Washington correspondent of the Herale ''says: I can give you some interesting facts in eon. root:son with the resent action of the French resi dents of New Orleans with reference to removing from that city. By the " French residents " your readers must not understand the creole population, who are indigenous, but that largo and very re ,!peotable floating class of Frenchmen who come Item France to New Orleans to deal in cotton and other commodities suited to the European market. These individuals come, with their wives and feral - ties, to speed three, five, or ten years, according to circumstances, and always return to their own country after acquiring a competency. They form an active and Intelligent class of business men. They axe largely backed by capital from the other side, end add much, in good times, to the life and bustle and activity ofthe Crescent City. Now, this ohms have suffered severely from the utter stagna tien in affairs caused by the blockade of the Missis sippi. In feet, they have had literally nothing to de. Besides, they were cut off from com munication with herein and have. been put to _their wits' - emds to 'know what course to take. A majority desired to 'leave Now Orleans in the summer; but the citizens were so confident that the blockade, would be raised in October that they would not permit the question to be argued. It was “certain," and anybody who doubted it was an enemy to the Confederate States of America. They - succeeded in inducing a similar belief in the minds of the Frenchmen—not without seine misgivings, which, however, it was not prudent to letter. Well, October passed and November came. The inhabi tants had giventhe matter ep. The blockade was not to be raised, and the French families were pre paring to leave when the Mason and Slidell seizure filled the whole South with joy. The French were periled, What wee to be dono ? They took a very commonsense course. They] sent one of their number to Washington to solicit an interview with Monsieur Mercier and to get from the minister whatever information he chose to afford. The individual selected for the mission reached Washington the day after Mr. Seward's communication to Lord Lyons that Mason and Sli dell would, be given up. Ile called on Monsieur Mercier, stated the exact situation of the French residents in New Orleans, and the embarrassmenta they labored under, growing out of the doubt and uncertainty about the question of blookade, and asking for some light on the subject. The minister replied, without the least reserve: Franco will not interfere with the blockade in order to get cot - ton: She will not interfere unless a cos should arise which should justify an interference. Eng land bad a one in the seizure of Mason and Slidell, but that is now happily settled." The Frenchman bad achieved the object of his mission, and made the best of his way back to New Orleans.' The meeting held on the 10th explains the rest. - The Near Secretary elWar—A Chapter in - his History The S. Lords R epudli can. Lys A year ago, when General Cass—grieved and indignant—left Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet, Mr. At torney General Black was transferred to the port folio of State, and Mr. Stanton, then absent from Washington, was fixed upon as Attorney General. The same night ho arrived at a late hour. and learned from his family of his appointment. Knowing the character of the bold, bad mon then in the ascendency in 'the Cabinet, ho determined at once to decline; but when, the next day, he announced his resolution at, the White House, the entreaties of the distressed and helpless President, and the arguments of Mr. Black, prevailed upon him to accept. - At the first meeting of the Cabinet which he at tended, the condition of the seceded States and the course to be pursued with the garrison at Fort Sumpter were discussed, Floyd and Thompson dwelling upon "the irritation of the Southern heart" and the folly of it continuing a useless gar rison to increase the irritation." No ono formally proposed any course of action, but the designs of the conspirators were plain to tho new Attorney General. Ile went home troubled. Ile bad in tended, coming in at so late an hoar, to remain a quiet member of this discordant council. But it wan not in his nature to sit quiet longer under such utterances. The nest meeting was a long and stormy one, Mr. Bolt, feebly seconded by the President, urging the immediate reinforcement of Sumpter, while Thompson, Floyd, and Thomas. contended that a quasi-treaty bad been made by the officers of the Government with the leaders of the rebellion, to offer no resistance to their violations of law and genres of Government property. Floyd especially blazed with indignation at what he termed the "violation of honor." Aired, Mr. Thompson flit. molly moved that an imperative order be issued to Major Anderson to retire from Sumpter to Fort Moultrie, abandoning Sumpter to the enemy, and proceeding to a poet where he must at once Aar reoder. , Stanton could sit still no longer, and, rising, he said, with all