Towards night the crowds met spontaneous- y in the Park, and opposite Tammany Hall, to the extentofmany thousands. The big guns were brought sul, and twenty-five were fired off at the first breath three first vetoes. A gentleman named E. 1. Camp, Esq. connected with this offiee, who had in Extra in his hand, was caught by the populace, ompelled to mount one of the guns, and there to ead the message to the thickening crowds. After he liad finished his task, a seream of delight rose upto heaven from the assembled mass, like the voice of Niagara Falls, and they rushed like mad- men to the guns and fired off seventy-five guns for the last, the utest, the bravest, the boldest stand, ereyet taken by a President of the United States against the raseally speculators, politicians and fi- fire vain for the nanciers who have disgraced, dishonored and af- Hicted the country. During the whole night, up to midaight, the crowds were thick around Tammany Hall, the Park, and near the Herald Buildings. Such is the unexpeeted and astounding recep- tion of the Veto Message No. 4, by the people of Yew York. ‘The document itself will be found in this day’s paper.

There can be no mistake. The breach is now irrecon- cilable. What Congress may do, it is mmpossible to tell. Some say they will adjourn in a row, and leave the nment without a tariff—without revenue—ex- he present doubtful law which now exists, un- der which the merchants pay twenty per cent ad valorem, with a protest. If they do so, the Presi- dent will immed y call Congress together by Proclamation, and the political excitement will get her aad higher, uatil the fall elections shall de- termine whether the majority of the nation sup- ports Mr. ‘Lyler’s policy or opposes it. We are of on that the country will support the President's Every past and coming election indicates this lf so, the country declares against a Na- tional Bank—against a distribution of the land revenue—aBainst a high tariff—against an assump- tion of State debts—against the whole policy of the whigs, aad in fayor of the whole policy of the de- mocrats, Such is the state of the government and eountry. The treaty with England, settling finally and forever all our affairs with that power, will probably be ratified by the Senate. Messrs. Webster, Spencer, ud Forward, all of the cabinet, will resign—and probably Andrew Stevenson, of Virginia, formerly our ambassador in London, will be made Premier; Mr. Cushing and another may go into the cabinet, and a general removal of all the violent office- holders take place all over the country. ‘The intelligence trom Washington will now be very afternoon, immediately ils, we shall publish an result ly interesting after the arrival of the mail evening edition, with the latest news. Great squalls and much fun is expected. Don’t burst. We have twenty millions of people, and with the present crops, provisions and clothing for two years.

Samia or tae Great Wrsrern.—To-day the good, old-tashio. ed, steady-going, Great Western eamer sails, on her fiftieth voyage, with a goodly number of passengers, of all shades and and numerous bite of important intel, She takes out about seventy in all—if she had sailed from Boston she might have got ut thirty, that number being the ave- rage taken by the North American boats. Nothing will do for steam but a direct intercourse between Liverpool and New York, and the sooner the mana- gers of the Boston line come to that pass, the bet- ter it will be for their interests. Among the passengers is his Excellency M. de the French minister at the American court. He returns to recruit his health, which has been very equivocal of late. M. de Bacourt isa very amiable, worthy, zealous man for his govern- ment, but he wants the stirring popularity and mixed literary, fashionable and philosophical cha- racter, which gave such eclat to Count de Pointois Another of the passengers is Mr. Ricardo, the Eng- lish financier and banker, who has been some months in this country, looking after State stocks and State debts, He returns rather chagrined and Mississippi would not pay up—nor Baco| will Congress assume the debt. He will give melancholy accounts to his friends in England. Another of the passengers is Ralph Lockwood, Esq., 1 man of considerable talents and philosophical at- tainments. He has written much on political economy, and generally in favor of the high tariff. He goes out on an important secret mission—and for sny thing that we Know to the contrary, he may be employed by the government to negociate a loan in Europe—or perhaps to get a wife for himself, and corner Silas M.

