Call, see and buy. Terrible Commotion tn the Party. There is a terrible commotion in the democratic party, both at Albany and New York, and indeed all over the State. The distribution of the spoils by Governor Bouck, has almost split them into ten thou- j sand three hundred and forty-nine pieces and a half. The excitement in this city is awful, and hundreds call for an indignation meeting in the Park, Tam- many Hall, or any where. The “old white horse,” it seems, obeys the whip and spur of the man that may be on his back, for the time being, and the way the “ young democracie” blow him up for want of firmness, is a caution to all sinners. If the whigs now manage their cards well at the approaching spring elections, they may capture the city of New York, and retain it as the centre of their operations for the great campaign of 1844. It is now evident that Governor Bouck, Senator Varian, and the other leaders of the party, have adopted the famous Roman principle of “‘nepotism,” or “ brother-in-lawism,” in their principal appoint- ments. They have considered the rich spoils of the party as a species of family property, belonging to themselves. We like this—we approve this. It is Scriptural and Christian. According to St Paul “he who does not take care of his own household is worse than an infidel.” Governor Bouck, Sena- tor Varian & Co., are no infidels in politics—they are the true believers—the descendants of the Pro- phet—and wear the green cap of Emirs. They be- lieve that all the spoils belong to them, and they are firm in the faith. We say again, we like this strong faith, this abiding belief. Let the whigs manage their cards properly, and they cam carry the city of New York in April next, as easy as it is to take the benefit of the Bankrupt Law, or to cheat a bank or the govern- ment out of hundreds of thousands, and that is easy as lying. £n avant, only read the following letter trem Albany, and jump three feet in the air:— Axsany, Feb. 11, 1843. The Weather—The North Pole—Water Commis. sioners— That Huge Stone on the Receiving Reser- voir—Hunkers—Suckers— Conduct of the Governor and a Noble Senator—The Old Horse Speaks ina Queer Manner—Incapacity of Officers—one can’t Sail a Ship, and t’other never Boarded a Vessel— Grand Reception of a Noble Senator. Dsar Srrn— My news will be so late, and so far behind the in- telligence which you must have derived threugh the medium of Pomeroy’s express, that I can hardly hope to see your types used to spread it before the world. Ah, those types! what mischievous things they are when used with an evil intent, and how lit- tle dosome of your editorial fraternity seem to know what a cledge hammer they are wielding, or what an instrument of torture they are using, when the machinery of the press is setin motion. But what, you may ask, has all this to do with the weather and politics in this latitude’ Nothing, tobe sure. In this northern region, I do in reality think that instead of being just one hundred and forty-five miles north from New York city only, we are living in the latitude ot the North Pole, in the midst of a winter of unapproachable severity. To say that we can feel the cold here, is a milk and water expression, and conveys no meaning what- ever. Sir, I venture to say you can see it—it is so palpable and so sensible to sight as well as to touch. And the snow, too, is so white, and so prisniatic, so chrystalized, and so frigid, that one gets the hor- rors in merel: looking at ul, guarded as he may be, and as Teel am at this moment, by the double sashes of Landon’s princely Congress Hall. 5 “What do you think of the New York appoint- ments?” is a question put to me very often. I can hardly find words to reply to this pregnant question. To say I donot like them at all weuld be to tell an ‘inleich as unnecessary as uncalled for. The sub- stitution of Stephen Allen, and the rest of the original Water Commissioners, in place of Samuel Stevens, and the rest of his cligue, is an act of pure yusice which no sane man would object to; and as a parallel act of justice, I look to see that foolish stone, that idiotie block of granite, that now rests over the portal of your magnificent Croton reservoir, removed with all speed, and a simple entabiature, containing the words, “Built by the City of New York,” engraved thereon, instead of the words which convey the high reaching and dishonest idea that that stupendous work was erected by Sam’! Ste- vens, Benj’n Birdsall, Zebedee Ring, John D. Ward and Samuel R.Chids. If, however, Stevens and Co., will pay the shot—I mean the twelve millions of water debt—out ot their own pockets, | dare say the dear people, and the dear landlords, wou'd be aite willing to delay displacing‘‘that mighty stone.” But the people must pay after all for that magnificent