THE. TRIAL OF DR. GARDNER, Gu an Indictment for False Sweartng, in order 0 Precare an Award from the late Mexiean Board of Commalasioners. (From the Washington Republic, March 16.)

This memorial setit forth. lt was said, on | the other side, that all the rest of the papers filed by Gardner were forged. We will prove to you, gentle- men, that there was not a paper in the case but what was proved and verified, and authenticated by the Mexican minister in this city. There was a | paper verified and certified to by the alcalde of the | istrict of Rio Verde, attested by the prefect, with the seal of the prefecture, and authenticated by the Mexican minister in this city. Every paper filed by Dr. Gardner in support of his claim was verified and authenticated in conformity to the forms of law, and the regulations required and established by the Board of Commissioners, and was genuine in ‘every particular, as we will show and prove. Every signa- ture to the papers, and every attestation thereto, from the elerk in the alcalde’s office up to the signa- ture of the Mexican minister in this city, was genuine. When in Mexico his books and op were seized by his creditors upon his expulsion from the mines were deposited in the office of the pre- fecture of that district. An authenticated copy of those books was filed by Dr. Gardner, and the copy is verified and authenticated to be a true copy of those in his offiee by the alcalde of the district, with all the forms of law. We will come to the proof of all this by and by. Mr. May keeps up a commentary on my remarks as! go along. Mr. May—My commentary was simply a smile, and you did the same yesterday while I was speak- | ing. | Sir. Bradley—If I did so I was not aware of it. In Mexico the papers and books ofa debtor are seized and deposited with the prefect of the district to which he belongs; no warrant is necessary for this pur By law copies of these papers and books, when authenticated by the prefect, are evidence. The commissioners had this evidence—the books thus verified by the local officers, and authenticated by the Mexican minister in the United States—be- fore them at the time of deciding upon this claim. But they were not satisfied with this—they did not stop here. One of the commissioners went in person to the Mexican minister to ascertain if the verifica- tions were correct. The commissioners did not even stop here. They brought the defendant before them, and proposed to examine him on his claim. His counsel objected to this proceeding, stating that he was present there by counsel, and should be | of Commissioners, apppointed by Congress to investi- Ee the claims of American citizens against the | lexioan government, protected by the treaty of | Guadalupe Hidalgo, announced an award in favor | of Dr. George A. Gardner in the large sum of $428,750, to be paid on the 15th of May. The claimant was in this city, and, Iam happy to say, was known and esteemed by many of you. He re- | mained here and received from the treasury of the | United States payment of the award. He did not | withdraw it from the treasury the moment the day | arrived, bat allowed itto remain until the time which | best suited his convenieuce ; and he himself re- | mained here avithout disguise, invested the money, | and deposited the vouchers with Messrs. Corcoran & | Riggs. He settled wita his counsel, and having | squared up all his affairs in this country, departed | for Europe. [ will not say that suspicion set against | this claim at thut time; for there is not a case in | which suspicions are not raised aginst some one. | He is a professional gentleman, educated to the medi. cal profession, accomplished as a surgeon and physi- cian. Of that, fortunately, we can give you most ‘indisputable proof ; for there are now living in the | United States, and | doubt not there are wit the sound of my voice men, who are an honor and an ornament to the country, who can speak of his professional accomplishments; and there are men now li » who are living because of his skill and care of them while they were confined in the a at Tampico—men who had been left to die by their physicians, and who, through his skill and recovered. Of this we have indubitable | in the living witnesses themselves who were wed by him. On his arrival at New York—for he still a young man, but twenty-eight or thirty of a em determined to go to pangs: to ac- | ee jimself still further in the profession to ich he had devoted himself, to acquire Bnawieaee, | nd to the fortune which he had aequired | iu the city of New York he met with some old friends, aud, among others, a gentleman who we understand is in this city.

