My impression is—I do Know those marines'were sent to the fort—at that time some ef the guard were on shore on liber- ty, and therefore when they were confined forward in the brig there was not a strict guard kept over them, as there would have been if all the guard had been on board.

Q.—How long was the squadron at Callao, what duty was going forward, and was it such as to con- stantly occupy the time of the officers and crew? .— We arrived at Callao,by the log, on June20th, and sailedJuly 13th,and remained there twenty-three days. The duty going on was preparing the ship for a long eruize, and the men and officers were em- ployed accordingly. The officers were so arranged that while a portion of them was employed on board ship, the others were employed at the island of San e making magnetic and meteorological ob- measuring the beighth of the island by and boats were dredging for shells. As to going ashore, we were allowed two days to go to Lima. On July the 2d we went over to Callao—we had been lying at San Lorenzo before this time— when as many were allowed to go on shore ascould be spared. speak now of sea officers, I don’t know so much of medica! officers.

I thought there was; my orders were to that effect. Q.—Could a Court Martial have been convened there without great delay, and a serious injury to the public service ? A.—There would have been a delay, but I don’t know about the public service. ; Q.—Was the squadron, while at Sydney, being constantly prepared for the Antractic cruize of De- cembe' Thor Q.—Did the fitting out, during the delay at Syd- ney, require the constant attention of the officers and meu?

Of the principal Court of Common Pleas. Before Judge Ulshoefler. |.—Charles Henson vs. Henry D. Loomis, '. Ayres and Samuel Foster.—The firm of Newman & Foster, livery stable keepers, corner Broome and Mercer streets, was dissolved in June, 1841. Newman took the stock and stand, bindin: himself to pay the debts of the establishment, an giving Foster four notes of $50 each, secured by a mortgage onthe horses, cabs, &c., for his share of the concern. In March last, Foster and Ayres (two of the defendants) ona balance due the former on the ete, oy and a demand against the firm held by the other, got out writs against Newman, which were served by Mr. Loomis, and three cabs, two horses, and some harness, taken to the bazaar, and sold. The plaintiff (who was coachman to Mr. Hamilton Wilkes) claims to have bought the pro- perty of Newman, and exhibited a bill of sale to that effect for $500. He brings the present action of trover to recover the value of the stock levied upo! and the question now is, was the sale to him hoe fide, or merely a cover onthe part of Newman to defraud his creditors. Henson claims, in addition, tohave tendered tne amount due on the mortgage, but that it was refused. It appeared in evidence, that Newman requested several persons during the sale not to bid, as the property belonged to him. The Court charged that the question of fraud must be decided by the jury on the testimony that had been presented. In relation to a tender ona mort- age, it was not sufficient that a party represented Eimaait ashaving the money, he must really produce it in full, with interest, make a tender of it, and be able to present evidence that such had been refused, before he could render the mortgage invalid. The case was conducted with much earnestness by counsel, and a capital jury was on, who, after a few minutes absence, rendered a verdict for defendants. For plaintiff, Messrs. WH. Ball and F. A. Coe. For defendants, Mr. Thomas Warner. Before Judge Ingraham. Seth Perry, Thos. R nsom, and others (owners of ship Gov. Cass) vs. Johnson § Lowden.—The defendants established a regular line of packets be- tween Savamnah and New York, and, ‘although they owned no vessels themselves, made a fine business of it by inducing those who did to put their vessels in the line. They conducted their business well, became popular among the merchants, and their ships commanded a much higher price for freight and passengers than transient vessels obtained. In 1836 they agreed with plaintiffs to put their vessel on the line, and receive a certain per centage on the freight, passengers, &c. After going 2 or 3 trips, the Gov. Cass arrived at New York in August, 1837, when Mr. Johnson requested that the ship might be kept in readiness for an immediate start, as she would probably be the next in turn. According! the sails were kept bent,the err w continued on bond, and every thing done agreeably to order. After ly- ing here thirty or forty daya, however, the defend- ants substituted the ship Newark, and threw the rv. Cass out of the line, after which she was com- pelled to go as a transient vessel, receiving only $3900 tor the same freight that $1300 would have been paid for, had she remained asa packet, Action ‘was brought to recover compensation for expences incurred while lying here, and a verdict was ren dered in favor of plaintiffs. An appeal was made to the Supreme Court, who sent the case back for a new trial, which resulted as before. Another ap- peal was had, and the case again sent back. Now the issue. The Jury sustained the former decisions, giving a verdict in favor of plaintiffs for 500. For Halinifiey Mr!’ OlisHles Sherwood. For de- fendants, Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bidwell.

