From the ~. Y. Com. .fdpsrtiser Of Tuesday
.Hnsa,eraIe mentioned on Wednes-

| certain Individuals to travestle themselves
and resolve socictyiuto its primitive elements,
in the Park Tacatre They did so according
| ". A portion OF the sovereign people, -eitf-
| er fre,n being principied against such non
| sc1isicai y,rovocatives to righteousness, and
| sorsowfh struggles for amusement, or from
1 the love Of fan---held saturpalia Of their

atre. They took the liberty of oTerhauiing
the arrivals at its portals, and several exqu

been Somewhat alarmed thcing paved and

examination. The more morbidiy delicate
! ones effected their entrance TO the temple Of
| delight, by crawling round the broad and
beautiful avenues of Ana street and Theatre
Alley, and insinuated themselves into Abe
houses that way.-In the mean time, the
front Of the building was asssiled By volley
Of such missiles as the streets supplied; and
the passing sla2icr chuckled internally at the
prospect Of profitable job. Under these
circumstances, the Executive OF the "Free
and Easyr inside, sent his compliments to
the Mayor, begging the loan of fifty consta-
bes to uuei The row outside His Honor
| very properly sent word back. that as the
! omniun gatherum in the inside was contrary
to law, the managers must find police for
themselves; and if they wanted war, must
turn out their Own troops. How much aara
age was done to men, women and things. we
do not know; but we saw the GLACIERS merri
ly at work the next day IN front OF the Thea
tire; and it has been said, that a piece of a
young ladywas found in the mud, in the al

! Liberty 0tthe Press--It is a singular and
! somewhat ominous fact. that a Simultaneous
attack has been made ny the government of
! England, France and the Netherlands, upon
| the liberty of the press. In the TIVE former
les it has appeared IN the form Of pro
sccution against certain editors Mho are sup
! poscdto have expressed themselves TOO free
/ ly on the coDdHct on the government and Its
! Ministers, while in the latter. 1t has taken
the combinedform of state prosecutions and
| Legislative enactments in London no less
| than tive prosecutions have been instituted
t against a gle journal The editorial corps
are little puzzled TO know what iAterpreta-
tons to give to these movements, but judy
ang from the tone of their remarks, they are
not without suspicion that royal coR15ina-
ton has teen formed against them, which
will extend its influence beyond the present
| occasion
The results Of the prosecutions in France,
which IN many cases have been favorable to
the defendants, i'll spite Of the influence Of
Ministers, are regarded as signal triumph
by the liberal party. and the mere Sc when
eoatraStcd with the SO aIlty, ""suiity, ;" @G,Ei-
ty," pronounced in fhe English Courts under
! very nearly the same circumstances. The
English themselves are ready to admit. that
go far as the present trials are 10 be taken IN
proof, the liberty of fhe press rs greater an
Franco than M rbefr @,vn country. A gentle
man who hadiong resided in England, though
a native OF the CentEcnt, gcmarGed On con-
side1Ing the results of these prosecutions,
1'that while France is making rapid advances
IN liberty and knowledge England is gsins
as rapidly backward; and from hepcefoIth he
declares that he would rather live under the
protection of the Preach than of the British
Censtittion."--.& Y. do,r. Of Commerce.
A Washington svritcr, mentioning the
speech Of The Hon. Ambrose Spencer, of n.
York, on the Judiciary Bill, says:
81 regret that the difficulty of hearing pre-
vents my being able TO give any sketch of
speech, which was listened to with much at
tention; and have no doubt will be real
with much satisfaction. The Judge was Oh
posed to az increase ofJudges sf the Supreme
Court, in favor of a new arrangement Of the
circuits according to scaae he proposed, and
opposed to the residence of Judge In the
Circuit where he presided-he contended
that justice required that Judge should be
ignorant CT the Plaintiff aud Defendant rs
well "a the facts Of case--if practicable
until they come before him judicially."
