Mean Government, trial of “Big Thunder” and his asseciate rT’, NOW in progress at Hudson, in this State, is cae of the mest important which has ever taken place inthis country, in consequence of its lavolving the strength and force of republican go- vernment to preserve the civil relations of society involved in contracts concerning lauds. We have despatched a reporter from this establishment, for the purpose of giving a full account of these trials —a piece of newspaper enterprise which no other journal! in this city has attempted. The prelimina- ry proceedings closed !ast Saturday, reeulting in the selection of a jury, and the trial commenced yesterday, the proceedings of which will appear in this day’s Evening Edition of the Herald, and to them we refer our readers, We say these trials are important, and in every point of view they are deeply so, whea viewed in their bearings on the permanence of democratic or republican institutions. It is generally rumored and believed by a great many, that the spirit of the people in the insurrectionary districts, has been so demoralised by political agitators of all kinds, that “Big Thunder,” “Little Thunder,” and all the “Thunders” of the anti-rentere, will escape by the disagreement of juries, if not by entire ac- quittals, We do not know what probability there 1s of such a result, but if an open violation of the law—a resistance to the constituted guthori- ues, proved by clouds of witnesses, are thusto escape in consequence of the peculiar feelings and sensi- bilities of jurors, we may at once say there is an end to all the civil and moral institutions of republican government. We are on the verge of a dissolution of the civil and political compact. There are six orseven counties in this state infected with the same principle of resistance to the laws, growing out of the same condition of society as the events in Columbia county have recently developed.— If the jury should disagree, and allow those ageinst whom the evidence is palpable and strong, to escape, there is no end to the progress of those disorganizing doctrines, and in fact the courts of law throughout the State may be as well shut up finally and for ever. ‘This isa lamentable condition of things. In Columbia county, in Delaware county, and in other counties,resistance is made by the occupiers of lands to the owners on a variety of grounds, and one of them springing from something like ‘na. tiveism.” And, again, the same epirit which is at the bottom of this anti-rent movement, has a par- tial consanguinity to the principles and the policy which have brought about repudiation in several of the States of this Union, and particularly the re- cent Bankrupt Law, by which hundreds of millions of private debts were abolished without any re- gard to honesty or integrity. We have, indeed, now reached a mostimportant point in the progress of civil government and social institutions on de- mocratic principles. Six or seven counties in this State are already infected with the disorganizing doctrines of the anti-renters, and if those who are proved beyond the poasibility of a doubt to have been guilty of resisting the law be permitted to escape, through the demoraliza- tion of the public mind operatiog on jurors, all who own real estate in the cities or towns may prepare for the period when such a thing as rent will be repudiated altogether, and the occupiers of houses and lands will pretend to have as much right to them, without rent, as if they were the actual owners. It will be seen, therefore, that this trial is of the utmost importance, and we have accordingly felt it to be our duty, as a public journalist, to send @ competent reporter to Hudson, for the purpose of giving a full account of the proceedings, in order to instruct and guide public opinion. The first day’s proceedings will be found in this evening’s Herald. Position or THe Texas Question-*Its Propa- BLE RKesut.—la the present state of the Texas question, the only alternative now left is to nego- tiate a treaty, and we see some intimations made in the administration papers that it is supposed commissioners will be immediately sent to meet others on the part of Texas. Buta treaty for an- neXation must be agreed upon by two-thirds of the Senate, and that the democratic party cannot hoje to command, unless a defection should take place in the whig ranks, which is very unlikely now. Unless there be a general concurrence on the part of the masses of the people of both parties, the probability is that Texas never will be annexed. We are sorry—very sorry--sorry from the bottom of our heart, that we have lost Texas, and shall accordingly wear crape on the left arm for thirty days, and recommend to our friends, the democra cy, to do likewise. Taxes or THe Ciry—Imrvupgnce Extraogpt- Nany.—lIt is a singular fact, that several of the Wallstreet journals are endeavoring to circulate a statement that the present corporation have re- duced the expenses of the city, or, in other words. the taxation. A more impudent and atrocious falsehood never was published. 1t will be at once seen by any reasonable men who will examine the affairs of the corporation, and who will only look to their own pockets, that the taxes of the city have been increased immensely during the last year. Wecan speak for one. Our taxes are at least one-third higher this year than they were under any former corporation, and hundreds can say the same thing. Yet these new reformers, with their Wall street ergans, have the effrontery to endeavor to deceive and commit a fraud upon the community, by representing that the taxes have been reduced. A QussTion For Paitosoruer Greziey.—Will this learned Thebana—this profound philosopher— please to state whether “ Bennett’s Herald” has been purchased by the whig party for the spring election, and is now in the hands of a whig com: mittee ? We understand this “ notorious print” is now supporting the whig candidates for the corpo ration at the next election. Will the philosopher reply to this peremptorily 2? Last summer we un- derstood from the same authority that the Herald was purchased by the locotoco committee. O/ course, if the whigs have purchased the assistance of that journal now, they must have paid the loco- focos a very handsome sum in order to get hold of such a powerful instrument in the approaching election. —_—_—___. Try Acatn.