Wehavesuft fered from the high price of paper, the cessation of the cotton supply, indiscrimi nating and oppressive imposts, combina tions of labor, and the speculations of paper-makers. When the war broke out there were two classes of journals—those which claimed to be first-class and were printed at two cents, and the penny papers. The first-class journals pub lished large sheets and gave full de tails of the news, the others con tented themselves with merely condensing the news and expressing no opinion on general and exciting topics. The New York journals were in'the first class, and in Philadelphia the Inquirer and The Pjsess were its representatives. The North Ame rican had always represented the special commercial interests, and was sold at a larger price. There was still another news paper which, we believe, is still published. If we ■remember correctly, it sold also at two cents; but as it devoted itself to the interests of the Democratic party and York county, it did not enter into the lists as a . first-class journal. When.tbe war began to oppress our busi ness, the first-class journals determined to continue to furnish all the news with ap propriate comments, and to charge a higher price. In New York the price was raised to three cents. In Philadelphia The Press followed the New York journals; the In quirer retired from the list of first-class journals, and reduced its size; the Ledger, sustained by Mr. Swain’s immense for tune, determined to ride the storm, and charge only a penny. The retirement of the Inquirer occasioned a great deal of re gret, for it was hoped that Philadelphia would do as well as New York, and have journals containing ail the news. The continued advance of paper compelled the first-class journals to again advance. In New York and Philadelphia four cents was charged, and in the West five cents. In this city the Inquirer remained at three cents, and Mr. Swain continued his ledger at one cent. Finally, he disposed- of Ms newspaper, and Mr; Childs, the present publisher, yielded to necessity and advanced the price to two cents. Accepting this ad vance as a business rivalry, the Inquirer , with the beginning of the year, increased the size of its type to reduce the price of composition and the quantity of news, and is now printed'at two cents. The after noon journals continue to print small quar tos and charge three cents. We note these changes because they mark an important era in newspaper business. They leave The Pbess alone among first class journals, and we are now the only newspaper that, during the war, has kept pace with New York. Our policy is to print a paper equal to the EeraM and Tri bune at the cheapest rat*, whatever that may be. We shall never reduce the size of The Pbess. We believe the people of Philadelphia will continue to support a newspaper as good as those printed in New York. Our gratifying success illustrates this, and, as an evidence of our apprecia tion of the people’s kindness, we shall at an early day give new and com prehensive features. It shall -never be said that .Philadelphia abandons the field to New York in this enter prise of journalism. We wish our contem poraries all possible success in their new and exclusive field; and now that they have parted company and left us alone in our sphere, we shall watch their progress with interest, and give them all the encourage ment in our power. Cheap journalism has been such a blessing to the poor, and has So successfully educated them, to the appre ciation of joumals like The Press, that we should regret to see the field abandoned altogether. The Honest Canadian Judge, Mr. Justice Morrison, whose charge to the Grand Jury at the opening of the winter assizes in Toronto, (Canada), we published on Saturday,—a charge which wholly condemns, by reversing as illegal, the recent action of Police Justice Coubsal on liberating the St. Alban murderers and robbers, —is one of the ablest lawyers in British h orth America. He is now about forty-seven years old, and, before his vation to the Supreme Bench, had re peatedly been in oflice—first under his friend Prime Minister Kircks, now Go vernor of British Guiana, then under the late Sir Alai? MoNab, Mr. Galt, &c. He has several timeß served as first law officer of the Crown in Upper Canada, and was a member of the Cabinet at one time, only a few years ago. -Judge Morrison is a native of the north of Ireland, and is a man of letters, as well as law. He accepted the ermine about two years ago, and his brethren of the bar rather blamed him for not having waited until the Chief-Justiceship became vacant, his talents, great experience at the bar, and. public services having united to give Mm the strongest claim to such promotion. What gives especial weight to his decision in the case of the St. Albans robbers and murderers is that, even in office, he never •was a violent party man. His clear mind saw . and his fearless tongue proclaimed that those, whether Canadians or refugees, who violated the law by molesting the citizens of the United States, and breaMng the treaties between the two countries, are to be held as within the jurisdiction of the Gopttdwx. itt.-nr, and, .if apprehended and •detected, are to prepare for encountering •public indignation apd receiving due pun ishment from the law which they have This, we are pleased to see, is also the opinion oULord Mokcx, Governor General of British North America,' and of his Cabinet. A celebrated Portuguese who flou rished in the sixteenth century, and exer cised the traveller’s privilege of relating very surprising adventures of wMch he made himself the hero, thereby antici pating the German Munchausen and our own immortal Longbow, is chiefly remem bered in literature by a familiar line in Congbbve’s comedy of 41 Love for Love,” which runs thus : ‘‘Ferdinand Mendez Pinto was blit a type of tbee, thou liar of the first magnitude.” When William Godwin wrote Ms wondrous romance of “ St. Leon,” (the hero of which is a man .*who is supposed to possess perpetual youth, from knowing how to make the Elixir of Life, wMeh also bad-supposed to have-the power of changing the •meaner metals into gold,) he took this line from Congbkve as - the motto to "Ms Utterly impossible story. The heroic gentleman who conducts the Daily Telegraph, in London, may fairly be claimed as belonging to the Mendez-Pinto school. Not that he relates marvellous adventures, but that he has so much fallen into the habit of making false statements that, at last, he has a strong idea that they are true. Constant repetition has impressed upon Ms. mind a thorough conviction that, during the whole period of the present war, which now has lasted nearly four years, England* and the English maintain ed a remarkable and praiseworthy neutra lity ! The Daily Telegraph , of December 17th, says: ‘‘The neutrality of England with regard to the civil war-in America has excited the resentment and Indignation of both the combatants.. Had we -declined to acknowledge the belligerent rights of the South, we should have been In high favor with the worth; had we, by recognising the Confede racy, marked our sense of the IruiUe3sne|p of Fede ral aggression, we stmuld have obtained the grati tude and friendship oFthe South.’.’ . ~ , This, if it Mean anything, Must imply . that the Alabama, the Georgia, the Flori da, and other piratical- vessels were not • built, sold, equipped, armed, provisioned, and manned in England—that arms and ammunition, as well as clothing, were not ' made in England for the rebels who rose, against the Constitution and for slavery, In the South—that a fleet of blockade-runners were not sent out to the British Islands in , the Atlantic, (especially to Bermuda and the Bahamas,) as well as to Halifax, and other British'American ports ;. that the ca pital of British merchants, some of them members of Parliament, was not largely invested in running the blockade, with the double view of making money and aiding the South, and that the Alabama and ves sels of that class, (as much buccaneers as any on which Sir Henry Morgan, L’Olon nais, Van Horn, or Kid ever raised the black flag,) were not permitted to coal, pro vision, and refit in such of the British ports as were most convenient to them. If these things constitute neutrality, we make a present of them to the Mendez-Pinto of the English press. However, he is not alone in bragging of British neutrality—in the very face offset. On the 15th December, at a political dinner in Essex, the principal speech was made by Mr. Chichester Fortesqtte, who is Under-Secretary of the-Colonies. This, gentleman, brother of lord Clermont, and heir to the title, highly distinguished himself in his University career at Oxford, has sat in Parliament for an Irish county since 1847, and has been in office, with little intermission, since 1854, It was very natural for such an official, at a public political dinner, to speak of the colonial affairs of England, but his referring to American matters was gratuitous and un called for. It may” have been Ms duty to defend Mr. Cardwell, now head of the Colonial Department, but there was no warrant for Ms championing. Lord Rus sell, the head of the Foreign Department: Yet he emphatically declared, speaking of the war now raging in this country, “that he believed tliere would be nothing in after times more creditable to this Government, and more honorable especiaily to Earl Rus sell, as head of the Foreign Office, than the strict, true, and honor Able neutrality which he had maintained in this matfer. He believed that he had been right in not identifying the Government with the enthusiasm, on the one hand, for the Southern States, wMch is so strongly felt by the Conservative party in this country ; nor, on the other hand, with that fanaticism on behalf of the Northern States which was expressed by a section of the Liberal party.” Then, to • state Ms own opinion, he said that “he sympathized with the Northern States so far as this was a struggle for boundary, and for territory, and so far as it was a strag gle to redeem for freedom the doubtful StateSf-nnd -to save from the extension of slavery Territories still free from it. On the other hand, he could not withhold some sympathy for those States which had fought so gallantly for their independence, which had proved their determination, at most as-' toniehing cost of blood and treasure, to at tain that object, and who ought not to he made an exception from all those rules which w,e had-Mtherto laid down for the conduct of nations, merely because they had the misfortune to contain the institu tion of slavery.” So, Algiers ought to have been sympathized with 1 and not pro ceeded against,in 1815, “because it had the misfortune to contain the institution of" —piracy ! Mr. Chichester Fobtes qxte’s logic is on a par with the historical truth of Ms boast that England had main tained a strict, true,’ and honorable neutra lity in American affairs. This last asser tion is wholly of the Mendez-Pinto school of oratory. At that political dinner in Essex one Mr. Thomas Sutton Western, M. P. for Maldoh, and a large landed proprietor, who seldom if ever has heard his own voice in the House of Commons during the seven years he has sat there, waxed wordy—pro bably under post-prandial fluid excitement. He, too, made a great glorification of Eng lish neutrartty. “America,” he said, “had drunk to the last dregs of national suffering and misery, and the end of the war appear ed as remote, if not remoter, than ever.” He added, “ whatever the end might be— whether the separation of the great Repub lic • into two divisions, which was the aim of those who originally revolted from the United States, or whether the restoration of the Union, it would be England’s glory that, deeply as she had been a sufferer by the war, she had never been tempted, in or der to relieve the distress of her own children, to do one act which would embitter the con test or retard its termination .” Of course, then, no such pirates as the Alabama, the. Georgia, or the Florida, were built,, equip ped, and manned in England, were not re ceived as favored ships in British West In dian ports, and not a British shilling has been invested in the now hazardous risk of blockade-running, to pour in supplies to Southern rebeldom! If otherwise, then Mr, Western, M. P., undefiiably'kelongs to the mendacious family of Ferdinand Mendez-Pinto, and is worthy of the folks of Essex (a county famous for whom he represents. Japanese Civilization. The question may arise, ere long, for the consideration of civilized nations, what shall be their treatment of barbarous coun tries ? The horrible enormities committed, on certain annual occasions, at the Court of Dahomey, (when unfortunate victims, not guilty of crime, are brutally slaughtered in scores and hundreds,) may have a shadow of excuse in the fact that Ms v noble Majesty of Dahomey is utterly uncultured, and knows no better, not having been taught any better. But Japan is a country where, whatever the state of religion, a certain de gree of inteUigenee ..prevails, where many of the arts of civilization are cultivated, where, indeed, a steamboat has already been built by the natives, machinery in cluded, and writing, painting, and en graving are common. A country whose natives can manufacture rifles, cannon, nmA gHnnowder, and uSe them for offence and defence, ought not te be held as bar barian. The latest news from Japan is as follows: “The Prince of Nagato, who contended with the allies at the Straits of Shimonosekl, had. It was known, after signing the treaty which was extorted from him, refused or hesitated to comply with the condition which prescribed the payment of an in demnity. His course was not sanctioned by tha authorities, and he was condemned by the criminal coart at- Yeddo to the following peculiar penalty: That his two palaces should be razed, and his ser vants put to Heath. The execution of such a sen tence it Is difficult to conceive. It has, however, been literally carried out. The two palaces have been destroyed, and the slaughter of the servants accomplished. Two hundred and fifteen women and Children and four hundred and twenty men in the ser vice of the Prince were hilled, and then his Highness, deeply concerned, made his submission to the Ty coon and the Mikado, who had given their approval of the sentencepionounoea by the court. He applied to Admiral Knper, who placed the Barrosa at the service of the Prince’s First Minister, who was de spatched to Yeddo, where the envoy first besought the Intercession of aU the European and the Ameri can representatives, and declared his intention or Saying the sums due for indemnity without further elay, and complying with all the provisions of the treaty he had Blgnea.” This is about the most horrible event of the present time. A man refused to pay a certain sum of mouey which he had signed a promise to pay, and one of the courts of law subjects Mm to the penalty of having his two palaces razed to the ground (which was done), and tMs was a heavy punish ment inflicted upon him,, the .offender. But there was another penalty , which con signed four hundred and tMrty-five (435) human beings to a cruel death. They were slain because they were his servants, and the Tycoon and the Mikado—respectively the temporal and spiritual rulers of Japan approved of the judgment of the court under which tMs was done. We do not approve of