OF all the numerous correspondents of the Herald, J believe this will be the first from the venerable mother of cities in the new world; a city which should indeed be venerated, being the first founded on this continent. {ts founder, Gonzalo Ocampo, here commenced the good work in the year 1520. The city was commenced about three leagues to the north of its preseut site, and a magnificent for was there erected,which still remains, deserted ; & little to the north of the fert, on the rising ground, stands the firet arch of the tower of the firet church ever erected this side the water, at least since Christopher Columbus made his discoveries ; 4t stands alone on a barren and forsaken spot. | lingered for hours contemplating this ancient ruin, and was struck with melancholly awe at beholding the remnant of the first temple erected to the living God on this vast continent, and not the least pains are taken to preserve this venerable relic ; in fact, scarce a person in this city knew of its existenc Cumana was removed from the spot above de- scribed soon after it was commenced to be built, owing to the want of water, which the place is destitute of, and planted on the limped river Man- zanara, three-fourths of a mile from its mouth. The city betorethe revolution which first broke out here, contained abont thirty thousand inhabi- tants; it now only numbers eight thousand souls, seattered over a plain and divided by the river abeve described, and connected by ‘a wooden bridge three hundred feet between the butments, and supported by wooden posts thirty feet above the water; this venerable wooden bridge is said to be one hundred years old, entirely exposed to the weather, but as sound as the day it was erected ; the flooring planks only have been re- newed ; in the centre ot the bridge, on either side, projects a platiorm or gallery with seats, ou which polities are discussed every evening. The Ca EBON | EaRS) occupy one side, and the Libe- rales (locofocos) the other. Politics here are carried to an alarming pitch. The election is over and resulted in favor of the Cristianos by a RORY of two votes—the votes are taken viva voce, and the polls were open eight days according to law; the churches were designa- ted as the places of voting, fearing an outbreak; and it was supposed the churches would be re- pected. Processions every night—fireworks and songs. ** Tippecanoe and Tyler too” were entirely eclipsed in song singing, and some twenty days were exhausted in counting the votes by the city council. Thus, about one month in twelve is ex- clusively devoted to politics, by every class of so- ciety ; the ladies, however, are the most invete- rate politicians; their whole theme of conversation has been on the result of the election. How is it possible that such a country can thrive? And is it to be wondered at, this city being reduced trom its former prosperity and wealth to abject poverty. Every free man, over twenty-five years old, is aid gible to the elective franchise, except felons or persons who have been convicted of infamous crimes, or bankrupts who are unable to pay their debts. Bankrupts are, therefore, placed on a par with criminals, because it deems it criminal to squander away the property of another person, Ihe province of Gitnana, of which this city is the capital, extends 200 miles from east to west, and nearly the same from north to south, and 1s di- vided into nine cantons, with a population of 68,000; it sends two Senatorsand three representa- tives to Congress; it has every diversity ot so very fertile, but from the indolence ot the inhabi- tants, they are indignant, and but few enjoy the common comforts of life. There are two classes, the Caballeros and Peones; the former are above work and exist in poverty, the latter are contented to exist in poverty and seldom rise above the sphere nature destined them to fill. The Caballere dis- dains to bring up his son to be an artizan, because it would be degrading, and the Peon has not the opportunity or ability to study the mechanical pro- fessions. Every child that is not sans culottes is admitted into the free schools, and there are but few of either sex who cannot read and write, and in the country they are taught by their mother, or an elder sister, who has received some education, The laws are generally excellent, but frequently badly administered. It requires two witnesses to prove a crime or a debt, but the proceedingsare simple ; to recover payment of a debt, the account or note is filed with the clerk of the court; he issues summons to the party defendant to appear the following day; when the parties meet, the Jucge endeavors to effect a settlement between them, but if they are obstinate, he directs each party to produce the names of three persons to act as arbitrators; each party then ci.ooses one name from the list of his opponent, and those two form the court with the judge to try the cause; witnesses may be called and examined by either party from day to day before the judge, and the clerk takes the testimony down in writ- ing. When completed, the judge cites the two arbi- trators, and they pronounce sentence. The de- fendant, if he is adjudged to pay, is allowed three days before execution issues egainst his property and person. Where a law only affects two persons, they may obviate the law by any agree- meat between themselves, leaving them free agents, without the arbitrary. interference of the law. For instance, the legal interest by law is 12 percent, but the parties may agree upon 12 per cent per month, if they choose, and can recover, because it does not effect a third party. No per- son is admitted as a witness in a civil cause with- in the fourth degree of relationship, and no person of like affinity 1s compelled to give evidence in any criminal suit Wiinesses are not sworn either upon the Bible or cross, nor is any form of oath ad- ministered in courts of justice. The judge asks the witness if he will speak the truth, and he nods consent, thus acting upon the just principal that if a witness will tell a lie, he will swear to it. Every canton has its courts; the Alcalde or Judge is elected by the people of the canton year- ly. ‘There are also three circuits in Migdl ad ahead but neither of the judges are lawyers. ‘The supe- rior court, or court of appeal, holden in this capital, is composed ot three Judges, who are lawyers, and from them there is an appeal to the supreme court of the nation, consisting of five judges.