—The Courier pledges the support of the whig party to a treaty for the annexation of Texas, provided President Polk should preceed to negotiate on such a subject. We very much doub: whether the Courier has in its breeches pocket the proxy of the whig party in as secure a position as it once had the $52,000 of the United States Bank We anticipate repudiation and the benefit of the bankrupt act following such a promise on the part of the Courier in behalf of its party, according to all present appearances. What's tHe Marten t—The whole Wall street press are now endeavoring to throw cold water on Dudley Selden and the whigs. The Courier, Ex press, and Journal of Commerce, are all engaged in the same crusade. We rather think, however, that the reign of Wall street 1s nearly at a close for ever in the elections in New York. This election will determine that PesseNGeRs For Evrore.—We understand thai the fine packet ship Stephen Whitney, Captain Thompson, to sail on the 11th of May, for Liver- pool, has all but five of her berths already engaged. Packet Suip Henry Oray.—This new monster packet ship will be launched at 10 o’clock thi: morning, from the yard of Brown & Bell, at the foot of Houston street. Sanguirtco’s Concgat.—Chis entertainment wont off admirably last evening, 4 Smirs.—The Star Line of Liverpool Packets, of which Robert Kermit, Esq ,is the agent in this city, has just built another splenaid ship called the Waterloo, She is com- mended by Wm. H. Allen, Esq., who for many years was captnin of the old favorite Virginign. ‘This Waterloo is really a magnificent ship. She being the last built, of course she has all the latest improvements in ship building. Throughout every part she is perfect and complete. One thousand tons in bulk, one hundred and sixty feet in length, with fine promenade decks, she presents to the eye one of the finest specimens of naval architecture afloat, All the cabin arrangements of the Waterloo are Not only superb, but they are comfortable. They are chastely fitted up with mahogany panels and white enameled pilasters; high ceiling and rich settees; large state rooms and capacious berths; and tables so arranged that the passengers can either ail eat at one table, or they can form themselves into separate sets or messes, We saw with pleasure all these nice arrangements for the comfort of thoze who travel over the ocean. These fiae cabins {orm only one of the charac- teristics of the Waterloo. She has mapy—she is as complete in her arrangements for the steerage pas- sengers. They have the roomiest quarters of any ship that we have seen. Airy, high, wide, and clean is their cabin. So are the quarters for the sailors: they will have a fine library, which has been presented to the ship ; a stove to keep them warm ; and places to stow away their clothes from the reach of the sea. This strong and powerful ship ought to be seen by every one. She is now open for visitors, and ladies and gentlemen are welcome to her cabin’ and to her decks. She lays at the foot of Maiden Lane, and will remain in port ’till the 11th of next month. Tue Srrests. ‘he condition of the streets is horrible beyond description. Piles of fill are to be seen every where—when it rains the crossings are impassable ; and when it is dry, the clouds of dust fill the etores, penetrate into every house, and almost suffocate those who are unfortunately obliged to go out of doors. Is this awful state of things never to end ? Prison Rerorm.—The remarks of Judge Ed- mondg, in his charge to the grand jury of the coun- ty, before the Court of Oyer and Terminer, in re- latioa to the abuses that exist in the public prisons, will betound of the deepest importance. We give a full report. Danre. WepsTER aT THE CaTTLE Marxet.— The Hon. Daniel Webster yesterday visited the cattle market at Bull’s Head, to ingpect a few fine cattle that had arrived there from Virginia, and a remarkably good looking heifer from Chenango county, in this State. He prenounced them to be superior animals—equal to any he had ever seen, and he has met with ** much cattle” in his day. Mosicat Itzms.—We understand that De Begnis has been offered very munificent terms to accom pany the Borghese troupe—now at New Orleans— to Mexico. They intend, it seems, to proceed immediately to Vera Cruz and Mexico, and to per- form there during the next four months. If they should do so, it would break up the arrangements which have been in progress here for the resuscita- tion of the opera in New York, by combining Val- tellina, Antogaini, Sanquirico and Madame Pico, in one troupe. We are really afraid that, after all, the efforts to establish the opera in this city will turn out quite abortive. The “Wardens” open to-night at the Society Library. Their talents as vocalists have been spo- ken of in the highest terms. Mr. G. Vanpgnuorr’s Lecrure this evening, before the Mercantile Library Association and the public, at the Clinton Hall, is a repetition, by the request of several families, of a lecture recently de- livered with greatsuccess at the Society Library. Its subject is both interesting and instructive. Important Lecturss on Gas,c.—Last evening, Colton, the new philosopher, gave a lecture on ex- hilirating gas, at Clinton Hall. It was rather thinly attended. Last evening one ‘ Dr. Griscom” gave a lecture on air and ventilation at the same place, which was also thinly attended. This may be called lecture No. 2 on gas. Last evening, also, at the Stuyvesant Institute, Mr. Hudson gave a lecture on Shakespeare, as usual. This may be called lecture no 3 on gas. “Tue Irish In America.” A lecture on this subject is to be delivered at Niblo’s this evening, by Mr. Major.j AcciDENT To THE CoLUmBia.—There was a re- port yesterday of a serious explosion on board the steamer Columbia. We are glad to hear, how- ever, that only a trifling accident happened to her, not serious enough to interfere with her regular daily trip. Summer Rerreat.—Amongst the changes in the fashionable watering places,we find that Blancard, of the Globe Hotel, has purchased the Pavilion at New Brighton, for $3,600, and intends to fit it up in magnificent style, with nice baths and all that.

