The Plenipotentiaries who signed the treatv of
us the Both of March, 1858, assembled in
nference, Considering,—
Taut maratime law, iu time of war, has long
y P n the subject of deplorable disputes;
' That the uncertainty of the law and of the du
in euch a matter gives rise to differences of
.non between neutrals and belligerents which
i»y occasion serious difficulties and even co:i
diets;
That it is consequently advantageous to es
riiish a uniform doctrine on so important a point;
That the Plenipotentiaries assembled in C*m
jess at Paris cannot better respond to the inten

than hr seeing to introduce into international rc
j'.ions fixed principles iu this respect;
rhe above mentioned Plenipotentiaries, being

eives as to the moans of attaining the object; and
aring come to an agreement, have adopted th e
swing solemn declaration:
Privateering is, and remains, abolished.

The London Star, of April 19, speaking of the j
:S»tj, »ays :
Although, as we read the treaty clause bv '<
we feel that the living and expanding spit it !
f society will carry it into effect differently from 1
.e intentions of its framers, yet we regard it as a '
•■lie treaty. It gives no one triumph, it sends no ,
fine away \ritfi a sense of defeat and shame ran!.- j
■if in his bosom. Even Count Buol, who is said
have gone away, mortified, can be only much j
.ratihed at the success of his mediation.
Though no treaty can put an end to ull ocea
■■•ns for quarrel, this particular treaty, so far as ;
•can see, sows no seeds of new quarrels. 1; i
: ices, more than any treaty we recollect, the in-j
tests of the different States of Europe under the I
iiimoii guardianship of all, and will make it the j
fault of no one in particular, but of several, if |
teace be again disturbed.
' It is obvious, also, that all the powers defer to
ha opinion of Europe. It cannot, indeed, be oth- I
■rwise; for every individual, however lofty his
-'.ion, is but one unit of a great whole, and must ]
with the mass of society. The people of Europe, i
•■refore, can consolidate the peace, and extend !
:r own freedom, if they will, and if they will |
war will follow, bringing despotism and slave- ;
rj in Us train. j
The declaration concerning neutral rights in
*sr is admirable.”

language:

Trial of Hon. P. T. Herbert.
Below we give the decision of J udge Cr awford,
I of the Criminal Court, by which it will be seen
that Mr. Herbert has been admitted to bail in the
amount of ten thousand dollars.
In J f Philemon T. Herbert, M. C., on habeeueor
put. '
The testimony adduced at the hearing on the
writ of habeas corns, directing the marshal of the
District of Columbia to bring the body of Phile
mon T Herbert before me on Saturday last has
been the subject, in connection with the law bear
ing thereon, of as full consideration as the lime in
tervening would allow. e n
i was strongly impressed by the evidence as it
was detailed, and the reflection of which I have
sought, and, instead of changing the impression
ha.s strengthened the conviction entertained when
ill! rJ« deHC v W fu closed. I abstain from givin r
the reasons for toe conclusion arrived at, and which
must be obvious.
In any view which a jury can take of the evi
i d( ‘nce under proper instruction from the court as
y. 1 ® lt ls . c l uit , e dear to my mind that a con
; viction of murder should not take place.
It the evidence had left room for debate whether
the prisoner was guilty of murder or manslaugh
ter or was entitled to an acquittal, although tl; *
1 K r,ill ! j tur such debate might have been slight I
; should have remanded him to prison. In relation
j to the two last branches of inquiry just stated
viz : whether a charge of manslaughter can be
maintained, or the defendant discharged—there is
; contradictory testimony, and not only contradicto
ry, but utterly irreconcilable, and it is not for the
} c°urt, but a jury, to sav which of that testimony
1 "ley will credit, and to what the weight of evi-
I dence winch may be adduced on a trial shall
; poiut. When a matter of fact is involved, the
; court should bail or remand ; to discharge would
i be for the court to try and decide the truth of the
| ’act for which a person may be committed instead
!of the jury. [Petersdorf’s Law of Bail, 10 Law
: Library, 294 of the chapter. Criminal Law ;4
amended edition, 1841), 130, ,V 22.
The order of the court is, that the prisoner enter
into a recognizance, with one or more surety or
[ sureties, in the sum of ten thousand dollars, con
ditional for his appearance at the next term of the
i Criminal Court for the District of Columbia, to be
1 holden on the third Monday of dune next, to an
swer the charge of manslaughter of Tlios. Keat
ing, and not depart the Court without the leave
thereof; aud, on his failure to do so, that he be
remanded to the jail of Washington county, D. C.

