Something More About brown.

CHARLBsTowN, October &c.
Brown has made no confession, but on the
contrary says that he has full confidence in
the goodness of God, and that he is confident
He will rescue him from the perils that sur
round him. He says that he has had rifles
aimed at him, knives at his throat, and his
life in as great peril as it now is, but that
God has always been at his side. He knows
that God is with him, and fears nothing.
Alexander r. BOteler, member of Congress
elect from this District, has collected five
thousand one hundred letters from the citi-
zens residing in the neighborhood of Browns
house, who searched it before the arrival of
the marines. Letters are also in possession
Of Andrew Hunter, who has also number
of letters obtained from the house by the
marines and other parties. Among them is
a roll Of conspirators, containing forty seven
signatures; also receipt from Horace Gree
ley for letters, &C., received from Brown, and
an accurately traced map from Chambers
burg to Browns house; also, copy of let
ter from Brown, stating that the arrival OF
too many men at once would excite suspicion,
and that they, should arrive singly; also q
letter signed Merriam" stating that if
$4,000 was wanted, &c. s." was good for
one fifth. Brown tells them to let women
write letters, not the men. There is also a
letter from j. 2, Cook, stating that the Mary
land election was about to come off; the peo-
pie will become excited, and we will get
some of the candidates to join our side.

The Great Eastern.

New YORK, October 26.
The Times contains very thorough acien-
tifc description of the trial trip of the Great
Eastern, from special correspondent, whom
the Timas describes as an American engineer,
who has taken professional interest In the
matter. .F. I'D. .r....
The general conclusion the writer seems TO
have attained Is that while the expectations OF
the public, unduly wrought up by incompetent
authorities, are disappointed, those of the pro.
jectors are abundanty verified. Thus, while
the vessel can not be advantageously employed
for mere trans Atlantic service, it is perfectly
adapted to the long Australian voyage for
which it was designed. 1t cannot attain o
speed Of thirty miles an hour, but 1t can ac-
oonplish a rate Of fifteen milss. 1t can not
make trip from Liverpool TO New York in
five days, but it can in ten. 1t does not
wholly obviate the discomforts of O sea voyage;
1t does not 60 through the waves instead Of
over them, but does pitch and roll so slightly
as to cause little serious distress to the passen-
gers. Other points Of interest arc developed
by the trial the security Of the vessel is i'm
perfect; the bulkheads are neither iro.tighl
nor water-tght; important valves are not az
they should be, automatic the apparatus fol
super heating steam seems only to be available
at the cost of great peril; the machinery il
very far from having that completeness and
that proportion people have been led to antici.
pate the boilers are inadequate to furnish the
power required by the engines there is a want
Of harmony iu the working Of the screw and
side wheel engines, and the donkey engines
are by no means as eerviceable as certain
American inventions Of the same kind, and
the machinery for raising and handling the
anchors is likewise of an Indifferent vs'ue. On
tho other hand, the vessel Is under perfect con
troll Of the helm, with no creator amount oil
force than is required by a fret. class frigate
The consumption Of coal is moderate, and the
engines work with none Of the stiffness Of new
machinery. The opinion formed by the writer
is thus, upon the whole, not unfavorable to ita
claims. Indeed, he does not hesltate to pro-
nonnce it q SUCCESS. The same correspondent
also gives the gratifying intelligence that the

the prisoner, or any other source, it was their
position that had been impsrilod and jeopar
dised as they suppose by enemies.
Mr.. Harding concdrred in the objection Of
Mr.. Hunter, on the groupd of dangerin delay,
also because Brown was the leader Of the in
surrectiop, and his trial aught to be proceeded
with on account Of the advantage thereby
accruing on the trial of the others.
Mr.. Green remarked that he had enjoyed 40
opportunity for consulting with the prisoner or
prep paring a defense. The letters for Northern
counsel had been sent off but sufficient time
had not been afforded to receive answers.
Under the circumstances he throught q short
delay desirable. T.. +Hos a4s4l sd
Mr.. Bolts added, that at present the excite
ment was so great as perhaps to deter northern
counsel from coming, but now that 1t had beon
promised that the prisoners were to have fair
and impartial trial, he presumed, they would
come and take part in the case.
The Court stated that if physical inability
was shown, areasonable delay must be granted.
As to tho expectation of other counsel that did
not constitute sufficient cause for delay, as
there was no certainty about them coming.
Under the circumstances in which the prisoners
were situated, it was natural that they should
seek delay. The brief period remained before
the close of the term of tho Court, rendered It
necessary to proceed as expeditions as was
practicable, and to be cautious about granting
delays, he would request the physician who
had attended Brown, to testify as to his con-

Examination Of a supposed Insurgent.

CARLISLE, PENN, October 2B.
The man under arrest on suspicion of being
concerned in the Harper's Ferry insurrection,
was this afternoon brought before Judge Gra-
ham on writ of habeas corpus. Judge
Watts presented warrant from the Governor
of Pennsylvania, upon requisition of the
Governor Of Virginia, for the delivery Of a
fugative from justice named Albert Hazlett.
There was no positive. evidence to identify the
prisoner, as the person named in the acqusi-
ton, bat it was proved that the pistols in his
possession when arrested, were Of the same
manufacture as those used by the insurgents,
and that his. dress and appearance cor
responded with the description given by a
