PROGRESS OF EVENTS IN KANSAS.

Amid the confusion of newspaper accounts generally
furnished by interested parties within the Territory and
the eagre information received by the telegraph it il
difficult to s out the real events transporting in Kansas
and to present the reader ineligible statement Of
facts as they really We only anayze all the
news received and select what to be reported
the most reliable authority.
As have heretofore stated the Legislature adjourned
on the evening of the 18th instant In addition to the
proceedings already reported the Legislature adopted
buttons by almost unanimous vote endorsing the To-
peka constitution in the strongest terms, and memorial
ling Congress to admit Kansas State under it also,
resolutions denouncing the Lecompton constitution, and
protesting against its reception by Congress- and act
repeating the rebellion act " which passed
Acting Governor Stanton's veto.
It win be remembered that of the
publicans was held at Lecompton the I'd instant
the eve of the meeting of the legislature when pro-
grnme was arranged for future proceedings One fea-
ture of this programme that the legislature should
pass law submitting the Topeka constitution to vote
Of the people 1t appears that the legislature observed
their pledge Secretary Stanton in this particular and
did not pass an act for this purpose
The omission of the legislature to carry out fully the
behess of the mass convention has produced dissatsac
tion and the latter had been summoned to meet again
on the Esd instant arrange for further disturbances
The vote on the question of retaining or excluding
slavery from the constitution conducted quietly and
according to telegraphic despatch received Monday
night resulted by a large majority for it's retention.
The act of the territorial legislature having clothed the
notorious Lane with the actual control over the militia,
and rendered him independent Of the executive of the
Territory may expect hereafter to receive inorma
ton OF continued ourages perpetrated by him and his
band all under color of his authority major gene

THE TREASURY NOTES.

Onr neighbours of the b,teiiigeneer must be ner-
vously anxious for some cause of complaint against
the Secretary of the Treasury. In no other way can
we account for its gratuitous attack in yesterday
paper based upon the statement of an irresponsible
writer The charge is that the Secretary Of
the Treasury has delayed the issuing of treasury
notes until he could reeeipe proposals for preparing tie
plates There is not word Of truth in the state
mont On the contrarya contract for the plates was
made, as we informed, the day after the pas
sage of the BILL Sooner it could not be made, as
the character Of the plates depended upon the form
in which the bill should pass. At one time the de-
parment contemplated the use of the old plates, in
which event the notes could have been issued a few
days sooner but, in view of the increased protection
against countereiting improvements, it was
deemed advisable to delay the issuing of the notes
for few days until new plates could be prepared.

FoREIeN IMpoR1s.

So much has been written and spoken during the
past few months relative to the excessive importa.
tons Of foreign merchandise in 1857 as compared
with preceding years, that have been induced to
examine with more than ordinary interest and atten.
ton the official returns of trade issued by foreign
governments towards the close Of the year, with
view to ascertain as exactly possible the amount
of the excess, well the aggregate amounts OF
foreign exports to this country from the official re,
turns Of the exporting countries. The result Of our
examination does not accord with the generayre-
ceived opinion that respects articles of luxury
and fashion, though we have been much more ex-
travasant and prodigal than ought to have been,
We have been, TO any great extent, more than in
preceding years The official returns of the French
government do not of unusual prodigaliiy,
although our increased expectations Of breadstuffs
and provisions to this country under the temporary
relaxation of its tariff burdens might well have jus
titled the expenditure of few extra thousands on
French silks, and even on Burgundy or Cognac, il
the prices had not ruled at extravaganza a figure
Nor do we find any very great increase against in
the British returns Of trade far they have been
published officially, for 1857, as compared with 1856
or the years immediately preceding. Indeed, the
aggregate values of the chief exports from Great
Britain to the United States for the first nine months
Of 1857 and 1856, although they exhibit considera
Bile advance in favor of the former year, show moth
ing unusual in the rapidly Embarrassing commerce OF
two great commercial nations of the world In pre-
sentng the following tabular statement, which we
have carefully compiled from the official returns of
Great Britain have excluded articles of minor i'm
portance and value, and given only those which, in
the British markets, are considered leading exports
to the United States.

YINDICATING THE LAWS.

We find in the Baltimore papers report from the
grand jury of the September term Of the Baltimore
city criminal court portion of which we lay before
our readers. An unusually large number o present
ments have been made, many of which doubtless
have grown out of the acts of violence perpetraed
during the recent elections in that city The grand
jury seem to have performed their duty with COM
mehdable zeal for the protection Of the peace Of the
community, and their report embraces several sug
gestions relating TO the difficulty encountered in OBJ
tanning testimony against parties believed to be
guilty, which should attract attention. 1t is now the
duty of the courts to punish the guilty and to mete
out such exact justice shall restore the good
Of Baltimore and eiface the reputation for lawless
ness and violence which attaches to that city
During session of sixty-eight days the grand jury
have examined nearly five hundred cases. and returned
30G true bills which 303 presentments unusual
number of which have been Of the highest grades of crime
known to the law. VI
We deem it our duty to call TO the attention of the
court some of the difficulties have encountered during
proacted session in obtaining testimony sufficient to
enable to find indictments against many whom had
to believe guilty OF the crimes charged against
them-parties whom have been compelled to discharge
on account of inability to obtain witnesses
1.-THE justices of the peace seem, in many cases, to
think that their whole duty is performed when they
furnish list Of the witnesses by whom the charge is to
be sustained before the grand jury It has frequently
happened that the only returned witness Is the
officer who took the prisoner to JAIL who having found
him in the station house in the morning has knowl
edge Of the charge for which he was committed.
There is also very general neglect the part Of po
lice officers to keep records of all that committed
for the action of the grand jury They SHOULD be
quired to keep note books, with record OF the
and residences of the witnesses 1t may be necessary TO
have summoned.
"1he greatest difficulty that has been encountered,
however, is the unwngness, through apparent fear OF
personal violence the part of many witnesses to tes
fly against the parties who have been ARRESTED
charges involving the rights and the lives Of
their fellow citizens They have before the grand
jury with apparent reluctance and although the deeds OF
violence have been committed in their presence persist
in declaring their inability to recognise the perpetrators
1t with pleasure the jury heard the court express ON
recent OCCASION its determination to punish to the ut
extremity of the law those who may attempt to in
timdate witnesses, otherwise obstrct the ends Of
iustice "

DISCHARGE OF GEN WALKER FROM CUSTOM

DISCHARGE OF GEN. WALKER FROM CUSTODY.
We learn that Captain Rynders, the United States
marshal for the southern district of the State of
New York, arrived in this city last evening, accom-
panied by General William Walker, the leader of
the Nicaragua expedition. In the course of the eve
ming the marshal called upon the Secretary of State
at the State Department, having General Walker in
his custody and informed him that he had received
a communication from Commodore Paulding, an
nouncinaake arrest of General Walker for carry
nglon an unlawful military expedition against Mica
ragua, and that the latter had promised upon his
honor, to surrender himself to Captain Rynders,
marshal of the southern district of New York, upon
his arrival in that city. Gen. Walker had done so,
and Captain Rynders had accompanied him to WASH
ington to ascertain the views of the government.
The Secretary of State replied that the executive
department of the government did not recognise
General Walker prisoners that it had no drec-
tons to give concerning him; and that it is only
through the action of the Judiciary that he could be
lawfully held in custody to answer any charges
that might be brought against him. The marshal
then informed Gen. Walker that he had no authority
to hold him in custody any longer, and the two gen
temen Immediately withdrew.
