MORE NEW
FALL & WINTER GOODS.

Why Is there such rash at the Pedpte's Storea
ffsaa~~ b BECAUSE, the people buy
sau5sstz1s#st goods where they can buy the
sEssszasfsssss cheapest, and are the best ac-
commodated. Consequently, every steamer
from st. Louis to Potosi, brings large quanti-
tics Of Fresh Goods for the Peoples Store; con-
sisting of all the various useful articles, to sup
ply the wants of our customers. Here the peo-
pie come, and beautifully supply themselves
with every article they need. ,pithout looking
further for when they see the immense piles
of goods, and enquire the prices, at glance
they are ''comrinced'' all is right. And prompt
men know there are no arg faces if they ask
reasonable indalgeaoes, and they know, too, they
can buy as many goods for dollar as any-
where in the country.
We won't gass much, but leave that for those
who have less to do and will only say. we
are grateful for the general patronage we re-
ceive both from friends and strangers We
are now selling little lower than ever, to make
room for our Fall Stock, which will be on in
due season, from the Fountain Head--always
on hand, and neper Wmder-sol

Loss or THE SHIP SEA NrMrH.-The ship Pride of the
Ocean, from New York for London, is reported in the
English papers having arrived Deal the 9th ut

timore The particulars Of the disaster will probably be

THE RIGHTS OF NEUTRALs.-The declaration
of the Queen of England on the subject of the
rights Of neutrals will alay the anxiety of our
shipowners on subject Of much Importance.
The Queen announces that it is not cher pre-
sent intention to issue letters of marque for the
commission of priv ateers - which, as Russia
has but little foreign commerce to injure, hard
ly signifies much. Neutral vessels are to be
allowed to carry the enemy's property without
molestation; and neutral property laden in the
enemy's vessels will be exempt from seizure.
Great Britain excerpts from this articles contra
band of war, neutral vessels carrying the enc
my's dispatches, and neutral vessels breaking
blockades against the enemy's ports. There
can be no reasonable objection to these terms.
Our vessels will continue to trade in security:
and we could demand no more. The act ofcar-
rying articles contraband of war or dispatches
TO or from one Of the belligerents does not ap-
pertain to legitimate commerce. 1t is to be
regretted that the language in which the rights
of neutrals are acknowledged, and the Glib
crafty" of which Lord Clarendon boosted is
illustrated is such as to deprive the act of its
chief claim to praise. Had Great Britain, for
instance, frankly acknowledged that she had
no right to interfere with United States YES
sells trading to Russia without declaring war
upon the former as well as the latter, the world
would have given her due credit for honesty
and candor; to grant the main point, and
to state at the same time that in doing
so she 'waives, for the present, part
Of the belligerent rights appertaining to her
by the law of nations" is to assert the very
principle we deny, and evade disingenuously
the responsibility of its assertion We want
no favors of England and do not thank her
for waving one single right to which she deems
herself entitled. Nor shall we exhibit such a
captious spirit at this conjuncture as to quar-
rel with the language of her proposal, its aim
and meaning being satisfactory but her best
friends cannot but admit that she has pursued
the most crooked and awkward way of grant
ing a claim which she could not refuse. Lord
Clarendon's promise, too, that England would
during this war exhibit an example of liber-
atty to the world would have been more hon
orably fulfilled had the words .for the present"
been omitted from the declaration acknowledge
ing the rights of neutrals and prescribing pri-
watering. As it is, Great Britain is quite at
liberty to rescind this declaration, to search
and seize American ships and to issue letters of
marque whenever she pleases Great Britain
is not pursuing the most judicious course in
the world, if she desires to secure the friend
ship Of the United States.

first pa per which claimed their attention petition
in regard TO the Fourth Avenue and New Haven rail
road demurrng TO steam being used below Forty second
street
DAVID EVANS sustained the petition with few remarks.
JAMES r. WHITING followed He said almost every day
admonished by the newspapers Of the danger of
using steam through the crowded thoroughares OF the
city He appeared for several gentlemen who asked for
this relief and he thought examination OF the premi
would convince any of the danger to citizens
by running the locomotive from Fortysecond down to
Twenty seventh street. This of principal
streets, and most always crowded with people The
whistle is almost constantly blown in coming in and
going out which rghtens horses disturbs the citizens,
and creates various other inconvenience This petition
ought to be granted unless good should be
shown why 1t should not be granted.
Mr.. B. M. WHrnoCK asked ii there present
to represent the railroad So he should like to hear
them.
No one responded to the call.
Mr.. WHITLOCK went on then to sustain the petition,
and corroborated the remarks Of Mr.. Whiting.
Mr. HATFIELD said the people had rights we'll the
railroad monopoly, and he thought they ought to be
respected.
Dr. Harris said this railroad nuisance and ought
be abated
PHIL BURROUGHS thought there was no necessity at
the present time to fully discuss this matter the
meeting appeared to be unanimously in favor Of the Pc
ition. Il
Alderman Morr made few remarks against the rail.

