Our reporter detailed to watch the movements of the filibusters culled .upon Mr. Kdward Waddel, the watchman of the steam ship company, yesterday, for the purpose of getting fnrthcr details. He stated that on Tuesday, while tie recruits were moving about restlessly along West street and in the vicinity, a dnrk skinned look ing fellow with deep black eyes came to him and asked him to prevent any one from passing through the gates of the steamship company, and that a few minutes after a large crowd of men appeared before the gates seeking admission, in order that they might get on board of the brig Philip. These men were armed and had bundles of clothes and articles of equipment, Not knowing their purpose he refused them admittance, and now comes the strange part of the story. These men, without further ado, aud under the command of their otneers, passed over to the entrance or gates leading to the United States quartermaster's Office. The chief clerk of the quartermaster's oilice, Mr. Thomas Ryan, informed our reporter that from one hundred and fifty to two hundred men then passed through, his otllce entrance to the wharf, where they embarked. These men were all examined and recog nized one by one by the Cuban otllcer in charge of the expedition, as they passed through. They had to pass through the private door behind the chief clerk's desk in the otllce. Here is a strong case enough. The Departure of the Expedition Tacitly Al lowed. The Herald' Washington correspondence of yes terday says: (me important fact regarding the probability of our Government Interfering to prevent the departure of war material for tne-Cubans nas iranspireu 10 lay. It Is, briedy, that our Government has resolved not to prevent the departure of any vessels, whether loaded with arms or not, provided their apparent destination Is not direct for Cuba. In other words, vessels cleared for Nassau, Jamaica, Mexico or any other place with which we are on friendly terms, will be allowed to leave, no matter how much war material nor how many passengers they may carry. In reply to inquiries from parties interested, includ ing, it is said, the Spanish Minister, our Government has declared that such war matcriul must be re garded as merchandise, and the people on board such vessels as travellers or persons leaving onr ports on legitimate business. This is a very import ant announcement, as it will enable the Cubans to send on as manv men and as much war material as they choose without embarrassing interference. In formation derived here to-day is to the effect that two formidable expeditious left New York for Cuba yesterday. What Captain Hazard Said and Haw. The N. Y. Tim this morning gives the following statement of a Captain Hazard : He says that he was coming up the Bay on Tues day afternoon, when he was hailed by Mr. Waters, of the Wrecking Company, from the Battery, and told to go to the foot of Spring street, North river, and receive a cargo of passengers. He accordingly did so, and found about seventy-five men on the dock awaiting his arrival. They had no bag gage, and were apparently very anxious to get away. The most of thera talked Spaulsh, and behaved in a manner calculated to ex cite suspicion. After they came on board a man who acted as their leader requested the captain to pu them on board the steamer Pierrot, which was lying near Governor's Island. On the arrival or the tug Uiut at the latter vessel, a large assemblage of dark cotnplexluned men were discovered on the upper deck. About! 26 of these were brought there by the tug-boat YafiTee from the foot of Kig.hlh street, North river. The steam-tug Martha was also reported to have conveyed men 011 board, Includlug the leaders of the expedition. She was Been lying alongside the ISerrut, by Captain Hazard. The commander of the steamer, Captain Georgo Fletcher, In conversation with Cuptaln Hazard, divulged to blm the existence of a large cargo of arms and ammunition in the hold of bis vessel. He said that they were obtained from Governor's Island, and that he had thera transferred by a tugboat to his vessel on Thursday last, the latter lying at Atlantic Basin, Brooklyn, at that time. Cap tain Hazard regarded this Information as reliable. The organizer of the expedition is represented to be General Domingo de Goisouria, who has devotod his whole I fe to struggle for Cuban Independence, besides engaging in numerous illlbustering move ments. In lsoo he fought against tho Spaniards tinder Lopez, and ho afterwards participated with Walker In his raid on Nicaragua, lie Is described as a man of medium height, spare build, long grey beard, aud very dark and piercing eyes. After the Pierrot had received tho men from tho tugboat Philip Bhe weighed anchor and stood out to sea.

