Oxy Mtelligence. Busr oy Generar Tavion.—The celebrated statuaire, Mr Garbeiile, so well known in New Orleans by his witty and fine caricatures of the conspicuous men of the Crescent Cityhas arrived in New York. Our read- ers will remember that it was said, in one of our letters from Monterey, that M, Garbeille executed a bust of General Taylor, under his tent, in the camp of Buens Vista. the noise of his chisel being accompanied with tha’ of cannow and musketry. ‘The bust of the Ameri- can hero is fivished, and Mr. G. has brought the mould with bim, and copies of it will shortly appear in the win- dows of our principal stores of New York If we believe ‘the eulogy written by the press of New Orleans on the work of this telented artist, the bust of General ‘Vaylor is mchef deuvre, and will be admired by all the cogn centi and friends of that gregt!man. M. Garbeille is a pupil of the great sculptor Thorwaladen, and possesses a genius worthy of being appreciated by our citizens We Understand that M. Garbeille is commirrioned to make three copies of this bust for the three municipalities of the city of New Orleans, We published an accurate sof Rough snd Ready, which pleased the public Yery much, and we doubt not that our citizens will be Law Intelligence.

Yesterday morning there was a Dutch qusrrel to be settled before that tribunal, and the ag grieved party was called up to testify against his op ponent. The charge was an alleged assault and battery. ‘The Judge asked him to give Bis teatimony, when he commenced ; * Vell, he called @ pig pull tog to me, ond he caught me by de troat, and Mt me mit my handker- cbirf ail de while | stait.” There were then several women called, all of whom testified against the poor fel- low One of the worthy Alxermen then asked some questions in murdered Dutch, und the case was decided, contining the poor fellow to the Tombs. Another of the same tribe was then cailed up for trial, charged with having struck a woman, who testified that the fellow came Into her store and asked for a pair of boots; she ould,“ Ttolt him dat if he comes in to-morrow I gives him some boots, but he say# no, and struck me on de head mit his fist and sque zed my ueck,and looks mad allround?

We do not kuow whether it is the fault cf those who built it, or that it covers such an immense quantity of wretched- ness and vice, that the Egyptian walls are determined no longer to be the guardians of #0 much misery and vil- lany. ‘The two courts held in the building, with their hands of mercy and justice held out, do not seem to etop its course of ruin, and in a very few years another city prison must be built, and certainly upon a more solid foundation then a frog pond. It was a wise conclusion to build the temple of justice of this great metropolis up- on a miry awamp, which wisdom is long since forgotten, instead of having been handed down to posterity, to show the great foresightedness of the olty fathers, in times p: x THE Wiawam —The looos last evening ‘cond meeting at Tammany Hall, for the pur- pore of rv-organiszing old Tammany Society, which re- sulted in a general rumpar, crimination ang recrimination of the privcipal wire-pullers belonging to the party.

The article gives the impression that the offloiating clergyman, Rev. David Bellamy, was fully aware that the first wife was living when he solemnized the marriage of Mr. Totten with Mrs. Bloom.

But! can give you ® Boston case fully equal to it It was nearly twevty-five years ago,that tne ship New England, of Boston. left Liverpool one Saturday afternoon, and ar- rived in Boston harbor, within two cables length of the end of Long whari, on the morning of the recond Satur- day theresfter, She was commanded by Captain Fox, who would always carry as much sail as thi joks would on who was il known amongst sailors as “a coor lyn When the merchant who owned the New England was trid that she bed arrived, be supposed it wae a hoax he, however, went down on the wharf tosatisty himself, and there, «ure enough, he aw the ship, and Captain Fox on her deck, preparing to go ashore.

