An amendment was then put that a member should not receive but at the rate of $6 a day for mileage between the end of one session and the be- ginning of another, unless he has actually travelled the entire distance charged. This is to prevent constructive journies. Arnotp—That’s a good amendment. be agreed to. 107 yeas—carried. Then came up the amendment to pay no Senator or Representative when absent from Genser ex- cept from sickness of himself or family, or by leave of the House ! and in all such cases he must have a check cr certificate, to show for proof. Mr. Moore moved to strike it all out. ®Cries of “no, no”—* yes, yes.” Mr. Moort moved to strike out the whole bill, and insert $7 a day and $4 for 20 miles of travel. This was lost. Mr. Briaas said something ; but I could not hear a word, though only twelve feet from him. He moved to strike out something. Half a dozen members moved to strike out parts, and all were talking at once. Everett moved to strike out, after the word “sickness,” the words “himself or family, or by leave of the House.” Lond cries—“ Read, read, read it altogether.” It was then read, and such a mess of contradicto- ty stuff you can have ao possible conception of — It read that no “Senator should be allowed pay for absent tae unless he was absent from the Senate by leave of the House of Representatives.” A Memper—That must be altered—that won’t do, by G—d. The Senate is not a House. A Memper—It ain't, eh? Whatis it, then? If it ain’t a House, it must be out of doors! The bil read also “‘ provided that he shall receive $6 for every 20 miles for mileage, provided that he shall receive nothing whatever for mileage, except the actual cost of travel, provided that he shall never receive more than $6 a day for mileage, provided that he shall never receive more than $300 for any mileage, provided that he shall receive no mileage whatever. ‘ Mr. Evererr’s motion to strike out “ himeelf, or family, or by leave of the House.” Lost. Mr. Roosrverr moved to strike out ‘ House,” and insert ‘‘ Senate or House.” Shouts of “ No, no; go on.” Mr. Gitmer,bringing forward Mr. Hastines—The gentleman, sir, rose three times to make a motion, and couldn’t. (Roars of laughter.) Cuarr—Gentleman from Ohio. Mr. Hastines moved the following :— Strike out all after the word “assembled” in the second line, and insert that from and after the commencement of the present session, on the Sth day of December last, and henceforward, each member ot the of Representa- tives and Senate of the United Stat: ul receive during the sessions of Congress, six doll: day, and four dollars for every 20 miles of travel by usual routes, to and from the seat of government; and that each member of future Gongresses, on taking the oath to support the constitution of the United States, do, at the same time, pledge his honor, in presence of the House or Senate, to’ which ever he may belong, that he will strictly confine the franki § privilege in his own person, to the exercise of bis ial duties, but may extend it in the broadest liberty to giving every information through pubiic documents,and all other matter in his capacity of representative, to his constitu- ents and the ceuntry. And be it further enacted, That from and after the pas- sage of this bill, the private soldiers of the army of the United States, and the sailors and marines ofthe navy of the United States, shall have one deilar a month added to their present Pay. And be itfurther enacted, That all laws, or parts -of laws conflicting with this act, be, and the same are here. by repealed. Wisr—I callfortellers. _ Arnotp—Is that in order, sir? Cuarr—Not the least part, certainly. Wise—Why, that’s the best of it. Laughter.) Anrnoip—It’s a substitute for the entire bill. Wisx—No! only for the first section. Arnoip—It’s not in order to strike out all after -he enacting clause, till we’ve gone through the whole bill. Mr. Hastines’ amendment was rejected. Mr. Moore—I move to strike out $6, and make the pay $7 aday. Cries of ‘no, no.” This was rejected. : Mr. Moorr—I move to strike out the first pro- viso. ‘This was lost. Wise—I move to strike out $6 a day, and make it $4 wherever $6 occurs. (Laughter.) Loud cries of ‘no, no.” “Tellers.” ah! oh! ah! Bah!” ‘Tellers reported ayes 56, noes 82. Lost. (Great id laughter, and confusion and excitement.) WLER—I move to strike ou! $6 and insert $5. of “no! ah! oh! no! Bah! oh!” (Roars of laughter, and cries of “go it ye cripples,”) Mr. Pexnteron—I move the committee rise.— (Roars of laughter.) A, Memner—Why, we havn’t got through the first section yet. (Laughter.) The motion to rise was carried. Ayes 83—Noes 63! (Amid roars of laughter.) The Speaker took the chair. 3 Unperwoop (gravely)—The Committee of the Whole, sir, have had under consideration House.

(Scream of terrific laughter, and crow- ing, and every kind of confused sounds. ) Here twenty or thirty members tried to present papers, but the uproar was so great I could under- stand nothing. At last I heard a loud voice shout “* Move—House—adjourn”—and then came a terri. fic shout of ‘‘ Aye!” and it being nearly 5 o'clock and the House having been in session six hours, the members rushed out furiously. And so ended this day’s spree! Down East Norton.—A tea party has just come off at Faneuil Hall, Boston, which was attended by over four thousand ladies and gentlemen. The ob- ject was to raise funds for some charitable institu- tion Wetcn'’s Crreve.—The popularity of this ,truly magificent establishment continues unabated.

