HERALD. Heraid Literary Depot. ‘All the new and cheap literary publications of the day are for sale, wholesale and retail, at the Henxaco Orica, northwest corner of Nassau and Fulton street Further Intelligence from Washington We have received further intelligence from Wash- ington relative to more removals and appointments, some of which are of the most curious character imaginable. We forbear to publish some of these anomalies till we see whether they are correct—and if they are so, we think Captain Tyler will repent before Jong, that he ever made some of them. The excitement which was produced yesterday, by our accounts of the recent changes, was quite amusing. It issaid that a few months ago, Captain Tyler gave assurances to Mr. Lord, or his friends, that he would not be removed. Since that assur- ance, it seems a change has come over the spirit of his dream, for it would really appear that the Cap- tain and the “guard” sometimes do dream dreams of an awful cheracter. We have some very curious developments of the White House to make in a tew days. Wait pa- tiently. ApMINISTRATION OF CriminaL Jostice.—The simultaneous occurrence in England and this coun- try, of several remarkable criminal cases, and the striking similarity in the judicial action respecting them, have awakened very generally the keen ate tention of the public press The trials and acquit- tals of McNaughton, Mercer, and McKenzie, are all pregnant illustrations of the same general fact— the growing and alarming laxity in the administra- Any overt act of treason. A thoughtless boy had, it | is true, frightened the senses out of a landeman, by a bloody “yarn,” told on a moonlight mght on the Ocean. Put there was no clear evidence of guili— No rational grounds of alarm --no plausible necessity for the execution of the three ill fated men, who met a sudden end on board the Somers. How is it, then, that the editor of the American regards the two cases with such widely different feelings! The answer is perfectly obvieus and plain In the one case he hos no person- al feelings, and speaks the words of truth andsober- ness. Inthe other he isa partizan, and is as much the victim of preyudice, excitement, and unjust fee} ing, es any member of that jury, on whose finding in the case of Mercer, he has animadverted with such warmth and earnestness, All, hewever, are not blinded as the editor of the American in this business. There are thousands of intelligent,reflecting men in the community who re- gard both these melancholy cases in their true and undisguised aspect; and from the turn which the popular mind isat length beginning to take,we have no doubt that the lesson which they both convey is sinking into it, and that great benefjt will be ulti- mately wrought to the cause of that strict and un- bounding administration of criminal justice, on which the stability of the very frame-work of society so essentially depends. A New Re.icion In THE FreLD—Wonverrut De- VELOPEMENTS.— We have just discovered a new re- ligion in the field of a highly concentrated, double distilled, transcendental character. It is entirely in opposition to Miller’s theory, and very different from. Mormenism, and approaching 1n its beatific vision, and eclectic character, the dectrines of Dr. William tion of criminal justice. Differing, it is true, in their minor details, and presenting individual pecu- liarities of distinctive interest and importance, yet they may all be ranged with propriety and justice under the same category, as presenting the same general result. The acquittal of McNaughton has thoroughly alarmed a great portion of the public in Great Bri- tain; and the press, with great unanimity, is expo- sing the dangerous consequences which are likely to result from the decision of the jury in that case. Since the trial of McNanghton, two individuals have been apprehended who had threatened to shoot the Queen and Sir Robert Peel, and another was caught parading Downing street ond Whitehall Gar- dens, with the same murderous intent The case had become the subject of investigation in Parlia- ment, anda very interesting diseussion,in which Lorde Lyndhurst, Brougham, Cottenham and Camp- bell, took part, had taken place in the House of Lords. 1tis likely that some important legislative action respecting the plea of in anity, and other questions connected with the adminisiration of criminal justice, will soon be taken by the British Parliament. The same views which we expressed on the termi- nation of the Mercer cese, have been taken by several journaliste throughout this country, and we have reason to believe that the great mass of the in- telligence and sober common sense of the commu- nity are disposed to adopt the opinions thus ex- pressed by the press. Amongst the newspapers which have sounded the alarm in the case of Mercer, we find the New York American, which published the other day the following sensible and judicious article, which exactly coincides with the views taken by our- selves :— ‘Tur Proaness or Demonatizatiox.