LOG AL AFFAIRS,

trlct attorney asked leave to tile pro-
test in the Criminal Court, against the
action of the Court relative to the trial of
John Charles Gardiner. After Mr.. Fen
dali had finished reading the paper
The Court said: The paper does not
set forth the facts. | never heard of a
protest in such case
The District Attorney asked, Where is
the error in the statement of facts? If
there is any it can be corrected.
The Court never heard of protest
from the District Attorney. You set
forth only what you choose. You do not
state that no human being has asked for
a trial.
The District Attorney.-What the court
has or has not heard is immatelial. The
only point for my consideration was whe-
Their had a right to put ON record my
reasons against an important change OF
practice. Being clear that [ have the
right, ask leave to file the paper. The
court refuse the leave, and there is an end
oft.
The Court.-Certainly.
Leave to file the papers was refused.
Mr.. Henshaw, the Deputy Marshal, hav-
ing reported to the court that there was
no probability of the Jury making a yer
dict, the court adjourned till eleven
o'clock this morning.
Forcl6ly Entered. YESTERDAY afternoon
case was tried before Justice Morsell,
which seemed to draw the attention of
persons in the neighborhood as much as
the Gardiner case. The property adioin-
ing the corner of 7th street on Louisiana
avenue was purchased some time since, at
tax sale, by MIR. Stell. 1t was occupied
at the time by several families, but they
were unable consisting of females) to
protect 1t from the boys and rowdies.-
Mr. Stell determining to purchase the in
terests of all concerned, placed in it Mr..
Glbcrson, lawyer, who took possession
ola room in which he keeps his office, and
protect and retain it for the apparent pro-
prietOr.
MIR. Stell having purchased the right Of
the heirs Of the former owner who are liv-
ING IN Germany, tried to obtain possession.
Finding the course he was pursuing rather
slow, he proceeded to the premises, in
company with others, removed the flrni-
ture, occupants, including Mr.. Giberson,
into the street. For this, Mr.. G. obtained
warrant for the arrest of Mr. Stell.-
The Justiced decided that he could not hold
Nr. Stell /; for according to the evidence,
the relation of landlord and tenant did
not exist between him and Giberson, and
he could only recognize Giberson as the
agent of Stell, and so far as his possession
was concerned, Stell had the right to de
mand it at any time. Mr.. Bradley fo1
defense.
4 Curiostty.-An old friend has pre-
sented us the following statement of cases
returned by the Police Magistrates Of the
seven wards.
There has been no return of cases pub
llshed which is understood by the citizens
generally, and we give the following to
show the whole number of cases without
regard to the judgments and costs obtained
are remaining uncollected.
These are the cases disposed Of by the

ONSLAUGHT ON THE GAMBLERS. The
city authorities of Cincinnati are making
thorough work of it among the gamblers
in that vicinity. They caught one ofthese
deluded men, and arragned him before the
court. Of course every sportsman, ;"
las such calls himself,) attended to hear
the result The culprit was then COM
PEELED to point out in the crowd all the
gamblers he knew The scattering was
sudden; but all the fugitives were brought
back, and justice is now amusing herself
there, by sending the whole of them to
prison, and sequestrating their profession
al property.

THE KANE ARCTIC EXPEDITION, it is ex-
pected, will sail for the Polar regions some
time this or next week. The expedition,
the n. Y. Tribune says, goes provisioned
for two years. Their destination is Smith s
Sound, the point on this continent where
northern exploration has already pehetra-
ted farthest. Thence, if the ice happens
to be open, they will boldly push forward,
with their brig, into the unknown Polar
sea. If it is closed, they will resort to
their dogs and sledges, which latter are
built so as to serve, in case Of need, as
boats, and will investigate that desolate
region, northward and westward, in search
of the open water and of the lost naviga-
tors. We may expect to hear from them
at c pernavik, and possibly at other points
on the coast of Greenland, and then they
will pass beyond the reach of our knowl-
edge and our sympathies until their re-
turn, which may be looked for in the au-
tumn of 1854.

The Cincinnati express train, on the
New York and Erie Railroad, ran on
Tuesday, distance of AS miles, in 16l
minutes. This is said to be the greatest
speed which has ever been attained, for
so great distance, on any road in the
United States. The quickest trip made
on any other was on the Hudson river
road, from New York to Albany, l43
miles, in ITO minutes, running time.
Yes! "Great Speed" And the next
thing you hear of there will be some hun
dred or more people killed by it, without
a moments warning-and "nobody to
blame !" Of course not !!

IMPORTANT FROM MEx1CO.-By an arri-
val at New Orleans from Vera Cruz, on
Wednesday last, we have dates from the
City of Mexico to the 9th instant.
Santa Anna is adopting severe meas
ures against all who he thinks holds what
ne considers pernicious opinions, and the
opinions gaining ground that he is follow
ing the model of Louis Napoleon, and is
looking steadfastly to the attainment of
an imperial crown
The President has also ordered the ar
rest of all who served as guerillas in the
American army during the late war, who
are to be tried by court martial as trail
tors to their country.
Santa Anna has also published list
of the Mexican officers who surrendered
as prisoners of war to General Scott when
the capital was taken, and has issued a
decree degrading them in rank in the ar
my, and dismissing such of them as may
be in civil employment.
The army is being organized and in
creased, and the National Guards are to
be forthwith reformed.
GovernsrFrias, of Chihuahua, has march
ed with all the military he could muster,
to oppose the occupation of Masilla Val
ley by the American troops under the
orders of Governor Lane.
FURTHER.-The steamer Texas brings
dates from Vera Cruz to the 9th, and
reports that on the 18th revolution broke
out among the National Guards, in con-
sequence of an order from Santa Anna to
incorporate the National Guard with the
troops of the line. The revolution lasted
three days, during which business was en-
tirely suspended, the regular troops hav-
ING taken possession of both forts, the
natirnal streets and the city gates.
A brisk firing was kept up during the
whole time, but finally ended on the Goth
by the entrance of the regular troops from
Jalapa, who took 50 National Guards as
prisoners. Quiet was subsequently re-
stored, and about fifty National Guards
were killed, and many wounded.
