error sustained and Arrison pronounced en-
titled to new trial. But as the criminal
court has been abolished by act Of legislature,
the case could not Of course be remanded
back, as is usual to the court before which it
was first tried, and so it remained to the
court of common pleas which has the dispo-
sal of criminal cases. Here then is the
difficulty.
The legislature, in its haste to abolish
Judge Finn and his court, neglected to pro-
vide for such unfinished cases as might be
remanded back by the higher courts tor o
new trial. The proper way undoubtedly
would have been to transfer the adjudication
of such cases to the court of common pleas,
but no provision of that kind was made
AS the matter now stands, it is, to speak
mildly, exceedingly doubtful whether there
is court in Christendom competent to ad-
judicate upon Arrison's case. This being
so, counsel for prisoner, who are no wise
lacking in ingenuity, have only to avail
themselves of a favorable opportunity to
make application for a writ of habeas cor
pus, requiring the autohrities to show cause
why he is detained, and no court upon earth
can refuse to discharge him. At least this
is the opinion Of many legal gentlemen,
with whom we have conversed upon the
subject.
The late foreign news has been generally
published in all the papers. A great battle
was fought before Sevastopol, in which the
Russians lost six or eight thousand and the
French two or three thousand. The French
were victorious, and the town was more
closely invested. The rest of the war news
is thus summed up -
Successes of the Allies
The New York Post thus sums up the re-
cent successes of the allies -" A new sta
ton formed by the besieged has been attack
ed and carried with great loss to the troops
of the Caar; the posts on the river .Tcher..
maya have been attacked by the allies and
precipitately abandoned by the Russians;
the sea of Azoff has been entered by the
French and English naval forces, where they
have now fourteen steamers afoat, and the
port and Notifications of Kertsch have fall
Ell into their hands. The forts of Arabat,
on that sea, have been bombarded and de-
stroyed. At Yenkale, the quarantine sta
ton for the sea of Azoff-a port we'll known
to the commercial world for its expectation
of corn--the allies have established garri-
son. The capture of Kertsch has been at
tended with serious losses to the Russians
foundry of cannon destroyed by the enemy,
war steamers and merchant ships burned,
powder magazines blown up, and stores of
corn thrown into the sea by the Russians
themselves, to say nothing OF the spoil won
by the allied forces. The expedition to
Kertsch appears to be the consummation of
the mysterious movement made not long be-
fore from Kamiesch.
"The Russian forces are now annihilated
by sea. and the narrow entrance by land to
the Crimea will be henceforth commanded
by the allies. They can either shut up the
Russian troops in the peninsula without
supplies of provisions and ammunition, or
force them to seek an engagement in the
open field, where the contending forces will
meet on terms of equal advantage
