GF Aliletters on business with this office, and ommunications intended for insertion, must be oddressed as heretolore to Janes Gorpon Benner, ditor and proprietor cf the New York Herald. “ RETRENCHMENT aNd Keronm.”—This caption has been worn thread bare by every party, either in or out of power, forthe past filty years, and rare is it that the true definition of either the one or the other is ever putinto practice by those who hold the reins of government. We are led to this remark from the fact that the Board of Aldermen meet on Thursday evening to take action upon the report of the Committee on Finance, on the recent commu- Examination of the Lavinia Pirates. Yesterday at 2o’clock, the prisoners, Babe and Mathews, arrested on a charge of murder and pira- cy committed on board the schooner “Lavinia,” onthe high seas, was brought up before Mr, Com- missioner Repleyea, in the U. S. District Court Room. Messrs. Hoflman and Barrett appeared as counsel for the United States, and the prisoners were defended by Megsrs. Price, Nash and Phillips The case was of unusual interest, and the. court room was filled, principally with seamen and ship owners, who watched the vestigation with the ut- most eagerness, for to them it was a matter of the deepest moment. The crime most revolting to 9 seaman’s breast, piracy, had been committed within a day’s sail of their own coast, and before them sat the beings charged with the Slood of their follow nication of the Comptroller of the city, relative to the present state of the appropriation for the year 4843, accompanied with an ordinance to reduce the expenditures of the city Government, and to pro- vide for thefeupport thereot. This committee states that without the severest scrutiny, by auditing offi- cers, and the utmost frugality in expenditures of every kind, a floating city debt at the end of the year is unavoidable. The first subject alluded to by the committee in their report is that of the Alms House, relative to which they state that the original estimate of $200,000 expenditure tor the year will not be sufficient. They, therefore, estimate that $63,000 must yet be appropriated for the remainder of the year, including $175,000 already drawn, The expenses of thisdepartment should be immediately teduced by thedischarge of hundreds of able-bodied paupers, now in the Alms House, who at thisseason ot the year should earn their own livelihood, and not be a public charge The committee also propose to abolish the sine- eure offives of Health Werdens aud Assistant to the Poard of Heelth, and devolve the duties upon the Street Luspector, whieh proposition is a laudable one, and will, we doubt not, pass without a diasent- ing voie Ja the list of Courts, we perceive under the head of centingeat expenses for the remainder of the year, the follow: “Twenty three officers attending Court of Sersione, 1x for the Superivr Court, aud tour for the Common sees eee sec cece es « $6 000" an extravagant expenditure that should be | refurmed furthwith. Ofihe twenty three officers sel-cved for attendance on the Court of Sessions, it 13 iare (hat half a dozen are to be tound in the Court room, end therefore that number wil be all sufli- cient to kecp the Court in order and pertorm ail the requisite duties. This reduction, with two for the Superior Court, will make 2 material alter- ation in the list ot Court expenditures. Under the heed ot Police we find the following : “ Sixteen day police officers at $1.60 per day for five MODE, ano ce genres ees accuses seeciss © sWR08 00 “ Ove hundred and eight Sunday officers at $1.50 per Sunday... 6 ee ese ceese see cee 7/864 00” seamen. Could they, then, look on with heedless eye or cold curiosity? No! a deeper and a truer feeling sent them to that court room and demanded their presence at a trial so interesting to every man “ Whose home is on the deep.” The accused are both young men—the most guilty, as is supposed, is Babe, who throughout the examination betrayed the stake he had in its issue by the perspiration which rolled down his brow and face, and the restless moving of the eye from the witness ‘to the examiner. When any thing came out involving himself directly, he would rub toge- ther his hands and pull his fingers until the crack of the joint¥could be distinctly heard by all in the Court Room. He is a large boned man—about five feet ten inches in height, and possessing the appearance of much muscular strength.— The other, Mathews, is an undersized lad, about 19 years of age. During the entire day he evinced the slightest possible anxiety as to the result. He evi- dently hopes that a confession willsave him from tne fate which threatens to involve his unhappy compenions. Aswe deem the cage, its history, its singular nature, andthe unbroken ehain which links so closely the evenis in its fearful denouement, of much importance and interest to all pariies and el! nations, we have reportedat at more than usual length. Mr. Barnetr.-—I Jeot it unnecessary to state this cn ie at length betore you, Mr. Commissioner, as by your Ho. nor'’s energetic ana prompt action, the persons now suught to be commitied on a charge o: murder ant piracy ou the high seas, have been arrested, and the grounds on which etch arrest has beea made are sutiiciently known to your Bo. Ishallcontert myselt with reading the section of the act of 1790, under which this commitment issought. [tis the Sth section of chapter thirty six, Ist vol. Story, page 84—wberecia it is provided, * that ifany person oF persons shel. commit upon the high se-s, or in uy tiver, haven, basin, or hay, out of the juriadiction of icular State, murder, or robbery, or any other of- hich, ifcommitted within the body ot a county, id, by the laws of the United Steter, be punished with death ; or if eny captain or mariner of any ship, or of any other vessel, :ball piratically or felonously run away with such ship or vessel, or any goods or morchan- 4 ze tu the value of $50, or yleld up such ship er vessel voluntarily