The boldness and success of forgeries had astounded every body; and but for a slight circumstance, caught up and carried out into ultimate discovery by O. M. Lowndes, Esq., ihe confidential counsel of the banks, we do not be- lieve that the perpetrator ever would have been dis- covered. The commercial community, therefore, owes much to Mr, Lowndes for his singular sagacity act in discovering this wonderful piece of very ; and they’are no less indebted to James R. 1nd his able associates—to Judge Kent— ove all, to the firmness of the jury, in render s most just an righteous verdict.

The jury soon afterwards came in, and on being asked if they had concluded upon a verdict, replied in the af- firmative. The announcement was recvived with evi- dent surprise and intense desire was manifested to uear the result. The Clerk then put the ustal ques- tion, “* What say you, gentlemen, is Monroe Ed- wards, the prisoner at the bar, guilty or not guilty? ‘The foreman rose and replied in a low but firm voice, GUILTY. None appeared for the moment to be more urprised than the prisoner himself. He took mat- ters very calmly, however, and goon resumed his usual composure.

The District Attorney rose and said:—“The prisoner at the bar having been convicted of murder—of the murder of his wite—I move that judgment be passed upon him according to law.” The Clerk then asked Rooyen “what have you now to say why sentence should not be passed upon you?’ The wretched prisoner attempted to utter something, but his words were pronounced so low that they could not be understood Judge Kent told him to come nearer and tell the Court what he had to say. He approached closer t: the Judge’s bench, and said in a feeble voice, “i know no more of it nora chil waborn” He then voke! uronnd upon the spectators, and said, “ there »re people here than will be present at my xecution, I lay mee side of her for three hours and a half and know nothing of it. 1 got up, but fell again across her on the iloor, by the fire place.

Itis a large building capable of hold- ing, say 2000 persons. ‘The exterior is remarkably jain, butthe interior shows a finish of elegance and magnificence, combined with the simple and chaste style, that refleets great credit upon the architect. Chey have now decidedly the most aristocratic looking church in these “diggings.”” Great exertions had been made fer some weeks in arranging iuat- ters so that the dedicationshould come off with éclat, The Sisters, as usual, were unusually indus- trious; their whole soul seemed to be fixed upon the performance of the day—they determined to have for once grand and eflective musie—they ar- ranged a choir for the occasion—such running and racing for days before—such tuning of pipes, and squills to clear their notes were never known be- fore—every lady in town possessing a light and clear tone was engaged. The Rev. Professor Bascom was engaged espe- clally for the oceasion, and preached an effective nd impassioned sermon from 12 Daniel, 4. E igantic mind, a refined taste, unda fine iana- sipation. He is a noble, fine looking man, and cems to have been intended by nature for a Gene- ral; he looked as though he was born to command— he would be a brave and daring man upon the battle field, or 1am mistaken in him. His appearance re- minded me of our present Postmaster Ceneral. While praying, however, his words seem more in- tended to please the ear of man than to reach the Ruler of the Universe; it seemed to me that he etic talent. He has an air of nonchalance which he carried out to perfection. His gesticulation is violent, and of the really tragedy cast. In _his rear and to the right, upon a sofa, sat Bro- ther Deering, the pastor, @ pleasant little man, the very image of s.lf-complaceney; he has a mild and placid expression of countenance, and would be piety personified, were it not that the phrenologists would discover the propensities too strongly deve- loped—his part in the exhibition seemed to be to act astemperance butler tothe orator. I observed him always ready to pour out the cool and refresh- ing beverage of nature when wanted. I would ob- serve en pussant that the speaker evidently showed, by the “ science” manner of carrying the glass to his lips, that he had in his time qiafied ‘* rosy wine” in fashionable places. Brother Brush was seated to the left of the speaker, and looked very “‘pecooly,” as much as for to say, | wish Ihad been selected to open the ball, I would have went it with a rush. hat his particular duties were, I cannot say; probably he was placed there to balance Brother Deering, and produce uni- formity of appearance in the pulpit. In front of tne pulpit, in the middle of the aisle, was a chair, and on that chair was seated the heavy corporation of the already announced Rev. President elect of Me- thodist Transylvania; he was in applepie order; his coat was either a new one, or had been well sprink- led with alcohol and brushed to give it a fresh ap- panies for the occasion—his hair appeared to have been newly cut, though ery ione—he hasa happy appearance, and must feed well—his tout en- semble is exactly that of an Alderman seated before his turtle soup at Guildhall. Near him, on his right, was the open faced pro- fessor of languages. 1 was pleased to see the appro- bative smile upon his countenance; I looked ear- nestly for the professor of mathematics, the last. of “the trio,” but could not see him. ho is that intellectual looking man to the left of the pulpit? The frosts of some sixty winters have whitened his locks. Ah! now I see it is the Rev. Doctor F———, a gentleman possessing great versatility of talent and opinions. He succeeded well asa physician—commenced the law, and coped succesfully at the bar with some of the mighty of the land, but a change again “ came o’er the spirit of his dreams,” and he ascended the pul. pit, where he now labors. _ He has been, if report be true, in his day, a deist, then a Marshallite, Pres. byterian, Baptist, and is now some other ist, the exact shade of which I do not uaderstand. Whéther he has an idea of trying methodism or not I cannot say; it cannot be for want of a church. The building in’ which his congregation meet is certainly the largest in the city, and has decidedly the most airy appearance, albeit the atm ere is not redolent ofthe perfume of cau de cologne. Who is that standing to the right of Brother Deer- ing, one step lower down, with his hair — slicked down? He is a pleasant little man. Ah see now, it is Brother Wyatt K——. Under the lamp,to the right, stands a man with the‘perspiration running from every pore. If the moisture could only be fancied cold, he would be agood emblem fora temperance society.

