It | seems that this impression is entirely a mistaken one. They originally formed @ copartnership, on | terms of mutual respect, and on the platform of | dollars and cents. Barnum considered Jenny Lind the greatest nightingale of the age, and she ad- mitted that he was the Napoleon in his line. This feeling of mutual respect, calculated on dollars and cents, has been maintained with unabated confi- dence from the time of the commencement of their peregrinations up to the sudden separation, in the midst of the sawdust ofthe Philadelphia circus. In proof of this perfect friendship, which has always existed between them, and of the cordial feeling with which they separated, the following important document from the hand of the fair nightingale herself, has been published :— To P. T. Banwuot, Bsg.—My dear sir-—I accept your proposition to close our contruct to-night, at the ead of the ninety-third concert, on condition of my paying you $7.00, in addition to the sum I forfeit under the eomli- tion of fishing the engagement at the end of one hun- dred concerts. lam dear sir, yours truly.

Tur Linen Surr—Brooklyn Daily Freeman vs. Brooklyn Daily Advertiser.—The examination of the defendan s ‘was resumed last week before Justice King, and the evi- dence being all in, the matter waits his adjudication, The whole affair seems to realize the fable of ~ the moun- tain in labor; and though considerable amusement wa caused, the “developemer ts’ fell very short of the general expectation. chiefly owing to the fact that the « = ment” by which the Freeman was to support the Mayor at the last election, was proved to have been made be- tween him and (the then proprieter) Judge Johnson and Mr, W. A. Green. then candidate for the corporation couvsellorship. The complainant, Colston, was, at that time. only the publisher, and was called in afterwards, as to scme matters of detail us to circlating an extra m1) ber of papers, embellished with a wood-cut portrait of the whig candidate for the Mayoralty; and in that caps city he received $75, of which much has been said; b yond this, the particulars of the ecmpact were ruled out. ‘A copy of the portrait was produced. aud handed round. It appeared a very fuir likeness, and the circulation of 10,000 impressions well worth the money to any one am- bitious of “extending his countenance” to the voters at the interesting period of an election. Colonel Crooke offered some evidence to disprove cer- tain stat nts made by the Mayor on the former oe. ion, when the defendant's counsel objected. He did not intend the examination to be conducted with a view to gratify any morbid curiosity of the Free- man. or its readers; and as they had cross-examined him patters unconnected with the direct examination, they bad made him their witness on those matters, and could not now impeach him. ‘The Court hoped counsel would continue to keep out 4 unimportant questions, Mr. W.G Hammond, Judge Jobrson, General Duryea, and Mr. W. A. Green, were successively called on the stand. The greater part of the testimony referred to some financial arrangements connected with the bills due to the Freeman from the Corporstion, and which were Judge Johnson s property upto the transfer on the lst of January to Colston, and the original casus belli appeared to have been the Mayor erroneously Kupporing that the one for about $500 was Colston’s, ‘und that he could. by virtue of his office, stop the payment, reimburse himself for the $200 loaned him, and which he, in effeet,diddo. Judge John- son Was asked whether the arrangement was not that in the event of the Freeman supporting Mr. Brush, he would not oppose Mr. Green in his appointment us counsel fur the Corporation? This question wus objected to, on the ground before stated. The Court said, if the Mayor's testimony was unim- — all through, it would uot alter their positioa one eral Duryea stated he had never offered the con- trol of the Freeman to the Mayor for a sum of money; but at Judge Jobnson’s request, he had asked him if he would take the mortgage which the latter was auxions to dispore of. William A. Green was called, and Col. Crooke was con- tinuing to question him, when objections were again tuken to anattempt to impeach the Mayor, and the Court suid it Was irrelevant. ‘The Colonel seid: Well, if your Houor means that it is of no consequence what the Mayor swears—” Judge King.—The Court did not say that. Defendants counsel hoped the Court did not mean that he did not believe it. Judge King.--No. The Court raid nothing of the sort. Cel Crooke —The Court meant it was of no © Judge Kip e Court did not ray that either, ing whatever was elicited from this witness, but that he wasthe medium of the negotiation—having lad infiuence to secure the support of the Freemaa—and the counel fir the defence rested, the summing up being postponed, This was gone into on Thursday. and we ere then reminded of the charge before the Court, which is for a litel, mail rystem of support, The Judge rese a his decision, and bas not yet delivered it. It would bave been impossible fur a mere spectator ty tell who was the party ou trial; but the Mayor. who was present throughout the examiuation, reminded one foi cibly of Sam Weller’s very sapieut remark: “Battledore accusing Colston of resorting to the ard sbuttlecock is a wery pleasant game--but when you're | Ibeshotticocck, and two lawyers ts the battledores, 1s a deal too excitin to be pleasant.” Cmeurr rfore Hon, NB, Moi w 12, 18, Wm, HW, Wateh ag 2 Insurance Company of New York.—The plaintitl vetion kept a feed store in Myrtle avenue, which was conelderably damaged by fre ia duly lace, his atook being destroyed, and Nis loss, as alleged. amount $480 ‘This was denied on the part of the insurance company. and it was contended that it did not excoed $10. ‘The trial commenced on Thursday, und occupied | evente eos im all on Fridsy and includivg ¢ were exainined, oh fers of tie Fire Department, Verdict for plaiatiif.
