A UUfnrnia paper mji laal Uw prlc of eanaJmrt la "ettrasl TtcUaam " and U.M par talk. From the London Daily JVetM. The lce-Dunt oiTthe Neva. The crisis of the Baltic enterprise seema near at hand. Under date of the 3d of May, we hear of bitter east winds and thick falling anow; of the 4th of Stockholm steamers running, with crowds of citizens, to see the fleet ; on the 5th, of ft g to thick that tne ships could not stir. In Finland, meantime, tbe season is mild, and vegetation is rapidly advancing. The month of May is always tbe season of suspense at St. reiersourL" ineume wnea it is saia tne rest less Czar, who sleeps only in snatches, goes forth, almost before any body is stirring, to observe the aspect of his watery realm, aud see which way tho wind is. The suspense is about tho wind; And even now, in this most solemn spring season of all tho fifty-seven he has known, the movements of the winds aro of more- consequence to Nicholas than even the movements of the allies. A long continuance of strong east winds would do mora for him jhnn nil the preparations he can make. A ruth of west wind would ruin him more speedily and thoroughly than nil his united enemies could without its help. The fog is the token that the crisis is at hand. The fog precedes tho breaking un of the ice in the Neva : and it will bo succeeded by those singular twilight nights, or uncounted neauty, wiucn are mo only charm of the desolate region in which St Petersburp: stands. While the fog lasts, tho sentinels on the watch towers in the city look out in vain, some towards Lake Ladoga, some up the Neva, some towards too sea. mey can near sotneunng, but see nothintr. So it is with the Cear, listen ing in bis balcony, and with tbe commandants nt Sweaborg and at Crnnstadt; and perhaps with our "Charley," walking tho deck and talking to himself. What he is listening for is the arrival of the French squadron, which will enable him to proceed to his work when the log curtain rises. What the Russians are listening for is, first, tho wind. To some it comes sighing over the peaty plains which stretch to tho margin of the gulf, whence they look like a mere drift upon the waters. Over that barren, blonk expanse, the wind comes sighing through the rushes, with an occasional howl uf tho wolf, or bursts of the din of tho walcr-fowl in the pool which are already melted. To others tlio wind comes vibrating like mournful music through tho pineforests, which, surrounding the capital with their black belt, nowhere further olf tbantwenty miles, approach much nearer in somo directions. Thero are sounds which come to the ear ou May nights, when tho wind is from any point of trio compass ; lor mere- are swamps auu pine forests everywhere, It is tho voice of tho waters, that watchers listen for with hearts that stand still. As long as the hollow moaning goes on, tlio moaning ol tne imprisoned winds below the ice, the suspense is complete Sooner or later comes the crack, which tells that the hour of crisis lias come. Tho cracks of the ice are naturally Hie most impressive, aud sound the loudest, in the night. '1 he Czar and his sentries aro already on the watch ; but now tho citiieos riso and look out in vain through tho fog, Some dress snd go to the wharves, though it is much too soon to conjecture how high the water will rise.

Our Foreign Population, Wc havo been greatly amused of late at the manner lu which the so called " Democratic press handles the question affecting our foreign population lately sprung upon tho couutry, first, by the proscription embodied in tho Ne braska bill, and, lastly, by tho concentrated action of tho " Know Nothings." For preimmlng to raise their voices against the first outrage on their political rights, they wero taken to task very roundly by the administration papers gen erally, and in this State by the Cincinnati Enquirer and Cleveland PlaindcaUr especially. And it struck us at the time that the voice of these two latter organs wero pitched on so uni form a key that It was hardly possible to doubt tho ecore was written by the same hand. The new estate In party politics Inaugurated under the name of " Know Nothings," is courted by one portion of the Slave Democracy and re- pudiated by another, according to location It would seem. The Enquirer and Plain Dealer, by tbclr attacks on tbe Gorman population especially, seem to be bidding for the " Know Noth ings '' vote. Our neighbor of the Statesman is in a quandary as usual, evidently lu doubt as to which would be the "wisest " course. In New York, the " True Democrat1' the only administration paper In tho city, continues to denounce the Irish and tbe Irish influence in the bitterest terms. Inasmuch as the Irish are almost all Roman Catholics, and as It is understood tlio " Know Nothings " are specially down on this clossof religionists, looking upon them aaa political body in disguise, we may regard the denunciations of Ihe administration papers as a pretty distinct bid for the support and favor from the new organization. We quote : it la rli-ar tn oat mind that the trurklinc iH-irUirure. of the ih-tnocratic party in '-fijrrlitn ttiflut'tirr" t ,urt' mom b lug m up In political Jadmorit againtt It. sod hp would warn lbpartj Inlhlsflalf ut tb'ci'nnoqiirnt'c.

