' RK HERALD. day, September 25, 1846, whe Weekly Herald. We intend to illastrate the Weekly Herald of this week with the plan of the operations of General ‘Taylor on the Rio Grande. It is very perfect, and forms a key to the present movements of the army of invasion. This publication will contain, in addition to this ration, all the news of the week, and be rea- lv y at 8e’clock to-morrow morning. t of its contents :— Arleirs, embracing the Latest News from tl Her Refusal to negotiate for Peace untilour Ar.

Foralong time past a division has existed in the whig party, which once threatened disaster, and boded ll for its integrity. The division was brought about by a certain nameless philosopher, who has always affected to believe that by the present state of society, the masses are the dupes of afew wealthy lordlings; and as a remedy for the diseases that have brought about so lan able a state of things, he has embodied in his po! en tiv nd imperfectly digested schemes, isms, and rsion of this world of four contigents into nother Eden, that have been the offshoots of the merists and fancied political economists of the old world and the new. truggle between this faction and the whig per, has been long and violent, but has h resulted in favor of the isms, in the per- son of Joun Youna, of Livingston County. This gentleman was put forth by the ismites in 1on, as their candidate for Governor at the election; the whigs proper put forth their old tavorite, Miliard Fillmore, and the anti-rent por- tion of the party put forward Mr. Harris. The whigs proper showed more strength at the begin. ning than did the others, but on second balloting they diminished greatly, and on the third lost ground irretrievably. The following is the result of the balloting :— First ballot. Second. Thira. Millard Fillmore 55 61 45 John Young, . 44 76 Ira Harris........ 10 0 {t will be seen that the tsmite portion of the par- ty have triumphed over all opposition, and on the last ballot polled seventy-six votes out of one hun- dred and twenty-one—a victory as great as we believe it was unexpected by the great body of the whig party. This nomination places that portion of the par- | ty, represented bythe regulars, hors de combat, and stion next arises will that portion support as the legitimate candidate of the party ? ‘They have threatened to bolt the course if their candidate is rejected. If it go for Young, and if all should march under the banner of the fresh- ly nominated candidate, that party will be more united, and have a better prospect of carry- ing the State than ever before. The battle be- tween these factions has been violently waged for along time, and has distracted and disunited the that all hope of success the, locofocos was fruitless. If then they would unite they have a prospect next Fall. But jt is hardly possible that they will—the strug- so much, o gié has been too bitter, too personal—private and personal feelings and prejudices have | been indulged in too much, to give a hope to any one of any such result. The champiens and ad- herents of each have made it a personal matter, and having done so, it is unreasonable to suppose thatthe tomahawk can be buried and forgotten, and all sit down and smoke the calumet of peace within the time that will transpire, from the no. mination till the-month of November. This is more than can be expected of politicians, and particularly of whig politicians, who exceed their brethren of the democratic school in viru" lence and ill-feeling towards each other. here democrats use their huge paws, the whigs use the vocabulary of Billingsgate. There would be no room for doubting the course, the lo- cofocos would adopt under similar circumstances. We have only to look at their conduct on former Ceeasions, to find it. They would shake each other's greasy hauds—throw up their furless hats, and wildly dance through the halls and corridors ol the old wigwam with delight. They would, as they humorously say, “ sacrifice men for princi- ples,” and go heart and hand for the nominees put forth according to “democratic usage and regular nominations.” Not so, however, with the whigs, the majority of whom are distrustful of each other, and jeaous of the candidates of each. They are tainted too much with the lea- ven of aristocracy, to indulge in familiarities like these, andcarry their resentments with them to the ballot box. If, however, they should, at the eleventh hour, combine and march to the polls, a united and de- termined body, they will undoubtedly have a chance of electing their candidates, and will se- riously trouble the democrats—if they do not, the Empire State will remain in the hands of the de- mocrats for two years more at least. Again, if they docombine, the junction be- tween all the ismites will be complete, and hence- forth the whig party will be known and distin- guished asthe party of isms, composed of Fou- rier abolitionists, anti-capital-punishment men, bran-bread eating, hard cider drinking, and anti-tobacco-chewing men, of all colors, ages, na- tions, classes and conditions, from the small potato politicians of New York up to the big potato of all in the Union. Laus Deo. So Mormon War.—We learn from the St. Louis Republican of the 18th in hat a committee ed by the citizens of Quincy, had arrived at both camps ; that thoy had so far » ties for forty-o i vould be thus afforded for the adjustment of the matters #t issue between the two parties. Annexed is | code, all the fantastical, crude, abor- | s for the reformation of society, and for the | Vacrants—Wuat becomesor THEM ?