Captain Tyler's Pligrimage te Bunker Hill. As the President’s pilgrimage fo Bunker Hil) -vill be one of the greatest events of this year, we have engaged an excellent, new, and fresh @orrespondent, whose name is John Jones, of New York—not of | fessional men Washington—to accompany the President from Washington to Boston, to report his progress, to note all curious events—to watch the moverments of the waters—and to givea daily account of all «flairs, illustrated with engravings and etchings.» Our corresponden!, (our own John Jones,) reach- | ed Washington on Monday night, at which time, | also, the President was expected to arrive from his | furm in Virginia. On Wednesday (to-day) the * progress” will begin, and it is probable that our first despatch will appear in the Herald to-morrow. We have also made arrangements to report verba- fim, the great oration of Daniel Webster, on the I7th, and to beat the whole newspaper press of New York, both im despatch and accuracy, ona bet of $1000, if any newspaper, or all the newspapers, will venture to take it up. We never gamble, let, or buy orsell stocks on time—sad this we only propose as apiece of evidence to test real merit. Who takes? Mosus Y.

Jamas G. Banner, Esa. Dear Six :— their ‘lease in this court has at last come to a ae tye eae a eee an effect decidedly favor- je to you ani paper. Not an inch of ground 2 bees yielded, and the few men really at the bottom of ihe procuring of the indictment, are most heartily ashamed of it, It is mow, however, discon- tinued honorably to all parties. I enclose herewith the names of twenty-three subseribers for the Herald—active, thorough-going, business and pro- n Your paper will now be read here with more interest than ever Mr. Davis, the Dis- trict Attorney, hasthroughout behaved in the most gentlemanly manner, while he has been uncompro- misingly faithful to his charge. . Business is reviviag here rapidly—boats are pas- sing—saws, hamiuers and mallets are to be heard in every direction, and the cheering “ go heaves” are following in their wake, Temperance and in- dustry are coming up, and crime and idleness are going down. Oar court terms lhawe just man of leisure, have blended amusement and in- struction. Of these, perhaps, more anon. Wheat and spring crops look .finely, and all nature wears an encouraging appearamece. x The mary ot uti, farmers, mechanics, mer- chants and profession als, have made up our minds to survive the late crlestial visit, as also the late terrestrial excitement, and hope you will not for- get te serve upte us your usual treat of the earliest intelligence of the dcings in this little worid. Yours, Cc. fRemarxs. So far—so well ; but that indictment affair is the phoned, which, to the | queerest—the drollest—the oddest—the funniest— Tue Prestent’s Tour—Tut Ceresration-—Tne ; the foolishest (so to speak), that ever took place out Past anp THE Fururge.—As the period of the President’s visit to this city approaches, a variety | of interests are giving development to their senti- ments and feelings. The great mass of our respec: table and intelligent citizens are prepared, we have good reason to believe, to receive the Chief Magis- trate of the nation with that\reepect amd attention which his station naturally solicits, and which genu- ine patriotism is ever willing to exhibit. But there of the Empire of Lsaputa, or the republican island of Sancho Panza. The facts are these :—About a year ago a letter appeared in the Herald written at Penn Yan. This letter, among other general subjects, had a couple of paragraphs, the one treating on the system of do- ing business in Penn Yan, and another touching the opinions of a religious congregation. The para- graph on trade criticised the system of selling goods on long credits to the country people, and the bad are, onthe other hand, a number of the cod-fish aristocracy, who are manifesting very amusing pre- monitory sympto:ns of intendedrebellion. Some of them have actually threatened to leave the: city in disgust on this eceasion. An alarming intimation, + troly! Others, with more self-denying heroism, are determined to remain on the spot, and give copious discharge to their spleen, dissatisfaction, and per- »! dislike of Captain Tyler. The man who could exhibit such conduct towards the highest official of his country, is clearly past re- demption. Were the visit of the President merely an accidental one—had it nothing but an ordinary object in view—or were it a mere formal, ceremoni- ous one, it should elicit a cordial greeting from eve- ry citizen. But the intended visit of the President isno ordinary one. It is marked by circumstances which invest it, in the eyes of every true patriot, with uousual interest and dignity. The President, during his tour, may be regarded as making a pilgri- mage to the pure shrine of his country’s freedom— the hallowed altar of human liberty—there to of- fer up, with thousands of his countrymen, the homage of