to ony pirate ; or if Sny seaman shall lay violent hands upon his commander, thereny to hinder or prevent his fighting in defence of his ship or gootls com- mitted to his trust ; or shall make a revolt in the ship, every such offender shall be deemed, taken, and adjudged to he, a pirate, and a felon ; and being thercof convicted, ‘The abolishment of halt the day police officers and all the Sunday officers, would meet with the hearty coucurrence of every individual in any man- ner acquainted with the police of ourcity. Leta day and night patrol police of city marshals be esta blished at once, and day and Sunday officers will be totally useless. The Committee finally resolve to compel the keeper of the city prion to receive the fees paid to him as a part of his salury of $1000 per annum, and if the fees so received by him shall not be equal to the amount of such salary, he shall only be entitled to receive from the corporation the amount of such deficiency ; andin the same breath reduce the fees of the deputy keepers from $620 to $550, and also abolieh the office of engineer to the city pnson. In this movemeat the committee have evinced 60 little knowledge of the‘duties"performed by these officers that certainly they,must have labored under some ross error inarriving at such a strange conclusion. The duties of keeper of the city prison are more ar- duous and more responsible than any other in the gift of the common council, and when it is known to the committee that the keeper is provided with neither house room nor provisions, it seems strange that such a recommendation should be presented.— He receives no emoluments nor profits, as is cus- tomary in other prisons for board of accused per- sons, and the fees of writs of habeas corpus and discharge of prisoners, never equal the expense of rent of dwelling, &c., which is furnished the keep- er of Blackwells Island and Eldridge street prison. The reduction of the salaries of the deputy keepers and the abolishment of the office of engineer of the prison, are still more illiberal and improper. The abolishment of the latter office will be the cause of the blowing up of the court room of the General Sessions, and the Joss of lives and destruction of the building; and when it isremem- bered that the Deputy Keepers have the responsibili- ty and labor of alternately acting as night watch to the prison and receive no board nor house room, their compensation of $629 should not be reduced a dollar. Instead of reducing the salaries of either of the last named officers in order to “‘retrench and reform,” let a cool thousand be taken from’ the Counsel of the Board—another five hundred from the Corporation Attornes—ihe same from the Su- perintendant of Streets, Comptroller, Street Com- missioner, Mayor, &c. &e., aud not oppress those whore humble stations and arduous services call for protection from a party protessing to make the interesis of the laboring population their guiding political star. Tue Evections.—We have very partial returns from North Carolina, of the election which took place last week. What the result has been we knew at present. Mr. Rayner, there is no doubt, is re-ciected, but of the rest we have no sa- tistactory information. Mr, Rayner isa Whig, and not one of the most amiable and accomplished men in Congress. He gives promise of a brilliant future es a statesman Tus Disraicr Arronney.—!t will be seen by the reported proceedings of the Court o! eral See sions, that the question whether there is, or is nota “* jegel” District Attorney for the city and county of New York, has been presented for the decizion of the Judges of that court on a legal point of consi deral)+ unportance, and itis believed that such de- cision will leave the office vacant, and the Court the power to appoint for the time being. Won't there be applicants enough for the place ? Dr. Fussy.—A great many cock-and-bull stories about this notorious divine are going the rounds of the papers. Amongst them is one by a newspaper scribbler connected with a Richmond paper which represents the Doctor as a “ diminutive locking man” and very eccentric. It is added that he end his wife, in order to mortify the ficsh, are in the habit of having the most € ant dinners placed on the table, to which they sit down, but immediately rise without eating a mouthful. What becomes of the viands alterwarde the veracious correspondent does not intorm ue, but from the facility with which he swallows ail sorts of stories, we are inclined to suppose that he would be very serviceable in eflect- ing the expeditious disposal of the savory dishes placed on the Doctor's table. A Buank to Be Fintan Ur.—In poetry, sculpture and painting, America has given to the world names which the world will not ‘williogly let die.” But America has not yet produced a musical composer This is somewhat strange. No one can doubt the shall suffer death ; andthe trial of crime committed en the high seas, or in any place out of the jurisdiction of apy puriicular Stete, shall be in the district where the of- fender apprehended, or into which he may first be rought.” This, sir, isthe section under which the crime charged against those persons is provided for, and I will now call the witnesses to show why the prisoners should stand committed for the alleged offence. Mr. Paice.— Where, and by whom is the offence so charged? Mr. Baraetr—'The affidavit is made by William Keefe, who sets forth that from certain suspicious appvarances in and about the schooner ‘‘Lavinia,” there is probable cause to suspect, and he dees suspect that the captain, m and cook of that vessel have been murdered, and that piracy has been committed on the high seas by David Babe, George I. Mathews, and William Webster men on boardsaid sc..ooner. The atfidavit is not’ h nor is Mr. Keefe. ‘Mr. Paice—I apprehenda question arises here as to the jurisdiction ot this Court. The party under the section of th just read, areto be tried in the District where th all have first been landed.

