A.—They were wader my control. Mr. Bradley —Under your control; but had any one else at any time access té the papers? A.—Yes. (The witness retired.) . | Mr. Fendall then offered to read to the jury the memorial of Doctor George A. Gardner, to which Justice Myer had testified he had affixed a jurat, &c., being the paper containing the alleged false swear- ing. | Sir. Bradley objected. | The Court ‘said he would take till Monday before deciding whether the memorial should go to the jury; | and then, at half-past four o'clock, the court ad- | journed. tox, March 16, 1853. | ‘The witness, John M. Togre, was recalledjat his own re- quest, and explained some points in h s eviderce given | yesterday. He now distinetly recollected having seen Dr. rdner in the city of Mexico in 1845. The witness’ ex- yenses, in coming and staying here, and returning home, | amounted to upwards of eight hundred dollars, as he as- certained from the bills, and were borne by government. Nosh E, Smith being sworn, testified that he resided in Mexico city from 1831 or 1832 until 1848; saw Dr. Gardner there from 1842 to 1844 he appeared well dressed, and made a good living by his profession; conversed with him in 1844, just before he left; Gardner said he was going into the interior to practice dentistry; could do better there, as there were not so many dentists there. Jawes Wright, a minor, testified that he met Gardner | ona steamboat, in May, 1840, on his way to Mexico; | that he had not then means enough to pay his way to the city of Mexico, and told witness he would practise dentistry on the journey from Vera Cruz to Mexico, to raise the mesns for getting there; saw him afterwards in Puebla, practising dentistry; and in 1842, saw him ia ¥Nexico, where he remained until 1844, practising dentis- try, and did no cther business; Gardner left Mexico in | 1844, and told witness he owned part of,a share in a mine jn Marilla, and was going to it; witness never saw him after that till he came here; met him cne day at Willard’s, with Togre and Sayres; Gardner passed wine at table to them; after dinner they met in the passage; when Gardner arked witness if he and the others wero not here as witzerses against him; witness told him he was, snd did not want any more conversation with him and advised hin not to pass any more wine to him, as it would not be reciprocated. Sixty odd papers, letters, &e., in Spanish, were pre- sented to witness, which he identified as being signed by George A. Gardner. These papers show Gardner's where- abouts in various parts of Mexico, from 1844 to 1847, and his diversitied occupations. As neither court, Spanirh, the documents were laid aside, to be translated to the jury to-morrow morning. The cross-examination was commenced, but not con- cluded, when the court adjourned. Madame Sontag In Court. FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT. Before Wm. H. Van Cott, Justice. | March 15.—Counsel for defendants, B, Galbraith and J. Townshend Counsel forthe plaintif, Sandford & Porter BUETLER VS. ROS AND WIPE, The plaintiff is a chorus singer. The defendants are the Count ana Countess de Rossi, the latter better known as Madame Sontag. As it was known that Madame 8, herself had been subponed as a witness, her appearance in Court was eagerly watched for. A few minutes before the case was called up, a whisper ran through the crowd that the Countess was in an adjoining room, and ail eyes were directed towards the apartment, and every one manifested an anxiety to behold her. At length Justice Van Cott took his seat upon the benoh, and called the case. Mr. Galbraith then left the Court, but soon re- turned, ushering in Madame Sontag and her husband, Count Rossi, whose appearance caused a regular flutter in Court Fyesas weil as tongues were ret in motion— the Grct in admiring the beauty and the grace of the fair cantatrice and the second in making flattering comments. Mr. Galbraith condueted the lady and her hushand,to chairs, and after they were seated the proceedings com- meneed. Mr. Stryker, for the plaintiff, stated that the action was to recover two weeks salary alleged to be due the plaintiff, by virtue of « contract in writing purporting to be signed by the agent of Madame Sontag, and on her behalf. The circumstances of the ease, said tiff’s counsel, are, that the plaintiff. with others, gaged, about the Zth of December last, to sing in the chorus of the concerts and operas in whish Madame Son- tag appeared, and about the same time the wife of the Pigio i?, and wives of some others, were employed for | tif female department of the chorus. Husbands and wives were employed thenceforth until the 18th of ) Janus at which time some modification of the engagement was offered to the ohorus sing- , male and female, and they were informed that unless that modification was nales of the chorus would be dismissed. Tae plaintiff and others refused agvent to the proposed modification, not believing that the threatened discharge of their wires would take place, The threat, however, was car: rieé into execntion, and thir step, said the learned coun. sel, caused so much alarm to the plaintiff that it deprived him of his voice, and he was unable to xing, and omitted to sing fer one night. ‘The plaintiff, when recovered from his fright, desired to continue bis engagement, but was not permitted, it being alleged that be had broken his en- gagement. Plaintiff's counsel then offered in evidence two docu | ments, purporting to be signed for Madame Sontag. T intiff'* counsel next desired to call Madame Son- witness, but her counsel objecting, the Justice she could not be called. Kernard Ulman was thencalled.

