It appears from t affidavits before the magistrate, that Turner was a w! ness for the husband. and swore on the trial that on the first Monday in November, 1846, Mrs. Lent on that night came to his room, at No. 18 Twei ty-firss street, and asked for lodgings, when she undressed herself and remained with him dur- ing thet night in the eamo bed. 1 being direct before the court, and ma ter at iesue in proving the charge of aduliry, a divorce wan granted in favor of the husband.

The movements of specie in the world are oreating considerable excitement, and the attention of fiaancial circles {s directed to the principal sources of supply. Ip the east the supply Ss derived from Rursia, and in the west from Mexico, These two countries hold a position in the fimanci«l world superior to any others in existence ‘Vhe Emperor of Russia is more omnipotent in Europe brough the influence of his mines of gold and silver than {n apy other way, and he holds within his bands, | the fate of toe commerclal classes, and In fact, almost the goveroments of every other Euporean nation, His appesrance in the market as a purchaser of government securities alarmed those nations that were laboring un- der financial embarrassments, but they were compelled | to avail themselves of the relief presenved, to avoid | immediate evils.

The mines ot Russia are in the bende of an individual who will make every use of them to ad- vance his private wealth and political power. Tt would be most unfortunate for the world at large, and for the governments of Europe in particular, had the source of supply of precious metals been confined to Russia; but such isnot the case. We have in this ke- misphere mines ae rich as thoseof any other section of the world, and these mines have falley into the hands of | the Anglo-Saxons. The Mexican war will be the means of opening these mines to the world, imcrease th production of precious metals, and annul the monopoly that Russia has for the past year or two enjoyed. The war has arrested the mining operations of Mexico very materially, but we are about entering upon a now era in this business. A few years will suffice to quadruple the mineral productions of Mexico. There are more than three thousand mines of precious metals in Mexico. Of these very few are gold mines. The silver mines are more numerous, and it is estimated by recent travellers in that region, that if they were properly worked, they would produ@ five times as much per annum ag they ever bave. The average ¢: tion of specie from Mex- ico for many years past, has been about twenty-five mil- lions of dollars per annum. For the two years previous to the commencement of hostilities between Mexico and the United States the produce of the mines was larger than usual, in consequence of the increased facilities fer working. upom which imme ums had been expended; but the war arrested most of the operations, and the production has since been limited. All that is now ne- cessary is proper management and proper protection We could, in a few years, raise from the mines of Mexi- co, already known and partially worked, one Aundred millions of dollars per annum, This is an immense sum, and may appear extravagant; but it only makes one American equal to four Mexicans in mining pre- cious metals, while we know that one is equal to more than nalf a dozen Mexicans in fighting. Mexico are inexhaustible ; all they want is properly di- rected labor to make them immensely préductive. ‘The importation of specie !uto this country for the past twelve years from Mexico, has been as annexed :— Imvort op Sreciz into tHe Unitep States From 0 $3,458,892 412 817 2.176 663 956,407 698,533 tee 2689426 2 2,273,518 ‘This shows a decline from seven millions toseven hun- dred thousand dollars, in twelvé years.