It takes strong exceptions to the course announced by Judge Comiad, the newly elected Mayor of Philadelphia, In saying he should appoint only American iMirncitieuH to mlcc In the city gov ernment. To what cause we an to attribute thisdillVrencc of opinion between the two sections of the late Democratic party! If accidental. It is a curious one; but wc think there Is no doubt in attributing the action of the administration to a design of propitiating the forliear-ance and support ol the "Know Nothing."--The Emiing Pott is consistent In Itsdclencu of the naturalized citizen, und may therefore es cape the charge of any Minister design, Nut so with the administration orgun; It Is within the knowledge of all that no pains have been spared heretofore to propitiate the Catholic vole of the country In favor of Ihe .Slave Democracy. What bOK-pioduced the change: There is only one way of accounting for It. Of course no one Is foolihh enough to attribute Ihe change to a change of principle. Principle has nothing to do with the policy of the Move toner; it is a matter of calculation on the score of voles, and nothing more. It is thought that just at this lime in out tar fie eitiei. more Is to be gained by flattering tbe " Know Nothings ' than by the other course. A different policy will be pursued In tbe country and in small towns. We quote from tbe Evemn Post : "He prochimed hta In t ml Inn to enfnree the law. elo.

Witness knows Toliver Cokcr, the prisoner, who was then a convict in tho Penitentiary, and was employed aa n servant in tho apartments of the oflicers of the Prison, it was his habit to come to our room morning aud evening of each day, and whenever his services were required during the day. Croat Examined. Our room waa on the 3d floor of the Pcnitenoary building, in front. There were fuur rooms on that floor. One occupied by ourselves, one by Mr. Stewart and wife, one by Mr. Cool and wife, nnd ono by - and wile. C'oker waited on all these rooms. There was, also, ft dark room between tho 3d and 4th story, in w hich were stored boxes belonging to the olllcers of the prison. Other servants beside Cokcr were in the habit or being sent to this store room. Other prisoners, named Frazer, Wilder, Grant, Wilson, O'Brien, and Messcr, were also employed ansevvuntsabout the prison. There wero, also, four rooms in the 4th story; two of which were occupied by Messrs, Thomas and Wrlglit, guards, und' their Yvives, and two were unoccupied. Persons sometimes passed up through these rooinsand out upon the roof to view tho surrounding country. The second Btory was occupied by Mr. Dimmock and his family. Nofemule domestics wen; employed about the house at thut time. It is possible Hint some ono Itesiiles Cokcr might have gone to tho room unobserved, ami taken the money. I he room wuh not locked. Heard no conversation with Cokcr after the money was missed, until the following Sunday, during the hours of service In tho prison, when I went to his cell, nnd conversed willi bim outside of it. There, was no bed in his cell ut the time. My suspicions resting upon Cuker, I proposed to my husband that 1 would go to his cell und see what he would say alsmt It. Mr. Frcluu, a guard, went with me, ami designated the cell; but I think be was not nullicienlly near to hear our conversation. I wus ut his cell probably less than hall an hour.

