THE murder of DR.. Burdell in New
York city two weeks since, has awakened
an interest and caused an excitement in
the public mind, almost without paral.
lei, judging from the extended accounts oil
the city papers. 1t is not strange that ii
is SO. This murder took place in his own
office, in public part of the city. and a,
. time Of night when people are returning
from parties or business, and house full
Of inmates. Yet for all this, the Co.o.
ner's Inquest has been sitting ever since
withou, getting any clue to the guilty ones
or clic,ting evidence sufficient to warran,
Al opinion in the matter.
The evidence thus far has taken wide
range, showing considerable of New York
life, and proving that if this murder wa
committed by any of the inmates of tn,
house in which the deed was done. that il
is the result Of the jealousies and ayarics
Of the guilty man and woman.
We cannot find space to publish TIT
testimony.

the resseL shall be liable TO seizure and
forfeiture.
If Congress enacts this absurd law, ev-
ery ship that loads abroad must have
every package. box or oask opened, and
the invoice compared with its contents,
before it goes aboard.
In addition to the present officers,
there would have to be on board OF ev-
cry homeward bound ship smelling
committee to examine each package.
Chaper IL makes the hospital money
PAYABLE by the ship, to wit, five cents
per ton on each renewal ola registry.-
The Government might. it seems to us,
with equal propricty ask the merchants
to pay the expenses Of their respective
custom houses, as of their marine hospit-
ais.
We admit the meanness of govern.
meut as rich as ours, taxing our jacks
for their hospitals. when they ought to
pay it themselves. but it is still more I'M
just to lay this tax OF ships whose dis
cases are not cared at marine hospitals.
Chapter II, section IS, prohibits i'm
portations of liquors and wines in small
pac kages, or cases containing less than
six dozen bottles. also cigars in packages
less than five thousand, on forfeiture of
both goods and ressei.
We are glad to learn that our Board of
Trade have prepared remonstranee to
Congress against these laws, and VIC have
no doubt that it will be generally signed
BY all those interested in commerce.
