ADDITIONAL EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE, Our Paris Correspondence, Panis, May 21, 1849. ‘The Elections and their Result—Proceedings of the As- sembly—Crisis in French Affairs—The Bourse, $c. The current week is so pregnant with events of high importance, that I commence my letter to-day, 80 as to give you the impressions as they are produced here from day today, I had almost said from hour to hour. Like so many other epochs in the past fifteen months, ‘the present has been signalized by an event which has Dafiled all calculation—disappointing the hopes of some parties, exciting the elarms of others, and proving the fears of other parties to be groundless, It'is almost impossible to reason in these times. Po- Utieal conjectures must necessarily be based on ana- logy. We expect the future by comparing its likeness with the past. In these times there is ne analogy to guide, as allis unforseen, all unexpected. My last de- spatch, in which I announced to you the entire confi- dence of the moderate party that the result of the elec- tions would almost repel the ultra democrats, the reds, the socialists, and the communists, from the chamber, and the despair of these latter parties themselves, had not left the shores of England, before it became evident, othe estonishment of one oni and the consterna- tion of the other, that all these onticipations would prove groundless. On Thursday night, atter post hour, Fesults were obtained which first raised the alarm of the party of order, for they indicated the high proba- bility that eight or ten sdciali nd red republicans would be returned tor Paris, Th: Rouncements from the provinces were ecarcely less sinister. On Friday evening, before the Bourse opened, these oplaions were confirmed, Tho Paris list was proclaimed at the Hotel de Ville, Including ten socialists and red republicans; and what was more astonishing, three of the most ob- noxious of these, namely, Ledru Kellin himself, La- range, who is aceused of firing the pistol on the 2ith February, which caused the revolution, and Boichot, lately a private and now a sergeant in @ regiment of the line, were proclaimed at the head of the poll, hay- ing little less than half the entire ber of votes de- livered by the constituency of this great metropolis Men like O. Barrot aud Cavaigaac were placed : low them jn the list; and even the eighteen mode: 8 such as they are, who are returned for Paris, are not of ‘the stamp which was expected. The effect of this at the Bourse on Friday was of course tremendous; a fea ful panic was raised, The funds fell three francs. In ‘the course of Friday evening, further accounts arrived from thy provinces, still bringing the same reports of the unexpected success of the socialists and of the reds. Like reports continued to arrive on Saturday; another panic at the Bourse,and another fall of three franes, making six francs within little more than twenty-four ours. On Saturday the Assembly, which now holds the anomalous position of debating and assuming au- thority, while another Assembly actually exists, although not yet assembled, was the theatre of afurious discussion. This body, which is now, so to fpeak, dead, nevertheless has a sort of convulsive gal- vanized life, and the debate on Satarday was not a bad illustration of it, Those members of it who know that they will not be re-elected are in an agony of despalr. ‘With the greater number of them the 26f. a day con- stitute their sole support; they are their bread, meat and lodging. They know that they will lose this by the end of the week, and they are resolved to commit, before they leave the theatre of their action, as much mischief as possible. On Friday, accordingly, they proposed a decree that the tax on drink should be abolished from the Ist January next; but as this abo- lition would ereate a deficiency in the treasury to the trifling amount of 150 millions, they appended to their dec! ® clause that the government must invent another tax to supply the place of this. On Saturday they attacked the commend held by Gen. Changarnier, who has been the main instrument of preserving order in Paris for several months, and ehded, after a furious debate, in a vote, the effect of which is to render this command illegal. Whether the government will dis- mies Gen. Changarnier in compliance with this vote of the dying Assembly, is not as yet certain. My own m is, that they will: butif they do, another uredly take piace at the Bourse, and we full of four or five francs more We shall know more of this, however, before this letter is de- spatched, Monpay, May 21. ‘We have’ now before us the results of the clec- tions complete, except three departments, the co- Jonies and Algeria, which return together only 22 members. We know, therefore, 725 elections out of the total nuiaber of 750. The results are as follows :—Anti-eocialists, 611; s0- eialists, 217. Thus we may say t ten the elections are complete, the socialixt opposition in the new Cham- ber will amount to something less than one-third of the entire number. When it is considered that this opposition Is n com- pact mass, which will act a* ® simgle man, that (whether the conviction be well or ill-founded) they believe that the army ia with them, and that if they are supported by a manifestation out of doors, nothing can prevent the Chamber from being invaded, and the majority thus coerced, you will understand in what a difficult position the new men will find themselves Placed. day passes that somo more extraordinary fea- tures in this crisis are not developed. You, who so well recollect the singular position assumed by Lamartine, last April, when that eminent person had France at his feet, was returned for 13 or 14 departwents, in- eluding the capital, and had only to signify his assent to be made the Provisional President of the Republic. and its virtual dictator, will doubtless be astonished when I now tell you that that same Lamartine is not only not retupned for Paris, but not returned for the departments—that he is even rejected in his own de- partment, and his own town of Macon, where, hither- to, he has been the idol, and for which he was con- stantly returned under the monarchy. It is, [ repeat it, an almost incredible fact that out of the 86 departments of France, and among the 750 representatives selected