NEW YoRK, Feb. 10th, ls62.-A few
days ago, a high public official of Canada
arrived at this port from England, and, con-
trary to his usual custom, put up at an out
of-the-way sort of a hotel in Brooklyn. II
is said that a person corresponding with his
description paid daily visit TO the Navy
Yaid, and was at considerable pains to mako
himself acquainted with the resources Of
that place. The report further is, that the
same parsonage paid a visit to Fort Ham
ilton, Fort Columbus, Fort Richmond and
other important military posts in this har-
bor-with what motive nobody pretends TO
say, but good many people arc guessing.
At moment when we were on the verge
Of war with England, itcertaiuly docs not
look well to have a British officer thus per.

ATIer Mr. MORGAN.


The Tribune Of Tuesday reminds Mr..
George D. Morgan of somo small matters,
which be seems TO have forgotten, as
follows:
Whatever he the decision Of Mr.. George
D. Morgan with regard to paying back
into the Treasury the $4,000 which he
has indirectly got out Of it, we trust he will
al least see the propriety of refunding a
smaller sum, which bo ischarged with hav-
ing levied 10 the form of black mail upon
the proprietors of vessel named the Mer-
cedita. According to the story, this vessel
was sold directly to the Navy Department
for. the sum of 100000, without the in
tervention of either Mr.. Morgan, Mr.. Star
buck, Mr.. Aspinwall, or any other patriotic
gentleman; but though Mr.. Morgan had
nothing to do with the sale, he exhibited
an irresistible determination to receive a
share Of tho payment; and, as the sellers
state, they found it impossible to touch a
cent of their money until Mr.. Morgan's
little bill for 50, 500 had been duly satisfied.
Such is the report of the parties interes-
ted in this transaction; as the case stands,
it would seem that Mr.. Morgan was guilty
of something very like levyiDg black mail,
and that his brother-in-law, the Secretary
of the Navy, was accessory thereto. Ex-
plantations are badly needed.
