instead of a mattock, a knapsack laid upon their
shoulders instead of a hod, and their strength
directed to destroy their fellow-creatures, and be
destroyed by them, instead of to revolutionise the
surface of the harmless and impassible earth_
Surely with all these advantages, the Northern
States ought to be content ? They have got so much
by these means that it is really inexcusable in them
to seek for more. But, according to the report of
a case heard before the bench of magistrates at
Queenstown a few days since, it seems that the
American navy at any rate is not content to conform
to the municipal laws of this country so far as to
abstain from enlisting the subjects of her Majesty
within the jurisdiction of our courts, but that an
American vessel of war called the Kearsage has
been, without, it should seem, any very great at-
tempt at concealment, shipping sailors in no less
public a place than the harbour of Cork itself. The
men so shipped were committed for trial at the
assizes, and we purposely forbear from a discussion
of the details of the case from a wish not to preju-
dice pending proceedings. But at any rate there
can be no harm in recording that John Sullivan
stated that he passed the doctor of the ship at Brest;
7 that Edward PybuYn states that he. was examined
by the doctor's mate, and that Thomas Leary went
on board at Kingstown, and did not come on deck
till he reached Brest. Why were they on board at
all? Why were they examined ? Why were they
kept below ? Whatever be the case of each of
these men, it seems abundantly clear that this ship
of war has employed herself in taking on board
seamen just as if she had been a merchant ship.
When we consider she manner in which the sur-
miao nothing like proof was ever offered) that
the English Minister was privy to attempts
to enlist American citizens in the service of
England during the Crimean war was visited upon
this country, we think we have some right to ex-
pect that the Northern States will content them-
selves with the recruiting of emigrants on their
arrival, and not employ their commissioned officers
on board their vessels of war to violate, in the face
of day, the well known provisions of an Act of
Parliament. We have heard and read the most
furious denunciations of our own Government, be-
cause they did not interfere when they were not
furnished with sufficient evidence to arrest the de-
parture from their ports of vessels which were
subsequently armed and equipped for the service
of the Confederate Government. It is not tdo
much to expect and require that they shall weigh
themselves in the same balance as they weigh us,
or, if this be too much to ask, at any rate that they
shall not employ their vessels of war, and officers
bearing the commission of the United States, in the
direct and open enlistment of sailors within the
limits of British ports.

Robbery of Five Hundred Pounds in Bank

Notes.

About half-past 4 o'clock yesterday (Thursday) afternoon
a respectably dressed man, between 30 and 40 years of age,
accosted one of the G division of police while on duty in
Shoreditch, and in great tribulation made known to him that
he had been robbed of ten £5O Bank of England notes under
the following circumstances :—He stated that about nine
months since he kept a tavern near Buckhurst-hill, in
Essex ; that his wile recently had come into possession of
about £2,000; and thai being desirous of taking a London
house he came to town for the purpose of purchasing one.
While pursuing inquiries with this otject he noticed a pub-
lic- house in Shoreditch, entered it, and after a few preli-
minary remarks offered the landlord £350 down instanter
for the house. This sum was refused, and he was told that
the property was not in the market. When on the point of
leaving a man, whom he had not before observed, followed,
and stated that he knew a house to be disposea of which
would exactly suit, and they both repaired to a beer-shop
near the City Theatre in Norton Folgate, where they par-
took of some ale, and then his new acquaintance accom-
panied him to another beer•shop up and down some turn-
ings, but where he could not afterwards find out. Some
more ale was called for, several other men joined company,
all respectable-looking and behaving, except one, and he
remarked to him " Why, you have not money enough to
pay for beer in my opinion." The reply was by the pro-
duction of a canvas bag from the left side outer pocket of his
great coat, and which bag contained the notes mentioned;
he at the same time saying " Here's enough to pay for
more than beer." He thrust the whole quickly back, and
while drinking and leaning on the counter soon found him-
self alone, the others having left the house ; very quickly he
discovered his loss, and sought a police•constable. He
produced his card as authority of his being the person
mentioned, and his story,when inquired into by the officer,
proved correct.

A huge balloon 'a being constructed in Paris, to be
called the Eagle, in honour of the Emperor, with
whose arms it is to be decorated. Four gigantic eagles are
to extend its wings over its vast circumference, The wings
of each eagle measure 61 feet in extent. The circular wicker
car is 12 feet in diameter. A stove six feet in diameter is
placed in the centre, which is to heat the air by which the
balloon is to be raised. Twenty people may sit at ease in
the car which is to be attached to the balloon by chains and
not by ropes. 'I he seams of the balloon are not less than 17
miles long, and 100 women have been employed in stitching

Palais de l'lndustrie, but it cannot be fully inflated there
as it would be twice as high as tho
