The arrest Of the "Free Lovers" in New
York has created much excitement; the parties
we're brought before Mayor Wood on Friday
last, for examination, and
"Aner a brief examination, the Mayor
ordered thai Brisbane be discharged. The
charge against him was an attempt TO effect
the release from the custody Of a captain Of
police Of one of the Free Lovers, named Har-
land, who had been arrested for knocking down
a man at the door named Cockefaire, who had
refused 10 pay double price Of admission (hfty
cents) to the hall There we're no Witnesses
however, TO substantiate the charge. The
Mayor was of the opinion that Mr.. Brisbane
was illegally detained, though he 1.-THE Mayor
considered the Free Love Club calculated TO
mislead the young, and thought such things
could not be too strongly deprecated. The
Mayor expressed himself in favor Of the largest
liberty Of speech, but thought Mr.. Brisbane s
harangue on that particular occasion might
have been. impolitic il not morally offensive.
brisbane, on leaving the Office, espied
Captain Turnbull, Of the police, and abused
him in u most shameful manner. The Mayor,
however, ordered him to "shut up" and be of,
or else warrant would be issued for his re-
arrest. Brisbane took the hint and yamosed,
threatening to start paper TO expose the vii
famous combination against the new philo-
sophy.
THE other parties we're held to bail in the
sum Of $500 each to appear and answer the
charge Of disorderly conduct. Among the
crowd of spectators several notorious prostitutes
we're prominent. The scene, altogether, was Q
shameful commentary upon the tendencies Of
the times here. This whole Free Love notion
isneither more nor less than an attempt to popu
larise prostitution"
On Saturday morning further examination
took place at the Mayors Office, before Justic,
Osborne. Another immense throng was pre-
sent. The Express says:
"Among the individuals who appeared par
tcularly interested was lady, who placed her
self close beside the Justices chair, and anx
iously watched the proceedings. She wore I
brown travelling dress, a straw hat, and blacl
veil, which latter covered her features sufi
cienty TO prevent her being recognized.

Resources Unimpaired.

The Paris correspondent of the Commercial
Adce,fiser has the following reasoning re-
speeding the effect upon Russia, of the loss OF
Sebastopol, a fortress which was so long CD
stinately defended, that it came to be regarded
as the most important feature in the contest,
but has already lost its prestige, and the
Bourse, instead of rising, fell with the captured
city:
Russia does not appear TO have placed the
same estimate on it as fortress that the Allies
hvae done, and it is becoming more and more
evident every day that she was very glad to use
it as a means of concentrating at distant
point the attack she was to undergo, but that
her resistance is by no means overcome when
that of Sebastopol is exhausted. The re-
newed preparations Of the Gar, his presence
at a council Of war at Odessa, the impending
levy the accounts Of the material found by
the Allies in the city, Of the uuequalled
works for deadening the effects Of bombs,
and the inevitable inference that the loss Of the
Russians cannot have been anything like what
it has been estimated /; more than all, the atti-
tude of the forces of Gortschakoff, Osten
Sacken, and Liprandi, in the Crimea and the
language held by the Russian organ at Brus.
sels-all conspire 10 show that Russia is I'M
dergoing one of those periods Of revival and Of
renewing which often result from the shock Of
a disaster better than from the encouragement
of a victory. The Russian argument, as we
are beginning TO understand it, is simply this :
The notifications Of Sebastopol did not exist
when the Allies appeared before it; those i'm.
provised works erected under the spur Of me-
cessity, have baffied them for eleven months.
The whole force Of France and England has
been brought to bear against one Crimean port,
all of whose stone defences we're intended
against an attack from sea only. The final
capture Of this naval rendezvous has no other
significance than whatsprings from the des.
truction Of the feet, and from the loss of a
certain amount Of materiel And | think
that the public mind is accepting and acknow
lodging the justice or at least the plausbility
Of this position"

Capture OF Chinese Pirates by EN- gIish and
American Heats

The Hong-Kong (China) Mail gives an
interesting account OF a battle between boat
parties from The English ship of war Rather
and the U. $. naval steamer Powhatan, near
kuan, in which eight seamen or marines were
killed, and fifteen or sixteen wounded
Ten pirate junks were taken and DESTROY ed
and seven prize vessels, previously captured by
the pirates, were liberated The English ship
Rather, towed by the steamer Eaglet, headed
the attacking party, followed by three boats
and hundred men from the American steam
trigate. On arriving near the scene of action
the RATHER manned three of her own boats, and
these, with the American, attacked the pirates
Lieutenants Pergram and Rolando, with the
launches of the Powhatan, attacked them with
volleys OF musketry, clearing the decks Of the
wolargest, then boarding and driving the pirates
overheard at the point of the bayonet. The
latter fought with great desperation. A young
American marine, named Adamson, was shot
through the groin.
"Another accident was the blowing up of a
junk which for time had offered the most
determined resistance to the English gig, in
which were Captain. Fellowes and Assistant
Surgeon Wilson, with five men, but which was
ultimately taken possession of, by Lieutenant
Roando and his launch. Either train had
been laid before the crew left, or some deter
mined scoundrel fred the junk for she blew
up, with tremendous explosion, and both
officers and men were hurled into the water.
Three of the men were killed and several
others frighttully scorched, one of whom died
the same night, while another is not expected
to live; but the others miraculously escaped,
though Lieutenant Rinaldo was burned and
Capt. Fellowes injured by the falling spars
The survivors were, however, all picked up by
Mr. Craig, masters mate Of the Powhatan,
who had luckily gone into the boat the moment
before the explosion took place. In this junk
was an immense quantity of treasure, said to
amount to 100000, and the desperation with
which her crew fought may be judged Of from
the fact that even after the Americans gained
the deck they were encountered hand to hand.
The officers employed estimate the number of
guns taken at two hundred, large and small,
and the pirates at one thousand FIVE hundred
OF whom were killed
The following is a list OF Americans killed
and wounded:
"Killed-Joseph A. Halsey, Isaac Co. and
John Pepper
"Wounded. - Lieutenant r. H. Pegram,
commanding the boats,) and Lieutenant FL.
Rolando, both in the hand Benz Adamson,

The English had four killed and seven
wouded.