Coffee has risen from 124 to 14 cents ; logwood trom 7 to 10} ; several vessels are going elsewhere to load. Government now receives Haytien money instead of Spanish, in payment of duties, on ac- count of the pressing demand for currency to pay the troops. There are rumors o{ suppressed outbreaks fn ve. rious parts of the island ; but, at present, every thing is quiet here. All foreign letters are now required to pass through the post office, which has just been established— postage 25 cents currency on letters weighing one ounce or less, and 25 cents on every additional half ounce.

Eliott has made an application for a writ of habeas corpus, and it is supposed he will be liberated. Two individ were arrested in Nauvoo a few dayr ago—one for perjury in the case of Elliott, and the other upon a requisition of the Governor of Iowa—both of whom were rescued from the hands of the officers in Nauvoo. These two cases have combined to create some bad feeling, and many suppose it may lead to the enact- ment of the scenes of iast summer.—St. Louis Rep., March 14, indent ytien —The js greater than at Tuas Istanp.—We have received the first nur- ber of the Twrks Island Gazette and Commercial Reporter, Pablishea at Grand Cayo. It commends itself to the notice and patronage of our mariners, by the faci- lities which it offers to them of a geveral circulation throughous the West India Islands. From this pape: we gather that there are about 160 000 bushels salt on hand, selling at 6} cents. In about three weeks there will be consi ters! more raked, if good salt weather continues; the ponds are in an excellent progressive state. Duet. —On Friday night last a fight oc t the Union Clob House, at the coteer ef NRO aint Walout strects, between two young gentlemen, Manlius Evans and Theodore Moss, in which Mr. Mose was se. verely beaten.

It was one of the best houses we have ever seen. Boxes, pit, and galleries were crowded. All the literati of the city were there, with a toler- able sprinkling of the élite, and the greatest curi- oisity and excitement appeared to prevail through- out the house, relative to the probable success or failure of this first attempt to exhibit on the Ameri- can stage a picture of American society and man- ners. After the orchestra had played an overture, ac- companied by the animated buzz of conversation, which was heard all over the house.the curtain was drawn up, and then Mr. Crisp entered, read- ing a newspaper, and spoke the following “ Protoaug. “ Fashion, a Comedy—Vll go—but stay— ‘New I read farther, ’dis @ native play !

Dear me, how very fine! Oh! our American words are decidedly ar. (Leughter.) Pn parent een Madame, what wonderfal pronuncis- n Mrs. Tiffany.—Ob ! a woman of refinement can easily accommodate herself toevery thing foreign! A week's study, and that invaluable work—French without a master”—has made me at home in all the languages of Europe. (Roars of laughter.) “Mrs. Tiffany” then discovers that’ “Zeke,” the name of the new tootman, i Racy vul- gar,” and on the iain eee of illinette,” it is changed to “Adolphe.” Prudence,” (Mra. Knight) a country maiden, on the wrong side otf thirty, and who has obstinately refused to follow the lead of her relative, Mrs. Tiffany, in fashion, then enters, and after surveying the splendid apart- ment, exclaims— How very spruce wedo look! (Laughter.) How dif ferent from the time you stood behind the little mahoga- ny counter in William street— ‘Mrs. Tiffany.—Millinette, leave the room. Prudence.—But | always said you were destined to rice above your station. (Laughter) Don’t you recollect when you used to go to buy our silks and ribbons at Tif fany’s store , and you used to stand sniggering and talk- ing, and I sald something would grow out of it, and didnt it turn out 807 Mrs. Tiffany —Millinette, leave the room instantly,'and tell Serapnina to ceme to me immediately. Millinette—Ah ! dis is one it country, ca thter.) Vl send for oll mine relations immediately. (ait 53 Mrs. Tiffany—I beg that you will always remember that we are of the “upper ten thousand,” and that these allusions to the past are decidedly vulgar. (Laughter) “Count de Jolimaitre,” (Crisp,) is then announ- ced, and on his appearance,is received with a pro- fusion of smiles by Mrs. Wess He has i formed Mra. Tiffany and her daughter, ° na,” (Mies C. Horn,) that he was “well known at all the courts (police courts) of Europe,” when ‘“‘Mr. Trueman,” (Chipperdale,) a blunt, honest farmer, fro.n Cataraugus county, is announced, to the horror of Mrs. Tiffany, and the annoyance of the Count. Mr. Trueman regards the Count with a gocd deal of suspicion, and asks, “Do you call that fellow, with a shoe-brush across his mouth, a count?” This provokes some impertinences on the part of that personage, which the honest farmer is about to chastise by soundly flogging the Connt, when Mrs. Tiffany affects to faint away—*'Milli- nette” rushes into the room with a glass of water, and a recognition takes place between her and the Count, which the latter manages to conceal—and here the firet act closes. ~ g _ The second act opens with a scene in the count- ing-house of ‘Mr. Tiffany” (Barry). His clerk, “Mr. Snobson,” (Fisher) threatens to