Mr. Fabens’ Lecture on French Cayenne. Yesterday evening Mr. J. W. Fabons, late United States ‘Conau! at Cayenne, delivered a lecture, at the Taberna- cic, om that country, the proceeds of which were intend. ed to be devoted to the benefit of Messrs. Oucsne aad ‘Chambourseire, the French refugees who receatly os- caped from that penal settlement. Mr. Fabens com: tmeneed his lecture by remarking om the general disposi- tion of men te dissourse on intereiting themes with tions whieh he might have occssion to make, would, he trusted, be found worthy ef attention and consideration. fore the itself at this time ins peculiar aspect, | as follows: Firat—That the indictment emancipation has been enacted, and as offering a field for mercantile enterprise. People, generally speaking, are room where the almokt ignorant of even its geographical locality; and no wonder, for very often the newspapers publish accounts which are incerrect and misleading. He would present a few observations on its physical aspect, and then pro- c5ed to at its commercial and social condition. In with this , the lecturer des- cribed the geography of the colony, and, regarding itv ical aspect remarked, that in scattered portions of eee deep tracts of country of low level surface bushes.

To theearly French ti but they reso- rte it presented’ a forbic ing a lately set their shoulders to the wheel, and soon produced a change, for the graceful cotton plant was seen in full bloom, and the spices of the East lent a Samsnee to the ic, air; tamaricd and palm trees grew up as if by m: and the dark forests were made to yield the most val ble woode. Since then, emancipation has swept over the land and blighted the once fair prospect. However, the country still presents a fine field for commerce. Among the various commodities of the country, the sugar cane oc- cupies the first rank. This product is’ raised principally on table , though ruins are still to be seen on the slopes. The average production does not exceed 7,000 tothe acre. The process of cultivation is highly interesting. Many estates have been abandoned, and the quantity exported may be set down at zero. The clove tree was transplanted to Cayenne, where it has since been cultivated with success. It flourishes best on mountain sides, and is laid out in alleys of twenty feet, and the cloves grow in bunches on the combos of the ‘trees, and present a fine prospect. xy means of double ladders, and exposed in the sun, ates it be- comes browned. It requi but little Manoad of capital, and prewing in healthy ties, and requiring only amount of labor, can be worked by whites. Mr. Fabens thea entered into the particulars of other juc- tions, and showed how their cultivation had lined since the emametpation of the blacks. Such is the rich- nes of the soll and the beauty of the climate§ that even negro has omly occasion to work one day in fifteen to produge enough food for his family. The fruits, particu- larly, are abundant, and the bays and rivers abound with fish, and the forests with game. The forests would make the fortune of the man who would enter on a timber spec- ulation, for the production is great, and the means of transportation easy. The delightful climate of vayenne makes it a pleasant place of residence, and its wonderful exemptions from storms and earthquakes make it a con- venient stopping plaee for whalers and homeward bound Indiamen wanting supplies. Mr. Fabens then entered on the history of Cayense, and remarked that when, io 1791, the Assembly of France proelaimed throughout ‘the colonies the dictum that all men were free, the colonists were completely perplexed, but at length compromised mattors with their negroes by mere- ly informing them they were free, and then’ making them work ‘der than ever. Nevertheless, the colony was in an unsettled state; and in 1800 the planters set vigorously to work to frighten the blacks into obedience. Alter the overthrow of Louis Philippe the blacks were emancipated suddenly in Cayenne, aa well as in the other Freneb colonies. Coming as it did at first in the form of ‘8 declarat blasting all the planter’s prospects, it was indeed « bittler pill. and when the official decree frrived, ordering emancipation to tke place within two months, the planters anticipated it by freeing their negroes at once. A state of terror esisted among the colonists, and the military and police were kept continually on the qui ive. The tion of universal suffrage being appl te the bisoks, produced laughable farces, for many had mo names, and the christening seenes were fo the indicrous extreme; but on the day of voting the confusion was aw- ful. The result of these political measures is to be seen now in the colony, Which as crowded jails and grog shops, and presents many a scene of awful destitution. Desoiation has onscteded | 10 prosperity. The colonists had fesred that emancipation would be tollowed by an in- asurrection of the blacks; but the real mischief has shown itself in the ruin-caused by the laziness of the negroes. priya Benne existed before. but now we see that the blacks a:e slaves to their own brutal and degrading passions. After a few further remarks, Mr. Fabens con- cluded by making a few general observations on the colo- gy of Cayenne and its relations to the mother country, and hinted at the P: opriety ot the United States protest | ing again: uprearing of a penal colony, which will | scatter a stream of vice through her cities. { Court of General Sessions.