project, and the sooner yougive them the water at the corners of every street, free as air, the sooner will you earn the name of “The City of Fountains,” which has been very aptly, and with a just apprecia- tion, bestowed in advance upon your vast hive of human beings. I have nothing further to say of the Water Com- missioners, or your millions of hogsheads of water lying stagaant and idle, and utterly useless, beneath your pavement, and “ all underground,” as Paddy Power would say; but occasionally ‘* bursting up,” merely to show its inclination to be active and ‘* up and doing.” the water purveyors, and the water commissioners, and your whole whig corporation to the contrary notwithstanding. You know, I sup- pose, that we in Albany are maturing a project for the introduction of a comous supply of water into our city. The capital will then rival you in that re- pes and the waters of the Cahoes will thus be “‘de- flected” to some good purpose, as you may reasona- bly presume. these are great and wonderful projects, and are worthy of any State, or any nation. In short, I think there is hardly any thing that does not bear the stamp of majesty in America except your “‘ mousing politicians,” your ‘ hunkers,” and your “ suckers,”gas you call them. I do not just “* praceesly” understand what is meant by those precious terms: but I have formed a picture of my own as to their import, and in another corner you will see the etching. It is only a charcoal sketch, you will perceive; but the idea is this, and you may convey the same on paper to your engraver, if you like, and through him to your readers. Thwre, sir, ina half recumbent posture, you see a hungry, Cas. sius looking varmint, squatting on his “ hankers,” as the chivtion call it, too lazy to stand up or to walk, but with an abundant energy of his right arm in holding up his dish to catch the pap, and other suction, which seem to rain rather promiscuously trom the clouds; while you can almost hear him smack his lips with delight as he enjoys the miracu- Jous feed, which seems to descend in the form of manna, and become ingulfed in his upturned “suck er,” much after the manner of an Italian Lazzaroni, sucking macaroni lubricated with oil, ora Naragan- set indian sucking down soft shelled clams dipped inspermacetti. Suck, my dear sir, is a faint outline of the reality of a “sucking hunker: Add to this, if you please, that he is always hungry, a vampire for office, a public beggar, a nuisance, ever present when loaves and fishes are distributed, and forever absent when his party require bis personal or pecu- niary aid in days of trial, and, I think you may have the portrait lithographed and distributed to the de- scendants of the horseleech’s daughter, many of “which” I have recently seen prowling about the Capitol. What a scattering of the faithful took place tother day! As soon as the appointments were made for your city, “‘sucha gettin’ upstairs,” such a pack- ing up of duds in the hotels ‘‘you never did see!”— Why, sir, that “old white horse” spoke at last, and never was Balaam more astonished than were your friends, when he opened his mouth and spake the words of fate. His Excellency sent into the Senate the following list:— Conner, for Por and Pearl Ashes, Riell, tor Tobacco, Vache, for Health Officer, among a long list of other names for imp stations; and if I remember right,that of Mr. Coach man for one of the Port Wardens. Well, sir, after lying upon the Senate table some two or three days, these persons were found to be vastly improper men for their several stations, by Senutor Varian, as it is said; and the Governor, that stern old white horse, withdrew them on various pleas, and substi- tuted others. Now what would you give to hear the alleged pleas? By St. Paul, they are eminently curious und incontrovertible; and here you may have them, at the full worth thereof. As for in- stance, Senator Varian had a brother-in-law,named Stevens, who never held office, never heid up his hat, never sucked macaroni, neverfed at the public crib, @ poor man, no inheritor of dirty acres; ana this man’s name was sent in, in the place of Mr Jar Conner, whom the Democracy know and esteem, and who has time and again teught under its sacred baaner, and paid his hundreds of dollars many and many a time in support of the cause. But my brether in-law is paramount. | am Senator, and @ man is worse than a Hoitentet if he don’ care of his kindred. Put this in your pipes an smoke it, ye subterra seans? You will not forget it. But wale g0 on with excuses. ae ne tobac- const, belonged to ‘boys. ‘aché never boarded a ship, and that wes enough for him; but he also is a little too radical, and with the rest of the boys, belongs to that ‘ot democrats who don’t sand any d—d norwense. Poor Conchman ! Tfor- get