A.—I gave my opinion that the brig wesin a very dan- 's condition, and that her safety was in jeopardy. Q.—Why did you judge so? A.—From what [heard Spencer and others the character imaginable, are persons in the employment and pay of the city authorities, is one which may of a verity startle the most indifferent to the good order and welfare of the community. Only think of watchmen being the sworn associates of such miscreants as those who tenanted the Broadway Cot- tage! Pretty guardians of the night truly! And this is not a solitary specimen of the men to whom the care of the lives and property of our citizens are en- trusted in the hours of darkness. We believe that generally speaking a more unprincipled, corrupt, and unfaithful set of men never existed than the city watchmen. Most of them are men utterly des- titute of a rag of morality or decency. They are efficient only in aiding in the perpetration of crimes of all sorts, and asin the case before us, they are ready at any time to add perjury to their other sins. Their insolence to respectable citizens has re- peatedly been the subject'of complaint. Last night” when one of our reports on finding the door of the Session room locked in order to prevent the access of more persons than the place could accommodate, went to the watch-house and asked of one of the watchmen the way through the prison to the court- room, stating at the same time his object in seeking admission, he was ordered to “go about his bu- siness, and told that the watchmen had nothing to do with the Court of Sessions.” A very fair sample of the good breeding of this class of public servants. The speech of Mr. Whiting was an admirable one. He administered a scorching rebuke to the watchman, lamplighter and bell-ringer, who appear- ed on the stand, and took occasion to refer, in the most pointed manner, to the necessity for an imme- diate reform of the whole police system, in this city. At the conclusion of his speech, he spoke in such feeling terms of the enormity of the outrage, that even the obdurate nature of the prisoner gave way, and he could not restrain his tears. The punishment awarded by law to the crime of which this ruffian, Dingler, has been eonvicted, is confinement in the State prison for a period not less than ten years, and it may be continued for life.

I recollect nothing more worth mentioning touching this enquiry. By Capt. McKenzie.—Were there any causes or re- marks made by Warner or others which induced you to believe that the greater part of the apprentices were ac- quainted with the projected change of administration on board of the Somers, and hoped to profit by it?

The execution of Cromwell appears to have been en- tirely without eause—without evidence—and with- out necessity.

The original has been in his possession ever since. Part of the original is in my hand writing,and part in Mr. Wales’. ‘These origi- nals were submitted to Commander McKenzie by myself previous to the execution. They were sent to him before the letter, recommending the execution. Q.—When did Spencer draw the razor case—on board, or before ? A.—I think he drew it with a razor in it after he came on board; I cannot name the day. Mr. Waxes was here called, and stated where his hand- writing began in the depositions, and some other unim- a mo poi respectin, i jargeant Gantry reci \—[Reads his deposition before theCeuacil on board the Somers] Q by Jupce Apvocare—Is that deposition correct ?

Cranes Stewart, a petty officer, Capt. of the Fore castle, sworn—I wason boardthe Somers; I first heard of the intended mutiny on the night Spencer was arrested; and learnt it from one of the officers—as they said. I had frequently seen Spencer talking with Cromwell. They appeared to be intimate; I have seen them telking togeth- er on the forecastle, and on Jacob’s ladder, in a low tone; Toould not hear whet they said, although within five or six feet fromthem, night and day, as my duty always re- quired me on the forecastle. I have seen them talking together a numberof times. I have seen Spencer give Cromwell money. No one on board ever said any thing to me about taking the vessel. The order and discipline on board were very good till we arrived at Madeira. Af- ter leaving Madeira something very extraordinary occur- red—the conduct was not so well—some on board looked very sullen—the crew were very slack in obeying orders upto the time of Spencer’s arrest. During the fine the prisoners were in confinement, the crew used to stand three orfourin number 70. but I don’t know what they were talking about. ere would be several of these knots or groups of men about the deck ; I was examined at the couneil of officers on board the Somers ; I gave the opinien at that tim id I think sostill, that the vessel was not safe, while those prisoners were on board, on ac- count of their numbers, and the few men on board to guard the vessel; there must have been more who had something to do with it, but Ican’tsay who they were. ‘mai Apvocatr—Is there any thing else you can fe A.—At the time of the execution, Cromwell made two or three attempts before the rope was put round his neck to jump overboard ; 1 heard him plead his innocence ; Spencer and Small were on the starboard side, and I did not hear them say any thing. Stewart’s deposition was then read to him as it wastaken down at the council ; he said it wascorrect. [It contam- ed nothing of special interest, more than what has alrea- dy been given.)