— There are five lawyers in this city, but none others in the province. These five do more injury, and create more suffering, itis said, than is derived from every other source. They prey uponthe ve- ry vitals of their victims. How, then, can your city survive with six hundred such vampires ?— The jail of this city is the only one in the province, and 1s State prison, debtors’ prison, and lunatic asy- lum. It has eleven inmates for crimes of every description, four of which have not yet had their trials, and the above number includes one insane person. The prisoners draw fitteen cents daily in money, and feed themselves. The prison itself is a litde more comfortable than the best dwellings in this city; facing on the public square, the win- dows are large, and reach to within three feet of the side walk, the apertures between the iron bars being 6 by 9 inches; the prisoners in large airy front parlors, amuse themselves with cards, dice, &e.— They have a spasious yard to walk in, and their friends can callatail hours of the day without in- terruption. ‘The only distinction made is, the gentle. men occupy one parlor, and the laboring men the other, with a guard of six soldiers to atiead them, Situated onthe bank of the beautifal gulf of Caviaco, three fourths of amile from the city, is a neat little buildiag, exclusively for leprosy persons of both sexes. There are many persone there af- flicted with this most loathsome and incurable die- ease, who linger and are consumed by degrees. am told that love enters this abode, and that mi ringes ate here contracted between the inmates, and though banished from their friends and an intercourse with the world, they still find enjoy- ments. This dreadful disease is said to add great- ly to the amorous te ra of the afflicted. Not one is licensed to kill scientifically; they are all bunglars. The poor patients cannot die secundum artem in this ancient city. Of amusements there are none whatever. A mail is despatched once in fifteen days, east, west, north and south. The highest rate of pos- tege to any part of the republic, is twenty cents, not exceeding half an ounce, and in proportion for all letiers and packagre—uewapapers and pamph lets free, foreign and domestic. The mail is not transported by railroads or steamboats, but on the back of a man, in frock and trowsers, baretooted— and a miss-carringe is never known. The mail ix thus transported atthe rate of 40 miles per diem, over mountains and plains. ‘ i The head quarters of the oriental division of the army of Venezuela, is stationed here. The men look very well, andare in uniform. Officers and men, all told, nurmber exactly sixteen men. | at tended a grand review of these veterans by the General of Division in falldress, a few days since. They are a very useful set of men, and regular as atownclock., The sentinel strikes the hour and lllloeeeaaeaeESOSSSS half hour on a large bell, day and night, without intermission. The clergy are as reapectable a set of fellows as you will meet with any where. [don’t hearmuch spout pareatony now. The delusion has about ex- ploded in all Catholic countries, except with the Trish. The Protestant Bible, in Spanish, from the English Bible Society, isin almost every house, and without hindrance of the clergy. As ail are Roman Catholics here, they can’t turn the Bible to politigal uses, or to turn the school fand from its legitimate channel. The Irish have themselves drawu a national distinction in New York, and why, theu, complain of the Native Americans? he clergy are elected to Congress, and the a Bishop is a member of the Executive Coun- cil. Many of the ladies are uncommonly haudsome Those of the Casullian descent pride themselves of having pure blood, and can exhibit a lilly white cheek; whilst those from the other provinces of Spain have a notixture of Moorish blood. They all, however, continue to reject the vulgar practice of wearing hats and bonnets, live a sedentary lile, and make themselves useful only as playthings for the other sex. i have this moment received a file of the Herald from a fiend, via Laguayra. I must, therefore, conclude my remarks tor the present, retire to my hammock, and havea glorious feast. Quddeac i wd. com dios. Ss. D. New Brunswick, N. J. [Correspondenee of the Herald.) New Brunswick, Oct. 24, 1844. New Jersey Presbyterian Synod—Talk--Prayers— Talk — Sermons—-Talls —- Talk —- Talk —-Talk— Talk, §c. Knowing the interest you take in all important movements, religious and political, I have thought to write to you from this city of slow-paced Datch men, giving youa brief account of a meeting of the highest ecclesiastical body of the Presbyterian Church in this State. The Synod of New Jersey met here on Tuesday last in the church of that elo- quent divine and faithful preacher, the Rev. Dr. Davidson. The nuniber of clergymen in attendance was not large, and if one may judge trom their physiogno- my there was among them