Mork Forsicn News.—The steamship Acadia, from Liverpool, has been at sea ten days. News by her will be fifteen days later, and of consider- able importance, bringing the overland mail from India. She is the crack boat of the Cunard line ; and should the present weather hold a day or two, we may expect her by Thursday. The Great Commercial Interests in Danger— Treachery of the Wall street Press, The developments which have taken place in Wall street, during the last few weeks—and the course pursued by the prints in that region in relation to the new policy on commerce and manufactures just broached in Balumore—indicate most conclusively that we are on the eve of one of the greatest pieces of treachery that ever disgraced the commercial annals of any country. For some months past a very important fermenta- tion has been going on in Wall street, between the solid, solvent merchants, manufacturers and bank- erson one side, and the bankrupts, stockjohbers, politicians and speculating financiers on the ether side. For many months past the crisis among these interests have been approaching, and immediately after the movement made by Mr. Webster in Balti- more, the denouement began to mature. It is now evident from what we see, hear and read, that the whole of the Wall street press, with one or two inconsiderable exceptions, are preparing to perpetrate one of the greatest pieces of fraud and treachery ever dreamed of, to those’solvent mer- cantile, manufacturing and financial interests that have heretofore fed and clothed them like the pau- persof a poor house. And for what is this treache- Ty perpetrated ? what fisjthe motive causing such a fraud? Nothing—but simply to subserve the interests and hopes of a few broken down politicians who want office—or of bankrupt financiers who want some Rew paper machine to gut and let go the way of the United States Bank, the North American Trust Company, the Baltimore Trust Company, &c. &e, The new and magnificent commercial policy which has been sketched by Mr. Webster, and iS supported by every sensible merchant and manufae- turer, 1s to be cried down and execrated by the very journals, which are supported by these merchants, merely because the bankrupts and speculators have a more intimate influence with the Wall street press, than the sound and practical men of business Is this the return which such presses as the “Cou rier and Enquirer” and the “American” ovght to make to the Goodhues, to the Howlands, to the Grinp to the Harmonys, to the Browns, and to all the leading merchants in New York that support their sheet ica oa A crisis has now taken place in the connection between the commercial interests of New York aud the Wallstreet press, that demands immediate action. A gross and palpable piece of treachery is contemplated for the benefit merely of stock-job- bers and bankrupts. A new commercial policy, that promises to be the only effectual remedy for the restoration of state credit—sound currency—and permasent reliet, is to be opposed and repudiated at the dictation of the penniless office beggers who hang about the offices and now control the Wall sireet press If the merchants of New York are such fools as to tolerate such treachery, be itso. There may be some species of luxury in having their throats cut just so. Tue Pustic Press anp Punic Men.—The rela tions which should subsist between the gentlemen connected with the public press, and those connect- ed with public affairs, seem to be very little under. stood by the latter class of persons. We have on several occasions been under the necessity of admi- nistering reproof in this matter, both in New York and elsewhere, and we are sorry to see the same necessity existing in the intelligent city, and among the intelligent people of Boston. In the report of the eloquent speech, made on Fri- day last in Faneuil Hall, by Mr. Charles G. Loring, of Boston, we find the following statement made by our reporter: In consequence of an interruption by a person who came to the reporters’ table, and asked some question, we did not catch the two or three succeeding sentences of thisepeech. We have just called on Mr. Loring, and re- quested him to supoly the hiatus—but he very politely ys—"Qh! you can’t report my speech—and besides I’m very busy.” We must, therefore, go on from the point where the disagreeable interruption ceased.— Reporter of the Herald. Such a reply on the part of Mr. Loring, was at least uncalled for—nay, it was both ungentlemanly and impertinent, and indicates an assumption of su- periority and superciliousness on his part, that will be condemned by the common sense and common justice of mankind. The application to Mr. Lo- riag was complimentary on the part of our reporter it did not deserve the impertinent reply it re- ceived. Yet, in extenuation it may be said, that such con- duet on the part of Mr. Loring, is only the last lin- gering remains of those false notions of superiority, with which public men have heretofore treated the public press. In point of talents, public useful- ness, moral eminence, and patriotic purpose, our reporter was at least equal, in every respect, to Mr. Loring, and in some respects far his supe- rior. The arrogance which every new fledged orator has oftem put on, in reference to those connected with the newspaper press, must come down and take its rank with its equals. When newspapers are under the influence of mere politi- cians—when its conductors are the mere paid agents of politicians, it may do to aseume such airs of su- periority. But Mr. Loring, and ali the Lorings, ought to know that the newspaper press, in these days of intellectual progress, is beginning to declare its independence ef cliques of every kind—and that it takes its position as one of the great elements of so- ciety, admitting no superior but the laws of good or- der and society—and submitting to no indignity to ils representatives from any quarter. We, therefore, request Charles G Loring, Exq., of Boston, the eloqu ent orator of the new movement, Havana segar with this paragraph, tle of the spirit in w it is jectual svetem.