Fine axp two Peasons SmotHeren to Deatn.—Be tween the hours of three and four o’clock on Saturday morning, a fire was discovered in the attic of the two- story brick hotel, called;the Hickory House, No. 496 Pearl street, nearly opposite City Hall Place. The rooms were occupied by several lodgers, who were asleep at the time, and who escaped from the fire‘and smoke with much difficulty. The flames then extended to No. 436, the house adjoining, occupied by Joseph Dreyfous, one of the Custom House Inspectors, and also by William Brown, a porter in the employ of Coffin, Bradley & Co., Commission Merchants, 44 Exchange Place. Mr. Drey- * fous, with his family, occupied the second story front room, basement, and two ofthe attic bedrooms. Brown, with his wife, rented the second story back room, and attie bed rooms. The inmates of this house were not aroused un- til the building was filled with smoke from the adjoining premises,which were burning with grest rapidity. After descending to the street, Brown returned to the upper part of the house and succeeded in bringing down a bureau.— A German servant girl, who resided with Mr. Dreyfous, named Caroline Goerlitz, who had slept in one of the attic rooms, after descending to the street, also returned, to ob- tain some clothing from her lodging room. Brown also went into the attic a second time to secure some of his pro- perty, and while there, the smoke became so dense that they both fell upon the floor of one of the rear rooms, and inley, and Green. in aslaver, I told him I had not said any when found the girl was dead, and!Brown nearly so.— ing to me about = , nor 8; Spencer : ‘ # very intimate with Crom nm them ir bodies were brought down stairs as soon as possible, | WAt very toumate with Cro been Bingrime Bye it all attempts to revive Brown were unsuccessful.

The Court assembled at about halt: nine o’clock, and the jurors, who ha.! been kept together over night, at the Cariton House, being called, the cause . Mr. Wuitino rose and said, that the of the Ann Murphy, who had arrived in town en Friday, been requesied to be in attendance this morning as a wit- ness, and that she had given the number of the street she resided in to Colonel Jones, the keeper of the City Prison, whe had mislaid it by accident. He said that he had or- dered an officer to go after her, and {presumed that she would soon bs in Court. A delay of half an hour now took place,when the Court intimeted that L.B. Shepherd, Esq. one of the counsel for defence, who was to commence summing up, had better abategeesl when the witness came into Court, she could examin This was objected to by both counsel for defence, as it would be impossible for them to open the summing up,un- less they were acquainted with the character of all the testimony to be presented hy the prosecution. The Couar then o1 that the prisoners in the cit: pe who had been ind‘cted and not arraigned, shou! brought up for, that purpose. A dozen were here brought into Court, being a ture of black, white and yellow, and among them were the black burglar, Ben Sla- ter, and his white accomplice, John Moffatt, alias Wil- ea pdn aa whom are some fifteen charges of burglary and half a dozen of arson. Also, Michael J. Sallenger, the German forger of 1841; young Frazee, the bu . pickpocket, &c. and about half a others. Havi 1 entered a plea of not guilty to the charges alleg: against thet ey were sent below ; and The Covat then requested that Mr. Shepherd should proceed with his summing up on the part of the defence. He ted, until the District Attorney had concluded fence forthe prosecution. The District Artorney stated that he presumed the sisterof Ann Murphy would soon arrive; buthe had no particular desire to bring her upon the stand asa witness, unless the defence insisted upon it. The Court then directed that Mr. Suepherd should pro- ceed, with an understanding that the witness should be ex- amined whenever she came into Court. ‘With much reluctance, Mr. Shepherd then commenced summing up, and had proceeded but a few moments,when a note w ‘anded him which he ed was from Mr. Price, sociate counsel, who protested against the de. fence being compelled to sum up until the evidence for prosecution was concluded. The Count again requested Mr. Shepherd to proceed. Atabout LI o'clock, while he was addressing the jury for defence, the sister of Ann, who had been sent for by the District ‘Attorney, came into Court, accompanied by an officer, and it was then urged by the prosecution that she should be examined. The counsel for defence objected, and Mr. Shepherd continued his able summing up until about half past one o’clock, occupying nearly three hours, when— Jonas B. Pruirs, Esq. followed for prosecution. Wa. M. Paice, Esq., replied tor defence. During his summing up, he presented the reported evidence, as con- tained in the New York Herald, and was about to read certain passages, when the District Attorney objected, as it was contrary to practice to introduce reported newspa- per testimony: He said he dowbted not the entire correct. ness of the report, but he preferred that the gentleman would read from his notes, Mr. Paice replied that the report, as oontained in the Herald, was