The famous, notorious, curious, wonderlul **Koonskin Kongress” begins to shine with great brilliancy as it approaches its latter end. For seve- ral dayspast,the scenes in.the House of Representa- tives have been rich in wit, humor, sarcasm, sense, nonsense, reform, and economy. The report of their doings and sayings which we give to-day, is perfectly wnique in the history of ‘human nature. Not Shakspeare, or Aristophanes, or Rabelais, or Burns, or Beranger, or Dickens, ever sketched off a fancy picture that was so full of ongi- nality asthe simple reports of the ‘“Koonskin Kon- gress.” Yet, with all this fun, and humor, and folly, and wit, and eloquence, there is a vein of sound so- ber sense at bottom, that breaks out beyond all the more laughable absurdities of the day. The House have cut down the New York Custom House. Good. They have reduced nearly all salaries, with some few exceptions ot the highest and lowest, full 20 per cent trom present rates. Goodagain. Let the Senate follow uy these measures, and good will come out of Nazareth. A mixture of wit and good sense, fun and philo- sophy, humor and humbug, are the great traits of the age. These rare elements were joined together by nature, and let no piece of dry rot, in the shape of aman, render them asunder. Thisfamous Con- gress will close its brilliant labors about the time that the millennium begins, according to Prophet Miller’s calculation. Anotuern BuLiet In THE Catr.—Quite a rich scene took place yesterday in the Superior Court, between Charles O'Conner, a talented member of the bar of this city and the gallant Col. Webb, of the Wall street press, during the progress of the great Lispenard will case. We refer our fashionable readers to the report in another column, for the particulars of this fatal but accidental rencontre, in which our good friend, the Colonel, received his formidable antagonist’s shot, not in the calf of the leg, but in a part equally soft and pliable. Our gallant friend, however, bore his mishap with great courage and long suffering, with- out a word of reply ; he was out in the afternoon as fresh as ever. Itis now certain that Charles O’Con- noris a much more accurate shot, and takes much better aim than the Hon. Tom Marshall. Col. Webb will bear evidence of the fact. But as the rencon- tre was accidental, no challenge being passed, the affair is entirely unindictable and thus is ended. Apropos—This Lispenard will case is beginning to create agreat interest. The court room was a per- fect crowd. Tue Late Syow Srorm.—The truth of the old adage, that the “ winter will not rotin the sky,” has been fully verificd lately. The gale came from the North East, with a thick snow, and we fear great damage has been sustained by vessels on the coast, as the storm extended agreat distance North and South. In the interior, gales have been very severe. We learn from Geneva, that on Friday last, one of the steamboats lying at the wharf was sunk, and a large warehouse undermined by the waves. About two thousand bushels of wheat, a quantity of flour, and other produce, was pitched into the lake. Musicat.—Niblo, the very Napoleon of refined amusement, is again in the field—see advertise- ment. He announces to-day that on Tuesday next, his Concerts d’hiver begin, at which Mrs. Sutton, Signor De Begnis, Martini, and a very splendid Ger- man band unite their several talents. Tickets 50 cents, to suit the state of the times. Congress has just cut all salaries down 20 per cent—but Niblo beats Congress, and cuts down his admission 50 per cent. .We have no doubt these Concerts will be well attended. Butwer’s New Novev.—This long expected work, the ‘ Last of the Barons,” has just been pub- lished simultaneously by the Harpers, and by Win- chester. The former's edition is sold for 25 cents— the latter’sat 12} cents. Thename of the author is of course sufficient to make the novel sell. Both editions are for sale at the Herald Literary Depot. Pacxet Suir Norra America.—Reports from this ship are favorable, and if the weather contin- ues good the whole of her cargo will be saved in good order. The hull remains sound, and after dis: charging her cargo it is probable she may be float: ed off at high tide, as she stands nearly upright. More Foreian News.—The steam ship Acadia, Ryrie, sailed from Liverpool for Boston on the 4th inst. She has therefore been out fourteen days, and must be looked for hourly. She will bring twenty-four days later news. Albany. [Correspondence of the Herald.] Aupany, (Wednesday) Feb. 14, 1843. We have just passed through one of the most se- vere snow storms of even this stormy winter. It commenced on Monday and continued down to this morning, leaving the ground covered to the depth of 26 or 30 inches,’and rendering the roads al- most impassnble. Two or three New York mails are now due, and but forthe enterprise and perse- verance of the Express lines, we would be a week behind in New York intelligence. In the Legislature, for the last three days, al- though there has been a large amount of talking done up, but little real business has been attended to. Mr. Dickinson is still endeavoring to immor- talise himself with his wonderful and most search- ing and acute resolutions of inquiry, but as yethe meets with but little success. i pies the Senate about three-fourths of their time.