THE NEW YORK HERALD. Our Canadian Correspondence. Monrreat, April 23, 1849. Legislative Doings—Breach in the Ministry— Trade of Canda with the United States—Commercial Statistics, &c. On Friday last, at the morning sitting of the House of Assembly, Col. Gugy rose to move an address to His Excellency for a copy of the com- mussionfof the Solicitor General, East,(Mr. Drum- mond); but he had heard a rumor that the Solici- tor General had resigned his office, in which case it would be unnecessary. Mr. Batpwrn had not heard the report. Col. Gvey, then proceeded in a most humorous manner, to state that he would make reference to an anomalous character the honorable gentleman wropased to play, of trampling his commission ler his feet. It might be appropriate to havea and war dance for the occusion, and request the on. Inspector General (Mr. Hincks) to pipe... A Memuer asked the honorable gentleman if it was his intention to invite the “ British American League” tothe dance. Mr. Price, Commissioner of Crown Lands— (Some of the cabinet here got up.) He said he supposed that the Hon. Attorney General, West, (Mr. Baldwin) had resigned. : This is but one sample of the numerous dis- graceful scenes constantly occurring on the floor of the lower house. Mr. Baldwin, it is under- stood, is to hold the new office about to be institu- ted in Upper Canada, connected with the Court of. Chancery, (viz: Chancellor,) with a salary of ro per annum. At present, there is but one Yice Chancellor attached to, the court—in future there will also be another vice. e sie Mr. Cameron has also quarrelled with the minis- try, in consequence of the opposition offere? toa bill introduced by him for the purpose of effecting a division of the Gore district, in nearly the same manner as two other districts, which have been divided during the session. This bill, in conse- quence of it involving an additional expenditure out of the consolidated fund, to make, up the defi- ciency in the fund out of which the district judges are paid, ought by constitutional usage to have beena min‘sterial measure. It was not opposed at the first reading, but ut the second the greater part of the ministry stated heir intention to do so. Upon this, Mr. Cameron said he would ask the ‘evernment how they would explain their voteson the two bills they had already passed, if they were bent on opposing his bill, because it made a slight additional charge on the revenue? What honesty, what fairness or consistency, was there in such a course? How would he be able to explain to his constituents the fact that his own colleagues op- posed him? Te was placed in a position which he would not occupy, and he had been subjected to a kind of treatment which he did not understand. | This breach between Mr. Cameron and the min- isters will only hasten the resignation of the for- mer, which I mentioned to you in a former letter, trom good authority, was sure to happen. | At the afternoon sitting of Friday evening, the House was engaged in discussing the Upper Ca- nada Apportionment bill, in committee of the whole. Almost every clause wasvobjected to ; and the greatest bitterness on all sides of the House prevailed. The measure is one of Mr. Hinck’s in- troduction, and he was so annoyed at the opposi- tien it experienced, that he rose and levied a storm of abuse at the usual ministerial supporters. Mr. Morrison here rose, and ordered the Hon. Inspector General to keep his impertinence to him- self, as he, Mr. M., was the last person that would submit to oflicial insolence. So great was the sur- prise at Jast, that the House was obliged to rise and adjourn. These ‘scenes’ go some length to peove that the Strong muistry is doomed to_ an early destruc- tion. The people have again raised into a perfect furor of excitement, in consequence of a rumor that the ‘* Rebellion Losses” bill was to be sanc- tioned on Friday next. I sincerely hope such may the case, for the manner in which the people have been kept on the qui vive for the last two months, has strung the nerves of the masses to such a height, that I very much fear whichever way the.measure oes, the day on which it is dis- posed of will end ina disturbance. The ‘ League” is gradually becoming stronger every day. As I supposed would be the case, the “address” has met great discountenance from the public generally, in Cine i) of the last para- raph. In Upper Canada, I very, much fear it will fe the means of losing the Association in the me- tropolis its parental authority, and the transfer- ring of that authority to an association, to be, esta- blished in Toronto, The Courier published in its Saturday number an able letter from a correspon- dent, on the benefits of annexation In the markets not much activity as yet been displayed. Large supplies of produce have come, and a great quantity is on its way. In the ashes markets a shipment of 250 bbls. of pots has been made to New York. The following are the receipts of produce by the Lachine Canal up to the present: flour, 5,126 bbls,; pork, 147 bbls.; fruit, 25 bbls.; butter, 15 Kens timothy, 5 bbls. The celebrated Milton Mi near Toronto, have lately been destroyed by fire Through the politeness of an eminent brokering firm [have been enabled to obtain the following interesting information relative to our traffic with the United States. Every year shows an increase in the business between the two countries; and Iam, certain you will be prepared for the statement of the large amount of business done. In 1848, our exports to the United States in live stock amounted to $216,973. 