by the universal suffrage, the illustrious poet, the im- mortal dencuncer of the red flag, the apostle of the revolution of 1848, and the idol of the people of May last, is actually not returned to the Assembly. But this is not all; the honest, pure, sincere and consistent xepublican, ho who had the boldness to support demo- eratic opinions in the face of the powers of the monareby, Garnier Pagés, has not found a nook to oc- cupy in the new Assembly. He, like Lamartine, is re- jected by the people of universal suffrage. Nor iseven this all; Marie. another eke be id consistent republican, who led a large perty of the extreme left, in the old chamber, was(a leading member of the provisional government of February, and of the Execatiye Com- mission of May, who was Minister of Justice under General Cayaignac—Marie has shared the fate of his friends, Lamartine and Garnier Pages. ‘Thus, of the five members of the Executive Commis- sion whieh governed France in May to the 24th of June, three, Lamartine, Maris, and Garnier Pages, are cx- eluded from the Legislative Assembly by the present electors The individual of this commission who was then most obnoxious, M. Ledru Rollin, is now not only re- turned for Paris by the e¢ of half the entire number of the electors who ayailed themselves of the privilege of suffrage, but also reveral of the departments, being at the head of the poll in the native department of La- martine. ‘The venerable Dupont, (de 1'Eure.) the patriarch of re- publicanism, and the chief of the provisional government of February, is also excluded from the new chamber, being rejected in his own department of the Eure, and superseded by the Duc de Broglie, an ex-president of the council under Louis Philippe. Let us take, for a moment, a retrospect of the provi- sionsl government of February, and see what has be- geome of its members. ‘This government was composed as follows :—Lamar- tine, Arago, Marie, Garnier Pages, Dupont (de l'Eure,) Louis Blane, Albert, Ledru Rollin, Flocon, Cremieux, ‘Marrast, and Paguerre. Of these, Lamartine, Marie, Garnior Pages, Dupont (de l’Eure) Louis Blane, Al- bert, Flocon, Marrast, and aguerre. are rejected by the present elections; Louis Blanc is in exile; and Albert is in the fortress of Doullen, under sentence of trans- portation, "As 1 anticipated yesterday, Gen, Changarnier has been removed fromjthe command of the National Guard, in consequence of the vote of the Assembly of Satur- day. The injurious consequenco of this measure ha been attempted to be remedied, by appointing the chief of hie staif, Gen. Perrot, to the command of the Nation- al Guard, retaining Gon, Changatnler in the comzaand of the troops of the line. This, however, is only an od interis F : but, at the present moment, eve- Tersvay, May 22. Yesterday produced an event without any parailel since the first days of the revolution of February. The were actually precipitated down- wards to such an extent that there was a fall amoant- ing to7 franes on the previous closing prices. ‘Thus we have the 5 per cents, whieh, eight days ago, were at 01, actually sold at being # fall of 116 francs in a week. ‘Thia, | repeat, except at @ moment of actual revolution, is without a parailel, The canse of this 1 have already partly, but only partly, explained.

Such @ project was intended to bo bromcht forward, Dut, owing to the house not being ins nt naw failed. You are a that 606 votes ure neces » give validity toa decision, A great number of ate party now systematically abstain feou voting, for the express purpose of rendering the votes invalid. This magreuvre was practiovd yesterday with success. M, Cremvux has, however, given notice that will bring forward the question of a genural am- Besty to-day. A paviec at the- Bourse through the capital will, of course, be the conseqnence Wrowss say, May 23. ‘The Constituent Assembly is resolved to dic game, ‘The furious mountainvers, standing ow their benches and waving their bats, shout that “at least they'll die with harness on their backs.” Scenes like those ex- hibited fier ere im the Assembly, are without parallel ivilized world. The Assembly being morally dead, is nevertheless in species of convulsive vitality, and, like Pgoivenizad corpse, it flings its arms and legs about with ap ap- earance of reckless Seeperahion, striking friends and foes iaciferently, who pen to be within its reach. You will comprehend this pair when | tell you that of the 850 Fimetaing members (for there are about fifty or so either dead, in prison under conviction ef crime, or in exile to escape punishment), 688 are not elected to the next Assembly, and will lose, therefore, $5 aday, which with the majority of them, is their sole means of support. Yesterday, they directed their efforts to plunge the country into war This was dispassionately remon- against by their friend, General Cavaignac, but even was received with shouts and execrations by the Mountain. The debate is to be continued to- day, and grave apprehensions continue to be enter- tained for the next three days, during which time this Assembly will continue to sit. ° You will perceive that yesterday it proposed to declare itself in permanence. The convulsions of the Assembly are shared by the Bourse. Having fallen precipitately 7 fr. the day be- fore yesterday, the funds rose 5 fr. yesterday, no intel- ligible political cause being discoverable. The rise was ascribed to the agency of speculators, Marshal Bugeaud returned to Paris yesterday, and was closeted with the President during the entire af- ternoon, It is now certain that the President is en- voring to get up a cabinet under the auspices of the rshal. Nothing as yet, however, has transpired, here are twenty-nine double elections in the new Assembly, twelve of which effect the members for Paria, and it is affirmed, believe with truth, that all the deputies for Paris whe have received double nomina- tions will select the departments in preferenee to the capital, so that there will be almost immediately ten vacancies in the representation of Paris, and conse- quenily a reproduction of atl the excitement attending an election in the capital. Bei M. Ledru Rollin, who in the opinion of many, a short time since, would not have been returned to the next Assembly at all, is returned for five departments, Gen. Changanier, of the