The New York Courier and Enquirer says :

" Toe cbfficulty in negotiating exchange on satisfac_
tory terms has a very depressing effect upon ail descrip-
tions of domestic produce which depend immediately or
remotely up >n an export demand. Included in these
are cotton, or, corn, provisions, naval stores, and
rice, all of which hate declined to the past week, or are
very dull and heavy, and at the close this evening the
immediate resumption of navigation on the Hudson
River contributes to the depression in breadetuffs. It is
believed, however, that the quantity of breadstuffs to
come forward from Albany and Troy is quite small."
Foreign exchange was flat and irregular at a fur-
ther decline. Bills on Loudon, 60 days, 104 to
106 for fair to good commercial signatures ; 106 k
to 107 for bankers'.
There was a general decline in the stock market.

Scotch pig iron in fair request.

Molasses rather flat. Provisions lower. Owing
to the large arrivals sugar had become dull ; tobacco

THE COMING TRIALS FOR CONSPIRACY AND

LIBEL.

The following letter has been addressed to the
Editor of the Dai'y News :

Sir,—There no mistake about the fact that the
liberty of the press in this country is at present threat.
ened by the measures of the Government. It behoves
every Enelt.hman, posseeiceing any knowledge, of the
subject, to come forth with precedents that may throw
light on the question at issue. A most powerful prece-
dent is furnished by the conduct of the Government in
the time of Pitt and B )naparte. Permit me to direct
t%e attention of your readers to the following passage
from William Cobbett's " Porcupine," Dec. 31, 1301).
The passage I take from the pamphlet just published,
entitled " The Two Napoleons and England; Two Pages
of 1113tory," by the author of "State Policy of Modern
Europe, and has reference to the machine internale.
"The situation of the Corsican with respect to French.
mon is something like that of a burglar with respect to the
master of the house ; and which of us would not blow up
the villain who should forcibly enter and take possession of
our dwelling? Au usurper is always an outlaw. Ile is in
a state of warfare with every man in the community. We
applaud the conduct of Brutus, who dealt the godlike
stroke. Why, then, abuse the Frenchmen who were about
to free their country from an usurping tyrant, ten times
more oppressive and more cruel than Tarquin ? If Brutus
dealt a `godlike stroke,' why should we call the Parisian
cart an infernal machine ?"

" He would certainly be a generous Frenchman, a well•
wisher to his native country, who would rid the earth of a
tyrant who deluges it with blood. There is, no doubt, a
pardon in heaven for the man who destroys a monster —an
enemy to the human race."

It ia a fact that Cobbe't used similar language again
and again, and that it never occurred to the Government
of the day to summon him before any tribunal on that
account.-1 am, &c., HISTORICUS.
April 1.

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—It is cenerally reported
that the diairc,al of to- secretary—Mr. Mowatt—will

WANT OF SEAMEN FOR TIIE NAVY.—The Greenock
Advertiser says :—The Admiralty have instructed Lieut.-
enniauder Boys to use increased exertions in raising
vigunteeis, partiaularly seamen, who are very scarce at
present. Artifiars arid etokers are corning in freely.
Capt Lord Frederick Kerr, her Majesty's ship Marl-
borough, has written expressing his high satisfaction with
the draft of volunteers sent to that ship from this port.
Three writs of certiorari have been received by the
Clerk of Arraigns at the Oid Bailey removing into the
Court of Queen's Bench the trials of Truelove, and of
Tchorzewski, for libel, and the indictment for conspiracy
against Dr. Bernard ; so that the trial of Dr. Bernard
on the capital charge will alone take place at the forth.
coming sessions at the Old Bailey.
BRIGHT CHANTIOLEER PROCLAIMS THE MORN.—Peo-
pie have not yet ceased to write about the eclipse. A.
gentleman residing in the vicinity of Dumfries informs
us that immediately upon the darkness produced by the
eclipse of the sun on the 15th instant abating, the cooks
in his farm yard commenced crowing lustily, and were
answered by all the birds of morn within hearing.
OUTRAGES BY AMERICAN SAILORS IN LIVERPOOL-7
ONE MAN KILLED AND ANOTHER SHOT.—At the Liver-
pool police court yesterday (Thursday) an American
sailor, named Michael Warey, was brought before Mr.
Mansfield, charged with having murdered a Dutchman,
named William Schomegan, a shoemaker. The parties
met in a casino on Wednesday night, and had a quarrel
nheer, der:
the other for stabbing. His worship said he would com,
about their different countries, when the prisoner drew
his knife and plunged it into the heart of deceased, kill-
ing him on the spot. He then ran at several other per-

