Yours, &e. NED. In connection with this letter, we have recently learned the following scheme as got up on the last Q ett, one of the counsel of Edwards, r ipation in the last trial, and im- mediately afierwards was subponaed as a witness for the defence. He ended, and upon enquiry from ¢ | asto what was desired or what know- ledge he possessed of benefit to the accused, he was informed that as he had been in the habit ot receiv- g letters from the friends of Edwards in New Or- 18, directed to his care, they desired him to testi- fy tothe reception of a letter that was shown him direeted to Edwards, and purporting to be froma gentleman of the bar of New Orleans, contain. ing the post mark of that city. Mr. Emmett exam- ned the letter, but remembering that all the letters received by him for Edwards had been enclosed in an envelope, and that Edward’s letters therefore cen- tained no post mark, he so informed counsel and was not called as a witness. Notwithstanding this fail- withdrew ure to accomplish what was desired by the letter, and for the purpose of endeavoring to satisfy the court and jury, that Recorder Vaux was not a clear judge of the handwriting of Edwards, he was called to the witness stand and the letter purporting to be from New Orleans, and another in the handwriting ef Edwards, were handed him for examination with the signatures turned over. He scrutinized them closely, and decided that one was certainly written by edwards, and that he thought the other was also, but appeared cramped and disguised. After giving this opinion he was requested to look at the back of the letter which he thought was written in the disguised hand of Edwards, when to his aston- ishment he found that it was addressed to Edwards himself, to the care ot Mr. Emmett, and dated at New Orleans, with a post mark since his arrest for forgery! He felt a little chagrined and concluded within himself as he stepped trom the witness stand that he had been too positive in thus testifying to the New Orleans letter. As he passed Edwards, the with the utmost nonchalance observed— u see, Mr. Recorder, hew it is—I am not at all prised that you were mistaken in that letter, as is A similarity in it to my hand-writing ; but result has eertainly shown you now easy it is to be mistaken in matters like this, and how careful a person should be in swearing away the Jiberty of another on his judgment ot mere hand writing alone.” The Recorder made a simple response, bat still believed that his opinion was correet.— Since the trial it has been ascertained that the New Orleans letter was a perfect forgery, post mark and all, and no doubt was written by Edwards himself, with adisguised hand. This shows the deep cun- ning of the rogue, but all his wits would not save him from Sing Sing With ail the tact of Edwards, he evinced ind sense when first arrested, al. r d that he supposed that the mo- n from conviction. Had he told Ju Lowndes and Recorder e vored to make the court and community believe that is, that the mo- ney had been 0 his possession by Mr. Charles Johnson of Texas, he w 4 have been allowed to depart at once, and if he had asked, would Lo doubt have received a certificate of indemnification from the parties concerned to pay Mr. Johnson the mo- ney if he ever came forward and claimed it. Or if he had claimed & portion of the money as histown und averred that he had received the remainder as now stated, that portion would have been surren- dered at once, and the whole police of the country still have been in search of the supposed forger Johnson, and Col. Monroe Edwards been moving} in fashionable life instead of stitching boots among convicts at Sing Sing.