It is to cele- brate a treaty of peace between two powerful na- tions, with the/same? interests, spekaing the same language, and bound together by the closest ties of Kindred, associations, and commercial relations— toestablish a system of friendship, harmony and good will thatnothing can interrupt for centuries. And looking at it in these points of view, it is one of the most important events to this country that has taken place since the Revolutionary war; for it set- tles all that the last war did not settle. And how much mere rational will itbe for us to celebrate an event of this kind, binding the two g.eat countries together, as it does, in the glorious hounds of friendship, good will commercial inter- course, than eulogising and giving grand balls and sumptuous dinners to a mere novelist, or rather a ic penny-a-liner, like Charles Dickens, who, af- ter faring sumptuously at our hands, on his return home,stigmatizes us as. @ nation of pirates, and men of low attainments ? We sincerely trust that the Corporation of New York will take this matter into their serious con- sideration and get up a grand fete, with a brilliant ball at Castle Garden :atthe same time, in order to celebrate the introduct:ion of the Croton Water into ourcity. Thus we sh all have a simultaneous cele- bration, the conclusion of two of the most important wegotiations that ever were entered into for the beaefit of the city of New York. One as regards its commercial health—the other as respects its physi- calhealth. And we anticipate, therefore, a great movement on the part of all those interested, to take part in the celebration cif an aflairfthat is to contri- bute long and lasting happiness to all our fellow citi- zens, Mexico anp Tex. In our paper of yesterday, e the full details of the position of affairs in these two countries; svace which nothing new has reached us from that part of the world It appears that Mexico isin a state of civil war; Arista and Santa Anna are arrayed against each other. In Texas, Houston is preparing to carry on the war; a party of Mexicans, near 1000 strong, have in- vaded Texas, and a battle has probably, ere this, been fought on the Guadaloupe river. The result we can prephecy—Mexicans defeated. Canapa.—We have not had a line of interesting or important news from this part of the world, since the departure of the British Queen, on Sunday last. Allseems quiet, happy, and prosperous. Lady Ba- got and family have reached Montreal in safety, and were to give a sort of grand drawing room or levee, and then proceed to Kingston. Sir Charles and kis lady seem to be great favorites in the Pro- vince. The news of the Treaty caused great rejoicings in Canada. Sticipe.—A soldier belonging to the 2nd Battalion named Shannon, stationed atthe Windsor Barracks, got oot of his bed on Tuesday night last about 12 o'clock, and went into the yard and shot himself rough the head with his musket. The Montreal Herald says a great proportion of the recently arrived emigrants, are wandering about the streets, pennyless and houseless, without the possibility of procuring work. ‘THearricaLs IN THE Unirep Sratrs.—Braham and his son, when last heard from, were giving Con. certs at Lexingtoa, Kentucky, and met with great success ; as, indeed, they have at every place where they have sung since they left this city.

Fasmionante Movements.—These are now nar- rowed down to a limited scale. Lord Ashburton, having concluded his negotia- tions, will be in New York city in a day or two, to attend the great fete to be given in his honor, after which he will immediately leave for England in the Warspite. Lord Morpeth is still laying off with pretty Indian girls in the Manitoulin Islands, and Lake Superior. President Tyler will be in New York as soon as Congress adjourns, (two weeks,) on his way to Newport, to spend a week or two. His son Robert, with his lady, are enjoying the sea breezes at Fire Island. Ex-President Van Buren is cultivating cabbag and the talents of his charming niece, at Kinder- hook. Hon. Mr. Dunn, and Hon. Mr. Derbyshire, of Canada, are in town. Mr. Ricardo returns in the Western. Horsley Palmer remains at New Brigh- ton, Conxprrion or our Srreets.—We earnestly call upon the several Street Inspectors to see that the thoroughfares of this city are kept clean. ‘They are now in as dirty a condition as we ever saw them, and unless the brooms and hoes and shovels are ac- tively employed, the miasma which is now as thick as a fog, will breed some epidemic in less than a week Passenorrs ror Evrove.—There are quite 4 number of passengers going in our packet ships.— ‘The New York, commanded by the popular Cap- ¢ | ‘in Cropper, which sails on the 19th inst., has half a compliment already engaged, Trast.—The New World Extra has published the Lite of Louis Philippe, written by Mr. Wright, of London.

La Fete Champetre, a very comic piece is given with it this evening Elopement in High Life, Vice Chancellor’s Court. Before Vice Chancellor M’Coun. Tvurspay.—Among the decisions were several for di- yorce, some of them of aserious and important nature. We present the following. It onveys a moral which pos- sibly may beof service. Charles H. Edwards, v8. Amanda M. F, Edwards.—The complaint of the husband sets forth, that himself and Amanda M. F. Sturtevant were married in this city by the Rey. Rob’t M’Carter, on the 23d Sept. 1835; and that they belong to New York. During the month of June, 1340, at the residence of the complainant, 750 Broadway she main- tained illicit connection with a man named Jose M. Ribot, and with other persons unknown. In Dec. ’33,she had also cit connexion with a man named Henry Fox, at the re- sidence of complainant in Mercer street. She eloped on the 10th Oct. 1840, whilst the complainant in the low- er part of the city, attending to his business, and went to “urope in the Great Western, under the name of Mrs. Bertram, tor the purpose of placing hersel! under the care of Ribot. ‘The complainant left his house after breakfast orning, as usual, without any suspicion of her in- though he has since ascertained that she had pensive wardrobe prepared, ‘The following testimony was presented : Francis Somrs, Jr. sworn.