Kosta Still in Prison..It appears from a let¬ter in the New York Evening Post, dated at Con¬

stantinople, Oct. 2d, that Mr. Offley,the AmericanConsul at Smyrna, protested against Koszta's re¬

lease on the ccndi'ions prescribed by Baron deBruck, and acceded toby Mr. Marsh; and refusedto demand it ol the French consul upon suchterms. Koszta himself, it is said, took the same

view of the case, and refused to be liberated on

there conditions, and at the date specified, he stillremained in prison. The following is an extractfrmn the Post's letter:Though this arrangement (between Baron de

Bruck and Mr. Marsh) appears liberal on the partof Austria, and honorable to the United States, itis s id here that the Consul of the Uniud States at.Mnyrna has refused to demaDd Koszta's releasefrom the French Hospital in which he is closelyconfined and striofly guarded, on the ground thatthe Austrian Government should not be allowedto siafe in it any reservation of "rights," and belequired to admit of the legality of his arrest. The

>¦ Consul requires that Kocsta shall be, note, aban¬doned by Austria, and acknowledged by her as be-in; an American citizen. Until then he refuses toobey the instructions of the Amnion Minister onthe subject of his arrangement of Koszta's Imme¬diate release, whilst his nationality is under dis¬cussion by the two Governments. It is also ssidi hat he lias put up Ko.'zta by protest against theAineljpan Minister, and to refuse to leave hitprisonand be restored tofreedom in the United States.

EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.

DETAILS OF THE NEWS BY THE ARCTIC.

The Eastern question continues unchanged inits ispeot. Below we publish the concluding por¬tion of the Turkish Declaration of War, which issaid to have been made known by Omer Pasha to

the Russian commander in a brief and soldierlikeIdler, notifying him that on the 25th inst.at latestthe slate of war would commence. The Czar on

his part, bad declared that the war should be a warof extermination. Meantime, the Fiench and

English negotiators think that their diplomacy will

serve to conGnelhewar to the Turkish frontier,without extending to general Europe. Austria andPrussia declare their neutrali'y in thecoming strug¬gle.

Tits Eastern Question.A private dispatchstales that when the Czar read the Turk's declara¬tion of war, he fell into a fury, and declared thathe retracted every concession he had made, andthat nothing now remained for him but a war ofextermination against the Turks.The Turkish Declaiation of War concludes as

follows:"Since the cabinet of St. Petersburg has not

been content with the assurances and pledges thathave been offered, since the benevolent efforts ofthe high Powers have remained fruitless, since,in fine, the Sublime Porte cannot tolerate or sufferany longer the actual slate of things, or the pro¬longation of the occupation of the Aloldo Wallachian Principalities, they being integral portionsof its empire.the Ottoman cabinet, with the firmand praiseworthy intention ofdefending the sacredrights of sovereignty and the independence of it'sgovernment, will employ just reprisals against aviolation of the treaties which U considers a casus

"It is distinctly understood that should the re¬ply of Prince Gortschakoff be negative, the Rus¬sian agents are to qui: the Ottoman Statts, and thatthe commercial relations of the respective subjectsof the two governments shill be broken off"Atthes^me lime the Sublime Porte will not

consider it just to lay an embargo upon Russianmerchant vessels, as has been the practice 1.011-

" ^'ote°ver, the Ottoman Government beingunwilling to place hindrances in the way of com¬mercial intercourse between the subjectsof friend¬ly powers, will, during the war, leave the Slrailsopen to their mercantile marine."

t he Porte lias further addressed a manifesto 1othe four Powers, but it l.ad not been published..As Iskandor Bey, aid-de-camp loCmer Pacha, wasin Paris, charged with a special private mission tothe Cabinets of France and England, he was prob¬ably bearer of the manifesto.The usual mail steamer from Constantinople.

October 6th, had airived at Marseilles, and report¬ed from Besiko Bay that :be fleets were preparingto enter the Dardanelles. Admiral Oundas hadsent his wife home to England, out of the way ofdanger.On the 3d the Russian fleet airived at Odessa

from Sebastapol to embark troops, as was believedfot Kedoutkale.The Paris 'Seicle' states that France and Eng¬

land have sent a joint note to Russia, demand¬ing the immediate evacuation of the Principali¬ties, as a preliinina:y measure, before they enteiupon the mediation, which they are still willing toundertake.

