IHE VOTE Of THE COURT MAkTIAL.-Iherc ap.
pears to be great delay in Philadelphia in examn-
Ing Captains Read and Granger, to ascertain the
vote of the Court Martial on Alexander Mckenzie.
No matter-the facts will be brought out in another
way. We understand that the counsel in the case
of Sullivan versus Mckenzie, have sent a commits
sion to Baltimore, to ask, under oath, of Mr. Nor
rs the Judge Advocate, certain questions that will
bring out all the facts-the votes of each member
what was said on the occasion, and every other item
calculating the opinion of the Court. 1t will be Gu
rious and important.
THE NRw MIRRoR.-When Gen. Morris retired,
year or more ago, from the old New York Mirror,
we suspected that he was plotting some mischief
Our brethren of the press talked of his reposng on
his aurels he himself affected indifference to every
thing for own part, knowing the dangerous dis
position of the man, not altogether luled to
sleep; we confidently expected to see him before
long break out in a new place, and we well knew
that when he did ibreak out it would be like the
Irish rebellion, forty thousand strong.''
We now understand his tactic; and for ourselves
we shall never trust man of genius again. He
had retired, we now can understand, to mature and
complete IN silence, fan idea in popular Literature,
which we confidently assert 10 be perhaps, the most
original brilliant and felicitous conception that in
venton ever gave to art for the qualification of the
taste of the public. The first explosion of the NINE
was in the illustrated edition of The Deserted
Bride :" when the community were surprised by
the exhibition of new and unique style of embel-
shment the most varied elegant, and effective ina
enable. The critics who are as completely proof
against being duped by novelty as the keeper of
the Patent Office himself, said, "Aye, but consider
the expense; at two dollars volume any body
could'-"Not So" replies theGeneral as quick as
light, proud to show that he can sound his new in
vention from its lowest note to the top OF its COM
pass, ''you shall have the same or better for six
pence week !" and behold, true to the boast, and
beyond our belief, here is the same combination of
elegan; literature and exquisite art, in the New
MIRROR for price !almost ridiculously small. In.
deed eur readers will hardly trust us in saying that
they here receive sixteen pages of excellent matter
mostly original together with page of those bold,
fresh, highly finished drawings, for six cents.
But here is the paradox-you buy cheap what you
cannot hold cheap.

SANDWICH IsLANDs.-A small vessel arrived at this
port last week from Oahu, and has for part of her
cargo six thousand and one hundred bags sugar. To
import sugars from the most distant Pacific islands
into the United States, is remarkable feature in
trade. The industry OF the people Of these islands
is now very successfully employed in raising the
cane, and they will shortly compete with the West
Indies in supplying part of the world, at least with
that great staple, sugar.
The natives are becoming chrstianized and civil
ized and very fast advancing agriculture and &C.
neral industry. 1t is believed they supply sugar
under their freeslabor system at a much cheaper
price than the West India planters. The people, as
they advance in agriculture, seem at the same time
to be growing into importance as a government
Our government have lately appointed Commits
soner to proceed to the islands to look after Ameri
can interests there, and several OF the European
powers have acknowledged their Independence
They are shaking off their indolent habits and be-
coming an intelligent people-their minds and un-
delstandings become enlarged and their wants in
crease-hey engage in agriculture, andt produce
is sent of and exchanged for goods such as their
wants and improved condition demand. We
send them our manufactures in exchange for
their sugars and molasses, and they do not tax us
one hundred and fifty per cent on invoice cost of
our goods, as do on their sugars, in The shape of
duties.
s Four ELEPHANTS IN HARNEss.-This is sight
never before seen, we believe, even in New York.
1t was exhibited yesterday throughiall the principal
streets of the city by the famous Driesbach. -Four
elephants were harnessed to a Wagon, in which
were drawn the band belonging to the establish
