Whilst the frigate jongress remained off Montevideo. her t of er not permitting of her passing sufficiontly gh up the river, for several weeks previous to tho itle of the 3d of February, Commodore McKeever shifted his broad pennant to this ship, off ‘Buenos Ayres, and had taken up his headquarters in the city, where ultimately his presence, with the ‘marines of the squadron, together with a similar force, under Admiral Henderson, of the English mavy, saved the pe from sack and pillage. It isa historical fact that the marines of the American navy have behaved well invariably when called in action; and to their great promptness and spirit in firing upon and killing the first party that attempt. ed plunder may be attributed the ultimate saly tion of the Gia On tho 2d of March we sailed to join the Congress at the Mount, and prepare for a long cruise, our resence not being deemed of farther importance at juenos Ayres after the establishment of » roan al government, with an army of twenty-five thou- sand men in and about the place. Sunday, the 7th, departed from the Mount, le: ig the Congress behind, with our imaginations filled with visions of Jong, black, fast sailing vessels made prizes of ; but alas for the gullability of poor human nature, wo seemed to avoid, instead of courting company, and keeping the coast close aboard up to the Island of St. Catharines, we anchored there tendays. Here we found an old ‘“‘spouter,” R. 8. Catheart, Acting Consul, and two American whalers recruiting, after anine months cruise. An American consul being a aman of functions, whenever found, a few words de- scriptive of tho individual, may suffice:—Some twenty years ago he wont into the island with a fine brig, of which he was part owner; aold her, married a Brazillian lady, and has become possessed of considerable land. This anchorage was much resorted to by the out- ward bound Californians two years ago, because of “the yellow fever at Rio, and shops to the north- -ward; and here it was, that the United States store- ship Supp!y stopped in distresss, with fever taken at the above named port, leaving behind her the mor- tal remains of the two Misses Gaines, daughters of Major Gaines, Governor of Oregon, on his way to the Pacific in the stores) Thank God, it was not my Jot to have been a witness to the agony of that father, leaving behind him in astrange land, and in the cold earth forever, his two loved daughters— both interesting young women, just budding into maturi Sailing from this beautiful island in continuation of the cruise, after the lapse of a fort- night, weentered this port of Babia Stopping nine «days hero, we departed, soured, musty, and mouldy, having been drenched to destraction by the heavy rains fallen in with in the southern edge of this tropic, and which we experiensed in such overflowing abundance throughout. Communicating with Per- nambuco, and quitting the same day in consequence the Island of Fernan de Norrohna, in lat. 4° S. This isolated spot seems as if nature intended it for the sole purpose that itis used for by Brazil, viz: as a penal settlement. American whalers touch here frequently for provisions. A few hours before ‘we got up to the anchorage, which is close in to the beach on the north side, a large ship communicated with the shore; but, ascertaining the scarcity of provisions, as we were afterwards informed, she stood out to the southward, most probubly for St. thing refreshing is to be had in great abundance. This ship was reported to be the Empire, Capt. Upham, of Nantucket, with 1,800 bbls. of 0 ; The readers of naval history will recollect that it was at this island that Commodore Bainbridgo fixed a point of rendezvous for his squadron— that squadron which aferwards distinguished it- self so pre-eminently, individually.