no wonderfai array of talent. The Rev. Drs. Alexander Yeomans, Mur- ray, Davidson, and Addison Alexander, might be accounted the cream; the others, the skimmed- milk, variously diluted, some even to the blueish tint, and therefore, most appropriately members of a New Jersey Synod. The exercises were opened with a sermon oa the qualifications and duty of ministers, by the Rev. Dr. McLean, the moderator. Tuesday evening was occupied with addresses on the subject of Foreign Missions; a prayer, not re- markable tor brevity, was made by Rev. Dr. Miller. After which a boniface-looking personage proceed- ed with an address of about 15 or 20 minutes, in the course of which he remarked that while God ope- rates in the world, men are used as the means, and it might with truth be said, that all the good and evil done in the world is done by man—this re- mark, one of real practical importance, was pre- ceded and followed by a strain of common-place appeals, that may be found in‘the various mission- ary reports of the past ten years. fe was followed by another in an address remarkable only for con- taining nothing remarkable per se. Atter which, the Rev. Dr. Alexander rose, and intorming the audience that he had been invited by the Secre- tary of the Board to say something ata Home Missionary meeting, to be held during the session of the Synod, and that his engagement would not admit of his being present then, he wouid on the present occasion make one remark in reference to thateubject; it was thie, that the Synod of New Jersey drew more from the Home Missionary Board for the support of the gospel within their bounds than they contributed to it.“ Here,” said he,” ‘fis a fact for you to meditate upon.” Anda startling fact it ought to have been—yet it seemed to produce but little effect on the leaden counten- ances of the majority of ministers present. He then proceeded to advocate and enforce the claims of foreign missions, and the daties of ministers in reference thereto in a strain of eloquence, and with ao ardoi and zeal so far Worthy of emulation as that one might well be led to question whether there could be concentrated frem one halt the Sy- nod the life, energy, aud proper appreciation of duties and responsibilities there existed in that old mac of nearly : : Last evening was occupied with a meeting on the subject of Home Missions. An address of areater length than merit was made by Dr. Mc- Dowell, who was followed by. @ tall-looking per- sonage, who seemed determined to entorce hi ideas by violent gestures, about as appropriate to their objeet as a cow bejl would be toa church steeple. To tell what has been done by this Synod likely to produce any good practical effect, would be a tas» of some difficulty and would réquire much patient waiting. Discussions about Rome, foreign missions and home missions, and, as if to carry us back a few centaries, propositions to es- tablish Presbyterian common schools, are the fruits of tis Synod. This common school project, 60 monstrous in itself, ought to receive the frowns of all intelligent Presbyterians. If bigotry must be tolerated, and even nurtured in the bosoms of our children, let us go over at once to Bishop Hughes. Why meet him half way? Why boast of our pe- culiar constitutional adoptedness to our political condition, while we would strive to lay hold of and warp the human mind? We trust this pro} ject will receive favor no where beyond the walls that con- tained this Synod. No one we know can object to the authorized teachers of a church promulga- ting and enforcing, with all their skill in argument, ind with all the force of a deep-seated conviction, resulting from a laborious investigation, the pecu- liar doctrines of their church; but when it is pro- posed to establish and foster a narrow sectarian selfishness, as the system proposed would, it is time to sound the alarm. Seriously, we believe there is no class of men among christians, as such, who need more direct, sound and awakening, soul- stirring preaching, than ministers of the gospel. Accustomed, as they are, to point out duty to others, they fose sight of the fact, that in their sta- tion duties of no ordinary character are required of them. Ministers, while there are among them many honorable exceptions, are too much prone to con- sult their ease. Instead of coming forth on the Sabbath with burnished armor, ready to do battle against the great enemy of mankind, they are con- tent to come forth with the fruits of sufficient la- bor only to have beaten out the few theological ideas that have been beaten into them, into a pair of slumber-;rovoking sermons. And when they hear it alleged that the doctrines of their church are likely to lose their foothold—that parents are becoming indifferent to them, and their children are like to be permitted to wander beyond their pale, what do these far-seeing ministers? _Forget- ting their own responsibilities—torgetting that they are fast yielding their just and a influ- ence upon the minds of the young—that they are transferring it to unlearned, inexperienced Sabbath school teachers—that Bible classes and weekly doctrinal instructions superintended by them are fast becoming obsolete, and having sul- ficient perception to discover that something muet be done, and not dreaming of redoubling their own labors, modestly propose to transter the keep- ing of Presbyterianism into the hands of the Com- mon-school teacners. : Verily, if these men were, like Paul, called to boast what “speaking as a fool,” it would indeed be. Fortunately, in the present instance, nothing was done but to talk of the matter. I have thoxght, Mr Editor,it wouldgbe news through your paper to advise the public of it. ALPHA.