A woman ofa thin form, with a thin fa anda thin nose, was inthe speaker's place when we ar. rived, and she appeared to have been speaking ; but she stopped as we entered, and sat down very reapectfully.— Pretty soen, our friend Brisbane entered, and very short- ly, (the number in the meantime having increased to twen. ty-one,) the lady whom we took to be Mra. Gove, proceeded with her discourse. Her object seem: ed te be to prove that womam was as good as man, if not a leetle better. She said she knew a man by the name of Walker, who thought woman had in stinct at least. She doubted whether it would be proper to call hera waxdoll. At all events woman can calcu. lute two dozen oysters at4cents [too high price) apiece. ‘Woman has no legal control over man. She is a poor nerv- ous creature—wonderful—tyranny—point with his finger to thirty houses—if woman were independent of man! could not he managed—create separate interests—sh: a mere pensioner upon man’s bounty—man has the same capacity t me desires—man sells lends and moru multicaulis, speculates, and is allowed a dollar a month. —Husband and wife’ are affected by our laws—she ing but her attire—she is a mere thing— ! think of that—a thing! I am not a ihingt; dof look like an: thing? Is woman a crea- ture of reason? trust her and see; let woman act free, like man—let her not be subject to man—she is a slave—a slave to man—I want tofree her from man—we will set up for ourselves. ‘The present position ot woman is a false one. Man must live up to woman—I want woman to work out own salvation; we want our rights; she must redeem herself—(have the goodness to close that door)—I have no wish to see woman degraded to the condition of politics— it isa low, vulgar, calling, and we are above it. I ask not to be the’ President of the United States, although I may be as geod as the Queen of England. We are dependant on our husbands for every penny we spend—have not women as good a right ‘to attend lectures, subscribe for newspapers, the men have. re the same all over the T have studied the law : the law gives her nore e made for such a lot—a continued crucifix: is right? Suppose one of us women should commit a fashionable sin, what help er hope is there fer us? If man sin there is no one to call him to account— net so if woman commits a fashionable sin. The iron en- ters into her soul, and she feels she is athing. It is an awful thing for womantobealone. Whoever is above la bor is good fornothing. Woman is Heaven’s last, best gift to man. With stentorian lungs, she cried, “ Fisn! fish! fish!” and man thinks it all right. Man must not usurp authority over us, and we will not usurp authority over man. I will not tread on The cure our ‘toes if you wont on mi if for’all the ilis that woman is heir to, i want you to give something to pay for this room—1 have got no money myself, and I want those of you that he to pay for the room. ‘Then if you don’t like what I have said, I will let you say it yourselves. Mr. Wright, (if I have his name rightly,) here arose and addressed the remaining twenty present— He egreed with Mrs. Gore that’ woman’s position ig a false one. There are so tew true marriages; she a jon; man and woman are promiscuously mixed up in a false and heterogenious state; sociation I grant; know not if you were to make wo- man freer thaa she is now, that she would go it any stronger than she now does, Whenever there isa trae marriage, there is no difficulty. If—yes if—man loves woman, and if woman loves man, then you will live bliss- ful and happy lives. We go for association. {Here a young manarose and said he felt highly grati- fied with what he had heard; he went for areformin the common law system; give her her rights, the gentleman last up has expressed my mind exactly, and I shall say no more; give wotnan her property rights.) On the whole, the meeting was so sleepy ani dull that no steam could be got up, and it accordingly adjourned, FasuronanLe Moras anp Finance IN Canapa.— Whenever a defalcation, robbery, or absconding takes place in the United States, our Canadian loyal neighbers, from the mouth of the St. Law- rence to the Rocky Mountains, immediately turn up the whites of their eyes and cry out, ‘* awful state of morals’—‘ all caused by democracy”— “terrible dishonesty in the States’—‘‘no country honest but a monarchy”—“ praise be to God for our form of government.” From the annexed state- ment, taken froma Toronto paper, it will be seen that human nature is human nature in every coun- try—and that Texas is not only a land of refuge for the rascals of the United States—but that it furnish. es asafe asylum for the rogues from the royal pro vince ot Canada, the land of honesty and