NEW YORK HERALD. New Vork, Wednesday, April 17, 1844. More Tyler Movements. We perceive from a variety of proceedings pub- lished in the ‘‘Aurora”—the organ of the Tyler office holders in this city—that meetings were held in many of the wards on Monday evening last, at which resolutions were passed in favor of the annexation of Texas, and of Captain Tyler. Delegates were also elected on these occasions to swell the Mass Conventiva to be he!d here on the 25th inst. These meetings were got up privately and clandestinely, without a syllable of previous an- nonacement. Thus, the real friends of Captaia Tyler—the democratic mass friends of Captain Tyler, knew nothing of the existence of these meetings, and were of course shut out from attend- ing them, In fact, the meetings were got up by a particular clique, who wish to retain their present position in the Tyler movement in this city, and by that means to hold on to the offices which some of their friends possess We perceive among the names of those enumerated as Chairmen, Secre- turies, and other dignitaries ati those meetings, that George D. Strong is at the head of them, with an eloquent cotemporary, Louis Fitzgerald Tusis- tro—who is capable ot making by far the bert speech amongst the whole of them. This movement originates with the Pest office clique, and an offshoot trom the Custom House, comprising John L. Graham, Redwood Fisher, Mr. Towle, McKibbin, and their friends out of office, George D. Strong, and others. In fact, it is a movement of the old conservative clique, 0 which Mr. Webster felicitously said might be stowed away in a reasonnbly sized Broadway om- nibus. They are all very clever men—very. But somehow, from the connection of the leaders amongst them with exploded Trust Companies and Banking Institutions, the masses won't follow them. They are very capable of being good offi- cials, but they have no popularity. They never gan institute a real, smashing Tyler movement. They never can form the nucleus of an »bsolute Tyler party with strong faith and full hopes of car- rying half an electoral vote throughout the whole Union. In brief, the simple truth is, that this is merely a spasmodic effort—a sort of convulsive wriggling of some of the present office holders, to retain “‘the spoils,” and cannot avail them. Preparations are, however, now in progress by the bone and sinew of the democracy, particularly that branch of it which has been so completely de- molished by the “ Natives,” for the purpose of re- organizing a Tyler party here previous to the State Convention to be held in this city and the Van Buren Convention in Baltimore. We understand that the Jeading spirits of this movement are, first, Ex-Alderman Purdy--a strong man, iron to the back-bone—Ex-Alderman Shaler, another prodigi- ons granite block{of the democracy—Chas. G Ferris —Mr. Atwood—Gen. Arculanus, Eli Moore and many others of a similar etamp—all of them being raen who have been completely identified with the democratic party of Tammany Hall, and been great !eaders in all the important movements which have had their birth-place in that renowned strong- hold of democratic principles. The arrangement of which these preparations are the result, was made by Captain Bob Tyler, who induced all these orginally Van Buren men to come forth to aid this grand movement, and they are only awaiting the word of command at Washington—fully prepared to commence a general movement in every ward of this city, and to show that they can effect a Tyler organization out of the remnants and rags which have been left of the democrats by the “« Natives.” Anothor reason for the adoption of this new and excellent project, is, that as the ‘ natives” have earned she Corporation, the young democracy thereby defeated, must give up the spoils and flesh-pots dispensed at the City Hall, and seek their victuals somewhere ; and they aow sinell ihe kuehen strong towards the Cusiom House and Post Office. To secure these, Charles G. Ferris was nominated (Collector in the place ef Curtis—others will be nominated to fill the other places; and as soon as these nominations are made, the movement will take place here. This will be the real young democracy, with the stamp of Tyler upon it; and it will create a terrible division and disorganization in Tammany Hall, much greater than any yet that has been attempted. In the meantime the whigs in the Senate at ‘Washington don’t know their policy, if they do not immediately confirm Charles G. Ferris to the Col Jectorship of this port, and also all those other no- minations that remain to be made. If they cannot see this policy we can tell them distinctly, that the success of the present movement now commenced by Captain Bob Tyler, in New York, will do more todemoralize and disorganize he Van Buren party n this city and State than anything ever yet at- empted The young democracy favorable to Van Buren, being driven from the City Hall, are run- ning, smelling as they go, towards the Custom- house and Post Office, delighted