Reception of General Cass in Cincinnati—His Speech—Remimacences of the Last War—His de- parturefor Detroit. Fareap Bennerr :— You may fee!som. interest, and have a curiosity to learn the particulars in relation to the reception of our distinguished countryman, General Cass, at Cin- cinnati: you will therefore allow me to draw an imperfect outline for your perusal. On the even- ing of the first, learaing that he was to be in town the next day at 3 o’clock, there was a numerous and spontaneous meeting of our citizens at the Court House, for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements for giving him an appropri ate reception. At that meeting, a reception com- mittee of thirty was appointed, of our most distin- guished citizens; headed by the Hon. Jacob Bur- nett, late Senator in Congress; Hon. N.C. Read, one of our Supreme Judges; Hon. David T. Disney, late Speaker of the Senate of Obie, &c. &e. The next morning, at 9 o'clock, the committee met at Col Noble’s Hotel, and made the necessary prepa rations. At12 o’clock, anumber of the committee proceed- ed to the four mile House, on the Columbus Road, carriages, and escorted him to the Corporation ne, one mile north of the city ; where he was met by the independent military of the city, and a host of musin, together with a numeious cavalcade. ot citizens, who eseorted him into town, and to his lodgings, prepared at Noble’s Hotel, where the streets were literally crowded toa “perfect jam,” with ci- tizensand strangers, anxiously, though patiently, waiting to greet his arrival, and that too, although the day wae the most intensely cold of any yet felt in Cincinnati this season! On his way he passed through Main street, in a beautiful black baroucne, drawn by four fine bays; and received the undi- vided attention and greetings frem the shops and windows, as he passed uncovered, respectfully bow- ing at ene peor aaa vans to the admiring ‘multi- tude. On bis arrival at his hotel, he was met by the committee of reception, and handed upon the roz- trum, where the chairman of the committee Hon. D. T. Disney, welcomed him, on behalfof those as- sembled to greet his arrival, and of the citizens ge- nerally ; by the following laconic, well timed ad- dress, as nearly as I could take it down, being one of the auditors in the crowd :— Gewerat Cass—Six : —My fellow citizens have assigned me the agreeable duty of welcoming you on your arrival and of proffering to you, in their name, the hospitali of our city. The performance of which duty gives me unfeigned satistaction, feeling as I do in common with them, that in doing so we only discharge a duty which we owe in common with our sister cities of the east, (who have set us the laudable example.) to one of America’s most distinguished citizens. But more particularly, sir, do we greet your arrival among us,asone of Ohio's pri mitive pioneers, who helped to reclaim her forest: lant the tree of civilization—and culti' rx juris- rudence and social improvement, within her then infant rdera. As an integral portion of the people of Ohio,the citizensof this place, have not forgotzen that it was under the auspices of this State, that you first commenced your public life; and they believe that in your own history,you afford no inapt illustration of her career. Arriving at the age of manhood, about the time when she took her place among her sister States cf the Confederacy, her onward march to greatne: rly represented in cess. Your discharge of the dutics of nister abroad, the people of this State appreciate, and though Said starsand garters to confer, yec they offer you a higher reward, in the approbation of ‘a free and intelligent people. Sir, while in military life you were the pride and boast of the State of your adoption—and since, whi ou have been engaged in earning and gathering the unfading laurels, that compose your civic wreath, we have watche! your course with interest and approbation ; and contemplated your successful career with Teclisgs of ide, as our common countryman, and atill more so, as our fellow citizen of Ohio. ‘The honor, independence and integrity of the American Flag, the people of the United States are determined to uphold at all times and under all circumstances ; and your able defence of these high interest, while at the Court ef France, causes them to te- cognize in you, the true American citizen, and the faith- fal representative of the feelings of the American people. As the organ of the citizens of this place, I therefore bid you welcome. To which Gen. Cass replied :— I was not prepared, sir, for the kind reception 1 have this day met with, and I can do little more than thank you for the manner ia which you have been pleased to aliude to me, and to thank my fellow citizens for the distinguish- ed honor of their regard, which this otcasion has furnish: ed me. Itis about forty years «ince I first visited your city. I was then a resident of Obio, just commencing my active life, and depending for my future success only upon my own industry and the public favov aud confidence. 1 was oue of those pioneers hefore whose exertions the fo- rest to disappear, and the circle of civilization to advance. Thanks to the admirable nature of our institu: tions, which hold out equa! inducements to all, whatever may be their condition in life, 1 found my share of encou- Tagement, and I shell never cease to cherish agreeable recollections of all I owe to my fellow citizens of this State, the State of my early adoption, of much of my edu- cation, and of my entrance upon the career of manhood Some years later I visited yon, in company with a regi- ment of that brave youth, who at the commencement of the last war hastened to piace themselves between their country ond her enemies. And after a long interval, 1 again find myself among you, changed indeed by the du- ties and progress of a busy life, now verging towards its termination, but full of the remembrance of my former re sidence in the State, and full of thanks for the kindness of which I was the object. And I find every thing around me even morechanged than I am myself. When | first came here, this was but a mere village, from whose site the aboriginal savage had been hut recently expelled.