United States District Court. IMPORTANT PRESENTMENT AGAINST THE BONDED WAREILOUSE. ‘The Grand Inquest of the United States for the South. wrn district of New York have terminated their labors, after finding forty-two presentments, amongst which was foll parece late fire, the attention of the Grand In- quest was called to the United States Bonded Warehouse, in the city of New York, consisting of five stores, with arches through the partition walls, and, hay- mumerous ‘a desire to promote the public good, did accordingly visit and examine the same throughout, and the result of paid examination is as follows:— . First—That in the erection of such buildings great care Bhould be taken, and ns near as possible they should be fireproof. The buildings referred to are not of that ‘order, consequently not caleulated to inspire confidence and ensure to the fullest extent that security desirable and due to the owners of merchandise deposited therein, The arches, which are numerous, are open at all times. ‘and in case of fire in part of the buildings it would de instantly commurizated to the several departments by the great current of air passing through said arches and other places of passag Second—The Grand Inquest would recommend iron Moors in the several arches, and in all other pas: ways throughout the buildings, that the same may be closed at leasure, and especially at night, and in case of fire, there- By the flaines may be cenhnal 86 tee'place in which they wriginated, which would enable the firemen to labor not more effectually, but with greater safety to them pelves. The ceilings’ being of wood, should be covered mith sino, or some other kind of metal impervious to fire. Third—That the shelving and other places of deposit Yor public documents, should be of iron, and properly ‘encased with the same, which would not only preserve Buch documents, but secure from the flames a great amount of combustible material, which, when once ig- ited cannot be easily extinguished. Fourth—A portion of the heating or wearing appara- dus, (the receptacle,) is within about three inches of the ceiling, which is wood, and the safety of the buil’ ing and contents must, in a great measure, depend pon the amount of heat produced, which no doubt va- according to the heat of the weather. It is not ab- polutely certain that the heat contained in said recepta- cle, as a general thing. would be sufficient to fire the buildings; but it is believed that the great amount of property to be protected should be i ced beyond the Feach of hazard; by covering the ceiling immediately ever the recoptaclo with zine, the danger would be re- moved, and at « trifling cost. Fifth—Water pipes should be extended to each and every part of the buildings, so that in the buildings, with a supply of hose, and in the event of fire being discovered, an ordinary watchman could extinguish the zame before damage to any extent was done. With the improvements herein inted out, the United States Bonded Warehouses would, in some degree, be worthy the name they bear. 7 ‘This presentment was signed by seventeen members 0: the Grand Jury. The foreman did not subscribe to it. INDICTMENTS FOR FORGERY. ‘The Grand Jury also found bills of indictment againt J.

Arai. 5.—Samuel Mors pleaded guilty to an indictment, under the statute, for winning, &., more than $25, and zentence was deferred. It appears, by tho complaint of Samuel Cohen, that they were. on the 22d of February, laying “bluff ” in a house in Chatham street, and that ¢ defendant won $45 from him; and he, the complainant, then borrowed $55 on a gold watch, which sum followed in the same course, thus leaving him, within the space -of an hour, minus $100. He ‘does not remember’’ the number of the honse. Have our police any idea of the locality? Is it any one’s business te inquire. ANOTHER PLEA OF GUILTY, AND SENTENCE. Maria Gorman. alias Casey, indicted for robbing a countryman of $50, in a house on the corner of Leonard and Orange streets, on the 23d of March last, pleaded guilty of petit larceny, and, as only $24 had been found pon her, the Court, with the consent of the Assistant riet Attorney, accepted the plea, and sentenced her to the penitentiary for four months. ‘A case. which was expected to occupy all day, went ‘off, and there being nothing else prepared, the Court ad- journed. Several prison cases will be ready for trial this morning. Seenes in the Special Sessions. Before Judge Beebe and Aldermen Brisley and Smith, Aprit 5.—Despatch of Business.—Whatever may be the Inconyenience of this court, as at present constituted, It is tree from one evil common to most others—there are no grounds to complain of the law’s delay. The calendar this morning, for inatance, contained the names of thirty-six prisoners—twenty-two charged with assault and battery and fourteen with petit larceny—and within the space ‘of an hour all were disposed of, Seventeen were tried and convicted, seven discharged, five pleaded ‘ity, and one acquitted. The remaining six stood over for different reasons, Vow presented any teatures of in terest, being of the orcinary description. No A ing for Tastes— Which was Most to Blame ?