Dearborn was master, and Walter A. Nicoll, mate. The master was about 31 years, endthe mate 23 yearsof age. The crew consisted of three sea- men and one colored cook, in all six souls. I do not re- member the name of the cook, but from what I saw stated inthe newspapers, I believe it was John Johnson. fore the schoener sailed | saw her shipping articles believe. Ihave not since seen the vessel,nor the captain, mate or cook. Q—Do you recognise either of the accused as belong ing to the crew of such schooner. A-—I cannot speak positively—I have a general recol- lection. I think the large man (Bcbe) went on board. I did not see the log-book, but am pretty certain I saw the shipping artieles.

Exsexezen Berny.—I reside at Pawtucket, about four miles from Troy, Massachusetts. Iam a seaman, attach - ed to the good sloop “Fairhaven” of Providence, as mate. I know the schooner “Lavinia.” Q—State the circumstances under which you became acquainted with that vessel.

We bore down to her, when the Captain told me to take the cook and the boy and geton board of her.

W. O. Russenn, resumed.—t arri: here on Thursday morning; had no warrant, but came on for the express yurpose of arcane the prisoners; I arrested Mathews rat. He gave up all the baggage he had. Q—Did Mathews make any voluntary statement to you, and if so, what was it ? A—He did. Mr. Nasu.—We object to this kind of evidence. The decJarations of this man so far as Babe and Webster are concerned, cannot by any rule of law, be admitted,as they were not present. ‘This 15 a settled rule of law, and unless the confession of Mathews has been made legally, after that he had been warned how forsuch aconfession weuld eriinate himse!f, and informed of his reserved rights, then I must move that such evideace be ruled out. Mr. Baanett.—I never knew before thuta voluntary confession, made without threats, promises or 1duce- ments, could net be received us testimony. Now Mat thewsdid make such a voluntary cunfession, and! hold it that such confession could be used to criminate himself, as well a8 his accoinplices in crime. I goon the broad ground that this confession can Le taken against bal he isshown to have been on board the vessei with thews, ond to have beea Icagued with him in the commi sion of the very ciime with which he himself stands charged. Mr. Parc.—The counsel for the United States is assu- ming too much. He says they were on board together; we deny that any thing bas yet been shown, by which it can by any possibility be inferred that Mathews and Babe ever mvt on board that vessci. Mr. Banaurr—There is plenty of Prost in my opinion —the watch, the coat, and the several articles recegnised as belonging to the mate bemg found in the possess the accused, is sutticient to show probable cause, W: all the prosecntiog officer requires, that the parti leag’ gether.

