The steamer Canadian, with one days later

27th ult., passed Father Point yesterday. The
efforts made at newfoundland to restore the
Atlantic Telegraph Gable have failed-the Gable
breaking as it was hauled in. The outer coating
of iron-wire was found to be eaten away, but the
gutta-percha and the copper wire were perfectly
sound Military preparations for the Syrian ex-
petition are going On in France with activity, and
it is stated at $4,000 men, beside artillery ard
cavalry. The latest dispatches from Paris
say that convention had been signed by the
ambassadors of the Great Powers, including
Spain, which determines the conditions and propo-
sitiODs OF each Power to the intervention. The
Porte had given It's acquiescence. The expedition
AIRY force was to be embarked at once Nothing au-
thentic is known of the movements Of Garibaldi,
though the correspondent of The London Times
says it is surmised that he has reached the main
land and no one would b. surprised to learn that
he had got as far as Naples without striking q
blow, and that the ROyelist Army had fraternIzed
with bis volunteers. The Neapolitan Government
had asked the mediation OF Great Britain to stop

Garbaldi refused then the forces of France and En-

Government had refused to accede to the PROPOSE

Pope has refused to adopt any Of the measures rec
commended by the French ambassador, and
declares that if they are forced upon him, ne

that Garibaldi would suddenly appear on the Papal

of July. They contain nothing new but affairs

THE nLACKBIRD FLEET.

There ia only one branch Of commerce which
seems not to participate in the general revival Oh
trade, at this moment, in this port, to that degree
which was to be expected. The foreign slave
trade has not been so brisk for the last week or
two as there was reason to suppose 1t would De-
iudppp from the list of cearances for the first SIX
months of the year, which we published not long
since. Not that it is dead by any means Not
long since, the bark Louisa cleared for st. Jago,
which place, or its neighbOrhOOd, she may visit
via Africa, with cargo of negroes; and there is
loading now-with our respects to Marshal Ryn.
ders-at Pier No, as, East River, ship called the
Ben Morgan or some similar name, which is un-
dt6btedly intended for the slayetrade. 1t is pre-
tended that she is bound to Cape Town, and that
her errand is to act as a tender to whalcrs But
she is taking on board cargo such as best finds
market at the mouth of the Congo, in exchange for
slaves; and such, undoubtedly, is her destina-
ton.
ANY slackness in trade here is certainly not
owing to any want of demand elsewhere. The
brig William r. Kirby, whose clearance at this
port in January We announced in the list just re-.
ferred to, arrived at Key West on the Oath ult in
possession of a prize crew from the United States
chip Crusader, having been picked up at sea aban-
doned Of course, her voyage had been accom-
plished and she is supposed to have landed In Cuba
300 negroes. nybody was welcome to her after
that, as she theL ceforward could be only
dangerous possession to the owners. On the goth
of June, an American bark was burned not far
from Trinidad, Cuba after having landed a cargo
of $50 Africans all of whom were publicly sold in
the streets of Trinidad for the round sum of $3.50
each. We shall soon hear, no doubt, of others OF
the New York feet landing their cargoes.
Either they have grown more quiet or less
enterprisng of late in this city, in getting off these
vessels. The probability is that their proceedings
have attracted more attention than is agreeable,
and they are disposed for time to try their ener-
pes elsewhere We call the attention of the
proper officers in Boston, New Bedford, and New.
London to this matter. If are not misiDformed,
they will find vessels fitting out, possibly at this
moment in those ports on whaling voyages, with
car, oes and stores, such as honest whaler ever
puts below matches. And they will find that no
merchant in good and regular standing, has any
thing to do with these vessels They are meant for
slavers, and unless stopped will land their cargoes
of miserable wretches in Cuba before six months
are over.

SHARING THE RE RESPONSIBILITY.

