Am 1 to take Restell’s witnesses to cor- Toborate the testimony of Maria Bodine? Is it to be Madame Restell’s servants that I must take for that purpose? Why, gentlemen, do you for ® moment suppose that ‘Madame Restell” is the woman who would allow any of her servants to be prevent and witness her operations? Not she; I say there is not a human heart who could stand by, and see the writhing agonies of those who are operated upon.— Who is there but Restell and her victim in the room at the time of the time of the operation? Noone, Weare not to believe that she allows any being to witness it.— he who knows the law so well, takes good care to ma- nage this part of the business, and when the poor vio- tims leave her den, mark what she says to them by of caution. “Speak not of it to any one; be silent; be no evi- quiet; for tho act will consign us both’ to the State prison; me for performing the operation, and you for submitting and causing to have it done.” | Now, if you say by your verdict that you will not be- Maria Bodine, and you give the defence the the triumph, and Restell and each one of those wretohes engaged in similer infamous pursuits will thank you for your decision, a8 you cannot reach them—becauie they well know that this girl or any other victim cannot, or rather would not be believed. ‘I'he District Attorney after offering some remarks tothe jury relative to their proceeded to read the testimony of Marla Bo- aintance with Mr Madame Re: ~her second visit to this city ac- companied by Me n—her second interview with Madame Restell—the amount of money alleged to have been paid for producing the abortion—the manner in which the operation is alleged to have been performed, and which was here detailed at length by the District Attorney, tegether with the effects reeulting feom the mame—Maria Bodine’s return to Ramapoa alter the abortion—her subsequent sickness caused by the abor- tion, ete. After which 9 r.sumed his remarks as follows: Now, gentlemen, if this girl, Maria Bodine, had been the worst woman living, if she had been rotten as ft were with disease, and completely abandoned, it is utterly imposslble for any human being to invent such @ story as has been told by this girl. Let us for » moment suppose a country girl coming here and de- soribii 1 that is to be seen in the interior of Madame Restell’s,with more minuteness than the most successful clairvoyant; and as regards the object of her visits there, she introduces so many persons and s0 many clrcum- their vccurrence cannot be doubted for in, the counsel for the defence contend Rodine was not pregnant. To settle this point, wo have the signs of pregnancy as they existed and are described by Maria Bodine as well as by Dr. Colt Several medical works were next referred to for the pur- pose of proving the probability of the child with which she was then pregnant having quickened. ‘I'he testimony of Drs, Gilman, Bedford, and others, wi ‘so introduc- ed for the same object ;; the character and extent of the disease with which Maria Bodine had been afllicted rior, and during and subsequent to her residence with ir. Cook. The District Attorney next alluded to the faot that notwithstanding the oxtraordinary efforts that had been made, regardless of expense, to impeach the testimony of Maria Bodine, but five persons had come forward from Orange county and say that they would not believe her when under oath. Under these olroum- stances, as they have been presented before you for your consideration, | ask for a conviction of the prisoner. ‘At the opening of the Court this morning, David Gra- ham, Jr,, Esq, of counsel for the defence, commenced his argument in defence of the accused. We have taken full notes of his speech, but in consequence of the pres- sure of news upon us, caused by the »rrival of the steam- ship Washin, , We cannot use them except to make a limited sketch of his remarks, and to condense them into the smallest poss! be very interesting to our r for to the hour of receas yesterday, they related princi- pally to ponits of law arated, from snd supported by a number of authorities in (ee beat andthe United States. He in the first directed the jury to the charge in the case, and if the jury did not admit that it is s01 thing a-piece with the mode in which the evidence has been pi ited, he would acknowledge that he had mis- taken their intelligence, for it is as great a legal curiosi- ty as he ever saw. ssociate had said that he did not intend to say anything in regard to the legal construo- tion of the offence; as faras he would make his re- marks, he would assume it to be a good legal document, The law of eightoeen hundred and forty-five he referred tc the statute passed on the subject of prof dueing abortions, which, if we Judge from its language, made it mensiaughterto the second degree to admin! ter anything to a child iu its mother’s womb. The Legislature that section tot the under which it is sup} this indictment was found, and that provides, that any person who administers anything to destroy a child or uses any instrument, shall, in case of the death of such ohild or its mother, bo deemed of manslaughter in the second degree. The m it la, that if you administer anything with the intent to kill the child, youshall be deemed guill slaughter. At common law it was not manslaughter to take means to destroy a quick child, and this statute was passed with a view to supply the hoop Ang the com- mon law. He would assume the common law ground to administer the means to destroy a child, but that itfwas misdemeanor to do so except when the child was q "The statute of 1846 says it shall be manslaughter fa the second degree to administer, kc , with intent to destroy the child; provided that the destruction of the life ef the mother or child be effected; and the statute of 1845 makes it @ misde: or to administer, &o., with the intent to destroy life or not.