THE COURT OF INQUIRY AT FREDERICK.

The Court met Tuesday and proceeded with General
Pillows After discussion of somewhat dscursve
character between Generals Scott and Pillow respecting
the impeachment of the testimony Of Major Burns the
animation Of General Quman commenced, and contn-
ued during the sitting His testimony related principally
the attack upon Chaputepec and prove tina, General
Scott in council had given decided preference among
other plans of opeaton being evidently strongly biased its
favor. That General Pillow the other hand, expressed
himself reservedy and guaedy upon the subject rather adj
visng attack upon the works in front of San Antonio
Pedad II will be remembered that the credit of the
Chapulepec affair has been claimed for General Pillow The
above evidence bears directly upon this pointPatriot

DEATH OF COMMANDERS PINKNEY AND HAIR
RIS, OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY

The Southern papers contain the particulars of
the casualty by which these two gallant officers lost
their lives, in attempt to cross the bar OF Tus-
pan, on the coast of Mexico, on the 18th ultimo.
They were in two boats, belonging 10 the steamers
Iris and Jirea, and the water on the bar at the time
appeared TO be quite smooth but rain the night
before had caused strong current in the river, ma
king the undertow very great, to which the accident
is partially attributed. Commander HARRIs's boat
had passed over in safety, but Commander PINK
NEY's boat having become manageable, the for
mer was put about to render assistance, when both
boats were swamped, and both their principal Of
fcers were drowned A French resident at Tuspan
and two seamen were also drowned Three other
officers, Lieut.. WARD, of the Cumberland Lieut..
DoucHTY, commanding officer of marines in the
squadron; DIR. BELL, of the Vixen, and nine sea-
men, were saved by the boats of the United States
schooner Mahonese, in charge of Acting Master

The Charleston Mercury, after clearly proving
that Gen. COMMANDER had not even the sembance
of right to represent even his whole Congressional
district, much less the State of South Carolina, and
after pronouncing him IAN imposor and pretender,
thus winds up:
"Wth regard to the nomination Of Gen. CAss by the Con-
vention, we need scarcely say that is unsatisfactory and
indeed, Of all the before that body his the least
acceptable to the Democracy Of South Carolina. There

BRITISH INTERVENTION 1t really does seem
to us that editors Of American newspapers would
do themselves no harm, at least, if they were not
quite so'ready to misrepresent the conduct Of the
British Government and its agents all possible
occasions if they would take little, very little,
pains to ascertain facts before expressing or init
mating unfavorable opinions. Two instances are
before us at this moment. The papers, far and
near, are holding out the idea of British intermed-
ding with the affairs of other nations in such a
way as to excite unfriendy feelings in the minds Of
the understandable cases being those of Hayti
and Yucatan. And what are the facts Why, it
seems that the British Charge or Minister in Mexico,
having been applied to by some quasi Governmental
authority in Yucatan for aid against the MAYA, with
an offer Of the sovereignty of the countryside same
application and offer that were made by the same
authority to our Goyernment-has sent the formal
answer that he will communicate on the subject
with the Ministry at home. And, in the case Of
Hayt, all we learn is that British vessel has ar
rived at Port Prince, having on board person de-
puted, probably by the Governor Of jamaica to make
inquiries concerning recent events there; that is,
to ascertain whether the persons effects of British
residents are endangered.
These two very innocent facts, very proper facts,
are characterized, off hand, by all manner of Jour
nails, as instances of British intervention" calling
for watchfulness and couneraction on the part Of
our Government.-NeW Fork Com. .adu.

the magistracy are to be irremovable and the con-

elected by the people every four years.
All quiet at Vienna to the 10Th instant. Berlin
is feverish, and change OF Ministers and reno

and various parts Of the latter country have estab