He was in the mizen chains, rinsing out his clothes, when he fell into the sea, ‘‘ with bubblin; groan, without a grave, unknelled, uncoflined, an unknown.” Every effort was made to rescue the poor fellow, but he could not swima stroke. In viewing the island of Fernan de Norrohna, in after years, I shall read the fate of Irvin Crawford (Lds.), of the United States ship Jamestown. He is supposed to have a sister and mother in Phila- delphia. Our stay upon this occasion was brief, safling on the 2d ultimo, we arrived here again in just hours from the instant of starting. Iam told by the old cruisers, that it is an uousual thing the rainy season, but especially since the appearance of the yellow fever on the coust. The exigencios of the service,” however, like charity, cover a mul- titude of sins, and the wear and tear of the per- sonnel and materiel of the Navy to any extent. In ‘consequence of the rain for the last twenty-four days, we returned to find much fever, principally, however, the polka fever, # modified form of the epi- demic that prevailed so fatally two years ago, and which is at this time very terrible at Rio Janeiro and Pernambuco. Just as we left the fever com- menced, and I am told that its ravages were fearful in the fourteen days of our absenee. As yot it has passed over this ship, and we are encouraged to hope, from the advanced stage of the season, that we may escape altogether, 1am, however, rather fearful upon this score, as there is some talk of a trip to the southward, to a place called Valencia, where the boat's crews must undergo undue ex- posure. AsI expect much interesting matter to grow ont of this trip I will lay by, in order to con- elude it in this running sketch. May 10th Bure enough, we are off on a pienic to Valencia, with the American Covsul and family, Field Marshal Coelho (the hero of Pernambuco) and family and suite, aboard; in all, a party of four Jadies, and some ten or a dozon others, in the shapo of orderlies, servants, children, and nurses. After having received this hero with the “pomp and circumstance of glorious war,” aud laid in stores for a few hours extra, we stood out inthe harbor. Tho weather proving fine, with a fuir wind and smooth sea, the distanas 30 miles, was soon accomplished, without the parties more than half Hach their hoots, anchoring about one mile inside the mouth of the Una river. The whole party, with a number of the officers of the ship, started in throo of the cutters and canoes to visit the village and cotton factory, some seven miles up This factory was commenced about seven years since, and is now only half completed. The Consul is interested in the factory, which works, at this timo, but fifty looms, and turns out a coarse fabric, which is used for sugar and eoffec bags. The manager is a New Englander, a Mr. Carson, a man of experience. Be returned with us to meet the steamer of the 18th ximo, for England, on his way to the United tates to purchase machinery. Much of that up ‘and in operation at present, was procured at Man- chester, England, but does not meet the expectation of the concern ; the preference is given now to the United States machinists for the remainder of the works, Which will be doubled before the close of the year. ‘ Poat of the cotton produced in the empire is pro- duced in this province. Tho article is said to be inferior to Sea Island, but quite as good as the best npland, and much too fine for the purpose used. The plant is a perennial, and ripens at irregular periods, dwice a year, demanding much labor in watching, to gather it from the bolls, before destroyed hy the rains. As our crop occurs with regularity, and not liable to so many contingencies, it isimpossible they can ever hope to compete with the Southern States in producing. The operatives number about two hundred, eighty of them girls; they receive two dollars © month, with their ‘* victuals and clothes. Is it not shameful? Wvery one who visited the place speaks in high terms of the system upon which is conducted. A number of Yankeos are ongaged nt the works; one of them, a young man from Phode Island, was a sergeant in the Now England a, under Ransom, and was in all the battles the valley of Moxico. He is a founder, and doing well here, Will you to inform me where a live Yankee is not to be found, and making money at that? v The in which the ship lay was called the Moro St. Paulo; at the entrance they are o alighthouse. After an absence of thirty: six hours the pic nic returned, all pleased with their trip, and the bal’ champétre of the evening previous. A ® mild breakfast upon lob scouse, and the adjustment of most of the party in the easiest posi- tion for ge! rid of it, the anchor was weighed in eo og ge B.M. brig Bonito, a vessel reputed to » end which we beat about six miles out of the thirty, between the two points. This little sailing match formed a pleasant episode’ to’ the re- turn trip, as even the estrangeros seemed to recover their stomachs fram the excitement, though there was even more swell on than when they came so near discarding their boots aforesaid. I am in- clined to the opinion that there was never a word in our sailing orders about this pic nic, and I rathor think, too, that there are not many persons who understand the secret of entertaining so advanta- geously as we do, for, actually, we brought back more grub than we started with A dificulty has recently ocourred at this place which may require the presence of the Japan squa- dron, to Reanaien theso Brazilians into a sense of propriety, as they are en route to the East. An American citizen, long a resident of Bahia— Wm. F. Harris, watohmabor.-died on the 23d of January, 1852. The American Consul, agreeably to treaty stipulations and to formor customs, pro- ceeded and took possession of his proporty, under bonds, for the benefit of his heirs in the United States. The Brazilian government also took pos- session, and claimed to administer the estate under their laws. To this our Consul remonatrated to the overnor of the province, and appealed to Mr. Schenck, our Minister at Rio. The government sus- tained the local courts; and Mr. Schenck fully sus- tained and approved of all our Consul had done, and urged him to persist in retaining the property up to ek er of actual force ; and if compelled to sur- render it, to do it only under a protest, which was done on the 5th of April, when the Brazilians took possession of the estate. This administration of estates is granted to Bri- tish, French, and Austrian citizens, and is now de- nied to Americans ; yet, by treaty, wo are placed on “an equality of the most favored nations.” The case is now referred to Rio, and should tho decision of the imperial court be adverse, a good drubbing may, perhaps, bring them to a sense of their duty. This same government of Brazil is just at this par- ticular period bloated with conceit. Since the fall of Rosas, they have been viewing tho world at largo, and its inbabitants, with the same degree of com- placency that the man in the moon*views all things sublunary. F.