far more correct than his notes, and he felt it his duty, at that period, to return his thanks tothe reporter of that paper, for the care and attention which he had evinced in giving a true and faithful report of the evidence in the case on trial. The Court assented that counsel should read from the Herald, and Mr, Price proceeded with hia argument. Af- ter an eloquent and argumentative speech, he closed near 4o’clock, and the court took a recess until 5 P.M. Evening Session. During the intermission, the entrance to the court room was as crowded as at any previous time since the commencement of the trial, and about the hour fer the re-agsembling of the Court, the vestibule was overflowing with the crowd. At five o’clock, the Court having re-assembled, District Attorney Whiting commenced his argument to the jury. He dwelt with great force and severity upon the contra- dictory jcharacter of the evidence for defence, and with much eloquence and feeling in allusion to the poor, unfor- tunate, and friendless girl, who had been violated and ruined by the ruffian gang, who made the Broadway Cot- tage their place of resort and refuge. In the course of his aye Mr. Whiting made a most Meaent vindication of the Irish female character. He highly eulogised that deep and almost instinctive love of virtue, by which the lower orders of the Irish women preserve their honor and chastity amid all the temptations of poverty. The females of ne nation on the globe wero so dit hed for virtue, as the women of Ireland. Mr. Whiting’» remurks on this point excited great feeling amongst audience, and it was with difficulty that feted om se was hushed. During his allusion to the situation sufferings ofthe poor gir , several ofthe jurors were seen to shed tears, and the au- dience was excited in the greatest degree. the testimony of the defence, he selected s., for |, were In dissect that given by Joseph Carlisle, one ofthe newly appointed keepers of the City Prison, Andrew Carney, a newly ap- inted bell ringer of the City Hall, Joseph Murkle, {amp ‘hter, and Peter Jacobs, city watchman, and after show- ing their associations with the accused, and the nature of their evidence, (as will be remembered by our readers) said, “tell us that thie branch of our police system needs no reform, and I will ask you to turn to the frightful picture which thistrial presents. Unless some. thing is done, and that ily, witha system that sus. tains such men, the whole superstructure of justice will be overturned, and all mor allthe peace and good order of society will be prostrated in the ruins.” In con- cluding, he dwelt with much feeling and eloquence upon the situation of the prisoner, the enormity of the offence charged against him, and the duty of the jury tfweigh im. partially and without fear, favor or affection, the evidence presented before them, and todecide in accordance with such mature deliberation as their consciences and oaths "During his ¢poech ha wan froGuantly loudly’ sppla During speech he was frequent rT ay uded by the audience, particularly b: thoes in tha pall a , and all the efforts of the officers and court appeared to im- possible te repress the expression of fveling. ‘The ac- cused, who sat near him, became much affected near the close of his speech, and wept freely while he was deliver. ing his perroration.

The first count in the indictment char; that the prisoner at the bar, inconnection with Gabriel Hatfield and John Under- hill, on the 3d of December last, violently assaulted Ann Murphy, the complainant, and by force and violence en- abled the ner atthe bar to ravish her. The second count in the indictment makes a similar charge against them of an assault upon her, and that she was then rayish- ed by Underhill, and the third count contains a similar charge against Hatfield. Thistriel, gentlemen, involves no very important principles of law, save that mere defi- nition of the oftence with which the accused is charged. He is charged, as I have before remarked to you, with for- ibly violating the of Ann a It is neces. sary to constitute this offence that, on the part of the pro- secution, they should establish the fact conclusively that she was ravished—that her person was violated ; and nct merely that, but thatit was forcibly violated—that it was done by violence—that the connection between them was involuntary on her part. From the very able and zeal- ous manner in which the factsthat have been elicited by the testimony in this case, hag been presented to you by the counsel ; the necessity on the part ofthe Court to go very minutely into the examination or detail of these facts has in @ great measure been superseded. You have heard those facts with great patience from the witnesses themselves, and have carefully attended to their examina- tion, so that every feature of the case, both as it respects the prosecution and the defence, have been presented in bold relief before you. I shail, therefore, content myself ing your attention to the prominent facts in the case and those On winch It appears to me Your decision must de- pend. And in the examination of this testimeny, gentle- men, it is material to recur inthe firet place to that given by Ann¢Murphy.