meddling in the affairs of other nations, buf if ever there was a casein which it was justifiable, surely it is this. British Comments on American Facts. That remarkable London newspaper, the Daily Telegraph, favors its readers with a long leader upon the attempt to bum all the leading hotels of New York, with the exception of one which is noted .as a Copperhead haunt, and gravely affirms , that the circumstances related in oar news papers were ingenious inventions, exciting • fancies-existing only in reporters’ imagi-r nation—sensation sews designed to keep' the public in a lively condition. “It be came imperative,” Mr. Bala says, (for the article must be his, ) “to get up a sen sation on some topic or another; and the great Phosphorus Plot of the twenty-fifth of November was not a had peg to hang patriotism upon.” Above all, Mr. Bala questions the possibility' of .the Con federates being engaged In any attempt to commit wholesale arson''.jin New York. To say so, he pronounces “as a silly fiction, designed only to serve rogues and to frighten timorous people.” He declares that “ the Confederates,” whom he specially admires, “have other fish to fry. They are fighting a-fair fight, and have hitherto disdained to carry it on by any but legitimate means. They are not in the habit of getting fire to hotels and waxwork shows. It is not they, but. the Federate, who are accustomed to pour camphene over carpets and paraffin into drawers full of ladies’ linen, and then set fire to them.” Of course, then, according to this accurate authority, it was not “ the Confederates" who set fire to Ohambers burg last summer, and destroyed the .city. Of course, the Federate di.d the miseMef there! Obituary, Mr, Robert H» Bebesfobd, au aged citizen of Philadelphia,' and one of the -oldest representatives of the newspaper fraternity, died yesterday morning at 3 o’clock, after a short attack of disease of the heart, in the eightieth year of Ms age. Mr. Beresford .was born in London, but ' came to this country in Ms early boyhood, and learned the printing business in the city of New York, where he published a daily paper, the Advertiser, as early as the year 1811. Coming to this city soon after, on the breaking out of the war with England, he enlisted in the second company of Washington Guards, and per formed duty with that organization during its military service at Camp Dupont. He entered the. employ of the late Mr. Fry, and, upon" that gentleman becoming the proprietor of the National Gazette, was made foreman, and afterwards one of the editors of the paper. When the publica tion of that journal was suspended, Mr. Bebesfobd, together with Messrs. Fottlke and McCarty, for some time published the Philadelphia Gazette. Leaving the pro fession of journalism, he was appointed collector of taxes for Locust ward, and held that office until the consolidation of the city, when, in the reorganization of affairs, the position which he occupied was abolished. Since that time he has led the quiet life of an old man, -whose personal duties in the busy world have been fulfilled, , and from, the shades of Ms retirement has seen another generation laboring as he had done, and bearing up under'the world’s toils and burdens. During his long life, from the nature of the positions he occu pied, he became widely known, and Ms qualities as a gentleman commanded uni versal respect. WASHBVGTOW.

A band of music was In attendance. The reception continued for two hours. Thousands of persons, meanwhile, were continually going and returning from the animated scene. A guard of cavalry was stationed at each carriage gate, and a squad of in fantry, together with policemen, were In front of the Executive Mansion to enforce compliance with the order of arrangements.

Albas*, January, 2.—Governor Fenton was inaugurated to-day, and has issued a proclamation urging the people to fill up the last call by volun teers. The Late Honsieor Jlocqaard. The Paris correspondent of the London Times, wilting December loth, speaking of the death or M. Mocquard, furnishes a sketch of Ms life. The correspondent says: He was In his 74thyear, having been bom at Bor deaux In 1791. He was educated in Paris, and ob tained the place of barsar In the College of Louis le Grand, which, in compliance with the fashion then prevailing of applying the Greek nomenclature to pubUc institutions, then bore the name of Pryta nee.. On completing his college' course he entered tbe School of Law. and was called to the bar In 1817. Like most of the young men of his day, he joined the Liberal party in Its opposition to the Government of the Restoration. Hff was em ployed as counsel In soma of the political trials of the period, and particularly in that of the mili tary conspiracy, In which the rour sergoantß of Ro chelle were implicated, and for which they suffered death. He ceased to practice as a lawyer In 1826. If M. Mocquard was at that time a uonapartlst his opinions most have sat very loosely on him, for we find that after the Revolution of July he solicited employment, and obtained the post of Soua-Prafoot ofßagndres de Bigorre, In the department of the Hautes-Pyrenees. This he held lor eight or nine years; but whether lie quitted it of his own accord, or was removed by the Government, Is not clear. Soon alter ho estaolished relations with some of the members of the Bonaparte family, and paid several visits to Amenberg, where Hortehse, the wife of Louis Bonaparte, was then residing; and it appears he succeeded in gaining the confidence of that lany, and of her son, the present Emperor. In .mo he proceeded to London, and had frequent Interviews with Fgnce Louis Napoleon. On his return to Faris,he undertook the management of the journal Le Commerce, which was devoted to the interests of the Bonaparte family. After the affair of Boulogne, he ebntfnued, as before, to defend the same cause, and paid several visits to Ham, where the Prince was then a prisoner. It doesnotappear. however, that he suffered persecution Of any kind from the Orleans Government for his open ad vocacy of the Bonaparte cause, nor that he was pre vented fromcommunioatlngwlth the representative of it whenever he pleased. The Revolution of 1848 opened new hopes to the friends of the family, and M. Mocquard exsrtoa islmsblj id the Utmost in gaining partisans to the oaute to which, since he had ceased to be an Orleanlst functionary, he attached himself. When the period, of the election for the Presidency of the Republic ap proached he became a member of the electoral committee, presided over by General Plat. With that committee the Government never Interfered, It had its ramifications in every quarter 6T Paris and in the departments', and, on the whole, was far more fortunate than the “thirteen” who have just been prosecuted by the Imperial Government. Prince Louis Napoleon had then his headquarters - at the Hotel du Rhln, in the Place YendOme, and ’ there M. Mocquard established himself as his private secretary. The new President had assigned to him the palace of the Ely see for Us residence, and M. Mocquard was, of course, confirmed in his post as private secretary and Ohef du Cabinet. M. Ferdi nand Barrott, brother or M. Odilon Barrott, the President’s first minister, was appointed omolal •Secretary of the Presidency; ho held the post only lor a few months, and was succeeded by M. Au guste Chevalier, now one of the deputies to the Corps Legit latlt for the department of the Aveyron. It is probable that M. Mcoquard was more or IeBS initiated in all the Bonapartist plots since 1840. It Is certain that he was from the first one of the most active promoters of the coup d’itat of the 2d of December,. He was always remarkable for his