Another witness is to arrive from Richmond with ths
classification Of the prisoners when the case ON the paz
ofthe defence will be definitely closed

repute for gallansry and the siucieas d.cnsrge
Of his duty as colonel Of cavalry we puonsned
q letter relating to him which purpor.ed ~ 20
and which we supposed was, written by Sir
Percy wSndh.ni. ~ T. The letter contained
some statements decidedly derogatory to the
character of Colonel Wyndham, and had they
been true tho publication Of the letter tended
to benefit the national service. We supposed
them TO be true at the time the letter was VIII
ten; but we are now convinced that they we're
false, and the malicious inventions OF some
enemy TO Colonel Wyndham. We have seen
letter from Sir Percy Wyndham, M p, denying
that he ever wrote the letter in question, and
the same denial has been made in the London
papers. We make this statement as simple
act Of justice to Colonel Wyndham.

CURIOUS PHASES OF CITY LIFE.-Two inter-
esting trials are now in progress in our courts.
The trial OF Bernard Friery for the murder Of
Harry Lazarus, in the Court Of Genesal Ses-
sions, attracts great crowds Of sporting men,
professors Of the manly art Of selfdefence, men
about town, innkeepers and that class Of peo-
ple The Joannes' libel suit against Horace
Greeley, in the Court Of Common Pleas, draws
equal crowds Of theatrical and musical critics,
editors, actors, managers, agents and dramatic
people generally. A short time ago, in the case
Of Opdyke versus Weed we had similar crowds Of
politicians from all parts Of the city and the State.
It is . peculiarly Of this great metropolis
that each class Of inhabitants attends 10 what
ever happens 70 interest II, irrespective Of the
nteresa Of any other class. A murder case might
seem more attractive than libel suit; but
here in New York the one is as interesting as
The other, and we have TO give equally full re
ports Of both in order to satisfy our varied
classes Of readers. A paper which is read by
everybody must publish the news which pleases
everybody. OF itself life is more interesting
than libel; but while many win read with the
closest attention the details Of the killing Of
poor Lazarus, others will peruse with intense
amusement the details Of the careers and prac-
tices Of the parties in the so-called libel. We
recommend our reports 10 the perussl Of our
readers,

INTERESTING FROM MExIco-FAnURE or DR..
Owns PRoJECrs-The news from Mexico,
contained In the letters of our cores
pondents and published this morning, is
Of highly interesting character. Accord
ing to these advices, the great scheme Of
DR.. Gwin for colonizing Sonora with ex-
hausted rebels has fallen through. The En-
peror Macmillan would have nothing to do
with the forlorn and adventurous Gwin. Not
withstanding the patronage and friendship Of
N. Montholon, backed by the efforts of oil the
secessionists at the Mexican capital, the EN-
peror was firm and esolute in rejecting oil the
offers and propositions Of "the Senator from
California" Maximilian has thus shown some
wisdom. The troubles be now has to contend
with from the insurectionary movements Of
dissatisfied Mexicans would be as nothing COM
pared to what he would have to suffer at the
once got q footing In his dominions. Besides,
any encouragement Of secession flibusters In
his empire-men known to be deadly hostile TO
the government OF the United States--would
naturally have been regarded here ~ an un-
friendly act on the part Of Maximilian's gov
eminent The true solution of the matter
seems 10 M 70 lie in the fact that the Emperor
u desirous Of consolidating the strength Of his
rule by cultvating friendly relations with our
government as he well knows that without the
consent Of this republic his throne and socpre
would not be Of much value.
Dr. Gwin's mission is thus ended for the time
being, and he has started for Europe sadder
II not wiser man. That he still has some faint
hopes Of ultimate success, however, appears
from the fact that he is now resolved 70 appeal
10 the Emperor Of the French. But We opine
that he will not have much more success at the
Tuileries than he had at the Imperial Palace oi
Mexico. Louis Napoleon will not venture tc
embroil himself in n war with this country. II
would be fatal 10 his prospects and the future
hopes Of his dynasty. He had rather throw

Southern confedcracy which he represeuts

canada Troubled.

Tnr Canadians are in . chrome state Of alternate
fear aud envy respecting tho United States. jus,
now they arc worry wing themselves about the heavy
emigration from the Provinces " the United States
during the last year or two, and from a duleful
article in the Toronto LRADTa the blue noses begin
W fear that Canada will soon 10 depopulAted. MOI
only are the native born Canadians hocking To tho
United States, bu, foreign imni grants, who arrive
In the Provinces csnno, be induced 10 stay, but
insist upon leaving At once for this country. Tho
LzADKn in giving statistics Of immigrant arrivals
In Csnads during the present year, says that "of
the whole inning ation-2l, 355-ls,s I3 went 10 the
United ststes." That Is, Canada retained less
than twenty. Ave hundred out OF over twenty -ono
thousand immigrants during the year. No wonder
the blue noses are disguised. But they msy az
we'll take the matter with becoming resignation
We do no, want their territory, they have fool
ishly imagined, but the bone and anew-sll thA. 10
worth hAyng--wlll grsvits.e to the States and
nothing can stop them. We will take whatever Of
industry, labor and vitality there may be, Through
the medium Of immigration but the cold, bleak
hills Of Canada are neither useful nor orn amental
aud accordingly We dout wsn. them. We win
take the honey, but respectfully decline III, comb.
The blue-nosos may, therefore jus, as well bow 10
manifest destiny, and moi sour their tempers by
sprnging 81 grapes they cannot reach.