integrity, of loyalty and lumber :— [From the Toronto Examiner.) Much excitement has prevailed in this city, within the last few days, in consequence of certain disclosures made by our banks, respecting a considerable amount of forge. ries, perpetrated by a merchant lately resident here. He has availed himself of every artifice, which might be con. ceived, as well calculated to forward his fraudulent pro- jects. ‘Neither the tics of kindred, nor of friendship bi been adequate to protect from his designs. Even that fac- ond of mystic traterni: hich we are some- h ates of Freemasonry has served as a talisinan against the upraised weapon of the Alpine ban: dit, appears, m this case, to have been viewed merely a fortunate adjuvant, in werking out, with more xecurity and certainty, his well organized system of villany. Se- ve-al of the victims, are men who have stood by him in times ofsevere trial. We are not aware ofthe full extent to which they have been left liable by the absconding in- dividual, as it will probably be a matter to be determined by a legal tribunal, what bills are forgeries, and what are genuine. It is generally believed the amount of the for- mer is not under £3,000—and there is reason to fear the fulb amount is not yet ascertained. ed, by pertios who have means of forming a correct opinion, that Silas Burnham, the absconding person, has carried with him not less than £5,000, or even £6,000 in hard cash. He left this city on Saturday morning,13th inst.by the steamer for Niagara ; and we are informed passed through Buffa- lo. Itis probable his destination is Texas. During the spring, notwithstanding the hardness of the times, we are informed from an indubitable source, he has effected col- lections of his city accounts equal to £1,600 ; we have heard that there is not to be discovered an instance in which he has paid a single sixpence, of any account due by himself; and he has not left 15 per cent of his own ac- counts uncollected. ‘his is evidence of a digested plan. We understand, he realized about £1,200 from the pro- ceeds of an auction sale of part of his stock in April, which he gave his frien 1s to believe, was to be appropriated to the redemption of notes, past due, lying in the banks, with their names on them. We believe not one shilling was so applied ; though some notes were retired ; but by others which prove now to be forgeries. We understand that in one Bank he purchased drafts on Montreal to the amount of £1,400, with notes which he represented to be the returns of his auction sale, but which now appear to be in great part forgeries : We have learned that in the present instance, with some exceptions, Mr. Burnham found no difficulty in ne- otiating paper with one good name, and his own worth- jess name. One bank, we hear, sold him £600 worth of Exchange, and holds forged paper forthe amount—ano- ther bank bought this very exchange from him, within a few hours, at, no doubt, a compensating shave. A third bank gave him exchange for £1,400, and holds his forged paper, it id, for a good part of the sum. To discount paper in the old, ordinary way of found not to answer the purposes of these institution: It dees not make up the required dividends. The adept in bank Chicanery knows how to get aleng very well. He will not venture to ask for a simple discount; for he knows it would be refused; as the banks have more pro- fitable grist in their mills. Let asolvent, plain farmer ask for accommodation to the extent of £100, and though he may be worth twenty times the amount, he would be refused. Let a worthless impostor, well known, perhaps, by the banks, to be ten or filteen thousands pounds worse than nothing, offer them a good name (no matter how pro- procured), and state that he will take exchange, at their rate of premium, and he will get whatever he has courage or villany enough to ask for, aye, and so readily that even aclumsy forgery will escape detection, inthe hurry of £0 profitable an operatio: to the neigh. boring bank and sell t eof two or three per cent, or peddle it over the city; or (a8 we actu- ally were once informed took place in abank in Lower Canada,) he may sell it back over the same counter he bought it at, without ever putting on his hat. In fact, we have often heard that any kind of civility, except ordina- ry civility, may be met with—at least in some of the hanks of Canada, ‘This remark, we have often heard not understand how to go of salaams, with which a cts to be raluted in our enlight the ordinary hopper ened cition But most sive a combin: irediy, the present detection of so exten on Of fraudulent transactions, is well cal level to call forth the most serions considerstion of our le commnpity.