buoyant spirits, and had, moreover, a keen percep tion of the ludicrous. I think it is in the M* moirs -of the Bourgeois de Paris it is related how on the very eve of Its being carried, into execu tion, and when everything was arranged for the morrow, M. Mocquard greatly diverted the con clave of the EiysCe by Us description of the curious figure which certain poisons would make when they were taken out of their beds in the night by the police. It was not merely the tranquillity ot tte country ana tUoc&ase of order generally that depended on the issue of the coup a'tat, but the fortunesof several of those concerned In it. M. Mocquard was among those who at least did not lose by it. Instead of holding the precarlons and not over lucrative post of Secretary of a President who had little means of adequately rewarding Us friends, he was established permanently In the con fidence, both political and personal, of the ruler of a mighty Empire who could bestow on Us followers wealth and honors. In foot, he" shared the confi dence of the Emperor In a degree far superior to the Ministers themselves. Notwithstanding his In fluence in the Imperial oloset, there was a moment after the Emperor’s marriage when Us position seemed to he threatened. M. MocquarfUappeared to have some apprehensions that he was not favora bly looked upon by the Empress and the Empress’s 1 mother (Madame Montljo) as he had so long been by the Emperor Umself, and feared that he might be supplanted. The danger, If danger there really was, soon passed away, and M. Mocquard remained at bis post wltbont any diminution of favor. A few years ago he was named Commander of the Legion °f Honor, and onlv last year, was raised to the dig nity of Senator, ° M. Mocquard wrote In Us earlier as well as In Us later days several dramatic places. One of the last was the “ Prise de FOkln. He also pnbllshed a few years ago a novel called “Jessie,” which, though it was very nearlv written down by fulsome puffing, had reslly a certain success, ■ M. -Mooquard was un doubtedly a most agreeable companion, never with out the mot pour tire, always fond of a jokej-and, I believe, incapable of willingly doing injury to any -one. -It will be very difficult for theEihperor to . find a EUbßtltute for atm. Several have been spoken of, stsoh as MM. Duruy (Mlnlster of Public Instruc tion): Lagceronnifiro, and others;, but not one can ever bo what M. mocquard was ; aud thiathe Em peror knows better than any one.

At three o>olook she tacked and stood after ns, and at daylight she was off the starboard quarter, half a mile distant, when she hoisted the English flag and fired a gun. We set the eolors, but did not heave to. She then hauled down the English flag and fired another gun, at the same time hoisting the rebel flag. We then haokedour yards, and were shortly afterwords hoarded by an armed boat from the steamer, whloh proved to be the Shenandoah. They took possession of the brig and ordered the captain and mate to repair on board with the ship’s papers. This occurred Id latitude 4.30 north, longitude 26.40 west from Greenwich. Alter examining the sblp’s papers the captain of the pirate ordered the brig to he sunk, taking cut of her everything that could be of any übo, such as provisions, canvas, and rope, and allowing the ship’s company to take away all personal effects, except the nautieal Instruments. “This steamer Is a fall-rigged shlpj with rolling top sails, iron lower masts, bowsprit, steel lower yards, ana capable of steamli g under full sail eleven knots. She was'built at Glasgow by Messrs. Stevens & Sons in 1863, and was formerly called the Saa lClng, snd.by theoffieere’ own report, had been employed on the London and Bombay lineof steamers; She Is now armed with four sixty eight-pounder smooth bore guns, two thlrty-two-poundeif rifles, and two twelve pounder smooth-bore guns. She had forty three men on hoard, nearly sSI of Whom had joined from captured vessels. She was fitted out at sea, or at Funchal harbor, fey another steamer, which had been Sent out from England for the purpose. She had a clearance from London to Bombay, which they said she had on board it th» time; In my opinion she Is not fit to fight any vessel, as she Is not able to use any of her guns, except the small ones, and for these she had only one or two rounds of am mu&Mitdi. She is- commanded-by a man who is very Imprudent in hoarding vessels... In capturing the ship Kate Prince, which I subsequenfiy wi* nessed, he exposed his whole broadside without knowing Whether'sho'was a man-of-war or a mer chant vessel, and neglected to have his men at quar ters. The orew were so situated that they could have been swept away by a discharge from an op posing vessel. It astonished me greatly to see his management In this respect, as he said he had been reared inthcAmerfcan navy. By. Ms own statement his name is Warden, was a native of Maryland, and a graduate of Annapolis. He was formerly in com mand of the United States sloop-of-war Saratoga. All of us who were on board as pri* oners must ac knowledge that this Same Captain Wardelh aB well as his (.ffleers, treated us very kindly, and were, la® every respect, perfect gentlemen, ’Previous to the capture of the Susan, the bark Elena, of Boston, hark E. G. Godfrey, (place unknown,) and sohooner Charter Oak, of San-rranolEco, had been oaptured. The officers of the two first named vessels were sent Info Rio Janeiro by a Banish brig. The Rate Prince wasbonded, and .oonveyed-me and Captain Gilman to Bahia- .From thence we sailed In the bark Grace, of Baltimore, for New York.’* ' ■ ARoman ConsrntAor ato its Disoovbby.—A correspondent at Rome sends us'a oommunicatlon announcing that a conspiracy ogaUistthelifo of the Pope, the King of Naples, and Cardinal Antonelll, which was to have been carried into effect on the Bth nit., had been discovered in that of ty. The let ter contains the following strange details of the af fair : “ The ■ conspiracy was conoootea at - Bologna about six months ago. In September last three of the parties engaged In it came ta Rome, each hav ing lour passports under different names. They ap plied to the police and obtained cards allowing them to reside la theclty, They did not live to gether, and only saw each other daring the night. They called themselves shoemakers, but- lived in idleness, and spent much money, always paying in 20f. plroes. They each of them had a kntte with three blades, and also a pistol loaded with shot. These threemen were brothers, and so much alike that they oonld be readily mistaken one for the other. They also had each seven dresses exactly alike. One of the three never showed Mmsetf, and was unknown to the poltee. Another pretended to feel freat devotedness towards the. Pope, lollewlng imin all his promenades, accompanied by Borne associates. The three men were in oorrespondenoe with a female who resided at'Rome, but who left the city at the end of for Upper Italy. She gave them orders and money, ana Informed them of the means of introducing arms, whloh were distributed to other conspirators in the Oity. The first Indication of the affair was given to Cardinal Antonelll in a letter from Naples. He at first re fused to believe the statement , made, but neverthe less set the police to work. The first of the three was arrested at his own residence; the seeond, who was laid hold of on the Bridge of St. Angelo, en deavored to throw himself Into the Tiber. Aseareh made at their lodgings led to the discovery of im portant letters, receipts for money paid to associ ates, arms, &e. In the list of the aooomnltoea are the names of some ex-Fontlttoal gendarmesm Thy third was captured at the moment when hr was going to see his brother.