with the savory odors which stream from the kitchen there, and ready to shout out ‘Tyler and Texas” tll they are black in the face, and hoarse as frogs, provided they can get anything to eat by it. If the whigs, therefore, in the Senate, should confirm Ferris, and all the others who may be nominated, we verily believe that it would be the greatest movement in favor of the election of Henry Clay, and tending to the utter disorganization of the Van Buren party in this city and State, that has yet taken place. Tue Frencn Ocean Sreamers —!t appears by out advices from France that there is yet a pros- pect of the establishment of a line of monster steam- ers to ran between France and America. In the Chamber of Deputies, on the 7th ult., ina debate on the “secret service money,” an inciden- tal conversation occurred relative to the Trans- Atlantic steam ships. It was announced that the government was waiting the arrival of the Gomer, now on a “cruize of examination and organiza- tion” before they fully made up their mind as to the course they would pursue. It was also an- nounced that certain parties had proposed to Go- vernment to enter into the ocean navigation enter- prize. This debate has left the project in doubt, but it has given us a chance to hope. In the whimsical movements ot Gaizot and his associates, there may happen that the line to New York will even- tually be established. They change with the wind, and asthe last turn of the vane wos against the enterprize, the next will of course be in its favor. Vaeccen Wixorr.—We are again compelled to delay the fresh extracts from this interesting jour- nal, already in type, which is occasioned by the pressure of the news. To-morrow at farthest, we think, we shall give them to our readers. We are also preparing a full and conclusive refu- tation of the attack made upon our honor, purity, and integrity of motives, as an editor and a man, | in the whole of our conduct towards Fanny Elesler during her brilliant career in this country. We will show on the most unquestionable evidence, (uot the recent gross attack, signed Henvy Wikoff, and published in the New York papers,was a tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end. We will show this on the evidence of numerous letters written by hunself and alse by several letters in French, writ- ten by Fanny Elssler, all the originals being now in our possession, We will show by his own con- fession, that Wikoff did quarrel with Fanay Els- sler—on their return to Europe, alleging that she wanted to “ marry him’—but thet he would, but wanted his freedom. We will show that he wrote a letter to us, dated in London, attacking her, and on finding that we suppressed it, he afterwards thanked us for doing so, and confessed his folly in making the attempi—both of which letters are now in our possession, in his own hindwriting — We will show that we never extorted money or any- thing else from Fanny Elssler, but that all that we did for her in our journal (and we certainly did much) were prompted by the kindest and most generous motives—admuration towards a great ay- tiste—and this we shall prove also by the letters of Wikoff and Fanny Elssler herself. All these facts and truths we will show by the evidence of that silly man, Wikoff himself, who is used asa ‘forlorn hope”—as the ‘ manager’s iast kick”—by the New York press, to accuse our honor and integrity—and also by the evidence of Fanny Elssler herself—evidence contained in the pages of these twenty original letters of the very parties—letters which we have very fortunately discovered during the last few days among our old papers. We shall, therefore, be ready in a few days to give a full and interesting exposé or journal of the career of Fanny Elssler in the United States and Europe—also a full and graphic view of the roman- tic, the philosophical and platonic connection be- tween her and Wikoff—also a beautiful descrip- tion of their love-quarrel and final separation—in all of which the gentleness, tact and goed feelings of Fanny Elssler will be strongly contrasted with the silly and ridiculous, though harmless conduct of Chevalier Wikoff. This memoir will embrace nearly twenty original Jetters, two-thirds of them by Wickoff, written in his best and most endearing style—and will be illustrated with maps, plans and engravings, ready to set the world ina big, broad ha!ha! It will be the most rare and the'richest jour- nal of Fanny Elssler that ever yet was published. Don’t be too impatient—it will be ready in a few days. InreRcoursk witn Boston.