— Again | found it but a small town, giving no promise of the wonderful advancement which has sincc taken place. You have now become a large city, a great emporium of trade and business, having commercial relations well esta- blihed with your own country, and with all other parts ofthe world. Human Sey, can neither estimate your Progrest, nor fix the limit it will attain. Te region, of which you are the great mart, is unsurpassed in climate aad fertility, and your exportations are ameng the most valuable results of human labor, always in ind, and capable of almost indefimte extension. Every inhabitant of the western country must regard your future advance- ment with great pleasure, and for myself, if I may be per- mitted te express my individual sentiments, 1 shall never cease to watch with interest your growing prosperity. Alter which, he “ threw all loose,” and received his triends with all the kindness, and familiarity ot atatber. It was truly affecting to witness some of the meetings between him, and some of his old soldiers and companions in arms, many of whom still live here, and hereabouts ; and on hearing that he was coming to the city, gathered in from all quarters. I shall never forget the language, and looks of many of them, on making themselves known to him. The first voice I heard, after he had closed his response, to Mr. Disney, and before he had time to descend from the rostrum, was that an old tottering veteran, who had reached up, and caught him by his cloak, and who cried out, “My Dear General. we were once prisoners or war together ; victim of the perfidy, of the treacherous Hull ” On the otherside of him, another cried eut, atter getting him vy the hand, ** Yes, General, and Ttoo was there with you, and well dol remember of seeing you shed tears, the next morning. Do you not remember, General, the next morning, when we were gathered around you, as our hope, that James —— said to you, ‘Col. Cass do youreally believe that General Hull has played the traitor with ue? To which yoo answered, ‘I know he has Jimmy,Zand then you wept and sodid many of us!" To which the General nodded in the affirma- tive, and with aquivering chin, and moist eye, an swered, “‘letus thank heaven that we are not pri- soners atthis day” There were scores of scenes of thiskind, at the General’s meeting with our vete- ran pioneers, who thirty years ago, took their lives in their hands, and marched with him to the battle field. One more of which, I beg leave to relate, An old Captain, who had served through the Indian wars under General Wayne, and was likewise out with General Cass at the surrender of Hull, still lives among us, though now more than seventy-five, \d for some twenty years has been nearly blind and a cripple; on hearing that the General was coming, hehobbled his way into town upon crutches, and was present; buthad notthe power to elbow his way through the crowd ; he at last sent to him, that his “old friend, Capt. -, Was present, and wished the pleasure of taking his commander by the hand once more.” The General immediately requeated that he might be helped lorward—stepped to meet him, sustaining the old gentleman, and greeted him heartily ; at the same time, listening feelingly and attentively to his tales of misfortanes and sorrows. And after expressing his regret, at seeing so once active aud energetic a man thus time-worn and en- feebied, he with soothing and cheering words, acted the gord Samaritan, poured oil and wine into th® wounds of the, aged veteran! The old man asked the General, if he ‘‘ would visit his cabin and allow him to introdace him to his little family,” to which he consented, and it seemed to lighten np the heavy eye, and give renewed energy to the passive Jimbs of the old soldier. Now, Lknow not how it wae with other persons present, but for myselt, had L come from the utter imost parts of the earth, aod never heard of General jase befere, such acte of sy:npathy, and exhibitions of fine feeling, would have made me love him ; and taught me emphatically, that he was, not only the noble souled philanthropist and patriot, but a great and a good man, At nine o’clock, on Monday morning, the clangor of the horse, and the rolling of martial music, told that the General was about to take leave of the Queen city at which there was a rush, of our citi- zens, to his hotel, to see him depart. Mechanics, artizans, draymen, merchants, bankers, professiona! men and soldiers, came to take him by the hand, and receive his farewell. His lodgings were imme diately beset—every accessible room was filled to overflowing. The General, still in his private apart- ment, on being informed of this, threw on his cloak, came out, and mingled with the crowd, receiving their cheers, salutations, and shakes by the hand.— Formal introductions were utterly out of the ques- tion; he was beset on ull sides, and it was with diffi- culty thatthe military could make their way in front of his lodgings to form the escort, which consisted of Col. Taylor's troopof horse, the Cincinnati Light Dragoons, the Montgomery Gurads and the Morgan Riflemen, The M. Guards in front, the Horse forming a line on the right and left, received the barouche im the centre, and the M. Riflemen closed up the reat, On arriving at the Corporation line (where a stage coach was in waiting t conveyhim on his journey), the military formed into aline on the right—the General came down from the ba- rouche, and passed them in review on foot, unco- vered, followed by the committee, after which the military fired a salute. The General then took leave of the of 78 and commitiee, and proceeded on his journey to Detroit. Yours, truly, D. V. B. Tue Pamapevrnia Tracepy.