Darins th few weeks,the public have been in- (ous traasaerinns which have taken relatiow to Mr. Tarobull, formerly the re in ynsul at Havana, and recently arrested and sent of the island. It appears that Mr Tarabal! is acting under the instruc ions, and is an ageat of the abolitionists of Great Britain By ‘heir influence with the British government he was fed the Consul at Havana, for the purpose of oa p sbling him ‘he better to carry out the project ot The large East India propri¢iors in’ Eogland, by whose influence slavery was abolished in the British Wes? Indies,in orderto the British abolitionists in Cuba. ble them to have a monopoly of colonial productions io the Huropean markets, have been looking with great jealousy on the fertility, power, and position of the Island of Cuba. In order to bring about some pretence for the British guvern- ment to interfere, all the recent negocia ions about the suppression of the slave trade were instituted— the appointment of Mr. Turrbull to the Con- sulate at Havana procured-—and the various steps taken that distinguished that gentleman in the fulfilment of his singular mission. The real project of the British Government has been discovered at last in Havana—and we are in- forme! their intentions are to get possession of Cuba—make Havana their western Gibraltar to over- awe the Gulf of Mexico—and to abolish s'avery in the Island of Cubs, as ithas been in the British West Indies—and thus to menace the Southern United States, Texas, and all those communities whose domestic ins itutions are like those of Cuba, and which create such competition in the markets of Europe, in all articles of colonial produce From the character of our private intelligence from Havana, we learn that a great and intense ex- nent—silentand quiet, but the more intense for its silence—oervades all the planters, merchants, and intelligent proprietors of that charming island —and that, apprehending a transfer may be made to England of the sovereignty of the island, or at least the possession of Havana given up through the necessities or intrigues of the Spanish govern- ment at Madrid—apprehending all these desiens, and jealous of the recent conduct of the British go- verament, and their own government, under that influence, they ars beginning to entertain thoughts of entire revolution and final separation from the Spanish connection, at no very distantday. The conduct of the British authorities, the weakness of their own government at Madrid—the intrigues of the British abolitionists in Cuba—all concur in causing this deep and intense excitement to increase throaghoat the island—and particularly in the city of Havana, which is the strongest fortress in this hemisphere, and which, in possession of the British, would cause, by proximity to their abolition doc- trines, one of the most fearful issues that ever took place in the Southern States. This feeling of discontent in Cuba has been heightened by the movements of the abolitionists in England, and the low prices of colonial produce of late years. The feeling is gradually increasing, and where it will end no one can yettell. Cuba is one of the most fertile, healthy, beautiful, rich and lovely islands on the face of the earth. It isa per- fect paradise. [ts population is about 1,000,000 or more, but it could support, in comparative luxury, a population of 10,000,000. Its wealth is, however, dependent on slave labor, and if that system were destroyed, it would soon run wild as it was in for- These foreign att-mpts to interfere with its p-entiae institntions are causing great discontent; and the prospect of following the example of the United States, of Texas, of all Spanish South Ame- rica, is getting stronger and stronger every day. Such is the :mount of our information from Ha vana, and it will cane us to look with deep inte- rest on every subsequent arrival from that island. ¢ mer ges. Prestpevt-maxive —Now, that all the elections are over for th s year, the politicians are very busy making preparations to bring forward their various candidates. The following is a list of the nagsin the field :— Dewronats. Wrias. Asouition. M. Van Bureu, Henry Clay, J. G. Birney. Winfield Scott. John ©. Calhoun, @ Lewis Cass, Col Johnson, These, we believe, comprise the principal candi- dates for the Presidency—zhe horses put up for the purse“of $25,000 for.four years. The preparations at present have only reference to the nominations tobe made in the fall or winter of 1843. The whigs will hold a National Convention at Baltimore—so will the democrats. The friends of Van Buren are mov- ing in Philadelptia—the friends of Cass have just commenced in Harrisburgh—the friends of all the others are equally busy. The ensuing session of Congress will also be devoted to the same business. Whose chance is best for a nomination or election is difficult tosay. The recent elections have re- duced all to a level. Drvtston oF THE Spor.s.—We learn that there are already over two thousund applicants running up and down throughout the State, who are busily en- gaged in preparing petitions for the various offices that are in the gift of the new Governor. Of these two thousand, probably fifteen hundred, of them re- side in this city. The whole amonnt of patronage in the gift of Governor Bouck, including the various pickings and stealings, is from $200,000 to $300.000 a year; and varies according to the tact, and skill, and thieving propensities, of those who get the of- fices The excitement on the subject increases in- tensely as the day of distribution draws nearer. For the office of beef inspector alone there are already over one hundred and fifty applicants, All the haunts of the small beer politicians are filled nightly, with eager and noisy claimants for the spoils and ateal- ings of office—many of them as ravenous as wolves. Nothing is done, by a large class of these noisy brawlers, but going round getting up petitions to be signed, forming small contemptible cliques, with the view to influence the Governor in the distribution of the offices in his gift, and telling lies and cirenla- ting slanders against each other. We are preparing a list of these worthies, with their claims and qual- ities, which we shall publish ina few days Rattroaps.—The two last licks in the long chain of railroads and steam travelling are just finished — The road from Portsmouth to Portland, Maine, was opened on Monday last, and the link trom the Potomac to Fredericksbargh on the same day.