Omer Pasha is stated lo have written to the gov¬ernment offering to cross the Danube and force theRussians from their "position, if 60,000 more menbe given him. Notwithstanding this, it was con¬sidered doubtful if I ostilities would commence onthe D-rnube this winter, as neither commanderwould choose to have such a river in his rear. TheRussians are posted in three strong bodies, so thatthey might attempt lo cross the river simultaneous¬ly at three points.The report that the Schah of Persia had agreed

to assist th'jRussians is contradicted, and the coun¬ter statement is made that the Persian fjrees will.id the Turks.Release of Koszta..Baron de Bruck, the In¬

ternuncio of Austria to the Sublime Porte, has ad¬dressed a letter to the United States Minister, Mr.Marsh, in which he says: "The Imperial Govern¬ment, unwilling to confound the individual withthe cause, has just authorized me to come to an

understanding with you, M. ]e Ministre, on theliberation of Martin Koszta, and his conveyanceto America, and to settle the terms of the arrange-ment relative to it, in accordance with the offerwhich you previously made to me. For that pur¬pose Koszta will take his passage at Smyrna, un-der the surveillance of our consular authorities re¬spectively, on board a vessel-of-war of the Unitedstates; or, in default of that, on boaid of one ofthe American merchant ships which frequentlytouch at this season, at the said port, and at themoment when it sails :or the United States direct¬ly, without touching at any intermediate port,except in case of a serious casualty or any other

Kozsta must be provided with an American pass¬port, which shall expressly prevent him fromchanging, his route, or quitting the ship before ilshall have arrived in America. The ImperialGovernment, however, reserves to itself to taktmeasures against the said individual, in conformii jwith its right, should he ever again be found inthe Ottoman territory. As that arrangement is inaccordance with your propositions, I expect fromyour kindness, M. leMimstre, that you will givethe necessary orders at Smyrna, and inform me olthe fact, in order that X may give similar instruc¬tions to the Consul-General of Austria in the saidcity.

Mr. Marsh promptly replied, accepting the ar¬

rangement, and after proposing details for hu

prompt release, says:"In concluding, I am happy to be able to ex¬

press the opinion that my Government will find,m the readiness with which his Imperial Majesty,the Emperor of Austria, has been pleased to ac¬cede to the arrangement proposed, and permit me

to rdd, in the conciliating course pursued by you:Excellency during this disagreeable affair, a ver]gratifying proof of the amicable disposition and thtmoderation of the Austrian Government ana of iUfunctionaries, and I hope that the points ot differ¬ence still existing between the two Governmentswill be arranged in a manner entirely compatiblewith tho dignity and honor of both.

The Jatjin Expedition..The following inter¬esting account of the movements of the expedi¬tion is from the North China Mailt of August 11th.The nppeurnnce of the steamers.the first evei

seen in Japanese waters.with theollier vessels intow, moving with all sails furled, at the rate olnine or ten knots an hour, appeared to produce a

considerable sensation among the Japanese, andall the trading junks, with which the buy was

crowded, carefully kept out of their way.As the vessels were coming to anchor, two shells

or rockets were fired into the air from a batteryabout a mile distant, but apparently as a signal,and not as a token of hostility. Several govern¬ment boats immediately came off and endeavoredto put on board the usual notifications to foreigners,warning them to depart. They were not received,however, and the Deputy Governor of Uraga, whowas the only person allowed to come on board,was notified that, if the Japanese authorities en¬deavored to surround the ships with the usual cor¬

don of boats, it would lead to very serious conse¬

quences. A few boats nevertheless lingered aboutthe Susquehanna, but the sight of some warlikepreparations satisfied them that Commodore Perrywas in earnest, and they quickly retired. Duringthe stay of the squadron in the bay it was never

,afterwards visited by any boats, except those con¬

taining the officials through whom the negotiationswere carried on.The next morning, Yezalmon, the governor of