— Let us see, said Mr. Graham, under what statute the de- fendant in this case ia indicted. The indictment con- tains five eounts. [tis ed in it, that the defendant administered to Maria Bodine a large quantity of medi- oine, with intent to produce a miscarriage, the said Ma- ria Bodine being Pregnant with ‘@ quick child, by which it wan destroyed. The la: guage of the statute ia, that the means must be used on @ woman pregnant with a quick child, with the intent to destroy it. Now the charge is here that the defendant adiministered the means, not with the intention of producing the death of the child, but miscarriage of the mother. Tis is, therefore, net an indictment for manslaughter, for the reason that it does not o the moans used for the purpose of producing miscarriage, to havo been used for the purpose of producing the death of the child. Mr. Grahain then referred to several authorities as to the allegations which are necessary in an indictment. — ‘The prosecution, he said, bave charged that the defend- ant has administered, &0. to a woman quick with child; but the intent to destroy the child is not charged. The mere allegation of manslaughter on the back of the in- dictment is nothing. The substance of the indictment is, that the party is guilty of what is a misdemeanor in the second section of the statute. The jury are trying a case of misdemeanor only, and it cannot be made other than an jadictment for felony — He then said, that he should ask the Court to charge, that whether the indictment is founded upon the statute of 1845 or on the common law, in either case the matter charged amounts only to a misdemeanor. We have intent appropriate to the crime of misde- meanor alleged, awa that only, and he would ak the to charge the jury that thoy cannot convict the 4 of « misdemeanor under an indictment for a fe- ny, because the misdemeanor is merged in the felony; again because conviction of a misdemeanor woul not be & bar to a prosecution for the felony. This was the amount of the gentleman's argument on this point, which took him along time to explain He then went over the same ground which was travelled by his asso- ciate on the preceding day, and insisted that for want of corroboration in the testimony of the principal wit- ness, the defendant must be acquitted. The counsel went into an elaborate discussion of this point, and con- tended there no corroborative testimony. He con- claded that the only attempt st corroboration was, by the witness Cook, who himself noeded corroboration, being in the same predicament with Maria Bodine, and under indictment in this case. In regard to the medi- cal Lestimony, he contended it was so conflicting that it wan 48 favorable to the defence as it was to the prosecu- 1 He then reviewed the points of the proseoution, the matter charged and the proof that should be given, allof which was in his opinion inadequate té convict the defendant. H- concluded by appealing to the jury to render a verdict of baste irrespective of every thing but their owths and their duty. Police Intelligence.

It is somewhat lengthy, but a well digested document. The present manner of levy- ing taxes, appearing to be unequal ia its operation, the Governor suggests that the whole landed-estate and the improvements thereon, shall be taxed at @ certain rate on its valuation, to be returned on the oath of the free- holders, with specifications of quantity, situation in re- spect to counties, and quality, * * * It is believed that a tax of ten cents on ffs fadeementd dol- lars of the value of the real entate and its improvements, with the other sources of income, would raise a reven' ual to the wants of the government. * * e excess of revenue of the Em. over the last y amounts 7 the sum keg A \ ‘The surplus in treasury, after defra: charges Ww ie ‘The balunce of the debt of Menara, Reid, ry T Ir@ng & Co,, is reduced to an amount which this sur- pl@®, added to $50,000 required te be paid by the act of 18@, and payable out of the income of the present year, will entirely extinguish. Yet reduction of taxes cannot be safely made, After exhausting all the available moans of the Central Bank, still an estimated deficit, Fg 4 $200;000 of its bonds, will remain unpaid, and for which the State is liable. Moreover, fifteen thou- sand pounds of sterling bonds are outstanding, which it is important should be redeemed at the eariieat conve- nience of the State. The publio debt of the State is sald to be $1,579,875 60, of which $1,435,260 are in federal bonds, payable at the treasury, £16,000 in sterling bonds sold by Messrs Reid, Irving & Co , previous to 1843, and £16,130 6s, also in sterling bonds, as balance due to this firm for their adv: made to the State in 1839. The subject of the affairs of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, as connected with the executive department of the State, is dwelt upon by Governor U. at some length T of tho treasury is next alluded to, and its je means on hand shown to be $63,040 50. ‘The ge nays, that the securities of the late defaulting treasurer have been sued, but without any beneficial ef- fect.