—It is stated on au- thority that on Monday next a daily day-light line is to be established between this city and Boston, The splendid steamer Rhode Island, Captain Thayer, of the Stonington Line, and the fine steamer Cleopatra, Captain Dustan, of the Norwich Line, will leave here on alternate mornings, at 9 o’clock, and their passengers will arrive in Boston at 7o’clock in the evening, or thereabouts. The cars will leave Boston at 6 o’clock in the morni: g, and arrive here at 7in the evening. The after- noon line is to run as at present. On the Ist of May there will be two daily lines of boats from New Haven to New York, one leav- ing in the middle of the day, and the other in the evening. The morning boats from this city will leave at 6 o’clock. There will also be an afternoon boat on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. These arrangements are excellent, and will keep up a constant end frequent intercourse with our aitisble little neighbors at the East. Ionoxen.—The many improvements that recent- ly have been made on this ferry must greatly in- crease the comfort of those who intend the coming season to visit this, the most pleasant and conve- nient of summer resorts. New slips and commo- dious ferry-boats have been erected at Barclay and at Canal streets. The ferry landings at Hoboken have been remodeled and enlarged. The steamer Passaic, the largest and swiftest ferry-boat that we know of, has been placed on the Barclay street ferry, in conjunction with the Hoboken. Those delightful grounds along the river side have been beautified by a new avenue of large elm trees that have been transplanted to that part of the walk fronting the village Church, which heretofore has been exposed to the sun. Our citizens who reside np town, will be pleased to hear that tre Christo- pher street boat is now running. These are just the arrangements that were wanting. “Going to Hoboken” will now become a pertect furor, and how eageily it will be resorted to and thronged by ill who are fond of a refreshing sail on the water, or a charming country walk. ‘THanks From France.—The fine packet ship Louis Philippe, Captain Rich, arrived yesterday ‘morning from Havre. She brought overa valu- able cargo of nearly two hundred happy steerage passengers—happy to step on a bit of free land, and breathe a little free republican air. We have received from her cabin passengers the following letter, which we publish with pleasure Packer Susp, Louis Pararre, April 16, 1844. Sin :— We, the cabin passengers of the packet ship Louis Philippe, take great pleasure In tendering you our thanks for your kind and polite attention to us during our late voyage from Havre, France, to the city of New York. can we forbear expressing our admiration of your skill and coolness, as asailor, more particularly as mani- tested during the severe gale with which we were visited on the 24, 3d and 4th instants, Your first mate, toe, Mr. Long, is certainly an accom. plished seaman; and as such commands our highest re- spect. cs hing you a long, useful and prosperous life, we are very respectfulty, Your obedient servants, Jous Boves, Joun Buvikr, Mapam Buvier, R. M, Tarot. To Captain Samust Ricu, Packet Ship Louis Philippe, lew York. These gifts,eometimes insincere thanks in words, and sometimes in silver plate, our experienced and gentlemanly packet captains are const .ntly receiv- ing. Great Revivat or Bustvess.—We understand, on pretty good authority, that the famous hair- dresser, Jem Grant, of Ann street, has secured the 14,000 flowers of the beautiful Magnolia in Brook- lyn, wherewitn he intends to manufacture 7000 bottles of the wonderful Magnolia wash. Land ho! We are, therefore, not without our hopes. Irautan Orera.—At last we are to have an Opera. The first representation of the Barbiere di Seviglia takes place on Wednesday next, the new company being now very busy at rehearsals, We are also to have La Sonnambula ind the Elixir d’ Amore The season will embrace twelve wights of these three operas, which will carry us into the begin- ning of June. The utmost harmony prevails in the new company. Borghese and Perozzi are ex- pected to-day from Phiiadelphia, to take part in the rehearsals. Thus commences the second season of the Opera, and with stu brighter prospects than the first, not- | withstanding the abdication of Valtellina, which appears to be very fortunate, as he carried with him all the bad humors which had disturbed the harmony of the last season. The subscription list already exceeds the former. ‘This is very encour- aging. But there is still greater encouragement in the vast number of strangers who will now be in the city, and maay of whom being persons of taste, will see as much of the Opera as possible. The terms on which the new company have been en- gaged are liberal and satisfactory to ‘all parties.— We have no doubt that a very abuodant harvest will crown this second seasoa of the Opera. Suc- cess toit! 7 we ought to cay, as David Hale says. Mustcay., &e.—Henry lussell was in Louisville on the 10th inst. His first concert was to take place on the’next night. Vieux-Temps was in Natchez on the 3d inst. He was drawing large and fashionable andiences. In New Orleans a gold medal was given tohim by the amateurs of that city. He was to go next to Vicks burg. Max Bohrer was inthe city of Mexico on the 21st of March. He was giving concerts with Don- na Francisca Atdos, a young Mexican songstress of much “ sweetness and naiveté” Signora Borghese gave a concert in Philadelphia on last evening. Macready was playing in St. Louis, on the Sth instant. Lite Signor Blitz was in Nashville on the 8th, but the law of that city would not let bim perform. Welch and his cireus were at Rio Janeiro at the Mons. Paul was there also, and last accounts, very sick Green Hovsk Prants.