NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Sunday, October 29, 1843. “Tus Mysterimsor Paris,” anp te Mysre- nies or Moratity.—We live in a moral ege—a ve- ry moral age. That is unquestionable. But there are peculiarities about this morality which ere somewhat amusing. It is avery convenient ond obliging morality. Unlike the sirail-laced puritani- cal garment which was once very fashionable in its day, that which now prevails in the piously gen- teel circles, possesses a comfortable looseness, and sits as easily asa dressing gown. The fashionable eode of morals very rigidly denounces the vulgar vices of profane swearing, indulgence in gin-ard- bitters before dinner, and picking pockets. But the plunder of banks and honest tradesmen—faith- lessness to solema honorable obligations—quiet, respectable profligacy of all kinds, receive the jadgmentof charity, and are amply atoned tor by regular atlendance in ‘the sanctuary,” and hand- some donations ia aid of the propagation of the Gospel in foreign parts. Bat there cannot, perhape, be afforded a better illustration ot the real charac- ter of that morality, with which the great mess of that portion of society, who arrogate to themselves the exclusive right and title to be regarded as the Virtuous—the pure—the pious—ihe “salt of the earth”—seek to cover their hypocrisy, leprosy and rottenness, than that which is furnished by the re- ception given to a species of literature which has recently been imporied amongst usirom the French Capital. Amongst the novelists, who have sclected their materials from the lowest and vilest haunts of profligacy and crime, Eugene Sue is not the least zuished. He has made the most of his chosen held; and in‘ Tae Mysteries of Paris” introduces his readers to a very extensive circle of the thieves, harlote, and assassins of that remarkablecity. The conversation—habits—conduct, and character of these classes are described with great fidelity. In- trigue—illicit love—robbery—murder ; these are the chief ingredients cf this exciting novel, and they are worked up with the spirit and power of a master. Tae warmth of the coloring—the inflim- matory nature of the details—the whole tone and character of the novel, render it infinitely more dangerous than any of the wr.tings of the wicked drama ists cr novelists—such as Fielding, Lewis, or Farquhar, whese'works have been honored with aplace inthe Index Expurgatorius of the “ rigidly righteous.” Yet we fiad this novel printed and pub- lished by pious publishers—sold by pious book- sellers—puffed by pious editora, lice the Rev. David Hale—and greedily devoured by thousands of pious ladies and gentlemen of ail ages and conditions, and degrees in godliness. You find it on drawing- room tables—in compaay with the best evangel‘cal sermon and the Rev. Dr. Wainwri; ht’s elegant edi- tion of the Book of Sommon Prayer. You are sure to see ia the boudoircf the fashionable lady who collects money to save the sou's of the perishing heathen, ond never fails in attene dance at the genteel moathly concert for prayer in the basement of the Rev. Dr. Poundtext’s church.— Very pious papers who were violently agitated with virtuous indigaation at the truthful revelation of some of the ‘* Mysterics of New York” in the “* He- rald” the other day, experience very “ifferent em tions, a? they sit composedly by the cheerlul even- ing fire, and in the presence of their pious progeny, yield themselves willing auditore of Eugene Sue, whilst he relates the interesting incidents which make up the stories of Parisian prostitutes and thieves Now contrast with reception of Parisian novel, the whining, howling deprecations, with which the very save classes are accustomed to at- tack every honest, faithful exposition of the state and progress of the socie they forma portion. Let but a comm at one of the civil courts, involviag an i exhibition of the consequen of the violation of those laws of moralicy oa which the very security of society in‘a state of pence und order depends, be reported in the “ Herald,” and you hear aloud out- ery of ‘* horrible! indecent! oh! good gracious, how improper!” {rom the same pious circles, in which the very moral and pure pages of Eugene Sue are now circulating with perfect freedom ! We do notat present enter on any examination of the merits, or demerits, of sach publications as the “* Mysteries of Puris,” or of the influences for good or evil which their circulation universally is likely to exercise. Tais eubject is obviously of no small interest and importance, and we may soon re- curto it. But our object just now is to expose the hypocrisy andiaconsisteacy of those who purchase and read such works, whilst at the same time they “deal damnation round the Jand,” on such conduc. tors of the public press as possess the courage and correct sense of the duties of their position, which enable them to be indeed truthful chronicies of the age—faithfal painters of the manners, errors, vices, und follies of their time. ve and warning Generat Bextranp —This venerable hero visit ed West Point yeterday. He returned in the eve- ning highly delighted with hisexcursion. He was very enthusiastically received at West Point and exatrined the Military: Academies with evident in- terest.

