The Quebec Chronicle says the Hon. JOIN {. WARD
late American Minister to China, was in that city
recently, and has gone to England. The Chronicle
says:
It is conjectured here that Mr. Ward took letters
Of narque with him to be given to PriVateers to
cruise IN China waters if not TO look after the Cal
IfOrnia treasure ships on the Pacific side Of the
Isthaus. Numbers of other SOutherners have
come and gone this summer by our steamers ard
many more have been staying IN Toronto, Montreal.
and even here. The United States passport system
is not only nuisance, but very useless one.
The Boston Transcript publishes the following
statement:
A letter from influential citizen Of Halifax Nova
Scotia, dated the 18th It states that Alfred Pills
bury, ex-Ameriean Consul at that port, is now
playing 3 high game there as agent of the
Southern COnfedsrerscy. He is purchasing pow
der, percussion caps. medicines and other sup
Plies for the rebels, with money furnished by them.
The Argyle, which sailed from Halifax short time
ago, had an assorted cargo worth 500 900, which
Mr.. Pilsbury 4" engineered" On the 18th instant,
Mr.. Pillsbury purchased an old vessel without a
maze, and st the last dates putting hundred
barrels Of powder on board packed in drums Of
cod fish. The cargo was collected at PillsbErys
place of business, which is secluded from close OBJ
servatior. Most Of the purchases have been taken
thither under the cover Of night. The vessel it 70
thought, will be beached the Southern coast and
the cargo secured, which will be great prizs in

Of the United States in Halifax are in consultation
with our official there, to see If PillsbuFy cannot
be brought to justice.

If the news be correct that the Yankee Chinese
have landed in surf boats rear Port Royal in South
Carolina for the purpose Of getting into Charleston
by the back door, then these Hessisns will have
to adopt different mode of retreating from that
which they have so persistently pu-s sued at Bull
Run, Big Bethel, Springfield and Vienna They
cannot find very plain track upon which to repeat
the "races." The sea shore will present an
efectual barrier TO their progress backward
They will be compelled to have their ships drawn
up in line, along the coast ready to receive the fu-
gltives, when they begin to move backwards, which
they will certainly do as soon as the Confederate
army presses them closely; thus reversing the pol
icy of CORTEz in burning his ships on the coast,
before his advance towards the Halls of the Mon

Conflict Between the Judicial and IEIII-

Conflict between the Judicial and MILF
tarY Authorities at Warrington.
We mentioned some days ago that q conflict had
arisen between the judicial and military authori-
ties at Washington and that Judge kERRICK, one Of
the Judges Of the District Court had been arrested
for issuing writ Of habeGs corpus The result OF
the case has been the return Of the writ uuserved
with the distinct declaration from the United States
Marshal that he "had been ordered by the Presi-
dent not to serve it." A Washington dispatch
gives the following proceedings of the Court in this
matter:
10 the Circuit Court this morning the Judges
asked the clerk if there had been any return to the
Wri issued against General Porter, the Provost
Marshal
The clerk answered, There is none"
District Attorney Darlington, in behalf Of Deputy
Marshal Phillips, presented paper with an stida
vii of Mr Phillips, stating that the rule had not
been served, because he had been ordered by the
President not to serve it. and because the privilege
Of the writ of hGbeoS corpus had been suspended
for the present, by the order OF the President il
regard to soldiers in the army Of the United States
within the District OF Columbia. r..
Mr.. Carringuon off-red to submit an argument to
the Court in behalf of Marshal Phillips; but the
Court announced thatt did not propose to take any
steps against him.
A. the return presented a grave question, the
Court desired to hold it under, sdvsement, and an
adjournment was msde until Wednesday morning
next.
