To the Court—It was in the month of December the extraordinary press of business was; Ithink we employ- ed oxtra in the latter end of November. To Mr. Dartin, Regular clerks of the institution may have been in the month of January after six ry in the evening; they may have been “ loafing” aro but I am not aware of any work being for them; Iwas from half. = eight to half-past nine in the mornings di the hurry of business every day, and three or four nights in the week; I paid partic at- tention to what the clerks were doing; I was there vary often on Sunday; I can’t recollect a particular instance that I ever saw Hazen there upon a Sunday. Andrew Warner svorn—I was a member of the Com- mittee of ent, the Executive Committee, and oa ‘tary of the defendants, in 1850 and il. Q—What authority, if any. had Joseph Monk to om- ploy _ Plaintiff for extra servives in the year 1850 or Objeeted to by plaintiff; question allowed by the Court, aad exception taken. He may have had authority, but he had none from me or with my knowledge. Witness eontinned—Monk was clerk in the Art Union; he aever thes emer rg I left the County Clerk’s office the first of July, 1850, and gave my entire time to the Ait Union; I had authority to hire the clerks: the Ferm performed no extra services for the defendants tween the first of Uetober, 1850. and first of March, 1861, that Lam -aware of; I attended every day duri that time; I may have been out of town fer a few days; first heard of the claim for extra services in August last; ‘Mr. Hazen informed me of it; there were no stated hours for clerks in the instituticn; Monk had no authority to fix strted hours for clerks to work—I mean he had none from me or with my knowledge; the customary hours were from it o'clock in the morning until the business was of which was placed fore them to do; there extra were no payments ever made, to my knowledge, for services, as such, to lar employes. — What were Mr Hazen’s services worth from the lat of October, 1850, to the Ist of March, 1851? wee to, and ruled out as irrelevant¥ and as being against before. Witness continued—I believe Mr Hazen has been paid for all his Counsel— serviees except the claim for extra services. tate whether there was anything different in the manner of Hazen performing his duty as clerk, either in the hours of labor, or in ether respects, from Other clerks. There was not; the institution never paid ‘Sny claim for extra services to regular clerks, to the best of my knowledge; no such claim was ever presented, to my Knowledge, the gratuities which were generally given at the end of the year were uot, I think, given to all the elerks; Ibave heard the Treasurer repeatedly ask Mr. Monk for every kind of liability against the institution: this was sometime toward the middle of Becember, 1850; I think it was the same in December, 1851. ena) What knowledge Eare you of Hazen's being em to perform, or performing, extra services for the institution ? A.—I have no knowledge of his being employed to per- form, or performing, extra hours. Cross-examined by Mr. Darlington—I learn from this receipt that Hazen was at work previous to the lst of July, 1850; this bill was passed by me in November, 150; according to the last date upon these bills, his services st the Art Union terminated the 19th of March, 1861; I have seen him at work there evenings, I cannot say as | iste sa ten o'clock; he was there certainly after six o'clock; I sometimes remained until they closed up, but I bave an impressionMthat he did not always stay as late as I did; there was a portion of the time when there was no xecessity for his remaining; 1 distinctly recoliect his being there one Sunday, but I cannot swear positively to others; I recollect this one, as Mr. Monk called my attention to it; there was work done in the base- ment, but I cannot "positively say if he worked there or not; I think I did not swear that Hazen was paid for all his services; I limited the time, in my former | Answer, to bis claim for extra services: he rendered ser- vices im evenings after the 19th of March; 1 never found any fault with the manner in which he discharged his duties; I never made @ specific bargain with him: I can- not swear positively I must have seen him at the Art Tnion the day he came there; I presume that Mr. ‘Monk get perons to work there without my knowledge: I think that he pointed out their work to Mr. Burroughs and Hazen; I think Iempleyed Mr. Burroughs; perhaps Tasked Mr. Monk to proeure a suitable clerk, but I em- ployed him, as the employment was entrusted to me; I consider Mr. hs, in that sense, as employed by me; I think I never saw Burroughs or Hazen previous to coming to work; I never received any sum of money from the institution, except my regular salazy—oh, 1 believe I did receive some compensation for services pre- viously rendered; that was for performing as much ser. vice prior to my coming there asI did after I was em- ployed; 1 had opportunity of rendering such service when in the County Clerk’s office, before my regular salary m; I don't think there was specific a ment made in relation to this compensation; I had the | supervision of the clerks: this sum was paid me | services rendered before I was employed by the insti- tution; whilst I was receiving a salary at the Art Union, I got a sum of money for services during the six months before I came there, I did not consider it a gratuity; upon one occasion I did receive & gratuity from the Art Union; Mr. Monk had a more responsible position than the plaintiff, I cannot say that I gave him any general authority; to my knowledge there was no agreement made with Hazen as tothe hours of service; I'never knew from Hazen that he objected to work on Sundays; after the Treasurer asked Mr. Monk for a list of outstanding liabilities [ have frequently heard Monk allude to such bills; I did not know if he made a | return in writing, or how he accomplished the inquir To the Court—I always oi es that the plaintiff only worked there fora week after he wentto Mr. Corzens’, but I cannot swear as to the exact time he did work at ‘that period. Frederick M. Coe sworn—I never made a statement, to the effect that the plaintiff should be paid for his extra services, to Mr. Monk, Mr. Hazen, or any one else; I was & member of the Executive Committee and Committee of Management in the years 1850 and 1851; Iam aware now | and knew then that clerks were required not to work on | Sunday at the Art Union; the Committee of Management took action with regard to labor on Sunday; they did not | direct in writing with regard to it. [The Court exeluded the testimony as to their action, as it was not put in in | writing—would not receive parole evidence of the action ots eg me j Cross éxamined by Mr. Darlington—I was at the Art Trion on Sundays; i have seen persons at work there on that day, but whether for the institution or themselves iknow not; I have seen the plaintiff at work in the Art it is very likely I may have seen him there evenings at work; Jam not a surety upon the bond in this action; Ihave appeared as counsel in this cause in all its stages; Ido not remember that I ever saw the plaintiff at the rooms on Sunday; had [ seen him at work there on Sunday I should have remembered it. Colonel Warner recalied by Mr. Fullerton—Mr. Cozzens addressed a letter to me upon the subject of working npon Sunday; I cannot find that letter, I have looked very carefully for it, both at home and at the Art Unioo rooms; it was an official letter, J think [ must have re ceived the letter in the latter end of 1850. Counsel—State its centents. Witnesr—The letter directed that the Art Union rooms, office and all, should be clgged on Sundays, and that none of the employes should be permitted to work there; I com- municated its contents to Mr. Monk, and gave general di- rections that all the persons in the establishment should of it; Ithink I laced the letter in his ar 1851 ; Iam not sure left the County Cletk’s office ; I think I was at the rooms every Sunday after I got the letter myself ; {think I have seen Mr. Cozens there on Sunday after that; towerds the close of that year there was work eae tees it was Ny myself, I think ; imme- Ciately after feceipt of the letter there was no work ‘Mr. Corsens ae. been present when the work letter did not contain any re executive or m commitivees ; Anewer—He had none. * Witness continued—I bave been in the Art Union rooms on Sundays; I have seen employes working there upon ‘th ee da; I do not know what serviees the plaintiff ren- dered upon Sundays at :he rooms. Cross-examined—I do not think that I know the plain- tiff; Iknow that Mr. Monk had no authority to employ the plaintiff for extra services, as I was a member of the Executive Committee, which alone could give such au- thority; this is my only means of know Ido not know that Monk ever employed persons to do extra cer- vices: I do not know that Monk did not ever employ per- sons for such services; I know that Mr. Warner did em- vlog | rons for extra services. - Jarvis, Jr., recalled—I acted as Recording Secre- head 4 can Fre that there is ae Side ur upon the irec persons not to work upon Sundays. Mr. Dartington ebjected to she contents of the resolu- tion being given in evidence, unless it was brought home to the paint, and his contract made with reference thereto, and also upon the ground that the of such a committee could only be learned thenticated record of its proceedings. Witness continued—At a meeting of the Committee of Management, Mr.R. Kelly and Mr. Benedict suggested a resolution that the employes of the institution should keep away from the rooms on Sunday; the resolution was unanimously approved by a quorum of the committee, but was not entered upon the minutes; {t was conside: unnecessary to do so; it was a resolution to prevent la- bor on Sunday; Ido not know if it was ever reduced to writing; the committee directed me that it was not from an au- necessary tohave it on the minutes: I cannot fix the | time when it was done; Iam not positive as to the year in which it passed; Mr. Cozzens was the President; I cannot fix the time. Mr. Cozzens recalled—The resolution of which Mr. Jar- vis bas spoken passed in March or April; after it passed, I wrote a letter to Colonel