Pnesiclent leaves home. It will not be changed -after ,finally settled upon at Concord, nor will be proMulgats4 until the inauguration of the 4th of March. i ts - Mr. John Scott 4 he celebrated horse-trainer, of Mal , ton: last week kille an ox of extraordinary size, mea suring front the _to of the horns to the tail nine feet, and weighing, wh . st alive, 258 s t ones , or 1 ton 8 cw t. 2 i,!' . qrs e - r The anima! was bred on th e neighbouring moors, a nitad 1;pol - fattening for nearly two years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW STREET.—lnspector Sheppy, of the A divi sion, accompanied by the mother of a little child who was cruelly stabbed by an unknown hand, and is now lyinc , at Charing-cross Hospital, attended before Mr. Jardine to state the particulars of the horrible occurrence, and of the inquiry which had been since instituted respect ing it. It appeared that the mother, a widow named Lam den, in humble circumstances, was passing through the Horse Guards one evening last week, at about half-past 7, in company with her two little girls, one of them only four years of age. They were near the entrance to the War office, when the youngest child stepped aside for a private purpose. In a few minutes afterwards the mother was alarmed by a loud shriek from the child, who had been stabbed in the most delicate part of her body, while stooping over the horizontal grating of one of the kitchen areas in front of the War-office. The child, who was bleeding profusely from the wound, was immediately conveyed to the Charing-cross Hos pital, and placed under the medical treatment of Mr, Adkins, the house-surgeon, who, from the depth of the incision, at first entertained but slight hopes of the child's recovery. In the meantime, inquiry was made at the War-office, and it was ascertained that the office-keeper, his wife, and daughter were taking tea at the time in the kitchen adjoining; but they denied all knowledge of -the circumstance. There was a pool of blood under the grating, but no instrument was found near, nor anything which could justify the supposition that the occurrence was the result of accident. The daughter stated that she heard a scream, and that she told her mother at the moment, that she thought some one must be hurt; but no further notice of the circumstance was taken at the time. It being difficult, therefore, to implicate any one di rectly in the transaction, it was deemed advisable for all the parties to attend before a magistrate to answer any questions which might be put to them upon the subject; and, consequently, the office-keeper at the War-office, with his wife and daughter, consented to accompany the Inspector and Mrs. Lamden to the court. They repeated their ignorance of the affair, and, as there was nobody in the house but themselves at the time, they appeared wholly unable to account for it, unless it was done acci dentally, or by some person passing above, who might have maliciously stabbed the child while in the position already adverted to. Mrs. Lamden said that her other little girl, who was also with her, told her that she was near the grating at about the time, or immediately after the occurrence, and that she then saw an elderly woman look up through the grating from below, and heard her exclaim, "Be off, you little -" finishing the sentence with a low word ; but the office-keeper's wife indignantly denied that any thing of the kind did, or could have, happened. The house-surgeon of the hospital, Mr. Adkins, stated that the child was now progressing favourably. There could be no doubt that the child had been stabbed by a knife, or other sharp instrument. The child was too young to give any account of the occurrence herself which could be relied on as evidence ; but she had told her mother that she was hurt by something being pushed up through the grating while she was stooping over it. Mr. Jardine said it seemed quite impossible, at pre sent, to form any judicial opinion as to the true origin of this wicked and cruel outrage upon the child. That it was done by a human hand, and by some one under the grating, appeared most probable ; and he could only say that it was fortunate for all parties that the child's life was likely to be spared. As the matter at present stood no further proceedings could be taken. WORSHIP -STRERT. A woman of abandoned habits, who gave the assumed name of Mary Ann Williams, was charged with having assaulted and rob bed Mr. Edward Richard Delavante, a student in Divinity at King's College. The prosecutor stated that between seven and eight o'clock on the prey ions evening he had occasion to pro ceed, in the company of his aunt, to the Eastern Coun ties Railway, in Shoreditch, on reaching which he met one of his fellow-students, with whom he remained for some minutes in conversation outside the station. On leaving his friend he hastened on to rejoin his relative, who had walked slowly forward in the direction of the Hackney-road, but not having overtaken her after he had proceeded