Nsw YORK, April 9.-Tho- steamship At?

She reports that in the Straits of Dover,
on tba evening of the 25th of March, she
experienced the severest storm that has
swept over the English coast for several
years,- < ? ' ^ ' -
Among her passengers is an accredited
agent of tho I. It. 15., who accompanied
Stephens in his flight through England to
Pans, where he arrived safely, and is now
probably on bis way. to America.
At the time of his departure from Ire?
land, Mrs, Stephens was at Cork, eu route
for America.
All steamers and v?asela were then un?
der watch by the authorities. Stephens
was at that time in London.
The I. H. B. agent says there aro 250,000
disciplined men ita Ireland, ready for tho
order to strike for freedom.
The British array, in Ireland, is 40,000
strong, bnt about one-half are Fenians.
There ia not a single regiment in which
there has not been arrests for Fenianism.
A DESTRUCTIVE FIUE IN HATTI.
Under date of March 2, a correspond?
ent gives an account of a disastrous
fire, which occurred at Port-au-Prince
on the morning of the 19th. The
flames spread with astonishing rapid?
ity, creating the utmost consternation
among the inhabitants. It appears
but little effort was made by the peo?
ple to subdue the fire, they giving
their attention more particularly to
robbery and plnnder. The Govern?
ment troops did nothing, and, in ?
fact, little could be done for the want
of fire-engines. . The cause of the fire
is not stated. It burned for thirty
homos, consuming thirty-three blocks,
embracing about 1,000 houses. Be?
tween eight and nine thousand peo?
ple are without a home, and great
distress prevails. Many people who
were rich before the fire are now re?
duced to penury and want. The
crews of foreign vessels in the harbor
lent active aid in saving property.
The aggregate losses had not been
ascertained. Port-au-Prince is the
Capital of Hayti.
THE LATEST "HOAX.-It now turns
out that the late reports concerning a
Fenian expedition having sailed from
New York were all a great hoax. So
far as can be learned, the principal
object of parties in circulating these
sensational stories is to raise money.
That the Canadians have been thor?
on gly frightened though, no one can
deny. A gentleman who came to
Charleston, on the Quaker City, in?
forms the Courier that he left Canada
in order to avoid being drafted, as
the authorities were obligedlo resort
to that method of raising a sufficient
number of troops to defend the
frontier.
THE PRESIDENT AND THE Crvm
RIGHTS Binn.-The Washington cor?
respondent of the Baltimore American
thinks it very probable that the Pre?
sident, while executing the law of the
civil rights bill in good faith, will
urge the States to appeal to the Su?
preme Court, which, he thinks, will
declare the bill unconstitutional.
A despatch from Portland, Me., of
April 9, says, about 200 Fenians sailed
for Eastport, Me., on the British
frontier, in the steamer New Bruns?
wick, this afternoon. The boat was
unable to take the arms this trip, and
a schooner was chartered for the pur?
pose.
A convention of Southern railroad
officials is to be held in Chattanooga,
on Wednesday next, for the purpose
of taking into consideration matters
of great interest to the different roads

A servant girl in St. Louis, Missou?
ri, who had been accused by her em?
ployer and arrested for stealing,

imprisonment.
The Staffordshire (England) manu?
facturers have advanced tho prices of

