Mr. VAN DYER treats the whole affair with caustic contempt, !:probably„because it is in -the hands of the office-holders. Even Mr. GEORGE it.,Wnsit .24nr, the new United States Attorney, has not 'deigned to. open his month—doubtless satis fied with the fees that reward his rhetoric in the District Court. More Wonderful than all, Mr. VrtorNr L. liaanronp—much more eager . to speak than his audiences are ready to hear— has become strangely silent. What does it mean , Dave the leaders become ashamed of 'the movement they initiated? Are the cap tains disgusted - with the responsibility, they have assumed 1 Is this 'bad scheme of Dis union to be left to those who advocate it only at their command ? and is the whole disgrace to be packed and piled upon the shoulders of the subordinates? In the interior of the State things are no bettor.

Is the Breckinridgo and Lane move ment to be confided to Mr. rainwear, Mr. Barns, Mr. Postmaster Baowtrit, and to Mr. Marshal Yost. We pause for a reply. • Southern Travel to the North. It Will do the heart of the true American good to notice the unconscious comment made by the' Southern.' people iipen the efforts of the Southern Secession politicians to Mike° them to avoid all intercourse with their friends and relatives, their brothers and sisters, in the free States. These enemies of the Union— taking advaitage of the great panic in the mo ney world, and exulting in the fact that, while the crops in many of the free States have failed; the cotton crop last year' produced onornionsly—have congratulated themselves upon Abet they regard as evidences of a per manent 'alienation between the North and the South.., But_ every day proves the folly of such gloom) , expectations, and confirms tri umphantly the, enduring affection existing between all the people of this Union. ThlitWe are on the eve of a great revival in business most be' apparent to every sensible merchant and mechanic. The revival in ship building is one of the' most gratifying indica thms:of th & t r uth.of_tht......yettoz --- Tlfe — tihip ids, North and ,South, are being filled with Workliog men. The abundant. craps in the northivestern States and- Territories, notwith standing , the 'prOtracted drought, contrasted with, the failure 'of the European crops, is an other 'healthy and grid Dying sign. The enor mew ; quantity' of coal dug out of the mines and, transported to the different ports, North and South, is an element that enters into the generid revival of Internal commerce. But nothitentere clearly establishes the existence of the fact of the kindly feeling that continues to knit die Southern people to all other sections of the Union than the unprecedented travel on our railroads within the last six weeks. The trains hum the See:ahem States aro crowded with ' passengers,—men of wealth accom panied 'by their families, seeking the cool re treat of Sharon; Saratoga, Cape May, Atlantic City,, Ephrata, Bedford, Cresson, Delaware Water Gap, Loretto, and Carlisle White Sulphur Springs. The lists of arrivals at our hotels are crowded with Southern names, and our merchants, a little too apt 'to be terrified by the cries of the petty paid politicians in their midst, may now, calmly prepare for a business season of. unwonted and gratifying activity. In the presence of such exhibitions as these, and particularly' in view of the known conservative feeling of the masses of all parties—a feeling produced by the lessons of the recent past—a feeling which will rend& any administration of the Federal Government that m 4, be; inaugurated on the fourth of March MOD; worthy of the respect and confidence of the Southein people—how futile' and how feeble are all the efforts of the mere, politicians to destroy fraternal relations between the two great sections pfour happy Union' I The New York Republicans. Tho Republicans of New York aro becoming quite animated among themselves in reference to candidates for United States Senator, Go vernor, and State officers. Senator SEWARD'S unddrstood intention to retire at the close of his present senatorial term has sharpened the ambition of many gentlemen to become his successor.. Governor Homan has been en aspirant for the position, but as, it is said, he cannet'rely upon the support of Mr. SEWARD or Mr. REED, his change would, at best, be but doubtful. Re has, therefore, wisely resolved to withdraw and devote) his energies to a re-nomination to the Governorship. He is "a good enough Morgan" for that, but is scarcely adapted to a seat that has been filled by a MARCY, VAN 'BUREN, WRIGHT and SEWARD. But even for the gubernatorial nomination his Excellency will not bo with eir4comPetitors. Prominent among themwill be 1 . 0 1 / 1 1dJAHES M.