Uraga, and a nobleman of the third lank,; came

off, and, after ascertaining the object of the visit,asked for time to dispatch an express to Jeddo, inorder to communicate the information, and obtaininstructions how to act. During the three dayswhich elapsed before the answer arrived, the Mis¬sissippi made a trip of about ten miles further npthe buy, finding every where de^p sounding. Be¬yond the promontory of Uraga, a point which no

foreign vessel had passed before, she discovered a

largeand beautiful bightwhich was perfectly landlocked, & offered the most secure & commondiousanchorage. She was followed at a distance by a

numbt r of government boats, but none of them at¬tempted tointerfere with her.On Tuesday, the 12th, an answer arrived from

Jeddo, stating that the emperor had appointed anofficer of the highest rank to proceed to Uraga,and receive the letter of the President ofthe UitedStates, and satisfactory proofs having given toCommodore Perry that this appointment camedirectly from the Imperial Government, it was ar¬

ranged that the interview should take place onthe morning of the 14th.The Japunese seleoted the small town ofGoriha-

ma, nbout three miles south of Unraga, for the in¬terview. On the morning of the 14th the Susque¬hanna and the Mississippi took up a position offthe town, and lay with their broadsides to theshore. The Governor nnil Deputy Governor ofUraga, with the commandant of the militaryforces, borne off to accompany the Commodort tothe landing place. The officers and men detailedto accompany Commodore Perry amounted to a-bout400, while the force of the Japanese was

variously estimated at from 6000 to 7000.The Commodore was escorted with the American

colors Hying, and the bands playing thu nationalnir, "Hail Columbia," to the house of reception..Here he was received by the Prince of Idza, firstCouncillor ofthe Emperor, who was accompaniedby the Prince of lwami. The letter of thePresident and Commodore Peiry's letter of cre¬dence were formally delivered, and an tfGcialreceipt given in return by the two Princes. TheCommodore stated thai, in order to five theJapanesa Government ample time for deliberation,he would depart in three or four dnyK, and reluinin n few months to receive the reply.On the following day Comodore Perry, in the

Mississppi, went about ten miles beyond this, making a total distance of 20 miles beyond the limit ofprevious exploration. From thedeck ofthe frigatea crowd of shipping was seen seven or eight milesto the uortward; and, from the number of junkscontinually going and coming, it was evident thatthis was the anchorage in front of the capital.The officers of ;the Susquehanna aud Mississippispeak with admiration of the beauty of the shores,and the rich cultivation and luxuriant vegetationwhich they everywhere witnessed. The nativeswith whom they came in contact, were friendlyin their demeanor, and the governor of Uraga isspoken of as a model of refinement and goodbreeding.The day before the departure of the squadron,

the Governor went on boird the Susquehanna,taking with him a number of presents, consistingof articles of lacquered ware and other Japanesemanufactures.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.London Money Market, Monday evening..

The statement this morning, that the Emperor ofRussia has made the dealt ration of war by Turkeya fresh pretext for persisting in his aggression,caused the English funds to open with great heav¬iness, and the extraordinary continuance of rainoccurring again at sted-time added to the generalfeel.ng of depiession. Consuls for motley, whichleft off on Saturday at 92 to J, were first quoted91} to i with a very uusettled market, and, al¬though they afterwards advanceJ to 91}, the finalquotation was 9H to i for both mouey and ac¬count.

Liverpool. Oct 18..In many British countiesthe weather is reported very unpropitious, seedingextremely backward, and in some districts muchcorn still renmiiung out; notwithstanding which.

