From Our Own Correspondent.

tits something more than urPrlsing now tho
British functionaries in NewYof K, attached 70 tho
Consulate of her Majesty, have d 'red In the face
of testimony which they knew TO DO In ehi"eocs
and capable Of being produced, to d my iaets wnico
have already been demonstrated to b Ne satisfaction
of the public. Within the last few dA V additional
evidence has been received here which conclusvely
oyerhrows all the ecsntstatements mad eunder the
authority of Mr. Stanley, and puts him in predica-
ment from which extEicstion is wholly impracn-
cable. Two of the commissioned e6icers attached
TO the late Foreign Legion have testified : under
OATH that they and others, whoever either dicsed
or held to bail for violating Neutrality Laws
received from Mr.. Stanley the same rate Of , sy-
$72 month-which they were promised for ser
vice, and that this arrangement was terminA 'oo
summarily within the last ten days. 1t appoa T.
from the affidayits, Mr. Stanley represented I
the parties he was was about to visit Washington
for the purpose of closing the charges against them.
and asked fer the correspondence and Documents
in their possession as a means Of facilitating tho.
object. As soon as this important and perhapss
criminsting testimony was procured, the vctimss
were turned adrit and their allowance WAS stopped.
Under these circumstances they made o clean
reast of the whole transaction. Such conduct
requires no comment for the facts cannot be made
more imposing by words They are calculated TO-
excite Just and deep indignation, and If Mr. Stanley
was regarded of sufficient consequence to attract
ficial dspleasure, he might learn how sharp prac-
iice like this ought to be treated. But as he must

clay, any signal notice might NOT be equal 10 the
cost for the play would hardly pay for the candle.
In the secret and managing and influential cir
cles of the Democracy, the game is to throw Gen.
Pierce Mr.. Buchanan and Mr.. DOuglasoverboard.
Let US see how it will be played. These three
gentlemen will, at the outset, divide the prefer
ences Of the Free States, and command some
Southern support. Their partisans will adhere.
with some obstinacy and perhaps with some exhi-.
bition of feeling. The two thirds rule now fcrms
q part Of the Democratic creed. Neither Of these
candidates will probably be able to obtain that de-
greelof support Meanwhile the South will bo a.
dsciie as sucking doves. They will urge nobody
but applaud ALL and especially Gen. Pierce. b
and by they will come forward in o spirit sf cor +
cation, and say, though not desiring to press q
Southern man, as the proceedings will have show o,
that il is evident no Northern candidate co m
mand the necessary majority At this point Mr..
Hunter and troop of Virginia aspirants, supJ oss
he or they call into service rcversisaar in
teress from the defeated competitors, and thus
carry off the prize. Indeed, it is gsid, an gree
ment has been made in high quarters fer uch
revessiOn.
But the same influences will produce h same
disappointment in one case a. in the e$AsI The
real rally will ultimately be upon Gen. n omas j.
Rusk Of Texas. That will be the point d conoon-
tratiop unless the leaders and wirspnAS rs are oil
nised. The cards are already st0eAs d. and it
might create little astOnishmsnt, bs0 with the
public and in court circles, fsome 0f che dealers
in this Presidential game were known. They may
vet acquire that distinction This I .sclosure is
sufficient just now; and though ID na stagger tho
confident and surprise even the knr wing ones, il
s too important to be treated with adherence BY
those who desire different rssuk-
So far as ar. Fillmore is conceu aed the South
ern Americans who cOerced and c0mpsssed the
nomination have no expectatien Of his election.
They admit the certainty of defes and claim that
he sba s.asd in order to give tn IN the protection
of his eaonal shield NOV at reflection has
admirers Of the Vice -Presides .cy from the South
can contemplate the practical effect of their move
ment there is willingness 10 confess the dslusion
and, in some quarto,s, to re- pent the connection.
Mr. Vanderbilt had no &C ,mmHnicati0n with tho
Secrs.ary of State while ere few days ago, up
on the subject Of Geners | Walkers proceedings
against the Transit Com pany, and therefore tho
the assurance Of protec don from the Government
was unwarransed. In the present aspect of tho
case there is no usti6 cation for interpOsion pre-
sented, and Il is to be presumed the Company must
show conclusive fact warrantng interference, Dc
fore any siep will Je taken in such direction oy
the public authorities. The Company has not com
mended itself to favor By its past partially for
Walker, and Invocation now against him would
necessarily be scrutinizsd with some circunspec'
ton before being needed.
If the statements are well founded, Our Govern
ment has no concern whatever in this question:
which Is one strictly of local jurisdiction, apd ID
Yo,ves the Government for the time being such ss