extreme opposite color, is re- turned for three Napoleon Bonaparte, son of Jerome, who lately opposed his cousin the President in so vio- lent & manner, and who represents another faction, is also returned for three departments. Felix Pyat, the red republican and solialist, is also returned for three department. M. O. Barrot, differing in his policy from all these, is returned for two departments, M. Leon Faucher, againt whom the late vote of the Chamber was fulminated, and who was hurled from power in quence, has been very nearly returned for two artments. being actually returned for the Mazine, and having bad 1 00 votes for Paris, It was confidently expected thut the Prince de Join- ville would haye been returned, but the Prince havin, eclaration tobe published, that he woul not accept the honor until the decree of exile against his family was revoked, has lost Ris election. Our Berlin Correspondence, The Progress of Affairs in Germany. Beaux, May 22, 1349. The movements on the Rhine, in Prussia, Bavaria, and Baden, have already assumed the character of aa orga- nized revolution, They are not merely the simultancous outbreaks of popular diseatisfaction in all the principal cities of western Germany, in consequence of the non- recognition of the constitution by the different govern- ments, and the disapproval of the acts of their National Assembly, but, as one man, the whole population of that part of the country has risen, or is preparing to ‘vise. According to all reports we receive from western Germanyjall classes and parties, the peasants and ci- tizens, those in the service of government and those out of it, and even the military, throughout Rhe- nish Prussia and Bavaria, the Grand Duchy of Ba- den, and many Jof the smaller states, have declared themselves in favor of the insurrection, and are prepared to take an active part in it. To be sure, not all have the same object in view; there are re- publicans and red republicans, radicals and conserva- tives, and again, such who only wish to establish the unity of Germany with the least possible change of the existing order of things; but all are united in one point, viz: that they are determined to support the National Assembly at all hazards. It is impossible to say, as yet, how far this revolution will go. or whore it will end, and which Barty will take the lead; whether the republic will be the banner, under which the present movement will spread throughout Germany, or whether it is to stop at the foot of the thrones, which, like the pyra- mids of old Egypt, still are to stand in Europe, the monuments of an age long gone by. All will nie upon the resistance which the governments will of- fer to the progress of revolution; if this resistance will be a forcible one, and there is every reason to believe so, the tide will break through all barriers, or the governments will succeed, with the assistance of the foreign armies who have already invaded Ger- many, in suppressing the movements, In the first case, we shall doubtless have a republic; in the latter, the rule of despotism over this country will have be- come a fait accompli, According to all, however, I have been able to ascertain, row the most authentic sources, of the movements on the Rhine and in Baden, up to the latest moment, no attempts te proclaim the republic have as yet met with any success among the majority of the people; and unless the governments will hurry on a complete breach between the Princes and the people, in consequence of resisting the more- ments with armed force, it is not likely that the Germans, for the present, will go further than to establish the constitution, as it ia agreed upon by the National Assembly. The strong aversion which exists in this country ainst socialism and the modern doctrine of French philosophy is the principal cause that the republic, which, unfor- tunately, is generally regarded as identical with the red republic, as not yet gained more adh the consery.tive elasses. But, in the pri things, no one ean tell what may occur shortly. The crisis has just attained its height. The National As- sembly, in reply to the summons of the Prussian gov- ernment te its deputies, has declared that summons as illegal; it has further passed a vote of want of cona- dence to the ministry whieh, after the resignation of Mr. Von Gagern, had been appointed by the Reichs Verweser; and, lastly, it has deposed the central power itself, because it had acted in concert with the govera- ments against the Assembly. According to a telo- graphic despatch received here by the government, yesterday ovening, the Assembly has resolved to elect one of the sovereign princes of Germany at the head of the empire, with the title of Imperial Stadtholder. The Stadholder is to take the oath upon the constitution, and is to require,all in the serviee of governmont to do the same. He is to remain in office until the Empe- ror of ae ee will be definitively elected. Until the meeting of the first German Reichstag, the Assemb'y assumes all the rights appertaining to the Reichsiag according tothe constitution. In consequence of those resolutions, the Prussian government, as [ have just been informed, has sent instructions at the head of the central government until the diffe- rent governments of Germany had come to some reso- lution. An army of 60,000 men, I am told at thosame time, consisting of Hanoverian and Prussians, who are being concentrated near Irankfort, will bo placed at the disposal of the central power. Previous instruc- tions to the Archduke given by the government here, to the effect that he should call into requisition the military in case of an insurrection at Frankfort; and according to the latest accounts from that eity, the state of excitement was such, that whilst I ite this it is not unlikely these instructions have already been acted upon. For the purpose of pu ing down the revolution, all the ei- ties on the Rhine, and in Baden, including Frankfort, will, it is believed, ere longy be declared in astate of bn ec. In this capital, within the last few days, mar- exercieed in the most rigorous manner. Several of the members of the opposition in the second chamber have been ebligedto fly. Mr. Waldeck, the leader of the op- position party, has been arvested, as it it is stated, for igh treason, and will be tried before a court