Having, as I trust, shown that the teasons whichyou have assigned are utterly worthless, it nowremains to iiiqui e what was the real ground of re-moval. It was not until the recent break in theparty at Syracuse that you found any cause otUUlIJJiltlllll agutu«t me Aftt.* tKa partyresolved into its original elements, without anyagency of mine, and by means which 1 could notapprove.after 1 had been compelled to choosebetween the two sections, and had very naturallyadhered to my old associations with the nationaldemocrats.after the paper which professed, with¬out rebuke,to speak the sentiments of the Cabinet,h3d taken the side of the free soil section, and de¬nounced as traitors those whotdhered to the prin¬ciples which brought the administration into pow¬er.then it was that you first discovered that I hadnol been sufficiently favorable to the free soil scc-

tio>i. Can any man of sense and candor entertaina doubt concerning the motive for your action? Ithink not. You intended to take ground againstthe national democrats, and throw the weight ofthe administration into the opposite scale. Themen who bad never swerved irom the principlesof patty, but lud stood fast by the Union when itwas in danger, were to be borne down by thestrong arm of power; an l because the Collectoroccupied a place of some importance, the blowwos to be rendered more significeiil by making itfall on bim. You then wrote me an insulting let¬ter, and placed a copy of it in the hands of anofficer of the customs, who whispered it about,and finally gave it to the press as a means of an¬

noying me. Whether >ou intended the officershoulu so act, is more than 1 can say; but so faras I have learned, he still enjoys your confidence.Andn w what was the nature of the controver¬

sy to which you have made the national adminis¬tration a party? It was not a conflict betweenDemocrats and Whigs, but between the two sec¬

tions ofthe Democratic party. No candidates fornational offices were in the field, and if the Free-soil section was honest iu proclaiming its conver¬sion to the principles of the Ballimoie platformand the inauguial address, there were no nationalissues atstake. It waspurely a New York quar-tel, involving questions of mrre State policy. Insuch quarrel a member of the Cabinet at Washing-ton takes sides, and, in effect, tells the Democratsof this State whom they must select for their localrulers, and what should be their policy in relationto canals and other matters of merely local inter¬est. Your denial on this subject can amount tonothing so long as the facts remain unchanged.

A->ide from the principle involved, ti e removalis a matter of little moment. I shall leave theoffice at the close of this day with greater pleasurethan I accepted it six months ago. But I havebeen assailed without cause, and there has been a

grots violation of the Democratic doctrine, whichdenies to the federal government the right to in¬termeddle with the purely internal affairs and po¬licy ofthe States. For these reasr-ns I have notfelt at liberty to let your letter pass without somenotice. I am, respectfully, yours,

GREENE C. BRONSON.Hon. James Gothrie, Secretary of Treasury.Reply of Greene C. Bronson to Secretary

Outline's Last Letter.York, Oct. 31, 1853.

Sm.If you hail been content in your letter ofthe 22(1 inst., with announcing my removal fromoffice, it would have been the enJ of our corres¬

pondence on that subject. But as you have at¬tempted to assign reasons fur the proceedings, Ihave something to say in reply.You deny the right of tne Collector to act with¬

out instructiuns from your department, in any case.

This doctrine is entirely new; for in much thelarger part of the Custom House, the Collector isguided by the revenue laws, and has al« ays actedwithout instructions from the Secretary of theTreasury. It is only where the law is of doubtfulconstruction, or the duties of the Collector havenot been fully prescribed by law, and where theSecretary has a dispensing power, that he has beenauthorised to iss'.ie instructions to Collectors. Andnone ot the'e cases have anything to do with theappointment of officers of the Customs. On thathead, the rights and duties of both Secretary andCollector have been prescribed by Congress, andneither can control the other when acting in hisappropriate sphere.

If, as you appear to suppose, tl e Collector cando nothing without instructions from your depart¬ment, the business which is now transacted in theCustom House in a single hour, could not be ac¬

complished in a month. Yon have' evidently settoo high an estimate upon tLe extent of your pow¬ers.The reason which yon have assigned for this

sweeping claim of authority, is as extraordinary as

the claim itself. Your words are, "where the de¬partment is no expressly empowered to give in-itructions to subordinates, it has the authoritylo do so, as inherent in the power to re¬lieve a refractory officer." Now, as I read theinstitution, the Secretary ofthe Treasuiy has no

power to remove a Collector, however refractoryle may be. The power of removal, as well as

ippointment, isvested in the President. You willlo well then to look for some better reason thanhe one you have assigned, for au unlimited au-

bority over Collectors in the selection of their^enls.