50, of which the value of horses alone wae $136,000—all these horses were of course under- valued. ‘In this traffic the increase is exccedingly great. The amount of specie carried out of the country was $145,601. This large amount, leaving us has materially added to the causes which have produced the great depression in our trade. In sheep skins the value is $79,390 ; furs, $42,564; lumber, ,000; ashes, $176,000; flour, $1,244,000, over hia at is sent by sea; ‘wheat, $256,000; wool, $24,000. Ido not enumerate the smaller items of exports, as I consider the foregoing staple articles of our trade sufficient to show how every day. the ties which bind us to the United States are being very closely linked, The total amount exported for 1848 to the United States was $3,089,730. I may as well cite, as an example of the greatl: depressed state of the country, that in 1846 the stoc! ery Canadian bank was above par, and the quotations of the past week show nearly all below it, The imports of goods into Canada from the United States last year, paying ad valorem duties, was $2,161,972, 7 7, ; : The following statistical information regarding the progress and advancement of the Canadas, may net be uninteresting te your readers, as they will. by the perusal of it, be enabled to judge ef the value of Canada as ‘an annexed pro- Vinee. A lengthy account has been published b the Montreal Herald, from which, together wit! the appendix to the first dys of the Board of = Registiation and Statistics, | have been enabled to cull the fellowing interesting details :—The quan- tity of unemployed lund now in the hands of the government 1s 6,210,322 acres, of which 1,000,000 during the present session of Parliament have been set apart for the endowment of schools, with the further provision that the money received for all future sales of crown lands shall be applied for the same purpose, until a school fund of $4,000,000 shall have been formed. Besides this, there are still vast wildernesses unsurveyed. A calculation foanded on previous censnees, sho po; for 1848, in Canada East, (or Lower Canada,) of 768,334, being an increase of 334,704 souls in 23 years. At this ratio, Canada East takes about thirty years to double itself. In Canada West, (or Upper Canada,) the popn- lation for 1818, 723,292, an increase of 565,265 in twenty-three years. Western Canada doub! itself in eleven years. It is a most extraordinary yet, undoubted fact, that the per centage of persons aflicted with various calematies, such as deaf, damb, &c., is greater than in the United States or any other part of the world, The proportion is abot 1 ia every 370. phe For the benefit of any of your fair readers willing 4o ome and try their luck, the report states that the proportion of the sexes throughout the country is 88 toyzales to 100 males. : Ly thegeligious census, I find that in the Pro- vinee the .-piscopalian number is 166,340; the Church of Rome 119,810. The value of assessed property in 1848 is $34,268,000, ‘ In 2% years, the number of grist mills had in- evensed fom 232 to 527, and of saw mills from 394 to 1,489; the numer ef acres under cultivation from 535,212 to 2,6/,820; of houses from 8,876 to 42,997; and of horses, oxen, milch cows and young enttle together, from 12,'.206 to 481,417. _ The compaii:on of Caxtada West with the State of New York in these partaculars is by no means calculated to encourage the erroneous impressions, for erroneougtwe have alwove ¢ onsi !ered them—ot the superiority of our neighbors on the South of the #t. Lawrence. From the cenays of the State of New York for 188—the latest land census we aged NG EDITION-----FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1849. have at hand—we lear that after 221 years of settlement, New York had a population of 2,174,517 souls, and 9,655,426 acres of cultivated land—1 acre to every 4) of the population; whereas the census of Canada West for 1848 shows that after only seventy years settlement we possess the much larger proportion of one acre to every 33 of the population, the quantity of cultivated land being, as we have seen, 2,673,820 to a population ol 292. ‘The returns relative to our wealth in cattle are also exceedingly satiafactery. By them we find there is nearly one head to every head of a famil! of our population. The maple sugar crop for 1848, is estimated at 4,160,667 Ibs. Of wool there were 2,339,756 lbs. produced in 1848, which is an increase of more than fifty per cent in six years. Of tobacco 1,865 Ibs.; of flux 41,599 lbs.; of beef and pork 99,251 barrels. in manufactures we have also made much pro- gress. In the United Province there are 661 fulling and carding mills, 130 breweries, 174 distilleries, 389 tanneries, 1,740 asheries, 10 paper mills, 19 trip hammers, 14 oil mills, and 9 nail factories. Be- sides these, there are in Western Canada, one rope walk, one candle factory, one cement mill, one salaratus factory, 8 soap factories, 11 pail factories, 1 last factory, 3 tobacco factories, 2 steam engine factories, 1 ship-yard, 8 potteries, 1 vinegar fac- tory, 5 chair factories, 2 brick yards, 1 axe factory, 6 plaster mulls, 1 comb factory, 10 shingle. eG wollen factories, and 105 founderies, ‘The | follow. ing is the produce of some of these factories—all in Canada West:—Of fulled cloth, 624,971 yards; of linen, 71,715 yards; flannel, 1,205,172 yards. The total increase in the annual production of these articles in six years has been 664,141 yards—the in- crease being very nearly equal to one yard for each individual of the population. The whole ofthe in- crement, however, has occurred upon the woollen ods, as there is a considerable falling off in inens, which we have deducted to arrive at the above figures. Our Central American Correspondence, San Mievutt, Sept., 1848. Singular Shipwreck—The Trade of the Pacific Sea- ports—The English— The King of the Most quitos, $c., §c. * * * * * * The celebrated Indian, Carera, who was the cause of the downfall of Morazan, in Guatemala, some eight or ten years ago, and succeeded him to the Presidency, has been