Nsh it, In q corrected form:
3 Mr. RIvEs-The late lecture of Mr. RiYes be
fore the Young Mems Christian Association of this
city added the browning stone to the high reputa-
ton of that gentleman for elegant scholarship and
the most genuine and elevated eloquence There
Il but one other man in the United States since the
death of Daniel Webster, who combines in such an
eminent degree the best qualities of the statesman,
the thinker and the student who is equally at home
In the council chambers of the country and the halls
of literature. That other man is Edward Everett,
Of Massachusetts,; but, whilst he may equal Mr..
Rivss as scholar, he is, in our humble Judgment,
inferior to him a statesman, and bis nature lacks
that genial glow which pervades the character and
manners Of Mr.. Rives, and converts all who know
him into friends As well as admirers We look upon
VIM. c. Rives tho first and foremost man OF
America In these times, and trust that the mora,
i ecunsels of such a mind may have the influence
they ought to possess upon the young men of the
! country. ' ...-

The London Times having had the effrontery
10 make distinction between the people and the
Government Of the United States, our own jour
mails are at liberty TO return the compliment, and
mako distinction, with q broader foundation OF
truth than that of the Tines, between the people
and Government Of Great Britain. The people
Of that country do not desire war with the Uni
ted States upon the subject of enlistment, of Cen
trail America, Cuba, or any other subject They
view with indignation the readiness of Palmerston
to eubrol two free and kindred nations, whose in
terests bound up together those of one house
hold and whose downfalls would sound the knel Of
civil liberty throughout the world. They believe
that NO cabinet having the good of the British peo-
pie at heart would permit such fratricida war,
and they viii not furnish the means for its prose-
cution. They see in these warlike demonstrations
Of Pamerston to America, the crooked aud sinister
policy of Louis Napoleon, rho would have two
kindred representative governments involve them
solves in death grapple to their mutual destrue-
ton, leaving his military despotism TO override the
world
Iii to be hoped that public opinion in England
viii vindicate its supremacy, and hurl from power
the rninions of the French court who now constr
tate its ministry Otherwise, struggle may ensue,
compared with which the longest and bloodiest con.
test that England ever saw. would be mere chlds

SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST A LAWYER AT ST
LoUIs.-The st. Louis Republican, of the 9th inst
announces the arrest of VIM. Morgan q lawyer Of
that city, on charge of receiving stolen goods
Subsequently other charges were preferred of
which the Republican says:
One of these, charge of forgery against Nor
gan, although founded upon the accusation of one
Allen Potter, man now confined i'll the county
Jail for burglary and larceny has evidence of the
strongest character to support 1.-THE discovery of
the forged document ITSELF which Capt Manning
found in Morgan's Office. From disclosures already
made, concerning this forgery, it appears that Ma
ria Bates an old negress, living on 10th street be-
tween Market and Walnut, is owner of a house
aud lot she occupies, worth several thousand dol.
lars. a deed purportins to be from her ITO Morgan,
conveying title to this property, was forged last
spring. The prisoner, it is said, presented the deed
FOR acknowledgement TO Mr. Schroeder, notary
public, on Market street. near Second, taking .
white woman with him to deceive the notary by
personating Maria Bates. After acknowledgement
two three persons were called in from. the street
requested TO sign witnesses, and tho deed was
then taken off and recorded
Another accusation by Potter is not so well sun.
ported He alleges that the negro some time af
ter, having negotiations on foot for selling her
property, Morgan was apprehensve that the fraud
would be brought to light, and made overtures to
employ him to murder her. Aftera conference or
two upon the subject, he was promised $780, and
advised to use poison to accomplish the deed Pot
ter exhibited to Capt Manning strip of paper with
the words "hydrocianic acid written upon it,
which ho says Morgan gave him IS direction
what to purchase Whether this be true or not.
it is certain that an attempt was made upon the ne
gro's life last suminer--two men having entered
her house at night knocked her down. and run Off
leaving her for dead on the floor. ,.' &. - :.
Before the recorder yesterday afternoon, three
affidayts were sworn to and filed against Morgan
two for receiving stolen goods, and another for
the forgery Of the deed another alleging con.pira
cy to murder Narir Bates, W i'll be made out this
morning. An examination upon the first for the
robbery of gold watch and $780, from the house
of John c. Richardson, Esq, was entered into
Potter was sworn as Witness and testified SUBJ
stantially that Morgan plotted the robbery ten
days beforehand, and when it was committed re-
eeived the watch as his share OF the booty. The
. examination will be resumed this morning
When the court adjourned Mayor King directed
that the caaboose should be strictly watched and
| qua rded all night, to prevent any of Morgan's
friends or confederates to give him means of escape
