The Troy Budget, an able democratic paper j. long standing, speaks of Judge Bronson's letter as follows Ex Oliit'f Justice Broinon, who lately retired from ihe lljocb, because it didn't enough, has been retained by Governor Hunt ou the Canal Bill.

His legal opinion is given in llie last Albany newspapers. We give a lew detached sentences from tlie opinion." 'file Journal of.Cjnmtrce published yesterday, its leading article, a critical notice of this frt 111 ibo pen of some legal correspondent. We copy below some of the observations of this able critic, and bespeak fur then) the attention of the reader. The rules of law lo which Judge Bronsou appeals for sustaining his opinion, as between individuals, are many of them unquestionably correct and if the technical rules which he weaves together in his argument, ought to be applied to those who frame a Constitution, bo that if there be a loop hole, the Legislature may avail them selves of it, and thus defeat the spirit and intent of the instrument, to be gathered from all its parts, Ihen Judge Bronson'a opiniou may be su9 lained. But we conceive his error to be perfectly manifest.

The spirit of law is that which governs. Thehighesl Courts have decided that cases coming clearly within the letter of the law, are not embraced within it if they are not according to its spirit. The Constitution of this state, as all admit, was intended to preveut the creation ol a debt of a limited character except for specified ob jecte. In the face of this intention of tho framcrsof the Constitution, Judge Bronson contends it leads inevitably to this that the State may borrow money, pledge its revenues for payment, the whole of them aud for ever, and yet not violate the spirit of the Constitution. And why? Because there is no State liabililyl WImi is this much talked of State liability! It is a well ItnowD rule, that a State cannot be sued, and cannot be held liable lo pay irj any Court for any matter.

If lie ow a debt, there is no liability such as may be enforced. She is bound, in case she does, to apply her revenues to pay it. And bow tioundi Not in a way that Courts may enforce, but bound from the strength of the highest public considerations. This is her obligation, and her only obligation, when a debt clearly exists. What is the obligation which the Canal bill attempts (but fails because it is unconstitutional) to put upon the State? The answer is clear.

To do precisely what, and what only, the Stale would be bound to do, if a debt existed. That is to say upply certain pledged revenues to the payment of tho certificates. If the State can thus borrow money and apply certain of its revenues to its payment, may it not borrow more, and pledge the whole of its revenues and forever, for an additional, and it may be an enormous amount. It is a mockery to say that any such thing was intended; or that the franiers of the Constitution did not intend expressly to guard against it. The provision against creating a debt, means uo more than this, that the revenues of tbe State shall not be pledged far money borrowed." Mr.

Maurice of Queens. The Jamaica Democrat pays the following well merited compliment lo the able member from Queens in the late rascally house. It is pleasant to know that there was here and there an incorruptable Democrat in that body, and that a few more might have saved the State from, its deep degredatiou. We feel a great deal of pride that our wurtiiy representative in the assembly has given so great satisfaction to his constituents for the able and faith ml manner with which he has discharged the duties of his office. Upon all questions and ou all occasions he has shown himself worthy of the highest confidence of the Democrats of Queens.

His entire course has been able, man ly and dignified. Upon the Canal bill he has been found faithful lo his constituents and the constitution. No member of the Assembly has been mote assiduous in his endeavors lo defeat the bill, none more firm in bis opoeilion to it, than Jlr. Maurice. Flogging in the Navy.

According to all appearances a strong effort will be made by the old fogies of the navy to impress upon the Secretary of the Navy the imperative necessity of restoring the use of the cat and the colt, as a means of pun ishment on board our vessels of war. The Secretary has required all the commanders in the uavy to report to him the discipline on board their ves selssince the abolition of this barbarous method of correction, togelher with buch opinions as they might think proper to give on the subject. From what wo have lately heard, it is probable that quite a number of them will report in favor of repealing the law of last session, and of restoring the lash. The Golden Gate.