martial. The National Zeitung, the only en ee here, has been suspended. ‘The reasons for the adoption of these measures on the part of government, are to guard against every possibility of an outbreak in this city, aud to cut off every intercourse between the radical party in the capital and in the provinces, We have intelligence, to-day, that the Emperors of Ruesia and Austria are to meet at Warsaw, for the purpose of holding a conference. It is believed that the object of this conference is to agree upon the plan of operation to put down revolution in Hungary and Austria, No such plan seems as yet to have been fixed upon, thongh the vast armies of Russia are dally pouring into Austria, A decisive blow, by the united Russian and Austrian forces, against the Hnagarians, is meditated. The latter, according to the latest ad- vices, are advancing with an army of 70,000 men, under General Dembiaski, against the Russians, into Gallice Thave just been informed that the left of the Frankfort Assembly has sent a deputation to Munich, to offer to the King of Bayaria the dignity of (imperial Stadtholder of Germany. It is stated that, in the event of his refusal, the King ef Wurtemberg would be wil- link to accept the dignity. The conferences which are boing held here betwoen the plenipotentiaries ot the different States of Germa- ny have, as yet, failed to bring about an agreement on the constitution octrogée which is to be issued. We learn, from good nutherity, that the principal MiMoul- ties are made by Bavaria and Wartemburg, the latter having alveady recognised the German constitution, Differences are also stated to exist betwoon Prnasia and Saxony, Accounts just received by the 8o'clook P, M. wiatl, trom Frankfort, state that, on the 2lst inst., 77 members resigned their reats tn the National Assem- biy. and that the Suxon deputies had been reeallud by their government, The Ministerial Cris! {From Journal Du Ha The following is stated to be the determination of Presient Louis Napoieon and his eabinet in th sent posture bah irs, in government will take.

If the vote is in its favor, all the Coe made will be to provide « successor for Leon ucher. The vacillation of popular favor is evinced by the following fact. Ofthe eleven individuals who consti- tuted the Provisional Government on the flight of Louis Philippe, the men who by their measures and conduct, and elally by the institution of universal suffrage, may be called the founders and fathers of the republic, only three have been elected members of the next Na- tional Assembly. They are prego, Ledru Rollin and Cremieux. One of them, Albert, isa prisoner waiting to be transported; another, Louis Blanc, is a fugitive end an exile im England. The Choler The cholera is decreasing in Pari P ticularly felt in the hoepitals. At the Hotel Diou, for instance, where, for the last month, about one-third of the patients were brought, the number has fallen to twenty-three, whilst it previously averaged thirty and forty a day. It is principally at the hospital St. Louis, and at La Salpetriére, that the difference is visible. In this last hospital, where forty-two cases had been ad- mitted within forty-eight hours, the.now cases admitted during the last three days were fourteen, nine, and four. ‘here are also favorab'e symptoms in the city, and tho_ disease is rapidly disappearing. The Declaration of Independence of the Hungarians. ‘The representatives of the Hungarian nation assem- bied onthe lith of April, 1849, at Debrecsin, not in their usual assembly hall, but in the Protestant church, in order to make the discussions and decision of this great problem more solemn, and the place more suit- able for a large auditory. Several thousands of the people were present. The Dictator, Kossuth, reported the last glorious victories of the Nungariay army, and declared, with emphasis, that now was the moment for shaking off the fetters by which the nation had been oppressed for three centuries, to place itself among the great nations of the world, andto rid themselves of that dynasty which paid with parfidiousness and eter- nal treachery the loyalty und magnanimity of the Hu garian nation. The Hungarian people; who, in the great battles for liberty made such boundless sacrif the brave Hungarian army, who, with the most sublim patriotic feelings, offered their lives for the salvation of the father-land, all these impose on the representatives of the nation the high daty of taking such resolutions. The father-land, the world, God himself commands us to do so. The propositions were then submitted by the Dicta- tor Kossuth, as follows :— “1. Hungary with all its legal provinces and counti os should be proclaimed asa free, independent, and tate, whose integrity und unity can never The dynasty Habsburg-Lorrain, whose treach and perfidiousness took up arms against the Hungarian nation, which tried to divide the country, to annihilate the holy constitution, to produce hatred between the different races, and which was even so shameless as to make use of a foreign power, (Russla) to buteler a whole nation, which in this way has torn in pieces the Pragmatic sanction, which has violated every matual treaty, this faithless dynasty Habsburg-Lorrain, should be deposed forever ax ruler fo Hungary and all fés logal provinces and countries, should be exiled and banished forever from all the territories of Hungary, and should never be allowed the privilege of Hungarian citizenship ‘This banishment should be proclaimed in the name of the whole Hungarian nation. ‘3, ‘The Hungarlep nation belng by a holy unaltons ble right, self-subsistent, free, and independent, may proclaim ita decided will, to keep peace und felendship with all nations of tho world, for éo long as ite rights are not violated, to keep particularly peace und friend: ship with those people who were before united with Hungary, under the same ruler, then with the neigh- boring Turkish and Italian coaniries, and to make treaties and alliances with them, founded on mutual interests, “4. ‘rhe fatare system of government, with its par. ticularities shall be deliberated and decided by the National Assembly, Until the new principles of go- vernment are deliberated upon and accepted, @ Presi dent, with responsible Ministers, should be elected and invested with the executive power. “5, A committee of threo inembers should be au- thorized to publish @ manifest of this resolution, and its principles.”