Before the sermon closes, I would ask you to take notice of a young gentleman sitting at the end of the pew in the extreme south corner of the building. I cannot but notice the contrast in the appearance of him- selfand his next neighbor. The first is dressed in black, with an intellectual forehead, a sparkling poetic eye, evidently a man of taste, imagination ind talent. Every impassioned flight of the speaker he seems to drink into his very soul. His neighbor isa very cozy looking chap; he looks as though he was cut ont for a grocer’s clerk—nothing the speaker ays, neither Goes the crowd before him, seem to nike anyimpression on him, and I go 80 to 1 that ne does not hear the speaker, and 100 tol hat he is now thinking of a julep. Now the sermon is over, Can the $3000 wanted be raised. Brace yourself, Bascom; you have a hard row to hoc. Instead of taking up collections in the usual way, the name of each individual was cried out with the amount. The whole had the appearance of a game of poker. ‘The Rey. Presi- dent opened the game by going $100 flat. Brothers U., G., and others, * went” the pion but did not seem disposed to go “any better;” finally a * sight” was called for.

The usual amount utine business was transacted, and the claim of Deane, consumed the remainder of the time, up to the hour when the letters must be despatched. The Navy appropriation bill is expected to come. up next. The finance committee have amended the bill as it came fromthe House, by striking out the proviso of Mr. McLellan, which would arrest pro- motions and appointments for the next five years— the amount of the} appropriation is not materially changed. In the House several resolutions were adopt- edand several laid on the table. The one hour rule is re-established, and hereafter no member can inflict his tediousness upon the House for more than an hour atatime. A resolution instructing the Judiciary Committee to report a bill refunding Gen.

