In a late issue wo published some remarks on the opinion of Judgo Black, “that in all offences created by law stnce the adaption oftho Constitution, the LoglMaturehad thepower to abolish the cpnstltntlonsirlght of trial by jury,” An attempt has been made, to support this ex traordinary .opinion by citing oases from the I law reports, which have no application what ' ever to the constitutional qnostion, under our State Constitution, and under tho great princi ple in Magna Charts. Tho only Pennsylvania decision bearing on the case is that pro nounced by Okiof Justice Gibson, in tho case of Batter'rs. tho Commonwealth, reported in the third volume of the Pennsylvania Reports, by Penrose' & itatts, pago 260. In that caso Chief Justice Gibson,. speaking of the uncon stitulionality of summary convictions, in cases not in use at t"ho adoption of tho Constitution, atatos that, “ tho foundation of the princi ple is. said in Clark’s caso to be tho oflen quotod provision in Magna Oharta, that no freeman shall bo taken or imprisoned unless by the lawful judgment of his peers, or -tlio law of the land; tho substance of which is secured to us in the Bill of Bights. Now,” Bays tho Chief Justicoj >*if tho chartor (of tho city) | even purported to confer a power to imprison on. summary co nviclion, and without appeal to a jury, it would be to far unconstitutional and void.” It isthereforeplain, from this decision, that Judge Black’s opinion was not only sub- I versivo of constitutional right, and dangorous to tho doarcßt liberties of tho poople, but it was in opposition t® tho rule of stare decisis. j and contrary to a previous decision of the highest authority in tho State. "Wo do not profess to be loamed in tho tech nicalities of tho law, or In'tho numerous deci sions In tho law books. But all our roadors have common sense enough to know that if the Legislature may create what new ofTences they please, and abolish tho trial by jury in all such eases, the constitutional protection, so much boasted of as the bulwark of our liberties, is uot worth a straw. So far from using disre spectful language towards Judge Black In re ference to Ihis'opinion, wo excuse him on the ground of ignorance; for, as ho does nof refer to the decision of Chief Justice Gibson, and as his duties required him to abide by.lt, If be knew its existence, we presume that he was ignorant that such a docisloh.had been mado. ' Tho effort to support Judge BlaOK’s gross out rago on common sense, 'as well as on plain constitutional right, by tho allegation that somo of the other judges concurred in it, is an acknowledgment that tho decision cannot stand on its own merits. Every ono knows that the judges who merely concur in a deci sion aro not responsible for tho reasoning ol l the one who undertakes to deliver tho opinion. Wo have not found fault with tho judgment si tho court in the caso of Van Swabtow vs. The Commonwealth. That may havo boon right for othor reasons than those stated by Judgo Black.- It does not follow from tho silence of tho other judges that they concurred in -all the sophistries of the judge who wroto tho opinion. To illustrate this principle, we may refer to the celebrated case of Passhobe Williamson, reportod in second volume of Casey’s Reports, pago 18. The decision there, in jvhlcli tho majority of tho judges concurred, was that, on a habeas corpus, tho Supremo Court of Pennsylvania had no right to reverse a conviction for con tempt in tho District Court of tho United States. Tho District Court of the United States was not amenable to tho State court for ! tho regularity of its proceedings; and if it were, a writ of habeas corpus was not tho pro per writ to review and roverso (ho decision. But Judge Black, with tho recklessness pecu liar to his ill-organized mind, boldly declares (list “ tho authority,lo deal with an offender of this class belongs exclusively to tho court in which tho offcnco is committed; end no other court, not oven the highest, can