Isee by the Herald of this morning that the re- port states that Charles Riley, Jacob Somerndyke, ph Murphy end Hugh Colwell entered a plea of uilty on Wednesday. Such was not the case, as the context of the report that followed plainly made evideat. They plead not gulty, and Iso wro e it, 1 think I closed my letter last evening at tne termination of the direct examination of Jus Gol He was the Cross-examined by Wm. M. Pricr—T do not re- member seeing Sullivan a y time during the fight ioside th fighting or centre rit always when a man fell, the combatants were tiken to their own corners ; 1 do not remember whether [asked Salli- vin if he would protect me; T bad a conversation with Sullivan at Bedford. Price—Did Sullivan state to you that you had called upon him to protect you Wirness—He claimed that he had said some- thing of the kind tome on the ground ; Ido not re- collect that he said so; 1 think he said to me at Bedford that he had offered to protect me Anargument here ensued, in which the Attorney General and Mr. Price took part, relative to the ad- missibility of evidence showing that Sullivan did not resist the authority of Justice Golden or defy himin sony manner, Wrevxess continued—Sullivan did not offer any resistunee, buthe did not disperse, nordid any of the multitude ; I donot think that allon the ground heard what I said; there must have been « hundred or more who heard me give an order to disperse : Simeon Sanford did not go away after 1 gave the order; he went out of the ring with me ; I think he staid abont the ring and saw the fight —tnere were a number of citizens of Westchester who were present —uand some of them refused to go with me tothe steamboat ; there were a great many spectators on the ground, mere lookers on—that is all 1 can say about it; I do not recollect of seeing Sullivan leave the outside ring during the fight; nor did I hear him sav any thing about sopping the fight. By Granam—It was about 15 minutes from the time J first saw McCleester until | went to the aque- duct; he was quite as near me as Su'livan; Idid nothear him speak at all; the first time that I saw him after the fight, was at the Tombs when he was coming to Fordham; nothing was siid by McClee- ster in my hearing during the whole fight ; I looked at him particularly, on account of his peculiar eye. _ Exoca E Camp, sworn for prosecution —[ reside in the city of New York, and am a Reporter by pro- fession; 1 was at the Prize Fight at Hastings, in Sep- tember lust; it took place on Tuesday, the 13th of September; I went there in the steamboat Gazelle; neither Lilly, Sullivan or McCleester, were on board of that boat ; there were not more than 40 or 50 per- sons on board of that boat; I arrived at the ground a little after 11 o'clock in the morning, and the tight commenced about 5 minutes before 1 o’clock ; the principals in the fight were Thomas McCoy’ and Christopher Lilly. The usual preparations being made the men entered the ring, shook hands and the fight commenced, —Lilly’s seconds were William Ford and John McCleester. The secondsof McCoy were James Sanford and Henry Shanfroid. Ido not know who were the bottle holders, as I have no know- ledge of any persons who were selected in that capa- city, ‘The centre ring contained the principals, se- conds, bottle holders, with the articles necessary tor their use ; the fight lasted two rs and forty-one minutues, at half minute time; “a round,” as it 1s technically termed, terminates when either of the combatant falls by a clinch or a blow; they then rest unti the time expires; persons are selected to keep time, and the person that I considered time keeper was Lewis Halsey; the men fought 119 rounds; McCoy fell sometimes from a blow and sometimes by a_clinch, or from both. I did not see Lilly’s knee raised when he threw McCoy, for the pr pose of forcing it into his belly; that would be consi- dered foul play; the party on top generally teil on his antagonist with as much force as possible; McCoy was much bruised and beaten towards the last of the fight, but_he was never behind time except in one or two of the last rounds of the fight. The left side ot his face and neck was very much bruised, and the left eye nearly closed, and the right partial. ly so; there were a few severe marks on his breast, and blood flowed sometimes from his nose during the fight, and sometimes from his mouth ; the bleeding was mostly from his nose; he commenced doing in the mean time? Wrrness—They were both in almost every instance and at the end of every round taken up by the seconds and carried ; towards the latter part of the fight McCoy came up slower than usual,but not until the 100th or the 107th round, as I think Q —When did McCoy get the blowson the ear? A —That was at the first of the fight; it seemed to me that it was a seratch, for 1 observed blood fic Ing from the ear, but I cannot tell whether it we: from the internal part of the error not. [heard a shout “ First bleod tor Lilly,” and then I saw the blood on Me Coy’s ear. Q —How leng did MeCoy lay in the ring before it was said he could not come to time ? A—About 10 or 15 minutes. He was not dead when he wa taken out of the square ; he died on the bank ; | vent towards it; there was a crowd ; I'then felt lus vulse ; L chought 1 perceived it; Idropped the arin, tried it again in a minute and feltnone. It could not have been over five minutes after he left the ring. 1 did not hear him speak atter he failed to come to his time. Q —Was the announcement made, that he did not come to time, immediately, A —No; full a tninute after the termination before it was known in the ring that he could not come to time. | dis- covered the eyes closed near the 100th round, and he fought in that condition until near the expira- tion. By the Covrer.