From, the A nli-Skivery Staiulard 0 thin wk. We print, In another column, Mr. Conway's letter, which states, wilb admirable clearness, the position of our Government as to Cuba. It has obeyed exactly the rules of international law. We confess our en tire willingness to have had tho Government go much further. The rules ot international law, de vised by tyrants and usurpers to enable tliem to per petuate their own power, have little weight with us. So far as national non-interference means leav ing the dim-rent elements and cIuhncs of a nation free to arrange themselves and shape their own institutions, we value and are (Unpolled to respect It. But If it is strained to enact that we must sit by, neutral and Indifferent, while one race murders another, as in Crete, or one class enslaves another, as iu Cuba, we say, away with such nonsense and atheism In the name of law. Wherever a man rises for his natural rights we have a right to sympathize with and aid him. Civil and political right must lie arranged by each nation ac sordlng to its own Ideas. Men outride may and ought to leave such tilings to settle themselves ac coidlng to the level of a natiou's intelligence. But natural rights rest on different principles and draw after them differr nt duties. A race or class battling for them has a right to all the aid we can give It. Hence there Is no likeness between our Rebellion .and the rising in Cuba The Cuban patriot inscribes "Justice and Liberty" on his flag, anil hence may rlaim the help of all the world. We would have our Government not only promptly recognize the belli gerency of the Cuban insurgents, but announce to the world, as a principle or international law, that any race rising against similar wrongs should be re cognized as soon as they had fought long enough to be seen and heard live hundred miles off. We deny the existence of any Spaulsh Institutions in Cuba which, in the light of our century, deserve the name of a Government, A system which keeps one-half or its suhjeets in chains Is not a Government. A system by which the bayonets of men three thousand miles off keep a million of men In subjection, robbing them of the fruits ot their Industry (allowing them no equivalent), is not a government. To be worthy of that name and entitled to the righu of a govern ment, the system .must discharge the duties of a government. It must foster industry, promote civil ization, protect life and property, and execute jus tice between man and man. No Spanish rule in Cuba has ever-done this. We proclaim the right of our nationality, based on justice, to deny to Cuban despotism and barbarism the name and rights of a government. The only rightful government iu Cuba is found in the patriot camp. We would have Ame rica acknowledge brotherhood with it. We have no w ish for (.'nban annexation. Let her lead the West India Confederacy. If arter trying that, years hence, she seeks us, then will be time enough to entertain the question. Our only present interest Is to help a nationality based on equality or races and emancipation. The same rule we have applied to Cuba condemns the course or England during the last nine years. She strained even the unjust and equivocal rules ot International law to find means of helping a slave lioldlntf consniracv. Hatimr our srovcrnmeut as a pos sible rival, she aided to establish piracy aud slavery as corner stones or a new State. We will waste no time discussing technicalities with her. Her offense Is rank. The atonement is to be full pecuniary re compense, and, beside, a distinct, formal disavowal of any right in future to act on the principles by which she now seeks to defend her course. Her apology is to be a consent to the remodelling of in ternational law. ino matter now ioug 11 lanes puouc opinion in England to reach this willingness. We can wait. Meanwhile It is for us to act respecting Cuba on these just and enlightened principles. If Great Britain interferes we nave, at little cost, a per petual Alabama anchored on her coast, just as near to Liverpool as Dublin is to that port. Twenty millions of dollars will make Ireland our Gibraltar; every one of her Innumerable harnors will be bases for our navy; vn.ouu men anil fzu,uou,uuu make Ireland our iron-clad and every Irishman, the world over, our soldier. W hat interest is thlB to us 7 While this lasts, the House of Commons has no lack of motive to do Justice to Ireland. "By indirection lind direction out'' acknowledge mo t unan move ment.