The New York Herald says that the British erg resident in New York contemplate giving a grand ball to the Prince of Wates, at the Metropolitan Hotel, on a scale quite equal to that given to the Japanese.

The British ,Consul, on the requisi tion of a number of his countrymen, has called a meeting to consider the subject, at the Astor House, this Monday evening. WASHINGTON CORREpPoNDEIME. - Letter front 410vensional.”. f.Correepondotioe of Tito Preart.l ' WARIIINGTON, Aug. b,lBOO. Wo have had. two excitements during the week which olosed on Saturday—first, the departure of large company, of both settee, foe the Chesapeake, in order to enjoy a eight of the British leviathan, the Great Eastern the other, the arrival of the far. famed Chicago &names. This extraordinary corps reached this city at six o'clask en Saturday morn ing, and left in the evening. Their first visit was to the Mime and grave ofWaskington 'and oh thbit return paid their respects to the (Met Magistrate, who addressed Wilt In it characteristic speech, to which Col. Ellsworth responded. Their evolutions exalted as much enthusiasm and amazement among our resident population at in the East* Cities. Ono good result' will flow front this tour of the Chicago Zonaves: it Will inspire new rivalry among the young mem in all parts of the country. They have 'been greatly criticised, but the most experi enced military men, even home of the martinets of the regular army, have volunteered the opinion that they far surpass anything that West Point itself has yet prodded. A writer in the National Intellzgenter, a day or two ago, no doubt a gradu ate of West Point, says that while the United States military academy may bo capable of doing what the Zoueves have done, it is °bailie that its scholars have not yet attempted it. In a month or two :Cavelike of Zottavee will be the rage everywhere. The xenowned Seventh Re giment, of New York, whisk has Belong borne the palm of superiority, wilt be eempelled to strike out a new path, or to surrondee be the Chicago" Busk ers." Even in South Carolina the eentagion to imi tate the Zouaves has become Irresistible. The city of New York has claimed ) and with justice, to possess thellnest volunteer military orgaization in the United Stites. Philadelphia, with her Patter sons anti Cadwallader°, has fallen behind in the race, and Washington, until the Seventh Regiment visited here, some months ago, never boasted of much of a military establishment. Now, however, that a new fashion hat been set, and the success of severe drill applied to young men of sedentary habits demonstrated, especially in connection with the plan which inetcorably enforces sobriety and Peo vides a system of mutual preteetion on the basis of the old benevOlent Moieties, our male population from eighteenth thirty years of age, may be onrolldd all over the country, not only with advantage and profit to themselves, but to the nation at large. The fault of the volunteer system of the United States has boon in the fact of its being a mere holi day pastime. Gaily-dressed soldiers, called out at intervals, marching our streets, apd attracting the attention of the fair eon—occasionally indulging in target practice, and generelly in largo supplies of intoxicating liquohi—this has been the begin ning and the end of the whole experience. If the Chicago Zonaves can extend their example to all the States of the Union, they will have conferred a great benefit upon the country, not rally in im proving the health and phyoielle of our young men, but in organizing 11 vast body of troops for any emergency. What an admirable plan it would be, if, in connection with such an organi zation, libraries could be established, gymnasia conducted, and the broods of dissipated city clubs wiped out of existence ! It is a subject well worth the attention of the Legislatures of the different States. But in ordne to secure a vigorous reorganization of our local uniformed militia, it will become necessary for the youhg men of the cities, towns, and villages everywhere, to take the matter into consideration, and to entitle themselves to the generous attention of their re presentatives. It is a fact that need not be dis guised that the militia system of the respective States has boon permitted to fall almost into con tempt. I have stated the causes now, when a noble example has been