—Do you recollect whether he spoke after being taken to the corner? A.—I did not hear him, 3 Q —What is the effect when one of the parties is thrown on the rope of the ring?’ A.—To scarily the body, but the round does not terminate until he falls to the ground; | never heard of any ropes being cutdaring the fight; during the time the fight was going on there was no person in the ring but the conds; the ordinary place for the bottle holder: outside the ring. ‘Sullivan was outside the rope when I saw him at the termination of the round; several persons who appeared to be bottie holders entered the ring, and remained there until “time” was called for the next round; during the progress of the round they sat in the rear of the corner to which they belonged; Sullivan in front of the crowd, most generally on, the outside, within eight or ten feet of the centre ring; he was about 30 feet from me ina direct line. Questioned by AvrorNEY GENERAL.—Please take a piece of paper, and mark with a pencil the relative. position of yourselt and Sullivan, and also a view’ of the ring. [This was made by witneas and handed to the counsel. ] Witness continued.—I heard Sullivan. speak du- ring the fight, but whether he spoke to Lilly or not, Teannot say; I think there were two rings ou'side of the square Q.—You are one of the reporters of the Herald ? A—Iam, Q.—Have you the number of the paper containing your report ? A—I have. Q.—Won’t you be good enough to produce it? A—I ean, but itis at my lodgings. Q.—Can you upon reflection tell what Sullivan said, or did ‘he say any thing about the place to put in the blows, and what? A—I cannot swear now as to what he said ; I don’t recollect of his making use of any expression of that kind; I heard some one remark, ‘ He’s one of them,” but he did not address Lilly that ] am aware of: I think he made use of such a remark, but I cannot positively swear to it; it was said, I presume, to intimate that he was a smart man, and that he had struck a good blow; Ido not know whether the remark was made to Lilly, or the crowd about Sullivan ; I did not see him raise his hands at the time he spoke. Q—Did yas hear any thing said by any one about striking about the neck. [ bjected to by counsel for defence, as not relative to parties on trial, but aamitted by the Court.) Wrrness.—I heard a great maay remurks which were not made by defendants; Theard no remark about the neck being well. By Mr Granam.—Had the Attorney General not better, ascertain whether any remarks were really made’ Mr. Pricg.—-The Attorney General is so very smooth and agreeable, that there is hardly any such thing as resisting him. The Court decided that the question should be answered. Mr. Price.—The pnsoners are liable only for their own acts, and not those of others, and there- fore the Court will note our exception. Question by Arrorney GEnerat.—Did you hear any thing said there during the conflict as to any part of MceCoy’s body that had been previously in- jured requiring more blows, as it was healing up, or bleeding from the nose after the first twenty minutes of the fight; fifteen minutes elapsed before there were any visible marks of serious injury on either of the combatants; Lilly drew first blood, which I believe came from McCoy’s ear; the first severe blow that McCoy received was on_the nose; that started the blood; this was about half au hourfrom. the commencement of the fight; the bridge of Me- Coy’s nose was broken in the fight, and blood fol- lowed almost every blow that he received on it; the most severe blows that he received were on the left vide of the neck and tace; towards the middle of the fight the odds were in favor of MeCoy, as he app *ared to possess great endurance, although noi us sei -ntific as his opponent. The reverse soon took place, and after the 80th round I thought it was of little use for them to fight any longer; Lilly had re- ceived but few blows that could be perceived, but still [thought by McCoy’s endurance that he might ont last him; he could not parry the blows put in at his tace by Lilly, and strack out bad; but when he came to a clinch, McCoy would often throw him with main strength; this be did in the last round but three, I believe; it was this evidence of etrength in the early part of tre fight that made me think that he might outlast Lilly, if he eould only get in a few good blows; it was about the 100th round that I per. ceived his left and right eyes nearly closed; I do not know how his eyes were relieved; Isaw him open the lids of his left eye with his fingers; I saw the mark or cut under his right eye after the fizht was over; Ido not know whether it was cut with an instrumest or with a knife, or with the knuckles of afist. [ saw Sullivan for the first time coming down the hill, about half past 11 o’clock in the mor- ning, The Court here adjourned to 9o0’clock Thursday morning. Tuurspay Mornina, Nov. 24th, halt past 9 0’- clock.