Iroll THE OKORUIAX.] Mr. Editor:— 1 “Quo of tho Sovereign People” has lately taken lltolihmty to compare the pnllcu of our city to that “jolted down” by Sltakspoure, nnd though, us huticsi Dogberry himself says, “comparison* tire odorous” (“dinii*), I nut dis posed to think this one, too nearly true. Thi* principle of mercy, which scorns to bo engrafted upon the Dogberry* ol our own city, is but too dourly obvious, and a* they seldom or never bring thieves to justice, It would scoot thut they did let them show what they are, hy allowing them uitlcal out of their clutches. Your correspondent having, however, canvassed this subject lolly, utid shown his reading, 1 too, would «how mino, and nt the same time show up our public functionaries. You have doubtless read,—and so probably have all out city fathers to their profit, judging frenPlIiu way in which they copy tho oxatnples therein laid dowty Knickerbo Iter’s history of New York. If you Itnvo done soul a distant day, pray do so again, not only to refresh your memory of it* iniiniiulilo wisdom, but to eqjny its humour anew. There is too, so much in the hook fitting tlie shoulder* of the faulty, whether us compluinur* or complained of, that all menwould do well to read and think of it. As I am otto of tho former, I shall take tho liberty to apply somoof thoHo parallel cases to tho luttor,—oven to tho bucks of our City Council. y'l’Tliu first example in City Government which ap pears to have been implicitly followed, was thut of the renowned Willioltnu* Kieft, bettor known as William the Tkstv. This mutt was tho first dis coverer of that powerful engine of war and govern ment, called a proclamation, nml which now seems to have been so efficient or at least of such constnnt u»o, front General Jackson and Governor Fuirfiold, down to our own City Marshal. Tho latter in tho most pnteut manner proclaims against horse* and ctnvs running at large, against tho nlioottng of night hawk* within city limits, utnl against all the vuriuu* jnfructnnm of tho City Ordinances; the Bonrd of Health prnclnim again «t nuisance*, and his honor tho Mayor against vagrants und incondiuries. Whli what success may readily bo dceii, for cattlo still run at lurge; tnulos still annoy our old friend Tanta lus; (llii,’ lie dares no longer complain.) gun* are still fired mi our common*; noisome smells sultttc the nostril* at every corner; and thieves and burglars are still undetected. Still 1 cannot but hope, that these proclamations like tin,so of William tlie Testy, will otto day full into disrepute, utnl more uclive meusures follow, tho’ far lie it from me to wish, that any of our city otKcinls or deputies should iv» ccivo in tho discharge of their duties tlie sumo in dignity that some of hit did, namely, n kick on the crupper. Certain it I*, that proclamations cannot remove the lu icks that have Inin under font till sum mer el tho corner of lluliersham anil Broughton st*. u* well ns sonto other such obstruction*, while it is equally certain, tlml they (the latter) cannot offer any active rcsi-mnre. Another striking point of comparison is, the same disposition exhibited hy William Kinft “ to multiply laws, and tint* secure the property, the parsons and tlm morals iff the people, hy sorroimd- ii.'g them in it nmntior with mon-trap* and spring- guns, and besetting ov-u tho HWoct sequestered walk* of private life with quickset hedges, so that u man could scarcely turn, without tho risk of on- countering some of these pestiferous protectors.” The consequence was, a* in our day, that “ ho was lontimiuliy coining petty laws for every petty offence that occurred, until in time they lieenmn too Hunter- to bo remomltercd, and romnmed like those of certain modern Legislators, mere doud letter*,— revived occasionally, for tho purpose, of indiviii ail oppression or to entrap ignorant offenders. 1’etty courts consequently began to tipjiunr, when the lnw was administered with nearly ns much wisdom and impartiality us in the nugust tribunals of the present day. Tlie offences of lltu rich wore dis creetly winked nt—for fear of hurting tho feelings of their friends,—but it could never be laid to the charge of tho vigilnm. burgomasters, that they suf fered vice to skulk unpunished, under the disgrace ful rags of poverty.” In this latter point our pre sent government shows the quality of mercy, differ ing tint* from this illustrious example, nnd were it not, that they were thus impartial to rich nml poor, I would recommend lit., plan of punishment adopt ed by tho Testy William. This wus a gallows hv which culprits wro suspended, hy thn waistband of tho pnntaluons in-tcml of tho nock, thus making them to dangle nnd sprawl between hnaren nnd earth for thn umusoment of tho citizens. But nlas 1 there an, no subjects fur punishment in these days, for every man,—good or bud—rich or poor,—bus n vote, which tho judge presiding, might lose hy condemning tho accused, oven though guilty. In strument* of punishment are therefore superfluous, and hence some philosophers presumo that there is no guilt or crime, aud talk about the virtue of the people, tho improvement of the age, &c. I have thus quoted to you, Mr. Editor, aotno few passages from Mr. Knickerbocker's vnluahlo work, —and have tl ereliy practically proved the value of history. Thus will it appear that tho experience of tho past, and its wisdom will he imbibed. Titus may tho enlightenment of those who havo gono be fore us, benefit the present und futurd, in thn sume manner that our worthytCuuncil has gained wisdom from the example of William Kiel), tlie second Go vernor of New Amsterdam.

