The SPECULATIVE MOVEMENT IN SUGARS
There has been for some time movement GO
ing on in sugars, both in London and in other
promin ent markets of the world. Like cotton,
it is supposed that consumption has overtaken
to its culture With the exception of Cuba
scarcely any other sugar growing country has
augmented its supplies while in some places,
including the State Of Louisiana, in this coun-
try, the reports have exhibited decided indi-
cations Of diminished crops.
1t isreported, on the most reliable authori~
ty, that the Messrs. Rothchilds, of London,
same rumor alsoprevailed recently in Havana.
1t is known that this house have agents distri--
buted all over the world where there is COM
merce OF Importance. These agents are found in
sugar growing countries as we'll as in other
places. 1t is through these persons the
house, it is said, has been enabled to obtain
reliable information as to the supply of the
world. And then by ascertaining the amount
required for consumption generally, more
or less correct data could be obtained on which
to base large speculative movement. By
purchasing supplies when everything could be
had cheapest, whether in Havana, Brazil, East
Indies or elsewhere, they would be enabled, on
an advance in prices to realize large profits.
To secure an operation in this movement, it lie
likely they have had something to do with,
articles which have recently appeared in Lon
don papers, and in the Paris Constitutional, IA
voring the idea, which in itself may be more
or less true that the sugar crop Of the world dur
ing the past year has been ins uhfoiont to meet
the consumption of the world. Since the first
of May, and especially since the unfavorable
prospects of another crop in Louisiana have
become known, prices have steadily improved
in this Market and sugars have been high,
both in Paris and London, during good part
of the winter and spring; and should they
continue to be sustained, the house reported to
have engaged in purchasing largely cannot do.
otherwise than make money.
Their large capital and credit may enable
them to control, to greater or less extent,
such articles as sugar and coffee, but the valu-
able product of cotton would be above the,
reach or the grasp OF dozen houses of simi-
lar strength.

Of operations and his "grand future" The
prospect is that henceforth he will lack neither
volunteer men nor volunteer contri buttons to
aid him in his great enterprise. In all those
regions we have embraced in his programme,
the Standardization hybrids have been tried,
and Tor oil useful purposes, to themselves or to
others, they have deplorably failed. The fine
and luxuriant countries which they have
wasted should be reclaimed. Improvement
and development are the law of the Creator
and the spirit of the age. General Walker and
his great scheme of political, social and re-
ligious improvement and Of commercial de-
velopement, have the active aympathies of the
American people. While he continues to be
guided, therefore, by the dictates Of magma
Dimity and justice, the true policy of England
and France, if they cannot aid him, is to let
him alone. Let him work out his problem, ct
all events, as long as good results to all con-
ceIned follow his movements.

That LIBEL SUIT.-We perceive that the
great libel case Of Fry VS. Bennett has had
another trial, and that the jury have rendered
this time verdict of six thousand dollars, in.
stead of ten thousand: thus saving the defend
ant four thousand dollars According to the
opinion Of all the disinterested spectators Of
the trial, there was not the slightest cause,
either in law or fact, to warrant such verdict:
on the contrary, they state that the evidence
warranted verdict for the defendant. In
deed, the case was so clear, and the enlighten
ed charge of the Judge so much to the point,
that they express the greatest surprise
at the obtuseness of the jury. They
can only account for the verdict on
the superstition that the jury were not
acquainted with the rights and privileges Of
the press, or the respective merits Of the par
ties to the case; that they were guided in Civ
ing their verdict by the example of the former
one; and that, understanding that was wrong
they struck off two-ffths, and followed it for
the rest. They were not aware, of course. that
the ridiculous verdict Of the first jury was
equally contrary to law and evidence, and is
btueISliy UtllCNtu W nave UeeQ Inc OffSDriQp
Of very improper efforts. OF course measures
have been taken for new trial; and the case
will be pursued until the liberty Of the press
and the privileges OF theatrical criticism are
established on sound foundation, by the high
est legal tribu nal Of the State.
AS an Offset, we suppose the great libel case
Of Bennett vs.. Fry---a case Of magnificent di-
mensions--wiii soon come off The atrocious
libel against Bennett, on which this case il
based, was written by Fry and published in
the Neag Yogk T5iJane. On its appearance,
suit was brought against the Tribune, aud
verdict taken Of fifty thousand dollars, which
now stands recorded against that journal; the
proprietors having abandoned all attempt to
defend the libel they published against their
contemporary We presume that Toe recollec-
ton Of this fifty thousand dollar verdict, hang
ing over the heads Of the managers Of the ri
Luac, may account for the calmness and philo-
sophy and prudent silence they have manifest

