OUR NAvY.-What funny navy we have, and
what old woman and twaddler in breaches Ter its
head Every thing gres wrong, and If it were not
for the spirit and ambition Of some of our young naval
officers, Satan would sosn be High Admiral Of the
whole concern. We have home squadron and no
home protection whatever. Whenever suspicious
vessel pirate, or the Flying Dutchman, appears on
coast it takes several days to get vessel Of
off after her. The 'sAmistad' was Thurs
day. and it was not till Friday afternoon that the Full
ton and Wave started in pursuit. The latter, com.
manded by Lieutenant John II. Mitchell, dashed on,
but the Fulton that famous steam frigate, Capt Per-
ry came back, after having gone about one hundred
miles hence and being absent twenty hours ! Cap
tain Perry may have been justified in returning, and
perhaps he has eogent reasons for SO doing. But
how queer it looks for government steamer said to
be superior the Great Western, to start cruize
for pirate and return in tw enty hours after without
her and without fuel to search any longer. We be-
lieve, however, that she had fuel enough to have
gone round into New London.
There certainly cannot be any system in naval
affairs. Mrs Paulding does nothing but write para
graphs for the . Globe and Sc Mirror" and the
Commits sioners are much worse. The schooner
Wave went IF without her right commander, and
there is likely to be row about that. Lieutenant
Howard, who is her Captain, being absent, Lieute-
nant Mitchell was ordered to her, and away he went
rounded Montauk Psint, touched at New London,
and arrived back at the Navy Yard safe and sound,
but found every thing in high glee, Commodore
Rdgely up the river, Captain Stringham, Command
ant pro tenn and Lieutenant Howard reported 10 the
Department for neglect of duty. Cinguez must be
immsrtalized for creating such row.
Its a pity another pirate can't show himself off
Ca l. IL 10 nvrNh
Why cant another Cinguez, in another schooner,

ally known that this black patriot, or pirate,

Gallatin, the Rush, the Vigilant and the Welcott,

for him, and while they were crowding all sail,
Capt Gedney, Of the U. s. brig Washington, and his
officers, without any previous knowledge whate-

PHILOSOPHY OF FORESTS AcrISG.-Edwin
Forrest is playing engagement TO fashionable
houses at the National Theatre, besides crammed
up pits, and the Shakespeare filled with colored
gentry to suffocation. While we hold our long nose
at the mention Of the last, let state opinion
not deal out criticism.
Forrest is undoubtedly original actor, and is in
the highway to more durable popularity than he
dreams Of if his foolish friends do not spoil him
the way. We have never yet a good philoso-
phica criticism Of Mr.. Forests talents for the re-
marks which occasionally appear in the Evening
Post puffs without doing justice TO his real
merits or pointing out his real faults To estimate
Forrest we must embrace his personal history-his
life from infancyhis character off the stage-his fe
verish ambition-his brilliant points-and, though
last least his thews and sinews head, arms, and
legs.
Forrest differs from all the great English actors
that we have seen-but he is net wrong because
his style is his own. Maeready, vandenhof Charles
Kean, belong to the artificial, chaste, classical
school Of Eagland-Forrest to the energetic, bold,
fierce, feeling, deep, sometimes coarse style Of an
original drama. The strongest points which Forrest
makes those embracing the moral feelings of Ii

stage was part Of the state, and statesmen where

evident that they must be tried here. They were
taken the waters Of Suffolk County, Long Island,
and this brings them within the jurisdiction of the
southern district court of the State of New York,
and before this court they must be tried if tried at
all. But the Spanish government may demand them

the surrender Of runaway slaves they must be de-

are to be tried by this government or its agents.