patriotism and reverential regard for the memory and virtues of those departed worthies who, on that battle-field, so vaiiantly contended for the liberties of, America and the human race. And is this an occasion on which the spirit of a faction, a party feeling, a political animosity, should be per- mitted to manifest themselves? He has not a sha- dow ef pretence to the character of a lover of -his country, or of the great common interests of his race, 80: effects such a practice would have onthe merchants generally. It mentioned ne names—made no allu- sion to individuals—but generally condemned a practice common to all the western villages, as lead- ing to injurious results. This general article formed one of the counts of the indictment against the New York Herald. ss The other article attributed abolition opinions to some particular Presbyterian {congregation, but made no remarks about individuals—or even at- tacked any one for these opinions. It was a simple statement of a general fact. This paragraph formed another count in this Penn Yan indictment. Well, after the expiration of a year, and after putting us to the expense of $150 for counsel fees and expenses, the judicial officers of Penn Yan very coolly enter a noll. pros. and wish to impress us with the idea of their kindness and forbearance. We do not conceive it as such--nor shall we take it assuch. The indictment, in our opinion, was clearly contrary to aright construction of law and justice—and a decided piece “of oppression towards @ newspaper press that violated no law. We shall not let the town of Penn Yan off. We shall present a petition to the nextlegislature of New York, pray- ing that the $150 expenses may be refunded, and shall continue year after year, to urge this petition until it is allowed, if it should take our natural ‘ife to accomplish it. And if it is not effected in our own life time, we shall leave the Penn Yan indict. ment damages, alegacy to our dear little son and who would, in thought, word, or deed, tranggress | heir, with dying directions never to give it up tillit against the hallowing and harmonizing influence of thisgreat occasion. Let the reception of the Presi- dentin New York, then, be what it ought to be— the calm, cordial, unanimous, and dignified greet- ing of the Chief Magistrate of the nation, by the citizens of our metropolitan city. The celebration itself will be the grandest scene of national rejoicing ever witnessed in any land. The locality, with its thronging associations—the great orator of the day—the assembled officers of State—the gathered multitudes, of all ranks and classes, and from every State in the Union—will render it one of the greatest events of our genera- tion. Men of all parties will assemble there—on that consecrated spot they will recall the past, and calmly brood over the principles and the characters of the men whose patriotism, integrity, wisdom, and valor laid the foundations of the mighti- est empire that the world has ever seen. Ie it too much to hope that something of the pure spirit of those devoted men will on that day descend upon the congregated masses, and that an enduring barrier will be opposed to the deso- lating progress of fierce and reckless partizanship? In the achievement of this great object, the distin- guished orator of the day, has the good fortune to occupy a remarkably favorable position. In his re- cent new movement, he secured the friendly regard of agreat proportion of the solid, substantial in- fluence and worth of the} community. All hss fu- ture efforts in crushing the hydra of party, and in freeing the nation from the assassin-hands of bank- rupt, unprincipled politicians, are certain of meeting the earnest concurrence and support of thousands of the best men in the country. That Mr. Webster will embrace this great occasion, for this patriotic purpose, we do notdoubt. That he will use the op- portunity with prudence, sagacity and success, we are equally well-assured. There are brightness and hope inthe future. Asin Rome it wasdeemed the mark of a good citizen never to despair of the re- public, -so let all patrioqgpow find in the future no- thing but beckoning incentivesto renewed exertion, devotedness and zeal. Important Catuotic Movement.