To BE LAUEcHED.-The Sandusky Register
of May Sd says that "the new steamer,
built by Capt Fordham, and now on the
stocks at the foot of Water street, near the
sandusky, Mansfield and Newark depot,
will be launched to-morrow-saturday-at
l o'clock in the afternoon"
MoHAwK.-The Toledo Blade of May Sd
saws that "this steamer arrived here last
evening on her first trip. As heretofore
stated, it is designed to run the Mohawk on
the Toledo and Detroit route during the
season, leaving here on alternate days, max
ing connection with the Dayton & Michigan
and GraEd Trunk Railroads"
FIRsr TRIP OF The AMERICAN STEAMERS
The Ontario, of the American line Of steam
ers, left Charlotte on Monday evening, on
her first trip for the season, for 0gdensburg.
She had some passengers and a large load
of freight. We hear that the st. Lawrence
is open to Quebec, and boats have com
meuced running.
IMPORTANT TO STEAMBOAT MES-Tussday
Judge wilkins, of Detroit, in the United
States Court, gave a decision which is of
interest and importance to steamboat men.
It was in the case of Mathison against
Pridgeon. Mathison sued the defendant
for engineers wages, which were alleged TO
be due him. Pridgeon claimed that the
plaintiff had, by misconduct, forfeited his
wages. The alleged misconduct was that,
while the vessel was in its port, Mathison
had made extensive and material altera-
tions in the engine, without the consent of
the owner. who was present in the city, and
might have been consulted. The Court
sustained the ground taken by the defense.
FIRST VESSEL THROUGH THE SIRAIIs.-Not-
withstanding q strong effort among quite a
number of cracked sailing vessels from Chi
cago, to make the first passage through the
Straits, and arrive at Buffalo, contest
which is strongly entered into on the open
ing of navigation each year-the bark Sun
rise has proved herself the aeetest of the
ueet, ana mas an nOuOraOio Cldim 10 INT
broom. She passed hero Tuesday evening
at S o'clock, and, with the present fair wind
will arrive at Buffalo twenty-fOur hours in
advance of all others. The Sunrise is owned
in Chicago by Messrs. Mears & Bates.
BUFFALO HARBoR BLocKADED.-The De-
troit Free Press of May 3, says that ga dis
patch received by Captain P. Wright from
Buffalo, yesterday, says that port is again
shut in from navigation, and it will bs i'm
possible for vessels or steamers to get either
in or out for q few days. The northeast
storm on Monday and Tuesday had the
effect to remove the barrier a short distance
from the city precincts, and permit e few
vessels and steamers to make their exit.
This has been followed by a Northwestern,
which has driven the ice back to its old
quarters, and now, as in midwinter business
in that ice-bound port, has come apparently
to a stand still. The storm, it is also feared,
has caused serions damage to some vessels
which a few days since were reported
ashore at various points.

ACADEMY OF MUsIc.-Mr. Joseph Proctor
made his last appearance at the Academy
of Music last evening, appearing as "Ethel-
wood" in the play of Ambition" The
Academy wss well filled, and the audience
witnessed with great satisfaction one of the
most deeply interesting performances given
this season. At the close of the play Mr..
Proctor was called before the curtain, and
the usual demand for a speech made, TO
which Mr.. P. responded in some very we'll
conceived remarks, expressing his gratitude
at the kindness and favor shown him by
the press and public Of Cleveland, and. en-
PEASANT, paying a very handsome compli-
ment to Manager Ellsler. Mr.. Proctor has
added much to his popularity in this city
by his late visit.
This evening we take pleasure in an
pouncing that Mr.. F. T. Murdoch receives
a benefit and a very strong bill is offered,
as will be seen by reference to advertise
ment. Nj. Murdoch deserves well of play
goers, and we trust the result of this even
ing's performance will be indeed a benefit
not only pecuniarily, but as a proper
encouragement to future effort. The posi-
ton occupied by Mr.. Murdoch in the
Academy company is one of the most
arduous IN the profession, requiring his
presence almost continually, and calling
for a great deal of laborious study. 1t IS to
be said of Mr.. NJ. that he is always thorough
in the text of whatever part he undertakes,
and that as a young actor he quite gener-
ally eyinces excellent judgment in inter
preting the spirit of his character. He is
evidently a careful student in his profession,
aiming to rise, and as such merits the
approval of those to whose instruction or
amusement he devotes his abilities. We
trust he will receive a proper recognition,
though the fine bill announced justifes the
belief that there cannot fail to be a good
house.

E. A. POWELL, the Alabama Legislator,
who wrote to FoRNEY, to know if anything
more than the adoption of the proposed
Constitutional Amendment by the South,
would be necessary to accomplish restora-
tion-and got a snub for his pains-has
requested us to say in his behalf, that he
was opposed to the amendment ia any
event. He had, he says, taken the posi-
ton that we had no guarantee that the
adoption of the amendment would restore
us, and wrote to FoRSEY alone for the pur-
pose of getting his reply to sustain that
opinion"
POWELL goes a long way for his proof.
FoRNEY had already stated the fact a hun
dred times in his two papers, both daily"
Besides, FcRNEY is not Congress, nor the
Northern people, nor Governor, nor Legis-
lature of any State-he is, in fact, nothing
but FoRNEY. Alabama would certainly de-
grade herself immeasurably, if her action on
a question Of amending the organic law,
should be governed by an opinion of For

JEFFERSON DAVIS AND THE FENIANs.-
The Toronto editors are retorting upon Mr..
SEWARD for calling the Fenian prisoners
political offenders" and therefore deserv-
ing Of clemency, which could not attach to
crimes Of a criminal Misunderstanding
by asking such questions as these:
"How has the American Government act
ed towards political offenders? At the very
head Of the list stands Mr.. JEFFERSON DA-
WIS. By the united voice Of all parties in
the United States, not TO say anything Of the
opinion of outside nations, Mr.. DAVIS con-
tinued Imprisonment in Fortress Monroe is
a disgrace to the country which keeps him
incarcerated. Does Mr. SEWARD think that
the way i'm which this man has been treated
by the Government deserves TO be called
"eminently humane = that the hardships,
the palpable cruelties which were associated
with his imprisonment until within a very
late period, were such as TO give him the
right to preach clemency TO the people Of
another country y'

IMPORTANT 10 BREwERs.-The Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue has called the at
tention of the revenue officers TO the fact that
the law requiring monthly returns from
brewers since the use Of stamps has been
adopted for the payment of the tax, must be
so administered that the stamp will be
protection additional to those afforded by
the old law, and not merely substitute. He
says:
"To this end monthly return should be
insisted upon; and the same care should be
taken as under the former law, to ascertain
its correctness. The number of stamps pur-
chased by the brewer during any month
should be ascertained by the collector, and
if not sufficient for the payment of the tax
upon the quantity brewed and removed, an
immediate investigation should be had"
