Charge of False Pretences.—Officer Prince John Da- vis, of the Lower Police, arrestea, eerney, @ man by the name of Jobn Hanna, doing business formerly at No. 72 William street, on a warrant issued by Justice Drink- er, wherein he stands charged with obtaining, in Septem- ber, 1846, # bill of morchundive, consisting of silks, &o. amounting to $2,232, from the firm of Samuel Down Jr., silk importer, then doing business at No. 134 Pearl street, by false and fraudulent representations. It ap- pears that since the above transaction Mr. Downer died, and Mr. Robert G. Fairchild, one of the firm, makes the complaint, setting forth, in his affidavit, that the accus- ed applied to them"tor credit, stating, at the time, that he was perfectly solvent, and showed his books, which, upon the face of them, made him out doing a good busi- ness and solvent. ir. Downer refused to them a written state- ment, showing clearly the solvency of the concern. Con- sequently, in order to prooure the credit, the following statement was written and sent to Mr. Downer: — New Yorx, Aug. 20th, 1846, To Mr, Sem'l Downer, Jr. : Dear sir—Agreeably to our request I here state for your satisfaction, on the 15th day of July last past, | bad asurplusin my business over and above my indebted- ness, taking my stock at cost, and what were not con- sidered worth cont, marked down to a fair market value, independent of what is charged to profit and loss —the sum, ot the risk of my business, of elghteen thousand seven hundred and fifty-two dollars—say $18,752 64. Yours, respectfully, JOHN HANNA.

The following month (October) Hanna failed in business, declaring himself an entire bankrupt, indebted some $65,000, on which amount he stated he was only able to pay twenty cents on the dollar. Mr. Fairchild has since ascertained, that the accused was in- solvent at the time of making the above representations, by which Mr. Fairchild alleges he has been defrauded out of the merchandise thus obtained. Justice Drinker held the accused to bail in the sum of $3000, to answer the charge at Court. The case is to be turther investi- gated on Tuesday next, before the magistrate.

Law Intelligence. { Surenion Count—Before Judge Oakley—Joseph Lopez ‘Dias vs Henry Wannaker—The jury rendered a verdict in this case for the defendant. Before Judge Sandford—Russel Sturgis vs George W. Staples—This was an action to recover $135, the rice of sixteen logs of timber, alleged to be delivered y the plaintiff to defendant at bis store in New Haven, Conn. The defence set up was as follows: In the sum. snm of 1845, the defendant entered into an agree- ment with Messrs. Page and Bachelor, who reside in the interior of this State, to sendthim fifty logs of ash, to be delivered at his wharf at New Haven before the close et the navigation, at four months credit—-28 of the logs only were deitvered, leaving twenty-two logs to be accounted for. In consequence of this breach of the agreement the dofendant claimed damage for having his mills and work Sores. A new agreement was then en- tered fnto between ties, or rather the uld one was modified in (bis way: Page & Baobelor were to ‘deliver suventy logs (in which the twenty-two left behind on the old contract, were to be includ ‘upon the same terms as those contained fm the first agreement. The plaintiff, who had some connexion with Page & Bachelor, wrote to defendant, stating that he would fulfil the last agree. ment, and requi ivy bed be informed, would he, defend- ‘fant, receive the logs from him? ‘The defendant wrote him an answer that he would, on the same terms on which Page & Bachelor were to deliver them. The plaintiff went on then to deliver timber, but only delivered sixteen logs, for the priow of which the present action is brought, The defendant's counsel insisted that both contracts were made between Page & Bachelor, and the defendant that plaintiff wes knowm only as the ageot of Page & Baohelor in the modified contract; that the terms of both contracts were four months credit and that neither of them buying been completed, the euit was premature and could not be maintained. The plaintift 's countel insisted that, the transaction betwsen plaintiff and defendant was dintinet and separate from that be- tween the defendant and Page & Bachelor, and relied upon the correspondence thut passed between plaintiff and defendant, to sustain his view of the case. Judge Sandford said that delivery of the sixteen logs a! New Haven was proved, aud the only question the jury had to decide, was whether these logs were delivered by Sturges under the contract between the defendant and Page & Bachelor im 1845, It was said on the part of the plaintiff, in reference to the letters roduced here, that they show the logs were de: Eeered, under @ different contract; both the contract sod the letters are before you, and it is for you to say whether they livered under the contract or the letters. were delivered on it aud Page & Bachelor. you ought to find for defendent, but if ‘7 believe they wore delivered pursuant to the letters, without reference to the terms in the first contract, then you should find for plaintiff On the otber hand, ifyou should_find that the timber was delivered under the letters, you should then take into consideration whether thel of had re. ference to the terms contained in Page & Bachelor's agreement, and yee are of opinion they had, and the logs wore to be delivered subject to these terms, then you ought to find for defendant Verdict tor defendant.

The book was very large, and nicely got up; I asked him to show me some of the certificates of State stock; he Speers reluctant to do so. On being pressed by me, he brought out what purported to be @ mortgage on a granite store in Boston, but I was not satisfied with its apearance; | again called his attention to the certificates of State steck.

