The Court, however, over ruled it, though it} had some doubts about it-] Q—Haye you ever sven any rude, indecent and harsh acts of Van Cott towards his wife ? ‘A—I hav: him expose her bosom; he would un- hook her dress, and then do as he was inclined, saying what handsome bY" she had; this [ observed more than once; I think other persons were present, some of them unmarried men; I have seen him take hold of the bottom of her clothes, and expose her naked could see above her knees; this was in the presence of unmar- ried men; Mrs. Van Cott exhibited anger, and would cry. Q—Did she ever treat such conduct as a joke? A—She never did; I have heard her tell him te “let her be.” These things were of frequent occurrence. Q—Was he guilty of indecent conduct to other females in the presence of his wife ? A—He was guilty of indecent conduct to myself; when I was far advanced in pregnancy, not fit to be seen in the street; he asked me to go toa bali; Ireplied, that he well knew lconid not Uh,ssid he, “you can put on panta. loons and pass for an alderman”; this was at the tea table; there were males present; after the birth of my child, he made ure of such vulgar and improper language to me as Icould not bring myself to relate; this was at the dinner table, some males were present; it was the first time 1 ap- peared atthe dinner table after my confinement. Q—Were you present when he made some boosts about a child of his, or which he pretended was his? A—Yes, [have heard him threaten his wife to bring the child home; his wife used to cry on such oecaions; Mrs. Jones was present; Mrs. Vun Cott told him thet if hehad a child, to bring it home and she would take care of it! Q—Did you see him take any other indecent familiarities with his wife? t say particularly. : Q—Was his conduct towards his wife modest and affec- tionate? A—No. It was generally vulgar and indecent. Q—Do you recollect any other improper conduct of the man towards yourselt ? ‘A—Yes; on one occasion I had to leave the dinner table, his conduct and conversation to me, while I was in a pt ticnlar way, was so gross and insulting? Q—Have you seen any improper familiarities between Vun Gott and Mary Waldren ? ‘A=Ihave seen him put his hands upon her naked bosom in the presence of his wife; he said something, but it is too indecent to repeat; however, he did not say that “they were pretty.” (A regular laugh at this instance of “ woman’s revenge ”) Q—Do you know that Mrs. Van Cott took in sewing ? A—She did; she wus employed by several persons; is a neat needle woman. Q—Have you ever heard him invite young men to kiss hin wife? ‘A—I don’t remember; I think he kissed about all the ladies who visited the house; a regular Don Govanni ! ae diect exemination being ended, the Court decided to adjourn.

Having taken a seatin the cars, my attention was directed to my- fellow travellers, and, upon looking around, who should I find opposite me but the “ godlike Daniel.” His philosophical physiognomy peered out from beneath his broad-rimmed hat, and his gigantic proportions were covered to the neck in a sauff colored surtout, with horn buttons.

The latest accounts received at Laguna from Vera Cruz stated that there was no probability of the Yucatan Commissioners coming to any amica- ble understanding with the Mexican government. ‘We may now look for a renewal of the warfare that made up almost the sum total of the reports from that couatry during the last six months or a year. ‘We have also dates from Tobasco to the 24h Sept.

