The frequency of holding these tribunals in
the modern naval service has excited of late
good deal of comment, both in this country and
in England; and public sentiment, we appre-
bend, is fast settling down into the conviction
that the service is by no means benefited by
the over-activity of this somewhat anomalous
Jurisdiction.
This subject has recently attracted the atten-
ton Of writer in the United Service Magazine,
whose observations are copied, with the approba-
tion gifts endorsement, into the London Nautical
STANDARD. The first point TO which this writer
alludes as striking observer of the proceedings
IN these courts is, lat there is an utter want
Of attention to the observance Of, and perhaps a
lack Of regard for, the laws of evidence as they
are religiously observed in the courts of ordina-
~ jurisdiction. Not a case is brought before
these tribunals that does not provoke the justice
of this remark. The form of the question put
to witness is seldom or ever regarded. Lead
ing questions are submitted without hesitation
and when objected to, as they generally ant
properly are, the courts most usually permi
them to be persisted in. Sometimes, and il
some cases, the right of reply Is conceded to thu
prosecutor; at others it is capriciously denied
Such Irregularities are Of daily occurrence, anc
by their frequent repetition prove that there il
either wilful and perverse inclination on the
part Of these courts to break through the rule,
of evidence, or otherwise most dangerous de
gree Of ignorance exists upon the subject.

President Fillmore.

From the Alexandria (Ha.) Gazette.
We are pleased to notice all over the country, in
the Wing press, the exhibition of the most UNI
doubted confidence in the course and policy of the
President and the present Administration. The
support given to the Administration ia not q mere
cold, party supports but it 10 warm, heartfelt, and
sincere. SPECIALLY are we pleased, that in the
South this just tribute is rendered by the, Wings
with an carnestncss and alacrity which be speak a
determination, at all proper times. to revive the
good old Wing feeling, and to stand again to-
gether, united in the defence Of the principles
which they cherish, and the men who carry out
those principles. The President it, indeed, every
way worthy Of the cordial appreciation Of his coun-
trymen. No man could have shown himself to
better advantage than he has, since his accession
to the high Office he fills. We believe the gem
crous and unprejudiced of his political oppo-
nents admit this. Had he only the Of belong
ing to their party. they ould be enthusiastic in
his praise. Let the Wings, then, when they have
President 30 much entitled TO- their confidence a.
is Mr.. Fillmore, not be backward or lukewarm in
standing by him and upAolding him in all his ef-
forts to secure peace, harmony, and prosperity to
the country.

The Fugitive Gaze I'm Rnstn,,

We have spread before our readers full accounts
of the fugitive case in Boston So much has been
said of that city in connection With the late law of
Congress, and the former case resulted 30 unfa-
voraby for her fair fame, that tho eyes of cvery-
body, North and South, have been turned with in
tense anxiety to her Conduct the present occa-
sion. The people of Boston have said, upon the
issue OF the formey CASE that should another occur
they would prov to the Union that tho laws Of the
country shout be maintained, and the Compro.
misc carried out at all hazards and matter what
might be the opposition. The opponents OF the
Compror nisc, North and South, have AZ loudly de-
clared their belief that the law would and ould
not 70 carried out in Boston. Hence the intense
iDerost felt in the pending It is the trial Of
the supremacy of law that Of the mob power-tlse
triumph Of the Compromse peace measure of Con-
gress or the failure Of that great act No wonder
| the scenes just transacting at Boston should 30
greatly excite the public attention and public feel
ing.
Well, the has ariscn--it has met with the op.
position and resistance OF the anarchists Of Boston
but the law abiding the great majority Of the people
OF that city, have vndicated their pledges and
have done their duty to themselves and to the
country. ft e88I
We hope we shall hear no more croakings of the
impotency Of the laws of the Union to maintain the
constitutional rights of the citizens Of all sections
North or South, even when more formidably OPP
posed tnan prooaoly any law mas ever Dccn In this
| country. The wisdom of Congress in its appre-
hension Of the union of the good of every Sec
ton TO support the Constitution and the laws, has
been indicated by the case before u.s. The effect
of this trial will DO most salutary.
The ascertained fact, that tho law will be
promptly executed in Boston, will greatly lesson
the necessity for its exercise. II has been consid-
cred par exceencc, the depot for all the fugitivea
who could get there. The TACT has excited the pur-
pose Of attempting it. This energetic exercise Of
the law win dispci these illusions, and tend to the
quiet of both sections ofthc country At all events
the laws OF the country have been vindicated, and
the Compromise carried out in Boston, and tIis,
too, without the necessity 10 call in the Of tho
Government. The test has been applied, and the
result has been in favor Of The peace and unity Of
| the country; and We rejoice tbat IL 10 90.