And yet it was reported from | mouth to mouth that Dr, Gardner had got = large | treasi ing to } aed the treasury £74, of dttne'men Who \ 2 Bat I will say nothing ‘rhe man now denoumees the ease; he does not give back the money he received, but he denounces the case as an idle whisper. What then? Why, Gardner is gone to Europe, and while he is away | t up a prosecution against him for having ob- tained 6 this four hundred thousand dollars; and before the graod jury witness after witness appears to be ex- amined, and not one, or but one, of the witnesses who were examined then is here now. I charge, | then, that the government of the United States— | whatever may have beeu their motives or instrumen- talities for doing it—have instituted a prosecution EE : ; € against this defendant upon naked suspicion. I shall read to you by and by the names of those witnesses, | and bere are the same number of witnesses on the part of the United States. What next? The first that Dr. Gardner hears from America is, that | he been indicted for obtaining money by false swearing. There are no treaties existing between | the United States and Engl .od by which he could be ht back. His funds are subject to his control; he has but to draw for them, and they are forthcoming. | This inveterate schemer—fool as well aa knave— | writes immediately to the District Attorney of this district, stating that he is iuformed of the prosecution which had been instituted agaiust him, and desires What follows? i to meet it ou tie 7th of July, 1551. | are employed. A corresvondence is held | with the Preside:.t of the United States, and it is ex- | pressly stipulated and agreed that if Dr. Gardner | will return to the United States to answer to the charge of having fraudulently obtained money from | the United States, he hall be released from bail and | d to suit. And then what? Why, of course ¢ United Stutes were ready to enter into trial the Doment be came back. He appears in court, and, far from the United States being ready, the case | continued, for their benefit, antil the next term. | e next term arrives, and be is here, ready—ready | his witoe-ses, ready to try the case. The | nited States is not ready. Let me go back a little. | fo soon as the awards were declared by this commis- sion, asd it wax ascertained that there was a surplus remaining w.appropriated by those awards, that gurplus was claimed by Mexixo. By the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ‘three and a half méalions of dollars were set apurt to satisfy the claims of Amer- | ican citizens against Mexicu; it was to be full satisfaction for all claims, and Mexico, as the United States understood the treaty, was to have no | interest in it; but as the amoust of the claims did not amount to three and a half millions, Mexico, through her representative to this government, | claimed the surplis, and irom that day to this she | has claimed it, avd she and her agents and ministers have attacked this claim with the expectation of bringing it back, to be paid over to her government. | Bo soon as the awards were made by the commis- sioners, M. La Hosa, the Mexican minister in the United States, claimed the sur)iis remaining, after bese the claims, for the Mexican government, which he represented. One of the witnesses to the | ipoigtanl prtar worthy, estimable man, and whom I {| in DO wiry design to impea*h—a Mexican general in this country, claimed all the surplus and a large amount besides, It was to the interest of this wit- ness, therefore, to break uown the claim of Ur. Gard- wer. as Ht would swell the surplus which he claimed for himself. But be was forced to declare, through the newspapers, that he was mistaken about a mate- rial faot to which he bad testitied. He was not the only one. Auncther of the witne «es before the grand jury as since publicly disavowed a statement which had been impited ty him. Before | go further into the detail of the facts, I will yo buck a@ little, and see what this claim was bef re it was presented to the commissioners. He liad already adverted to the treaty: that, io consideration of other provisions, it fet apart three and a half millions to sati-fy the claims of American citizens ayainst Mexico, if they should smourt te soinu b. ‘That treaty was ratified Wilk. The st of Con cress to carry this part of he treaty into cxeeuticn wex not passed till the 3d MoMarh, ls49. in ary, 1849, Dr. Gardner fame ty the United States aid remained here for a @w monthe, and then ried to Pampico, to ob- | Biv rome proots of his aun, While here, he con- | Ited with Geers Waddy Thomp-on relative to it, din March, 14°, Thoinpon prepared the draft * which contains the recital of this as it was allowed by the | jovers. ‘That claim was stop to notice the re- | Hew lar Board of Mexicana Com for $330,000. 