The Mysterious Movements of Trade and Commerce. We are more and more disposed to believe that we are in the commencement of a most interesting period in commercial prosperity, inflation, enter- | prise, adventure, fortune, misfortune, and final ex- plosion. From a full invesugation of the banks throughout this country, we find that in “the aggre- gate they are in the same position as in 1880, just riod commenced. But in addition to this, during the last two or three years the city banks of New York, Boston and Philadelphia have commenced a movement of inflation, which has increased taeir credits probably thirty to forty per cent to what they were in 1840.

Turarnicats.—All the theatres have been flour- | ishing more than ever during the last week, and the drama, in all its departments, and music have been | patronized to an extent almost incredible.

He makes his first appearance at the Park to-morrow night. This extraordinary artist has played before all the sovereigns of Europe, and | is now about to appear before the sovereigns of the United States. We also understand that a new theatrical reputation is about to appear at the Park in the legitimate drama. This is Mr. Mur- | doch, who has been placed by his friends in the same level with Mr. Forrest. He is a townsman of Forrest’s—has been a great student—and devoted himself with the utmost diligence to his profession, Many who have seen him, consider him and pro- nounce him quite equal to Forrest in every point of view. It will be a curious subject of inquiry to as- certain whether he will come up to this standard.

And this popu- larity he has deservedly earned by his liberal and christian course for many years in this city. We doubt not that the church will be densely crowded.

Theatric Paxx Turatne.—Another*crowded house welcomed | the Keans last evening, as enthusiastic as ever.

If there were any others to take the Keans’ characters with any degree of like effect, this piece would become a decided favorite with the pub- lic. At the conclusion of the performances, the applause was unbounded, and Mr. Kean, with his lady in hand, made their appearance in front of the curtain, acknow+ ledging the compliment by their actions, and was about to withdraw, when the applaudits were renewed with greater vigor. Mr. Kean handed his lady off the stage, and stepped forward, saying “ Ladies and Gentlemen—It is really difieult to express how gratified and flattered 4 Kean moda self feel, for the treated succnss that has attended | our visits to this city. 1 , your kindness lightens our labors, and makes our toil a’ pleasure. ith much | regret, | now bid you for three weeks, gratefully and re. specttully—farewell.” (Great applause.)

Mr.Gale was arrested and held in custody some three or four hours, and the facts were then ex- amined by Mr. Justice Osborne. Upon such examination, | it appeared that Mr. Gale was not only innocent of the charge,but that the property alleged to be embezzled was | his own; and if there was crime or fraud arising out of the transactien, it was designed by others that Mr. Gale should commit a fraud on New York merchants; and in consequence of his declining to do so, and being in possession of the letters of McAllister, this prosecu- tion was commenced witha view to frighten him into | some compromise—the consequence was, Mr. Gale was discharged, and Mr. McAllister has not since been seen.

So soon as this no- | mination was made, one of the field officers imme objected to the meeting, on the ground that it w: gally called. It was then revealed that a meeting choice ot tain should be called, at least, three days before the election, whereas the warnings which had convened this were served only the day previous. The chairman and his friends took’exceptions to this, on the ground that as the notices were dated fourdays previous the meeting was legal. ‘They accordingly proceeded to vote, and Stephen Bushel was taninenaly ‘chosen Cap- tain.

James on Bennett, of Arlington House, Long Island, rrival in this city on his way to Illinois, at the request of Goy. Ford, we noticed op Friday last. Gen. Bennett is the military head of the Mormon church, and stands ina very important position between the people generally and the saints. The occasion which brought us in contact with this di distinguished gentleman of our city from a cousin of the late Mormon Prophet, Joseph Smith, detailing some hitherto secret and very interesting intelligence. This put into our hand, with permission to u Gen. Bennett hearing of tt, that was going on, there being some counter currents even within te circuit of the especial children of God The Jetter before us, after detailing the acts of the peo. ple up to Oct, 3, states :— “That the Mormons are to be paid for the property de- stroyed, and they are to leave the State in the spring and go to California, but this is not publicly told. They have had three emissaries out exploring the country, and they have returned.