Maren 14—David Eden, who on Thursday week arrived in this city from London, was placed at the bar charged | with grand larceny. hisaceuser being Mr. William Wilkin- | son. a countryman and fellow passenger.

Prosecutor stat: it he was stopping at a house in Greenwich street ; that he come from London in the same vessel with the prisoner, and they arrived on Thurs- dey, the third March. The prisoner recom- mended him and all the passengers to go to Greenwich atreet ; but the next day he wanted him to go to Franklin square, the Walton House; having met there, as the | witness was giving his watch and money to the barkeeper, | the prisoner snatched it up before his face and ran awa with it. The wateh and cbain in England would be wort twenty pounds. He went to Greenwiely street aftewards with 4a officer, und the latter arrested Eden wit ‘bh aud part of the property in i wade some exense about intending to give it up; the con. siflee showed him the watch the next day. ‘The prisoner, on being asked whether he had any ques Hons to put, commenced a “straightforward” and some whatanising account of their first da ramble—their | going to see a sheep with five legs, in Chatham street, and | & number of places where they were selling watches by auction, &c, into all of which his more curious compan- ion, the prosecutor. would go. At length the Court with difficulty brought him to the occurrences at the Walton Honse. Here he alleged he found the proseeutor | drunk, and, on his cautioning him in a friendly way that he must beware, as he was not in his own country, he am ned his (prisoner's) ‘“heyes,” and struck him. He did not know what he was abont, and was going to give his watch to the barkeeper, when he seized it to keep it for him. He saw no money, and if Mr. Wilkinson lost any he knew nothing about it. He afterwardssaid he would not CH} the watch till he got $20 that the | prosecutor had of him. | Officer Gilliaud wed making the arrest at (reen- | wioh strect, where tie defendant was sitting by a table On which was some money.

It was found that he had purcha-ed # box and s quantity of clothing with part 1@ money. The prosecutor was recalled, who stated the prisoner's | was every word false; that he never had twenty | dollars, having worked his way out, assisting the cook; ‘and that he (witness) was not at all intoxicated, though be had taken « glass Tn answer to the Court, the prisoner explained that he Q) put the watch in his boot for safety; the place was full of “gonaiffs,”” (a London slang term, signifying*thieves. ) He could wecount for all the money, aa he had $10, but he had no friend there. ‘The cace was submitted under the charge of the Court, and the Jury pronounced a verdict of guiliy.

