Another Invading Expedition—Setzure of One of the Vessels. ‘We learn that a brig, supposed to be attaehed to an expedition fitting out in this port for the inva- sion of St. Domingo or Hayti, was seized yea- terday morning by the government officers. This vessel, the Kate Boyd, has been advertised as loading for Port au Prinee. Suspicions having been aroused in regard to her cargo and the inten- tions of these going out in her, she was watched, and, after the receipt of some powder and other munitions of war, was siezed. Before, however, this step was taken, information of the suspicion entertained was telegraphed to Washington, when orders Were received to detain her. It is said that the authorities have their eye upoa another vessel. Thus Hayti, and every other place anticipating an invasion, may be perfectly at ease. The whole business has ended, as we supposed it would, and maintained it would; and it is a happy thing for this country that it has so terminated. A success- ful expedition against Cuba would have plunged us into inextricable difficulties. The smoke has ap- peared, and, luckily, is now completely dispersed, #0 that people may see with their own eyes. The faree is ended, and the originators and abettors of itere covered with confusion and mortification. ‘We can now turn to California and Congress our whole attention, besides secing how the eabinet are to get out of the Cuban contingencies—of which we may expect not a few. ‘Tar Examination or Oxz-Evzv Tompson, on te Torrepo Cuarar.—Tie report of the second day’s examination in this curious case, before Jus- tice Osborne, will be found at length elsewhere. The evidence seems to be abundant and strong in favor of sending the whole aflair to the Grand Jury. Much stronger testimony, however, can be brought out from Young Drury, if the public pro- secutor chooses to do his duty like aman. There seems to be languor and relaxation in the course of Assistant Attorney Phillips. He does not show so much life in receiving and discovering evidence in | this case, as he can do in receiving a gold watch or in discovering the exact time of day. Why does not the District Attorney himself, or at least his upper assistant, Mr. Graham, take a hand in the business? Was not Mr. Graham especially ap- pointed, and will he not be paid for his assistance in this torpedo business? Call up Young Drary-- and let there be full light on the matter. Tue Beverit or Mr. Bass.—There ought to be an outpouring of all the taste in the upper part of the city, to-night, in honor to Mr. Bass, of the As- tor Place Theatre. Mr. Bass has made two of the best literary speeches, at two public dinners; has performed admirably throughout the whole season; has manfully braved misfortune after being wreck- ed at the South, losing everything; has lost a great deal of money, in endeavering to establish a dispo- sition for the higher style of the drama‘; and all this, within a few months. These are trivial con- siderations compared with his merits, which alone should fill the house in every part. Send up your dollars, and gladden “the heart of a veteran. Let us all go. Grere.ey on Prystotocy.--Greeley says he be- lieves that “the negroes are descended from Adam | and Eve.” It is just as likely that the ox is de- scended from the ass, and the dog from the fatted calf.

But they have no money to pay their parenge to railways or the agricultural distriets. Here, then, the utility of the Commissioners of Emigration it they are good for anything.

At 10 o’cloek, yesterday morning, the proceedings relative to the investigation now pending against Wm. H, Thompson, known as One-Eyed Thompson, on the charge of manufacturing and sending a “torpedo box” to the reside: of Mr. Warner, was continued, The court room was attended by a number of persons enxious to cateh a glimpse of that universal genius, called One-Fyed Thompson, The prisoner, as usual. was very coo] and collected, taking his seat by the side of cowns:l, as on the former day, ‘ho tollowiag is the evidence taken up to the time of adjournment:— Jeese Patterson being sworn, says—I am one of the policemen attached to the Chiei’s office; I recollect the circumstance of a torpedo box’ exploding at Mr. ‘Warner's house; I have heard Mr. Thompson speak of the construction of the box, and other olreum- stences; it was after the arrest of Mr. Drury; I canuot recollect the exact date; the conversation took place in front of French’s Hotel; [ was saying to Mr. Thotap- son—rpcaking to him about the construction of the box— In my remarks to him, I said there was one pound ot powder in the box, and that was in the canister; he (Thomp-on) told me I knew nothing about it; he said there was a pound canister and three pounds of loose powder, and also cotton and gun cotton, and matches also; that was all that passed at that time that I recol- leet, respecting the “torpedo box;’? I had a conversa- taion previons to this at the Chief's office, on the Drury ease; he did net say that the box was made by any other person; I recollect eaying that Mr, Drari could pot have made the bot, and he replied, no; don't thiok Thompson described the box to me; I had geen the fragments of the “torpedo box;” the only thing we differed in was about the amountof powder in the box. Cross-examination.—A reward was offered for the detection of the maker ef this box; Mr. Warner off ed $500. The Mayor has offered the lik: ‘Wurner offered hia reward on the day ot ‘The reward was offered several weeks conversation with Thompson. I cannot give the exact words used in the conversation; Thompson did not sy that he hed examined the box; Thompson ex} essed himself that I was # fool to say one pound o: der, because he knew it contained threo pounds of joose powder, besides the canister, ae well as cote ton. ¢ box, I should say, was 11 inches by 6 inches, 4ig high. Leollected od deal ot burned cotton: bout the room. ‘the canister of powder was about 5 inches high; it must have been laid flat in the bex; the box I should say would contain four pounds of pow- der; that is, the three pounds placed in the box loose, This conversation with Thompson, and his knowledge of the contents of the box, struck me as very singular, The conversation afler this was of a Light character; I thought the statements of Thompson were singular, and his knowledge on that point, respecting the eon. tents of the box, because | had collected the fragments of the exploded box. and saw the canister, or its re- mains; at thiv time I did not think Thompson had seen the box. This conversation took place after the arrest of Drury. There were as many as four bunches of matches; I think I picked up two bunches tied to- gether, dipped in black sealing wax; I remarked that rury could not have made the box, because he had but opeerm. T did pot, at the time, make kaown these facts to the public uuthorities; from the appear- ance of the box, I should not think that it would con- tain four pounds of powder; I am vot able to say what quantity of loose powder the box would contain. Charles Bird being sworn, says—! know the omg ol Theard of a torpedo b: Rering exploded at Mr. War- ner’s house; the convereation L had with bps in front of the Tombs; the conversation was held between Thompson and officer Joseph; Thompson said he had been out of the city on business for Dr, Moffatt; Thompson stated thet he had been arrested on the charge of meking the box, and was discharged; he fur- ther stated that did make the “ torpedo box.” and carried itto Mr. Warner's house; he also stated that had made a similar box, and put it into @ valise. which he carried with him for the purpose cf blowing up the licemen who should arrest him; “ Well, but,” said |, you might be biown up yourself at the station house when it exploded.” “ Oh! no.”” eaid Thompson, “it would only knock down two or three men, and L would get out of the way.” I remarked, “I always thought you was u pretty smart kind of fellow, but now I think you are a d—d fool to say #0, even if you did or did not iaake the box in question; he then went om to state that he was the inventer of this kind of box. Crors-examination —I was not a police officer at that time; I was formerly; I did not hear him say he could make one to blow up the City Hall. nor he make one to blow up eight men; he rtated that be had made a do an ing around ina valise, in the Fifth and Fifteenth }. for the purpose of being arrested, to blow them uj told him if he came across me he would not song.

Thompron here rose up, avd with # smile on his countenance. faid to Bird, “ How many such mon as you cen be bought for $10 each !”” Mr. Bird replied, in a very positive manner, “You, nor any other man, can buy me—no thief can buy me; I have heard of your threats made on the other side of the river.” (Excitement in court.) The magistrate here interposed. and stopped any forther remarks being made Williem B. Barber, Ly | fworn, says—I know the prisoner, W. B.