—We promised some a oto give a hearing to a subscriber who had ad- sted us a warmly and vigorously written communica: tion on this sutject, but, at his request, it has been return- ed to him, only, we trust, to be remoieled into a more general and extended view than that first presented, and which turned mainly on the Mercer case. Meantime, we take his theme for our own, mainly to express our concur- rence with him—and we would fain hope with most of our readers—in uttering condemn: yn of the course and result of the Mercer trial. The quiet and orderly people of Gloucester county m to have lost the steadiness ef their judgments entirely upon the occasion, and judge, jury and spectators appear to have had but one pu . that of ensuring the acquittal of a man guilt , under how= ever aggravated provocation, and none could be greater, of adeliberatehomicide. Of this last fact there was no question, no serious pretence but that Mercer, after hav. ing insfiectually dogged the steps of Heberten for some days, did finally track and shoot him, and this fact places in & most strange ps the emphatic annunciation by Judge Elmer, in his charge to the jury, lest, apparently, they should be too severe, that itis better “ninety and nine guilty shculd escape than one innocent man perish.” The dictum itself has always seemed to us questionable, but here it had no application whatever, for it is not pre- tended that Mercer was “innocent.” The only point was | the nature and extent of h The homicide too certain—it was either justifiable or criminal— innocence of the ect was out of the question. Yet, practically, the jury, hy their verdict, declared | him innocent, for although they might’ not deem him guilty of murder, there was a killing in the case, which they were hound to declare to be either manslaughter or justifiable homicide. But they absolve him wholly, and the Court room re- sounds with plaudits! Nay moi popular ovation wa: prepared for the h-ro of this tragedy—no: only among the women and men of the little conntry town of Woodbury, but inthe streets of Philadelphia. A mother’s instinct taught her this could not be right, and she withdrew her Ellery Channing and Mr. Emerson. They may be called the “Saints of the Mist.” ‘We noticed in the Pathfinder of Saturday last, a discourse upon these new and beautiful theories by Rev. William H. Channing, and in the same paper, published by Park Godwin, there was an adve: ment (price 50 cents,) of a meeting of the Christian Union Society at the College in Crosby st. on Sun- day, and a lecture by Mr. Channing on the subject ot “Man made in the image of God.” In accord- ance with our custom when anything new ison the tapis, we sent one of our reporters to attend the lec- ture, who was completely electrified with the beauty and clearness of the doctrines advanced. The lec- ture was very fully attended by a highly intelligent and respectable audience of ladies and gentlemen, who were evidently very deeply interested and highly delighted. The lecture had one intrinsic and somewhat uncommon excellence—brevity. It was introduced with a few appropriate exercises, in which a hymn was sung. Love Divine, Hymn—Short metre. Love divine is love divine, A halo round the sovl, Alwondrous throb that saints define ‘A rainbow on the whole. Humanity’s a ray of light, The soul e threefold power, How dear the bosom, full and light, The holy saints’ soft bower. The following is as accurate a report of the lecture as our reporter is able to make out from his copious notes. It contains, as we believe, all the leading and important ideas :— The Sermon. Man as made in the image of God. Man fails to attain the ends of his creation. In theearly periods ofhis history he hai a simplicity and distinctness of mind, a directness of character, an energy of will, a force aud fulness of cheracter, which in latter years he has lost—and particularly aknowledge of human nature, and of the convergencies of man’s judgment. Man’s na. ture is threefold—he has three modes of action, all concen- trating and unfolding into the unity of the trinity. These three modes of existence are affection, intelligence, and will. And I am firm in the belief of all these three sp! [sphere—spheriod—spheriodé.] of human nature, which are exhibited the three progressive degrees of human excellence, combined with the fulness of animal instincts, and animal judgments. Some books consider man only the chief brute, but it only ows how little reliance can be placed on books—[books are paper and calf skin—calf skin and paper are books.] In the next place, we come to m iritual nature—a higher scale of philosophy, in which man separates him. self from every outward existence, and passes beyond the circuméerencé of animal instincts into the world of ener- gies, the central element of man. To this belong not those elements and animal instincts which characterise the inhabitants of the first sphere, but here you will find all the bright becutios and ethe scattered npon the wings of diverging radiances thro’ out the wide extended universe. 