—Wehave inserted in our columns the proceedings before Judge Edmonds, in the case of Eliza Phillips, a vagrant, committed by a polee-justice of the tombs. The opinion of Judge Edmonds sets forth the dangers and oppressions of police magistrates in cases of summary convicticns; more than three hundred summary convictions are now in force against persons who are on Blackwell's Is- land, undergoing punishment for real or supposed offences. This method ef doing business at the | tombs has led, it is said, to the greatest oppression and irregularities, The decision of the justice being final and con- clusive, no sooner has a person been convicted who has friends, than they run to an alderman for help and ask a discharge; he grants it, or not, just as the applicant has influence to bring into the scale of political action. One error leads to another, and we are credibly informed that more than one hundred and fifty persons were let loose from Blackwell’s Island the evening before our last spring election, and carried in squads to the wards in this city, and voted the next day at our city election for aldermen. We can name num bers, persons, and the actors in this illegal and wicked operation. But the greatest abuse is in sentencing the girls to the Island. What becomesof them after they are sent there? The fact is, the whole system is radically wrong. | Trovetes In THE Democratic Camp.—Every- thing is at present wrong among the hard-fisted democracy of this city. There seems to be any | number of screws loose. The huge-paws no lon- | ger grasp each other’s hands with friendly warmth as of yore, but are actually squaring off and mill- ing each other with all the fury of bitter enemies. | Even that harmony thathas hitherto existed amongst them, arising, according to certain dis- | tinguished statesmen, from the cohesive power of | something or other, we forget what, seems to have | become extinct. Several of the wards have split, | and the enemy rejoiceth in consequence. | In this distressing state of aflairs we feel called | Upon to interpose, and offer our sage and friendly | counsel. We advise the huge-paws, like good | children, to heal their differences, and agree to- | gether as of old—to attend the primary meetings | this evening, not with rancour at their hearts against their brother huge-paws, but to bear with | each other’s little infirmities in a spirit of forbear- | ance and christian charity. Thus shall the ene- | my not have cause to rejoice. Thus alone can | the huge-paws triumph. | Interesting from South America. By the bark Mazeppa, Captain Smith, which sailed on the 5th August, we have received intel- | ligence from Rio Janeiro to the 4th August in- | clusive. The news is somewhat interesting. The United States sloop-of-war Plymouth ar- rived at Rio on the 4th August from Montevideo, whence she sailed on the 22d July. She brought | intelligence that General Rivera was fortifying | the Porto das Vaccas, and that General Oribe | was about to abandon the department of Maldo- nado, in order to concentrate his forces for an at- tack on Rivera. The Brazilian brig Conde de 1homar, sailing from Santos with munitions of war, was captured | by the French brig Tactique, and carried into Montevideo. The English packet Spider arrived at Rio on the 8d instant, from Montevideo. The Brazilian frigate Constitution was to sail on the 12th of August for Plymouth, England. Sr. Joa Pascoe Grenfell, chief of the squadron, will | goin her with all his family,and will reside at | Mr. | Hamilton Hamilton, minister plenipotentiary from | Great Britain, sails for home in the same_ vessel, | | owing to the bad state of his health. | | From the Jornal de Comercio of the 1st ultimo, | we learn that the United States frigate Constitution | would sail on the 5th of August positively for | home, and would give convoy to all vessels des- | tined to American ports. | From Montevideo, news had been received a | day or two later than that previously given in our columns, as received by the arrival of the | | Black Hawk at this port. The conditions proposed | hy Mr. Hood, the Commissioner of the French and | | English governments, to the Argentine republic, | were, Ist. The evacuation of the Montivedean | territory by the Argentine troops; 2d. A free elec- tion of deputies in the city and country; 3d. Their | meeting, when elected, at a neutral point, for the purpose of choosing a President, apart from ail influence of contending parties; 4tn. The ac.) knowledgment of such President by all parties, of | whoever should be chosen, whether Oribe or any other; and 5th. Stipulations for recipocal faith in | favor of the belligerents. A confidential letter re- | ceived at Rio states, however, that Mr. Hood is only charged with the duty of present.ag the ba- sis of a negotiation, which must afterwards be | ratified by the ministers at Montevideo. By all | accounts, the arrival of Mr. Hood was considered | as the turning point of the war. General Rivera was still at the Vaccas. The soldiers taken prisoners by him had enlisted in | | his service. A despatch from home had directed | Rivera to return to Montevideo, for the purpose of taking measures in a new campaign. Gen. fax was at Assumption, and treated with | | great regard by President Lopez. | Sr. Antonio Ignacio, President of the Depart- | ment ot Pernambuco, had been appointed Go- | vernor of the Province of Bahia. | THE Convo!