(ask, is the corpus delicté proven? Is there any testimony to show that Babe and Mathews scuttled the vessel? None. Is there a scintilla of evidence to show that Babe and Mathews were concerned inthe mur- der of the captain, mate and cook? None.

The testimony sofar as relates to the bole in the vessel, shows that it was not the hand of man which caused if, but that it resulted {rom the is assuming too action or accident of the ocean.

About July 14 or 15, Babe and the mate had the night watch, Webster and himself bein, below; Babe celled them up,cnd told how the Captain an mate, ina scuffle, had fallen overboard ; he then said he would take charge of the vessel and briug her into port; he stood on his course for about 24 hours, then changed it due west ; he gave asa reason for such acourse, that he intended to run for the nearest port, About 86 hours ter he agein changed to N. N. West, spoke a vessel, and was informed that Bermuda was the nearest port, and lay due west—New York N. N.W. This course he kept on for a few days, when about the fourth day previous to leaving the ship, he called Webster and Mathews to him, and then teld them that it was necessary to help him to kill the cock, as he would certainly blab on them when they arrived in port. Webster advised to takea pilot on board ; Babe relused,and watched his opportunity ; this presented itselfon Saturday (they left the vessel on Sun- day) when he erdered us to “ tack ship” and sent the cook to haul aft the fore sheet; while the cook was stooping down Babe took up a mallet and split his head open, and assisted by Webster, he hove the dead body overboard! Babe then cut open the floor of the cabin, in order te scuttle the ves- sel, but being baffled thereghe went forward, and tore off the scaling and then dreve out the trunnel. This done; he ordered the long boat to be hove out, end the three then ieft the ship to her fate. and landed at Secounet Point, on the southwest end of Rhode Island. Q—Hed you any cenversation with Babe when you sted him? ed Babe, I first searched hii r watch; when I asked what he had done with the mate’s gold waich, he replied that he had exchanged itfor the silver one and $14 in money, but where he could not exactly describe; he said tne captain and mate fell overboard, and :hat he did not know but that the cook et on board the schooner—in reply to my question he said he had not made away with him. Q—Did you board the schoouer, and if so, by whose orders, and what etate did you find her in ? A—1| boarded the Lavinia in the stream, by order of the istrict Attorney, for the purpose of meking on examina tion.

Businese remained dull—produce low. The government was stillinun ungetiled state ; the electors were to meet onthe 5th of September to select a President. Several triala for treason were shortly to take place. On the 23d of July seven vessels of war were reported lying off and on the 24th three French men-of-wer arrived in the harbor. The French steamer Gomer arrived on the 24th, on her way to Jamaica. President Boyer was at Jamaica at the last accounts. Tue Travetuinc Szason.—The city is {ull of strangers, and the hotels are crammed. The de- partures are, however, as numerous as the arrivals, so that travellers had better enquire at head quar- terswhether there be room for them, before they make up their minds that they cannot gain admis- sionand comfortable lodgment in our principal ho- tels. A friend of ours, by neglecting this advice, didnotapply atthe Astor House, his old quarters, and his experience verrified the adage about “go- ing further and faring worse.” Wetcn’s Great Crrcus.—This celebrated troupe of equestrians, as we have already announced, has arrived out at Gibraltar. Gen. Welch has been ta- ken under the special protection of his Excellency the Governor. We perceive by one of his bills, which he has sent us, that he gave his first perform- ance on Tuesday evening, June 27. The multitude of his friends whom he has left behind him, will be pleased to hear that he meets with deserved suc- cess. He says in a private note :— We have succeeded beyond our most sanguine expec: tations, and arenow performing to overflowing houses, under the immediate patronoge of the Governor, from whom wehavatacdyal many favors. Our next’ place will be Algiers, on our way to Constantinople, after which it is our intention to visit Grand Cario. {ts Sol Smith, of the Southern Theatres, has arrived in this city, and is now at the Astor House. §g- The trial of Raymond P.

Bryan, of Clarksville, and Gideon C. Mat- lock, of Carthage. Several shots were fired, which resulted in the death of Mr. Bryan, who survived his wound but a few minutes. The affair will be fully investigated before the civil tribunals.