1 ritual nature, he uleo h nated by Swedenbor es that ever had an existence amid the accidents personality, or even of his identity, whereby we are filled with a foretaste of thet enthusiasm and earnest- ness which hepe for love with a willingness to return it. Thence come those ideas which lead on to essential per- sonalities from forever to forever, in the simplicity of hu- man volitions, and whose grand centre is trath, simple truth, mixed (ruth, eternal truth. ‘T' a heavenly na- me and eternal—in opposition to that other na- which Ihave spoken, being neithar more nor less than ali that comes through man’s outward nature, between the two he vermore acting out new life into himself. In all these respects man tnay be said in his essential pu- rity, to bear the image of God combination of power, beauty, and wisdom, which exist in the divine nature. If man receive a will that is free, he is con- son from the gaze and sympathy of the unthinking mul titude. and conveyed him privately to their residence in the city; but the father and the prisoner’s counsel, issuing from the very bost on which the assassination occurred, were received at the whar! by an immense concourse of peopie, who, opening to the right and left, made a passage for these heroes; and they, the father of thet youth who hal ‘tood on the verge of the scaftold, and his counsel » men—walked bareheaded through this crowd, ngits cheers, and, accompanied by such an escort, the public streets of Philadelpbia, till they reached their lodgings, when three final cheers were given them. ere the i considerate assemblage separated. Did Mr. P. D. Vroom ask himself what such a reception denoted, and what were its tendencies? Mr. V. is, we have heard, a religious man. Did he not shudder that night, in communing with his own heart.at having been even an unwilling actor in the day’s pageant?—the pa- geantof absolved crime, of blood.guiltiness robed in the white garb of innocence, and greeted as meritorious and well deserving! Another incident during the trial is full of meaning. Seme female witnesses were subpoenaed from Philadelphia, said to be of loose character, and there- fore the mob of Woodbury —for mob that is, however com- ported, that defies and de! the law—drove them out of thetown, without permitting them to appear in the Court House! And we have seen this applauded in some re- spectable journals! Suppose these women to have been what was assumed—shall thev, therefore, be excluded from testifying? To the jury alone it belongs to de- cite what weight shall be allowed to such testimony. Bat for bystanders, spectators, to interpose by force, and le the testimony altogether, t utterly wersive of rivbt and justice We desire not to be mi= taken in th any wise pallisting the enormit or ef the insuttera- bly insolent h he treated the brother of » magistrote in Philad t1pon the spor, Mercer ha put him to death, in hot blond and under most stinging ari’ intolerable ine sult, the werk and the worl law, and perhaps that higher law to which all most floally anewer, would have borne him ont, Bat to extend the charttable interpreta: tion of such an act, <0 done on a sudden, to # homicide, deliberately planned, pursved for days, and finally ac complished with unerting aim; or to invest with the closk of insanity a series o! acts evincing accurate calcu lation, is utter! unsettle all just notions of right and wrong, and to éxpose society to’all the disorders and dan- gers of unrestrained personal revenge. Whilst expressing our fall approbation of the tone and spirit in which the American denounces the de- cision of the jury in the case of Mercer, a decision palpably contrary to the evidence, we cannot re- frain from exposing the singular inconsistency of the stantly made to approximate nearer and nearer to the image of God, in which his spiritual nature becomes permenality It is not simply that there are not infinite armonies in the divine nature by which mancan distin- guish powers of choice amid temptations, to become ani- mal in his energy of will, py which he appreaches the image of God through this endowment of personalit; made to be free—and constituted to embrace more or jess of the conditions, and power to discharge them just in Proportion as the goodness of heaven flows through the divine nature, like the true orders and harmonies of the celestial world, in which his judgments become shaped into the will and image of God. Lastly —Man is made to become an image of God in respect to God’s eternities, in which life for a moment no longer exists, and then passes away forever. Here again all this truth anu ese around about him will uafold forever into itself spiritual- izing nature so far as he isa growing immortal. There are perts of truth which may be more fully d oped in you than in me. [“Oh no they ain’t”—piously whispered an old lady,] and if what I have said be truc, then what shail I say of the mode in which we treat our- selves and one another! I call you to witness, from your own experienee, that | have overstated nothing, but in fact understated all I have uttered, especially in re- Jation to man’s three-fold nature. 