—Was a passenger on board the Great Western in Oct. 1840; a lady wason board, call- ing herself Mrs. Bertram; she landed at Bristol; 1 receiv- ed acardfrom Mr. de Puga, with the name of Mrs. Ber- tram on it, and a request that I would introduce m her, saluting her by that name. The bell was ringing at the time I received it; I did not introduce myself to her, for Idid not think her conduct such as to make her ac- uaintance desirable. No one paid her any particular at- tention on board but the captain, i Maxvnt pe Puca sworn.—Mr. Ribot was recommended to me by a particular friend, and before he went away he told me he wanted me to perferm a service for him, which he would not mention unless I would promise to do it, tor it was practicable. He told me he had @ married lady asa friend, and that she wanted toleave her husband and go and join him (Ribot) in England, and that he had given an order to a friend of his at Matanzas, to forward me a draft, and wished me to pay her passag. money, which I did, and paid her passage in the Great Western. I believe it was on the 10th Oct. 1940, that she went away. Isaw her but once before Mr. away; it was at her house in Broadway, above Fourth street, and that is the only time I went to i rhouse, She camedown to my store when she wanted to see me. 1 wenton board the Great Western and saw her off; she went by the name of Amelia or Emelia Bertram or Ber- tron—some such name she gave me. I heard she was Mrs. Edwards—1 think she told me so when she called at ‘l give her some who her relatives were—some such name as Sturdevant. When she said she would be a teacher in England, it was inveply to my remark that Mr. Ribot might change his mind andleaveher. Mr. R. went by the Great Western the July previous. poke in very high terms of her husband, and said she had no fault to find with him. I en- deavored to dissuade ker from going, but she was deter- minedto go. I have received letters from Mr. Ribot, in which he states that he arrived in London a few days af- ter her, and then, I infer frem the letters from him, that she went on with him to France, and to Barcelona in in, which I believe is his place of residence. On be ig further examined, the witness stated that she said she ‘as the wife of Mr. Edwards, who belonged to the Ame- rican Insurance Company in this city—that the house in which he saw this tedy was on the east side of Broad- way, this side of 8th street, and above the Unitarian church; the lower part was occupied as astore; he thinks it was a three story house—that there were two parlors onthe second floor, and the bedrooms must have been over that. Maxis J. Givrorp sworn.—Mr. and Mrs. Edwards boarded with me at No. 2 Mercer street, corner of How- ard, and staid about ge anda half; she left me in the month ot April, I think, in the year 1889; she and her hus. band afterwards moved to Mrs. Barnes’s, and staid there nine months. She oo the rest of the year in Duane street, and then kept house in Broadway; during the time she was with me there were two gentlemen (Mr. Fox and out Mr. Brett) who were very intimate with Mrs. E December, Mr. Fox called to see her, after tea; Mr. wards had gone out, and Mr. Fox remained alone Mrs. E. until after 12 o’clock at night; this was in her bed room; I was accidentally in the next room, which was parted by folding doors, and I heard Mrs. E. say to Mr. Fox, that she ought then to be in the family way, with a child begotten by him, for six months; that she under. stood that he (Mr. Fox) 'was going to be married, and that if that was the case, ull intercourse must cease ‘between them; that she had’ treated Mr, Edwards (her husband) very ill, and that she had had no cause for it; that he was one’ of the best of husbaads; there was other language passed between them that was unfit to report; the turn of the language left no doubt on my mind that the intercourse between them was criminal; I also heard movements on the bed, from which Ihave also no doubt of the fact; I never saw any thing in Mr. Edwards’ conduct to lead ‘ ‘o think that he had any suspicion of her conduct, or in any way connived at it. He invited gentlemen to pa the evening with her when he would be absent, but this appeared to be fromthe unbounded confidence he had in her; I never dared to hint my opinions to Mr. Edwards till Mrs. E. had left the city. Many Wexsn, sworn—I was for eight months with Mrs, the U. S, ship North Carelina, Weovesnay, Aug, 10. ‘Turat or Lirut. R. F. Pinckxey, Continued. TheCourt met pursuant to adjournment, andthe mn. ntes of yesterday"s proceedings were read by the Judge Advocate. ‘The first witness called this morumg was Lieutenant Wi.xes, Who produced a copy of anorder, and then enter ‘0 a long argument with the Court, the subject of which was, that he should be allowed to examine wit- nesses as to ti ns which were not included inthe charges at all. ‘The accused is charged with ening the letters, charged Pe re) oe aed to Lieut. Wilkes, to va- rious junior officers between the Ist of May and the Ist of October, 1840. All the witnesses who have hitherto been called, swear that they never saw those letters between those dates; and the prosecutor now wanted to be allow- ed to prove that they had seen those letters provious to the time laid in the charges, stating, that in his original charges he had so laid. “In reply to this the Judge Advo- cate produced the original charges which Lieutenant Wilkes had chi him with not correctly embodying in those on which the accused was being tried, and which proved that he had faithfully em! them. He then proceeded to examine Lt. Wilkes. Q.—State to the Court whether those papers are the charges which you forwarded to theDepartment as against the accused. A.—These are the papers, and I request they may form part of the record. Jvpox Apyocats—Will_you confine yourself to an- swering the question, Sir? The witness here found that he had waked up the wrong passenger, as the expression is, and that the Judge Adve. cate proposed to prove that the original charges ‘Faithfully embodied, and he therefore retracted his vations, and the matter, after consuming nearly an hour of the Court’s time, was dropped altogether, Lt. Wilkes attempting to apologise, but making matters a little worse than before, by saying, that ‘it was not ux who was dissa- tisfied, it was the Count” —thus hopping out of the frying pan into the fire, alled—1 do not know that Lt.