ACTION FOR LIBEL ON MR. PORREST PUBLISHED 16 THE EVENING MIRROR. Mancu 16.—Kiwin Forrest vs. Hiram Fuller.—This was anaction brought by Mr. Forrest, the celebrated trage- diap, against the proprietor of the Brening Mirror news- paper, for the publication of » false, scandalons, mali- cious and defamatory article, published in the Mirror on 2d August, 1851, and copied from the $:. Louis Reveille. ‘The article in question condemned in very strong terms Mr. Forrest’s re-appearance on the stage, and called upon the audience to give unmistakable evidence of their con- tempt for him, &e. The complainant alleges that the de- fendant republished the article with the intent to injure him, and bring him into public disgrace, and lays his damages at $10,000. For the defendant, Mr. Richard Busteed admits the pavlication, but denies the malice. He alleges that, in the management of a newspaper, it is necessary for the defendant to employ a num. ber of to assist him, among whom are sub-editors, who have the charge of selecting from other newspapers and various sources, articles and items of news; that the "selection is entirely entrusted to them, and that the defendant, who conducts only the editorial department of the Mirror, ia many cases does not see the articles so selected until after they are printed and published in the daily issue of his paper that the article complained of ‘by the plaintif’ was 20 lected by the sub-editors, or some one of them, without the defendant’s knowledge or consent, and was ‘not seen by him until after the publication of the paper ia which it appeared. ir. Forrest was in court, as was also the defendant. After an objection made b; defendant to two jurors, the following were erapannelled— Jeno So that, ‘Adolph Adams, jacob Sout Jobn Coyler, Wm. J. Coles,” Samuel Stiles, Abraham Harris, Patrick Brennan, Edwin Clark, David Wood, Edw. Blackford. Counsel for plaintiff opened the case to the jury. Mr. Edwin Forrest, the tiff, he said, said, was an artist of great celebrity, whose fame is familiar to them all. He isan American by birth—an American in feeling, andan Awerican in conduct. The defendant is Mr. Hiram Ful ler, the proprietor of a paper known aa the Heening Mirror. It seems that previous to August, 1851, Mr. Fuller cher- ished the deepest hostility to Mr. Forrest, and seized every opportunity to malign him, and not only endeavored to destroy his character asa map, but his prospects as an artist. In 1851, Mr, Fuller having exhausted his own malice, looked around for that of others, and aceordingl he found a most malicious article published in a simall paper as far off as Missouri. The counsel then proceoded to read the libel in question, and to characterize it as a wanton and malicioustpublication. ‘Thomas Barry was the first witness called, and deposed =I reside in New York; I am stage manager of the Broadway theatre; I know Mr. Forrest; I know Mr. Fuller; I have known Mr. Forrest upwards ef five-and-twenty years, and Mr. Fuller some ten or twelve years; Mr. For- rest’s profession is that of an actor; as an actor he oc- cupies the first position. r. Busteed—I don’t dispute that he is an actor of the highest eminence. Witness continued—It was a matter of general noto- riety in August, 1851, that Mr. Forrest was about to re- appear on the étage; I think his acting bad been sus- pended for more than twelve months; it was understood that he contemplated first re-appearing at the Broadway in this city; I knew it four months before August, ’61, but it was publiely spoken of in June. Cross-examined by Mr. Busteed—It is a part of my duty toemploy persons to appear on thoze boerds; the lessee, Mr. Marshall, and myself perform that duty; Mr. E. A. Marsball was lessee in August, 1851, and prior thereto; my terms of acquaintance with Mr. Forrest have been those of great iutimaey for many years;I don’t know that I rank as one of his close friends; I'presume Mr. Marshall is and has been on terms of great intimacy with Mr, Forrest for some time; 1 heard. the subject of Mr. Forrest’s re-appearance among some theat- rical people, and some few of the patrons of the theatre; I went to Europe on the second of July, 1861, for I know I was at sea on the fourth; I don’t know where, Mr. For- rest was when I left New York; I returned on the 12th of August, having left Liverpool on the 2d; Isaw Mr. Forrest shortly after; Mr. Forrest. was and ap- peared at the Broadway theatre about the middle of Sep- tember, 1851; Mr. Marshall made that engagement with him alone; it must have been made either in Merch, or prior to March, 1851. Q. Had your attention been called to the article in question prior to the engagement of Mr. Forrest? A. I resided in Boston up to June, andI hai but little opportunity of seeing the New York papers. Hab ele ‘was repeated, and counsel for plaintiff ob- jected to it. that the publication of this al Ubel in no wa affected or injured Mr. Forrest; that Mr. Marshall sti employed him, and that the audiences were more nu- merous than ever, and the welcome which he received was most unbounded in its enthusiarm. The Court ruled against the question, and Mr. Busteed excepted. Witness continued.