'We pass through life as though we were no better than animals =peing more like moles in the underground na- ture of our existence. Oh! the visions of our boyhood in which were first developed those energies of energies consistent and consummate, Oh' how is it that we are d crusts of our own selves haakering of ourown igentities? Why is it th simple impulses of goodn: within onrsel: reat chaos of human deprav: ties? There is no other possible explanation of this re- sult than the falseness growing out ofa burden of Jong de- parted existence. We are not the creatures we ought to be—and it is because we have to bear the burden of a long continued, uprising, accumulated entail of antiquated ex- istence, transmitted through the whole atmosphere of hu- man life amid the miasm of huma: listries on the one hand, an! celestial brightoesses emanating from angelic harmonies on the other. Why should a mortal man ever choose the wreng? It is because of the accumulations of scenes of wretchedness beneath the depths of depravity in man’s lower nature What I mean by all this is that in his thoughts man should cherish a deep and absorbing de- termination as to his destiny in his inmost spirit of spirits Jeep within him, as each year rolls around, that he will striveto gain back again retrogressively redeeming the waste lands of his existence. Look at a child born to a legacy of evil example in a diseased stmosphere, 80 maimed and stricken down by those miserable likenesses. Yes; and then we punish the chi and last ofall, when this thistle crop is ripe, then we imprison it and cut it off —only to deaden conscience within us and show how we cannot di fame paper in defending the analagous decision of the Court Martial in the case of Commander Me- Kenzie. Why is it that that virtuous indignation, which raises its voice so loudly in vindieation of the supremacy of the laws, and utters its de- nunciations against the jury who released the offen- der in the one case, is entirely silent in the other— nay, lauds to the skies the same regard to the lawe and evidence—the same browbeating influ- ence of friendsfand partisans—which brought like unmunity to the party accused? ‘i he similarity of the cases of MeKenzie and Mercer, ie certainly worthyot remark. In both cases it wae urged that the aceused parties were forced into the taking away ot the life of the individuals who fell by their hands—in both, statements calculated to prejudice the pablie mind were widely circulated on the part of he irends of the aecused—in both,powerful and eac- cesslul efforts were made to arouse popular feeling —in both, the verdict triumphed over the facts. Inaeed, there was in the case of Mercer much more to excite popular sympathy—much more to palliate the deeddone, Than in the case of McKenzie. ‘The latter had not violated female purity calling upon hie forvengeance.

We have re- cently seen a beautiful model made out, and out of polished metal, and so perfect as to show the com- plete operation of the machine, which even in this small apparatus sweeps up dirt ia the cleanest possi ble manner, and with the most expeditious speed, and deposits it in a box as it moves forward on wheels, thus sweeping and loading at the same time. Another modification of it takes mud from a wet street, in place of hoes, and loads itself in the same manner. This machinery will be found ameng the greatest labor saving inventions of the age. And, if employed by our city corpo- ration, the present dirty streets could be kept clean for a little more than what the manure collected would sell for. Fifty thousand dollars might be saved per annum to the city, by the use of thismachinery, which in five years would amount to the enormous sum of $250,000 over the present contract. Dr. Jones is the inventor of this inge- niously contrived machinery, and can adduce the most conclusive proof of his having invented it nearly a year ago—long before any notice of Mr ‘Whitworth’s invention in Manchester ever reached this country. We hope his machinery may find speedy employment, either in the hands of the pre- sent contracters, or with the corporation. We un- derstand an agent of Mr. Whitworth had arrived, but not till after Dr. Jones had taken out a caveat, and adopted other measures to secure his patent. Tue Fresxets.—Following are additional par. ticulars of the freshets at the east, west, south and north :— CummerLann.—Letters from Cumberland, re- ceived by the mail of Saturday night, state that the water had overflowed all that part of the town in the neighborhood of Searight’s Hotel, and all the streets which run parallel with Will’s Creek. The inundation was unprecedented, and had done a great deal of damage. Much difficulty was experienced in passing over the rail road, the tracks of which at some points were entirely under water, particularly along the Cacapon and South Branch of the Poto- ie river, embracing a distance of three or four mules. Harrer’s Ferry.—We also learn that at Harper’s Rene the river had swollen very much, and was neeny as high as the railroad bridge. It was sup- posed that it had attained its greatest elevation and was subsiding.