A more unprofitable, absurd, mis- ehievous body of men never before was sent upon any couutry as @ punishment for its sins and folly. The celebrated Long Parliament in England can- not compete with the hard-cider Congress in folly, imbeeility, and intrigue. They commenced a war upon the President from the jump, and they have closed the past year and a half of their existence in utter defeat, and disruption. They have failed in all their leading measures, and abandoned every principle of their faith. In attempting to “head off” | Captain Tyler, they have only headed {off them- | themselves, After solemnly pronouncing the Presi- dent an imbecile, a weak man, a traitor, a fool, they have swallowed their own words by wholesale, and have been routed, horse, foot, and dragoons. We have a permanent peace with England, placed on the basis of the new treaty—and a new tariff, without the distribution, in spite of all their efforts by intrigue to defeat them. Such another Congress never before met in Wash- ington, and such another we will not see in many a day to come. Presipentiat. Movements, &c.—We learn that Captain Tyler will not visit the north this season. He goes to Virginia on special business. But if the old Captain cannot be with us, the young Captain, Robert Tyler, will be here in a couple of weeks, to look after the odds and ends in these parts. We certainly want one of the Captains here, for #e have six or seven “‘ third parties” here, and we want to know which is the true one—which has the righthand. First, there is the * Patriots,” headed by Col. A. Hamilton and Peter Thompson ; second, the ‘Old Democracy,” or old clo’ party, headed by Noah, Redwood Fisher and?Beach; third, the “Young Democracy,” headed by * Mike Walsh; fourth, ‘the old Indian Contract party,” headed by Daniel Jackson ; fifth, the “Hickory Democratic Republican Tyler party,” headed by Tom Teale and Bill Brown. There are besides several others in the bud, ready to burst in a few days. Whichis which ? Trovun.e in THE Democracy.—The ‘‘young de- mocracy” is producing a prodigious fermentation in this city, in favor of John C. Calhoun. We are told that Mr. Bouck, the candidate for Governor, is in favor of the Carolinian—also that nine out of the thirteen delegates to the Syracuse Convention are of the same way of thinking. The “* ald democracy, the friends of Mr Van Buren, are inaterrivle stew. At the fall elections, resolutions in favor of Calhoun will be passed in every ward in the city by the “ young democracy”’—and probably a great agitation be knocked up in Tammany Hall. The ‘‘ young democracy” say—‘‘ we do not want the Bourbons restored.” ‘* Down with all the old bankers and old defaulters.” ‘ No restoration of the old rogues to office.” We will have whirlwind times pretty soon. If things go as they seem, we shall have to turn to and support poor Van out of pure charity. Tue Leais.ature.—Our legislators in this State appear to be imitating Congress. They have done nothing yet, and we fear that they will not do any thing but talk. The Senate meet from day to day, talk about the Erie Railroad, and adjourn. The Assemblymen talk for hours about apportioning the State, but do nothing. They now propose to unite Tioga with Broome and Chenango, in order to de feat Mr. John C. Clarke. And Mr. Stetson has moved to amend the report of the Select Committee so that the following districts should be thus com- posed :— 14. Washington and Saratoga. 18. Essex, Warren and Clinton. 17. St. Lawrence and Franklin. But as yet nothing definite has been accom- plished. Tuearricars.—The fall season in theatricals is now begun. The Park-~ the Chatham — the Bowery are all under way—and in a few days the Olympic will also be open. Things theatrical are in a very curious condition, indeed. On Monday the Park opened, under the new regime, a reduction of prices equal to an average of 30 per cent from the rates of the last halt century. Whata revolution! In fact every thing is coming down, prices, pride, salaries, and salads. The proprietors of the small daily press first made the movement, and all must submit to a better system, more enterprise—low rates, and economical habits. On the first night the Park had $400 and cleared $150—the second night much the same. If this holds out, the change will be successful. There is yet much more expenditure that might be re- trenched—only print your advertisements in two or three papers of the largest circulation. The money paid to the Wall street prints is so much threwn away. This saving would be equal to $500 a sea- son. The success of the Park at reduced prices, and great novelty, will knock up the Olympic as the Chatham has done the Bowery. On Monday night the Bowery had $24 124 precisely, while the Chat- ham was crowded to suffocation. What a contrast this presents! The Park has a capital company— besides expecting several stars from Europe. We are certain that, in the course of the season, several superior artists will be out, besides a danseuse ; but whether it will be Cerito, Duvernay, or Taglioni, we are not authorized to say. There are $50,000 ready, in the next ten years, for any fine danscuse that may come. Fanny Elssler took $80,000—but that was the cream. Granp Ptox Niex at Tae Navy Yarp.—Commo- dore Perry gave a grand pick nick yesterday after- noon at the Navy Yard. The Hon. John Barney. of Baltimore, His Excellency Governor Davis, of Coney Island, and a number of distinguished Naval officers and strangers were present.