CHEROKEE., Correspondence of Commercial Advertisvr. MONTREAL, Wednesday morning, Sent. 11. The Court met Imi night at half past 11 o'clock, for the purpore of discharging thujury, which could not ngree on a vor- ict in the case ofJulbort, for tho winner oftho 1 tie Lieutenant Weir, of the 32nd re» g iment. Immediately on it being pronounced from the bench that the jury were discharged, there was a general rush upon thorn by a mob, which hud col lected, armed wjih sticks. Tho scene which fol- . „ lowod I* beyond deseriptnm. While tho mob was to suffer, though I have done nothing worthy o£ beating the ten jurors—all Canadians, except Aiwa- ter, an American, and McKerrickor, a Scotchman, the ruth to the doors was tremendous I w as not pres ent, but havo heard that not nag in the shape of order wit* restored till the arrival of detachments of thu Grenadier Guard, and 7th Hussxr*. The pri soner had to lie escorted to the jail by u party ol tho latter. Hud ini* not h< on dona tlf* province wuu'd have been saved the oxpunse of miotiior trial, a* lie certainly would h.ivn been Lynched. Imme diately un the row commencing the judge left the bench, and Mi. Walker one of the pri*unei’s coun sel, suved himself by coiire-dmuni in some corner. up to llioir instructions. Tho Duko of Weilin.toii, with his umiul iiigncitv, saw tho conspquonccs of the measure, mid boldly opposed its missing, but it wont thn third reading without a division. His Gruco declared hiinsolf to bo most earnestly devol v'd to the universul itliolitimi of slavery, but lio loll convinced, if tho bill passed, that hy its very pro vision the law of uttliuu* would bo violated. Ho thou said that— “ Tho bourding nnd smirching of foreign vessols by tho commander* of cruisers und otliur vessels in her Majesty’s sorvico, without duo nxaminntiou of papers, would ho contrary to existing treaties lie- twuon her Majesty nnd tlio different power* of Eu- ropo. Such breaches of treaties must Inevitably lead to discussion of a serious character. IIo would nut tho cass of a French vessel in Intitudu 15 N., iongitudo 30, W. Ho would suppose site was do- mined, hoarded, and searched oy onu of her Mu- josty's cruisers. Then hn would n*k tlieir Lonl- ship* whether that would nut be u limnch of our treaty with the King of tlie Fro licit 4 If U wore n Spanish ship, it would also bn a broach of treaty with her Cntiiolio Majesty. This tnit't hnppnn la tlio nature of tlio service. French vessels must ho smirched, under siiclicircuinsiutiecs. British officers should not hu nut in n situtuiu'i which inudo them jiuliiu to cmninit mistakes. The country must til- tilt lately suffer. “ I tun of opinion,” said tho No- hlo Duko, “ that tlio political power of this country has it* finiudiili’in in justice. My opinion is, that if mod ration u..d jnsticn were Ini'iislicd in iliplo- mnr.y from ell tlio Caliinut* uf tlio world, they ought to find un usyliim in tlio British Govommont.” They ought to take tint manly course of going to war with tlm.io countries which violated treaties, rather than ptirstio a sinister course. If they fol lowed the principles of tho hill, war must bu tlie cimseqiumco. Tho right of search would hu execu ted upon thu vessels of nnri^n* with which wo liutl no treaties whatever. Whatever might bo tho foul ing on the ptirL of America tin thu slave trade, there was no individual iu thn Unilud States who had not tho strangest fooling on thu question uf suuruhing vessels by tho cruiser* of this country. Indeed, thu exumiso of that power wn* resisted in nil purls of tlm world. lie certainly d : d rt'coinmoiui tlio Nu bia Lord to consider thu diflicultios ho would linvu to meet lit currying this hill into uxccutiun.” A proto*! lias been entered on tin; Journal of thn Lords against the hill, utnl signed hy Wellington, Lyudldirst, Fitzgerald, Uuvurly, llosslyu, Devon, Ormonde, Wicklow, Rodesdule, Hu warden, Can terbury, Shaftesbury, Glongnll, und Do L'Islo and Dudley. The following are tlio eighth and ninth clausos of tho protest, and thoy alludo to tho United State*: 8. “Becatira tho provisions of tho hill convey powers to thu Lord High Admiral and to thu Secre taries of State, to give instructions tnliur Majesty's cruisers,and to give authority ton 1 person*, which must occasion hreuclu-s of tho stipulation* of her Majesty's engagements with nearly ull tho powers of Europe, if oxurciscd as limy may and probubly will bo.” 9. “Because thooxerciso of tho powers given hy the bill to the Lord High A dmirul and to tho Socrotniioi of State may tom) to tlio dominion mid search for pnpnrs; nml tho conierpioncu* of these acts on hoard tho more ban I vessels belonging to tho citizens of nations or tha subjects of powers with which her Mujasty is nor engaged by nny treaty for the mutual detention amlsomchuf vessols for lltn purpose ol preventing the traffic called tho slave trade, may ho that such detention and smirch may lie resisted or retaliated, nml evontondy lead toother measures ofwur.” This protest was signed on the 15th, and on tho 19th another was entered in which thuru is thu fol lowing important claum: “B.-caii»e thn exorcise iff tho right of detention, lunudmq, search for and exit niimiion of papers by vessels on tlio high sens, iu limo uf minco, hna been declared illegal by th" highest jit-fria! authority that ever presided ovurtliu English Court Admiral ty ” I have boon thus parthul >r hccaiisa lam well nwuro of tho jonlous feeling existing throughout die U.