—Russell, the proprietor of Russell’s Garden aad Conservatory, Brooklyn, has a splendid collection of green house plants— his geraniums, dahlias and roses are particularly choice and healthy, His establishment is very well worth @ visit, Jounnat, Fanny Btssran, Wartren BY | | cent revolution in the pelitical character of New | York, by the victory of the “ natives,” or refor- | Mers, is a topic of great discussion throughout the | Rewspaper press of the whole country. Every print, and every body seem to bs astonished at the ‘event. Every one appears thunderstruck at the occurrence of such an extraordinary result, parti- cularly as the newspaper press of this city—that is, the party journals—gave no indication whatever that such a thundergust was approaching. The truth is, the newspaper press of New York, with a very few exceptions, were quite ignorant of the state of their own city, and the sentiments of that population of which they affect to be the organs. In the recent revolution, the newspapers attached te the democratic party conducted themselves with unparalleled folly and indiscretion. We allude par- | ticularly to the Evening Post and the Plebeian. | | Both of these journals have afforded sufficient | evidence to satisfy any reasonable man, of the utter | ineapacity of their editors and writers to conduct a | leading paper with any degree of tact, or even with sagacity enough to give their readers any indica- tion of the state and movements of the elements around them. There wasablundering futuity, and a ridiculous folly in the conduct of both these demeceratic organs which nothing can do away with, but the recent change and the consequent | withdrawal from them of all the spoils, leaving | them high and dry on their own resources here- after. ff The whig journals displayed the same ignorance and folly, in relation to this great movement. They did not appear to know that such a thing was stirring, until after the battle had been fought and won. Some of them even that pretend to great sagacitv and tact ~such as the Z'ribune—had the blundering folly to attempt to stem the torrent of revolution—a revolution which has been in pro- gress for more than two or three years. Two or three days before the election, the Courier and Enquirer came out and seemed to suppose that the “natives” would succeed, but the result of that election had been determined many days before it was announced at the polls. This revolution, in the distinct form in which it has been manifested, commenced in the spring of 1843, without newspapers—without an organ— without any public vehicle—without any of the usual machinery of party—without any communi- cation with the public through the press, except that of an advertisement. No one supposed it would amount thing. But every one was astonished when this party gave a vote of nearly 10,000 at the Fall election. Yet, even this great fact appeared to have been quite overlooked in the blundering folly and ignorance of the miser- able partizan politicians abouttown. We,however, at once discovered in this movement the long-look- ed for means of attaining city reform. And in or- der to place the whole plan of operations before the new party and before the public, we got up the fa- mous “American Republican meeting in American Republican Hall, between Broadway and the Bowery”—which was a piece of imagination, and intended to present, in a practical and intelligible form, the best mode of conducting the new agita- tion—the best plan of carrying on the canvas—and the topics which most properly invited the atten- tion of the speakers and leaders of the movement. And this succeeded admirably. The ground we thus pointed out, in a practical, and at the same time, a delicate and unobtrusive manner, was taken by the leaders of the movement, and the agitation went on from that hour with spirit and success. All the proceed- ings of the party were reported accordingly by us, and the public in this way kept regularly informed of the views, the purposes, and the progress of the reform party. It istrue that the Express and other papers blustered a good deal and cried out “for- gery”— forgery”—but that did not prevent our mode of presenting the true, tenable ground of the new party from producing the desired effect. Throughout the whole agitation, we gave it our aid. We expended several hundreds of dollars in reporting the meetings of the party. The Herald was the only paper that rendered this most essen- tial aid. It was the only journal which placed the points of the new revolution before the public, and recommended it to the community. The other journals either treated it with what was meant for silent contempt, or they