—The Court met pursuant to adjournment. Evocu E. Camp recalled by the Attorney Gene- rat—I saw Sullivan coming down the hill; it was about twelve o'clock; Ido not know who was with him; this hill is about three hundred feet from the ring; the aqueduct | should callit. I saw himeom- ing towards the ring; I don’t know that I can recol- lect any one who was with him; I think Isaw him next among the crowd on the south side of the fighting ring; I did not see either of the fighting men with him. Isaw Sallivan on Lilly’s corner, on the outside of the ring; I don’t know thatl saw hint do any thing but once, and that was to sprinkle some water on Lilly; that was about the middle of the fight, as T should suppose. During the principal part of the fight Sullivan was sitting among the crowd; I recoliect very often that Lilly came to the corner when he was not met by Sullivan; he sprink- led this water, I think, from a sponge, but perhaps my memory is not perfect; from the time the round terminated till the next round, my mind was occu- pied in taking notes; Ido not know what Sullivan did with the sponge, or where he took it from; I saw no pail of water; [saw some bottles, but do not kaow who took care of them: itis possible I might have heard Sullivan make some remark, but re: marks were mad» by hundreds; I heard some crosa conversation between Sail van and a man named Sprague, but unless he had spoke very loud, [could not from my position hear him. 1 don’t recollect seeing Sullivan acting but once; I saw Sallivan at no time ia the centre ring; he was mostly seated during the meeting of the combatants, on the south- erly side, not near the corner of the ring; ten or fif. teen feet from the corner; | saw Sullivan once or twice goto Lilly’s corner of the ring; I saw him there several times; I first saw McCleester on the northerly side of the ring; the ring was bounded on the east, west, north and south; Sullivan was on the south side ;_ McCoy’s corner was on the north- east, and Lilly’s on the south-west; the ring was tw nty-five feet square; I was about forty feet from Lilly's corner—(deseribes the position by a book) —I first saw MeCleester in the square ring. This must have been about half past 12 oy 1 o'clock; Lilly was with him; MeCleester was .ress- ed ina tigie shirt, breeches and stockings, with boots; he had no suspenders on him; I think he was fixing his dress when I first saw him; he was tying T think, one of the ribande of his breeches; he had no baton; Lilly was dressed similarly, but without any shirt; MeCleester continued in the square from the commencement to the end of the fight; when the round was finished, McCleester and Ford would take him to the corner of the ring, and pre- pare him for the cali of time on the next round His seconds would wipe him off with a spooge, and sometimes refresh him with water, The last round that Lilly fell was the 116th: that was by a wrectle ; he was taken up by his seconds; they both rabbed him down. I think I saw powdered rosim on Mc Coy’s corner: I noticed it there, for it was used in much profusion ; I did not notice any in Lilly’s cor- uer. I think the last time [ saw Sullivan at Lilly's comer was between the 80th and 90th rounds; Sul- livan’s place of residence was in the city of New York ; so was McCleester’s ; [do not know when taey left the city ; I think I'saw Kensett once du- ring the day; I'saw him about 1 o'clock on the ground; T understand he has kept an hotel in the city ot Baltimore ; [ have understood that he is au tvs racter in the pngilistic art; 1 saw Kensett be- ore [had taken my position ; I cannot tell who he vas with ; .\here were a number besides Sullivan «sisting in Lilly's corner of the ring,as also at Me- Coy*s corne Yao not think J saw Kensett after ? took my position ; my attention was engaged in my notes trequently till the men had taken their place in the ring; most generally water was used, only, when the champions came to the ring any thing of the kind ? [Objected to by defence, and exception taken.] A.—lI did. Q.—By whom was it made? |A.—By Wm. Ford. nick.—This course ot examination is now made manifest, as it is trying us for the acts of others not ontrial, It is impossible for the jury to get rid of the impression—that’s the hardship. Q.—Where was Ford? A.—Ue was on the in- side of the outer ring. I saw Sullivan and Ford no nearer together than Thave before spoken of—the former I saw at the square ring outside, and Ford on the inside. Q.—What were the declarations and general ery made by those generally attendant during the fight; the general tone, [ mean? Counsel for defence objected tothe question being answered, and an argument ensued, im which the Attorney General, and Messrs. Price and Graham, took part. The Court decided that the question oan be put, and the witness proceeded as fol- lows:— A.—Sullivan and MeCleester were there during the whole fight. Q.—What were the general declarations made on the ground during the fight? A.—There were a great many made, suchas “Go it Cris”—“Give it tohim, Tom.” These were the most commen ex- pressions, and made loud. Towards the latter parr of the fight there were cries from the Lilly side of the ring of “Take him away—(i. e. McCoy)—take himaway.” This was about the 80th round, and additional cries of ** He's ee enough,” from the same side ; and the cries of “take himaway,” and “‘there’s no use of fighting him any more,”*continued from that round until the end,at intervals. There was acry of “Foul;” the first ume I heard the cry of “Foul” was in the early part of the fight; it waa oc- casioned, as | understand, from a blow stru k by Lilly while in the act of falling. Iheard it once after- wards; this was when Lilly’s hands were over McCoy’sneck,and when the cry was made he let go and they both fell. Sullivan keeps, or did keep, a porter and lodging house in New York. Ido nol now that Sullivan has any other business. I donot know where Lilly was trained; I did not see Sulli- van the day of the fight in New York city; four or five days previous to the