M., about 40 miles north of Smith’s Island, by the U.S. frigate Constitution, from the Pacific,via Rio Janeiro, and taken in tow, and was to make for the nearest port. We since learn that the pilot boat Hackstaff spoke on the 2Ist inst., off Cape Henlopen, the U.S. ship Constitution, who stated that they had given the U. 8S. brig Washington in charge of a Delaware pilot boat. The Constitution was bound to Boston. U. 8. brig Washington arrived at Philadelphia yesterday. Annexed is a list of the names of those who were lost :— Lieut Bache, of Philadelphia ; Berry Dolloff, Western New York; James Dolsey, John Fishburn, Samuel Schroeder, Peter Hanson and Edw. Grennan, all of New York city ;—~ Consul, of Philadelphia ; Wm. Stanford, Charlestown, Mass ; two colored servants ; Francis But- ler and Lewis Maynard, Tue Carerrit.aR anp THE Corron Crop.— We are indebted to a friend of James Roach, Esq. an extensive cotton planter of Clinton, Miss., for the following letter addressed to him by that gen- tleman, and also for a glass containing some spe- cimens of the insect which has committed so much devastation with the present cotton crop. The naturalist and the curious, in such matters, can see the specimens in our editorial office. The following is a copy of the letter :— Cuinron, Miss., Sept. 10th, 1946, T have little to communicate now beyond the terrible ravages the caterpillars have made, and are still making in the cotton crop. I have seen many accounts in the papers, but none of them have come up to the sad reality. Asistand in my own door, which commands a view of one of my own fields, and those of two or three of my neighbors, the rows can be distinctly counted, and where a week ago, you could see a mass of green leaves and white and red blossoms, all is now as brown as if a hard frost had occurred, and not a sign is left of leaf or blossom. It ig absolutely impgasible to predict the extent of the damage, for now, as the es are gone, they have commenced eating i jow on my table, some bolls nearly as ‘a small hen egg, completely eaten out. A week ago | thought I would have made 70 bales on one field, now if I gather 25,1 shall do more izes, those that aro full long, and an eighth of an the appearance of fine thread through the nd two similar stripes on the sides. the belly, which is light rage e y small white spots, like ey: head is orange color, sprinkled with black spots; near the head are three pair of very fine claws, which point forward, and seem to assist in feeding ; there are three pair of short legs,on which it moves, and the hinder end is forked into two feet, with which it holds while it changes its posi- tion, and then moves forward, by sParoately nding its body in acurve, and then straightening itself out. Alter sometime it spins a web on a leaf, and rolls itself up,where it undergoes achange. The color becomes brown, and the form is like the twisted end of a mall cigar, the small end of which is attached to the by aweb. In this state it has a small motion of itself although unable te move from place to place. Whatits next next change will be I cannot tell. 1 send you herewith some specimens of the moth or fly produced from the chrysalis of the caterpiller. I hope that the learned of your city will examine the insect, for an insect that has within three months royed crops to the amount of millions of dollars, is surely a fit subject for examination. Since commencing this letter! have visited my field, and find many of the little shells empty, the fly having matured and taken flight. [am now making a collection of the worm in all its stages, which { will send you. I hope that you will be able togetsome information about it. The nearest description | find is in Dr. Wilson’s work, under the name of “span worm,” theugh that is not exact. The other evening | caught a beautiful moth, nearly three inches aeross the wings, and about the same length ; the wings at the end were spiral shaped, and were a beautiful canary Freen, with a dark border on the end, end a spot like a leaf inthe centre.