At the same time, it is proper to say that it is uw care of the greatest moment to this ‘community. The evil of it strikes at the very foundation of Selsty, and of the institution of mar- riage, without which civilisation could not advance or exist ; for the marriage state is the natural con- dition in which mankind should live,and as such is reco. nized by the laws of all civil'zed countries Now, the question whether it is s civil or an ecclesiastl. cal contract, does not and cannot arise here. All con- tracts are civil which relate to, cr which are regulated or practised by, the civil organization of society and laws where the contracts are made, and are to be ful filled. So far as the law regulates and recognises them, it must be @ reeognition of them as civil rites. ‘There is amongst our own community a cluss of persons, and a this cuse to your consideration. very large class fndeed, who regard the marriace con- tract asa sacrament, and which is understood by all who belong to that communion, when ered into in the presence of a priest, to be the outward of an inward jutent to be joined together, and continue toge- ther, as long as they both live, for all purposes, in a rell- gious aud spiritual union; and that is what I understand to be the sacrament of that church. But the reformed oburches hold diffsrently; they only recognise it a civil contract. And, therefore, the belief of its being sacrament js not universal; for, to be universal, it muat beheld to be soby all Christians. But whether it be of sacramental character or not, it is, in all oountri recoguised, regulated, and protected, as conducing to the welfare ppiness of society. Iu this country, how- ever, the law takes no erence of religious cere- monies, except to protect all persons in the enjoyment of them; and so far we must lock upon it only asa civil ceremeny. We have no power to look at it in any other point of view, and the Court has not power to charge you that itis eny other. Now arises another question, and it is this: whether the law requires any ceremony as a condition of marrisgs, as it would require in the completion of any other contract. Suppose, as an illustration, does it, as in the sale and purchave of real estate, require the drawing up, signing and sealing ef adeed? When I speak of ths law, | allude particularly to the laws of the State of New York; and I ask, do they require any and what ceremony, in order to complete the mur- riage contract? The opinion of the Court is, t! they do not. It 1s only necessary that it be made to appear like any other fact, that the parties consented; that is, that they were of one mind and agreed, voluntarily, to enter into that relation; it is the only fact that must be proved satisfactorily, the law having, as I conceive, pre- scribed no other form by which it ean ba proved. Now, gentlemen, it{s of cours important for us clearly to understand thé nature of the charge, and what it is that isnecrasary to prove the facts alleged in the indictment against the prisoner at the bar. (Reads section of the statute under which prisoner was {indicted ) It is, there. fore, necessary, in order to 9 conviction for this offence, that there should have been a previous marriage—that the previous wife should have been living at the time of the second marriage—and that the second marriage should have taken place. It has been urged that the second marriage mast have been valid, or must have been supposed so by the party, in order to constitute it valid; but that proposition caniot be maintained; the statute is cleer om that subject. It oppears to me that in this age, and in this eulightened oity, it would re- quire an extracrdinary degreo of wvidence to lead us to believe, that a man who has arrived at the age of dis- oretion, having opportunities such asthe prisoner seems to have had, and having before entered into a marriage contract, and partaken of the sacrament in his own church, did not know that his entering into this contract was a violation of his fermer selemn and irrevocabl- contract, and rendered himself liable to punishment for such violation, Nor is it necessary that the other party should suppose it to bs violated, for it is provided by the 11th section of the statute, “that if any parsons, know: iog their former hi \d or wife to be living. shail con- tract marriage, &o.,shall be punished,” &c., and it is for the deprivation ot the rights of the former wife, or hus- band, and the great evil that would reeult to society, that the statute prohibits this offence, and provides for its punishment. Gentlemen, I have already stated to you, that the first marriage must be proved; it 19 not, however, contended inthis case, but that the first mar- riage was duly celebrated; nor is it contended that the iret wife was not alive at the time and residing 10 this city, where she haa since continued to reside. Indeed. the facts are admitted by the prisoner himself; and now the question is, whetner, in fact, this secoad mar- riage took place : it is contended, on the part of the pro- secution, that ail the authorities go to show that an ac- tual marriage need only be proved. In relation to the firet marrisga, I will, eo far as the authorities go, admit itis but in regard tothe proof of the second mar- riage, | takeit to be @ well settled rule of law, that the confession of living together as man and wife, which is a confession of tue fact—that in, the corpus driicti, must be proved in this oase, as weil as all othors, and you must be satisfied, beyond all reasonable doubt, that there was a marrige in fact, between ther ‘ties—that is, that they entered into his marsiage in fact, for that is the main question; and it has been proved to you, by the evidence of Miss Fox, one of the parties; but it is contended that Miss Fox was s party to the crime, and that her testimony shouid be received with the rame caution as that of an accomplice Well, if you believe that she knew that Hare’s wife was living, and that she | } also koew and beiieved that he had not got cli and that he was not a single person, she was plice in the crime—but before you come to the conclu: sion that she can be subjected to the disadvantage that rests upon an sccompties, you should take into conside- ration that she was told that Hare had a divorce, and that he was freed from hie wifs. If she believed that, and entered into this contract under that impression, and in the belief that she was not violating the law, she His Hovor next adverted to the testimony of Miss Fox, which he read over to the jury, and told them that, taking (in connec- tion with that testimony) all the circum: case, if they believed it, they should fiad P guilty; if, on the other hand, they believed it to bea private agreement, entered into between the parties, to live together as man and wife. then the prisoner was envitled to be acquitted. “The jury retired, and in a few minutes returned with » verdict of acquittal; upon waich Hare was handed over to the Sheriff on civil pro- cess for seduclion.