municate with the Home S,cretary, in order to have
the prisoner tried in London, as the next assizes
were several months off. Another American sea-
man, named George Washington Dixon, was also
brought up, charged with shooting a coloured
mar, named Jeffrey Jackson, during what he called a
"muss" iu Banastre-street, on Wednesday night. Jack.
son was wounded in the arm, chest, and thigh ; a sur-
geon extracted a ball weighing 50 grains from the chest.
Mr. Mansfield, in committing the prisoner for trial, said
that the frequency of 'outrages by foreign seamen in
Liverpool must be stopp: d. He should also advise that
this case be tried at the Central Criminal Court in Lon-
don.

vestry from paving Regent etreet, which was paleed
unanimously.

Ragged School.
"Dear Sir,—As friends and acquaintances amongst
whom you have long lived and laboured, who have bad
ample opportunities of observing your character, and of
witnessing your self-denying efforts to do good, we have
united for the purpose of presenting you with a substantial
mark of our esteem, and of our high appreciation of your
novel and most successful attempts to provide and suggest
attractive and elevating entertainments for scholars in
Ragged Schools. We cannot, dear sir, be insensible to the
large amount of self-imposed toil to which, in addition to
your business engagements, you have thus subjected your-
self, in order to prepare those artistic scenes and sketches,
so well calculated to catch the eye and fix the attention of
the young; nor can we fail to admire the talent
which gives life to those scenes by narratives and ee-
tcriptions, and deduces lessons at once thrilling the mind,
and calling into action the better feelings of our nature. But
most of all we rejoice in the conviction that in all your pur-
poses and plans, it is your noble and exclusive aim, by the
bleasing of Almighty God, to do what you can to rescue
tomeof the myriads of outoutcast juvenile population from
the pestilential influences of low and vicious places of
amusement, and to show how pleasure and profit may be
combined, thus convincing all that religion never was
designed to make our pleasures less.' Accept then, dear
sir, the accompanying time-piece, together with the purse
containing 100 sovereigns, as a memorial to yourself and
your family of our hearty appreciation of your philanthro-
pic efforts, ant as an expression of our earnest hope that
your life may long be spared, that the lu:tre of your good
name may never be tarnished, that the bPssing of them
that are ready to perish may still come upon you, and that
at last, having served your generation by the will of God,
you may go hence to be included amongst those to whom
will be addressed the great Master's commendatory words,
Becalm ye have done it unto these little ones, ye have
done it unto me (Signed) " SHAFTESBURY,
"Chairman of the Committee, on behalf
of the general body of the subscribers."
The reading of this address was frequ-ntly inter-
rupt2d by hearty applause. At its clove the time-
piece which formed part of the testinionial was un-
covered, and testified by its appearance to the good
taste of those who were concerned iu its production
and its choice. It bore the, following inscription :-
4'. On the 24th day of March, 1858, the Right Hon. the
Earl of Shaftesbury presented this Time-piece and a Purse
containing 100 sovereigns, to Mr. W. H. Miller, as a me-
morial from his friend and neighbours of their high appre-
ciation of his efforts to instruct the outcast juvenile popu-
lation, through the medium of moral and intellectual en-
tertainments, expressly designed and prepared by him for
Ragged Schools."