— To-day they were debating the bill providing for the reduction of the salaries of certain officers The principle isthe right one, but some of the details of the bill, perhaps, might be modified, and thereby render it more beneficial and just \n its operation.— Some of the salaries are le{t too high, while others again are cut down entirely too low. Should the measures relative to the inspection laws, now under consideration in the Legislature be carried into eflect—the newly appointed officers will not have such tat pickings after What do you think of a reduction of about one half in the amount of perquisites. Tn the Assempcy quite a dust hasbeen kicked up on the subject of J. R. F. Jones’s report on the Vir- ginia question. It isa little too bad, isn’t it, that this report, the result of so much labor and penetrating investigation on the part of its celebrated author, should be thus cavalierly treated ? It appears that after the objections that had been urged against it, Mr. Jones went to the printers, and materially alter- ed the language of his report, Biving it @ thorough expurgation. To this the whigs object, on the ground that the report, as read to the House, having been ordered printed, it was beyond the control of its author, and he therefore had no right to alter it, &c. &c. It will be a warning, it is to be hoped, to such of our legislators, who look at every thing through the medium of party, and cannot forbear, even ina document of so momentous and general an impor- tance as this one on the Virginia question, to intro- duce electioneering appeals and epithets. An ar isbeing made to obtain a charter for a N.York, Albany and Troy Railroad, on the eastern margin of the river. This is beginning to be consi- dered the most feasible route, and as powerful infla- ences are to work in its favor, I should not be sur- prised if it should succeed. A long list of appointments for the counties of Orange, Otsego, Ulster, Herkimer and other wes- tern counties, were promulgated to-day. ‘There have been no more New York appointments as yet The poor devils of expectants who are still dancing attendance here, look more forlorn and disconsolate than ever. There is not the slightest diminution in the. reli- gious excitement that has pervaded this city for the last three weeks; on the contrary, itis on the in- crease. Brother Swan leaves us this week, it is said, for your city. If so, then look out fora shaking among your dry bones. Simon, his subject ‘occu-, : > Furteenta Day—Fen. 17. The interest in the proceedings of the Court Martial ap- Ppearsto have greatly increased. A considerable number of auditors were present Yesterday, The proceedings ‘were, it will be seen, of very considerable interest. Alter Mr. Perry’s direct examination, which elicited no- thing new, was terminated, the following questions were put by the Judge Advocat Did you receive orders to put Mr. Spencer to death ifhe attempted to escape, and did you so inform Mr. Spencer ? A —I received the order, but did not tell Mr. 8; ~ Did you inspect Mr. Spencer’s irons on the night of the 26th, aud had you any conversation with him then? Re inspected his irons, but had.mo conversation with im. Had you ever heard, before the occurrence to the mast, that it was thought weak ? A—No, sir. { Did youever hear Cromwell, Small, or Wilson asked why the had gone aloft at the time of the occurrence to the mast -—No, sir Did you ever hear them charged with having gone aloft on the 27th to holda plotting conversation ? -—No, sir. Did you observe Cromwell, Small and Wilson on the maintop, and if so, what were they doing? A.—They were there at work. : Did you think at the time that the mast was carried away by design ? ad ‘Were youon deck at thet time ? A.—No, sir, How soon after did you come on deck, and now long did you remain ? A.—Immediately, and I remained half an hour. went below for a few moments. What did you go dewn for ? think Ithen for a meal. Did you not swear before the Court of Roquiry that you went below bi se you had nothing todo I may have course swear to it lone so—and of ag Capt. McKenzie here asked ifthis question was regular. Jupcr Avvocatn—Certainly. Capt. McKexzixz—Well, it’s of no importance. Juvae Apvocarz—We may differ on that point, Capt. McKenzie. If you thought the occurrence to the mast was de¢ ed to afford an ‘opportunity for an outbreak, would it net have been your duty to remain on deck ? _A-—I did remain, sir, so long asthere was any confu- sion. ‘When you did go down, did you do so in the opinion that there was no further danger of an outbreak or a rescue? A.—I did not think there was any danger until dark. When you went down did Mr. Gansevoort follow you, and what was his conversation, if any ? A.—He came down, gave me a pistol and cutlass, and told me to go on deck, station myself on the starboard gangway, as he was going to confine Cromwell. Did you not arm yourself on deck,or had you no arms before that conversation with Mr. Gansevoort ? A.