The next number of Tie Tribune for European
ctrculaturn,w?\ be iaiaed To Morrow Morsing,
at 9 o'clock. It will contain all the lateat news
ap to the time of going to preaa. The Canada
?kilt from Boston on Wednesday, at is o'clock.
Bp* Connecticut holds her StRte Elec?
tion to day. The contest is most spirited,
and the remit not free from doubt. We
have fears that, with distinctive Free Soil
ism to throw Whig votes away, and with
Cotton Unionism doing its best to carry
them directly over to the adversary, one
or two of the Whig candidates for Congress
may be defeated. But the Whigs can
carry every District, and why shall they
not ? Let no vote be lost, friends of the
good cause! but be early at the Polls and
relax no muscle until the last vote is polled.
Ex-Gov. Trumbull is one of the Whig
candidates for Representative in Hartford.
Ex-Gov. Toucey is his opponent. Wm.
W. Boardman is a Whig candidate in
New-Haven. A very heavy vote will be
j polled throughout the State. We expect
i to give the result to-morrow morning.
I OF* Massachusetts makes another
trial to complete her Congressional Dele?
gation to-day. We hope two Whigs will
be chosen.
The Commonwealth of thia morning has the fol
lowing:
The New Yobk Association pob the 8: ??? to ision ot
Gambling, and Marshal Tikey?Alarmed at the great
Increase of gambling, several highly respect >le and
wealthy business men of New-York, s short time since or?
ganized a Society for the Suppression of Gaming, and nave
already accomplished mach good, in answer to their
prayer,the Convention now in session at Annapolis for re
vising the Constitution of Maryland, have inserted a c'ause
forbidding the drawing of Lotteries after the charter for
the present one expire. Tbey contemplate a similar action
In Virginia and Delaware. Gratified at the recent move
meets of Marshal Tukey, the Association have sent him a
letter of thsnks, which, together with his reply, we shall
give as soon as wecan find room for tbem. In the mean?
time we hope our Legislature will aid the Marshal by
granting a more stringent law against gaming.
Jnaii rtn?l Law?Higher and l.swrr.
The right of a man to himself is under
adjudication at Boston?a grav* question
unde -iny circumstances, and especially
eu wr.dor those stotvaelly satiating. The
man claimed ae a chattel?Thomas Simm?
?lal >rs under the double disadvantage of
having a black skin and having been
reared in Georgia?? grave misfortune,
doubtless, but which only the lowest of
lower laws could construe into a crime.
He says and makes oath that he is of right
free even by slaveholders' law?that,
while he was but an infant, his father
bought him of his master?and his a'Tida
vit. we believe, has not been contradicted.
The master has witnesses on hand to prove
that Simms has for years been working for
said master's benefit, paying over ten dol?
lars per month indirectly to said master for
the privilege of working for a living;
which hard bargain Simms, finding war?
rant for it neither in natural justice nor
even in slaveholders' law, is indisposed to
persevere in. What he asks of mankind,
of the laws, and of this 4 model republic,'
is simply permission to work for such
wages as any one may 6ee fit to pay him.
and to receive the stipulated recompense
to his own benefit and that of his famih
instead of handing it over to another man
more intelligent and capable than himself,
who (this benighted 4 nigger? thinks) might
more reasonably and justly work for his
own living than suck it out of the marrow
of such poor creatures as the aforesaid
Simms, especially since the claimant has
doubtless lands, cattle and capital to help
him make his living easily and rapidly,
while Simms has only his two hands
wherewith to earn the sabsistence of him?
self, his wife and several children. We
must say that, without deciding whether
Simms is or is not a slave by Georgia law,
our sympathies are on his side, and we
heartily hope that he may find deliver?
ance from the yoke of bondage. If this
hope is condemned by American Democ?
racy and American Christianity, we must
abide the consequences?so must they.
? One rjuestion of the very gravest char?
acter is likely, we trust, to be raited in this
Simms investigation?namely that of the
the legal and constitutional powers of U. S.