—Our holy Ro- man Catholic American Church, now our dearly beloved Mother-in-God, in spite of all she has suf- fered in character by the newspapers, from Martin Luther down to David Hale, is yet one of the most hale and hearty old ladies in existence. When Braham, the great siager, came to this country, the change of climate, and the clear skies, renovated his existence and \aade him’a new man. When Fanny Elssler came here, passe and faded, the same glorious heavens above and earth be- neath, gave an additional turn to her pirouette and another twist to her big toe. ’Tis the same with sainte as with sinners. The holy mother church of a thousand ages is only gathering iresh strength in this glorious land. Look around, and tell me what thou séest, ye sons of men. At the recent (eneral Catholic Council of Baltimore, it was recommended that mine new bishops should be appointed by the Holy See. Who may be selected is of course un- known till Rome decides. Rev. Mr. de Sweett, 8. T., who is deservedly called the Apostle of the lndians, with whom he has lived fora number of years, is spoken of as the Bishgp elect of Oregon. He deserves it, for he has done wonders among He has received 1800 Indians into the church last year, of which number 600 were admitted to baptism in one day ‘Thus marches the church along. Let David Hale aad Mr. Cheever preach tillthey wear away their te them More New Lia been invented by Mr. Terry, for burning lard, tal- T.—A very neat lamp has just low, or oil of any sort. We have seen its merits tested, and have seen it produce a most brilliant ind agreeable light from lard. The economy of thie lamp will recommend it most extensively. It 1s o|d by Mr. Harrison, at 283 Pearletreet. 1. Hanewe on wis Davonter.—The “ Wash- Globe” is still busy discussing the topic of What is the matter 1— Sri ingto “commercial treaties.” What are you afraid of ? Fasmionapte Arnivat.—-His Excellency, the Ohev. D’ Arguez, Spanish Minister, arrived in town be successful. We shall also commence a suit against the highly respectable, solvent, religious, and wealthy town of Penn Yan for damages, and, if need be, employ the Hon. Daniel Webster, even take him from his chowder pot, to plead the case. We shall teach our kind friends of Fenn Yan, what the real law of libel is, before we have done with them. ‘Tauxtow Weep coxa to Evrorr.—Thurlow Weed embarks in the Liverpool packet George Washington, to-day, to take the tour of Europe for the benefit of his health and the improvement of ns manners—and Heaven knows he needs both. We have already sent Mr. Weed’s certificate of character in advance—and have now only to give a postscript to it—as a lady does toher letter. We therefore par- ticularly recoramend Mr. Weed to the Masonic Fraternities of Europe. He was the first and prin- cipal man who got up the anti-masonic party in this State, and raised the clamor of proscription against that benevolent society—shaving all masons out of whiskers and character at the same cut, Of course Jet him be remembered in every barber’s shop, for the good he has done inhis day and generation.— Prosperous breezes, and good appetite, when he gets his sea legs on. Apropos—During Thurlow’s absence in Europe, his locum tenens will be General Rufus King, a very amiable, quiet gentleman, with a graceful talent, not much force, some taste, but defieient in genius. He will behave very well, no doubt. Tue Scuoot Exvection.—We can hardly tell yet how this election has gone, but, according to Da- vid Hale, the Pope of Rome has elected his ticket. His Holiness must be a smart fellow, and have long fingers, to reach from Rome to New York, across the Atlantic, and take so much trouble with a petty ward election. We wonder if the devil had nota finger in the pie For Stonrncton.—In consequence of a slight in- jury to the machinery of the steamer Massachusetts, she has been withdrawn from the line ; her place is supplied by the New York, Capt. Comstock. Propuce Cominc.—Seventy sail ot vessels arn- ved at Bufialo on the 2d inst. with 33,000 bushels of wheat, and 35,000 barrels of flour. Nievo’s Garpen.— The gardens were opened last night, and a more brilliant and refreshing scene could hardly be imagined. One could’nt for the life of him help thinking of some of those magnifi- cent visions which have delighted thousands in the stories of the “ Arabian Nights.” The soft, sub- dued brilliance of the lamps—the cool refreshing breeze—the fragrance of the air—the groups of happy fair ones -the ice creams—every thing was precisely what it ought to have been. The inimit- able Burton made his appearance as Galechord, in “ Nipped in the Bud,” and Sir Hippington Miff,in the agreeable farce of ‘* Comfortable Lodgings.” The charming Miss Reynolds sustained the part of Madame Galochard, with characteristic propriety and spirit, and sang ‘‘1’ll be no submissive wife,” and “ Wilt thou meet me there love ?” with that fascinating naivete and feeling, which give such a peculiar charm to all her songs. Mise Ayres, an old favorite—Miss Horn and Miss Roberts re- ceived a cordial greeting, and sustained their paris with great taste and effect. Walcott, and one or two other members of the Olympic company, also appeared. Altogether this vaudeville company is admirably selected, and must continue to command equally crowded houses, as that which gave them such a favorable reception Jast evening. This night the French company play. Le Domino Noir will be presented, and Calvé appea Cuatnam Turatre.