The testimony of the next witnesses, the wetchman, Jacob, Stokely, Courtney, Kruger, and Bache, is recapitulated in the same manner, and for the same reason is omitted Mr. Bache states that he is an inmate of the same the outrage was committed—that he heard asimilar cry of distress to that described by the other witnesses—that it appeared to come from the rear of the building.

He nothing, and right on. The Recoxprn then proceeded, and recapitulated the testimony of the remaining witnesses for the prosecution The evidence for the defence was in the same manner re. capitulated, but it is ebviously unnecessary. for us to re- peatithere. “I did not intend,” his Hon. then said, “to go minutely into the testimony, nor to comment on those tailswhich have undoubtedly made an prseeh ty on your minds and solved some of the dit of the case; but I would now call your attention to of the y stances which appear unfavorable tothe prisoner. That there has been a most violent on the rson of this individual, no human can deny.— ‘ay, it is not questioned on the part of the ), that it was committed at the time she represents, and that it oc- curred atthe place thot she has stated is equally undeni- able. And the first question on which this case must de- pend, and upon which your verdict must be founded, is in relation to the identity of the iadividual or individuals that committed this grave outrage. The circumstances which the testimony have developed, and which I have already remarked are unfavorable to the prisoner, ty the first place, that the ot ‘was perpetrated at house of which he was the proprietor, and that he was in the house when she ent and when she dey from it. I say it is an unfavorable circumstance, for it must have cet extraordinary to him that this Jake Roome ould introduced a female into his apartment —should have seen him bi her back; should have heard her complaints of the outrage com- mitted on her, and yet that he should have remained silent, no protection to this outraged individual, not to enquire who was the offender, to take no measures to ferret him out and cause him to bearrested. J say that citcumstance of itself, though it is possible that it may be consistent with his innocence, is exceedingly unfavorable to his character and the which he cad pod before this jury. The next circumstance to which I call your attention is this, that when Courtney, on his accompany- ing the female into the and the cottage ‘asking the prisoner if he ‘ited such conduct in his establishment, he should make the reply that ‘that female had not been there that evening as he knew of.” Now, tlemen, he did know that she had beenthere. All the testimony tends to establish the fact that he was there when came in; nay, he himself afterwards stated that JakeRoome brought her there, and all his own witnesses establish the factthat after she returned from the room, he was there, and came in while she was there, and heard her tale of wo and sorrow. And yet, in the face of all that, he states to this watchman, that he did not know that she had been there that night. i say this isan unfavorable eircumstance, because had he not had some reason for falsifying, he would have told the truth at once, and the only rerson why he did not, must hav® been that he hoped, by falsifying; to escape from the charge. The next circumstances which would appear unfavorable to the innocense of the prisoner, is that he left his bar-room just about the time, or immediately after, the testimony says, as she came in, and did net return there again after she came from the back room. That is the'tes- mony of Ostrander. I say itis peculiarly unfortunate for this prisoner, that instead of being there at his business in view of all the individuals present during the time of the outrage,he was strangely absent all the time the fe- melejwas in the room. So teo, that he should have been down in that refectory just at that epost period immediately after the cry—that he should have been down there and (pase from the front of thatrefectory into the kitchen. There is a possibility that he may then have passed into the room in the rear of his own part of the building, hsve participated in the out- rage, and then passed out of the refectory. But you have examined the premises, which I have not, and you can better judge of that possibility. Then you have the posi- tive oath of thegirl Ann Murphy. She states unequivo. cally and without hesitation, that she recognized the pri- soneras one ofthe individuals who committed this violent outrage upon her person—that she knew him from the pe- culiar expression of his countenance—saw him while go- ing into this back roam—that he was without a coat—that she cannot be mistaken as to his identity. And here, gen- tlemen, as it nas been at all events attempted to impeach the character of this girl, and as she stands before you un- protected and unsustained by the testimony of others in relation to her character for veracity and otherwise, it is proper to examine whether any circumstances have been developed, calculated strongly to corroborate her narra- tive: And in doing that, gentlemen, we need not confine ourselves to the precige circumstances whicn