The Suprei whose establishment was so long of questionable utility, says the message, hag reulized to the fullest extent, the expectations of its most ateadfest advocates. An amend- ment of the penal code is suggested, the language of the present one being in some oases indefinite. The old militia system seems te have fallen into disrepute, and the Governor proposes to disband the militia, by sus- pending militery laws as to them—thia suspension to continue until a necessity for a revival of the law shail exist ; meanwhile, volunteer companies to be encour- aged, by crempting: their members from other public duties, furnishing them with arms from the public arse- nalg, c, In speaking of the requisitions upon the Stat for troops, to serve in the war with Mexico, the message with what alaority the enlistments took place, and Following not less inclination than the example of other Staten, it is deemed roe and just that fit testi- monials should be awarded to the sons of Geo have distinguished themselves by their skill and ing. on the Croeapes battlefields im Mexico. The perform- ance of duty, and ite appropriate reward, should be in- separable. Henoe | commend these brave men to your are and justice.” ” ‘There are in the message several paragraphs devoted to the subject of manufactories in the State, in which the Governor speaks, like a sensible man, to the point. ys to the Legislature:— “ Considerations of grave import cannot fail to attract your attention inconnection with the industrial pursuits of the State, and the policy, if not necessity, of effecting some modifications in them. The great defect is the want of diversity in our labor. It has been concentrat- ed on the rearing of one great staple, which, with the contributions of other States of a like production, has, through a series of years,#o accumulated in the markets of the world, as scarcely to leave to the planter remune- rating profits. In the meantime an exhausting noe of tillage has rendered the soil less productive. Firmly convinced that the amount of labor, as now and hereto- fore directed in the State, is greatly disproportionate to the other industrial processes of life, and its tendency is to decline and ultimate decay, I would suggest, as # re- medy, the incorporation of manufacturing companies, with the most liberal charters. The grant of these can- not injuriously affect other interests, but on the contra- ry promote them. The charters will be inducements to new investments, and as they may divert capital and labor from other employments, especially from agrieul- ture, to that extent the planter will be removed from a competition that has been dragging down the price of hia staples, &c..? Upon the subject of th» boundary between Georgia and Florida, the following language is held in conclusion :— “In every aspeot of this aa yet amicable controversy, prudence and friendly neighborhood demand its early settlement. A conflict of authority between the con- testing States may be sooner or later expected. It will probably arise from the decision of a judicial question. Resistance to its exeoution may follow. Force against force may be employed, and thus the two States may be embroiled in angry strife.”’ The penitentiary has drawn nothing from the treasu- ry for its support within two years, but on the contrary, ita net profits have amounted to $10,573 86.

The'variety of articles exported, shows the basis of the trade carried on with theso countries. #o far as the demand for any of these items is concerned, it can be met to any extent. It is interesting to look on the above lint, and see the description of merchandise sent to the most remote seotions ef the world. There are many which are really Yankee notions. This trade is yet in its infancy, and must eventually become of great im- portance. ‘The quantity of flour, wheat, corn, and barley left at tide water during the first week in November, in the years 1846 and 1847, was as follows :— Flour, bbls, Wheat, bu.

T! rendering that consummation Wasninaton, Nov. 7, 1847, rd—How the Game is being Played at Washington, General Taylor has, at length, applied for leave of Absence from his active duties in the field; and as it has, as ® matter of course, been granted, he may be ex- pected to arrive in the country by December not fail to be received as such a man ought to be re- ceived, with honorable distinction, and with a hearty He can- enthusisem. In this reception all parties will be uble to unite with unrestrained cordiality, as General Taylor's Present position is not that of a politiclan. He cannot At present be considered as w candidate for the Presi- dency. The movement in favor of his nomination, he has discountenanced from the beginning. He bas uni- formly declared his wishes to be opposed to a nomina- tion, and has refused to be a candidate, except in obe- dience to the commands of the whole people, without distinction of party. This determination has not been shaken by the many letters of invitation, and proffers of support from individuals, and assemblies of the various parties. His reply to each has been that he cannet be the oand{date of any party. It ts altogether reasonable to suppose that General Taylor was fully aware that he was giving a decided r fusal to be put in nomination for the presidency, he declared he would not be the candidate of any party, and that he would assume the offlee of President, if at all, untrainmelied and unpledged. That he could ever be elected, in the present condition of the country, without being the candidate of some party, is out of the question, He was, doubtless, well aware of this, and wishing to decline as gently aa possible, the honor at- tempted te be thrust upon him, he adopted this mode of ridding himself of