They killed and capturea about 200 French soldiers. The train contained about 250 wagons. It left Monterey about the ist of April, with gappine and money for Mata- moror, guarded by 1,400 Imperialists. Gene- rals Janeugerass, Trevauee and Pavales, with about\two thousand four hundred Liberals, and Nanipas with the Liberal cavairy, eit Comargo on the 3d to intercept the train. and is now Spproscning with a small column. lsin Alvero is amply provided for any attack. The Courier says it is rumored thata train from Monterey has already been attacked and captured about twelve miles trom Matamoros, and that Mejia had been detested, and that Matamoros wonld be attacked to-day or to- night, and that Bagdad had been taken, but none of these reports are reliable. A large number of emigrants -are continually arriving in Matamoros from the States. The Tennessee Legislature met Monday. The morning session was occnpied in a violent attack made by two members upon two daily papers, the Gazetfe and Banner of Nashville. The Knoxville Whig was also assailed by Williams. a member of the House. The military court martial for the trial of H. Bruner met yesterday morning; but, on motion of the counsel for the accused, adjourned for theday, to allow him time to prepare adefence. Lieut. Colouel Lerb, of the sth United States cavalry, who made an expedition to Paris, West 'Ten- nessee, and captured the notorious guerrilla, Harper, also captured Edmund Mayo, a con- stant companion of Harper, and an accomplice in all his crimes. Harper broke from his cap- tors and effected his escape,but as he is believed to be severely wounded and shot his recapture can be made witboat difficulty. Mayo was bronght to Nashville, Monday, and will be beld in close confinement tor trial before the military commission. The cause of the late explosion in San Fran- cisco, California, is a mystery. The freight agent of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company says two boxes, each measuring about four cubic feet, were taken from the steamer’s deck to the place where the explosion occurred. One box was consigned to Idaho City and the other to Los Angelos. Both are stained with oil. The contents are unknown. A gang of forty men are now engaged in removing the ruins. Montgomery, Sacramento, and Califor- nia streets are lined with bro! glass. scarcely a window for several hundred feet remaining whole. Wells, Fargo & Co.’s horses, and every thing in the vicinity, animated or unanimated, were blown into fragments. The damage is estimated at $200,000. William Heavens, book- keeper for the Pacific Mail Steamship Com- pany, is ascertained to be among the Killed. The wite of ex-Governor Haris isin New Orleans, bound for Mexico.

The captain of a Quebec schooner, which was spoken atsea while on a voyage from Barbadoes to Harbor Grace, N.

Her pumps bad choked witb sand ballast, and she becoming water-logged bad washed to pieces. The captuin’s wife and some of the crew had left in a boat, and this man and four others tried to save themselves on this piece of the wreck, but all the others had been washed off. He was much exhausted, having been six Gays exposed. The supposed accomplice in the Philadel- phia murder has ,been arrested in Toronto, Canada West. He gives bis name as Charles McCutchen. When arrested he turned pale and nearly trinted. The only discrepancy be- tween the murderer and the appearance of the pyeee is that, instead ot having losta thumb, is fore finger is gone. Otherwise there is the closest identity. A further examination 1s about to take place A passage at arms took place yesterday in the Tennessee Legislature between Woodruff, editor of the Unien, and General J. B.

