New York, Friday, Aprit 19 1844. "ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP ACADIA. Half a Month Later. ‘This steamer was out fourteen days yesterday noon, and probably arrived at Boston before night. She will bring only halfa month later intelligence from Europe, having been dished out of a few days news by the arrival of the St. Nicholas yesterday afternoon and the Sheridan, the other day. We beg leave to assure the public, that we do not mean to have any Bartoox Exrness from Boston, on the arrival ofthe steamer, We leave such an enterprise entirely to our cotemporary of the New Fork Sun, who will issue an Extra immediately on the arrival of his balloon, and although he will forget to stick in the prices of cot- ton, he will take care to stick it into the rascally news- boys. ‘The Newspaper War of the New York Press against the New York Herald. For several months past, and particularly since our return from Europe, we have been expecting a fresh eruption of the newspaper press of this city against the New York Herald, on some pretence or another. The progress we have made during the last few months in various matters connected with public affairs—the energy with which our estab- lishment has been condueted in all its departments —the numerous humiliating “ beats” which we have given our cotemporaries, in all matters of euterprise—have certainly been sufficient reasons for our rivals to hate us with a perfect hatred, and to grasp with all the frenzied eagerness of jealousy and revenge at every straw, which, to their blood- shot vision, might present the means of impeding that progress and setting bounds to that enterprise. For five or six years this war has raged with more or less fury—now smouldering in the ashes of de- feat—and anon fanned into a fresh and more his ing blaze, as some evidence of our triumphant pro- gress, more striking and convincing than that which had gone before, presented itself to the pub- lic eye, and brought to us, the reward of successful enterprise and labor. At one time, the war has been conducted with all the agonized energy of despair, and at anoiher with all the impotent ab- surdity of farce. The last onslaught has been so completely farcical—so supremely ridiculous—so amusingly insignificant, that we think, before we get through with the campaign,we will wring out of it materials enough for a dozen reasonably length- ened farces, equal to any that ever emanated from the pen of Planche. Instead of mounting the big war-horse of the *«moral wars” of former years, our highly respect- able cotemporaries have caught astray donkey, and bestriding him, come forth to the world, arm- ed and accoutred like Pantaloon, or a “mock che- valier,” determined to destroy and put down for ever the New York Herald. The personage who has thus borne our antagonists into the lists, is Hen- ty Wikoff by name, and during the last few days the New York press have given to the world some of his precious revelations connected with Fanny Elssler, and various other parties, for all which we shall make the prieux chevalier most sincerely re- pentant before we have done with him. We have, as we have already stated, been preparing a full account of Fanny Elssler’s career in this country, illustrated by the letters, and documents, and pa- pers, of this self-same Chevalier Wikoff; but as there are still some papers remaining, for which we are searching, these delightful memoirs, and still more delectable snatches of autobiography, must be delayed for a few days longer. In the meantime, we have a few words to say in refer- ence to anarticle which we find in the Express, purporting to be extracts from a recent revelation made by this chevalier, whose business appears to be to pry into the wardrobe of females, and inspect the centents of a lady’s dressing case—a business which, it is to be presumed, must be admirably con- sistent with the quality of his honor, and the range of his capacious intellect. Here are the extracts from the Express, and we believe they have beep endorsed also by that finished gentleman, indus- trious editor, and incorruptible patriot—Mr. Charles King of the American :— But to continue. He he saw Fanny Elssler in London last summer. It is true; but only to levy more “black mail” upen her. th he and his wife apse called on her, and their vi were most anxio' avoid. ed by Mile. Elssler, so far as her womanieh terror of this man’s well _knewn malignity allowed; but their object was to obtain from her boxes at the Italian Opera, and though they were selling at six and seven guineas, and for which Mlle. Elssler was obliged to make compensa tion, they exacted them from her every night of their stay in London, They were very anxious to associate wit! Mile Elssier, and begged her to dine with them at their hotel, but she leclined pointedly the honor, * * * Twilladd another fact in illustration of his aystem. I took pains to induce Mr. Macready to call on Bennett, in London, hoping to