Nisto’s —To-night the English Vaudevilles com- mence for a short season ; those announced (or to- night are veritable Vaudevilles, with songs, &c. incidental to the piece— not dragged in, as we have seen all sorts of pieces announced as Vaudevilles. As Mr. John Sefton originally introduced this spe- cies of entertainment at the Garden, we may ex- pect something worthy of his usual taste, and the establishment. The Blue Domino will be eupported by Mra. Hunt, who led the comedy with so much success at the Park last seaton, and John Se/ton, who appears for the first time this season, in the Vaudeville of He's Not a Miss. Mr. Davenport, from the Philadelphia Theatres, will make his first appearance in New York, as also a Mr. Vaché. Both these gentlemen are engaged by Mr. Simpron, for the Park, next winter Mrs. Hunt, the pretty Miss Reynolds, and John Sefton, also appear. eae Tux Cratnam.—We last night took occasion to witnees the new piece, written expressly to suit the pecu iar performances of the Ellsler Brothers, who are of course its great feature, and we found their feats of strength worthy of all thathas been said of them. Intermixed with and forming part of the ir- cidents of a drama, they are as pleasing as surpri- sing. Notthe least astonishing part of their per- lormance is the extraordinary manner in which they forma bridge by the connection of their bodi across which a troop of soldiers passa deep ravine to release the heroime of the piece from a detested marriage. Bat these are other feats which exhibit 4 superhuman power to whieh no description could do justice. morning Recorder Tallmadge of Conspiracy to Defraud the Atlan tic Insurance Company. 2 At ‘the opening of the Court of Sessions yesterday stated that in the case of James Bergen, brought before him on Monday afternoon on a writ of habeas corpus,on a charge of conspiracy to defraud the Atlantic Insurance Company of the sum of $50,000, in company with a man named Hamilton, he should proceed to deliver his opinion. The question be- fore him, he said was, that of admitting the accused to bail,and also whether the bail demanded by Justice Matsell, who entertained the complaint, was excessive or not. In allusion te the charge the Recorder said if Sutton was te be credited, which of course he could not be with- out strong corroporating circumstances, the case present ed one of the deepest and most jextensive conspiracies that had everbeen exposed in a Court of Justice, After tothe peculiarity of the transaction, ‘i Sularsof which have Dech fully’ given ia our sheet) the Recorder remarked that he had no ition to prejudge the case, osit might on trial assume a different aspect, but in connectio: and among the papers that had been Kekdcahiertecteny ¥ r examination, he perceived a letter written by Bergen to the Atlantic Insurance Com- y, which & most extraordinary feature in. he case, te to eorroborate the testimony of Sutton. Mr. Paice—' the Court please shew the Counsel of accused that letter, as they have not seen it, the Justice er positively retused that privilege on the examina: ion quent Arrorney—Certainly, sir, we have no objec- jons. Reronten or Heratp—(To the District attorney, pri- vately)—Can you let us have acopy of that interesting piece of evidence ? a Dutaset Attonney—I shall be compelled to refuse you at thisstage of the case, as there are matters connected with the letter that will not do for public exposure until additional evidence is procured. Recorvex—My conclusion is thatthe accused shall be held to bail to answer the charge, and asthe Grand Jury are now in session, and the principal witness in prison, and the parties all on the spot, thecase can be presented to them forthwith for their action. Ifon review of the case | should make any alteration in the amount ot bail as fixed by the justice it would be to increase the sum and not decrease it. The charge, it will be seen, involves thi attempt to obtain the large sum of $50,000, and also is cludes the allegation of subornation of perjury, which is onefol the most heinous ofiences known to our lows. tnerefore decide that the accused must find bail inthe aum of $8000 for his spoceenoe to answer the charge. Neither the accused, noc his associate, Hamilton, were in court, although they were tully represented by their several counsel. City Intelligence. Granp Larcexy, Ansoy, avp Fororry.—On Sunday evening about 12 o'clock, the dwelling of Alanson James, No. 337 Broadway, was discovered to be on fire, in one of the clothes presses, but the flamus were soon extinguish- ed without much damage to the premises. An examina: tion of the place where the fire was discovered, led toa belief that the fire had been communicated by en incen: diary, and officer A. M.C. Smith, was immediately call- ed ia to ferret out the mystery. Upon close search, it was arcertained that a large quantity of valuable cloth- ing, belonging to Mrs. James and other inmates of the houze, was missing, es also some silver plate, including half{a dozen silver tea spoons, marked “Adelaide.” Fur- ther enquiry led to the discovery of the absence of a colored woman, named Lavina Richmond, and a mulatto called Christiana Jane Williams, who had been em- ployed as servants cn the premises, aad suspicion immediately resting upon them, officer Smith, in compa. ny with his brother James und officers Welch and Wel ker, immediately gavo search and secured the partics tho following day. ‘On searching their lodgings, dresses and other clothing taken from the house of Mr. Jamcs, were found, and a pawn ticket issued from King’s shop, in Canal street, where the stolen spoons had been left. In connexion with the arrest of the two women, one of their associates, and a rela- tive named Mary Allen, was also secured, who terwarde stated that she forged a memorandum inthe name of Mrs. James, which was sent to the pawnkroker’s shop of King, requesting him to advance six dollars on the spoons. ‘This trick is what servant thieves call ing the pawnbroker’s.” The clothing and silver had been removed from the house by these devils incarnate, and then at the dead hour of night, when the whole ly, co: sisting of eigliteen souls, were locked in the arms of sleep, they spplied the torch'of the incendiary to the premises in order to cover the paltry theft they had com- mitted by destroying the house, then adding arson and murder to their previous crimes. They will be tried and SP caar for arson, which by our laws, is punishable with jeath.

