EXECUTION or THE PIRATE Hicks on BrpLoEs
IsIASD.-The pirate Hicks is 10 be hung ON
Friday next on Bedloe's Island, and |. i rumor-
ed thst several steamboat proprietors are. ar
ranging for trips down the harbor, for the p,rs-
pose Of gratifying the morbid curiosity of that
portion Of the community who delight in the re-
vtlting spectacle OF public execution. We
sincerely trust that this intention will not be
carried out We hope that the people of New
York will conduct themselves on this occasion
with the propriety and decorim which charao-
terised them on the recent wish of the Jananea.
and thus respond to the carpings Of the provin-
cal press, which is perpetually mjsrepresenting
and exsggeraiing tie immortality of the md
tropolis, by showing that finer instincts and
better tastes prevail In the metropolitan COM
munity than among the provincial and rural
populations. We had a forcible and painf,l
example OF the bad taste and utter jndecencv

rences which took place In the village Of pe,v;.
dere, New Jersey. on Friday last, at the execu.
ton OF The Rev. Jacob Harden. No such exhss
billion as that was ever made among che most
vicious community OF our large cities. and Il
ought to silence forever the envious com.
ments Of The country press upon metropolitan
morals and city crimes. While such beans exist
IN their own eyes. they might well leave the
notes In their neighbors alone.
Hitherto public executions in this ci have
been conducted with solemni,y and deceucv
betting the circumstances No unseemly dis
play ot feeling nor unusual curiosiiy has been
manifested, and we trust that the execution TO
take place in the bay on Friday rcxt viii form

The novelty OF the location appointed as the
scene OF this mournful spectacle, and the cir
cums'ancee connected with il in relation to the
execution q other criminals there many years
ago, may isveet this affair with more interest
than otherwise; but we rely upon the good
sense and taste of The people in repressing any
undue manifestation Of that morbid curiosity
which attends affairs Of this kind. Let the vic

The ADVENT OF THE PRINCE OF WALES
1t will be seen by our despatch from Washing
ton that Lord Lyons has officially advised the
President that the Prince of Wales will pro-
coed directly from Canada to that city.
This is no doubt merely to break the ice, and
enable him to come to New York, which is the
real place that the Prince wishes to visit on this
continent, and which his mother is very desir-
GUS he should see; and we will give him here
such reception as will leave far in the shade
everything the provincials can do for him. He
will leave England on the 18th of
July, accompanied by large retinue, on
board either the steam frigate Hero, ninety-one
guns, or the screw steamship st. George, twenty
guns, and sail direct to ST. Johns, Newfound-
land where he will be met by Populations from
the municipal authorities Of the chief cities in
Canada and Nova Scotia. The feet will next
proceed to Halifax, where the programme of
his tour through Upper and Lower Canada will
be arranged.
We see that the Canadian government has
voted the sum of 100000 to be spent in his re-
ception. Among the high officers of State ac-
companying him will be the Duke of Newcastle,
Colonial Secretary and the Earl Of st. Ger
mans, Lord Steward of the Queens Household.
All sorts of preparations are being actively
made over the whole of Canada in antcipa-
ton of his coming. Even in the remotest vii
lagos, where the scion of royalty is never likely
to set his foot tongues and hands are busy
about him. and there is no doubt the occasion
of his visit will be one vast jubilee from St.
Johns to Toronto, and from that down to Que
bee and Montreal.
The Clifton House, we believe, will be his
quarters at Niagara; and there, while, on the
Canadian shore, he listens to the roar of the
grandest cataract in the world he will see, only
few yards removed from him, the soil which,
in his grandfather's day, was British, and will
thus have fit opportunity for reflection both
upon the mighty handiwork of nature on the
one side, and that Of free people on the other,
who are sprung from the same parent stock as
himself.
The United States will give him such recep.
ton as never prince had in the New World. and
which will not fail, both now and hereafter, to
cement that friendship which ought always to
subsist between the English and Americans.
who are allied, not only by ties of interest, but
by an affinity of race and language. These last
are natural bonds, which can never be entirely
broken; and we hope the day may never come
when they will be found weaker than We find
them now.