what was the raatter with him ; butI think he had never commended a ship in the European trade, orhad merely been a coaster or a wrecker! so he tiad the wind taken out of bis sail by one Tittlebat ‘or another. By the way, we sadly want a New York Directory here, because candidates come up in tach shoals for tlee big fodder, that we would like to ee whether they have a “ local habitation” as well sa‘ name.” Give my respects to Dr. Vaehé, and tell him that Saford will move in @ day or two to bring in a bill to equalize the pay of the health cor- missioners, so that instead of the ‘boarding officer getting some ten or twelve thousand dollars, it will be quietly divided by three ; and you may tell him also that Mr. James Thompson threatens to “ keep it before the people.” But, sir, what will you say to your honorable Se- nator, the creator of all thir, mischief, when he re- turus to you. to render au account. of his steward- ship Ul you open the doors ef the old Wigwam, and forma lane of the ‘* unterrified,” and the “ un- wastied,” and the “subterranean,” from the park to the Sachem’s Seat, and invite that honorable gentleman to take a walk in that same lane, and look ** the boys” he face? How the cry of “room for Varian,” “ place for the Senator,” will go up from their rude threats! And how calmly they will take him ie the right hand; and how they will hug hin in their greasy embrace! Won't they, my darling? And when he leaves that sacred old hall, won't they open the lane again, and cry “Room for Varian,” and ‘* Place for the Senator?” How Old Tammany will shake again with the wel- come of its faithful and honorable Senator; and perhaps he would do well to bring his favored rela: tive along with him, with his dish and his spoon, and his sucking machinery, and then, perhaps, you will give hima taste of Por Asu. PorvtaR Hariequins.—The clowns in the circus have not got all the world of fun to themselves. For the tritling sum of a shilling a head, the public can witness the keen encounter of wit, and refined gla- diatership of respectable merry-andrews at the Ta- bernacle, every other night in the week. John Gos- sin and Mr. Wells should look to their laurels. — Horace Greeley, John Neal, and Colonel Stone, all in one night, present an uncommon attraction 3 and the decision between the merits of the antics of the “‘Devouring Ogre” and Park Benjamin’s disserta- tions on the rights of woman, may well “give us pause.”” It is positively mysterious how these “ Debates” at the Tabernacle, happen to be attended by crowds of intelligent ladies and gentlemen. The taste of the age has, however, become quite too refined to tolerate such things asthe plays of Shakspeare, and the pleasant teachings of Sheridan and a hundred others, who softened the manners and purified the current of pablic thought, whilst they sent their will- ing disciples away, not with heavy hearts, but sides aching with laughter. Nothing is suited to the su- perior enlightenment of this glorious era, but nam- by-pamby notions on the ‘Genius of the Age,” or the “‘ Diviniity of Humanity,’ and school-boy dis- putations on the worn out themes of the juvenile de- bating societies, for the improvement of public speaking. Is it at all wonderful, that under such tu- ition our masters and misses and the “ children of a larger growth,” should be making such rapid ad vances in philosophy, morals, and religion ? Is it strange that truth and virtue should be sitting under the willows, and common sense be fast retreating befere the practical folly and error of ageneration so wiee in their own conceit ? Tue Somees Casz.—Charles Van Velser and Eu- gene Sullivan, two of the boys confined for alleged participation im the mutiny oa board the Somers, were yesterday brought before Judge Greenwood of Brooklyn, on a writ of habeas corpus. The ground on which their release is sought, is, that Commander McKenzie failed to comply with the provision in the laws for the regulation of the Navy, which re- quires all persons put in confinement, to be furnished witha copy of the charges against them at the time of their arrest. These prisoners have been in con- finement since the 14th of December last, and have not yet been furnished with any charges. Judge Greenwoad postponed his decision till this day at 4 o’clock, in order to allow the District Attorney time to prepare his defence, and show cause for the con- finement of the boys. Mopern Minactes.