The noble CHAIRMAN then rose to make the pre-
sentation. Addressing Mr. Miller, his lo (Is lip
said that a body of his friends had as•iigued to him
(the chairman) the office of giving effect and reality
to the apirit of the beautiful addrtas which had
just been read, and to a-k him to accept of some
substantial proof of the value in which they held
his services in the cause in which he had so zeal-
ously and happily engaged. It has been said that
the man -vho made two blades of grass grow where
only one had grown before, deserved the gratitude
of society. What then was due to the man who
had grafted on the stock of ignorance the precious
fruits of knowledge and religion ? (Applause.)
Mr. Miller had solved a great problem. and was
entitled to take rank with many ethtrs as one of
the benefactors of the human race. (Renewed.
applause.) He therefore asked Mr. Miller to ac-
cept this testimonial as a token of their approba-
tion of his talents, and of the mode in which he ap-
plied them. Mr. Miller had recognized in human
nature that faculty of admiration—a faculty must
Powerful in its influence, whether for good or evil.
Mr. Miller would, therefore, accept this testi-
monial as a token of their admiration of his talents
and character, and also as an expression of their
gratitude. It was true that Mr. Miller had only
done his duty in the sight of God ; but still those
who knew him could not but be grateful to him, as
to a fellow-creature whose talents had been governed
by Christian principles and reduced to Christian.
practice. (Loud applause.) He (the chairman)
knew that he spake the sentiments of all now pre-
sent, when he invoked the blessing of God on Mr.
Miller, with a wish that he might be blessed in his
work, that his days might be prolonged, and that

The Arrogant, 47, Captain Heath, C. 8., is ready
for trial f her en4ines, &c., at Porsmouth.
Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam sloop Prome-
theus, in dock at Woolwicb, has undergone a most
searching investigation relwive to the disease pro-
nounced to have overrun certain portions of her
hull, according to a preliminary survey made by
the shipwright department on her that admis-
sion into do :k. To asceitain the amount of injury
it was deemed necessary to relieve the entice
outer coating, which was found to be consi-
derably affect ?cl wi!la the destructive " rot."
On proceeding to a close survey of the principal
beams, and testing every fOnt of timber bearing
the slightest evidence of decay, a report was for-
warded to the Lords of the Admiralty, stating that
toe sum required to render her seaworthy would
amount to 16,000/. Many of her timbers, on the
application of the hammer, crumbled into dust. A
number of hands are actively engaged on beard in
order to push the work forward, so that she may
be ready for the pennant, as ordered, during tile
present spring.

The report of the directors of this company states
that the total ana,,unt of share capital which the
company is authorised to raise is 4,450,0001. cur-

Lion-couvertible bonds, and 938,888/. Government
loan (to be paid off.) The t dal expenditure to that
date amounted to 5,492,8561., including 422,1671.
expended on the Sarnia branch, 50 miles in length,
but not yet open; 110,0421. on the Gilt and Guelph
line, 15 miles in lengrh ; and 28,542/. part of a loan
to the Detroit and Milwaukie Railway Company.
The amount hitherto reserved as a sinking fund
has been transferred to revenue account, which
sum, with the undivided balance of last half-year,
amountedto6B,279/. The directors have thought it
right at once to carry to the debit of this surplus
revenue the whole cost incurred and compensations
actually paid for the Desja-dins Canal accilent last
year, amounting to 30,453/. ; in addition to which
bonds maturing at .Ari."'" 11,v
years, have been given for an aggregate sum of
9,8221., which will be placed against revenue as
mature, making together 40,275/. There are still
three or four unsettled cases ; but the directors do
not auticipae that the amount to be pail will be
large, the heavy claims having ben already dis-
posed of. The whole c :st of repairing the compound
rails by fish jointed T rails has been carried this half-
year to the debit of revenue, to the extent of 21,897/.
A further unusual amount is also carried to the bebit
of revenue this half-year, 6, 387/. , being so much traffic
receipts overstated for the half-year ending the
31st July, 1856. Those three items together amount
to 58,7371., after deducting which, together with
the charges proper to the half year for interest on
Government loan and on the company's bonds, the
balance of net revenue amounts to 103,654/., out
of which the directors re:zonamend the payment of
a dividend for the half -year at the rate of 54 per
cent, per annum, wich will absorb 92,4461., and
leave a surplus of 11,208/. for the ensuing half-
year.

PARIS AND ORLEANS.
The annual general meeting. of this company was
held on Tuesday i❑ Paris, M. B4r(holorty in the
chair. Mr. W. Gladstone and Mr J. D. Barry,
tht, two English directors, were present.

(From the Daily News.)

