New York, Dec. 9th, 1865.
Trial Of BGkeT-Ihe Irish IN A1erica--.Tohn
Bull-Daglgerto Canada MortaEity-
Fine Arts, &c.
The trial of Lewis Baker for the murder of
William Poole, has been one of the most absorb
ing incidents Of life in our city during the week.
The room in which the trial takes place is flied
from its opening to its close, and every face APP
pears full of interest in the proceedings. The
trial of ordinary murder here excites little in
terest, but this calls up feeling of nationality.
Poole, it was supposed, became martyr to Amer
icanism Baker was considered the champion of
the foreigners, and is now supposed, by the lower
grades, TO be suffering in their cause The de.
fence are endeavoring to prove that Poole was the
aggressor, and that Baker acted simply on the
defensive, at the time the tragedy was enacted
II this plea is established he will, of course be
acquitted, and his liberation will be likely to Gre
ate much i'll feeling. If he obtains his enlarge
ment the best thing the city can do is to re-char-
the - Grapeshot," and leave him once more at TIE
Canary Islands.
But short time since the whole American peo-
pie Joined heartily in laugh against rather an.
cent and distant relation Of theirs, known by the
familiar name of John Bull, who had became
somewhat hysterical at the thought of an i'm
mense Irish confederation in this country, the OBJ
iect Of which was TO wrest the dear oud sod -
from his uncomfortable grasp. The London
Times, which as it now appears, was right in the
matter, was denounced IN no measured terms for
its bluster, as it was not supposed that, with all
their hot-headedness the Irish, in this country
were sufficiently rash to attempt an invasion of
their native land, or any Of the dependencies Of
the British crown. 1t was supposed moreover,
from their proverbial treaehery to each other IN
matters Of patriotism, that, IL such confedera-
ton existed, its accouchment and early struggles
into life, would be given to the world BY some I'M.
cautious tongue, But, the Irish are e ttinu pru-
dent. aud that such a confederation exists Is no
longer secret, as delegates from nearly every
State in the UnionNnet yesterday at the As or

The last number of Hunts Merchant ElfqgG-
zine contains review of commercial and bust
ness affairs for the past year, from which, and
from practical observations, the conclusion is
manifest, that the prosperity Of the country APP
pears daily to become settled upon broader and
deeper foundation. The amount of labor expend-
ed upon the soil during the past twelve months,
is certainly one third more than for the pre-.
vious year, and the results are seen in the im-
mense products harvested. OF crops Of all kinds
everything indicates larger yield than ever be-
fore recorded We have thus, in our great staples,
breadstufs and cotton, the near certainty of very
large surplus for export.
Other interests, it states, are likewise improy-
ing, afording, in the whole, most favorable indi-
cations Of returning thrift and activity in business
operations. There are fewer oilers in almost every
department Of trade and commerce. The ship
ping interest has greatly revived But, notwith-
standing the reasons for a strong faith in pros.
porous future many fear that further troubles are
to arise out of the difficulties in Europe No
doubt they will have an important bearing upon
our prospects, yet We hope not to the extent some
predict. Wars NOWADAYS are not SO disastrous
In their effects upon the commerce of distant
countries as was wont in earlier times. Still,
peace in Europe is very much to be desired. The
abstraction from us of large amount Of capital
necessary to carry on operations, constitutes the
chief anxiety in our connection with European
troubles in the present crisis.
As still further indication of things, tits seen
that the revenue Of the country, during the last
quarter of the year, shows far less decline than
for either of the two previous quarters, and has
rapidly increased since October 1st Did not this
fact also show, to some extent, deficit in home
productions necessary to supply the increased
demand for manufactured products. it might be
set down favorable indication. Yet, we trust
the tide Of business has seen its ebb, and that
we are about to launch, as most of the auspices
seem to indicate, into successful and perma-
nent future Of renewed prosperity and enter
prise.

P.-,Iza. Bigorry in lbe senaIe.