Insurrection and Attempt to Burn Sing Sing State Prison. By a special express from Sing Sing we are en- abled te give our readers this morning an exclusive and full account of an attempt made at insurrection, and to burn Sing Sing Prison, which took place on Saturday last, by a portion of the prisoners—also, the removals, appointments, and some further re- markable disclosures, &c. See first page. Tne Crisis oF THE NEXT PRESIDENCY—QUARRELS AND DisoORGANIZATION IN THE Democratic FamiLy.— The nomination by the legislative caucus at Albany of Mr. Van Buren for the next Presidency, and the recommendation to hold the Convention in Novem- ber next at Baltimore, have created a prodigious ferment throughout the whole length, breadth and thickness of the democratic elements all over the country. We believe that the crisis is mow at hand—that the final triumph of Mr. Van Buren or that of Mr. Clay will depend very much on the movements that may be made in this city before the 12th of May. Accordingly the ‘“‘democracie” have called a meet- ing of the “old men” to-night at Tammany Hall, to consider and determine what is to be done—whether they will carry out the purposes of the legislative caucus by a mass meeting at Tammany Hall, and declare for a Convention in November, oriwhether they will give way to the opposition of the ‘‘de- mocracie” that are in favor of Calhoun, Tyler, and Cass, who want 4 Convention in May, 1844. The following is the call:— DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN GENERAL COM- MITTEE. A Special Meeting of the Democratic Republican General Committee will take place at Tammany Hall on MONDAY EVENING, 24th inst. (to-night) at half past To’clock. By order, A. HATFIELD, Chairman, Gro. H. Purser, { Secretaries. Dan's. E. DeLavan, It is generally understood that this Committee is convened forthe purpose of proposing a mass meeting to counteract that portion of the ‘‘ democracie” who are in favor of a May Convention and of Mr. Cal- houn and Captain Tyler. If the movement of the legislative caucus is to succeed, the whole ‘‘de- mocracie” must at once take high ground in favor of Mr. Van Buren and the November Convention.— They cannot recede. They must either march for- ward boldly to their object, or Mr. Van Buren is for- ever put down and annihilated. In this position of things it is highly important for the friends of Tyler, Calhoun, and the other candi- dates, to decide on their policy, and to take their pe- sition at once. This is the very crisis of their for- tunes. If the Albany movement succeed, then is Captain Tyler cut off, at ence and ferever, from any hope or any chance. Mr. Calhoun is not in so bad a position, because the triumph of Mr. Van Bu- renin carrying the party now, will only postpone his chances till 1848. In such an important crisis, it becomes an inter- esting question what these opposing elements mean to do in regard to the Albany nomination. The following extracts {rom the several organs of Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Tyler, at Washington, will indi- cate their purposes :— {From the Washington Spectator—Calhoun.} Big Disoncanization Or THe Democnaric Pan- PONSIBLE FoR 1T 7—We honestly ere regret we are called upon to publish tue resolutions adopted by some of the demo- cratic members ot the ley ture of the State of New York at a caucus held in Albany some hours after the ad- journment ofthat body We say some—for whether the; were adopted by five, or ten, or twenty, or a hare majori- ty. we have no means of finding out. '|We believe the whole number signed it.} tee ER ee The first two of the resolutions are of the most disorga- nizing tendency, and in open defiance of the expressed opinien of ten States in regard to the mode and time of holding the National Convention. It rides rough-shod over the democracy of the City of New York. Will they submit to be thus dictated to and cheated out of their rights by a caucus composed oftheir own treacherous de- legates ?_ [Humbug.] Ifthe State of New York were in reality desirous of making an issue with the majority of her sister States, we should b« surprised.iand should truly regret such a itis notso, The mass of the demecracy of the re not disorganisers, or ready to be dicta- ted to by a fi ire pullers at Albany. The primary meetings and assemblages of her democracy will prove this, ere many days have passed. Again, we repeat, tl democracy of New York are not responsible for these re solutions, which are not the expressson of the people.