WILKES, TnK FuoIrrvE FROM JusricE, Rrs Orr
TO EuRorx.-Wc see, by some Of the papers, tina.
Wilkes, the notorious editor Of the organ of the
stool pigeon gang which has dsgraced the city Of
New York for several years past, by thier villauies,
has, at last, taken to his heels longer run than
that to Hoboken. II seems that he has taken pas
sage in the Niagara steamer, and gone to Europe,
on pretsnce of twisting the Worlds Fair, where he
may probably stay months, if not years. with his old
erony, Tom Warner. Wilkes is now in very pc
cular fix, and none Of the associates whom he has
lift behind either lawyers, agents, reporters, or
stool pigeons, will be able to get him out Of the
hands ofjustce.
In the Jordan case he has outraged all engaged
in the proceedings, by continuing his lbels the
court in Poughkeepsie, to say nothing Of the at
tacks on his old friends, Judge Greenwood s Co.,
of Brooklyn. The pro,ess for stay of proceedings,
in order to get trial, has received coup dc
grace, and the standing order of the court Is, that
he or his friends give good bail for s., j00," mat
terwhich, believe, it would be very difficult 20
find in his present dilemma In fact, he has run OF
without giving bail in reference TO thc court Of
PouGhkeepsie. His position is, however, not bad
as it win be.
United States and Great Britain, entered into in
1872 provides that all persons charged with the
crime Of murder or assault with intent to commit
murder, or piracy, arson, robbery, forgery,
or the utterance Of forged paper, shall be given up
to justice. According to this treaty. fugitive
from conviction Of misdemcanor, in libel case,
is not included in that instruments but there i
every expectation that indictments viii be found
az. 1nr fx- -
county, or for aiding and assisting in the issuing
Of counterfeit money with One-Eyed Thompson. In
either case, he will come under the treaty between
the two countries and the rcquisiton will be
answered by the authorities Of Grea. Britain
In the me antme, it is singular to know that po-
lice officer Bowyer-one of the most expert in
this cityhas with two associates, also taken pas
sage in the same vessel with Wilkes, and will keep
his eye upon him, at the Worlds Fair and else
where in ENGLAND. Warner and Wilkes will soon
shake hands with each other at the Old Bailey.
TRINITY OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES JrBILEE.-We
understand that the Episcopahans in Great Britain
and Ireland, the British Colonies the United States
and throughout the world, are making arrange
ments at the particular request of the Archbishop
Of Canterbury, to solemnize, by grand cclebra-
tion the third scmicentennial jubilee of that most
venerable of the patrarchal societies Of Protestant
England,-t !" Society for The Propagation of the
Gospel in Foreign Parts" Founded in the year
l70l, it has almost attained the good old age of
hundred and fifty years 1t is the chief pride Of
England's noble charities, and during The century
and half now closing, it has been traversng, in a
sublime manner, the darkest moral wastes of Eu-
rope, Asia, Africa, and America literally "preach-
ing in the Wilderness" like another John Baptist,
md, in the spirit Of that great roformer, proclaim
ing the awakening, elevatng, consoling, and puri-
flying truths Of gospel revelation. The vencrl-
be society has had, for its Presidents, eleven
eessive Archbishops Of the Anglican church. 1t
has, for years past, been contributing annually, to
the support Of seven hundred missionaries, cate
chists, divinity students, and schoomastcrs. And
its annual expenditure has, for several years,
oeeded three hundred thousand dollars. 1t main
tains missionaries in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick,
the Canadss, Newfoundland, Labrador, Lake Hu-
ron, Prince Rurert's Land, the Yves. Indies and
negLboring islands, Guiana, the Eas. Indies, Cey-
lon China, Austi ALA, New Zealand, Van Demens
Land, and tho Cape Of Good Hope, well as
merous and remote almost namelcss parts Of the
vas, field occupied by Christian missions. 1t is
busted, not merely with aiding missionaries among
Christians in the British colonies, but with ght
cnirg the minds and elevatins the condition of the
IIihdoo, the Chinese, and the New Zcalandcr, the
IiottoEtot Of South Africa, and the untutored In
dian Of forests. On the opening Of the societys
jubilee year, Monday, June III, there is to be a
solemn service in Trinity church, in this city; and,
on the same day, the jubilee services will b. per-
formed in Westminster Abbey, with unusual pomp.
IL rightly managed the soemnities Of the occasion
may serve a very good purpose, by arresting
the impetuosity Of the present unhappy stTifes
among Ensiands churchmen; by exhibiting to
Ch,slendom the great enterprise Of British zeal,
and the great mum icence Of british charity; and
by awakening, in the various and rcno.cst branches
Of the Church Of England, general and deep
emotion Of symra,Ly and good will.
