THE STAY LAw-We have received a copy
of bill which is proposed to be laid before the
Legislature, repeating the present stay law and
substituting another in its place. The object of
this substitute is to procure a stay of execution
and sale for twelve months; but, at the same
time, to provide by bond and security for the
protection of the ere litor. The subject is now
before the General Assembly, and we have full
confidence that they will render justice in the
case both to debtor and creditor. We acknow-
ledge our inability to give advice as to the best
course to be pursued-but Of this we are conf
dent, that ifsome action is not taken to preserve
our business men from the consequences of the
entire repeal of the present stay law, vast
amount of suffering and injury vii! ens,le.--

London Correspondence of the Manchester Guar
dian.
The Trent ImbrogliO.


HOW THE CABINET REGARDED THE RESULT.
LONDON, JAM 1O.-The result of the Cabinet
Council, yesterday, is the formal termination of
our difference with America respecting the affair
of the Trent The Government wisely separate
and simply accept his unconditional compliance
with their demand, expressing their readiness to
discuss with him, as as they are legally in
formed upon the subject, the more general re-
marks that serve to fill the very voluminous
despatch which arrived in London from Lord
Lyons yesterday. l understand that while
agreeing, without hesitation, in the arguments
on which our demand was founded, Mr.. Seward
confines his condemnation of Captain Wilkes to
his omission in not taking the Trent into port
for the purpose of having her duly adjudicated
on. I am told his arguments are not strong or
put with his usual force and adroitness. They
mostly tend to justify refusal of our demand,
and the resolution of giving up the prisoners is
added most inconsequently to the arguments
with which the propriety of their seizure and
detention is sought to be sustained.
| All this, no doubt, is the effect Of a compro-
mise between the peace and war party in the
| Washington Cabinet The former, having gain
ed their point, were probably but too happy to
allow the latter the consolation of having their
arguments and views given to the world. How
ever, as have said, our Government have for
the present only dealt with the act of the Ame-
rican Cabinet, and, the ground once cleared, will
be glad to consult with them and the other Pow
ers upon the establishment of some distinct code
with respect to the treatment of neutrals by bel
ligerants. The Law Officers of the Crown have
already been consulted on that point. Mean
while, there IS to be no relaxation IN our efforts
to put the Canadian offences on proper footing
None of the troops lately sent out will be with
drawn until the internal American difficulty
shall be settled. The organization of the loca
and military commission will be sent out te
devise means for the protection of the frontier
by forts and works along the points most oper
to attack This last will be a very expensive
operation, of which we may fairly expect thu
Canadians themselves to take at least some shar'
of the burden.

nFOnr attention has been called time al


time to the subject of "negroe slaves going al
large and hiring themselves, contrary to the act
of Assembly," &C., and so frequent is the COM
plant and so palpable the evil that we feel it a
fnty to call public attention to the fact. The
laws Of Maryland have for years positively pro-
hbitel and forbidden this habit, and it would
seem that in this particular state Of affairs, if it
were ever necessary to enforce such statute,
now is the time. The people are crying aloud
for the enforcement of the laws in some respects
if it be right for us to claim the observance of
the law in others, it is only fit that we should
observe our own law and thus set an example
which should put toshame any other who would
violate the law. So plainly has it been written
that we surely think no man is ignorant of his
violation of law, who suffers his negro "to go at
large and hire himself" In needs no argument
to show the justice and wisdom Of such law and
it needs no words to show the awful corruption
and great evil which arises from its violation
This thing is too much done in Charles county
f,r our good or our credit, and the sooner it is
broken up the better for the community. The
military in our midst finds it necessary to detail
company Of soldiers to prevent the unlawful
traffic in whiskey, and yet the good people Of
Charles, instead of lending all the aid in their
power for the suppression Of the evil, are actual
~ in some cases aiding and abetting the evil
doer by suffering their negroes to go at large,
contrary to the law and often dangerous to the
community That whiskey is often circulated
AID sold to slaves and soldiers, by free negroes
and slaves at large, none can doubt, and that
they buy and sell is equally clear. Every effort
has been made to discover the seller but in vain.
We therefore suggest to all good citizens who are
DESTROYS of seeing the law enforced and order
preserved in the community, If they have slaves
at large contrary to the statute, Immediately to
call them in and put them to work under their
own supervision or in care Of some trusty white
mar 1t is an evil, gross evil, and violation
OF the ia'">and it is the bounden duty Of every
good citizen t0>>>> to its immediate suppression.
Another subject n~ais connection we would
mention. The law requires>s merchants to sell
whiskey to free negroes only on an~anse from a
Justice Of the Peace and when white mon lend
themselves to the evil. by ordering whskey BY
the gallon to be sent them by free negroes, and
these negroes are to derive the benefit from such
order and thus come in possession Of whiskey
in violation of the laws intention. the finger Of
eternal scorn and contempt should be pointed
at such. That such things are done; that white
men order the whiskey as though for themselves
when it is designed for the free negro himself
none can doubt, and it would be perfectly COM
petent for the community in which such rascality
sperperated to render the climate too hot for the
perpetrator. We hope the people will be up to
the evil

The NAvY.-Extract from letter dated
Hatteras, January %: eve have been ready
for the ''onacard' move for four or five days-r-
but our army friends are delayed by the doubt
Of their vessels-all have to be lghtened to 90
over the bulkhead; most of them draw too
much water to 60 over at any time, and here is
the hitch Eight feet is the maximum depth Of
water over the bulkhead, except in extraordi-
nary tides, such as to-day. This the navy at
tended to strictly in fitting out their vessels;
but our friends, so far from being particula,
about 1t, added fifteen inches of keel to many
which really drew but seven or eight feet
Others which were purchased for six or seven
feet draft, now draw nine and upwards some
body will have to render an account of this"

The sumter.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Four Federal steam
ers and three sailing vessels are now on the alert
to capture the Confederate steamer Sumter. and
the ship-of-war Constitution is now fitting out
at Portsmouth for similar purpose. Several
national ships are lying in port for want of sea-
men, about 1000 of whom are now needed by
the Navy Department., while Flag Officer Foote
is in want of about 1000 for service in the
Western waters. The New England fishermen,
it seems, have in large numbers entered the
army. there being slight excess of pay over
that of the navy, but in other respects no adj
vantages.
