The ENGLISH PRESS ON THH SICKIEs TRIAL.
Some Of our London contemporaries have beer
amusing their readers with the ebulitious of
popular feeling with which the verdict ia the
Sickles case was received ia court They admit
the justice of the verdict, but they cannot under
stand its endorsement by public opinion after
this fashion. 1t is not to be expected that they
should. English sentiment is 80 chained down
by conventionalities that it is but rarely that it
ventures to give way to hearty physical de-
monstration. Englishmen imagine that respect
for the law consists in slavish veneration of its
symbols, and that Judge is as much the incar-
nation Of the divine wisdom as he is the
representative Of human justice. We care
nothing for mere forms. We have rejected the
ermine, the neckbands and the horse hair wigs,
those Vishnu accessories of the blind goddess
abroad; but we are not the less obedient to her
dictates for all that. 1t is true that we shout,
applaud and give vehement evidence of an ap-
probation when verdict or judicial decision is
in accordance with our feelings; but it
is equally true that when it is opposed
to our convictions we receive it with
silent respect, and retire without insulting
either Judge or jury. The Journalists over the
water are not always SO discreet Their State
and even their ordinary criminal trials afford
abundant proofs that when public and personal
feeling are excited to any unusual pitch their
generation for the majesty Of the law is not of
that implicit nature which their comments on
the Sickles trial would lead people to believe.

Probable French View OF the Right or
sesrch-Csse OF DIR. King, Convicted OF
Poisoning his Wife In Canada.

OUR SPECIAL WASHINGTON DESPATCH.
WASHINGTON, May %, 1859.
The French Minister'S declaration regard to enforcing
the doctrine Of the right Of search has created quite
in diplomatic circles Tho United States never have
denied since their separation from England the right
belgerents TO board neutral merchant vessels upon the
ocean 70 ascertain they have articles contraband of
on board. If Count Sartges made any observation re-
spectng the right Of search resulting from war; is this
right TO which he referred He could have referred
to the right Of secret search in time Of peace time
Of war by nations not belgerents because the French
government have strenuousy commended against such
claim since the quinuple treaty and have frequently and
only recently assured government that they are rs
much opposed to it are and entertain the same
views of the matter.
Application has been made to our government in behalf
OF DR.. King, who was recently convicted at Cobourg
Canada West, Of poisoning his wife, and is awaiting
his execution. It alleged on behalf of King that he
illegally arrested for this crime at Cape Vincent, within
the limits Of the United States without any application
having been made for his surrender under the existing
treaty and that he forcby carried back Canada
II is probable that a demand will be made upon the
British government for redress for this nracton Of the
treaty Smaller matters made ground for grave COM
plant on the part Of the British Minister.

EFFECT OF THE WAR ON RUSSIAN FINANCEs
1t will have been seen by the notice received by
the Vanderbilt that the Russian government,
taking existing political circumstances into con-
s'deration, has relieved all the subscribers in
England to itsthree per cent loan from their en-
gagements- This, at first sight, would indicate
that that government is not 80 much in want OF
money as was reported Our st. Petersburg cor
respondent explains the circumstance by stating
that release, in the event of war, was
one of the conditions of the subscription.
The notification that the Russian government
had also withdrawn the extensive orders for
locomotives which had been sent to England, is
probably consequence Of the retirement of the
loan from the English market.