intor foro with its oxerciso, either by writ of error, mandamus, or habeas corpus. If the power be abused, there is no remedy but impeach ment.” This extraordinary and alarming doc trine did more than anything else to cre ate dissatisfaction with the decision in Pass mobs Williamson's case. But tho alarm ing principle asserted by Judge Black was unnecessary to tho decision, was not con curred in by tho other judges, and was aiter unanimously ovortnlod by tho wholo Commonwealth vb. Newton, reported in the lat volume of Grant’a Roporta, pago 454, the fears of the people were quieted by the recog nition of tho principle that tho decisions of subordinate courts, even In convictions for contempt, wore subject to correction m the proper Supremo Court, having uppcllato juris diction. On tho whole, tho doctrine of J - lid go ButcK in Van Swahtow’s caso is unsupported by precedent, unsanctioned by tho other judges, contrary to tho express language of tho Con stitution, and soandalonsiy subversive of tho right of trial by Jury. We are perfectly will ing to trust this question to tho intelligent law yers and laymen of the nation. They do not require a string of cases to lend them to a cor rect decision whero, as in this case, tho prin ciple is so clear that it vindicates itself. An Anglo.lnsh Confederation. We publish In another portion of to-day’s Press an article from the now Journal, A r etes from Homt, the first number of which was is sued In this city on Saturday last. It will, we think, recommend itself to all of our readers who are In the habit of watching and specula ting upon European affairs, especially thoso with whom the politics of Groat Britain and Iroland, and their relations to tlio continent of Europe, form a subjoct of attraction or con sideration. The articlo, which we have transferred to our columns, though giving a succinct and graphic review of the general position of the great European nations, has especial reference to the position of England to Europe, in tho first placo, and or Ireland to England, in tho second. The suggestions thrown out for tho settling of tho differences betwcon Great Bri tain and Ireland upon grounds which would bo mutually advantageous strike us as boing statesmanlike and judicious. Tlio object of tho writer may he impracticable, when wo con sider tho courso England has always pur/mod towards Iroland; hut thou, again, tho present European crisis may bo such as to warrant tho deep consideration of such a project by ovou so haughty a nation as England. At all events, tho views aro' novel, and stated with groat force. To us, the writer’s point seems to ho the Americanization, if possible, and so far as a confederacy of independent States goes, of tho British Islands. The 'subject must be deeply interesting to a groat mass of poopio, and will attract considerable attention. The l.ntest Novelty in Fashion. Tho very latest novelty in Fashion, wo moan In feminine dress-captivation, la roportod to have boon philosophically observed, if not first discovered, on tho south or sunny side of Chestnut street, on Saturday afternoon. A lady, very handsomoly attired, and with Taco and flgnro to match, was obsorved on that well frequented promenade. On the little flngor of her left hand she daintily wore, over hor prim rose-tinted Jouvin, a handsomq diamond ring —tho brilliant sot in blue enamel, which showed it oil very prettily. To tho under part of tills ring was attached a Vene tian chain of the purest gold, terminating in another ring, set allaronnd jvith Jewels of diverse quality, hue, and lnstre. Through this • a delicate kerchief of laco, with the exception of about two squaro inches in tho centre just enough to swear by, as tho saying is—was passed, and the whole was penicle from tho minor digital, aforementioned, and really had a pretty effect. The design was to provido a new way of carrying tho mmchoir, which would leave the hand diseiigaged, and yet display the beauty of the I&cc or embroidery.