Desn.tches from Washington state that on
Taursday evening, the Democratic Senators met
n caucus. and after organizing, chose Com
mittse Of seven, al the head of which they put
Gen. Cass. with Mason, Toucey, Jones' Fltzpat-
rick Sidell, and Evans, to report to another eau
Gus to be held early next week, proper arrange
ment of the standing committees Of the Senate.
The caucus seemed pazzled TO determine the po-
litical sentiments Of theopposition. Finally, the
following gentlemen were put down as Know
Notfiines ;-Messrs. Houston of Texas. Critten-
den of KY, Adams of Miss, Cieayton Of Del,
Bell of Tenn, and WILSON of Mass! The last
named gentleman viii not thank them for putting
him in such company. By what rule Of proceed
ing they put him in that list in preference to such
as Hale and Bell of n. H.. also eIse'ed by X y
votes, we are unable to perceive. But the cream
Of the matter is, that they should recognize no
other party, Of all the opposition
The Republicans, including Wilson, nambeE
fifteen in that body. Bat they Ws.e deemed to
belong to an tt,ahealthy organization, ana there
fore unworthy of place upon any Of the COM
mittees Such men as Sumner, and Durkee, and
Fessenden, and their compesrs, are considered by
creatures like Cass and Toucey to be unfit for
recognition as Senator's from sovereign states Of
this republic. It is stated, however, that the
caucus took into some consideration on the pro-
priety of placing Republican Senators on the
committees. but did not come to any conclusion
fayorahle thereto. It was presumed by this eau
Gus, states the dispatch, that the fossil remains of
the Wing party would probably act with the De-
mocracy hereafter.
So, on the strength Of that supposition, the
services Of such renowned patriots as Pearce and
Pratt of Maryland, Geyer Of Missouri, and BEN
jamin of Louisiana, viii be saved to the country,
and their representation allowed on the commit
tees. In bunker eyes, the presence of these men
there will more than counterbalance the alb
sence Of fifteen such ornaments to the Senate as
Charles Summer In the estimation of such "old
fcgies as Lewis Cass, few fossil relics, consti-
tuting the last dregs of the old defunct whig par
tys are. of more consequence than whole score
Of Republican Senators. But we hope a better
day Is destined soon to dawn upon the country,
when men who believe LIBERTY is national, and
slavery sectional. will not be prescribed to make
room for those who act on the principle that
slavery is the onlyinstitnton worth protecting by
the national government, and liberty mere sec
tional concern, to be crushed under foot.

BREADsTuFFs.- Speaking of the prevailing
high prices OF breadstuffs and the immense
supplies for expectation which the country is
capable of Attending, the Buffalo Courier re-
marks
There is hardly any limit to our surplus OF
wheat and corn, and if the demand abroad
should carry off 100000 bushels, which is al
most four times as much as we have ever ex-
ported in one year, there would still be an
abundant supply for home consumption
Strange asst may seem, that with large sur
plus on hand, fully equal tosupply the demand
from abroad prices should rule SO high, it is,
nevertheless, IN obedience to law of trade,
which makes sudden impulse push the mar.

ment in the ordinary channels Of supply pro.

The BLocDsEBD AND BURNINGs IN KANSAS.
= Kansas IS in a flame with an intestine war
the people Of the territory on one side. and
Gov. Shannon with his Missouri auxilIaries
on the other, Blood has flowed, and dwell
ings have been fred man flies from man, as
from the savage beasts OF that wild region. or
seeks the life of his brother as he ould that
of the wolf or The bear. Nor is this contest
in which the rest of the country is neutral;
it is civil war, TO which we all are more or
less parties. The battle ground is Kansas,
but the allies of the combatants fill the entire
circuit of the United States. This is the first
time that civil discussions, arising from a
cause Of quarrel common to the whole coun-
Try, nave proceeded 10 open and armed vio-
lence.
The cloud from which this shower of blood
is falling has long been gathering. Sagacious
observers have been looking with anxiety for
an armed collision between the friends and
enemies of slavery in Kansas, almost from the
hrst moment that the country began 10 be oe-
cupied by emigrants from the States When
the invading party from Missouri imposed a
spurious Legislature upon the residents, and
passed laws of an intolerably tyrannieal ma.
ture. it became certain that these laigs would
be resisted, and, If necessary, resisted even to
blood. The residents saw themselves aban-
doned by the federal government in these sue
cesslye lnroads of the Shareholders from Mis-
souri,; and accordingly sent to the Eastern
States for arms, and adopted a voluntary mar
thai organization. Ever since Governor Reeder
was removed, and shannon was sent out bv
MI Pierce in his place. to enforce the spuri-
Gus code promulgated at the Shawnee Mis-.
sion, the country has been literally without a
government.
We are now reaping what was sown when
the Missouri compromise was repealed. Not
drop of blood is shed in this strife. which
does not cling to the garments of those who
supported that fatal measure; not a victim
1alls on either side, for whose death they are
rot answerabie. In passing the Nebraska
bill, the administration and its friends pre-
pared the torches which have since kindied
the fires in Kansas, and forged the weapons
by which our countrymen have been slain.
1t Is Impossible not to feel an intense sym.
pathy with those who have taken the attitude
of bold and determined resistance to the de-
erees OF the pretended legislature which sat at
the Shawnee Mission. Every liberal senti-
ment-the love of freedom, the hatred of op-
preston. the detestation of fraud, the abhor-
renee of wrong cloaked under the guise of
law-every feeling of the human heart which
does not counsel cowaidly submission and tile
purchase OF present safety at the price OF fu-
ture evils, takes part wi h the residents of
Kansas. They may commit imprudent acts
they may be rash; there may be famatlcal per-
SONS among them, Tho will do what we can
not Justify; but their cause is a great and
righteous cause, and we must stand by it to
the last.-N. Y. Zee. Post.