The Moravian arrived December 21. 2he Daniel Webster passed Deal Deoeniber2o, for London. THE FBESIDEBT’S itBSBAGB. The Times says: “Lincoln’s message contains little from whtch the Federals can derive encouragement or consolation. The Government’s position, military and-financial, lmapidly growing worse, and the message effectually destroys peace expectations.” The Times thicks the North does not possess the power of confiscating property: The mere threat of confiscation gives the Sleuth the strongest possible motive to resist It to the last extremity, . The report of the state of the Federal finances Is even more discouraging than the military Intelli gence is unfavorable, although the situation, even ias depicted in the message and accompanying re pel ts, financial and military, renders it the most un comfortable address ever read to the American House of Representatives. British neutrality has been sojyell maintained that there la only one point In the message which concerns England directly— the resolution to place an additional force on the Takes. This Is not to be complained of, and we hope - the Canadians will take measures to prevent Canada being made a basis of incursions into a friendly State. 11, by placing gunboats on Lakes Ontario and Erie, these enterprises can be impeded, Lincoln . will only bo engaged in an object In which the British authorltleawill bo bound to assist him; but we sincerely trust that this increase of force Is not meant to he permanent. We conceive the necessity that occasional forays of a few adventurers should be brought Into connection with the question of con tinuing or modifying'the rights ot transit from Canada through the. United Stateß, as well as the regulation of imports which was temporarily esta blished by the reciprocity treaty of 1854. THE BBFOBT OF BBOBBTABV OF HAW WHOLES. The same journal has the following long leader on the report of our Secretary of the Navy; Mr. Gideon We{ies, the Secretary of the Federal Navy, Is undoubtedly entitled to claim credit for the exertions otbis department during the great civil -war. He falls info the exaggeration characteristic Of his countrymen when ho-asirlbes to the American marine achievements wlthonriparallel or precedent In any naval history; for good admirals hare lived before Farregnt, though they did not go into battle with iron-dads, and great naval expeditions have been undertaken, though the means were adapted to the age and the occasion. But if we look Impar tially at the work which devblved suddenly upon the American admiralty four years ago, at the re sources which then existed tor its performance, and at the manner in which It has been actually perform ed, we must admit that the tone of gratulation per vading the Secretary’s report is by no means with out justification in the month of Maroh, 1861, when Mr. Welles entered upon his duties as head of the Naval De . pertinent, the navy of the United States contained but 76 vessels of all descriptions available for ser vice. It now contains 671, a large proportion of • which are vessels newly constructed, on the prinol-v : pies suggested by modern wariare. In this power ful fleet there are no fewer than 71 Iron-dads, and 559 ships out of the 671 are propelled by steam. At the commencement of the war the Government had but 7,600 seamen In Its pay, and of these only 261 ; were in the home ports, in the present month the j number o| men borne on the- estimates is 61,000, i while during the present year, though 23 vessels , have been lost to the Federals bysMpwreak, battle, ' or capture, the Navy List still shows an Increase ot 83 vessels over the fleet of 1863. Nor has this t provision lor the exigencies of the war been i upon any excessive scale. The blockade main : talced by the Federals extends over a coast line of 3,600 miles, and this service, at any rate, Is really unprecedented in magnitude: The “squadrons” maintained on the several stations oe cupieo by the fleet deserve the epithet of “Im mense,” which Mr. Lincoln gave them. The Mls sitrippl Itself Is divided Into ten naval districts, each under a separate command, and the incidents ofthe war Lave taught as how skillfully and service ably the nayy has co-operated with the army even in the interior of the continent. The whole war, In fact, on the federal side has been a half naval war, and the gunboats of the Union have enabled Its land forces to attempt and execute what would other wise have been impracticable enterprises. In the face of so much success It would be Invidious to in sist npon failures; but we cannot forget that all the chief Eeaports of the Confederacy, with the ex ception of Now Orleans, are still In Confederate hands, that the formidable navy ofthe Federals had no enemy to deal with, and that the depredations on American commerce, which Mr. Welieachargas so bitterly to the account of British malice, were due only to the temporary inability of the North erners to keep the police of the sea. If Mr. Lincoln’s statistics are correctly reported., we may say something more of the Federal navy, and admit that It has been economically raised and thriftily maintained. The President’s message gives the entire cost of the navy, from the beginning of the war to the present time, as less than. £50.000,- 000, which would represent an annual expenditure of some A 12.000.000 only—a chargehardly exceeding our own. But there la either some mistake In these' figures, on the Federal navy estimates must be In creasing at an enormous rate, for Mr. Welles now informs us particularly that the charge for the ap proaching year will be upwards of £22,000,000, or nearly double the average of former years, Sttllr even that sum appears moderate in comparison with the prodigious expenditure upon the army, especially if we recollect that the American esti mate Includes the cost of the ordnance stores, which In our own estimates are separately provided for. Mr. Welles, however, contemplates spending no less than £11,000,000 in the construction, repair, and equipment of vessels during the coming year. itwUlnot have escaped the notice ot attentive readers that at the moment when we are urged In this country to abandon or curtail our Government establlsbmehts lor the maintenance- of the navy, the head of the Navy Department in America is strenuously insisting on the absolute necessity of such establishments. - What Mr. Gideon Welles Bald in previous years he says over