fight 1 saw’ him; I understood that. the fight was to come off some weeks before it took place; Sullivan never told me when or where the fight was to take place; he never told me he was going to see it. [ heard some one say during the fight, “aint Criss a portraitpainter?” I do not know who made the ex- pression; I presume it originated froin the appear: ance of McCoy’s face; his nose was bleeding, but ». not broke at this time; at the 18th round | h@ard Sullivan say “you called me a coward for falling, what do you cali that?” this was when McCoy fell to avoid the blow; Sullivan was among the crowd at the time; I did not hear any directions from Sullivan re! r ing McCoy on the old spot; [ heard others say it; I heard James Sanford say about the 119th round, that McCoy was not half licked yet; McCoy came up slower at the M4th round than before; I’ think Lilly said to him about this time ‘come to the scratch” or ‘meet me;” the first expressions that I heard after MeCoy could not “come to time” were “stand back,” “give him air,” atthe instant Lilly was declared the victor there was a shout of exclamation, which was pretty mach general on the part of Lilly’s friends; T know. of no betting on the result; I heard the remark of “toke away your man” made very often, but al- most always by Lilty’s seconds or his friends; I heard some one say “carry off your man;” I saw McCoy spit blood ot L lly three or four times daring the fig nt; itappeared to be blood and saliva mixed ether. he Herald’s reported copy of the fight between McCoy and Lilly was here handed to witness to look at; some portions of which were asked about. Counsel for defence objected to his using it, but the Court decided that he could look at it to refresh his memory. Wrexess continued—I think from about the 60th round blood flowed from MeCoy’s mouth when he fell; it exuded from the corners of his mouth when he fell, and sometimes trickled on to his breast; 1 donot know of any preparation at Lilly’s corner whereby he could lebeices his flesh; I saw some vottles there, but Tdo not know what was in them Cross-eramined by Mr. Grantam —I went to the fight to report the proceedings; there were three or four other reporters on the ground; we were not near each other, but seattered in different direc- tions ; it was generally known that this fight was to take place before it came off; it was made public by common rumor, and was also published in some of the papers; there were about two thousand peo- ple on the ground; the place of the fight was not publicly known until efter it came off; steamboats were advertised to goto the fight; a portion of the time after the rain, I observed a number of persons on the ground with coats off; it was nearly twelve o'clock when I came on the ground; the parties had not taken their places in the quare ring when | came on the ground; I took my. position about twenty minates before the fight; Idid not see Justice Golderon the ground ; for twenty minutes before the fight, T_ was in the position that I kept alter- wards; [did not know Jostice Golder t en; he must have approached the square ring on the oppo- site side from me; T heard ao order to disperse ; the nen Were about the same weight and size; Lilly the tallest, and a little the heaviest; I know no thing of their previous relations ; they shook hands in the equare ring: remarks passed between McCoy and Lilly during the fight; [heard MeCoy say “you have not Murphy to fight now;” MeCoy spoke EE a Men, eee By the Cover —What was the other combatants much more than Lilly ; his remarks were made in a bravado style, but not with much biggest | heard him express a determination to whip his man; I recollect his saying once he was not half licked ; this was about the 80th round ; he came up with readiness withia two or three of the last rounds ; I heard McCoy say “ nurse me, nurse me, towards the last of the fight; he came to time after- wards; I did not then hear himsay, “I will lick him yet ;” the principals walked forward themselves to the centre of the g, when the round com- menced. “i The Court here took a recess until 2 o’clock. 2 O'cLocx, P.M Cross-examination of E. EB. Game, continued.— Question by Granam —Do you remember that dur- he fight that they occasionally patted each otner the head? A.= T remember MeCoy patting Lil- ly on the head several times during the fight; this was when they were down together, and appeared to be in extraordinary good feeling for two person= in combat. ; Q.—Did MeCoy and Lilly fight on the same prin- ciple? A.—They fought differently ; McCoy fough in the old school -ty e; Lilly in the new ; in the first, blows are generally struck at the body and breast ; the new is at the face. i } Q —Which of these systems, supposing the parties tobe equally able, would show the greatest injury ? A.—That of Lilly. eck ah Q—May not the other inflict injuries quite as severe although not so apparent? —Yes The chances appeared to be in MeCoy’s favor, from the 8rb or 10th round to the 30th; McCoy exhibited un- common powers of endurance during the whole fight; MeCoy threw Lilly by main strength se- veral times; I heard McCoy say, very near the end of the fight, that “he felt (es a book ;” 1 remem- ber that some one poured a pitcher of cold water over McCoy at the end of the 118th round, while he was seated on his second’s knee ; the fight l-sted 2 hours and 41 minutes ; and the fighting time was 100 minutes ; the rounds were fought some in a minute and some less, . r By Arr ryey Generat.—Did you hear Lilly say during the fight, that after he had whipped MeCoy he could whip James Sanford? A.