set, and when honorable emulation may be excited, greatly to the advan tage of the physical, intellectual, and moral im provement of our youth. Let us see whether it will be followed up. Postmaster General Molt does not, I am told, consider himself a regular member of the Cabinet of Mr. Buchanan. He is, I believe, cenneoted with the Wlokliffe family of lientrioky. The father, ex-Governor Wickliffe, of Kentucky, and the son, ex-Governor Wickliffe, of Louisiana, are both active Douglas men—the latter constantly on the ground here as ene of the head men of the Na. tional Douglas organization. The Poet Office De- Vattecent, if it has yielded to proscription, has done s 6 only when directed by the Venerable Pub lic Functionary at the head of the novorran'ora. Mr. Holt himself is an amomplished scholar, n re former in truth, and More careful to make repute.' lion for hiraself in his Department than to stand by and assist the executioners in their war upon indee. pendent Democrats. He it was who, more than twenty years ago, electrified the country by bic noble speech in defence of Richard M. JohnlOn, in the Baltimore National Convention, when an at tempt was made to °attache old Diok by cer tain of the pi:Moises. His speech on that occasion was a model of eloquence, and is still quoted as among the fined specimens of American oratory. Mr. Holt mad* one 6f the most over wheming arguments in favor of popular sovereign ty, in 1856, on record. This may induce hint o ptima and ponder anon the polio of aiding Mr. Buchanan' in his unholy and cruel crusade upon independent men. A single extract from hie great Venda delivered to the Demoorats of Frederick city, Maryland, in 1856, will show how be felt then on the great issue which continues to divide and distract the country : "All the Territories since organized have been provided.with Legislatures chosen by the people, and amenable tolthem, and performing without ob jeotion the ordinary functions of that brand' of the law-making power. Congress has never sought to give rzvtl or ertmtnat codes to the Terratortes after their organization ; it has not defined the rights of property, regulated matters of police, established or controlled the tnstitrason of marriage, but has left all these great interests to the care and management of the local Legisla tures. Does not the institution of slavery stand uponrectsely the same foams , ? it seems to me utterly impossible to distinguish it front the other subjects °floral legislation to whtch I have referied." , I have no doubt if Mr. Bolt could speak his honest thoughts he would laugh heartily at the idea of changing this noble logic in auppott of self. government, on the false ground that the Supreme Court of the United States has decided against the right of the people to vote upon the institution of slavery in the Territories. - You would hardly believe it, but Mr. Buchanan is excessively indignant at what he calls Judge Douglas' stump speaking In New England. Our aged President has a strange way of forget. ting himself. Does he not know that he was the first to set the example of snaking a violent and undignified stump speech under the very portals of the White House itself? Does be forget that Joe Lane has been billeting his vulgar =tomes, and his empty vanities, upon the people wherever he has been called upon? Judge Douglas, discarding this example, has characteristically taken the bull by the horns, and has thrown himself boldly before the people, stating his cause with singular can dor and force, captivating and conquering bun dreds and thousands by his ability and courtesy. I heard a loading Republican gay yesterday that he regarded the report of the speech of Mr. Dou- glas at Concord—copied from the Boston Herald -84 one of the most convincing and spirited efforts: among all those made by the distinguished Illinois Senator. Why [should not Judge Douglas meet the people face to face when he sees the President trampling under foot all the sacred precedents of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren, Polk, Fillmore, and Pierce, and turning this whole power of the Federal Government against every man of principle? Is he not right in striking out a new field and going to the source of power? North Carolina Election. HEAVY OPPOSITION GAIXS—Tnis DEMOCRATIC MA JORITY REDUCED TO EIGHT THOUSAND VOTES PET/SIMI:MG.