Wilkes about that tim ‘The letters referred to as having been exhibited by Lt. Pinkney between the Ist of May and 7th October, 1940, in \d “specification, were here shown the witness, who Idon’t know that I ever saw those letters. Lieut. Pinkney was, I believe, a suspended officer at that time on board the Peacock, and I was away doing duty, while the specification charges that I was under his command at the time. I can’t say that I have ever seen those letters before. Copies ofsome of them I may have seen in Sep- tember, 1839. Lam in doubt, however, whether [ saw any of those very letters, I am’ certain 1 have seen either co- pies or the originals of some of them. The witness did not recollect that he had ever seen the charge as laid in the 3d specification. I think, however, Inever did see them. After Lieut. Pinkney was arrested and hal permission to leave the squadron, I saw a set of charges which he intended to prer against Mr. Wilkes, but which I don’t think he ever sent in. Lieut. Pinkney was scrupulously careful in his deportment at this tim 1 believe he was generally careful, for he anticipated dif. ficulties with Lieut. Wilkes. I know nothing of the send- ing the charges through a third person except from hear- say. Q.—Have you ever seen a set of charges written by Lt. Pinkney on Yellow or Pinkish paper, on the 6th October, 1840 \ A.—Never, to the best of my recollection. ‘To the 2d charge, the witness said : Inever saw Lieut. Pinkney allow any thing to become ruined by neglect ; on the contrary, he was particularly careful to do every- th uty joined the it ie v ut. Pinkney tookcommand. It was at Matavia, about the 17th Sep- tember. I have never since I have been in the service seen an officer more anxious todo his duty and to pre- serve the public property. When I fenenine schooner she was so deficient in outfit that I did not consider her worthy, or my life safe in her, unless she had had re- pairs made. She had no binnacle,and no arm chest er racks. Q. By Covnt.—Where did you put tae compass ? Down en the deck. T hive frequently seen washed two or three tumes in a watch. There was not a comfort or convenience on the schooner. I don’t think it was possible to preserve the sails, for there was no place to stow them away when I joined her. They had to be laid on the top of the water casks in the hold, exposed to the damp and water. That was the best place we could get. The only place in fact. These things were all pointed out to me by Lt, perp > He was anxious to keep them from being ruined, and did his best to doso. We had no comforts, but were huddled together like ig .—Was Licut. Pinkney on Phing Fish at ite when Lieut, Wilkes visited her ? -—Lieut. Pinkney was on board. Lieut. Wilkes came on board twice and Lieut. Pinkney was on board both times. Iwas always on board except on Sunday and twice is all I €an recollect Lieut. Wilkes’ coming on board. Q.—Was Lieut. Hudson on board the Flying Fish on the 23d September. A.—He was in charge, but I don’t recollect whether he was on board that day or not. Lieut. Wilkes was on board on the 234 September and probably Lieut. leg ANS " Edwards, doing the general housework. I commenced ‘ing with her when she lived in Duane street, and after- war's lived with her in Broadway—I knew Mr. 1 think he gave his name Jose Ribot; he was a Spaniard; | have seen him at Mrs. Edwards’, in Broadway; I left Mrs. E. in the summer of 1840; Mr, Ribot was in’ the habit of coming to the heuse in the mogning atf10 o’clock,after Mr. XE. had gone to his business, At these times Mrs. Edwards locked the front door; she did not adopt the practice with any other person—Mr. Edwards carried a night key, but when the door was so locked, he could not get in even with his night key; Mrs. E. first moved there in May, 1840; she was not acquainted with Mr. R., I think, till shortly after it was at that time he began to visit the house; sometimes he came every day; sometimesonce in ever two or three days—She has told me that she loved Mr. Ri- bot better than anyother mam she had ever seen;1 have seen her in her morniag dress with him, but no looser than she was in the habit of wearing it; 1 once saw him in the par- lor with his coat and boots off, that was in the afternoon; Mr. Ribot wad brought hera worktable as a present the morning, and had been there all day with Mrs. E.