—I had no arms before that. If you feared a rescue whilst first on deck, why did you not id yourself, as there were battle-axes on the bul warks. A —I did not think of that, sir, at the time. Idid not think of a rescue till I got on the deck, when the idea struck me. : pe never eccurto you to arm yourself whilst 01 lec A.—No, Sir; after [had been on deck a short time I did not think there would bea rescue, as the crew had gone back to their duty, which done away with my fears, and was one reason I went below then. Q.—Did you hear Anderson say why he came for the tail-block? Parsioent—I do not think that question proper; it has no reference to any thing said by the witness. Jupce Apvocate—I bee, your pardon, Sir; I am not confined to what he said. am now asking about a fact testified to by another witness. The question is quite pertinent. The Paesivent persisted: that it was wrong, and the Judge Advocate withdrew it. TheJudge Advocate then put the following questio: Q.—Would it be an advan’ men meaning a rescue, to go a fenmsite ‘to effect it, for ely improper questi { -—The witness has said thatthe occurrence to the mast was intended to afford an opportunity for a rescue, and the connection of the ques- tion now put with that expression of opinion is very easi ly seen. Parsipent—Mr. Perry, you will take time, and not an- swer any question too hastily. Jupce Abvocate—Yes, 1 wish you of course to be as deliberate as possible. ‘The question was again put and the witness replied :— It would depend on circumstances. Jupor Apvocate—On what circumstances? A.—Why they could create great confusion aloft; they could cut away the gafls,and the steering sails and rig- Ring out of the tops, and'so assist the rescue greatly; twe irds of the rescue Imight be done in that way. Q.—Was any thing of that kind done or attempted to be done at the time in question 7 ‘A—No, Sir. Did you hear the conversation between the Com~ = Cromwell when the latter was arrested? » Sir. ‘id you hear Mr. Gansevoort call out that he shoot thefirst man that set his foot on the quarter wou! deck ? Ap—I do not recollect, but I saw him with a pistol. Q.—Did you hear Mr. Rogers call out that he had called the men forward? A—Yes. Q—Did Mr. Gansevoort admit to you that he was under an erroneous epinion as tothe men rushing aft, and that he was glad he did not fire on them ? Ifso state his whole account of that occurrenceon that evening? A.—I did not him that he was in error; but I heard him bf that had it not been for Mr. ers speak- ing, he would have shot the tallest man, which was Wil- son. Q.—Did he express his gratification that he had not fired en themen’ A.—Y¥es, Sir. sone he not say he might have shot an innocent. man ‘A.—He might have said so. | Q.—When did you first su the execution of Mr. Spencer, Cromwell ané Small necessary? A —The day before the Council of officers was held. Q.—When did Mr. Gansevoort first consult you about the necessity of the execution ? A.—The day before the council was held, he asked me if [thought it safe to confine any more prisoners, and ot 80 ied what was to be donc with the previous three? I that Idid not think that we could take c! more prisoners with safety, and that if nec: re more to be taken, the three first ought to be disposed @ is, putto death. Q—When was the council held? A.—On the 30th of November. Q—Weas not this conversation with Mr. Gensevoort the day after Cromwell's arrest ? A—I think it was the day before the council of offi- cers. Jupce Apvocate.—Please answer my question. Mr. Duen—(In an an angry tone)—He has answered it sir—put it down. Jupor Apvocats.—Certainly, sir, it may be put down, but no formidable tone will prevent me from repeating my question until [ obtain an explicit answer. Witness—I do not know whether st was after the day of Cromwell's arrest or not ? Q.—Did you not swear before the Court of Enquiry that it was on the 28th ? A—I may have sworn so—if so the answer was cor- rect. Q.—Was not Cromwell confined on the evening of the ath? A.—Yees sir, I so find it entered on the log book. Jupoe Avvocats.—I do not wish to embarrass the wit- ness at all, but { desire explanation, and for that purpose put the following question :— Q.—How was it that you stated before the Court of En- quiry that the conversation with Mr. Gansevoort took place on the 28th of November, and you now state that it was the day before the council of officers ? A.—I think that it was the day before the council, but I said I was not positive. Q—Had you not the log book whilst testifying before the Court of Enquiry? A—I bad, sir. Q—What time of the day did this conversatien occur with Mr. Gansevoort ? A.—In the afternocn, When was Wilson, McKinly and MeKea arrested, and for what ? A.—On the morning of the 30th, civil time, after 9 o’clock, on suspicion of being concerned in the mutinous attempt of Mr. Spencer. Q.—Whiat time of the day on the 30th did the officers receive Commander McKenzie’s letter, and how long did they remain in session ? A.—In the forenoon, at what hour I don’t remember, and they were in session till about sun down. Q.—How long alter quarters was it when this letter was received—try and recollect 7 A.—I think about two hours, Q.—When did you first hear of the letter to the offi- ', that cert A.