On Monday the inquest in the case of the murdered Dearing family, eight in namber. was concluded im Philadelphia. The Inquirer, in_its report of the examination, remurks: When the clothes of his murdered victims, the bounet. muff and fur cape of Miss Dolan; the jewelry of Mrs. Dearing; the watch, hat, shots and pistol of Mr. Deering; the bloody axe which was used in the work of death; and lastly, the coat, pants and vest which the prise oner wore, stained all over with the gore of the butchered family, were brought and laid on the extrpet before him, he moved uneasily in his char and averted his eyes. It was natural to suppose that at the moment all the incidents of his awtul crime Arose before his vision, and that he could see his victims struggling and blecding at his feet in the pennies of death. But Probet cid not exhibit in his face the thoughts which were undoubtedly crowding through his soul. He recovered himselfin an instant, And sat there unmoved, save by occa- signal tremors in his limbs. The most touching incident of the examina- tion was when little Willie was introduced be- tore the jury, by Coroner Taylor, who rose, and taking him kindly by the hand, said, “Gentlemen, this is the sole survivor of the family.” ‘The coroner then asked him if he had ever feen the watch which he pat into the little fel- low’s hands. Willie, wbo seems to be a bright but mod boy. after turning it over, yopiied, “Yes, sir: this is my papa’s watch.” He ap- peared to recognize itat once As an old acquain- lance, and had probably toyed with it often while sitting upon bis father’s knee. The smallaxe was then taken ap by the coroner, and the question asked ifhe knew it. “Yes, sir,” he auswered quickly, his face brightening up, “that is my are; I used to chop wood with it!” and he reached up, took it from the coroner, and scrutinized it closely, without apparently understanding that it had proved the instra- ment of death to his parents, and brothers. and baby sisters, Every one in the room, save the hardened murderer, was deeply impressed at the tonching sight. A large number of witnesses were examined, and the evidence so strongly pointed out Probst as the murderer that the jury promptly rendered the following verdict: “That Christo- pher. Julia, Jonn, Thomas, Anna and Emily Dearing, and Elizabeth Dolan and Cornelius Carey came to their deaths from the effects » blows inflicted by Autoine Probst, tthe house of Coristopher ring, Jones's lane, in the first ward, April 7th, 1866.” The prisoner was pon committed for trial}, spected of being an accomplice was arrested in Canada a few days ago.

Deceased made no statement to witness relative to the affair. Mr. Riddle, tor the defense, asked that the remaining witnesses for the prosecution be examined separately, and they retired, retura- ing to the room &s called, John Thorn sworn.— Witness knows Benj. F. Hougb. On the day of the shooting Hough, Mr. Gackins, Collins, Morgan and witness were in the bar-room. When Hough entered the otbers were joking and laughing. Hough said if he had mopey he would call the others to drink, Witness remarked that was Yaukee like, to drink by himself. He drank and went away, apparently in good humor. Hough came back angry and said some dirty s—u of a b—h pinned something to bis coat, and he could lick him. Witness replied that he kuew no- thing about it. The parties were then in the sitting room adjoining the bar-room. Hough went out of the room into the bar-room. G kins followed and said “1 did it.” Hough drew & pisrol and fired. Cross-examined:—They were five or six feet apart when the pistol was fired. It seemed to witness that both were standing still. Gaskin said: “1 pinned that to your coat.” After the shot Gaskin struggled with Hough to get the pistol. Witness did not see the pistol tll it was fired. It was a single barrelled, tilting- breech loading weapon, of the Frank Wesson pattern. Witnes: ized Hough. All he said to witness was: “John. don’t choke me.” Wit- ness said: “I won't, don’t strike me.” Don’t think Hough and Gaskin were acquainted. It wns about 3 o’clock p.m. The first conversa- tion was about the policy of the President. Witness remarked that he supposed Hough went into the army to abolish slavery. Wit- ness said that Lincoln was an abolitionist: that heconld tella good joke. Didn't say Hough went to steal negroes. Hough was intimate with witness. Hough was stunding up ail the time. and witness don’t know of ar opportuni- ty to pin anything to his coat Don't Know that anybody pinned anything on it; didu’t see it ull Hough came back. While he was gone scme one said he had “suisance on bis coat,” but didn’t know whatit meant, whether dirt or what it was. Hough wasgone 15 to 3) minutes. (A diagram of the restaurant building was Ser eaage Witness described the position of parties, itmess denied saying atthe hearing before Judge Wylie that he did not see the shooting: said he did not see the bal! but saw the smoke and heard the report of the pistol.