You think it singula that n gentleman ofmy; le¬gal acquirements and xpenenco should fall intothe error of assuming at the Collector appointsthe various persons era oyed in the Custom House.some with the appr ,'al of the Secretary, andsomeon the sole autho ty of the Collector, bin-gular as this may appe to you, it is the coutsewhich has been unifor dy piirshed since the foun¬dation of the governn nt. Weighers, measurers,nuagersandinspectorstiave been np-ointed by theCollector with the lpipval of Ihe Secretary,while clerks, porters, argemen, laborers nml otera,have been appoinl dby llic Collector alone. Ithas not only been siunder all former Secretariesof the Treasury, but diriiiR yo-Jr «w» t»PW> Allmy clerks, porters, cptmeii, lajurers, Sc., havebeen appointed witholtconsiiling you in any form,and you never intiuiald a doubt about the propri¬ety of this course unti you deemed it expedient tointerfere in the local joliticj. of New Vork.

Still you insist thalthe clerk* and nth r agentsof the Collector "deive their appointments Midtheir authority as puUie. "llio-ia Iroui tne Seoreta-ry of the Treasury alme. Die reason you assignfor this new and exlrivagant claim will show thatit is wholly without my legal foundation. Youplace it upon the institution of the UnitedStales, which provide that "Congress may by lawvest the appointinentof such inferior offices as theymay think proper.ir the heads of departments,Vou then add that 'Congiess has not attempted,nor if it had, could L have effected, any modifica¬tion of this provisior of the Constitution. Andhence you concludethat the appointment is in theSecretary It is realiW granted that Congress hasnot, and oannot nudify the Constitution ButslilPYour argument imounts to no more than this.because^ Congressmay by fa. vest the appoint

.f certain oi&trs in the Secretary ot theTreasury and Confess has not modified this constifutiona'l provision therefore the Secretary hasthe power of nppo ptment. In other words.be¬cause Congress mus, if it pleases, confer a poweron the Secretary, inu Congress l.as done nothingon ihf» subiect. therefore the Secretary has thatpower. Such is tl| law and such the logic of your16 iehive thus far issumed that you are right insupposing that the fclerks, porters, laborers, fitc. 111

the Custom House, are public officers within themeaning of the cof«titulion in relation to.appomt-ments. But, in truth, they are mereagents of theCollector, to aid m the discharge of the dutieswhich the law has imposed upon hull. lhe)r "ethe hands by which he works, -nil are no more offi¬cers in the sense of the constitution than are sol¬diers and sailors in the army and navv. ^Iieyhave never been treated, or eveu mentione.l byCongress as officers, appointed by the Collectors orany one else; but only as persons employed by theCollector. I hazard nothing in saying that theclaim which you have now setup has not a shad¬ow of foundation..either in the law of the land orin any former practice of the Government.You speak of 'unwarrnitable ;nssumptions, ana

a 'manliest spirit of insubordination' on my part,us a ground for the removal. But you have beenwholly unable to show that I assumed any thingbeyond my just rights, or that I was unwilling toact in obedience to your instructions, 111 all caseswhere the law had given you authority to direct.You must allow me to add, that insubordination inoffice does not necessarily prove inferiority; and be¬tween gentlemen, the relation of superior and sub¬ordinate confers no light on the one to useous language, and imposes 110 duty on the other tosurrender his legal rights.You complain that the remarks in ray former

letter impugn your motives. 1 did no more thanslate iacts.facts which you have not attemptedto controvert, and then said, -As to mo'ive of thismovement let others judge" If your motives havebeen impugned it is because the facts themselves,and not any word of mine, create the impeach-

Nothing in your letter has amazed me more thanwhat you say about my selecting free soilers foroffice No man ennread what was said in your firstcommunication without seeing that you called onme to appoint a larger portion of free soilers, orpersons who had left the demooralic parly andfollowed .Mr. Van Buren on the slavery qeslion in1848, than I had before done. You spoke of theparty as being divided into "different factions,and complained that my appointments had beengenerally made from that portion of the party towhich 1 adhered. You were not speaking of therecent division at Syracuse, for 1 had made nocominaliona after that event happened. You werespeaking of the different sections as they hail ex¬isted in the past. You know very well that Iadhered to that portion of the party which had notde erted the national standard in 1818; and no one