IMPORTANT DECISION IN ADMIRALTY.
APRIL An L. McCrcddy and others against The
Steamer Brother Jonathdn-This suit brought to
cover damages for the loss of the schooner Charles D.
Ellis and her cargo, which sunk by collision with
the steamer in October 1851 The schooner sailed Octo
Der q, from New York bound for Wilmington. Her
cargo was owned by different persons, and parts of it
were insured in the Atlantic Mutual Insurance Company
and the Mercantile Mutual Insurance Company About
10 O'Clock that night the schooner not far from Egg
and going about four or FIVE knots an hour The wind
was moderate from westerly direction. The sea was
smooth and the night comparatively clear, and with
moon somewhat obscured by clouds. Vessels could be
seen Eve miles off and the shore visible distant
about eight miles. The steamer bound from St.
Thomas to New York. and going at her usual speed
ten twelve miles hour. The schooner seen ten
fifteen minutes before the collision, but the two
sells came together, the steamer striking the schooner

main rigging on her starboar SIDE that she sunk in
few minutes 1t was the second mates watch board
the steamer in which watch there were four men, be-
sides the quartemaster at the wheel OF these only the
second mate was examined a witness in the case and
given for not examining the others The third
assistant engineer was examined and testified that two Of
them were below passing coal, and that he deck

schooner the second mate was at the Wheel and one man
on the lookout They say that the schooner held her
course ill the steamer two three lengths Off and
then the wheel was hove hard astarboard Testimony
was given to show that the schooner suddenly changed
her course and came under the steamers bows He'll
upon this evidence that there sufficient and pro-
per look out properly stationed board the steamer
within the doctrine of The Genesee Chief against Fitz
hugh in 10 Howards Reports that the schooner did
change her unless in the imminent danger of col
son, and that there is evidence to contradict the
pd face evidence Of the steamer being in the wrong
arising from her defective look out Decree therefore,
for lbelants with a reference to a commissioner to
ascertain the damages and to report what the damage
the schooner was what the loss Of freight was; who
the owners Of the cargo and the amount of
owned by each individual and what the amount OF in
surance was, which the insurance companies respec

Charles the Fifth had been
sovereign Of Spin, Germany, Italy, and the
Low Countries.: Napoleon held at one time
France, Spai,l, Italy, and most of Germany,
and exercis ed sort of tutorship over all the
rest OF continental Europe, Russia excepted.
lie was foiled at last-the prestige of his power
being broken at Moseow-and the intrinsic
st'.ength of France being gone, when the ma
tions he had attempted to extinguish rose
against him.
We are now about to witness the fourth at
tempt to sub,,ugate Europe under one head.
That this is the aim of Russia and of the Gar, no
one conversant with the spirit of the one and
the policy ofthe other can doubt for an instant.
For more than a century and half this great
design has been nurturcd in the minds Of every
ruler Russia has had. The people have been
taught that it was their destiny--as it was that
Of their forefathers, fifteen hundred years ago,
to sweep away the Roman empire. Napoleon
saw il at ST. Helena when he proclaimed that
within fifty years Europe must be republican
or Cossack.
The time fer the choice has come. Nicholas,
with sixty millions of subjects ardent for the
war. and internal resources which viii enable
him to Withstand any amount of OUTSIDE pres
sure-with kingdom that cannot be INVADED
and an aTmy that may be defeated but cannot
be conuuered--now offers Europe the OPTION of
becoming republicans or bowling to his sw ~
England and France have anticipated his ac
ton by assuming the responsibility Of begin
ming the contest.
Thus matters stand. At glance it is easy to
see that the war whose commencement we this
day record is to be no tfulstruggle: it must last
for years. Russias fleets may be sunk, her
foreign trade destroyed her ports blockaded;
but for all that, she will still be Russia, as pow
erful and as formidable as ever. Battle may be
fought after battle, and victory may side with
the Western Powers; but fresh Cossacks Will
always be found to replace the dead, and fresh
ardor will infuse itself into the Russian breass
after every reverse. Their, may be trnces, and
treaties, and temporary luis in the strife; but
no permanent peace can arrive until the shape
of the issue is altered Russia will not swerve
from her purpose, and so far as can be seen
now, cannot be SO utterly disabled as to be
unable to pour down army after army from the
Vistula. To meet her successfully, the repub-
lican element in Europe must be fairly and
thoroughly aroused There are stout men
enough in that continent to hold their own
even against Russia but they must be COM
bined, and rallied round standard in which
they can really feel hearty interest When
this is done, Napohon's problem may be
solved. But the solution may not occur for the
next hundred years or more.