—We see by the bills that the highly interesting melo-drama of ‘“ Jack Shep- pard,” dramatised from Ainsworth’s novel of that title, is to be revived at this Theatre, and that it is to be ) layed to-night. Every one will recollect the excellent manner in which this piece was formerly got up; it will now have the additional advantage of that sterling actor in melo-drama, W. Marshall, as Jonathan Wild—Mrs. Thorne playing her ori nal character of Jack Sheppard. Mr. W. G. Jones yesterday and has taken lodgings at the Waverley | appears in a nautical piece to close the evening’s en- House. tertainments. mitch sr of the President during his stay is an the issue - yet an open question, though be comfortably fed and bedded, is placed beyond al! doubt. The Howards are making the leg magni- ficent and judicious arrangements for his reception at his quarters. The house ‘has been thoreughly scrubbed from top to bottom, and smells almost as sweetly as a Jady’s arbor in the leafymonth of June. A set of platters and plates on which the knife and fork of morte! man hath never yet played a refresh. ing tune, has been purchased expressly for the Cap- tain,and after having served his use, are destined to occupy a place in a handsome glass case, and be- come a precious heir-loom in the houee of the How- ards. The Captain’s apartments—three parlors and a bed-room—are on the first floor, and will be fur- nished in a style of oriental splendor. Brussels car- peting of the most costly description—luxurious sofas and couches of the most cynning workman- ship—everything, in fact, in a style far exceeding the stage arrangements at the Park Theatre in “London Assurance.” e bed room will be, however, the most ele- gant and interesting of the whole suite. The deli- cate attention and geod taste, which provided a bedstead of extraordinary dimensions, and sheets and coverlet of remarkable amplitude, do infinite honor to the head and heart of the Howards. Two very handsome wash-stands have been provided, and as the Croton water has been conveyed to the apartment, the friends and admirers of personal cleanliness may be perfectly satisfied that all ade- quate and proper means of ablution have been pro- vided forthe honored occupants of this apartment. Immediately over the rooms to be occupied by the President, is the suite of apartments for the members of the Cabinet. Of course, then, they still continue over the President, and this little atten- tion, trivial as it may appear, furaishesanother proof of the taet and sound judgment of the Messrs. Howard. Who isto lock the President up for the night, and maintain the night watch we have not yetascertained. We are enabled to state, how- ever, that one of the most regpectadle colored gen- tlemen in the establishment has been selected to take charge of the Captain’s boots—to clean them—and see that ne treasonable papers or improper petitions be thrust into them by any of the crowd of anxious attendants on the steps of his Excellency. The ap- pointment of James Grant, Esqr. No. 1 Ann street, as barber and perfumer to his Exceilency, we have already announced. It gives, as will readily be sup- posed, very general satisfaction. The Howards hed intended to have painted the outside of their spleadid hotel yesterday; but the morning had rather a threatening aspect, and they ‘were reluctantly obliged to abandon the idea. We shail probably give engravings illustrative of the in- terior of the magnificent suite of rooms appropriated for the accommodation of the President. The good cheer of the house will peak for itself. Great personages have often fallen on worse quarters than will be found under the roof of the Howards’. Tue U. 8. Steamer Union.—This unique and beautiful vessel, now lying off the Battery, is emi- nently deserving of the attentive examination of scientific men and all other persons interested in na- val architecture or steam navigation. The Union is propelled by Hunter’ssubmerged horizontal wheels, and as she is the first vessel of uny considerable tonnage into which they have been introduced, she may be considered an experimental vessel. We are happy toleara that she is entirely successful, and that the Secretary of the Navy, who recently made a passage in her, declared her to be so, and freely admitted that she had very far exceeded his most sanguine expectations. The propeller is not the only novelty presented by the Union. Her form ‘and construction are both new, and, contrary to the impressions received from her outward appearance, she has proved herself to be very dry, stiff and weatherly, as well as a very fast sailer. Her length is 185 feet; her greatest breadth 38 feet, and her burthen 1,040 tons. Her battery consists of four 8inch Psixhan guns, tra- versing on {circles; several improvements were pointed out In the mounung oF these guns, to which are applied the newly invented percussion lock, by Mr. James E. Hidden, of this city, which appears to be very superior to any hitherto brought to our notice. Not the least important improvement in the con: struction of these locks, is the vent stopper; and also the eccentric which is placed in