his tormentors. Penelope-like; po- litely unwilling to irritate his suitors, he indefinitely postponed the consummation of their wishes by adroitly impossible. General ‘Taylor is a ehrewd observer, and ho saw that those very solicitous gentlemen were merely desirous of making a good speculation of his popularity. He has very quietly defeated this attempt—so very quletly,indeed, that some of them still delude themselves with the hope, of being able to induce the gallant old man to second their self- ish designs, It is quite easy to foresee that those very men will be among the most bitter sssailants of General ‘Taylor when they discover the unsuccessful issue of their interested schemes, Genoral Taylor, then, not a candidate, the whigs will be obliged to unite on Mr. Clay. Indeed, there are many who have held,all along, that the nomination of Mr, Clay would be a matter of duty, as well as of necessity. The triumph of the whigs at the recent election in New York, and more especially the triumph of Mr. Clay’s friends in the election of Mr. Young last year, tend strongly to the conviction that his nomination will be inevitable. Already there are strong manifestations on the part of his friends,of a determination to crush all oppposition to his nomination. In every State except Kentucky, Mr. Clay’s friends have lately triumphed over their oppo- nents of their own party. But should Mr. Clay, regularly nominated by the na- tional whig convention, run in opposition to a regularly nominated candidate of the democratic party, Mr. Cal- houn’s friends are determined to run that gentleman as an independent ‘candidate, and so endeavor to throw the election into the House of Representatives. It is not impossible that Mr. Calhoun may thus succeed in being next President; but the chances cannot be said to be in his favor. Mr. Clay will have much less to contend against than in 1844, His democrstic opponent cannot be, as then, & man utterly unknown. ‘Lhat experiment eannot suc- ceed twice. Of the candidates already named, one will, in all probability, be selected. With such an adverssry, Mr. Clay will havea fair open encounter. He will have many advantages he had not in 1844. The feelings of his opponents are far less implacable now than then. His defeat in the last contest has thrown an unusual de- gree of interest around him. Retired from the political arena, nothing has occurred since then to engender ani- mosity against him. The charge of lax morality which alienated so many from his support before, can no longer be urged against him; for he is now an active member of a respectable religious denomination. He ir, there- fore, beyond question, @ more available candidate than in 1844. His nomination will be violently opposed by the other seotion of the party; but there is little dombt he will ultimately be the choive of the whigs. This being the strong probability, Mr. Clay’s views on the Mexican question will be looked for with much anx- iety. What policy will he fayor? The whole of Mexico, or none? Proviso or compromise? It is said by many here that he will not oppose the proviso doctrine, not- withstanding he was the father of the Missouri oom - promise, Here, in this city, this winter, is the battle to be fought. Already extensive preparations are being made. Kmis. saries are at work. An attempt is being made to gain over @ certain New York journal, to advooate the claims of a certain aspirant for the Presideney. A large sum of money is to be expended. The manu- facture of public opinion has already commenced.— A demonstration is to be made on the public miad at Baltimore, New York and New Orleans, at the jaune time. A desperate effort is to be mude, and no: thing will be left undone to secure succers. If the Ne: York journal | have alluded to can be gained over, it will be @ great step to sucovss, as the paper has the cha- racter of being very conservative, and is much read on ‘change and in pious families. Should any sudden and extraordipary alteration take place in the tone of this devout and commercial jour- nal, { will have something to say aa to the cause to which such alteration is to be ascribed. GALVIENSIS, Wasnineron, Nov. 6, 1847, Trial of Fremont, with some Observatious on Colonel Benton, Colonel Benton is never so pleased as when his hands are full of business; and the heavier the task the more it is to hisliking. In this oase of Fremont he is positively in clover, He got tired out waiting for Congress, and must have something to do. He is ever ready to take up the “glittering spear and the shield,” when his ooun- try or his friends, or his family, demand it. H%s motto jn: “ Dulcis amor patefp, duleo videre suos.”’ And {f you touch his friends, you bring the old war horse down upon you. General Kearny has arraigned Fremont on sundry heavy specifications. Fremont is favorite with his fa- ther-in-law, Kit Carson, Preuss, Fitspatrick, Godey end all Fremont’s young men that explored the Roeky Mountains, the Great Basin, and the Sierra Nevada, with Fremont, are as children to Col. Benton, They are, in part, the witnesses for the defence; and in the intervals of ‘consultation of the Court, they will gather around the old Colonel on the walks of the arsenal grounds, and he will talk to them of the hardships of a desert life, of the qualities of dog soup, raw hides, mule ribs, and shoe soles, which are accounted eating in that howling blank wilderness of the Great Basin; and he will lecture them on Spanish, and tell them of the Aztecs, and of Humboldt, and of the volcanic formation ofthe country west of the Rocky Mountains; and if a stranger comes up, and is introduced, the distinguished Senator will branch off as follows: — “That is Fremont, eir, yes sir ; and these are his young men.