The excitement which the coronation produced here has died away, and all goes “‘merry as a mar- riage bell” with Soulouque and his ebony consort. The ambassador from the Dominican republic, who came under the protection of the French Consul, has returned in high dudgeon, as Soulouque would not recognise the independence of his country. This annointed negro has all the arrogance and igno- rance peculiar to his race, when raised to a position where he can have full power to carry out his capri- cious and tyrannical designs. He persiste, against the wishes of his minister, in making preparations for the invasion of the Dominican republic. Youn, men, who are scarcely able to boar arms, are Siva in the streets, and all through the country. Mon of families, who are almost descoptd: are also pross- ed intothe service.

The latter pepe they do not lack, and are so perfect in the usiness that they could give lessons {@ the ‘Lon- don sparrows.” The population over which ‘our Emperor’ wields his seeptre, numbers about three hundred thousand, out of which he maintains an army of forty-five thousand. The result of this policy is now deve- loping itself. Coffee, the staple article of the coun- try, and from whence is derived the greater portion of the revenue, is annually decreasing ‘otton, the first in the world, is allowed to whiten planta- tions requiring no cultivation. It grows spon- taneously to a height of from ten to fifteen feet, and yet so indolent are the natives that they will sooner lie on the bare ground than gather as much of the fields as would make a bed The sugar cane is considered superior to that of Cuba; there are mills and refiaeries crumbling to decay, and no exertion made on the part of the govern- ment, to excite industry. The small quantity raised is converted into white rum, called * tafin;” it is of excellent quality and flavor, and is as good as Irish poteen; there is none of it exported, us the demand for home consumption is more than the supply. A few gentlemen here (white, of course) who read the universal Herasp, propose to send your corps of editors a barrel of it—thut is, if they are not Maine spirited to refuse the offer. The export of mahogany will, of course, be less than any preceding year, owing to the above cause. How, or in what manner, France is to be paid the instal- ment coming due, is a problem that the uninitiated cannot solve. You are aware that the stupid fools guaranteed to pay her one hundred aud twanty millions of francs; since then she has compromised the matter, and agreed to take (when she gets it) the half of it; but the government is unable to pay even ar instalment ofthe interest. Some sage woolly heads are in fear and trembling that * the uncle of my eG aquest for tack of better argument, ay send his collector. In 1832 such was the ap- prehension of a French invasion that a town was uilt at Lacoup, a distance of six miles from here, and three thousand feet above the level of the sea. The market is overstocked with provisions of eve- ry description; prices are very low, owing to the ground crop being very abunidants Coffee is selling from $84 a $83; doubloons are at $245, with a ten- dency to be $345 if matters continue as they are. “Our Emperor” is not only the head of things tem- poral, but also a pontiff in his own way; he is cer- tainly a liberal soul, and makes great allowance for the frailties of his clergy, who baye been expelled from the Church of Rome, and come here knowing that spiritual father will not enquire particularly into the state of their morals. ‘Chey are principal- ly Italians and French; and what is a,rare occur- renee, there is an Irish priest here equally as bad, and ‘‘cuts as convict a figure’’ as any of his learned confreres. But in sober truth, their conduct is in- famous, and they have not even the decency to hi their evil propensities, but proclaim their co over the virtue of negro girls, who have been fool- ish enough to repose their secrets to these reptiles; even the cMurch has been made, in several instances, the theatre of their profligacy. Such are the morals of the clergy, unchecked by any authority, nor si et to any rules. The Rev. W. L. Judd, Baptist: missionary, is doing all thet Christian zeal can do to abate this dreadful state of things. His exertions, joined with that of his pious and talented wite, have rescued many a seul from misery.

