The CASE OF CHARLES CLARION the morning OF the.
LIST OF February a Are took place in the dwelling apart

house $40 Pearl street. The circumstances at the time
were Of q very suspicious character, and the police ar
rested Clair on suspicion of knowing something about.
the arson. The accused was taken before Justice Con.
nelly, who directed the Fire Marshal to make a thorough
investigation, and the evidence showed which we give
IN substance) that Clair was insured for much more than.
bis household goods were worth, AMI, independent of
that, he erdeayoTed to procure an additional $500 insu-
rance from another company. The carpenter repairing
the buill ing testified there was two disiin 4 burnings Of

THE CASE OF FRANCIS MURPHY.-In this case the ac-
cused kept a grocery store at the corner OF Eightseptb

Tor ON the grouEds Of necessity or personal
feeling, sseing that but little credit viii be
AWARDED to Its author for any very patriotic
i'm, ulses.
The next steamer win in all probability bring
us the news of the resignation Of the Aberdeen
ministry en- masse, and of the appot ntment Of
Lord Palmerston to the Premiership. Without
that Office his tenure Of the Ministry of War
would be next to useless in Ne present emer-
gercy. To do any thing more than his prede-
cessor has accomplished, he must combine in
his person the two Offices, and thus obtain an
absolute control over AL departments connect
ed directly or incidentally with the war. It is
to the absence of that power that the failure of
the Duke Of Newcastle is in some degree a.
cribed-for he is not without ability, and is
besides a man of untiriDg industry. or the
members of the present Cabinet, we apprehend
that but few will be found in the new adminis-
~tration. The people are tired of q coalition of
talents which only serve to neutralize each
other, and will prefer q ministry Of less brilliant
parts but more earnest and patriotic purpose.
AS 10 Lord Derby we do not see much proba-
bility OF his serving under Lord Palmerston.
He is too proud and self-willed to do that, and
he is besides more q man Of words than Of &C
tion. In re organizing the ministry it will pro-
baby be necessary to admit o larger proportion
of the democratic element than usual in it.
The evil influence Of the aristocratic system on
the conduct of the war, and the shameful nepo-
tism which has been exhibited in connection
with it, will lead to a violent explosion unless
some effort is made by the new government to
lop off or effectually neutralise those abuses.
We fear, however, that Lord Palmerston with all
his energy, all his unquestionable ability and
all his thoroughly English feeling, will be una
BILE in this respect to divest himself OF the pre-
JUDGES of his class. The remedy must come
from the people themselves. Until they sweep
away the distinctions which oppose rank to
merit, and which place the prizes Of an honor
able ambition only within the reach of q privi-
legged few, they must ever expect to be the vic
Tins Of corruption and treachery.

action IL ID also manifest that the administration,
elected upon The basis Of the Union sentimsnto of
the whole country, has destroyed that senti-
ment, and rendered next to impossible any
national conservative party movement for the
approaching Presidential election. It Is m,ni-
feet that we shall have a sectional campaign
anttslavery In the North, pro-slavery in the
South.
The only hope is in the good sense of the
independent masses Of the people. The tate
n tislavery elections express the paramount
sentiment excited in the North against the Ne
braska bill. 1t is not abolitionism-is is not q
spirit Of interference with slavery in the States
1t is opposition to the extension of Southern
slavery, and to the introduction OF slavery into
the Territories where 1t has no. previously ex-
listed. The Nebraska bill was a constitutional
act, repeating an unconstitutional interiict. But
the measure was abrupt-the Missouri compro-
mise had stood the test Of thirty. four years of
agitation, and the South had acquiesced. Mr..
Pierce, who wished to clear himself of his free
soil Affiliations to the satisfaction of the South,
was driven to this e1pedient of repeal. The
results are before him His only reliance now
is Henry A. Wise, an old whig, the deadliest
enemy Of President Van Buren,, turned demo-
crat to save Van Buren's successor in ONCE.
Small now are the chances for Cuba, or auo-
Their flice Of Mexico, or Dominica, or the Sand
wich Islands. The rebound OF the Nebraska
bill has knocked all these projected acquisi.
lions out Of the category Of the administra.
ton. Its foreign policy is thus wholly revolu.
t~ionized, and its hie h-iown pretensions have
vanished In TIE clouds Of dust and smoke Of the