Our correspondence is “annexed. By these authentic statements it appears that the holy city of the Mormons, called Nauvoo, is in- creasing more rapidly than ever—and that the re- cent efforts to persecute the prophet, and to disgrace their religion, have only resulted in more popularity —a fresh increase of converts—and further successes on land and water. New revelations and tresh pre- dictions are_also in the sack, and will soon be out. The new batch of brass plates will be the foundation of more prephecy, wonder, excitement, and in- crease. Joe Smith has already demolished Father Miller and the politicians, and is now preparing to issue another book of Mormon, that will wake up the world a second time. We shall wait for this development, with epen mouth at least. The following is our correspondence from the Holy City, which is quite curious and interesting :— Navvoo, Iuu., May 7, 1843. Rapid Increase of Nawvoo—Progress of the Fuith- Jul—New Discovery of Brass Plates—-Splendid Military Review— — Politics. Dear BENNETT :— The Spring has at last opened, after a long and very severe winter, which has brought us into May before the forest buds and the plains put on their reen mantles ; but lovely May is preparing the face et Nature with her usual taste ; the feathered warblers begin to chirp their notes of praise, while the din and bustle of business consequent upon the rapid improvement of our city, form an agpect att once auspicious of its future glory and greatness. About five hundred emigrants from England have arrived this spring, and it is said a number are still on their way, besides many who are daily arriving in small parties from different parts of the United States, all of whom settle in the city or its immedi- ate wale Those who have means, buy a lot of. land, and build upon it immediately. lechanics of all classes are here in abundaace, who find sufficient employment to procare a subsistance, but would un- doubtedly meet with a greater degree of prosperity if we had some capitalists to commence manulac- turing upon a more extensive scale. Iam surprised that Eastern capitalists do not turn their attention to this point ; there can be no better place_on the con- tinent of America for the enterprise of those who command capital. Any amount of the best of me- chanical labor can be had here at a low price—all the necessary materials for erecting and carrying on manufactures are convenient. Water power can be had toa great extent with a little expenditure—a navigable stream laving our shore, by which we can ship our surplus products cheap to the South, the North and East, besides the rapid increase of popu- Jation of this place, is such as to demand the pre- paration for extensive manufacturing establishments to supply the demand forhome consumption. Facts as they exist, warrant the conclusion that this place in ATES will be the largest city in the West, and if I was predisposed to the _murvellous, I might carry out the conclusion until I had swept over the large cities of this continent, and set up a rivalry with those of Europe and Asia. Suffice it to say, in view of this city and its founder, that strange things have happened, and still things more strange may happen. Another set of plates have been found in Pike county, in this State ; they were dug out of a large mound, fifteen feet from the summit, by a company of persons, filteen in number, who ‘all affirm to the fact of their situation when found. There were six in number, about three inches in length, and two and 4 halt broad at one end, and one inch broad at the other, being something of the form of a bell, about the sixteenth of an inch thick, with a hole in the small end of each, fastened together with a ring, apparantly of iron or steel, but which was so oxi- dised as to crumble to pieces when handled. The plates are evidently brass, and are covered on both sides with hyerogliphics. They were brought up and shown to Joseph Smith. He compared them in my presence with his Egyptian alphabet, which he took from the plates from which the Book of Mor- mon was translated,and they are evidently the same characters. He therefore will be able to decipher the There can be no doubt but they are a record of come kind, turied with an individual, centuries ago ; a skeleton was found with them—some of the bones in such a state of preservation as to show the size of the individual, whee height must have been eight anda half feet. You may expect something very remarkably pretty soon. Yesterday, the sixth of May, was the general pa- rade of the Nauvoo Legion. Gen. Arlington Ben- nett was expected to be here to inspect the Legion, but did not appear. The day was windy and cold, but the military spirit predominated, and the ranks were well filled ; they formed and went through the evolutions out on the Prairie, about two miles (rom the Temple, all in good style,I expect, (as 1 was not out, am unable to describe.) I had the pleasure of observingjthem when they came in the town in the afternoon somewhat fatigued, no doubt, but still presenting a martial appearance. An elegant band of music in front, the Lieut General, Jo Smith, and staff, next—followed by Major General Wilson Law and staff—then the Cavalry—then the Artillery— then the Infantry. The officers were well uni- formed, and are fine looking men. The private soldiers (most of them) were without uniform, but are well disciplined, and ready to do good service to their country. J thought as they passed, ‘* Who