.,AI FINING EDITORS. Much excitement in said to have prevail *ti in Lafayette on Monday last in consequence of the arrest and fininjf of \V. sElHs.of the Courier, anil Stafford an Robinson, of the Gazette, for publishing the testimony of the witnesses in the case of the iState agsitist Charles Miller for the murder "of Jackson, last June. Judga I'ettit held that their acts, in not regarding hisor«ler ,iiot to publish the testimony, was a contempt of the authority of the Court, and he imposed a fine of one hundred dollar* on each of the parties, and threatened thein with

Imprisonment should they continue to publish the testimony.

nwhen

It appears the Judge had made an order forbidding the publication of testimony in the case. This we presume he had a right to do inn murder case, pending the trial,

it was demanded by the parties. But It ia alleged that Judjjo I'ettit exceeded his authority in some portion of the order—and that the Editors are determined to continue publication, and bring their case up to a higher court. ".M

Our readers will recollect the great excitement in New York some weeks ago,occasioned by the murder of Win. Poole, and tho tremendous parade of a funeral with a procession of its tens of thousands.

Then came tho excitement to secure She murderers. Several persons were taken up, but the principal, Baker, was still at large. He was believed to have taken passage in the Isabella Jewett fur the islniid of Grand Canary. The clipper-ship Grapeshot was dispatched with officers. She reached the city of Pulmas several days in advance of the Jewctt. The Jevvctt at length hove i^i eight, and Louis Bukcrswa? tiiken from on board, before landing. The Grapeshot has returned to New York, and the prisoner is confined ill the Tombs awaiting his trial.— Great preparations are being made for the trial. Baker's friends believing they can proye the wholo was a matter of self-de-fence on the part of Baker. While the friends of Poole are bent upon an easy conviction of murder iu the first degree.. •=,

EXPEXSE or THE WAR —The effects of the war upon tho financial condition of England, are beginning to appear. Her military expenditure for the current year, will exceed £43,000,000, while the whole expenses of Government will exceed jjj33,000,000. In this'respect, France has greatly the advantag^. The military expenditure of that Government will not exceed £2Q,000,000, and the gross outlay under every department, will be about £64,000,000 and while in England it has been necessary to ruise On loan, the sum of £16,000,000 sterling at per cent, in order to meet the deficiencies of the Exchequer. In France the necessity for a loan or Tor any other extraordinary means of supply.does not yet appear.

The National Intelligencer publishes a long letter from Mr. Perry, addressed to the President of the United States, vindicating himself from charges brought against him by Mr. Soule.

He speaks severely of Mr. Soule, and charges him with being in complicity with the French Revolutionists, and says his position at Madrid led him to desire a war with Spain, and that by transmitting erroneous information to Washington, holed to the Oslend conference and compromised the United States Government,..before Europe.

Perry further says, if he has by resisting Soule foiled his cunning and undone his work, he has done so honorably and fairly, abusing no confidence, and failing in no duty, ... -.'i'r-V