—I did; this was towards the latter part of the fight. : By Price —When was the new system intro- duced that you speak of? A.—Several yearssince. Q.—Was it betore Sullivan came here? A.—Yes; seme time before that. Joux Basarorv called and sworn.—I keep a public house at Yonkers; the night of the day pre- vious to the fight, several persons came to my house, and among them Sullivan and Lilly; they left my house in the morning; Lilly left with Sullivan; they ordered dinner to be ready on their return; this was the day of the fight; they returned to my hvuse about three or four o’clock in the afternoon of the same day; Sullivan and four others came, and a man they said was Lilly, whom [ should not have known, as his face and cheeks were swollen, end he was much disfigured; I havea doubt thatthe prisoner MeCleester was one of them; I noticed Sullivan and Lilly only particularly; they remained atmy house half an hour on their return; I do not know whether they left together or not; the wag- gon that left last [ understood contained Sullivan and Lilly; I saw Lilly in it, but not Sullivan; I did not hear Sullivan say anything relative to the fight neither before or afterwards. : 3 Tuomas Orcuarp sworn.—I reside in the vil- lage of Hastings, about a mile from the bat- tle ground; I knew Sullivan by sight, but did not see him at my house before the fight; he came there afterwards with Lilly, about a quar- ter of an hour after the battle had term inated; when saw Lilly at my house he was lying on the bed, and some persons were washing him; dullivan was in the room, but I did not see him take any ac- tive part; there was no room spoken for in my house; some one gave a boarder of mine, named William Lynch, a $2 and a $3 bill, which he gave me; I do not keepa public house; I made a mistake; a man gave Lynch a $2 bill, and one of the men gave my wife a $3 bill over the fence, which she gave me; | do not know where Li'ly’s ordinary clothes were left; [do not keep a public house, but keep board- ers; [am an Englishman; I saw the battle but could not swear that McCleester was there; I heard some one say that McClusky was there; they put their horses in the stable of Peter Vandair. No cross-examination. Georce Lansine called and sworn.—I was at the fight on the 13th of September last between MeCoy and Lilly; I saw nearly the whole, but left a few minutes before the fight ended ; I saw Sulli- van on the ground: along about the first of the fight I did not see him at all, but afterwards saw him put- ting water on Lilly, and assistihg him ; this was at the end of pretty much every round ; I did not hear him say any thing to. Lilly auring the progress of the battle ; I heard Ford tell, Lilly how to proceed ; I have no recoliection of any expressions made by Sullivan ; ( reside in New York, in Barclay streat; T went to the fight in the Saratoga ; I do not know how Sullivan or McCleester went up ; Kensett went up in the same boat that I did; there were about 160 in’ the boat that I went up in; Thomas MeCoy was in the same boat with me, and his seconds, Sanford and Shanfroid; I think that.

Tue Late Ternisie Gace on THE Lakes.—We learn that the worst fears of allin relation to the late gale have been fully realised ; al:yhough the ex- tent of the disaster has not reached us. The pierat Dunkirk is nearly destroyed. The “Harrison” and “Chautauque” laid atthe wharf there from Thur-day till Sunday morning, and muchot the time were in imminent danger, and, finally, as a measnre of safety, took tothe lake, and came into Buffalo, the wiad then blowing agale. The schooner aod wine, Capt. Tubbs, that was also lying at Dunkirk, dragged her anchor Saturday night, and that is the last that has been heard of her definitely. One re- port is that she went ashore near Silver Creek, and that all on board perished, and another is that she went down the river gery yesterday morning a wreck. She was heavily loaded with flour. The steamboat Chicago, bound up, is ashore three miles below SilverCreek, She was discovered about 9 A. M.,, the 19th, off Silver Creek, in distress. The citizens rallied and followed dewn the coast with ropes, to render assistance. She beached at 11 0’- clock, and the crew and passengers to the number of about 60, were allsaved. Her deck freight had been thrown overboard the night previous, both ipes carried away, and she became unmanageable. he gale struck her between Conneaut and Ashta- bula. She may be got off and her cargo saved. Beside these, we hear that the following schooners are ashore on this side, mostly between Buflalo and Silver Creek :—Henry eg Met With 2000 bushels of corn, Jeflarson, W. Joy, Tippecanoe, (all on board lost) Ben Franklin, Merchant (Mr.Bo- grand, who last year sailed the Favorite, lost) M. Ney, (all on board lost) and the brig O. Richmond. ‘The particulars of the loss of the Jefferson, W. Joy, and O. Richmond, were given in Saturday’s paper. The schooners report seeing some twenty miles up the lake the “fly” of a sunken schooner, supposed to be the Emily. The schooner Merchant lost a couple of hands—-names not known—who were washed overboard at Grand River, Ohio. Walter Rossan, a hand on the Jena, was also washed over- board during the gale. _ The following schooners are asiiore on the Canada side, near Gravelly Bay:—Indiana, lowded with salt, a total wreck ; Mississippi, Capt. Raymond, for Kingston, loaded with flour and. pork, a total wreck; Ohio, Capt. Robertson, loading livat; M. Kingman, high and dry, will probably be got off ; and the brig F. Malls, and the sehr. i.