A Byrcuer Bor Derautten.—This character of crime has become so common among the “upper crust” that the “under crust” has become impregnated with the disease, and sccordingly Mr. Jesse Cleves, victualler, at 67 Ch street, was induced yesterday toenter complaint at lower police against a person recently in his employ, named John W. Day. He ststed that Day had been en: gged with him since the fourth of July last, and suspect- ing recently that he was dishonest, he marked a number of twenty five cent and five franc leces, which he left in the money drawer, and also sent by persons to the shop in payment for meat and vegetables. During the day he caused Day to be arrested and searched, and the missing marked money was found in his pockets. He estimates his loss by these practices, during the past month, at $75. Day was committed for examination. Vice Chancellor's Court.

THE SOUTHERN MAIL. [Correspondence of the Herald.] Putnapetrnia, Aug. 8, 1843. Great Excitement—Delegate Election—Ballot Box Broken up—Fighting, §c. The locofocos held- their delegate election last night, and the very devil wasto pay among them. In the Third Ward, the frends of Colonel Paynter broke up the ballot box, and prevented the election. Analderman figured, conspicuously. The parties fought—swore—drank—and yelled’ ! New Market Ward was also a scene of fighting from beginning to end. Peter Wood and his party, undertook to beat off American citizens from the ground, but got most contoundedly beat themselves. Pidgeon the good-natured host of the “Southern Head uarters,” was cheated out of his election, but he takes it all in good part. The police interfered at midnight, and dispersed the rowdies. First Ward, Moyamensing, and several other wards. broke u; in the midst of terrible commotion. The tumult and confusion was disgraceful throughout. _ The McCully delegates for congress are elected in the first district. Fourth and Shippen, and Sixth and Shippen, presented a scene of rowdyism up to 2 bieioee this morning. I shall write more to-mor- row on this subject.

F.) ‘The Norfolk Herald of Monday says:— We have returns from 5 out of 17 precinctsia Edgecomb. That county, of course, will give ita usual democratic majority of 1200 or 1300. But the Jetter communicating the above intelligence, says, **Stanly’s majority in all the ten counties [compos- ing the district] except the above, is certainly 2275, propably 2680"—which must secure his election. Nevertheless, we consider the election ot Mr. Stan- ly exeeedingly doubtful. We leam that large suns have been bet on this election—a circumstance to be regretted, however the election may turn. Seventu Districr.—Ful! returns have been re- ceived from the conaty of Halifax. The vote stands —tor Nash (W.) 660; for Daniels (L. F.) 266—a whig gain of 46 votessince last year.