some distance, he was about to retrace his steps when he was accostated by the prisoner, who en deavoured to insinuate herself into his society. He sharpely repelled her importunities, and crossed the road in order to avoid her, but was quickly followedby the prisoner, who instantly caught hold of him, and clasp ing him tightly round the waist, dealt him a smart blow on the left side. The prisoner then suddenly released him, and made rapidly off, and suspecting that she had robbed him, witness at once felt for his purse containing about 21., which he kept in the side-pocket of his coat, and dis covered that it had disappeared. Witness immediately pursued the prisoner, who had turned down an obscure passage, where he speedily overtook her, and was in the act of forcing her back into the road, when two men sud denly presented themselves in front of him, and after charging him with an attempt to take improper liberties with the woman, dragged him from her with great vio lence, and held him fast till she had effected her escape. His assailants then relinquished their hold of him, and started off in the direction she had taken ; but immediate information of the robbery, together with a minute de scription of the prisoner, having been communicated by witness to the police, she was subsequently traced out, and taken into custody. The witness added that he had no hesitation in swearing to the identity of the prisoner, although she had contrived to change the dress she had worn at the time of the robbery previous to her appre hension. Police-constable Parsons, N 276, stated that the pri soner was in the nightly habit of frequenting that part of the road, where witness had seen her in the early part of the evening wearing the same dress which the prose cutor described she had on at the time of her attack upon him. On learning the particulars of the robbery, witness proceeded in search of her, and having at length met her near the same spot in the dress in which she now appeared, he charged her with having shortly before robbed a gentleman, which the prisoner positively denied, but after lodging her in the station-house he proceeded to her apartments, on searching which he found the dif ferent portions of her other dress scattered in confusion about the place. . . . The prisoner, who stoutly disclaimed all participation in the robbery, was ordered to be remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Catherine Johnson was charged with having,. been concerned in robberies of jewels, &c., at various times, to the amount of between 1,3001. and 1,5001., from the premises of Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, jewellers, New Bond-street. The prisoner and her husband came over from America to visit the Great Exhibition. The prisoner's husband, among other shops, visited Messrs. Hunt and Roskell's extensive jewellery establishment in New Bond-street, and made occasional purchases. A short time ago, when stock was taken by Messrs. Hunt and Co., a large quantity of valuable property was missed, consisting of diamond rings, diamond necklaces, diamond bracelets, and other expensive articles of jewellery. Suspicion fell on the prisoner's husband, who still kept up his visits to the shop, and he was watched. Nothing of a definite nature could be brought home to him to warrant the police taking him in custody, but a sufficient amount of evidence was collected to justify the police in keeping watch on his move ments. About a fortnight ago the husband of the prisoner left England and went to Paris. Immediately after this event, two 101. notes were traced to have been paid by Johnson into the Bri tish Bank, where he had opened an account, which notes had been paid to Johnson by a pawnbroker, named At tenborough, of Newington-causeway, as part of a sum of 401. advanced on two diamond rings, which formed part of the property stolen from Messrs. Hunt and Co. The prisoner was about to follow her husband last Fri day, but was taken into custody by Inspector Whall, of the C division, at the South -Eastern Railway. Susan Baker, No. 4, Hanover -terrace, Islington, said the prisoner and her husband occupied furnished apart ments at her house. The prisoner on one occasion showed several diamond rings and a bracelet, which she said were worth 1501. The bracelet was in the shape of a snake, with large diamonds in the head and smaller at the tail. Mi: John Hunt said this description answered the make of a bracelet stolen from his shop. Alfred Good, jeweller, Islington, produced a snake bracelet, which he said had been borrowed by Johnson, from him about two months ago. Mr. Hunt said this bracelet could hardly have been mistaken for the bracelet stolen from his stock. Mr. Lewis, for the prisoner, made a forcible appeal to the Court, contending that no evidence whatever had been brought forward to connect the prisoner with the robberies. Mr. Humphries, for the prosecution, did not ask the Court to commit, but only to remand for a few days longer. Mr. Hardwick said the case, as it at present stood, was certainly one of suspicion only. Mr. Humphries said the value of the property, up wards of 1,5001., was so great, that he hoped the Court would give the police time to get Johnson, if possible. Inspector Whall said he had hopes of securing John son....s The circumstances of the case had been telegraphed to raris, but Johnson had contrived to evade appre hension. Mr. Hardwick decided on a further remand till next Friday. HAMMERSMITH.