LATEST PORBI»5R NEWS, 3 Despatch?? from the Crimea wpre reaching the British government in a few houm^bjr telegraph, hut their purport was pot generally communicated 1*1 the public?- although nightly question* wore asked in Parliament for information^ riie Miniaters declared that they ajiotild exercise due discretion in the publication of the news. Lnrd Jnhn Russell had reappeared in his seat in Parliament and slated the substance t»f the negotiations at Vienna, intimating that protocols would be submitted to Parliament.— fh» new loan bill of £16.000 000 sterling passed on the 1 st in the House of Commons, and the *ame"fnj»ht4was '6rder*d to a committee in the House of Lords. Throughout the country a strong feeling against the ministry has been manifested by indignation meeting*, regarding the conduct of the war, held at various places'.f A meeting of the Inhabitants ol London was to he held, at which an Administrative Reform Association was proposed to be organized.— Similar meetings were promoted by the principal men of all political parties and would be held at Liverpool and other towns. Tho Emperor of the French had a narrow escape from assassination on the evening of the 23.h ult., while on his way to »in the Empress in her usual ride on the Chi»m Elysees^ .^The Emperor was accompanied by two officers oi his household, and when near Barriene de TEuiile, he w«s up proached by well dressed mm, with the action intimating a desire to present a petition. He advanced within five or six paces of the Emperor, who did not observe htm, when he was discovered by a policeman. As the policeman was proceeding towards the man a cab was driven rapidly between them, and, in the interval, the individu al drew a bouble barrelled pistol, ond aiming it point blank at the Emperor, discharged both barrels without eflfa'M. immediately he was seized by the police, but not until he had drawn another pistol and made a second attempt to shoot. It is soid that one of the balls grazed tho Emperor's hat. The would bo assassin is an Italian named Pmnozi. He was a volunteer in Garibaldi's army: and he was in London while the Emperor was making his visit. Daily telegraphic communication between London and the Crimea was fully established and continued uninterrupted. The government, however, was very cautious with the news, and made public but a very small portion of that received.— The position of the allies was regarded as critical. Although they had made great progress toward the city, ihoir bombardment had much slackened on the 28ih. so as not io waste their ammunition. Lord R'tglan admits fIt at the bombardment of Sevastopol had not produced tho result looked for. The list of casuaiities to the allies was not heavy. Numerous reinforcements were constantly reaching tho allies, and the French reserve of 80,000 fnen near Constantinople, were expected to be sent on to Balaklava.r, ,Ou the.. 13th despatch from Lord Raglan was received by the government, announcing the suspension of the bombardment. The non-oflicinl advices from Sobastopol re port that the bombardment was drawing to a close from the exhaustion of men and material that it had not attained its object, and that the assault could not be attempted. On the 26th. Russian despatch was posted at Odessa, stating that the French and English guns were silent that not single Russian battery was demolished, and that 50.000 Russians had arrived in the neighborhood of Sebastopol. Wiinter 6i Smith's European Times of the 5th. says that enough has transpired to prove that Sebastopol cannot be taken by the means adopted, and nothing but a battle in the open fi^ld and thorough investment of the fortress on nil sides, will effect the desired consumation. The advantage of taking tho field would be to present supplies, and the reinforcements advancing from reaching Sebastopol, by intercepting them at Perekop.

WHAT DOES IT COST TO FENCE THE CoonTRT.—The amount of capital employed in the construction and repair of fenccs in the Uuited States would be deemed fabulous, were not the estimates founded on statistical facts, which admit of no dispute. Burknay, a well known agricultural writer, says "Strange an it may seem, the greatest investment in this country, the most costly productions of human industry, is the common frnces, which o'ivide the fields from the highways, and separate thpm from each othrr. No man dreams that when compared with the outlay for those unpretending monuments of art, our cities and (Mir towns, with all their wealth, arc left far behind- You will scarcely believe me when I say that the fences of this country cost more than twenty times the amount of specie that is in it."

Sevastopol stands where it did precisely. The Allies have captured twelve guns, a few rifle pits, and two hundred prisoners but they have made no impression upon the walls and defences of the city. That the Allies cannot take the place without another army and siege train is manifest. The probability is that we shall soon hear of the fciege having been raised.

The death of the Hon. John C. Spencer, at Albany, on Thursday last, leaves a gap in the political circle that will not easily be filled. Mr. Spencer was conservative Whig, and one of the ablest old fogies in the ranks of tho party. He was cold and impassible bv nature and by education and habii, a political intriguant. As a lawyer, he stood very high, but owed his celebrity at the bar, to his industry and energy, rather than his genius. Mr. Spencer compromised iiimself with his party by taking office under President Tyler. In 1841. he became Secretary of War. and io 1843. Secretary of the Treasury.— The latter office he resigned in 1844.— Since that time he has been engaged in the practice of his profession at Albany. When he held office under Tyler, Mr. Spencer was considered a poor man but we believe that within the last seven years he has amassed a considerable amount of property. Mr. S. has for sev eral years labored under an affection of the lungs, which became, at last, con firmed pneumonia. He was 68 years of age at the time of his death. •,».-#

The appointment of Marshals to take the State Census, astonishes the natives as lar as this city is concerned. These Marshals, one for each election District, and amounting to about 4 000 in the whole State, are appointed by Mr. B'ias W. Leavenworth, a shrewd politic tician of Syracuse, supposed to be very much devoted to the inietests of Mr. SeA-atd. Arid greatly to ih'e astonishment of partisan leaders, instead of appointing this army of electioneered from the ostensible fiends of Mr. Seward, he has chosen a portion of them from the respective ranks of Wooiy-Heads, Sti-ver-Greys.