the hammer, enabling it, after the explosion has taken place, to free the vent. This vent-stepper will effectually prevent the occurrence of those accidents, which not untrequently happen in consequence of the vent not being properly served. Among the advantages of Hunter's submerged propeller, we may mention that it displaces nearly its weight of water, hence it gravitates very slightly upon its shaft; thus revolving so easily that when disconnected it offers but an inconsiderable resis- tance to the vessel’s passage through the water when under sail. As they are never thrown out of the water, their resistance tothe engine is constant, hence the wear and tear of the machinery is less; and as the power of the engine is place: in the line of the keel, the vessel is free from the very unpleasant vibratory sen- sation produced by the vertical engine. With this propeller a vessel is not liable to be “broached to;” and should it become necessary to “‘Iay to,” the ac- tion of the lee wheel, in conjunction with a little after sail, will effectually prevent her falling off into the trough of the sea. For a freighting vessel, upon our rivers, the sub- merged propeller doubles the tonnage of the vessel, as she may be laden to the waters edge, ‘‘or guorel to,” and still retain the powers of locomotion. This propeller cannot be injured by drift wood, and is of all others best adapted for ice boats. It offers, be- sides, economy in construction, as it obviates the necessity of guards or wheel houses, and, as it does not disturb the surface, must inevitable supercede all other means of propulsion on canale, As a powerfully efficient vessel of war, the merits of the “Union” are very obvious. Constantly retaining the power of locomotion—and possessed of such tremendous engines of destruction, she can, in many circumstances,be more formidable than a eet of sailing vessels. She ean conveniently carry 15 to 20 days’ fuel; but, if necessary, her capacity in that respect could be greatly enlarged. Thecrew consists of one hundred and twenty men, inclusive of her officers, and the arrangements for their com- fort and convenience could not, we think, be sur- passed. The successful operation of this magnificent steamer, redounds greatly to the credit of our naval architecture, and to theskilland genius of her con- structor. She will remain here for some days, and visitors will be sure of receiving, from the polite and intelligent officers on board, every possible at- tention. Revovine Steam Barreny.—We yesterday visit- ed the performance of anew instrament of warfare or rather an old instrument on a new principle. Jt wasa fort containing one hundred guns, in four rows or tiers, of twenty-five each. The whole frame, weighing one ton, was moved round ina cirele by two steam engines of one horse power, and as fast aseach gun came round to bear upon a certain point it;was discharged, the revolution be- ing regulated so as to allow sufficient time to load after discharging before the gun came round again tothe place for firing. The whole arrangement was prononnced by several military gentlemen pre- vent, to be perfect eo far asthis experiment was con+ cerned, but as to the success of the principle on a large scale, some doubt was expressed. The steam power necessary to move the walls of a fort armed and manned, must be immense, and it must be applied so as to be beyond the reach ot injury from without, or the whole effect of the prin- ciple would be destroyed at the time most want- ed, and by the smallest accident. Should the plan ewoceed on an extended scale, it willbe one of the most tremendous and effective arms of defence ever invented. in provoking mystery. But that he will | Inquest, amp Exraaonpinany Conpuct ev 4 Nava Suaceon.—Yesterdey the Coroner proceeded to the house of Abreham Storms, No. 193 Twenty Second street, to hold an inquest on the bedy of his som, the naval appren- tice whose death, resulting from an accident on board the U.S. frigate we published yesterday. On arriving there, the father resisted the attempt to hold the inquest ; but the Coroner was not to be turned aside trom what he justly conceived to Le hisduty, end proceeded forthwith to summon a jury and examine into the cause ofthe accident. After the inquest was over, the surgeon desired the jury to withdraw, and being left alone with the Coroner and his Deputy, he in a most ungentlemanly and unofficer-ike manner called Dr. Archer to account for having stated to the father of the deceased th at he, the Assistant Surgeon, (who had given the certificate a: ion to remove body from the ship,) had ex- ceeded the bounds of his duty, and had committed an out- rage sgainst the laws of the State. Dr. Archer, in his usual cool and courteous. manner, unawed by overbearing conduct of the Surgeon, whose e believe is Greene, replied that he had said and ifthe officer had made himself acquainted with ¢ laws which he was bound to prot e would then find in! aged