Howard, of Cecil county, Md., arrested in Philadelphia, last week, was, on Saturday, ordered into the custody of his master, but immediately afterwards a writ of habeas cor pus was \ sued out and the case hrought.before the Court of Quarter Sessions, where a ques. (ion of jurisdiction was raised. The gaited States Matchable whose custody the slave had been committed, it appears, .refused to comply with the writ by bringing him before the court, and was thereupon : arrested for contempt.. Mr. Howard was also arrested, but as the slave was not in hie possession, he was subsequeotly discharged. The final de cision in thai case has not yet been made.

During the past fiscal year, our im porta have amounted to about $253,000,000; Our exports, exclusive of specie, to about $208,000,000. During the ye4r. ending Juno 80, 1852, our imports were $212,600,000, and our - exports, $161,000,000, leaving about $45,000,000 each year as a balance against us, to be paid for in specie and stocks. This process has been going forward ever since 1846, and we present the curious ano maly of a nation running in debt abroad for that which, we might as well snake at home. We pay, for all this excess of imports by our California Gold,. The labors of our miners goes to dischargeyyr indebtedness to Europe. lnetenfof retaining the gold for our own use, we transmit ft to Europe for perishable goods. Since 1848, California has paid our debts abroad to the amount:of $300.000,000. Had it not been for this gold, where should we have been ? Had we consumed our own man ufactures, where would the gild have been. The articles for which we have thus exchanged out gold , are such that, with the encourage ment which would have prevented foreign competition, we could kayo made ourselves, and what we could not make could have been ne rOdily obtained by our agricultural pro .duets as by gold, while the farmer would have found a nearer market for theee products at borne. Our policy has been otherwise arranged, and we have nothing to do but submit. But pay-day must come. Our stocks and bonds must come to maturity, and payment be re quired, All these obligations aro increasing, most rapidly, and the day of reckoning is ap proaching. The Lancaster Expresa toile us that no such " impracticable idea" as prohibiting the manufacture of spirits has ever been entertain ed by the friends of Prohibition—consequent ly could not have been abandoned, as we men tioned in our notice of the Cumberland county resolutions. ye can scarcely be mistaken, Mr. Express, in speaking of it an abandoned idea. Not to speak of individual expressions to that effect, we remember very well that olte of the bills before the Legislature, and sup ported by the friends of Trohibition, proposed that tho manufacture of liquor should be con fined to a limited number of persons, such as should be appointed by the Court of Quarter tillssions of nit, district. A. more odious pro •vildon. than that could scarcely bo Imagined, and we are mush mistaken if a majority of the people of Pennsylvania could be brought to munition it. The use of Spirits enters so large ly into many of the necessary and useful pur poses of life that to speak. of the prohibition of its manufacture seems to us a mere chimera of fanaticism. The small traffic is another matter. The world may well rejoice when it is done array wish. - WEST POINT MILITANT AcAnnty.--The Board of Visitors to West Point Military Academy have made their revolt to the Secre tary of War. The Board express their grati fication because of the proficiency. of the cadets in their studies, and also their unani mous opinion in favor 'of the Institution, na the beat method of diffusing military science and attaining skill in the art of war. They recommend .the erection of a new building for a ThidingSchool; the enlargement of the Cadet's Hospital ; new buildings for fhfficera' quarters; and other purposes. They 'also re commend an inoroaso in the number of Cadets to two from each. State, - to be recommended by the United States Senators. 'An extension of the period of instruction to five years is recommended, and also an increase of cadets' pay from 28 to $BO per.month.

Where do these check-roll sharks get the money they employ in this unrighteous traffic?