driven out of the city by what are called the ‘factionists,” and, it is sup- posed, will not be able to regain his footing again. He was the one who imprisoned the editor of the Album, of Guatemala, for writing somewhat liberally in his paper. We had quite a singular loss of a brig called the Frederic, Capt. Splisola, off Puerto Anna, in Nica- ragua, the other day. On the 4th of July, he sailed from Rialjo, and when he had made four days’ sail, standing about 60 leagues from off this point, awhale came with tremendous force against the keel, carrying away it and several planks ; and, of course, the water began to fill the vessel imme- diately. The captain, to save her, began to throw out his cargo, but all to no purpose ; and, after a fruitless attempt of some twenty-two. hours, he was obliged to abandon her. Cargo and vessel a total loss. | She had a cargo of near $40,000, belonging principally to the merchants of San Miguel. She was loaded with indigo and hides, and bound for Lima, where she was owned ; and I am under the impression that nothing was insured, owing to the fact that we have no way of insuring on this coast. I suppose you have heard, ere this, that the Hon- duras government have declared, by a. decree of Novemver 7, 1847, the island of ‘Tigre, in the Gulf of Conshagua, or Fouseca, a ‘free port,” to con- tinue as such for ten years; on the strength of which the house I am with have put upa large storehouse there, and we are going to do business ona free scale, and not, pay twenty per centon our goods. This island is situated beautifully on the Gulf of Fouseca, and vessels can anchor within two or three hundred yards of our store, having in. the channel about from seven to nine fathoms of water. The captain of the Brewster, from New York, when he was here, said he had never seen amore beautiful harbor. When we get our new line of steamers from between New York and Chagres, Panama and the great Californias, they will have to touch here, and no doubt the United States government will be able to make a very good arrangement with Honduras for it, after the expiration of the ten years. Be this as it may, itis the safest harbor on the Pacific coast, between Cape Hom and Acapulco. The island of Quibo, near Panama, that the government spoke of buy- ing, has not the advantages that this one possesses. If that “great canal” ever connects the two mighty oceans, this will then be the principal harbor, as it is the only safe one between Panama and all the coast of Central America. : The English have too much interest in all the Pacific South American trade to force the opening of the canal ; their merchants are one hundred to one on this coast, and they are afraid Lima will fall, Valparaiso, and, in fact, all the South Ameri- can ports inthe Pacific, because the trade will go new towards California and Central America. They may stick up an Indian King, but that does not blind'us to the farce. I suppose their present King is like the former King Robert, of the Mos- quitoes, who went to Belize to be received by the authorities, and after they had gone through the ceremonies, he retired to, Polly Somebody’s grog siop, and at dusk was picked wi by the police, ficma muddy gutter into which he had fallen, on his return to his kingdom. Some American cap- tain invited him to dine on board his vessel at Ja- maica, and, when he was eating, ordered two of his sailors to tie him up to the mast, and then taking a rope’s end, gave him thirty-nine, at e cut saying, ‘You are the d—d Indian who stole my two demijohns of rum.” F , Tins conclude; and if at any time it may be agreeable to you to hear from me, let me know, and, as far as plain, matter-of-fact things are con- cemed, why, I will be happy to give them to you in a plain, matter-of-fact way.

Peters.—This was a puil to recover $80 svaman’s wages, on the ground that the captain discharged the libellant. It seemed the vessel. of which the defendant ia master, and the palintift one of the crew, belongs to Hamburgh, and by the shipping articles, Peterson was bound to return with her, and not to demand any wages until they arrived back at Hamburgh. While in port, he was arrested on a criminal charge, to on a charge of seduction, While in custody ofan officer, he went on board and demanded wages from th: tain; the latter refused, and ordered bim to leave vessel, This act of the captain's, it was ingisted, was a complete discharge, and entitled the plaintiff to recover his wages. The court hel@that the plaintiff being under legal arrest, tho captain could not receive him_on board until he was Lig discharged, and therefore he was justified in what he did, and that plaintiff having signed the ship- ping articles, by whe he had bound himself to return with the yerscl, and to demand no wages until his re- turn, the court could not interfere, unless a clear case of discharge was made out. Libel Forging Land Warrants.—A wm Healy was arrested this morning, on a charge of selling forged land warrants, It appeared that Healy sold Mr, D. B, Taylor, last October, a land warrant, or a dis- charge upon which a land Warrant is obtained, Mr. Tuylor was in W: # ington lately, and ascertained that this direharge or warrant, with many others, were forgeries. He met the fellow to-day at a broker's office in Wall street, and arken him had he any more war- rants for sale, and he said he had, and offered to sell one tohim, Mr. Taylor took it out of his hand, went out and called an officer, and bad him arrest He was committed for examination, It seems there are a number of forged discharges on the file at Washing- ton, «cme which bave actually passed, and land war- rents granted on them, Common Pleas—General Term—In Banco, ‘Arnit, 26,—Kelly vs, Sumre* and Anothe, —Verdiet f defendant, Wheeler, and against defendant, Suinner.