The exhibit of the trade in 1835, shows to what extent it can be carried. We have never imported anything of con- sequence from Mexico but specie, but the productions of that country are of a nature, that will find extensive markets in other parts of the world. The Mexican confederacy is composed of thirteen States, four territories and tho federal district of Mexico. The federal district and Zucala produce Indigo dye-woods, ke. Chiapa, Tabasco, Oaxaca, Vera Crus and Puebla, raise wheat, tobacco and maize. Mexico, Queretaro, Michoacan, Guanaxuato, Xalisco, San Luis Potosi, Zacatecas, New Leon, Tamaulipas, Durango and Coabuila are confined mainly*(to gold and silver mining, though they all grow maize and large herds of cattle. Sonora and Sinaloa, New Mexico and tho Californias, have gold and silver mines, some iron and lead, and pro- duce corn, wine, and great herds of cattle. Tampico is the principal outlet to the raining districts. The mines of Sombresete, im Zacatecas, are celebrated for the rioh- ness of their veins,which in aspace of a few months have produced a net profit of four millions of dollars. ‘There are some very wealthy mines near the capital, which were long since abandoned, in consequence of the terri- ble fires which have occurred in someof them. The mineral district of Durango, is exceedingly valuable. In ono real, in the vicinity of Chihualrus, there are thir- teen silver mines, one of gold and one of copper; and at Maiepernie, seven silver mines and one gold miue. ‘The Mexican gold is tor the most part obtained from aliuvi@@ grounds, by means of washing. These grounds are common in the State of Sonora In the plain of Cineguiella, grains of gold of such @ size, were found nineteen inches below the surface, that some of them weighed nine marks each, valued at more than $1000, In several other places, large pleces of gold have been found ; it is also found in the veins which intersect the mountains of primative rock; these veins have been found a foot and a halfthick. There is scarce a silver mine in Mexice that does not contain some gold. Of the inferior metals, there are mines in great abun- dance, and of almost every description, which only need science and enterprise to bring forth their hidden trea- sures to the surface. ‘The position in the financial world which the posses- sion of these mines wili give us,will be equal to that ofthe Emperor of Russia, and whatever influence the govern- ment of Russia may exert in relation to the affairs «f Europe, by means of his immense gold mines, the Unit. ed States will have a very great conservative influence in connection with any European government. In the event of Russia attempting tocrush any of the more liberel governments of Europe, we shall bein a position to aid the distressed, and relieve them from thie financial power of the autocrat. ‘The two great specie countries in the world are Russia and North America.

The Latest on Hand There is another plan—the original plan of Mr. Man- gum, we believe—ot getting peace with Mexico. Itve to send down to Mexico « commission of three or five of our most distinguished statesmen, such as Clay, Vau Buren, Crittenden, Benton, and Dix, for instamee—to meet a like commission, as far as oan be, from the Mest. cans, and this commission to settio a treaty of indemui- Les, boundaries, ke. Such ® plan might succeed—it would have a prestige of dignity and majerty about it that would attract the Sttention of the Mexicans; because,like all half olvilized people, they are great sticklers for forms and ceremo - nies, in thelr tutvroational, as well as in thelr domestic We have our doubts about ¢! inistri mending any definitive plan, aa ne pret oution of the war;” while we believe, or incline to be lieve, a8 in the Oregon controversy, the President wili gladly assent to the advice and consent of Congress, iu the liquidation of this Mexican difficulty. There is one little excrescence which tay grow out of a continuance of the war, that it will be hazardoua ‘to cut off, and fatal to retain—wo mean the excrescence ‘of a standing army of 50 or 100,000 men, ports of the Departments accompanying thé President # m e. however, will go powerfully to per- suade the popular judgment firmly against the perma- neat occupation of Mexico, The dancing has been mag- nificent—the fun has been most lous; but the bill of the piper has yet to be paid; the imtroduction of « bill for direct taxation will ha’ marvellous good ef. feet in opening the eyes of the demagogues who expect to batien aud fatten upon this war. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury will either have to re- n expansion of the tariff; Ora seisure and working of the Mexican mines ; Or a contiseation of the Mexican ehureh ty Or a direct tax on the Mexican towns and olties occu. Or a direct tax on the American people ; Or more loans and treasury notes to be passed over to posterity to redeem. Now we suspect he loves the tariff of '46 too well to touch It ; moreover he is afraid if he touches it bis tystem is gone ; we suspect that ail the Mexican mines will be found to be private property ; would not touch the church property, and dare not if he would. ‘The tex on the Mexican towns will be like # collection taken at » freelecture to pay the expenses of the lights—it will net Pay for the candies. Yot we suspect this tax will be re- cow mended upon @ very respectable calculation. A di- rect (ax on the American people must be avoided, if can avoid it, aud we predict you, therefore, that M: Walker will ask for more loans and treasary notes, with. out inourring thoenus of a plan for their immediate re- demption We have had a glorious war—great victories—and we } have won & name and a 6 in battle which will star | tle even the old pensione: N campaigns; | but the bill bas to be presented and paid! end then, if We present the quention, abail we go on und with 100,000 | men hold on to Mexico till it i ’ | tle the sixty millions of Britis! the provico?

Tho same man was seen upon the road on Saturday afternoon, and pethaps a better description of his personal appearance will yet be obtained from them.