Let England know that the very llrst moment she Ures a cannon to obstruct freedom or bar us from holding up struggling na tions, we shall encamp in Dublin. If the thought does no other good, It will surely hasten Justice to Ireland, and meanwhile preserve the peace and help mightily towards the enfranchisement of the world. vv kmiki.l ruii.i.n-. MUTINY. American Sailors Arreted on the Hitch Sens tor luuruer. In December. 1S67. the barque Java, commanded by Captain Charles Ketnpton, left Massachusetts on a' whaling voyage to the South Polar Sea. At tho Capo ere Islands the captain added nine Portu guese sailors to bis crew, and sailed for the Indian ocean, l no men now miner arrest say mm, 111 visiting another ship, one of the Portuguese was ac cidentally drowned, which displeased the captain so greatly that he placed another of the crew, whom he chose 10 noiu rcsponsioie ior me ucatn 01 me lost sailor, in irons for forty-eight hours. This con duct and the captain's alleged refusal to furnish good provisions, and the abusive conductor tho third mate, provoked tue rest 01 the crew so inucn mat they resolved to be revenged. A number ot them anueu vnemseives wun niuugeons ana nrewooa Mucks, caught the third mate as he came from his quarters, and beat him so unmercifully on his head that lie expired in a few hours. Bates, the hrst mate, attempted to protect ins brother officer, but was so severely Injured that his recovery is doubtful. The chief actors in this dreadful tragedy, James W. Kobinson, James Canning, Benjamin Harrison, Wil liam J. Parker, Benjamin Seflon, and John Brulcn. then deserted the ship in a whaling bunt, and rowed direct for Tlmore, taking with them a small amount or rood. Alter oemg at sea six days their provisions gave out, and they had to work for the three following days with out rood. Arriving at Tlmore, which belongs to the Dutch and Portuguese, they were in a pitiable plight. Some hospitable Dutch families discovered them Iving on shore, gave them temporary relief, pur chased their boat for 120 rupees, and despatched ihem to Deli, the chief city of thu Island. On their arrival there, they stated they were shipwrecked mariners; but a Portuguese revenue officer doubting their veracity, persuaded them to go to Java in a steamer. Ha ing lauded at Java they were arrested by order of the American Consul, and placed in prison In Soro, a town in the bay of Java. 11 ere they remained for live mouths; and they assert that Bnilce tiled from Ill-treatment and exposure in damp cells. From Soro they were transmitted to Batavia and put on board the Russian barque New Orleans, for conveyance to New York, on the 2Kth of last November. The barque put in at I'adang, in the Island of Sumatra, and the men were imprisoned lor a mouth, while the vessel was taking in cargo. The New Orleans arrived ut this port yester day, having the men on board In good health. They were sent to the Ludlow Street Prison pending their trial for the murder of the llrst and third mates. The men have received excellent characters from their own captain, as well as from the captain or officer of the barque New Orleans. They are all young, and while admitting that "two of their crowd" killed their mates, refuse to divulge the names of the murderers. They complain of the harsh treatment they received on board their vessel and while in Jail, aud seem eager to have their case disposed or. .V. 1', Tribune f thin vurrniiiil.

He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and was called to the Irish bar in 1797. Distinguishing himself in his profession, he was, in 1K19, appointed a Bencher of Klug's Inns, and In 1W was elected a member of Parliament for the Univer sity of Dublin, which he continued to represent in the conservative interest till 1830, when ho was elevated to the post of Baron of the Kxchequer In Ireland. For faithful service in this capacity he was, In 1X2, promoted to the t hief Justiceship of Ireland, which office he held till lsoo, when the infirmities of age compelled him to retire. Unlike Grattan, Flood, O 'Council, and other eminent Irishmen or shining rorensic talents aud remarkable ublllty as Parlia mentary orators, his sympathies were always on the side ot the Government, despite Its persistent refusal to do Justice to Ireland, and he received his reward in the honors aud emoluments that were from time to time heaped upon him.

TUB NKW HKOISTRY LAW. This morning George W. Biddle, Esq., came Into Court and asked the Court tor instructions as to the duties ot the assessors, under the new lteglstry act, n regard to the persons whom they are to omit, the principal point of inquiry being upon that portion of the 27th section which, after requiring the assessors to make out an alphalictical list of persons keeping hotels, taverns, sailors' boarding-houses, and restau rants, goes on to say: "And in making out the aforesaid lists the assessors shall not place thereon the luuue of any person boarding at any hotel, tav ern, sailors' boarrtlng-nonse, or restanrant, or mc name of any person who is not a qualliied elector, having a nxen residence in me nivision. This is an important notiiL for It is to settle the difficult as to what boarders at publio houses are qualified electors with the required resldeuoe, and what are not In New York It was said that the election tricksters frequently put upon the list names of persons who hail been guest at hotels and taverns, and procuring others to vote tinder these ' names.