CRIMINAL COURT. Before Judge J. H. Crawford. Wasuincrox, April 25, 1840. For the United States. Mr. Key; for the defence Messrs. Radcliffe and Carlisle. The examination of witnesses tor the defence was resumed, Honack: Stunpevant, being sworn, testified—I know the prisoner at the bar; I reside in Philadelphia, and am an engraver. I have frequently seen the prisoner write [Letters to the President, in relation to the jewels, shown.} This does not look like his usual hand- writing ; it does not resemble anything I have seen him write; his usual handwriting is different. 1 do not know Henry B. Jones ; 1 am not personally acquainted with him; I saw him at Shuster’s house on Thanks- giving day. Mr. Rabctirrs—Better bring Mr. Jones into court, The bailitt it in search, and returned with Mr. Jones, who took s seat within the bar, quietly. Mr. Rapcuirre—Mr, Sturdevant, would you know the man were you to see him? ‘Witrrss—I saw him in uniform. Mr. Ker—Look round ; do you see anybody here who looks like bim ? ‘The witness took a survey of the mass of heads, an! ointing to a tall gentleman, with black hair and w! ers, exclaimed, * That looks like him.’? Mr. Rapcuirre—Step in, sir. The man designated came in front, holding his hat in his hand, and seemingly abashed that he should be mis- taken for one of the very numerous family of the Joneses, Mx. Rapciirre—Is that the man ? Tur Wi 1 can’t say positively. Mx. Rapcuirrn—Were ie introduced ? Tue Witness—I was talking to my aunt in the room, Tur Courr—Who is your aunt? Tur Witwese—Mr. Shuster'’a wife. I wai told thas Jones came on with a uniform company. Mx. Cantiste—It was night: were you in the samo room ? Tux Witxeas—I was in another room, There was much noise, such as shuffling of feet, coughing, and conversation among the spectators, Orricen oF tux Covnt—* Silence ! silence!” “ gen- tlemen, silence !”; and on the other side of the room, another officer gave the echo, “ Silence ! silence !’” to Count—There seems to be an effort to make a noise. ‘There was an interval of several minutes, and the officers turned the spectators out of the enclosure. ‘Tue Witness resumed—I heard some of the eonver- sation between Jones and Shuster. It was about busi- ness and his family. Tux Court—The man you supposed to be Jones, ‘Tux Witness—I think one of Shuster’s children was there. I did not see Mrs. Powell in the room. Cross-ezamined by Mr. Key.—Thanksgiving day was in November ; I don't recollect the day of the month. I reside in Philadelphia, I was at Shuster’s house prior to thanksgiving day ; I think I was there the day be- fore that ; I had been there daily, for I boarded there. Mr, Cariiste—There is such a noise we can’t hear. Tue Covrt—Silence must be kept. If they don’t keep quiet, bring them before the Court. Tue Orricer (in a loud voice)—* Gentlemen, you must keep silence!” “Silence!” (after a pause, and with strong emphasis,) “Silence !”? ‘Tux Witxxss—I ate my supper and breakfast there. I keep an office in Walnut street. | saw Jones in the back room. I was in the front. had frequently heard of Jones being acquainted with the family, Mr. Shus- ter asked him whether he could not open a shoe store in Philadelphia, Jones said no, for the work could not beso well done there. I never saw Jones there before. He then had on an undress uniform. I can’t say whe- ther it was black or blue, with brass buttons ; military buttons were on the cap. Tux Courr (to one of the officers)—Go down stairs and silence those children, and send them away. ‘The Wirxvss—Having heard that Jones said that he was never in Shuster’s house, this recalled to my mind that 1 had seen him there, In reply to a question by Mr. Radcliffe, he said that he was never befort in court as a witness; und, in re- sponse to one by Mr. Key, that he had never done any engraving for Shuster. [Letters shown.] I never saw Shuster write anything but in his natural hand, and there is no resemblance between his yaiting, and that of the February letter. It is different from his natural handwrighting. [can’t say that there is either a re- semblance or no resemblance, that | can gee. Mr. Cancisee: Key, you bave asked him that question half a dozen times: ‘Lhe Counr—Yes, seven or eight times. Mr. Key—Mr, Carlisle ought to haye been stopped as well as me, Mr. Ravetirre—Two wrongs do not make a right. H. B. Jones was recalled by the counsel for the de- fenc Mr. Cantistx—Mr. Jones, have you seen Webb since you came to this city ? Mr. Kev—I must object to this question, Mr. Cartistx—Well, we must take his silence as an admission that be has seen him, Mr. Ranciurrs—I have seen him, but have not dined with him, Mr. Cantistr—When you first came on, you stated, on the former trial, that you were in custody of Stewart and Smith, Did they take you first to the office of the District Attorney, where you met with him amd Mr. Burke? Mr. Jonrs—I went to breakfast first, Mr. Cantisix—Are you in custody now ? Mr. Joxss did not answer. ‘The defence having no more witnesses present, the counsel «aid that they had closed, and told Mr. Key to goon, Accordingly, Mr. Cuans vin was called, and testified that he winted with Mr. Blaney for fifteen or care, Kry—Do you know John Duncan and Jerry 1sts:—I am willing to let the witness go on to the {ull extent of the inquiry; but I am not disposed to let Mr. Key block the game on me. If these persons be attacked, | shail ask for further time to procure wit- nesses in their detence. It is due tothem. They have relations in society a# dear to them as any other per- sons. The point is Blancy’s character ‘It is due to them that they should have an opportunity to produce their witnesses, ‘the he witnesses who swear to character ean be attacked in turn. Mr. Cantiste—I know that there is some authority for this, but J think that a different decision has been made in the Circuit Court, The Covrt—The kennels of New York, Philadelphia and Washington might be scoured. Mr. Rapctirre—We, then, can only attack their witnerses. ‘Lhe Court—It must be so on principle, though I re- gret it ix not otherwise. Mr. Cariirle filed a third bill of exceptions. Mr. Gitrin resumed, as a witness. 