Commissioners, so called, to consign men
into eternal Slavery. A Justice of the
United States Courts is nominated by the
President and confirmed by the Senate?
his powers, his duties, are clearly defined
by law ; if he exceeds the former or ne?
glects the latter, he is liable to impeach?
ment and punishment. To transfer the du?
ties of the Federal Judiciary to an indefin?
itely numerous class of persons known to
the Fugitive Slave Law as 4 Commissioners'
but utterly unknown to the Federal Con?
stitution, appointed irresponsibly and with
elastic and indefinit? powers?this is a
stretch of authority which at least demands
investigation. The Constitution guarantees
that no man shall be deprived of life or lib?
erty without4 due process* of law;' yet here
is a multitude of functionaries who have
come into view like toads after a shower,
and who are ?endin?' men and women into
eternal bondage when they certainly would
not Tcnture to try and sentence any one on
a charge of miil robbery or counterfeiting
tbe National coinage. The people have a
right to know whence these men derived
6Uch extraordinary powers, and whether
those who undertook to grant them had ad?
equate authority for so doing. Thia is no
cavil raised for the emergency. The right
of these Commissioners would have been
challenged and contested in Henry Long's
case bad that not been transferred to a reg?
ularly appointed Judge. At a highly re?
spectable City Meeting held in Philadel?
phia on the 15th of last October?when ao
Slave case was pending?the following Re?
solves were reported by F. C. Treadwell,
Esq. (a lawyer who has made the Federal
Constitution the subject of careful study for
many years) and were unanimously adopt?
ed, viz :
L ?eWrfd, That the Fsfirlre act lately pataed by Con?
gress to amend " An act respecting fugitives from jus
ttee, and person* escaping from the service of their mas?
ters, app'oTed m February, I7SS tdevtates in several tm
po'tant particulars from the Constitution of the United
States, and to the extent of such deviation is repugnant
thereto, snd berce void and of no binding effect, either
upon Courts, officers or people.
2. Acto/eed. That tbe Fugitive act aforesaid is repugnant
to the Constitution of the Untied States, in thai it seeks to
confer upon inferior officers, appointed by inferior Courts,
concurrent jurisdiction with the Judgea of tbe Circuit and
District Courta of the United States, whereas, by the Con*
stitution, the juriedic:ion of all cases m law and equity,
arising uneer the Conrtitution, is vested wholly aad exclu?
sively ? the Courts of the ' ntted States.
S. Retolted Thet inft nor ofheer, appo nted by the Courts
are not Courts, and cannot exercise jurisdiction as such in
any case with or without the authorry of the Courts or of
Congreta
4. Reeolred That the Courts of the United 8tates have
power to issue wrila of Habeas Corpus and all other writs
tot specially provided for by tbe statute, which maybe
necessary for ihe exercise of thetr respective jurisdictions,
and that in all cases of arrest of alleged fugitives from
service or labor, which may be brought before commission?
ers or other Inferior officers, the judges of the courta of the
United Slates, upon aun application are boaod to Issue
wrila of habeas corpus, and bring such rases, and bring
tbe respective parties to item before the courts for adjudi
cation.
5. Retolred, That the Judicial power of the United States
has no more riyht to decline Ihn exn'clse of a jurisdiction
which Is giver,, than to usurp that whli-h is not givea. The
one or tbe oiber would be treason to ihn Constitution. (Su
prrme Court, Cohens v Virginia. WharUm's Rep. 4f*4 )
6. Reiotved. That the Fugitive act eforxeald,in manyoiher
particulars too numerous tobe pointed out in the brief reso?
lutions of a public meeting, but particularly In Ita suspen?
sion of the writ of Habeas Corpus, is at war with the Con?
stitution and the liberty of the people of the United States,
and we call upon the people or ihls Republic to meet tn their
primary assemblies, and to take such measures, by memo?
rials to Congress or otherwise, as they msy deem just and
expedient to effect Its Immediate repeal.