Then, again, she swearsgupon belief, which evi- venee would not be received in any court of justice, Judge Beebe, (smiling)—I'm afraid we must refuse your motion to quash. He then asked to see the inict- ment, which the Assistant District Attorney handed to him. It proved to be one for attempt at grand larceny in the room of Mrs. Wileon His Honor continued—There is nothing here upon which your motion can rest, and you must proceed to trial. Will you be tried by these gentlemen ¢ Prisoner—I should prefer that the jury be relieved. A fresh jury was sworn accordingly, and the prisoner having sent.an officer for the affidavits, pr to read them with great attention. Rebecca Wilson sworn—Resided at 141 Wost Twenty- seventh street; had seen the prisoner in her house; about 12 o'clock she went out, and when she came home tried to unlock her door, but could not do so; the key was on the inside; the prisoner opened the door ‘from the inside, and she found him in her room; she ran down stairs, a called for some one to come up, and a gentleman came from the lower fluor, and met the prisoner at the head of ine stairs; he then walked into the room, and ant down till the officers cama; when she went in, she found her bureau had been overhauled; her drawers’ searched, and | one out on the floor, and a little box which was locked had been broken open; the property consisted of her own, her husband’s, and children’s clothing, and some of & young man who had boarded there; never saw the pri- soner before; the door was bolted on'the inside. The prisoner cross-examined the witness, speaking of himself as “the dofendant,”” all through, ‘as if he were conducting the defence of anether person. The witness stated there were four families in the house; her room was on the second ffoor, in the front; sometimes the hall door was left open, but it was not customary; people would come into the hall without ceremony; she was po- sitive the door was bolted; had never testified she was not sure; the stoppage was not on the sill of the door: it opened clear of that by half an inch; could not see the ition of the bolt from the outside, and did not distinet- ly hear it slide. It was not by a temporary derangement of the bolt of the Tock the door was held. .—By whom was the door opened? A.—By the man in the insice, | ‘To the Court—That was the prisoner. Q.—What did the defendant say? A. wax doing in my room, and he said up.” (Laughter.) Q—Did he not tell you how he came there? A.—He said “‘Nothing.—I give up.”’ (Renewed laughter.) i Q—Have you no distinet recollection that he said he had been invited? A—No. Q.—Were you not agitated? A.—Of course I was, to find a stranger in my room. ‘Q.—Did the defendant, when the door was opened try to escape? A.—He had declared his intention before. | Question repeated. The Court—She has said not, but he had declared his intention. Prisoner—Yes, but I dont want that—(laughter); I | want a direct answer; this is a cross-examination (Loud lavghter.). Q—Was the defendant in the same room the things were broken open in? A,—I don't know, they were in my bedroom; the three rooms all open in one. The case for the prosecution closed here,and the defend- ant made a transcendental address to the jury at great length, and in the most rapid and verbose style, Fs 80 far as we could at all comprehend what he said, that the counsel for the people was mistaken in supposing that he could make it obligatory on them to coincide with him in his theory ofa felonious preconcepticn, as the unsubstan- tiated depositions were not equivalent to the ocular tes- timony which was required of two witnesses. In the course of his brilliant harangue, he descended from his stilts and playfally dwelt upon the instances, in our schooldays, when we had been made to suffer, right or wrong, and the many cases of injustice we were all sub- jected to threugh life. He also made some allusion to the defence, as stated on his examination, viz.: That he was a news carrier and magezine canvasser, and had | fone there in his buriness, when some unknown man, as e supposed the occupier, asked him to step in and wait; that a child came and got misplaced; that returned, &c. The Judge charged the jury very buiefly, pointing out the direct nature af Mrs. Wilson’s testimony, and they retired to consider their verdict After an absence of some titme,they came in, unable te agree. His Honor said he could not dixcharge them tn such clear case. Gne of them said some thought the evidence of the woman was not clear enough. Judge Beebe—I do not know how you could have it | mueh clearer, (He here recapitulated it.) Jurer—Thiee of us think 60, too: but the rest cannot agree, and another point they wish to know is,twhether the | prisoner's statement is entitled to weight. Judge—io none whatever if contradicted by uni peached evidence. They again retired, and returning in a few minutes ren- dered'a verdict of guilty of attempt at petit larceny, | with a recommendation to mercy. The prisoner being’ placed at the bar, the Judge ad- dressed him :—You've been in the penitentiary once be | fore, and that prevents our giving all the weight we would | to recomendation of the jury. (At this some of the jury were observed to givean outward sign of an in- ward charge of sentiment. ) Prisoner—No sir. Judge—Well, the county prison at Brooklyn You are | a very bad fellow. You have some talent, which you use for the worst purposes, and we now send you to the peni- tentiary for three months, which is the longest term we | can, under this conviction. | The prisoner wished to explain that he had then been | committed as a vagrant, under the vaurant law. Judge Beebe—Yes. That will doe. We know all about you. ‘Tlie prisoner hereapon reti Asa specimen of the prisoner's style, we snbjoin an extract from a letter written by him, while under arrest, to Mrs. Wilson. It was written from the Jefferson poltc court, and dated February 16.