ReMovats at tie Custom House.—Yesterday Collector Curtisremoved thirteen night watchmen. and several day officers. ‘They were the most noi- sy of the ultras, Clay’or Van Buren.

This will bea great occasion. It has asort of na- tional character. Lord Ashburton, representing the sovereign of Great Britain, will be most happy to shake hands and wish good luck and a long and prosperous reign to the sovereigns of the “ great re- public.” It isa sort of a meeting between the father and son—between the mother and the daughter—be- tween honest old John Bull and the brawny-armed, long-legged Jonathan, his eldest son, who with the bravery, blood and indomitable perseverance of the old chip, adds to it all the freshness, life, gaiety, and recklessness of a young chip who has just got through sowing his wild oats. It will be the great- est scene that ever the sun shone down upon from his eternal mansions in the sky. So, ‘don’t burst with delight, but go and do the thing with propriety and decorum. His Lordship will alse hold a private levée at the Astor House to-morrow, between the hours of eleven and one o'clock, principally to see hia old personal friends, and perchance the ladies.

The bill was gone through with in committee of the whole, and reported to the House ; and the ques- tion comes up to-morrow on ordering it to a third reading. It has been materially amended in com- mittee of the whole, and is now much improved. A good deal of debate ensued on the districting of the northern tier ofteounties, which was confined prin- cipally to the members from: that section. The bill, as reported by the committee of eight, recommend- ed the following arrangement :—Washington and Essex—Saratoga, Fulton and Warren—Montgo- mery, Schenectady and Schoharie—Herkimer, Hamilton, Franklin and Clinton—St. Lawrence and Lewis. As amended by the committee of the whole, these counties are now arranged as follows: —Washington and Saratoga— Warren, Essex and Clinton—St. Lawrence and Franklin—Herkimer, Lewis, Hamilton and Fulton—Montgomery, Sche- nectady and Schoharie. A very spicy, piquant, and personal debate sprung up inthe course of the discussion between Mr. 0’- Sullivan, and Mr. D. S. Wright of Washington. In the Senate to-day, the concurrent resolution of the Senate to open the business of the session to the consideration of a bill to repeal the exemption law, was again taken up,‘and, on motion of Mr. Ruaer, laid on the table, 14 to 11. Another resolution from the Assembly, for opening the business of the ses- sion to the introduction of a bill to correct a clerical error in a law passed at the last session, relative to proceedings in Chancery, was concurred in. An at- tempt was made to induce the Senate to consider some matters relative to the New York and Erie Railroad, but was not succeseful. Lord Ashburton and suite, and Lord John Hay, arrived in this city this evening from Boston, an took lodgings at Congress Hall. We have now the strangest kind of weather—al- ternate heavy showers and Se scorching sun- shine throughout the day, and damp heavy fogs in the morning. Very heal thy all this, indeed. ‘ave Uxciscar. Tue Navat Court Martiat.—The developments on this trial yesterday are getting richer and richer. We have had trials for bad temper—turning up boxes—giving away a bowie knife—buying a few shells—but the loss of the Peacock, with $200,000 of specie on board, is a mere bagatelle, and does not merit an investigation. ‘“owever,” as Phil- lip Hamilton says “what can you expect from such a paper as the Herald but abuse ?” Oh! rare!

He has just brought out a low bell crowned hat—a new shape —which is said to be a beauty. Some of the hatters have brought out high crowns—but Bloomer says that low crowns will carry;the day among the beau monde. We will wait and see.

The principal part of the audience were ladies, most of them young and exceedingly beautiful in face and figure. The debate com- menced at a quarter past 7, and ended at a quarter past 10. No one spoke but the above two. Mr, Baenexor rose and said :—It is by the request of Gen, Bennett that I appear here, to take part in exposing the impostures of the Mormens—that dangerous and mis- erable imposition—as dangerous as it possibly can be to the country and the nment. The general opinion is that Mormonism is a humbug, but that it is so {rivilous that noone will be deceived by it, except a few weak- minded persons; and that it will soon pass away. If this were all it might be left to the clergy to dispose of. But if we show that Mormonism is bloody and trea- sonous against the United States Government—a species of American Mahot that seeks to overthrow the overnment ofthe country and the destruction of all who do not embrace it, vy the most diabolical means in the world—if we show this, it is worth the serious attention of all. It has no peral- lel in the annals of for its diabolicel nature. Whenevera member of their church leaves them they go on and slander him orher in the most awful manner.— They did so with Gen. Bennett—before he left them he tem. and Gods, of which Joe they want tohave him assessi- wantto exterminate all was a sort of God—he was oneof the Trinity so far he was a God—one of the three Smith wasone. And nated and exterm that do not embrac Mormo ; and now try to make him a devil incarnate. Here is a Mormon Book called the “Doctrines ard Covenants of the Mormons,” compiled Rigdon and others, professing to "And the Mormons by Joe Smith, Sydney be full of revel yas direct from God. believe that hereafter they shall be equal to God and create worlds. This book contains an injunction not to Jet bo abroad to the roe - = its secrets. - read from 132, paragraph 7.)