Lord Palmerston's speeoh to the House; on the national defences, has caused MAUI uneasiness in England. The Daily News allots to Lord Palmerston's proposition as part of a plan which the Govern ment has not the courage to disclose It says no body entertains a doubt that the inevitable sequel will be a largo increase of the standing army. Three Dutch war steamers have been ordered to Beyroat. A despatch from Naples announces that Palazzo had been attacked by Garibaldi, and that. in order to avoid civil war, the King of Naples had ordered the total evaettatton of Sicily by the royal troops. The Garibaldlans occupied Malaise. Garibaldi quitted Palermo on the 18th to join Col. Medici, at his camp near Mulatto, and it is presumed he headed the attack on that place.

The London Post has received a doepatch from Paris, which says everything leads to the belief that Garibaldi is directing his expedition against the main land but no confirmation of the fact has yet been received.

The illustrious General may fairly claim for himself and he troops all thb credit of this success. notwith standing the relierve of merit made by the King in Re signing Motives of humanity for the resolution he tins taken.

G. GARIBALDI. The following order of the day was issued by Garibaldi, upwards of a month ago, for the funeral of the Hungarian General Tuokery. Some Italian letters referred to the document at the time, but its complete tenor has only just reached us: PALERMO, June 7 1600 Colonel Timken' is dead. The Cmoi atom of the Alps lose one of their best elites. ono of their bravest and dearest comrades, Varese, Como, Calatafimi. Palermo, saw Tuakerv, the first among the first. attack the ene my.

The Italians swear upon the tomb of the heroic martyr that, the cause of Hungary shall ho theirs, and that they will repay with their blood the blood she has shod for them. G. GARIBALDI. Certain apocryphal letters from soldiers who had deserted to Garibaldi, and repented of having done as, having been circulated in the ranks of the Neapolitan rainy, the secret committee at Naples published and circulated the following proclama tion by Garibaldi : gEI'iTI.RSIRN: We have to create an ariny of 200 000 man. I much appreciate and esteem volunteers ; never theless, I would rather make a colonel or a loyal captain who knows his business well than of an advroate.

July 16, 18i0 It to rumored in the town that Garibaldi will soon start for ItlessMa.. but his seereta aro well kept, and discre tion in his case is one of the accessories of valor. He has not less than 15,000 men, end all good soldiers, under hie ectmmand at the present; this is exclusive of the Sicilian corps. The Garibaldi subscription receipts come in very opportunely, as the keep, on a war foot. ing, of so large an army Gorge for net would hare drained this town of all its ready cash. The solvate of the Sicilians lice decidedly improved, thanks to the firm conduct of our Gletator, and lull confidence is felt in the good faith of Piedmont. The concessions at Naples are turned into ridicule. and form the chief topic for joking—the Siciliars saying that they canrot under stand why the National Guard decree is restricted for the present at Naples la the territories, •' al di quo del Faro," and does not exten d to them. THE MASSIAORES IN SYRIA. In the British House of Commons, Sir J. Fergu son called the attention of the house to an article in the Constitutionttel, giving an account of the steps taken by the French Government to put a stop to the massacre of the Christians in Syria, and asked Lord J. Russell whether be had taken any part, in his position of Foreign Secretary, to prevent the continuance of the terrible massacres ; he also asked whether It was true that peace had been agreed to between the Whet) of Lebanon, and whether her Majesty bad consented to the inter vention of the French Government in Syria. Lord J. Russell said It was the general impression that the Turks had not done all they could to stop these massacres, although it was true that the Sultan had sent a considerable body of troops Into the disturbed districts. Her Majesty's Govern ment could not object to European troops being sent to Syria, and a convention for that purpose had been signed, to which England, France, Rus sia, Austria, and Prussia were parties. It was not yet ascertained what steps the Porte would take. The Paris correspondent of the Herald says : The telesraehie letter of tbe Sullen to the Emperor, dated the lath of July, has, in some measure, checked the growing agitation on the Bourse; but It Is °mien that it will have no effect in &tanking an immediate interposition on the part of France, with or without the participation of the other European Powers It is me of those eases In which public sentiment would aciplY Justify indi% ideal interference if there were any Indorosition on the part of England.