would not be asoldier ?” The stafis of the two first Tanking Generals, were edorned with twelve beau- tiful ladies mounted on elegant chargers, and if the officers of the ee could not serve their country in the field gallantly with such aids, then the days of chivalry and knight-errantry are certainly over. We have a number of visitors here continually, some wishing to lecture on phrenology, some on phopography, some on neurology and mesmerism, thinking, } ‘suppose, there is a fine field for their humbuggery ; but fortunately for the citizens, they find men here that are able to scan the sciences, and their ability to illustrate their principles. The temple is going on rapidly; we have services onthe first floor every Sabbath. The Prophet frequent! addresses from five to six thousand auditors with all the eloquence and pathos which he so pre-eminently possesses, : t ; The political parties are marshalling their forces for the August election, when representatives to Con- gress are to be elected. Our new district com- mences at our county (Hancock), and takes in all the river couties to Galena. ‘I'he Mormons are supposed to hold the balance of power between the two parties, and great efforts are made by political demagogues to obtain their votes, and by some who are about as fit to represent them as Col. Pluck was to represent the militia of Pensylvania. 1 hope they will select agood man that will have moral stamina enough to serve them, if any such offers himself. If not, why let them run one of their own men. We are bound to have dignity and impor- tance, and to be heard in the councils of the nation. Numbers must and will be heard. Yours, A GenTILE.

Chapel street sewer, which was referred to ee) committee consisting of Aldermen Tillou, Lee ad Brady. Message of the or—The apnual’ message of the Mayor was presented and read and ordered to be printed. ‘The Mayor, in his message, reviews at length, and ina most able and argumentative manner, the distinctive du. ties of the Common Council, and Mayot,and recommends that all executive business be performed by distinct de- partments to be created by the Common Council in accor- dance with the charter, instead of by committees of the two boards, as is now ths practice. He states that the sum of $16,511 61 has been paid to members of the recent Common Council, contrary to the charter, that excludes allmembers from participation in work from the Com- mon Council. He also recommends the removal of the law courts to the Alms House building in the Park; anda concentration of all the departments of the city govern. ment in the City Hall. That all contracts should be given out by advertising for proposals and a clause in each to insure the payment of laborers, who perform the work under contractors. He recommends the organisation of a permanent board, consisting of the Mayor, the Presidents of the two Boards, the Comptroller and Counsel for the Corporation, to ‘be invested with power to de- cide upon the giving out of all contracts forcity purposes, to which is to be added the chief of the department for which the work is to be done, or the arti. cles furnished. He also calls the attention of the Common Council to the evil of confinement of witnesses in the City Prison, under the same rulesand regulations as felons, alludes to the excitement of last fall relative to the d! terment of bodies in several burying grounds, and recom- mends the popecen of some plan to remedy such evils, In allusion to the Police, he recommends the adoption of the plan so often recommended in the Herald, that the watchmen should take their stations at sundown, and re- main until sunrise, and also that the police officers be di- vided into aday watch, to be distributed throughout the city during the day time. He concludes by expressing as his opinion, that the Common Council ‘huve a perfect right to repeal the street comtract, and recommends such a course, and that the citizens be compelled to sweep the streets before their own doors, and that the dirt be car- ried away by contract.

A debate ensted, in which Alderman Scoles, Tillou, Brown, and Waterman, took part. The resolution and amendments were finally laid on the table, and the Joint Meeting adjourned. The Board of Aldermen resumed business. Tweifth Ward Officers.—The ordinance panes at the close of the term of the recent members, abolishing the otticesof Dock Master and Health Warden, Superintend- ent of Roads, and Street Inspector, was repealed. The Street Contract.—The same Committee te whom was referred the street contract, presented areport, sign- ed by Aldermen Tillou and Waterman, being a majority, in which they allege that the contractors have violated their contract, by not cleaning the public markets, in ac- cordance with their contract, or the heads of many of the public and private slips and piers. Also, that aside from this, they have power to annul said contract on the ground that the Common Council have a right to repeal or alter any contract entered into by a previous Common Council. The resolution annexed tothe report repeals the ordi. nance making the contract, and authorizes the Comptroller to refuse further payments to the contractors. They also presented an ordinance dividing the city into sixteen districts, classifying them by the several ward except the 12th and 16th, which are included together, and which are to he given out to seperate contractors whe qualified, and who make the lowest offer on good secu- rity.