The locality of Brownsville, Texas, ren dered famous during tha war against Moxico, on account of Its importance as a military po sition at the commencement of .that conflict, now attracts almost equal attention through the dangors which menace it, and the doubt already existing in regard to its fate. For several months it has boen oomplotcly over awed by tho outlaw Cobtinas, and its citizens kept in constant dread of a successful assault. On tho 28tlr of September last, J. A. Baowx, sheriff of Cameron county, Texas, wrote a letter to tho commandant of Matamoros, tho .Mexican town opposite Brownsville, staling that Cobtinas and his hordo had attacked tho latter town, killed four of lior citizens, and threatened to sack and bum it, and asking *bo Mexican colonel for military aid. Col. AuftcitLEs replied,, ou tho samo day, that not only the troops subject to his order, but all tho good citizens of Matamoroß would bo willing to assist in tho defonco of Brownsville wheuovcr their sorvices wore necessary. On tho 3d of October, Col. Aboeilles wrote to liis official superior, tho Governor of Tamauli pas, stating that bo had despatched to Browns ville one hundred armed mon and ono four, pounder to aid in the protection of her citi zens, and he roccivcd a reply, dated October 10th, telly approving of bis proceedings. Those friendly acts clearly indicate a dis position on tho part of tho Mexican authori ties to aid in the .protection .of their American neighbors i but on tho other hand, various ac counts from the sccno of difficulties stale that imong the masses of tho Mexican population i strong feeling of hostility to tho Americans exists. It is certain that many of thorn have joined tho predatory band of Cobtikas. Con victs have escaped from somo of tho Mexican prisons and swelled liis ranks. Tho postmaster at Brownsville, in a letter to the J’ost Oflico Department, dated November 2, says tho war is emphatically « one of races and a war of exterminationthat “ death to Americans” is the cry in the streets of Matamoros, and that it goes unrebnked; so that tho comparatively small military foreo of the Mexicans, even il'it possesses a sincere intention to protect tho Americans, will ho powerless to resist a deter mined onslaught from a largo body of tho Mexican population under tho lead of Cor cisas. Tho Brownsville postmaster, iu tho samo letter, announces that a number of mail carriers have been made prisoners by Cob tinas ; that many of tho mails duo liavo consequently not arrivod, and that he has boon obliged to close tho mails on certain routes, as any attempt to send them would certainly fall. Tho acting postmaster at Kudyville, tho neighborhood of which was robbod, lind bare ly escaped with his life, and tho mnils in that vicinity had all boon rifled. At tho date ot his letter parts of tho town were barricaded, and ovety man was obliged to Btand guard to protect it. Tho scouts of Cobtinas sur rounded tho town. More tbnn fifty of them had been counted from ono housetop. They had robbed nearly eveiy rancho within a rango of thirty miles, and they commanded the coun try without dispute up to within .four hundred yards or tho market of Brownsville. Tho Cor pus Christ! Rancho, of the 7th inst., stated that that city was also in danger, but this report has since boen contradicted. • The telegrapl announced, on Saturday, that Cohtinas, witli fifteen hundred >nen and nine cannon, has till! possession of tho Rio Grande, from Browns ville to Homo, and that Captain Tobin, witli ono hundred men from Corpus Christ!, who was marching to tho relief of Brownsviilo, had been defeated. While all these alarming reports are circu lated, it is some gratification to know that in telligence has been receivod at Now Orloans that Brownsville continued to hold out up to tho night of tho 3d inst., although her citizons were, uo doubt, in a state of great exhaustion, from their long.Qontinued watchfulness and oxposure to danger. Their posifi on is a mo dem imitation of that of the citizens of tho walled cities of ancient times, who, when boleagucrod by hostile armies, hopefully trusted to thoir strong towers, while lor woary days they scanned with lingering eyes tho horizon for tokens of relief from friends in distant quarters. Such relief, it is to he hoped, will not bo long In reaching them. In addition to the artillery company ordered from Baton Rouge, two companies of United States rangers by tho Governor of Texas; and an officer with sixty men left San Antonio on the Ist inst., for the scone of distort co. Col. Robert E. Lkk, who succeeded Gen. Twiaus in the command of tho department of Toxae, is a bravo and accomplished officer, and will doubtless do everything in his power to rescue the American citizens of tho threatened dis trict from thoir present danger, and to restore .penco and tho authority of our Government. The announcement roado in tho St. Louis. Republican, that tho Administration has deter mined to seizo upon tho Northern States of Mexico as an offset to the predatory operations of ConriNAS, is perhaps unauthorized. If true, it indicates a very peculiar policy. Corti.vas has certainly no more connection with tho legal authorities of Moxico than tho filibusters which this country has sent forth from time to time have had with our Govcrnmont j and what would we think of a proposal on tho part of Spain to 6eize Florida as an offset to the at. tempt of our filibusters to dostroy the Span, ish control ovor Cuba 1 Letter from “Occasional.” [Corrsspondsaoa of Tho Press.] IVisniyoTOW, November 20,1650. Georgs W.