1 will n marke made upon his tating ois lam at one time to be sixty thoveund, at avotier cig vty thousand, &c., hat content my cif hy showing that the time the cralt of bis pelition waa fit prepared by General ‘Luompson, it was for the same amount which was | stroye heard by counsel. Dr. Gardner, however, said, “ Let them examine me; if they are not satisfied with the proof, I can indicate to them where the proof can be found.” He was then examined and cross-examined for three hours by the commissioners on the claim. We hear nothing of all these facts in the statement of the case made by the prosecution. | I desire, however, to state them, and to say we will prove them, and will prove that this defendant, from the very commencement of the claim down to this hour, has done everything, and has given to the government every cpportaniay to prove the truth and justice of the claim. It was said that there was no proof of title to the mine, and that what was offered was fabricated; but we will prove to the satisfaction of the jury, by the commissioners themselves, that the claim had been allowed before this paper containing the evidence of title to the mine on which this case rested was filed before them. To understand the matter correctly, it will be necessary to go back somewhat in the histo of events. The people of that region raised a rebel- lion against the government of Mexico, they issued | their pronunciamento or proclamation ; they offered to General Scott to place themselves under his com- | mand against Mexico; they are not Mexicans, but Indians or mixed breed. The insurrection extended, | and the village of Laguinillas, in San Luis Potosi, containing — inhabitants, was captured by them. | They then continued their march, and took posses- sion of the Rio Verde, the natn of that State; they | not only took possession of the district, but they de- all the public records in the public offi- ces; they destroyed the records of deeds for that district. This was in 1849. The insurgents | held possession of the place for two years. At the very time when Dr. Gardner left the United States to go to Mexico to obtain his proof, he found it im- | possible for him to go to that place in consequence | of the disturbed state of public affairs. He went to Brownsville, in Texas, and from there sent by a known hand to a friend of his in the district of Rio Verde a memorandum of’ what additional proof he desired, and which had been suggested by his counsel. He went to other 8, and obtained some depdsitions, and while so engaged was attacked and | wounded nearly to the death. He remained there until he received the rs, which were sent tohim by the Governor of, rerde, and which were deli; | VOrcd ov tae wy oe UUrermve ve ate a { papers, every one of them, were authenticated under seal by the American Consul at Monterey; and yet we hear now that these very Serer, certified to under the seal of the American Consul at Monterey, | were fabricated and forged in the city of Washing- ton. We will prove that the certificate and seal of | the Consul are genuine, and that the whole papers | are authenticated and verified in due form of law. | We will ab that they were delivered by the Go- vernor of New Leon to Dr. Gardner as papers re- ceived from the Governor of San Luis Potosi, and that the certificate and seal of the American Consul | there are genuine and true. | Mr. Bradley said he would now like to have pro- | duced all the papers in this case which were before | the commissioners, and to which the defence had been denied all opportunity of examining. After a short interval, the rs being produced, he re- | sumed:—The counsel for the United States who ad- | dreseed the Court yesterday had pronounced the | whole of the testimony in support of the claim as | false and fabricated, and as prepared and forged by | persons who were ignorant, not only of the topo- | graphy of the country, but of the laws of Mexic' and he stated, with great confidence, that the Pa a ticular evidence obtained by Gardner from Rio | Verde, transmitted by the Governor of Potosi to the | Governor of New Leon, and by the latter delivered to him, which had been certified to under seal by the American Consul at Monterey, was fabricated in this | city. If the gentleman's confidence in the whole case had no better foundation than it had in this in- | stance, it was not difficult to foresee what would be the result of this case, for we will prove they | were fabricated at the proper place, and at the | proper time, and by the proper persons, in the pro- per mode, and that all the seals and certificates attached tothem are genuine and true. I have not | | seen these papers till to-day, with the exception of a few minutes, while before the Senate committee; and I am assured, and will prove by witnesses, that | every paper filed before that commission, in the | claim of Dr. Gardner, was authenticated in due form of law, and inthe manner required by the rules of | the Board of Commissioners; and that such authen- | tications are genuine, original, and true; and that the commission, composed of gentlemen of learning, ability, and integrity, could not have passed the | claim, after a cross-examination of Gardner for three hours, with all the papers before them, unless the authentications were genuine and true. They were not ay authenticated and verified by the officers whose duty it was to do so in Mexico, but by the Mexican minister in this country—De la Rosa. The counsel on the other side had called particular atten- | tion to dates, and said that in his memorial Doctor Gardner declared he commenced operations