THE NEW YORK CENTRAL CASE.
Secretary Boutwell, this afternoon decided that
he has power to hear the appeal of the New
York Central railroad company from the recent
decision of the commissioner of internal rev
enue, but it is not necessary to do so for the due
administration of law or the protection of the
rights of the company. If, therefore, the COM
pany shall not pay the amount already assessed,
there will be levy on their property. They,
however, have a right to institute suit against
the collector, and the government will thus be
enabled to defend the decision.

WATERS.
Admiral Rodgers, commanding the Asiatic
fleet, forwards from Borsu island, Korea, June
8, the following account of his reception by the
Koreans, to whom he bad gone for the purpose
of negotiating treaty for the protection of
shipwrecked sailors of civilized nations, who
have hitherto suffered death, slavery or other
cruel treatment at the hands of the natives
Our minister and the Korean conveys exchanged
professions of amicabe intention. The Koreans
made no objections to a survey of their waters.
The Monocacy, Palos and four steam lauuches,
under commander Blake, were sent, June 1, to
examine the river Sable, at a point called diff
fcult passage, on the French chart, No. 1850, at
the point where the navigation is most perilous.
Masked batteries, manned by several thou
sand Koreans, were unmasked and opened a

The French ship in advance fought calamity.
Our vessels bearing up drove the enemy from
their works. The tide swept all the ships past
the batteries They anchored and threw shells
among the enemy; eight inch shells were evil
IDENTIFY not expected. The Monocacy was
slightly injured by knocking upon snnken
rock, but is now temporarily repaired. The
vessels returning received no fire, the enemy
having been driven from the forts. Our people
displayed great gallantry, and only two were
slightly wounded. A communication was re-
ceived to-day which. may open negotiations
otherwise, since the Koreans have met peaceful
overtures with unprovoked war, our forces will
land, and, destroying the forts will take such
other measures as the interests of civilization
require.

HORSE THIEVES IN LIMBo.--0n Thursday,
George Barnes, who lives in the south part OF
Clinton, received a call from two young men,
who wanted to buy twenty-five pounds of hay
to feed their horse they said they had near by.
The appearance of the callers excited MIR.
Barnes's suspicious, but he sold them the hay,
and kept his eye on them while he sent another
man to Fitchburg for Deputy Sheriff Gibbs and
State Constable Kimball. Meanwhile, in order
to detain the young men, he proposed swapping
horses with them, but before the time of closing
up the bargain the officers arrived post haste
and arrested the suspected thieves. 1t was a
well contrived arrangement on the part of Mr..
Barnes. The horses are fine looking animals,
about eight years old, one chestnut and the
other bay color. The young men are about
nineteen or twenty years of age; one of
them calls his name William B. Duncan, and
says he has parents in Springfield; the other
calls his name Charles A. Walker, and says he
belongs in Palmer They said they bought the
horses at auction in Brighton, but there is every
evidence they were stolen. The young men were
taken to Fitchburg and aTaigned before Judge
Ware of the police court, and held in $500 each
for examination on Saturday of next week.
1t appears these horses were stolen from the
barn of William W. Blanding, in Rehoboth, on
the night of June -, since which time officers
have been on the lookout for the culprits named
above, who were lurking about that village on
that night, and suspected of having committed
the theft. The horses found in Clinton answer
perfectly the description of those lost by Mr.
