DEcEScIEs AND lNDEcESciEs OF THE Pass We
find much said in our cotemporary journals Of Wall
street, every now and them about the indecent and
unrespeetable conduct Of the press, and about the
position news papers hold organs Of public
opinion. Occasionally of these contemporaries,
who would pass for prudes three four days in the
week, out Herod- Heiod and even some Of the mo-
raj journals, as they style themselves, "tear pas
sion to tatters." The socialist journal, in replying
sometime ago to the editor Of an evening paper,
emphatically exclaimed, "You lie, villain; you
he'' Some other newspapers arc equally refined in
their expressions One Wall street editor calls an
other " knave" and "fool'-and the other reta-
liates, with sxrcnny dignity, that his assaiaat is
desperate" and "convict." Weed denominates
a city editor as " a human hyena," and he is called
a. dog fend" by another expressive journal in
Wall street.
We have never made pretensions to excel " the
world and the rest Of mankind as President Tay-
Tor would have said in pruiish expressions; but
say that never, since the Herald was first pub
lished, have used towards cotemporaries such
language defles the spcctable journals, which
should be classed with those NOTORIOUS" for
their spirit, industry, and talent. We generally
propose to do duty with direct a reference to
the purity Of the atmosphere, and the season ofhe
year, as We can commend and never any instru.
ments to effect object, which may not be neces-
saryto the case in hand. Certainly, We should be
sorry to see, even by accident, in columns, any
such violations Of dccency and decorum as We see
every now and then in journals which fa,ter them
selves that they respectable"

DEVELOPMENTS on THE DRURY TRIAL IN Book
LYs.-We have already noticed some of the Curl
Developments that are growing out of the Dfury
trial, which is now going on in Brooklyn. One of
the latest is the statements given in evde nee by
Mrs Thompson, widow of One-Eyed Thompson,
who committed suicide in the City Prison, after
being arrested for passing counterfeit money
Mrs. Thompson, in her evidence, gives some nc
count Of the associates of Thompson at the time
when he lived in New Utrecht, in house which he
hired Of. James Arlington Bennett. II seems, the
principal persons who thus associated with Thonp-
son, we're Bristol Bill, Meadows, Ashley, and Farm
ham, all Of whom are now Ia state prisons two
in Vermont and two in New York. Meadows. or
Field as he was called, was the engrayer AMI for
ger Of the counterfeit money; and Thompson a. the
chief " the gang, put it aaoat, and used it IN
various ways to iInpiicate other persons. Bristol
Bib was bold and daring thief and burglar and
was capital hand at breaking into banks and rob-
bling stores. Ashley was q sort Of lawyer, and kept
an Office in this city or Brooklyn. Thompson's
character l. well known. II was by these men and
mean iha, they sought 10 inplcatc Drary, and
also Arlington Bennet, BY forged evidence. The
residence of Arlington Bennett was robbed Of pri-
waite papers and letters, which we're used by Thomp
son and Meadows in constructing iorgorics and
getting up evidence to implicate Ar. Bennett in the
charges which the gang brought against him all
Of which, however, on trial, were scattered to the
winds. "a malicious, ridicul0us, and absurd.

The trial, VIC believe, proceeds to-day, and will
probably continue during the whole week. The

TlK CUBAN EXPEDITION EXPLODED. We yes
terday gave IN account Of the arrest Of number
Of persons, on charge Of being concerned in an
expedition which was in process Of formation in this
city, against the island OF aba. Their names are,
John L. O'Sullivan, William I. Rodgers, Captain
Lewis, Major Lewis Schlesinger, DIR. Bartnett, and
Pedro Sanchez. Their examination will probably
take place to-day, before the nited States IA tho
rites
The whole affair seems TO have becu got up by
men Of extreme stiffness and Incompetence, or else
it was fomonted by stool pigeons Of curious cha
racter, to impose on the government at Washing
ton and also on the Cubans who advanced the
money. The steamer Cleopatra which, ii is said,
was purchased by the expeditioniss, is crazy old
boat, that piled on the Long Island Sound q num-
Der Of years since, and was worn out in that SER
vice. No person, with particle Of sense or intel-
gence would risk his life by going ten miles beyond
Sandy Hook in her Most Of the men who were
engaged to take part in the expedition foreign
ers, who cannot speak English, and know nothing
Of the laws which they have violated. At.the pre-
sent time, there are probably, twenty-five or thirty
thousand foreigners here, principally Germans and
it would be very easy matter for competent pirates
and marauders TO engage four or five thousand of
refugees from the recent revolutions in Europe
and are accustomed to arms, and would be very
glad to engage in any expedition, no matter how
wild or absurd.
But for the great error which committed by
the administration ofGencral Taylor, and continued
by that Of Mr. Fillmore, this last expedition would
never have been attempted. The utter weak
ness and imbecility Of both administrations
in relation to Cuban affairs, loom out every day.
The escape Of Lopez, by ,toAe lroseqni, at New
Orleans, few weeks ago, was sort Of advertise
ment TO all foreigners that the government con
CURED in the Cuban project. If he had been tried
and convicted, Mackenzie was, it would have had
distinct effect, that would have been attended with
good results, and foreigners would have at once
understood that, in engaging in such expeditions,
they violated the laws Of the land. 1t has, how
ever, given opportunity to Mr.. Fillmore to issue
a proclamation, in much the same way as the man
shut the stable door after his best horse stolen.