Before Messrs. Smith, Brady, Starr, and Owens
push tier enormous japanese swindle through the
other branch of the Common Council, let them re-
ectupon the vast disproportion of responsibility ac-
coIdng to the ratio of taxation, between themselves
and their Democratic feow-conspiratOrs. Fol in-
lance: Boole, the Magog of the ring, comes from
district assessed not quite $40, 600, OO0 counting
both real and personal estate, while Henry Smiths
constituency in the First Second, and Third Wards,
and parts of the Fourth and Sixth, figure up Sl67,
GOO 600, giving their representative seventeen times
as much TO answer for to the taxpayers
as in BODIES case. Brady, Starr, and
Owens, are the representatives of more
than SIlO, COO, 900, making for these four rene
gade Republicans $277 600, 900, out of total
$685., 600 900 Tor the whole city, non resident taxes
excluded. So it appears that the false four repre-
sent considerably more than the thirteen other
members, and upon strictly pecuniary judgment
are in that proportion the more guilty. But there
were four others who refused to vote for the out
rage and they represent S75 1000 600 in the Asses
sore books leaving only about Sl03, OOO, 900 for
the Democratic side of the swindle. Does Henry
Smith imagine that the great property. holders OF
bis district, who will have to pay almost one third
of the Japanese bill, going to forget or forgive
his vote Does George Starr expect that his con
itituents the honest hard working mechanics ofthe
Ninth, and the deeply interested merchants of
the Fifteenth will easily overlook his impudent and
hypocritical villainy7 Brady and himself have
to answer for 75, 600 900 on the tax rolls of their
three Wards. Owens represents the Twenty first
Ward, which is assessed over $4,000, 600. He
managed to get in by minority of the entire vote
in December, 1857; but at the last election his
former vote fell of by several hundreds, in conse-
quence of his course upon Mayor Tiemanns veto
of the Wards Island purchase; still, among four
candidates he managed to keep his seat, and is
now showing his gratitude by robbing the City
Treasury Dare these four men, thus legtimateIy
bearing half the responsibility of our enormous city
expenses, persist in their rascality
We do not care to name political parties in this
busincss but we cannot help feeling chagrn at the
fact that the blacklist among these very black
sheep have had some show of right to call them
selves Republicans. They are so no longer. The
Republican party cannot afford to share with
Tammany and Mozart Hall the odium of making
the Council Chamber den of thieves.

In general way, The Boston Courier caution,
the people against every party that has what Il
calls, with it's usual felci,cus phraseoloey. .
" swiDdliDg attachment that is 10 say, q corrupt
clique who aim to manage public affairs for their
own base purposes. owe see no remedy, - says
The Courier, 50 for honest men but to desert the
" dishonest camp, take the open field, and vote
" everywhere for the best men,"
This is good advice, ard apples above al
to the trading politicians who manage the 'O-called
Union party. If there is "swindling attach
" ment anywhere, it is composed of the old party
hacks in New.York, and other States, who pretend
to be friends Of Bell and Everett only to sell them
out to Douglas or to Breckenridge, as they can
make the best bargain for themselves. With re-.
gard to these fellows, The Courier might well ask
whether those who follow the lead (if, indeed, any
body does follow tbem) "yote in accordance with
" the dictates of their own consciences or in ac-

Judge Belts yesterday raised some rather novel
,nts in the habeas corpus of Haight, who was
charged with perjury, in swearing that his property
upon which he proposed to give bail for the APP
pearance of the slave.trader Da Costa, was less
incumbered than it really proved to be. During
all the controversy it nowhere appeared that the
accused had stated, or that the question had been
put to him, how much bail he would give in the
case. The amount required was 5000; bat it
did not appear that the accused had been so in
formed, nor that he had stated whether he was
prepared to give $1,000 or $4,000. As to that,
there is no doubt that Haight knew that he was to
be bound in $4,000. But the principal point raised
by the Judge was that person offering bail, and
swearing falsely to the value of his property upon
preliminary examination rs to his competency,
did not commit perjury. 1t is the custom, though
it is not authorized by any rule of Court, nor by
statute, to hold preliminary examinations under
oath of persons offering bail, touching their compe-
tency; but he held that unless il could be shown
that the person 80 examined expressly assented to
such examination under oath, his false swearing
would not subject him to punishment for perjury.

How does Mr.. George Starr, Alderman, feel in
view of the shame and disgrace he has brought
upon himself in this Japanese conspiracy? He
had the reputation of an honest man before; now
he has the reputation of peculating, thieving
Alderman, and deeper stigma we cannot con
ceive. We dwell particularly on Mr. Stars case,
because we feel ourselves in a greater degree re-
sponsbe for his election than for that of any other
of the scamps; and accordingly, we hold him up to
public scorn with something more of sense of
duty done. We believe, too, that this Japanese
enterprise is not his first exploit. We shall pub
lish in day or two, the record of his official ca
reer; and we think it will show that he had been
deep in plumber before the Japanese embassy came
near our shores. Meanwhile We call attention 10