It would be a singular fact if Mr. Hincks’ failure in England were to prove really beneficial to this country; but "tis less improbable than strange. Governments are proverbially bad men of business, where all other things are equal; a merchant or an individual capitalist can always mako a better bar- gain than a cabinet of ministers. The Englishmen whose names I gave you ina previous lotter—men of immense fortunes, built by their own energy and wisdom—are pushing the negotiations with the rail- road companies in Canada and the Lower Provinoes with unexampled vigor. On the 18th inst., the government of New Brunswick, spurred on by their agents, definitely accepted their offer to build the European and North American road. On or about the same day, Mr. Ross, another London agent, closed a provisional agreement with the Quobec and Melbourne Railway Company; and the monoy for that enterprise—which has so often been monaced with abandonment—will also be forthcoming. The same gentleman then posted off to Hamilton, to ex- amino the country between that city and Montreal, and to treat for millions with the directors of the various sections of the projected trunk: line. In truth, when money is abundant at two per cont in England, a safe investment at six in this country is not to be despised; ospocially when, in our aspira- tions after material progress, we are prepared to jump at any terms. I shall be much mistaken if two years ure allowed to elapse without four or five important railways being constructed, or at least commenced, in British North America. The avnivergary of the patron saint of the Fronch Canadians, St. Jean Baptiste, occurred on Thurs- day. Toa stranger, the formal celebration of a ho- liday in honor ofa saint, whose title to the peculiar and especial respect of the habitans of Lower Canada cannot be discovered by the deepost re- search and most conscientious inquiry, must seem a very curious trait in our national character. Eng- men, Irishmen, and Scotchmen, have, it is true, founded societies christenod after their respective patron saints, the sole object of which is to admi- nister relief to distressed emigrants, each socicey caring espocially for those who claim to rank under its banner. Such societies are usually formed wherever British exiles are to be found in conside- rable numbers. But the French Canadians have no such excuse for their holiday; they are at home here ifanywhere, and several charitable and relig- 1ous bodies afford them an ample means of bestow- ing their alms in an efficient and praiseworthy man- ner. The practice must. I imagine, be ascribed to the national love of display which they have inhe- rited from their ancestors, Politios have something to do with it. A society inwhich every French Ca- nadian is enrolled, is no doubt a powerful electoral evgine; but the mat spring Saint: the body together, and gives such eclat to their processions, is the natural fondness of I’renchmen for shining brass and waving feathers. They met on the es- els at 9A.M., on Thursday, pedestrians in lack coat and breeches, with the national maple leaf; horsemen on steeds, released for the nonce from the hack, cab, or caleoche, and treated to an extra feed of oats, in the'view of inducing beauti- ful curvetings; the boys of the public schools all in light blue spencers, and each carrying a white flag— poor little creatures, bred in a wholesome terror of ecclesiastical power and a hearty disgust at freedom of thought!

It is proposed to widen it by purchasing the land on one side, pulling down the houses, and making the new street wind round the rampart. The Americans who love to spend a couple of days at the “ Gibral- tar of America,” will be glad to hear of the pro- posed improvement. Another city reform will soon go into operation—namely. the establishment of water works. The water is to be procured from Lo- rette, about eight miles distant. The reservoir will be about half # mile from St. Louis Gate. All who have heard of the continua! fires whish usually deso- late Quebec during the winter and spring, will re- joice that effectual means are at length being taken to check them. os] The eighteenth of June came and ended without notice, or the honor of a review, either here or at Kingston.

To this latter propensity, no peo- plein this country, in a moderate degree, are more reasonably addicted than the Albanians. A dra- matie temple was erocted here some forty years since, and flourished for somo six or cight years, during a part of which time the couutry was en- gaged in the second war with Great Britain. The population of the city was then some eighteen or twenty thousand. 1t languished for @ short time af- terwards, when it finally was closed, and the bailding was sold to a society of gy and converted into a religious edifice. In 1922 or 1825, 2 project was started for the erection of another thea- tre, and sufficient subscriptions obtained from the citizens to erect another temple dedi cated to bistrionics. The late Mr. Gilfert was entrusted with the managemont. He collected one of the best stock companies in the United States, among whom Mr. and Mrs. George Barrett wore great favorites.