again nojv, and reiterates more eagerly than ever his conviction that the Federate must have such yards and • arsen&lß as wonld place the Government above the necesuty ol depenalng on contracts with- private builders. He has argued this question, Indeed, not only on the score of exigency) but on that of economy; asserting that It would he cheaper as well as better for the oountry to manufacture for Itself the vessels and maohlnery which it Is now compelled to buy. We have remarked on former occasions , that these opinions are to be received, perhaps, with some qualification as proceeding from the pen bf an official; but it was Impossible not to perceive, from the more detailed statements given In some of his previous reports, that the ser vice and the Treasury were really suffering to gether Grom the system which has been recom mended for our own adoption. The instruction which we migkt otherwise derive from the experience of the Americans in marine armor and projectiles Is materially diminished by -the Circumstances under which the chief reports have been made. The great trial of the Federal lron-clads took place In the attaok upon Charleston, and the lailure of that attack was attended with so much quarrelling and recrimination- among the officers concerned as almost to invalidate the accounts recelvedo! the engagement. The Admiral in command reported disparagingly of the monitors and their performances; other officers differed en tirely ft om him In their estimates of facts, and the Federal Government was disposed to reject reports , tending to depreciate the new navy of the nation, and to give corresponding encouragement to the’ Confederates,' These contests led all parties to speak with so much personal feeling on the subject that it is natural to suspect their statements of bias, and we feel unable-to say whether the model on which the Federals have constructed an iron fleet Is or is not succesefai. We do, however, know that the monitors are, at any rate, unfit for sea ser vice, and .that Admiral Farraaut has persisted, hitherto, with Impunity, In hoisting his flag on board a wooden frigate. It should not be forgotten is looking at the ex penditure of the Americans npon their navy that they have hitherto been exempted from the charge for the non. effective service by which our own estimates are necessarily swelled. Our effective navy costs us at present only; £8,700,000, to which £1,400,000 mußt be added for liaii-pay and pensions. But it is obvious that no navy oan be actively em ployed without creating claimants entitled to this consideration, and Mr. Welles is already obliged-to introduce the Item into his accounts. The“ pension toll,” he tells us, comprised at the date ofhls report 769 Invalids, and 840 wioows and orphans. Whether rlsese are provided for In the “ miscellaneous ” vote, or whether the “pension fund " suffices to defray the charge we do not know, hut the fund in question seems to he rapidly increasing. It Is constituted from a moiety of all the prize property forthcoming from the war, an amount rendered very considerable bythe incidents of the blockade. No fewer than 324 vessels were captured during the past year, and tbe whole number of prizes since the beginning or the war amounts to 1,379. Half of the proceeds go to the captors, half, to the pension fund; so' that if the fund; is judiciously preserved, the American estimates will he lightened of some of their burden. Tbe extreme acrimony displayed by Mr. Gideon Welles in. his remarks upon the Confederate crui sers is doubtless due In some measure to the suscep tibilities of bis Department: but It may be usefully contrasted with the moderation and candor observa ble In the language of President Lincoln himself. Mr. Welles must know fall well that our Govern ment could not have done more than It did to pre vent the sailing of these vessels. The question of right itself was legally debatable, and even If It had not been, the means of evasion were so numerous that the efforts of any authorities might have been defeated. The real source of the mischief was the Inefficiency, or rather the pre-occupation, of that Navy over which Mr. Welles presides. For soma rime the Federals bad more than enough to do In giving a character of efficiency to the prodigious blockade which they had undertaken, ana in the In terval a couple of Southern cruisers ranged the seas uncontrolled. The event might have been un avoidable, but its consequences Should not be laid - tbns unjustly at our door. • T!i* Asians news had no effect on the markets. Confederate loan was 61@63.

The following amusing paragraphs are from the London Times: New York has boon "80 wholly engrossed with this new sensation as almost to have forgotten that . General Sherman, whom it is the present fashion to plaee above Grant and all the other generals whom merit or favor has brought to the surface, is engaged in one of the most daring, as well as most perilous, movements that a general can make. The mystery that has attended his progress Is removed. FoUcd by General Hood, and unable to retain his hold upon Atlanta, he has made a virtue of neaes stty, and commenced a rapid march through the enemy’s country, burning and destroying ail be fore him, In hopes to reaoh-the sea, either at Savan nah or Uharleiton, or some such other point on the Georgian or Sonth Carolinian coast as olrcum stsncca may recommend, and whither a large Fede ral fltet may easily proceed to receive him with sup plles.ahd reinforcements. The march will be of 350 miles, If successfully accomplished; and II ne make a new base for himself on the seaboard, In exchange for his abandoned Inland base at Ohattanooga, he will have achieved a work that will entitle him to rank as the boldest, the ablest, and most fortunate commander whom the war has produced. It would appear that the abandonment of the grand attaok which was to have been made npon Wilmington, prior to the day of .election, was oaused by the necessities of General Sherman; that, having made up his mind to retreat through Georgia, as his only chance of escape from aunihf ration of thread surrender, he communicated his plans to Washing ton, and requested the co-operation of Admiral Porter’s fleet, to be within easy distance of suoh place or city on the coast as he might succeed In reaching. Sherman Is now completely cut off from the North, and from communication with his own Government!; consequently the