Before Viee Chancellor McCoun. Octowen 18—Seconn Dav.— The Cruger Case—Mr. ood’s is a marked husband plicity ‘to sad this deed down to a master to determine, what of course she will deny—and what all the materials are before your Honor to decide. It is alleged, however, that although Mr. Cruger may not have used undue per. suasivn, or vercion with his wife personally, yet he did it indirectly through collusion with Mr. and Mrs. Mon- roe. Of this tripie alliance, however, there is not the slightest proof It is a mere fancy and is wholly denied yy the parties under oath. What possible motive could Mr. Mouroe aud bis wile have hed jor taking sides with we alove of truth und a disinterested sense 'y were doing so manifestly against their own interests. From him they had nothing to expect— from Mrs, Cruger and her brothers they had large expec: tations, which they jeopardized by displeasing her. Hud they been actuated by selfish and mercenary considerations their obvious course was to cling to her, right or wrong. In acting with honorable indeper:dence of all such views, the truthiulness of their conduct and their testimony is made certain, and they ure entitled to the highest admiration of all just'persous. ‘To uvoid these conclusions a pretence is set up that their motive was to secure Mr. Cruger’s assis tance in prosecuting a claim they have ogainst George Douglas, and tha: his expected co-operation was the machinery he so applied to produce an alienation trom Mra, Cruger. Thu dood a dar tercnedyand distorted mode of accounting simple event, and it is in con- flict with all the facts big ‘The claim in question originated so far back as 1814, nearly twenty years before Mr. Cruger married iuto the family, and hau always been Qn open question among them—and yet he is charged Getting it up to produce dissension—and what was course in the business ? Instead of wishing to sepa rate them on this claim, itis in evidence, that he was instrumental in filing a Bill in which the names of Mrs. Cruger, and Mr. illiam Douglas were joined with those of Mr. and Mrs. Monroe, and that it was Mra. D herself who surendered them. She has, declared until istely, thet she religious ly believed the elaim against her brother George wus per- fectly valid and just, but that she would not herself p: ecute it. At the same time she also said, if her hus! “take burden” for her, and proceed for ita r covery, sue would not oppose his doing #0. Upon this Mr. Crager accordingly instituted a suit, and then after wards of asudden, with her constitutional inconsistency, she insisted that the names of herself and brother William should be struck out of the proceedings. How then can at be pretended that Mrs. Monroe parted from her sister in this claim, or that Mr. Cruger effected that separation ?- The object they say, was to secure his assistance; but were his services so invaluable, tbat they were to be pur chased at such aprice? In what capacity were they to be rendered? If as a witn can they not eompel bis testimony under the process of subpana? If as counsel in the case, aro there not others of equal ability who might be retained, or are those professional abilities in deed so great, which the oppos.te side have, day after day been so streneeusly endeavoring to deprec at? But this whole pretext of a collision between Mr and Mr. Monroe and Mr. Cruger, and ef a conspiracy among the persons who have taken part in these transactions, tu extort money from Mrs. Croger, is as, preposterous as was the plot ogainst Rosaeau, which his egotism made him suppose all the world had entered into. ‘The true Cause of separation 1s satisfactorily explained in various passages of the proofs. Alter the subsisting arrangement of November, 1841, was completed, Mra. Cruger, to in- duce her hus! togive itup as he had owe that preceded it, re used to live with him, and as an additional means to gain her object, endeavored to induce her sister to exclude him from her house. This she refus¢d to do ; and hence, and hence alone, Mrs. Cruger broke with Mrs. Monroe, as is stated by her husband in Exhibit 28. “You have withdrawn from your husband, ,as your sistcr has said, and maintains, from money matters, which in her opinion is no sort ul justification for the separation of man and wife. ‘‘’herc- tore, she cannot other than welcome him under our roof, as she bas always done, and this seems to have been the “head and front of her offending.” To come back to the question of coercion, which is really the only one in the second aspect of the case, was there in point of fact any importunity or undue persuasion controlling her will ? From her last letter to her husband of Octob:r, 1641, written shortly betore the execution of the existing deed, it is palpable that she had a will of her own, and that it had not yielded or been influenced in the slighest degr by any thing her husband had seid or dene up to tha’ riod of time. Who then exercised the coercion, , subsequently to the date of this letter which produced