?While such grave questions are pend?
ing before the J adicial tribunals of the Coun?
try?questions involving not merely the lib?
erty of a man, but the security of Liberty
in general?what should be the attitude of
the Public Press ? If every man charged
with crime is to be presumed innocent until
proved guilty?eurely the man charged
with no crime whatever, and not even
suspected of any, unless preferring to work
for the support of his own wife and chil?
dren rather than to pamper some idler's
luxury be a crime?should have at least
the prayers of every sincere republican for
bis deliverance. He should be presumed
his own man until a title to him had been
legally established by some one else. And
yet the following Editorial from the Sa?
tanic Press of Sunday is scarcely more
than a fair specimen of the manner in
v. li'u h thin and every case of an alleged
fugitive from Slavery is prejudged and
made the occasion of the basest appeals to
Northern cupidity by a majority of the
Cotton journals. Hear!
"The case cf Slmms. the Fugitive Slave who bad taken
np his residence In boston, was brought to a close yester?
day, as tar as the teatin.ony was concerned , and there la
very little doubt thai he will be delivered over to the agent
of bis owner. The t>v>denc? as to his identity was over
wtjeneaBBSJi and the counsel for Ihe fugitive bad nothing
with ?h>,h ior?f>tii!L Tig fanner cumi?otmii? ?r,n?
tuaut-r was postponed to Monday, at 12 o'clock, In order
to allow counsel to aruue the constitutionality of the Fu?
gitive Slave law, r t:d several technical points conceded
with it?such as whether the fugitive was entitled to a trial
by Jury, Ac?ell of which we expect will ha decided
a|ait silbe fugitive.
?' We racnoi but praise the authorities of Boston, State
as well aa Feeerel for the manner la which th?-v coadueied
this case II? Ars?Jett it our duty to censure them in mere
Irvei, for their supineness In allowing Shadracb to be rea
cued. and for the abaence of all preparations to enforce the
execution of ihe law, or to have It vindicated, in that case.
The rescue nf Ihsl fugitive inflicted a tti</ma on that city,
whl< i. could lie wiped off lu but one way. vl/ , by prevent?
ing a recurrence of It We now take pleasure In saying
that, up to this time at leset, they have oone their best to
convince the whole country tnat the lnbabiiaata of that
ci y are a law-euu-order loving people, and that no matter
bow much they may dislike the Isw. they w ill support It,
aa belog ihe expression of the will of Ihe majority of their
feliow-ci Ixena througbout the country They hare shown
that the Ganlsons am. Philltpsee, and other miserable aad
despicable fanatics, do not control their city, and that, de?
spite tbe ravtrgs of these loeene lanes they"wlil discharge
their duty to the Constitution, the Union, ard their Sou la
em fe'low-ritlzeDs. The eyes of tbe whole country have
been riveted on Boston su ce the arrest of Slmias. No one
cared about tbe slave, as a fugitive, nor his value. It Is the
principle Involved tn the case which made It Important ?
For the third time an effort was made to ascertain whether
or not the people of that city, and of Massachusetts, would
cr reply with ineir constitutional duties, or whether they
would disregard them under cover of the infamous Mghw -
law' ooetrltie propounded hy William H. Seward anl
adopted as gospel by the Abolition fanatics throughout the
Northern Stairs Thus far, at least, tn this case, the whole
horde ol disorganlrers from Seward down to Garrison,
have met w iih a defeat, notwithstanding their violent ap?
peals to the public to arm themselves and resist the execu?
tion of the law by force. Boaton has covered herself vrUh
g ory. and rendered ihe ultras of the South powerless ."
?Does any man believe that the au?
thor of the above is heartily favorable to
Freedom anywhere except in the gratifica?
tion of his own appetites ? What a mock?
ery must be the pretense of sympathy with
Kossuth, Mazzini, Mitchell or their com?
patriots by the craven soul who can thus
hound on hia fellow-citizens to the work of
depriving an innocent man of liberty for
ever, when no fault is even alleged against
him but impatience under Slavery ? Can
it be that, if Europe's illustrious exiles for
Liberty's take shall be enabled to reach
our shores, they will be compelled to gTasp
in amity the filthy hands which for base
lucre could pen such sentiments as those
above quoted ?
jy Chief Justice Bbonson, an Albany
letter says, has determined to resign his
office and remove fiom Albany to this
City to resume the practice of the law.
The inadequacy of the salary is given as
his reason for this step. If that is the
reason, we consider the step unjustified.