—Baltimore American. Tue Poromac.—The heavy rains and melting of the deep snow in the mountain region west of us has produced a great flood in the Potomac, from which disastrous effects are much to be apprehend: ed. In our neighborood, at Georgetown, the wharves were generally overflowed on Saturday and yester- day, and a general inundation of the lower part of the town anticipated. From Cumberland, we have the subjoined infermation; and we heard by way of Baltimore yesterday, from the passengers who last reached that city from Cumberland, that parts of the railroad over which they travelled are already four or five feet under water.—Nat. Intelligencer, April 17. _ AvBany.—The rise of the river, a day or two since, indicated that the snows at the north and weet, about the head watersof the Hudson and Mo- hawk, had began to yield to the potent“sun; and on Saturday the occupants of buildingsin the lower dis- tricts ot the city were ousted, according to custom The damage has not been extensive, however, a8 there was time for preparation. The river is not as high asit was at the breaking up in January last.— Albany Argus, April 17. Troy.—The river rose rapidly on Saturday and Sunday. At 12 o’clock on Sunday it was within 3 or 4 feet of the highest point it ever reached during afreshet. The wharves are all overflowed, but no damage has been sustained that we have heard of. —Tyroy Whig, April 17. The Ice moved out of Buffalo Harbor on Wed- nesday night, causing no injury whatever. It is ex- pected the Lake will be open by Ist of May. Onto.—The bridge acroas the Maumee River at this place, has taken French leave. It could not withstand the pressure of the ice that was forced by the currentjagainst it.—Cincinnati Gazette, April 14. Tue Detaware.—The Delaware was very high yesterday. The creeks above the city running into the river were also very high, and the lowlands in the Jersey were flooded. The cars from Trenton yesterday morning for three miles between Lam- bertville and Bordentown, passed through a sheet of water, Epes the track of the railroad.—Phil. Times April 1 Grorata.—The Savannah, Geo. Republican of the 11th inst. states that a larger freshet than had been known for some years, had occurred. The waters had broken through the dams of some of the upper rice fields, and the damage to most of the planters would be of a serious nature. At Georgetown on Saturday, the river was full, and the wharves generally overflowed. The Wilhamsport Banner of Saturday, which town is located immediately on the river, under date of 13 o'clock, = “At the time of going to [i the riveris as high as the memorable June reshet of 1836, which then caused serious and ex- tensive injury to the canal. The water has over- flowed the banks in many places, and we fear will cause considerable damage.” Conngcricut.—The Connecticut is swollen to an unusual degree, and was rising when our paper went to press. It must now be 24 or 25 feet above low water mark. Front street is covered, and “ Village street continued,” is covered with the exception of about one or two rods at the upper end. The lower part of Windsor street, for some forty rods, is under water. A great many dwellings are completely sur- rounded, and there must, as a matter of course, be much suffering, pee Bees families residing within the compase of the flood. A number have been taken off in boats, the water driving them from the second story. We have not yet heard of any seri ous damage. ‘The rise is owing to the heavy body of snow above, and the late warm rains. This Morning a north-east rain storm set in, which pro- mises an aera: and long continued flood.— Hartford Times, April 17. New Jersey.—The heavy rains of Friday swelled the Assanpink and the Delaware again to an un- usual height. They continued to rise until Sunday afternoon or evening ; but on Monday morning the waters had fallen again. On the river no damage has been done, and nothing more valuable than drift wood has been brought down. On the As- sanpink the waters burst again through the great breach. made by the late freshet arouad the Green street bridge; and did some trifling damage to the work which had just been done there in repairing the breach. The railroad below Trenton, on the meadows, was covered on Sunday with water to the depth of eighteen inches or two feet, for a mile or two. A culvert near Burlington was so much damaged that the Sunday morning train from Philadelphia did not reach Trenton until two hours after the usual time.— Trenton Gazette, Aprit 18. Tue Arrican Vocatists.—We venture to say that nothing upon a par with these gentry has ever ap- peared upon the boards of old Drury. It is painful to see this theatre so reduced—even toa level with the Five Points. They had much better shut up, and write for its motto, ““Fuit Slium.” Can it be that this theatre can have no success without such pitiful resorts? And yet Hackett is obliged to play within the same walls around which the sounds of the banjo and the tune of “Lucy Long,” are still echoing. ™ Tue Brovenam’s at tHe Cuatnam.