TUBA 1 I ENE AT_IVIAGARA. j 4...',.- eC On Mond ' /last week a thrilling and fatal casualty occurred at Niagara Falls. A despatch says: "Throe mon, belonging to a scow wl jolt came down the river last night, got• into a skiff alongside the scow, and it is supposed fell asleep, when the boat got separated from the scow, and was hurried on by the current with fearful rapidity toward the falls. This happened about 'J o'clock last evening. Two of the mon, one named Andrew Hannaman, the other a stranger, were hurled at once'over, the foaming sheet; . the third,-Joseph Able, caught hold of a Stump in his fearful passage and clung to it." . . ' We learn further from the Buffalo papers that Able, when near the verge of the foaming cataract, succeeded in reaching a rock, to which he clung till about six o'clock on Tues day evening. The anxiety of the people on shore tg rescue the unfortunate man from'his perilous situation was most intense throughout the day. But if the feelings of the spectators wore aroused to such a pitch, what must have been the thoughts of him 'who was almost certain of eventually becoming a prey to the roaring torrent? Every scheme that human ingenuity could devise was resorted to; life boats were brought from Buffalo, and proyis ions were floated to him, on' rafts. Late in the afternoon he succeeded in placing himself on ono of these rafts, and was on the point of stepping from it into a lifeboat, when, to the dismay and horror of the spectators on shore, the boat come in collision with the raft with BO much violence, as to pitch poor Able into the water. Still- undaunted ho struck out boldly.for a small island in the vicinity; but the current overpowered his already exhausted physical energies, and, after thus desperately struggling for life, and tenaciously clinging for twenty hours to a slippery rock, which itself could scarcely withstand the impetuous force of the stream, the victim was swept into eternity. At the fatal point he raised himself up to his full height, gave a piercing shriek, waved his arms wildly and disappeared. NAPOLEON'S PREDICTION In Dr: O'Meara's works, published some thirty years since, entitled " A Voice from St. -Helena," the following Is given as ,Napoleen'e' prediction, uttered shortly before his death, respecting the ultimate fate of Turkey : "In the course of a few years Russia will have Constantinople, the greatest part of Tur key, and all Greece. This I hold to be as cer tain as if it bad already taken place. Almost all the cajoling and flattering which Alexander practised towards me, was to gain my consent to effect this object. I, would not consent, seeing that the equilibrium of Europe would be destroyed. In the natural course of things 'Turkey must fall to Russia. The greater part of her population are Greeks, who you may say are Russians. Tho Powers it would injure, and who could oppose it, are England, Franco, Prussia and Austria. Now, as to Austria it will be very easy for'Russia to engage her as sistance, by giving her Sortie and other pr0 .91113C08 .91113C08 bcirdoring upon the Austrian dominions, reaching near to. Constantinople. The only hypothesis, that Franco and England may over be allied with sincerity, will be in order to prevent this. But oven this alliance would not avail ; France, England and Prussia united cannot prevent it. Russia.find Austria can at any time effect it." It may not ho out of place to mention in this connection, as confirmatory of what Na - poleon said regarding the designs' of Russia upon Turkey, that by the articles of a secret treaty entered into between NaP'eleon and °sender at Tileit,luly 7th, 1807, it was agreed thatßussia should take possession of T,urkoy in Europe, and pursue her, conquest in Asia, as far as shq saw fit. It was also . made'part of the same arrangerohnt that Russia should assist Frandin obtaining posseseion of IlgyPt s the Wand of Malta, 'and the fortress of Gib raltar; and 'all other • rissole except French, Russian,-Spanish and Italian, were to be ex cluded froni the Mediterranean.

But I think its time the fiublic heard botne thing of '‘ animatednaturea here. Be it' Ine, then, to tell you something of the fair beings' who give life 'and enchantment to this fniry seclusion in the forest. There are some Bev oily 'of us most pleasantly domiciled in Mr. Coyle's spacious and well furnished hotel, and .if you saw no, you would find us as united; as fraternal, ns social and as merry a sqt,ns ever happened together. In truth, when. we look -around our-joyous eircle.-we wonder-at,-while we tire prompted to, bless, the Lapp} , instinct, or impulse, or whatever else you may choose to call it, which brought us from localities' hundreds and thousands of miles apart, from the north, the west, and the. sunny south, to make up tide happy gathering of persons all unknown to emelt other before:- Itie-quite a singular thing to me. bill probably, with your practical ideas of things i , Mr. Editor, you would simply explain it by saying. "Oh no, only another illustration of the benefit of ad vertising—Mr. Coyle advertised for you in the newspapers—ho told you Doubling Gap was the place, and you came." Well, that's the practical suddenly upsetting the sentimental, but be it so, Mr. , Editer. We have not been dis appointed in °buying the disinterested invita tion at any rate. But you wishme - to - remember that news paper space is precious, and that the public would like to be briefly informed "how we do kill time," r at Doubling Gap. We don't know any such fashionable phrase as that hero, I assure you. Nobody suffers from ennui This mountain air is too pure, and its strength too invigorating for languor and indolence. Do you see that merry party with "pilgrim staff and sandal spoon," defiling'off into the moun tain paths—that young pair in the rear, very much suspected for a few days past of indulg ing in the " tender passion," slily lagging be hind the old folks—do you hear the echoing shout, and the reverberating laugh that ring through the grand old woods—do you bear soft music amid the,groves—do yo 4 see the gay throng anon gathered on the-green sward, and hear the lively sallies and brilliant repar tee- which - enliven -- conversation—do - you ob serve with what cheerful energy they bend their steps to the common residence, when the din of the "gong" summons to a welcome duty? Such are some of the items of morning enjoyment. In the drowsy afternoon, some probably take a "nap," while a book and shady nook profitably disposes of the afternoon to others. Then after tea, " Vllhen eve Is purpling cliff and cave, Thoughts of the heart how sweet ye flow; The few we like,the one we love, And the whole heart la memory." At a later hour, when night has drawn her sable curtain on the scene of the day's enjoy ments, take a glance'at our parlor party. Novo yoU seen a more brilliant assemblage of '‘ fair women and brave men" lately 2 - Musio and song aro the enchantments of the hour; but the stirring violin is about to supersede the piano, and now "On with 'the dance! let joy be unconfined When yowl) aid pleasure meet To chase the glowing hours with flying feet." But this is not continued beyond a reasonable hour. Last evening the usual routine of amusements was changed, however, a number of our party having determined on an-exhibi— tion of - Tableaux. 'Preparations were accord• ingly made—the scenes decided upon—the characters cast—and the_ ingenuity and:skill of the ladies set busily to work in the proper tion of costumes, &.43. In the evening the large audience - was duly assembled in the parlor; but how each brilliant, beautiful, and striking scene was successively pictured- by the fair amateurs, I confess My inability to give any adequate description. The audience were enraptured, and testified their admiration by the most tumultuous applause. I send you a , programme of the entertainment, from which you will see what a happy combination of scenes was presented. The lovely persona lions of tho female characters I cannot unfor tunately_so, readily convey to you. • 133333332 The Confessional.—Lady, Mrs.' G. of Read ing; Priest, Mr. M. of Baltimore.

