The terrible treatment TO which merchant sea-
men, both in the British service and our own, are
subjected, continues to receive the attention of the
leading London Journals. Of the actual wrong and
outrage of the torture, the cOntumely and the in
dignity there can, We are panied to say, be no
doubt We wish we could believe that reform
would speedily follow the verdict which the facts
have elected, and that some wise, generous and
enlightened course would at once present ITSELF
BY which these signal scandals Of trade might be at
once obterated. We do not want talk, but action
The Press upon both sides of the Atlantic has done
its duty, but the Press does not own ships nor con-
troll them. Its work is substantially finished when,
from the records of criminal courts, and from the
information cleaned by its reporters, it has made
out prima fdeie case against captains, first off-
GERS and owners. That case is made out. We
have proved the drugging the swindling, the abuse
the batteries, the inadequate remuneration and the
coarse fare. The only question now Is, Is this TO
eoonl The answer rests with our merchants and
with the commanders Of ships. a resolution or
two, speech or two, little stir and sudden ad'
iournment Of the whole matter will not remedy this
acknowledged evil The whole thing must be
taken in hand sharply, sternly and vigorously
Feeling this, We are sorry to find the question
discussed in the London papers in frivolous way.
correspondent Of The Times suggests that all
the merchantmen wear uniform. Another cor
respondent of the same newspaper complains that
sbip-captains do not receive proper social recOg-
milton. This seems TO US TO be very absurd. At any
rate. whatever pertinency these prescriptions may
have in land of stars and garters, they have none
here. Most of our ses-captans already wear a uni
form. 1t may not consist of gold lace, cooked
hat. cutass and regulation button: but it s, for
all that pretty well defined. Indeed, We cannot
see what particular charity, kindness or wisdom

The Virginians are to have grand celebration
tomorrow Of the two hundred and fttieth ami
yersary of the landing of the first cOlonists of Vr-
ginis at jamestown. The scale on which prepare
tons are made for the company expected at this
grand State festival, contrasted with the prepare
tons ordinarily made for a centennial celebration
Of the smallest England village, are hardly less
instructive than the contrast between the present
desolate state Of James City and its neighborhood,
and what may be seen at all the early seats Of New
England colonization. These preparations include
tho building of cabins for the visitants to lodge in,
as there are at present no houses on the ISLANDS
refreshment saloon Us feet long, and dining hall
capable of seating 500 persons. Five hundred Per
sons Only that number to dine together to com
memorate the first settlement of Virginia.

The n. Y Times refers to the strong suspicious
which, for day or two and until the temperance
of Sarah Bloom prevailed against one jenkins as
the Newburgh murderer as a striking proof Of
"the unreliability Of circumstantial evidence"
This is strange and odd mistake The suspicious
against Jenkins far from proving the unreliabity
of crcumstantial evidence, only prove the unrea.
bility of positive testimony. Those suspicious had
for their commencement and sole foundation the
fact positively sworn to by number OF witnesses
that the dead body on which the inquest was held
was the body of Sarah Bloom. Taking that as
fact. the circumstance that jenkins by bis own ad-
mission was with her at a lonely place at midnight
since which she had not been seen alive, was GER
tainly well calculated to excite suspicious against
him. And the part of the case that broke down
was not the part resting upon circumstantlal, but
the part resting upon positive testimony. 1t was
not Sarah Blooms body; the witnesses who swore
30 positively TO its identity were mistaken.