—Last night Mr. and Mra. Browgham made their debut on the Chatham boards to a tolerably fair house. The weather was rather unfavorable, so not much could be expected. Their performances were enthusiasti- cally received, however, and enough evinced to warrant usin the belief that they will have a good run. To-night they appear again in two pieces— the comedy of the Wonder, and the farce of His Last Lege. Mustcav.—Mrs. C. E. Horn announces her inten- tion of giving an Irish musical entertainment at the Apollo, aweek from to-day. Some of the most ad- mired Trish melodies, both ancient aud modern, will be sung by several of our popular artists. Mr. Timm will preside at the piano. Sic Benepip’s Concrat.—This gentleman giv} his concert on Friday next. We understand that extensive preparations for it are in progress, of which we shall have occasion to speak again. Deatu or Dr. Provprir.—The Rev. Dr. Proudfit, Secretary of the New York City Colonization So- ciety, died at the house of his son, in New Brune- wick, N. J., on Sunday las Scarorry or Fooper.—Cattle continue to starve to death ail over the west. Many farmers shoot their cattle to prevent them from suffering a worse death. ~~ Leaistative Procerpines.—We have received Albany papers of Monday. They are full of legis- tive proceedings. As the legislature adjourned yes- terday, we give the last movements that have reached us: LeeisLaTuRE.—The near approach of the termi- nation of the session has driven both branches to long sittings. The house did not adjourn until within a few minutes of midnight on Saturday, having held an uninterrupted session of fourteen hours. 4 % In the House the following bills were passe In relation to the State Prison. (Pentz’s bill.] Ayes 62, nays 28. As a ‘To allow Railway Companies to be sued in Justices ato repeal the New York fire limit ‘o repeal the New York fire limits For the relief of contractors on the suspended public works. ‘The House of Assembly has finally passed the bill deny- ing to persons whose liberty is in question, the right of trial by jury. ‘ ‘The New York city annual tax bill. Reducing the fees for mspecting lumber. ‘The question on the final passage of the following bills was ladon the table: — ‘To repeal the usury law. Relative to the location of the New York and Erie Rail- way. This is known as the Sullivan County bill. ‘The House refused to take up the motion to reconsider the vote rejecting bill. POSTSCRIPT. Adjournment of the Legisiature. By our Special Reporter arrived this morning at 4 o’clock from Albany by the Rochester, we have the exclusive information that the Legislature finally adjourned last evening at 5 o0’ctock. The Law abolishing Bank Commissioners passed and was signed by the Governor yesterday. The Law repealing all compulsory Inspections after the Ist of December next, was passed and signed by the Governor. This will nearly destroy the emoluments of all the recently appointed in- apectors for this city. The amended Law making the appointment of an Inspector General cf Hides was repealed. The act dividing the Flour Inspection of this city between three Inspectors, with no Deputies was defeated in the Senate. The bill calling for a better regulation of the Sandy Hoek Pilot Law was laid on the table in the Senate. The bill amending the charter of the Nautilus Insurance Company giving it similar powers to the New York Mutual—that is, Life, Fire and Marine Insurance was hurried through at 2 0’. clock and signed by the Governor. This is the only bill that received the benefit of the Life in- surance clause during the session. Several attempts were made to receive the $84,000 of Pu! lieLand money but the Democrats voted i: down in the House although it passed in the Senate. The bill reducing the hospital fees on steerage passengers from 75 to 25cts per head, was passed. The act te exempt goods seld at auction, by for- eign underwniters, from the payment of commissions to the Port Wardens of the city of New York, was passed, but on motion of Mr. Glazier ot New York, was reconsidered and laid on the table. The Astor Mutual Insurance Company was passed and isa law. fg No alteration has been made in the odious militia law. Water at Albany is eight feet on the pier, and the streets in the lower part of the city were completely overflowed. U. S. Cireult Court, Present te Circuit and District Judges. Arnit 18.—The United States vs. Jesse Hoyt.