—We annex very full particulars of the recent awful Heberton tra- gedy, perpetrated in Philadelphia {tis one of the most awful affairs that ever took place in this country. FuatHenr Panticucans or THE LaTE Tracepy —THe Heagaton Vension.— The case appears to be one of a peculiarly aggravated character, if the statements of the young lady’s !riends are to be relied upon implicit statements of Heberton’s friends give the affair, in some re- spects, adifferent aspect. But in every view of the fact we repeat, his conduct is without excuse, if not without palliation. Heberton’s own story was, that he had no knowledge of the absence of Miss Mercer from her father’s house, until informed of the fact by Mr Mercer’s own family. It is aliedged that Mr. Mercer, the father of the young lady, received an anonymous Jeter, eautioning him to “be on his guard against the attentions to his daughter of thet libertine Heberton.” When the letter was received, Miss Mercer was ab-ent, at the house of her brother in-law,and acolored servant was immediately sent for her, but with directions not to communicate the object of the message. These directions, however, were disregarded, for on her way home Miss Mercer was informed of the letter, and told by the servant that “she would catch it.” The youn, lady, it is alleged, alarmed at the communication, fled,an went to the house of an acquaintance, where it is insinu- ated that Heberton bad previously been in the habit of meeting her, and where she supposed he would meet her on thi: asion. In this, it is alleged that she was disap- pointed; and tnat a young lady answering to her descrip. tion, called lateon Monday afternoon, at the residence of Heberton’s mother, in Ninth street near Cherry, and in- quired for ‘Hutch Heberton.” The answer was given that “he had gone out sleighing with his sister and cou- sin ;” and in consequence, she left a mess: is call, on his return, at Mrs. 5, No. About six o'clock on the same evening, it is alleged, that Mr. Singleton Mercer and his brother-in-law, Mr. Quinn, also called at the residence of Mr. Hebertson’s mother, and iuquired for him and was told that he was ab- sent, but that he would be at home at 7 o'clock. At7 they again returned, found him, and at their request, he accom- panied themto Mr. Mercer’s residence, in Queen street. When he entered the door,the mother said to Heberton, “Young man, you have ruined me, and I want my daugh: te le replied, “ Explain yourself, [know nothing ot her.” He entered the parlor, and was introduced to the father by theson. The old gentleman told kim that he hal goed reason to suspect that he had taken his daughter away. This Heberton denied. He was then asked by the father what he knew of her? He replied that he became acquainted with her inthe street and had frequently met her since by appointment. ‘The tather then told him that he must stay there until her return, and that he should then exp.ct him to marry her. _ Heberton replied that he coaid never think of marrying a girl with whom he had become acquainted in the strect. The brother declured that he should stay there and marry her, or he would blow his brains out. Heberton said he had come prepared to defend himself, and he would leave the house that moment. The old gentleman remarked, « My son, he brought him here, and you must let him go when he pleases.” Heberton then asked for a glass of wa- ter, which was fended him by the mother, und saying, “ Good evening, Indies and gentlemen,” he left the honse. ‘This was declared by Heb=rton to be the only time he was ever in the house of Mr. M. The allegation of Heberton was, that he became aequainted with Miss Mercer in Ches- nut street, after nighfalt; that she accosted him with— “How are you, Mr. Bastido 1” That he turned and said, “ Not Mr, Bastido, but Mr Punchinello, or anything elsc you choose to cali me!” That he wa:ked home with her that night, left her at the door, and subsequently met her by appointment on several occasione, On Tuesday morning Heberton was arrested, on com- piaint of young Mercer, and taken before Alderman Mitch- ell. The following is a copy of the oath :— Information—City of Philadelphia, ss., Surely of Peace. —Singleton H. Mercer, of the District of Southark, person- ally appears, this 7th day of February, A.D., 1243, before Joshua Mitchell, one of the Aldermen in and for the city of Philadelphia, who being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that he has just reason to believe that Hutchinson Heberton is about to entice, allre and abduct Sarsh Gard- ner Mercer, a young lady, aged about 16 years, with the intent to seduce her, as this depanent verily believes. (Signed) SINGLETON H. MERCER. Sworn to and subscribed, February 7:h, 1843, before Ald. Joshua Mitchell, about half past 12 0’clock, A. M. Before the examination, Heberton requested permission to obtain counsel, and in company with Singleton H. Mer- cer, left the Alderman’s office, and called on James C. Vandy ke, Esq., whom he engaged es his counsel, and in compuny with whom and young Mercer, he returned to the Alderman’soflice, Mr. Vandyke contended that He- berton conld not be held to bail on the cherge laid in t! warrant, but stated that Heberton was willing and desirou: to have all the facts of the case investigated, as such tes mony could be proluced relative to the ‘pract character of the young lady, as would vindicat thesyesofthecommunity. With his consent the case was postponed until Wednesday, at 11 o'clock, the Alderman juiring bail in the sum of $100.