—It is not easy to fathom the depth of hunsan credulity. The attempt has, how- ever, Just been made by a respectable Roman Ca- tholic publishing house in this city. The instrument by which these gentlemen are determined to sound the ‘‘ vasty deep” of the gullibility of their religious brethren, is in the form of a pamphlet, purporting to contain a “Letter from the Earl of Shrewsbury, de- scriptive of the estatica of Caldara, and the Addolo- rata of Capriana.” One of these “ Virgins of the Tyrol,” is represented as having lived for the last eight years without having ate, drank, or slept, and exhibiting in her person a perfect fac simile to the wound inflicted on the person of the Saviour in his crucifixion! The other presents, it is stated, pretty much the same appearances—the marks of the crown of thorns, the wounds in the side and hands and feet —she communes only with heaven and the angels, and has lived for six or seven years on a few grapes. Such is the ridiculous and blasphemous story, which is gravely spun eut to nearly one hundred pages, and thrust before the public as an accredited publication of the Catholic Church. The enlight- ened clergy of that persuasion should do all in their power to discountenance such a clumsily construct- ed imposture, unless they mean to be regarded as its god-fathers. New Nover.— Francis of Valois, or the Curse of St. Valliar”’—a thrilling tale of the middle ages, by the accomplished author of ‘Marian de Lorme,” has just been published, and is forsale at the Herald Literary Depot—price 12} cents. This is decidedly one of the most interesting novels of the day. It is full of the most stirring incidents, and the power and effect with which the story is managed are remark- ably striking. It is founded on one of the drameso! Victor Hugo, entitled ‘ Le Roi d’Amuse,” which was produced in 1832, at the Theatre Frangais, and suppressed by a ministerial order. Tne Broapway Cottage Rurrian.—We believe it is a fact that Dingler,who wasconvicted of the hor- rible outrage at the Broadway Cottage, has not yet made his escape from the Tombs, where he still re- mains. Why has he not been sent to the State pri- son before this ? Eartnquakk at Sea.—The captain of the ship Emma, at this port, from Bremen, experienced three distinct vibrations on the 16th of January, at 19 A.M. Each lasted about twenty seconds.

Mr. Welch has hit the right vein of puolic sentiment, and is now pursuing a career of success hitherto unrivalled for brilliancy and pecuniary reward ——_ CuatuaM THratre.—The new play entitled the “* Miser’s Daughter,” was well received last night by avery respectable audience. It is one of the best things produced this season, and if a talented stock company, embracing some of the first favorites of the day, can give effect to the productions of an author, this piece will have a good run, and the worthy manager amply rewarded for his liberal out- lay of labor and expense in producing it in a suitable manner, It will be repeated this evening, in con- nection with other novelties, Trial of Commander McKenzie. Eveventu Day—Fxp. 13. The Court met at the usual hour, and the exami- nation of Lieutenant Gansevoort was resumed. Nothing new was elicited, except that Mr. Ganse. voort swore that he thought Cromwell intended to throw him overboard immediately before the exe cution, from the fact of his seiztng his (Mr. Gs) arm very firmly, when he protested that he was in- nocent; and also that Spencer did not deny that he had been handling one of the battle axes when he was in confinement,and that he said he done it “in pastime.” We give the cross-examination of this witness by the Judge Advocate. First was :onvinced of the necessity of the exe- cution of Spencer and the other two when we had more prisoners than we could take care of, and was more firmly convinced of it after the examination before the council of officers. Q —Do you know if Spencer applied to be de- tached from the Somers before she sailed ? A.—1 believe he did so apply. The commander teld me he would forward his application. Q.—Do you know if the officers of the Somers were cautioned by Capt. McKenzie against an inti macy with Mr. Spencer? A.—Not to my knowledge. Q.—Was Mr. Spencer, on the 26th of November, cageged in the usual duties of an officer of his sta- on. A.—Yes, except when he was in the foretophaving the India ink printed into his arm. I observed no ether unofficer like conduct, except his look to mr on the Jacob’sludder. It is not unusual for a young officerto be in the foretop when not on watch. | believe half the crew were in the mid watch, except the idlers, they are inthe watch bill, but not on deck. I think the watches were four, and that Mr. Spencer and Mr. Rogers would have been in the mid watch on the night of the 30th. Q.—When did you first hear Wales say that Spen- cer called out to him, ‘what the devil are cruizing about there?” and did he swear to it before the council of officers? This question was objected to, and the Court cleared. On ourre-admission it was answered by the witness. A.