At Sarda there were 12.000 more similarly protected. At DITI/18, Abd-el- Ender was making the most strenuous and effective ef forts to rroteet the Christians. Mt==! SICILY AND NAPLES ENGLAND In the House of 001111110118 on the 234 nit., Lord Palmerston listed the intentions of the Govern ment relative to the defenoe of the country. He proposed that the recommendations of the recent oommissloners—whose report has been published— should be substantially carried out. The defence of the various dock yards is the principal prepo sition, and the estimated on flay is £9,000 000 sterling which is Intended to be raised by moans of terminable annuities, expiring in thirty years. The requirement for the present year is .C 2,000,000, which it Is proposed to raise at once with a view to the immediate prosecution of the works, and to raise from year to year such additional sums as May be required. Lord Palmerston espatlated on the tisngdr td which the count* , was etposed from invasion, and, alter pointing to the large army maintained in France, which Is always ready for aggresslyo pur poses, lie doCiared that England ought not to be de pendant upon the forbearance of another Power for its freedom from attack. The consideration of the subject was postponed till tho 30th of July. The preposition was generally received with fa. vor, partidularly by the Tory party. The Peace party regard Palmerston's speech as a manifesto of distrust towards Franco.

The London Poses correspondent at Rome, wri ting on July 17, says that of the one hundred and forty-tour mon sent back to Ireland at the expense of the Papal Government, sixty-four were declared unfit for service by the medical officers, and forty were discharged en tnasse, having belonged to the Irish constabulary ; but whether from this fact, or from their own disinclination to serve on terms so far inferior to what they had been accustomed, the writer is unable to state. A statement drawn up by one of the constabulary, late of Dublin, declares the Irish aro treated in a most disrespootful, cruel, and treacherous manner by the Roman authorities. They are trampled on by the Government, hated and detested by the people of Italy. The Poses correspondent says that letters are being regularly received at, the British Coneulate freta Hen he longing to the Irish Brigade, begging for assistance in obtaining their release. BELGIUM. The Belgium Chamber of Deputies had present ed an address to the King, a ongratulating him on the completion of the twenty-ninth year of hie reign.

TERRIBLE 11011WiDE IN THE FOUR- TEENTII WARD Thos. Burke, late Sergeant of Police, killed ill a Fight with Addis ilayes, On Saturday night a fight occurred on the Ridge avenue above Vine street, between Thomas Burke find Addis Hayes, which resulted in the death of the former. It is almost impossible to obtain nay reliable statement, eitbdr of - the difficulty or the darreee that led to it, ad there deerds to be an anx iety on the Part of those who know anything of it to screen Hayes as much as possible, 'Whilst setae attribute the fight tb an old grudge, which had existed between the two men ever since they were connected with the police force under Mayor Veils, others say thatllayes had insulted Iturkeis wife; and for this the latter attempted to whip him. Tho liarticulera of the fight, se far as we have been enable to gather them, are as follows : About a quarter of 12 o'clock, on Saturday night, both men accidentally mot at William McGowan's tavern, on the northwest corner of Ridge avenue and Wood street. No Words passed between them while In the bar-room; Burhe only remaining there a few minutes and then going out and standing on the pavement in front of the house. As flues came out, Burke accosted him with "Hallo, loafer. { ' Hayes replied, don't know that I am a loafer' I pay for what I get." Burke again said, " Go on' loafer," and Reyes without replying went down the Ridge avenue towards Vine street. Before he had proceeded far, Burke, hastily puttirg on his coat, ran across to the