in June, 1544, and in his evidence of title he said he dia- covered the mine July 12, 1844, and called particu. lar attention to the inconsistency. It was no dis- paragement of the jury to say that the commission- | ers who had the whole case, the papers, and the testimony before them, were as competent, and had as full opportunities as this jury will haveto examine and decide on the truth or falsity of these papers and evidence. This very fact, which the learned counsel thinks such an enormous inconsistency, was before oe commissioners, and was adjadicated upon by them. Mr. May suggested that, in the opening of the case by the counsel, it was somewhiat out of place to enter into an argument upon the facts andthe mer- its of the case, none of which had yet been disclos- ed by evidence to the jury. Mr. Bradley replied that the opening statement on the other side had taken so wide a range, that it was necessary he should go more into detail of the facts and evidence of the defence, than he would other: wise have clone. The Court suid that an argument on the merits of the case was not proper at this time, but ina state- ment of fa winsel must be allowed to show their connection ith the other; otherwise their force ce « not be understood. _Mr. Bradley said that had the counsel for th United States confined himself to tarrativeyof the evidence of the case, he would not have | aid one word by way of opening till she prosecu- tion had closed its case; but the learned and elo- qnent counsel went far beyond the line generaly followed in such matters and throughout his remarks made an impassioned, eloquent appeal to the jary upen the merits of the case as he presented it, ¢ Mr. May eaid if he had done 40 he was not con ecious of it. Mr. Bradley said he thought at the time the gen tleman was pot conscious of it. The gentleman commenced by telling the iny he would say nothing to arouse their passions, excite their feelings, or cro- ete prejudices in their minds, but would confine him- \ | as sey shongtt, if Dr. Gardner's claim were thrown e | without any authority or direction to do so from jae | President, and under which Dr. Gardner volan' aly | was said in the opening { eonRee | 80, to strike out that part of the proposal which re- | intended to examine some witnesses in the Mayor's | tives, about the same time, apy | the Senate also appointed a like committee. Neen remem a made that it bad no reference to this case. The Court that it was nevertheless the fact that such remarks were made. repared to do, from ooking at the names on the ist ‘of witnesses for the United States. But the evi- dence will disclose to the jury the fact that the Lg te of two nations have united to crush this defendant. When this prosecution was first commenced we were ready for trial and the Govern- ment was not. It was pro) to senda commis- sion out to Mexico; we did not desire to wait for it, but at that time witnesses were on their way to this place to testify in behalf of Dr. Gardner; they, how- ever, were intercepted on their way here by the Mex- ican authorities, and preyented coming here, on the ground that Mexico claimed whatever surplus there might be of this three and a half millions, and it was not the duty or place of any good citizen of Mexico to do anything which might defeatthat claim or lessen the amount which it would be swelled to, out. Got some proof, however, and were ao for trial. e United States were not prepared. ‘The case went over to the next term. ering all this time the defendant had been Sancho the door of the Government and demanding to be tried. When this indictment was found, Dr. Gardner was in Europe. There was no extradition treaty un- der which he could be Le here (or trial, or an; way to get him here except by his voluntary act. He addrested a letter to the Distfict Attorney of this DAR STONE his willingness to commence for trial if any cl was made against him.* Before bis ‘arrival here, Mr. Carlisle, his counsel, Dr. Gardner, but acting.under a gense of justice, and of what was eminently proper sind just, had an interview with the President of the United States, to obtain his guarantee that when Dr. Gardner returned to this country and gave himself up for trial, he would release so much of his funds which were taken by the government as would indemnify his hail. The President, Mr. Fillmore, than whom a pt or more upright man never filled that chair, acceded to the request, he seeing nothing in it but what was fair and proper. The government then got up a new charge against Dr. Gardner, and on his arrival he was placed in jail, and bail to the amount of one hundred thou- sand dollars was demanded, but which the sense of joie of this court reduced afterwards to $20 000. | guarantee made by the President the government nd the defendant was answered, ‘tion for a release of so much of | his money as was necessary to dates his bail, by | a chief clerk in the State Department, that although | that Sra genont might have been all very right and proper at first, when it was presumable he was inno- cent, it was not so now, when new charges were made against him, and he was persumed to be guilty; the tables were turned, and the guarantee refused to carry