Alderman Watenmax followed, reviewing the numer- ous arguments against the street contract at length. The resolutions of the majority committee were then adopted by a unanimous vote. The Ordinance was then taken up—when Alderman Porpy moved that it be laid on the table for the present, as he believed that the public could never be fully sntisfied with any other plan, except the former system of sweeping by the Corporation.

Mulligan ve. in and Sweet, Police Dfieer —This is au action of assuuit and battery. Mr, Hen opened the case tor the prosecution. From this and from the testimony of Mr. Charles Wilson, pli iff ’s case may be stated as follow: Mr. Mulli- gan, the plaintiff, is one of the principals in St. Luke’s Academy —has been a clergyman of the German persua- sion, He hired house, No. 22 Reed street, some 4 years ago. Heuse next door, No. 20, is a house o! ill fame, kept by a woman callod Harding or Clark. ‘There had often been much noise and disturbance at this house, to the an- neyance of Mr. Mulligan’s famil occurred on the night of th Mulligan was in bed—it was about 12 or 1 o’clock at The young man Wilson had been sick in the night— had been in the yard—was coming in through the entry —heard the strect bell ring—saw Mr. M. coming up stairs, who requested W. to open the door. Wilson did open the door in his night aw No person on M.'s stoop, but did see some person (Colvin) standing upon adjoining stoop, (Mrs. Clark’s)—Wilson told M. that he thonght @ mimake had been mode, and the wrong door bell had been rung—Colvin was standing on the stoop of 22, talking with a woman—(Mrs. Clark)——at that moment a mob of ten or twelve came up opposite Mulligan’s door—there was great noise—Mulligan re- quested them to disperse, told them he kept a respectable house, and would not be disturbed in ths would call the watch. Wilson said it w doings, who was then on the stoop. Mulligan told the woman that he would have her house broken up in the morning. Colvin said he was an officer. Wilson said it was a pretty place for an officer. Mulligan seid he didn’t believe he was an officerat all. Colvin threatened to take Mulligan and Wilson both to the watch house, and con- vincethem that he was an officer. Mulligan went into the house for rane— Colvin seized hold of Wilson and held him fast. Colvin called to some person from the mob, whom he named Burt, or some such name—(he turn- ed out to be Sweet)—he came, and seized hold of thecane which Mulligan had in his hand, struek Mulligen seve- ral blows on the head, dragged him down from the stoop, and knocked him into the gutter. In the affray, Mulligan got his leg broken below the knee, both bones, in two places—was very badly hurt—was confined to his house for 45 days—now walks on crutches, or with acane. Wilson told tne mob they had finished Mulligan, ari they then dispersed, supposing Mulligan to be dead. Colvin aided Wilson to carry Mulligan into the house, when he immediately returned to Mrs. Clark’s house. Drs. Ro- gers, Detmold, and Wright were called in to see Mulligan —he did not attain his consciousness until 5 o'clock in the morning. This house of ill fame had been complained of to Alderman Crolius. Colvin and Sweet did not disperse the mub. Mulligan did not strike any one, although on this point the evidence was conflicting. Colvin did not fo for y physician. Such is substentially the case for e plaintiff. Mr. Paice opened the case for the defence. He stated that Colvin and Sweet had been police officers for some three years—were not at that house on that night for libi- dinous purposes, but in the discharge of their duty, Mrs. Harding or Cli i ime—i her miafortune to be so he had been but a short time before very severely injured by some person of whom she had compleined at the police office—a warrant had been issued, and Colvin; andiSweet were then endea- voring to get a description of the person who had assault- ed Mrs. Harding. Colvin in this mob insisted on his pre. serving the peace Mulligan called him a liar and asconn- drel—strikes him three blows on the back—not a blow wes struek by either of these officers—Mulligan’s wounds were the accidental result of the scuffle. Edward Den- nison isthe name of the man who assaulted Mrs. Harding, and whom Colvin and Sweet were endeavoring to ar- rest. Dennison committed an a:sault on Mrs. Harding, otherwise called Clark, in her own house. Dennison was never found or arrested. James H. Brinnell said he saw Sweet and Colvin standing upon one side of the stoop and Mulligan and Wilson upon the other—“ they were about a feet apart.” Lewis Kruder and John