1 baye known Mr. Hughes (a witness for the defence) but a short time, by name, but not by sight. I know nothing about his fixed character. I have known Duncan, (another witnest for the defence.) I have heard imputations on his character for truth and veracity for some time past, Judging from this, 1 don’t think his character very fine, Mr. Cantisin—Will you state whether you ever heard tion on Blaney's character? ix—I have, Mr. Cantisie—If you were to judge by it, would you not say that his character was bad? Mr. Gitrin—I would judge of character by the source, and would be pleased to state that a man in the police businers cannot make an arrest without haying an im- putation cast on his character Mr. Ra ‘That will do; sit down, Mr. T. Woon McKixten, recalled.—He knew nothing about Duncan's character for truth and veracity being brought into question; he had heard Hughes's charac- ter for truth and veracity spoken of as a little doubtful. Mr, Givein reealle il that he would hesitate be- fore believing Duncan on his oath, on aecount of his pereenal habits, Mr. Cantisi—You meaning drinking, ete.? Mr. Gurix—That would give strength to the impres- sien. Hexny Kiwe, who resides in Philadelphia, had d persons say that they could not believe Duncan h; be was all the time drunk, and they had no confidence in him, The character of Blaney stands high; he can feteh some of the best men in Philadel- phia to say £0, Mr. Cantisce—Never mind that, Did you ever hear jurymen tay that they would not believe Blaney on his cath? Mr. Kurxe—Some thieves and vagabonds, such as that (pointing at Shuster) ray to the contrary. Mr. Cancisix—I am quite ratisfied with you, sir, ALrxanper Prevost swore that he has known Blaney for filteen years, and looked on him as a man of yera- cit Wis. Canuisne— The donttivane your opinion. Mir. Rancrarrs.— What have you heard people say? Mr. Prrvost—I never heard’ anything derogatory to his character. 1 lived in Philadelphia twenty years ago, and have been there occasionally, Mr. Cantists—That is not sufficient, ‘The Covrt—Neighborhood is co-extensive with ac- —I tried to get witnesses from Phila- ad known this, | would have been saved Cross-exzamined by Mr. Cancistr—Never heard ot the Lereure robbery, and Blaney employing Shuster to fet him out of the scrape, and am ignorant of all these things. Mr. Ravetiyre—We are much obliged to you; sit down, t, Thomas Donanoo (clerk in the office of the Na- al Intelligencer) testified that it was almost beyond memory of man that he knew Mr. Blaney; he knew him personally before he removed to Philadelphia, ir, Blaney worked in the Intelligencer office years ago. Never heard anything derogatory to his character. Ho would as soon believe him on oath as any gentleman rerent, Pair, Canuinoe (emiling)—Don't look at me, Bir. Donahoo started to go out, Mr. Cantiere called him back, and said: “It was long ago, before time thinned your flowing flocks, that you were acquainted with him—when you and Blaney were in the rame office. Mr, Doxanoo—I knew him twenty or thirty years ago more or less, He then worked asa printer; and my acquaintanee commenced with him as soon as come to Washington. | do not recollect that on White's tel anything was raid derogatory to his charaeter, I have heurd nothing of the Lereure robbery Wr. Cancmere—It he hag lost the froshnes and bloom of charaster Which he had twenty vx thirty yeare ego, yeu don’t Naow the fact. Mr. Doxanoo—No; one of the jury (Mr Bryan) is ac- quainted with him,’ eid Mr. Cantisis—How long has it been sinee Blaney lived here? Mr. Brvax—Twenty-seven or twenty-eight years Wittiam Tuomrxson testified that he has known Blaney since the trial of White, (for eetting fire to the ‘Treasury building.) in 1885; never had heard his char- acter impeached for truth and veracity, He would be- lieve him on oath Cross-examined.—Had seen Blancy here and in Phila- delphia since White's trial, and do not reeolleet that his character was then questioned. Mr. Buaxey, (who was sitting in court.) sald—My character was not attacked; insinuations were thrown out, Mr. Kay (to Blaney,)—Never mind. Mr. Rapctirre—That was personal, Ha! ha! . Hinxie was recalled, and said that he had never heard the character of Blaney attacked, except what was raid by police officers 1n odties—town talk—same us about this case, He would believe Blaney on his oath. Jonx Davis sworn—Had seen Shuster in New Yerk. Mr. Cantiste—What’s that you intend te prove? Mr, Kny remarked that this was rebutting proof. The eyidence he wished to offer was, that in the early part of November last, the prisoner called on the witness, and exhibited to him certain diamonds, and asked to sell them, He wax aware that objection would be made that this ought to have been offered as testimony in chief, and he was aware that there was not the least doubt that the evidence was not strictly of a rebutting charaater, Mr. Caxuistx: replied, and ‘The Covur decided that the testimony could not now be received. It was too lute, W. W. Skatox, Mayor of Washington, and one of the proprletors of the National Intelligencer, testified that he had known Blaney #o many years that he could hacdly come within ten years of the time, He was in witness's office twenty years ago, and witness had seen him occ sionally since then. Never heard his charactor for truth and veracity questioned. He would believe him on oath, or without it {Al Canuiste—I think that you are mistaken as to me.