Watt has been restored to this country. Park
has been liberated conditionally, and wilt soon, no
doub-, be liberated absolute'y. When it is con.
sidereal that during ten months of Palmerston and
Clarendon thee men languished in prison with-
out a single effort being male for their liberation,
the speedy results that have followed the more
energetic interven' ion of the present Ministry are
no doubt calcal ated to create mixed feelings ref
satisfaction and humiliation. As far as these two
unfortunate Englishmen are concerned, there is a
.•ox*kck;rn .1.8-0 ...f ...bi,f-....ti5,,.• ;,, icflut..,Llng ttrat, LII,y
have at length been released from an intolerable
burden of uej tiA punishment and unmeri,cd suffer-
inee As far as England is concerned, it is to the
laa degree humiliating to know that this libera-
tion has not been effected till one of the sufferers
has lost his reason and both their health ; that
it has not been effected till the whole European
world has been astounded at our strange long-
suffering ; and that it has at last been conceded
as an act of grace, not paid as a debt of justice.
It is of the last importance that the international
view of this question should not be lo=t sight of.
It would ill comport with the high hearing for
which England in her dealings with foreign States
was once so lion 'trebly proverbial, it would be-
tray an entire forgetfulness of what is due to the
just demands of national self respect, if the English
people or t he Eng:ish Go vent ment were fora moment
to treat the res' orat on of Watt and the qualified
liberation of Park, as a sufficient atonement for the
indignity which, iu their persens, has been offered
to their country. Our ease against the Govern
ment of the Two Sicilies is, that these two English-
men
were seized without a shadow of right, and
imprisoned for ten m nths iu clear violation of
international law. To suppose that such a case as
this is to be adequately answered by sending one
of the man home, after he has been driven mad by
ill-treatment, and liberating the other, because his
healeh is so far undermined that his e would be
jeopardised by farther immisonment—is a pitiful
co ;ceit unwor by even of Lord Clarendon. Even
as far as the sufferers themselves are concerned, it
is plain, on the very face of the metier, that their
claim for reparation is irresistible. Mere liberation,
with shattered health, impaired intellect and ruined
prospects, from a cruel and unjust imprisonment,
an never be accepted by the released prisoners
themselves as an expiation of original wrong and
protracted outrage. Some substantial compensa-
tion is the very least that ought to be demanded in
a case in which no compensation can be an equiva-
lent for the wrong.
Bus if tii is be so as between these prisoners and the
IN eapslitau Government, how much more strongly
is it the case as between the Crown of England and
the Crown of the Two Sicilies -? Wring has ben
committed; insult has been offered; repa, anion must
be demanded and obtained. From first to last the
imprisonment of these two men has been as wrongful
as it has been merciless. Is it a sufficient acknow-
ledgement of that protracted wrong and that studied
contumely, simply to unbar the prison doors, which
ought never to have been closed, to terminate a
confinement which ought never to have commenced,
and to release these two Englishmen, after their
ten months' captivity, without a single expression
of regret, a single promise of reparation, or the
faintest semblance of an apology ? We rather
fancy that the Tudor Queen and the Puritan Pro-
tec-or would have known how to rej,ct and resent
such an insolent act of condescensioo as th s. Do
our readers remember the story of Cromwell, Car-
dinal Mazarin, and the Quaker ? In these days of
diplomatic deference to despots it may really be as
well to recall it. The vessel and cargo of a Quaker
merchant (there being no war between France and
this countrs ) had been wrongfully seized by a French
cruiser. The Quaker complained to the Protector,
and the Protector represented the matter to Maza-
rin. Mazarin, after procrastinating as long as he
could, finally declined to interfere. Upon this
his Highness instantly caused seizure to be made
of three French vessels, then in English poets, had
their proceeds sold, paid the Quaker the full amount
of his claim, and then directed his Latin Secretarsro,
eiren:ents„i jet e
Mr. Milton, to inform the Cardinal that
Litchi,
balance was held at the disposal of theceFordeivg,
Treasury. This very " unawiable" P
we are told, was attended by the bed it : it

of the company, in addition to she salaries and
wages, leaving 27,122,944 f. (1,084,9181.) for the
shareholders as in interest and dividend. Out of
this sum 9,000,000 f. (360,0001.) were paid on the
first of October, 1857, at the rate of 36f. per share,
and it was proposed to. pay a further sum to the
shareholders of 60f. per share, or 18,000,000 f.
(720,0001.) on the Ist of April, having a balance
of 122,944 f, (4,9181.) for the 'next account. The
dividend for the year amounted to 90f. per share
of 500 f., being atthe rate of 18 per cent per annum.
Formal resolutioni adopting the report and de-
claring the dividend were pmsed, and the meet-
tiug separated.