George Law and Gustavus A. Conover yester-
day got an injunction from Judge Belts, restrain
ing the United States from levyng upon their
property to satisfy the $75 600 suretes which they
entered into for Isaac V. Fowler. They have,
however, gone through the formality of giving
5000 coo bonds to abide the result of the trial Of
the allegation that the Government was aware that
Fowler was defauiter bcfo they became his
bondsmen. There is little doubt of this fact, nor
is there any reason to expect that any part of the
sum fcbed from the POST Office funds by Fowler
Will ever be replaced either BY the principal or his
sure!ies. Aware of the sOuudness of their objec-
ton, or impelled by other reasons, it is doubtful if
toe United States authorities will ever try the
isrue raised, aud Messrs, Law and COnOver are
therefore as secure Of their dollars as ever they
were.

We ye,terday laid before our readers letter
from the Hon John Bell to Mr.. Thomas Ii. Watts
of Montgomery, Ala, in reply to an inquiry as to
the views of the distinguished candidate of the
Union party concerning the great questions now
at issue before the country. In that letter, Mr.
Bell refers his correspondent to collection Of
extracts from his speeches and letters, with refer
ences to his votes, lately published by the Central
Union Committee of Tennessee. Mr.. Watts hav.
The Montgomery Post the following summary Of
the views set forth therein:
"MI Bell thus distinctly in my judgment the fol-
lowing propositions;
81 distinct regulation of Wilmot Provisoism.
80 distinct reputation Of squatter sovereignty long
o. 1913.
81" distinct announcement that the Territories the
mon property the States composing the Union and that the
citizens each State have the right Into such Territories
with their property of every description, and while there to
have protection to property and persons.
81 That Slavery, 1t exists among US, Is civly morally
regousy rights sanctioned by the Constitution OF the
United States by the Bible and by the practice Of men in all
ages and that 1t ought to be extended.
The record Of M Bell running through period Of more
than quarter of century gives the strongest assurance Of his
fidelity the institutions OF the South the land OF his birth
and Of the Constitution and Union of fathers
These opinions Of Mr. Bell lOas entertained and acted
In public le afford Of the South stronger guaranty
against wrong than the sudden Of eleventh hour
converts"
1t is not necessary for us to say that most of
the opinions here attributed to Mr. Bell seem to us
to De pernicious, nor that, in our Judgment their
incorporation into the permanent policy OF the
country would tend to nothing but the perpetual
ton of strife and dscord. Nor have We hitherto
understood Mr.. Bell as holding PrO.Slavery views
of so extreme q character; though we have now
become aware that such views are set forth in
various passages in his published opinions.
But the points to which we now desire to call
attention, are: |. That Mr. Bell above all holds
position of hostility to the Squatter Sovereignty of
Mr. Douglas; 9. That he is in favor of Terrific
al Slave Code; and 3. That he gives no C mnten-
apce to the plan of some of his pretended friends
who propose to support him by voting for bis Bit
tefest antagonists. For that sort of politics We
venture to cay no word of appreciation will ever
come from the lips of JOHN BELL.

Upon these and minor considerations the court
discharged the accused.
We have before remarked that in the case of Da
Costa extraordinary tenderness has been shown.
Five bOndsm 81 has he offered; two Of them wholly
without authority, the other three men of straw.
HaiQht, one Of these bOndsmen, was clearly shown
to have sworn that his property was far less in
numbered than it appeared upon an Investigation
ordered by District. Attorney Roosevelt. What is
the inference1 That be intended to represent
himself az competent to give bail when he was not.
Six years ago, Da Costa then in custody for slav-
ing, was released on bail; he fled the city, and his
bondsmen proved to be worthless. The District
Attorney this time determined to make sure of his
man. He is told for his pains that 4" all the pro-
ceedings in the matter of the bail the Da Costa
I" case appear to have been marked with unusual
" acrimOny on both sides" and that Haight, who
has sworn falsely with intent to deceive, if not to
conhive at the escape of prisoner charged with
grave ofense, has nat done anything wrong, and
may walk out of Court. Judge Belts, who has
been noted for his liberal construction of the law
as regards the slave. trade, so much so that it is
next TO impos,ib le to convict under his rulings,
appears now to have stepped in in behalf OF the
straw bail which gentlemen taken In the ebony
trade were wont to fall back upon, since the Dis
trict-Attorney seems determined to knock that
Drop from under them. 1t is announced that Da
Costa is about to offer another bondsman; and,
under this decision, we have no doubt he will sue
Gee in ehectng bis escape sooner or later.
