Theatri®l and Musical, Boweny Trearre.—There was a very large audience aseembled here last evening to witness the perform- ances, which were of the most interesting nature. “Richard the Third’ was the first piece, and it was played in most admirable style, Mr. Wallack, as Glos- ter, appearing to great advantage. He performs this part in a style equal to any actor in the country, The other parts sustained by Mrs. Wallack, Miss C. Wemyrs, Mr. Gilbert, &c., were all finely done. Tho drama of the “ Rag Picker of Paris’ concluded the en- tertainments. This piece is @ most interesting one, and we hope it will be often repeated at the Bowery. Tonight we expect to see one of the greatest houses of the season, as Mr. Winans takes his benefit. Mr. W. isan immense favorite at the Bowery, and presents a capital bill for the occasion, viz., “The King ot the Com- mons,’ a “Scene from @ Losal Drama’ and “Jack Sheppard, The Wallacks will appear in the first piec: which is @ very favorite one, In the “Scene from thi Local Drama,” ans will appear the celebrated Joe the market loafer, and ia the last piece little Miss 8. Denin will appear as Jack Sheppard; Stevens will take the part ef Bluetkin. We have no doubt the house will be crowded to overfiowing. Broapway Tuearae.—“ Guy Mannering,”’ for the third time since Miss Charlotte Cushman’s return to New York, was performed last night to as crowded s house ag on the first exhibition of her wonderful Meg Merrilees, Attractive as it is to the thousands who go to witness it, we confess there is such a striking timilitude to what we have conceived to be the raving maniac in real life, im the “counterfeit resembiauce” of Mise Cushman, that we would prefer her Queen Catbarine, as sutticiently terrible for ail practicable purpores. The piece went off with an outburst of en- Uhuriasm, however, to which we were compelied to sur- render; for the whole rdle was admirably presented, and the deeth ecene was particularly striking. There would be the pcint to stop the play, for the group around the dying maniac supplies the denouement, As it is, the con- cluding cborus, with the dead body of Meg just ried out, ii upertiuity which destroys the efiect, toa great degree, of the solemnity of the scene, In all its characters the piece was weil performed, The costume of Colonel Mannering was not exactly that of the original; but that is, perhaps, as Toote would say, “ of no consequence.” in the afterplece of “ Wilful Mur- der’? Mr. Chapman, as Pythagoras Sphoon, bore off the bonore Very successfully. it was even a more “ pro- Gi-gi-ous’ hit than his Dominie Sampson Mrs. War- wick, as Khoda, was modest and pleasing. The bill for to-night eunnot fail to require an early call for» cr Buxron’s Taxa —A new drama, written, as we are informed, by a literary gentleman of New York, was produced at this houre last evening. The plot is trifling, and the Ianguage of @ commonplace dialogue dercription, Michael, (Mr. Lynne,) landlord of an inn, is impelled by curiosity to enter the chamber of a guest, Orlest, (Mr, Clarke) in order to find out the reerets of a letter he bas just received from France; Mary, (Mra, Russell.) daughter of the innkeeper, goes there by assignation with Orlest, her former ; and Wetweil, (Mr. Johnston.) her husband, with is unbappy. in consequence of bis abandoned instigated by the ba: pore of robbery, which he efiects. In that position he isan unwilling witness to his wife’s duplicity, but his ce is sealed by the turpitude of bis own act. Mary and her father are both accused of the theft, but the denouément is arrived at by the confession and forgiveness of the erime!! The piece might well be a into one act. without suffering much by curtailment, ‘The respective | parts of the four individuals upon whom the burden of the drama is cast, were a8 well sustained as the oc- nm required— Mrs, Russell, in particular, being as graceful and pleasing as she could “ Burton York Directory,’ and the ‘ Demon Jester,’’ eoneluded the entertainments. and were both as happily diverting as on their former representations.

Mrtcneta’s Otyaric Tuxatne.—The entertainment of yesterday evening commenced with the excellent comedietta called the “Captain of the Wateh,” which, upon the whole,was acted remarkably well. Mr, Walcot, as Viscount de Ligny,the captain of the watch, Mr. Niekineon, Mrs, Conover and Miss Niskinson, acted remarkably well. Mies Carline danced her ay Seu! in ber usually graceful and elegant manner. The dance ‘was succeeded by the grand opera of “Fra Diavolo,” which was Plage before another vas{ audience.