and its allies. And now you think it worthy of"animadversion" that I have "selected free soilers

f°YouCcannot escape under a quibble, I did notinform you, as you now find it convenient to state,that I had "selected free soilers for office .meaning person who are now free soilers. On thecontrary, I spoke of appointing none but ' sounddemocrats, sincerely attached to the principles ofthe party, and firm supporters of the nationaladministration." I spoke of "different sectionsof the party, just ai yoa had sp >ken ot them; andtold you, not tint "free soilers," but that "the freesoil section" had got its full share of the offices.Your "animadversion" derives all its force frommisrepresenting the langu i>geor your adversary.

M«.re might be said; but if in reviewing thisbranch of the subject, you can maintain your sellrespect, nothing that 1 can say would be likely toreach you.

... ,the English and Scotch markets, with few excep¬tions, appear to h»ve been less excited last weekthan before, and the leading articles of the tradereceding in value.

Judge McLean.We are any that the much esteemed Judge Mc¬

Lean has ga himself into difficulty with the pressin cjnsequaice of an order prohibit.ng the publi¬cation of thi testimony in the Martha Washingtoncase, whichis now on trial at Columbus; and we

regret to becompelled to say that we think theJudge is in:he wrong.

It seems hat the couns-1 for the defence, in thiscase, askedof the court that all the witnesses inthe case, eiept the one under examination,shouldbe excluded from the Court room, so that theremight be nocollusion between them, which was

granted; anl in order to keep the witnesses so ex¬

cluded froniknowing what other witnesses had tes¬tified, the crurt directed the reporters for the Pressnot to publfcb their notes of testimony until afterthe concluson of the trial.Judge McLean justifies this course on the ground

that if the jress be permitted to pub'lish the testi¬mony, the vitnesses will peruse it, and the objectof excludin; them from the court room, exceptwhen undeiexamination, will be frustrated. Thepresi, on tfe other hand, contends, and with greatforce, too, hat nothing is accomplished by puttingthis trammi upon the press; for, the court loom

being open'fo spectators, tbey can as readily con¬

vey to the oitside witnesses information of the tes¬timony deli'ered inside, as the press can do.One of tb Cincinnati papers having disregardee

the order ofthe court, and published notes of thdtestimony, in Wednesday last, which the reporterwrote down outriJe of the bar, the court orderedthe Marsha to remove him from the court loom,which was icoordingly done.

In the tine ofJudge Baldwin a similar questionarose here, but Judge Baldwin, although an arbi¬trary man it some things, did not dare to take theexieme measures now taken by Judge McLean.He claimed thei right to exclude reporters from the

I'i Sgffiff. '

inside oT Ihe bar, if tliey did not comply with thedirections uf tlio court as to the publication of tes¬timony, and was undoubtedly right in that; butailmi'teil their privilege to take notes outside ofthebar if they c»nld, and publish them if tliey chose.The outside of the bar, was free to all oomers whobehivedin an ordely mariner; nnd although des¬titute of conveniences for reporting, if any one

coullthere, they were at full liberty to do so.

Judge McLean, however claims the right to ex¬

clude reporters from the court room iftliey disobeyh>s orders; nnd ill fact aims to exercise a virtualCensorship over the press.On the question* involved in the case of

Judge M'Lean, we lake the following remarksfr in ihe Uincinii'iti Gazette:The practice, so far as v/e have any practice on

the subject, of excluding witnesses, did not orig¬inate in statute or common law. It is the crea¬ture of the Ecclesiastical L'ouits, and from themwin* introduced into the Civil Courts in Scotland,and theme into the Court of Excht-quer, in Eng¬land, where it was adopted a rule. It has, we

believe, never been adopltd u< n rulo ol prac¬tice iivlhe Common Law Courts in England or intliis country, though in bolh countries such or¬ders have been .sometimes made. The order ofexclusion in England is made on the party to thesuit to ke?p his witnesses out of hearing. Thepenalty for disobedience is visited on the party,and it is, the exclusion of the witness violutiugthe order, from testifying in the cause, or ad¬mitting him, siliject to comment as to his credi¬bility. The order of exclusion is accompanied bynotice that a isobedience of it will result in a