preserve this ‘distinguished tragedian from hi lity. With great reluctence Mr. Ma- cready did so, and Bennett, having a prospect of “black mail” dawning upon him, wrote instantly to his men here, whom he treats as serfs, without consciences, to “puff Macready!” Hearing a few duys afterwards that the tragedian had given a party to some distinguished friends, and not invited him or wife, he directly wrote again to his friend “to stop the puffs;” and since then he has annoyed this gentleman as much ashe could, 1 will prove this by his bookeeper, and others. HENRY WIKOFF, We shall dispose of these matters very easily, and in the order in which they are mentioned And first, of the dinner to which we invited Fanny Elssler at Long’s Hotel in London, and which she declined. Now, it appears that this very dinner was suggested to us by this very Chevalier Wikoff, and pressed again and again by him—why? Why in order to furnish him with an opportunity of re- instating himself in the good graces of Md’lle. Fan- ny! He had offended her very much soon after his return to Europe, and as soon as he discovered that we were at Long’s Hotel, which was forty- eight hours after our arrival, he made his appear- ance, and day after day his visits were repeated, his continual object being the discovery of some mode by which he could regain the favor of Md’lle. Fanny, and the invitation to dine with os, was the plan which he suggested Well, without any disposition to disoblige any person, and thinking there was no great harm in the matter, Md’lle Fanny was, we believe, invited to a dinner, and accepted the invi- tation, but when she found that her former Cheva. lier was also to be a guest, she declined, politely assigning as an apology, the extreme fatigue of get- ting up some new opera, Fanny fre quently expres- sed in conversation her opinion of the Chevalier, by the laconic, but sufficiently significant phrase— “He's amean man”—to which her cousin added with more emphasis—“Wikoff is a very mean man, indeed.” I believe that on the very day on which Fanny was invited to this dinner Mrs. 1. and I had received an invitation todine with Mr. MacGregor the Seeretary of the Board of Trade in London, and in order to gratify the desire of the Chevalier, Mrs. B. was persuaded to decline that invitation, leaving me to go, which I did, and found, as the guests of Mr. MacGregor, several members of Par- liament, and gentlemen from the United States.— Mr. MacGregor, we may add, is one of the most eminent political economists in great Britain, and the author of the tariff law introduced by Sir Ro- bert Peel. This is the whole story about that fa- mous dinner. Ridiculous gossip, to be sure, yet forming the gravamen of the charge of black mail urged by the gentlemanly editors of New York againstus. Sul, asthe whole story is laughable enough—and besides putting the Chevalier in the proper position, affords the public another sample of the “facts” on which our rivals attempt to de- stroy our reputation—we have thought proper to give it. Then, again, with regard to the boxes at the Ita- lian Opera. To this charge, we plead guilty, We did receive boxes for the Italian Opera during the few days we remained in London, although not for “ every night.” Fanny Elssler out of her own promptings, sent them without any request on our part. But what is still more interesting in the case, in the fact that this very Chevalier availed himselt could, and it was on one of these occasions that he was first introduced to Duff Green, connected with whom we have yet a very amusing story to | give. But to show the folly of thus attempting out | of an opera box to manufacture gross charges | against us, and to show also that we regarded the | thing just as it was intended, a mere compliment, | itis only necessary to say, that as soon as it was known that we had arrived in London, we had | free admission to several of the theatres. Madame | Celeste was at the Haymarket, and she, as well as the manager of that theatre, sent us free admissions, without any solicitation Tickets were sent us from the Surry theatre, and if we recollect aright, the manager of the Princes’ theatre, although to him we were personally unknown, sent us a free ticket during our stay inLondon. And Mr.Maywood, of the Strand, did the same, as I find in the follow- ing polite note which I still retain :— Sraanp Tuxarnx, Aug. Ist. My Dear Sin,— It was only yesterday afternoon that I was aware of your being in London; but I have seized the first moment to pay my respects, and allow me to say that there is a private box in my ‘little band box at your own and Mrs. ennett’s service, whenever you may please to honor us with your presence. Your name is a passport; and, with respectful regards to Mrs. Bennett, T remain, Yours, most trul ROBT. CAMPBELL MAYWOOD. J. Gonvon Brxnerr, Esq. So much for this species of black mail. ‘Then, with respect to Mr. Macready and his din- ner. This, I think, is the funniest piece of