nv NEW YORK, APRIL ~.
The foreign news by the recent arrivals has Gre
ated no feeling at all in this community The re-
cent local appointments, especially that Of Judge
generally approved by all parties, as he is a man
OF known integrity and firmness-two qualities, il
IS asserted, at present somewhat rare among the
city officials.
Messrs' Raymond Company continue in the
Daily Times to put forth specious sophstres against
the passage OF that just and truly national measure
treaty or bill OF international copyright. Their
arguments, however, produce no effect whatever,
partly because they are mere sophistries and
false deductions from assumed facts, and vet more
because the connexion of the paper with the firm
which OF all others has the most vital interest in
the prevention Of such measure--one of the mem
bers OF which is part proprietor of that journal
is we'll known.
1t is said that an effort is making to establish in
this city sort Of mutual benefit literary institu-
ton for the aid of decayed authors. 1t does not,
however, seem to meet much favor as authors, 1t
is argued, are likely to have too much selfrespect
and honorable pride of independence to be wiling
to own to dstresses, or accept of an aid 4avoring
not little of the character of aims, except in ex
treme and exceptional cases.
A stronger argument, it seems to me, against the
possibility of establishing such an Institution lies
in the true and traditional character of that thin
skinned race of authors, genus Irritable vatu, of
whom it is intended to be composed The difficult

OF theatrical notices. but would claim his privilege

An intelligent and well-informed correspondent
of the National Inteligeneer from New York
writes that much uneasiness and distrust prevails
there in regard, principally, to three points the
eo1ivocal position and uncertain tendency of our
foreign relations; the unheard-of corruption of the
city government and its apparent irresponsibity to
any existing authority and lastly the dubious pros
poets of the money market" With regard to two,
at least, of these subjects the whole country is
deeply interested. We know of nothing so likely
to keep us safe as the adoption of Mr.. EVERETT
policy" Give us twenty-five years of peace" In
that time we should be able to overcome all diff
culties. Disturb, however, the public peace, drag
us into the contentious Of the world, encourage Ill
busterism and disregard Of the law, and involve us
in war, and we know not what calamities may be in
store for s-Alerdndria Gazette

| The Charleston Mercury states that the United
States District Court in that city is about to try
the validity of the laws of South Carolina requr-
| ing the Imprisonment of colored seamen. An ac-
ton has been brought against the Sheriff of Charles
ton at the instance of the British Consul to recover
81 1000 damages for the alleged false Imprisonment
of colored British subject.
The act under which free negroes coming tran
silently within the borders of South Carolina are con-
fined during their stay there is strictly defensive
measure. Her internal safety is thought by her to
demand it, and foreign Government has, it seems
to us just much right to say that the authorities
of Charleston shall not exercise the right to confno
subject with an infective disease in hospital
or the right of quarantine, to demand that free
negro subject visiting that port shall go at large
if the State decides that his presence jeopards the
peace and safety of the community. South Caro-
lima claims and exercises the right to exclude Or i'm
prison free negro citizens of her sister States though
these as citizens of other States, can plead the
press immunity of the Federal Constitution and
we do not see how foreign State can claim privi-
leges for paA.l;. alaa IF people which are denied
to like class of our own States for the law Of
selfpreseryation over-rdes the protection pleaded
in both cases In, however, yielding to South Caro-
lima the benefit of the argument growing out of the
first law of nature and of nations we have always
thought that she has exercised herrght with an I'M
necessary stringeney, undscrinnating rigor, not
called for by the motive and objectf her legislation