that deed? Certainlyotthe hushand. There is not a shadow ot influence exercised by him directly, or indirectly be- tween the date of that letter and the execution of the deed ofthe 19th November now in dispute. Not even that secret, unavoidable, pervading, but inscrutable influence Gentleman speck of as so much to be guarded against 98 between man and wife, since in this instance t! were ho opportunities fo1 it, as the parties were living separ- ace, aud neither corresponded, or saw each other during 8’ interim. Nor can it be even suggested that his esorted (0 a8 a means of inducing her to make the deed in tl ance for the separation, wes solely and exclasi’ toh act, as it still is. She hi the expedient of deserting by w of getting him to surrender the Deeds he held, and hi jcceeded with one arrangement alter onatheg. while he rmade use of t to obtain them from her, His only and @ position has been that he would rather give up the whole property than touch any of it in a state of dependence—hers that she would rather ive up her husband, than that he suould have any of Piaconteaited by her. But is she afer all a per. son likely to be coerced? Look at her letter to Mr. Bard, of the 17th August, 1840, in which she speaks of her husband’s having “most daring duced” her name in "the suit against her brother in the face of herinterdiction.” To talk of coercing ady who holds such language in reference (o her hus- band, is sheer nonsense. Queen Elisabeth herself, in the stormiest days of her power and her passion, never used terms moredictatorial, or indomitable—and in fact, this lady’s tone and system of condact throughout, are pitched upon the same key. fhus, in another letter, she de- nounces, without giving the least proaf, the deeperat: rors of her husbanu’s ways, and his general umworthi and prescritves his going to the communion table as requisite to their re-union. To say that such a wife is un. der marital influence, is an effrontery of assertion that that here last two gdeeds v jon,fany wife from teking ony further interest in i matter, patra ¢ as their cotswe had been mise by her ister, and the ouly apt shown om his part, was simply carrying « from irs. Monroe to Mr. Strong; and as act of this lady, nothing but toe most jaun- p erstaud it. In all respects it nd proper, Kind hearted and noble- |, with Mr. Bard and others, that best tor Mra. Cruger, and with her © her sister had the tld never herself be happy nor let Mr vec beso” In this belief she used a sister's privilege sfocmed a saster’s duty; but, in ber own touching language, “1 had no view but for my sister—I urged her from: the bottom of my heart to do what J asked her—! used no argument but eflection.” And ll she gained was 4 promise from Mrs. Cruger to think of it, and try to do what she asked. ‘The only person who really did have any influence with Mrs. Crager on this occasion, was Mr Francis B. Ogden. This witness has been assailed from the otucr side, and called a John Brill, From thia | suppose we are to understand that le is rude, and over bearing in his manners; as there is no evidence of it, however, we have as good u right to say that on the contrary, he is remarkably courteous and urbane.

Te this itis answered that when these acts of ratification took place, she did not know sbe could have the instrument vaeated by going intoa Court of Justiee, She had her senses sbout er however, plenty of time to reflect, friends to consult, end her Solicitor always at hand to her of rights. Had she then declared that deed had forced from her, that she executed it under coercion it to be believed that she would uot have been told was null and void, and that she could have it set aside ‘The truth is,however,that this idea of coercion was all alter toner, put in her head, as we shall presently by the evil advisers inte whose hands she hed fallen, she quarrelled with her hushend, her sister, and all her real friends. In this remarkable case all notion of duty, or moral obligation seem to be lost sight of bythis ladyand ber counsel, in the one overshadowing consideraiion of the Tights of property. Because she 1s rich. she is to be ale lowed to _ without reprehension, thet she will not live with hor ndsband unless she choot or have any inter. course with her sister, unless she will thrust him from her threshold. But there surely are higher principles of action than section, or resentment, or any con- nected with money— the principles of duty, and and moral, end religious obligation. Upon these my client is ready to act, and under these, however refract his wife will one day have te come. In the forcible lan- guage of that great man, Lord Stowell, in the case of £ vans vs k.vans, 2 Hoggard’s Consistorial Reports, 35, Mrs. Cruger “must be informed that the law of this country, and of every Christian country, does not allow a man (and still leas a woman,) to use the langusge, ‘I will be separated from my wife’ Marrisge is the most solemn engsgement which one human tract with another.
