ly. for conspiring with a person unknown. Mr. Putnam then went on to state the grounds snd the evidence upon which the government rested to prove the conspiracy; and first named, wore the letters writ- ten from time to time by Crafts to Captain Smith, urging him to cause the loss of the ship. He further stated he should prove that Wilson. st the request of Crafts, left Boston and visited Savannah, to arrage with the i agri tolose the ship The government would submit the poli: of insurance on the ship and freight. That the Ship was insured for $15,000; that she cost $5,000, and would not have brought $7,000. The insurance,'as per policies on freight money from London home, was $5,000; and would show that the actual freight was not one-half, making an excess of, on ship and freight list, at least $10,000. Mr. Put- nam next gave a history of the ship Franklin, from which it appears that she was built in Newbury. tnis State, in 1832, and consequently was 17 years old when lost. “Wilson bought her in 1846, for $3,000, and ga portgege for a great port the purchase money Repairs were put upon her, Crafts advancing the funds, and he took asecond mortgage upon the ship for 2.500, He then went on to state the course that th ship was standing, and the peculiar circumstances a tending her appearance upon our coast, and remarke that testimony would be introduced to show that it would have been perfectly impossible for the ship to have cleared the Cape, standing the course she was, and that there could have been no ignorance on Capt Smith, part regarding it; and that tho ship cu away intentionally. Having thus briefly stated the ease for the government, Mr, Isaisn Haren, of Wellfleet, was called, who tes- tified as to the finding of Captain Smith's valise, He said that he heard of the wreck of the Franklin on the Ast of March, and that the eargo was all afloat on th beach, four miles from his residence; went to tt ground with his brother; suw something like a keg floating; hooked it in; it was the valise now in court; carried it home; unstrapped and overhauled it with my wife and daughter; took the papers and cloth out; gave the papers to my wife to dry and open— (identifies the clothes and ‘papers, including letters, thirteen in all)—after reading the papers a second time, concluded they were of a suspicious character, and that they ought to be shown to the underwriters; about the 4t! if March, delivered them to Captain Ebenezer Davis; I have commanded « small craft on that coast sixteen years; sandy bottom, and good hold- ing ground, unless the weather be unusually severe; sixty fathoms chain would hold a 300 ton ship with her Dest bower, as the weather then was; current good deal stronger to the southward than to the north; tide runs three knots to the south an hour; I would ‘allow to go clear of Cape Cod, latitude 42, to Steer as high as N. W., and allow half a point for variation, Cross-examined.—Wind from N. E., weather mode- rate; some days before there was a good breeze; current is very strong when the wind is to the north, blowing along shore, with an ebb tide; at the tim the wreck wind had been from the N. E. about eight ‘lays; ships have been ashore all along there several times; the Franklin was ashore about half a mile southerly of the spot on which the British steamer was ashore, and six or seven miles from Nausett light; had the Franklin gone six or eight miles north, she might thave cleared the Cape; if | had intended to go ashore, I would not have heaved out an anchor to deter her; | would have cut cable and got ashore. as the best way to save life and property; would not have had her drag ashore; if there was not wind enough to run her up high, it was the best way to keep her off by using the dest bower, and other anchors too; the sea breaks at about 100 yards from the shore at half tide. Mrs, Exiza Hatcn, wife, and Miss Minerva Ha daughter, of preceding Hatch, te < rating, and opening the pap home by Mr. Hatch. Carr. Ei zn Davis, agent for some of the offices, testified to receiving the valise and contents from Mr. Hatch. [Examined as to management of a_yessel by the Court.) In latitude 40, forty miles off shore, I should allow two points for variation of compass and in draft, and steer N. W. by W.. to keep clear of the coast, No difficnity in holding there, if the anchor was clear, if the wind was slight; | allow for a sea; in seven fathoms one hundred futhoma scope may be given toa vessel, and she wouldn't tail on; if I found she was striking, I should slip cable and’ givo her a rising as soon as possible; the surest way of insuring the de> struction ofa ship on that bar; would be to hold her after she touched, Cross-exami”id—Have been an agent two years— haye *lary from the board of underwriters; there are eans by which a master may know the rate of the southerly current; it is customary, I presume, for cap- tains to make observations when coming into tho southerly current, to ascertan how fast it was running; upon fining I was approaching the shoal, I should pay Out forty or forty-five fathoms at any rate, even if twenty fathoms would hold her; if expeoting » wind from in shore, there might be a differéhee of opinton about the quantity of chain to be paid out; I know the coast so well, that I know in geven fathoms 100 fathoms may be given anywhere along; I reside in Truro. joining Wellflect, about six miles from whe Franklin was wrecked; the ordinary rise and fall of tides there is eight or ten feet; after touching, 1 am eure Ishould have slipped cables and run her ashor 1 give this opinion on the ground there was no wind; the current would affeet her heading one way or the other; 1 should have allowed her to get ashore, aven if she went broadside on, in preference to having her deat to picces on the outer but should endeavor torun her bow on; if she was bumping and lifting, I think she weuld have gone over the bar; if relieved from the cheok of her anchors; although they dragged, they would cheek her a good deal; | believe the ship Cactus got ashore yery near that spot within two 4 fied to drying, sepa- and letters brought Naval Intelligence.