A—Yes, I carried the wash stand there, associations—the expurgation of the songs and odes intreduced—and the prevention of the admission of improper characters amongst the singers. Some- thing of this sort was much wanted in many case*, and we trust that the respectable individuals who have taken up the matter will be enabled to eflect their object.

Gentlemen, if h 14a husband, no damages which you verdict, can be sufficiently heavy. Such conduct comes nome to the hearth of every one of us, and our feelings 4 insympathy foe theinjared husband. But of the jury, tin this case there is another to be considered. Isthere not a wife to betried here? T ap- peal ty you as men in her bebalf.

But perhaps the counsel will ex) that a woman who bus jheen #o reckless of the solem! vow she has sworn atthe marrivge alter, could also br cuilty of another crime, by adding perjury to aduttery,— I ie for y' gentlemen, to consider this, And J 4 to you a b-arther through the tr partiality. She is a woman, as deepl 1 with justice and strict 1m- jentlemen, nor is she with The. outiriends. Her widowed andheirt-broken mvth: of the hard earnings of her own industry bes secured the services of our abic Associate Judge Talimadge to defend the ebaracter,the honor of herself,ond her helpless daugh- ter. Nor is she without other friends—and female friends, who through every report have gathered around her to cheer and counsel her in her adversity, Her mother, an aged and respected widow from Long Island, has cirendy suffered many losses at the hands of this amiable plaiatiff! The savings of hee hard earnings are expended in fees to defend herdaughter against the malicious charge of the man to whose arms she had given hi 0 shield and pro- tect herthrough the trials and daugers which beset her path in life. A man, however vicious, however deep bebis guilt and intamy, may be received into the socicty of histetlow men, but eternal disgrace is the lot of the fallen woman. One step aside from the strict path of virtue and downward the falls into degradation and shame—never, never to rise again. Vice, poverty, and prostitution await her. But, gentlemen of the jury, the woman in this case shrink from the trial? No, she even now before your face, y her presence, an: af possiole, by her sotemn oa/h, to shew tbe worl tha’ he does not Shrink from the investigation,which if guilty ihe dare not demand. Nocisshethe only oue who must suffer—No! her widowed mother, he rs, her bro thers, who e meintained an honorable and respected position in society; they await the consequence with agoniring anxiety, for their honor, their happiness is in- volved in that ofthe child aod sister. They are here to confitm what I now teil you—that this is but afoul con. spiracy snd combination to ruin her, Her brothers, how must they teel? One of them 1s in the South, andlam glad he is not here, for he is too spirited to bear the blow quietly—the other, a young lad, clerk in anutice—he here, and out of pittance he recei: hag conti ved ave moncy to aid hi t stricken mother in hunting up witnesses “and preparing a defence for the sister he adores. Gentlemen of the Jury, our client in this case labors under great difficulty— ometimes in c' f this kind,the defendant has to a conspiracy to extort money from him. But in this case, how stands it? Why, that boy there is in this court not simply to detend himself, but to sustain the wife of the man who charges him with her dishonor. And why, gen- tlemen 7 because he knows ia his heart that she is inno- cent! If, gentlemen of the Jury, that boy is so degraded and aban foned a character as the evidence of that black man woul! stamp him, then he had better have remained court—bis ion is forfeited in this tter betake himself else from the scorn which he deserves at the hards of every honest man Think you, if such was his character, he would not have preferred saying : “ Assess your damages—render what verdict yon like—1l will never pay ingle cent!” But no—he is before you to-day. Ifhe had chosen to eub- mit tamely to this charge, then had he suffered the woman involved with him to have been tried and condemned un heard, unpitied and unprotected. Gentlemen, he has chosen to contest the ground for her, inch by