1 tardy concession, wrung from far and craft, not
justice, as a full satisfaction of our demands ? Are
we to waive all claim to apology and reparation,
and be very thankful that it has graciously
pleased his Majesty of the Two Sicilies to forego,
out of his savereign will and pleasure, the luxury
of continuing to inflict the mortal pains of
Neapolitan incarceration on two Engli-.hmen
whom he never bad a shade of right t't detain,
in durance for a moment? If we allow our-
selves to assume such an attitude as this, to
evade a common prosecution with Sardinia, of
the claims of international justice, bectuo.e we
have been insulted by the parade of royal c!enlency
—then indeed we shall have bsen rather losers than
gainers in the world's estimation and our own self-
respect by the restontiun of Watt and the release
of Park. But we will not anticipate such a con-
' summation as this. It is fair to credit with some-
thing nobler and manlier than this a Ministry
who, in this matter of the Cagliari, if they have
not done in tic!), have yet accomplished more in one
month ti an my

boat arid rtscuing, during a gale of wind, three fisher-
men from the sloop James Holmes of Douglas. The
fishermen had boarded the sloop after she had been
abandoned by her crew. They had nut, however, been
long there before they made signals of distress. The
chain had given way, and they were compelled to take to
the rigging. It was now blowing a terrific gale, and the
vessel was thrown on her beam-ends, and the poor crea-
tures were only rescued from an appalling death a few
minutes before the t.loop was in a thousand pieces.
A reward of 191. ss. was also voted to the crew of tire
Loweztolt boat, which is likewise in connection with
the National Lite-boat Institution, for their praiseworthy
conduct in rescuing, during a hurricai,e, tLe crew of five
men from the sloop Orwell, of Arbroath, which was
wrecked on the Newcome Sands on the 17th ult. Imme-
diately on the return of the life-boat with the men of the
shipwrecked vessel, she again put off with her gallant
crew to the assistance of another vessel which was seen
on the sands, but which had fortunately been driven
over them, and therefore did not want the help of the
life-boat.

A reward of 141. was likewise granted to the crew of
the same life-boat, for rescuing 12 men from the brig
Oewy, of Shoreham, which was during a heavy gale of
wind wrecked off the Gorton Sands.
Rewards amounting t 3 45/. were also voted to the
crews of the lifeboats cf the institution stationed at
Ilarpley, Pakefiehl, and Lytham, and other life-boats,
for putting off with a view of reuderiog assistance to
ships in distress.
A reward of 31. was voted to a boat's crew for rescuing
seven from a boat belonging to the brig Rose Macroon,
of Waterford, which during a gale of wind had sunk
eight or nine miles off Great Saltee Island. The poor
sailors, who had been for many hours driving in their
frail boat before the wind, were found to be quite ex-
hausted when rescued.
A reward of 61. 10i. was also voted to the crew of the
Mundesley life-boat, for putting off with the view of ren-
dering assistance to the crew of the schooner Jane, of
Ipswich ; but no sooner bad the boat been launched than
the spar to which the poor sailors were clinging went
down. A few minutes previously the shrieks of the
poor sufferers were distinctly heard. The vessel was
quite unseaworthy. Had she bcen stronger built the
crew might easily have been rescued.

A reward of 101. was likewise voted to a yawl's cr€w,
f ir putting off with the view of rendering assist-ince to
the crew of the brig Quicksilver, which had been in
collision with another ve ski, and was seen in a sinking
conditien off Winterton. When the yawl approached
her, however, it was found that no one was on board,
her crew, it was supposed, having been taken on beard
the vessel she had been in collision with.