Warner, instructing him to bave the doors closed on Sundaye, and to inform tbe em- ployes that they could not come there on Sundays; I was ae particular that the letter should be formal and official; I frequently visited the rooms of the Art Uuionon Sundays afier that time, but not immediately after; after that time saw other members of the Committee of Man: agement there on Sundays; there was no work done there on Sunday after that :ime; that is, not to my ositive knowledge; I never gave Hazen work to do on Sundays after June, 1850; I never took up his book on Sunday, ex- amined it, and returned it to him; I have never seen Ha- zen work there on Sunday, to my knowledge. George Barrett, swor lave been at the Art Union rooms three or four nights aweek, between the Ist of Oc- tober, 1850, and the lst of March, 1851; I went to seea person who was employed there; I know Hazen; I only remember to have seen him once there on those evenings; that was the only time I ever saw him there. Cross examined by Mr. Darlington—I am now in the employment of the American Art Union; Mr. Warner ask- ed me if Iknew anything about the action; I said ‘yes;"’ Ido not know positively that Hazen was not at work when I went there; Iwas not intimate with him; there is | only one room for clerks; there is a basement; 'I was al- ways down there; I bave known the plaintiff since the fall of 1850 or spring of 1851—I cannot state which. At this stage of the proceedings, his honor agreed to further postpone the hearing of the case until balf-past ten o'clock next Wednesday morning. This was done in order to meet the convenience of counsel on either side. FIFTH DAY. The trial of the cause of Hazen vs. the American Art Union was resumed at eleven o’clock Hrmoped morning. Mr. Darlington appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Coe for the defendants. The following testimony was taken:— Henry Johnston sworn, and examined by Mr. Coe—I know Joseph Monk; I have known him since the year 1843; I know his character. Q.—What is hia general character? The form of this question was objected to. The Court ruled that it was properly put, but his Honor did not see the necessity for counsel to go into that particular course of examination. Mr. Coe said that Mr. Monk, having made threats, and attempted to expose the Art Union, and having procured the daily attendance of » reporter, for, as he thought, that purpose, the defendants wish to show him the gal- lows he has himself erected. Answer of witness—In my estimation it is——— Cdjected to by plaintiff's counsel, and allowed by the Sourt. Witness—It is bad. Q—From your knowledge of his general would you believe him umder oath ? A.—I would not. Cross-examined—I have had personal knowledge of him; he was employed by the firm of which] was a mem- ber, in Boston, for about two years; we failed in business; I think I do not ordinarily associate with Mr. Moni have heard testimony given in Court by him in reference to another case; I think the trial was in the year 1845: the Court was held in this building; I was one of the de- fendants in the action; Ithink the plaintufs were Beers & Bogart, Mr. Monk was called upon to testify against me, Iheard testimony then given as to his general char- acter; I cannot say by whom it was given: [cannot give the name any one, from memory, who so testified: in that suit I was charged with defrauding creditors; I do not recollect to have heard Persons speak of his general char- acter sinee that time; I have not associated with Mr. Monk since that time; before the case was on for trial I heard nothing against his general character; I speak of his character with reference to the time the case was on; I cannot state what any particular witness said, at that time, with regard to his character; I do not know, in par- ticular, other of his general character only than’ what I heard at that time Question by Mr. Coe—What was the result of that trial? (Objected to, ruled out as irrelevant, amd exception tuker Ja ! R. Whiting—I know Mr. Monk; I don’t know that I can say I know his general character, that is, as far ae I know the meaning of the term; for the last ten or twelve eurs I have only seen Mr. Monk occasionally; I have not ad intercourse with his associates; I have been repeat- eharacter, | edly inquired of as to his character daring that time, and T have hea sons speak of it; if that constitutes his eneral character, I know it; when I first knew Mr. Monk his character was very good; my knowledge of his charac- ter is cbanged very materially sinec that time; it {1 changed, and for the worse, ghat is, be has lost his cha, racter with the gentlemen with whom I was associated who knew him when I first knew him; those gentlemen expressed a change of opinion to me some years ago: the expression was so stromg against him that I was among the last to give him up; I have known him nearly thirty ears; my acquaintance with him continued down to 840, I think. Q.—From your knowledge of his character, would you believe him ander,oath? A.