The court-martial for the trial of Captain Wirtz
re-amembledlyesterday. The Judge-Advocate an-
nounced that the former commission had been dis-
solved and • new one convened, composed of the
same members. The specification of charges were
similar to the previous one, with the exception of
the names of Lee, Seddon, and Northrop being
omitted from the charge of conspiracy.
Wirtz's counsel objected to fresh proceedings,
and asked for time to prepare the defence. Even-
tually, however, he abandoned the case. The
president of the court then appointed the Judge-
Advocate to defend Wirtz.

nant to the Federal constitution.
President Johnson telegraphed to the Governor
of Mississippi, congratulating him on the progress
made by that State towards re-admission to the
Union. He also said that the Habeas Corpus Act
would be restored and the troops withdrawn so
soon as the State had progressed sufficiently to have
returned to her allegiance.
The Pennsylvania Democratic Convention have
given Mr. Johnson their qualified support. They

NEW YORE, Aueuer 26, Evanns.

The paroled prisoners against whom no charges

The ship Francis Cutting has cleared from

at nearly half a million dollars.
The Shenandoah continues her depredations
among the whalers. She has destroyed the whaling
ship General Williams, the barque W. C. Rye,
the Nimrod, the Catharine, the Isabella, and the
Gipsy.

The lover of quiet who, tempted by the beauty
of the adjacent country, bee fixed his dwelling-place
at Barnet, must at this time be in a state of acute
mental suffering. His privacy is invaded, his
favourite walks rendered unfit for decent people,
and his pet views obstructed by a seething, strug-
gling, shrieking crowd, one-half of whom ought to
be in bandoutia, if there be any truth in physiog-
nomy. An execution mob, divested to some extent
of its women—the worst section of the worst class
of race-course frequenters—and • vast host of the
muscular, truculent ruffians to be seen at a fourth-
rate prize tight—seem to have been suddenly let
loose upon hapless little Barnet. It can be bat
sorry consolation to know that this unholy visits,-
tie* is periodical—that the almanacs and other
records publish the time of De occurrence before-
hand, and that underlying all the moral filth and
seam so painfully apparent are • long aeries of
business transactions from which prices are quoted,
and by means of which cattle and horses change
hands.
The long and dusty mile from the Great Northern
station to the town was yesterday the scene of
countless cruelties, while from a turning in the road
at the foot of the kill up to the town itself the
public highway wasprostituted to as vile • crew of
thieves, card-sharpers, horse-chauntere, and minor
swindlers of every degree as it would be possible to
gather out of any capital in Europe. The police—
s detachment of the A division has been sent down,
and is now aiding the local oonetabubiry—were
very active. Many captures were made, and we
saw half-a-dozen thefts prevented through their
timely warning ; but the evil spirits were oongre-
, gated in such numbers, and the general air of license
was so complete, that police efforts, well-timed
and judicious as they were, only partially grappled
with the difficulty. Of course there were, over
and above the rogues and blacklegs we have
instanced, many respectable dealers and well-to-do
farmers and tradesmen only wishful for a deal ; but
the great bulk of the people present bore an unmis-
takeable likeness to the close-cropped beads, wistful
faces, and nation eyes to be seen at Portland or is
any of her Majesty's gaol&
Looking from the road leading up to Barnet,
the seen* bosh right and left was sufficiently
striking. On the one side some thousands of men
and horses were noisily asserting their presence,
and careering to and fro in what seemed dangerous
and inextricable confusion. The most approved
process of showing off a hone's points appeared
to be for one shouting demon to wrench its neck
with all his might, while several others prodded
and goaded his sides and from behind. This done,
the first man ran • muck through the crowd,
hanging on to the halter round the bone's neck.
Wild cries, and the waving long sticks like flexible
fishing-rods, with coloured flags at their ends, be-
fore the horse's eyes, completed the operation.