Messrs. Joseph 11. Berictt and dames Owner on

Horse.—Mr. Jones, of Pennsylvania, iu rep!.
»ng to the remarks of his colleague, Mr. Fuller, d.- j
uied, on unquestionable authority, tho assertion I
that Mr. Buchanan was cbairnian'of the commit '
tee which framed and reported to a meeting held
at Lancaster in 184 y resolutions denunciatory of the
Missouri Compromise, aud that he did not sea j
them till they were printed.
During Mr. Polk’s administration, Mr. Buchan
an proposed to oxttud the Missouri line to the Pa
cific, but in 1850 lie declared that the Missouri
Compromise measures superseded that line, which I
construction led eventually to the adoption of the j
principles embodied in the Kansas and Nebraska I
Mr -Jones pointed with pride to the long public |
life of Mr. Buchanan, who had received the ene.- !
miunisof true national men for the pure moral!tv
of his life and the stern patriotism of Ins charac
ter. . 1 he record of the Democracy was luminous, :
and it would be marred by any attempt to defend
it tram the attacks of any quarter.
Mr. Fuller of Pennsylvania, gave the Demo- ;
cratic journal of the Northern part of that State, j
as authority for his assertion that Mr. Buchanan
reported the Lancaster resolutions denunciatory
of the Missouri Compromise. They were re-puli
lislied in 1 552. 1
A Private Room, or the Effect of Punch
Drinking.
One particular dark, damp, dull, drizlv and dts- i
agreeable day, in the latter part of November, a
fall, gaunt, queer looking customer, dressed in a i
blue coat with yellow buttons, with “yallet ” j
striped pantaloons, and calf-skin terminations, :
sat, “ solitary and alone” in a little room situa
ted in a certain little tavern, in street, Phi!.;- j
delphia.
Before him was a little round table, on whose !
marble top was “not a little” pirher of smoking !
punch, “schreeehen hot,” and a wine glass. The j
solitary individual was York—nothin' else, dear j
child—and that was his second pitcher full —nigh i
his second empty. One minute after, and you
couldn’t—fact you see—have squeezed a dropout
of either the pitcher or glass, by a forty-two pound- i
er hydraulic press.
York rang the bell. The waiter popped his j
head in the door.
“Ring, sa ?”
“01 course I did. Is it clearing off?”
“No sa—damp, sa—fog so thick, sa, vou j
could Indie it out tlta spoon, sa. Have anythin *
sa ?”
“ Moore punch, and strong."
“ Yes, sa—immediately, sa.”
The waiter withdrew, and in a few' seconds re j
turned with a third pitcher of punch, and York ,
was beginning to f el glorious, when on raising ;
up his eyes, he saw his own figure in a pier glass, i
directly opposite. He rubbed his eves again.
“ Bv thunder’" said he “here’s some fellow sit
ting right before me; I’ll swear there’s impudence :
for you! This is a private room, sir, for nty sole
accommodation.”
He waited a minute, expecting an answer, but
his reflection only stared at him and held its peace, i
“ 1 was saving, sir. that this is my private room :
—mine, sir!” cried York, fetching his voice an j
aetave higher than it was before. No answer was
made, ana he rang the bell furiously. The w aiter 1
made his appearance again.
“ Ring, sa ?”
“Yes, I did ring. Didn’t I ask for a private 1
room V”
“ Yes, sa ; this is a private room, sa.”
“It is? Why, there’s a fellow sitting right op- j
poaite me now, on the other side of the table. Rut
his impudence.”
“Table, sa -fellow, sa?”
“ Yes there is. Well, just never mind. Bring 1
on some more punch and a couple of glasses.”
In ti very short time the fourth pitcher, with two i
glasses, made its appearance.
York tilled one of the glasses, and then shoved !
it over the table.
“Will you drink?” said he, addressing the figure I
in the glass.
“Oh, you won’t, eh ? Well, I—l will.”
And so he did.
“ Better drink, old fellow,” continued lie. “Your
liquor is getting cold, ami you look as if you was \
fond of the thing.”
No answer being returned, York finished the
j pitcher, and rang the bell again. In popped the
\ waiter,
j “Ring, sa?”
• “To be sure I did. Didn’t vou hear the b-b-bell ?”
j “I did.”
“Didn’t I order a p-p-private room? Eh?”
j “Yea, sa ; this is a private room, aa.”
“A pretty private this is, with a f-f-fellow sit
ting right opposite that won’t take a glass of
punch when it’s offered him, and a r-r-red nosed
man at that. 0, well never mind, bring mon
punch and t-t-tumbers, I’ll try him again."
Presently pitcher number five with glasses '*
match, was borne in with due state,
j “Better try some, old bov,” said York, coaxing
| ly, to his double. Tho reflex merely looked good
; natured, but said nothing.
I “Well,” continued York, with a sigh, “if this
| isn’t the most infamous. Never tnind, I'll drink
the punch.
And so he did, every bit of it. About five min
utes sufficed to end the pitcher. York rang the
bell The waiter came again.
“Ring, sa?”
| “Why certain. Why shouldn’t I ? Where's the
man —who keeps the—place?”
“Boss, sa ? I'll see ’im, sa.”
Shortly after mine host, a quiet looking little
man, with a mottled, calico pattern face and a
shining bald head, made his appearance.
“ W-w-what’s to pay *” demanded York, rising
and assuming an air of dignity.
“Five punches—five levies, sir
“There's the money, sir," said York forking
over the coin. “And now I want to know why,
when I call for a private room, y ou should put me
iu here with s-s-somebodv else?"
“There’s nobody here but you and I, sir?"
“Nobody! Do Vou s-s-spoae I can’t see? Do
vou think I’m drunk ? There, look there' two of
’em, bv jingo !’’ ....
“Well, sir, I must confess, I can t see but us
two.” ,
‘ Y’ou caw’t eh?” And Y ork dragged the land
lord to the table. “Look there,” continued he,
pointing -o the glass. "Th-th-there s the rascals
now. One of ’enis enough like you to be your
brother, and the other is the most Lord, forsaken,
meanest looking white man I ever saw.