Monrreat, Oct. 17, 1849. The Annexation Question—The Rival Protests. It was not to have been expected that a docu- ment of the grave importance of the one lately issued to the people of Canada, by the citizens of Montreal, and advocating such sweeping reforms, would not have evoked the bitterest opposition. During the past week, the question of connection with England has been severely tested, and the re- sult proves how deep-rooted and wide-spread is the disaffection in regard to imperial dominion. ‘The opposition to the movement of the address party, has dissolved itself, in the shape of a protest, con- demning the hasty movements of the signers of the address, and, at the same time, calling on Great Britain at once to give protection to Canadian pro- duce. The signatures appended to it, which are neither numerous nor influential, in comparison with many of those attached to the untiexation ad- dress, exhibit as strange an anomaly of persons and fanatics as that which it condemns. We have the well-fed official and government clerk, toge- ther with the protectionist and free-trader, who, for the time, have forgot everything else, and de- ceived by the zeal for their country, locked them- | selves in each other’s arms. This queer document has attached to it, ap to the present ume, about 150 signatures, and to obtain which a week has been expended in the most indefatigable exertions. On the other hand, the ** Address to the People of Ca- nada” has over 1,300 names attached toit, and is daily increasing. There are, also, numbers who will not sign either, thereby considering they do not compromise themselves, and are leit free to act hereafter as they may think or see best. ‘Thus, in the once outrageously loyal city of Montreal, there are not enough persons found in favor of connection with the mother country, to form a re- giment of militia. | This, 1 think, will be regarded as startling, and very ominous by the British press. But there 1s yet another protest to lay before your readers; and at this time it is difficult, upon perusal of the ccocument in question, to restrain one’s mirth. {ithas already been published in the New York Herald } It is tortunate that the above gentlemen are as- sured that responsible government, “by means of a wire and judicious legislation, aflords a prompt and eflicacious remedy for all the evils with which the Province 18 afflicted.” Now, it is in this point that most men differ with them. Responsible go- vernment, the popular cry for years, in former om , is now looked upon as a hideous monstros- alternately the, instrument, in the hands of a faction, for oppressing and trampling on_ their fel- low countrymen. There 1s no want of brass in ministry of the day, as one can see upon read- © their remarks in reference to “ta wise and judi- cious legislation.” But, it is also some. satisfaction to hear the government allow that the Province is afflicted with numerous evils. The idea re- garding the smount in dollars which these vultures claw from the public chest every year, is that of the Montreal Herald, ‘This paper is out strong on the “annexation tickets,” and is working with aa aréer which reflects the greatest credit on its conductors. “ i From Upper Canada, our intelligence regarding annexation is eny thing but favorables that is taking the press as the index of the popular mind ‘There is not a paper, from Kingston to Sandwich, in the most extreme western limits of eiviliz Canada, but which condems the movement. ‘This is any thing but encouraging, and must be regard- ed, were it net that private advices and ocular inspection prove the fallacy of the views expressed by the Upper Canada press. If such be the case, we may expect to see the same papers turning round, the moment any move is made by @ party im the west. As we stand at present, there can be no doubt but thata great portion of Lower Canada is in favor of annexation; but that, up to the, pre- sent time, the party is not sufficiently powerful to | adopt any strenuous measures. | much agitation anda skilful management before | the Cenadas will be in a sttuation to rap at door ef the Unien.