—I should say, if Mr. Monk had no interest at all in the subject of controversy 1 would believe him, but if Mr. Mouk were deeply interested in the ease I would hesi- tate to believe him, for the reasom that I think he more governed in such cases by his passions than by his judgment. I don’t think I ever had any per y with Mr. Monk; I have heard nearly four hundred ‘times that Mr. Monk has spoken ill of me, but I paid very little attention to it: the diffi culties spoken about occurred regarding the Seventh Ward Bauk, of which I was a director; I sustained him in his position as a clerk there against the de sires and wishes of my fellow directors; they con vinced me that I was wrong: heard that he went to Al bany (o get me impeached before the Legislature; I never heard that he attempted to impeach me before Judge Lynch; Icould hardly name the particular individuals who have spoken to me, previous to four or five years ago, about him. Charles Chamberlain sworn—I know Mr. Monk; I do not know his associates, nor can J say that Iam am ac quainted with his general character: [ have lost sight of him for the last fifteen years; I cannot express an opin on as to what his general character is now Alfred 8. Frazer sworn—I am cashier of the Seventh Ward Bank; I have known Mr. Monk since 1833; I can’t say I know his character; I cannot say what his charac ter is; I can’t say whether it is good or not. Jobn 1. Edwards sworn—Iam cashier of the Broad- way Bank; Ihave been in the Seventh Ward Bank from to 1#47; Ihave known Mr. Monk sinee 1833; I can’t y that know his character; I can’t say that I have (him spoken of for the last ten years, one way or other; I have no knowledge of his associates. Q.—What was bis character ten years ago? —Attimt time I have heard his character spoken of, in favor of it and against it; all T know about him grew out of reports concerning particular pucuniary transac- ions, and from people who ha’ personal feelings in the matter; that is all I know against him ; ethers I heard rgek in his favor who had no transactions with him: this was ten or twelve years ago; the balance of opinion, in my mind, turned so that Fcannot say I formed a defi- nite judgment as roasts hie character, Benjamin G Hitching sworn—! knew Mr. Monk six years ago, and know him now by sight, alll know of bir character is that five or six yenrs since he was a wit- necs is some inportant suits which I waa conductin inst a party by whom I was employed as counsel: w that. time 1 yoade gome Inquiries ia reference to his character, I never associated with bim; I have not asso. ciated with his associates; I do not know that | am rr inted with his general character, in the legal mean ing of the term; I mean by it the reputation in which he eld by the community. .—What do you uO about his character?

The eame paper also learns that the Indians have been stealing horses and committing other depredations on the Sabanal. They stole eleven horses and killed five oxen, besices driving off a lot of cattle. Tho Jezan adds:— Abont the same time a government mule team from Pass, with stores for Fort Clark, on the Loa Moras, was fired upon by a party of Indians, when the two men in charge fied. The Indians took the mules and left. The citizens in the vicinity of these depredations talk of deserting the country in consequence of the frequent Indian incursions, which render the possession of life, as well as roperty very uncertain. ‘Ihe Indianola Bulletin says that Major Rabbitt is re- modelling, improving, and enlarging ‘the government warehouse in Indianola.

A Tate or Surrerinc.—A man by the name of Clark, who resided on the east shore of Little Bay de Nocquet, ten miles from any inhabitants, left his home, with a boy, in a small boat, in the month of November, for Flat Rock river, for the purpose of | obtaining provisions fer his family. About two weeks after, Mr. Sinclair, proprietor of the mills at the lat- ter place, discovered a boat which had floated ashore near the mouth of the river, which he recognized as having belonged to Mr. Clark. Suspecting that the owner had been drowned, he immediately repaired to Mr. Clark's dwelling and on his arrival there found his worst fears realized. The man and boy had not been heard of since they left, and during the time Mrs. Clark had given birth to an infant. Allshe and one or two small children had had to subsist on was a few potatoes, which the latter had dug from a garden where a small quantity had been raised the summer before. They were almost famished when Mr. Sinclair arrived at their dwelling, and but for his timely discovery of the boat would have starved to death. He kindly took them to his residence, fed and clothed them, and has supplied their wants to the present time. Mr. Clark was engaged in getting out lumber: and though there were families ten miles from his residence, they could not be reached by land in consequence of impassable Teen i inter- vening. Neither of the bodies have been found.— Green Bay Advocate, March 1.

On Monday morning the estate was divided between the heirs at law, and almost at the same moment John Aspden fell dead, at a tavern in Carter's alley, of disease of the heart, supposed to have been induced beg disappointment and morti- fication.