- Mr. Edwards, in the afternoon, knocked at the street door; Topened it, and ashe was coming up stairs, Mrs. E, met him, and excused herself tofaimphat she had not yet dress. ed herself, and took him “ stairs intofthe third story, and afterwards came down and helped Mr. Ribot dress himself, and to get from the house, while Mr. E. was in thegthird story—I have gone into the room when Mr. Ribot and Mrs, Edwards were there together, but never saw any fa- miliarity between them, except that they were sitting on the sofatogether; she cried and appeared to be very sorry when Mr. Ribot was going to leave; she sent a letter by me to him the same morning that he was going to leave; she told meto go up to his room and to giveit to him, an to ne else; Ido not know what the note contained; I Il the visits of Mr. Ribot wore kept sorry; she did not go out much; I think Mr. E. knew that Mr. R. came there some- times; Mr. R.came very often in the evening; at those times Mr. Edwards would see him. Hvon Cavpwent. sworn—Is a physician in New York; Was acquaainted with Mrs. Edwards; 1 was attending her mother-in-law (Mrs. Edwards) when I first became ac- quainted with her, which was about two and ahalf years ago; it was in Duane street, in 1899, at her house. Question—Do you know of her having had carnal con- nexion with any man? A—Yes. Q.—At what time and place? A.—When she lived in Broadway, during the summer, two years ago. Q—In what part of the house was the adultery com- mitted * ‘A —It was in the front drawing room. Q—Can you state with whom A.—I do’ not know the individuals name—He was a Spaniard. What were your means of knowing ? A.—Thetwo rooms on that floor were folding door ; the front room was the drawing-room, the other, the dining room ; there} was an entrance into the dining-room from the entry ; | was shown up by the ser- vant—the girl that has just gone out here—and went into the dining-room ; the servant did not state that her mis- tress was engaged, or that any one ‘wet with her ; while waiting in the dining-reom, I casually, glanced through the folding-door, which was not completely shut, and saw the Spaniard in the act of carnal connexion with Mrs. Ed- wards on the settee; I immediately left, but on going down stairs was called back by Mrs. E.; she was dressed in her night-gown alone, with slippers; she had not any Chemise on her ; her confusion, and the appearance of her dress, and what I saw, left no doubt on my mind what had taken place ; she told me that she would leave Mr. Ed- wards ; she repeatedly told Mr. E. she would leave him ; she accepted presenta of Mr. Ribot of valuable articlos, with Mr. E’s knowledge ; Mr. Edwards, I believe, never dreamed of her conduct, no more than the child unborn ; she told Mr. E. that she would leave him and go to her friends in Connectieut—not conveying the idea of an elopement in what she said to him, but unequivocally ex- ressing it to myself ; | never mentioned these things to Mr. Edwards, inthe first place, 1 might have got my head broke, and in the next, 1 wou!d not have been believed, so ‘unbounded was his confidence in her ; she often said to me that Edwards was out-and-out too kind to her, and that she believed she would have been better if he had been less so ; Ithink Ribot was the name of the Spaniard I refer to; Thad seen him once or twice at her house before that; Mr. Fawards still resides here, and has ever since I have known him ; Isaw Mr. E. two or three days after the newsof Mrs. E's ent ; he appeared perfectly dis- tracted, and most miserable ; he cried like a child when he told me of it , J told him rather than grieve he should be happy in having got rid of a wretch who was unwor- thy of him ; they had deceived him, and he was guileless asa child, and would t no on Gxonor W.

Pinkney called his attention to those arms. 1 dont think Lieut Hudson was on board that day, for if { recollect right his vessel did not come in till the S4th. If] had my journal I ceuld tell, for I put it down. I think the Flying Fish arrived on the evening of the 22d, and Lieut. Hudson came in in his boat on the evening of the 23d, leaving his vessel outside. It was co ly the evening after the Flying Fish that the Peacock arrived. Jupce Apvocate—With the log book before you, state when the Peacock arrived at Papeite. A.—On the 24th September, 1839. Q—Did you go ait with Lieut. Wilkes at the time you mention? A.—I received Lieut. Wilkes, and remained there, when Mr. Pinkney invited Mr. Wilkes to go aft. I stood at the hatch, and saw Lieut. Pinkney showing Mr. Wilkes the arms. Iam positive of this, because I put it all down in writing, by request, being ‘desired to note all that oc- curred. Q—Why were you desired to note all that occurred? A.—In consequence of a letter received from Lt. Wilkes by Mr. Pinkney, remarking on the filthy condition ofthe schooner, and I was desired to note the condition of the schooner. Q.—Did he show you the letter, and what remark did he make? . ‘A.—I saw the letter; I don’t recollect his making an: remarks in particular. The letter reflected on me as weil as Lt, Pinkney, in reflecting that the Schooner was filthy, as | was required by Mr. Pinkney to keep the schooner clean. Q.