- for harmony, and fair, just dealing. They will convention in which the delegates tu represent e shall come from the people direct, and held st the usual time, which is May, 1844. This caucus nothing about the tariff; not one word ; they are as silent as the grave upon a subject 50 deeply interesting to the South, the West, andthe North— to the agricultural, mercantile, and mechanical interests of the conntry ; the Question of Questions to the city of New York herself, whose very existence depends upon the freedom of her trade. If a few disorganizing spirits in the States of New York or Virginia choose to cut loose from the great body of the Democratic party in the Union, and call and ho! vention next week or next November, upon their heads will remain the odium; of the proceedings. Thank God, the principles of the party, or defeat the will be nominated by the people's convention at th usual time in May, 1844. ‘The worst they can do, by running acandidate, (should they adhere to a November nomina- tion,) is to throw the election into the House of Represen- tatives, when the candidate nominated in 1944 would be elected. Prot confess that it is with [From the Madisonian—Tyler.} Fourtn Monvay or Novemsenr.—We trust every De- mocratic paper in the Union will promptly express its opinion as to the time when the Nationel Convention should be held. [We express our opinion in favor of both November and May—the more, the merrier.— Ed.Herald.} The subject is of vast importance. A general expression of opinion in relation to the time likely to be preferred by the party, would, perhaps, avert much difficulty, if not disaster. Six weeks might suffice to know the preference of the party. Tue Avoaxy Cavcus.—We have many letters from the region round about Albany, which concur in the opinion that the decision of the recent Legislative Caucus may not be confirmed by the People. Some think the People will proceed to elect Delegates to the National Conven- tion, themselves, and by districts, to assemble in Baltimore late in May, and to vote per capita. From these very important extracts, taken from the central organs of the Calhoun party, as well as the “‘guard” of Captain Tyler, it would seem that an issue is at once to be taken before the people, on the time and mode et holding the convention. In this important crisis, the next Presidency now stards on the weight of a feather. If the friends of Mr. Van Buren recede from their ground, they are destroyed for ever. They must take the chances of a mass meeting at Tammany Hall, or give up at once. It is very evident that the movement is of the very highest im- portance te the country—and every new step must be singularly attractive. Mr. Clay’s prospects begin to brighten up every day. Don’t despair, Harry. Late rrom Havana.—News tothe 8th inst. has been received at New Orleans. The negro insurrection in the districts of Carderas and Cimarrones has been completely quelled. Eighty of the ringleaders (who are stated allto be- Jong to the Lucumi tribe,) were shot on the 2d inst. and forty-five were whipped on theirrespective plan- tations. The railroad tracts running into the inte rior which were so much damaged as to be unfit for use, were being repaired and would be ready for the transportation of goods ina few days. No fears were entertained that any more (efforts of “ rising” would be made. The dates from Mexico contain nothing of inte- rest. Mr. Packenham, the British Minister in Mexico, arrived in Havana in the steainer Thames from Vera Cruz. The Thames had on $384,000 in specie. board Tur Fine Axts.—Huntington’s two pictures, ta- ken from subjects in Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, are the most beautiful gems of the day. They are exhibited at the granite buildings, corner of Broad- way and Chambers streets, and are truly worth see- ing. So is the door-keeper. Secret Proccedings of the New Board of Common Council, in Caucus Assembled, The Democratic members of the new board have held several private and confidential meetings, and on Saturday last decided in caucus upon the appoiut- ment of certain gentlemen, whose names are down on the “Red Slate.” The following are the mem- bers present :— Common Counc: ALDERMEN Paesent, Assistants Present. 1 Oliver Charlock 4 Robert Martin David T. Williams 6 Francis R. Tillow Robert Pattison 6 John E omans Thomas 8. Henry 7 James Ni Charles H. Dougherty 8 David Vandervoort {Charles P. Brown 9 Wm. D. Waterman Isaac B. Smith 10 Elijah F.