out; when he made appli surrendered himself for trial, could not be cai out. This chief clerk of the State Department, (W. Hunter,) in a letter to Mr. Carlisle, seiner the release of this money to indemnify the bail, says that no matter how good the arrangement was as for the first indictment, now that Dr. Gardner is in the custody of the law, and is guilty,as he hasa | right to presume, from the new indictment, that he | is, until the contrary appears, the arrangement can- not extend to the new case. The intention on the art of the government was to foree Gardner into jail, and to keep him there, by depriving him of the means of gett bail. But he got bail, notwith- | standing. Mr. Fillmore was not to blame; he was honorable, upright, and manly; no one could sus- | pect him of improper motives. There were others, | and other influences, however, at work. An elec- | tion was g on; there had been a (alphin claim, | and it was for some unknown pi that this pro- ceeding took place, and the distinct guarantee of | the President was withhe!) from Dr. (sardner. It. ase by the prosecu- ered every facility of 4g out to the government eo there the mines, ai | that he refused to avail himself of them. before it was proposed that the Senate committee shou!d send out a commission, we to the President of the United States, in behalf of Dr. Gardner, that a commissioner or Ese spent should be appointed by the Prosident oy eure ceees sence special agen sucl as shor ap- proved by the defendant or his counsel, and who, when 20 appointed and approved, should have the du- ties and powers in the premises which were specified. He should proceed, in company with the défend- ant, or such other person acquainted with the locali- | ties as might be designated by the defendant, to the place where the defendant's mines were located, or alleged to be, and should there personally investi- gate and ascertain whether such mines existed and tion, that Dr. Gardner w Mexico and poin were the Property of the defe it, and whether he such agent should” "be instracted “that fi, < ‘upon such examination it should manifestly appear that in fact the defendant had such mines and was expelled | therefrom as alleged, he should so certify in dupli- cate—one of which certificates should be by him de- livered to the President of the United States, and the other tothe defendant. And in such case no testi- mony should be taken, but the prosecution should be dismissed, and the funds detained should be released | by order of the President. But if upon such investi- gation it shall not manifestly ap) that the defen- dant had in fact such mines, and was expelled there- from as alleged, then the commissioner aforesaid shall proceed to take the testimony of wituesses in the presence of the defendant, or his agent, or upon reasonable notice to him, who shall have opportunity to cross-examine all such witnesses, and to adduce such witnessess on his behalf at reasonable times and places, with like Ghd rent of cross-examination on the part of the United States. And all such tes- timony thall be taken before some judicial officer competent to administer oaths and according to the law of the place, and together with such record and documentary evidence, certified according to the law of the place, as either party may think proper to procure, and all the records and files of the late Board of Commissioners in relation to the olaim of the said Gardner, shall be admitted and received as evidence on the trial of this prosecution in like man- ner, and to the same effect, as if the same facts were testified to, viva voee, by the witnesses themselves before the jnry. This perenne was not to affect the right of either party to adduce other testimony which may be Gage eres on the trial, nor to affect any other legal right whatsoever, of either party, except as was therein expreasly waived. Mr. Bradley said that this sibitog orld contained lo the most unusual offer of evidence to be taken by deposition, to be used inst a party in the trial of @ criminal charge. The offer did not stop here; when it was laid before the President, the counsel of Dr. Gardner agreed, if required to do ferred to the defendant being allowed to adduce wit- nesses before this agent or commissioner in his be- half. The President was satisfied with it; he said he considered it a very fair proposition; but as he did not wish to interfere with the matter by taking it out of the hands of the District Attorney, he would refer it to that officer. The matter was re- ferred to the District Attorney, and for some reason | that gentleman refused it without even giving any | expression of any reason for so doing. The defence was shortly after notified that the United States | office in the City Hall.

The defence went on, under the notice, to take testi- | mony in the City Hall, and had got through with | the evidence of one Barrigan, a Camanche; and at the moment when Dr. Garduer’s counsel were busy * The following is a copy of this letter — Loxpon, July 17, 1851, Dear Sir—The New York Wrexty Henan of the 6th | instant contains a report extremely offensive to me, and of a delicate nature. involving honor and character—the mainspringe of a gentleman’s existence.