inch—to fight through every obstacle and reproach, to shield her from that inevitable fate to which this combination would consign her forever, Yes, [ say combination ; and L here declare that this is but a combination entered into between the husband and Mary Waldron, to further their own guilty designs [At this peint, the sensation immense, The plaintiff—the wite—the unfortunate girl whose name announced as the partner in the conspiracy—the female friends, were in tears} Yes, | say Miss Waldron—for you have before you tho letter written by that boy to her, obtained by the opposite coun- sel by some means and for some purpose. Gentlenen, thi is a fact sworn to, and how are we to dispose of it, but by showing a confeaeration, and by aT ou the utter falsity of the oath which that black mau has sworn to? This we will do, I fee jaured.— ‘The opposite counsel has ettempted to show to you how bapptly and affectionately the plaintiff and “his wife bad lived together, and so their witnesses have told you. Gentlemen, will you not be with me, and bear me out when I say, that it is not the hushand’s acts commit. ted by daylight in the presence of friends, which oughtto be considered in this matter. No, it is the cruelty prace tiged in secret towards the wife, which must determine how far affectioncan be mutual.’ Then I will show you here in the presence of all who besr me, thatthe plaintuf by his disgusting, degrading conduct, hes cruelly treated the partner of his bosom. I am so instructed, and lam satisfied such instructions are founded in fact, that th plaintiff hes been guilty of acts towards his wife, which no man, no husband with the teelings of a man could have been guilty of, and yet this is the man who claims dama- ges at your hands. Gentlemen, I think I can show to you, that in the presence of young men and women, he would pull up tho clothes of his wife to show what handsome leg shejhad! ‘This is disgusting to me to spe of, end to the ccurt te listen to, but we cannot help it Justice and strict, stern duty to my client and that female, requires me to deciare it openly. Again, he would trom behind her back uubare her bosom, and exbibit to the: young people what “nice bubbies” his wife hed!! Ire gret deeply that it is my lot to be compelled to speak such sickening words, but hi I not cause? Is nota wie—a young boy ificed, and by th man who has been guilty of such conduct? Cen you bi lieve that he was married to that woman? Surely he ought to be dismissed from your presence with indignity, and scouted from society if we prove this te you, as 1 think wecan. 1 thank God thet the woman has no chil dren to drag after her througa the world for people to scoff and point at. If we prove this, will you not give us a verdict? If we show you that the plaintiff wes in the habit of teking liberties Miss Waldron in the pr tence of his wife? If I prove to youthat Mary Waldron and the plaintitt'were seen on the hed together in the sum mer, in the middle of the noon day, will you say that he hes riqut to claim great damages at your hands? Yes, we will show this, l more: Thathe had invited young nd hadseen them do so without ob- er presence he was wontto handle other ween, and to kissthem repeatedly. G-ntlemon, 1 believe that Mr. Van Cott got his information égaiast bis wife from Mary Waldron. 1 did expect tl he would have been laced on that stand by the other side—she has not, but we have the right to bring her here, and to show you who sheis. Her letters ia the hand+of the plaintiffs counsel connect her with this conspiracy, satisfies me that sue is at the very bottomof it. A feeling unhallowed of love tor that girl has sprung up in the breast of Van Cott; his wife has outlived his liking, and hejeeks by your verdict to obtain a divorce, in order that Mory Wallron may supply the place of the women he @ mercilessly castefrom him. Geotfemen, i he obtaia your verdict, what isthe consequence? Why.adivore will be qrauted, and while the wretched woman is d barred from entering into the honds of matrimony during his lifetime, he can, ay soon as he desires it, plece another woman on his arcioge bed. And here [tell you thet Mary Waldron is to be thet woman. He then proce:d™s tocommest on the nature of