make cer- tain disclosures unlees Mr. Tiffany consents to his becoming his son-in law, and finally ne is invited by Mr. Tiffany to the grand ball which Mrs. Tiffa- ny is to give ina day ortwo. Mr. Trueman then enters and salutes Mr. Tiffany, telling him that he had been told that he was “making money on the regular American high-pressure principle,” but adaing his opinion, that it was “ better to go slower, lest he might burst his boiler.” Mr. Tiffany re- plies, that although he wa: perfectly solvent,”’, yet he was desirous to obtain the assistance of his old friend. The scene then changes to the ‘*con- servetory,” where “Gertrude,” (Miss Ellis) a poor orphan, visiting in the family of the Tiffanys, is watering the flowers. Th: “Count” makes his appearance, and treats her with great insolence. Old Trueman comes to the Protection of Gertrude, and drives off the “Count.” a F The opening scene in the third act is a view cf the Battery—“Colonel Howard” (Dyott.) “Mr Augustus Fog” (Bridges,) and “Mr. T. Tennison Twinkle” (De Walden,) a poet who has written a sonnet to Seraphina in am’s Magazine, make their appearance. The Colonel is in love with Gertrude, but cannot think of marrying her, for he hag lost hisfortune by endorsing notes fora friend. He goes off very melancholy, and Twinkle,after in vain trying to get a listener to his “sonnet,” makes a very speedy exit on perceiving the approach of “Davis the militia fine collector.” The scene again changes to the drawing-room, where there is an interesting tete-a-tete between Mr. and Mrs. Tiffany. Mr. T.—It will ruin me— Mrs. T.—There is a certain degree of display which a woman of faihion— Mr. T.—Who made you @ woman of fashion? For fashion’s sake you run me into debt at eve portunity. For fashion’ marten compelled me to ti jis house, and furnish this style. For fashion’s sake you built that ruinous conservetory—hired more servants than there are persons to wait on, and dressed your footman like rlequin. Mrs. T —You are most decidedly vulgar, and invaria bly American in your observations. All this because I asked the pay sum ot $50 to purchase a new head-dress, which has just introduced in Frence. Mr. T.—Time was, Mrs. ‘Tiffany, when you made your own head-dresses ‘ook the first gloss off them at Tammany balls, and then sold them tu your customers. (Loud ap plause and Jaughter.) Mrs. T.—These vulgar remarks may be very good for the counting.house, but they arenot tobe borne here 1 beg you will purchase “Count d’Orsay’s Science of Eti- quette,” and learn how to conduct yourself before my rand ball on Friday.

Ves, and the night aftor her husband shot him- selt—do you wish ms to follow his example? ire. T—No. Oh! dear no—black is a very unbecom- ing color '—(Laughter.) : Gerrude then overhears a conversation between the Count and Millin-tte, and thus discovers that the former is a gross imposter, The fourth act opens with the ‘grand ball” and the ‘‘ Polka” by the characters. After the com- pany have gone to supper, Gertrude, by means of “Adolphe,” obteing an interview with the Count, and by personating Millinette obtains from him aa account of the infamous manner in which he intends to effect his scheme for eloping with Seraphioa. In the midst of this interview, how- ever, which takes place in a dark ante-room, Ger- trude and the Count are interrupted by Pru- dence, who had overheard the former instructing Adolphe how to bring the latter from the eupper table. and who is accompanied by Mr. Ti any, Mr. Trueman, Col. Howard, and others of th company. The Count escapes to a closet, but is te@on discovered by Prudence, and poor Gertrude is overwhelmed with confusion and Tegaeded with suspicion by all, as the Count asserts that sho had sought the interview. {nthe leat act the full denowement of course takes place,—Mr. Trueman finds that Gertrude has been most unjustly suspected, and becomes fully ac quainted with the imposture of the Count. Intel. ligence is then brought that Seraphina has eloped with the Count. Mr. Tiffany sinks overpowered, and Snobson at that moment‘enters and denouncer ‘im as e “forger” Old Troeman quietly gets Suobson to confese that he was himself an acces: sary, and of course his silence is seoured, Milli nettle makes @ full contesgion of the Count’s , and her own decept.ons, and informs Mrs ‘Tiffany, to her inexpressible horror, thet her darling Count was nothing more nor lesa than a “* head-cook,” and afterwards a valet in Paris. Old Trueman avows himself the grand- father of Gertrude, who had in. infancy been be- reaved of her parents, and who had been brought 1p by distant relatives at Geneva, and restores her willing hand upon Colonel Howard. Seraphina, warned in time by Gertrude, does not elope, and ‘he Count finally makes off with Miilinette. Mr. Tiflany acts on the advice of old Trueman, and resolves to sell his house and furniture, and live within his means in future. Mrs. Tiffany par- tially recovers from her dream of ‘fashion, and the comedy closes with the fellowing EPILOGUE. Prudence. 1 told you so ; and now you hear and sce, Itold the F.sbion would the Fashicn be! Trueman. ‘Then both its point and moral I distrust ‘ Count. Sir, is that liberal? Howard. Or is it just?