In the coming week we expect to be visited by the King and Queen of Portugal. Our cruise seems destined to be quite an eventful one in the interchange of courtesics with our European friends. Nothing in the slightest degree unpleasant has thus far occurred in our intercourse with the people whom we have visited. and it hax contributed much to our happiness to meet every where with cordiality and good will, Boty Rossery, witn Inrent to Mvrper.— William F. Gates, of Blue Hills (abont thr from Hartford), was robbed, on Mon about 10 o’clock, on the cross rovd that connects the two turnpikes about half a mile east of Hills tavern, in East Hartford. Mr. Gates has, for some time past, been trading in meat along th line of the Willimantic railroad, and was returaiag home on that read that evening, his hor alkiny through the sand. He discovered that his horse began to sheer off towards the bushes, but as it dark, could not see what the matter was stopped his horse, and was justin the act of ‘Uing out of his wagon to tin the trouble, hen he was immediately seized by the collar of his coat, and jerked out upon the ground. Ile at once endeavored to get on his feet, when he was iately dirked by the man who pulled him out, piercing through all of his clothes, even to the skin, the dirk glaneing. off by hitting his watch, which fortunatety saved his life. {nan instant, another man, who had evidently been reining his horse from the road, cried out, ina low, grumbling voice, “hold,” thrust, a pistol into his tuce in- stantly, demanding “his money or his life.” Mr. Gates being completely at the mercy of these two robbers, his position advantageous to them, pat his hand into his pocket, and handed to one of them his wallet, which contained $330 in bank bills on the Hartford banks. The next morning an offi went with Mr. Gates to the ground; tracks we seen, but not suffleient to trace the course the rob- bers took. The robbers were undoubtedly aw: that Mr. Gates had quite an amount of money with him, and this road is a g place for the high- Wayman to accomplish his vill ny. Mr, Gates has offered a reward of $100 for the detection of the villains. —Hartford Times, April 19. he Plumbe National Dague: on the upper corner of Broadway and Murray street.—Thi well-known ¢stablishment, ng "usual, keeps attead with th improvements in the Daguerreian art, Any one interested in thie heaucital art, would: be highly gratified by a visit to this ery.

The opinion of the court was delivered by Judge Kellogg. The case referred to was that of Ban- croft & Riker vs, Julien Dumas, being an action of ook account. which was submitted to an auditor. who returned a special report, upon which the count; rendered judgment for the plaintiff, disallowin ever, a portion of his account. It appears by th that'a portion of the account consisted of charges for ardent spirits, sold by the plaintiff to tho defendant, detween the Gth March, 1846, and 9th of April, 1847, amounting tothe sum of $11416, during which’ time the plaintiff had no license authorizing the sale of spir- itous liquors, as provided by the license law of 1844and 1846. ‘This portion of the account was disallowed by the county courts, The decision of the county court is re- sisted upon two grounds :—1. ‘rhat the laws of 1844 and 1846, relating to licenses. ere unconstitutional and void. 2, That if the laws are constitutional and valid, the sale of the liquors without license, would only subject the plaintiffs to the penalty imposed by the statute, and would constitute ne jection for the plaintiifs re- covery of these items.