Antwer My object In ordering him removed was to confine him in another ;ell where he would be secluded from other convicts, and where I could put a board to the door, which I had caused to be provided for the purpose. I did not measure the distance from this cell to the stove it was further than the one from which he was removed ; the floor of the cell was earth, and I caused the board to be placed up In front of tho door of tho cell. Ho was con-Uncd In this cell from 15 to 2U days, when hc was removed to tho cell nearer the stove, in which he w as confined until the expiration of his term, In March. I understood that Mr. Lennox, one of the Directors, had somo conversation with Mr. Dimmock respecting tho punishment of Cokcr, I told Cokcr if ho would give up my money 1 would let him out. -He was in the cell where I first placed him, eight or nine days, and was then removed to one less comfortable. He had uo bed in tho cell to which ho was removed. He had been In the latter cell two or three days before I -aw him, aud from one to three days before, ho was wbip)cd. He was whipped iu the evening, in my prcticucc, and by my urder; was whipped by Mr. Cool with a " cat f of four strands. His fchoitldere werVlmrcd, aud he was whipped nine blows. Blood flowed freely, but I do not know that each btraud brought blood ut eueh blow. I stood beside liim during the whipping. When Cool had given him nine blows, 1 n-ked him huw many; he said "eight or nine." I told him to stop. I said nothing to Coker about tbe money at the time of tho whipping; nor did I tell him w hat he was w hipped fur. I had before frequently told bim I would w hip him unices be gave up my money. He said lie hndn't it, aud didn't Know any thing about It. I told him if ho did not give up the money I would keep him iu there until his time expired. Nothing more was said ubont tbe money by either Cool or myself during the whipping. By Col. Swayne What had he In his coll to sleep upon alter this severe whipping 1 .1nswtrc hud nothing in his cell but a bucket. I Hu Cot. .'ii'av''---Wh.it had he toeover him-1 self with in (he cell? .Insteer.

He said lie hadn't got my money, ami knew nothing nliout j it. I whipped him wilh a three-stranded "eat.'' j Mr, Wuit wus i present at one of the whhmiugs, 1 whipped him myKlf twice.

Yesterday morning, I stood in the recess of a cell door, near the door, while Mr. Donahoo went into the adjoining cell ; hc spoke, and 1 listened. I could hear only the words ' good morning."' He continued talking perhaps a minute, but I could not distinguish another word. Cross-examined. I had a conversation with Mr. Dimmock on the subject this morning; but did not eay that 1 did not try to listen. Iter, James T. Don-ahoo affirmed. I waa Moral Instructor iu tho Ohio Penitentiary In February last, and had been so for two years from the 2d of May last. Have recently made tho experiment of the practicability of hearing in one cell of tho prison conversation in an adjoining cell ; have refloated the experiment several timeswitn-in the last ten days, with one person in tbe cell occupied by Coker, and another in the one in which Wright secreted himself. Yesterday morning Mr. Williams and myself made the experiment. I went into Coker 's cell with my face towards the door, two or three inches from it, having first seen Mr. Williams lit tbe cell which Wright entered (if he w as there at all). I spoke in about the suiue tone of voice in which 1 am now speuking as loud and distinct as I now do. I first Mtid " Good morning," uud then continued, rehearsing as nearly as I could the conversation said to have passed lietwcen Dollmuu und Cokcr, as related by Wright. The cells are about 24 feet between the doors, with a recess between the door aud Inner walls of the cell of about the length of n brick on either side. Gaiuikt FitixiAN sworn. I was guard in the hall of the O. P., 011 the SE3d, or Feb. Was In the hall when Coker wn lirst conliued there by Watson. There were several convicts employed as servants about the rooms of the officers and the house. They were selected from among those who hud but a short time to remain, and had by good conduct secured tho confidence of the officers. Coker used frequently to go outside tho prison enrly in tbe morning and in the dusk of the evening. I did not regard his being out as late as 8 o'clock in the evening as unusual or cause of suspicion. Fugau was discharged from the prison on the 7th of April, and persons were sent to watch his movements with reference to Watson's money. Tins wasdone with the knowledge aud bv the npprolmllon of Watson. John Watson and .Stiles Drake were tho rsoiis so sent. GtotiUK Allison, n guard, was culled and sworn, mid was about to relate a conversation lielween Wright nnd Coker, when objection was made on the score of Hie competency of the testimony und the relation was waived.

It was no unusual thing for convicts to have Isixes in the shop with keys, such us bureau keys. There were usually from Hint' Ut four convicts employed as servants nltout the front building. They wero usually those of the best character and selected as being most trusty. Have often seen these servants going altotit the house and up and down stairs at all hours of the day, very much as Is the habit of servants Iu private dwellings. Ai.kxanhkii Dkan sworn.