During the excursion of the Gulden Gate, speeches were made, and toasts given in profusion. Catharine Haves. This lady, who is soon lo visit this country, promises to make good the void in the musical world that will be caused by the departure of Jenny Lind. In Ireland where she first slartej in her brilliant career, in Italy and England, wlie ever she has sung, she has won the highest applause from the most eminent critics and discriminating audiences. She is said to have a voice of great compass and power, and of the purest quality.

We are not suprised at the indignation Mr. Chat field's communication has produced in the House.

Sun Fort Green The wonderful intelligence of llie Brooklyn reporters of the New York press attracts a good deal of attention nnd some ridicule in this city. In the Sun of this morning, for instance, is an article headed "Fort Green and its environs'' which betrays about as much ignorance of Brooklyn matters as if the wri. ter was a resident of Knraschaika. The reporter seems to think that the streets on the soulh side of Washington Park were to be continued through it, and he goes on to mourn over the total disappearance of the "time. honored mound," as follows A motion was, some few months ago, made in the Common Council lo have at least a portion of it preserved aud appropriated as a site for a monument to be erected to the Revolutionary Martyrs, out it has been allowed to fall to the ground, aud it would appear that the time honored mound is destined soon to disappear before the rapid stride of progress.

And yet there could not have been a more eligible spot selected for a small paik, commanding as it does a most beautifully diversi tied prospect, and the air being constantly cool and invigorating. If we could only reach the readers of the New York Sun, we would assure them that, not merely a "small" but a large park of between 20 and 30 acres had been purchased, laid out and was being graded on this "eligibl nnd that the "beauti fully diversified prospect" which our reporting wiseacre so much admires, is to be preserved to posterity. Pooa Henry Clay. The Advertiser pronounces against Henry Clay for President but it Ms repdy to go all lengths in eulogizing him. It is in favor of bestowing the office on Webster or Scott, and turning poor Henry off with soft soap.

Listen to its hypocritical cant Henry Clay, God bless him is one of those shining marks that every petty politician that does not concede to his views vents his poisonous arrows at. Hence his defeats. The Presidency would do him no honor his reputation a9 an American patriot and a statesman is known in every partof the globe where the white man's foot has trod and aB far as a century hence the name of Henry Clay will be. seen placed on tablets, side by side wilh that of Washington. We think, however, that.the great statesman and patriot would scarcely be able to undergo the fatigues of a campaign, and the annoyance which follows an election to the Presidential chair.

We are informed that as thcHarlaeni passengers were entering the cars of the 8 3 4 train yesterday morning, from tbe Railroad office in 4th avenue, near 125tli street, two of them, a father aud his child, were struck down and instantly killed by the New Haven train going up, which IcaveB the city at 8 o'clock, 'o terrible an event filled every oue with horror, and efforts were instantly made to stop the New Haven cars, but in vaiu. They went on as if nothing had happened. Both parent and child were struck with tremendous force, and thrown a considerable distance.

The child was taken up dead, and the father was quivering in the agonies of deathjwhen found. A woman was barely saved by being instantly pulled off the track by her husband. Eve. Post. The man thus struck was David MeCollough, a native of Ireland, about 35 years of age.

He had in his arms a little son of about 4. The cowcatcher of the passing engine caught him by the foot, throwing him aud tbe child upivard and forward with great violence. This was done three times in succession and the two were then thrown on opposite sides of the track. The wheels passed over both legs of the man.cutting them off below the knees, besides which, he received internal injury. The child was dangerously wounded in the breast Both were taken to the City Hospital where the father died.

It is said lhat tbe child may recover. Esoape of one of the Irish Patriots. Ter rence Bellow McManus, oue of the Irish Exiles, arrived in San Francisco on the 5th of June, hav ing made his escape from Launceslo.i, Australia, and been carried away on board a British bark. His arrival in Sau Francisco was celebrated by a public dinner, at which the Mayor presided, and which was attended by the Senators, Representa tives, and many of llie most distinguished men of the State. McManus looks in capital health nnd spirits.

