The Next Foreign News--An extraordinary
Express from Boston

We have, as usual, made our arrangements 10
run special and extraordinary express from Bos-
ton, on the arrival Of the Canbria-say on Tues
day or Wednesday nex, provided that steamer
reaches Boston at an hour that will make an ex-
press necessary.
The news that this steamer will bring may be OF
considerable importance to the politician, philoso-
pher, ship owner, and cotton speculator ol TINS
country. We shall!receive the Queens Speech on
the opening OF the British Parliament. the tenor OF
which may have important bearing on the
affairs of America; We are IN hopes OF hearing
that the absent packets England and United States
have put into Lisbon-the only chance now left !;
we shall know the fate OF many cotton spectators
whose existence, almost, seems 20 hang on rise or
fall OF the price in the European market and we
shall learn enough else TO be of use TO US, and 10
this part of the world.
We shall, as we have already stated, get this
news by special express from Boston, il the
steamer arrives there at the right time, and IN
twenty minutes after it reaches New York, We
shall despatch it in ETtra Rerads, also by express,
through to New Orleans, 10 touch al the principal
cities en route We mean to do this to try the
mettle OF Cave Johnson, the new Postmaster-Gen-
eral. We ran expresses against Mr. Wcklffe,
and found ii easy enough, too easy, in fact, to
beat him. We frequently distanced his expresses
twenty -four hours in going TO New Orleans, and
are determined 10 test the speed and bottom
oi Cave Johnson. We are in hopes OF having III
him one worth contending against, for he has long
legs, and can run pretty fast. We shall see whe-
ther or not he can beat us We shall give him a
years trial.
Ia the meantime, to tae arrival OF the Cambria,
we are on the look out for the packets One or
two may drop in before next Wednesday,

DEAR Sir; = In reply to your correspondent

retail dry goods stores Of Philadelphia, which are
nearly exclusively attended by young ladies', who

ABOLITION CONVENTION AT WAsHINGToN.
The Albany Patriot says it is in contemplation
to hold an Abolition Convention in Washing
ton City on the LIST of March next, provided
200 persons in the various States will agree
to attend it. The object Of this movement is
set forth as follows:
81. 1t will be to inquire infinitely into the
extent of slavery in the District of Columbia,
and the Territory of Florida.
2. To get at facts relative to the sale and
transfer of slaves, through the facilities fur
nished by the Interstate Slave trade under the
protection of the flag of the United States, and
to take measures for the abolition of said trade.
8. To arrive, as far as may be practicable, at
the amount of support which the government
indirectly furnishes to slavery by and through
its diplomatic intercourse
Application will be made at the proper time
to the House of Representatives for the use of
their Hall. The Colonization and Temperance
Societies have had it, and there is no reason
why that body should refuse to grant it to U.S..
Should such application be refused, however,
the Convention will meet on the National
grounds, near the Capitol"

TRIAL OF BISHOP ONpERDoNK, The New
York True Sun furnishes the following in rea-
ton to this tral
The evidence OH the part of the presenting
Bishops closed, we believe, on Monday or Tues
day last. The last of the witnesses Oh that
side were some clergymen, who testified that
certain acts complained of before the Conven-
ton, had been complained of at the time 10 The
Bishop.
The evidence on the part of the Bishop then
commenced, and its object was to show that
the females who had given, as we assert, direct
and important testimony, had subsequently trea-
ted the Bishop in so friendly way, as to leave
the inference that they themselves did not
think the matters complained of no,c, as very
criminal then.
This evidence is of negative character, and
does not amount to amy thing ,ohaterer. On the
cross examination Of one Of these negatives, it
was admitted that he had been sent by one of
the Bishops friends to see two of the female
witnesses, for purposes iphich utterly failed
We therefore, unhestatingly say, that the
veracity of the witnesses for the prosecution
remains unmpeached. We also assert that
scented for reasons, which are of very delicate
character.
The counsel will probably sum up during
the present week, and whatever may be the
result, we do not hesitate to say that nothing
we have said will be found to have been untrue.
We have our opinions of this trial, and we
shall at the proper time satisfy our readers that
we have in all things dealt fairly and honest
ly IN the matter. We believe that the public
will in the end give US entire credit for our mo-
tves in saying what we have said on this sub
iect. /,

PUNCHES CHARGE TO THE JURY.

Gentlemen of the Jury:-You are sworn IN
all cases, to decide according to the evidence;
at the same time, if you have any doubt, you
are bound to give the prisoner the benefit OF it..
Suppose you have to pronounce on the guilt or
innocence ola gentleman accused of felony
You will naturally doubt whether any gentle
man would commit such offences; accordingly,
however strong may be the testimony, against
him, you will, perhaps, acquit him, The evil
dences of your own senses is, at least, as credi-
BILE as that of the witnesses if, therefore, your
eyesght convinces you that the prisoner is
well dressed person, you have right to pre-
sumo his responsibility; and it is for you to say
whether respectable person would be likely
to be guilty of the crimes imputed to him. In
like manner, when you see shabby-looking
fellow in the dock, charged, for example, with
sheep-stealing, the decision rests with you, first
whether or not that individual is rugamufiin,
and, secondly, how far it is to be supposed,
that man of that description would steal
sheep. Ofcourse, as has been before said you
will always be guided by the evidence; but
then, whether the matter is trustworthy or not,
is a matter for your private consideration. You
may believe it if you choose, or you may dis
believe it; and whether, gentlemen of the jury,
you will believe it or disbelieve it, will depend
oh e'S N'Ho'ilutoh Vi Joii II Joui
minds are so constituted that you wish to find
the prisoner guilty, perhaps you will believe it;
If they happen to be so constituted that you de-
sire to find him not guilty, why then, very like
ly you will believe it. You are to free your
minds from all passion and prejudice, if you
can, and in that case, your judgment will be
unbiased; but if you cannot, you will return
verdict accordingly. 1t is not, strictly speak
ing, for you to consider what will be the effect
of your verdict; but if such a consideration
should occur to you, and you cannot help at
tending to it, that verdict will be influenced by
it to a certain extent. You are probably aware
that when you retire, you will be locked up UNI
til you contrive to agree. You may arrive at
unanimity by fair discussion, or by some ofyou
starving out the others, or by tossing up; and
your conclusion, by whichever ofthese process
es arrived at, will be more or less in accord
ance with your oaths Your verdict may be
right; it is to be hoped it will; 1t may be wrong;
it is to be hoped it will not. AT all events, gen.
tlemen of the jury, you will come to some con-
clusion or other, unless it should so happen that
you separate without coming to any.