occurred at the Cottaze. She says that she went into the Bowery,and from thence into Broadway, and inquired of a lad the di- rection to Beekman street, and wasinfurmed by him. The lad himself comes torward and substantiates this fact. So to that she was informed by others. The watchman tells the same fact; She stated that she inquired of him in Broadway, and he hat she did at the eorner of Lispe- nard street. So too when she came to this Cou she made an a) 1 to the watchman for fact is proved! by the watchman himself. all these circumstances, she is corroborated by all these witnesses Drought from abrogd, tetally unacquain- ted with her and unknown to her. So too when taken to the watchhouse,herstatements there are fully sustained by the evidence of Dr. Macomb and the matron Uh ees She also stated with whom she had lived, Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. O'Kelly, and Mrs. Moore, and all this was substantia- ted by those witnesses on the stand. In all these state- ments then, she has spoken the truth, and from this the in- ference is thatishe has spoke the truth also with respect to the identity of the individual at the bar. She also states, gentlemen, that she was probably in that a an hour. You observe that all the witnesses on the part of the defence, who were in the Cottage, including the ve- ry bar-keeper, state the fact that she could not have been more than three or four minutes there. Now the lad Saddler says that when she asked of him the way to Beek- man street, it was not eight o’clock. The watchman on the cerner of Lispeuurd street, stuted that she asked the same question of him sometime between 7 and 8 o’clock. She herself says that when she got to the Cottage, it was about eight o’clock, and the watchman who found her af- ter the outrage, says that it was about a quarter past nine o'clock when he saw her, and when she stated that she had just then came out ofthe Cottage. All this,of course, strongly sustains the truth of her statement respecting the time during which she was inthe building. And this fact is of great importance in the examination ofthe character of the evidence for the defence. So wide a difference as exists between them, a few minutes, and an hour, or near- ly an hour, in which these individuals were thus engaged in outraging the feelings and person of this individual, must necessarily call your attention to the credibility of the witnesses ring such discordant Maar henys Then comes the ready and unhesitating recognition of the pri- soner by the girl when at the watch house, and her stea- dy persistence in it till brought on the stand. I have thus, tlemen, direeted your attention to the prominent facts onthe side of the prosecution. But you do not require to be reminded that the case on the part of the defence has equal claims on your calm and dispassionate consideration; and i I to call on you to dis. 1 excited feeling, and to Se eee to ctity and supremacy o! equal justice are so fully revered and admitted, cad os respectable individuals, I think I know you too well, to be under the necessity of explaining the nature of your du- tig. No matter how excited counsel may be—no matter in what glowing terms they may describe ‘the case, on the one sideor on the other—no matter hew ingeniously they may distort the testimony, you are to take it and subject it to calm, unprejudi ‘and im ial exanination. It ‘decomes us, th re, to look on the other side of the pic- ture. Let us see what there ie sustain this peleoier. If he be innocent, God grant that you may see inno- cence, and render unto him jnstice. What, then, is ad- vanced on the part of the defence in this case? Mr. Courtney, who is one of your city watchmen, says that after the girl made her complaint to him, he went into the Cottage with her, and that she was unable to recog- nize any one there as having committed the outrage on her person, although the prisoner atthe bar was present and shook hands with the watchman, thus exciting the girl’s attention tohim. This is favorable to the prisoner, unless it be counterbalanced by the fact that the confu- sion in the girl’s mind may, at that moment have been so grent as to interfere with her recollection. Then, again, while atthe watch house “she did not at first recognize Hatfield and Underhill, buf did on the ensuing morning. Thus the testimony of Ostrander respecting the absence of the prisoner in his company during the perpetration of the outrageis before you. Now, gentlemen, there is one of twothings, either these wituesses are ali perjured, or the prisoner is an innocent man. It iv utterly impossible to reconcile this testimony with his guilt. Evidence has been adduced to prove that the girlis unchaste, and euch evi- dence, aa it forma part of the res gesta, is perfectly admissi- ble. A woman who is alprostitute, would not be ‘very worthy of credit, in calling feran indictment against an indivig al for ravishing her, because the fact of her being a prostitute evinces that she had no repugnance to that act which a virtuous female would regard as utterly de structive of her peace and character. You have heard the ments of counsel relative to the character and ered of these witnesses, and