B*d Advice. . , J
Senator Saulsbury, of Delaware, is
an appropriate Repr?sentative of that
diminutive State. He is a very small
bat an exceedingly impulsive politi?
cian. The honorable Senator is said
to.be addicted to deep potations, and
sometimes, therefore, makes an egre?
gious donkey of himself. . He is,
however, a most fearless conservative
and consistent Democrat, and de?
serves to be forgiven- when he stag?
gers occasionally to veiy foolish con?
clusions.
At tho meeting of a Democratic
association in Washington the ot ber
night, Senator Saulsbury said he was
weary of supporting a man who
would not help himself. He was a
warm personal friend of President
Johnson, but ho was "tired of sup?
porting a man who let the Connecti?
cut State election go against him
when "he could have prevented it;
who gives his offices to men who are
his personal enemies; who keeps a
Cabinet about lum not one of whom
is a friend to him, and who has
scarcely a member in Congress to
support his measures."
? AU of this talk is very foolish, and
affords the most intense pleasure to
the revolutionists. The position of
President Johnson is peculiarly em?
barrassing, and ho is more likely to
be injured by unwise friends than by
implacable enemies. ? In the present
condition of art airs, no one expects
that the President should become thc
leader of either of the old parties.
The formation of a new and power?
ful party, and its gradual crystaliza
tion around the leading measures of
his administration, is what alone will
rescue the nation fro.ii the perils
which surround it. We sympathize,
however, with Senator Saulsbury in
his earnest longings for the speedy
removal of those officials who art
notoriously using thc influence ol
their places in the Cabinet to break
down the President. We cannot
doubt tho purpose of Andrew John
son to drive from his Cabinet hi*
avowed enemies, and we only regret
that the time for their expulsion ha?
not yet arrived.
We do not attribute the tardiuest
of the President in removing Stinton
Harlan and Speed to want of nerve
No man, since the days of And rev
[ Jackson, has possessed more deter
mined pluck than the President
Wonderful moral and personal cou
rage has characterized his long poli
tical life. But the great and control
ling object of thc President Ls t
gather around him the good, patri
otic men of all parties, for the pm
f>ose of saving the life of tho rcpnl
ic. He cannot do this by giving a'
the offices of the Government to th
patriotic, but hopelessly feeble mi
nority to which Mr. Saulsbury bi
longs. It is, undoubtedly, his pm
pose to remove the revolutionist
from office, but time is required t
find ont who are his friends and \vh
his enemies. Violent and irrccoi
cilable as is the quarrel between th
President and the revolutionists, it
of very recent origin. His enemh
sailed under false colors until Stevei
and Sumner rau up tho black fl ig <
war to the knife a few weeks ago.
The smoke has not yet cleared u
sufficiently for the President to di
tinguish friends from enemies, ail
he wishes to make no mistake whe
he, among the paltry office-holder
puts the guillotine fairly in motio;
The advice which Senator Saul
bury gives to the Northern Dem
craey to break with the Preside)
upon the question of spoils is tl
counsel of a very foolish advise

had the pleasure of quite a lengthy
interview with this distinguished gen?
tleman, then on his way to Washing?
ton to present his credentials as re?
cently elected United States Senator
from the State of Georgia. It would
be quite impossible to give any accu?
rate account of the views that fell
from him in the course of our con?
versation; and. we will not essay the
task. The general impression, how?
ever, m ado upon us was, that he re?
garded the political sky as dark and
gloomy in the extreme, but neverthe?
less he seemed content to wait in pa?
tience for the developments of the
future.
In speaking of the freedmen and
tho chances of agricultural prosperity,
under the new system of free colored
labor, he expressed this remarkable
view : That the labor of the present
year, in his opinion, would be more
efficient than in any coming year.
Keckouing upon this subject on phi?
losophical principles, he says that thc
lower races of mankind, such as the
negro, are wanting in that degree of
perseverance which is essential to
success in any aim; that, therefore,
in their earliest efforts since they have
been made free, they will display a
spasmodic energy and industry; tliat,
in a short year or two, they will grow
weary of the task before thom, and
relapse into comparative listlessness
and inactivity.
His conclusion, therefore, is, that
the largo mass, on account of idle?
ness, will fail to make a living, and
that, consequently, they will rapidly
die ont.-Clarksville Tobacco Plant.
SUPPRESSION OF TUE SI4AYE TBADE
BY SPALN.-A new bill has been intro?
duced into the Spanish Cortes, and
referred to a committee, for the sup-1
pression of thc slave trade and tho
punishment of slave traders. It is
very stringent iu its provisions, aud
imposes heavy penalties for titting
out slave ships, or introducing ne?
groes as slaves into Cuba and Porto
Rico; for example, from twelve to
twenty years' imprisonment in irons,
and a fine of $1,000 for every negro
landed in these islands. Death is the
penalty allotted to captains and other
officers of vessels who resist Spanish
vessels of war while intercepting the
trade, and so on in like proportion to
owners of slave ships, or all who aid
and abet in tho abduction of negroes
from Africa, and their introduction
to tho islands of Cuba and Porto
Rico. It is but recently that measures j
I have been set on foot in Brazil to I
abolish slavery in that empire, and if
this law should pass in Madrid, the
only twu countries which sustain the
system with any force will have aban?
doned it, and it will soon vanish from
tho face of tho earth. Portugal is not
yet bound by any treaty to suppress
the slave trade, but she is of very
little account. Tho object of this
new law in Spain is obviously intend?
ed not only to destroy the slave
trude-for Spain is pledged tn that
already-but to abolish slavery in her
West India colonies. If, therefore,
this bill should pass, and the contem?
plated movement in Brazil should be
carried out, this country, which has
undoubtedly stimulated these pro?
ceedings by our recent action on tho
slavery question, will have tho glory
of setting a bright example to all tho
world in the establishment of human
freedom. It is a mission for which
Providence has manifestly designed
this republic, and whether these
measures in Spain and Brazil aro
brought to a happy issue at tho
presest moment or not, they aro sure
to be perfected before long.