— John Gosden, who, with great candor and magnanimity, ‘Rescribed himself’ as “a Dutchman,” appeared as an jealene complainant against his charmer, Miza Hamil- ton, a Hottentot Venus, as black as ebony, and weighing at Yeast two hundred weight, who was alleged, on the «evening of the 2d, to have, in a traitorous manner, ex- tracted two ten dollar gold pieces from his pantaloons. “On being called upon for his story, he said he did not wish to prosecute ; and that he had been drinking some ‘yine,”” and could not tell any particulars about the -evening in question. The Court appearee to think, too, they were scarcely worth the attention of the recording angel, and refrained from pressing him on the subject; moreover, being in great doubt asto which of the two was most’ to blamo, and unable to convict both, they auspen¢ed judgment and released the nymph, “What sina Name ”'—A very ordinaty ooking spect- men of humanity, rejoicing in the chivalrous patronymic of “De Courey,"” was charged, by Mr. James W. Nash, with an ascault of the most ‘cowardly and unprovoked wature. By the evidence of the complainant, who is a gentlemen of respectability, it aj that ebout dusk yon the evening of the 2d, as he was walking in Broadway, he met the , who, without the slightest reason or provicat! struck him a violent blow on the face, nearly knocking him down, and causing a painful and severe contusion. Tho gallant De Courcy did not deny the fact, but pleaded he had been drinki m The Judge, nome very strong remarks on the rubject of these street assaults, and the unprovoked nature of this one, fined him ten dollars; and our reporter left kim in durance awaiting the required ransom, | but, unfortunately, the affair THE SLAVE TRADE. weer Our Cuban Havana, March 29, 1853. Progress of the Slave Trade—The Case of the Kidnapped Negress, Plassy Lawrence—Don Martin Galiano’s Article in La Cronica—Open and Flagitious Slave-dealing— Vice President King—The Political Secretary Going to Eng- land—Sham Activity and Make believe Arrests, dc. For very many years the slave trade has been quietly progressing in this island, without attracting much no tice in the public journals, so that the world in genera; know very little as to what a thriving state that horrible traffic has arrived at in Cuba. Consequently, all the Cap- tain Generals, &c., with but one or two exceptions, have been allowed to go on winking at the profligate slave traders, and pocketing the two or three ounces of gold for each negro so introduced from the coast of Africa. Since, however, we have commenced faithfully to report all cases of this class of contraband to your widely-spread journal, so great {s the clamor and fear which has been created among the speculators and officials, as well as dealers, that they have well nigh been driven to despera- tion, and to abandon the trade; so that, if by this means we eventually succeed in abolishing it, we shall certainly set up our claims before the British gover as the most philanthropic in this sort of business, for &hand- some reward, in compensation for the zoal we have dis- played in seconding their efforts to put an énd to the horrible African slave trade, which hitherto has been so boldly upheld and carried on with the connivance of the Spanish authorities in Cuba. Upon the arrival here of the Crescent City, on the 18th inst., Havana was inundated with s little petty paper published in New York, called La Cronica. Inevor heard of it till I came here, although a New Yorker bred and born, It was dated the 12th of March, and contained a long, rambling, rigmarole story, which, however, was found to be so good, by the authorities, that it was re produced, under the sanction of General Canedo, in the Diario dela Marina, of this city, on the 22d instant. I must beg to call your especial attention to the article in question, which, all here concur in the opinion, was writ- ten by the pelitical secretary, Don Martin Galiano, and sent by him to be published in La Cronica, at New York. It pretends to enter into the details of the case of the English negréas, Pasay Lawrence, who, you will remember to have seen stated in the newspapers, was kidnapped from the island of Nevis, and cruelly treated for many years, as a slave, at Havana, where she was illegally held by the Spanish authorities, until she finally fled for pro- tection on board the British frigate Vestal, whose gallant commander caused her to be sent back to her home, from whence she had so long been stolen. Tho diplomatist se- cretary then goes on to vilify the English consul for hay- ing bad something to do in that matter, accusing him, also, of being the author of am artiole upon the same subject, which they say appeared, some time ago, in the London Morning Post. After suddenly digressing into rather a funny squib, in which they, or rather he, (Ga- liano,) attempts to make out that nothing can be more frightful than the treatment to which the slaves are sub- jected in our Southern