McLaughlin were charged parately, and were always examined by him when they were presented to him for Banas _all the articles fur- Dished by me for the uso of the hospital were always re ceipted for by the surgeon of the hospital. i By the Juper Apvocatx.—I don’t know how long it was after the government lumber arrived when it was returned; I opened my store on Indian Key in the first part. I think, of November; I resided at St. Augustine be- fore I went to Indian Key; the body of the building I erected on Indian Key was about 20 feet square, with a iazza on either side, and it was a story and a half high; don’t know that | can give the cost of the building, hav- away from the Key at the time; | presume it is generally known on Indian Key that the title of thé land is in dis- pute; it was a pre-emption right or claim. By the Jupce Apvocare—I furnished Lieut. Mc- Laughlin with canoes ; I procured the two first lots of canoes ; I think about’ eighty-five or ninety, at Savan- nah ; [cannot recollect dates ; | procured them at dif: terent times ; the most of the balance | procured in St. Augustine ; there were some scattering from Charles- ton; those’ purchased at Savannah were from a Mr. Wylie ; don't recollect his christian name ; the other parcel I purchased from a Mr. McMullen, at Savannah, whose christian name I do not, also recollect ; those I purchased at St. Augustine were got from Mr. Robert Mlickler, and one from Mr. Backlor, at Charleston the other parcel of them were made under my own super- intendence ; the first parcel I paid Mr. Wy! $85 apiece for; the second I paid Mr. McMullen $65 apiece ; I think all the rest was about the same, except one parcel ; I paid Robert Mickler $65 a piece ; those | superintended myself | do not remember what they cost; this was not the whole cost for the canoes; my time and expenses of travelling were spent in procuring them ; 1 was in busi ness at St. Augustine, and it was a busy season with me ; my time was very yaluable to me; I spent one entire summer in procuring the canoes; | travelled through Carolina and the lower part of Georgia twice in endea- voring to procure them ; I had agents employed in both places to procure them ; the agents in Charleston were employed by Capt. McGee, of that place ; | have not my books or bills of those canoes with me; I accompa- med Assistant Surgeon Hopkinson to Charleston to pro cure medical supplies before I was employed by the Government ; the drugs and medicines he bargained for, and [ went with him for the purpose of paying for them; I cannot give the amount ; I know I paid for them ; there were also some articles, such as medicine chests bought, and I paid for them ; these bills were made out by my: self,in my name, probably at my own suggestion ; I have not the bills with me } I transported the medicines in my own vessel, and returned before Dr. H., who pro- ceeded farther North, to obtain surgical instruments that he could not get in Charleston. He returned inthe mail packet Hayne, to the Key; 1 did not charge the government freight for carrying these articles Tf advanced money for; 1 charged the. govern. ment an advance upon these articles of, perhaps, 24 to 30 per cent; I had a list of those goods paid for ie me ; [ cannot tell what would have been the insurance upon these stores ;-1 applied for an insurance upon my vessel some months afterwards, and was refused ; she was a new vessel ; this vessel was at all times manned and navigated by men in my own employ ; not to my knowledge did men in the employ of the government ever aid in navigating her; I was not directed by Dr. Hopkinson to go to Charleston, but was going there at the time, and suit my own convenience. Bythe Courr.—I was to receive from Lieut. McLaugh- lin, for the canoes, §150 each, on my delivery of them at the Key, and he was to pay the freight ; the was no stipulation as to the freight ; the vessel was to be chartered by me on tho best terms; the schooner Badger was about 71 tons, and carried about 400 barrels ; the Medium was chartered by myself, and she belonged to Captain McGee, of Charleston ; the usual time the Badger went from Savannah to Indian Key was from eight to ten days; the Hayne took about the same length of time ; I’ procured | Charleston; there was a verbal agreement between | Lieut. McLaughlin and myself, but no written contract to furnish goods ; the first parcel of canoes Lieutenant McLaughlin requested me to get for him, there was no price fixed upon ; I found so much trouble and expense in getting them, he did not set a price ; | charged $150 each for them ; I could not, at that time, contract to get them at any price ; it was impossible to fix the price ; Lieut. McLaughlin wrote to me to procure more canoes, and at a less price, if possible ; I applied to the quarter master at St. Augustine to transport them, and | could not get them transported; the canoes were not to be paid for until they were safely delivered at Indian Key ; Lallude to two parcels of canoes; I agreed verbally with Lieut. McLaughlin to furnish the goods there at as low if not lower rates than they could be furnished on the Florida reef; there was no understanding between Lieut. rive any of the profits from those sales. In relation to the third inquiry contained inthe precept I do not know anything; there was a large number of items purchased of other persons charged to myself, and incorporated into my bills, a8 a matter of convenience to the disbursing of- ficer in the quartermaster’s department; this was a co mon practice in the other departments of the servic timple written order, and nota requisition, wen i, the surgeon, was sent to my store for articles; I dont kn what silk lithecures are charged in my bills; the bills doubloons at $16 each, and Spanish doubloons at $17 each; there was silver offered me but I preferred the doubloons as they were most convenient to send to Charleston; I received in Charleston for the Patriot doub- loons $16 50 each, and for the Spanish from $16 40 to $16 80; | have no knowledge what kind of money Lieut Mc- Laughlin took from the United States to Indian Key; 1 did at one time receive drafts on the Navy Department; they were accepted but not paid for want of funds; a large amount ($1400 and upwards) was paid in Spanish and Mexican doubloons.