(He also read from 142, paragraph 8, and page 237, about get- ting land in the West by blood, and about fortifymg the city of the Mormons, and raising soldiers even in the time of the peace. also showed Parley B. Pratt's “Voice of Warning,” and read from page 185 and 198, re- lative to the building up of a New Jucusslon in the West- ern part of this country, and the whole of the Indians becoming Mormons, and every body else to be destroyed by the Indians after they have turned Mormons. He also read the proceedings of the Mormons being ex| from Jackson county, an Missouri, in 1883, because they threat- ened to cut off all the rest of the people of Jackson county, and take their lands and goods under the direction of God. He also read from a United States document, No. 199, of the 26th Congress, 2d session, relative to the indictment and trialof Joe Smith in Missouri, for treason, arson, burgla- ry, &c.; and from Pratt’s pamphlet, page 37, as to how Joe Smith got his guards drunk, aud from Missouri to Illinois.) He went on:—Now they are about to be rout- ed from Illinois, unless they give up Joe Smith, who sent Rockwell up to assassinate ; their Zion is not in [I- linois, but their murderers are there, and unless they give them up, they will be cooped up in Nauvoo, and hung al- together. This United States document contains evidence enough to suspend forty Joe Smiths between Heaven and Earth, like Mahomet’s coffin, if the law was ited to take its course. I now have the a of to you General Bennett, Major Legion. On this Gen. Bennett rose, smiling, and bowed to the audience, particularly to the ladies, amon; whom there was a great sensation, and shuffling o| feet, and changing of position, to get a sight of one of the Mormon lions. Gex. Bennett said,—I discover, in the “Morning He- rald” of this day, a military order issued from Nauveo to General James Ane Rennott, and General James Gordon Bennett, requi ag them to appear forthwith at Nauvoo, and take part in the coming struggle. (Applause and oer wughter) (Here he reek the order which we ublished yesterday.) To thisorder General James Gor- lon Bennett says, in his editorial remarks, with a good deal of shrewdness, and inimitable tact ; “With regard to going out to Nauvoo immediately, we shall state our views shortly. In the meantime, we shall see, and hear, and re- port what reasons General John C. Bennett can advance to-night in his discourse, that may prevent us from stand. ing by Joe Smith, until, as he says, blood shall flow.” Thus it appears that the learned and talented aid de cam, is prepared to stand by Joe Smith until blood shall flow, but no longer, and there heisright; because he has too much sense to aid and abet treason followed up by mur- der. But General James Gordon Bennett says that he shall wait and see what we have ito say on this subject. We have no advice to give that gentleman, and he has talent enough to guide him without our assistance. (Great applause.) But I would advise General James Gordon Bennett and General James Arlington Bennett to be most ssonee) cautious how they go out to Nauvoo and ne- glect th ‘honorable calling to do battle for that arch im- poster, the Mahomet of modern times! for, although they may itd coe talent and skill to lead troops (and the fame description of talent that enables & man muceessfully juct a new: *, will, w!

Holiness has issued a bull against me. But re I left him the Mormon Pontift had @ special revelation from the Lord that Heaven was well pleased with me. Whereas, if you were to believe Joe now, he knew all along that I was the rascal and most consummate scoundrel on . The Mormen creed is this ; itisaTrinity. Joe Smith represents God. Hiram Smith is the Ist councillor and represents Jesus Christ ; and amy Pom apes is the 2d councillor and re- presents the Holy ost ; and when Sydney Rigdon was sick, I was the Hely Ghost pro tem., ag tee hp oI was such a great rascal.

