New York, Wednesday, March 22, 1843 Tur » News.—Begianing on the first page | will be founda {ull synopsi« of the foreign news | brought by the Columbia steamer at Boston. In a commercial peint of view, this intelligence is | far from encouraging. England seems to bein a singular and anomalous condition. Tne Broapway AssasstnaTion.—Every addition- al particular developed yesterday, in reference to the horrid assassination of Corlis, will be found in this day’s paper. Corlis, we learn, kept two bowling saloons in Broadway, one of them was strictly private, and ap- propriated to the use of fashionable ladies, who went there to play ninepins between the hours of 10 and 2 o'clock. Wehave received some curious and in- teresting facts on this subject, which we cannot give to-day. We alsolearn thathe also eccupied some capacity in conneetion with the Union Clab House. Corlis also kept a shooting gallery last summer at Saratoga Springs. There are some revelations yet to be made in con- nection with this aflair, that will astound the eom- munity. Tux Frenow Attantic Srean Sats.—it is stated | in the papers received by the Columbia, that sever- al of the French steam ships intended to run between France and America, are ready at Brest, and would begin their trips this spring, and the pioneer of the line will probably be here in Jane. It is mentioned in well informed circles in thie city, that four of these unequalled steam ships will run between New York and some port in France— probably Cherbourg, and ten to different points in South America and the West Indies. We look upon this arrangement as one of the most important that has ever been made in com- merce and navigation. It is a movement indicating the course France intends to take for the future, jn the progress of steam navigation, and 1n the increase of the commerce of that energetic nation. It shows that the Gallican race is determined that the supre- macy of the seas shall no longer belong to the Anglo- Saxon or the Anglo-Amencan race. When the competition in the commerce of the world is be- tween the three greatest of civilized nations, we must look for results such as the establishment of this new line of ocean steamers ; and even this, vast as it appears to be, is but a foreshadowing of what we may expect in years to come, when the globe will be encircled with steam ships. We shall look for the avant courier, the Christopher Columbus of the French steamers, with a good deal of interesi. Aprivat or Cartan. Spencer.—Capt. Spencer, the brother of the Hon. John C. Spencer, and uncle to the late Midshipman Spencer, has arrived in town from the American squadron in the Mediter- Tanean. It issaid that he has resigned his com- mission in the navy, for what Purpose we shall seon. know. Many rumors were in circulation last night, but nothing tangible. Axnrvat op Henry Russewt.—This.admirable vo- calist has arrived from England in ‘the last steamer, and will soon reach New York, to give a series of concerts in his peculiar style. His sojourn in Lon- don has been profitable and brilliant. Latest From Braztu.—It appears by our files of the Journol do Commercio, that a new ministry has been formed on the 20th cf January. It is composed of the following statesmen :— Honorio Hermeto Carneiro Leio, Mi naveccee eee ‘arneiro Leto, Minister of Justice Jozé Antonio de Silva Maia, Minister of the Empire. Salvador Jozé Maciel, Minister of War. Joaquim José Rodingues Torres, Minister of Naval Affairs. Joaquim Francisco Vianna—Deputy Minister of the ‘Treasury. We learn that immigration into Brazil from Por- tugal and France was rapidly on the increase, par- ticularly from the former country, 11 is said too, that the inducements are such as to lead to consi- derable emigration from this country.

Boxxos Aracs Manxar, Jan. 10.—The rivers Ureguay ‘and Panama after being closed since the blockade of the French, are now open by a decree of the government, and numbers of email vessels are now fitting out to go up. The quantity of hides in Corientes, is veriously estimated at from 300,000 to 500,000 but still it will take seme time to regulate the trade of the country. During the last week there was a slight alteration in domestics for the better, and confidence again appears to be restered ; but the mar- kets are as yet dull. Scarcely any article of American produce will remunerate the merchant for lais trouble, and many things will not nett cost Jaties and charges. Salt, flour, and lumber, are drugs. Grayp Concert Tus Eventna.—Mr. Kossows- ski’s grand vocal and instrumental concert comes off this evening at Niblo’s Saloon. It will undoubt- edly be a truly splendid affair. Among the very distinguished performers this evening, we notice the names ot Mesdames Maroncelli, and Otto, Signors De Begnis, Martini, Benedid, Croupa, and others. We also perceive that a young Pole by the name of Salmonski, makes his first appearance. It is expected to be a great treat. More Cugar Lireratcre.—Yesterday morning the cheap publishers received by the Columbia trom from Boston, additional numbers of the new works of Boz, of Lever, and of Lover, and of Ainsworth, and at sundown Winchester of Ann street, had them all in print, ready for publication. We hope his safety valve is in good order.

Steam Revenve Qurrers.—The Secretary of the Treasury has advertised for proposals for building the hulls of one, two, or three iron steamers, to be used as revenDe cutters on the sea coast. It is ex- pected that t}jese boats will be built in reference to Hanter’s 0; Ericsson’s propellers.

Forzign News.—The foreign parcels, brought by the Columbia, reached this city at seven o’clock yesterday morning, by Harnden’s Express. We are indebted to that establishment for the early delivery of our papers. We are indebted also to the Mer- chants’ Exchange, Boston, for late files of fo eign shipping lists, &c.