? Tho representatives of the people unanimously adopted the propositions of the Dictator,and gave them their sanction, and the church resounded with enthu- siastic shouts; tears of joy gleamed in the eyes of thou- ds and thousands. ‘The fourth proposition eame soon to discussion, and alirepresentatives, with unanimous feelings and de- cision, proclaimed Lewis Kossuth, President, in cons quence of his unshaken patriotism, and his undivided confidence of tho whole Hungarian nation. He was then entrusted with the formation of a ministry. On the same day, the (Magnatenbefthl) Senate, on the proposition of their President, Porony, accepted the above resolutions of the House of Representatives, without farther discussions, unanimous!y and so- Jemnly, ‘The following {s the composition of the ministry of the new Hungarian government :—Lewis Kossuth, President ; Casimir Batheany, War; Suemere, Interior; 8, Poreny, Justice; Duschck, Finance; Heynek, Rell- gion and Police. From Yucatan.—We are indebted to Mr. Sal- vador Fernandez, of this city, for files of Boletin Oficial of Merida, to the 7th instant, and the Fenix to the 5th, published at Campeachy, received here yester- day by the schooner Primera Campechana, Captain Prats, from Compeachy. The elections in Yucatan were soon to take place, and the Feniz takes occasion to say that the constitu- tion of 1825, which is the ono now in force, is somewhat antiquated and defective, and that the progress of the country, since its adoption, requires it should be amended in many important particulars. Speaking of the war and the condition ofthe country, the Feniz complains that the general government does not, by one vigorous effort, crush the insurrection of the Indians, and it declares that this important portion of the confederacy is on the eye of being lost, and will be lost, without remedy, if condemned to’ support, single handed, this disastrous war for one year longer. It proceeds to declare that the elements of prosperity ofthe country are nearly destroyed, and that ite powors of resistance are diminishing from day to day. The Yucatecos are now in possession of Tihosuco, Saban, Chemax and Bacalar, Col. Rosado had ordored geally tobe msde from Tihosuco, by four hundred men, to drive back tho Indians in that vicinity, This movement was to kaye been executed on the d4th ult. The result of it had not yet been ascertained. ‘The echooner Rafwia, from Vera Cruz, brougut to Sisal, on the 20th ullimo, the sum of fifteen thousand: dollars, voted by the Mexican Congress, to assist the Yueatecos against the savages, ‘The Fens complains that this sum is altogether inadequate, The war still continued with much activity on the part of the sav Many skirmishes had taken place, without any decisive result. ‘The Bolerin Oficial givas accounts of several skirmishes near Tihosuco and Saban, in which the Indians were worsted.—New Or- leans Delia, May The Weather and the Crops, he Point Coupée (La.)

The court, under these circumstances, imposed a slight fine ox the defendant. Cisy Covnr.—Before Judge Greenwood and Alder- men Peet and Spies, Assault and Battery.—Tho batch of Irishmen who were trie erday morning for an assault and bat- tery on Mrs, Alice Cruden, were all found guilty, ex. cept Francis Kiernan, and the jury being unabie to agree in relation to him, were ‘discharged. Joseph Sinith was also found guilty of committing an assault on his mother-in-law, Catharine MeCo The People vs Dennis O° Conner.—This was an indict- ment charging O°Connor with keeping a disorderly houre on the corner of Hudson avenue and Willourhby street.

Brooxtyy Gas Worxs—These works, situated at the foot of Jackson street, are progressing with the ut- most rapidity. A large number of hands are constant- ly employed in building the retort. house and tho building for the gasometer; besides the various labor- ers, machinists, Ke, who are fitting the various sec- tiozs of the machinery requisite for the purpose of distributing the gas throughout the city. It will bo recollected that the contract of the brooklyn Gas Company with the city, limits the distribution of gas to the first five wards, there being another contract with a rival company for the supply of the outer dis- triets, “Tt is eupposed by many, however, that the old company is the only one from whom any thing can be expected, as no signs ef lay- ing “pipes or Dduilditg’ gas works have been exhibited on the part of the other. It 1s ealenlated that the streets of the first five wards of the olty will be lighted with this desirable articles by the first of August next; and many of the directors of the compa ny are of the opinion, that everything will be in readi ness by the first of July. We believe all the machinery has been brought over, and put together. It was manu- factured expreesly for this company by New York and Philadelphia firms, and is of the very bost mategial that could postibly he procured. Metsas. Buntis axp Morcay’s Suir Yano.—The business in this yard seems to be very brisk at present. The yard is situated on the East River, between Jay and Bridge streets, The cnterprising proprietors have two of the largest class ferry boats on the stocks, one for the Jersey City ferry, and the other for the Fulton line. The Jersey City “boat is 120 feet in length, 30 fect beam, and 10 fect hold, They will probably be ready to launch by the first of August next. ‘Two or threo other vessels are also lying near by for repairs, among them thesteamboat Active. To all appearance, the enterprising firm who own the yard are wall pa- tronixed. Superior Court. Before Chief Justice Oakley. Tuxn 8,—silzernon Jshbrenner vs. George Batcher.