Benner, Esq.— Dear Str— I see in your paper of the 22d, under the head of “Money Market,” you give a list of non-dividend paying banks, among which you have the Butchers and Drovers’ Bank, in which article you state that the stockholders having realized nothing from them, are making efforts to reduce their capital, &c. Tam now, and have been a numberof years, a stock owner of the Butchers and Drovers’ Bank, and I can state from actual knowledge that the bank has, since it went into operation in Feb. 1881. paid over seven per cent per annum on its capita stock, and has never missed but one dividend du ring that Uitits ang that was in eonsequence ot « loss sustained by a forgery. ve he bank i in a sound comiion, and ie ; table business, and so faras mz know ie ee the sockholders and director (which is somewhat extensive) they have neve) expressed a wish to reduce itscapital, nor do I think they have ever entertained one. Yours very respectfully, New Yor, Nov. 23, 1942. = R. W. Howss. Lecrurzs ann Lecrurers.—We perceive that the various lecturers in this city are going on with 4 sort of double steam power, as regards numbers, in comparison with those of last year, though with- out any increase in respect to efficiency. Already there are half a dozen societies holding their week- ly meetings throughout the city, which are address- ed by all sorts of lecturers, men and women ; some tew with talent, and the greater part without any. The only lecturers, however, that possess any importance in point of view are those on Physi- jlogy, Mesmerism, Geology, and Fourierism, And that the aggregate tendency of al’ these is towards materialism, cannot fora moment admit of a doubt. And we think, beyond question, that the immorality of the age has been accelerated and hastened on, unnl ithas reached its present fearful height of cor- ruption, by this new system of philosophy, which is in direct opposition to the Christian Religion and all the principles which have their foundation in it.— Probably one of the most signal examples of the et- fects ot this false philosophy was to be seen in the last days of Colt. He seemed to be completely im- ‘bued with the new philosophy to the highest degree, and see what anend he came to. Where 1s the evil to stop? How is it to be arrested? Brsuor Hucues anp Bisnor Have.—These two celebrated dignitaries, one a Bishop of the Roman Cathelic Church, and the other a Bishop of the Presbyterian church, have for some time past been amusing the public with a series of letters, in which they cut up each other in the most scientific style imaginable ; but at the same time their correspon- dence has treated entirely of the most trifling mat- ters, and on subjects in which the public have little or no interest. It certainly is a most singular spectacle to see a principal Bishop of the Catholic church in this coun try descend to a newspaper controversy, which, in point of talent is far inferior to the penny-a-line ef- fusions that fill several of the small papers As far as the controversy has yet progressed, it has been made up of nothing but ‘words, words, words ;” throughout the whole of it there has searcely been asingle idea or original or important observation ; and there isscarcely a single point connected with morals or religion involved in it, from beginning to end. We think that if Bishop Haghes were to con- fine himself more to his pastoral duties and less to political and newspaper squabbles, he would more nearly resemble the character he attempts to por- tray of a religious diguitary, than he does now by degrading himself to fill the office of a holy penny- a-liner for the newspapers. Evorement 1n Hien Lire.—We have heard a fly- ing report, of the elopement of a rich heiress of a southern planter, with a dashing French officer Can any one tell us the particulars about it? Isit a fact? Who are the parties ? From Benmvpa.— Our dates are to the fifth in- stant. The Temperance cause is progressing rapidly in Bermuda, meetings were held, and numerously at- tended. The ship of war Spartan, from Boston, with the Bishop of Newfoundland, was in the offing, but on account of the boisterous weather, was unable to get in. Latest rrom Gurana.—We have received the Royal Gazette, published at Georgetown, to the 3d instant inclusive. From that paper we make the following extracts :— The great heats experienced for the last two or three months have somewhat abated, and the health of the ebeny isimproving. The sickness of the pre- sent year, though quite general, has not been of a fatal character—a circumstance to be ascribed in part, no doubt, to the small number of new comers. Sugar making is going on in almost every part of the colony, and the prospect is, that the crop of this year will exceed that of the last. a Immigration is completely at a standstill. The passages of immigrants from the neighboring colo- nies are no loager paid, and of course we have none from that quarter. They all go to Trinidad. We hear of no vessels sent either to St. Helena or Sierra Leone, though at the last accounts there still re- mained a considerable number of captured Africans at St. Helena. Notwithstanding some very extra- vagant expendi'ures to very little purpose, there still remains in the treasury a large sum of money voted for immigration purposes. ‘ The present population of the colony, according ‘o the latest returns of the Commissary of Popula- tion, founded upon a recent census, is about 102,000. OF this number Georgetown contains about 19,000. At Barbadoes there had been several deaths by yellow fever, and the new Governor had had a se- vere attack. The new Biskop had arrived and been “enthroned,” All the islands had been favored with copious ri ind there wasa good prospect for the crops. The immigration into Triniad continued large. Anguilla haa been inundated by a hurricane, which destroyed the crops. . i ss The health of Guiana was improving; the eick- ness had been very general, but not of a fatal char- acter, Immigration was at an end, but the crops promised to be large. First Svow.—There was a bit of a snow storm yesterday. city Mtelligence. Sentence or Cou. Wess —This ceremony will be per- formed to-morrow morning by Recorder Tallmadge, as. sisted by Judge Lynch, in the Court of Sessions room, at the Tombs, with all due solemnity, and with a proper re. gard for the painful situation in which the unfortunate Colonel is placed. Immediately thereafter the Colonel will draw from his overcoat pocket a full pardon from Governor Seward, which will restore him to allthe rights ofcitizenship he has so foolishly forfeited; then he will receive the congratulations of his friends on his lucky escape, shed tears of gratitude in return, and go home, we trust, a wiser and a better man. —This morning at 11 o’clock, all the swin- dlers, thieves, rowdies, and disorderlies, that have been convicted before the Court of Sessions, whether out on bail, or in durance vile, will be arraigned and sentenced by the Court.