About the time of his escape, a like at tempt was made by Smith O'Brien, O'Donoghue, and O'Doherly. The sum of 600 had been put in the hands of an Englishman named Ellis, to purchase a brig, vhich was done, and after load ing and clearing at the Custom House, a con certed sitiiial was to be giyen by the exiles, on the beach, when a boat was to be sent on shore from the brig. Some villain, howevcr.had informed the authorities of the government of tho project du ring the day, and as soon as the signal was given for the boat, the exiles were secured by the (ffi cors and carried back. The bark immediately ailed for California and arrived safely and McManus entered the Golden Gate, a free man. A eutlicient sum has been subscribed lo thestock ii the Northwestern Virginia Railroad to secure Froia California Two Weeks ILatcr.

Two of I he miscreants who were concerned in the murders on the Chagrcs River, were shot in the Cathedra! Plaza, on the 30th nil. Their names were Francisco Medrano and Jf Maria Radillo. Previous to the sailing of the California from Sun Francisco, on the 14th ult, buildings had been erected on llie greater portion of tho burnt district," and business was slowly but steadily reviving.

The market generally had been but liule influenced by the late disasterous conflagration. The great quantities of goods on board store ships in the harbor were thrown into market wilh such rapidity that glut in the staple articles of produce, and a slight decline in prices was the result. Quite an excitement occurred on the 3d inst. the nccaMon of tbe arrest of a man by ihe name of Brnj. Lewis, accused of firing a Iniding on Long wharf.

The indictment was quashed, the grand jury having been illegally empanneled, and the prisoner wasrernauded to await the action of the next grand jury. The Indians have been troublesome in the southern section of the State. A company "1 white men, undri a Capt. Irving, are reported lo have committed many outrages upon the inhabitants o( Los Angelos Valley. The citizens vol unteered and went in pursuit.

The li sl accounts received is, that the Indians of a certain mission had desiroyed Capt. iryiug and 1 1 men. The Council have passed, and Mayor has sign, ed, an ordinance granting to Azro 1).

Ciime had increased to such a fearful extent in lhat city, and so totally had the courts and police failed in meeting out adequate punishment to the offenders, that a volunteer committee of our most respectable citizens had been formed for pro tection. A robber having been caught in the act of stealing, was summarily tried by them, found guilty, condemned to death, and was hung the san night. The new Jenuj Lind Theatre, built by Maguire since the late conflagration, has been opened by a nart of Mr. Stark's company.

The cinders, ashes and desolation of the last great fire have nearly all disappeared before the new buildings and improvements, which have followed upon the path of the fire storm like the grass and heibage, which springs up aqain when the tempest has passed away. POPULAR EXECUTION. Owing to the vast amount of crime which has been perpetrated for a length of time, aud the impossibility by due process of law of procuring tbe conviction of the guilty, bestowing adequate punishment when convicted or even keeping them in safe custody a number ofcitizens reBolved to take lhe law into their own hands. They accordingly organized themselves into a detective and protective force with a fixed determination to punish those whom they 9hould find gui ty of the commission of any felonious act. About 9 o'clock on Tuesday night aman carrying a bag containing something apparently very hosivy, uttraotod tho attoatioit of tho Whitehall boatmen, at their station, on Central Wharf.

He jumped into a boat wilh his bag and pulled out toward the end of the wharf. But a few moments had elapsed before Mr. Virgin, a gentleman who keeps a shipping office on the down to the boat stand in pursuit of a person who had just robbed his office of a small iron safe, containir.o considerable sum of money. The man with the bag was at once suspected and a number of the boatmen started immediately in pursuitof the rob ber. Alter a severe pull they overhauled him.wlienhe threw his booty overboard.