I forbear to make any addiri comments, With this very succinct, and I fear superficial view of the testimony, I leave the case in your hands, gentiemon. Loaght to romurk Cat op the part of the defence, evidence of the good character of the prisoner pre- vious to his keeping this house was offered, and that since then the witwessess know nothing against him except the keeping of that establishment. You will, of course, as in all oases, give the accused the benefit of whatever value you attach to this part of the defence. Gentlemen, the grent duty now devolves upon you to judge between the people of the State of New York, and the accused. Let me remind you that whilst on the one side, you do not give way to feeling, prejulice, excitement, or what the world may say, or what charecter they may impute to this trans- action ; on the other hand, let no sickly sympathy on be- halfof the aconsed operate on your minds. You ait there not to indulge your sympathy —not to be excited by pre- judice or feeling, but to administer the law according to your oath and the testimony before you. The crime of rape was,antil recently, punishable by death in England, and in some of our own States the law continues the same. But in this State the law hos been ameliorated, wh the punishment for this crime still remains a se- re one, and righteously so. You see before you an indivi- dual fleeing to our country for protection and honorable em- ployment—a lovely, desolate, friendless, penniless female, scarce landed on your shores, and passing through one of your most public streets, at an earl y hour in the evening, her person arrested and thrown into a dark room, and there brutally and outrageously violated by somebody. {t is sickning—it isgusting fora moment to reflect that such acts can be committed Inge city, in the centre of it, in its most public parts. k God, such acts are rare. When they do , and when a Jury can consci- entiously point out the person who committed such an act, the law showld have its fuil force and its full severity, Pub- lic indignation cannot betoo highly aroused and public jus- tice too severely inflicted in such cases. But, gentlemen, this is a question for you purely of fact. You have pa: tiently heard the testimony, and the arguments of counsel I know not that the Court has afforded any additional light on the investigation of the case,but it repo*es the most perfect confidence in you, in submitting it to your judg meftand decision. With thisthe community will be sat- istied —with this the prisoner at the bar mustjabide. he Jury then retired under charge of an officer, and in afew minutes returned with a verdict of Guinty.

Axsany, (Friday) Jan. 6, 1843. ‘in the Legislatwre—Cutting out Work for the Session—Office Seckers and their Pros- pects. The Legislature, it will be seen, have already cut out work enough to keep them busy during the great- er part of the session. Notices have been given of bills to amend the Pilot Laws of the city of New York—to repeal the School Laws of last session— to require Justices of the Peace to give security— to repeal part of the Exemption Law, and to abo- lish the practice of voting by proxy in Banks and Ingurance Companies. Mr. Jos’ bill to equalise the wards of the city of New York is likely to draw out a great deal of party teeli as the whigs here charge that it is the result of @ caucus between the oe mem- bers of the New York Corporation and the city delegation. If the bill becomes a law, the whi may well despair of ever getting a m ity in the Common Council of the city. The sessions of either House as yet have been of short duration, about two hours per day. ie : There has been no opportunity for display of ora- tory as yet, and it cannot, of course, be told who is the big gun of either party. There will be plenty of opportunity afforded the talkers next week. A great deal of effort is being made to have the Exemption Law, of last session repealed, or else ma- terially modified. It will be an unpopular measure, however, and I do not believe the attempt will suc- ceed. eo) ition to the law comes principally from the landlords and wealthy men. | he rush for office has somewhat subsided. The office-seekera were so cavalierly treated by Gov. Bouck, that they find it poor business to bore him. They are now content to wait patiently for his deci- sion. This city and county furnishesa good share of these gentry. Among them, I notice Mr. Eras- tus Miller, a somewhat prominent politician on a small scale in this city. fie would like very much to be Flour Inspector again. He former! ‘held the office. Mr. P. Byrnes wouldhave no objection to be a gt of Staves, but his chance isa desperate one. Mr. B had the misfortune to be one of the aiders and abettors of the whig intrigues on ithe subject of the Public Schools in this city last fall— the result of which, was among the most prominent causes of the Locofoco defeat. Mr. B. soon alter the election, published a card, in which he con- fessed his error, and urged in extenuation of his fault, hat he had been deceived and was y, ete. ete. Whether he has retrieved his character in the opinion of his political friends, time will show. Ex. Lieut. Gov.