refusal to allow the contumacious witness io giveevidence in the cause. Pew, if any instances are

reoorded where the Court has undertaken topunish the witness for disobedience of the orderof exclusion. The power may be conceded to theCourts to make such order to operate on the par¬ties litigating before it; though it may admit ofquestion, whetherthey have power to make anysuch order to effect witnesses themselves, nndmore questionable still when the order effectspersons in no way connected with the case befoiethe Court, or only effects the public at large.The second order of the Court, that prohibiting

the publication of the testimony, u in very gene¬ral terms "to prohibitany one from publishing thetestimony from d.iy to day, as given to the jury,until all the witnesses on the part of the UnitedStates shall have been explained." Xt is not an

order on the parlies litigating, before the Court,and therefore, perhaps, subject to such order, nor

yet an order on the Reporters who are in theCourtroom, by permission or otherwise; but it isabroad order in its terms, affecting all personswhatever, and wherever they may be! If the Courthas authority to make such an order, it follows, ofcourse, that it is clothed with power to force obe¬dience to it, and to punish disobedience. The au¬

thority to make such an order has been denied bythe Circuit Court of the United States for the East¬ern Disirict of Pennsylvania. 2d Hill, p. 1U. Inthat case Judge Baldwin says: "liy Ihe act ofCongress this Court has no longer power to punishas for contempt, for the publication of testimony,pending a trial before us. We have, however,power to regulate the admission of persons, andthe character of proceedinys within our own bar,&c., * * and 110 person will be allowed tocome within the bar ol the court, fur the purposeof reporting, except on condition ofsuspending ullpublication, till ihe trial is concluded, &c.".This condition was acceded to by the reporters,and no publication was made till after the close ofthe evidence. Such an order, if our memory isnot in fault, was made in the celebrated Crowneu-ahield murd-r case, at Salem, Massachusetts, was

disregarded by a portion ofthe Boston press, andno move in court wasmade to punish the offenders.We do not believe tl.at Courts have any power

to prevent the publication of testimony. TheCourts, bylaw, are open to the public, and alltheir proceedings are necessarily subject lo publicscrutiny. They may exclude reporters Irom theBar, nnd deny them conveniences ior reporting;but if any citizen, in the exercise of his privilegeto attend the sittings ol the Court, chooses to takenotes of the testimony, he cannot be preventedIroinso doing; and if lie afterwards gives them tothe Press lie cannot be punished for it.

It will not do for Couits to war with Ihe Press.If Courts lr ve their rights, and are zealous iumaintaining them, they must not forget that thePress has its rights, also, which it will nut tamelysee invaded. The right to publish whatever trans¬

pires in public is one which newspaper conductorscan never honorably yield, and it ought never tobe meddled with. A J udge of the U. S. Court,who has a life tenure of his office, may feel a

little ahoveund beyond those who are affected bypub io opinion; butthe Press W "a power uponCUt in wuluti crtn uilluc itulUcro for iifc may not

despise.

The North-west Passage.From McClure's Distatciies.Hiohlt Interest¬

ing Narrative.The London Times of the 8th publishes the dis-

patches from Commodore McClure, to the BritishAdmiralty, relative to the discovery of the North¬west Passage, to which cursory reference wa-

made by the previous steamer. These dispatches,are very numerous and very voluminous. We p.e-sent below their most interesting and impoitan'feature.". The great point settled by Cominodor.McClure is this.he has managed to force his shipthe investigator, far enough through the icy mountains of Belnings Straits, to a point from whiclshe could communicate with others which had en

tered the Arctic Seas by the Atlantic passage. 1is well to note this fact, particularly.the impres¬sion having been created that the Investigator hadsailed from ocean to ocean, which is not the case

just yet.but it will be seen by Com.' MuClure'sdispatch below, that he lias no doubt he will beable to make a passage to England now throughDavi3' St: aits. Practically, therefore, he is enti¬tled to the credit of having accomplished the voy¬age from ocean to ocean.