A witching picture, and personated to perfection. , Tho series of tableaux were concluded amid shouts of—applause, by the presentation of a humorous and laughable scene in which-seve ral ladies and gentlemen appeared. The whole party then adjourned to. - the ball-room, to enjoy again the pleasures of the mazy dance. And-thus, Mr. Editor, I have given you a mere outline of a day's recreation at Doubling Gap. Do you think there is any difficulty about " killing time?" lam sure there is not with at least . . ONE or US. filar It is now stated that F. C. Gray. who committed suicide at Now Rochelle, was in trouble on the subject of a.bigamy that he lend committed. Ife had left a wife, it is said in California, and married another-here, and his first wife had followed him to Now. York.

At the sailing of the Franklin the Turkish question was still unadjusted, and the, aspect of offals Was decidedly warlike. , The Run shins had crossed tlMPruth, and the Emperor, had issued a decree, announcing his intention ' to oceopy the Danubian provinces—by way ! of intimidating the Sultan. Ho, however, disclaims any design to conquer Turkey, but professes Merely to protect the rights and , privileges of the members of the Greek Church in_ that, ,00untry. _lf, however, the Porte should persist, the Cznr threatens to move "forward on behalf of the orthodox faith." It i stated that the Porto will be able ° to muster 250,000 men—and' that the most zealkus prpparations were in progress for defence. It is intimated that &Until a collision occur, Ad ,miral Dutdas,' of' the British Navy, would have command of the-fleet—while one of the French Generals would command ling force that might. land. The warlike character of Turkish affair's occasioned nn advance in the price of flour and grain to 4 a. 1 14, _G shillings per quarter. - Later from Europe The steamship Arctic arrived at New York on Saturday with four days later ad% ices.— Breadetuffs wore in less demand, with prices slightly declined. The news is fullof inter est. Count Nesse'rode has issued a new eir cular,-more impudent than the last; yet the Bourses manifested no particular alarm. Mat ters appear to be becoming raore._and _more complicated, yet the publio of Europe will not open their eyes to the possibility of war.— Austria has seized the opportunity of again demanding froth Turkey thacoucessions refus ed to the late mission of Count do Leiningen. This, if authentiO, forbids the idea of Austria's neutrality in any coming struggle. LATE FROM CALIFORNIA The steamer Northern Light arrived at New York on 111onday, bringing over $30,0r10 in gold. The mining news continued favorable, but business generally was dull. I "Slinst.t city was destroyed by lire on the 14th. Loss es timated at $227,090. The Democratic State Convention assembled at Benecia on 'the 21trt. of June; and after a stormy session of three days succeeded in nominating their candidtries. Very strong effot ts were made to throw Gov. Bigler overboard, but without success. The only names presented to the Convention for the nomination of governor, besides that of Gov. Bigler, were Richard Roman, the present State Treasurer, and Henry P. Haven, of Ma -t, rysville. A fierce battle between the Bigler and anti-Bigler men for the first two days argued little for the harmony of the party. But Bigler was nominated by a decided ma jority on the first ballot, and several who had been most earnest in opposing hint cams for ward and pledged themselves to support the nomination. Samuel Purday was renominated for the office of Lieut. Governer. The Whigs throughout the State are prepa- ring for the fall election.; Delegates to the. Convention to be holden at Sacramento on the ' - "Gttroflnly, are already chosen it. Many coun-_. tics. Capt.. William Waldo has the best pros pect now of being the nominee fur Governor. Gen. David Douglass and F. A. Cobb, of San Joaquin, are also understood to be iu the field for the same nomination. 111711.DE1l i& LUZEILNE COMM.-A bruthl I murder was committed in the town of Wood- Block, Luzern° county, about ten days ago, by a man named George A. Wentworth, a shoe maker, who cut his wife's throat with a razor. The murderer has been arrested and is now confined in jail.- About the same time, James Quinn, a boatman, murdered a young woman by tire name of Maltala Wiggins, on board it canal boat at Nanticoke. They were both em ployed on the boat, and getting into a quarrel he struck her several times on the head with a hatchet. lie left her lay on the fluor covered . with blood and made his escape. - The "harmonious Democracy". in Maine aro by no . means satisfied with their nominee for Governor. Pillsbury was selected from his known hostility to the Maine Law, and the Democrats who support that law, can not, they say, support Pillsbury.