Great Excitement in the Massachusetts Legislature— New Speaker—Curious Incidents. *-I wish you a happy New Year. Now as youknow how to appreciate that old fashioned salutation, any further comment is quite unnecessary. Our city is in a perfect fret and fever of anxiety about the first development of legislative wisdom, that shall transpire. The Legislature is now in solemn session in their respective halls, sweating and puffing in the full tug of war. As you willhave seen ere this, the whigs have chosen their old clerk, Cushing; but the august body have not been able to electa Speaker yet. Tom Kinnicutt, whig, and Col. Seth J. Thomas, dem. are the two candidates.— Tomisa ie clever fellow, and looks, in all the outer man, like Mat Van Buren; that operates un- ak abcnn for Seth. The locos are dead for Seth, because he is the handsomest man there is in the whole congregation, and withal, is beyond doubt the best qualified to do the clean thing. Tom’s eternal Kinderhook kind of a June morning smile, has a sort of mesmeric influence on the susceptible, and plays the mischief. Three days have spirited themselves into the past, and yet the goed pilgrim State is dead in the eyes of the wind, under a single close reefed jib. Neck and neck they go, nosing the purse; however,we are full of hope for the future. h, yes, that will open rich, as regards matters in these diggins. The public weal will stand a good chance for a squeezing, as the parties are so well balanced that a grand potential equilibrium will, un- doubtedly, leave much undone that ought to be done, and prevent being done those things that no hogy wants to have done. e Senate is organized complete._Phin. W. Le- land, of Fall River, was chosen President, and Lewis Joslyn (late editor of the Bay State Demo- crat) Clerk. Phin. Leland was formerly collector at Fail River and the region round about, and was removed by Capt. Tyler; by mistake, undoubtedly, asno man inthe full flow of reason would have done that same thing in a cool, deliberate moment. Why, I should as soon have thought of the removal of Bod. However, the Capting is ina bad fix.— That Senate—how cruel it is! they will get it, when the spring opens. é In conformity to an old custom, (and God forgive me, it may be a law) the Independent Cadets, some- times called ironically, the “Governor’s Guard,” escort the government, after its organization, to the “old South,” where a sermon on nursery morals and Biblical pe 1s preached by some learned Savan. Well, asthe government has not been able to organize, these va liant soldiers have not been permitted to lay by their murderous arms “for the space of “three days and three nights!” But them’s brave chaps; they knows where the glory lies. Right in the middle of all this trouble, the liberty men have wiggled themselves, holding the casting vote, and though mostly whigs, they have unfor- tunately smelt outa slave holder by construction, in the person of Tom Kinniecutt. “Tom, it is said, Tepresents slave property .in Mississippi, and then he isso fair-complexioned that, putting that and that together, they can’t swallow as well as at first; but I expect all these crooked things will be straighten- ed, smoothed down, glossed over, and slipped one side in about twenty minutes.

Well, let me tell you that a stroll of twenty minutes on Washington street has added fresh ‘evidence to old convictions. I wish names could sometimes be spoken in the papers, but it would only deepen the blush and make those eyes sparkle with a new and more consuming fire. A very funny incident transpired this day at *change hour—it is worth telling. A queer kind of alooking fellow stalked into the Exchange and stepped up to an honest faced gentleman and com- menced a conversation. No one knew what or who he was talking about. Some one overheard him say “he’s gone—no mistake—that is, I saw him just starting off.” Another man, “who had nothing else to do,” became quite busy in repeat- ing the words. It was notlong before confusion was boiling over, and an old cock, who was then just closing a per centum bargain, heard the alarm, and unwittingly bawled out ‘‘who’s gone, the en- dorser 7” The same wag, who was on the spot, o course, yee “oh yee I saw him starting of— that is, I thought he looked like it.” ‘* My stars! look§here, friend, I rather guess 1 can’t take it—I will see you to-morrow—here.” Why, Mr. Shy- lock !—what in the world—but what—do you mean’? Did’nt vou hear just now—he’s gone—endorsert— Pshaw!—all gum—just ask John.” Well John knew his game—and was on hand. “I say, John, what, what A ag mean by saying that “he’s gone?”—do tell ?” “Ob nothing—only just as 1 was coming into the Exchange I saw the Eagle flying off trom the great pumpkin, and if he is a good flyer, 1 guess he is gone by this time.” What a laugh. 0.