James Gorpon Bennett, Eeq.— My Dear Sin :—_ Some considerable time has elapsed since | last had the pleasure of addressing you from this port, which circumstance will undoubtedly be satislac- torily explained, by stating that no direct opportuni- ty for your cit! has offered subsequent to the depar- ture of the schooner Mary Anna, and, in fact, no- thing of particular importance worth mentioning has transpired either in commercial, political, mili- tary, or ecclesiastical affairs, to my knowledge, for the month past. Busivess isextremely dull at present with us, but many entertain hopes that the coming year will bring about a more salutary state of things, than the present, which has undoubtedly lett a rather disagreeable inproesiee upon the minds of numer- ous traders and epeculators in the productions of this country, whether forwarded to Europe or to the United States. The planters of Venezuela have already opened their eyes to the prospect before them ; and I conjecture, by the experience of the two last years, will convince themeelves that cof- fee, cocoa, cotton, &c, raised by them cannot maintain the exceesively high prices, which in for- mer years these articles have been sold at ; but it ig almost impossible to convince them that there is no probability whatever that the productions heretofore mentioned can ever regain the prices of the years 1830 to °34 and ’5, in consequence of the immense productions (coffee) of the Brazils, Saint Dominge, East Indies, and other places. I would, however, observe, ingregard to the cocoa raised along the coast, thal no other country ean produce, of equal quality, for its superiority is justly celebrated in Spain and France, and therefore this article, it may be reasonably presumed, will readily find a market and atfair prices, which must remunerate abun- dantly the planters of this valuable article. The agriculturists of thiscountry, with some ex- ceptions, in anticipation of large crops and higher es, since the establishment of the National nk (so denominated), unwisely partook freely of its tunds, hypothecated their estates or planta- tions to this institution and agencies, and subjec- ting themselves and th roperty to the rous effects of the special law of the 10th of April, 1884, which allows the privilege of stipulating in con- tracts, the most severe conditions imaginable (by mutual agreement of course), to take effect in case ot non-fulfillment, as provided in any document le- gally extended, to wit—the liberty to sell at public auction for cash the property of the delinquent debt- or the date and hour the note or obligation be- comes due. But, sir, I am sorry to say, that al- though it is the law of the land, rogues can ways find some way to evade it, and consequent- ly it very often happens that the poor creditor 18s condemned to suffer “‘ the financiers” to escape, or spend a fortune in procuring late and tardy jus- lee. A strict obeerver of passing even's in Venezuela, will undoubtedly find that the judicial affairs march most miserably indeed, and in many cases disgrace- tully, even under the eye of the supreme authori- ties of the Republic. This is to be imputed to the oversight of the appointing power, which often- times winks at and allows great irregularities, in preference to throwing out of emp oy a “ Com dre” or * Padrino.” Reform must come ere long in the judicial system, or even the natives will come disgusted with the present irregular and ob- scure laws of old Spain, Colombia united, Colom- anarchy, and Venezuela constituted ; all, all ances, decrees and laws are in‘ermingled; ni m inclined to believe that a Philadelphia lawyer with all his characteristic acuteness would not be able to disentangle the immense budget of lawa said to be actually in force, civil, military, and ec- clesiastical. {am happy to inform you that the respectable and “ knowing” young men of this city have establish. eda ‘Society of Mutual Instruction,” and are, 1 assure you, seriously progressing prodigiously in the fine arts and sciences; literature is the order of the day, judging from the “ pen driver's” effects in a weekly paper published at Valenci Puerto Cabello, under the auspices of the afore: said public institution, must advance infinitely in civilization. I would most respectfully call their atiention to the swarm of * Curacoa heathen” re- siding in this place. Gentlemen, lay violent hands upon them, and bring the poor deluded creatures to their senses, in virtue of the noble and true system of mutual instruction. Furthermore, you will be pl d to learn, that the Venezuelian Government has in contemplation the erection of a lighthouse at the entrance of our har- bor; of course we shall, as usual, a’ the action of the foreigners, who are obliged, in accordance with the good old eustom, to * poney up” the cash in advance, paying, nevertheless, six cents perton for every vessel entering the port. Hurrah, say we, tor a lighthouse forty years hence. It is a pleasure, an agreeable pleasure, to despatch vessels; the routine is particularly so; I have no hesitation in awarding to our captain of the port all the honors due to the office he holds, but permit me to say to the captain that he ought not to show ‘too much politeness” to those individuals who may require his official services, or God only knows whether, in an uohappy moment, they may feel induced to “fein” a real disgust, instead of gratefulness and false respect. To our Collector and Deputy Col- lector, we render our acknowledgments; they appear to be valuable officers, and gene- perally deport themselves well towards foreign- ers. However, you may rely upon it, that ia a doubtful case, where the interest of government and a merchant are concerned, the former inevita- bly obtains the preference, or rather gains the point. s Thank God, we are seon to experience the su- preme pleasure of a ride on the carriage road (in embryo) from this port to Valencia, What say you, Mr. Bennett, to this extraordinary announce- ment?