impu- dence of all. During our stay in London, the Chevalier Wikoff was at our hotel al- most every day, proposing this, suggesting that, and offering his opinion on some other things in relation to various small affairs. Amongst other things, he proposed to me one day that I should call on Mr. Macready, whose in- tended tour in this country had been then an- nounced. I replied that I did not see the necessity of my calling on that gentleman, and that I would rather decline doing so. Wikoff repeatedly urged me to do so, however, afterwards, but I invariably declined. At last this Chevalier informed me that Mr. Macready intended calling upon me at two o’clock on a certain day which he designated. Of course I expressed my willingness to see Mr. Ma- cready if he called upon me, and to communicate any information which he might desire, and which it was in my power to afford, respecting the state of theatricals in the United States. Accordingly, on the next day, I think it was, Mr.Macready, in com- pany with the Chevalier, called upon me. After being intreduced, Mr. Macready entered into con- versation with me respecting his intended theatri- cal tour inthe United States, inquiriug into the state and prospects of the country, what the theatres were doing, and the general prosperity of that de- partment of the drama with which he was con- nected. I stated in reply that the legitimate drama, owing partly to a change in the publictaste and the deranged financial condition of the country,wasthen in a low state; butstill, that as there was no repre- sentative of the high order of the drama, except Mr. Forrest, who was not a novelty, as he had forseveral years been all over the country, and as the business prospects of the country were reviving, I thought there wasa very favorable opportunity offered to Mr. Macready. Mr. Macready expressed great gratifi- cation at receiving this intelligence, and after some unimportant remarks, he took his leave. This was the first and only occasion in which I have seen Mr. Macready in private. Soon after this inter view, I left London, on a visit to Ireland and Scot- land. On my return to London, on our way to Paris, the Chevalier called at our Hotel in his usual style, talking, fawning, flattering, fiddling and cottoning. He stated that he had learned from a lady of his acquaintance, that Mr. Macready had sent out in- vitations to a farewell-dinner party or soirée, and that he (Wikofl) was very much surprised that he had notreceived one, adding that Mr. Macready ought certainly to have included Mrs. B. and my- self,as he had understood that it was so intended before we left for Scotland. I replied that it was a matter of no consequence whatever. That if we had received an invitation, it was probable that it could not have been accepted, as we had made arrangements to leave for Paris in a day or two. Notwithstanding this reply, Wikoff continued to harp on the neglect which had been put upon him by not receiving an invitation, and assigning as the probable reason, the influence of the coterie which formed the society of Mr. Macready, and which, as he had understood,was composed chiefly of Dickens and other literary men connected with the Forergn Quarterly and other periodicals in London. This connection, Wikoff said, might, if it were known, affect Mr. Macready’s success in the United States—thus evidently suggesting an attack on that gentleman. And here, finding that Wikoff was thus disposed towards Mr. Macready, and aware that he was in corres- pondence with the office of the Herald, and might write something prejudicial to Mr. Macready, I wrote immediately to those whom I had left in charge of the paper in my absence, to refrain from saying anything farther about Mr. Macready until my return to the United States. This is the whole story, and all the facts. It shows, as in a mirror, the meanness of this creature, Wikoff, who falsely attri- butes to me the petty, sneaking maliciousness which he himselmanifesied, because, forsooth, Mr.Macrea- dy did not invite him to his dinner. As to the treat- ment which Mr. Macready has received from this journal, its columns afford the evidence that it has been just and honorable, before and since his arri- val in the United States. It will thas be seen of what flimsy and ridiculous materials our respectable cotemporaries are endea- voring to elaborate the proot of crimes, by whose allegation they hope to injure our reputation and popularity. But itis all in vain. We defy them to put their finger upon one solitary act, ina life of twenty-five years, that they can, even by implica- tion, construct into the levying of black mail as they call it. The absurdities and ludicrous m representations of this donkey—for the harmless creature, Wikoff, does not deserve a harsher name—will only cover them with more contempt than ever has any thing they have attempted. In a few days we shall be ready with our full expo- sion of the career of Fanny Elssler in this country, and