IMKIGRASTs. - Sixty odd Swedes, direct
from their native land, via New York, arrived
in this city on yesterday, en- r0ntc for the
valley Of the upper James river, where there
is already thriving colony of their coun
trymen. This detachment of immigrant,
was directed to our States by letters from
their cOuntrymen already settled here, giving
highly favorable accounts Of our soil and
climate and of the treatment they had met
with at the hands of Virginians. They are
fine race if those VIC saw yesterday are fair
specimens. The men and women are sturdy
and the children fat and healthy They are
blue-eyed, faxen-haired, and Of fair, ruddy
complexion.
They have with them their tools and
worldly goods, packed in such chests and
boxes as are only constructed on the cont.
nent Of Europe. Only one Of the party
speaks English.
We hope, before the end of the current
year, to have to chronicle the arrival in our
State Of thousands Of these people, or others
as healthy, frugal and industrious. Those
Immigrants who, during the last two months,
have settled in the counties on the upper
James are highly delighted with their new
bones, and ate giving perfect satisfaction to
the people among whom they have settled

In the jefferson Market Police Court, New
York, yesterday, Judge Lcdwith delivered q
decision in this case. He refused to receive
the admissions and statements of the pris.
oner jenkins, made in the absence Of the
prisoners Lyons and Brown, and never as.
sented to or coucurred in by them He de-
clared that he was unable, from thorough
examination of the testimony to discover the
slightest evidence connecting the defendant,
Lyons. with tho receipt of the stolen prop.
erty, or showing knowledge by her Of tho
manner in which the prisoner, jenkins, OBJ
tanned the money given by him.
There arc, however, some circumstances
in the case which do not warrant the same
conclusion as 10 the oomplicity and guilty
knowledge in reference to the defendant,
Brown.
The woman was therefore discharged, and
the defendant Dcowa held to trial.
The girl Lyons, who had wcpt during tn,
reading of the decision, thon left the court il
company with her friends, the officers having
given the keys of her house to her. Ex
Judge Stuart gave notice that he would ap
ply for writ Of eeytiOrorI, and carry the cas-,
in behalf Of Brown to higher court.

SMoTHERISG THE ENBERs.-The Londor
lnaeI, which has been published since May
1862, as the organ of the rebellion, ha.
ceased to exist, not, its editor says, becaus,
it has no longer an appropriate field of oper
ations, but because
at is impossible not to see that the publ,
on both sides of the Atlantic regards tn,
Imde.r as kind Of protest against the de
cisiOn Of Providence and as the organ of I
new secession party. 1t Is needless for us t
declare that such assumptions are entirel,
false, but we are unable to add that they ar,
maniiestly unreasonable. To suppose taa
the continued publication of the Illiez has {
political significance, and that it must needs
be hostile to the United States, is natural,
and almost inevitable. We have then no
choice, We have sought to do the South
good, and we cannot harm her to further our
own views. We, therefore, suspend publica.
tion. The HudsE shall not bo the excuse
the plausible excuse--for perpetuatiug n con.
test which can only aggravate the miserics of
the conquered and disarmed.''
After all, We reckon the concern has
kinder gin eout."

TAXING CARE OF THEMsELvEs.-A writer
in Lynchburg, Va, says:
"From the most ustworthy sources I learn
that In the vicinity Of Lynchburg, of Dan
vile, of Wytheville-in counties embracing
n great part Of Southern and Southwestern
Virginn-the colored population may be
truly described as orderly, industrious, and
selfsupporting. And this seems to be plainly
shown by tho reports, drawn up by Govern
ment officials of the issue to the citizens OF
what are known as destitute ratioas.' The
exact figures have in the case Of two coun-
ties only During the month of June relief
was furnished 9ef persons in Bedford county;
Of these IS were blacks. In Campbell county
$50 persons received sustenance from the
Government; Of these $50 persons ~ were
blacks. In other counties sometimes less
sometimes greater-numbers Of persons than
in Bedford and Campbell were supplied with
food, and in them all the proportion of the
negroes to the white people was substantially
the same with that given above.

Happening up the Avenue day or two since,