threw cold water on it, or they ridiculed and misrepresented its leaders. But the movement went on Several weeks before the election, we published the important fact that there were then 23,000 pledged voters who would sup- port the American Republican ticket. No one ap- peared to pay attention to this, but the result has shown whether we were not correct. We are right then in saying that the New York Herald has done more to bring about this revolution than all the other papers in the city put together. And why have we given it our aid? Simply be- cause we want reform. We deprecate the violent religious prejudices of some members of the party, and we do not approve of its proscriptive ideas. But we have always recognised in this new party the means of obtaining city reforms. We want nothing from this party. We ask-no favor from them. We only ask that they will fulfil their pledges. We only want reform. We want nothing else. We care for nothing else. We have business enough of our own to occupy our attention. We have hitherto given our disinterested assistance to this party, and if they be faithful to their promises, they will con- tinue to receive that assistance. But if they neg lect their duty. and forget their solemn and reite- rated pledges, we shall oppose them with, if possible, still greater energy than that which has character. ized our efforts in their favor. ‘Theatrical Park Tueatre.—*‘A new way to pay old debts,” and “Fortunio,” a new extravaganza, were per- formed at this theatre last night. The lower boxes were all brimful, and the appearance of the audi- ence more fashionable than usual. Mr. Booth, as Sir Giles Overreach, is most capital, and he must | toil daily and nightly for years who should strive to equal! him in this his favorite character There is a clearness of annunciation, and a truthfulness about his acting, that cannot fail to carry an audi- ence with the actor throughout the whele of this piece. We trust it may be repeated, for it cannot be sufficiently appreciated in one night’s represen- tation. This piay was well put upon the stage, and Mr. Booth well supported by the whole cast. | Mrrenene’s Onyuei.—“Full measure, pressed | down and running over,” seems, if not expressed, at least to be the motto of this popular house. The | bill for this evening presents four favorite farces, which, individually, would suffice to raise votaries to Momus. We want no laughing gas so long as such a quartette as the Trip by Railroad, the New Footman, Hamlet Travestie, and Don Giovanni are presented in one night to the public. Truly, | Mitchell is an honest and liberal man, and we | trust has no occasion to regret the motto that “hos nesty is the best policy.” | Cuatnam.—As usual, this place of public amuse- ment 3 crowded last: evening The Love Chase” is an exciting and charming piece, and Mr. Gonnor and Mrs. McClure did it ample justice, the turmer in the character of Wildrake, the latter in that of Constance. We regret that our visit was too short last night to enlarge upon this particular play. Ole Bull is still at the Havana, playing very suc- cessfully to excellent houses. At, New Orleans, the opera of Norma was per- forming at the French Theatre with a good caste. In Ppilesieliia, at the Chesnut, Anna Boleyn, an. opera, loing well. Mrs, Seguin, as we hear, being sufficiently recovered to take her part. , On Friday a grand concert of the Philharmonic will be given in the same city, for which Wallace, among others, is engaged. Ninto’s.—The Olympic company go to Niblo’s this season, which willbe one of the most bril liant description. A paragraph in yesterday’s pa- ! per stated that Mitchell had taken Niblo’s theatre, but the fact simply is that Niblo has taken Miteh- | ell, and that they are swo of the greatest little men } in this hemisphere. ‘Triator Mansi ror Murper.—Thomas Marsh for the murder of Phosbe Cheddick is again on trial in Newark, and Pabrres.'fhe res Case or Anontion.—Coroner Rawson fesumed the in- vestigation yesterday afternoon relative to the cause of the decease of Eliza Ann Munson, of New Haven, who died at the house of the female physician, Mrs, Bird, 14 Oliver street, on Sunday night. It will be remembered tnat Madame Restell was arrested on the statements ofthe dying girl, that she had produced the abortion in Decem- ber last. The testimony given yesterday appears to put a vew aspect to the case, as will be seen by its perusal, The Coroner called Susan Deviiy, who was sworn, deposed as tollows:—I reside at 53 Nortolk street; 1 have known the deceased, Eliza Ann Munson, since the second week in January; she then came to my house to board, and left me three weeks since; she was adressmaker, and worked on gentleman's pants for a tailor named Penny. [Madame Restell here came into Court | Mr. Jonpaw said he appeared as counsei for Madame Restell, and wished to know whether the Coroner would allow her counsel the privilege of cross-examining the witnesses produced by him, and also to introduce testi- mony for his