States, particularly in Ilinois and Alabama, where, he says, they are treated like brute beasts, and scarcely much better in the Carolinas, Mis souri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, &c., he finally launches out into unbounded praise of himself and his master, whom he calls the immaculate General Canedo. The whole document is nothing but a tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end; and that part of it in whieh he endeavors to vilify the characters of our Southern slayo owners he had much better left out, as he will probabl. learn, one of these days, to his cost.” With rogard to his assertion that Genoral Canedo persecutes incessantly the African slave traders, {t may do very well for him to sa} to in hig official despatches for the Kaglish goverument; of the Lady Suffolk—which yestel was ar ith sixteen twelve-pounders, cut- lusses, pistols, powder, balla, &@., and a crew of eighty men, towed to sea by & steamer, from the port of Havana, at a time when such was the state of appre- hension and alarm felt by these authorities about another filibustering expedition, which was then talked of, that no man could purchase even half pound of powder without leaving his address and giving a cer- tificate as to why he required it—only goes to prove that the incessant persecution of the slave traders, which Mr. Martin Galiano writes about, is most likely aftor the three ounces of gold which the Havana eouses him of having received from the slave traders, and which no doubt helped to swell the handsome fortune with which he retires to Spain, or how else could he have made it out of & paltry salary ring eighteen months, aspoliticalsecretary? Since the frst of January this year there have been upwards of four thousand slaves landed on the island of Cuba. On the very day, (the 12th of March instant,) that Mr. Galiano was publi to the world in La Cronica, at New York, the immaculate conduct of himself and Gen. Canedo, and their incessant persecution of the slavo Scrived the previous Sroaisy ai Gur Deedee ates tant arr e previous a ,.Off the port of Cardenas, with twelve bundred slaves, from Attica, was authorized by Don Manuel Hector, the Gover: nor of Cardenas, to make use of certain launches to convey said slaves to the main land. My information is from parties who were at Cardenas, and present during the whole transaction. The slave captain, a native of Mahon, and a very notorious slave trader, you will probably recollect I re to few montis back, as fitting out a large ta for the coast of Africa—that the venture was got up by a company of Cotalans at Matanzas, as soon as it was known cortainly that General Pavia, who had been dismissed by honest Concha for his connivance with the slave traders, was to be reinstated as Governor of that place, and that the slaver expected to return from the coast with fifteen hundied slaves. From what I have as yet been able to gather, it appeare that the slaver actualy did take on board his ves- sel upwards of fourteen hundred negroes, slaves, which Deen some time in baracoons, waiting the arrival of another equally notorious slave captain, who went out in the command of the Lady Suffolk, but as the latter was much overdue, the other party became the purchaser—that during the voyage from. Africa several attempts were made by the negroes to take the ship, the result of which was that a great many were killed by the crew, and very many died from sickness, generated by the overcrowded state of the vossel--that the captain and his brother, were owners of about three hundred of the slaves, and, having successfully effected the landin; of about twelve hundred, with whieh they arrived at the Cays, off Cardenas, they burned their vessel at Cays Piedra, on or about the 15th instant. All the circumstances attending this, as well as those of the disembarkation which took place at Cays Verde de Medano, near Sagua, on the 25th ultimo, are of public notoriety, forming the common topic of conversation all over the’ city, and giving the lie, as it were, to Mr. Galiano’s assertion in the Cronica as to his and General Canedo’s immaculate conduct, and their incessant perse- cution of the slave traders, who land their slaves with the most barefaced impunity, full well knowing they have nothing to dread but the British cruisers. Notwithstand- ing this, the infamous author of the article in‘La Oronica has the impudence to affirm that it is bis intention to Proceed to England, by the first direct steamer, for the purpose of endeavoring to hoodwink the British govern. ment as to the real state of the Cuban slave trade, and that he will adduce documents to prove the truth of his assertions, But the capture of no loss than four slavera in leas than two weeks by the frigate Vestal, and the noto- riety which has attended the disembarkations of the thou- sands of negroes which have been landed on the island of Cuba during the short administration of Genoral Canedo, of all which, in rot one instance, have any of the guilty parties been in any way molested or punished, will be