Monroe Edwards. The Trial of Colonel Monroe Edwards, The trial of this singular, suecessful, expert, hand- some, extraordinary financier, commenced yester- day, and bids fair to be one of the most interesting and exciting that has ever occurred in this or any country since the days of Fauntleroy. A fall report of the opening speech by Mr. Allen, and the evidence of the first let of witnesses, is given in this day’s paper. An Exrra Heraup will be published to-day, with the developments that may be given this morning. This trial creates a great sensation in all financial and philosophical circles. The crowd yesterday that listened to the curious evidence was immense. Some persons, indeed, went so far as to knock down the police in order to procure admission to the Court room. This interest is awakened, no less by the personal history of Col. Edwards—his wonderful financial! and fashionable achievements in both he- mispheres—than by the extraordinary array of counsel on each side. No fewer than eleven lawy gathered from the four winds of heaven, are engw ged in this extraordinary case. The very collision of such a collection of brilliant minds, is enough to “fright the isle from its propriety ”’—perchance to produce an earthquake, a hurricane, or a showerat least. Wit will sparkle against wit—mind oppose mind—law meet law—learning—out do learning and eloquence out-talk eloquence. The developements in the sacred mysteries of modern finance are also rich in wisdom and wonders. What the issue may be, no one can tell—but no doubt the “ devil will take care of hisown.” Among the iunmense crowd present, there were the following :— Judge Tallmadge, of the Superior Court. Judge Ulshoeffer, of the Common Pleas. David Graham, Corporation Attorney. Henry M. Western of the New York Bar. Rey. Dr. Wainwright, of the Episcopal Church. Col. Webb, of the*Regular Army. Joe Hoxie, Exq., Ex-Tippecanoe vocalist. Philip Hone, Esq., Godfather of the whig party. R. M. Blatchford, of the famous pipe-laying com. mittee. These are only a few of the distinguished per- sonages present. To-day a greater crowd will be there—the City Hall will be full—the Park will be crowded—and all New York will be on the gui vive. Every extraordinary bit of evidence, or flash of wit, was passed out yesterday, away down atnong the crowd, as you would a hat to receive a shilling fora subscription. To-day, the whole town will be on their legs, listening to the good things. Judge Kent presides with great dignity, impartiality, and de- corum—all the lawyers on each side are cool, col- lected, and courteous. Pray Heaven, in its kind mercies, may keep them go throughout this trial. The lion of the day, however, is the gallant Col. Edwards, of the rég’lers; who takes the whole af- fair as coolly as he would the odd trick at a game of whist for five dollars. May his Holiness the Pope remember us all in his prayers—for we want, in these latter days, all the aid he cait give ust oe neighborhood of the foreign importing houses. A. L. Frosch, an importer of French and German goods in Pearl street, was arrested and committed en Monday evening on a charge of defrauding the revenue, by false inyoices , and false entries, and for perjury, in swearing to the same ai different times. The information was given from the ap- praisers, who had been suspecting some foul play for some time. Ona late importation by Frosch, three packages of goods were sent to the appraisers, which tallied with the invoices, but on further examina- tion of the balance, it appears the articles or prices were entirely different; 1 was also ascertained, we learn, that entries, lodged at the Custom House by Frosch for various goods, had been taken thence, and in his possession. The Collector on first repair- ing to the store of Frosch, gave him an hour to re- turn the same; and inthe meantime a warrant for his arrest was issued by the District Court, and he was committed on Monday night. On yesterday he gave bail in the sums of $10,000: A few hours pre- vious to his arrest a quantity of goods had been sent away from his store, and the officers of the Customs arrested seven packages ona cart in Pearl street. During the whole of yesterday the officers have been taking possession f al! tHe goods and packages in the store of Frosch, and safely securing them at the Publiestore. The amount seized is thought to be about $60,000. The goods are mostly bombazines. This is said to be but one of many cases which willcome offamong the inspectors of fo: n goods. The Government should return to the warehouse system at onte, Crgar Ways—Inon Srramers.—It has been sta- ted that there is not a single vessel on the stocks in any ship yard in this city, except one sinall steamer. and that there are no contracts fot futhte building. This statement js not far trom the truth as regards wooden vessels; but there are vessels of a more du- rable material now under completion in this city, namely, four iron steahiets, intended for inland na- vigation, constructed under the direction of Mr. Ericsson, for Captain Stockton, two of which were launched last week, and two others intended to be launched next Saturday. These vessels are 97 feet long, 23 fect beam, 8 feet hold, each containing 53,000 pounds of wrought iron, of which material they are entirely composed. The first boat, the Black Diamond, when launched, drew, with deck, hatches and rudder, only 533 inches, and the second, the Vulcan, only 154 inches, including the depth of the iron keel 24 inches. ‘This extraordinary light draft isa strong recommendation to iron boats, and Captain Stockton will be entitled to mach credit for introducing them to the inland navigation, and thereby adding one foot or 18 inches to the depth of our numerous canals and shallow rivers, and giving stimulus to the international commerce of the eoun- try, by introducing steam power on the canals, a thing hitherto considered impossible. The “ Black Diamond” as well as the “ Vulcan” are now in the North River, near the Phenix Foun- dery, where they were built, and their steam machi- nery and propellers very nearly complete.