client. The Coroner steted that he should consent to a cross- examination of the witnesses by counsel fer Madame Res- tell, but the question of admission of testimony for defence would be hereafter considered Witness continued—The deceased worked on gentle- man’s coats and pants while at my house She was then in good health; she was not sick atany time; she looked like a healthy girl when she came to my house; I never saw her take any medicine while wt my house; she left my house to go to New Haven, as I supposed; I expected she would return in about ten days; | never saw her af- ter till [ saw her in the dead house, nor did I know where she was; ( think she isthe same person; I noticed a great change in her appearance, as she had wasted away re- markably; after March she did not appear tu be in as good spirits ax she had been lefore, as she said she expected somebody from New Haven; I never heard her make any complainta of the srate of her health. Cr. as-ezamined by Jordan for defence—She was at my house about nine weeks ; 1 did her washing for her, and never ciencaened any thing that led me to suppose she was sick, aTHA Horcnxrss called and sworn—I live at 224 Heuston street—I was acquainted with Eliza Ann Mun- won, the deceased, in New Haven some time before she came to live in New York—the first time I saw her here was in the second week of January—I saw here frequently after that time, as she worked in the same shop with me—she left about three weeks and three day@ ago—she had good health while at work in the shop, and I never heard her complain at all— three weeks ago she called upon me at the shop and said she waa going to New Haven. I have not seen her since, nor did I know where she was until | heard she was dead; | wrote a letter toher at New Haven, but received no swer, and thonght it was strange that I did not; I do not know of her having any sickness while in the shop with he now appears she has wasted away a great deal since I saw her; about the 1st of March ane appeared dis- appointed, as she said she expected a young man from New Haven, who had ipeaniee her marriage; she told me his uame was Frazer; ido not know hi but I saw him two yearsago at New Haven; decei uid she was in- duced to come to thie city by the young man spoken of, she said thete had beena great many stories in circulation about her in New Haven.and he advised her to come here; she did not state particularly what these stories were; | saw the letter I wrote to deceased to-day; her sister bionght it te her from New Haven. Cross-ecamined by Jonnax—I saw the deceased here in the second week of January last; I have been here since last October; deceased told me. when I first saw her, that she had been in New York once before. By Junon—She did not say for what purpose she had been here; she said the reason she did not callon me was bec she did not know my number. Miss Deviin was recalled by Mr. Jonvan-—I went to the house 18 Oliver street, recently occupied by Mra Bird, today; deceased had good clsthiing when she was at my house, and took it with her when she went away; I found none of her under clothes at this house; her other clothi was all there, except one dress; I took them to my honse; Twas told to take charge of her clothing to pay the ex- pense of her funeral. Dr James Sweeney called and eworn—I reside at 106 Bayard street; | am a physician; I have attended Eliza Ann Munson professionally; the firsttime I saw her was on the forenoon of the 29th of March, two weeks last Fri- day; I was sent for by Dr. James Wright, whose patient she was, to visit her with him; she was at No. 18 Oliver street, at Mrs, Bird’s; she had violent uteride hermorhage when I saw her. ‘The doctor here proceeded to give in detail his course of practice with her, and also stated that owing to the sudden illness of Dr. Wright, the whole care devolved up- onhim. There was but little attention paid to her at the house of Mrs. Bird, who left her to goto New Jersey with- outthe assistance of a nurse, or even a candle during the night, while she was absent. By due course of practice the placenta, or after birth, that had remained in her womb sincetthe abortion which is now supposed to have been produced at the house of Mrs. Bird, was removed, and she was in a fair way for recovery, when the imprudence of her sister and ason of Mrs Bird, giving her impreper food, brought on a relapse,which ended in death, He call ed in the aid of Dr. Oliff'and Dr Caldwell before she died, the latter ef whom advised notice being given to the Coro- ner on Sunday, when he first visited the deceased. ‘The doctor also stated that when Mrs. Bird returned from New Jersey she said that Madame Restell had operated upon deceased about Thanksgiving Day—this she said once in the presence of deceased, who confirmed it—deceared said she had taken oil of tanzy by Madame Restell’s direc- tion—she also said the operation was performed about Thanksgiving Day, which was onthe Mth of December, or in January last, and she had not seen a