—When the council asrembled—it was then read by Mr. Gansevoort. Q—Had you not in your consultation with the officers before the council met, heard discussed the propriety of holding a council foc the purpose of taking testimony ? A.—Notthat I recollect Q—When did you first hear that the mutiny was to break out before the arrival at St. Thomas, and from whom? A-—From Mr. Wales on the evening of Spencer's ar- rest. Q—Did Mr, Wales tell you that he suspected that, or that Mr. Spencer had told him so? A.—lcan’t tell; to the best of my knowledge Mr. Wales said that it would break out. Q.—Did be say that Mr. Spencer told him #0? A.—I mean to say that it came from Mr. Spencer, through Mr. Wales, Q—Who was present when Wales was holding this conversation with you? A.—I don't remember. Q.—Where was the conversation held, and how long after Mr. Spencer’s arrest? A.—In the ward.room, a short time after the arrest. Q.—Can you, or can you not, recollect whether you were alone with Mr. Wales? A.—I think he and | were the only persons in the ward. room at the time? Q—Did you hear Wales testify before the Council of officers? A.—I did, sir. Q.—Did you, or not, hear Wales testify before the Coun- cil, that Mr. Spencer had told him that the mutiny was to break out beforethe arrival of the Somers at St. Thomas? Mr. Dugn objected to this, on the ground that the minutes of testimony before the Council waa the best evi- dence, and of course the inferior evidence now offered was inadmissible. The Junar Apvocate showed that this gether untenable. The memorandum of a, He would cheerfully allow the witness, however, to fresh his memory by referring to the minutes. a question ‘was then repeated, and the witness an. A.—I see no minute of that in the proceedings before the Council of officers, and therefore think that ment was not made, —Was it discussed in the Council of officers whether the vessel could be carried into St. Thomas, or any nearer ort? 3 A.—Yes, it was; and I said I would rather go overboard then take a vesselinto St. Thomas for tame hes I would never agree hing of that kind, [also said that it would beimpossible,as I though, tto take the vessel into any pert, Q—Was the chart examined, and the distances from the neighboring isl mds calculated? A.—I do not remember that it was. I told the Council the distance to St. Thomas within a mile or eo myself, Q.—Why uid you say that sooner than seek protection at St. Thomas you would go overboard? ‘A.—Decause [ thought it would be disgraceful to the navy, to the United States, and penta to the officers of the brig. I believed that when an American man.of- war could not protect herself there was no use in having any. Q.—Did you tell the Council the distance to any other island than St. Thomas? A.—No. Q—How was the opinion of the members of the Council given—oneby one, if so, who first? A.—I was not there when the final opinion was formed; I gave mine the night before, having charge of the deck on the morning of the lst December, when the opinion was give .—Did the officers give in their epinions in writing? A—I gave mine verbally, and signed my name toa letter containing our written opinio —Did the Gouneil prepare more than one letter ; if s0, state in what the letters differed?

If so, ite with whom. —I did with Mr. Rogers. ‘Was Mr. Spencer asked by you or by any one in your hearing, when he had first broached the scheme to Small? A.—No, sir. Was Smallasked by you or 7, one in your hear- ing, when Mr. Spencer first broached the scheme to him? A—No, Y Mr. Spencer asked by you, er any one in your heating, whether the names on the lists were those af the crow who were, oF only whom he hope o be his accem- plices A—No arge your memory, and state particularly all the enquiries you’ heard put to Mr. Spencer, and his replies, and whether he was asked when he first drew up that pa- per? ‘A.—L heard no such enquiries. Q'—Did Mr. Spencer say that he had been drinking on the night of the 2éth, and so accounting for his conversa. tion with Wales? A.—1 did not hear Mr. Spencer say any thing, cxcept bal dee for a plug of tobacco, or a glass of water. By Commodvre Ocpen—Did you see Mr.Spencer on the evening of the 25th, between the hours of 6 and 8, orat any hour; and if so, was he under the influence ef liquor? A Tasn" remeniber ‘seeing him on that evening at all. By Jupae Apvocatr—Did you hear Mr. Spencer ask for pen and paper, to take an account of occurrences? A.—Notto my recollection. .—Did Mr. Gansevoort inform you before the execu- tion of Mr. Spencer, that Mr. 8. had expressed his inten- tion of having a conversation with him when his mind was in a suitable state ? i —Mr. Gansevoort stated that before the council of of ficers; Mr. Ganseevort went afterwards to Mr. Spencer, who did not tell him any thing, except as Mr. Gansevoort told me, if I recollect right, that he (Mr. Spencer) had had a similar plot on bourd the John Adams and the Poto- mac—that it wasa mania with him. Q.—Did Mr. Gansevoort tell you any enquiries he put to Mr. Spencer ? —I don’t recollect. Q.—Had you seen any act of insubordination on the rt of Cromwell, Small, Wilson, McKinly, Green or icKie, previous to their arrest ?