Seaman 17 Frederick R. Lee James Pettigrew. The following are the appointments as written onthe “red slate,” and up fora shave at Jem Grant’s, No. 1 Ann street :— President of the Board—This was an unanimous vote in favor of our favorite, Elijah F. Purdy, Esq.—Politics Van Buren. District Attorney—Joun W. Edmonds, Esq.—Politics Van Buren—resident until the last four years in Colum. bia county. Mr. E. was opposed by James T. Brady, Esq. and John McKeon. Mr. Brady, with a very little exer- tion could have secured for himself this appointment, but Mr. McKeon’s chance from the beginning, was very slim, owing to his politics, which are for Cass. Corporation Attorney—Samuel J. Tilden—Politics Van Buren—resident of the city since 1883, native of Columbia county; claims, Chairman of the Young Men’s Committee. Mr. Tilden was Las opposed by several of the most influential ofthe “old bunkers,” who werejin favor of a Mr. Somebody a year ortwo in thecity, and at present in the office of Benjamin F. Butler. Printer to the Board—Levi D. Slamm—Politics Van Buren—claims, the hardest and most efficient workin, man of the party, to say nothing ofthe six thousand dol- sunk by him'in the Plebeian. Mr. §. was opposed by Mr. Boggs of the'Evening Post ,who, it is.said, received the support of a certain Al¢erman for this fat job, in conside. ration of voting for his brother-in-law for office in the Board of Assistants. Mr. Boggs is disqualified by the city charter (ex-officio,) from receiving or holding oflice, or partaking of emoluments other than such as are distinctly mentioned therein—elways excepting any odd bit of rope or iron about the deck. Public Administrator—A Mr. Mitchell—Politi determined—believed to be in r of Tyler, Cas Buren, Calhoun, or Clay—claims, two years in the city; voted, it is suppesed, for Mayor Morris, not positive,how- ever. His wherefrom or whereabouts not known, al- though we have made earnest enquiry into the sub- ject. This*person was opposed by Judge Mor. rell, David R. Porter, and James Connor, Poor Con- nor has been defeated on all sides; cheated in Albany, and pleyed with in the city by the Common Council ; and strange to say, that in both cases his successful opponents have been men wholly unknown to the party. Stick to your types, Conner, for the future; trust to neither friends nor politicians; you have been rolled by the ene, and hum- bugged by the other. Clerk to the Board of Assistants.—Doctor Bartols, or some such other name. Politics—Alderman Waterman’s brother-in-law. Claims—Alderman Waterman’s brother- in-law. Capacity—Alderman Waterman’s brother-in- Jaw. It is also believed that the Doctor voted at the last election for Mayor Morris and Alderman Waterman, his brother-in-law. Comptroller.—Thus office is not settled upon, and it rests between Mr. Jeremiah and the last democratic incumbent Alfred A. Smith. Smith will probably be the successful candidate, as he has Mayor Morris and several other dis- finguist a members of the party using their exertions in is behal These are all the names that we can place on the “red slate” at present. The Caucus lield three ses- sions, and went through a great deal of work. At the close they passed a unanimous vote of eternal se- crecy and everlasting mystery over all these doings. They meet again this week to proceed in the vast number of remaining appointments. As each batch of appointments is agreed upon in secret session, it will be published confidentially and exclusively in the Herald, which is now the sacred and favorite organ of the Corporation Caucus of the “demo. cracie” of New York. Loup Cats For tuat Vots.—Tue Case oF McKenziz.—The guilt or innocence of McKenzie is becoming more and more a topic of popular in- terest. A meeting of his friends has been held at Tarry- town, and resolutions passed in favor of his gallan- try, humanity, courage, and true piety. This is all well and amiable, but the meeting showed a mos, thorough contempt for the facts developed on the trial, when they talked as if a mutiny had actually taken place on board the Somers. But en passant, many newspapers on the other side are coming out against McKenzie, and calling upon his friends to state the true vote of the Court Martial. Here is one—the Albany Argus :— Com. McKenzre.—There is very naturally some specu. lation and inquiry in Terard to the vote by which Com. McKenzie escaped conviction by the Court Mariial. It is asserted on “undoubted authority” in some quarters that seven ofthe court were for conviction and five for acquit- tal, and that Com. owes his acquittal to the fact that the law of Congress requires a vote of two thirds to con- viet of a capital offence. And in others more friendly to Com. M., that there was, at most, but one dissentient. The public aright, (and there 1s nothing in the oath of secresy taken by members of the court or the Judge Ad- vocate to forbid it,) to know how the vote stood, though it seems they may not be permitted to know the opinions of ind:vidual members of the court, unless it shall become necessary in the progress of a judicial investigation. ‘Whether the vote stood seven to five, or eleven to one, i a fact which may be disclosed without trenching upon the rivileges of the court, or the usages in such cases; and k ry necessary to enable the public to judge whether tl eli ince of the accused was the triumphant vindi- it is said to be by his friends. Ifit wassuch a would have resulted in a disagreement before a vote jury, anda new trial, the public will regard the question of guilt or innocence as still open, notwithstanding the promulgated verdict of the court.—Albany Argus. ‘We agree with the Argus, and ask for more light. Let us have the vote. Great Western Exrresses.—The line of wes- tern expresses is now extended and completed from this city, northward and westward, from this city to Albany, and Buffalo, by Pomeroy & Co., and thence onward by Messrs.

