In the impeachment court, n resolution was tlun.lly passed, allow? ing unlimited speeches, oral or writ? ten, by the managers and defence. .The galleries, are crammed. Un? limited speeches will probably pro? long the trial ten days. In the Senate, after half a dozen .propositions had been voted down, the following was adopted: That as many of the managers and counsel for the President as desire to do so, be permitted to file arguments, or address the Senate orally. Chase then ordered Bout well to proceed. Bo ut well said that the Chief Magis? trate of the principal Republic of the World was on trial. The object of the proceeding was not punishment for. offences, but the safety of the State. The issues between the Presi? dent and the House of Representa? tives are technical and limited, name? ly: Whether Johnson violated the Constitution and laws in removing Stanton and appointing Thomas. Boutwell sets forth the evils probably following the acknowledgment of the President's power to remove officers at pleasure!.

BALTIMORE, April 22.-Tho steamer Berlin, from Bremen, has arrived, with 770 passengers. Mr. J. Harris, iu the American Agriculturist, thus speaks of laud lost by fences: "How much land i does au old-fashioned fence occupy? I have always thought it took up a great deal of land, but never had tho curiosity to measure. But this sum? mer we have been building a stono wall along the whole West sido of the farm, aud after it was comploted, and the old fence removed, I was surprised at the quantity of laud wo had gained. Tho ground, of course, might have been ploughed closer to the fenoe, but taking the case as it ncbually was, the old rail fence, with stones, weeds, rubbish, Sec., ocoupied a strip of land one rod wide. Afield, thirty-one rods long and thirty-ono rods wide, contains about six acres. A farm of 160 acres so fenced would have twenty acres of land taken up in this worse than useless manner. Not only is the uso of the land lost, but it is in the majority of cases a nursery of weeds, and, in ploughing, much time is lost in turning, and the head-laud corners areseldom properly cultivated." "During the recent war tire Go? vernment bonght 27,000,000 pounds of gun-powder;" and succeeded in blowing up the Union-after the gun-powder had been exhausted.

The marine circles of .New York, Liverpool and London are ut present alike deeply excited regarding the termination of a great ocean steam? ship race, which had its inception, preparation and commencement at this port, yosterday. Since it has been announced, at first very cau? tiously, that a race across the Atlan? tic from New York to Queenstown, had been agreed upon by the agents of the Liverpool, New York and Philadelphia Steamship Company, (Inman line,) and the British North American Boyal Mail Steamship Company, (Cunard - line,) the excite? ment has day by day increased, until it assumed a pbaso that one almost unconsciously recalled the great in? terest manifested iu the memorable ocean yacht race. This interest be? came more intense when it was di? vulged that the steamships selected to decido which of these companies should, by a well matured contest of this character, bo proclaimed the champion line, wero, for the Inman line, the magnificent City of Paris, and for tho Cunard line the equally haudsome Cuba. Speculation imme? diately followed, and thoso at first only curiously inclined, became quite enthusiastic respecting tho perform? ances of tho vessels, while a legion of critical remarks wero inevitably in? terpolated as to tho abilities of their commanding officers. Of course sug? gestions of tho br^cr nature, what? ever the character of tho praise they meted out, could throw but little light on the result of tho contest, yet it nerved them to strengthen their position of surmise by offors to bet, *aud hotting became quite the rulo among tho merchants of our city, greatly increasing as tho hour of de? parture arrived. The cable flashed tho news to Liverpool and London, and there, equal in extent to that in? dulged in here, have tho merchants been speculating and betting upon the result. There tho Cuba is tho favorite, but iu this city the City of Paris is thought to staud tho better chance of victory. Tho mutually agreed conditions of the great contest wero that tho ves? sels should be upon their berths ns usual, receive passengers and cargo as before, but to sail at 2 o'clock p. m., Saturday, April 18, 1808. The grand stako for which tho vessels, besides tho honorable titlo of cham? pion, are contending must be enor? mous, but the amount has not been made public, perhaps never may be known; yet whatever it is, it will be uuu <* mi ivj pox uauuigo oi me, money staked upon tho result, it being said that one wealthy and enthusiastic in? dividual of this oity is interested to tho extent of $5,000.

The South Carolina elections;' in? volving the vtktificaion of the radi? cally reconstructed State Constitu? tion, a Governor, Legislature and members to the lover House of Con? gress, appear to have gone pretty thoroughly ' radical. The results could hardly be otherwise, under uni veio i negro suffrage in a State which numbers 400,000 blacks against 300, 000 whites. In Louisiana, from some splits and dissensions among the Republi? cans, the results of the elections in progress are doubtful, although it is probable the Constitution will be ratified, from the general turn-out and fusion of the Republicans, blacks and whites, radicals and conserva? tives on that question, against the opposition party. In Georgia, where the registered voters oh the two sides are nearly equal in numbers, and where the elements in opposition to the radi? cals are prepared for a vigorous fight, there is a fair prospect for a general radical defeat. Tho elections come off this week and are to continue for five days, beginning to-morrow. In North Carolina, the elections, beginning on Tuesday of this week, will last three days, oa ratification of new Constitution, choice of Go? vernor, Legislature, &c. As the Re? publicans have two tickets in the field, radical and independent radiaal, and as the registered white voters in this State are in a heavy majority, the presumption is that for the offices involved, the conservatives will carry the State. The Florida election is also close at hand, but there, from thc majority of the registered blacks, the resnlt will most likely be radioed through? out. The Virginia and Mississippi Con? ventions are just closing up their arduous labors; Arkansas is on the way to Washington for admission into Congress, while Texas is only about to begin the work of framing a radical Constitution, according to the pattern prescribed by Congress. What has become of Alabama we hardly know, though we suppose she is held back, to be slipped in ' quietly under President Wade that is to be. There are, however, so many hitches and difficulties and troubles to the radicals in all these Southern elections, that we fear the task of setting the States concerned right side up, will be more than a match even for "Old Ben." \New York Herald.