—The audiences were large during Mr. Forrest’s engagement, which lasted for a fortnight; the audiences continued large to its clove; he re-appeared in about two months after; that engagement lasted one week. It was here admitted that Mr. Forrest's engagements were most successful, and that he was playing to crowded houses at the present time. Counsel for plaintiff offered several copies of the Mirror, for the purpose of showing the malice of Mr. Fuller to” wards Mr. Forrest. ‘The dates of the papers were from | April, 1849, up to and including the 24 August, 1851. The articles, be said. were malicious, and one of them attri- buted to Mr. Forrest the bloodshed at the Astor place riots. He offered them for the purpose of showing the most expres: malice. Mr. Buxteed objected to these articles being put in evi- derce, and the Court overruled the offer for the present. | Counsel for plainti excepted, and said that this clo.ed | bis care. | Mr Busteed then addressed the jury for the Jefendant, Mr. Fuller's answer, it was presumed to be true and he | was therefore not bound to produce evidence to substan | tiete what is et forth im the defendant's answer. The | plaintiif Led demurred to the answer, but that demurrer was overruled. dence in mitigation of dam | fendant had no kuowledge of | published in the Mirror, | act of one of his subordinates. ‘The Court ruled that the answer might be put in as mitigatory evidence. Counsel for plaintiff excepted, and | then moved to filoa sworn reply, denying the truth of the | mitigatory circumstances contained in the answer, which | the Court has now permitted to be read. | _ The Court would allow the trial t» go off, and the mo- 8, by showing that the de- the @rticle until he saw it | tion to be made at another time; but refuses to allow | | the motion now. Plaintiff's counsel excepted, d again | offeree the several copies of the Mirror containing av te | ries of articles of a malicious nature, and to prove that | there was no recantation of the libel complained of, nor the slightest apology made for its publication: but that there was a standing personal hostility on the | part of the defendant towards the plaintiff. The | Court ruled that they were inadmissible, and counsel for | plaintiff excepted. The testimony here closed, and counsel proceeded to sum up. Mr. Busteed admitted the publication, but de- nied malice, and argued that though there should. be a verdict against his client, it should be one of a mitigated nature. Adjourned.

Stimpson, James Me Grath and cthers.—This was an action for false arrest. appeared that im 1849, the Day Book, then published un- | der the control cf Doctor Lacon, and with which the plaintiff was connected, contained an article which Mr. Stimpson, who is now one of the proprietors of the same paper, considered a libelon him. He accordingly went to Judge McGrath, and madea complaint, which resulted | in the arrest of Ashley, who was taken’ to the tonrba, | locked up, and subsequently admitted to bail, After the | examination of some witnesses, Mr. Ralph Lockwood, on | behalf of the defendants, submitted that no case was | made out to sustain the act*on.

This was objected to, and the | Court directed a juror to be withdrawn FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Wepnesvay, March 16—6 P.M. We have nothing new or interesting to report in the stock market to-day. There were large sales or Nicaragua Transit, Erie Railroad, and Florence and Keyport.

Parties at all acquainted with the tirely destitute of coal. Supplies consequently must go from the rich deposits contained in the hills bordering on the Ohio river. It is also well knowo that the annual increase of consumption of coal on the Western waters is even.larger than on the Atlan- tic seaboard, and that the supply at all of the impor- tant ports on the lakes falla short of the demand. ‘This company have the advantage of an access to the lake market, over a substantial railroad, only ninety. eb. miles jong, already completed.