Mr. Bronson was first appointed a Jadge
of our old Supreme Court when he was a
young lawyer, with a very limited reputa?
tion. Unless oar memory is entirely at
fault, the appointment was deemed a very
green one, impelled by parry considera?
tions. We do not believe he could then
have earned at the Bar two-thirds of the
money the State offered and paid him. Bat
he has acquired capacity, experience and
fame in the State's service, and now cuts
her adrift because he can make more at
tbe Bar than she gives her Judges. We
can't consider this fair.
A few years since, our Jodicial sytera
was remodeled. Our Judges were all
thrown out and had to come in again (if at
all) by popular election. Then Mr. Bron
son might very fairly have declined longer
service. Yet ha accepted a nomination
and was elected, making no wry faces at
the salary. We think he thus pledged

Alexander Hamilton ?? th? Huben? Corpae,
The recent refusal of the Beech of Judges, iu
Rottes, to grant a writ of habeas corpus it but
another argument againit the arbitrary require,
roenta of the Fugitive Slave Law. A friend of
ours baa taken the trouble to search the writings
of Alexander Hamilton, one of the framert of the
Constitution, on this subject, and hands us the
following:
Alexander Htmiltonjin the Eederaliat,3:)-.2, says
in relation to habeas corpus and e.spout f-tcto laws,
"The creation of crimes after iberomiijlaslon of the fact,
or in oiber words, the subjecting of men to punishment for
thtrgs wblrb, when committee, were breaches of no law.
and the practice of arhitrars punishments We been i? Ml
ayei, Ik* farueite a*d moit formiinbi* inetrumenti of tyrai
ny. The observations of the judicious BiBclatone, lo ref?
erence to the latter are well wormy of recital:
'To bereave a man of life days lie) or by violence to eon
laaata his eatate, without accuaatlon or trial, would be so
gros? snd notorfooa an act of despotism as matt at once
convey alarm of tyraenny throughout the whole nation ;
hut confinement of the person, by seeretlv hurrying mm to
Jail, where hl? suffering* are unknown or forgotten, 1? a less
public, a lets striking, aed therefore a more tUnigerovi en?
gine of arbitrary government.' And as s remedy for this
fatalevtl.be Is everywhere pecullsrly empbatlcal In his
encumlum? on the A corjnu act, which In one place
calls tbe' bulwark of the Brttitb Constitution "'
[It it now supposed that the framera of the Con?
stitution ever contemplated the pauste of a law
of like fcaturea with the Fugitive Slave Law
of 1650?]
The World's Fair.?A respected correapond
ent writes to inquire about the cost of going to
the Great Exhibition at London, and aa the infor?
mation he deaires will be interesting to many
others, we put our reply into print.
The quickest way of crossing the Atlantic is by
the Collini orCunard line of steamers. On these
the regular fare is 1130 from New York to Liver?
pool by the Collini liae, and sr-'O by the Canard;
from Liverpool to New-York i-ii?, or $175, by
either line. We believe the Havre and Bremen
linea, which touch at Cowet. take passengers at a
aomewhat lower rate, and alto take second-cabin
passengers at halt price, or thereabouts. The Ca?
nard ahipa leave New-York and Boston on alter
nate Wednesday!; the American lines leave
New York every Saturday None of these lines
advertise excursion tickets out and back at lower
rates, and we do not know that they intend to.
A very comfortable way of going is by the City
of Glasgow, steamer, which'runs between Phila?
delphia and Liverpool, leaving the former place
on tbe l.'tb of May, and again the middle of July.
She takes passengers out and back fcr $200 inthe
first placet and $125 in the second
Then it it understood that the Great Britain it
sow fitting up to be sent over here for the pur
pote of taking pataengera to the Fair; and tbe
fine new ttetmer Pioneer, launched here on Fri?
day, will be employed in the tame aervice. Both
these ships will probably carry passengers in com
fort at reduced rates.
Fetitlea, there are the packet ahipt, which leave
almott daily with elegant and comfortable accom?
modations. The regular price of the voyage each
way, in the bett packets, it $100, bat as the com
petition it britk the ratea are not adhered to.?