Moke or THe OvrraGes IN Savannan.—It ap- pears that the outrages have been continued in Sa- vannahr The Republican of that city, of the 19th, published the following :— We understand the persons who have been concerned in the recent outrages on our river, have made threats against several captains who have resisted them in their lawless proceedings. Yesterday, as Capt. White, of barque tllen, who went to the rescue of the ship Pert! shire, was passing down the bay to the counting room of his consigness, about fifty sailors rushed out of some of the boarding houses, and used threatening and insulting language to him. He kept them off till he got to a place of safety, by threatening to shoot the first man who mo- lested him. He then sent a message to the mershal, who promptly repaired to the spot and arrested two of the ringleaders. They were examined and bound over to keep the peace, and for want of bail were committed to jail. Some of the sailors concerned in this disgraceful proceeding were wounded while on their pirating excur- sions down theriver.

Tue Last Murver.—An Irishman named Patrick Rush, a laborer, of 62 Centre street, was knocked down on Saturday by a fellow named Edward Di- mon, a five point loafer, recently from Blackwell’s Island, and falling upon the curb stone, died almost immediately afterwards from apoplexy,superinduc: ed by the blow and fall on the side walk. The cor- oner held an inquisition inthe Grand Jury room yesterday morning, when the foilowing testimony was elicited :— Exten Rusu, being duly sworn, said that the deceased was her husband, and was born in Ireland—he was 46 ears of age, and lived at Mr. McKee’s, 62 Centre street— ie left the house about 12 o’clock Eppes and I did not ace him afterwards alive—I found him at the city prison dead, and was informed by Mr. Broply of the corner of An- thony and Centre streets, that he had been taken there. ‘Tuomas Swan, being duly sworn, says—I liveat 153 Anthony street; Ihave frequently seen the deceased; he sometimes was intemperate; I saw him yesterday morning about 10 o'clock, corner of Little Water and Anthony streets; he appeared to bea little in liquor; he was incom pany with another man whom I donot know; I saw him Pevia In'tha‘alternoon’ beliseen thten’ and sour: o'clock, bout three doors from where | live;I saw him fall upon the pavement; sawno person near him at the time he fell,he got up after wards and followed a man to the'pump; he did not appear to be injured by the fall ; there was no bloed’upon him; I do not know the man;I should know himif I saw hi Q—Is that tl oner.) A.—It is; this man draweda fail of water and laid it down on the side of the walk, and then the two men commenced Nhe ierey but Idid not hear any thing that passed between them; I then saw this man draw off and atrike the deceased with his fist; he knocked him down, but I did not see him strike more than one blow. Gronce Rotovan called and swern—I live at 149 An- thony street, and had seen deceased, but had no acquaint- ance with him; I found him lying on the pavement yes- ly opposite my house; his head was ging: on and he eppeared to have been ble nd from a cut in the head; he appeared to be senseless and al- most pulseless; he did not revive after that; Itook him to ee prison with another man, and left him there dead. Peter Swanrs called and sworn—I live at No. 6 Little Water street; I did not see the prisoner, nor never saw him before yesterday, to my knowledge; I saw nothing of the affray nor heard no quarreling; all I know about it is, that I brought the man to the city prison on a cart. Horatio N. Bavt called and sworn—I live at 139 Antho- ny street; I saw the deceased fall yesterday afternoon, from the front of the store door of Arthur meer Icannot say whether he fell down or was pushed, as I had nota fall view of the door; poet up himselt and appeared to be apparently intoxicated. Joun Hanpcy, of Brooklyn, who was passing at the time testified to seeing deceased fall, and when the prisoner who was near him passed by, witness asked “ if he did not think it was a shame for him to strike an old man;” the ac- cused replied “that he had been bothering him all day.” Acexanper Marxiewics called and sworn—I live at 150 Anthony street; I saw the accused strike the deceased ou the left side of the head, and he then fell on his right side to the pavement. Drs. Macomb and Tompkins held a post mortem exam- ination on the body of deceased, and returned as the re- sult, that the immediate cause of his death was apoplexy superinduced by the blow and fallon the pavement. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with these facts, and the prisoner was committed for examination. man sitting there?—(pointing to the pris- Great Movement 1x Stock Orrrations.—-The new Board of Brokers is rapidly becoming the great centre of stock operations. Their system of meet- ing openly in the Exchange, before all the world, seems to take amazingly. Their transactions ap- pear to be nearly double the amount of the old Board. Some of the members have already clear- ed their $20,000—some their $10,000. The times of 1836 are returning. Trovnie in Porto Rico.—We learn by the Su- san, from Ponce, P. R., that great numbers of arm- ed negroes were} seen on the borders of the island, and {that the whites were in a constant state of alarm. ‘Theygexpected an attack from the blacks every hour. Tur Pirate acain.—The slaver brig which was boarded by the boats of the Vincennes, a short time ago, has again been seen chasing vessels off the Isle of Pines. We trust that when she is again boarded she will be taken possession of. She israther adan- gerous craft for that dangerous place. Quickest Passage Yer.—The steamboat South America, Capt. Brainard, left Albany on Wednes- day evening of last week at ten minutes before 7, and arrived at New York sixteen minutes past 2— making her paseage from wharf to wharf in 7 hours 21 minutes—over 21 miles the hour.

Piers are under water, and as there is plen- ty of snow in the interior, there will be no lack of water for some days to come. : Siupticrry.—The following rich specimen of rus- tie simplicity is from the Miner’s Journal ;— “New York city is said to be infested with numerous groups of daring burglars.” nl Sti ircult Court. Present the Circuit and District J1 ae = Ani. 22.—The People vs. Jesse Hoyt.—After the Judges had taken their seats, the nomes of the jurors were called over, and Ju ‘Tuomrson desired the defendant’s coun- sel to proceed. Jacon Litrix, examined by Mr. Secon, testified that he was, for the lastjten years, an extensive dealer jn ex- changes, andi money business. Q. by Mr. Scupxx—Suppose you were in the receipt of large sums of money, for which you can discharge your- self from all responsibility by depositing in bank such funds to the credit of your cine nd supposing you were afterwards required, instead of depositing it, to re- tain it in your own hands, under your own control, with- out the right of using it, aud to pay it upon drafts payable to the order of persons residing in all parts of the United States, what would you consider an adequate indemnity, without reference to any fixed compensation you were to receive from your principal? A—From one-eighth to one-half per cent., according to the advances to be made. Judge THomrson—You state what is the common usage and not senly what is your own charge? A—Yes, sir. Bensimin F, Butter, sworn and examined forthe de- fence—Q—Mr. Butler, during the time you hel the office of District Attorney, and during Mr. Ho Mectorship, were you employed by him to defend a suit brought against him? » A-Yes, sir. Q—Was that suit settled? A—I believe that suit was never formally settled, al- though some compromise of it took place. Q—When was that done? A—A littlo morethan a year ago; the suit was brought against Mr. Hoyt andone of thebanks. I was not con- cerned for the bank. Q—You received instructions to commence several suits against the firm of Lord & Co., at the suitof the United ‘States? A—Ye ir. Q-1 you would give some explanation about those suits? A—In the month of January, 1840, at which time I was District Attorney, I received eighty bonds, given by Nel- son J. Eiliott & Co. as principals, and Reuben Lord as surety. Immediately, or very soon, after receiving the bonds, Lanahed to the Custom House to escertain the names of the persons who composed the firm, having no means of ascertaining myself, I made this inquiry per- sonally. Twas then informed, by some officer of the Custom House, that the firm of Elliott & Co. was compo- sed of N. Elliott and}— Lord. That information was given to meofticially. 1 supposed, at the time I received it, and until after the return of the writs, that the infor- mation was correct. I did not bring the suits for two months after, although I had instructions to bring them immediately. The reason why I did not bring the suits was, that Lord had large claims on the government. Three commissioners were appointed by government to investigate those claims. 