W ashjngton. May 15.—The President communi
cated his message to Congress to-day in relation
to Nicaragua affairs. He explains and defends the
necessity for the recognition of Padre Vigil, the
new Nicaraguan Minister, as the exigencies of the
public service rendered diplomatic relations im
perative.
The President has signed the bill to grant public
lands in lowa to aid in the construction of rail
roads in that Stale.
It is presumed that several southern States will
j obtain similar grants.
New Y ork Market.
New Y ork, May 15.—The Cotton market is dull

Uplands 10%. Sterling exchange easier.
Arrival of the Asia.
_ steamer was telegraphed as being below
; New \ ork last night, but her news could not be
received from the vessel.
The telegraph here was working in fine order
from New 4 ork to New Orleans, and has been for
1 several days. We expect the steamer’s news earlv
to-day.
St. Loots, May 12.-—The steamboat Star of the
V est arrived here to-day from Kansas, bringing
dates to Saturday, the 10th. Governor Robinson
and family were among the passengers, but at
Lexington he was waited upon by a committee ap- j
pointed by the citizens and notified that they
should detain him on the ground, that he was flee
ing from the territory to avoid arrest on an indict
ment for treason which had been found against
him by the grand jury of the United States Dis
trict Court. The Governor replied that ho had
been informed by one of the grand jury that an
1 attempt had been made to find a bill, but it had
failed. This did not satisfy the committee, who
insisted that Robinson should remain. Finally he
consented to do so on the persuasion of Mr. Park
inson, the captain of the boat, and a Mr. Barnard,
of Baltimore. The committee then agreed to send’
a messenger to Kansas to ascertain if an indict
ment had been found ; and if not all the expenses
of Robinson’s detention were to be paid. The
committee consisted of General Shields, Mr. Saw -
yer, and a number of the most respectable citi
zens.
It is reported that a despatch from Leavenworth
has been received, stating that an armed bodv of
men are en rmde for Lawrence, for the purpose of
destroying the evidence taken by the committee.
M hile Governor Reeder was in attendance at
the session of the committee of investigation at
Lecompton on the evening of the Bth, the Deputy
Marshal served on him a writ to appear before tba
Grand Jury at Lecompton, to answer the charge of
contempt for having refused to comply with the
summons of the Grand Jury previously served j
upon him Governor to obev the
writ, aud appealed to the committee, bu they rh - I
cided that they had no power iu the case 51 -.sis. j
Howard and Sherman, however, expressed tli<*ir j
opinion that Mr. Reeder was protected bv privt
lege. Mr. Oliver dissented, ami said the comm - ;
tee could not stand between him aud the Marshal
Governor Reeder said that although his life was in
danger in Lecompton, he would remain on lus
privilege, in attendance at the sittings of the com
mittee, aud dared them to touch him at their peril.
The Marshal left, but was expected to return on
the 9th, with the IT. S. dragoons.
The Judge at Lecompton charged the Grand
Jury on Monday, the sth iust., to indict all the
State officers and meml rs of the L-gislature for
high treason, but up to i 2 9th n such indictment
had been confirmed, so fat i.s he proceedings had
been made public.
Washington. May ir —The President sent to the
Senate to-day documents relative to Indian hostili
ties on the Pacific coasy
General Wool, under date of the 20th of March,