Nov. 24.—In Bankruptcy.—On the opening of the Court His Honor the Judge gave decisions in a number of cases, but 98 none of them involved any new points of law, or were of any special interest, we pass them over. In the matter of Amory & Leeds, individually and as partners. In these cases objections had been filed creditors, which were placed on the calendar for argu- ment. On Saturday last, the 19th instant, the cause was reached, and Mr. Barnard, of counsel for bankrupts, mov- ed for adecree, which was granted, there being no one to oppose. This morning Mr. Girard appeared and made ‘a motion to open the default (on which t! decree bad been obtained) and set aside all the proceedings, on several grounds. First, that the default was o!

It ky sei that there was no irregularity on the part of the bankrupts, as neither they nor the counsel whe moved for them were cognizant of any ent between Messrs. Girard and Noyes, for delay, ftalso ap) that the third petition was filed before the objections, end that the omission of the as- Fignees’ report was merely formal. ‘The certificates of is- charge haye been granted and are now in possession of the tenkrapts, oneof whom (Mr. Amory) resides in Bos- ton, and isfoeyond the jurisdiction of this Court. Mr. ‘Amory s certificate was sent on to him last Saturday, the it was obtained. eee the certificates and recall them, and enjoin the nankrvpts from using them. The case was argued on redesiaes | by the counsel with great ability and acute- ness. The Court, however, gave no decision on the mo- tion. A written opinion will be given this morning (Fri- day, 26th.) Mr. Girard also made a motion to Cuatuam Tueatre.—The sterling play, in five acts, called ‘ Retribution, or the Chiefiain’s Daugh- is offered this evening, Mr. J. R.

BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. EIS Philadelphia, [Correspondence of the Herald.} ‘ Puivapecenia, Nov. 24, 1842. Dear Bennert— At this moment we have a clear sky, but a cold, blustering wind. At about 3 o’cleck this morning it snowed, rained, and froze quite hard. The strange termination of the proposed sale of State stocks yesterday, appears to have excited but litle surprise in the minds of the commercial por- tion of the community, who nevertheless do not like the ceurse of action pursued by Gov. Porter and the Secretary of State. Nota single dollar's worth of stock was disposed of to any individual save the commonwealth. The letters ot Nicholas Biddle, Esq., (one of which I observe in today’s He1uld,) as published in the Inquirer and Public Ledger, attract considerable attention among our citizens. They are ably writ- ten, and I doubt not will retrieve ‘qe ex-Presi- dent a portion of that popularity whié® he so sudden- ly lost. They are deserving of careful scrutiny. _ One of the most heterogeneous collections of pri- soners { ever beheld, were congregated together in the Criminal Court this day. Their oflences were various—some desperate.others trifling. There were at least twenty-five, all of whom plead “not guilty,” excepttwo Among the number was the bold and desperate Sam Williams, a yellow looking ruffian, who committed the heinous outrage upon the person of an o'd woman Ma of seventy years old, a few nights since, in her dwelling, in Shippen street. This fellow is also charged with two aggravated cases of assault and battery. During the course of the afternoon, John Rich- ards, Andrew Ryan, William Walters, and several others, were convic'ed of the offences charged against them, and sentenced to fine and imprison- ment. Thomas Conroy, a notorious pickpocket, well known in your city, is now on trial tor eons —having been convicted a short time since, of pick- ing a gentleman’s pocket, fcr which offence he has not yet been sentenced The jury in the case of Ned Roberts, charged with being accessory to a for- gery, had not agreed upon their verdict at three o'clock, when the Court adjourned ‘ Veasy, one of the proprietors of the Evening Ex- press, has been committed to prison in default of $2000 bail. Wilmer remains at large upon his own recognizance. This case of Veasy and Wilmer is worthy the serious attention of the sincere friends of John Tyler in this city. "Nuff sed. i Itis generally believed that Mrs. Caroline Colt, (late Henshaw) and child, are now residing in this city, with an acquaintance, in Gaskill street, be- tween Third and Fourth. 7 Tn theatricals, matters remain about the same. Welch had an excellent house last evening. He presents new and increased attractions to-mght.— At the Walnut street theatre, there was also a bril- liant audience present. 'To-night the performances are for the benefit of the Wiccacoe Hose Company. To-morrow evening, the charming sister of the ac- complished directress, Miss Susan Cushman, takes a benefit, and trustit will be a benefit in the full- est sense of the word. Mr. and Mrs. Brougham, Mons. and Mad. Lecompte, Mr. H. Placide, Daven- rt, Chippendale, and several other eminent per- formers will appear. Such an array of talent was seldom ever presented to a Philadelphia audience. Maywood’s benefit comes off on Saturday eve- ning, when the new drama of “ Inheritance, or the Scotchman’s Daughter,” will be performed, for the first time in this country, Bobby isa deserving mat, and it is hoped he will have a crowdrd house.

The first performance takes place at 11 o’clock, in the morning. Ladies, families, children and others, will be delighted in visiting the Museum to-day. The whole building will be beautifully decorated with flags and banners, making a display unequalled in the city. Ifany have neglected visiting the Mermaid, let them re- member that her fish-ship positively leaves town after to- morrow.