east side of Ridge avenue and then down to Vine, where he recrossed and met Hayes. here, it to raid, be provoked him into a fight, Hayes striking Burke for shaking his fed under his nose. They streak at ono artothet, Clinched; and struggled out to the middle of Ridge atenne i where Mayes succeeded in getting Burke by the throat, and choking him at the same time that he hit him several blows in the ribs. This severe punishment brought Burke to his' knees, and he trice Cried " enough " before Reyes let go his hold. A crowd Lad collected around the scene, and several pertons picked Burke Up-Mg carried him over to the drug store at the northe'sat corner of Ninth and Vine streets, whilst Hayes was al. lowed to escape by running out Vine street, Burke was in a dying condition when taken up. and expired a few minutes after moiling the drug store, first making two ineffectual efforts to swal• low some water, which, it was thought, would re vive him. The above is one of the many accounts of the affair Iron by persona who witnessed it. It is said by some that lieges had n slung-shot, with which he struck Burke, while others state that there were two other men in company with hire. who held Berko down while he Waked him in the head and neck. . The body of Burke was removed to the police station at Spring Garden Hall Shortly after the occurrence, and yesterday morning, at 7 o'clock, an inquest was commenced, Alderman Plankitt n bitting in the place of the coroner, who Is absent, at tape May. Dr. S. P. Drown mndo a post•fiioltem examina- tion of the body, but be was not ermined, and 1 ery little testimony was taken, the inquest ad- journing over until 7 o'clock this evening. On th. OM/a/Dalin of the body, two severe abrasions of the skin on the left side of the neck were disco vered, evidently caused by heavy blows or kicks, and both ears were blank. These wore the only external signs of violence. On scalping, there was found an effusion of blood into the left temporal muscle, and, on opening his head, blood poured out on the surface of the brain. We believe Dr. Brown will teat fy that the clause of hie death was this blood in his brain, the ap pearance of the body being that of a man who had died from an attack of apoplexy. All who wit nessed the fight agree that both men were in liquor at the time it took OA. Mr. Burke was twenty-nine years of age at the time of his death, and has always resided in the old distri6t of Spring Carden, where he is well known. Ever sides a youth ho has been an active adherent of the Fairmount Engine Company; and, some years ago, in tight between that company and the Moyamonaing Hose, be me stabbed in the abdomen, and so dangermisiylityanded that fo many weeks his life was despaired of. He was a powerful man, over six feet in height, but, unless roused by some sense of wrong, of a very quiet and peaceable disposition. Mayor irau.± appointed him a Sergeant of Police, in wbioh capacity he serted With great credit to himself, occasionally Oxeitini tho enmity of the men under him by the striot discipline be en. forced. Hayes was connected with the police force at the same time, and, we believe, was under his command. He wax arrested yesterday morn ing, at about one o'clock, at a tavern on Ridge avenue, near Brown street. lie did not seem to be aware that ho had killed Barker, and asked the effacer who took charge of him, " Tom has not got bas be?" . When told that Burke was dead, he expresseugrvarnurprme• __Hayes is a short, thick-set man, but, judging from his physical appearance, no match in a fair encounter for Burke. It is almost impossible that he could have indicted the deadly injury he did without some outside aid, and we hope that the most searching examination' of tho witnetsea id the case will be Made this evening, to ascertain the true facts of the murder. We learn that Rapti!' friends were busy yesterday In bushing the matter up, and this should make the officers of justice more active In• bringing forward every particle of evidence bearing upon the ease.