Mn. SUMMERS SPEEcH.--We publish this
morning the late speeches Of Senators Butler
and Sumner in full. The reader will notice
sonalities, no abuse Of individuals; whereas
the performance of the latter, which was much
more rhetorical than statesmanlike, abounded
with them
1t is much to be regretted that Senator Sum-
ner's speech is much more faithful type of
the prevailing speeches and writing Of politi-
clans, both North and South, than Senator
Butler's Neither in the press nor in the pub
hshed speeches Of the leaders Of the niger
parties-the drivers and the worshippers -does
there appear to be spark Of gentlemanly
feeling, or gentlemanly principle We alluded
yesterday to the language Of Massachusetts
anti slavery meeting, to which this will per
fectly apply. 1t is equally applicable to the
Southern politicians, whose language and
manners have grown of late years extremely
offensive. Their demeanor in Congress on va
rious occasions since the attack on John Quincy
Adams for presenting petition, has disgraced
not only themselves but the body Of which they
formed part, and the country at large. They
seem, or rather some of them seem, to have
lost all reserve or respect for decency or pro-
priety. Only last year, Governor Wise, of Vir-
ginis, called an editor all sorts of hard names
because he presumed to have his speeches re-
ported. And the language commonly used by
the Southern journals, such as the Richmond
Enquirer and the Richmond Examiner, is coarse
and ungentlemanly in the extreme. The ma
lightly Of some. of these journals is such that
they fall foul of their friends as often as their
enemies; assail persons who have stood up for
them for quarter Of q century as violently
as those who never allude to them except to
villify them; are as coarsely abusive Of the
NEW YORK HERALD as of the abolitionist or
gana
1t need hardly be remarked that the dis
graceful phenomenon is not peculiar to the
South. Some Northern journals and Northern
meetings far surpass the South in rowdyism
and ungentlemanly language. And it is from
this cause that the halls Of Congress are dis
graced by scenes Of brutality and outrage, aud
that the course pursued by the leaders of par
ties is rendering the political profession be
reath the adoption Of any man of proper feel
ing or gentlemanly principle.

DEPARTURE OF Mr.. CHAMPION AND THE Con-
sUIs- Mr.. Champion, late British Minister near
the Cabinet at Washington, and Mr.. Anthony
Barclay, the late British Consul at this port,
(Mesns Mathew and Rowecroft remaining for
the present are to leave Boston tomorrow by
the Britiah steamer; having been civilly dismiss
ed by the federal government in consequence Of
their violation Of the laws of the United States
in regard to the enlistment Of residents here
to serve in foreign armies. A request for their
recall was made sometime since on their 60
vernmeDt but the request was not backed by
the evidence that has since been collected by
the State Department; and there is no reason
to suppose that the British Cabinet was made
fully aware of the state of the case. Since that
request was despatched, new testimony has
placed the guilt Of the four officials beyond
question. At the same time, the British 60
vernment, relying perhaps in some measure on
the inadequacy Of the evidence which il had
then before it, and placing too much faith in
the protestations of the accused, refused to re-
call them. Under these misunderstanding
it is not to be doubted that the interests of both
countries would have been better served by
more straightforward dealing and less lawyer
ipe ard pettifogging both at Washington and
at London-there WAS nothing left for the
United States government but to give an
earnest Of it's belief in the protestations Of
Lord Clarendon, and Of the sincerity of its
wish TO keep the two nations united, by dis
missing the Minister whose conduct cannot be
reconciled with Lord Clarendon's despatch,
except on the supposition that he rashly trans
cended his instructions.
1t will doubtless be an excellent thing for
both countries. Mr.. Champion was very re-
spectacle, amiabie man; but his own govern
ment must long since have been satisfied Of
his upfitness for the station he held. Such mo
mentous interests as those of the two branches
Of the Anglo-Saxon race ought not to be en-
trusted to the keeping of individuals who for
get to read dispatches, and who are 80 sadly
deficient in tact and propriety as to repeat ic
their official dispatches the newspaper scsn.
dals against the government to which they are
accredited. Mr.. Champion was an cttache to
the British enbassay at st. Petersburg, and a
secretary at Washington under, Pakenham
and Bulwer; and in these capacities he gained
friends and credit; both Of which he has con-
tinued to lose since he became Minister. He
had better be sent to Victoria.
For the three Consuls who are also dis
missed, the feeling here is very sympathetic,
though doubtless sympathy is the last thing
they require. Both Mr.. Barclay and Mr.. Ma.
thew we're long and favorably known in the
communities where they resided. They were
men of high character, amiable disposition,
and adequate capacity. The country would
have been we'll pleased had the President al
lowed them to remain; though, unless the Bri-
fish government behave very meanly and
stability, hey will be gamers by the change.

A Know NOTHING NATIONAL COUNCIL --WnAr
DOES TT NEAN?-The Know Nothings, North
and South, we believe, hold National Couu-
Gil in this city, commencing to-day. Who they
are for, what they are after, and where they
stand, we shall inform our readers in due sea-
son. We know nothing at present Of their
plans or expectations. The important bust
ness of the Presidential election will doubtless
be the main question, but whether they will
declare for Fillmore and Donels0n in sort Of
ratification of the Philadel phia fzzle, or strike
out for new deal, it will be the solemn duty
Of the Council itself to determine. That in
teresting subject accordingly, we leave to
their cool deliberations with closed doors.
We would nodestly suggest, however,
that az niggerism is the paramount question
of the day, they must show their hands upon
the niger question or subside into hopeless
obscurity. They must declare whether they
are for Fillmore and Donelson, including the
Fugitive Slave law and the hundred and odd
niggers of the Major, or for grand Northern
Anti Slavery Protestant Know Nothing combi-
nation, like that Of the new George Law move
uent, set apart for the l2sh of June. Niggere
are now all the rag4-niggerism is the great
issue--this Council, then, must pronounce it.
sell, one way or the other, upon niggerism, or
sink into hopeless oblivion. Its labors may
end in another most inglorious fizzle; but LET
us live in hope Possibly the Cincinnati Con-
vention may bring them up with round turn
to something novel and exciting; so let us pa
tiently wait o day or two. "Rome was not
