Mr.. Bennett's Letters from Europe.
Before our paper of this date reaches Europe, Mr..
Bennett WILL in all probability, have arrived there,
ndby the return OF the Great Western, or perhaps
sooner, we shall receive the first of his promised
series of letters on the present political and social
condition of Great Britain great deal OF interest
has naturally been excited respecting the accom-
plishment of Mr. Benefits principal objects In visit
ing the old world and our readers look with great
anxiety for the results of his observation. HIS let
tiers will not be, like those of several newspaper
scrbblers who have recently visited Europe, or are
now engaged in travelling there,-mere compila-
lions from guide books. They will contain some
thing more valuable rhanprosy and often blunder-
ing descriptions of scenery. Conversant tor long
period with the politics ofEngand and this country,
and familiar with all their existing relations, Mr.
Bennett will be enabled to communicate large
amount of valuable information, and his opinions
will, we are assured, deservedly command some
respect and attention.
The progress and prospects of the Repeal agita
ton-the struggles of The CEartiss-the growing
advance of democratic principles in church and
IN Great Britain and throughout Christendom. On
these, and all kindred topics, Mr.. Bennett pro-
poses to write at considerable length.
In order to collect materials for graphic and en-
tertaining sketches of the social condition of Eng
land and France, Mr. Bennett will visit the chief
fashionable watering places, and summer resorts
subjects, which, need not tell the readers of this
paper. will be handled in the most amusing and
agreeable style.
Not the least important object of MIR. Benefits
voyage was the extension and completion of
important arrangements for the earliest trans
mission to this office of important intelligence
from Europe. He will have some official
intercourse with the French government rela.
tive to their transatlantic steamships, and no
proper effort will be wanting on his part to en-
able the Herald to supply the Union, including eur
neighbors at Boston, with the first intelligence of all
the movements in the old world. If Mr.. Bennett
succeeds IN carrying out all his plans-and if he
fail, 1t will not be for want of tact and energy-he
Herald will be made still more worthy of the public
patronage, and its present commanding influence
receive great accession of strength and power
THE CASE OF Mas. GILMouR.-The proceedings
In tie case of this unfortunate female were again
postponed yesterday, in consequence of the severe
illness OF MIR Warner, her counsel An affidavitto
that effect was presented, and also certificate from
DR.. Nelson, Mr.. WIS medical attendant. The exa.
mnation OF the medical witnesses was accordingly
adjourned till Saturday, at o'clock in the afternoon.
A little incident occurred, when the affidavit re-
speeding Mr. Warmers illness was presented to the
commissioner, which we may mention, as it pre-
seats beautiful illustration OF that contemplate
feeling of professional jealousy which has so repeat
eddy degraded the medical profession of this city in
the eyes of all honorable men. The Commissioner,
forgetting Tor moment that Dr.. Nelson was one of
the medical gentlemen appointed to investigate the
mental condition of the prisoner, seeing his
appended TO the certificate of Mr. Warmers illness,
asked, " Is DR.. Nelson practising physician? and
then turning TO DR.. Hosack, inquired" Do you
know him, Doctor?' The Doctor started to his
feet, and said, No, sir, don't" Several highly
respectable gentlemen who were present, imme-
diately rose to inform the Commissioner, that DR.
Nelson the eminent Canadian surgeon recently
settled here; and one of them, with surprise,
asked DR.. Hosack-" Why, is il possible, Doctor,
that you don't know DR.. Nelson?' "Oh," replied
Dr. H., 'yes--no that is, don't know him per
sonally." We think DR.. Hosack might have
replied to the commissioners inquiry" have not
the pleasure OF knowing Dr. Nelson personally,
but know him by reputation to be highly re-
spectableiphysician." However, we must not expect
too much from the Doctors. New York doctors
have never, we believe, been particularly distn-
guished tor poteness and fraternal affection to one
another AS 10 DR.. Nelson's notoriety here, the
thing will speak for itself He is rapidly get
ting into splendid practice.
Respecting this investigation, very great deal
of interest has been excited, and il is daily increa-
sing The spectators yesterday were much more |
numerous than on any of the preceding days We |
do not wonder at this There are many circum- |
stances connected with the case which invest il |
with interest beside the fact ofits being the first case
occurring under the treaty. We repubsh the clause
in this treaty bearing on the easel
Extract from 10th article
Provided that TO wit surrender) shall only be done
upon such evidence of criminaty as according to |
the laws the place, where the fugitive person
charged shall be found, would justify his apprehension
and commitment for hia the crime offence had been
there committed
The proceedings in the case, promise to be suffi-
GENTLY protracted at all events; but we are unwil
ling to make any further remark until the matter
has passed from the hands of Mr. Rapelyea, of whose
competency pass il in It's present stage there
can be no doubt
STEAM SHIP COLUMBIA SAFE.-The schooner La
grange, Captain Allen, arrived at Boston Tues.

Halifax, 30 miles east of that port, on the afternoon
of Wednesday, the 9Th inst.s This was doubt the
