OPENING OF THE CANAIs.-There has been no
announcement as yet of the period when the
State Canals will open. We see that the
Welland Canal opens to-day; and in the
course of the next few weeks it will send off
large amount of Western produce to Europe.
Seven or ten days start, at the present season,
is, for canal navigation, very important mat
ter, and tells largely on the tolls. We have re-
ceived a letter from correspondent, inquiring
whether the influence of the Central Railroad
Board has not had something to do with delay
ing the opening of the State canals. The
writer must have q curious idea of
the honesty of the Canal Commissioners
to put such question. And yet we should
not be surprised if many others labored under
the same impression is so difficult to account
for the motives which govern public officials
in arrangements in which rival interests are
involved

SUMNER TRAVEL TO EUR0PE.-From present
indications it would seem as If there would be
an unusually large migration Of Americans to
Europe this season. Seven steamers from here
and one from Portland left for European ports
last week. all crowded with passengers. One
noticeable fact is the large number of
Storage passengers which several of these
vessels have taken out The great ma
jority of these are probably emigrants who
have been doing pretty well here, and
who return to the old country either to
pay short visit to their friends, or to settle
down in their native places on the savings
which they have accumulated. Amongst the
regular pleasure tourists, the general tendency
this year, with those who can afford it, is in fa-
vor of transatlantic travel. The prospect of q
peaceful settlement of affairs on the Continent
will induce many to take this trip who last
year were deferred from it by the warlike ap-
pearance of things. To counterbalance this
eflux of fashionables and people of leisure,
we shall be inundated with the crowds of cock
neys and lunkeys who will come in the train

"royal progress" without large following, so

Saazers' Rights snA che Hospital Contract
System In Havana.

Seazors' Rights snA che Hospital Contract
System In Havana.
We have received number Of oommunioa-
tons and circulars complaining of the neglect
and evils that attend our seamen in the
harbor of Havana, arising from the hospital
contract system practised in that port
fa tenth part Of what has been stated to us
be true, the matter ia one that calls for the
early attention of the government, and the ad-
ninistration should at once instruct our Con.
sui, General Helm, to lay the evil before the
Captain General Of Cuba, with request that
be will take measures to put a stop to it
During the sickly season the yellow fever of
Havana is a terrible enemy to our sailors, and
one would suppose that the natural chances Of
recovery would be quite sufficient risk for them
to run, without the addition of the under
takers interest thereto, in such way as to
establish premium for the death of the pa
tent Though this may not be tho object It
seems to be the practical result of the present
hospital contract system for seamen praotised
in Havana.
The system of hospital contract in practice
there assumes to operate as sort of mutual
insurance against the expenses Of sickness,
when, in fact it does not subserve the purposes
of just economy. On the arrival of every
vessel the captain is beset by the hospital
runners, who offer to contract for hospital at
tendance on the captain and crew during the
time the vessel lies in port, at the Communication
rate of four or six dollars per head, in which is
included bed, diet, medicine, nurse, physician,
and all. If there is no sickness, this is oil profit
to the hospital; but during the sickly season the
expenses of the establishment have to be met
in another way. The contract price covers the
expense of treatment, but it does not include
the interment, and, for the burial of the corpse
in the private cemetery of the hospital twenty
five dollars and half more are charged to, and
must be paid by, the ship. The operation of the
business will be best understood by one of the
cases which have been reported to us. The
brig E. arrived at Havana, with a crew of
seven persons, all told, during the sickly sea-
son, and contracted for hospital attendance at
the communication price of six dollars head.
She remained in port over two months, and all
of the crew were taken with the fever except
the captain and cook. They wore taken to tho
hospital with the following results

GAN HICKS AND JACKALOw BE CONVICTED OF
MURDER!-The arrest of the alleged pirates,
Hicks and Jackalow, has created q most pro-
found sensation In the community, and much
speculation has been excited by the very sin
gular circumstance, that although there is every
reason to believe that five persons have been
murdered, not one of the bodies has been
found. II has been held as sound theory at
common law, that there can be no conviction
for murder unless sufficient portion of the re-
mains of the victim shall be found and duly
identified This is what is called, legally, the
body of the crime, and is taken, like many Of
our common law maxims, from the Roman
Gods. There can be no question as to the
general validity of this maxim; but it will not
answer to apply itliterally. The exception which
will most readily occur to the mind is that of
murder on the high seas where there might ex-
ist indisputable proof that murder had been
committed, and yet the recovery of the body
be matter of impossibility. In all such cases
the United States Judges have advised the jury
that the finding of the body is not indispensa-
BILE. In the cases Of Hicks and Jaokalow,
the crime, if any, was committed, tech.
nically, on the high seas, and the United
States has jurisdiction. In order to
convict them, or either of them, of murder,
there must be, if the bodies are not found,
some clear and irresistible proof that the per
sons on board the vessels are actually dead.
There is not such proof now. The circum-
stances are strongly against both the arrested
parties, but there is as yet no such evidence as
is required to convict in a capital case.
As to the point which has been raised that,
according to law, there could be no conviction
for murder in any case unless the body was
found, we have only to say that in all criminal
cases the jury, being the judges of the law and
the fact, might convict upon secondary evi.
dence which would prove, first, that murder
was really committed; second, that the priso-
ner at the bar did it, and third, that the dead
body was absolutely seen by a credible wit
ness. That such case might happen is not
impossible on land, and very probable on the
high seas.