— This was an action brought by plaintiff to recover from the defendant about $4,000 for freight of a vessel, al- leged to have been chartered by defendant frem pl. tiff. It seemed that, in 1847, the defendant chartered from plaintiff the echooncr John Haughton, to trans- port aearzo of Indian corn to the port of Cork, in reland. The charter party described tho vessel a3 of the burthen of 100 tons or thereabouts; the sum to be paid for freight, the number of lay days, and the timo at which ‘the voyage was to expire, were also set forth in the instrument. The vessel was accordingly delivered to the defendant, at one of the East River piers, and he detained for six or seven days; after which, he refused to procure the freight or have anything more to do with her, and returned her to the plaintiff. ‘The latter soon aiter chartered her for a coasting voyage. The suit was defended on two grounds ; first, that the charter purty having described the schooner to be of 100 tons, it was equivalent tos warranty that she was of that tonnage; and if it after- wards turned out, as it did, that she was not ot that burthen, be could not recover. Tho second ground of defence was, that defondant was entrapped into the contract by false reprorentations, plaintiff knowing them to be false at the thne he made them, in regard to the tonnage of the vessel, It was also shown, on the part of the defendant, that he offered plaintiff $500 to release him from the contract, or to procure a char- ter party for the vessel, from the government, at $1,600 a month, both ef which offers the pluintitl refused; but as the Chief Justice, in his charge, did not make any reference to either of these last two defences, they were, of courte, out of the case. His Honor charged the jury. that from the very ela- borate manner in which'tho case had been tried, his duty would merely consist in stating the nature of the action and the rules of law applicable to it. ‘The char- ter party upon which thiz action is brought, is in. sub- stance an agreement on the part of the defendant that he would procure freight for the schooner, for a yoyazo from this port toa port in Ireland; and’ also that be t at a certain rate; that defendant rter party is not denied, and that there has been a breach of it, is also clearly proved. That she was hired to Smith & Co., and by them re- cvived and kept for a number of days, and that subse- quently defendant made up his mind not to perform the charter party on bis part, is alto admitted. The first ground of defenee taken by the defendant, is that the schooner was described as one of 190 tons, and that that description amounted to # warranty on the part of tho plaintiff, that this schooner was actually of that burthea, and if that was ro, defendant. undoubt- edly would not be bound to carry the agree. ment into effect; the reason of that is, that if a man stipulates in exproes terms, that a vessel in of a particular burthen oF tonnage, then he is bound by his stipulation; but on the other band, a mere representa- tion that it ie 60 where the other party has an oppor tunity of inspection. avcertaining all the facts, and judging for himself; these mere representations do not ‘amount toa warranty, and upon ao reference to the charter party in this cuse, it by no means appears that it contained an express stipulation on the part of the Jaintiff, that the veesel was of the burthen of 190 tons, ut of the burthen of 190 tons, more or less, In judg- ment of law, therefore, there was no waraanty, and this round of defence must fail. The second ground of jefence, to wit: that he was entrapped into tho con- tract by the representations of the plaintiff, by whieh he was induced todo that which he would not have done if he were put in possession of the facts as they ‘This is a good defence, if made out; ail e in fraud, are void; if’ therefore tho dv- ¢ Vessel was fraudulently made by plain- reription of tif or his agent, and ifdefendant was entrapped into this contract, he has a right to eet itup,and it ia nce; but itmust be made out to your entire n. ' In order to coustitute the fraud here set up, it would he necessary that plnintit represented this eof the burthen of 190 registered tons, that the representation, knowing it to be fals ¢, for the purpose of deceiving the defendant, and tbat the latter ected on the faith ot that repres rentation, relied on it, aud signed the charty pacts der the conviction thet it was made in good faith These are the two grounds of defence which ho sets up, but the latter ie a matter of fuet whieh you are to deoide, Hishonor then Inid down thy rule a: to da- mages.

On Thursday last, the hoisting of the star-spangled bauner, which gave its massive folds most gracefully to the wind, announced that Mr. Cozzens, late of the American Hotel, of this city, was for the first time to throw open toa numerous and distinguished circle of friends the wide portals of his magnificently fitted up house, where all the luxuries of the table, and all the | comforts and enjoyments of private life, may be had to | their fullest extent, Those who require relaxation from the cares, toils, and anxieties of professional and | commercial pursuits, will find this hotel to be @ most | healthful and delightful spot. ‘The situation, which ‘was the scene of some of the most memorable events in our glorious revolution, isin every respect salubrious, beautiful, and highly picturesque. The hotel stands ona lofty eminence, two hundred feet above the level of the river, and is surrounded by trees, whose wide- spreading branches afford a cool and refreshing shado from the darting rays of the sun, It is three steries high, 283 feet long, and 44 feet wide, ‘The walks are laid out with great skill, and will in time be equal te those of any private gentleman’s domain, From a cluster of trees rises.the modest steeple of @ neat little church, which imparts to the romantic and majestic scenery which surrounds the whole an air of solemn grandeur, which harmonizes with the wonderfal and sublime works of nature that meet the eye at every turn. ‘The roads which leads from the lanuing to the hotel is in capital order; in fact, no road can be better. Tt was laid out, graded, and finished under the imme- diate supervision of Mr, Cozzens himself,and docs much credit his engin alifications. From the front of the hotel may be seen the mountains which rise in stately proportions one over the other; the noble Hud- gon, whore rich and luxuriant banks are studded with chaste and classical villas, whose tranquil waters are covered with those messengers of good tidings, the well freighted and well appointed crafts, ‘with | their snow white rails, the evidences of com- | mercial prorperity and national greatness. The view of | P the surrounding country is most extensive, and every | breeze that sweeps by brings on its pinions health, and | vigor, and cheerfulness, to the happy inmates