John Banim’s beautiful play of “ Damon and was produced last evening, in such style, as ithas seldom been our good fortune to have seen it performed. Mr. Forrest's Damon, if not altogether with- out blemishes, is certainly the greatest part in which we have yetseen him, With the exception of a taint of me lo-drama in some few pi 8, it was really one of the most effective performances we have ever seen. His im- mense physique he turned to e: account, and the frightful energy that marked dition of some of the most striking passages, brot down thunders of ap- plause. We cannot speak too highl of Mr. Dy ott’s Py- thias. We much mistake if Me. eae ae before long, take a leading rank in his mn. His’ style in chaste, forcible, and finished, his conception and act ing are always in excellent taste. . Hunt’s Hermion was better than usual, and Mrs; Abbott's Calanthe was impassioned and truthful. T Mr. Forrest takes his benefit. He will appear beth ; Mrs. Hunt playing Lady Macbeth, and Mr. Dyott Macduff. The ouse will, of course, be crowded. Bowery Tueatee.—The “Comedy of Errors,” the ope- ra of “Brother and Sister,” and the drama of “Raymond and Agnes,” will be given to-night, for the last time, be- ides a variety of songs, dances by the Misses Vallee, &c. We learn, from good authority, a negotiation{is on foot, that will likely result in an engagement, at the Bowery, of the great artiste Mrs. Shaw, who has net ap- peared before a New York public for near upon an entire ear. Should this engagement be carried into effect, ir. Jackson may safel (Regier upon an uninterrupted run of great business, no rivalship, at any other house can disturb. Garenwicn’ Toeatae.—There | is a glorious bill put forth by Mr. Freer, this evening, at this theatre, compri- sing three sterling pieces, which are certain to be per- formed in the first style, by his talented corps drama. tique. The evening will commence with the comedietta of the “ New York Milliners” or Out for the Day. “The or the Fiend of Burgundy, and the farce of the Widow's Victim,” will afterwards be produced. In the two latter, Mr. Freer, Mr. Stevens, and Miss Mary Duff, will take the principal characters, ‘and the others are cast to the whole strength of the com- pany. Since Miss Dufl’s connexion with this theatre, as become a great favorite with its patrons. W. must expect to see avery large house here this jing. Ow Dit.—That Mr. Freer, the enterprising manager of the Greenwich Theatre, has on hand a beautiful nation- al and domestic sketch, by a young gentleman of this city, entitled “Revenge.” We hope soon to see it. Mr. Nearix.—We would call the attention of the thea- tre going public to the fact, that Mr. Neafie, of the Bow. ery Theatre, will take his benefit on Saturday evening next Those who have frequented the Bowery Theatre during the present season, know what obligations they are under to Mr. Neafie, for the many treats of excellent acting that he has afforded them; and we trust he will have an audience commensurate with his deserts. Let ‘ive him tangi- ble proof of the respect in which he is held. Caste Garvex.—This place continues to receive its accustomed amount of patronage, and is nightly resorted to by a large proportion of our pleasure seeking citizens, The inimitable performances of the buffo troupe of Ethi- opians on the banjo, bones, tambourine, kc., combined with the beautiful singing of Mr. Holman, the dancing of Mr. Goodwin, and the magnificent and brilliant dis of Chinese fire works and Lvii i tractive to draw full rs visiting the city, very interesting and amusing p Bowery AmrmitHeatar.—If there were no other at traction than the wonderful performances of the Acro- bat Family at this popular place of amusement, they would be sufficient, in themselves, to fill the house night- ly.