1 was one of the commissioners, Pending the investigation, an opposing claim was put i by the counsel for the corporation, and considerable liti- gation took place asto whether those claims should be paid to the corporation orto Mr. Lord, Theclaim of Mr. Lord was argued by Daniel Lord, Jr., Esq., and the claim of the corporation was arguod by their counsel. In consequence of these claims I delayed the suits, as I thought they would be ultimately paidto Mr. Lord, and not to the corporation. I suspended the suits for two months, and I made a full report tothe Secretary of the ‘Treasury in explanation. Here Judge THomrson interposed and srid the evidence was not pertinent tothe question before the court, and called for Mr. Butler’s costs, which were handed up by Mr. Hoyt—amount, $2661. Mr. Butier requested to be allowed to read some ex. tracts from bis letter boek in explanation of the part which he had in the proceedings above detailed, which the court permitted him to do, but as they are not relevant to the subject matter of this suit we do not give them. Joun L. Tirraxy sworn and examined on the part of thedefendant. A book containing a daily account of the deposit lists was handed up to witness. Q—Have you footed up that book? A—I do not recognise this book. Q—Were you an assistant of Mr. Waltets,? Yes, sir. Q—State what the course was with regard to the amounts reimbursed to merchants -by Mr. Hoyt. Were they charged to the United States? A—They were not. Q—When the ameunt was received from the Treasury what was done with it? i A—We deposited it with the cashier, and it swelled the amount of the'deposi( list. When the excess of deposits were called for by the merchants, we paid them, but we kept ni try of having done so, and when the returns were made we charged them in the deposit list. Judge THomrson.—What was the effect of that? A—Beyond our office I don’t know what the effect is. Cross.examined by the District Artonygy.—Q—Was Not a separate account kept for those deposits? A—Yes, sir. Q—Was the excess credited to the cash account or quarterly account? A—I cannot tell. Shy the Court.—lIs there any account kept of the de. i a —Yes, sir, there is a deposit book.

Washington, [Cortcapondence of the Herald.] Wasutneron, April 22, 1843. Mr. Webster’s Return—Somers Case—Deep Intercet Felt—John C, Spencer. Dear Sir :— The return of Mr. Webster to this city, and his anticipated resignation, excites no little interest. His resignation, 1 think, is beyond all doubt. The engrossing topic here is the sentence of the Court in the McKenzie case. The finding of the Court Martial produced no little amazement; for it certainly is at variance with the settled conviction of the public mind, and with what is reported, and positively claimed to be the unanimous opinion of the Cabinet, and what is understood to be the opi- nion of seven members of the Court. The Somers{case is, and ever must be, one of thrilling interest. It fnrnishes a crisis in the short, yet eventful history of our gallant navy. The pen of history never recorded deeds of more heroic and chivalrous daring, and the scroll of fame is enrich- ed by no brighter names than those that have been furnished by the American navy. The true und judicious friends of the navy have been filled with dread at the attempt that has been made to vindi- cate the tragedy of the Somers, and not only to screen its principal actor, but to claim for him new honors, and a brighter fame. The horrible affair of the Somers Hesiptescrited the question, how far hu- man liberty and human life may be sacrificed to allay the fears of a commander, or to minister to his crude and false notions of sabordination and dis- ciples engendered by vanity, and nurtured by men- tal imbecility. The great gifts of God to man, hu- man liberty and human life are too sacred to yield to any other power than that of stern, unavoidable, and inexorable Mccoy, ‘Then a freeman may be fettered with irons—and then he may be torn family and friends, lacerating the tenderest feelings of the human heart, and spreading gloom and deso- lation over the domestic hearth, and over the hopes and prospects of those more intimately allied to him. Butunlesssuch necessity exists, no matter if ten thousand brighter names shone upon the historic page of our navy; no matter if ten thousand brighter deeds covered ‘it with glory, the American navy would become a bye-word and a reproach in a re- public of freemen. It would become a very stink in the nostrils; and public opprobrium and execra- tion would settle upon it. 1 care not if the mightiest armada of Europe would quail before it—if the thunders of our cannon caused every throne on earth totremble ; and if