The fact of the matter is, mother has been to blame, as she has been careless as to what acquaintances Sarah has made—and she has, in consequence, made improper female acquaintances,” the names of some being given. The fother of the young Indy insisted that Hebertou would accompany him home and marry hisdaughter. To this Heberton replied that it was utterly out of the ques- tion, under the circumstances of the case, and with a girl ofhercharacter.

When the servant stepped from the cab, he saw two persons on the side- walk on the opposite corner of the streets, evidently on thewatch. A young man, suppoxed to be Mercer, it is sllodged, while the cab was at the door, came up and spoke to the driver; and after the cab had started, th came perton was discovered on the seat with the driver, by the colored men in charge, ho ordered him down.— He was alterwards seen randing ahead of the cab, and the colored man, suspecting that he was watched, drove around the city, and finally stopped at the corner of Fifth and Walnut, where he deposited the trunks on the steps of the Hotel. He subsequongJy took them to the barber's “ ‘he Recorder, after en wasonly nineteen, and crime, shop, in Fifth, below Walnut, and from thence, on Fri- day, to Mr, Van Dyke's ottice. “ uring the whole of Thursday young Mercer, laboring underthe greatest imaginable excitement at the time, gave strong evidences of a design to wreak his ven- geanceupon Heberton, sought him in the places of his usual resort, but was unable to get any clue to his whereabouts. Atthe timethe trunks were di Jed, @ }erson was discovered apparently on the look-out for ‘their destination, which way no doubt Mercer or his friend, as on that’ night young Mercer was seen, under very excited feelings, in the vicinity of their then loca tion, and by the persuasions of a friend was induced to go away.

Asshe mour ners entered, the crowd totally disregarded them, jostling them aside, and rushing in between them and the coftin.

Larkin cacen acatn:—This gallows jark, who has passed himself off'as the next com- mender of the U. S. brig Somers, as Gabriel Ravel, as.ason of Commodore Porter, and as Lieut. Jas. Wilkes of the Navy, was arrested lust evening about dusk, by officers Sweet and Tappan, at the livery stable of J. J. Cornwall, 46 Green street, “He was committed to the city prison a few weeks since, on a charge of grand larceny and escaped by being let outan straw bail. On the 15th of last month he stepped into the jewellery store of Michael Reese, No. 70 Maiden lane, and selected a yold watch and other jewellery, valued at $118 50, and Tepresente: himeeifas Lieut. Wilkes, of the U.S. Navy. After stating that he had a large amount of money in the Bank of America, he gave his check for $112 and paid the balance, $1 50, in change. The goods were delivered to him, but the check was never paid. At Albany he recently went the rounds of the fancy as Frank Fayard, the celebrated pick- pocket, but was compelled to leave that quarter through the attention that officer Cockefair and others paid to his whereabouts. On his arrival in this city a few years since, he procured by some means a suit of uniform of a lieutenant in the U.S, navy, and since then called upon Mr. Cornwall, livery stable keeper of 46 Green street, and hired a team of horses and sleigh for his recreation. The team and vehicle were returned, but the money for them was not forthcoming. Mr. Cornwall since as- certained his character, and last evening, ashe was passing through Bleecker street, met the gallows bird, and accosted him for the payment of the biil. He admitted it was all right, but said he had no money. Mr. C. induced him to walk to the office attached to his stable, when Larkin smelling a rat, offered a gold pencil and breast pin as collateral se- curity for the debt. The jewellery was received, andy suddenly in stepped Sweet, and secured his man. Arrangements had been made by Justice Mateell to arrest him at another place, where he had previous'y agreed to meet a person with whom he had made abet that it would rain be‘ore dark, and Cockefair was on the look out for him at the time he was caught. On being brought to the po- lice office, and stripping his outside beaver, a full suit of uniform of a lieutenant of the U.S. navy was presented, including cap, button, and strap. The rogue wascommitted for future examination, and persons who have been duped by his arts, had better make immediate complaint at the Lower Po- lice Office? $Joun Tay Lor, THE Bunatar, Arrestep.—In June last it will be remembered thatsome half dozen bur- glaries of harness stores were [committed by three men named James C.

Burns was tried soon after and convicted; Wray, alias Fitzgerald, was con- victed, and Taylor escaped from the city.