well day since. Mr. Jovan here objected to the entering of the state. ments of deceased, because she had not informed that she was dying previous to making the declaration. ‘Wirnrss continued—She said, she took the oil of tanzy two or three days before she came to Mrs. Birds ; mark that followed was, that she thought she had got rid of all her trouble by the operation in January ; she did not state for what purpose she took it Quxsriox—What is your opinion as to the diseases with she was afflicted 7 Axswen—I think in the first instance that the placenta was not removed after the abortion was produced : that inflammation of the wound then follow i rested under treatment, but returned by her taking im- proper food, and extended to the peritoneum, which final- ly caused her death The result of the post mortem ex amination confirmed this opinion az to the cause of her death. Thave been 22 years practising midwifery, and 1 never saw a case of abortion terminating fatally before. Violent means to produce abortion might present such a case as that of the deceased. —Inflammation would set in in about two or three days after an abortion was produced ; my opinion is that if an instrument had heen used to rupture the womb it would not have taken one half the time that this cate has for a delivery of the contents of the womb. ‘The pla- centa had not undergone that state of decomposition that I should have supposed it would if the abortion had taken place in December last ‘The anxiety evinced on the part of Mrs, Bird tomake me believe that Madame Restell ha committed the abortion that led to the state of disease in the body of deceased, induced me to think that Mra. Bird might have produced the abortion herself ; | did not ark her whether an operation hat heen performed there ; an abortion may have taken place in December. and another one been produced at a Jater period of time. Cross examined by Mr Jonoay—The son of Mra. Bird, as he is called, is here—that 1s standing there; if the abortion had taken place in December, three months hefore | was called to see the patient, I think the placenta would have been carried off long before it was—from the appearance of the placenta, the indication was that the abortion had taken place bnt afew days previous tothe time that T was called to see deceased—she did not tell me whether she was sick or well when she went to Mrs Birds nor what she went there for—Mirs. Bird was present at the conversation when the deceased said that the operation had been performed by Madame Restell—previous to this, while Mra Bird waa seated on the bedside of the deceased, Mrs Bird said that Madame Restell had performed the operation—I asked when it was—and the deceased said she could not tell precisely, but she believed it was about Thanksgiving Day,which was the l4th of December last— the deceased never referred to Madame Rests operating upon her, excep! once in the presence of Mra, Bird, and once in Dr. Caldwell’s presence. By Junon—I do not think that any woman could have heen well able to be about, as the deceased was, if the pla- centa had remained in the womb for three months. think Dr. Wright said that Dr Vanzant, of Eldridge st, called with a lawyer at the house of Mrs. Bird to make some enquiries relative to deceased before she was dead. ‘The Coroner here adjourned the case until this after- noon at 4 o'clock Surcior -On the 27th of March, Mr. Kdgar L Budd, furmerly a clerk in the store of Dibble & Bostwick. of this city, arrived nings’ Hotel in Courtlandt street, corner of Washington. He was engaged until Saturday last in the purchase of for his stove at Syracnae, and returned to his lodg- ings on Saturday evening as ‘usual He came down on Sunday morning and obtained some paper and ink and re- turned to his room. On Monday morning one of the chambermaids informed the bookkeeper that she could not make his bed. as his roam was locked. He replied that he was in the habit of taking the key of his room with him, and thought no more of the transac- tion.

No man ever had an affection of the lungs but it arose from Acrimonious Humors having settled there. No man ever had pain in the head or affection of the heart, but it was produced by the presence upon those parts of Mcrimonious Humors. So with Rheumatism—it is the Acrimonious Humors which have settled upen the membrane of the muscles. So with dysentery—the Acrimonious Humors have settled upon the mnctis membrane of the bowels, aggravated in most cases bythe retention of Hard Fecal matters in those impor- tant organs. There never was a pain or distress in any part of the body (unless it was produced by an accident) that was not occasione! by the presence of Acrid Humors. It is these humors which have to he expelled, and hy so do- ing the pain ordistress is sure to be removed. To do this with certainty, the Braxpreru Pits must be used They innocent as bread,yet all powerful as a remover of the cause of ess; may be taken at time of the day or night without alteration in ¢iet or fear of cold.
