New-York daily tribune., 1857-10-16

We have already alluded to the case Of Capt.
Rceers, who was executed at Liverpool, Eng, Oh
the 10Th ult for the murder Of sailor employed
UPON his ship. Our attention is again called to
this case by two facts. On the evening previous to
bis execution, Capt. Rogers wrote to friend
letter, which has been published, in which, in Ian
eusge apparently sincere he declares his innocence
of murder. We have no doubt that the novelty OF
bis position puzzled him. He had probably for
Years been in the habit Of giving loose rens to bis
passions, and of beating and cudgeling aud other
wise maltresting the men under him, without fear
of retribution. This was not, it must be remem-
bered, on ordinary murder. The death in question
w.s the result of series of cruelties, protracted
throu.h long voyage. Many mariners have We
suppose, been subjected to like tOrtures and dis
comforts and have escaped with their lives Many
others may have perished under similar treatment
while those who inflicted it have escaped punish
mert. 1t appears to have been an established rule
both in our own and the English merchant service,
that .eamen. whether before Commissioners or
Jnries. could have no redress. Their oath has
been distrusted. The confirmation Of their ship
mates has been held to be no confirmation AZ all
Often. upon landing the smart Of their Injuries

The crisis is over We are entering upon pc.
riOd of dullness. The panic has subsided, and
there are no exciting incidents in the history of yes
tsrday to chronicle. Business moves on sluggishly.
But few failures are announced, though there are
many renewals of notes upon extended time. Money
is still difficult to obtain at the highest rates of in
terest Stocks are advancing, and more business
in them is done. Specie commands but from to
per cent premium. Trade in Dry Goods is pros
trated; the Wholesale dealers are selling at retail,
and the retailers find few customers. The little
that is doing in any branch of business is for cash
The Banks are perecting the details of the new ar
rapgement at the Clearing House, which will soon
be made, it is believed, satisfactory to all parties.
Accounts from abroad are, for the most part,
not cheering. A deeper gloom seems to have come
upon Philadelphia and Baltimore, and other cities
seem to be whistling to keep their courage up.
More bank suspensions are reported. In New
Orleans great excitement prevailed yesterday AMI
the day before, and there was run upon all the
banks Many Of them bent to the storm and closed
their Doors In St. Louis there Was also serious

year should have preferred complaints Of the 'sne

criminal dockets have been trihe lonsef'
Capt Roger. in this letter, which is wrs'en 70
an old comrade, vehementy protests tnas nc : IN
pocept. He writes - if be thought 20. Aod ye'
the Court before which the case was tr,eo' 'ne
jury to which it was submitted and the Caoine'
officer to whom an application for pardon was made
had no doubt of the guilt Of the unfortunate man.
Probably. as We have said, he had done no more
than be had again and again done before with I'M
punity He could not make it murder. Ii ne nsa
cravled to the bedside Of slumbering enemy and
had effected an assassination; or if he hsd even
given in chance.medley blow which naa proved
fatal, he would have murmured less at bis nard iot
But he could not comprehend that he $40 %
huns because one Of bis crew declined to live un'
der treatment which it has been thought perfectly
proper to inHict upon whole ships company. 10
say the truth, Capt Rogers appears In this letter
in rather an amiable light. he speaks quits touch
ipely of his wife and children, and bis last words
to bis friend are not without certain manliness'
II is possible that be may have been the not Alto
gether culpable victim of system OF missosetn'
ing .hips which has transformed many men amiaole
on shore into monsters at sea.
The American captains in port at Liverpool seem
also 10 have been thunderstrck at the verdict, the
sentence and the execution. We suppose that they
loudly proclaimed that such things are man,sed
differently in America, as they certainly are. Ihey
exhibited their sympathy as Yankees are apt 20
show it, by making up purse. They sent t4o 70
the widow Rogers. They, too, questlonless, were
sincere. We do not say that all or any OF them
felt a disagreeable and premonitory crlck IN TIE
neck They seriously and unsel6shly thought Capt
Rogers innocent and the hanging no better than q
murder under the forms Of law. But the genera
effect of this case upon their minds we fancy VIII
be salutary. They have received good legal les
son, and warning which they will not soon forget.
They now know what the law makes murder and viii
treat as murder. They now know that when death
results from systematic and continuous and pro-
opged cruelty, he whose heavy hand and hard heart
accomplish that conclusion is just as much leon'
and that the malice prepense is just as we'll estab-
Eshed, as if the homi eide had been committed with
the utmost secrecy and after elaborate preparation
And as they know this, may we not hope that the
knowledge will do much to control the turbulent
passions of the quarter -deckl