This astounding affair created much consternation. The incident was taken ad- vantage of by the ents of the drama. Several of the pulpits wore filled with preachers whe were BU) tious enough to pronounce poor Dufly’s death as a judgment inflicted in consequence of p ing the profession of the stage. This hypocritical ranting produced the ired effect—the thoatre became closed, and the ‘stockholders reafizing no income, a large portion were desirous of disposing of their shares. Two or three individuals, em- bracing the opportunity, obtained possession of a majority of the stock, compelled the sale of the building to an Episcopalian society, and it is now known as St. Paul’s Church, with the Rov. Dr. J. Ingraham Kip aa its talented, revered, and He lar pastor, filled morning and afternoon with a tashion- able audience, whose ears are delighted with tho melody of the most talented sacred choir in this city, The course being then clear, and no formidable opposition sppoaring, Mr. Meech determined to en- large and refit his museum, whore only vaudevilles were acted, Yankee stories told, and ballads sung. He employed Mr. T., of New York, the celebrated builder of theatres, and at an expense of some five thousand dollars furnished tolerable accommoda- tions for four or five hundred persons in the third and fourth stories of the museum. Within the last year the Baptist society diposed of the Green street building, and it remained unoc- cupied several months. ‘The owner into whose hands it fell endeavored to dispose of it to some religious congregation, but did not succeed. After a while, it seoms that Mr. Preston made a purchase of it, for the purpose of re-converting it into a theatre—its original character. Ho immediately commenced his alterations, and has now engaged a large number of mechanics, and has it in a great state of forwardness. His scene painters are also brushing up the canvass, and he intends, although inan unfinished state, to give three or four repre sentations, commencing with Saturday evening of this week; after which the work will be resumed, and it is anticipated that all the accommodations, decorations, &c., will be completed so as to com- aietio® Recpariene occupancy on the first of Septem- ber. The theatre is computed to seat twelve hun- dred persons comfortably, having a parquette and three tiers of boxes. The stage will be as large as that of the Chatham, in the city of New York. Mr. Preston certainly possesses the roquisite in- dustry and ability to prosecute this undertaking with ‘success. He knows that his success depends upon the talent ho employs. If Gilfert could succeed twenty-five years ago, when the population of the city was only one half the present number— when wo possessed not one quarter of the wealth and industry we now do, and when there were com- paratively no facilities of communication with the surrounding villages--then there can be no doubt of succeeding with the present experiment.

Fort Hamm.ton, June 25, 1852. Influence of the Country upon the Citizen—Fort Hamilton as a Cowntry Residence—Beauties of the Place—Hamilton House—Its Architecture— Once the Quarters of General Washington— Recent Improvements— Health fulness of the Place— Private | Restdences—AttracMons for Ladies-~Music—Al- boni, &c. It is almoet impossible to realize the chango that comes over both mind and body on breaking up the settled habits of town life—whether professional, mercantile, or of fashion—to enjoy a respite from every absorbing care, with every thought turned free in the mind, as floats the freo air we broathe. Both mind and body relax at once on the withdraw- al of tho stimulus of the never ceasing dutios.in civio life, aud every one who knows how to enjoy the country in a manner most conducivo to hoalth, falls imprecoptably into a state of easy, comfortable indolence, dreaming day dreams—each one in his own way—the lawyer of cases, the merchant of | commerce, and the clergyman of creeds. But what- | ever the subject may be, it runs along in the mind at an easy pace, and with an inclination for the poetical. Such are the delightful influences of freedom of both | { body and mind, to be enjoyed in the country, with | green fields, shady groves, and puro air; and in this way the body gains new vigor, the mind new ener- BY, and life is prolonged and rendered more happy. Thave been accustomed in past years to look for these advantages only in distant places, and it is with no slight satisfaction that | find 1 have | been mistaken, and that this airy retreat possesses all the good qnalities of other resorts more remote, besides many others not to be found elsewhere. If one secks quietude, a more favorable place could not be found anywhere than Fort Hamilton, within the regions of those things essential to happiness evorywhere. Fort Hamilton is very fur from being merely the fortress that many suppose; but, on the contrary, a more delightful, cluster of elegant residences ‘and ornamental grounds cannot be found far or near, and conspicuous among them, with two fronts facing the sea, is the Hamilton House, which, with its light, airy architecture and elegance, its wellshadod purk in front, and fine prospect seaward, strikes the mind at once as one of the most delightful places nature and art combined could provide for a sum- mer abode. One would hardly suppose, in looking upon this building, so modern in appearance, that any part of it had ever been occupied by General Washinton ; but such is tho fact. Tho centre of the edifice was once an elegant stone mansion, and onthe front wall is pow an inscription on a tablet bearing date 1751, and the room Washington occupied is retained the same as in the beginning; while, upon the out- side, two prolongations have been extoaded from | the original building, making two fronts of 568 feet in all, which are covered by piazzas of astyle which is decidedly unique and beautiful. The lust and by wuch the longest addition has been made under the administration of Mr. Clapp, the present. proprietor, in order to muke room for the yearly increase of guests; and a higher commen- dation than this could scarcely be offered of his skill in catering for the public tastes. With a house so admirably adapted for the accommodation of a large number of families, and most liberally pro- vided with the ‘creature comforts,” together with the great facilities for passing to and from the city, it is not by any means a matter of wonder that it is a favored resort of New Yorkers as well as other citizens. Among the chief advantages of this place over almost every other, are its proximity to New York, the remarkable healthfulness of theatmosphere from the almost constant sea breezes, the beauty of the scenery, the capital fishing, and last, but by no means least, the character of the permanent resi- dents, many of whom are persons of high cultiva- tion and taste, who seek to make it desirable as a place of residence, not only for themselves but for transient visiters. Every one who has visited Fort Hamilton must have noticed the elegant mansion of Mr. Gelston, to whose enterprise the public is in- debted for the establishment of the Hamilton House; also the exquisite taste and air of refinoment oxhi- bited in the grounds and conservatories of Mr. Cum- mings, with many others scarcely loss tusteful or elegant. These things, in the aggregate, contribute much towards rendering a place desirable, and help to pa the summer months in a manner not only more happily. but contribute also to the preservation and acquisition of health. If, for instance, a ‘ bright particular star” appears in New York Aiboni—who it is desirable to hear, we h step on board the May Queen at night, and pay shilling, and return early in the morning ; or business calls us there during the day, the May Queen o: John Hart affords conveyance up in the morning and back at night, if if is desirable to take an oiring up the Island, the scenery is no where elee surpassed, and Remsen is well known to keep a conveyance to suit every taste.