He was then—on the 27th of Au, told to hold himself in readiness. was prepared to go at any time. The 15th of Sg wpe was named as the day for the departure of the commission. All this was in writ- ing, and would be produced. The criminal court was to meet on the first Monday in December, and Gardner received notice from the United States that the government did not recognise the action of the committee of the Senate in sending out a commission to Mexico, or of Gardner accompanying it, and that if he goes he gocs on his own responsibility; that the United States will expect him to be here on the first Monday in December for his trial. Owing to the great confusion and conversation near the reporter's table, he was unable to hear much of what Mr. B. said further on this t, but thinks the substance of it was, that Dr. Gardner lingered here till the 6th of October, without hearing anything further from the Senate committee, when he wassummoned before it; that he was then told that the commissioners were sponte, but who they were were not named to him; that he said if A, B, or C, be appointed on the commission, they have made up their minds on the case, have formed opinions upon it, and have expres- ed judgments against him; and as they would not be impartial men, he would not go with the commis- sion. The chairman of the committee, (Mr. Soulé,) took this as a refusal to go, and rebukes him as for presuming to interfere with the nomination of a commission to be appointed by the committee of the Senate. It ought not to have been expected by any | gentleman that Dr. Gardner could have gone with a commission on which were men who had fixed opin- ions and judgments Gis him. It was said by the counsel who opened the case, that Dr. Gardner's acts were conducted with great diplomacy; they were all done by the advice of his counsel, who were rather more straight-forward, plain-dealing men, than di- | plomatists. Dr. Gardner received a letter from the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, directing the collector of customs at New Orleans to place one of the revenue vessels at the service of Dr. Gardner, to enable him to reach Mexico, the commission havin; | gone by another conveyance; and on his arriv: there, a letter dated the day after this one, was re- ceived, countermanding the order, refusing him this privilege, and telling him that he should not go out of the United States in any government vessel; the United States, it seems, having derived the idea that if they enabled him to leave the United States, they ‘would in some way or another release his bail. He was thus denied a privilege and a facility of reaching Mexico with the commis- sion, which had been offered to him, and was then forced, either to remain in the United States, or go with such means as he could command. In that hour Doctor Gardner found friends. Though | charged with crime, though denounced in crery form, and oppressed by his own government, he had friends—friends who had stood by him through- out, who stand by him still, and who have deep con- yictions of his entire innocence, of his honor and in- to prove it. Two of these friends resolved to aid Gardner, and to accom him to Mexico. The commissioners appoin' by | the Senate, with the means furnished them by the government, had gone off with sying colare, After considerable difficulty, Gardner and two friends reached Tampico,and there they found a man who had silver—not the coin of the government, but sil- ver obtained from the mine of Doctor Gardner, with his stamp and marks upon it. They then left for the mines, and they reached the e of ini before the Senate commission, who had taken an- other route. On the arrival of Dr. Gardner with his friends at the very confines of San Luis Potosi, he ‘was met by a peremptory order from the Mexican authorities, that Doctor Gardner and his friends should not be permitted to enter that territory, and | that if they were there already, they should have to .. depart. This order was served on Dr. Gardner in half an hour after his arrival at os of the order would be shown to thejary in the trial. was necessary to confirm the fact that the action of the two governments was Sena lpr not only to assist and promote the prosecution of Dr. Garener, but also to prevent his procuring evidence in his behalf, this circumstance fully demonstrated it. The two friends of Dr. Gardner next day went into the office containing the records of Laguinillas, and there they found on record the deed to wore A. Gardner of this very mine. The history of the preservation of that deed was remarkable. It was among the peste at ae time when § the sown re mae rae. ai Bite ced and some ‘other papers were secured by the alcalde, who buried it in his ; own yard, and refused to deliver it up, though they tied him to a tree, and his son was slaughtered be- fore his eyes, in the endeavor to force him to tell where the records were buried. They tooka copy of the original deed, and it will be presented to the jury. These two gentlemen, as they came out of the re- corder’s office, asked for a guide to show them where the mine was that was described in that deed. A ide was furnished, and they started to the place. n the route they heard a voice exclaim, ‘Ma, here is Dr. Gardner;” and one of the party, astonished, asked if the people of that country spoke English. On inguiring, the remark was found to have been made by a yoons wontsn whom they saw entering a house, and who the daughter of a Scotch woman, who had married a Spaniard, and who were all ac- quainted with Dr. Gardner. ‘They roceeded to the mines described in the deed to Dr. Gardner, and one of them went down by a ladder into a mine to a great depth, and as far as prudence would permit; they then threw stones into them, and from the sound of the falling stones they judged its depth to be several hundred feet. They visited all three of the mines said to be Dr. Gardner's. They then returned to ee, where two of the —Dr. Gardner and one of his friends—were taken very ill, aud re- mained so for some time. This was on a Monday. The commissioners appointed by the Senate arrived there on Tuesday. A notice or advertisement was stuck up them offering a reward of fine hundred dol- lars to any one who would show the mino of Dr. Gardner. Mr. B. then stated the substance of the pith atergess and of the correspondence which fol- lowed. Mr. May asked if the gentleman had the papers in court. Mr. Bradley said he had, and would read them now, if desired. Mr. May said they might be read. Mr. Bradley then read the following :— TRANSLATION OF A PLACARD POSTED IN THR PUB LIC PLACES OF THE TOWN OF LAGUINILLAS, MEXICO, ENTITLED “ AVIFO AL PUBLICO.” The subscriber offers a reward of $500 to the person who may give him exact and circumstantial information in regard to the silver mine and refinery which, it is said, belonged to Dr. George A.