Colonel James Duchene's Crow, the celebrated forger, made bid escape on Saturday while being brought from prison to court. Daring the early pert of the term the Colonel vvas convicted on a charge, of forging a chock upon D. & F. Crawford, for some;lOO. After the conviction there wea motion for a new trial, but, as Cross bad forgotten, to foe hie counsel, for the trouble in the fast in. stomas, they were in no hurry to argue the motion. Finally, the Colonel became convinced that his promisee to pay would not answer, and he had ap parently made up hie mind to take his natant* OS Saturday. Ile bade an affectionate farewell to tie keepers of Moyamenslng, end then took Me &pu ffin as betted agentleman., Mr. John Porter, one' of the tipstaves of the Quarter Sessions, was entrusted with the convey ance of the prisoner. Cross requested a carriage to be brought for him, In order that his wife might accommicy him, as it would be the last opportu nity afforded him before be was sent up to Cherry Hill. The officer consented to this arrangement. The carriage was procured. but the Colonel alone, with the officer, got into it, no wife making her appearance. On the way up, the Colonel's mind still running on his sojourn in the penitentiary, ha asked the officer to accompany him to his former hotel. so that he might arrange his trunk. This was in direct violation of the rules of the court, and Mr. Porter at first refused, but afterwards consented. and the carriage was driven to Miller's Hotel, Washington and Moyamensing avenues. .lies the two stopped. Cress asked the officer to take a drink, which iio refused to do. Cross then ght a cigar, and calmly puffed away sit it, making himself very much at home. Next be asked the officer to accompany him up stairs to the third-story room, where his trunk was depo sited. While in this room be complained of the light, and repeated Mr. Porter to throw open the shutters, and as he stepped to the window to do so, the Colonel sprang out of the door-way, closed the door and locked it, thus imprisoning the off, car. Mr. Porter then commenced a 'Vigorous kick ing at the panels of the door, hut by the time be bad rucceeded in making a bole large onevisit to allow his egress, the Colonel was down stairs and orer the fence of the rear yard. Two chairs placed against the fence assisted the fugitive in his flight. As he Is a rather corpulent individual, be would have found considerable difficulty in scaling the boards but for the aid afforded by the chairs. Mr. Porter got down stairs in time to ascertain that his prisoner had just crossed the fence, bra nobody in the house seems to have made any effort to stop him. The officer ran to the front and wade known his grievances to Constable Gillingham, who then stated that he had just seen a inan.running, with no hat on, and that he had jumped into a milk wagon and had been driven off, at the same time giving the direction. lioth the constable and Mr. Porter started in pursuit, but the wagon. which was going at a furious rate, had too much the start of them, and they had fo gite npthe chase, and' Mr. Porter returned to court. . _ . The facts were brought to the notice of Judge Allisev, and be instituted an investigation into the circumstances. Mr. Porter testified to the escape as beieg ef fected in the manner above described. At the conclusion of Mr. Porter's story, Judge Allison said he had some difficulty in regard to the course which he. ought to pursue in the matter Ile had no doubifhis was a misfortune on the past of Mr. Porter. lie could not believe that Mr. P. had been engaged in the plot for the escape of the prisoner. Nothing in Mr. Porter's conduct as en officer would for a moment warrant the suspicion that he had been guilty of anything but negligence. But he had departed from the strict line of his duty in taking the prisoner any place but to the court. When an officer departs from the line of his duty, and the prisoner escapes, he .must bear the responsibility. The revised code makes it a very serious .offence for an officer even by negli gence to allow a prisoner to escape, and the judge felt called upon to say that for the present Mr. Porter must confidet himself suspended es an o car of the court. What further action might be taken in the matter would be for future considera tion. The law made thisan indictable offence, but for the present be would not hold him to ball; but it waavery probable the court would feel cesspelliki to proceed by indictment against him. Very Much would, he said, depend upon his ex ertions in procuring the rearrest of Cross, and he should take early steps to secure that result. Mr. Porter replied that the had already done as much as be could, not, however, with any desire to retain his situation, but cut of regard to his duty as an officer. Jadgo Allison said that was very ateditable to hint. The judge now directed a subpcen3 to isms to bring in all persons about Miller's Hotel,- in order to ascertain if any of them could give an alphas tion of this affair. Upon the return of the subpcens with the par ties, they were examined under oath. Constable Gillingham stated in court that he saw a man running, and this man, he understood sinoe, was Colonel Cross. He bad no bat, and he sprang into a milk wagon, and was driven down town at a rapid rate. Mr. G. ran after the wagon when be understood that a prisoner escaped, but he tenni himself ast able to overtake it. Charles Boyd testified that to was sitting oppo site Miller's tavern, and heard somebody crying " Open the door," and then heard somebody kick• ing at the door; when this noise was going on, Mr. Boyd ran around the oorner to see what was the matter, and then ho met Col. Cross running. Mr. B. inquired of him what was tho matter, end he replied that a thief wne running across the spare and he was after him The witness was not exactly satisfied with this statement, and ho told the Colonel that he believed that he was the thief; bat he had no so* the wordsout of bigmouth, than the fogiti en veins Into the wagon arid was driven away. A little boy, who saw this, c orroborated Boy d's stor . meriroprietor th hotel, was nextexamined, and be t testified of that e he bad no knowledge of Cross conteniplating a visit to his house. The witness had received notice to be in court on t aturday, and ho was up in the court ad the time the Colonel visited his house. Mr. Miller produced In court the Colonel's hat, which had been dropped on the stairway. . A daughter of Mr. Miller was examined, but she could give no information other than that the chairs bad been placed at the fence by the ear• vents, who were washing, and Cron knocked the tub from off the chair, and then used it to assist him in his escape. The landlord of tho house was called, but he knew nothing of the matter. lle did, however, in quire of the court " who was to pay for the broken door."