—You have stated that the schooner was not fit for pigs to live in. What outfits did she get at Sydney? A.—I said we we were huddled together like pigs. She was made as comfortable at Sydney as she could. Q.—What was the condition of the schooner when you joined her? A.—It was destitute ofevery comfort. Wehadno place to stow our clothes in. There were lockers, but they were next to the skin ofthe vessel, and clothes put in them would be as black as ink in one night. Q.—Did you not say that you saw the charges previous uu? aid I did not know whether I had seen the charges I saw some charges after Lieut. Pinkney 1 dont know, Lieut. Emmons arrested him; 1 think bout the 17th or 18th of April, at Oahu ghe was put offduty. 1 know that he was under arrest when he showed me the chai 1 of, and had permission to go home. ‘They were headed, “ additional charges,” Ithink. Witnees.—if my journal is here, I should like to have it here for reference, as | may be mistaken in some of the dates. Jever Apvocatr.—I have a letter before me from the Secretary of the Navy, in which he says that he has sent Lieut. Wilks three orders to deliver up all those journals, none of which he has regarded. Lieut. Winxes.—I should like to have that charge clearly established, as it is a seriogs one. Jepae Apvocate,—I make no charge, sir. I merely state that Ihave such a letter before me from the Secre- tary, stating that as a fact. I remember the facts perfectly; 1 only want the journal to refer to the dates. On his further examination as to the desertion of five men, he said:—I know those men did desert andtake a Doat'with them. Mr, Harrison and myself, were the only two officers on board doing duty at the time, except the Commander. Mr. May had been detailed on special duty by order of Mr. Wilkes, for the purpose of attending to the packing of provisions on shore, and was excused from duty. I wasthe day officer. Twas called every morning at day light, (4 o'clock) and superintended the work of the mechanics during lay. It was necessary for the ood of the service, that an officer should attend to that Rey particularly, for the mechanics would not work properly without it. : .—Did Mr. May's duties prevent him from keeping a night watch ? ‘A.—He was detailed for special duty, and was excused from all duties on board the schooner, and did no duty on board her. 1 never was very particular to keep a night watch on board the schooner in port. IT have known Mr. Wilkes himself do without a watch when in port, when he had charge of her. 1 have known the schooner to run onshore when Lieut. Wilkes had taken charge of the watch. He was called at 4 o’clock,and told them to leave ‘Tom on deck (the pilot,) and he would come up directly, but he did not come up, until the schooner ran on shore, the man having gone to sleep on the mast head. Q. younot the officer of the midnight watch on the night the men deserted ? A.—I was in charge of the deck. The orders were that the man on the look out should call the officer if any thing happened. The officer was allowed to remain below. less something happened. 1 was upon deck only minutes before the men deserted. The deck was so lum- bered up that there was no room for an officer. I was on deck afew minutes before, and noticed two men there; and thinking it unusual, I reported it to Mr. Pinkney,who t fora man down into the cabin and asked him what they were doing, and he said they had just been relieving the watch. ‘he occasion of my going on deck was & into harbor, and soon after I had gone down, the desertion was reported- It was done 80 iy that some men on tho berth deck did not hear it. very neatly done. Q_Was it not very ogee NS amaeoer in the Some of these very watch to prevent the men desert A.-It was not, previous to this. ’ 7 men had been on shorealmost daily previously without any sort of Timit, andthere was no sort of suspicion that théy intended to desert.

His anxiety on this was such as to Pho haareasinn +4 naslang) We thought he was over. - The first part of the time we had very indeed, and could not obtain the necessary observation, and could notuse the beats with any safety in order to sketch any shore line. We were broken off on part of the survey which interrupted our observations ae Aboutthe time the good weather began, and we were not furnished with a patent log, which was very necessary to obtain the distances, We had to run links by the com- jon deck log. awe had a common deck log which was ery utes in obtaining our bases, Mr. Perry threw the log while I held a wake ‘The weather was 80 damp that we did not trust to a sand glass, | recollect pardoularly that Mr. y kept the notes of this expedi- tion, and was ordered by Lieut.