only news of his movements is derived from Southern sources. But, as the Southern journals have been requested orXor biaden to give Information through their columns that may be of advantage to the Northern generals and Government, It Is probable that little or nothing will be heard of Shormtui—until the North has to announce his triumph or the South Ms defeat. A levie en masse or imisiurm of the'Georgians has been ordered to impede Ms progress, to harass him in front, rear, and either flank, while General Beam, regard is preparing to contest his advance by more scientific and perhaps more effectual means. Gene ral Thomas, whom he left behind, either to guard Chattanooga or to assume suoh -other position as : would most surely hold General Hood in check, has, it wonld appear, found himself outnumbered—if not outgeneralled —and will either have to give or accept battle for the possession of the city ot Nashville and of Western Tennessee. Thus the whole interest of the war settles, for the time, in the armies of Sher man and Thomas; while Grant and Sheridan re main inactive—too much dependent upon the re sults elsewhere to riskafly independent movement of their own. —The first object of Shorman will doubtless be the capture of Augusta. It is a town of very conside rable importance. The destruction of the powder mills here is expected in the North to have a won derful effect. It escapes their recollection that the Sonth contrived to find powder before these mills were erected, and may do so If they cease to exist. However, tMs is no doubt his object, for a march down to the coast would be palpably a mere “change of base:” Now, the capture of Augusta will be a work of difficulty. From its position, on a large river, It can hardly be invested. General Lee has doubtless sent a division to head the defence, and an ample militia force could be massed there be fore the assailants would arrive. Beauregard would probably arrive In time to direct the deftnoe, and his skill as an engineer has been well exemplified at Charleston and Petersburg. Possibly some troops may be spared from Charleston Itself, who, having stood the fire ol monster guns for twelve months, are not likely to bo terrified by any artillery Slier man can bring with htm. So far as a judgment can be formed from all experience ol the war, there ts no probability that Augusta can.be taken. If Sherman should make an attach and be repulsed, his army will be in extreme danger j for In that case the troops at Augusta could be moved to the coast by ' the South Carolina railroad in time to intercept Mm. A Convict’s Stoey —At the Gloucester (Eng land) assizes, George Seaman, otherwise Joseph Rossiter. described as a school master, pleaded guilty to an Indictment for feloniously being at large be fore the expiration of a sentence of transportation for a term of fifteen years, passed upon him in 1356 5 and also to two other indictments, which charged him with sacrilege, and stealing various articles from the Wesleyan chapels of Hanham and staple ton, on the 27th of October last and the 2d of No vember last respectively. The prisoner read an elaborate history of his life in the penal settlement of West Australia, and complained bitterly that the colonists would not mix with the convicts socially. He stated that he set up a school there, but even his pupils and their parents wonld not acknowledgehlm in thestreet. He alluded to the wretched lift « poor” Robson&nd “ poor” Redpatii were leading. He stated that he had tried togetemploymentln varlons places, and that when on board ship It had been discovered that he was a convict. The sailors called him “lag,” and nailed his ticket-of-leave to the mast. Since he'bad been in England he had tried to get • employment In various ways, but he had failed; ha had been In tbe union, bat on Inquiries being made as to his parish settlement he got discharged. His lordship, in sentencing bito, stated that by a carious coincidence this was -the third time the prisoner had come before him for trial In the same court. The first time was when he was quite a boy, and was charged with highway robbery, when he was acquitted. The second tlme was In 1856, when he waß sentenced to fifteen years’ transportation. His lordship added that he must bear In mind that It was part of the burden and punishment attached to the conviction ftr crime that society should turn their backs .upon the criminals, and refuse to re celve thorn as. men of good character are received, and that It wonkLbe a bad thing for-soelety If such men as the prisoner had termed “ poor” Kooson and “poor” Retfpath were held in the same light as honest men. Hlb lordship sentenced him to fifteen years’ penal servitude; • Tojj Thumb in Paris —A Paris letter of the 9fh says: “I must put npon record that I have this day had the honor of an Interview with General Tom Thumb, Mrs. Thumb, the baby, and the baby’s aunt, Miss Minnie. 1 received a polite note from the General’s private secretary, Intimating that, al though the public receptions were over, tbe ‘fa mily ’ wonld have pleasure In receiving myself and wile at a private interview’.

The General, who has Jong been known la Europe, is In splendid health; Ms manners are affable and unaffected, and Ms toilette unexceptionable. His wife is really pretty, and like her Lilliputian sister, wring Minnie, remarkably intelligent. Bat the lion of the party was the baby, a little girl twelve months old, looking the picture of health, and, with out exaggeration, extremely beautiful. The face has nothing of the dwarf about it, but my observa tion" that she looked as big as an "ordinary child of her age was not approved by the secretary, who as sured me that the weight was something very far below the average, ana, lifting up the expensive lace frock, showed me her little feet In red morocco shoes, WMch are not larger than those of a moderate sited doll. My Inquiry whether the child was ex pteted to grow up a dwarf met with the cautious answer that there was ‘no precedent.’ TMs Is, I believe, true. There is, lam pretty sure, no in stance of such a small eouple'as Tom Thumb and Ms wife having bten the progenitors of a child. I venture to propheoy, however, that Miss Minnie Stratton (that is the name ofthe Infant) will, if she lives to attain her majority, be nearer she ordinary size of mankind than that of her parents.- Ido not believe in the foundation of a race of pigmies.” 'FOEMIBS NOTES.