Washington. (Correspondence of the Herald.} Wasurneton, Monday, 3 P. M. Day of Adjournment Fired — Tariff Bil Passed—Treasury Notes—Another Veto in Anticipation, The agony is over—the tariff bill has passed both Houses, and only requires the signature of the President to become the supreme law of the land. No doubt is entertained about the sanction of the Executive, and we shall have a tariff to which a majority of beth Houses are opposed—which is against the better judgment of a majority of the people, and to which the President will assent with reat reluctance. But tothe exigencies of the coun- try every thing and every body must yield some- thing of prejudice, and sentiment, and feeling. A motion in the House to lay the bill on the table, was rejected by a vote of 121 to 65. The amend- ments of the Senate were then concurred in by ac- clamation. Wednesday at 2 o’clock is fixed upon as the time of adjournment, and every thing is bustle and confu- sion. The Senate have passed the bill repealing the re- strictive clause in the distribution law by a vote of 28 to 19, and the election law by nearly the same vote. The first will be vetoed asa matter of course; the second, it is ta be hoped, he will put in his pocket. The Treasury note bill has just passed the House by a small majority. The Intelligencer of this morning contains the law in an official form, which changes the mode of fur- nishing stationery, printing, twine, &c., for the de- pow here, and the postoffices and custom- uses throughout the country. All these articles are to be furnished by contract, and by the lowest bidder. The law is distinct and explicit, and can- not be evaded, for the accounts and ore Bas being sent to the Treasury and Postoffice departments here, will be accessible and convenient to a Com- mittee of the House, and a violation of it would cer- tainly be followed by punishment. The saving to the Government will ultimately be considerable. but forthe present not much will be gained, for of many of the articles, postoffice blanks, mail b &c, there are enough on hand now to supply t dema*d during the Presidential term. City Intelligence, Tur Brownett. Guarps.—This body of citizen volunteers paraded yesterday for the first time, un- der the command of Captain W.H. Cornell. They turned out sixty-two muskets, and presented quite a soldierlike appearance for new recruits. They pro- ceeded to Harlem, on board the steambeat Napo- leon, chartered for that purpose, and riddled a target at seventy yards, till it looked like a sieve on clese inspection. The three silver cups, beautifully orna- mented and chased, which were ‘presented to the company by the Hon. Eli Moere, were won by Den- nis M’Mahon, who took the first prize; John Whit- taker ‘the second; and a young man named Ho- neywell, the third. They were proffered to these sharp shooters by Mr. Moore, who was selected from among the judges for that purpose.