facts in themselves too glaring for the gullibility of John Bull, and Lord Russell will hardly be expected to admit ‘the specious distortions of the truth which such a man may venture to make. Galiano has given up the idea of visiting the United States, fearing that in a free country like ours, where his virtues me so gonerally known, he runs the risk of being visited by Judge Lynch, with his tar and feathers; he therefore proceeds directly to England where it is to be hoped his deserts will not be overlooked, The slave traders and the government are at their wits end. ‘There is the devil to pay, and no mistake, and a perfect panic among the slavers, who are being arrested this moment by dozens, here, at Cardenas, and at Matan zag, all of which they, poor devils, do not understand, and you, even, will requirea little explanation There are two reasons for this sudden change of conduct on the part of the prosent government, Tho first, which we may safely arrogate to ourselves, is, that for some time past very few cases of slave trading, or disembarkation of negroes from Africa, effected on this island. have escaped the vigilance of the correspondent of the New York Hxratp, in which journal they haye been too faithfully reported to be pleasing to Gen. Canedo; but, on the contrary, filled him and his subordinates with the greatest alarm, because thore statements are carried by the Hxnatn all over the d copied into all the English newspapers. ‘The son is, that Mr. Secretary Martin Galiano, who proceeds to England by the first ‘British steamer, is do. sirous, now that he is done with the office and can make no more out of it, to convince the British government how incesrantly Gen. Canedo persecutes the slave traders: and for this purpose the unfortunate owner of a cargo of slaves recently landed at Cays Verde de Yedano, on tho 26th ult., who happened to be a Portuguese, is to be the vietim sacrificed in this instance; and some dozen or two other persons, of no note whatever, have been arrested, in order to adduce proof for Mr. Galiano, before the Bri’ tieh government, as to the sincerity of Gen. Canedo’s in- tentions with regard to the slave traders. But if they were in earnest, why did they not seize the hundred negroes or mere, brought into and sold publicly in this very harbor of Havana, about, two weeks ago—slaves stolen from the Portuguese during the confusion which gxisted when the ship got ashore at Cays Verde, and drought here by Mr. Marty's fishing smacks? And, if thoy must make a show of arresting somebody for the sati faction of the English government, why do they onl reat a lot of poor Jevile, hired in the count to look after the slaves after they have been landed? Why are the Sect Pemtadk an hase) officers, retained in their Places, who permitted, and, for consideration, winked a the landing of the slaves?’ Why not diamise thom, 4 honest Concha did Pavia, in the early part of Iast year for receiving bribes from yery man who ‘thea Janded cight hundred slaves at Cai has just put on shore from 1,100 to 1,200 more near Car- denas, most of whom are now on the estate of Esperanza, at Camarioca? i However, it isa good sign that they t t somebody.

Condition of the Whig Party and the Causes Thereof—The Rhode Island Coalitioon—The Senatorship—Governor Alln—Mr. Dorr—The Free Soil Party, its Movements Intentions and Hopes—The Congressional Nomirtations— Mr. Davis—Mr. Thurston. ‘To dhan fond of studying the morbid anatomy of po- litical parties, the condition of the whig party of Rhode Island at this time would be an instructive spectacle. With an undoubted majority of the people of the State attached to its principles, and possessing more even than its fair share of property, intelligence and ability, and its social influence far beyond that of all other parties com- bined, it is yet without political power; and at this time it would seem that to write Resurgam on ita hatchment would be to challenge a laugh when the mind should be attuned only to solemn ideas. The idea of a whig resur- rection in Rhode Island is treated rather asa joke when mentioned, and would not appear to be seriously enter- tained, except by here and there a whig possessed of an uncommonly sanguine turn of mind, and who, like Mr. Disraeli, sees ‘something looming in the future” for his party, but which is beyond the reach of ordinary human vision. Ina State once so renowned for its attachment to the conservative cause it is now difficult to get conservative candidates for State offices. Redueed as whiggery is throughout New England, it is nowhere else quite 80 low as it is in Rhode , ten years ago its very fortress. ‘After the downfall of tho suffrage party in 1842, our State fell entirely into the hands of the most ultra of the enemies of that party composed, in not far from equal Proportions, of democrats and whigs. Throughout the whole contest between the reformers and the conserva- tives the most arbitrary, unyielding and tyrannical of the latter came from the’ old Rhode Island democracy; just as many of thom now belong to the new