Consrantinopie, Oct. 27, 1842. Though there has been such a lapse ef tme since my last communication, it was not from neglect, but from lack of news, that you did not hearfrom me. The many questions of much interest to the East, and which have occupied so much of the time of the foreign diplomatists, are no nearer a set- tlement than they were two months since. The Sublime Porte has concentrated a strong force on the eastern frontier, and has assumed so menacing an attitude that the Schah of Persia will willingly listen to terms. Theirquarrelfor the present, has - aesumed the aspect of an armed truce. No farther aggressions have occurred, and it is well that such is the case, when we consider the barbarous system of wartare they adopt—carrying off the population of entire villages, and ceiliry emg asslaves. The Persian women command a high price, as they are celebrated for their beauty and accomplishments. We may, therefore, judge with what savage ferocity a wild and undisciplined soldiery, such as the Turkish army consists of, must overrun an enemy’s territory. The ministers of the allied powers are much o¢- cupied with the Syrian affairs. The inhabitants of the mountain still continue in a turbulentstate, and many encounters have occurred between them and the Sultan’s troops. The intended visit of the Pa- cha of Egypt is much talked of, although I cannot say with how much foundation of truth. Servia has given cause for Russian interference with the affairs of haben 8 and Mr. Bouteneff arrived here lately as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister jpotentiary, and will use his powerful influence to reconcile the Padishah with his Demi subjects. _ A splendid steam frigate was launched a few days since at the Navy Yard, and as it was the one that has been built in the capital, thelaunch wasat- tended with extraordinary ceremony. The Sultan, surrounded by a brilliant escort, wasreceived at the landing place by Tahir Pacha, the grand admiral. and ‘a crowd of other dignitaries A regiment of the Imperial Guards lined the path from the Sultan’s barge to the crimson pavillion, erected at a conve- nient distance from the ship.. Carpets protected the Imperial feet from the plebeian dust, and a couple of officers walked slowly before him, swinging gol- den censors.@His Highness, supported on either side by a Pacha of high rank, moved with languid ag if unable or unwilling!:to bear his own it. The Imperial astrologers had predicted that a fa- vorab‘e conjunction of the planets would take place at 14 P. M.—prayers were said by the Muftisamidst a dead silence, and the blood of a lamb sprinkled over her bows, when at a given signal, the vast mass began to move, creaking, smoking, and groaning as she went, saluted by the martial strains of the Im- perial band, and the loud huzzas of the multitude which covered all the neighboring roofs and vessels, or hid the golden horn in their numberless caiks. She glided gracefully into that noble basin, and immediately workmen were sent to complete her without delay. H.H. was so much ied with the successful result of the launch and the ma- jestic appearance of the ship, that he has given orders for the construction of three more of from 400 to 600 horse power. Mr. Reeves, the constructor, is an American, and has received much praise for the masterly execution of this his first work. She has been called the ‘ Essere Jadid” (new sign of improvement in naval architecture). Itmay be proper to mention that our minister resi- dent, the gallant Commodore Porter, was present, and had much attention paid to him by the Capitan Pacha, who placed a steamer at his di a sent an officer to attend on him. Her dimensions are as follows:— Length between diculars, 196 feet Breadth between paddle boxes, 35" Force of horse power, 300 Number of guns, 24 Weight of gunson Tower deck 12 32 pounders Do do atprer do 10 4% =o Paixhan gun torw: 1 8 do Do do aft 1 & do Just before she was launched, the Sultan received the news of the death of his only son. This is the second one he has lost, and it has caused him much grief as it has again disappointed him in the hope of having an heir to his throne. He and his brother, a young man far superior to him in every respect, are the last of their race. The child just deceased was only three days old, and the shipsof war in the Bos- phorus were dressed in flags and firing salutes for im, when the news of his death was received.— The Sultan secluded himself for the rest of the day in a kiosh back of the navy yard. hi 5 He seems, however, to be already reconciled to his loss, as he may be seen every Friday afternoon during the Ramazan, looking at a multitude of all nations and classes, in arubas, on horseback and an foot, riding and walking in the square before the Grand Vizier’s palace. This is a new and fa- vorite amusement of his wimg, ae month, which is one of tasting and feasting. The ladies are seat- ed in their gaudy arubas, drawn by milk white oxen, gaily decorated with mirrors and worsted tassels, and the men are either on horseback or on foot. The Sultan sits in a window smoking his bow igen and whenever he espies a lady too much in- clined to coquetry, or who as much as shows the tip end of her nose from beneath her yash- mack, he has it torn off on the spot, and every Greek or American Rayah, who presumes to allow his hair to be visible below the edge of his fez, is subjected to the summary po Gee of a razor at the expense of the state. Thus does this sprig of royalty contrive to relieve the tedium of the hours he spends out of his harem. He is a poor enervated creature, worn out by dissipation, in fact, has little more intellect than a child; and is daily losing even that small portion, When he came to the throne, his aunt ted him with thirty beautiful Georgians and Circassians, she had selected and educated expressly for him. ‘ We are daily expecting the arrival here of a stea- mer from Boston, to be ag a in towing vessels through the Dardanelles. ey are frequently de- tained seven or eight weeks at the lower castles, waiting for a fayorable wind to stem the current, which sweeps with such velocity through the straits of Settos and Abydos.