The Senate continued in Executive Session up to a late hour this evening. Mr. Claiborne, formerly a member of Congress from Mississippi, was unanimously con- firmed as one of the Commissioners under a treaty with the Choctaw Indians. Messrs.

Mr. Epitror— As you will be informed, the long agony is over. The Tariff Bill has passed, and is now awaiting the immortal signature of Captain Tyler, Nothing could have preduced greater joy. Every counte- nance beams with gladness. The mechanic and laborer who have been thrown out of employ, and were next to the contemplation of starvation, can now see through the fog that so long obstructed their hopes, and at the vista’s terminus behold the fruits of industry again ripening, whilst the buds of promise hang upon every branch and shrub. We havea report here that the bill has been signed. The temperance meeting last evening was an overflowing one. The church was crewded from top tobottom.

The City and County Conterence yesterday, in ‘opposition to the arrogant pretentions set up by the medical profession, nominated as the Democratic candidate for Coroner, Mr. Francis Brelsford, a plain but intelligent shoemaker. He will doubtless be elected, and will no doubt fulfil the duties of his office more correctly, efficiently, and satisfactorily, than they would be if entrusted to nine out of ten of the gentlemen soliciting it on the simple ground that they hold a ‘parchment privilege to kill.” A knowledge of the cause of the death of the many subjects that come under the notice of the Coroner, is a matter of small consideration in comparison with the other and multifarious duties of his office. For the last three years the office has been in the hands of a man of medical professions, and the ex- perience of those three years has not tended to confirm the people of the propriety of sanctioning the policy of proscnbing every other class of so- ciety from the office, cont it entirely to doctors without practice—for those who have prac- tice will not accept of it. Augustus A. Tweeston and John H. Pollock, were yesterday afternoon committed by Mayor Scott, the former in default of $2000, and the latter in default of $3000 bail, to answer at the next term of the General Sessions, for uttering, pubsishing, and passing forged checks on the Farmers’ and Me- chanics’ » to the amount of $179 35 cents. The checks were drawn in the name of a mercan- tile house of this city, and two of them were paid by the Bank. When, however, a check for $79 35- was presented on last Friday, bya young man in: Tweeston’s employ, the forgery was discovered, the young man arrested and brought before the Mayor, where he gave the name of his employer, a tobac-~ conist on the wharf. This man stated he had re- ceived the check in payment for alot of tobacco he had sold, and he obtained a ment in order, as he said, to find the individual whom he had received it, Subsequently, however, he confessed that he knew of the forgery, in fact thathe and Pol- lock had joined in its commission—Pollock writi out the check and he passing it offasgenuine.