We taw a keen chap the other day who came
over in a good ihip from Liverpool, in the beat
place, for $00. We pretume that it will bo pot
lible to procure ckbtiJ00 ticket??out and back
?on fine packet ahipt for from tiooto C125.?
We underttand alto that some packet! are going
to take visitors out and back and board and lodge
them on board at London, for frem four to aix
weeks, for tome $300, bat at to tbia we beve no
precite information.
From Liverpool to London the railroad fare it,
exprett traina, 49a ($13 25); lat claaa, 37a ($9 25),
and 2d claaa, 27a ($6 75); from Southampton to
London, exprett traina, 20t, and 17a od, ordinary
traint, 17? 6J and I2f. Traveler! who intend to
return home by the tarne route during the Fair,
may tave tomethiog by purchasing excartion
tickets on tbete rail way t.
In London the expente of living it great at
any time, but during tbia exhibition it will be
enormous. If you live at Mivart't, Fenton a or
Morley a?the bett hotels?your bill in ordinary
timet will range from $5 to $10 per day, without
any extravagance on your part; tbete eatablish
menti will probably not raite their pricet on bo
connt of the crowd. Bat a comfortable and quiet
tort of hotela may be found where the ratet vary
from $1 m) to $3 a dty, with ciean, though noe
ipacioua quartera. At moit London hotelt you
est a la carte, ordering and paying for whatever
you like, there being no table d'hote, or ordinary.
At good boarding bouiei in central lituitiona the
ordinary rate it from $10 to $15 a week. At
hotela and boarding bouaea the lodger it expected
to give gratuitiet to the tervanta. These eatab
lithmenta, will of course, augment their charges
aa much at potaible during the ruth to the Ex?
hibition. Bookt giving information on thete and
all other topica connected with the Exhibition
will abound in Etgland by the time it opent, and
every visitor will procure one of coarse.
? We tubjoin a rough ettimate of the expente
of going to London and thoroughly teeing the
Fair, with a glance at other thinga?by a man
who caret fcr comfort more than thow, and doea
not make it a principle to apend aa much money

advite nobody to go for the pleaaure of the thing

economy may get along for a good deal leas. For
inatance, an enthuaiaatic youth bent on learning
something from seeing the Fair, and having a
glimpae at the Old World, might pinch through it
for $125, by going out and coming home in the
tteerage of a packet and living in the moat eco?
nomical way. We pretume tome tuch will go,
and do not doubt that they will derive at much
benefit from the trip aa those who go in the more
agreeable way we have indicated.

? t Arms as the Court m Sweeten.
Correspondecce of Tbe Tribune.
Washington, Friday, April 4.
I learn by a private telegraphic dispatch, re
ceived here by a friend last evening, that Mr.
WeBSTEk is suffering even more seriously than
the public accounts of his illness would seem to
imply. He was in quite feeble health, and hail
been for some time troubled with loss of appetite
when he left here. He has not in fact onjoyed
sound health anytime these two or three years. 1
do not know whether Washington has been more
unhealthy than usual for the past two years, but
it is certain that as far as my own observervation
extends, there has been at least four to live times
aa ruuch disease prevailing here as I have ever
known anywhere North. And this is especially
the case with transient inhabitants. Few North
em men escape a fever or severe bilious attack
during the first or second y ;ar, and should each
sutler to the same extent as the present writer,
the public business would be seriously iacommo
ded. Mr. Wf.isster looked quite recruited when
he last returned from the North, but he has been
gradually running down ever since.
A private letter from an American gentleman
now in Sweden mentions a diplomatic anecdote
of recent occurrences at that Court which has
some pith It appears that a newly-arrived Aus
trian Minister chanced to meet at a dinner given
by one of tbe members of the Government with an
accomplished and somewhat intensely American
Charge. While enjoying their cicars at ease after
the removal ofthe cloth, the Austrian cavalierly re
remarked, " Well, we came near having, a brush
with you." " Indeed ! How so ?" inquired our Min?
ister; "Ob, nothing," he replied,glancing around at
the company with a sarcastic amile," onlyfJeneral
Taylor tent a Minister to Kosmth rather too toon."