the gallant bearing of our tars inspired respect in every quarter of the globe, one murder of an American freeman by the arbi- trary and lawless power of a despotic commander, sanctioned and countenanced by the navy, must tar- nish its glory, and awake one deep and universal ex expression of public indignation Whether on land or at sea,the epirit andgeniusof our laws and institutions throw the sacred mantle of their protection around the humblest and poorest citizen; and the humblest man in the crew of the Somers, by God, by nature, and by the law of the land, has secured to him the same rights, and the same protection as the most distinguished officer that ever walked an American deck.s Strange, indeed, would it be if the American navy were the tyrant’s home, and the despot’s throne; and if the freeman, wholeft the peace and security of his fireside to encounter the dangers of the deep in his country’s service, should be exposed to the lawless violence, or the coward fears of a Babli opiaion wil ele th ‘ublic opinion will settle this great question right, and all I fearis, that the effort made ap screen aad justify McKenzie will expose our gallant navy to fraunice and popular hostilit . Where. in this broad and, was the shocking Affair of the Somers pal- liated and softened as it was by the representations of the friends of McKenzie, announced at the do- mestic fireside, without producing a thrill of horror? and where was Mosley who did not cling to his son and vow that the American navy should never witness the lawless execution of his child? and where was the{mother whose son was enrolled upon the navy list who did not offer up her prayer to Heaven that he might speedily be released from a service where chains and blood, punishment and death were made to allay fear and to feed a falee and diseased appetite for renown? Thave but a moment to advert to the relation of Mr, Secretary Spencer to this question. It wasa delicate and trying one, and most nobly did he sus- tain himself. “His bearing has been that of a ten- der and offectionate parent filled with anguish atthe cruel death of his son, aa well as that of a high mind- ed patriot submitting the cause to the law and to the legally constituted tribunals of the country. Pure and elevated as has been his course in all this mat- ter, he has been charged with bringingfotiicial influ- ence to bear against McKenzie. Nothing can be more false. Never was Mr. Spencer present a mo- ment in the Cabinet when this question was under discussion, and never did he exchange a word con- cerning it with the President or the Secretary of the Navy. He abstained most carefully from all inter- ference, and from the exertion of official influence on this subject. This is well known here, and I am well assured that every member of the Cabinet will cordially and fully sustain my assertion. Never did Mr. Spencer utter one word to the President on the subject, and never did they in any way communi- cate concerning it. Yet tosustain McKenzie and excite some sympathy in his favor, the slander has been gotten up that official influence was sought to be directed against him. _ RS AS NER PEE ROE ER TTT, OG Now that the city is so full of strangers, they could not employ their time more advantageously sheuld they have aleisure hour at their command, than by visiting the American Museum. The immense number of curi osities that the establishment contains, would richly pay them for the trouble ; every quarter of the globe has con- tributed its quota tothe valuable collection. Thegrand cosmoramas form a prominent feature—they consist of nearly one hundred views, and are exquisite works of art; to behold them alone is well worth double the price of ad- mission. The splendid performances in the Lecture Room comprise every variety of entertainment. Singing, danc- ing, juggling, imitations, recitations, legerdemain, kc. Where else can so much amusement be obtained fortwen. ty-five cents? OG> The liberality that is evinced by the manager of Peale’s Museum, has been attended with the success we predicted. We have always maintained that if the public are presented with attractions, they will appreciate them, ‘and the patronage conferred will be commensurate with their merits. Dr. Valentine is a great favorite, and it would be difficult to name a performer who has afforded more genuine delight, and gives greator satis‘action. To Signor Blitz must be conceded the palm of superiority os amagician. For though there are many persons in the ime profession, there is not ore who possesses a tithe of his abilities.