democracy. ‘The most ferocious of Mr. Dorr’s enemies were the old Jef- fersonian and Jacksonian democrats. Consequently, when a new party was formed to prevent the people from en- joying much of the freedom nominally granted to them by the constitution just made, the feadersof it were mainly democrats, including the ferocious old Fenner—who always used to make one think of Reginald Front-de- -—and the wily Branch—men with whom the mass of the whigs felt as much at home as. collection of domestic animals, or barnyard fowls, would feel under the lead of a tiger and a fox, troubled all the time with the foar of being devoured by their chiefs. But the bigoted portion of the whigs knew the value of their services, they having really worked themselves up to the belief that Mr. Dorr and his friends, aided by the ‘“Spar‘an Band,” of New York, were bent upon having “the banks and beauty of Providence,” though the story was of their own inven- tion. The democratic leaders alone had the coursge and the energy necessary to prevent the triumph of the suf- frage men, and therefore the whigs were surrendered to them without contrel. But the very power and strength of the party that grew out of this arrangement led to a reaction, as is always the casein polit when parties forget that there is a tribunal to which they are amena- ble—that of public opinion. In three years from the time that saw the commencement of the charter party that party was completely overthrown, and as disap- Peared from our State utterly, few mea caring to own that they evor belonged to it, or bore arms in its cause, valiantly contending against shadows. This change was effected by an informal coalition between the liberal whigs and the remains of the suffrage party; and it is to the events of that time—the spring’ of 1845— that you must look if you would understand why it is that the whigs are now in so poor a condition here, ‘Then were sown the seeds of future quarrels, des- tined to render talents and position, and even money, of no account in Rhode Island politics, as againet personal rivalry and personal hate. The leaders of the charter rarty never have forgiven the men who led in the suc- cessful attack that was made on their organization, pre- ferring even the triumph of their open opponenta to tho elevation of men whom they regard as renegades. On the other hand, the liberal portion of the whig party have no desire to behold the ascendancy of mon who long, more than for anything else, to put their feet on the necks of the said liberals. A demoerat they cam bear to see ele vated to tho United States Senate; but a gallows as high as that of the late Mr. Haman would, in their ostimation, bent agree with the merits of those men who proved false (as they hold it) to the great cause of ‘aw and order" — other words, faithful to decency and heedful of com- mon sense, The events of the present campaign in Rhode Island af- ford a striking commentary on the condition of our whige., ‘Two years ago the Rhode Island “‘anti-whigs,”” e d ve that’s ie pet phrase now-adays,) suc- eeeded in formi: what in Massachusetts would be called “a ”” As in Massachusetts the enemies of the Fugitive Slave law found no difi- culty in “ fraternizing” with its friends, so bere the worst foes of Mr. Dorr clasped hands with men who had been most conspicuous in their warfare against the old charter. nominations of this new party were chiefly made from the anti-su of it;and Mr. Dorr and his frends were allowed the glorious privilege of voting for men who would have consigned them all to the gallows bad they been able—men who would have setiled all the difficulties of 1852 by an “exhibition of the Austrian cure for such things—powder and lead.” Gea- tlemen who had raised military companies to put down the charter party, and, who had themselves marelied, musket and bayonet in hand, against the camp at Che- patehet, found themselves’ suddenly transformed into leaders of the “liberal” party. Thus, at the very time when the whigs were quarreling with’ one another, the “aptl-whiga,”’ of every variety of hue and'shade of opinfon, were comng ther, exhibiting an American baisar d amourete. The alliance thus formed has worked adinirabl for the parties to it, but badly enough for the whigs. I triumphed in 1861," In 1852 it was victorious in almost al pointe; and new it promises, having the whige down, tokeep them in that dlsagrecable position, ‘The whigs call it by all manner of hard names, and certainly it is an incongruous affair. When gentleman who rushed up Acote bill to storm an empty eamp happens to meet gentleman who ran away from that camp before the enemy were in sight—the twain being associated in carry: ing on the State government—I presume the tongue of each instinctively seeks his left cheok, and the end of his right thumb becomes en rapport with the tip of his nose. But this party, however incongruous its materials, has one virtue, the presence of which in man or party is buf cient to atone for the absence of all others: it is success- ful. It has won three battles, counting