if itdo not satisfy the highly respectable and honorable New Yerk editors, of the character and reputation of their witness, their Chevalier, or their donkey, just as they please—why, then we will, forever after, religiously believe that a donkey has more wisdom than King Solomon, and that in spite of all Fanny Elssler may say to the contrary, a “moek chevalier” is not “a mean man—a very mean man indeed.” Jenyns on “ Love” at the Stuyvesant Insti. tute last evening. An old fellow by the name of Ovid, as every boarding-scheol miss, and downy-cheeked ad knows, wrote a good many centuries ago a very philosophical treatise whic he called the “ Art of Love.” But it was rather a so so aff and the world has made wonderful discoveries sine, and much accordingly “ remains unsung.” We are not, however, to remain altogether uninformed on the subject. ‘The mantle has fallen upon ano- ther, and ** Mr. Jenyns” has taken up the subject. Mr. Jenyns last night, at 8 o'clock exactly, deliver- ed a lecture on “Love,” and it is not without some litte regret that, as the discourse was ine tended for the benefit of the whole world, (which has so long been “ going round” and whirling about, and skipping upside down with this “ Love,”) the whole world did not attend. The fecture was so profound, philosophical cal, inspiring, metaphysical, quizzical, pathetic, and indescnbably affecting, that we can’t tor the lite of us report a single paragraph. As, however, itis to be repeated, we may next time give some pas- sages of it to immertality. As for Jenyns, hintecli, he is a perfect Adonis Six feet high—graceful and robust—an eye “ like Mars to threaten and command” and a moustache which beats Doctor Van Cort’s all to pieces, Jen- yns is just the man to lecture on ‘ Love,” and > poeti- draw audiences of the “dear sex” as overflowin; and as angelic as the most comely young “revival” preacher trom Dan to Beersheba. Jenyns must give us more Cr. VERY LATE FROM EUROPE, RIGHLY IMPORTANT News. Trouble on the Continent-«Movements in Cotton, ete., ete., ete. That fine packet ship, the St. Nicholas, Capt. Pell, arrived yesterday in exactly one month’s pas- sage from Havre. She sailed on the 18th ult.

The news car- | ried out by the Hibernia knocked down prices in | Liverpool 4 of apenny, and in Havre 1 a2 cen- | times. Three thousand bales were sold in Liver- | pool on the Mth, and the speculators were in the | dumps. Troubles are spreading over the whole of Eu- rope. A row here, an émeute there, and revolutions everywhere. According to all accounts Europe will be in a blaze in a short times We can believe nothing coming from Spain, ac- counts are so conflicting. Christina is there and also constant fights and bloodshed. The French and English Ambassadors at Con- stantinople had demanded their passports. This is a beginning. Nothing new in the British Parliament. We find no news of the French ocean steam ships. Vice Admiral Harvelin will leave France for Ta- hiti early in April. Another sign in the aspect of French affairs is the triumphant entrée of M. Berryer in France, on his return from a visit to the Duke de Bordeaux. Allthe French Bishops and the University are arrayed against the government. The rebels in Portngal have taken refuge in the province of Almeida, where they defy their ene- mies ‘They are more numerous than stated in the official papers.

From anofficial document just published at Co- penhagen, it appears that the total number of ships that passed through the Sound during the last year was 14,940. Of these, 3518 were English, 2597 Prussian, 4387 Danish, 726 Russian, 170 French, and 132 American. The total number during 1842 was 13,952. . The report of the Committee on the Secret Ser- vice Money Bill, in the French Chamber of Depu- ties, Was presented on the 12th ult. The Commit- tee recommends the adoption of the bill presented by the government, and depreeates any discussion on a vote of confidence, that question, it remarks, having already more than once been decided this session. The New Patente Bill was adopted by a majority of 209 to 60. M. Guizot has stated officially that the Rev. Mr. Prichard has been recalled by the British govern- ment. Messrs.

Commerce anp Trape.—The latest letters from America throw no additional light on the prospects of the cotton crop. According to the latest returns which we have seen, the receipts at the ports in the present, and at the corresponding period of the last year, were the fellowing:—1844, 1,020,374; 1843, 1,337,184. We understand that the fur trade re- cently has been rather brisk, and that a gooddea! | isdoing in North American skins, chiefly New- foundland and Canadian. This, together with an | apparent improvement in the timber trade, will be | good news for the colonists. The Liverpool cotton | market has seen several unusually dull days—the | sales on one oecasion amounting but to a thousand bales, at heavy though not lower prices. The amount of sale has slightly increased.