New Hamrsmine}Ecection.—[n 177 towns}Gover- nor Mubbard’s majority ever all ethers is 782. The excitement attendant upon this daring assas- sination was continued yesterdey throughout our populace, and the street andplace at which he wag shot was visited by thousands, who gazed upon the bloody pavement with demonstrations of estonish- ment that such an act could be cemmitted in the midstof our populous city, and the author escape detection. The most erroneous and blundering ac- counts were given in nearly all the daily papers,and none but the Herald contained a full, correct and interesting report of the scene, the authenticity of which was fully confirmed by all the testimony pre- sented before the coroner’s investigation yesterday afternoon. A post mortem examination was held upon the body of Corlis, athis recent lodgings, No. 108 Leo- nard street, yesterday afternoon, attended by the Coroner, Drs. Hosack, Putnam and others. Upon dissecting the head, the pistol ball, which appeared to have been a battered’slug of small size, was found lodged in the anterior lobe of the cerebrum. It had entered the occiput on the left side of the occipital process, and passed through the lobe of the brain, striking the parietal bone at the juncture of the coronal suture, Considerable extravasated blood was found under the scalp, on the outside of the bone upon the dura mater, and beneath it. A frac- ture was discovered immediately above the orbit,on the left side, extending through to the orbiter plates immediately above the nechrymose tumor, which no doubt had been caused_by the fall, after he was shot,as a'slight abrasion of the skin was also perceiv- ed at the immediate point of the fracture. This fracture would have probably been alleged by the members of the bar, called upon to defend the sup- posed murderer, as the immediate cause of the death of the deceased, had not the surgeons deci- ded during the exam ination, that death would have rapidly ensued from the wound alone, had there been no fracture. Henry Colton, who stands arrested on the charge of being an accessory or principal to the death of Corlis, isa young man, about 30 years of age, with marked expression of face, evincing great determi. nation and strength of mind; and withal a pleasing and intelligent countenance. He isa native of Providence, R. I., we understand;$ and in his early days served an apprenticeship as a machinist, at which he labored for some years after he arrived at maturity. He was married to his wife, now Han- nah Colton, some years since, at Providence, R. I., and they have two fine healthy and handsome chil- dren, the eldest of which is 12yeare old. His wife is also a native of Provideuce, R. {., and appears to be about 29 years of age, of fine person and pleasing features, but not handsome. He has for the past few years been engaged in the superintendence of a large and extensive fashionable “Club House,” at 24 Vesey street, where, by close attention to his pe- culiar business, (which is quite as reputable as the Wall street stock gambling,) he has amassed a handsome property; and some months since retired from business, and disposed of his establishment to other hands. Since then he has been occupied in settling his affairs, with a view to engage in trans- actions of a different character. Colton possesses many rare qualities for one of his recent profession—temperate in all his habits, mild in his deportment, and strictly honorable in an “honorable” sense in all his engagements; he has been considered by “‘the profession” as far above the usual class. He has always been ardently at- tached to his family, and nought tended to mar his domestic relations, until last fall, when Charles G, Corlis, now deceased, was found to be in corres. pondence with his wife, and finally detected in closer intimacy. Through the timely interference of a friend, she wes prevented from deserting her husband and children, as arrangements had been made between her and Corlis to sail for New Or- leans, taking with them about $2000 in money be- longing to her husband, and valuable jewelry worth a larger amount. The money was restored, and asolemn obligation entered into by Corlis, in presence of the friend of Colton, to abstain from all further intercourse with the wife of Colton. For the sake of his children the matter was pase- ed over, and fall grun on ‘smooth untila few days previous te the attempt on the life of Cerlis by Colton, which failed, when the former was ob- served by Colton to be prowling about his pre- mises in Vesey street, and constantly watching the house as though his previous interference was about te be resumed. It was with this feel- Colten sallied forth on the night tie 10th nstant, resolved to take the life of the man who had destroyed his do- mestic peace and happiness. He attempted it, but failed, and was placed under bonds in the sum of $10,000 for his appearance to answer, and good se- curity tendered by his friends. Thus matters rest- ed until the scene on Monday night, when all was again revived. The result stands in the book of fate, and must be made manifest sooner or later. Since the event on Monday night, no new light has been thrown upea the matter—all yet remains a solemn, hidden mystery of whom the all seeing power alene has cognizance. The evidence, as presented before the coroner’s jury last evening, ful- ly confirms the statement made in the Herald yee- terday, that Corlis was shot by a woman, as one was seen on the epet, by several witnesses, both before and after the report of the pistol. That it could not have been a man in woman’s clothes, is fully evi- dent, because the woman who entered the saloon and went out with Corlis, appeared to be well known to him, as he held a private conversation with her for several minutes. The motive that could prompt sucha deed, by any woman, apppears beyond con- jecture, and still a rank and galling jealousy may have urged the act, as it was reperted among his friends that he was soon about to be m nied to some young lady of this city. A with whom he had been intimate, was arrest- ed on Monday night, by Justice Merritt, and is now held on suspicion of having some knowledge of the affair, although she denies all participation. She alleges that Corlis recently told her that he dreamed he was dead, which is all that she knows telative to his recent acts. As the case now stands, therefore, it is still absorbed in the same mystery that it was when first discovered. The girl from “Green street,” who came into the house of Par- sons on Monday night, a few minutes after the offi- cers had entered, saying that “she had run with a race horse,” is still among the missing. The following 1s the result of yesterday’s investi- gation before the coroner : Tux Assassination or Contis—Tur Investi- GATION BEFORE Coroner Cornetivs P.