Mr. Pinkney did not know the form of a deck board, nor did I, and he required Mr. Perry te rule it and transfer the notes from his printed note ‘ook. lrecol- lect Mr. Perry considered unnecessary. I never said the regulations on board the Flying Fish. I had seen them on the (ier When Mr Wilkos himself was surveying in the Flying Fish, he never kept such a deck is notes were kept’ in a book like Mr. Perry’s, similar manner to that Mr. Perry kept them. _Q.—Was a deck board kept on board the schooner du: ring t ‘is survey? Who kept it, and wasit similar to this ene? A.—I recollect distinetly Mr. Perry sitting down in the cabin, and transferring his notes on to a ruled sheet of paren. I cannot recognise the paper; this is similar to one ept on the Porpoise. I recolleet Mr. Perry did not consi- der this necessary, but Mr. Pinckney ordered him to do it, and he didit. It was on cartridge paper. Q.—Have you never seen or read the surveying instruc- tions previous to this survey? A.—I had seen them on board the Porpoise, and had read them, and had a Ser: ‘ on notthe deck board and the note book similar in form, A.—There-was more in the deck board than in the note book. With regard to those surveying instructions, the more I read them the less | understood them. I think there ro more columns in the deck board than in the note Q—Could the boats have been sent inside the reef? A.—In the former partof the survey it was dangerous to launch the boats. I went inside inthe latter part gf the survey as did Mr. Colcovorepis. Mr. Perry went Out on one occasion and I Shoug! it he would have been swamped; there was great difficulty in hoisting the boat in without swamping it. Mr. Perry was also sent on anoth- er expedition to examine the mouth of a harbor, and he reported unfavorably of it—that he could not get in. ‘ whe kept the deck board after Mr. Perry was taken ric A.—There was very little to do then; we had connected our work with that of Mr. Case, who came on board, I think, the very day that Perry was taken sick, with Mr. Reynolds; I think they shoved some of their objects ‘on shore, by which it appeared we had worked up to them before Mr. Perry was taken sick, and we made a triangu- lation. There was no deck board kept then. Correct notes were kept in a printed note book. Q.—At what peint on the chart shown you was Mr. ken sick, —I thi we were on the northwest side when Mr. Perry was taken sick? Q.— Was it on the south side, or not? hi vas not on the south side, lamcertain. Iam jin whether we had passed the Island of Manona or not. “4 Q—Did Lieut. Perry assist in the survey to the point you have tioned? A.—He assisted till he was taken sick, but I am doubtful at what point that was. whether on the west or northwest side. Up tothe time of his being sick he had conducted the survey, -—What do you mean by conducting it? had the supervision of it; I received all my orders from him, and he received his from Lieut. Pinckney. He had had more experience than any efficer inthe survey at that time. In relation to the charges for making alterations, made without authority by Lieut. Pinkney, the witness was asked— — &.—What alterations were made in the schooner at Bay of Islands, and for what purpose ? .—She was caulked on the spar deck, and the plane shear seam also ; she needed it very badly, for we had ex- pected her to founder once when we were down south.— he leaked so badly we had to rent the pumps going. all that time. The cleets for belaying the rigging had all been torn off down south and were replaced : the saddle of the tain boom of the mainmast had settled down and was cleeted up, and a few serving mallets were made to repair tne damage done to the rigging, Out of a couple of light spars we hadon board we made topmasts to make signals with. The maintopmast was then on the fore, the whiff had been put at the foremast head, at Sydney, for the pur- pose of fixing this topmast to answer signals. The sails which had hitherto been kept abreast of the mainmast, in a small rooin where they were constantly subject to the wet,owing to the leaking of the deck, caused by the work- ing ofthe mainmast, ate my suggestion, Mr. Piakney or dered to be removed into one of the state rooms of the cabin aft, in order that they might be better protected. He was influenced in this decision by the fact of the ves- sels being too much by the head, as well as by his desire to preserve the public property The state rooms into which the sails were removed, had hitherto been our pantry since we had left Sydney ; it had been fitted there asa pantry, and the fixtures of this pantry were removed to the old'sail room, which was then used as a general store room and pantry for purser’s slops, &c. ‘The riggin, was taken down and refitted, overhauled and examined: which had never been done before, andthe main rigging shifted to the foremast, as the foremast was the most im- rtantone. These are as many of the repairs and so forth, which I remember ; there may have been other Cpa bere which I should think the bill would show. J recollect now all our gaffs had been injured down south; two of them were repaired,and for the third a new one was made. Thearmorer of the Peacock, whom we found on shore, did some necessary work, which the vessel required. Q. Did any of these ‘alterations take ee after your mainmast been lifted alongside the Vincennes? A.—There were nome commenced ; those in progress were sey sii Rellonaiaie Q—lIs a foretopmast necessary in a pi on you not take it down when in charge, as unnecessary ? A.—It was never taken down while I was on board, and {thought it indispensable for answering signals. 1 don’t think we could have got on at the Fejee Islands without it was nothing but a signal staff, perhaps about twelve feet long. We had no sail made for it. It was necessary for a man on the foremast to have it tohold on by, I have sat for hours holding on by it, and could not have done so without it. Q—Did you not make a requisition for a sail for the foretopmast when in command ? ‘A.