says; “ The war iu Pugett’g Sound will soon be
brought to a close unless prevented bv Gov. Ste
ven’s determination to carry on the war indepen
dent of United States troop's, and that same re
mark is applicable to Gov. Curry;" adding “these
Governors appear to be running a race to see who
can dip the deepest into the public treasure.” “In
the dense forest of Pugett’s Sound another Florida
war can easily be carried on at the expense of
twenty or thirty millions. The same w ill apply to
the mountain region of Pugett’s Sound valley. I
have no doubt 1 could settle the contest in a short
time if the Governors would withdraw from the
contest.
Gov. Stevens says: “Gen. Wool neglected and
refused to send a force for the relief of myself and
party when known to be in imminent danger, and
believed by those who are best capable of judging
to be coming on to certain death ; and this when
he had at command an efficient force of regular
troops. He has refused to sanciion the agreement
made between Gen. Mason and Maj. Gaines for
troops to be sent to my assistance, and ordered
them disbanded. It was reserved for the Oregon
volunteers to rescue us. There has been a breach
of faith somewhere, and 1 ask for an investigation
into the whole matter.
New Orleans, May Ft.—The steamship Empire
City has arrived at this port with advices from
Havana to the 11th instant, and San Francisco to
the 21st nit. The George Law, now on her way

The San Francisco markets were quiet, but Flour

The Oregon war continues. A body of regulars
had been defeated by the Indians at Rogue River,
and twenty-eight of them killed. Cassades had
been captured bv the Indians and destroyed by
fire, and several of the residents massacred. It |
was reported that a thousand Indians were ap- I
preaching Dalles from the North. Several other
tights had occurred, but the whites were generally
victorious.
In YYashingtou Territory the Indians were
breaking out upon the settlements in every direc
tion.
The latest advices state that Col. D. Buchanan
had defeated the Indians at Rogue river and reliev

Pai xix«. — From a paper read before the Cincin
nati Horticultural Society, by E. .1. Hooper:
The priucipa! objects of pruning, are to procure
a good bole or trunk for timber; to forma heud
moderately open and spreading, iif a standard or
chard,) for the protection and healthy and perfect
development of fruit; and subserve in some mea
sure the purpose of ornament.
To effect these objects with the least trouble, and
greatest advantage upon all non-resinous trees,
the following directions are recommended;
1. Begin to prune the tree when it is young.
2. Cut close and smooth to the bole or limb.
3. Cut, when small, the branches which are like
ly to cross one another, or which are likely to in
terfere, or become useless or dead, and which, if
suffered to remain, will require to be removed at a
more advanced period of growth; when very large
they would create too great a shock upon the vital
energies of the plant.
4. Avoid pruning to excess under our hot sun.
Let the branches occupy at least a third of the en
tire height of the tree.
5. Do not trim when the tree bleeds.
When the preceding suggestions are observed,
1 may add:
(I. Pruning may be done at any time when the
tree is in a dormant state; but the best and safest
time is when vegetation is at res:, just at the lime
j of the rising of the sap.
7. Shortening in, or the expiration of water
sprouts, may bo done ai all times in summer.
■i. For dwarfing and early fruiting, shorter-;ug
I in or summer pruning is essential, bu to be don
with great delicacy at this season.