White as president, tetters "Vo re then read lrom the Hon. Charles Sumner, Frederick Douglass, and otbors. Mr. Sumner’s letter Is addressed to Mr. White, and is as follows: LETTEK MtOM BOW. OHAHLBS SIJHWKB. SBB-ATB Ohambbk, Oco. 28,-1851. Dbak Sib : It will not be in my power to be pre sent at the celebration of the Emancipation Pro clamation by'the Banneker Xostitute. But wherever I may be, I shall celebrate it lu my heart. That proclamation has done more even than any military success to save the country. It has already saved the national character. The future historian will confess that It saved everything. It remalDS for us to uphold It faithfully, so that It may not he Impaired to a single jot or tittle. And.ln the spirit of the proclamation, and taught by Its example, wo must press forward In the work ol justice to the colored race until abuse and out rage have ceased and all ate equal before the law. The astronomer, Banneker, whose honored name you hear, would be shut out’of the street cars In some of our titles, but such a petty meanness eaunot last long. Accept my best wishes, and believe me, dear sir, faithiUUy yours, Ohablbs Soar mss. This letter, during its reading, elicited loud ap plause, as also the letter of Mr. Douglass, from which we make the following extracts: Frederick Douglass, after apologizing for his Inability to attend, and stating that great steps had already been mace by the colored race to the favor able regard of their fellow-citizens during the past two years, proceeds to say : The work of an age has been suddenly com pressed into a single day. Events have succeeded each other so rapidly, overlapping and overstepping each other so thickly, each rising higher than the other, that we are puzzled to separate and estimate at Its value any one of all of them. Their variety, velocity, and proximity dazzle us and oause us to lose onr reckoning. Only after-coming generations of men, far remote from this stormy and bewildering hour, will be able to describe with accuracy these great events and give to each Its true grandeur and Importance. There Is one,.however, which towers aieft-above all the rest, like the mountain rock amid the dashing waves of a troubled ocean—solid, calm, . unshaken, and immovable—and that Is the Emanci pation Proclamation of President Lincoln, whose second anniversary you arc about to commemorate. Baytt and Liberia recognized; the colored man received at the capital of the United States; slavery abolished 'ln the District of Co lumbia ; (slavery prohibited to all the Territories oi the country; slavery recognized as the cause of the war, and Its abolition decreed as the only wise remedy ; Virginia half free; Missouri soon to lot low; Tennessee not far behind; Kentucky trem blirg; ‘'Maryland, My Maryland,” unfettered, her chains broken, ana her limbs all free; Judge Taney dead; Judge Chase alive; McClellan defeated; Abraham Lincoln elected; slaveholdtog abolished; and brave black men, side by side with loyal white soldiers, are winning laurels for their race upon every battle-field where they ara permitted to confront the foe—constitute a few of the points of pi ogress which rivet the attention, command our gra titude, and jvaken hlghhopesfov thefutureoi our race upon this our native soil. * * * until the colored man can handle the ballot as well as the musket— until he can vote to the country, as wall as fight under Us flag—until he shall be as welcome as a‘ citizen as he now Is as a soldier, he will be a despised and persecuted man, floundering In the depths ol social degradation, a tempting target for all that is 'mean and malicious Is the American mind and heart—having no rights which a white man Is bound to respect. Let no man say within himself that this Is untimely. The Iron la hot, and now Is the time to strike. The nation Is looking about for safe anchoring ground for the ship of state, and you and I know.where the safe ground Is. Then let us firmly point out that ground. Onr own cause, and the cause of the coun try, alike demand this at our hands. I will not argue here. The case is a plain one. It would be a sbame, deeply scandalous and disgraceful to the nation,' to treat us as citizens to war and as aliens to peace—tax us to support the country, and arm us to defend It, and yet deny us the lull rights of American citizenship. Profoundly grateful for what has been already accomplished, to full faith to the ultimate triumph of our country and our cause, 1 am, very truly, - Frederick Dojjslass, After the recitation of a poem by Mr. John Smith, the opening address was delivered by Mr. Octavios V. Catto, & young man of considerable ability, and was frequently interrupted by loud applause aa he advocated the rights of the negro to freedom and equality. The oration of the evening was then delivered by Henry Highland Garnet. Taking for his subject the progress of freedom In the last four years, he de picted to graphic colors the different events and ac tions by which tbe condition of his race has been so much ameliorated. In.the course of his remarks he referred to the good which the negro had already wrought for the American people, mentioning among other tbtogß the bravery of the eoloied regiments at Port Hudson, Fort Jackson, before Petersburg, and on numerous other battle-fields of the Bepubllo. Mr. Garnet’s remarks, which Jwere extended to a considerable length, were frequently and loudly applauded. After the singing of a song by a colored vocalist, the recitation of Bokerfe welMmewn “ Second Loui siana Eegtment,” and a short address by Mr. J. W. Simpson, the large meeting adjourned, the affair having been a decided success. COLORED'PERSONS AND THE CABS. The Ridge-avenue Passenger Railway Company have placed cars on their track, on each of which It Ib' announced conspicuously that “ Colored people can ride in this car.” This Is one large Btep towards a humane reform. CSTT ITEMS. Great Kanawha Oil Field of West Tib ginia.—Considerable excitement has been produced in this region by the discoveries of Ollln various sections, and numerous parties from the cities of Philadelphia, New York, and Boston have been prospecting through the hills and valleys of the Elk, Gauley and other tributaries of the Great Kanawha, and the most startling dioovories have been made in sections where It was not supposed nntll lately that any oil was to he found. On the Gauley, inthe vicinity of Bell and Twenty mile Creek, from all Indications, there will be a very largeyield, and it Is reported hero that a large amount of land has recently changed hands at prices which a few years since would have been deemed fabulouß. On Little Bandy Creek, a tributary of Elk, large quantities of oil have been found,“and at the junc tion of Indian creek and Elk river a well is now being bored by Mr. Slack, of this place, anil from all the indications he confidently expects a yield of from 80 to 100 barrels per day as Soon as it is pro* perly tubed. On Big Sandy Indications are also very strong! and several .tracts of land have been recently sold at large prices to Boston parties, who are now making active preparations for developing their property. On Bine Creek, also a tributary of Elk, although oil has been known to abound for a long time, re cent discoveries have shown that no adequate know let 1 ge existed of the immense quantities of oil in this vicinity. Burning springs and gas fountains occur through all this locality ? and a well was opened in 1860 which, at the dep&of less than 300 feet, produced over 120 barrels per day. In conse quence of the incursion of the rebels this was aban doned, but the company who now own these lands are making active preparations for tubing this and sinking a number of other wells on their tends. - I understand from a gentleman from Philadelphia that the Blue Creek Company have 2,000 acres of land on thiß creek, Including the well. If that Is bo, they certainly have one of the most desirable pro perties in West Virginia. C. L. B. Charleston, West Va., Deo. 16,1864 We are pleased to announce the arrival In our city, from Washington, ofsrme. L. Gomez do Wo lowski, Frlma Donna of the Italian Opera, and the well-known Professor Alexander Wolowskl, pianist and composer. Mme. Gomez do Wolowskl, assisted by her husband, will open singing mid piano forto classes by their new and simplified method, at their residence, 234 South Eighth street. Judging from the immense' success they have obtained In Wash ington, there is no doubt of their success here.

Stokes & Co.’s 11 One-Price” Clothing Honse, under the Continental, greeting: A happy New Year to our friends far and near, Old cares and old crosses, forget them! For the hells pealing out, with a right merry shout, Teach the welcome that wisdom has set them.

To our brave “boys" on land, andour brave “boys ” on sea, (The wish it will bear olt repeating), To oar army and navy, who In patience endue, A happy New Year! we send greeting.