Unconscious of the storm that ys gathering in the distance, his only desire | would seem to be that of passing time pleasantly. | The latest rumor in regard to the seat of govern- ment is, that Toronto will surely obtain it. There can be no doubt that they deserve it, were it only to recompense them forthe quantity ef dirt they | have eaten, end the viclence done to their feelings. Afraid of being frustrated ia their pet measures, , and the country ae thrown behind, we find that | the Convention of Delegates of the British Amer- | ican League isto meet at Toronto on the Ist of November next. What these “tunder and tart” gentlemen intend accomplishing is at present a mystery to themselves and every one else, and, from what we know of them, likly to continue so. Thear very few of the Lower Canadian delegate willattend, so that the assemblage will be any- thing but a large one. All the attention that can be spared from the movement here is given to the United Stat he Montrealists desire to know, for reasons that are obvious, whether they are backed up by a strong #) mpethreing party, south of line 4 A union convention of delegates of the League has been sitting im this place forthe past week, | and it is stated the result of therr deliberations was a determination to press the federal union. Two gentlemen from New Branswick, only, were pre- sent—Hon. Mesers. Simmonds and Robinson. A convention of no mean importance, has also been deliberating in the metropolis on the great question. It iscomposed of dele gates elected by allthe French Canadian parishes 1a Lower Canada, and has met to discuss the qu ral tenure. | : The business done this fall has exceeded the mosi sanguine expectations of, our merchants. The weather is exceeding,y ine, and the ac- counts given of the crops, in all parts of the pro- vinee, favorakle. ‘The hay crop, alone, is short; and this article will range as high, it 1s expected, as $50 per 100 bundles, during the ensuing — VIEWS OF THE CANADIAN PRESS ON ANNEXATION. (Prem the Hamilton (Ca) Spectator, Cet. 11) We lay before our readers, to-day, the manifesto, or, as it has been facetiously ealled, the Declara- tion of Independence, of three hundred and twenty- five gentlemen of the city of Montreal. Formid ble as the affair may appear, by name, it is net likety to create much anxiety, nor is it probable thet it will make any preselytes in Upper Canada. « The Almighty Dellare” or the want of it, is the rend moving cauee, and around this standard | fave been railed the Briton and the Frenchman whom he has pro- fessed ever to derpire. . ‘Lhe poverty of the colony, the depression of bu- siness, and the commercial policy now pursued by the mother country, hich the changes are rung; and if we are to place implicit reliance on the statements of these patriotic gentle- men in Montreal, the country is on i verge of ruin, and nothing but a speedy alliance with a foreign power can save it from perdition. “The revereal of the ancient policy of Great Britain” should not be lamented over so bitterly by | the inhabitants of Montreal, At the time the mea- | eure was under discussion in the Imperial Parlia+ ment, the men who now deplore its efleets were | most clemorous for its passage. They have already | round that the system must prove ruinous, if perse- vered in, to the empire and the colony; yet, instead of acknowledging their error, and entreating the mperiel authorities to retrace their steps, they plunge reckleesiy onwerd, clamor loudly tor further change, end hypoeritieally preach “tnendly and eaceable” treason! We would give something to Kirow how fat these people would {ead, if they could persuade their neighbors to follow. The present movement reminds us simply of the reckleseness of the holf-ruined gombler. Desperation hae made men adventprers,and they hazard the litle they have lefton a sirfgle throw of thedice. There is noteven “method in the madness” of these peacea- ble traitors. A few months ego they were among the most loyal men in the colony, but the bill for re« warding rebels, lashed them into fury—the passage of that ect ebsolved them, as they urged, from their allegiance. Now they are quite williog to chenge pleces with men whose crimes excited thelr indignation and sbhorrence—eaveed them, like madroen, to destroy their own property—insult govervorr—plece all authority at, defianee—and utterly ruin the little business they had left. The indemnity bill, Which se aroused their ire, and corved as en excuse forthe commission of acts of infamy, is now entirely forgotten. The rebel and the loyalist of 1887 have bork become rebels in 1819, They vnite on neutral grownd, and conspire calmly and ope wly egainst the umtegrity of the empire; they It wall require | n of the signo- | the rebel and the loyalist of "37— | the text on which the | the very | desire to overthrow institutions which they have pwore solemnly to maintain and protect with their ives, It 18, perhaps, useless to reason thus with men who acknowledge no allegiance but to the pocket, and who are ready to sacrifice their country, ant part with institutions which they have been taught to cherish from the cradle, in the mere hope that their lost trade may be regained; and that an aban- donment of fealty, honor and principle, may be re- warded by an increase of lucre. ‘his reasoning would go to justify the slave-dealer in progressing into a pirate, or might excuse the spendthrift for becoming a highwayman. The manifesto goes on to show that annexation would obtain for the farmer a higher price for his produce But is it fully ascertained that this result cannot be arrived at without a previous abandon. ment of everything which a Briton holds dear? If our trade is worth anything to the United States, will they not accept it on reciprocal terms? If it is their Union, even, if we were unanimous tn desir- not worth anything, why