Ab, don’t, as som sngrecione Judges do, Confound the actor with the part be plays, And like him least, where most he merits praise ; In candor judge, some little mercy show, And let the world your honest verdict know; Here let it see pourtrayed its ruling passion, And learn to prize, at its just value, Fashion. Such is the outline of this comedy. It was re- ceived last night with the greatest favor, and was announced for repetition this evening amid loud applanse. It has been put upon the stage in a really superb manner, and the various characters were sustained in a manner highly creditable. Thus far it may be said that “Fashion” has been quite suc- cessful, but whether it will have a long or a short run is yet to be seen. We have no doubt, how- ever, thet if possible the Park will be still more crowded to-night than it was last night; and from the peculiar cnaracter of the comedy, we expect some very singular developments amongst the play-going people of this city. City Intelligence. Daeaprut Accipent in Cuanuron Staret—Exriosion or A Bomp SHetu—Five Lives Lost.—One of the most deplorable accidents that has occurred in this city fo long time, happened ) esterday sfternoon about 5 o’clock, by which in an instant five human beings were deprived of life—cut off without a single moment of preparation from the paths of health and busy life—in all the vigor of youth and manhood, leaving many relatives and friends to deplore their untimely end. The circumstances of this fatal affair, as near as the Reporter was enabled to procure them from the spot lest evening, are simply these About 5 o’cloch yesterday ofternoon Mr. Edward Duval house smith and founcer, of No. 102 Charlton street, was engaged on the walk. in front of his shop, in getting out the contents of some bomb shells which he had procured from a small s! lying at Weshington market, for the purposs of melting down. He hed got out the plug or screw from the shell, and had poured out about a pint of the combustible matter. He then ineerted a stick, (it is said, but it was probably a rod of iron,) with which he was endeavoring to dig out the combustible matter While thus engaged the shell exploded, and the fragments of the shell flew in every direction. Mr. Duvall was killed instantly, and was mangled ond torn in the most shocking manner. Mr. Aaron O. Price, mason, of No. 79 Thompson street, had just driven up with his cert, and jumped off when the explosion took place, and a fragment of the shel! striking the back psrt of his head, clove the skull and dashed out his brains, killing him instantly. His horse was also killed. Richard Broderick, a lad about 16\years of age, residing at the corner of King and Hadaon streets, who wes passing at the time, was also in- stantly killed, and a boy named Bennett, of the same age, who resides in Hudson street, between Hammersly and King. Another person, whore nome was not known, was wounded, und after going to his residence is said to have died. The windows of several of the houses opposite were broken by the explosion, and pieces of the shell thrown in. Beforesome of the windows, portions of blood and brains wore thrown and remained there. The greatest exci ent prevailed in the neighborhood from the time of the accident until a lste hour in the evening, and the street was completely thronged with men, women and children, all discussing the dreadful affair. Mr. Duvall has lett a wife and child, and Mr. Price has a large tamily ofchildren. TheCorener w: summoned to hold in ir- queet upon the deceased, and joon as he received the informatin he repaired ‘to the spot, but thinking it inad- visable to hold an inquest last night, he had the bodies re- moved te their several humes, and will! hold inquests upon them this morning. Police one March aT pt on or In A young woman of very respects @ppearance appeared -at one of the ‘Weick Housss lest night, and stated that sh was with child by her own father—he having had inces- tuous and illicit intercourse with her about three months since. The female: her name as Mary Newbown, stated that she lived in Ludlow street. Atthe dis- rge of the watch, Justice Drinker heard her story and aent her up into the female apartment, intending to inver- tigate the matter. The father has not been arrested, nor has the girl’s affidavit been token, but the matter will pro- bably be attended to to-Ja: Cuance or Inranticior.—Information was given to Alderman Baylis this pe by Mr. Millbanks, of No. 173 Madison street, that a child had been discovered in the privy attached to his premises, and that from suspi- cious behaviour of a servant named Rosanna Kelly, who had been living in his employ three weeks and left sud- denly on Wedaesday or Thursday last, he believed her ilty of the act, Alderman Baylis epplied to Justice tinker this morning, oni he dispatched officer Mil- likin to attend to the case—arrest the girl, and teke eare of the child. Millikin had the child taken from the Privy and conveyed to the dead house in the Park, arrested the woman. She is 22 years of sge and very good looking. She confesses that she is the mother of the child, but declares that it wes born dead and if so, of course there is nothing to sustain the charge. The Coroner did not hold an inquest to-day, but will pro- bably to-morrow, and have a post mortem examination made, when it can be ascertained whether the child was bern alive ordead. Meantime Rosanna remainsin prison to await the result. Farner against Son—Dareaprut Cuarce —On Satur- day, it will be recollected, John F. Kelly, publisher ofthe “Court Journal or Life in New York,” was arrested on complaint of Dr. Solomon Heine of this city, for publish- ing a libellous article, charging the doctor with having obtained the body of his own son from Sing Sing Prison, where he had died a convict, and dissected him in his of- fice, in the dead hour of the night, and after having pre pared the skeleton hung it up in the office. It now appears by the affidavit of a bey nemed William E Jacobs, sen of Mr. Jacobs of the City Watch, that Dr. Joseph Heine, the son ef Dr. Solomon Heine, was the au- thor of the article, and sent it to the publication office of the above named print by Jacobs. Dr. Ji was arrest- ed by officer William H. Stephen id held to bail to an- er. I{ the case ever comes to trial it will present some gular features, but pro! ly the matter will not go any further. In such a caso as this, however, the matter should not be permitted te drop till a thorough investiga- tion is made. Coroner’s Office=Marcu 24.