long tine, and has not done single act for the cone
Dsree a the city. For period she was unfit for
use, but now that she is cspsbls Of going to Sandy
Hook and back, we should think that the govern.
ment would keep her on duty and not AZ anchor
the Brooklyn shore decay and be total loss the
country IL she had taken sufficient fuel on board
last Friday when she ordered to cruise for the
SLAYER, this suspicious vessel would now be in our
harbor But instead of doing what she ought to have
done, fifteen hours fuel only taken in and off she
started. The consequence ofthis negligence was she
was compelled to return the next morniug. Wha
msmanagement
Yesterday morning she again started, and
when abreast Of the Screw Dock she ran into
brig at anchor in the East River and carried away
ner starboard quarter boat great deal of her
ming rigging and spanker boom. This was gross care
essness on the part of those board the Fulton for
tnere was plenty Of space either side of the brig
for twenty steamers like the British Queen to pass
abreast. Where is Captain Perry He certainly
cannot be board for if he had been nothing like
this would have happened.
This last accident was Of such a nature that
very interesting tale could be made OF it,
and the probability is that Mrs. Secretary Pauld-
ing will write pretty description of the collision for
the Mirror" before she leaves town She is sny fit
Tor such business and is far better adapted write
love stories than to regulate the naval affairs Of the
United States.
N. B.-Since the above the Fulton has returned to
the City, with her boxes smashed in and is now at
the Navy yard repairing aad taking iu ammunition.
Wheat pretty home squadron we have. Whenever
pirate appears off the coast, it takes two or three
days to dispatch a vessel to capture her.

lot to witness and comment the conduct of Police
Magistrates towards the poor and frendiess; but
any thing like the conduct we about to mention,
and which is attributed to Mr.. Justice Palmer by
two Of our NEST respectable citizens, is certainly
novel thing to us. Generally speaking, these func
tionaries ready enough to snub those Of low de-
gree and to toady the man Of high estate; and why
Justice Palmer should reverse the custom Of his CO.
temporaries, is more than we can divine.
II seems that merchant who lives in st. John's |
Square recently caused a couple of negrs rascas to
be arrested, whom he charged with burglarioasly
entering his premises. The proof was clear, and the
culprit had defence, but instead of committing
these negro pests for trial. Justice Palmer in the
penitude Of his wisdom, discharged one, and admit
ted the other TO bail in the of $500. The COM
painant presumed FAR as to express his astOnish-
ment, and to demonstrate with the Justice when
that functionsry ordered him to be ruRNE D. ovr OF
THE oFPicE. We have certainly seen similar ebu-
tions Of spleen exhibited at the Lower Office, but
we did hope for better things at the Upper and
IA ashionable, part Of this refined city
This, however, is not the only of the kind for
he next day another gentleman applied to the same
Magistrate for assistance pre-
rom forsibay entering his premises, under color of,
hough without the authority Of the law n was
in which force threatened to bs sorted
md nothing but the presence Of the Police could
prevent the outrage. A respectable counsellor at
aw stated the case TO the worthy Magistrate, and
fered proof Of the peaceable possession Of the pre-
nses on the part Of his client for the three Prece-
ling years The Magistrate refused to grant the aid
equired, and directly afterwards one Of the other
party applied for warrant, obtained it, and got this
itizen arrested under the pretsncs that he stood
ear Of his nc; and while he was thus detained for
osl the ether side wsnt and pulled down this mans
dwelling.
We hope Justice Ialner can expais his conduct
in these cases but frsm the respectable standing in
society cs inforrsants, fear that he cannot
alter the complexion OF this statement.
TIE SLAvER.-Fssther particaiars-There was
considerable excitement in the city throughout yes
terday abcut the Suspicious vessel" She has been

piratical feeling towards other vessels, that the