On the opening of the door ofthe Court, the witness was asked if he still retained the desire to return to his home forthwith. It was likely there were some further matters that they might wish to examine him upon, but if must return, there was no rule com- pelling him to remain.

Agreeable to promise, I send you a short account | | of matters and things at this place. Last night, the | Lowell Guards, Capt. T—— held a levee at Went- worth Hall, and a grand affair it was. Never has Lowell shown at a festival a greater array of beauty | than was exhibited on this o¢casion. At an early hour the company assembled in the large and com- | | modious hall, decorated with the flags of the gallant | corps,and then commenced a scene such as has sel- dom been witnessed in this place. Among the most prominent of the fair, we noticed Miss P., whose charming expression and fairy-like movements: made her the observed of allobservers. Miss M — and sister of M——st looked very pretty. Miss: Ann, and Miss Augusta —— and her sister were the personification of the graces. We noticed Lieut. yeh of the Guards and lady, who, as one of the managers, done much to contribute to the comfort of the guests. Col. T——, Major M—, Lieuten- ant —— and several others, whose names we have forgot,were unceasing in their attention to the wants! of the ladies. Lieut. B—— of Salem, and several brother officers of his corps were present. Owing to the great number, the managers were obliged to divide the company in order to seat them at supper, whith was provided by Capt. M——. It was an ex- cellent one of the kind, yet, might have been much’ better. We feel under great obligations to Lieut. B—, Capt. T——, and Mr. V— and many others, for courtisies shown us during the evening. To the kindness of Major W. we were enabled to make our appearance a /a militaire, as a humble represen-’ | tative of the empire State. Everything passed offin the happiest manner, and when we left the nall at 2 this morning, the feet of the fair and brave stil. kept pace with the delighttul strains of music. There is not much news here. Business, howev- er, still continues brisk ; there is nothing in the way of amusements except a museum, which is in our opinion a nuisance. There has been quite a war of words between Major Levy of the Post Office and Col. S. of the Courier _ It seems the gallant Col wishes the advertising of letters, which the Major has given to S J.

Fropasce Murver or a Wire By Poisonina.— The criminal records of this county are likely, we understand, to be stained with the history of a transac tion parallel in kind, perhaps equal in enormity, to that for which Henry C. Green was recently executed ic Rensselaer county. Among the indictments found by the grand jury last week, was one against Milton Bra man, of the town of Hamilton, fer the murder of a forme: wife by poisoning. Braman was married less than a yeat since to the woman with whose death ke is charged.— She was then a resident in Sherburne, and owned at the time about thirty acres of land, the title to which her husband prevailed upon her, about two months previou: to her death, to convey to him, and which he afterward: sold. She was a woman of a delicate, sickly constitu tion, and of rather feeble intellect. Her death took place 16th August last ddenness, notwithstanding he» infirm health, occasioned considerable remark in the neighborhood. It was then thought that she died fror strangulation by worms, a quantity of which were | ejected from her stomach during a violent fit o vomiting just previous to her death. She was at tended in ‘her last sickness by a botanic physician. — On the 10th of September—less than one month from the death of his former wi ‘Braman was again married tc a Miss Green of this tow: ‘The suddenness of this new connection, with other material circum: | suspicions in the neighborhood where he reside was not RS there had been foul play connect with the death of his former wife.

It is said to have been in proof, among other things, that Braman, a short time beiore the death of his wife, purchased a quantity of ar. senic in Smyrna, and that he inquired of the whom he purchased it, as to the relative quan would extinguish animal and human life. Other circum. stances are matters of rumor, some of which are proba- bly unfounded, and others which, if true, it would per. haps be improper to make matters of newspaper publi- cation until they become judicially established. Bra, man was formerly, and until last spring, a resident of Brookfield, whence he removed into the town of Hamil. ton, near what is known as Colchester settlement. His present wife is said to be his fourth—he had been twice married within the last year. He had carefully concealed from his present wife the fact of his last previous mar- riage and the recent death of his late wile. About the time of the disinterment of the body, Braman sent back his wife with her effects to her former re: in this town; and, gathering his own property, proceeded tc the canal at Canastota, where he placed’ his goods or | board of a boat, and took’ passage in the cars for the West.