Spanish America is in a hubbub every* where. War, foreign and domestic, seems to be chronic disease in thia widely extended region. From Mexico to Buenos Ay res we can hardly name one Spanish country that ia at peace, and likely to remain so.— Uruguay I* occupied by Brazilian troops to suppress threatened insurrectionary disturbances. Between Buenos Ay res and the'Argentine Republic (for these are noiv sepa rite and distinct nations,) there is a^ aort of hostile concordance. The confederation is always threatening Buenos Ay res, but una ble to execute its threats. Paraguay is at war with Brazil. New Grenada menaces Venzueia with a view to seize the province of Maracaibo. Chili has got its bile stired up against the United States and Ecuador in consequent of the treaty guaranteeing to us the protectorate of the Gallipago? islands She has senf a minister to Ecuador to expostulate, endJier people are quite excited on the subject. Peru, with a standing difficulty with Bolivia, is said to be now encour aging Gen Flores to- enter Ecuador and overthrow the administration of that country in consequence of this guano treaty. In Central America there is a perpetual war.— At the laat dates the revolution in Nicaragua had received a fresh accession of strength, and host)litiea had been commenced between Honduras and Gautemala. The President of the former Cabanas, has issued a proclimation, in which he charges Gautemala with a desire to absorb the whole of Centra) America. It would be no great calamity if the Gautemalean despot Carrera were to do so, though he is an illiterate Indian, and only holds the reins of power by force. Probably if these republics were subjected to the iron rule of a despot for a decade or two, they might learn some political wisdom.— Mexico is now acquiring such a lesson, although the abortive insurrection at the south interferes with it in some degree. Bolivia was quiet at last dates—that is, there was no actual war, but a great excitcment existed ia consequence of the expected arrival of the rebel Santa Cruz.

Affairs between Peru and Ecuador look even more warlike than we have mentioned above. The Peruvian government having refused to expel Gen. Flores, the Ecuadorian minister at Lima had demanded his passports. Peru, in her turn, ia threatened. Her exiled citizens have collected at Valparaiso and formed a political society, liaving for its object the re-establishment of ExPresident Echinique in the power of which he has been deprived. Echinique himself has published a protest against this treatment, nnd reports are in circulation in the United StntPs to the effect that a force of Americans is to be organized to aid in this object. Such is Spanish America, comprising the most beautiful portion of our continent, blest with all tho riches which a bountiful Nature can shower upon a soil, but given over to hopeless and perpetual strife, dissension's and tumult.

Freemasons in Turkey*

Although Freemasonry has for more than thirty years been generally supposed to exist among theMahoimedans, and traces of it were found in 18.29, yet they were slight to prove the fact and it i3 only within the last few years that it was sufficiently demonstrated by a German freemason chancing to puss through Belgrade, where he discovered a masonic lodge, to which he was invited and where he roceived a hospitable reception.— It appears now to be proved beyond all doubt that the Turkish brothers who exercise their masonic duties under the name ofdervishers are to nil intents and purposes the same as our order of freemasons, with but very little diference in their customs and ceremonies, nnd making use of exactly the same signs, word?, and grips, to recognise each other.— The Turkish freemasons appear to be in a more elevated state of civilization than is usual amongst the Orientuls generally and their views of religion are far higher than those imposed by Islamismr "They reject polygamy, contenting themselves with one single wife and at the masonic banquets the women appear unveiled—a striking proof of the mutual confidence the masonic brothers place in each other.

The Belgrade lodge called Alikotsch, is composed of about seventy members. The Master of the lodge whose name is Djani Ismael Zholak Mohammed Saedp. is at the tim*}Grond Master ofthelodgps in Europe an Turkey, and is directly connected with all those of the whole of the Ottoman Empire, Arabia and Persia, in which latter the freemasons amount to more than 50,000 members. In Constantinople there are no less than nine lodges, the most numerous and important of which is that of dancing dervishes, called Serkedshi Teckar. The Turkish freemasons wear as a symbol of the brotherhod, besides a .small brown shawl flat, poii^bed, I'.yclv* cornered piece of white marbiefwitii redisii u."°wn spots, about two inches in diameter, Buwj^ndeu *.