—He swore to what is written down, but I do not know if that is part of his evidence. é Q:—When did you first hear of the exclamation having been made to Wales? _A. I heard of it, but do not remember at what time; when Wales told me that Mr. Heiskill want- edto see meI walked down below immediately, throug’ the fore hatch. Q.—When Capt. McKenzie told you he doubted the existence of the plot because the crew were in a good state of discipline, did you eay any. thing to gainsay that opinien as to the discipline of the si ip) A.—I really don’t recollect; 1 asked him if I should see Mr. Wales and get from him the story Q.—How long have you known Mr. Spencer? A —From the time he came on board the brig. Q.—How long was that before she sailed? A.—The log book will show. Q.—Had you any conversation with Capt. Mc- Kenzie as to whether it was desirable to get rid ot Mr. Spencer before you sailed, and what was your opinion. _ _ A.—I think we had, and that ] ordered the get- ting rid of him for this reason—we had no accom- modations to make him comfortable. i Q.—Did not Capt. McKenzie express objection to the associating of Mr. Spencer with his, Capt. Me- Kenzie’s relations, and connections? 4 —I don’t recollect that he did. Q.—If the same story had been told by the Pur- ser’s ateward of any other officer, would you have advised the ironing of him without first telling him what was said of him? A.—If I had the same reason to suspect any other officer T would have pursued the same course. Q.—At the arrest of Mr. Spencer did the Captain tell him he had heard of the plot trom Mr. Wales? A.—I am not certain what was said; | believe _my manner to Mr. Spencer was stern and commanding when I ordered Mr. Spencer to come out from among the officers, that I might disarm him. . The Jupce ApvocarE puta number of other ques- tions, which we have not reported, as they did not elicit any new or important fact in relation t6é the tragedy. The Court adjourned at 3 P. M. Tie Apuction Case.—We find inthe last “Nor- folk Herald,” the fellowing article on the move- ments of Cnarles F. Miller and his wife :— Tur Aspuctiox Arratn.— The notoriety already given to the curious and somewhat romantic case of Mr. Charles F. Miller and his wife, by the publication of the legal pro: ceedings in the New York papers, will be our apology for a briefnotice of matters which only concern individu. als in private life. The history of the case was given ix our last, frem a New York paper. Thecouple arrived here on lhursday morning, attend- ed by agentleman, (a friend ofthe lady,) and put up at French’s Hotel, where she became an object of interest and attention to the families of several navy officers, per- manent boarders at that establishment. The circumstances relative to her mvoluntary appearance in this place were soen ascertained, as wel! from the public prints as from her own recital of them, which corroborated the state. ments of the former,except as to the fact of the reconcilia tion, which she stated could only take place with the con. sentof her friends; that it was the determination of her husband to compel her to go with him from this place to the West Indies, to which she expressed, in the most sen- @ manner, her utter repugnance, and appealed to the 'y gentlemen, in Whose families ‘she had found much Kindness and attention, for protection. This was readily promised, and fulfilled in a manner highly creditable to them. Their first step was to take judicial advice, and by its guidance they were enabled to take the proper legal measures to protect the lady from violence and secure her rights. They apprised Mr. Miller of their proceed- ings, and urged hiin to return with his wife te her friends in New York, to which he finally consented, and the couple appeared to be, as we stated yesterday, “entirely reconciled.” On Tuesday morning the father of Mr.C. F. Miller ar- rived by the Baltimore steamer, and, it appears, that in consultation with hissen, it was determined they should fo to the West Indies in the brig Trio, just ready to sail for Guadaloupe, instead ot returning to New York. The lady, too, it seer's, had been prevailed upon by specious arguments and ‘representations to change her mind, and being induced to believe that there existed a necessity for her going to the West Indies, out of which good would grow, had yielded her consent—and in spite ofthe remonstrances of her generous protectors at the ho. tel, she suffered herself to be conducted on board the brig on Tuesday afternoon. One of the gentlemen who had heretofore befriended her, accidentally became possessed of information which left no doubt on his mind, that the object in getting her off tothe West Indies wasa sinister one, and involved dark surmises and susp nd he resolved that go she should net. According’ had an interview with the lady on board the brig, and caused her te change her in