U. 8, Commusioxan’s Courr.—Wm. Hinckle, captain of the schooner Rachael P. Brown, was examine] on Tues- day, before J. T. Francis, Eeq., U. 8. Commissioner, upon the charge of concerned in the slave trade ou the const of Africa, the evidence of Win. Rilley, mate of the schoone:, we get the following particulara:—He shipped in New York, on the 7th of December last, for a voyage to the west coast of Africa. In due season he went on board, where he found most of the cargo already stowed, and @ shipkeeper and stevedore receiving and sowing the balance. When the cargo was all. on board the schooner was dropped down off the Battery, he being then in charge. Here, and while the captain was ashore, five passengers came on boar’—three Spaniards, one Portuguese, and a negro, who acted in the capacity of servant. The captain, however, son came on board, and they proceeded to soa. Soon after getting eut he dis- covered the passengers and the captain in frequent con- yersation in the Spanish language, which he did not un- derstand: he also discovered that they exercised conslder- able influence over the captain, giving him directions about working the vessel, &c. ; this he was enabled to un- derstand by their gestures and movements; and one of the men, who could understand the language, heard one of the passengers cautioning the others about speaking in presence of the crew. This, with other movements, aroused his suspicions that all was not right, and that the veesel was bound on an unlawful voyage. One of the Passengers, he was told by the negro, was an old sea captain. He (the mate) was never consulted about the working of the vessel, aa had been done while serving as mate on board of other veusels; and, altogether, he thought the conduct of the captain and passengers ex- ceedingly suspicious. From the evidence of Lieut. Sinclair and Midshipman Harrison, we get the following additional items:—On the 20th of January, while Lieut. Siuclair and Capt. Nicholas were walking the poop of the Germantown, then at anchor in Port a, the schooner 'R. P. Brown hove in sight; after standing infor the harbor, she kept off and run out again. This manwuvre excited the suspicions of Captain N. She soon, however, hauled her wind, came into the hi bor, and anchored. She then being in a Portugue: port was under their authority, and, of course, the American officers) could do nothing: The authorities on shore not liking the appearance of the schooner, commu- nicated their suspicions to Capt Nicholas, with the re- Accord: board, consisting of offi- In the course of their ingly, a commission was sent on cers of the United States navy examination they found a large quantity of rice, and other provi ions; planks and seantling sufficient to make a slave feck; bricks and lime suficlent for ‘furnace, such as are generally us avers; twogalleys; a large quantity wider, Are-arms, &o.; ram, empty denaljonna ‘buckets, ¢.; a portion of an ‘American naval officer's uniform; sufficient and suitable for a Spanish flag; « large amount of money, and the papers of the vessel. From the register of the vessel it appeared that she had been mortgaged to one Don Jose Percenas, or Perez, who proved to be one of the passengers, and a ‘consignee of part of the cargo; his name was found in letters and other papers, directed both ways. Another of the passengers was a Ha vana pilot, and several of them proved to be nautical men, and were supplied with instruments. On a chart, foun in the trunk of one of them, a course from the ooast of Africa to Havana was accurately marked out. The schooner was supplied with two suits of sails, one of which was unusually light and very large. Lieut. Sin- clair is of opinion that it was their intention, had they succeeded in getting a caygo of slaves on board, and been overbauled by a vessel of war of any other nation, one of them would put on the American uniform and pase im, self off as an American officer in charge of a prize, and if spoken by an American, would have shown the Spanirh fig: Midshipman Harrison had been on board » slavery and testified that this vessel was fitted out in every re- spect similar to her.