NEW YORK HiKALD. tional evidence and developments on the trial of Dear Sir,— ¥ On Saturday, the:28th inst., the Henry Club, lately established, held a meeting at the Washingtan fall. The meeting is said to have been one of the largest, most respectable, and enthusiastic ever seen in Louisville. A lengthy preamble and several reso- lutions were read and adopted by the meeting. These preambles and resolutions censured in the strongest terms,the administration of President Ty- ler, and that, “in consequence of misrule and bad government, our beloved country has been precipi- tated from a condition of unexampled prosperity to one of universal destruction and ruin, in which all the branches of industry and enterprise fail to secure their proper and accustomed rewards, and against which they struggle in vain;”—to let you and your very many thousand readers know the severe lan- guage they used as regards our President, I copy one of the resolutions adopted at the meeting :— Resolved, That John Tyler, our President by accident and not by merit, has, by his weakness and obsthnacy, proved himself to be unfit for the duties of the station he occupies, and, by his abandonment of the [een les of the party which elevated him, has won for himself, not the jonor which belongs to a benefactor, but the execration which overwhelms the undeserving. Whether this is just or not,I leave for you and pour readers to decide; the meeting did not stop ere, another wreath of shame or praise (as the case may be) was to be added to their brows by the adop- tion of a still more unworthy resolution in reference to Martin Van Buren, and certain whigs of this city who addressed to him a letter of invitation to a pub- lic dinner on his arrival in this city (which invita- pie ae’ Van Buren, however, respectfully de- clined). Resolved, That the letter, addressed by the Hon. John pee fgg an others, inviting i = Buren pa noeert ofa udlic dinner, as a testimonial of the proba- fon of his publi¢ life by the citizens Sr Pourvitie eed the county of Jetferson, #0 far da it Hai by ap enone mentor the whi Srarenentbes ad, atid in direct oppo- of every true whig. sition to the sent What action the committee, who made this invi- tation, will take.on the above resolution, remains to beseen; that they will take some action upon it is certain. On Sanneeayy although it rained, Mr. Van Buren paid a visit to New Albany, at the request of numerous citizens, and was cordially received by them. J. K. Paulding, on his arrival here, was se- verely indisposed, and obliged to retire to his apart- ments as soon as he atrived; he was therefore una- ble to participate in the honors shown to Mr. Van Buren. A very distressing and melancholy affair took place last evening atour wharf, The steamer West Wind, Capt. Phillips, from St. Louis, bound to Cincinnati, collapsed ber flue, and scalded some seven or eight deck passengers, two of whom were women, both badly scalded. Of the men, only one escaped with slight ingtrys the rest suffering severely and not expected to live. Two titen leaped over- board, and are supposed to have been drowned; the body of one was found this morning; one of the fire- men was hurt very much; a woman, a Mrs. Hait, swam unaided to the shore; the third cook was in- jured by a flying brick; none of the cabin passengers were injured; the neglect and carelessness of the chpineets is alleged to have been the cause of this sad catastrophe. The West Wind's trip from St. Louis here is the quickest on record, being 46 hours running time; from port to poft 89H. 6m.—time lost. dead loss, occasioned by packing cylitidér head 7h. 55m., thus accomplishing a distance of —— miles in the short space of 46hours. ‘ A fire occurred last night; it originated in a black- smith shop, and communicated to three or four small brick houses; amount of lossnot known.

Shocking Intelligence—Sudden renewal of hostilities— Terrific attack upona detachment of the Patrol Watch, and capture of five canes and a yack knife. Mr. Bennerr— Thasten to inform you of a sudden and unexpec- ted renewal of hostilities, on the part of the suffrage men, which todk place last night. You are proba- bly aware that, for some time past, in addition to the regular city watch here, we have also had, for the better security of the city, and in order to pre- vent any attempts by incendiaries to burn the same, a volunteer patrol, composed mostly of young men, many of them from some of our first families; none of whom, however, have ever “been in action’ more than once. Last night, ag 4 detachment of five of these were ceding up Aiwell’a Avenue (leading on to the Battle Ground, about to become so “famous in story”) and talking over their ex- loits on that memorable day; they were surrounded by a party of eleven of the enemty; wlio se upon their canegin an instant, swore Mate stfeaked itlike a flash of urges One of the patrol lost his jack knife inthe scrape. The affair has created no little excitement, and will probably lead to acall for United States troops! Seriously, there is a dread- ful thirst for blood here among all parties, and 1am satisfied that nothing would more effectually allay the excitement which has been raging here so long, and cool down the two hostile factions sooner, than agrand set-to between the two contending forces, and I do most sincerely hope that it will soon come off.