There is quite a curious state of things existing here at present. Gen. Taylor hasno organ The eubinet have several. The organs of the cb net are working, might and main, to eontrol tae Presi dent's action. The President desir olate the pledges he made previous to his election. The whig organs clamor for removals. hose journals that were originally for'Taylor are huagry after effice themselves, and join loudly, with one or two exceptions, in the cry of the majority of the whig papers. Thus, with the exception of the Herald, the President is now absolutely without a paper that can be said to sustain him in his original pledges and resolves. ‘The two whig journals of this city, representing the views of a pertion of the cabinet, desirous of forcing the President to accede to their wishes, cry out lastily in favor of general proscription. It is not surprising that General ‘Taylor, in this state of things, seeing this effort to ¢ him toa violation of his pledges, should be anxious to have here at Washingten a journal to veilect his own seatiments, and to uphold him in the course of policy he may think proper, in despite of the minority injhis cabinet, to pursue. It would be much better if the General would throw himself on the independent press of the country—the press that elected him to the Presidency, and rely, for the support of his measures, on those who have, like himself, ‘no friends to reward, and no enemies to punish”’—but it is yery natural that, worried as he nas been since inauguration by the splenetic and bigoted opposition in his cabinet, and by the pragmatical and flippant advice, almost amounting to menaces, thrust upon him by those who wish to school him into the stnall ways of party, he should long for the establishment of a paper, conducted by intimé nds, who have honesty enough to coin- cide with him in his policy, and’ firmness to help him to sustain it. _ The Intelligencer of this morning contains an ar- ticle which might be entitled ‘ Proscription made easy.” General Taylor, it seems, has been very dull in learning the lessons unsparingly read to him hitherto by the organs; and, therefore, the Intelli- gencer has invented a sort of military primer, by which its principles are brought down to the level of the lowest undersfanding. _ Witness the follow- ing, suited to the comprehension of the dullest C: det that ever graduated at West Point:— “The fruits of a great public vietory are really all that make it worth while to have fought and won it. It would be a curious pi eralship, after such a rout of the adversary, to give him back his prisoners, collect his fugitives for him, restore his baggage, sup. plies, military chest and artillery, leave him the fleld, and withdraw from the country Vietory,” “rout,” “adversary,” “prisoners,” “fugitives, “baggage,” “supplies,” “military chest,” “artillery,” We, | Mr. Peter Parley has ob- 1 the credit of conveying a great deal of infor- mation to the rising generation, by me of easy and familiar-lessons, suited to the capacity of the young people. After the manner of Parley, the /) telligencer desires to clothe its teachings in such fa- miliar language that General Taylor, obtuse as he s, cannot fail to comprehend it. is is a most xy thought—happily carried out, too; for if the phrases employed do not prove attractive to the ral, what can prove attractive? It is plain as a pike staf. G eral ‘Taylor has obtained a *vie- tory” over a portion of his fellow citi —that por- tion a majority—has pnt them to the “rout”—is now rd them as his ‘“adversaries”—to treat of- »-holders as “prisoners’”’—the offi held by all but whigs, as the haggage, supplies, military chest and artillery” of the enemy, which it would be madnees not to withhold. ‘This language ss plain) simple, comprehensive, and easily understoo It is natural to suppose that the establishment of the special organ of General Taylor is very dis- tasteful to the existing organs. The latter reflect peculiarly and solely the views of the proscriptiv portion of the cabinet. The clash of sentiments and opinions, when the other organ s hall have sprung into existence, will be amusing. ‘The Re- public will not be the organ of General ‘Taylor, alone. Its establishment will be the inger of an attempt to create anew party, to be called the re- publican party, and intended to'supersede the pre- sent whig or ‘This design will not be immediately developed; but its prosecution will not be the less strenuously pushed, Many of the removals and appointments already made have been designed to conciliate the d rent sections of the whig party. Mr. Clay has been complimented by the appointment of Mr, Matthew L. Davis; Mr. Webster, by the removal of Mr. Stubbs; the King faction, by the nomination of Mr. Pennington to Minesota; the original Tay- lor committee of New York, by the promise of inission to Spain; and the natives of Philadelphia, by the appointment of an obscure member of their party, and the rumor of the appointment of another to the Collectorship. The administration must hi upport in the next Congress, and if, the op- position im its own party be not disarmed, in some Keay, it Will be ina very perilous condition. But the sop thrown to Mr. Clay has not disarmed the vengeance of his, party, as was evidenced by the | proceedings of the Clay dinner. Neither will Ktuhbs be sufficient to appease the appetite of Mr. Webster. A great deal asst to be done, But if the ery of proscription has been already raised, and | in many eases not without cause, how can General | Taylor go still further without a consciousness of violating his pledges ?