These advantages, together with their revenues arising from wharfages, and also from stone quarries and beds of fire clay, present a combination of sources from whence this company will derive revenue, and mast of neces- sity, when placed in full tide of operation, secure to the stockholders very large dividends. A letter from the coal district of Cumberland of a recent date, says:—‘‘ The Westernport gentry ex- press great indignation against the representations made in the report of the Camberland Company, that the coal of their region becomes dust as soon as it is exposed to the action of the external air. Now permit me to inform you, that the six feet vein opened by the Phoenix, the new Creek, and especially by the Llangollan, fully proves to the letier the whole of our charge, that their coal, when mined is perfectly worthless.” With regard to the above, we happen to know that, notwithstanding, the Phoenix have been com- pelled to abandon their works at the six feat vein, they are now urging forward their arrangements to send to market a very superior coal from their four- teen feet mine; and, although, they have sustained a costly disappointment in their former opening, they will be fully satisfied with their present anticipations with regard to the coal from the Big vein, whenever they shall succeed in bringing it forward. Some time since we remarked at some length on the policy pursued by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road in repudiating the claim of an agent employed to lobby in the Legislature of Virginia, pending the passage of a bill authorizing the extension of that road to the Ohio line. That article brought out a statement from Reverdy Johnson, the counsel of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, and John H. B. Latrobe, the engineer of the same concern. We now give the reply of the agent referred to, Mr. A. J. Marshall, who tells his own story in a very few words :— It is known that I have appealed to the city councils of Baltimore to instruct their members in the directory of the Baltimore and Ohio. Ralroad ;Company to use their best efforts before the Board to have the plea, impeaching their own contract with illegal and immoral Purpowe, withdrawn from the cause, and further instructing them | to defend the case of Marshall against the Baltimoro and Ohio Railroad Company upon its merits alone, irrespec: tive of all technicalities, or legal objections to the nature of the said contract. The atrocious defence resorted to by that company had impticated the good name of the city ot Baltimore, and I appealed to that manly sense of moral right ‘which, in all enlightened communities, will make men shudder and recoil from a mean and debasing action. In thisappeal I confined myself to that one de- fence which I claimed should be withdrawn, and I ex- pressly declined all allusion in explanation of the merits of the case in court, leaving that as matter for a jury. The statement of Messrs. Johnson and Latrobe, not responsive to my said memorial, but intended to oppose some outside views of the subject, taken by parties else- where than in Baltimore, does treat of the merits of the case in court, and does those merits distinct and decided injustice. Iam not without hopes that this Baltimore company, now the shame and public reproach of the Monumental city, may be forced to withdraw that de- basing defence by a correct public opinion, in which event I shall have an opportunity to exhibit, in a fit and Proper place, the merite of my claim, and the injustice of which I now complain. In the meantime, declini: all newspaper discussions of the merits of the case, wish to enter my protest against this aforesaid state- ment. Itis the ene of one party toa suit against a statement made by the other party, and will be taken for what it is worth. Iam pleased to find from this statement, that these very respectable attorneys are not responsible, in their | professional characters, for the resort. to this odious de- fence—a fact which, until now, 1 have been unable to learn. This leaves the President and Directors of the | Baltimore company alone responsible to their stockhold- era for all the consequences of this debasing plea, aud | should invoke am indignant rebuke from the citizens of Baltimore. A tingle remark, and I am done. If this company have an honest defence against my claim, why have they not rested their cause on its honest merits? Why do they advance a plea which out- 1ages the public morals, and covers them with general obloquy? All I ask is a fair trial on the merits.

Excess of imports over exports. $6,065,280 | This is an average excess of about three millions | of dollars per week, and the probability is that it will | continue at this rate throughout the month. It will be seen that the weekly exports continue excceding- ly small, while the imports exceed those for the cor- responding period in any previous year. This can- not continue long without bringing us enormously in debt to foreign manufacturers, and it is our impres- sion that before the balance already accumulated against us is liquidated, a large amount of specie | must go forward. We do not see how it can be other- wise. Last year when our importationa were many millions less in the same time, we were shipping spe- | cie extensively. This year remittances ia payment for iraports have been put off to the latest moment, | and the bulk has yet to be made in some shape. The importers have had as much as they could comforta- bly get along with in paying duties as they accrued, without liquidating a large portion of their indebted- ness for the goods imported, and as soon aa they can get money without paying too high arate of inter. est they will commence remitting actively. The Cincinnati Inquirer of the 9th inst. gives the annexed account of a financiering operation in tae treasury of the State of Indiana :— | | Areport from Mr. Manvilie, of the legislative Commit- tee of and Means, has developed a most astonishing, we might properly say astounding, serfes of frauds, or forgeries, or some other character of knavery, by which the people of Indiana have evidently been robbed of nearly thirty thousand dollars. How it was done ta not | stated, Roun ibly is not fully known ; but it has been done | by somebody, and well done. | It ix known that the State authorized the issuo of $722,640 of five per cent treasury notes ; and it ia known | there Lave been redeemed $12,540 over thet amount, The authorized issue of one-quarter per cent treasury notes was $70,000, while there have been redeemed $6,050 moro than the istue.