thoes which gives to the’| Coroner uniimited jurisdiction in all cases of accident, sudden death, &e , occurring within tho limits of the city and county of New York, whether on the deck of the proudest shipof the navy, or in the cannon guarded gar- rison of the soldier. ¢ surgeon, for jing that stood in the presence et the dead, dared to add insult to insult by throwing on his coffin his card, which Dr. Archer ‘promptly refused to accept, desiring him to put up his card and his threats, as he knew too well how a gentleman should behave in such cases, and if he had for- gotten for 9 mement what was due his character asa man and a gentleman, he was ready to give such satisfaction. as the laws of his country or of honor should require from him. With this-intimation the Coroner, having con- cluded the object of his visit, withdrew. Sreauina rrom 11s MotHen.—William J. Brush was arrested for stealing from his mother, Mrs. Ann Avery, No. 350 Hudson street, a gold watch worth $40, and se- ven silver spoons worth $l each. Jt was an oggravated case, and the young man was evidently a hardened youth, as, when he was confronted with his unhappy pa- rent, he laughed in her face, and pulled out of his pocket the spoons broken up into several small pieces, which he presented to her in a most undutiful manner. The watch was found in his possession. At first he refused to give it up, but the magistrate ordered it to be restored, and the thief committed to the cells to await the punishment his crime deserved. Stnance Ciacumstance.—On Saturday evening about 7 o’clock a man in company with two women and a boy, whose names are unknown, arrived at the Catholic bury- ing ground, corner of 50th street avd 5th avenua, in aca riage, accompanied by a hearse containing the dead body ofa woman, which the man said was his wife. The body was taken into the Dery ing gOsne ‘but there belng no certificate, the sexton refused to inter it; and the party left to obtain a certificate, promising to return in a short time with one. Not returning, the coroner was sent for, and the body ordered to Potter's Field, where an inquest will be held this morning, and the body interred, unless the friends appear to claim it and produce a certificate, Deatu From Exnavstion.—Yesterday the coroner held an inquest at the house of William Fetterman, No. 55 Cherry street, on the body of Charles Abrens, aged 36 years, a native of Prussia, Deceased was a sailor, and had long been ill with rheumatic disease, for which he was admitted to the Sailors’ Retreat, and subsequently to the City Hospital, from which latter place he was dis. charged about six weeks ogo. His body was very much wasted away, the joints enlarged and contracted. “Yester- day afternoon he attempted to rise from his bed, but the exertion was too great. he expired almost instantly in the arms of a fellow sailor. Verdict, death from cx- haustion produced by rheumatism. General Sessions. Before Recorder Tallmadge, and Aldermen Scoles and Martin. | James R. Wurtina, Esq , District Attorney, Tuespay, June 6th.—At the opening of the Court, the following gentlemen were sworn as Grand Ju- rors :—Lewis Curtis, foreman; Daniel Boyd, J. V. D.B. Fowler, Jabez Gardner, Thomas . Gale, Smith Harriott, Joseph Hewlett, Joseph B. Hart, Robert H. Ludlow, Drake Mills, Jacob Miller, George Montgomery, Wm. H. Powell, Levi P. Stone, William Woram and Harvy Weed—total 16. Alderman Scoues then charged the Grand Jury relative to the impertant du'ies incumbent upon them under the statute, and in alluding to the increase of petty thefts and burglaries, stated that a large ma- Jority could be traced distinctly to the nefarious prac- tices of junk shop keepers, many of whom were in the daily habit of purchasing every article oflered for sale at any price, without enquiring as to whe- ther they were stolen or not. Cask or Mosxs Y. Beacu.—Wm, J. Hasxerr, Esq_., counsel of Moses Y. Beach, indicted for libel on the family of James Gordon Bennett, appeared in court attended by his client, and entered a plea of guilty to the charge against him, and asked the indulgence of the court to postpone sentence in the case until the next term, asa civil suit was pending inthe Supreme Court which would probably be decided in the mean time The Recorpes replied that the Court would take the application into consideration. 