The Coming Sickness. —The germs of pestilence
• are hatching in the elements. Everything points
j to the approach ol' a sickly summer and autumn.
! It should, therefore, he the care of every person
to preserve the several functions of the body in
their full tone. Disease falls first upon those

. their own neglect. Guard well against constipa-
I Hod aud its opposite. Eut nothing indigestible,
j Avoid all green and half-matured vegetables and
, fruits. Pay strict attention iu the cleanliness of
the surface of your bodies , and, above all, begin

strongest protection against the coming epidemic.

Improvement'
I’M 111 IS article compare fin ora-
Jl bly with any of like character JSfe:
in the known world.
I find that by putting it in the form
of a Soap it giVes it a decided advan sBbS
tuge over any Balm, Salve, Liniment,
or Ointment that can be made for the cure of dis
eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir
tues from being impaired by age or climate, and
renders it very convenient for use.
its action is prompt, and at the same time harm
less, as it contains no mercurial or other prepara
tion injurious to the patient. This article, there
fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers,
Cuts. Flesh Wounds, Ring and Totter Worm, Piles,
Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt
Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvy, Sore
sch os, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac.,
extract scurf and dandruff from the head, thereby
preventing premature baldness. It is also one of
the beat remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will
cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses ■ extract
tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a
superior dentrifice to the teeth. Furs having soap,
it firms a rich lather, softening tile bearu, and
curing such sores as may he on the face.
In the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and
particular old sorts, this soap has proved a halm
indeed, by its wonderful healing powers.
1 can procure certificates innumerable were it
necessary, but believing that a single cake is only
requisite to prove its etlicacy as above stated, and
wishing to avoid everything like liumbuggery, 1
leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not
doubting they will then declare this to be the nc
plus ultra ot the age in the healing art.

\ E!U family should at once procure a hot
-J tie of the great Arabian remedy for man and
beast, called 11. (!. FARRELL'S ARABIAN l.lNl
MENT. It allays the most intense pains in a few
minutes, restores the synovial fluid or joint water,
and thus cures stiff joints ; it penetrates the flesh
to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, cures rheu
matism and palsied limbs of twenty years' stand
ing ; also, tumors, swelled neck, enlargement of
the glands, and is the best medicine for ailments
ot cat Re ever discovered, curing sweeny, spavins,
splint, and all diseases which require au internal
application.
Sun Ruins of years' standing cured by If. O'.
Farrell's Arabian Liniment.
Mr. 11. tl. Farrell— DoirSir: 1 had been af
flicted with the “Sun Pain” for the last ten years,
and could never get relief except by bleeding; but
by the use of It. G. Farrell’s Arabian Linimeut,
applied over the temples about three or four times
ft day, it was entirely removed, and 1 have felt
nothing of it since. I went into the stable one
night, to apply it to u horse’s sore leg, and being
very lame he stumbled and fell against tuv legs,
crushing and bruising them so hadlv that thov
turned black as my hat, rendering them' powerless.
1 applied your Linimeut, and was well enough in a
few days to go about again as usual. 1 also crushed
my linger in a shocking manner, by letting a back
log full upon it; your Liniment soon healed it up,
though. JOHN B. M’GEE,
LaSalle Precinct, Peoria Co., 111., Feb. 6, 1849,
| Esc/, furrier, of Sew Canton, 111., says: |
Mr. 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment has cured
some bad eases here, which every other remedy
had failed in ; one was u white swelling and con
tracted cords in tin' leg of a boy twelve years old.
The leg had withered away, and was so contracted
that lie had no us, of it. Three doctors had tried
their skill upon it in vain, and he teas fast sinking
to the grace, when the hoy’s father was induced to
try 11. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment. Before the
first bottle was used up, he came to Mr. B.’s store,
and the first words he said were, “ Mr. Barker, I
want all that Liniment you have in the store ; the
one bottle I got did my boy more good than all that
luid ever been done before.” That boy is now well
and hearty, and has free use of his legs. It is good
for sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings.
Look ovt for Counterfeits !
The public are cautioned against another coun
terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called
W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan
gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having
the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good
faith, without, the knot Kl. dial a counterfeit ex
ists, and they will je nl discover their error
when the spurious m, . s wrought its evil
effects.
The genuine article it manufactured only by 11.
G. Farrell, sole inventor and proprietor, and whole
sale druggist, N<>. 17 Main street, Peoria, Illinois,
to whom all applications for Ageu ies must be ad
