of the men is utterly incredible The wit
ness who made these charges, and on whose
they principally rest, may have been
induced by hundred corrupt motives to falsify
or exaggerate the real occurrences of the voyage
The very excitement which his story created and
which he must have foreseen would be aroused
might be sufficient inducement 10 an evil dis
posed person to invent such statements. Even if
he had no antipathies to crafty, nor injuries TO
revenge the desire TO become an object of general
sympathy and notoriety might have moved him
to prefer the accusations in question: against the
mates. 1t is true that the English journals seem
to be satisfied with the truth of the main portion
o. the sailors story and as the examination into
the case was conducted, as it were, in their pres
ence it may be supposed that they are at present
better judges than we are of the weight and credi-
bility of the evidence. But we dissent from this
proposition. The papers of that country, unfor-
tunately, record with avidity, and apparently
without Investigation, whatever dsparaging ac-
counts may come to hand concerning MS and our
Institutions Even The Times interests and mis-
leads its readers continually by gravely publish
ing fables, which no reasonable man could accept
without hesitation, and which no one, who was
not shamefuy ignorant of manners and customs
here, would disgrace himself by repeating. We
all remember the wonderful adventures of
Mr.. ARRowsMTH, on the Georgia railway,
and how astonished the people of that State
were to learn, 0ia England, that the conductors
on their roads were in the habit of stopping the
trains to witness dues between the passengers,
whose dead and wounded bodies they afterwards
conveyed to the nearest stations. 1t is but week
or two since The Times furnished the public with
the latest startling incident from the notebook
Of traveller in America. This veracious inform
ant describes how the train between Newcastle
and Frenchtown ran over carriage and
horse Smashing both," killing one lady,
and badly wounding another. The con-
ductor, we are told, did not stop to see what
was the matter, and in reply to the inter-
rogatories propounded to him at the end of the
journey by this eyewitness of the disaster, so
expressed himself as TO satisfy the latter that the
accident was one of ordinary occurrence and
unworthy of second thought. In view, then,
of the extraordinary nature of the charges brought
against the mates of the Anna, and of the pro-
clivities of the English press we are indsposed
to credit the story as it comes to us. The captain
says the men died of yellow fever-and for the
honor of the American merchant service, we pre-
fer to believe this, until his statement is dsproved
The other officers may have exercised much
harshness and cruelty towards the crew; but i
they are guilty of one-tenth part of the brutal

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY I 1860

The meeting at the Maryland Institute last
night, of the opponents of the BROCK and TRAY
Frs Railway Bill, now pending before the Legis-
lature at Annapolis, was one of the most respect
able in point of numbers and character which has
been held in this city for many years. We COM
mend the resolutions adopted to the serious atten-
ton of the Legislature, as expressing the real
sentiments of our people in relation to the
Passenger Railway franchise. We trust that,
admonished by this and other unmistakeable
indications of public opinion here, the House will
pause before it completes the work so nadvertent-
ly and heedlessly commenced by the Senate, Of

and obnoxious monopoly that has ever existed

pondence between our Minister to China, Mr..

dents at Shanghai on the eve of the departure of
the former for Canton to investigate the Custom
House regulations of the Chinese authorities, or
rather, of the English Inspectors. 1t is exceed
ingly creditable TO both parties-to Mr.. WARD as
embodying the frank and unsolicited testimony
of his countrymen to the fidelity and ability with
which he has discharged his ministerial duties,
and to the merchants as evincing on their part
perfect appreciation of the difficulties by which
Mr.. WARD was surrounded, and which have
made his position at times one of exceeding

fEhR1 lNSURGEhI L.
CHARLEsTowN, Feb. 4.-The trial of Andrew
Stephens, charged with treason, murder and con
spiracy, was concluded day.
No new evidence was adduced.
The speeches of the counsel were mostly of a DO
ltica character, discussing the present position of
the question between the North and the South
The Commonwealth made proposition to submit
the case without argument, but-it was declined by
the counsel for the defence, who desired to be heard
or.his client.
denounced as falsehood and libel, the assertion
of Brown that he to receive aid from the Ia
boring classes at Harpers Ferry. He claimed that
they were true to the Constitution and State o.
Virginia. and referred to their action in assisting
to quell the INVASION proof of their fidelity
He concluded with an earnest appeal to the Jury to
vindicare the law, styling the prisoner as a blood
thirsty villain and wretch, and worse than his
master, John Brown.
Mr.. Sennott, for the defence, made an able and
eloquent speech, going into detailed narrative OF
the rise and progress of the Republican party, and
closing with earnest appeal to the jury to spare
the life of the prisoner.
Mr.. Andrew Hunter closed on the part of the
Commonwealth. He replied to the arguments OF
the counsel for the defence with telling effect He
had no confidence in the Union meetings which
have been held in the North. He believed that
this invasion of John Brown had been benefit to
the South, as it had shown them the position in
which they were placed. He referred to Mr.. Hick-
mans boast of the eighteen millions of free men OF
the North, and declared that the South was pre-
pared Tor any emergency.
The case was submitted to the jury at four O'Clock
this Saturday afternoon. They retired, and af-
ter fifteen minutes absence returned with verdict
of guilty on all the counts of the indictment
The prisoner received the verdict with the most
perfect indifference, and even appeared to smile at
the announcement.
FRAUDS IN CoAL.-The New York Councils are
trying to regulate the sale of COAL so as to prevent
short weight in the delivery to consumers. The
plan is to have public weighers. The best public
weigher is the selfweighng scale attached to each
cart Where this last plan has been tried it has
answered admirably. There sn0 plan to eradicate
an evil to which objection cannot be raised by those
interested in preventing change; but the cart
with its scale is the faires plan to the purchaser
perfectly practicable.

DRAFTED restaurant in New York city, has been obliged

The English papers furnish us with hideous
accounts OF Il series of murders said to have
been committed by the mates of the Ameri-
can bark ARna which arrived lately at Cowes.
They reported TO have killed six of the
crew, all negroes, by inficting upon them
barbarities which are almost too sickeninc
for publication. In fact the crueles these men
are charged with having perpetrated, are so hor-
rlbe as to tax credulitv to the utmost, and
we are therefore rather inclined to the belief that
the story win be found to be mainly desti-
tute of foundation. The chief witness against the
mates is negro, and while the circumstances nm
der which he testified render his evidence some
what suspicious, the minor incidents of his nara
tive are so improbable as 10 justify us in doubling
the whole statement. 1t is not intmated that The
Captain was accessory to the alleged crimes, but
neither does ii appear that he inerered to prevent
them, nor that any appeal was made 10 him to do
so. That the ships officers should have been per-
mtted 10 murder the crew, in detail, day after
day, and in the wanton and barbarous modes that
sayagcs or manacs alone could resort to, without
the slightest remonstrance on the part of the Cap
tain, or any selEdefensive action on that