almost invariably terminated in a decision tn,
wrong way. Leading questions were put ant
persisted in, and frivolous objections listened
to, when grave and important ones were sum
marily disposed Of. And this court was in nj
way conspicuously distinguished from the ordi
nary and approved system. There seems but
one remedy for this trifling with Justice
which would be effected by giving to the court
more adequate machinery than that which al
present it possesses. As these courts are man
aged at the present day, the important and re-
sponsible function of interpreter Of the law
generally rests upon some person whose educa-
ton and experience neither fit him for the Of
fee nor justify his assumption of such grave
and important duty. He is sometimes an at
torney; at others purser; and in the other
service an adjutant. And surely it is not toe
much to assume that the pursuits of any OF
these gentlemen particularly unfit them for the
Interpretation Of the law; nor is their educa-
tion generally of that order which would en-
able them to discriminate the nice and meta
physical subtleties Of the law and practice Of
evidence, to say nothing of the rare and
difficult accomplishment which is required
to balance its weight and appreciate and dis
criminate its validity. 1t is, of course, un-
necessary to say that such a condition of things
is equivalent to denial of justice; and every
man who enters the service, whether it be the
army or navy, should reflect seriously upon
the perilous condition to which he submits
when he puts his life, liberty, and honor, in a
position to be judged of by a tribunal of which
there is no competent Judge, and however
willing and anxious to do justice, yet denied
by the ordinary custom Of the service, the
means by which such laudable zeal and anx-
iety can be effected.
"To us who live in an age of progress"-
says the journal to which we have last referred
Sin which every thing is in state of rapid mu-
tation--in an age, too, when the landmarks Of
our most anxious institutions are removed from
their foundations without scruple or considera-
ton; in an age wherein everything is sacrificed
to practical utility, and to the cant of aiding the
progress and march of the times; we are sur
prised that tribunal which has SO little to re-
commend it upon its own merits should SO long
have resisted the attacks of modern utilitarian
philosophers; and that, in 1851, we should still
have to regret the existence Of evils which have
long been fruitful topic Of complaint, which
day by day are becoming more conspicuous,
which have at all times been severely felt, and
which at the present day have become intoler-
able"
We do not know to what extent the obser-
vations Of our British contemporary are appli-
cable to our own service, but we apprehend
that they may suggest topics Of profitable re-
Election.

We presume that the question of approval or dis
approval of the course of President Fillmore and
his Cabinet, during the time the administration Of
the General Government has been in his hands,
will enter prominently into the canvass for MEM
bers of Congress that il fast approaching Itistrue
that there has never been administration since
the time of Warrington that has ELECTED from all
parties such general expressions Of approval, nor
against which there has been 20 little complaint
But We see now that the opposition il beginning
to fear the effect upon their party of tho growing
popularity Of Mr.. Fillmore, that they are drawing
back from their position Of appreciation, and pre-
pairing to mako an onslaught upon the Administers
ton. Let them como on II will be no easy mat
ter to lessen the confidence Of the people in the in
tegrity, moderation, impartialty, and irmncss in
Mr.. Fillmore, that his course has inspired

In view of the references which have been
made in the public journals to an alleged inter-
cepted despatch Of Sir HENRY BULwER, and
thecuriosity which those references have excited,
it would be unjust to that gentleman, and would
answer no useful purpose, to withhold the
harmless jeu d'esprit from our readers. 1t will
be found in another column of this morn
ing's impression. While no one can for mo-
ment imagine that it is a genuine document,
the pains taken by the editor of the Cck to give
it that appearance may impose on the unrefect-
ing, and subject the alleged author to unmerited
censure. If it had not been gravely alluded to
possible authenticity, we should not have
reproduced it; but we are aware of no good rea-
son which should induce us to deprive our
readers of the amusement which they may find
in this saucy fabrication.