4 Epuunp J. Porrer, Esq. offered the following affidavit to counteract a portion of the editorial ac- knowledgment made in the “Sun” of Tuesday ripening: P . Mr. Hasxett objected to its being read at the present stage uf proceedings, and it was withdrawn Mr. Bracu then left the court. City and County KR New York, ss: Horatio S. Bartlett, ofthe city of New York, being duly sworn, doth depose and say, that at the time of the utlering and publishing of the libel on Henrietta Bennett, wife of Jemes Gordon Bennett, for which Moses Y. Beocb has Tately been indicted, this deponent was in the employ of id Beach it ‘The Sun” newspaper, in which id libel was published; and that the facts and circum. sing and publishing thereof Th e day preceding the publica. tion of said libellious article, this deponent, according to custom, went into the office of the Sun to pursue his daily avocations as editor, and that deponent there found Moses Y. Beach and William Jay Haskett in conversation tege- ther, standing on opposite sides of the counter; that depo. nent was proceeding to his desk, when Beach stopped him and directed deponent to take two Lar dams rom ee een dT Por ene a e other J jeune Editeur'’s eral an are the erticle ‘which appeared on the following’ morn ing, and for which said Beach is now indicted. That doponent, upon hearing said Beach’s ideas on the subjectsremarked to him, that it would be very bard for Mrs. Bennett thus to be shown up in a public print. ‘To which said Beach replied, ‘I know, but its the only way to make the damned bugger feel ;” and that he (said Beach) couldn’t touch him (said Bennet,) in his business, or about himself, and that his family was the only point. That deponent then prepered said article, the outline of which hod been given deponent by said Bench, and had a proof taken for the pu of showivg bim, which deponent took and read to him, and which was the same as the arti. cle which appeared on the following morning. That said Beach then took said proof, put it in his pocket, and kept it till about nine o’elock in the evening, some four or five hours, when said Beach again saw deponent, and re. marked to him, that said article was not sufficiently point- ed ; he (said Beach) did not think it cutting enough; to which deponent replied, that it was as much tothe pur- pose he expressed as deponent could do, that said Beach then directed deponent, if he coulin’t make the article, at ry any better, he might publish it as it was; and that the same was then accordingly published. Tha said Beach expressed to depo- nent his entire satisfaction with the article, steting that on first reading it he did not think it sufficiently pointed, but that he liked it better every time he read it; that it wasthe best articleot the kind thathad ever been fur. nished by deponent, and that said Beach expressed a wish that he had printed athousand copies more, as he could readily have sold them, And this deponent further saith, that he was likewise informed by the then foreman of the Sun printiog office, that in the afternoen on which said Beach directed the article to be published, he (#aid Beach) called upon said foreman, and requested him to send him down a proof of the article, ashe wished to read it.

Oyster Bay: James Gorpon Bennett, Esq :— Ri As youpermit your paper to be used by many of your innumerable friends asthe vehicle of corres- pondence, permit me to address a few lines to vou and yours, (your paper ot course,) in behalf of Oys- ter Bay: and this will not be to me a thankless task if it may awake some interest in that retired and delightful summer retreat. Wishing to relieve my- self for a while of the never-ceasing bustle of our city, I stepped on board the American Pale, and, notwithstanding a rainy day, owing doubtless to the number of Quakers on board, (whom, however, we left at Glen Cove, when, strange to say, it began to clear), had a very pleasant sail up. ‘e were met on the wharf by the worthy host of the Oyster Bay House, who, by the way, is a very agreeable and worthy landlord A five minutes’ ride brought us upto the house, which is situated in the central port of that beauti/ul village. Mr. Snedicor has re- cently taken and fitted it for the accommodation of summer boarders in a manner wholly unexception- able, and seems to lose sight of his pecuniary inter- estsin his care to anticipate every want, and. render ita home; so that it may be said ta be a public house with private principles—and it is needless to add, that of the papers that cover its table, the * Herald” lies conspicuous. The hotel overlooks the bay, and shady walks branch out in almost eve- ry direction, here and there decked with retired and comfortable dwellings, with its friendly and fa miliar people. We hope that Oyster Bay will re- commend itself to many a cily-sick citizen during the heat of the presentsummer. __ I will close by relating a little incident, (they will excuse the term), that occurred there a day or two since, of which you may have already heard. Two or three small vessels were seen anchored in their bay, gathering in oysters in a manner that wholly outraged the good citizens of that quiet village, and conseqnences followed that were equalled ont by the severe contes's of William the Testy and Peter Stuyvesant. The constable of the place called on the patriotic people to defend their rights, and an armed (!!) force sprung up like magic, feeling doubtless that this insult was less easy to swallow than their captive oysters. They sailed to the oys- ters, pirates or squatters, as they term them, and made one veesel secure i a rope, but alas! the im- pudent fellows soon cut the rope and shot off to the tune of — “ The last link is broken that bound me to thee,” carrying with them as spoils some hundred bushels oysters. Thus ended this remarkable action off Hog Island! that will net by them be soon TueaaHea Austin Purutirs’ Concert.