Nothing at Toledo. Nota cargo of grain there. There may be consideral:e in Ohio to come out this spring, but it is yet in farmers’ hands. Un- Jess there is considerable from Ohio, receipts of wheat and flour must be light fore part of the season.” ~ FINABCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Sunpay, March 20—6 P. M. The state of the market continues to exhibit the strongest symptoms of a movement towards a general panic—the banks are, in many instances, seeking assistance by the most extraordinary negotiations to raise the means of keeping themselves from becom- ing dishonored in their exchanges. This cunnot last long; and should misfortune attend any of their cus- tomers, the ball will be then sct in motion, against which there will be great difficulty to resist, and could not be done unless we should receive foreign aid. It is, however, not possible to look forward to such assistance; but, on the contrary, from our late accounts, we have reason to anticipate that large amounts of manufactured goods will be sent to thiS country to be sold at auction, to relieve home ope- rators. This has been the course of besiness when- ever the monetary affairs of the world have culini- nated toa point of reaction. There have been no remittances yet made on account of the immense imports; our merchants have not been in » situation to do 80; but the time must come, when pay day will either cause bankruptcies, or specie will be ex” ported toan extrxt which will not fail to create further emburrassinent among the banss, Every arrival brings to vs information of the decline of our staple articles; ard every reduction of their market value abroad must take from our credits; and thus, unless we can send forward additional loads of railrood bonds, we shall, of necessity, besome largely indebted. It is said that exchange rules be- low the ranges at which specie can be shipped; buat it is equally true that the same cause which prevents specie from yelng exported operates to keep down the price of exchange. If our importing merchants cannot get their billy receivable discounted exvopt upon the most ruinous terms, they neither purchae exchange nor make their remittances in speoie. This state of commercial irregularity cannot last long; our merchants will not be permitted to save tinmselves without some sacrifices, when their creditors are wuf- fering the risk of bankruptey in Barope. To badi- pess nen this case, as we have stated, needs no com: ment ; its truth they cannot fail to recognise, and the sooner the banks appreciated the impendiaz pit | Gity Hoa od wells L lard ‘accumulation of difficulty, the more serious will their endeavors to prepare for the crisis. r ‘The London market presents not the signs of a favorable change; but, on the contra there seems to have been a reaction, very likely end in a further stringenoy in the policy of the B of England; and we should, therefore, not be prised to learn that the rate of interest had been terially advanced. ‘The well placed censures which have appeared the Railroad Journal have already had their is ence with the foreign holders of Erie R steck; and such has been the annoyance tothe culators for a rise, that they now circulate reports &@ desire that the Journal should be suppressed. this rumor be true, then we predict that the o tion of that ‘Wble paper will inorease, much to advantage of the publishers, The letter of M Loder, President of the company, which he has b forced to write for the purpose of explaining falee position in which he has been placed, is wl versally pronounced one of the most wishy-wash, miserable evasions, that has ever been offered to tli publio inspection. It is an admission of every charg and in order to get rid of the responsibility of a d crepancy of $11,000,000, between the receipts b the sale of stocks and bonds and the expenditure he attempts to show that the company has been loser by the defalcation, inasmuch as the,p perty of the company has improved now the road has reached Lake Irie. The flood of Eastern bank notes which has apre over the whole West will be sent back, to the gre distress of the parties who have put them in ofrey lation; and, as they will be purchased at a disooun' they will of course be esteemed a better and mo convenient mode of remittance than specie, oons¢ quently there remaina but little prospect that an portion of the large amount will reach us soon in th market, the more especially as the balance of is running against the Atlantic ports, through nereasing quantity and value of the agricultural pro ducte of rural regions.
