LATE FROM SrAlN--Captain Lane of the ship
Alabamian, from Gibraltar sailed July s. reports
that on his way to Gibraltar from Genoa he
touched at Malaga, and sent boat ashore He
learned from the American Consul that the Cata-
Ionian troops had surrendered to the insurgents,
on account Of which the citizens were ringing
bells, firing guns and making other demonstrations
of Joy.
A Spanish frigate was lying off Malaga, with
her tender, and it was feared that she would fire
on the city, but she dropped down about five miles.
The intelligence from the Regent was that he was
at Valencia with $4,000 troops, preparing to take
active active measures against the insurgents
The Alabamian passed another Spanish frgatc,
supposed to beon her way to join the first.
At the last advices by way of England Espar-
tero was marching toward Valencia, the inhabit-
ants of which city had joined the insurrccton.
From the language of our news collector we can
not tell whether the Regent had entered the city,
or only before it with MS army, preparing to
attack it. The "Catalonian troops" spoken Of
were probably those Of Zurbano Commercial

Deferred BY mistake)

Abner Rogers, Jr who killed Warren Lincoln
Warden of the Massachusetts State PHson, IN
the presence of keepers, vIsiters and fellow con-
vcts in June. has in effect been acquitted OF Mur-
der on the ground of insanity. The Jury, alter
an able charge from Chief Justice Shaw, retired
and were absent seven hours and half, when
they returned, declaring 1t utterly impossible that
they should agree on a verdict. Ii is known that
eight of them were for acquttal and four for con-
vcuon. They were the.eupon discharged, and
Rorers renlanded to prison for 3 new trial IN No
vernber But there can be little prospect OF his
conviction then or thereafter.
When the murder was announced, the journals
dehghting in Capital Punishment were eager IN
appealing TO it as an overwhelming argument IN
favor of their penalty. There would be no safe
ty for Prison officers, it urged, if such mur-
de5ers were not hung. We admitted their premises
and thence deduced different conclusion. Now
it strikes us that the case is on our side. The
man has been tried for murder so committed in
the face OF hundred witnesses, and yet he is not
convicted. Where, then, is the security OF Prl-
son officers under the Hanging system
Public opinion was entirely against the prison.
cr, eagerly demanding and expecting his convlc-
ton. But a majority of the Jury, after hearing
the evidence on both sides Of the case, have come
to the conclusion that the perpetrator was and Is
insane and they could not convict him.
We do not dispute the justice of this verdict,
but we think large portion OF criminals are IN
sane Just as Rogers is--not so benighted as not
TO know any difference between good and evil !;
but so debased BY vice, perverted by crime, and
goaded by suffering and the singing sense OF
their hopeless degradation as to have no clear
idea of the nature of their own actions Such
men, acting under irritation and in mental dark
ness well nigh monomaniac, jurles, even of the
frmest advocates Of Capital Punishment, dread TO
take the responsibility Of hanging. They shrink
from the fearful responsibility of taking the life
Of a fellow-man for decd done under circum-
stances which at least render it doubtful whether
he acted in his right mind. But if the punish
ment for killing were Imprisonment for Llle, they
would impose it, knowing that if the cuprlt were
insane, the punishment would do him no injury !;
and if he were not, it would be fully deserved.
Had such been the penalty in Massachusetts, we
are confident Rogers would have been brought in
guilty

A DEMAND ON ENGLAND UNDER THE LATE
TREATY.-Our readers will doubtless recollect the
daring and extensive lorgcries committed in the
Western States and IN this city some two years
ago, by bold and finished villain who emerged
from New Orleans and during his flight north
ward and eastward succeeded IN obtaining from
a number of Banks and individuals moro than
100000, of which same $4,000 were drawn
from Jacob Little & Co. of this city. AS every
effort made to detect and arrest the perpctrator
of these feIonies had proved unsuccessful, il is
probable that he would have escaped discovery
had he not for the purpose Of more perfect secu-
ritv crossed The Atlantic and financiered IN Eng
land in way to fasten suspicion strongly upon
him The tshburtcn Treaty having in the inte-
rum opened to each Of the high contracting par
ties right to demand and receive their fugitivcs
from Justice of each other, when charged with
high crimes, that they might be taken to their
respective countries for trial, and the pcrpetrator
of those extensive iorgeres, whose name is stated
to be John Reed having in the pursuit of his avo-
cations in England unintentionay furnished
traces OF his own guilt that could not readily be
mistaken, he was arrested and placed in durcss
until he could be demanded by the authorities of
this country. That demand is now about to be
made, as Oliver NJ Lowndes, ESQ. and Benjamin
]. Hays, Police Officer, having been provided
with The necessary credentials, papers and docu
ments, and clothed with the legitimate authority,
left this city yesterday afternoon and proceeded
10 Boston to embark III the steamer Caledonia for
Liverpool, TO demand and receive John Reed, the
accomplished Eorgcr, and conduct him hither for
trial 1t is hoped that they will be successful in
their mission, and meet with no opposing obsa
clcs to defeat or delay the accomplishment of its
object

At the ballot-hox, who IN fact are, and always
must needs be, only small minority of the whole

could really be heard, would be loud and earnest
In condemnation Of the tendency OF which we
speak They feel that they want intelligence,
want light, and they look eagerly around for II;
but between them and the light stand ever this
immense body Of shallow -pated politicians, who
dread nothing so much as popular intelligence,
and whose sole chance of success is N shutting
out the light, and making the people believe that
they, the people, are already masters Of political
science. Here lies the evil. Nearly all our VII
tcrs our whole newspaper press, with a few hon
orabIe exceptions, do little else than echo what
they take TO be the dominant convictions OF Their
respective parties, sects, Or schools; and If one