the testimony given by the black man, and its utter ity. He said he wes pre pared with abandant proof that every word stated by that hegroin his cross-examination as to the sicuation of the attic room, its furniture and the window, was a most in- tamous fabrication. He is ( Mr. Edwards) what J would call a smart negro; and we find someof these le very shrewd and cunning. bas had well by t the lesson which he was to repeat to you on that have been weil conned over, ifmy worthy end ab'e associate could not shake it. But cunning men, whetaer white or blask, often over- reach them elves. And this is the case in this instance. By the’ es :ription of that room, we are able to overthrow tie testemony of that negro, which, if not rebdut- wed, would inevicably have ruined the wife who sits yonder, and that miseab'c boy. I leave that black man to the tender mercies of my_ arso- sociate, who, iff mistake not, wil! hold him up in darker colors than he now appearsin. Weare upona trac! hint has been given us, which, if it eventuates hope, will dye that negro bieckerthan the deepest dye One wordin conclusion—Ii 1 am not able to suow you that there exists a combination between Mary Waldron and the Pisintiff to destroy the reputation of the wife and ruin thet boy—if what fhave stated, eccording to the instructions I received about that young womaa be uni founded, then indeed will | have done a thing which I never shali cease to regret ; willingly would Ihave spat> ed them both,could [ do so conscientionsly ; gladly wentd Thavepermi ted tkat young temale, who is but stepping upon the treshold of fife, with ll the kepes, and ardent expectations, which fill the br young, the virtuous and the gnileless,did I not believe solemnly that she is deeply, de+ply inveivedin this aw ful crime—1 have the feelings of a man, and ing wittingly I would not utter a single word which coul’ sully the mirror of female character, unless impelled to do co by the stern dictates of truth, duty end justice ; God knows I feel for that woman, if sh guilty, but if innocent, 1 again repeat that 1 will this dey h. that whicb, thronghout my future life, incerely and bitterly lament. Again—th: ages in this cese have laid at $10,000 — Gentlemen, you must not hasten into a verdict ; you You must not take the statements which have been blazon- ed forth by the newspapers of this city relative to this trial, and particniarly to this young boy. I know not whether the press have been tampered with, and money employed to advertise this young man as possessing much property—but I can say t ements are falwe— barely ialse. party who h is ection thought that the father of the de! behind him considerable property to his children, or he never would have been induced to bring this action. 1 will tell you that the heira were disappointed—the proper ty which in 1926 was worth somethiog, has now dwindled down to a paltry moiety, and this young boy, this defend ant, is d dent on the labor of his own hends, on the sweat of his own brow, for the food he eats, the clothes he wears, and the expenses into which the harsh conduct of the plaintiff has driven him. 1 haveknown him tor years, ond I will say that I never knew a better honorable and trustworthy lad than William harp It was this character, and my unshaken belict that he has still a right to the same high name, which has brought me here this day to defend him. His mother married again, but th pirited boy could not brook rule of a youn: p- father, but preferred, as aclerk in Attorney’s office, to earn the pittance on which heh supported himself—and this is the reason why he w: compelled to seck a boarding house, and not the shelter of the roof beneath which his mother keepy the dc+ mestic circle—thus, without a re to counsel him, ne has been surrounded hy the machinations of these designing prtsons. Why, if Mary Waldron w: the decent person she should be, why, I say, dees she per- mit the letters written to her by this unsuspecting boy be “xposed in open court and blazoned to the world? Wh: for the purpose of accomplishing her ends, Mr. Cott’s feelings have been enlisted towards her ; he is tched to her,and I fee! sutistied sh made him believe that his wife i# tie guilty woman she would have her.