A Pole called at the Mayor's olfice, on Monday, and asked permission to visit the Moyamensing prison, stat~ ing that he desired to have a talk with the Skupinskd brothers. He was informed that they had no authority to give such a permit. The same person called Mayor Giipin yesterday afternoon, and'stated that he bed had an interview with the prisoners, and desired to make a statement of what bad passed between them, He was acccrdingly sworn by Lieut. Buckley, and mado the fel- lowing strange developements :— I wis a Captain of the cavalry in General Bem’s corps in Hungary, and now reside in this city, and am em- ployed in a manufactory here; I have had for a long time a desire to eee the Skupinskis, expecially Matthias, and te learn everything relating to the crime charged against him. I desirea to sce Matthias, because I thought L could induce him to tell me everything, and becauso he esteemed me very much, I mean that I would have great influence over him. Yesterday, having obtaimed paniation, I virited Matthias in his cell, in Moyamonsing prison, After some hesitation and prevarication, Matthias pres mired to tell me the whote truth about everything, Om my arking him who killed young Lehman, he answé “1 killed him myself, with my own hands, by taking s leg of the stove and striking him over the head. whiok killed him ut once, and then I threw him in the cellar, ‘There were present with me, my cousin Blaise, and a mam whom I have heretofore called Kaiser, but whose read nome is John Rutkowski. a butcher, Afterwards we three cut him up in pieces, and put him in the bags, two of which were old bags, and eme new. formed from Lehman's coat; the old bags bed feathers, (ihey lived on hens and geese partly, whiok they stole, avd immediately plucked off the feathers to prevent their being recognized.)

He is a very short man, thick set and stout, light hair. mo moustaches or beard. large nose, very fieehy in the face. florid complexion, blue eyes, very strong Matthias says he lives in the woods or moun- tains near Philadelphia, On deponent’s expressing sur- pris showing it in his looks, Matthias observing it, said, why aro you surprised?

Rutkowski being a butcher; but when Bisive and Rutkowski were gone out into the country, as if to buy hogs, they murdered and robbed everybody they met. Blaise and Rutkowski killed thir- teen persons, Llaise kilicd eleven persons, and Rutkow- +ki two persons, Their agreement was to rob and mur- der. their chief aim to obtain $10,000, with which to deal in money and jewelry in California, In Newark, N J., they kitied aGerman family—that is, Matthias, Blaise, and Rutkowski. ‘The futher was first killed, then the mother, and next one or two servants, ‘There were three daughters, whom they viclated before they killed. They got $73 and some jewelry. They then covered them over while they were ‘on their knees praying for their lives. The house waa set on fire. and all were consumed together. Matthias said this to the deponent yesterday. Sutthias was wil- Ling to spare the lives of the three girls, nut Rutkowski rnid “if they did +o, they would be witnesses against them.” and then they killed them, In all cases (hey had with them tar and rosin, with which they bermeared the bodies after they killed them, so that if the house should not be enti consumed, they might be certain the bodies would burn up at al ents. and thus the mode or way in which such persons came by their deaths would bea sveret. ‘This family waa a German family. and fs of this charac- ter were commiited in the vi timore.