No one can seo | the end of the difficulties with which we are surround- ed; no one can fathom the future, or predict, with any degree of correctness, what « few months may bring | forth. The banks are very much alarmed, and hardly | dare move in any direction. Contraction is the princi- | palorder of the day, and they see nothing in the pe | epeotive but danger. Where this difficulty will end, no | | one can tell. It isa questionof much importance—one | which those interested, would like to see satisfactorily settled. How is the government to raise the many mil- | ions of dollars it wants,to prosecute the war as vigorous- ly asthe recent bills introduced into the Senate for ing more troops, exhibit? The banks cannot raise it, in the shape the government wants it, and capitalists | cannot make the loans without draining the banks of all their specie. A suspension stsres them in the face, | whichever way they may turn, and there appears to be | no escape from it, from the present complexion of things Unless something favorable turns up—uniess some un- looked for change takes place—we see no hope ; no pr: pect of avoiding the scenes of 1837, In view of the things, it behooves every one to be cautious, to contract | their operations in seaaon, and to strengthen themselves in every way to meet the biast boldly. The bankers and capitalists, in every section of the | country, are watching the progress of the ten regiment | bill with the most intense anxiety.

The exports in 1847 were immense ; but it will be seen that the shipments for many years have been large.

There were, at that time, two bed harvests in rucoession throughout the United Kingdom, and our ex- ports were, in consequence, larger than they had ever been before rom 1840 to 1946, the exports were to a more mederate extent, but in 1846 the shipments again commenced on an extensive scale, in consequence cf the deficient hervest of the year previour; and in 1847 the shipments were to an immense extent, in consequence ofasecond and more alarming deficiency in the crops of Great Britain and Ireland. During the past two years, England has furnished the largect and best mar- kets for our breadstuffs, but such has not always been the care, The British West Indies, British American colonies, and South America, have been large con- sumers of our breadetuffs. It is only under certain oir- cumstances, that we can send breadstuffs to England with any profit. Nothing but a deficiency in their do- mestic supply, compels them to take our surplus, or ena- bles usto make such shipments profitable. Of the ag- gregate value of breadstuffs exported for the year ending June 30, 1816, $7,223,251, were shipped to England, Ire- lend and Scotland, being nearly one half of the total amount. We have no official returns showing the pro- portion of the aggregate exportation of breadstuffs for the yearending June 99h, 1547, ehipped to Great Bri- tain and Ireland, but we have no doubt the per cent was much larger than in 1846, and the amount more than double that for the previous year. About one- third of the aggregate value of the exportsfrom the country in 1847, was in wheat, flour, Indian corn, In- dian meal, rye meal and bread.