Douglas and his associates, lie pledged bis word and hie honor to snch a construction of tho Kansas-Nobraska bill, and of tho Cincinnati platform, upon whioh it was based, as accords entiroly with tho position you now occupy and havo occupied from the begin ning. When it is proposed, thorofuro, to retreat from this construction; when from the South comes a declaration that no such meaning was intended, and that we must havo other legislation in the vory last degree offensive to Northern sentiment, and io all the covenant* of tho party since 1854,Georgo W. Jones comes forward and iusists that the bond shall be compiled with. Ho tells the South that they cannot retire from tho contract, and that, for his part, ho Is for standing up to it faithfully. That whioh is denounced as a heresy in. Douglas—that which the craven Administration mercenaries in tho North eagerly ridicule and reject—George W. Jones declares to be the true Democratic principle. Ho eaystbatr“itwasthe undorstandlngof Congress and the loading Demoorata of the South at tho time of tho enactment of the Kansns-Nobraska bill, and in the campaign of 1850, that the people of tho Territories, during their Senatorial condition, could, Ufa those of a State, determino for themselves whether they wouldhavo slavery or not.” The ver dict of such a man outweighs a thousand of the floroe invectives of suoli organs as the Charleston 'Mercury, and I havo no doubt that it will hero csived by the Democracy of Tonneaseo, as every thing that falls from tho lips of George W. .Jones is always received, with the warmest favor. The friends of Charles James F&ulknor, late Re presentative from tho Harper’s Ferry, Va., dis trict, are urging with great warmth, his appoint ment to the vacant Fronch mission, and I would not be surprised if they sucoooded in their efforts.

Allan A. Hall, who shot and killed Mr. Polndex* tor, the editor of the Administration organ, the Union at Nashville, Tennessee, a few days ago, is woll known in ibis city. He held office, I think, under Fillmore’s Administration, and was connect ed with George B. Gideon’s RtjntUit. Tho bit terness betweon the newspapers In Nashville has been kept np for many years, and that city has been celebrated in f&ot, for its etreet-llghts, from tho days of General Jackson to tho present time. More than ono valuable lifo has thus been snori- I fieed. Several of tho former editors of tho Union \ havo been wounded, and, I think, ono or two killed! Heretofore tho difficulties havo grown out ! of editorial contests between the old AVhig organ— | tba Manner— and the Donooratic organ. Tho lato fight, however, was betweon Mr. Hall, who is tho editor of a paper established not long ago, called tho jVirtr#, and Mr. Poiudoxter of tho Union, The News, after pursuing a neutral course, ho. came an Opposition journal, and has been latterly criticising, with great severity, tho State Adminis tration.

I notice that somo of tho religious papers are taking grounds against tho present plan of rotating the sorvicos of the clorgymen of Washington city in opening tho proceedings of the House and do nate.

Tho two hint for her bonofit, on Saturday evening— Mrrbcth, tho character in which eho first rnado her American roputation, in this very theatre, and the other for tbo third time in fivo nights—so groat was the popularity of this truly wonderful representation. [Here, talk ing of the benefit, let us say that this was no ficti tious show, but brought ovtr seven hundred dob larjt rath, receipts 1 The performance of Lady Macbeth was, wo think, even finer than when we previously saw it, though It is difficult to say in what tho improvement consists. As for Meg Merrilies, a greater creature on the stage, as shown by Mrs. Waller, than mated by Scott in tho novel—and this Id no treason against tho genius of tho Ariosto ot the North—all criticism upon it resolve* itself iuto throe words—U Is won derful. We felt vexed, when wo saw that weird woman eome on, at the loss of time caused by flho representation of the first aot of tho play of ** Guy attitades so ploturevqao; tbs tone, so tiuphaiic and until nil; the glance bo power fnl in Its fnsolnn tion; the conviction that the rnling Fate would work out tho fulfilment of tho Bertram propbocy I tho strong courage, the pathetie fidelity, which re ceives its martyrdom in a doath-socne of un equalled effect—theso combine to make this tho greatost Meg Merriltes over seen upon the stage.