of the | ‘West Point Hotel. From this position, also, may be seen the house in which General Arnold was breakfast- | ing when he received the news of the capture of Major | André—traitor Arnold, as one of George Lil.’s cour. | tiers called him; he of infamous memory, who be- trayed his suffering country in the hour of hor trial and peril—while ehe was yet in the death grip of the oppressor. A little lower down the river lay the Vul- | ture. on board of which the traitor went after his de- sign had been frustrated. From the rear may be seen all that remains of Fort Putnam. The rooms io the hotel amount to 130, and 220 persons can be accommo- dated. The various apartments, including the base- | ment parlors, are furnished in the very best style, and | all the modern improvements have been adopted. ‘The drawing room, which is forty by forty, is superbly fur- nished. It is said that this is the theatre of fashionable and polished life—where the refined and the learaed | meet for the interchange of those courtusies which dis- | tinguish the polite and well-bred—where the gossip of the day {s talked over, the merits of the lutest novel dis- cussed—where the true gentleman shines without af- fectation. and where the lady appears to advantage with all the charms and fascinations which a lovely countenance, a graceful person, and the more storling because more enduring attractions of an accomplished mind and a benevolent heart, can throw around her. Such is the use of the drawing room, and 80 correct has been Mr. Cozzens’ conception of tho matter, that it is laid out with the most exquisite delicacy, which epeaks moat complimentarily for his taste. The b rooms are airy and spacious, und contain every requi- site that health, convenience and comfort could ce est. A more complete establishment there cannot bo { the United States. One wing of the hotel is for the gentlemen and their ladies, and the other is for those who. cannot beast of wo invaluable a treasure. De- tached is @ billiard room, under which there is space. for stowing several hundred tons.of ice. The stabling department is also most complete and commodiou: The cosch-house will contain six carriages, and pete of horses can be provided for. There is also a her's shop, which will be conducted upon the most ppprcred, prineiples, In short, ererpie tse ie in ite place, and there is a place for every thing. THE DINNER. ‘5 This was served up in first-rat tre, in a capacious room, the dimensions of which are 70 by 40 feet. The chair was well filled by Captain Marshall, of the U.S. Navy. About 180 Jadies and gentlemen rat down to dinner; among them were the members of the board of Visiters, now at the West Point Academy, all tlie professors, who, with two or three exceptions, wore their full dress uniforms, and naval oflicers, and other distinguished persons. ' Professors Bailey ‘and Weir were also amoug the guests. The viands were as choice as they were varied, aud the proof of their unex- ceptionable excellence was that ample justice was done tothem, The courses were almost ad infinitum, and the dessert, which was of the most recherché kind, included everything which the moet fastidious palate could de- sire. As to the wines, wo must speak of them upon the autherity of others, because, being a disciple of Father | Mathew, we did not taste them; but we understood that they wore very fine, and we know that there was no limit to the supply. “Rich luscious wine the golden goblet graced, While the kind master forced the guests to taste,” Among the toasts were these: Ee Army, the Navy, and the Volunteers,” to each of which due honor was paid. The following was given, ina very happy man- ner, by Captain Cullum:-“Our Country Cozens; never will we desert them.”’ It was received with the most cordial applause. The next toast was proposed in suitable terms, by Mr. Moward, of the Irving House: “Our worthy host; the Pride of the Fraternity—the Model Landlord of the Model Republic.” It was drunk with the most enthusiastic applause, which was kept up for some time. In the height of the festivities, General Scott, the commander-in-ehief of the U.S. Army, unexpectedly arrived at the hotel, from New York, When the ar- rival of this accomplished ‘and gallant officer was an- nounced, one siimultancous cheer burst from the com- pany, which testified to the deep respect ‘in which the General is held. A deputation, composed of naval and ney men, immediately waited upon him invitation te join in thefestivities; but not bi well, he declined, in the politest terms. Captain Trier prenounced a most eloquent pane- gyric upon the West Point Academy. The geatlemon who had been educated there had shed glory upon the arms of their country during the Moxican war. (Cheers.) And on all occasions, whem the honor of | the nation was at stake, they had displayed the most unflinching courage.

(Loud sheers.) * Lieutenant Scuexcx, United States Navy, made a most humorous speech, in the course of which he almost convulsed the company, He most readily ad- mitted the justice of the compliment paid to the West Point Academy by the gentleman who had just sat dewn; and ‘although he (Lieut, S.) had not the honor to that braneh of the service, he felt a deep ter of that most use- " ig very | to belon, interest in the success and ¢! ful institution.

THE DALI A more elegant mode of terminating the festivities of the day could not bave byen adopted. At about 9 o'clock the ball-room was thrown open, in which was stationed a detachinent from the scientific band be- longing to the Academy. Tho room was brilliantly light- cd with gas made on ile premises, which, with the rich uniforms of the officers, and the elegant dresses of the ladies, who glided so gracefully through the dance, resented chy of the mo.t magaidcent scenes which we ave ever witnessed. The presence of the ladies gave a charm to the happy oceasion. Without them, what would it have been? Nothing—absolutely nothing. It is they who give to scholarship Its polish, and to go- nius its retinement—the most learned, but for them, | would be little better than thinklug savages, or rational | brutes. ‘The hour of trouble 1s their hour, In the fall | rush of prosperity and joyoasness they retire from the 4, when the | a the heart iv bruised, then, like ministeriog angels, they come tu cffcr consolation.