Jokes iatigdes sworn.—Is bar tender at the res- taurant. At the ume of this occurrence Mr. Hough wasin the bar room with Mr. Thorn conversing on politics. During the time wit- ness supposed Hough got something on his coat tail. He wentaway and returned, and said “some s—n of ab—h pinned something on my coat.” He went into thelittle room. When he was Beturning to the bar room Gaskins fol- lowed and witness also. As Hough was going out of the bar room door Gaskinssuid “] pinned iton Hough replied, --No you didn’t.” Gas. kins rejoined, “Yes! I did’ Just then me pistol was fired. ‘The man looked a littie angry; aidn't see Gaskin raise his hand or have any- thing in it. After the pistol was fired Gaskin seized Hongh and took the pistol from kun. Witmess thinks Gaskin said “I'm a dead man " Cross-exaimined:—They were talking about Johnson and Lincoln. Hough staid half an hour before he wentaway. The others drank while Hough was there. Witness thinks that Thorn saidto Hough “Come up and take a drink and pay for it yourself.” Told them twice to make less noise or 1 (witness) would put them out. Don't think Hough said he could lick the s—n of a b—h; said he would like to know the s—n of a b—h that did it. Heard some one say as Hough was going out “Here's the man that did it.” Gaskin said «<I Pinned it om your coat tail; what of it!’ Wit. ness did not interfere; thought there would be a fuse, but might have been frightened. They were about four feet apart. First witness knew of the pistol it went off. Hough had it: think he took it from his right coat pocket. Don’t think Gaskin was doing anything at the time. Witness ran away to the other end of the room and locked the door. Thorn had hold of Hough. George Collins, sworn—The Sunday reterred to was at Lang's. Thorn and Hough were arguing—witness wen: into the sitting room. Gaskin was then sitting on a table. Hough came in said he wanted some ene to show the s— ofa b— whe pinned nuisaace to his coat. Thorn remarked if any gentleman in the room did it, he was not afraid to say so. Hough went out, Gaskin got up and said “1 did it.” Hough replied Did you!” The pistol was fired—witess didn’t see it. The door was opened—he looked through—saw Gaskin have the pistol and struggling with Hough: the pistol peinted to the door. Witness dodged supposing it might be a revolver ard go off ain. e C. Wheeler, for defence, sworn.—_Went to the restaurant before Hough left; know noth- ing of the conversation; noticed something pinned to Hongh’s coat. butsupposing the par- Hes were friends, witness said nothing about it; called for some oysters; Morgan, the bar tender did not have them, and witness took a sandwich. Just then Hough left. Witness bad about eaten half the Sandwich when Hough returned with a paper roiled up in his hand. He said “some s— of a b— pinned that to my coat.” Some one replied “you coulda’t whip anybody no how.” Hough went toward the door. A large man—since ascertained was Gaskin—said in a low tone “I did it.” Hough did not hesr it. Some one ssid “here's the man that did it” Hough turned and looked back, and said, “O, pshaw! I don’t believe it.” Gas kin came out and said «I did it. What of it!” Hough again said “0, pshaw, 1 don’t believe it” Gaskin m said “1 did it.” Witness heard the pistol. The lastremark was made ina tone calculated to excite Hough—in a defiant tone. Witness thinks the time between Hough's departure and return was five or ten minutes. Witness had ordered the sandwich as Hough Jeft—it was already prepared—and when he (Hough) returned witness had eaten about half of it. } The remaining witnesses knew nothing of the occurrence. They testitied to the excel- Jent character of Hough, his accidental pos- secsion of the pistol, and his readiness to sub- mit to & trial by law, Judge Fisher said he wasat a loss bow to act in this case. If the law here was as in States where he bad been, he would know how to Act, butitis pot. Here there is but one degree in murder, and that not bailable. He bad his doubte, but a jury might not have the same doubts. He thought it safest not to take bail, And remanded the prisoner to the custody of the Marshal.

Tue Cars Now anp TaEy.— When the city cars ran regularly they were plied with every possible epithet of abuse. Now that they are withdrawn, the public find that they are an in- stitution whose con venience im: urably ex- ceeds all the annoyances of which they were the cause, and the people in the most gushing manner apply the tenderest epithets to the ve- nicles which stand in long lines at the depots, mute witnesses of the discomfort of hundreds of thoveands of citizens, and waiting for the drivers who do not come. A week ago, all who- could, avoided the street cars; now the popu- lace rush madly to them, crowd the inside, cling to the platforms and mount the roofs. The desire to ride in 8 car bas become a mania and the straggling and bedraggied hosts who marched down Broadway and the Bowery this morning. bitterly bewailed the strike which had deprived them of their accustomed and much coveted privilege—N. ¥.