—The Court sat precisely at 10 o'clock and called upon thede- fendant’s Counsel to proceed with the defence. Mr. Gray, aclerk in the Gustom House, was put on the stand and examined—Testified that he was in the or- dinance department of the Custom House during the time Mr. Hoyt was Collector; came into the employment the day on which Mr. Hoyt took office; is employed there up to the present time. A book containing the forms made use of by the Custom House was produced to witness, which he identified. The First fourteen pages contained @ schedule of forms of keeping the Custom House pccounts, with notes and explanations zs instructions to the oficers of the different departments in the Custom House. Ry long does it take to enter the contents of one vessel. jemetimes two months; there are three process through which the entries relating to a cargo pass before we reach the account current; thinks there are moretnan 50 different kinds of accounts of which the accouut cur- rent is made up. Ittakesthree months after the expira- tion of thefquarter, with the assistance of 25 clerks, to make up the quarterly accounts previous te sending them to Washington. It was the duty of the Auditor to super intend that department; it was his duty to see that the footings corresponded with the abstracts in his own office and that the accounts were elosed. In the quarterly ac- counts there is nothing to indicate when and by whom the cash duties were received Mr. Hoyt did not, to wit ness’ knowledge, test the accuracy of those accounts; it would be impossible for him to do #o from the multiplicity of his other duties; it would be impossible for Mr. Hoyt and oneclerk to ge over the Custom House accounts in two years; it would take 25 persons to do itin three years. The accounts atter being made eut were present- ed to Mr. Hoyt for his signature; he never read them. Cross-examined by District Arroxney—The delay in making up the accounts does not arise from the actual le. bor of making the entries, but from the neglect and delay in making those entries, and passing them through the different offices. The cashier makesa general entry of the cash received, but does not make any returns of the cash he receives; dees not know of any check on the cashier but the check kept by the owners or consignees Upon heing further pressed, the witness snid theabscract in the impost book was a eheck on the cashier, and it would also show the bonds taken. There isa naval efficcr whose duty it is to examine and check those accounts; he is also a check upon the cashier;cannot say positively if the entries in the naval officer’s books are a check upon the cashirr; there are 70 or 80 clerks in the custom house; itis their duty to give every facility to the collector in examining the accounts; never knew any obstruction to be given to Mr. Hoyt, or any books to be withheld from him. To a question Led Judge Trompson, thinks it is practi- cable, by an examination of the books, to detect any er- ros inthe acco Epwarp Cur Esq. examined—Entered on his duties on the 234 of March, 1841; there is very little time forthe collector to examine the accounts as made up;the duty must necessarily be delegated to others; witness examines the accounts so far as to see that the cash balance returned by the auditor is thesame as the cash in the cashier's hands; it is the daily practice to ledge the amount of money in the cashier’s handsin bank, to the credit of the United States Treasurer; the collector cannot examine the gene- ral details of the quarterly accounts; he must rely on the integrity and intelligence of the persons who make them out; witness has 7 liance on the intelligence of the present naval officer, as a check upon those accounts. ‘The auditor has the means of detecting any errors inthe quarterly accounts. Itis not from the mode of keeping the aecounts, that any difficulty arires, but from the mul- tiplicity of business.” It is competent for the Collector to change the mode of keeping the accounts, if he sees fit ; the entries in the naval officer’s books are a perfect check on the cash: formerly it was not the case. It is practica ble for the Collector to check the balance on the Cashier accounts with the balanceson the quarterly account Witness keeps journal and ledger by double entry of all business in the custom house, the fame as merchants usually do. Direct resumed.—Witness thinks that the mode of keeping the journal at present, is not a violation of the instructions contained in the book now produced to him He never looked at the instructions before. He has kept haf book he thought fit for kis own protection. It would be impracticable for the Collector, as the books were formerly kept, to ascertain how he stood with the overnmenton a given day, if he were called upon to 80, but it would have been practicable for him to do so in three months after. When Mr. Curtis’s examination was finished, the court and jury took a rece: After the court had assembled, Mr. Capwatuapen called G. A.Brown,clerk to Mr. Hoyt, who testified to the hook now producedio him and marked B, containing Mr Hoyt’ receipts to Mr. Swartwout; and that a sum of $600 not appearing on the Custom House books, with which Mr. Hoyt was charged, and for which he does not appearto have got credit. The paper now produced contains a general account of bonds. By the modeof making the entries in this account, Mr. Hoyt is charged with $5,000, although not properly chargeable agai him. "This sum 1* composed of two items, tie smaller one of which is credited to Mr. Hoyt. Witness pointed out eighteen entries inthis book, by which it appeared Mr, Hoyt was charged with the amount of several bonds in though parts of those gross sums had been