About 8 o'clock last Saturday morning he was ob served skulking alsnit a market In Spring Garden street, and a butcher, who undertook to watch him, saw him steal a quantity of butter, and at once took him into custody.

( There is only moderate activity in the local Money market, and the supply of funds is fur iu excess of the business wants of the community. Some attempts have been made by New York operators to get up the appearances of a strin gency to bear down the prices of stocks; it was only partially successful in advancing the price of loans on call to 7 per cent, gold interest, but even this rate, if it could be relied on for a few days, would be an incentive to our bankers and private lenders to ship their funds to New York for Investment, for the sake of the higher rate obtained. To-day call loans are very easy nt 5(o 6 per cent, on Government bonds and at 67 per cent, ou miscellaneous securities. Discounts are rather quiet, aud, with an active inquiry for prlmo paper, makers are able to re gulate their own terms. The range is from 68 per cent, for well-endorsed bills, but for inferior the figures have a higher and much wider range. Government securities are weak and exhibit a downward tendency In prices. Tho gold market continues firm, and is on the advance. The market opened nt 136 and at 11 A. M. was quoted ut 13ti, with a strong upward tendency. The speculative feeling among stock opera tors is still very lively, and there appears to be little chnuce for any abatement. Iu State loans no sales were reported. City sixes were in good request, and sold at 98 for the old, and 101 for the new. The Lehigh gold loan changed bauds at94?94.;.

"The money market was active In the early part of the day at 7 per cent, currency, and In some few cases as high as 7 per cent, gold., but later the sup ply was so abundant that. 7 per cunt, currency was the general rate, aud ut the close loans were made at 6 per cent. Prime business notes are wanted at 7 to 9 per cent, according to the date of maturity. The attempt of the stock-jobbing cliques to make thu money market tight has tailed, as might have been expected at this season. Tim banks are gaining iu currency, ami they are more disposed to accommo date their customers. "The Government bond market was quiet but firm early In the day, and after tho last board became strong and advanced; 1807s being 11T bid, buyer 30, and sales at 116 V regular. "The foreign exchange market was dull, and some bond bills were sold, sight sterling, at 109V. Prime bankers' sixty-day sterling were sold at 109 v, and the quotations range from 109',' to 109V' aud sight 109V to Wf. "The gold market was steady and ranged from 135W to I'm opening at 136V, and closing at 1354 at 8P.M. The rates paid for carrying were 1-32,6, 9,7,8, IX, and 10 per cent. After the board ad mriied the quotations were 130. to 135V at &-30 '"To-morrow (Thursday) the Assistant Treasurer will leoci"" roposalH for the purcli-ia of Govern ment gold till 12 noon. The payments to-day on ac count of gold interest were $1,216,942." From. th4 Herald. "The stock market was greatly excited yesterday over a farther and heavy decline in prices. The movement Inaugurated by the 'bears' In the begin ning of tho week has been astonishingly successful and the change of front has extended to both sides of the street. Operations in Wall street are at tlmiM like the ebb and flow of the tide, and the main strength of operator ou either side determines which direction the current shall take. In this case tha cliques were unanimous for a fall. The consti tutional 'bears' were, of course, immensely pleaded, while the constitutional 'bulls,' falling iu with the movement as one against which it were vain to strug gle, swelled the stream, liver since the middle of wiuter prices have Bteadlly risen ou the Stock Kx chatige. The tide has been three or four months on the flood. It was a favorable opportunity, therefore, ior a reversal of the course of prices. The great cliques have started everything ou a downward turn, and the ebb appears to have begun. Money was mude active iu order to assist their oMrutlous, but the attempt to tighten it has not proved successful. The growing abundance of funds In the metropolis at this season of the year precludes the hope of suc cess for such strategy. The money market was easy at the close to-day. Hut Its reaction will hardly slay the decline In stocks, for the impression Is general that they must go down, and every one M for the time being a 'bear.' This condition of things is a curious commentary on the character of present day speculation. The values of the Stock Kxchange are to such an extent fictitious, or so concealed iu the gambling operations of the cliques, that legiti mate Investment is entirely