A call for a Slate Convention has been issued in Michigan, full of the right spirit. Wo extract a single paragraph : Step hy step, within a third of a century have tne enemies 01 irecuom advanced, at first cautiously, but with Increasing boldness and step by step have its friends been driven back, until by the crowning perfidy of the passage of the Nebraska bill, the constitution Is subverted, and that system which at tho organization of our government, begged lor a temporary existence, has become tie great controlling power of the nation. Slavery is rampant in tho Capitol. It makes and unmakes Presidents! and its Presi dential tools buy and sell the representatives of tne people iikc cnattcis in tne market, mere is no lower depth that tbo nation can reach, but one ; and mat is, mat tuo people, oy adopting the act of their representatives in Congress shall voluntarily consent to share this degradation. The Morrcll men of Maine, who last year spread themselves upon Ihe prohibitory liquor iu.., ui im-ii iuuiuiuiuu iu loruanu, uo mo iD lost., did not mention their favorite doctrine In express terms, but boldly mounted theanti-Nebraska, anti-non-intervention, anti-fugitive slave law hobby, and before the election will probably bring up under the Whig banner. Look for a msion auout tnesc nays. The Wisconsin decision of the unconstitution ality of the Fugitive Slave Law Is to be tested in tne United States Sunreme Court, tbe Attor ney General at Washington having taken steps to insure tne arrest anu trial 01 Booth in tbo Luitea hiates court for resisting the officers engaged In the execution of the law. Printed calls for a meeting of all persons In Vermont who are In favor of resisting bv all constitutional means the usurpfttlonsof the prop- aganmsin 01 slavery, are ocing cirouiateo in tne Green Mountain State, and receiving many signatures.

Rob- huon-Daruii Adrcntare A large concourse of people assembled yester- uu.v Hiienioun, oiivruat isisnil, to witness J. ll. Robinson's attempt to reach the canal-boat in the Rapids, mention of which wc have heretofore made. The boat, which had been constructed on purpose for this attempt, first started from the head of the Hydraulic Canal, w ith a son of Mr. Kobinson s and two others. They launched boldly out Into the stream, und glided down to the head of Goat Islund, w hen Mr. Robinson, with his son, Immediately started for the canal boat, a distance of nlwut ten rods. Those only, who are acquainted wilh the character or the Rapids at this point, cuu imagine the skill and presence of mind necessary to pilot directly across tho current. But the feat was performed iu a ls?autiful manner, and the desired point was reuchwl amid the cheers of hundreds of delighted spectators. Tho son lirst reached the craft, made fast the boat, and with his father proceeded to search the premises. The " little dog" was missing, but a gun and some clothing were found and brought away. After erecting a pole wilh a white cloth attuched, tho adventurers again entrusted themselves to the angry current, but, instead of pushing for shore, as tho crowd expected, they allowed themselves to drop down tow ards the " Threo Sisters." Now was lo be performed the gn-at exploit of tho day. As they approached the brink of a fall of some ti or H feet wheru the water commences a series of" lofty tumbling,'' Mr. Robinson, with perfect sang froid, raised himself up and took a careful survey of the leap they were alsmt to make, while the son held the boat In statu quo. Alter selecting a place to go over, Ihey suffered the bout to tuke Ihe leap. To mid to the danger in going over, the Imut struck tho point of a rock, throwing it partially over one side, and nearly placing Mr. It. hors du combat. He regained his (Hntition, however, and they quickly passed around the head of flic larger of tho "Three Sisters" und disappeared from thy view of those ashore. Some lime elapsed, when they were observed to put out from a little cove at Ihe lower end of the Island. Dropping down toward the mighty Cataract, where the water was sufficiently deep, the adventurers put for shore, upon caching which the boat with the navigators was borne by the citizens in triumph from the Island, amid Ihe enthusiastic cheers of the spectators. We have consumed so much space already that we have rm room for comment. Wc have only lo sny thut the whole performance was highly creditable to the bravery and skill of Mr. Robinson and son. We understand that some f M was contributed by the spectators, as an ollering to the daring adventurers. .Viogriri Falls tiatctle, June 14. Olds and (tree n. The Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