Hance Par xG.—Thore was a pacing match over the Harlem Park Course yesterday, in which four pacers of little celebrity, were advertised to go,viz: b.g. General Taylor, bl. g. Black Rock, br. g. Smoker, bl D. Broderick. The horses were to go under the po , mile heats, best three in five. D.C. Broderick, how- ever, was not on the track, and the other three went with- out him. The purse was won by General Taylor in there straight heats. The timo was tolerably good—one of the — being done in 2. 39—the others in the forties—full miles. Medical Intelligence. Coutece or Dentar Sunceny, Battimons.— We have received the seventh annual announcement of the Facul ty of this College, which shows a very satisfactory stale of prosperity in their novel attempts. It is, we believe, the only institution of the kind in the country, and one which should, from its very nature, meet with extensive patrotage. There are too many ignoramuses who call themselves dentists, against whom the workings of an | | institution like this wilTTezve but small scope ; and, deed, there is uo reason why an operator upon the t should not have to attend a ‘re course of lectu and pursue a course of study, as well as he who opera upon a leg oranarm.

Mr. Frexcu objected, on thé ground that the report ‘was at present incomplete ; that It would be completed in a day or two ; and then he would consent to have any number of copies they pleased printed. Mr. McSreppen moved to have five times the usual number printed. Mr. Davres was also in favor of giving it the utmost publicity. After a desulto: Lee, and others, conversation between Messrs.

Upon Mr Vallat going to the Tomi ct the appointed time! snd on passing up the front steps in the vestibule, he observed a man whom he took from his a) to be Mr. Alker, instead of which he the accused “ Terhune.” Mr. Vallat then asked him if he. was the counsel for Amili, the yo man in » and also if his name was Alker, all of which Terhune answered to in the af- firmative. Terhune then remarked that he had been re- tained as counsel, but wanted $19 to secure his services, toenable him to do justice to hisclient. Mr. Vallat then paid him Cenem $10, thinking all the time he was conversing and deal: with the real Mr. Alker. How- ever, upon being intro to the legit ir.

It appears from the testimony of the girl, that the accused last night entered her bed room and locked the dooratter him, got into bed and endeavored to violate her person. The mother coming home that evening rather late, went to the girl’s room, and en finding the door locked, with the voi of two inside, atonce demanded an entrance, not imagit for a moment that her son was the bone of contention.

Before Chief Justice Hornblower, and Judges John Tonnellé, junr, James M*Donnell, John Griffith, John G. Speer, C. Van Winkle, and Geo. C. DeKay. FIFTRENTH DAY, Mr. Wi.tiamson continued his remarks, contending thatthe prisoner was insane ; he commented upon the course pursued by counsel for the State, in calling upon them to vindicate the State of New Jerse: nding the prisoner guilty. The learned counsel had, he con tinued, a profound reverence and regard for his native State, and looked upon her institutions with the deepest feelings of offeciton; and while he felt a profound interest in her upholding the high character which she had al- ways maintained, he trusted thata New Jersey jury would never let it be said that brid tap Jip an insane man to a premature gi Allusio: , alse, been made to th t of Judge Spencer’s having aided coun- selin the defence of the prisoner. Tue Associate Counse. followed, and after stati lieeman of the Ist tle Tom He a , Whom Dr. Perry tl boring State, went on to say that the prisoner was a vic- tim of a foul conspiracy upon the part of Richardson and the friends of the deceased. Where a man’s wife was the victim of a libertine, was it not eneugh to drive him to insanity—the entire conduct of this para- mour, in connection with his wife ? they had many ways of proving the insanity of the prisoner, beside the ma: ner in which they had done. They could have come in- tocourt and falsely admit the innocence of Richardson, and state that the prisoner had acted under a delusion, and say, that this was all fancy, ell delusion ; but th (the defence) would not come into court in this manner ; they would show the whole case, le: and breadth, in order to enable the jury to fully understand’ it. After recapitulating the facta, and going over the testimcny at length, and contendimg that the prisoner had been fully proved tobe insane, he went on to cite a voluminous mass of law authority to support the ground assumed by the sdefence, next directed the attention of the Court to the exciting cause connected with the case of the prisoner. Dr. Brigham’s testimony went to show that an exciting cause