After a very severe struggle one party of boatmen succeeded it capturing him, while the other fished up the bag which proved to contain the stolen safe. He was conveyed on shore, and at once taken possession of by some of the vigilant eomm ltee, who conducted him promptly to their head quarters, where he was tried in the presence of about eighty members of the conclave, sittiug with closed doors, by them convicted andseutenced to be hung in the Portsmouth Square that very night. The precise mode of trial was of course a secret. During the lime of its progress the citizens had accumulated in large numbers about the building and in Portsmouth Square. The bell of the engine house at the latter locality haviug rung a signal lo apprise the citizens of the proceedings goiDg ou.

About 1 o'clock, Mr. Samuel Brenuaii came' out, and ascending the bank opposite, announced the result of the committee's deliberations, stating that he had been fairly tried, convicted upon the strongest testimony and offered no defence except a denial of the robbery. He gave the name of John Jenkins and professed to be a native of London. Mr. li.

stated that he had been allowed another hour to prepare himself for death, and that the Rev. Mr. Mines had been sent for to visit him. The crowd present promptly approved of the action of the committee. From that time the ex citemert began to iucrease and the matter was freely discussed by knots of citizen at the various street corners, around the committee room and in the square.

A very large majority were evidently in favor of the execution. The prisoner was perfectly composed during this time and indulged in a cigar. The clergyman promptly responded to the request tggpray with the prisoner, and remained with himfor nearly an hour. If we are correctly informed, his presence had no particu'ar effect on the condemned man, who doubtless confidentially anticipated a rescue by the police. About 2 o'clock the doors of the committee room were opened, and the condemned was for the first time presented to the populace.

He was a tall man of very great muscular developments and with rather a forbidding countenance. He was smoking a cigar and appeared rather pale 1 IT uui composed, ins arms were pinioned ami his hands tied behind him, while he was surrounded by a rope thickly manned by armed men, many others closing on them determined to prevent his escape. In tins manner, lolionred by a crowd he was conducted to the public square. His arrival was annouueed with a shout and every description of vociferation the wildest scene of confusion and excitement preva iling The moon obscured by clouds shed no light, and tho picture presented was wild and awful in the extreme. Some person climbed the liberty pole to rig a block for tho execution, but a loud shout of 'don't hang him on the liberty pole' arose.

Voit ces screamed out 'to the old adobe' and a rush was made for that edifice, upon the corner of the square. A rush was at once made for the end of the building, a block rigged, and a long rope run through it. In the mean time a number of the police who were on the ground, made several at templs to obtain possession of the prisoner, but were roughly handled and prevented from doing so. The prisoner by this time, was nearly dead with fear und rough handling, a noose wub thrown over his head, lhe rope manned by twenty ready hands, and the heavy form of the convicted felon swept through Iho air, and dangled from the block A few fearful struggles, a quiyer of the hempen chord, a few nervous twitches, and the crowd gazed upon the lifelcBs corpse of him upon whom such speedy aud terrible vengeance had been executed by an outraged people. As heswang to and fro, and turned round and round, a' feeling of awe appeared to strike through the crowd, who could not be otherwise than impressed by the terrible occurrence.

Slowly they dispersed, but when day broke there were still many gazing upou jtho swollen purple features of the doomed man. At o'clock the Marshal, Mr. Crozier, repaired lo the spot, cut down the body, and consigned it lo lhe Dead Head. TJi us ended the first execution which ever took place in San Francisco, where more crime has been committed within the past year than in any other city of the same population in tbe Union, without a single instance of adequate punishment.

i.ll;poried for the Brooklyn Dally. Eafle. Police: Court Before Justice John B. King. July 18th.

Charles Givens for assaulting Jeremiah Lanl, was fined 10 yesterday, by Jus. Kinr. Edward Molley, for addressing insulting language to females, was fined 5. Mic'l. Kearnan, Maurice Kane, and MicT Dolan, weie brought in by the first district police this morning, having been arrested for intoxication.