Fas he knew, was unimpeachable Mr, Caxtistz—He ouly has one fault, which Savage, the temperance man, would not like. Mr. Rancuirre—Savage would hang him. Mr. Cantisie—Suvageis not on the jury now Cross-examined—Did not hear Duncan talked about seven or eight years ago, when witness lived in Phila- delphia, Mr, Cantistx—Mr. Key, none of your witnesses heard Blaney talked about, (Ha! ha!)

Mr, Moors: said that he would believe Duncan on his oath, Mr, Sima, a clerk in one of the publie offices, knows Hughes, and would believe him on oath, All the testimony having been given, Mr. Kny addressed the jury, reviewing the evidence, and insisting that Schuster sicle the jewel Mr. Rapctirrs, replied, and, in the course of his re- marks, suid that he had seen it stated in the New Fork Herald, that. England, France, or some other pow would steal Cuba from Spain; it would be better for the United States to send Jim Webb over the Ocean to steal it. Jim Webb, he understood, had, to-day, bi arrested and cast into jail, pre ly to keep him there until the government was ready to send him out as Mi- nister to Madrid. Mr, Canuisur followed on the same side, contending that the thief who stole the jewels is, as yet, unscathed by justice. He had not spoken more than fifteen mi- nutes, when a prior engagement forced him to depart. And the court adjourned until to-morrow morning, at 10 o'clock, .

Joun Wuirtock examined for the defence—Knows the prisoner kince he was a little boy; his character ix good; I never knew anything against him. Briixpa Steimaex knew the prisoner in Ireland, when he was a boy; never heard anything against him; ‘The evidence for the defence was here closed, and He said prironer’s counsel commenced summing up. that, from the nature of the charge against the pri- roner, it was imporsible for him to produce proof to re- but it; moreover, his destitute situation has added to his embarrastment. He reminded the Jury that for five or six months before the oecurrenc wife live there prisoner und his uipon the most anicuble terme; they would, re, on investigating the case, look to the mode tich they lived together, and ask themselves what or object the prisoner could have in committing ro stupendous # crime? He then went over the testi- mony in the cause, explaining away, as he went along, all the inferences unfavorable to the prisoner which might be drawn from it. The theory of the defence was, that it wax some one elee, and not the prisoner, who put the arsenic inte the cakes. ‘The Distriet Attorney replied, ufter which, the Judge summed up; the Jury then retired, and in half an hour returned, with a dict of guilty. ‘The prisoner heard the verdict with great composure. He was then removed, and ordered to be brought up on Monday, to reecive sentence. The Jury were discharged until Monday. Superior Court. Before Judge Bandford. Arnis. 26.—James ¥. Seaman vs, Rufus C.

The defendant's porter then suggested to him that plaintiff would be glad to do the carting for the store, and would pay the note besides, Defendant said be would employ bim if he suited. The plaintiff came there, and it was agreed that if the plaintiff paid the note and suited their employment they would give him the carting.