—We were unable yesterday to give a report of this good-hearted fel- low's concert. ’Tis only to know Phillips to be his friend and well-wisher. He brought forward athis concert a foe of alent ate every one must have gone away delighted. Mary Taylor wasindisposed, but the breach was amply filled’ by the artistes pre- sent, who seemed to vie with each other how they could give satisfaction to the audience. Marks played a brilliant solo of De Beriot; Timm, the clever and unassuming, played a duett with Alpers, as a master; Mrs. Hardwick sang charmingly—al- waysan admirer of this lady’s singing, we never heard her to so much advantage as on this occasion. We pause now to describe the most extraordinary debut in the musical world ; the subject is a daugh- ter of Mre. Hardwick, evidently not more than three years old; she possesses a beautiful face, beaming with intelligence 3 to say that she hus a good voice, great compass, taste and expression, is faint praise; she astonished the profession as well as the ama. teurs, and is without doubt the most astonishing enius that ever appeared. We trust Phillips will induced to repeat his concert. Jas. G, Bennerr, Esq :— Dear Sin:—Through the medium of your valua- ble paper, allow me to call the attention of the pro- per authorities, to the dangerous situation often cho- sen for placing the fire hydrants, and especially the one on the N. E. corner of Exchange Place and Broad street ; it is about one foot in heigth, and the walk justthere being not more than that in width, it isimpossible to pass without either stepping over it, or going off the sidewalk. Having occasion to go by there a few evenings sinice, and being igno rant of thia obstruction, I received a severe fail, fom the effects of which I am still suffering. Is it just to thus endanger the lives ot our citizens? Yours, A Reaper.

BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. ; Philadelphia. [Correspondence of the Herald.) Pmuavevruta, June 6, 1848, y Washington Hotel, y, Mr. Bennetr:— My Dear Sm:— T arrived here yesterday, and have taken a room at Hartwell’s Hotel, which your old friend S. says is the best in Philadelphia, and I have no reason to dispute his judgment. I was surprised on arriving here to find so greaté apathy respecting the President’s tour, and arrival here. Said I to one gentleman, whom I knew to be a person of intelligence on most subjects, “Well, how about the President’s arrival—what are you doing here?” ‘The President?” “Yes, sir, the President.” ‘Oh, ah,—the President of the United States, you mean?” ‘Yes, the very same—there is such rsonage, I believe?” ‘‘ Oh certainly, I know. name is John Tyler.” ‘Well, what are you doing about receiving this same John ler?” “* Receiving hina?” And soon. The fact is, about half the people here in Philadelphia don’t seem to know there is such a man as John Tyler, and the other half know but little or nothing about his movements. The Com- mon Council here have done nothing at all in behalf of the city, or of themselves either, for that matter. They are whigs—hate John Tyler—and I don’t know that they will do any thing at all in the pre- The Tyler Guard have decided to entertain the President at the United States Hotel, Mr. Rea, At to the military, I believe the Major General sent, and his subordinate officers are quarreling, it is even doubtful if even the military turn out; there is some very foolish misraanagement here by the Tyler party, which the whigs say ‘‘ non est.” It is alleged that they have thrust themselves forward in this matter to the disgust of other citizens, who refuse now to have anything to do with the matter. The city, however, is strong whig, and that may account tor ital:. The locofocos will treat the Pre- sident ashe deserves. My next will be from Washington. Yours, &c., Tn haste.

ANECDOTE OF ABERNETHY.—Abernethy, the celebrated English surgeon, was summoned one day to attend a lady attached to the household of George the Fourth; “ what is your complaint, madam?” said he as he seated himself. “O nothing but a cold,” bate she ina flippant tone. ‘‘ What would you have,” said Aternethy, in the harsh and husky voiee which rendered him such a bug: bear to patients with delicete nerves, “ what would you have-the plague—eh 7” ‘This great man rightly considered colds the foundation of half the diseases that flesh is heir to, bronchitis, pleurisy, consumption, and a score of other diseases which figure conspicuously in our bills of mortality, are usually the offspring of neglected colds, “And yet there is a remedy, a specific rather, as certain in its operations as fate itself.