Two benefits aro announced at Walnut-street Thentro for this woek. lHace aux Dames so we notice Mrs. Cowell’s first. On Wednesday evo nlng she will tako hor benefit: tho performances boing “Retributton,” “Smiko,”- from Nicholas Niokleby, and theburlesquoof “Geraldlneo.” Mrs. Cowell will play Smile. Is she not too plump and protty t>r that starveling? Sho merits a full house, and will have it, wo hope. Mr. Reach, stage-manager, to whose supervision and indefatigable attention tho audience, as woll as the actors, aro so constantly and largely indebt ed, has his benefit to-night. First, Vlotor Hugo’s “ Ruy Bios,” translated from the French, (by Mti damo Julie de Marguerites, it is said,) sud adapted for our stage. It was writtou in 1858 for Frederic Lemnitro, and played one hundred and sixty suc cessive nights. Mr. Roach will piny tho horo, and tho Queen will find a graceful and effective repre sentative in Mrs. Cowell. There will also bo a bur lowjuo upon tho play of “ Geraldine Frank Drew playing tho humpbaoked hero : ne! Akch-sthebt Thbatrb.—“ Dot,” which closed Us career hero on Friday evening, with great eclat. was guccoodod, on Saturday, by tho rovivAl, with alterations, of one of the Into William MoncriefFa oneo popular dramas. When produced by him, it was called “ Rocbestor,” we boliove, but at New York, whonooitwas received hero, it was called “The Fast Mon of the Olden Time.” It was put upon tho stage in Mr. Wheatloy’s host manner, which Is vory good. As for tho plot, we might «ay. with Canuing’s Weary Knife-grinder— Story ? Lord Me*« yon, I liai e none to tell, itir.’ 1 Iu foot, thero is scarcely a plot, but thcro aro numerous sconce, full of lifo, fan, equivoquo, and eccentricity, which kopt the uudionco in almost a continuous laugh. • Moreovor, there are soverAl good situations, and each act ends with ono of thoso. The finale, when the characters, charmingly #« costume as ehopherds and shepherdesses, dance around the Maypolo, has as pretty a etago effoot as anything that '-An well bo imagined, and, of itself, is worth going to the theatre to seo. Mr. Wheat ley played wicked and agreeable Rochester to tho life, and Mr. Dolman’s Buckingham had a good deal of dash In it, which camo unoxpeotedly but pleasantly from this gentlomau. Mr. John Gilbert Muddle, and Mr. Wal lis (wheeo Tacileton in “Dot” was so much admired for Its truth) mado a good doal horo of tho littlo cha racter of Starvemouse, a mieer. Then, there was Mr. Clarke, eccentric and uuliko the usual Clarke, as RoeJuister's valet—a quaint bit of acting bis was; and oven Mr. G. Stoildart, uho eommenly is pretty much in tho timbor line, was mpootablo, and oven moro than that, an tho stroller. Passing on to tho ladies, we havo to pay that Mrs. John Drow, as tbo Countess, looked ns if she had scarcely got out of hor teens, and played with spirit and truth, as usual. Miss Emma Taylor, not being called upon for any groat emotional dis play, was at ease in the part of Lady Gay. Lastly,'Mrs. Stoddart was au excellent represent ative of the heiress, and surely Mrs. Gilbert’s Aunt Rebecca is not to be forgotten. This drama, so excellently mounted and performed, is certainly destined to havo a run at tho Arch. Wo doubt wbethor it can bo better played or placed at Wal laces. Mr. Whoatloy may safely qarry it on until Christmas, when, no doubt, ho wilt havo something novel and racy for tho holidays.
