Daring Outrage.-An express from Water.
town reached this city yesterday afternoon,
bringing dispatches to Gov. Marcy, from
the District Attorney, Marshal, &c. at that
place, by which we regret to learn that a
most extraordinary outrage was committed
within the American waters, early on Thurs
day morning. The British steamboat Sir
Robert Peel, lying about seven miles from
French creek, on the river st. Lawrence, was
forclbly seized by body of armed men;
Supposed to be Canadian refugees, set on fire
and entirely consumed.
We trust that. by the prompt action Of the
civil authorities, aided by the military, all
farther aggression or apprehended retaliation
may be prevented and that the perpetrators
of the outrage may be discovered and bro't
to merited punishment. ~
Gov. Marcy coneeiving the circumstances
such as to require the immediate interposition
ofthe state authorities, left town soon after the
arrival ofthe EXPRESS in the evening cars for
Utica, and thence, by relays Of horses. to
Waterfowl.

We have great satisfaction in presenting
to our readers the following letter from Mr..
Biddle to Mr.. Adams. II shows how prompt
ly the Banks avail themselves of the first
movement which indicates a favorable
change in the disposition Of the Government,
and Il furnishes the first intimation upon
which the country may rely ofan approach

PHILADELPHIA, May 81, 1888.
My dear Sir-In my letter of the 7th ult. /
stated my belief that there could be no safe
nor permanent resumption of specie pay
ments by the banks, until the policy Of the
government towards them was changed.
The repeal of the specie circular by Con-
gress makes that change. see now, what
until now have not seen, the means Of re.
storing the currency.
Irejoice very sincerely at the termination
Of this unhappy controversy, and shall COR
daily cooperate with the government by
promoting what the Banks are. am sure,
anxious to effect. an early resumption ofspe-
Gle payments throughout the Union.

of fugitive slaves. Mr.. Sherman explained
and enforced the provisions of the bill show
ing the injustice and oppression Of the present
law, and declaring that the law of Congress
on the subject was unconstitutional and void.
Mr.. Catlin replied at some length, main
tanning the constitutionalify Of the present
law. and expressing his opinion that 1t was
inexPedient to legislate on the subject at the
present time. He moved that the bill be
continued to the next session.
Mr.. Sherman urged immediate action. He
said many cases might occur between this
and the next session.
Mr.. Kibbe moved the previous question.

Mr.. Catlin replied to Mr.. Sherman. reiter-
aiing his former objections. He said il was
not necessary to agitate the principle of trial
by Jury, but he wished 70 do nothing which
would conflict with the Constitution of the
United States. He thought the effect Of the
bill would be to prevent the recovery Of any
fugitive slave. He hoped it would be con-
tinued.
Mr.. Stearns followed in reply to Mr.. Cat
lin. when the question was taken on the mo-
tion to postpone. and there appeared ayes GO

Mr.. Sherman and Mr.. Catlin moved amend

Most horrid Murder-we are seldom called upon
to record a more diabolcal murder than one perpe-
mons, east Of the Maryland Hospital, within the
limits of the city. We extract from the Transcript

places; and blow with Ratchet across the nose,

in the lower part Of the abdomen A large new

face inflicted, found some distance from the
body in gutter.

pie who heard the cry were afraid to venture to the
spot, and made no inquiry into the cause Of the
disturbance until in the morning, when the body was
found"
The body has been recognised 10 be that of Mr.
Benjamin Stewart, of Cambridge, Dorchester coun-
", in this State. 1t is not known, can scarcely
be coniectured how he came in that unfrequented
part Of the city, section where stranger is seldom
seen, and where he could have possible business
at that unreasonable hour. The opinion prevails
that he was decoyed there by the murdercrs under
what pretence, is not known. The Ratchet is one of
particular make, and was purchased on the even
ing previous at the store Of Mr. Matthew Drake,
who we believe, is the only person who keeps that
description in the city. Three persons have been
arrested, and in prison on suspicion of being
the actors in this bloody transaction-a man named
Thomas Gardner, another named John Hall, and
woman named Ann Eggleston; several witnesses
have been summoned, who will appear before the
Grand Jury this day. The circumstances said to

at liberty to detail them previous to their being
brought out before the proper tribunal. I'LL.