D. Totten were among the party who went to No. 22 and tried to get in— they were refused admittance, and advised to go away— and they did go away. They said they did not go there toteach musicto Mrs. Harding’s young female boarders, although Mr. Kruder is 9 musician. Mrs. Harding was herself called and sworn asa wit- ness, and gave her testimony for the defence ; but we do not think it proper to report it. Mr. Price summed up on behalf of the defendants, and Mr. Whiting for the plaintiff. The Judge charged the Jury, recapitulating the lead- ing points ofthe evidence. He said if the Jury believed the evidence of Charles Wilson, it & most outrageous assault and onc ons a high handedoftence. Mr. Mul- ligan has received a Jasting injary to his person, great pain, loss of time, &c. &c. Sweet seems to be more guilty than Colvin, who did show some feeling of humaniyy. Even if Wilson or rrp had insulted Colvin, yet he hed no right to strike either of them, or take them to the watchhouse. The person of a eitizen is sacred, and must not be touched, unless he be in the act of committing an offence. Mrs. Harding’s testimony is to be taken with much allowance trom the character she sustains. The Judge charged that the Jury could give just as heavy mages os they chose, although it would be useless to damages which the defendants could not pay. The Jury were absent about fifteen mtnutes, and re- turned a verdict of $1000 against the defendants. Juan Scorsur vs. The Brooklyn Fire Insurance Co.—In this case the Jury retired, and after consulting fora con siderable time, could not sgree, and a verdict was taken by consent of the parties for the plaintiff for $500, bein: about the difference between what the company expend: ed in repairing the house, andthe amount of loss claimed by the plaintiff.

Whiting, Esq , a8 District Attorney. His resignation was ordered on file, and the Court adjourned till Manday se’enight, 12th June. At present the probability seems to be that Mr. Whiting will have no successror appointed, but be allowed an as Mistant, or clerke— (Mr. Phillips is spoken of) —who will attend to much of the official busizess.

Comparative Exrensrs or Divorck 1m Enauanp ann ScoTLaNp.— * says Horne Tooke, “are open to the as the poor, and so is the London Tavern ;” but the poor man, for all ractical purposes, finds himeelt excluded from roth. This has been strikingly illustrated by an able writer inthe last numberof the Law Maga- zine, who, in reference to the comparative expense of the remedy of divorce in England and Scotland furnishes the following astounding facts, of the ac- curacy of which we believe there can be no doubt. After observing that the costs of obtaining a divoree are at present so heavy that none buta wealthy man can think of this description of relief, he adds— “ The expenses actually incurred last session in rosecuting Mr. Mittord’s divorce, were as fol- low — Costs of action, £161 11 6 Proceedings in Doctors’ Commons, 283 14 0 Parliamentary cost: 53717 8 £983 3 1 _ “Inthat case xo particular opposition was thrown in the rey of the petitioner, and his expenses were lessened by some personal friend getting up and managing the evidence The average cost of an ordinary divorce ranges from £1,000 to £1,500, and, if difficulties oceur, the amountis much larger. It is well known that Lord El!enborough’s cost nearly £5,000.” The contrast between the expenses of a divorce in England and Scotland, is thus strikingly stated 1— “ The average expense of disannulling a marriage in the Court of Session fis about £30; and we have been assured by a Scotch practitioner, of great ex- perience in proceedings of this nature, that he has lately carried through four unligated divorces, in none of which did the costs amount to £20; and in one, the entire sum spent was £15 17s 64. The remedy is thus placed within the reach of every one who ix not actually a pauper; and the resnlung benefit cannot be better ascertamed than by ob- serving the class of persons in whose favor divorces are actually granted. In a list (forming an appen- dix to thisarticle) of alithe decrees of divorce pro- nennerdin the Court of Session from November, 1826, to Noveraber, 1841, we find fourservants, four laborere, two soldiers, one sailor, aud every variety of amall shopkeepers. Jn short, out of the ninety- five divorces which were granted in Scotland dur- idg that p d, there are certainly not more than six that could by possibility have been obtained in England.” 3 Exaixgen Drownen.—On board the Rainbow a serious accident occurred on Friday evening, while she was lying at Wilmington.