Toe thanks of the Institution, inscribed on vellum,
acre also presented to Mr. John Block, of the Grange
far o, Isle of Wight, in testimony of h a highly merito-
rious -rvices n as's lug. by wsdirg into the surf, to
rescue 15 per.ons from the brig Tornersrin, cf Portugal,
which, during a gale of wind, was wrecked off Atber-
field. The other men who had assisted in the crew had
received pecuniary grants from local subscriptions.
A ra ward of 51. was also voted to two boats' crew for
put ing off and re, cuing the crew of the barque Eclipse,
of Yarmouth, svich, (luring a gale of wind, was wrecked
•ff Shetland. Also 31. to three men for pot ng off in a
boat and resouin., at the risk of their lives, three persona
who had cap,,iz-d from their boat on the c,a4 of Sher-

The 111Oelfra on the Anglesey coast, which
belongs to the National Life- ;oat Institution, had res-
card the fiat Hannah and her crew from imminent dan-
ger oil the 6th uli. The weather was at the time very
severe. tolowiro. dead .n r siad tbo Grow perfectly
ht-ljesS from cold and long exposure. Besides great gal-
lantry ant labour, much skill was displayed in getting
the vessel off from her dangerous position. the life-boat's
crew spoke very highly of the behaviour of the life boat.
It wa, r ported that the society's life boat stationed at
Waluter, had recently put ~ff to a ship that was seen on
the Goodwsn Sands. It was found however on approach-
ing the vessel that no one was el hoard. Thisisanother
lamentable idustration of the abs olute necessity for one
o` h, r Maje'ty's small steamers being constantly kept,
with her fires banked up in the Downs, with one or two
life-boats attached to her. The steamer might also be
ready to tow life-boats out to the vicinity of the Good-
win. We have often urged the adoption of some such
p'an ; and the National Lift-boat Institution, seconded
by the large mercantile and other bodies of the City have
a-1,2[114,1i il,sed the late B lard of Admiralty on this itnpor-
t.tnt and national subject ; but their appeal was not re-
garded. W 0 trust, how ever, that the , übject, which is
perfectly practicable, will again be revived, and that it
Kill receiva more at.tention from the present Board than
the late one. Some huedreds of our fellow creatnres
every year peri-h on these dangerous outlying sands be-
fore any human aid can possibly reach them fr)rn the
shore, as in the case above recorded ; and it is full time
that s 'melting should be done to lessen this dreadful
waste of human life, and the incalculable misery result-
ing from it amongst the widows and orphans of the
drowned.

The Portmadoc which belongs to the institu-
tion, wa said to have rendered important services to the
steamer Plynlynnon, which was recently in a dangerous
position off Portmailoc. The life-boat remained by tus
steamer a day and night, at the ri-k of being stove to
pieces. Ultimately, however, the steamer was got off
and proceeced o her voyage. Agreeably to the strict
orders of the institution, its lift-boats are never to en-
courage crews to leA% e unneces,,ary their ships, and thus
it not unfrequently baopens that, through the ihs' rurnen•
taity of the valr.:.ble ships and cargoes are
saved from destmc

Durinz the past month the society bad sent new life-
boats to -Pilling, in N, rtolk ; Ardmore, in Ireland ; and
to Dover, and two others are about to be sent to Hastings

The benevolent donor of the cost of a life-boat to the
institution had requested that it might be named the
llAvelock. As a means of rescue fr..m danger, the name
appeared to be appropriate ; and he was desirous that
the name of that Christ;ao should be cherished on the
Scotch coat, where the lif—boat is to be placed.
Upwards of 1,3001. was ordered to be paid for various
life-boats and transporting carriages.

THE KNIFE BETWEEN THE ALLOPATH AND
HOWEOPATIIIC DOCTORS —To the Editor,—Sir--By the
Lancet of last Saturday it would appear that a casus
belli exists between the sons of E-Tulaptus—an Allcpath
has refused to meet a HOMO ,path 1 Where and when is
all this to end! What a ith gagging medical bills in
Parliament on the one hard, and doctors' di'pates on
the other, John Bull is kept in a most beatviful state of
suspense as regards the treatment of his body. How
different is the Hygeian system of James Morrison, in
which nothing but harmony exists, and which fully
a?c-tunts to the meanest capacity for the arcana of health
and disease. So far as the practice of doctors is con-
cerned the great and immortal Harvey need never h .vd
lived, for they have derived no practical leoefit from his
discovery of the circulation of the blood. It was !eft to
James Morrison, the Hygeist, to follow up and perfect
the great discovery cf Harvey, which is fully proved by
tha " Morrisoniana." Let, there fJle-0, dctitors and ra.r.
lianaent do what they please, they cannot alter the great
laws of nature ; but let them bear in mied that the first-