AMOUNT OF INJURY. de. Ke. Ke. [From the Charleston Courier, Apri The extreme and tinprecedented ‘cold weather, attended with hail, sleet and snow, which came upon us so unexpectedly, on Sunday ‘lust, haa, as we learn from various sources, prevailed Zenegall at the South, and will prove, as we anticipated, most blighting to the agriculturist. We append such particulars as have come under our obser- vation :— An extract of a letter to the editors of this paper, from Pocotaligo, states that on Sunday, a storm of sleet, followed by snow, prevailed at that place, and that fields, where should be seen growing crops, showed nothing but. such a sheet of white ag might have prevailed in January or February. ‘The same writer says he has heard from tem or fifteen miles above that place, and that the storm was equally, if not more, severe there than at Pocotaligo, A letter from the neighborhood of the Eutaw, states, that the snow fell there for about three hours, whitening the ground, and undoubtedly killing the cotton which had ‘made its appear- ance ubove ground, ‘The corm was also injured, but may recover. ‘The planters in that vieinity had immediately otton, A letter from B that a very sudden ther took place the a black frost was e of sleet and snow. 40 degrees. A letter from an Edisto, planter says that thirty. acres of his cotton, which was well up, has been cutoff; the balance ot his crop, not having got out of the ground may be sav. Another letter from Edisto, dated 16th, says that the crop of cotton in that vicinity, which was but partially up, had been mowed down by the frost of the previous night, and the planters were engaged in replanting such portions of their fields as had ve- getated. A long protracted drought had, been pre- viously sustained, and the little cold rain that fell during the storm had done more injury than good to the crop. A letter from North Santee, states that it com- menced snowing there at half-past two o’clock, and continued falling until dark, when itwas about three inches deep. There was’ plenty of ice the following morning, and although no opinien could be formed of its effects, still the most disastrous consequences to vegetation were anticipated, An extract from a letter, dated Hamburg, 16th instant, says:—‘* We had a killing frost last night, which has done great d ye to what cotton is up. 1 saw a plantation in this neighborhood, where y plant was as [have heard, it appears to be general. Planters are ploughing up the fields dy, and if it has extended West, it will bea matter. ‘The following extract of a letter from George- town, furnished us by a friend, gives a gloomy ac- count of the effects of the storm in that quarter:— * Georgetown, April 16, 1849. “ On the Sth of April the thermometer was up to and one day at 85, in a cool position; and the ther continued at summer heat until Saturda: night, when we experienced a change as the ia got to the East. Yesterday morning was cool, (not enough for fire). By 2:0’clock, the thermo- meter was at 32—the sleet began to fall untila quar- ter past 3 o'clock; then came’ snow, which con- tinued to fall until 7 last night. The earth, being waim, the sleet and snow melted when it first commenced to fall; but, before might, the snow covered the earth three inches thick. ** This morning presents an awful sight to us planters. My corn, that was growing on Saturday peautitul, and four leaves high, is, this morning, the 16th of April, covered with snow. “This has been the severest snow storm I have everseen in Carolina. Our fruit and gardea all gone commenced — replanting their the 16th, mentions reat change in the wea- the prey ous night, and perienced, with « sprinkling The thermometer fell below 89, —All the rice that was not covered with water is killed.” ‘ The Columbia Telegraph of yesterday morning, states, that a hard black frost’ followed the snow storm, and that the young cotton and wheat have suffered, as well as the gardens. The weather there, on Monday afternoon, became more plea- sant and seasonable. ‘The Augusta papers of yesterday express great fears of the cotton and grain crops. All the tender vegetables are completely cut down, and the seeds- men are busily engaged in disposing of fresh seed, for re-planting. _ In some places (remarks the Cont stitutionalist) the snow 13 si to have fallen to the depth of two inches. From what we can gather from those acquainted with the culture of cotton, a re-planting ot the crop where it has been cut down will repair the injury, should the season prove a propitious one. en under any circumstances, however favorable the latter part of the cotton growing season may prove, the loss of seed and labor will be considera- le. Macoy, Ga., April 6@—3 45 P. M. ‘The severe frost of Sunday and Monday nights inst., has destroyed the cotton, wheat,and corn crops, and also the fruits and vegetables in Middle and Upper Georgia and Alabama. Half to three quarters of the cotton was up, and there is very little seed to re-plant. The destruction is general, and we fear