Bowery Turatne.—The benefit of Mr. Bass, last night, was well attended, and the performances were of such a character as to elicit the marked applause of all present. The drama of “Charles XII.” eommeneed the evening's entertainment, and it was produeed in « style reflecting great eredit upon the manager, and all engaged in its perfermance. Mr. Gilbert appeared as the King, and really played the part with admirable effect and taste ; his noble bearing well befits him for such a character, and so successful has he been that his appearance is always greeted with apprebation. Mr. Bass’s Adam Brock. was an excellent performant which, coupled with the peculiar comicality of Wi- nans’ Triptolemus Muddlework, kept the heuse eon- vulsed with laughter throughout every scene in which popular drama of “Mike Martin’’ was repeated. and we must here take oceasion to say that it went off with greater effect than on any previous presentation. The beautiful Mexican stee trained by Mr. William R. Derr, especially for tl plece, bespenk the great skill of that gentleman in the education of the mustang of the prairie, The entire scunery of the drama is gotten up in the most splendid and costly manner, and the actors engaged in it are of the first order throughout.

Dunn, with a talented corps, appear, grows nightly into favor The comedy of * Family Jars’? was performed, which well d. after the ex- citing drama, to draw forth the mirth of the whole au- dience, A bill of powerful attractions will be presented this evening, Miss Wemyss appearing in a prineipal character. To those who admire the drama in its purest and most beautiful style. we would say, by all means, go to the Bowery to-night. Broapway Tuxatre —Last evening, Mons, Monplai- sir took his benefit. The house was well attended ‘The entertainments commenced with the petite come- dy of the “ Witelf of Windermore,”” Hadaway’s Natty Primrose was, as usual, a laughable performance, and all the other charactors were very well sustained. Mons, Monplaisit’s dancing was loudly applauded. He was most enthusiastically encored, as waa also Mons. Corry as the regular Jockey. Various other dances followed, which afforded the highest gratification to the audience, ‘There is in preparutivn a grand ballet, en- titled the “Triumph of Greece,” which will be pro- duced in the same stylo of magnificence as * Folethas? under the direction of Mons, Monplaisir, Nationa Tueatue.—This ever-crowded and univer- sally popular theatre, again, last evening, was filled to its utmost capacity with a highly intelligent audienee, to enjoy the rich dramatic treat which was presented. Three popular pisces, with the new drama of “Three Years After,” were offered, and received with shouts of acclamation. We have spoken of the faithful persona- | tion of Mose by Mr. Chanfran, of Capt. Tobin by that prince of comedians, Burke, the truthful representation of Lizzy by Miss Mestayer; but there are others of whom we have said nothing, and who are not least in filling up the interesting catalogue. One of these is the junior Mose, by Master Murray, who, though small (scarce kneo high), has a perfect’ conception of his part, and, by the fidelity with which he enacts it, calls forth the peroeneey, applause of the whole house. He makes an excellent counterpart of the elder Mose, and has become a general favorite; his appearance alone is worth the price of admission. The part of t notorious Jack Cirele, hy Mr. Herbert. is well played, and the arts of that graceless individual most faithful. ly portrayed; and that of Charles Meadows, the vie- tim of debauch and the dupe of Harry Whitmore, is most ably sustained by Mr. Hield, who acts with sueh force that the beholder ia struck with wonder that a reality could compare with the personation, There are a host of others equally interesting, which needs must be seen to be properly appreciated “A Nabob foran Hour” comprised the clusing of the cvening’s entertainment, in which Mr. W. B. Chapman appeared as Sam Hobbs, with entire satisfaction to all present, as the roars of applause plainly indicated. Two fine dramar, with other attractions, are up for to-night, which will again fill the house to overflowing. Bextony Tuxa7ee.—Colman's comedy, compressed into two acts, of the “Heir at Law,” was played at this theatre, last evening, with great ability, by the various ladies and gentlemen who appeared in it. Mr, Bur- ton’s Doctor Pangloss, L.L.D, and A.8.8., was a very fine delineation of the learned pedant, It was loudly applauded. Raymond played the part of Zekiel Home- spun, in @ manner that did him much credit.%gMr. Brougham, as Kenric, was himaelf. He won, as he in- varia} ly does, the hearty applause of the ‘audience. The other piece mentioned in the bill was received in the most favorable manner. This evening, Mr. Bur- ton's benofit will take place, when we hope the house will be crowded from top tobottom. This gentleman's claims upon the liberality of his patrons and the publie generally, are of a high order, and as such, we are sure they will be considered. His acting has instracted as well as amused them. He is not only a most excellent actor, but a man of talent and reading. His friends, therefore, will bear in mind that, this evening, they are engaged to him, and that on no account, of illness, must that engagement be violate Cunisty’s Minetrets.—It is somewhat surprising, considering the leng period this band of minstrels ha ttended ming by li nd highly fended are attended every evening by large and highly respect- able audiences.