They were sent to jail for five days each. David McGuirn arid Wm. Chester, were also sunt to j' for middling too much with spiritual affairs. John Donaghey, for being drunk and vising profane language, and insultiiiji the officer, was fined 83. The penally of getting drunk is S5 fine.

Probably Ihe profane language made use of by Donaghey, was taken as a mitigation of his offence. Francis Reveir was sent to jail for 3 months, on a charge of vagrancy, having been picked up by the 4th district police. The Drunkard This individual seems to be subjected to the hardeBt treatment of any member iu our community. The liquor traffic is encouraged by the authorities. The liquor licences have brought more money into the city treasury during the present season than what was derived from any other source other thun direct taxation, and the amount of fines levied daily in tbe police courts for drunkenness is enormous.

The rum establishments, therefore, are tube found in every street and at every corner of a street, under the sanction of the law; and yet if a poor inebriate goes into one of these samo places, these legalized liquor shops and becomes tipsy, he is immediately seized by a policeman and crammed into the cells to repose upon cold flags; and numbers of them being placed in those same cells never again see the light. If they do survive, they are taken be fore a magistrate and sect to jaillor a week or more in expiation of their offences. Drunkenness is a revolting degredation, but it seems hardly fair for the law to set a trap for an unfortunate man, aud then punish him for it. It looks very much like "knocking a man down and then kicking him for falling." The man who makes money out of the liquor business and turns the debasement of a portion of his fellow creatures into merchandize is a respectable man in lhe eyes of the law, and encouraged to go on in making more victims, while those whom he ruins are treated more like dogs than human beings. As long as the law acknowledges the manufacture of drunkards aa a legitimate business, the article when ready for the market should be treated wilh a little more consideration thru it is at present.

Mechanic's Mutual Benefit Association of SrRiNGFiELD, Mass.

Thackeray's Lectures As Thackeray is soon to be in this country for the purpose of delivering his Lectures, we cut the following from a letter in the Evening Post.

Tub Illusteated American IEVfs. This pa per is improyiug, has boen considerably enlarged and gives more as wella3 better engravings. The writing for it is not of lhe highest or most entertaining character. Senator King of Alabama.

This distinguished statesman has written a letter which we find in lhe Alabama papers, on the subject of Southern rights, wrongs and remedies, and lhe merits and defects of the compromise bills. It an interesting paper, marked with the frankness, clearness, moderation and dignitv which have given to its author so high a place in the confidence and esteem of I. is State and the whole country Col. King recapitulates the. several measures which make the compromise, and states hi i own vein's of their character separately.

He opposed the California bill as an act of partial and unjust legislation, but caunot agreo that it is unconstitutional, or lhat it contains any thing to which the people of the South may not, and, under the circumstances, should not acquiesce in with honor The bill abolishing the slave trade in the District of Columbia is in lis principle and object such as Mr. King would willingly have supported, but for the clause imposing emancipation as ihc penalty of disobedience to the law, and he stands ready vole for a repeal of lhat clause. The Texas boundary biU Mr. King defends as one which was just, and which promotes the true interests of Texas and the South. He argues at hngth against tho charge that by this bill 'slave territory has been surrendered to free and i ities to sustain himself the formeropinions ol Ihe parties who am now lhe warmest oceusors.

He maintains that Southern rights are also preser ved in the New Mexie.o and Utah bills. Governments have been established in strict accordance with all the territorial acts previously passed, (Oregon only excepted.) and on grounds for which the South cotended. There is no restriction as to slavery. Mr. Kine says "the ablest statesmen and the most distinguished jurists of the South entertain no doubt lhat the owners of slays may, wilh per feet security take them to cither of these territories, regardless of Mexican law," and he asserts that it was on the perfect conviction of this that Southern Senators and Representatives voled for the Clayton compromise bill of lhe former Congress.