should they admit us into | from an iscorporation with the States. The bour- geowsre Of Paris were the revolutionists, and they eflected with the aid of the masses a change ; but time has not shown that the change obtained has been of serivce to France. Indeed, since that change took place there has been many desperate and awful scenes; much fighting and little trad- ing. Changes should be well weighed, and not hastily eflected. The United States have, to use a favorite expression, gone a-head since the revo lution ; but it must be remembered that prosperity has only succeeded to years of shinplaetering and war. , [From the Toronto Globe, October 13 } We had some doubt at first what course to adopt as to the address of the Montrealers, to the people ef Canada. To aid in giving publicity to a pro- posal for dismembering hd enipire, seriously pro- mulgated by men of respectability, and some of | them of wealth and standing in society, was so | Tepugnant to our feelings that at first we deter- mined to exclude it from our columns. After care- fully perusing the document, however, we became ing it? The fact is, that the ‘fast men” in Mont- real, who are so apxiong for increased business, | do hot go to work asbusiness mes; should do, They surely have something to exchange, or they cannct expect to purchase. They must know very well that the Americans would not have us unless we were worth something to themselves. If we have really everything to gain and nothing to lose—if we we must knock avery long time before the door will be opened. Brother Jonathan’s charity very. properly begins at home. He has a large family of fis own to provide for, and he will not also adopt the bantlings of strangers, unless they can contri- bute something to the common stock. nexation is, that the mother country will never re- tur to the old system of protection. This is a fallacy, which will not bear a moment’s considera- tion." Free trade, thus far, has been equally disas trous to the empire and the colony. Every week shows usa gradual but powerful change’ in the public mind at home, on this question. No manin | his senses will pretend to assert that the people of Great Britain will permit themselves to be ruined, | and their colonies abandoned, when they can so | readily return to a policy under which both flou- | rished and made rapid progress. I is sheer noa- sense to assert that people will not take a step back- | ward, when to advance or remain stationary is | equally disastrous. As well might we be told that a_men who had arrived on the verge of a preci- pice, with destruction staring him in the face, | would persist in taking the fatal leap, when the slightest movement in a contrary direction would place him out of the reach of danger. | ‘The Montreal gentlemen will find that they have nothing to expect except stout, determined opposi- tion from Upper Canada. The number inclined to favor their views is quite insignificant ; and in- stead of forcing the colony into an obnoxions union, our manifesto writers will find that their proceed- ings can end, if persisted in, only in disgrace, de- fent and destruction, Let them pause and reflect, while there is yet time. They must remember that, on this subject, we are equally interested with themselves ; and they may depend upon it, that the loyal inhobitants of Upper Canada will not re- main with their arms folded, while sedition is openly preached, and #_ systematic effort is made, by afew disappoimted individuals, to destroy the connection which exists between this province and the parent State. On a momentuous question like this, men of all parties can unite, and the conspira- tors will find, if reason is of no avail, it loyalty hi ceased to have charms, that they stand alone in their iniquitous and totally unjustifiable movement; and that among the most ready to punish their pre- sumption, will be the men whom they afivet to de pise. A persistance in the childish proecedings of this Montreal Association, will have just one effect. It will alienate from the inhabitants of British origin in Lower Cunada, those who have truly sympathized with them in their local griev- ances, and who have honestly and consistently labored to relieve them trom the thraldem of an ignorant, vindieati unprogressive Gallic race. | Most sincerely do we hope that reason and better counsels will yet prevail amongst our countrymen | in Lower Canada. [From the Quebec Chronicle, Oct, 16.) The idea with which some are impressed that Great Britain will give up Canada at the request of the colonists we do not entertain; to us the sup- ition appears most unreasonable. There isa se, a powerful and influential class of persoas in Great Britain, who are perieetly indiflerent about the retention of the celonies, because they, as a class, derive no greater benetit from her Majesty's sions abread than they do from foreign pos- 8 ne, if as much. Lat there is another clai in Great Britain, the most influential, powerlul cloes—the hereditary and estated arie- tocracy Js and lairdsthe owners of the soil, who beheve that they have an interest i tervation of the empire in all its com ry they have sufficient imtluence to prevent t nation of Canada to the Canadians. ‘These p believe thet Canada is their property; and they as- suredly wil part with it unless by force. Canada is a depot for British troops, troops ctlicered for the most part by the sons of noble- men or estated gentiemen; Canada finds employ- ment for numbers of British subjects related to the wealth and influence of the mother country; Canada, like other colonies, is of importance to the imperial government in the way of patronage, for, as in the United States, the home civil oflivers of government are changed, on change of ministry, so in Creat Britein the colonial officers are changed, ‘The colomes are useful in rewarding political friends.