—I don’t think I did. 1 think I applied for a yard for gaff topsall which I had on board. I should have been very careful had I carried a gaff topsail, if I had had it. 1 do tot wish to imply that I did not make such a requisi- tlen, but I don’t recollect it. I have copies of allthe re- quisitions | ever made for the schooner. With respect to tha non-performance of orders in not Keeping a fulil and complete journal, the witness knew nothing, except from hearsay. With relation to the scandalous conduct in destroying the journal he had kept, the wi knew nothing. Tho next charge is for cruelty, and illegally punishing John Weaver, a seaman on board the schooner, between the 26th December and 10th March. He said, I don’t think such a thing ever happened. John Weaver was punished by Mr. May, by order of Lient. Pinkney, and if hehad been improperly punished I should have heard of it. So {ar from being cruel, I have known Mr. Pinkney have a sick man in his own cabin. | was not present, but I know he was pene I thought the punishment was usual. On another time he was punished in my presence by Lt. Pinkney, He then received twelve lashes with the cats. ‘That is the only occasiya on which I saw him punished. If T mistake not, Mr. Pinkney was sick at this time. In answer to a few questions, he said : I don’t know any thing about John Weaver being tied to the rigging and flogged, then left exposed for some time, then flogged and exposed again, and then flogged again. “I wason board, but I never heard of such a thing at all. Q.—Do you know of his ever being seized up for any length of time ? A-—Ido not. If 1 had seen it I should have stopped it. Q. By accused.—What work was done on the schooner at Matavia Bay after you went on board ? A—It_was sup) by the officers on board that the steps of her masts were loose ; they were hoisted out and examined, and that belonging to the foremost found to be broken {rom the kelson. While along side the Peacock her Is bh as or on board of her for repairs, and when we hauled off wegsent the water casks on shore to be examined, and some to be repaired. This left the hold empty with the exception of some coal, the kentledge, and some barrels of provisions. She was thoroughly cleaned and scrubbed out to her Kelson, the kentledge in the body of the vessel being moved for that pnrpose. The hold had been partly or in whole whi hed, 1 am not certain whether it had been finished, w it was discovered that her kelson was broken from the keel from the timbers. All the work was then stopped, that is, putting her to rights, the «arpenters removed every thingon board again, and we proceeded to Papeite on the evening of the 231 September, or thereabouts, for the purpose of heaving down and repairing the kelson, which it was necessary to volt through the keel. Q—Was the mainmast of the Flying Fish suspected to be sprung atthe time Lt. Wilkes was on board on the 234 Sept.! soi No; it was pointed out to ma by one of the crew the following day, and I reported it to Mr. Pinkney. Q.—Was the hold of the vessel clean or filthy at Papeite? A.—It was perfectly clean, with the exception of the run, which had not been at thattioe. Tt was a very large space filled up with kentledge. The hold had been whitewashed just before. Q.—Could Lieut. Wilkes have seen the hol of the yr- ing Fish at the time he was on board on the 231 Sept. -—No, sir; Twas superintending the hoisting of a large cask up the main hateh, whieh I i off to receive Lieut. Wilkes when he on board. I then went back, and Lieut. Wilkes went aft with Mr. Pinkney. The cask had to be worked up with he es, and wesin the hatch the whole time that Lieut. Wilkes wason board. The spar deck was at that time in the nands of the caulkers. Q.—-How long was the cask Jin the hatch ? ‘A—1was engaged at it all the time Lieut. Wilkes was rq What wasthe dificalty in getting the cask up the ? hatch ‘A.— It had to be worked up cattycornered. Were any sailscondemned on board the Flying Fish at Papelte? .—-Notto my knowledge. We had left all our sails on the Peacock, except the bending set, and one of thom w anew mainsail, which I think came off the Vincennes. Q—Were any spars got at the Bay of Islands, besides the topmast ? A.—We did not procure a topmast, we had that on board. ‘There w: panker boom of an old eondemned whale ship purchased to make a gait for the schooner. Q.—Was the accused cruel in inflicting punishments, or in his conduet to his man ? A.— On the contrary, I have known him to give up his state room or share it with a sick man, and have the crew in the cabin when the other parts of the vessel were un- comfortable. Q—Ry Lieut. Wiexrs—How did you know that the mast had notj been reported sprang to Lieut. Wilkes at the time you mentioned ? it had not been found sprang.

It was constructed by Henry Erben, the orgam build- er of this city, whose reputation and works extend throughout all our populous towns. The front of this magnificent instrument is finished in black wal- nut, to correspond with other parts of the church, the appearance of which would be materially im- proved, however, by reducing the height of the railing round the enclosure that encompasees the choir. While present, “ Ged save the King,” with variations, was elegantly played by Mr. Alpers, and “Hail Columbia,” by Mr. Harrison. Mr. Timms also gave some specimens of his execution, which combined, presented the powers of the noble in- strument to the audience, which appeared highly gratified. The full notesof the trumpet and dulcet tones of the flute were remarked as quite superior. The peculiarities of this instrument are, that the swell runs the whole compass of the keys. The large pedal stop is 16 feet in heighth, with 37 pipes, It also has two sets of finger keys, one set of pedal keys, and three composition pedals, with two cou- plers, one of which connects the greateorgan and swell, and one tke octaves. Another connects the pedal and great organ, and a fourth the pedal and swell. The great organ contains the following stops:— The open Diay with “Stop “German Flute, t Ell sath The small one contains The open Diapason, with. © Sto) lo, “ Dulciana, The cost of the instrument is $3,500. The seat of the organist, with the keys and stops, are thrown forward from the instrument in such a manner as to allow him to sit upright instead of the customary leaning position, which 1s a valuable im- provement in its construction. The performance of the organ was such as gave full satisfaction to all who witnessed it.