Sanford, he stated :. was the aunt of Mrs. Webb; I knew Alice from the period of her death ; I’ m: ; she'was then at board, and occasionally made visits tothe family ; { left the city in 1824; was absent till 1925, Lleft again in the Spring of 1826, and‘returned in the Spring of 1827. After that period I left the army, and be- came aresident of the family; Alice was brought home as an inmate of the family in 1828; she continued to reside in the family titl her death, and I was in the habit of Cin 4 her constantly’; I resided myself in the family wit her about two years. When I first saw Alice at Mr. Stewart’s, I labored under the impressron that she was an idiot. In consequence of that impression, derived no doubt chiefly from her appearance, although Imay have seen her thirty times, I never-held any conversation with her. Had shedied previous to 1827, and had J been called on to give my opinion of her capacity, I should unhesi tatingly have given it as my opinion that she w idiot, and incapable of making a will. After I the family, and was in the habit of s rprised to see how erroneons had been my impressions respecting hér. I was in the habit of porpesor 3 with her whenever there was occasion for it; and after this change in my epinion with rd to her, I never met her without 5] ig to her, so far as I recol- lect. She always ate with the family, as a general rule. Inever saw her at a formal dinner party; she always re- mained at the table when a friend called at the house; her deportment at table was with the test pro- riety. ( remarked that Mr. A. L. Stewart sel- lom dined with the family; and I generally occupied his seat at the table; 1 always asked Alice what she would be to, the same as any other member of the family. nd unless some stranger was nt, I think, asa matter of respect she was always el first. As tothe reason of Mr. Stewart’s not eatittg with the rest of the family, I would say, that he was aman of delicate health, and very irregular at meals; he pre- ferred to eat, as hesaid, when he was hungry ; he wis very asthmatic ; when Alice ate, being very near sight- ed, at first brought her face down, I should say within four inches of her plate ; otherwise she could not distinguish one article of food from another. This, I believe, was the cause of her awkwardness spoken of at table. We always treated her with the utmost kindness andrespect. After I removed from the family , Alice re- peatedly v and dined with me at my house ; she al- ways dined, together with the rest of the family, at my house on Christmas ; on other occasions I observed that she was ore of the most retiring, unobtrusive, quiet per- sons I ever knew ; she always conducted herself with the greatest decorum ; her appearance was very ungainly and awkward ; her dress was always neat and comforta- ble ; she dressed as ladies would for morning ; she was always respectably dressed, as an elderly woman. From the conversations I have had with her | came to the con- clusion— O’Coxworn—We don’t want your conclusions, Celonel Webb. Cou. Wran—Her original capacity, of course I can’t caleulate, or what it would have been by education ; in reply to any question with which she was conversant ; ‘answers were apt and appropriate ; her memory wat remarkably good ; it was decidedly accurate s0 lar ns events were concerned, which were within my own knowledge and observation ; this I have often tested ; she would always understand any badinage, as it was cur- rently passing, and laugh at it, although she would say but little; she was heir at lawto what was called the Roosevelt property ; { pleasantly remarked to her on one occasion that | wanted her to give it to me; she under. steod that I Ne ie with her, and treated the matter accordingly ; Mrs. Webb was present at that conversa. tion; this was some time: after 1830; Mr. A.L. Stewart and several of the family were present. Cross-examined by O’Coxnon. In answer to questions on the cross-examination, Col. Webb proceeded to state :—I am son-in-law of A. L. Stewart. Q—Are you interested in the result of this suit 7 A—1 am interested on your side, aecordi standing ofthe case. In the ever suit, Mrs. Webb ofthe nine heirs at law of Alice Lispenard, and c quently would be entitled to siz ninths of whatev rest Alice may have possessed in the undivided pe nard estate. The children of Mrs. Alexander L. Stewart are not in possession of any portion of the property of their parents ; their father having left the whole of his estate to his brother Robert Stewart ; consequently, whatever may be recovered in this suit, wonld be a nett gain to them. In consequence of a remark ofthe opening counsel, that Reda ipal witness for the defendant are dependent upon and stand in awe of Mr. Robt. Stuart, I think it pro- perto add that A. L. Stewart gave his whole property to rt Stewart. Ihave not seen nor spoken to Robert Stewart ear, nor been at his house except once within that time, and then te attend a funeral. Tun- derstand this to have been an absolute giftto Robt. Stew- art, with no trust directly nor indirect! y I wish it hod been otherwise. bert is the half brether of A. L. Stew- art. Robert S. hi wife. Q.—Who are the heirs at law of Robert Stewart? A-—His heirs at law are his nephews and neices, and the children ofthe late A. L. Stewart. He has two ne- phews in this country, the children of his sister, rs. Jordan. They reside in Boston. There may be other heirs. Thave notspokento Robert Stewart for the last year—1 have hada misunderstanding with him. If 1 should meet with him I shoull speak tohim. His pret reside in Hudson street. 191 Hudson street was the le dence of the late A. L. Stewart. I reside at No. 7 Waver- ly Place, I attended the examination of this suit while it was before the Court of Errors; A. L. Stewart was then deat, Idid what I could, by my advice, &c., for Robert Stewart. At the request of Robert Stewart I employed counsel and went to Albany to look after the suit. I made two visits to Albany—my Inst visit continued for ten or twele days. 1 lefton the 30h December, the day after the arguments were concluded. Being questioned as to Alice’s manner of eating, Col. Wewn said—Whenever I helped Alice at table, | would ask her, “Aunt Elsie, will you have some of thisdish, or that?” naming the dish myself, She would answer yes or no, as the case might be. Q—Did you ever hear her say “ No.” A.—-[ cannot'say positively, but 1 have no doubt I have. She visited at my house on various occasions, but never alone; it would not have been safe, she was so near sight ed; I never saw her alone in thestreet, so far as I recol. lect; I think she was incapable of taking charge of chil- dren in the street, with no one to look after her; Ihave no reason to believe that she could either read or count; Inever heard her count that [ recollect; 1 think { have seen her have money, carrying it from one part of the Premises to another; I dont think | ever saw her have money of her own; she never attempted to renew or us tain a conversation; the answers were usually short; | understood that she had avers mper. his lady (Alice) ever write any of the Jes of the Courier?