at fault iu Its efforts to sock locanou. -rue great mass or parchment, scrip, and securities which constitute one half or the Inherited resource of hundreds or families are tossed about like a rootball between the rival interests or Wall street Money makes money. The larger the aggregation of capital the greater Its capacity for increase In Wall street. It is sufe to say that hundreds of thousands of dollars have been lost since Monday morning last hv those whom the swelling prices of the stock market'during the spring induced to venture their margins at the moment when flgurcB were at their highest anil when it suited the cliques to sell and go 'short,' The long purses of these capitalists give them the power to withstand an unfavorable turn even when the tide or popular reeling becomes, as it sometimes will, temporarily unmanageable. Iu the long rnn they prevail against their opponents in tho 'outside public,' who are numerically stronger, but Unanclally weaker, and are, through their lack or organization, more easily swayed by panicky reelings. In such a general movement on the part or the cliques they act deliberately and with skill. A starting point for a decline Is just as essential as a rallying point for a rise. The bete turir selected for tho campaign to-day was New York Central, which, from the prominence given to it for several months past, was most likely to lead the list, A vigorous attack upon It, ac companied by telegraphic announcement from Al bany that the Scrip bill would tail in the Senate, car ried It down three per cent. Hudson River and Harlem, its par tuibile fratrum, followed suit. The sapping of the lines now la-came easy. Fort Wayne staggered, recovered again, and fought desperately, but yielded at last. Rock Island was an easy victim. Heading gave some trouble, but fell after a short struggle. The Northwestern stocks were obstinate, and pleaded their merits us 'desirable Investments,' but In vain. Michigan Southern and Lake Shore, strong in a common cause of consolidation, were tenacious, aud yielded comparatively little. Mari posa was hardly molested, as it was considered easy or conquest at any moment. Meanwhile more stub born roes occupied the attention ot the raiders. The attack halted at noon, and under the cessation of operations, and through an easier feeling In monev towards the close of banking hours, the prostrate stocks sought to rise. Nhe recuperated 'bears' re newed the onslaught, and. beginning again with New York Central forced It down to 170 . The 'break,' extending through the list, resulted In a further general decline of from one-half to two per cent. The two exceptions were Pacific Mall and Illinois Central. Elsewhere dismay and ruin prevailed as darkness closed In upon the Unanclol battle-field. "Money, during the earlier hours of business, was In good demand at the full legal rate, and some hasty borrowers and Jweak houses paid as high as gold interest The supply was abundant after 2 o'clock, and lenders had difficulty in placing all their balances at seven per cent Tho activity has worked Inju riously to the commercial Interest, whose paper is less requisition, and hence offering higher rates of discount A few days since the pressure was rrom the buyers, end rates In extreme quotations declined to Beveu jier cent With the change in the money market there is more paper offering, and the pres sure is rather rrom makers, rates ranging rrom eight to ten per cent for prime double name ac ccptanccs."

On Ledger place, a small thoroughfare running off Second street, below Third, is situated a large five story building, owned by Harvey & Ford, turners in Ivory, bone, and hard wood, and occupied for vari ous purposes by several firms. About 4 o'clock this morning smoke was discovered Issuing from the ex treme northeastern window of tha fifth story. The alarm was quickly given, to which the tiremea as quickly responded, and to their timely arrival is owing the fact that the entire structure was not de stroyed, together with much valuable property which surrounds it While several streams were kept directed on the flames, the remaining companies which were present turned their attention to the adjoining buildings, alt of which were saved. The tire burned stubUirnly for a long time, but It was kept confined to the fifth story, all or which suffered considerable damage. This apartment was occupied by William Mann as a printing establishment In it were two Hoe cylinder and five Gordon presses, and one or the finest stocks or type ; also a very large stock of paper, most of which was In the process of printing. The machinery was valued at $20,000 and the stock at $10,000. One or the rooms was nsed as a bindery, which was com pletely burned out The presses were badly da maged.