One hundred and sixty seven failures of importan

One hundred and siIty-seven failures Of important
houses are recorded during the last week. At this
rate, coon few will be left standing.
The desperate state of the foreign silk
and dry goods trade is shown in the fact that
some Of the heaviest houses, with stocks worth
millions, have turned ret,ilers, and are welding
the humble yard stick in preference to total loss in
Wholesale inertia.
The next change in the drama will be the 70
bound from England, France aud Germany e.
pecialy tie first. Already The London I'Hse' (see
city article therefrom in another colunn) has
raised the note of pauic; the necessarily intrinsic
worthle.sness Of American railroad securities is
the theme. When England shall have received
the shock, then the South, cock.a-whoop for the
line Of steamers, and trade direct with the rest Of
mankind, will writhe. Ever looking to Europe

the best customer for cotton, in preference to mills

We wonder whether, in these tight times, Viii
liam Walker has found it perfectly easy, or even
practicable at all to raise that immense amount OF
bullion with which il was long since stated be was
about to reenter and recopquer bis lost kingdom
Our own impression is that he has found and will
continue to find it difficult to "reaize" upon Mica
Iaeuan scrip payable so long after victory. Still,
something might be done by buying for its value az
waste paper few cartloads of the notes of West.
ern banks Of the rosy canine order. These would
be quite as valuable as anything Walker has yet
disbursed TO his following, since they might serve
for waddipg in cases Of emergency when oral
premises Of large and magnificent farms in Mica
rsgua would he of no use.
Now is Walkers time, indeed, if only he can raise
the "sinews" vast number of men are out Of
employment, ard are ready to 20 soldering for want
of something else to do. But, before these ad7en.
turous spirits sign the papers, we would just remind
them of certain fish who did not like the frying
pan, and jupped-every body knows where. The
times may be hard here, but then it is probable
that they will be of dOwny softness compared with
the times in Nicaragua. Fighting at the best. is
ABOUT the WORST puslucss uau Vut VI cuplOIuc
can take up. 1t is rot pleasant when the pay is
coed and the rations plentiful; 1t i, particularly
unpaatable when there is nothing to eat and moth
ing to receive save gashes and gun-shot wounds.
As for the efforts of our Government to prevent
fllibusteriDg, we suppose that William indulses in
little quiet sleeve. exclamation whenever he hears
thereof He knows by personal experience the
true value of Procamations, and he is no more
frightened by them than the Engli,h troops in
China are by the devils painted upon the shields of
the Celestial warriors. He knows that il the Sec
retsry Of State had seen fit, be might easily have
obtained the conviction Of the returned flibuster
who marched unmOlested and in glory through the
country passing in his striumphantprogessu under the
noee of the President himself. There were laws,
jails, evidence, hemp, and haDguen enough to put
William Walkers pipe out in twinkling, but he
departed with it in full blaze. Betides it is only ne
ce.sary to say "emigration" instead Of "piracy,"
and all is serene at headquarters. Moreover, Mr..
Cass has declared for the sacred right of "expa
triation" Anybody that plesses to 60 to Nicaragua
solitary and alone, may 60 unmolessed. Only those
who leave in squads are sinners.