Webb, in rage article’ Cel s—My motive was to correct certain incor- rect statements which had been published in one ef the papers [understood to be the New York Herald’s report of Mr, Butler’s opening speech—the incorrectness being in the speech, and not in the report ot it]—and also to save ‘uy reporter the trouble of attending upon the Court; I thought the report of Mr. Butler’s opening speech calcu- tatedto make a very incorrect impression upon the public mi O'Connon—But, Col. Webb, are you not aware that the publication of an ex parte statement during the progress of 8 trial, is calculated to make an injurious effect, and is highly improper? 1.

He hed prayed inthe fa- mily, and it being the custom to kneel, Alice always knelt. Incenversation she was always sensible, and sometimes witty. Mrs. Isanetia Lee—I knew Alice well, and have been to school with her. Ihave spelt with her myself. She could read small words. Mr. Lispenard would never al- w his children to be corrected. Ithink Alice was not so bright as hersisters. She waslike a spoilt child that had her own w: Mrs. Vaeetann—I reside in Broome street; am an el+ der sister of Mrs. Lee, just examined. She corroborated the positions maintained by the defence. Mrs. Sana SaRGran’ m in My 72d year; I knew Alice.’ I was employed about three months of the year in Mr. Stewart’s family at mantua-making and sowing, and sometimes occupied the same room with her. I made dresses for her. 1 conversed freely with her. Toa stranger shedid not appear well, but that wore off on quaintance. She could dress and undress herself ; she ro- juired no more assistance to dress herself than the rest of the ladies of thefamily. She took care of her own clothes, as other members of the ally, did—they all had some one toaid them. She could be called silly, for her me- mory She remembered very well one of m: sisters, whom she had not seen for fifteen years. [At this point the Hon. Willis Hall made his appearance in court, and took his seat as one of the counsel for the defence.) ‘As to her drinking liquors, I thought she took more than she ought to; she drank wine three timesaday. About two years before her death she left baie beret and took none at all. I took my meals with the family; Alice sat next tome. At meals I saw no difference between her and others. She was nearsighted, which caused her to eat awkwardly. 3 Cross-examined by Mr. O*Counor.—I never slept in the same bed with Alice; no one was allowed to do that— Alice slept inthe basement—in the nursery; I only know that she left off drinking two years before her death, be- cause Mrs.Charles Stewart teld me so, and I believe ever thing she says. Yesterday I looked over the printed evi- dence which I gave before the Surrogate, to refresh my memory; I also have seen another paper which was handed to me. Before my examination in the Surro- ate’s office, I asked Mr, Stewart (A. L) to give me a ittle outline of the questions which would be asked me, that | might not err through ignorance. Some one gave me the paper I wanted on this subject, and I kept it till after my examination before the Surrogate. (This witness was pretty severely cross-examined by Mr, O°Connor.] ‘ 4 Dinect—Alice had strong partialities to certain mem- bers of the family. Cross-e: ined by O’Conwor—Alice had a violent temper; I know of nothing ever done to curb it; I have known her sent on messages, and was last at Mr. Stew- art’s since dinner to-di Mr. O’Connon—Di y d there, I suppose. Pua:se Tiomrsox, (Colored.)—I am 65 years old; I know Alico; I carried mesmges backward, aad forwérd for Miss Sarah Lispenard. Alice drank much at that time; It was not wine, I know. What she drank affected her conduct, so asto excite attention. 1 would not say Pve seen her intoxicated, but I have seen her drink, in plain speaking. She would sometimes get in a violent passion ood if lept in the same room with her myself for three months that I the belter—she drank less. Her temper was very you didn’t rile her. Her memory was correct. {81 was there. Shcdressed herself the same as any other dy. She did not appear to beso near sighted in after life as formerly ; and | attributed it to drinking less. I once asked her for one of her old dresses, and she refused, say- ing that shesintended to give it to another person who needed it more than I did. Cross-examined by O’Cornon. 1 knew Alice when I was about 15 years eld ; she was quite drunk from 10 A. M. till 6 or 7 in the ‘evening , the took it in the presence of her parents, and she said it was nobody’s business what she drank ; the liquor made her stagger, but she never fell ; her constant gait wasa stagger ; at12 o’clock Alice used to bring the servants their grog ; she was very dull ‘and stupid in the morning before she got her liquor, and after that she would become talkative ; she brought mes- sages to the kitchen as to what was to be had and was at the same time very drunk ; Alice ried two keys ; and come to recollect, she carri keys, to as many closets, which contained wines, cakes, starch, soap, &c. ; I have seen Alice go out—to the Park —all alone—when others of the family had gone ehead ; I never saw her count any thing ; I had a paper sent to me yesterday. Mra. ExtzanetH Vixcent—I live corner of Bedford and Christopher streets; Ifhave| known Alice from my child- ood; I recollect her since 1816; Alice then lived at Mr. Stewart's, in Broadway This witness confirmed defen- dant’s points generally. Alice was very fond of children, and could be trusted to take eare of them for any length of time; I never discovered any thing silly or foolish about her. Cross-examined by O’Connorn. Q—Was Miss Elsie near sighted? A.