terial passages:

MUCH mas Detn Sdu upon thc construction OF
the third and fourth sections Of the act o. Con-
gress; but the court is clearly Of opinion, that
the Sd section was meant TO include all cases Of
vessels, armed within ports by one Of the bel
gerent powers, 10 act as cruIZers against another
bellIgerent power in peace with the United States.
Converting ship from her original destination with
intent 20 commit hostlities; or in other words,
yerting a merchant ship into vessel Of war, must
be deemed original outfit; for the act would I,
otherwise, become nugatory and imperative. II is
the conversion from the peaceable 10 the war
like purpose that constitutes the offence.
The circumstances clearly prove a conversion
from the original commercial design Of the vessel
to design Of cruising against the enemies Of France;
and, of course Against a nation at peace with the
United States, since the United States are at peace
with all the world
No man would proclaim on the house-top that
he intended to fit out privaeer; the intention must
be collected from all the circumstances Of the trans
action, which the Jury will investigate, and on
which they must decide But If they are Of opinion,
that il was intended TO convert this vessel from a
merchant ship into a cruiser, every man who was
knowingly concerned in doing so is guilty IN the
contemplation Of the law.
If the defendant has been concerned in the of
fence there is no doubt that it is effected far
i was IN his power to complete 1t. The illegal out
FIT Of the vessel was accomplished; and that an adj
ditionaI number Of cannon was not sent to augment
her force, not owing to his respect 10 the laws
but to the vigilance Of the public police.
The case to which we have referred
under the act of 1918, is that alluded to
by Baron RoENNE and Mr.. Secretary
CLAYTON, in their correspondence-that of
the limited States ps. Quincy, 8 Peters R.

Sunday, May 1876 p. M.
The stock market closed yesterday heavy, and the

prospect of any improvement, and If the money

lie probability Of decline of any Importance The
roachng season is unfavorable for any speculative
vement but 1t by no means follows that one may
arise. We cannot expect advices from Europe
&c favorable than those received by the steamers for
past month or two and, in the absence of greater
kvity in our exporting products abroad, and bet
prices, we must experience all the depression
Tally attending such things. Tho appearance

Espcct far from hatterng. The money markets

Nv weeks unless relapse is realised, they must be

commercial and financial GLASSES, calculated TO