Your letter of the 10th, and its en- closures, came to me to-day, and I hasten to reply. None of the articles to which you allude had met my notice, Bryant sendto me thesemi-weekly Post, 1 therefore, that my opinions on the sub- Jeot of the Wilmot Proviso had become » matter of news paper discussion. I certainly was not aware that they could be matter of dispute or doubt. I have not been ambitious to promulgate my opinions em this or any public subject; but | have not, et any time, as you are a double witness, withheld the expression of them upon this subject when culled upon to express them. Ifthe question: had been propounded to me at any pe- riod of my public life, aball the arms of the Union be em- ployed to conquer, or the money of the Union be used to purchase territory now constitutionally free, for the pur- of planting slavery upon it, I should have answered, jo! And this answer to this question iathe Wilmot Proviso, as | understand it. Iam surprised that anyone should suppose me capable of entertaining any othor opinion or giving any other answer as to such @ proposi- tion, The two conversations to which you allude, the one had with yourself at Major Flagg’s, and the other held at the boarding house of Messrs. Townsend, Small, Stewart and Keyser, are fresh in my recollection, and in both of whioh I expressed frankly, the opinions { enter- tained, both in relation to the Proviso and Col Young’s resolutions, and those opinions were decidedly favorable both. I have repeatedly stated in such conversations, and I think I did to you, in the conversation at Major Flagg’s, that Mr. King in’ making himself the author of the movement at the last session of Con; ) had acted without any consultation with me: and that if I could have had my personal choice, I should have preferred that he would have left that to some other person, be- cause it would be and was charged that he was acting from motives not avowed, and through my impulsion Yet that I had no complaint to make against Mr. King, and no right to ask him to yield his sense of duty to my personal wishes, because | knew his opinions and the strength of his feelings upon that subject, and was there- fore satisfied that he was acting from the most sincere, conscientious convictions of right, and that | considered his movement right in iteelf, and sound in principle. 1 am surprised at the Giobe articles, as, with the ex- ception of such remarks as I: have just iepeated, as to Mr. King’s being the mover of the viso, | can have said nothing from which any man could infor any disap- probation ou my partof Mr. King’s course, and I trust these remarks cannot properly be denominated a disap- probation of his act, much less of bis proposition I have marked this letter “ private” toshow that it is not intended for publication, but I wish you to show it to Mr. Bryant. At the same time, | wish to say to you and to him that when it can be properly avoided, | pre- fer not to have my personal opinions upon any’ public question made the subject of discussion in the public Papers. It is impossible to separate such discussions, in the public mind. from an impression either that the in- dividual himeelf wishes Lis opinions promulgated, or that his friends promulgate them because they think they will influence others: whilst if there is a dispute about what opinions are really entertained, the implica- tion to many minds is that contradictory opinions have been expressed. 1 know it is not, in this case, my friends who are promulgating my opinions, but that they are trying to correct erroneous opinions im- puted to me My only object, therefore, in this Temark, is to request that the subject may be dis- posed of, so far as ir, Bryant and yourrelf shall think it ye erg without @ protracted discussion. It may 9 clowed before you get thin; but if not, | suggest that Mr. Bryant should say in « very summary way, that he has no knowledge of who the‘ warmest and moat sin- cere friends of Governor Wright” are, referred to by the Globe, but that he speaks from evidence that prover them mistaken as to the opinions of that jeman upon this subject ; that he is opposed in Princ ple to the conquest or purchwse of territory, now free, pose of ieoerporatiog slay an pe of ing 8 4 deci sppropriation is asked to purchase the terri: that such « {declaration, made at such » time, inopposttion to the administration, walvss it be tbat the administration wishes to aa the territory for the extension of slavery, in whi think the administration 'eohg, ead the decisration right. Something like this, think, would end the matter or to, and I have no idea of bring out the names referred think there are any sudh for upon it; that he tl i jare that principly, when an the latter, because I do not “et to be giree , ‘ou may think me over sensitive upon this subject. am #0, as to the appearance of a Wisk to i oe ee wy opinions before the public.

Ihave beet long time under the cares and responsibilities of high office, and I did net know what a relief it would be to find myself again a free man. 1 scarcely yet realize the sensation, and a resumption of those caresand re- sponsibilities is already a feerful and unpleasing thought, So far from experiencing regret at my discharge, taking into consideration the manner of it also, | find it has made me happier than [ had hoped to be, and | have no desire to try again in the hope of a better termination.