We now learn that a farm, situated in the neighborhood of Plainfield, owned by these counter- feiters, had been sold by them, and that the purchaser had discovered, on taking possession, a very extensive apparatus for coining, together with a large quantity of the base coin in the rough state, ready for the die. Information of this fact was given to our efficient Chief of Police, Mr, Mataell, who caused the whole of the apparatus to be seized, and immediate information forwarded to Washington, We are in possession of all the particulars in this case, but defer giving them until we see what action the government will take in the matter. Better Late than Never.—An old offender, by the name Thomas Conroy, was arrested yesterday by officer on a charge of un old indictment, pending against him since the year 1842, wherein he stands charged with stealing atpackage from the Phenix Bank, in Wall street, containing $1,0°3. It app aa. from the facts in the case, that Conroy anda man by the name of Charley Wheeler, (who is now confined in the State prison.) stole the money, and obtained an exchange at the Long Island Bank, in bills of that bank. Then Conroy took $1,500, and made a special deposite at the Butchers’ and Drovers’ Bank, and obtained a certificate from the Bank for that umount. This robbery took place on the 8th day of February, 1842, and on the 6th of March following, the rogue Was endeavoring to ne- otiate the certifi im a lawyer's office. when officer jowyer pounced upon him, and found on the person of Conroy, the certificate of deposite. The accused was then committed to prison, but subsequently obtained bail, and the bank récovered the $1,500, Conroy then absented himself from the city until the year 1846, when he wax arrested again by officer Bowyer, in Nassau street on a charge of attempting to pick the pocket of a mer- chant. The book contained several hundred dollars, For this attempt at grand larceny, Conroy was tried, convict- ed, and kentenced to ser erm of two years and six months in the State prison at Sing Sing. “This term of imprixonment Conroy served out, and now he is arrest- ed again on the former charge, His honor the Mayor committed him in full for trial, to answer the char; Charge of Stealing a Watch and Money.—Ofiiver Fill man of the Fourth ward, arrested, last night, a woman by the name of Ellen MeBride, on a charge of robbing a man by the name of John Kenny, of a silver lever watch and chain, valued at $35, also, a bag containing $7. It appears the complainant was drunk and sitting down on the steps of Tammany Hall, and this woman came along and sat along side of him, representing that she was his wife. The officer watched her a few sec- onds, when he observed her take the watch from the an, and she was just making off, when he took her into custody, and likewii din her possession the bag containing the $7. ‘This evidence being conclusive, Justice MeGrath committed her to prison for trial. Attempt to Pick a Pocket.—A young man of genteel appearance, by the name of Albert Remington, was ar- rested on Wednesday evening, on a charge of attempt- ing to pirk the pocket of John Patten, residing at the Barclay street Hotel. It appears the accused rubbed his hand against the pocket of Mr. Patten, which con- tained a book with $63. Mr. Patten not being pleased with the operation, seized him and caused him to be taken to the «tation house. was yesterday held to bail to answer the charge. Loss of a Pocket Book and. Money.—A young man by the name of Michael Hull, of Saratoga county, New York, on landing fron the steamboat Rip Van Winkle, ‘day morning, was relieved. by some expert pick- pocket, of his pocket book, containing $150, and in the lieu thereof the thief put in the place of it, another pocket book, and it was not until Hull wanted to use some of the money, that he discovered his loss, Noclue as yet to the thief or money. City Intelligence. Mysteniovs Avrain.—A most mysterious affair came off yesterday, which, when properly investigated, will cause a tremor to take possession of some parties who have stood before the world blameless. About half past nine o'clock yesterday morning, a man of genteel ap- pearance, and apparently about forty yours. of age, called upon a hackman named John Riley, at the Park stand, and bargained for the taking of a Indy from the corner of Barclay street and Brondway, to No. 104 Greene street. The lady seemed very feeble, and was assisted into the carriage by the man who had engaged it, He then kissed her and bade her farewell, and told the driver to call at the corner of Chambers and Green- wich streets for some baggage. ‘The carriage was stop- ped at the latter named place, when a bundle and carpet bag were put inside, The carriage was then driven to No, 104 Greene strect, a respectable house, and the lady, after a great deal of difleulty, got out, the bundle and carpet bag having been taken into the house. On his return, and when only a short distance from the house, the driver looked into his carriage, and ‘a large cirele of friends, her loss will be dircovered a bundle, Supposing the lady had left it, he immediately examined it to see what it was, when he discovered & female infunt, apparently & few hours old, dead and covered with blood. His suspicions bein, excited, he drove to the Fighth Ward Station House, an went to the place where he left the Indy. Sho was just Preparing to leave, and a few minutes more, all elue to er whereabouts would be lost. She was taken to the Station House by officer Underhill, but she refused to say anything of the affair or circumstances connected with it! Her name is aid to be Sarah Montross, and resides somewhere up the North river, She is appa- rently about thirty-eight years of age, and of reapectable family, An invest'gution will be made to-day, more light will probably be thrown upon the aifair; so far all remains clouded in mystery. Finx.—A fire broke out about ten o'clock last night, in the large two story and attic dwelling house, No. 58 Greenwich street, the roof and attic of which were destroyed. Dr, Hartley moved from the premises yes- terday, and another family were moving in, whose name could not be ascertained. The house belongs to Curtis Bolton, and was probably damaged to the amount of $700, which i# covered by insurance, The fire com- municated to the roof of house No. 6, occupied by Mr. Sheppard, whieh suffered very trifling damage. It belongs to Pentz & Co., and was fully insured. It is not known how the fire originated, as no fire had been in that part of the house during the day or night, and it was not discovered until the flames burst through the roof.