The Investigator, while forcing her way throughBarrow's Straits. (Sept. 24th. 1862) from the westwas run ashore, the Commodore making his whiterquarters there.in the bay of Mercy. We givebelaio an interesting axtruct. And it is from thatpoint, be it remembered, that he now writes. Com.McC. is sanguine of returning home by way ofBaffin's Bay in 1854. Portions of the dsipalchesare exceedingly interesting.There are two remarkable discoveries mentioned

in Captain McUlure's Journal, viz: some smokinghillocks and a petrified forest. He also states thutduring his intercourse with the natives, he onlyonce met with any hostile demonstrations. Thisoccurred at Port Warr-.n, near the Mackenziewhere on attempting to land, two natives, withthreatening gestures, waved them olT. It was notwithout much difficulty that they were pacitied,and then they related that all their tribe but thechief and his sick son had fled on seeing the ship,alleging as a reason, that they feared the ship hadcome lo revenge the death of a white man they had

| murdered some time ago. They (through the in¬terpreter) related thatsome white men had comethere in a boat, and that they built themselves a

house and lived there; at last the natives murderedone and the others escaped they knew not where,but the murdered man Was buried in a spot theypointed out. A thich fog coming on preventedCapt. McClure Irom examining this locality,wniehis much regretted, as here is the probable positionwhere a boat party en.levoring to return by theMackenzie would, have encamped.Below we extract from the Commodore's jour¬

nal:.'The currents along the coasts of the Polar Sea

appear to be influenced in their direction more or

ltss by the winds; but certainly upon the west sideof Baring Island there is a permanent set to theeastward. At one time we found it as much astwo knots during a perfect calin; and that theflood tide sets from the westward .we have ascer¬tained beyond a doubt, as the opportunities aflbruedduring our detention along the western shore ofthis islaud gave ample proof."The prevailing winds along the American

shore, and in the Prince of Wales Strait, we foundto be N. £., but upon this coast S. S. \V. to N.W.

"A. ship stands no chance ofgetting to the west¬ward bv entering the Polar Sea, the water alongshore being very nnirow and the wind contrary,and the pack impentrable; but through Prince ofWales Strait, anl by keeping along the Americancoast, I conceive if practicable. Drilt wcod is ingreat abundance upon the coast of Prince of WulesStrait, and on the American shore, also, muchgame."In this vicinity the hills abound in reindeer

and hares, which remain the entire winter; we

have been very fortunate in procuring upwards of4,000 lbs."The health of the crew has been, and still con¬

tinues, excellent, without any diminution of num¬bers, nor have we felt the slightes trace of thescurvy.

"It is my intention, if possible, to return to Eng¬land this season, touching at Melville Island andPoitLeopold, but, should wenot be again heardof, in all probability we shall have been carriedinto the Polar pack, or the westward of Melville'Island in either of which casts any atten.pt tosend succor wbuld only be to increase the evil,as any ship that enters the Polar Pack must be in-

evitnbly crushed; therefore, a depot of provisions, Ior a ship at Winter Harbcr.: is the best and onlycertainly for the surviving crews."No trace whatever has been met with, or any

information obtained from the natives, whibhcould by any possibility lead to the supositioh thai.Sir J. Franklin's expedition, orhis crews, have'ever reached Ihe shore we have visited orsearched,Mnor have we been more fortunate with respect tothe Enterprise, not having seen her since partingjiuicompany at the Straits ot Megellan on the 20th oflccApril, 1860." .

The Five Daughters..A gentleman had fiveiJaughters, all of whom he brought up to some use¬ful and respectable occupation in life. Thesedaughters married, one after the other, with theconsent of their father. The first married a' gen¬tleman by the name of Poor; the second, a Mr.Little; the third, n Mr. Short; the fourth, a Mr.Ilrown; and the fifth, a Mr. Hogg. At the wed¬ding of the latter, her sisters, with their husbands,were present. After the ceremonies of the weddingwere over, the old^gentleman said to his guests:.'.I have taken great pains to educate m/ fivedaughters, that they might act well their parts inlife; and from their advantages and improvements,I fondly hopedj that they would do honor to myfamily; and now I find that all my pains and ex¬