—Fatau Accipest.— The Coroner held an inquest this morning at Bellevue Hospital, upon the body of Patrick Devlin. about 45 years of age, who died on Friday night from the effects of @ fall at the Third District Watch-house on the night of the 9th inst. Devlin had been brought in in a state of intoxica- tion, and a watchmi taking him down stairs when he stepped out too i fell—the watchman being ob- liged to let go for fear of being dra; down himself, as there is no bannister to the stairway and nothing for him to catch hold of. Perhaps the committee on public build- ings and repairs will hi he evil remedied to prevent ach accidents in future. The coroner’s jury found that Devlin came to his death from the injuries received by e fall. Circuit Court, Before Judge Edmonds. Marcu 24—Tyial of Polly Bodine for Murder.—As early as 8 o'clock, the avenue leading to this Court con- tained groups of persons, amongst whom were several females, who seated themselves on either side the passege in order to obtain a view of the prisoner on her way io court. The avenues gredually began to fill up, with « noisy, boisterous crowd, who kept shouting loudly until, the hour for openiug the court had arrived, and rendered it difficult for the Judge, jurors, and etficers of the court, to meke their way to the court room. The noise and i by them obliged the offic to the passags ork which caused considerable difticulty and delay—when a og bed was placed crose- , and the officers stationed themselves at the inner side with their long steffs, which were kept in con: requisition. The crowd pressed forward to the t the officers used their steffs with rigor—when a regular shouting and hissing was kept up tor some time. The vanguard of the mobocracy | gem some of their forces across the enemy’s lines, when immediately the officers laid on them, and after inflicting a severe cestigation upon them, pitched them back egain over the lines. It was a re- gular skirmish whilst it lasted—a sort of siege—ai a ludicrous effect to the cool looker-»n. Several lad epectators—arrived up to 10 o'clock, and took their aces within the bar. There was considerable shout- fog kept up by the noky crowd, who could not ob. tain admission when the court was opened. There wasan immense rush fcr places when the doors were thrown open, and the prisoner, atter some delay, was led to the place assigned her, accompanied by her mother and daughter. The greatest anxie:y was manilested at she ed to her place. When the court was organised, ¢ following jury, already sworn, took their places :— Wiiliam Lintz, er, foreman; Sami. L. Danfleld, mo- son; James Sadgbury, brewer; Abraham B. Skillman, hardware; Hubbard G. Stone, watchmaker; William Pyle; Myron H. Craft, grocer; Peter E Coon, baker; Wm. Southerland, John Wilcox, watchmaker; John MeColgan; James M. ‘fice, hatter. ie « here applied to the court to direct the jury to view the premii course which was allowed at the last trial, when it wi ranged that inthe event of such a course being necessary, they could do soafter the trial Mr ‘Chane, beretipan opened the case The prisoner stood indicted for wilfal murder, and her case had sive dy been tried before the court of Richmond county, anc the jury upon the first occasion, could not agree, when a second jury could not be found, and therefore the venue was changed to this county, ‘The orime of which the prisouer stands charged, one of the most revolting that was found in the bl catalogue, and the circum stances connected with itare such as have scarcely o prralle’ in the annals of crime, and when they con sidered that the ner was a relative of the ceased, it would be received as a deep aggravation, The various circumstances connected with the murder of Mrs, Howaeman and child, on the night of the 96th De- the house wi att The cember, bei ‘hriatm: found on fire, strongly implicated the prisover. house, on being broken opea, the bodies of Mrs. House man and child were ‘ound under the bed, nearly burned up, their heads being completely consumed, end their bodies were charred. A handkercniet was found tied about both hands, which were also nearly burned up, and the bones of her leit arm were broken. The skuil was vemoved by violence before the flames were communice- ted to the body, from the symptoms exhibited at the post mortem examination, a piece of the skuil of the cbiid was tound tuck toacap, Which was not at all buraed, vearing evicence that 1 must have been removed before the fire was communicated. There was a quantity of jewelry teken from a bureau in the room, which were found pawned in eeveral offices in this city and which they could conclusively show were pawacd on the subse- quent Monday in this city by Mrs. Bodine. There were other circamstances which strongly connected the prison- er with the crime of which she stood charged. She was seen going into the house onthe Saturday night previous. The n ght of the murder, a scream was heard about nine o’clock, and from the facts and circumsta.ces which they would introduce in evidence, there remained no doubt of the prisoner’s guilt. Mr. C. here detailed the various particulars, which wil! be found in evidence. During the delivery of the address, the prisoner kept her eyes closed, and bore the recital of the various details with much calm- ness, until Mr C. adverted to the fact of the delivery