the earnestness that could be ex pressed in his bold and resolute featires, "Mr. President, it is my duty, as your legal adviser, to say that you have no right to give up the pro perty of the Government, or abandon the soldiers of the United States to its enemies; and the course proposed by the Secretary of tho Interior, .1f followed, is treason, and will involve you and all concerned in treason," Sash language had never before been heard in Buchanan's Cabinet, 'and the men who had so long ruled and bullied the President were surprised and 'enraged to be thus rebuked. Floyd and Thompson sprang tO their feet with fierce, menacing gestures, seem/ ins about to assault Stanton Mr. Halt took a step forward to the side of the Attorney General. The imbecile President implored them piteously to take their seats. After a few more bitter words the meeting broke up. That was tho last Cabinet ing on that exciting question in which Floyd parti-, eipated. Before another was called all Washington was Startled with a rumor of those gigantic frauds which have made his name so infamous. At first he tried to brazen it out with his customary blustering manner; but the next day the Cabinet waited long for his appearance. At lot he came; the door opened, his resignation was thrust into the room, and Floyd disappeared from Washington. Soh was the end 61 Floyd and the beginning of Stanton. Iron Plates for War Vessels A late 114103 of the New York Evening Posf contained a leader relative to the manufacture of plates for iron-clad war vessels, but having more direct reference to the twenty vessels, speeitinations for the construction of which have been distributed by the Navy Department. The article dwells par ticularly on the supposed inability of this country to produce the quantity of . plates required for those vemels r and advocates the immediate appropriation, by Congress, of 8.250,000 to establish a rolling-mill to manufacture there ' "just as we already have na tional armories," butit quite innocently drifts into a first-class notice of the wonderful fact, that the Trenton Iron Company, of New Jersey, was the pioneer in the manufacture of heavy iron dook beams,- do., and of their ability to roll iron in messes of one ton weight. It then says : "In four months the Trenton Iron Company would undertake to begin rolling the plates." It might possibly began, but when it would make any, may be inferred from another extract from the same article : When we consider that the first iron beam was rolled In this country in 1854, seven menthe after all the heaviest machinery needed for the purpose bad been put up, all that time being required to arrange the minor details, and accustom the workmen to handle Ruh masses as a ton weight of iron," do. Now, from this quotation, it ie evident that if it took seven months to "an, range minor details," and accustom men already ekilled workers in iron, to handle masses of ores ton weight, the experience thus acquired is by no means .00nclusive of ability to handle MOMS of nearly four -tons Weight (for such would be the weight of the plates now required by the Government), and "ar range minor eetads." Indeed, if no other source of knowledge existed on the subject, the foots thus given would show that no works can be erected, and commence to furnish plates of the heavy weight required, Inside of twelve months, In the face of the fact that England is now experimenting on . plates of greatly increased weight and dimensions • to, those now used, works constructed in the hasty - minter Indicated by the Post would probably prove utterly insufficient to produce plates of such -size as the improvements of other countries would compel this Government to adopt., But there is no need to Make an appropriation to. purchase the works of the Trenton Iron Company, or to establish a monopoly of the manufacture of the nlatos for the iroteelad vessels. lost the Government Call upon the enterprise of the whole country, by accepting propositions for the plates alone, instead of restricting proposals for the furnishing of all the Iron work complete, to - final shape and finish of the vessels, which work is of varied and complex de zeription, and is the -especial business of the ma- Mahn. An iron manufacturer could not undertake it. If the, Post's recommendation to establiaki mill to manufacture the plates is carried into effect, an arrangement twist be made with maobinists to yews and At them to the vessels. Irthe Government would make that arrange ment now, and take the plates as they Would come .from the bands - of -the iron manufacturer, a full in=could soon be had from machinery now in on. An erroneous impression is likely to be treated by 'the Poet's statement, that fourteen thousand toes of plated are required for the twenty veseels," - and it may be supposed the whole quantity is to he plates of such extraordinary weight that they Mend be produced without the erection of a .mpeolal ; but this not the case, as not half of the_ Iplantity is of such description that mills now in operation could not produce them. .