And first, the route Proposed: It ie to commence at New Haven, cross the Connecticut at Middletown, pass through Windham and Hampton, and strike the eastern boundary of the State, near the northeast corner of Killingly. A petition is now pending before the Rhode Island Logislature, for permission for its continuation through a portion of that State. All the reat of the line, so far as legislative ac- tion in the matter of charters is concerned, is perfectly secured. The nature of the ground along the route, is sald to be well calculated to furnish a firm and durable road-bed, while the obstructions of rook are such as can be removed with comparative ease. The Connecticut is the only water of any importance along the route, aud this isto be crossed by bridge. Tho matter of gra- dients, sscents and descents, and curvatures, is consi- dered and shown to present no obstacle worth mention- ing. The cost of the entire route between the two cities, including « complete outfit of cars, engines, &o.,1s est! mated $2,565,000 or $30,865 42 per mile. Tho entire distance is 210 or 211 miles, the distance from NewHa- ven to the eastern line of the State 62 and 1-10th miles One advantage possessed by this route over all others, and which must impart to it ® permanent superiority, is ite remarkable directness. It is the shortest route be- tweon the two greatest commercial cities of our country, being twenty-five miles less than any other. Another advantage is, that it will form a mode of communication between the east and west portions of the State of Con- neotieut, the want of which has caused very much o this intercommunination to pass either over the wate: of the Sound, or b; ircuitous railway route in Massa. dan important one, may be found in the fact that careful and accurate statistios show that the way travel and business alone, will yield a handsome support to the road, without reference to the through travel. And it is not too much to say, that the resources of Connecticut, aa yet undeveloped, and almost entirely unknown, will increase this support beyond the most sanguine expectations. It deserves also to be mentioned that it will serve as an important outlet to those portions of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, which lie south- easterly of the route. As to the speed expected to be attained, improvements are proposed in regard to the rail and the engines of such a character, as will ensure & passage of only seven hours between the two cities. {iThe“ much yexed-question’Jof the bridge across the Connecticut, is treated at considerable length, and the arguments to show ite really triding obstruction to the navigation of the river, are clearly placed before the public, All that can be asked of those who have op- posed the bridge is acalm and fair consideration of these statements. In truth, we invite the most searching in- vestigation ofthese arguments, satisfied that the result would be a surrender of prejudices as unfounded in reali- ty as they have been bitter in their influence. The road should by all means be built. Capitalists can find no surer investment. The two greatest com- mercial emporiums in the country are proposed to be united by a road, whose directness forbids the possibility ot its ever being superseded or successfully rivalled. Official documents and statistics, carefully collated, prove the adequacy of the way tr nd business alone to support it handsomely, got to mention the tide of travel that must oontinuallyebb and flow between the termini of such importance as New York and Boston’ Charters are secured for the entire distance, except one- twelfth, the Rhode Island portion, Even should their petition fail, a trifling deflection of four or five miles is all that will be required in order to avold the State. The first charter from the Connecticut Legislature required a subscription of $2,000,000 before an organization could be effected and, the work be commenced; « more re- cent one has been obtained, the terms of which show the estimate inwhich the people of the State regard the road; & subscription of only $500,000 is now necessary, and of this three-fourths have been subscribed in Middletown and vicinity.

Wasuisarton, Oct. 4, 1847 The Future Course of the Government in regard to Mexico—Rumors—The Propositions Entertained by Mr. Trist—Santa Anna. In view of the momentous posture of affairs in Mexi- co, an extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet was held to-day. It was resolved to immediately recall Mr. Trist and to abandon all further attempts at conciliation. The condition of the President's health presluded the possibility of arriving at any definite conclusion as tothe future course to be pursued. But one thing is certain, that all that remains of the old government isto be prostrated, and one of our own erected in its stead. The opinion ef the Cabinet is unanimous, that to withdraw our army within the limits designated as those which our government would have been hitherto williig to accept as the future boundary of the United States, would be but to prolong the war indefinitely, and to ex- pose, unnecessarily, the lives of our soldiers. On the erumbliug ruins of the military despotism which has swayed the destinies of the Mexican people for the last twenty-three years, must be erected a temporary govern- ment, half military, half territorial, which shall sesure to us the revenues of the country,‘and protect the citi- zens in the enjoyment of tranquillity, and in the safe prosecution of their commercial and industrial pursuits. The public mines will be srized, a tariff of duties levied in every port, and the roads will be opened to admit the free circulation of the stream of commerce through eve- ry avenue, to the heart of the country. The character of the war will be entirely changed. Hitherto it has been to conquers peace. Henceforth it will be to main- tain the government wesre about to erect. Hitherto it has been offensive. Henceforth it will be almost wholly defensive, at the same time that the largest discretion will be given the commanding general, to act on the of- fensive or defensive, according as the execution of his measures for the pacification of the country may re- juire. ‘ The Secretary of War has received a letter from « most reliable source at Vera Crus, the writer having uninterrupted communication with the city of Mexico, which, although of « later date than the account which represents Generals Worth, Smith and Pillow as killed by the explosion of @ shell ina powder magasine, makes no mention of such # rumor. Had such e disaster oc- curred,the writer would have been certain to hear it, and would have as certainly communicated it im his letter. ‘The explosion may have taken place and killed a num- ber of our men. but it is improbable that the three Gen - erals named would have been all on one spot and all kill” ed by the same accident. The mail of this evening brings no despatches to clear up the doubt Let us do them justice, those Mexicans. They fought welland bravely before the gates of their capital. It would be unjust to the prowess of our own brave men to nay they met an unresisting enemy. They did not.— Right valiant was that resistance, amd such as Ameri- Burrato, Oot. 6, 1847.