of achild in prison after her arrest, when the prisoner im mediately wept loudly and shook her head in deep agony, wiping the tears with a white kerchiel, as they {ell pro- fusely down ber cheeks. She seemed to feel her tryii situation a good deal at this moment, and sobbed bly. Isaac ‘nULERS—(the ficst witness sworn) —examined by Mr. Cuanx,—I reside at Staten Island. { am a car- enter by trade. I reside about one mile and a half from rt Richmond, on the Island—about five miles from the house of Mr. Houseman: I was a'fthat house on theeven ing of Christmas day, 1843; on my way home from Port Richmond, | saw a light,and when | got nearer I saw that it waa Mr. Housemen’s house that wason fire. When I ot near the house there was a woman coming from the Eouse—sh took some water—I think her neme wes Sarah Selman. There were several women there draw. ing water. I went into the honse and went up stairs, and there found the body of a grown person—! saw taken out what I supposed was the other body. The body was much charred—end the head was burned up. There was a hole under the bed burned through the floor—the hole wes burned through near the head—the bed was placed pretty near north and south—the bed stood close ina cor- ner. The hole that was burned through the floor was near the head of the bed. A map of the premises was here put in, describing the location of the bed and room where the body wes found. It was shown to the jury,who,deeming it more satisfactory to have an opportunity of perpogelly inspecting the pre- mises, the Court adjourned for the purpose, when the Judge and all proceeded to Staten Istand.

Tue Pawson Anuses—Common Counci.—The Court, onthe jury being sworn, called the attention of the Grand Jui ‘to present abuses which exist in the dis- ci xine in relation to the prisons of the city.— Shey were bound by their oaths to disch their duties with ut fear, favor, or affection. He directed their attention to the state of crimo, andthe extraordinary num- ber of capital cases which were tobe found on the cale: dar—having no less than four murder cases. Thie played a state of morals which made it imperative on tl seriously to consider, and carefully to regard this state of things. But, in addition, the returns from ‘ Sing Sing,” showed the fearful magnitude of crime in this city, whieh, when compared with the State generally, exhibited the fearful state of the morals in the community of the city of New York. ‘There were at Sing Sing no less than—males 423—fe males 31, and out of this number there were from the city of New York alone—males 180 ; females 13. Inthe city prison, there were foo less than -males 592 ; fe males 564 ; and in the penitentary at Blackwell’s Island, there were—males 1,125 ; females 630. These statistics showed a fearful state of the morals of this city, and that there wasa great growing evil existing in their very midst, reflecting on the morals of the coun- ay The crime of the S'ate of New York, compared with that of England, showed a great preponderance on the part of the latter ceuntry—being four times as large on the part of England ; but, when praced in comparison with the city of New York, it is almost as greaton the part of the city of New York. These were considers- d home on all who value the well be- hey could find a remely. Now what is e of this atete of things? I believe it arises from , that the public prisons established in our city are schools for crime, instead of being places calculated to abate the evils which they are designed to correct. I make this bold assertion in relation to your city prison and other prisons, thet to all intents perposes they are schools tor crime, because facts warrant the as- sertion. ‘There are in the city prison alone, for offences to the person, no less than Females . tone These are for what I would call the outrageous violation of law, breaches of the peace, violation of order, robbe- ry—persons who, in defiance of the settled laws of the community, take law into their own hands, This shows a vast proportion of crime, and it should be taken into serious consideration whether this atate of things ought be ellowed. In examining the report, I find, too, one ex teaordinary fact, which shows the extent to which these prison abuses have gone, A boy who had been lost, has been kept confined since December ; #0 we are presented with the extraordinary fact of a lost boy being lefc hoar¢: ing with felons. Gentlemen, ought this te of thin: ed in a civilized community ? you as pa- rents, as friends, if this is to be tolerated 7. There appears to be much difficulty, teo, in the erganization ; for the intercourse between the pritoners is unrestrained—they are allowed to wander, and their evil passions seem to be kept under no restraint. Now if this is the ci it is matter which should be remedied. There isa At} ‘ards the chief officer of the prison, in whose gocd conduct Ihave every confidence. He gets his appointment from the Common Council, but he has no power of government over the subordinate officers of the prison. This arise" from the fact of their being ap- pointed by another brench, who have pena and thus there is a radical detect in the system, which is perfectly manifest. In the female department, the female prironers are placed under the control of matrons of high moral reputation; but in the male part of the priton, the abures, that exist are fo glaring that when an officer who was sworn at @ public trial, where a man was tried for forgery, he testified, I understand, that he spent one of his evenings revelling with a convicted pirate, on oysters and rum. | would ask you, tl when such a state of things are sworn to ublic offi- cer, before a court of justice, ought they lowed to exist? Are they not radically wrong? Do they not re- quire some strong, some effectual remedy to puta check tothem? I speak of it as a matter of great evil, and it is my duty to call your attention to it. From my