THE ALLEGED CONSPIRACY CASE.--4 ester day morning, in the Court of Quarter Sessions, be fore Judge Allison, the ease of Francis Huxley, William A. Husbands, Henry McManus, and Paul B. Anthony, charged with conspiracy to cheat and defraud. was resumed. Mr. Miller, who bad boon referred to as the gentleman who visited the family while at flux ley'a, testified to the interview with McManus, when he, McManus, said that Mr. Husbands was in the same office with Mr. F. C, Brewster, and repre sented him as a tam very good to the poor. Mr. McManus told them that Mr. Husbands would do the business very cheap, because he wanted to get at the Camden lawyer, whom he oharaoterised as a corrupt lawyer. Mr. Miller further testified that the Bowen family seemed afraid of men, and when he called in their room ho would find the old lady sitting on a chair, with her children (some of them of age) crouched behind her. At ono of the visits Huxley flourished a knife at Mr. Miller, and threatened to stab him if he did not stay away, and stop interfering between him and the Bowen family. Mr. Carter, a former tenant on the farm in pies tionl testified that he was well acquainted with it, having rented it for $lO5 and $125 per annum. He rented the farm proper, which consisted of eighty acres. He knew the value of land in the neighbor hood, and he fixed the eighty acres at $4O per acre, and the balance at $25 per acre, making the pro perty worth $7,500, and for which Mrs. Bowen and her family got $342. Mr. Griner, another tenant, fixed the same value upon the property. Mr. Lister testified that he had met Mr. Anthony after the purchase, and he was bragging that ho had got a farm worth $5,000 for $1,500. Two witnesses testified that in September last, four months after the purchase, there was a conver sation with Mr. Anthony on the farm, in regard to a deed which one of the witnesses was about to have sigmed, and about which there was some doubt whether the party would sign. Mr. Anthony then said, Why not whip them as we whipped ours?" He was asked to explain. He then said that they had to whip the before they would sign his deed. Priscilla Payne, ono of the daughters of Mrs. Bowen, testified in substance tho same as her mo ther, in regard to the scheme by which the family were induced to sign the deed. ARREST Or AN OLD MlSER.—Yesterday afternoon an old man, named John Ackerman, was brought up before Alderman Beitler upon the charge of receiving stolen property. Mr. Dunn berry, of the firm of Mears it Dusenberry, in Har mony court, testified that they bad lost at different times large quantities of type-metal. Suspicion rested on two lads employed about their establish ment, who were finally charged with the theft. They acknowledged having stolen the metal, and said they sold it to the defendant, who kept a small junk shop in Little Dock, above Spruce street. The services of Detectives Levy and Somers were procured, and they, with the boys, vistod Acker man's shop and took him into custody. None of the metal was found in the cellar except some small scraps which were left in the scales where it had been weighed. The lads who sold the typo testified that they had taken it, at different times, to Ackerman, who gave them about ono cent per pound for it, its real value being from eight to ten cents per pound. Aoker man promised to buy all they would bring, and threw out inducements for the lads to steal from their employer. After the hearing the prisoner was committed for trial. The lads were severely reprimanded by the alderman, and discharged upon giving security for their good behavior hereafter. They would undoubtedly have been committed to the House of Refuge had it not been for the inter ference of Mr. Dusenberry, who stated, as this was their first offence, he hoped they would be dealt with lightly. Mr. Dusenberry even kindly con sented to retain ono of the lads in his employ if he would promise better for the future. The prisoner, Ackerman, is a Herman, about 65 years of age, and is the most wretched and filthiest looking individual that has been arraigned before any magistrate for some time . Ile is a short, thin man, his face and head covered with long and knotty hair, and is one of the most disgusting ob jects that could be found. He occupied a oollar in Little Dock street, wherein ho carried on his busi ness and lived. The detectives, upon visiting his den, found him, after considerable dill:lenity, stored away in the chimney corner, where he bad a fire built in a large iron pot. The place wrisfilled with old iron, rags, and such articles as are generally found in junk shops. In one corner was a large cheat, containing a lot of hard bread, upon which the old miser subsisted. The only occupant found in the cellar besides Ackerman, was a large oat. The defendant was taken into custody, his place shut up, and ho was confined at the Central Station. That the prisoner has money secreted away some where cannot be doubted, as he has lived in this manner for a number of years. He had on his person, when arrested 79 cents, 15 of which be was asked to give in order to procure his supper, it being a rule for all prisoners to pay for their meals, when they have the necessary funds. Ho offered to eat anything that might be brought to him, put refused to donate 15 cents for this purpose. He even remained without food for 24 hours until com mitted to prison. Yesterday we visited the cellar which he formerly occupied, and found in it a col lection of filth, the stench from which was sufft elent to create some loathsome disease. Ile paid for this place 50 cents per week. The upper part of the house is occupied by numerous families, all of whom looked with dread upon Aokorman, and stated to us that he was only known to them as the "old miser." After sunset he was never seen, es he was in the habit of locking up his place and never using any lights. lie has no relatives living in this country, and can speak but little English. THE CASE OF GILCHRIST.—We Were in error in the statement that Gilchrist, now imprisoned and awaiting trial on the charge of treason, had voted in this country. Be is still, we believe, a citizen of Great Britain, having uniformly denied pro posals for his naturalization. It is possible that some injustice may have boon douo Mr. Gilchrist, arising chiefly out of the tremulous nature of the times when he was arrested. Ile is said to be en terprising in business and otherwise humane and generous. We are unwilling that anything dispa raging in these columns should appear against Mr. Gilchrist since ho has already boon so unfortunate. PHILADELPHIA BOARD OF TRADE. JOHN E. ADDICICS., THOMAS S.