A quiet laugh around the board greeted the hit.
The existence of Mr. Webster's reply to H?lse
man was not at that time known to the parties
present; but our Minister had received it and
was charged with it doable shotted. Turning
upon the Austrian, he poured oat upon him ;?<.
French] successive rounds of its heavy artillery,
occasionally ioterluding with grape and canister
He charged home upon him with that wily hit
whereWebsterquotes the opinion of the Austrian
Emperor Joseph II. nntil the discomfited repreaen
tative ct the Scharwzenburg Ministry cried peccari
amid the delighted laughter of the much amused
company. The General in-Chief of the Swedish
Army, a man of high standing and an intimate of
the King, and who ia a liberal, appeared to enjoy
tbe affair exceedingly. Tbe introduction of the
subject at all was rather mal apiopot on the part
uf the new Austrian Minister, and he has probably
by tt.ia time- repent*. A lue cavalier* PaJhSfilf.
He attempted however to get out of the dilem?
ma by saying that his Imperial Majesty, Joseph
II, was a very eccentric sort of person, and that
his miscalled liberality bad leu to aiost of the dif
ticulties with which they had since contended But
he found little sympathy, aa tbe party laughed at

The writer of the letter from which 1 have ob
tained this information, who haa seen something
of European Coorta aad is likely to see more,

WOLTER VON TWILLER,
The Warehouse Leasea-Th*) True fjtory.
Correspondence of The Tribun*.
WtsHiNGToM, Saturday, April 3.
I pon inquiry I am officially informed that thu
" impressions," editorially stated in The Tnbune
of Tuesday, April l, in reply to a casual corres
pondent from this city, with reference to the
Warehouse leases, are in accordance with the
facts. During the first aeasion of the last Con?
gress, tbe writer was shown very many letters
from Now-York merchants, bitterly complaining
of the Warehouse System as conducted under
those leases My attention being called particu?
larly to the subject, 1 obtained a statement made
out by the Commissioner of Customs, which was
published in a New York journal with which I
was then corresponding. That statement was
substantially tbe same as the one recently pub?
lished in TLe Tribune, as nearly as my recollection
serves. It set do wn among others, Messrs. Curtis
Jc Buggies as receiving ?61.200 for the rentof the
Atlantic stores ; Asa Fitch for tbe Warehouse in
Exchange place, 139,795 \ John It Peters for the
Broadway stores $16,000. Chas. March $l0,000for
stores in Broadway and New at. [That official
statement iacow mthehandsof a New-York City
Member of tbe late Congress- Some little time
after this statement appeared, a move was made
in Congress, and a resolution passed, authorizing
tbe Secretary of he Treasury to rent these stores
if he could obtain for them any reasonable sum,
atid adopt the system of private Warehousing.?
Accordingly Mr. CoKwi.t visited New York for
that purpose, but was unable to obtain anything
that could be considered a bid. He could fret no
svbstuntial offer, reasonable or unreasonable. In
tl.is state of afiaira be was obliged to pocket the
loss of te' l.OoO, [which your correspondent cor?
rectly stated,] and do the best be could with tbe
leases, as he had do authority to lose the whole
amount of over 8200,000. If any patriotic or in?
terested individuals can help the Government oat
ol tl.is dilemma, I can venture to assure them that
they wiii be joyfully accepted.
I will now come to tbe * correspondent's com?
plaints BLd charges more parii :ularly, one of
which, however, I have answered.
These exorbitant warehouse leases were made
by Mr. Secretary Walker in 1848. Neither the
late nor the present Whig Administrations are In
any way responsible for thetr existence or contin?
uance, aa! have showed above. The correspond?
ent's intimation, therefore, that Mr. Wibster's
friends were served in the matter amounts to
nothing as against any Whig Administration.
I will state that it is firmly believed here that
those Whigs whose names appear upon the face
of these speculations in Isaacs, only cover " Dem?
ocrats," who, like Father Ritchie, stands behind
their agents, not wishing to be publicly known as
the actual parties to a transaction of this charac?
ter with a " Democratic" head of the Treasury.