The prison- er's father and step mother were also there. The Court were impressed with much sympathy for th of the prisoner, and determined, notwithstanding that he was rather beyond the ave, to send him to the House of Refuge. The youth had bes arrested at the Bowery theatre. In the course of the afternoon, Mr. Vander- yoort, the Clerk of the Court, was notified, fn reply to his inquiry, that the boy had before been in the House of Reluge, ‘and, as it was supposed, escaped. He was there- upon recalled, and his parents questioned, who stated that he had ‘been disebarged. Judge Beebe severely | tertimony that the deceased, when left alone, tied a repremanded them fer the deception practiced on the Court in the concealment of the fact of the former con- vietion.

Margaret Smith, aged 18, was indicted fer robbing her employer, uel Goodenstein, of 06 Norfolk «treet, on the 9th of November last, of sundry articles of wear: ing apperel and trinkets, to the value of $96. The case for the prosecution way clearly made out. The defendant, it was shown, left the hone very early one morning, and shortly alterwards the varions articles were misved. When arrested she had on a hat, dress and ring, fart of the stolen property. she boldly said she was not the person, having always lived in Providence, R 1.; that it was her sister who lived with the provecntor, and who was now dead, that bad given her the things. This artful and bold tale seemed to have taken them by surprise, and much trouble and delay was occasioned in sifting the trath. Providence, however, ultimately deserted the prisoner, and the total falsehood of her story wae made manifest. The jury having return ed s verdict of guilty, Judge Beebe said the Court had no sympathy for her, and sentenced her to two years and six months imprisonment. Adjourned till this (Tuesday) morning.

The demand being complied with on my part, I was politely assured that the affair would be adjusted on the follow- ing morning, te my satisfaction. But inttead of comply- ing with this promise, the customs officers summoned me to appear before the District Judge, under the ve chargat attemp' toevade the revenue laws republic. My ignee and the U.S. Consul were re- juested to hear the proceedings of the court, and after they were seated ata lange table, in the presence of Tarita, natary, and others interested in the division of the spoila, my case was called up, whon one of the Custom House efficere ited, a written condem- nation of my $48, signed by the Collector and Comptroll- er of ‘the customs, under the national motto, ‘God and Liberty,” which document was confirmed by his Honor, | the Judge, with an additional ‘‘ God and Liberty!” In vain did we explain to these officials that ,the mo- ney was not for exportation, but for the exper the ship. In vain did the consul and consignee piehd the poten of tho sum in refutation of the charge of de- rauding the revenue, and I was thsrefored thus forcibly compelled to lose my pocket money, earned by the sweat of my brow. It would not be unjust to say that the Revenue Laws of Mexico are composed of a web of snares to catch the un- practised visiters, and but fow escape there subtfle trap- rs. Pothe moment an American vessel arrives in port, her hatches and scuttles are all sealed up by the Custom House officers, and the most rigid watch is kept over her. No written regulations of the port are presented to the Captain, and in a short time he finds himself innocent!y involved in many difficulties, and prosecuted under laws as liberal and conststent as the late inquisitorial laws of Spain.

Captain Sampson, late of the New York, Bermuda, and St. :homas trade, left at 1134 o'clock yesterday for Glargow. Sho took no passengers. Scnoonrr Racnet P, BRowy.—This vessel, which arrived’ here day before yesterday, having been sent home from the coast of Africa, on suspicion of being a slaver, hails from New York, from which port we learn from the Captain (William A. Hinckling,) she sailed on the 20th Desember last, londed with an assorted cargo, bound ona trading voyage to the coast of Africa. He denies that he was en- gaged in the slave trade or had any such intention. He says his cargo is just sueh as all vessels carry that trade in that region. The following persons have been taken charge of by the United States Marshal, and lodged in jail | for examination. William A, Hinckling, captain; William Rilley, mate; David McKay, Henry Barrott, Alexander Bailey, Francis D, Waguer, and John Kayensugh, seamen. Mr. Francis is at present’ engaged in examining tho ser- geant at Old Point, who is charged with murdering one of the Bandemen there a few days since. As soon as he is through with that case he will proceed with this, which will probably be to-day or to morrow.—Norfol: Bacon, March 12. Stock Sales.