Tue Warstrre—Loro Jonx Hay.—During the last two days, the guns from the big ships off the Battery, have been sounding salutes at intervals, since tlie artival of the Warspite, in giving honor to different visiters of distinction. Lord John Hay, commander of the Warspite, visited the North Ca- rolina yesterday morning, when fourteen guns were fired. As we saw this gallant officer in full uniform and one sleeve hanging, step from the barge at the Castle Garden, it brought to mind some thrilling in- cidents of the late war. Capt. Hay Was a midship- man on board the Shannon, when she captured the Chesapeake, commanded by Capt. Lawrence, who with the brave Ludlow, died fighting on the deck. This same officer now returns after a lapse of nearly thirty years, himself a Post Captain, and anchors his battle ship in our merry waters, in friendship and in peace May Britain and the States ever be in peace—the bunting and the stars in sunshine stream together, as on to-day—May the guns from ship to ship be ever but salutes, and may all their warlike marches be changed to “ tuneful measures.”"—En avant. Derarture or Packets—Travet to Evrorr.— The steam ship Belgian Queen, and packet ship George Washington, sailed yesterday—one at noon and the other at two o'clock. Churles Dickens and lady went in the George Washington. Both ships took about forty passengers. The packet ship England, Capt. B. L. Waite, which is to sail for Liverpool on the 19th inst., has already engaged twelve or fifteen passengers, and from the known popularity of the ship, she will go fall. Yesterday the officers of the Warspite visited her, and were highly gratified with the ship and her commander, who sometimes. cultivates a farm in Connecticut on the principles laid down by Bow- ditch in his work on navigation.

More flagrant perversions of the election laws than were exhibited yesterday at our military elections, proba- bly were never known in this city. The chief bone of contention was the election of three Brigadier Generals in three several'brigades. The result in the first only is known—whete Grdwallader beat Fritz and Lee by a con- siderable majority. In the second brigade, Col. Roumfort is believed to be elected. Inthe third, the “ widest liber- ty” wasallowed in voting. And it is strongly intimated that liberties not warranted by the law, were counte- nanced after the ballots had been deposited. The returns as counted showed some very singular facts, and results her Cry it “ Ske ne ng hue ae could ave In this le, it is expected, a0 flagrant werethe irregillerities, thar a hew election will heve to be ordered. At one of the polls, some two hundred more votes were found in the box than there were names upon tally list; and at another poll, all the judges and in- refused to take the oath prescribed by law, and held the election without it.

The defalcation of the Secretary of the Ocean Insu- rance Company has engrosse] public attention to-day.— Many misrepresentations have, however,appeared in print iu regard to the matter. We will briefly state the facts. Mr, Schermerhorn was appointed in 1318, with a salary of about $2,000 perannum. On that salary jhis habits of fru- gality enabled him to support his family and upto the year 1832, to amass asum of near $4,000. At that time the great speculation in Morris Canal came up, and in an evil hour a professed friend induced Mr. Schermerhorn to spe- culate in that stock. He unfortunate, snd in a few days the savings of fourteen, besides a small balance, were sunk. This shock had a powerful effect upon him, and he took from the company a small sum, intending of course to return it. Thet sum eventually swelled to over $100,000—it consisted of 800 shores of stock issued, which is worth about $28,000, and the remainder was concealed by forced balances of his bills receivable. In the ten years which have elapsed since his first false step, Mr. Scher- methorn has been exceedingly frugal in his expenses, anit his little savings have been passed to the credit of the company. ‘The change which has taken place in the na- tureof the insurance business has led to the winding up of the company, when the stockholders were to have been paid of. ‘The approach of this event rendered longer con- cealment impossible, and Mr. Schermerhorn voluntarily disclosed the whole. The value of the stock in the mar- ket has been 80 per cent; to-day, however, 20 per cent was offered for it. A morning paper, in remarking upon this affair, has the following :— “ Mr. Schermerhorn, feeling that he could no longer avoid detection, and that the robbery he had committed must become known, peer tothe Poetic . that he had embezzled, or more properly speaking, bere dara ofitscapital. = “He alleges that in 1832 he was induced to purchase quantity of Delaware and Hudson Canal Stock, the loss upon which exceeded his obility to meet, and he took from the Company the umount necessary to make up his deficiency.” The writer of this probob!y Cid not choose to remember there is any such stock a5 “ Morris Canal,” therefore he stated it Delaware and Envison. Now, the terms used in speaking of the transaction, are possibly just, but where is the moral difference between this operation and that of #n editor, who comes into Wail stre: ipeculates in Morris Canal with the money of the people, loves a large balance which he refuses to pay, and oveniuaily takes the beneft of the act to settle the account? One uses money in hit possession, promising himseif to make it good, and the other runs in debt, and refuses to pay tat debit. The sales ot the Stock Board were small to-day, but prices were generally better. Delaware and Hudson rose I per cent; Indiana 5° }; Illinois 6% }; Harlem 3; Long Island }; Kentucky }; New York State 5}’s per cent.