tention of going to the West Indies. He then returned to the hotel f the evening, where he and the other gentle. men who had so kindly interested themselves in her behalf remonstrated with the senior Mr. Miller against sending the lady to the West Indies; and the subject was talked over, and the consequences and probable results in case of the death of the lady, discussed without reserve on their part, and not without effect; for about ten o'clock, Mr. M senr., went on board the brig himself, and returned with the lady—and yesterday, he with his son and wife, sailed for New York ‘in the packet schooner Empire. We have foreborne to enter into minute particulars, as they transpired within the precincts of the private circle, belong not to the public. The general outline of the case we have already given to our readers—the marriage ix years of Mr. C. F. Miller to the adopted daughter of Dr. Wells, an aged and wealthy gentleman —the death of Dr. W. without a wi thi of anote of Dr. gery—his prosecution for the forgery — and applying for a divorce, &c. gs Philadelphia. [Correspondence of the Herald.} Parapevruia, Feb. 13, 1848. Dear Srr:— re The terrible retribation visited upon the head of young Heberton, has excited a great feeling in our community Both he and the perpetrator of the act, Singleton Mercer, were of highly respectable and wealthy families, and many false rumors are in circulation with regard to the parties; but the facts connected with this case, as faras I have been able to ascertain them, are briefly these, and they may be depended upon as authentic. Hutchinson He- berton, was a young man without any regular oc- cupation, of a dissipated turn of mind, having the reputation of a “roué ;” he met with the sister of Mercer some time since, and [each resolved on her destruction, at least he boasted that he would ruin her. To effect this he invited her, during the late snow, to a sleigh ride, and driving into the country, induced herto drink punch until she was ina condition in which he might effect his without resistance. Having accomplished this, he brought her to a house of bad character ia Pine, near Twelfth street, where she remained several days, her family being much alarmed at her ab sence ; at the end of five days she returned to her home, disgraced and ruined, stating that she had been induced to remain away so long, by the reite- rated promises of Heberton to marry her; the bro- ther, Singleton, immediately called upon Heberton, and insisted upon his immediate marriage to his sister. The proposal was treated with scern by the now satiated seducer, and the brother then chal lenged nim. Cowardly as guilty, he refused to fight, (for no conscientious reasons could be pleaded by a man _ whose whole life was a violation of conscience.) Upon receiving his refusal to fight, the brother resolved to adopt the only course which conld wipe out the disgrace to the sis- ter and revenge the dreadful insult offered to his fa- mily. He watched his an ortunity, and Heberton leaving the city by way of Camden with his law °' S.C. Vandyke, Feq, ad for a shooting expe- dition, was, when within low water mark on the Jersey side, while in the carriage in which he re- mained during the passage of the boat across the tiver for the purpose of concealment, shot by Mer. cer, with one of Colt’s six barrel pistols, four shots being fired, and only one taking eflect—passing through the; lower lobe of the, left lung and perecar, dium, and lodging in the fleshy part of the left ven- triele of the heart. He died instantly, uttering, ac- cording to the evidence of the coachman, only a sigh. Movoer lnstoaeintely. gave himself up to the authorities, aud is now in oodbary jail, bail bens refused. David Paul Brown and F. W. Hubbell, Esqs., are engeged as his counsel, and by their ad- vice, he refuses to answer any questions upon the subject of the attack, although upon other subjects he is cheerful and even jocular, feeling that he would ina similar manner if again called upon by like cumstances. The community of this side of the river, almost to a man, justify the act; but in Jer- sey, where his trial will take place, the teeling is tar different, and itis unfortunate it should have oc curred there. Some idea of tke feeling in the neighborhood of Camden may be gathered from the fact that, the coroner's jury alien sat upon the body vesterday, found a pent of “ malicious, wilful and dejiberate murder against Singleton Mercer,” while I haye not been spoken to by one person in Philadelphia who did not justify the act. The body of Heberton was brought to the city yess after- noon, and it is t ht willbe buried privately. ‘That angelic little actress, the charming Miss Alexina Fisher, has returned to the city, and is en- gaged with Burton at the Walnut street.