The MILITIA FINE NCIsANCE.-A snort time ago
New York Grand Jury presented as null
sance the system by which persons placed on
the roll of ununiformed militia are fined for nom
attendance. The fact of the fine or commute
ton money being only seventy-6ve cents per an
mum shows how little value is attached to the
attendance, and that the whole system is
mockery and a sham. Every man, no matter
how poor, if he can command seventy-fve
cents, will prefer to pay it rather than lose his
time and make himself ridiculous by appearing
among the awkward squad, who are seldom or
never armed with anything better than broom
handles. The attendance of so few at the
annual parades out of all who are bound to at
tend is plain proof of the ineficiency of the
law. If the attendance is desirable or of any
Importance to the State, the fine for absence
ought to be commensurate-say ten or twenty
dollars, or even fifty or hundred dollars. But
how the annual attendance of non military citi-
zens at parade, which at best is only farce,
can ever make soldiers Of them, or in any way
serve the State we are at loss to see. Besides,
there will always be sufficient number of men
uniformed companies, so that any compulsory
law is entirely unnecessary. As the case now
stands, the fines are levied in a way that
inHicts hardship on some of our citizens, and
the State derives no visible benefit
from the proceeds. The fines exacted in this
city amount to some eleven thousand dollars
per annum, and of these we understand no re-
cord is kept. What becomes of the money it is
difficult to say. If the seventy-6 cents COM
mutation money is not paid within a certain
time, fine of three dollars is imposed, and a
warrant issued for its recovery, which authorizes
the officer to take even the delinquent's clothes,
the exemption law in this case being inopera-
tive. In many cases the person against whom
the warrant is issued is not liable for military
duty at all; he is either under or above the
age, or he is not citizen, or he is fireman, Or
appointed to do jury duty. He may be from
home, and this Judgment may be taken out
against him in his absence. 1t is only neces-
sary to serve with notice the house at which
he is supposed to reside. If he be at
home, he must lose his time by attendance
before military courts to prove that he is
legally exempt from the duty and fine sought to
be imposed upon him. A case occurred few
days ago in this city, in which a defendants
goods were taken by the officer and placed on a
cart, and when the officer went into other
houses to levy other fines, the party took
back his property; whereupon prosecution
was commenced against him for larceny, and he
was brought before q police magistrate. The
whole community are crying out against abuses
like this. The system is therefore, a nuisance
which ought to be abated

THE BREAK Up or THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
In the general break up of the democratic party,
1t Is curious problem TO watch the drifting OF
the several fragments OF the old party organiza-

the state Of things among the politicians is the
perplexity that attends the provincial political
newspapers. Most OF them are published by

SENATOR GwIS's QUARREL WITH THE PREsI-
DENT.-SOme days since an alteration, repre-
sented by Washington letter writer's as being
serious and angry one, took place between the
President and Senator Gwin. of California
when, it is stated, the latter turned his back on
the White House, vowing vengeance, in po-
litical sense, on Mr.. Buchanan. The origin of
the difficulty has been stated in a variety of
ways, but We believe that none of the specula-
tons in the matter were correct The following
will probably be found to be the real facts in
the case. Senator Gwin, after Congress had ad-
journed, without making provision for the ocean
mail service to San Francisco, waited upon
Postmaster General Holt, and requested him to
make contract with Commodore Vanderbilt
for carrying the mails in his steamships. Mr..
Holt declined doing so, on the ground that he
had no authority to make any such contract
According to our Washington despatch of yes
terday, Gwin and two other Senators reminded
Holt that one of the conditions of defeating
Senator Hale's bill providing for daily over
land mail was that the mails should be sent by
steamships; but Holt, if there had been any
such arrangement made, declined to carry il out.
After some angry discussion on the subject,
Senator Gwin appealed from the Postmaster
General to the President, but there he met
with similar response. The law vested no
discretion in the Executive Department. The
only power that the Postmaster General or
President could exercise on the subject was to
allow the mails to be carried for the amount of
hostages, and that remuneration was indignant
ly rejected by Vanderbilt and his associates.
This refusal of the President to violate the law,
at the request of Senator, was the sole cause
of Mr.. OWNS animosity.
1t may be, too, that in the course Of the in
terviews with the President and the Postmaster
General, both those functionaries may have al
luded to the fact that it was through the
culpable remissness of the body of which Mr..
Gwin was member that no provision was
made for the transportation of the California
mail by the isthmus route, and that if the Sc
nate, instead of spending months of the session
in manufacturing platform on which the de-
mocratic party was to be broken up at Charles
ton and Baltimore, had attended to the practi-
cal business of legislation, neither that nor
other important measures might have been neg
lected The truth is, that the Senate showed
itself to be, during the last session, devoid of
the chief elements Of a deliberatve and legis-
lative body, abandoning itself altogether to the
unseemly practices Of political convention.
1t is not to construct political platforms nor to
make Presidents, that Congress is convened an-
nually, but to attend to the general Legislation
of the country; and when Mr.. Buchanan very
properly declined to outstep the limits of his
discretion, even at the request of a Senator,
he administered a merited rebuke to the Senate
and took position in which all good citizens
will sustain him.