would lay the foun- dation for a paroxy! There was areal cause operati: upon the mind of the prisoner for months betore the futal tragedy. The strongest minds upon the jury, and the stoutest hearts upon it, would be moved by what the un- fortunate prisoner had been subjected to for a long tiod of time. In the winter of 1844-6, the prisoner Fe came acquainted witha Mr. Richardson. The marriage was privately performed. They went to Buffalo, and both the mother and tay allowed the e son prisoner and his wife to go for a fortnight together—not knowing they e same time. The; were married at th York—the moth allowed the pri: Col cer returns to New York, and tinds his wi and his mother, in a house furnished by son—Mr. Dobbin and his mother having no means of sub- sistence. Subsequently, Mr hora comes to Jersey City, and finds Mra. Dobbin and her son there, in May.— From that time frequent paroxysms arose, when the mind of the prisoner became affected—a state of facts arose upon this that would craze the mind of the strong- est man upon the jury. It was to draw his wife from this polluted roof, that aroused the mind of the unfortunate prisoner. He had had reason to doubt the fidelity of his wife ; he found that she had been given a shawl by this Richardeyn. He finds his wile in the room of Richardson, at No.2.Park Row. These facts pressed upon his mind daily, and he importunod and threatened, aud carried this fatal pistol—all the time being insane in his mind — They found the unfortunate young man, aft turned out of doors—his trunk thrown upon the stoop, and every aggravation used towards him—they found him actually going down on ning to be let io, There was curious feature, too, in this part that when tue prisoner wanted to e wta nim, Mrs. Dobbin e: claimed, “ if © goes, what am I to do.” Chis expression conve: import woul, at first 6 port sir Dobbin or itr Richardson, Chey found th ment the eve f this fatal tragedy, and askis watehmen why they delayed the warrant so long ; ardson, the most important wit that could be produ- ‘ed. @ good deal more than m tu indicate; who would Dobbi ced on the part of the State, was not brought forward ; this very Richardson who had set the ly up here in Jersey city, it could not be doubted had todo in the plot. The Court here adjourned, and counsel will pac yeas 4 his remarks this forenoon. ‘The Attorney Veneral follow. Court of Common Pleas. for old and delivered. The sum in 917.

After an of we dari: hich 1 made veges een tat tes The and , as Tan ited, the Convention con- tinuing its sitting, the prospect now of ter- mingung the Convention ‘about the 6th of next month. Upon examining their proceedings, and after conversing with some of the most intelli- gent members, the impressions left onmy mind are— Ist. That a body of men better suited to enter upon the task for which they were elected, could not, in the present state of society, be reasonably expected to becollected for a similar purpose. 24, That when they met at the commencement of the session, they were unacquainted with each other’s gpowers, peculiar capacities, and views, and much less with the mageeece and impor-* tance of the subjectupon which they were dele- gated to consider and decide. 3d. That hitherto they have had barely time to acquire this preliminary knowledge, that it is probable, at the close of the session, they may be sutliciently experienced in these matters to be- gin a second session with a fair prospect, at its termination, to recommend to the citizens of the State of New York, a constitution, on the unchanging laws of hut , as created in the formation of each individual at birth, by the great Creating Power of the universe; a constitution, the laws of which shall be in undeviating accord- ance with those eternal fundamental principles of Petigeras on which —— can a virtuous, per- manently prosperous, and hay state of socie ever be ‘petablldhed.. 7 tig a. 4ih. Thatit will be most unreasonable on the part of the citizens of the State of New York to expect the Convention in this mere preliminary session to recommend for their adoption anythin; more than an honest attempt to mend and pate up, the best they could, the old constitution, waich they have discovered has been based on false fundamental principles, which, how ever varied in practice, can never lead to any permanent beneficial results. 5th. That the citizens of the State of New York, with the enormous advance made in the incalen- lable amount of scientific porrem for the produc- tion of wealth within the last half century, and the now ascertained knowledge of the value ofa good practical training and education from birth, with the advantages to be derived from arrange- ments that shall secure permanent beneficial and productive employment for all who may desire it, and a just distribution of this wealth when so created, cannot be expected to be now so igno- rant of their true interests as to accept any offered constitution that shall not ensure to them and their children these rights,which flow direct to all the citizens of the Unien, from the profoundly en- lightened Declaration of Independence. 