Ho himself had voted for proposition to repeal the Mexi can law in order to quiet the public mind, not that he believed it at all necessary. On the much controverted question of the right of secession, Mr. King does not trouble himself with any metaphysics. He holds that there is no such right provided in the constitution, or reserved by it. It is merely the best shape of revolution for cause.

His words ate I have ever been a States Rights man of Ihe Jefferson school, and can fearlessly appeal to my whole public'life in proof of the Assertion. I am not, however, prepared to admit that the States possess either the constitutional or the reserved rightto 6ccedo from the Uuion. I consider it lo be a paramount right, inherent in every people, to free themselves from oppression, when the action of the Government violates their es. ential rights, and becomes too grievous to be borne and that from the nature of our federative system, il would be the most effectual mode to accomplish that object. It will be seen, by this rapid summary, that Uol King finds nothing in conflict with the constitution in any of the bills which are the subject of assault by the resistance" men of the South as subversive of their rights: The injury to the South was by a perversion of the powers of the Government to unjust ends, not usurpation or infraction of the constitution.

The Texas Boundary bill is unhesitatingly approved. Tho territorial bills are constitutional and just to the South; and the much abused District bill is wise Hnd proper, except in the penalty for violation of the law. Wilh these sentiments, and his declared dissent from the doctrines of constitutional secession, Col. King must be looked upon as a decided Union man. in opposition to the resistance," men hut he him.

The Washington Continentals of Brooklyn in Ihe steemer New Jersey, and a larjrc barge, called at our wharf this morning at 10 o'clock, on their wav to Bid die's grove, on a pic nic excursion.

An invitation was, we understand, tendered to the Jersey City Continentals, some of whom accompanied them on their trip. The boats were crowdrid fore and aft, were covered with banners and flags, and had on board a splendid band, which discoursed most eloquent music. As they ere leaving the wharf they were saluted by the guns of the steamer Africa, Capt, Ryrie, in a handsome manner. These little attentions are highly gratifying, aud go to show the goodfeeling existing between the Yankees and their trans Atlantic brethren. It proves that the English and Americans are brothers in more than mere name, and their interest are almost identical so far as commerce and the interchange of manufactures and staples of the two countries are concerned and that the ill feeling produced by the differences and quarrels which have taken place in times past, has given way to good feeling nnd cordial friendship.

May it ever increase. The Brooklyn company is one of the crack companies, and is commanded by Capt. Sharp. May they and their friends have a pleasant day, and enjov themselves to their hearts content. Jersey City Sentinal.

'No Debt Oh no? No Debt?" In the Senate yesterday, when the bill to abolish tolls on Railroads was under consideration, Mr. Lvon proposed an amendment, to have the act not take effect until 1854. His object was lo prevent the revenues by the Canalrom suffering any decrease. In advocating his amendment, he said "The State has just created a grat debt a debt which no one knows how much the amount will be a debt set down at 9.000,000. Mr.

Cook inquired if ho meant to say there was a debt created, Mr. Lyon (hastily and somewhat embarrassed) Oh no no debt a debt simply in anticipation of the Canal revenues. A Senator You said "a Mr. used the teirn used outside the Capitol. (Laughter.) Mr.

L. then went on to show lhat in view of tho great necessity for large revenues, freight should not be transported on Rail roads free of lolls, before the time provided in his amendments. Atlas. Mas. Joshua Sands.

It will be observed in to days paper that Mrs. Sands, wife of the late Joshua SandB, has departed this life. From our earliest recollection, wo cru remember the true heart and christianly kindness of tho deceased. In sickness, from the aged to tho infant, she was early at tho couch, administering every thing (hat she conceived would be benefiicial and pleasant to them. At this period Brooklyn would not compare in population with some of the villages on tho Island.

Mrs. Sands was known lo all the inhabitants. Rich and poor, no matler what position or rank in society, Mrs. Sands, uncalled for and unkuown, would volunteer at the sick bed, and watch by niclit and by day. She is well kuown to our early inhabitants as one of God's ministering angels.