—She was. Q.—Well, how near had you to come to her before she could see you? A.—I don’t know; Inever asked her. Q:—How did she walk? A.—She walked with her head erect; the sam before | was examined before the Surrogate, Mr. called on me, or sent forme, and told me they were try- ing to make out Miss Elsie a fool, and wanted to know what thought about it; Mrs. Stewart did bring me a writing last Monday or Tuesday at my house relative to my testfmeny on this trial; I told her it was like a minis- ter’s reading a sermon, and | had rather tell what I know without notes; I told her 1 wished she had not brought it at all; I readit to-day; I also readit when I first got it; I may have put my eyes on it oftener. [The cross-examii tion was very severe in relation to the papers and the influence of Mrs. Charles 8. Stewart.] The Rev. Cnartes 8. Srewant—[Some conversation here took place relative to the competency as a witness of the Rev. C. S. Stewart. The question was waived for the present.] 1 reside at 149 Hudson street; I am chaplain in the navy, and married one of the niecesof Alice Lis- penard; I haveno children by her; I first saw Alice about the year 1811, Ihave seen much of her. He testified to many of Alice’s habits at table, &c. His testimony agreed with that of other witnesses for the defence. 1 ne aw anything which indicated any deficiency in her of mind er memory. She alwayeappeared to comprehend dis- tinctly whatever subject her mind was directed to. In relationto her death, Mr. Stewart sai ‘On New Year’s morning of 1836, some one said that Alice had an attack of aralysis; she could not rise from her chair; we removed hee to her room, and Dr. Hunter was sent for; Alice said from the first that she should never recover or go up stairs again; on one occasion, I asked her ifshe was not afraid to die? she spe ‘*No;” I then asked her in relation to preparation for death; she said she knew that she was wicked, but she had prayed to God to for- ive her and she thought she should go to heaven. remarked to heron another occasion that Mrs. Stewert and I prayed for her, but that she must pray for herself ; she replied “ I do pray almost all the time ; I pray to to make me better and he made me better.” On another occasion she said to me, of Mrs. Stewart—“ I love her— she has been a \I niece to me, and | feel better when she is with me ; this was shortly before her death ; her manner on these occasions was calm and sincere ; tender and etectie I never had any conversation with her on religions subjects before ; I thought the subject was distastefnl to hi She was reluctant to attend family worship. In relation to the character of her mind, think her information was very limited, and her mind weak; but I never saw anything in her behavior, nor everheard any remark from her that was inconsistent with common sense. She always exhibited a very strong attachment to Mr. Alexander L. Stewert. was /lis- spoken of, posed to be jocose on some occasions. Previous to my marriage, and before m: ement was known, she said know what these sittings in the parlor, and these walks out from time to time will lead you will become my nephew one of these days.” Cross-Exemined by O’Coxnen—My father and Robert Stewart were first cousins. I now residein the ‘amily. ‘That family consists of Robert Stewart, Lispenard Stew- art, bis children, my own family, and Mojor Webb, from Detroit. Q.—Who maintains this family? A-—I cannot state who maintains this family, whether Robert Stewart or Lispenard Stewart; Alice used to drink rather intemperately for a woman; I never saw her stag- ger from the effects of hquor. [I returned from the Sand- wich Inlands in 1927,] When at table, [have asked her whether she would have this orthatdish, I naming the dish, I do not recollect that I ever heard ‘her say ‘no;” I never heard her ask ‘or any particular meat at table; { at- tended all the examinations in the Surrogate’s Court, and T accompanied Mrs. Stewart on several occasions, to visit female witnesses, betore that examination; 1 have written down statements on two occasions, one of them was for a Mr. Murdon, of Poughkeepsie, and there was one other person, whote name Ido not now recollect. On one oc- Casion, Mr. Stewart read to one of the witnesses Colonel Webb'adeposition, for the purpose, us I mppose, of com paring views in relation to Miss Alice’s capacity. I was m in the front parlor of Mr, Stewart's house; there was a very fashionable party present. Miss Alice was al- s0 present, and deported herself with great propriety.