6h, hat to an impartial observer, uncon- nected with any class, sect or party, in any coun- try, but deeply interested for the well-doing, pros- perity and happiness of all, in every country, it appears that the best practical measure that can be now adopted, is for the present Convention to be authorize by the State Legislature to re- new their sitting for another session, to com- mence after a reasonable recess; and that it be called upon to consider and decide upon a new constitution, based on the principles of humanity, as declared by the unchanging laws of God, an which shall well place, well educate, well em- ploy, and well govern each citizen from birth, in order that there shall be no | ae no poverty, no bad habits, or necessity for more punishments ina State in which all the means superabound now to obtain beneficiully for all, these superior practical results. Ifthe citizens of the State ef New York accept aconstitution that will not secnre for them these advantages in perpetuity, they will continue to be irrational. Rosert Owen. Atnany, New York, Sept 24, 1846. Court of Ge.eral Scssions. Before Recorder Scott and Aldermen Stoneall and Foote John MiKeon Esq,, District Attorney. Trial and Conviction of Moses French.— At the opening of Court rertertey. lores French, (whose name has so frequently been before the public in connection with aden of infamy, kept by him, at No 3123; Water street.) was placed at the bar for trial, on a charge of robbery in the first degree, in being concerned with two girls of town, named Frances Thompson and Mai Robin- son, in seizing a German named Daniel r, and forci bly taking from him his watch and $18 in money, on the night of the 20th February last. On the part of the prosecution, the testimony of Daniel Miller, as taken de bene esse, was first read in’ evidene 3 from which it appeared that Miller and a night in question, were induced by a couple ls enter the house kept by French; that after of some liquor, Miller went up stairs with one of the girls, named ‘'hompson ; that sometime after ha had gone to bed with the girl ‘Thompson, Mary Ann Robinson and re French entered the room, when the two last namod per- 1 Miller, and forcibly held him, whilo the girl ‘on, took the money and watch from him ; that 10 took his coat ; after which he was turned out of and the door closed after him ; where: iately called the watch ; and several policemen accordingly repaired to the spot. but after repeated effurta were unable to gain admittance into the house. Officer Axpenson of the 4th district police, en Leing sworn, deposed as follows, viz:—While { was stand: ing with another policeman on my post, about 2 o’clock on santas. Ref the 15th of February last, we heard the cry of * Watch.” Officer Cole and myself proceeded asfaras 31234 Water street, kept by the prisoner; we found two Germaus, who intimated that one of them had been robbed in French’s house ; in consequence of which we knocked at the door several times with our clubs, but were unable to gain admittance ; the lights had then all been put out; we then took the two Germans to the sta- tion house forthe night, and before Justice Merritt,when they made affidavits to what had ired in relation to meh age _ fn wet poco ingly. issued, with which we went tothe house of French, accompanied b; Miller and his friend. On entering the fA six prostitutes were found sitting in the bar room; none of them, however, were c' by the complainants with having in any way participated in the rob! , but behergpadad rex J up stairs, two girls came down, and were imme %, recognized by the Germans as the girls who had French in the rovbe: We found Miller’s coat in the room which the girl Thompson said she occupied, the watch key was fe ed up in the reom where the robbery is alleged to have been committed. The two Germans, on seeing French at the Tombs in the pease lee pe ident him as the person who as- sisted girl Robertson in holding him down while Frances Thompson took the monsy. Officer Coxe, also of the 4th ward, on being called, fully corroborated the facts testified to by officer Ander- ‘son. S. Warner, Erq., conducted the case on the of the accused with great ability. The District nAtlorney then summed up on the part of the prosecution, and the jury after a brief absence, found the prisoner guilty of grand larceny only. The Court remanded the priso- ner to await his sentence. Plea of Guilty.— A person ef respectable arance, named eee tease, indicted for bal dorged the | name of J. H.