General Narvaez accompa- nied them a short distance, and then returned to place himself at the head of the regiment of caval- ry which was to march to Aranjuez, and serve as the guard of honor. The Queen was loudly eheer- ed by the populace, and itis stated that all the accounts received in Madrid of the progress of Queen Christina concur in describing her recep- tion as full of enthusiasm. The Patrie says, it was reported yesterday that the government had received a telegraph dispatch announcing that Bonet, the chiet of the insurrection at Alicant, had been made prisoner by the Queen’s troops, and immediately shot. It was also stated that Queen Christina had arrived at Valencia. At | Madrid, a marriage between General Prim and the sister of M. Munoz, the Morganatic husband of hd Christina, was spoken of as to take place shortly. The Madrid journals of the 8th, which arrived | Sardinia. The Quotidienne has the following on the dis- pute between the Sardinian Government and the Bey of ‘Tunis:—“The King of Sardinia is preparing an expedition against Tunis, the Bey having vio- lated the treaties which bound him, and refused that reparation which the laws of nations require for every such infraction. The enclne nieey, it is said, has offered its mediation, which the Cabi- net of Turinhasrefused. We can well comprehend this refusal. The King Charles Albert cares little, no doubt, to come under an obligation to the Go- vernment of July in an affair which he is able to bring to a satisfactory conclusion without the in- terference of any one. The Porte, on its side, is inclined to expan the reprisals which the King is justly entitled to make. It remembers the expe- dition against, Algiers, and_ is afraid that another power may in its turn get a footing in the States of Barbary. The goletta is sufficiently fortified to detend Tunis on that side; but the city itseli has only a double circle of weak walls, supported by a few old fortifications, inadequate to resist a serious attack from an European army. ‘The resistance of the Bey may not be followed by the fall of the Go- vernment and a conquest of the country, as at Al- giers; because Sardinia is not France, and is un- able to make her will prevail against that of the other powers, who would interpose to prevent a subjugation; but this resistance would end in a ca- pitulanon, founded on a complete redress of the grievances of Sardinia, with an ample indemnity. This would be for the Sardinian army one ot those rare opportunities for winning glory which a small warlike state never fails to seize; and we repeat that King Charles Albert, if Sidi Achmet drives him to it, will not let pass this opportunity.”” We read ina letter fre Seyrout of the 15th ult: “ The ex-Pacha of Jerusalem, Reschid, who was deprived of his office for having insulted the French flag, has just arrived here to take shipping for Con- stantinople. He is iccompamed the four per- sons who were most active in exciting the popu- lace to attack the house of the Consul. On enter- ing Jaffa he was received by the Turkish authori- ties and the people with great ceremony. The guns of the fort were fired; all the principal per- sonages of the town went to visit him, and loaded him with compliments. At Beyrout, however, his treatinent was very different. ‘The guns remained silent; Assad Pacha did not go out of his palace to meet the late Governor of Jerusalem; the other Turkish authorities imitated his example, and the population, with the exception of a very few. be- levers, sworn enemies to the Christians, remained perfectly unmoved. Reschid, excessively annoy- ed at this want of respect for his rank and title, made his complaints to Assad Pacha, threatening him with the anger of the Grand Visir as soon as he should have arrived at Constantinople and made known his conduct. Assad Pacha made the best excuses he was able, He had, in fact, only obey- ed the injunctions of the French Consul, as he haz done before on many occasions, and at the same time thought it right to protest with energy against the demonstrations which were caleulated to humi- liate that functionary before the pride of the Turk. The Consul, M. Bouree, has proved himself to be a man of ability and firmness, and this has made the spite of Reschid Pacha still more inveterate. — mal the Europeans went to congratulate the Con- sul.” Markets.