Some of the high tariff men are coming to ticir senses, and will give up distribution to get a cuod tariff. What may become of it cannot be iold yet. There isa vast deal of humbug here. Itisa seeiar, aswell asa liv +y juble fact, that there is hardly a merchant in Congress in either house. The practical effect of this state of things is just what might be expected—on all mercantile matters the grossest ignorance, disgraceful to the members of some of the most important commit- tees, added to which, we may say, is an equally dis- graceful self conceit, ‘ ig _ To illustrate this, it will be sufficient to cite a single sentence of the tariff law introduced by Mr. Fillmore, Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means. Sec. 17 provides for the a goods, and amo e. igement of t other absurdities it enacts “ that in all cases where the actual yalue to be ap- vraised, estimated, and ascertained, as herein before stated, of any goo Wares, or mer- chandize imported into the United States, and subject to an advalorem daty, or whereon the duty isregulated by or directed to be imposed or levied onthe square yard, or other parcel or quantity thereof shall exceed by ten per centum or more the invoice value; then, in addition to the duty imposed by law on the same there shall be levied and collected on the same, goods, wares, or merchandize, 50 per ct. of the ae imposed on the same,when fairly invoiced.” Itwas left for the present Congress to impose a spe- cific duty on certain articles and yet punish the im- porter for not invoicing them fairly. Toshow more tully the character of this provision, it will be neces- sary to mention the article of Imperial Gunpowder Tea which is to pay twenty cents per Ib. duty. If the importer should buy it in China cheaper than whut the appraiser might suppose to be the tair market price by 10per cent., then the article 1s sub- ject to a duty of thirty cents per pound. The im- porter would naturally claim that the price which he paid for it could make no difference with an article paying epecific duties, to which the appraiser would answer that the American government had nosuch il- liberal and penurious intention as to allow a manto buy tea or any other article chieacitt they liked good prices themselves, so they would compel their citi- zens to pay good prices to others, on the system of home valuation, advocated by the Humbug League. The Committee of Ways and Means believe in no such flummery as allowing people to buy things low- er than their neighbors, even when they do not pay in ad valorum duty. It is.a piece of impertinence for which a man must be fined fifty per cent on his invoice. The tariff of the Committee of Ways and Means will read thus in the books :— On raw sugar (if bought dear), af —— per pod. 40 Do do” (ifbought cheap), 3 On Imperial (if bought dear), 20 do de Do do (if houg! tehear 30 do do. cas £0 on with the whole list ofall the specific ar- ticles. ‘This system will work well in one respect. It will save merchants the trouble of urging on their cor- respondents the necessity of filling their orders at jow prices, asthey are pow accustomed to do, and the correspondent abroad, instead of being at the trouble of buying articles cheapand giving himeelf a great deal of trouble on that score, will have reason to boast that he has obliged the American by charg- ing him a good round price for his cargo to prevent his being punished by the forfeiture of his goods. It isin framing such absurd and ridiculous laws as these that the American people are Paying three thousand dollars per diem to the present Congress. ‘There was a very brilliant party atthe White House on Saturday night.

Why, the extravagance of wives, sisters or anghtere—the unconquerable passion for dress, and st ish living.

Progeedings in Congress—Custom House. The Senate went into executive session this after- noon, immediately after ordering the Silas Deane claim to a third reading. Mr. Caldwell of New Or- leans, who had been nominated as Treasurer of the Mint, was rejected. Mr. Gurdon Bradley of New Haven, Connecticut, was confirmed as Consul to Mayaguez, Porto Rico—Mr, Edward; Webster of Boston, to Bombay,'and some other minor nomina- tions were assented to. A personal altercation took place in the Senate, between MeRoberts of Ilinois, and Mr, Smith of Connecticut, Mr. Smith charged Mr. McRoberts with falsehood. The latter retorted with some spirit, but there is no danger of bloodshed. There will never be another fight in Congress, Recent events have shown that there is great economy of human life in the chivalry of the present day. ‘The House refused by a majority of seventeen, to concur in the ratio of 70608, inserted in the apportion- ment bill by the Senate. So the bill goes back with the ratio of the House, 50,179. Thenext amend- ment of the Senate is the proviso that a fraction ex- ceeding one half the ratio, shall entitle a State to an additional representative. This will probably be re- jected—the Senate will insist, and then the matter will go toa commiitee of conference. It is understood that the Select Committee for in- vestigating the Custom House matters are impress- ed with the necessity of visiting New York, with a view to a more general and thorough scrutiny into the management of the whole concern. There isa difficulty at the present time, as the votes of all are required on the tariff, and the House would be re- luctant to grant the requisite authority ; but it is in- timated that a select committee will be raised, with power to sit during the recess.