AN IMPORTAXT DECISION. A case
of considerable importance to bank?
ers and dealers in Government secu?
rities has boen decided by thc Trea?
sury Department. The case is as fol?
lows:
Tho Traders' National Bank, of
Chicago, some months ago, purchased
from another banking institution a
81,000 10-40 bond, which was sent to
Washington with other bonds, as a
basis for circulation ; but, on its ar?
rival there, it was found to answer
I tho description of a bond stolen from
a party in Ohio, and for which a carrot
had been filed by tho person from
whom it had been stolen, on the
ground that, as stolen property, he
was entitled to it wherever found.
The ease has been under advisement
several months, and bas at last been
decided in favor of the Traders'
j Bank, by the Government passing the
; bond to the credit ofthat institution,
I and issuing a registered bond there
j for. This decision makes the dealing
j in Government securities a much safer
? business, as it affords protection to
j innocent parties.

The If ouse Committee on foreign
j Relations are nearly unanimous

j Mexican bonds to either $30,000,000,

1 The New- York correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial says: I
In the announcement of deaths,
pnblishedbyoneor two of our papers,
on Monday, appeared the informa?
tion that ono jf/hillip Burrows died
recently in a town in Italy. But it
seems to have escaped the Usually re?
tentive memory of our public that
emite a long tale hangs upon this
little item of mortuary news; for this
same moribund individual was once
a lawyer of some prominence hero,
enjoying a large and lucrative prac?
tice, and in the confidence of many
of our Jbeavirst capitalists and real
estate owners.
He was counsel for the Renseloers,
A. T. Stewart, and others, in his day;
his brother being, while living, a
partner of the great dry goods mer?
chant. In an evil day, however,
Pliillip Burrows went back on both
his clients and Iris character by sud?
denly eloping for parts unknown,
taking with him a large amount of
money temporarily entrusted to his
care by several estates, quorum mag?
num pars was tho handsome sum of
8500,000 belonging to the Van Ken
selacr family, and paid to him by Mr.
Stewart, as tho purchase price of thc
Metropolitan Hotel, then just bought
by Mr. Stewart for the sum na ed.
Burrows was at the time acting foi
both parties to the transaction, and,
upon delivery of the deed of proper?
ty, was promptly placed in funds h?
the purchaser. But the temptatioi
was too strong to be resisted, and th?
legal gentleman incontinently packet
np his duds, gathered together wha
little of other people's finnis he coull
get at handily, and started for Tus
cany, where such things as requisi
tions and extradition nuisances ar?
ignored, lt is said that one or tw<
of his victims followed him up with ;
sharp stick; but when they came b
bring law to bear upon him, he wa
swift enough to turn the table o:
them, whcn-In- they not only los
their suit, but had to foot hcav
Costs.
In respect to the Metropolitan H<

Rensselears did not get a dollar f<
that handsome property. The baili
i ogs having cost them nearly $r>00