the Presidential election ax one, and is apparently on the eve of winning a fourth, for the whigs are fiat. The democratic conven- tion that met here had no difficulty whatever in arranging its affairs, The whigs had prophesied trouble. There was no more trouble in it than Philip Allen would find in raising a Joan of one hundred thousand dollars, supposing that he should ever want such a thing. The democrats # along as harmoniously as the parishioners of ‘Knock- aslatio, when the * gracious Duncan," of Knockdunder, threatened to drag the first digsenter through the loch, tied tothe stern of his boat, by way of practical com: mentary on “ free speech ” Governor, members of Con- gress, all and everything, were nominated with most ex- émplary unanimity, free traders going for protectionists, and Dorr men for the most traculent of Algerines. But nothing of this spirit of fraternization was to be seen in the action of the whigs. The confusion of King Agra- manta’s eemp was a type of the condition of the Rhode Island whiga when they met to settle matters which re- main as unsettled as ever, They could not, in con- vention, even agree upon a candidate for Gover- ror, but, after nominating, successively, two gentle- men, who each refused the proffered’ honor, the formed a committee to hunt up or rum down a candi- date, who has not yet been secured, so far aul have been able to ascertain, and I have made very diligent inquiries, and kept my letter back for some da; hope of ‘being able to say something about th minee, Should the democrats succeed, and I find no one who doubts of their success, it is taken for granted that Go- vernor Allen will be chosen United States Senator. This is the place that Mr. Dorr should have, and if our demo- cracy are feally in carnest, they would insist upon his being cent to the Senate. One of them, whom I spoke toon the subject yesterda are that the question is narrowed down to one of ‘ability to elect, and as Mr. Dorr cannot be elected, and Mr, Allen can, he, though lnrgely preferring the former gentleman, shall go for the Governor, Perhaps he is right. On’ this particular question, however, I propose writing you a special let- ter, giving some account of our Senators since Rhode Inland condescended to enter tho Union—and so, for the present, I leave the subject. Although there has always been considerable abolition - ism in Rhode Island, (as, perhape, was fitting and proper in a State that used’ to make so much money in the slave trade,) free soilism has here been a plant of rlow growth. In Massachusetts, thanks to the action of the democrats, it has become a Frankenstein—a monster that is destroy: ing its creator. In Rhode Island it has been a ridiculons puppet, at the antics of which men have not even so much as smiled, But, encouraged by the distracted state of tho whigs, and perhapa not altogether without hope of directing. the senatorial election in our next Le fislature, the f:00 rollers are really “looking up” in Rhode Island. They declare that they will not coalesce with any other party, either in the Legislature or out of it—whieh isa onpital ‘dodge,’ as it will not improbably lead somo whigs to vote for free coil Senators and tepre sentatives in sever of the towas, and 60 cuable that party to hold the balance ef power in tho Legislature. This, supposing our free soilera to be honest in their abhorrence of coalitions, would be all the whigs could reasonably desire, as the Senato- rial election would be then t*rowm over until next » by which time some few of them hope the ‘quarreling about ‘the spoils’ will have done its fect work on the democracy, and leave them a proy apy party that sball be able to assail them. And there is philanthropy in this view of the matter, for there are some chances of a quarrel—fully enough to have satinfied Sir Lucius bimself—arising here about offices. Although there is not an office in the State that one of your New York spoils men would consider any thing beyond a mere ‘whet,’ and the whole of them would scarcely give a decent income to one man, yet they are fought for as savagely as if they each were a sort of portal to Sinbad’s diamond valley. A drop of water in a microscopic glass, where you see all kinds of monsters tearing and rending one another, no one can tell why, isa fair representation of our little State for the first six or bs, aw months after a Presidential inauguration. It is mighty amusing—to the lookers on. it is expected that the Congressional elections will ter- minate as they did two years ago, when each party elected one member, though the chances are in favor of the democrats electing both members. It was a tight run at the last election, and the democrats may now take everything. There was considerable grumbl at the renomination of Mr. King, the ae party being in such excellent condition that it could afford to quarrel, by way of variety. The Newport whigs, the most use- less set of men that ever belonged to any party, were threatening to bolt at the meeting of the convention, and should have been permitted to do so. Mr. Thurston, the democratic candidate in the Western district, was one of those gentlemen who, im 1842, took up arms to sustain the then government against Mr. Dorr and his followers.’ The democratic candidate in the Eastern dis trict, Mr. Davis, very superior man, and would make a valuable member of the national legislature. WHAT CHEER. Supreme Court—Special Term. DECISIONS. By Hon. Judge Roosevelt. Apnit 5.. via C. Hh us A. Smith —The pleadings admit that Mra, Hull, with her own separate funds, purchased all the claims and demands of E. H. & J. K. Bradbury against the firm of Hull & Smith, and that the agreement was that they were to be assigned to her by a proper and sufficient instrument in law to efTvct that purpose. An assignment was accordingly executed, and the consideration (82,500) paid, There are some forinal defects in the instrument. A full and valuable conside. ration having been paid and accepted, she is entitled, if necessary, to have the instrument reformed. and made conformable to the agreement. fhe now asks to have tho benefit of her purchase. The action is, in one view, an action on the judgment. Judgment must be entered re quiring the defendent Smith to pay the plaintiff, for her sole and separate use, the amount of the said judgment and interest, and also the costs of this suit. By Hon. Judge Edmonds. Jacob Le Roy vs. Rolert W. Lowber.—Let an order be entered staying proceedings on the order vacating the in- junction until decision of the appeal. United States Cireult Court, THE KAINE EXTRADITION CASH. Before Hon. Judge Nelson. Avni 5.—The case of Thomas Kaine, claimed by tho British government as a fugitive from justice, being call- ed, Messrs, Brady and Busteed appoared for the accussd, and demanded his discharge. Mr. A. L. Jordon aaid there wore a few points which had not been argued at Washington on the appeal, to which he would have to refer. The Judge then said that the matter should stand over until the equity cave at present on trial was ter: minated. City Intelligence. Monzy Fooxp.—A man found two packages of bills on Monday, in Third avenue, containing $192 in bills of dif- ferent devominations, on the City Bank of Kenosha, State of Wisconsin, He brought the money to the Sixteenth ward station house, where the owner can obtain it. A Narrow Escare rrom DrowninG.—On Monday after- noon, the police of the Nineteenth ward brought a man, named James Thaney, to the station house in Yorkville, in a very exhausted conditio: After being stripped an rolled in blankets, he revived, and is now out of danger. He says that he accidentally fell overboard from a sloop in the Fast river, and, after a severe struggle, «ncceeded in reaching the shore, near the foot of Eighty-alxth street, Where he was found by the police in an insensible condi: ion. Arreurt To Coumir Svicipr.-~ About six o'clock, Tuesday morning, a man named William Powers, who boarded at the house of Mrs. Quirk, No. 39 Ann street, jumped out of the fourth story window to the ground, and was seri- ously, if not fataliy, injured. He was immediately con- veyed to the New York Hospital, where he now lies in a critical state. He had been drinking very hard of late, and itis euppoted that he committed the rash act in oné of his drunken fits. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Tuxspay, April 5—6 P. M. Wehave no change of consequence to report in the stock market. At the first board to-day the market was heavy, and most of the fancies fell off a fraction. Hudson River Railroad declined } per.cent; Phoenix Coal Co., 14; Hanover Bank, 3. Nicaragua Transit advanced 4 per cent; Morris Canal, 3; Michi- gan Central Railroad, }; Cumberland Coal, 3. At the second board Morris Canal advanced }$ per cent; Harlem, 3; Pennsylvania Coal, 1; Phoenix, 3. Nica- ragua Transit declined } per cent; Great Northern Lead, 3. Money continues in active demand at full rates. There was an active demand for foreign ex change to-day, and rates for sterling bills have ad vanced. We now quote bills on-London at 93 pe cent. premium. This is the outside rate. Drawers feel confident that higher prices will soon rule, and exhibit no desire so sell. Purchases have recently been made to some extent by dealers, in anticipation ef a more active demand, and an advance in rates. Importers are in the market in great force for loans toenabie them to make remittances, and any let up— or rather any increase in the supply of money—would put foreign exchange at once up to specie shipping points, The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treas- urer of this port to-day amounted to $69,608 59; pay- ments, $49,254 61—balance, $7,400,987 08. Two hundred tons of copper ore, from the mines of the North Carolina Copper Company, were sold at auction to.day, by Simeon Draper. One hundred tons, estimated at 30 per cent richness, brought $6 80 per cwt.; and one hundred tons, estimated at 20 per cent richness, brought $6 25 per cwt. The two lots were purchased by the Revere Copper Company, of Boston, the purchasers of the firstlot, sold some weeks