—Major Hall, of Phillimore place, Kensington, made the following complaint : On Thursday morning his family was very much alarmed by some shots being fired into the windows of his house. Some panes of glass were broken, and one of the shots entered his bedroom window and struck the wall. If he had not got up at an earlier hour that morning than usual he would probably have been struck. He was afterwards informed that a young man had been amusing himself at the back of N ewland-terrace, by firing at some birds upon a tree, and that, instead of the shots killing the birds, they entered his windows. Mr. Paynter inquired if the person was in custody Fisk,• a police constable, said he was not. Mr. Paynter said it was too serious an offence to be passed over; and he should direct that a summons be taken out and the person indicted at the sessions. Major Hall said the inhabitants were also much alarmed, as the shots actually crossed the street before they struck his windows. Mr. Paynter could assure the applicant that he would put a stop to such a dangerous pastime. Inspector Havill said the young man was very respect ably connected, and had offered to make an apology to Major Hall and also pay for the panes of glass that had been broken. Mr. Paynter said such an offence could not be looked over, and if it was, there was no telling what the come sequences might be. ~r+~'~ .. * The receipts include the traffic on the Orleans and Central, Or cans and Bordeaux, and Tours and Nantes lines. A NEW COMPLAINT.—A strange disease has made its appearance amongst children in some parts of the fens : it is not contagious; but appears to arise from atmos pheric causes or from the condition of the earth. The disease is accompanied with great prostration of strength and glandular swelling, and the parties attacked very slowly recover from the effects : some have been taken off suddenly. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING-, JANUARY 1, 1853, FRIGHTFUL DISASTER, AND LOSS OF THIRTY-TWO LIVES. A. LIVERPOOL VESSEL BLOWN UP BY GUN POWDER OFF THE ISLE OF MAN. The Mona's Herald, of Wednesday last, gives the particulars of the stranding and subsequent explosion, by gunpowder, of the brig Lily, of 180 tons. The vessel in question is owned by Messrs. Hatton and Cookson, of Mersey-street, in this town, and left the Mersey yesterday week, under the command of Captain John Owens, for the south-west coast of Africa. The cargo consisted of about fifty tons of gunpowder, twenty puncheons of rum, a quantity of arms, and some bale goods, containing articles for barter on the coast. The vessel was beating about the channel till Monday morn ing last, when she was driven by the violence of the storm to the Sound of the Calf of Man. The sea was running mountains high at the time, and, despite all the efforts of the crew, about eleven o'clock the Lily was stove on Kit terland island, which lies between the island of the Calf of Man and the mainland of the Isle of Man. With a desperate effort most of the crew (13 in number) reached the rocks by the aid of boats. The waves beat furiously upon the wreck and the rocks. Captain Owens and three of the crew got on the ledge of a rock, from which two of the seamen sprang to the land ; but the captain, in attempting to do the same, was drowned. The cook and two lads also met with a watery grave. The carpenter was killed by the mast falling upon him. Thus five of the crew were lost. Early on Tuesday morning, . Mr. Enos Lace, grocer and shipbroker of Port St. Mary, being sub-agent for Lloyd, repaired to the wreck with 31 men, to see what could be saved. At a quarter before eight a violent shock was felt throughout the southern district of the island ; and a sheet of fire and pillar of smoke were seen to be hurled into the air, hundreds of feet high, from the wreck. It seems that a large portion of the powder was placed so high in the vessel that it did not get wet by the waves breaking on it. The explosion dashed the vessel to atoms, arid blew to broken fragments some 30 human beings ! I3ut one individual near the fatal scene escaped to tell the story, James Kelly, who is still alive, although one cheel c and ear are taken off, and he is other wise much contuse d. Hopes, however, are entertained of his recovery. Among those who perished were Enos Lace, William Lawson, William 'Taubman, Edward Qualtrough, John Collister, John Collister, 2nd, Samuel Collister, William Watterson, George Costane, Hugh Couen, Thos. Turn bull, Thomas Colilister, John Watterson, William Ker