THE ALEXANDRA IN COURT.
In the Court Of Exchequcr, on the 81 inst,
! tee Attorney General applied 10 the court TO
give him more than the ordinary time Ct four
days, after the opening of the court, in which
to move for new trial in reference to the
forfeiture OF tho suspected gunhoat Alexandra.
After some explanations 7 the Lord Chief
Baron in regard to his summing up in the
case. it was arranged that The Attorney Gene
rnl should appear in court again on the 9Th
inst, in order to see whether they could bring
/. case 0! this kind within the terms of the
Common Lay Procedure Act
The Morning Post" thinks from the dis
cussion which took place on the occasion, that
the law officers of the Crown entertain but
feeble hopes OF setting aside the verdict al
ready given. But il, SAYS the post" Gur
municinal law was not violated. we have still
70 decide, whether or rot our international OBJ
legations were disrecardrd. Tho latter is n
question for the Legislature, and the former
for Court Of law.
The London "Timcs" snys that, unless terl:-
nical difficulties imreac the proceedings, it il
likely that the law relating t. the Alexandra
and tho rams will be shortl- settled, and it
trusts 'that tho DECISION Of the court will ef-
feet such settling of disnutcd points rs will
remove any inst cause of complaint, without
unduly restricting the industry Of the country.
If lroa plated rams are constructed here with
the moral certainty that they will proceed to
run down Federal merchantmen, without ever
going near q Confederate port; it is time tn
arrive at distinct knowledge of what the law
is that bears unon tho subject"
The 'Timcs" learns that the Venezuelan
Government had made an Offer FOR the Alex
anl-a-that Messrs. Barring BIOS. guaranteed
the transaction. but that the Government dc.
cli1cd to sanction the transaction.

The Federal steamer + oarsage. reported by
last steamer 20 have arrived of Queenstown.
was expected 10 visit Southampton. The
United States f,iga'o Niagara and the rebal
steamer Georgia ~nre also locked for shortly
ut that port.
Tire Morning POST argues that the North
en- never obtain men sufficient to preserve
the Federal cnnquests-each conquest requir-
ing m nrmy to retain possession.
The Times" in its CITY Article draws at-
tention to the immense substitution Of foreign
for American shipping. as shown by the re-
turns Of the port Of New York.
THE PhLIsn INSTRUCTION.
The state of affairs shows no change. New
2etachments Of insurgents continued to make
their appearance in the Luhiin DISTRICTS.
Gen. rrepow, chief of the gendarmes at
Warsaw, had been wounded in tho head with
m age in one nf the streets OF Warsaw. The
perpetrator Of the deed was arrested.
A proclamation has been issued bv the
Revolutionary Town Captain declaring the
object Of Inc Russians. in nrrcsing so mary
Influential citizens. to he the e1tor.iop Of mn
address of loyalty" to the Car Of Russia.
The London "Times" has y leading edito
rial article on tho frnitlelsness of di pinmatic
interference with Russia. The efforts, it says,
of the three Powers have not dried single
tear; but they have mado it a point of order
with Russia to put down the rebellion in Po-
land with the utmost severity.
They have made mercy appear in the light
Of concession to foreign dictntion. The
whole hopes Of Poland, therefore, rep"se en-
tirely on the prospect Of assistance from
France, since ii ia not probable that Austria
will take UP arms for Poland, and it is certain
that England will not. Perhaps the Emperor
Napoleon may think it n lesser evil to embark
alone in all the uncertainties Of great Euro
pean war.
Continued activity on tho part Of the Pc
lisn insurgents vas reported, and strong
bands were said to be crossing the frontiers
into Poland.