disastrous. The Charleston Mercury of the 17th inst., sayse —We have heard of the effects of the recent cold storm as far south as Savannah. A telegraphic despatch from that city, yesterday, states, that in an- ticipation of the effects of the frost upon the young cotton, the factors had stiflened their prices," Gen- tlemen who came down in the cars yesterday, re- present the country along the ialroad as bale white with snow. There is no doubt that the young cotton plants have suffered severely, and s, in this State at least one half, and further south, a greater proportion, were above ground, a very genezal replanting will be necessary. ‘The following is an extract of a letter from Barn- well Court House:—**Saturday was, as had been usual for some time, a warm day, but during the night the wind blew high from the North, and it became very cold. In the morning the wind fell, but it was a dull wintry looking day to 11 o’clock, and then we had some fifteen minutes fall of hail. At two o’clock it commenced to snow, and snowed for two hours, covering the ground to the depth of one and a half inches. ‘The thermometer is down to 37, and the snow melts very slowly. There is every reason to fear that the vegetables which we have nursed so Sees the severe drought, and our fruit crops, are all destroyed by this un- seasonable weather. ‘The Columbia Telegraph, of yesterday, has the “} worked very hard, sir, and J have letters froyy the leading men of the town,” continued the stran- ver, at the same time diving his hand into the me There’s no occasion to show them, sir; d donbt what you say... Been long in the city, sir?” (with a bow, and smiling.) | “Two weeks, General ; At this juneture, a crowd of ladies and gentle- men came up; and, av wing himself of the chance | of escape, the General met the new comers with a smile, and a shake hands, while “the first secreta- ry ef a ‘Taylor meeting,” put on his hat and depart- ed, having eecured no booty by tre ‘moment’s conversation.” ‘ one If the President were to listen to all applications for office, he would be overwhelmed. He has, therefore, wisely resolved to require all petitions to pass the hands of the secretaries. In response | to a gentleman, a few days ago, he said distinctly that when appointments came before the cabinet, all the papers, pro and con, were there likewise, | and that the reasons for decapitation and preference | were fully stated. ‘An anecdote of recent occurrence was related | to me this afternoon, Although it contains nothing | particularly rich, it is characteristic of General Naylor. An editor from the State of New York called onthe President, as one of, a clique, to in- tercede for a certain candidate for office. The President, in the course of conversation, stated that another gentleman had been recommended for the place, and was backed by a large mass of the peoy “But, General,” said the editor, * how- ever tnis may be, signatures are often obtained from neighborly attachment, in their regard to fitness for the station; and not unfrequently those whom the people recommend are not always the best qual ti “Exactly,” quickly retorted the Gene- ral, “I agree with you, sir; there were many rentlemen etter qualified for the Presidency than Cas buta large mass of the people determined that I should be a candidate, and they elected me.” The man of the press was confounded, and yes- terday, as my informant states, he left for his home.’ The cit ] ly until Ewin about the first of, t believed, from intimations at more victims for the sympathies scribing democrats. ‘This administration proscribe—it reforms. peice 2 zit..—By letters received in this city, dosed Bonarniieoo, arch 7th, five days later than before received, it would appear that the ane tion in that province had been thoroughly quelled, as the writer states that all was quiet, an likely to continue #0.

The Wilmington (N. C.) Chronicle, speaking of the late severe, weather, says:—* About dayhg it on Sunday morning, & thick sleet began to fall. ‘This continued for five or six hours, when it com- menced snowing in the proper winter style of h gh Northern latitudes, and of this thére was no inter- mission until after sunset, when the whole face of the earth was covered to the depth of at least five inches. In the early part of the ni, it cleared away. Monday morning presented a singular spectacle. The combinations and contrasts of colors were in > high degree curious. The pure white of the snow, scattered over and amongst the lively green foliage of the trees and shrubbery, and encrusting the thousands of flowers, of every hue and tint—the whole together formed a landscape view indescribably beautiful. By sunset on Mon- day, searcely a vestige cf the snow remained. We fear this storm wrought extensive, if not general destruction, in all this region, and as far as it ex: tended, to the forming fruit and early vegetables. The Charlestown (Va.) Free Press, of Tearediy, says:—‘‘ The late severe weather has dest prospect of fruit for the present year, especially the