mode, Edward Gale, Edward Watterson, Henry Gale, John Gell, Charles Clugston, Robert Collister, Thomas Witted, Thomas Nelson, John Fell, Daniel Lace, Thos. Hugeon, William Cowley, and Thomas Cubbon, all of Port St. Mary. Jcihn Creggs, chief constable of Castle town, John Wright:,, constable of the same place, and another, name unknown. Many of the deceased were the active and energetic men of business of Port St. Mary, and were engaged in the fishing and other nauti cal pursuits. Thirty-two men (besides the five of crew that were lost on 111:c.nday) were killed, leaving twenty three widows and seventy-three fatherless children. The explosion Waa heard in Douglas, and was sup posed, by many peii ions, to have been an earthquake. Fragments of the wreck were thrown as far as the Red Gap, near Castletcra being a distance of six miles. Portions of the vesisel and cargo, consisting of chain links, portions of gum barrels, swords, caps, fragments of wreck, shirts, Sm.., have also been picked up in va rious parts of the p arish of Rushen. Some pieces of burning cotton were actually found at Poolvash, near Balladaole, at least s ix miles off. Mr. Boardman, a q gent for Lloyd's, of Douglas, and brother of Mr. Boar' Iman, of the Sailors' Home at this port, was engaged in rendering assistance to a vessel off Langness, or he won ld no doubt have been amongst the sufferers. No vestige of the , vessel remains ; but fragments of wood, iron, copper, ;guns, and parts of human bodies are strewed around the c ountry for miles. A man of Craig N eish (name unknown) got terribly hurt by falling from the rocks in an effort to lend aid to the sufferers. A sailor of the n ame of Fanning got a compound fracture of the leg it t the wreck, on Monday, and lies disabled at the hotel in Port St. Mary. It is not probable that the cause of the explosion will ever be correctly aso ertained, but it is supposed that the powder was fired by a light from the pipe of some of the men who were sraol , .ing on board the vessel. A correspondent an Douglas writes as follows : " We have had. of it share of disasters ; and one portion of our island, especially, has been plunged into the depths of ' mommi ng, and lamentation, and woe.' I allude to the disailter at Ketterland, between the Calf of Man and the maialta,nd, where thirty of our fellow-crea tures have been hurled into eternity in a moment, and without a moment' s warning, by the explosion of no less than fifty tons of gunpowder , in the wreck of a ship from your port to the Co ast of Africa ; by which calamity no fewer than twenty-three women are reduced to widow hood, deprived of -their means of support, and, alas, bur dened with the support of 72 fatherless children, who are left without a father or, I may say, a friend. Alas for these bereaved cones : who can refuse to shed a tear over their helpless con d ition, or sympathise with them in their bereavement 1 l'Alis day my mind has been engaged in devising means to help them. "The island, with its authorities, its humane and be nevolent sons and daughters—and who will say that they are not so ?—and ye moneyed men of Liverpool, who roll in affluence, and whose dignity at this hour is supported by the exertion of such men as these bereaved ones' fathers, must come forward and lend a helping hand in this distressing emergency. "I propose that a subscription be opened at once in the island ; that the governor, the bishop. and all leading officials be of the committee; and that her Majesty be implored to extend to her suffering sisters of Mona and their helpless ones: a share of her gracious compassion, if only to aid their cause in other quarters ; and that trust worthy and efficient agents be found to canvass the ship owners and merchants of all the leading seaports of the kingdom in aid of these unfortunate children of deep distress and commiseration. "This should be done instanter, before human sympathy is dried up, and while the harrowing de tails are before the eyes of a British people, and when I use that word I mean a generous and sympathising people, whose ears are ever open, and whose hearts feel for distress in any clime and of any colour." After offering to give 51. towards the subscription, the writer proceeds, "I will be happy to give a month's service in canvassing subscriptions, if none more suitable can be found, free of all cost, travelling expenses alone excepted." We sincerely trust that the excellent suggestion of our correspondent may be at once adopted. The people of the Isle of Man who have to work for their living are, generally, in very humble circumstances, and Port St. Mary is one of the poorest fishing villages in the island. The widows and children must indeed be in the most distressed condition, and we feel persuaded an appeal to the benevolent will not be made in vain. We shall be glad to receive subscriptions in aid of the families of the sufferers.—From the Liverpool Mercury of Friday. RAILWAY RETURNS. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK.