General Sessi Fen.13.—Result of a Row at a Porter House.—Six young men, named Daniel Van Buskirk, William Downing, Da- vid Barkley, John Miller, Edward Miller and William Martin, were tried for entering the German porter house of John Kersting, 217 Blvecker street, on the 29th of De. cember, and behaving in a riotous manner, beating Kerst- ing, and breaking all sorts of things within their reach.— Awitness named Philip Daniel, a good-natured lookin; German, who lives with Kersting, was called to the stand, who testified as follows: “I sboke Anglish verrys but will rather have some one to explain who sboke Ger- man.” ‘The District Attorney requested him to proceed, which he did as tollows : ‘Witness.— Vel, then] comes home to pring some victuals for Crismus, and! eats my sooper and I goes into the lettlehouse ia the yard, ant T heart’a noise ant the cry of vatch, vatch, murder, fire, and J runs into the house and saw these whole six. One ofthem struck me on the out- ide, and that one there another one struck me on the :in- ide, and slapped theold man up so and the other down so, and he bled a pint, ‘and was laid up eight days.” ‘The Jury found them all guilty, and ordered them to be ed $10 each, nd committed until paid. Sentence of Honora Shepherd.—At the conclusion of this trial, this woman, recently convicted of forgery in the second degree, in having a @ quantity of count feit money in her possession, and who afterwards escay from the city prison, and was recaptured on Saturdsy night, was brought up for sentence. ‘he Racorper stated that she had been convicted of fos an the second degree alter a fair and imparti trial, in which she was defended by uble counsel ; t! such conviction met the hearty concurrence of the Ceurt, and that she had been known, tcgether with her whole family, as dealers in counterfeit money for many yous past, and as distributors of bad money among bundreds, many of whom have found their way to the state prison. He said it was rare that this Court could oUtain conviction ofthe leading offenders of this nefarious business; but whenever they did, they should make an example thet would tend to deter others from following their example. That nearly all the connections of the prisoner had been sentenced to our State prison for similar offences, and for the purpose of placing her where she would be a relief to of perjury, in giving evidence in a trial in the Marine Court, on the 16th embcr, 1941, in a suit between Downing Graves and John Shepherd, to recover the sum of $63,21, alleged to be due by Shepherd.

Deceass or Commopore Huti.—We regret to be called upon to note the decease of this distinguished officer, which took place alter a short iliness, at his residence in this city, at an early hour this morning. The name and tame of Hull are alike fa- miliar and dear to his pountyymen. On the long roll of our naval heroes 1s inscribed no brighter name. e first taught the world that the arrogunt title of “Mistress of the Seas,” assumed by Great Britain, was but an empty name when she encountered the Yankee seamen with any thing approaching to an even force His victory over the Guerriere impart- rd aconfidence much needed at the time, by the disastrous issue of our land affairs. In England, when the strange rumor reached them, that one o! their best ships, commanded by one of their “ best and bravest,” and manned by a picked crew, had struck to asmaller force of the aespised Yankees, incredulity prevented belief. Soon, however, rumor became confirmed into reality, and the deed of “Hull and the Constitution” created a spirit of emu- lation in our little navy, which soon rendered it the pride and boast of its country.