Mrs. Wallack can, indeed, claim a high position in the ranks of her profession ; a8 Lady Mac- th, Pauline, Clara in “Money,” Elvira in “Pi: ‘of and ‘several other characters, she has displayed most consummate skill as an actress; but her acting as Vvudne last evening’ in the magnificent tragedy of the “Bridal,” exceeded anything we have yet seen her do, and the immense audience which so densely thro the house, exhibited the most marked proof of the re satisfaction which her performance we them; ft was a most intellectual and lofty pleee of acting om her part, such as we haye seldom seen equalled on any stage. We trust, before the conclusion of th he Wallacks will again appear in this piece, a8 ‘allack’s acting was equally as splendid an effort. as that of his talented lady. Nor must we omit notic- ing the excellent manner in which Mr, MacFarland played Amintor; it was very much applauded, We are glad to see this gentleman on the Bowery boarde— he ix a young actor of much talent. The “Bridal” was received with such enthusiasm, that, as we have said before, we trust the public will be fayored with a rope- tition of it ere long, with the same excellent cast of characters as last evening. ‘To-night “Hamlet”? is to be played, Wallack as the noble Dune, Mrs. W. as the Queen ; the unfortunate Ophelia will be represented by Miss Mary Taylor. A grand ballet divertisement, in which Ciocea, Neri, and G. W. Smith, will appear, and a laughable farce, will form tho rest of the entertain- ments. Bnoapway Treatre.—Another crowded house greeted. Mr. Forrest last evening in the character of Macbeth. The attendance was very largo, and the applause very enthusiastic, Mr, Forrest's costume was magnificent, and the music of the piece—for the music of “Maebeth’? forma no inconsiderable portion of the interest of the play—was remarkably well executed. We thought we detected Fome voices among the witches that we have heurd long ago with pleasure on the old Park boards. We missed, to be sure, the merry face of poor Fisher, and the chubby profile of Povey; but we were re- minded. nevertheless, of olden tines, by the musieal tones of rome of those who have the principal parts in that witches chorus. Mr. Dyott's Macduff like every character that gentleman undertakes, was done better than it could be done by any body else we know of. The Lady Macbeth of Miss Fauny Wallack was not 80 good ax it might be; but it was nevortheless quite re- tpectuble. Mr. Fredericks, as Banquo, acted with his usual ability, It will be seen that we have not spoken of Mr, Forrest's Macbeth. We have avoided doing so, because we scarcely know what to say of it, It ex: hibited many points of force and excellence, but it certainly was not Macbeth according to our ideas of the chaincter. ‘The fact is, it is not @ part in which Mr. Forrest distinguishes himself, He is capable of doing it better than he has yet done it, however, and we think he could, with some care, improve his reading, Which is in many instances capricious and vague. He a ng in “Damon,” e part in which he has no superior. Mr. Dyott plays Pythias. Nationa Tueatre.—There was a fine house here last evening, and the performances were of the usual racy Cescription, The first piece was the farce of “ Cousin Joe” —a laughable enough affair, though it has not much of a plot, the principal fun in it being the awkword position in which the gaucheries of an unedueat- ed wife (Mins Mestayer) put a learned baronet (Dawes), whose hobby is educating every one around him. He has married his wife with the intention of educating her according to his ideas, after; but, as one of the eharac- ters in the piece pithily tells him, “it is imposaible to makeu rilk purse cut ofa,” &c, The climax is put to histroutles by a visit from her cousin Joe. All, how- ever, ends weil, as her ingenuous and candid nature shows him that she is, with all her faults, a better wife than some more polished and refined ones, who are not quite co candid in their dealings, ‘The farce was well received, and Booth, as the fumous Cousin Joe, was very conic, “A Ginuce at New York” was ‘next played, and Mose, as urual, was received with all the honors, Mr. Pardey’s new drama of the * Rights of Age,” anda tarce, concluded. ‘he “ Rights of Age” is u well written piece, and was well acted, too, To-night, Mr. Peterschen, the musical director, takes a benefit.

Bunron’s TusaTee.—This theatre was again well at- tended last evening. The pieces given were “ Breach of Promise,” “Socialixm,” and “Lucy did Sham Amour!’—three excellent pieces, although, we think, too much for one evening’s entertainment, as the audi- ence become fatigued with being kept s0 lute, and many, we observed, left the house before the termina- tion of the last piece. We never recollect seeing Mr. Burton play better than he did last evening. in Ebe- nezerSudd.n; aud Mis« Chapman, in her purt, together with Mr. Vernon, kept the audience delighted from first to last, ‘Socialism’ was again repeated, and in reene where the exchanging takes place in the line of money, the house was alinost convulsed with laugh- ter. ‘The entertainments concluded with the local bur leeque called “ Lucy did Shain Amour,” in whieh the whole force of the talented company is brought into requisition, Misk Chapman, Miss Hiffert, Mr. Meyer, hr, Johnston, and Mr, Jordan were particularly happy in their respective parts, To-night will be given “Dembey and Son,” with other entertainments.