perscnal ex perience, 1am enabledto suggest a remedy. Out of the 1125 priseners confined at Blackwell’s there were what are called— gentlemen, Ihave, in addition, the report ofa Society, signed by six gentlemen, who have essociated for the purpose ¢f effecting some reform in prison discipline, taken in Fe- bruary last. They report in February los there were in the prison on Blackwell’s Island 1256 prisoners, and out of these a vast proportion had got in for the rpose of getting rid of a loathsome disease. ‘These number of pri soners had an sccommodation of only 496 cells, some 9 by 4, containing one bunk, on which two prisoners _eac! slept—the feet of one near the head of the other. There was no classification, and it was a singular fact, a _ma'ter of surprise, that there was no matronor nurse. The hos pital contained 233 invalids, who were visited once or twice a week by some tyros of the profession. Religious teaching appeared to be rather carefully attended to, 28 there was a good supply of bibles ; but ordinary educa- tion appeared to be totally neglectel The Report set out these facts. Gentlemen, I have before me communications from others who are philonthropists, and take a deep interest in the reformation of these crying grievances. Now what is the remedy? I will tell you what youcando. There are three different modes by which you can remedy the abuse. You may prefer indictment against the Common Council or the Commis. sioners of the Alma House, or the Officers. If so, I trust you will discharge your duty with firmness in compli. ance with the terms of your oaths; for, gentlemen, you wili bear in mind, that you pursue your line of duty in this bi ici and go not against men but against the sys- tem which has prevailed; and let the administration of the , the only remedy, abate an evil which all must deplore. It is not necessi to doubt such a mea- sure, and you must make such a representation os will enable you to effact auch desirable chat You can recommend various measures to bring this reform—I myself would suggest one or two. There ought to a system of periodical inspec tion, by which men could go into tnese prisons and examine them carefully and well. Plenty of such men Could be found, who would be most willing to act without fee or reward—for we have many pure-minded philanthropists amongst us, who would willingly serve onsuchaduty. I well know that those public offisers who are clothed with arbitrary power, often inthe die- charge of official duty when in charge of a prisor, abuse that power, and there ought to be a remedy which inquiy would at one st, But there is another remedy that should be j—a remedy that would at once strike at the root of ev that remedy is, gentlemen, to dis- connect the manegement of peels public prisens with the arty politica of the day—to detach them from the blasting influerceof party. They have been for years the place of party, the discipline and abuse have changed with every change of pasty. This, gentlemen, is the manner in which the public pritons have been conduc'ed. Look to your private charities—the last considera tion is that of any ab mongest the hospitals nd other departments that are supported by vate charities. Now, it cannot be that these institutions, in which the well being of the Stato ix involved will be allowed to continue in 0 deplorable a condition—and I call your attention to these matters, gentlemen,’so that if you find by your investigation the abuses which I have pointed out do exist, you will adopt Such measures as will remedy them. In the discharge of gt public duties, under the solemn oaths you have laken, you owe it to the peeple—you owe it to your country—yon owe it to your God—to discharge those duties firmly and fnithfally, ond to decide whether or not those evila, which prevail to so alarming an extent, shall any longer continue. Tapprehond, gentemen, that you will not be wanting ia duty on this important matter, and I call y asthe first Grand Jury | ted Pace Hag tion to it my personal experience hea enebled me to acquire much ioiermation cathe ‘subject of prison discipline. The law in relation to usury, lotteries and fire, the act directs I should call your special attention to. You will now, gentlemen, retire to your jury box and you will have every aid ‘you may require. The Grand Jury here retired to their rooms in the Halls of Justice Ds. ®elix Gouraua’, pische Neife.

Previous to the fe eae of the Hibernia from Liverpool on the 4*h of February, negociations were pending between the Government of Great Britain and that of France to bring sbout a co-op2ration, for the purpose of issuing a protest in the name of tke principal powers of Europe, protesting against the annexation of Texas to the United St: The next steamer, the packet of the 4th of March—-Cambria—brings’ no intelligence whatever upon the subject ,and the public mind on this side is therefore partially quieted. We cannot think that alter the movements made by the Government of Great Britain about (his affair that the thing ia not to he abandoned in this way, that after ail the negociations with other powers; after all the excitement created throughout Europe — the question, we cannot believe that a government like that of Great Britain, is going to give up the thing, as peaceably as the silence might induce many to hope. The Texas question ia not yet settled. The resolutions which passed both houses of Congress, will not briag the matter to acrisis. The terms proposed by these resolu- tions, have not and possibly not be accepted by the Government of Texas.

The tone of the Texas papers in relation to the terms of- fered by the Congresionai resolutions, seems to confirm any suspicion of thia nature, and we should not be eur- prised to see a complete explosion of the whole annexa- tion sffair. These are some of the opinions floating about in flnancie| circles, and it must be admitted that some of them are not without foundation.