A-—I decline answering, as it may implicate myself. Q—To whom was it paid, and how much was the sum? A.—I won't tell. My brother is now in ark; he was here the first night this court met; he is ver pla- ter, and has recently set up business for himselfat New- ark; he is about 22'years of age, and unmarried; he de- nies that he ever agreed to marry deceased; he admitted that he had had illicit intercourse with deceased at No Haven, ile she lived there in the same house; he said she said she was pregnant by him; I saw him this morn- ing. NCvess-ccamined ty Jonvax for defence—The deceased was in apparent good health when I saw her here in this city, about five weeks since. By Junon.—Q—We should like to know whether de- ceased or your brother ever said any thing about any pre- vious abortion produced in November or December last ? Mr. Jonpan objected, as the question referred to her si- tuation long previous to her decease, and. was, therefore, irrelevant and he advised the witness net to answer it. ‘The Cononex admitted the question and the witness de- clined to answer it. Q—Did you’see thedeceased in New York in December lest, or did she tell you she was here? A—I refuse to anawer. Puittirs—If the witness refuses to answer the question, I shall move for his commitment.

[Notwithstanding that the testimony from the com- mencement of this investigation has shown most conclu- sively that James Frazee, the seducer of the deceased girl, was the active agent in producing the abortion at Mra. Bird’s, yet Coroner Rawson had taken no measures to procure his arrest up to the close of the examination last evening, although his brother testifies that he was at Newark yesterday ] Dr. Jonn ©. Perens called and sworn--I am a physician and reside at 669 Broadway; I made a post mortem exami- nation of deceased. Drs. Gilman and Archer were present at a portion of the examination—there were no marks of external violence on the body, nor appearance of disease upon the brain or its membranes, except that they were unusually blanched, and an effusion of half an ounce of clear serum ut the base of the brain; there were no signs of old or recent disease of the lungs; the heart,was healthy the liver was enlarged, and adherent to the walls of the abdomen. and its texture pale and soft; otherwise healthy ; theswhole substance of the stomach was blanched ; the large intestines were very much extended, and in a state of chronic inflammation—an abscess was discovered by Dr. Gilman, between the rectum and uterus, that con- tained half a pint of puss, the uterus was enlarged to near- ly twice its natural size—the small intestines were at- tached to the uterus and detached with difficulty— there was no mark ofinjury about the uterns—the general con- clusions form bppearay cesirere that she had been recently pregnant—the blanched appearance of the brain and intes- tines must have been caused by loss of blood by hermorr- hage or from chronic disease—some of the adhesions of the intestines may have been produced by inflammetion of from two to four weeks standing ; any inflammation of the intestines would produce this result even if not con- nected with the affection of the uterus—the adhesions of the liver appeared to be of from two to four weeks stand- ing—all the appearances of the intestines are common in recent cases of inflammation of the peritoneum ; the ab- scee# may have been caused by recent inflammation, or may have been of long standing ; it may have been caused by abortion or by various diseases of the body ; she had “been recently delivered of a fetus, but whether natural or by violence, I could not say ; if the abortion had been produced in December the point of attachment of the pla: centa would have presented a different appearance ; | think an abortion had been produced about for weeks be- fore her death. The operatien of abortion, skilfully per- formed,'would leave no marks of violence upon the uterus. The abscess was not the cause of her death, although it may have hastened it. Q—From the observation of the post mortem examina. tion, what is your opinion as to the immediate cause of the death of deceased ? A—There were many evidences of the loss of blood which may have followed an abortion recently produced ; that with the peritonetus, or offection of the bowels, I be lieve to have been the immediate cause of her death. | think fie loss of blood by hemorrhage was at a recent period. The testimony of Dr. Peters, who is a young man, was given in aclear and concise manner—evincing uncommon skill and study, on his part, in the mystery of the human frame. The jury re d at 2 o’clock and remained out until half 3, when they came in and returned the follow- ing verdict :— “That Eliza Ann Munson’s illness was caused by inju- ries arising from an abortion produced by violent meane upon her person, by Margarct Dawson, alias Mrs. Bird, and by subsequent neglect, to which Frances Kowing was accessory after the fact at least, and that during the investigation, the said Eliza Ann Munson died thereof” Jonas B.

Another cause is, the small quantity of cotton shipped, compared with previous years. ‘This reduces the balance of trade in our favor, and curtails credits abroad, Another cause of the high quotations, is the speculation going on in bills among the brokers.