Canada, Great n, Cither with a dependence and the formation of an an- onistic nation to the United States, or with the View of strengthening her most powerful rival t ‘This Great Britam will never do. The colonies have been treated with indifference, and, so long as they remain colonies, will be indifierently treat- ed; it is only natural, and should be expected. As colomes, we are no cause of anxiety, unless when threatening to remain colonies no er; bat as en independent nation, or part of an independent | nation, we would be closely watched, lest our in- dependent policy should be prejudicial to British interests. It is only because we are British thet Bntain never thinks of us; not because we are suppored to be of little consequence. And in that way, we, as colonists, suffer. The time will no doubt be when Canada will de- s | mand a separation; but even then, Great Bri- | tain will refuee, so long as there the sha- ! dew of a chance of retaining the colony; the cesive in Great Britain will be for its retention. Were this province, however, fully prepared to de- mand a separation, it is probable enough that in spite of anything that might be done to prevent it on the part of he mother couatry, we should gain our end; slthough the President of the United States might even issue a proclamation, as General ‘Teylor bas done in the case of the armed expedi- tion designed to liberate Cuba from Spam, wit the view of preventing even voluntary aid being | rendered to us from the United States, still thon- sance of sympathicers would cross the frontier to do battle for liberty—as it is called epeak of the probability or improbability of hav. ing independence or annexation in the event of being inclined for it, even to the death; but if the passion is only that of the hour, and there 1s no earnestness about us, no unanimity, all the de- Clared opinions in the world about 1t3 being for the good of the country, never will induce England to grent us a separation; and we are persuaded there is no present earnest derire for annexation on the part of meny people in this province. Upper Ca- nada is deed egainst the movement; and we may | a8 well say that Lower Canada is against it. Our) | grievances have not been such as to. muke it ap- pear to the reliprous that annexation is desirable, As Cromwell felt his cause to be nghteous; ea Cromwell felt he was on instrument im the hand of the Lord to humble kings, so must Canadians feel thet their cause ie righteous before they can bring themselves to that fervid etate, that stafe of enthu- siasm, which is'necessery for the attainment of any netional The people of this province are not £0 impressed. Many would like independence, could they obtain it withour trouble, or by agita- tion, or by petitions; but nene ere inclined to fight fer it, and therefore we believe that Canada is not pierared, either for independence or annexation, eheve heard it urged that the standing, the wealth, the respeetability of the paities who have declared thempelves in favor of annexation, will hove great weight. ‘his we doubt. The stand- ing of Mr. Smith O’Brien and those connected with him in Trish repeal declarati was fully equel to the standing of the repealers of Canada. | Kee peetability, nor private worth, nor money, is not all that is required to insure snecess ; nor even much towards it—oll present respectability, station and wealih, have been obtained as colonists, and | argues litde, if any thing at all, in favor of a change \s change.

The document, in our opinion, would be more valuable without a signa- ture attached to it, if it pointed out much more ckaily than it does the benefit which will result are but beggars, soliciting charity and protection— | The chief urgument of those who advocate an- | satisfied that such a mags of idle assumptions, un- | founded statements, false reasoning and delusive | fancies, as is this long-threatened Montreal manic \ fegto, could do no possible harm; on the contrary, with men of commor ‘hrewdness, able to. apply the test of criticism 8 contents, we tain will only draw down ridicule and wonder that some of those who sign it, could so stultify them- selves. Indeed, it 1s utterly incomprehensible to | us, how some of the gentlemen were induced to | sign their names, unless, indeed, the insinuations of the Montreal Gazette be true, that the docu- | ment was concocted in private, and signed with- | ont even beingread. a From the late hour at which the Montreal mail reached us_ yesterday, we are unuble to-day to en- ter on a criticism of the thing, but we shall not fail to do so in a future number. It will be evident, | however, to the Upper Canada reader of the com- | monest intelligence, that the harrowing picture of | distress under which Canada is averred to be | laboring, 18 an exaggeration of the present con- dition of the Montreal over-traders aud specu- lators, and that such language, when applied to the prosperous inhabitants of the town, and townships of Upper Canade, 1s simply ridiculous. The causes of the present temporary embarrassment in Canada are absurdly mis-stated—the disadvantages (none of the advantages are told) of our present form of government are incorrectly and unfairly depicted, and the effects of annexation are painted with so clumsy a varnish brush, that the shining coat scales off the moment your finger rests on the surface. . The fact is, the document is just