Mr.. EDIToR:-In your paper Of November Sth,

unjustly on the Captain of the steamer RilGuea, and
which | hope you will allow me a few lines in which
to correct. In all cases. the hour of sailing of the
steamer is made known on shore Immediately after
she arrives, and previous to that hour, the whistle is
blown three times, so that everybody interested has
ample notice to be off in time. Punctuality in sail
ing at the hour announced is a very necessary as we'll

Mr.. EDIToR-The late decision of the Court in
regard to the coolie case will bear looking into a
little. The language of the First Associate Judge,
expressed in common language, is that passengers
have a right 10 come and go as they please, without
hindrance. Certainly common passengers have this
right. But is this the question to be decided If
the captain of q coolie ship, in making a long passage,
stops in this port for provisions, water, &C., has this
government a right to aid and abet the desertion of
the passengers who are under contract to proceed in
the vessel? To bring them on shore and take them
back is all right, but to bring them on shore under
any false pretext to aid them in the non-fulfllment
a fair contract, is a breach of international law. So
says common sense. This decision, if carried out
fully, would necessitate a great amount of suffering
to passengers, who could not obtain supplies here in
case the ship could not come into port, or a breach Of
friendly relations with other nations in case she did.

his expressing on one occasion his entire dis

informed circles that the republic In France
Ia not destined to exist any great length Of
time. NcNahou. there Is no donhL Ia play
ing into the hands Of the monarchical party,
and is merely paving the way for return Of
the Bonapartists. The latest rumor from
Paris, that no will resign at the end of six
months, and again assume command Of the
army, Ia, we suppose, to some extent true.
When the nominal leaders Of tho republic