paid r. Swartwout, his predecessor. A letter of Mr. Hoyt’s, dated in 9 tember, 1841, to Mr. Fleming the comptroller, stating that the list of the bonds handed over to him by his predecessor was inaccurate and stating that he never received the mumbers inserted in that list was produced. This letter was offered and read, with a view to show that Mr. Hoyt was using all the nce in his power to correct such errors and abuses in the mode of transacting business in the Cus- tom House, and to show that from the mode of keeping the accorints nothing but confusion could arise. Another letter was read, dated 13th September, 1941, ben same person, onthe same subjects, with the same view. At this stage of Brown's examinatio nay between the counsel on hoth &i 10 the effect of nis testimon The cow for Mr. Hoyt argued that it went directly to show that the latter was charged with monies received by his predecessor—while the District Attorney argued, that it showed those sums were over paid by the obligors inthe bonds. He has been employed investigating those accounts about a year for the purpose of detecting errors—Mr. Hoyt has been actively employed during that time; I have investigated only the account between Mr. Swartwout and Mr. Hoyt ; that part of the subject has taken up the greater part of my time and it wan the most accessible; it only embraces one tenth of the whole subject ; Thave examined nothing but by gene- Mas agi f tg Hoyt's time, while in office, was princi. pally employed in correspendence deciding on cases brought before him in his official capacity ; he always rgument took while witness was in the Custom ‘came into Mr. Hoyt’s pri- Nov., 1888 ; Mr. H.

It purpertsto be ach ck list of the daily statement of his cash account, showing the differ ence between the cash on hand and what appears on the face of the cash account. The difterence between them would be chi rgeable against him—examived th and found a difference between the cash on hand cash account; showed it to Mr. Hoyt; McDaeiel, another of the assiatants in the cashier’s office, neglected to collect interest on the duties en woollens to the amount of be- tween $300 and $400 in one quarter; reported it to Mr. Hojt, and McDaniel was dismissed; Mr. Hoyt never re- ceived any of the cash which passed through the Custom House except what hereceivel for contingencies. Cross-examined.—The naval officer’s accounts are a check upon the cashier’s; the book of the cashier is sent into the naval officer; there are duplicate entries also furnished to him; he had the means of detection by those 'e entries; the returns sent from the dashier to the naval officer furnish the correct data for the quarterly ac counts; the paper shown to witness was Mr.Phillips’ check list om the cash scceunt; it shows the cash received and the cash on hand; it appears by it that a sum of $293,171 64 was entered on the cash book, and that there were $233,- 670 690n hand, leaving a balance against Phillips of $399 16; McDaniel was a clerk in the effice; he neglect. edto collect the duties; this circumstance would not affect Mr. Hoyt’s account; the government alone would be af- fected by it;the same discrepancies as those in the paper now produced, appeared on witness’ list; he has paid over the balance tothe government, and Phillips mght have done the same; the naval officer has a duplicate entry of duties sent into his office, and by checking them over terwards with the collector's accounts, any error or dis- crepancy could be detected. id essor ; Mr. recrcDaniel and General Seasions.

GG Of the many novelties at the American Museum it would be difficult to pronounce which isthe most at- tractive—some preter the “fat boy,” others admire Win- chell. Miss Darling has her enthusiastic advocates; Miss Phillips her staunch supporters; Chang Fong his particu. lar partisans, and the snakes, too, have their patrons.— Though we connot particularly select one as superior to the others, yet we unhesitatingly assert that as a whole they cannot be surpassed in point of attraction, extent and variety, at any other place of amusement in New York This is positively the last week of Daniel Lambert, Jr. He says he is afraid to remain any longer, for he is getting fat so fast that if he don't depart soon, he won't be eble te get out of the Museum atall. There will be splendid per- formance this afternoon at 2 o'clock. 0G Peale’s New York Museum appears to be in the full tide of success once more. The humorous, eccentric, droll and diverting Dr. Valentine holds forth in such an irresistibly comic vein that it would make astoic smile. There is no mistake about the Dr.—he is the essence of ec- centricity, Signor Blits comes in for his share of ap- plause, and though his entertainment is in a totally dif- ferent line, yet he displays so much humor in the perform ance of his feats, and excites so much mirth by his pecu- liar powers of ventriloquism, that he affords an equal de- light with the Dr. La Petite Cerito, the graceful and charming danseuse, captivates her company by her ele- gant and sylph-like motions.