another piece ot Montreal madness, and will meet no response either in Upper or Lower Canada. It is the despe- | rate splash of men who look not beyond their own circle, and fancy that that circle is the whole world—men who feel the trade of their city leaving them from natural eauses—men who writhe under the loss of political power, through the action of free institutions, and who, partly in utter reckless- ness, partly carried away by the. novelty and noto- riety of the move, and bs AA to be revenged, grasp atany scheme which will bring a change. The Montrealers have not the courage to face their du ficulties, and prepare for a determined and prudent eflort to restore prosperity to their city. The must have some magical charm to bring w without labor, and without a moment’s dela . The slow but secure advancement of Canada ie no charms for them. They must have something fiery, exciting, speculative; and annexation has all these three recommendations. But the silliness of the whole thing by no means lessens the criminality of it, and it remains to be seen how far such an agitation as this wil! be per- mitted by the government. It 1s very clear that if Queen’s counsel, justicesof the peace, and other public functionanes, are allowed openly to con- spire for the overthrow of British supremacy on this continent, the moral influence of the provia- cial government will be seriously shaken. Pro- testations of a desire tor peaceful separation only, form but a thin covering for the treason; even mea preparing for an armed revoluvienary struggle (though we acquit the present agitators of holding, at present, such ultimate intentions) would natu- 1a'ly commence with such arguments; and sine cere though they may continue, to spread in the country, the question of peaceful or armed agitation would soon poss from them into other and less scrupulous han The premalgation of one good eflect, however—it will compel the two great politieal parties to reject from their ranks men holding such views; and we are rejoiced to believe that the present government prepared to teke a firm stand on the question, and to repu- diate all who fraternize with the annexationists— as aliens from the hberal party Court of Oyer and Terminer. Betore Judge Rawards and Aldermen Ingersoll and Jackson, Oct. 22.—The trial of Charles H. Carpenter was agata resumed this morning, being the tweltth day it has oc- cupied the court. The case for the proseoution having cloned on Saturday, Mr. Crain on bebalf of the accused, said that being averse to a set speech, he proposed merely to have a conversation with the jury on,this ease where the I berty aM 1 vert Bh new to fail in bis duty to the prosecution ; yetin this ve the Attorney General, the highest ofliver in the ate, Beomen forward for the express purpose of proseuting Mr. Cerpenter; this inditemeut was preeured through the inatramentality of the Attorney General, and the party with whom he acted befere this trial was commenced. Why isit that the Attorney General takes so deep on interest in this case’ At the commencement of the trial, he called the sttention of the jury to the pernicious influence t rs would be likely to have upon their minds, that they should not read them, nor converse with any person on the eubject, during the long period of the investigation. For his part, he (Mr. Cuter) could not ree why counsel should be so snxlous to preclude them from the perusal of the ovi- dence. He would eny, if a trial be reported fairly and faithfully, as thie care bas been from day to day re- ported. with life-like accuracy and honest faithfulnens, | it could not have an injurious effect upon the Court, or cn the minds of the jury, and be, therefore, protested sgaipet the warnings tha’ had been ne gd to them.

But could ae believe that #0 many courts could be mis- taken with regard to all those prosecutions? Mr, Cute ler, at considerable length, in an address which ocou- pied over three hours and a half, took « review of the whole evidence, pointing out with force and ability his views of its incontistency—in some instances severel: commenting on the witnesses as he went along ; an concluded by saying, that not ouly now, as the case stood, his client was entitled to an acquittal, but when they bad heard the evidence for the defence, they should pronounce him innocs “Mitimews 27!23 Caen sworn and examined by Mr. Brady, deposed that he is proprietor of the Westchester House, corner of Broome street and Bow- ery, since 1842 ; in 1846 and ‘47 his brother was part- ner with him ; the color of the house is red briek, and it was so in 1845 and '46 ; it Is now @ stone color, and is #0 since last spring ; does not recollect man named Chadwick ever stopping at his house; no such man ever died at Westchester liouse; the only deaths that have been there since 1842 were a Capt Leslie and witness's father-in-law, whose name was White ; thinks his brother was bar-keeper in 1845 ; never heard of am application from any man respecting the death ofa poron uamed Chadwick ; Mr. Lomas also assisted im eeping his bar in 1845; never heard of the name of Chadwick until Mr. Carpenter called on him, last Sun- day week, to ask him about it ; never saw Mr. Carpenter before ; when Mr, Carpenter came into his house wit- ttention was pointed to two men named Gree- Young, who came in after him ; heard Gree- ley speak to Carpenter, when he addressed him as Mr. Greeley.