If it is true, as stated, that nrigham Young the sainted Governor of Utah, dories the Government by holding on to his office, there may yet be an exciting movement in Salt Like City. It appears that Brighiim denies all allegiance to any laws other than those of the Alormon church, and declares his 3eitign to hold on to his office despite the President. H» despises the United States.-* Well, as Utah is not one of the States, his opinion will not be likely to go farther than that uf any other outsider who is not pleased with our laws andinstitutions. Rut there is a matter of authority to be decided between Mr. Pierce and Brijjham. One or the other must succumb, and we are not a little curious to know which it will be. If the former concludes to pursue the policy of masterly inactivity, as would be inferred from the stale of affairs suffered to exist in Missouri and Kansas, Brighnni will revel in the spiritual wife system till the iiiaugaration of a new administration, when, no doubt, the President will not only assert but maintain the prerogatives of his office. As the Mormons have been allowed- the institution of polygamy under their territorial govcrment, tiiey doubtless think they can go a step farther, thsow off entirely the authority of the General Government,and set up some kind of semi-barbarian government for themselves. It ia very far from likely that Utah if it so desire, can ever gain admission into the Uniun with a constitution recognizing polygamy, even if ft were now to Jwve the way by commendable conduct toward the 'powers that be-' But, really, it would aeem that the Mormons either intend to set up for themselves, or are foolish enough to believe they can bring into subjection the federal authorities of the country.—Madison Banner. .. mi. i'

New York Market.

Mow it is "Ignored."

The Central organ of the Know Nothings at Washington, has repeatedly declared that it was the purpose of the Order to 'ignore' the subject of Slavery—to allow Abolitionists to be Abolitionists, and pro-Slavery men to be pro-Slavery men—the only test to be 'Americanism.' This was said, however, before the South demanded, as usvial, the entire subserviency of the Order. Now, it is men with Free Soil proclivitica who are to be 'ignored.' Hear the Washington Organ: 'Upon tho 'third degree' the New York Americans occupy a conservative position, which, we hope, will be understood in Virginia. It is believed, too, that the National Council will reject Gen. Wilson, elected a delegate thereto f'om Massachusetts and the whole abolition batch with which he is associated.— Let Virginia now lead the way in her election of tlie 24th instant, and a sound, national, substantial, and homogeneous American organization will follow at Philadelphia.— New York is ready. Let Pennsylvania prepare to second the action of the New Yorkers and Virginians in a national movement which will sweep the field.'

We desire members of the Order who are not yet prepared to be made tbe tools of Slavery, to reflect upon the import of this language.

The Mobile Daily AJoer/i'seris exacticovet the pro-Slavery resolutions adopted by the Order iu Georgia, and calls upon the Northern Councils to rebuke the 'fanatical course of the Order in Massachusetts and eUewhere in New England adding— 'This is the only course for a national parly, and if the leading Northern States agree to cut oif such fungi, nothing can prevent the success of the party in 1856.'

This is the way the South is snapping its whip over the refractory members of the Order. It is to be seen whether there will be much of the body of the Order left at the North, when the 'fungi' is removed. There will not be, if, in becoming 'Americans,1* par excelled the members of the Order have not, at the sam6 !mfj become Slaves.

We are sorry to see that the Washingtort Organ undertakea to justify all the late doings of the citizens of Missouri in Kansas. That paper aays "Will Gen. Pierce employ tho United States troops to thwart the will of the poople of Kansas I We hope not. It i* our judgment, that if he even attempts to force Gov. Reeder upon tbem, contrary to their will, and after they have repudiated him, they will resist. They will not be forced. They may or they may not throw him into the Missouri river but v/e do not believe they will allow this Administration to impose him upon them. All this msy be wrong on the part of ihe Missonrians. We arc simply dealing with facts and probal/ilities and not uiscu^sing what is right cr what is wrong, as between Jhe Missourians and Gov. Reeder. We desire to prevent civil war and fraternal bloodshed. Hence we say, that since the Missourians have literally expelleu a Governor who waa not only involved, &c." si

So it is not the citizens of Kansas but "the Missourians" that are spoken of as having literally "expelled Governor Rerdtr from Kansas," and as likely to take his life if he returns. The Organ speaks of the whole matter as an affair not between the citizens of Kansas and Gov. Reeder but "between the Missourians and Gov. Reeder." The Organ thinks that the Missourians will not permit Gov. Reeder to be Governor of? Kansas—that they may probably kill him if he again attempts to discharge the functions of the office the Organ has not a word of rebuke for the assumption, by Missourianfr, of the authority to determine, by tbe atrong arm, who shall and who shall not hold office in Kansas. Audacity unparalleled Seems approved rather than rebuked. —Lou. Journal.