since. The proceeds of the above sale amounted to $32,900. Immediately after the sale of copper, Mr. Draper sold 1,027 shares of the stock of the North Carolina Copper Company, at $8 874 a $9. This stock did not belong to the company, or any one directly connected with the management. There was a large attendance, and the sale passed off with much spirit. The steamship Arctic brings four days later news from all parts of Europe. The financial and com- mercial accounts do not differ materially from those previously received. It is much to beregretted that the recent letter from the President of the Erie Railroad Company was not accompanied with the usual official statistics, that the parties interested in the company’s stocks and bonds | might have been in possession of the best and most re- iable information—at least sufficient to enable them to judge for themselves. They want more than the mere ipse dixit of the individual implicated in the charge of mal-administration. Such cannot answer the occasion. What he has presented is nothing | more than a rehash of the several reports heretofore issued, presenting no later intelligence than before published ; and of course the natural effect has been to create distrust and to give rise to the apprehen- sion that the true curtain of mismanagement has not been withdrawn from the real catastrophe of the dra- ma. Most certain is it, that the game played by the directory has not been a vaudeville nor a melodrama; but, on the contrary, we should judge from the effect on the auditory, exhibited in the reduced value of their stock, that there are strong anticipations that there will be, in the end, more of a tragedy than a comic performance. The president would have shown better taste if he had presented an unmis- takeable programme ; instead of which he has ush- ered forth his bill of fare, with an impotent attempt to throw, through a cloud of abuse, discredit upon those who have brought the charges made against him. The discrepancies were made so glaring that the namby-pamby dignity of the directors could re- sist the lash no longer. They have been, therefore, compelled to come to the bar of public opiniou, and like other trustees, abide the examination and the judgment, under the admission of the gist of the charges. ‘The charge has been effectually maintained, and shows that the president and his associates have exhibited throughout the grossest ignorance with the most reckless expenditure of money; and having 80 done, they have been compelled, for the purpose of sustaining their position, to tax the credulity of the community to its extreme gullibility. The letter which has been published, presents nothing but as- sumption—the information asked for ia not given; but for the purpose of proving that the directors ‘hhave confidence in the fate of the road, the president states that the members of the Board hold more than one-tenth of the capital stock. This declaration is, beyond doubt, perfectly true. But who are the par- ties thus interested? Is it the gentleman and his particular friends, or is it 80 held by the unfortunate director recently elevated to the honor of member- ship? Will the president answer this question? If he admits the fact and the truth that every effort has been used to break down the market, then the proof of confidence of which he has boasted is little better than a deception. The directors have essentially no interest in the stock; while in the second mortgage bonds, which have been specially well provided for, they are largely concerned, which favored lien the history of the times at which it was negotiated gave rise to the suspicion that the credit of the com- pany was purposely run down, for the express object of getting hold of the bonds at the moderate dis- count of twenty per cent. The sale at auction on that occasion, as far as the duped public were con- cerned, did not exceed $45,000—such was the dis- trust created; but the millions of balance was taken by the dircetors and their friends; and then, after a few days of modest reserve, the loan exhibited un- mistakeable evidences that the knowing ones had feathered their nesta with a vengeance. With regard to the future profits of the Erie Railroad, much will depend on the operation of the act, which has already passed the Assembly, taxing all through freight carried over the road, equal to the tolls paid on the canals, to raise a revenue to secure the enlargement of these great internal im- provements—a policy, perhaps, not very judicious, as its effect may be to direct the western trade to other places—for already have the tolls been reduced on the roads connecting Pittsburg to Philadelphia, and on the Baltimore and Ohio road between Wheeling and Baltimore. The New York roads have enjoyed almost the ex clusive advantage of carrying the travel to the West, from whence they have derived their principal revenue; but now that the Baltimore and Ohio road has been completed to the Ohio river, the current of travel, following its natural course, must be divided Heretofore, persons going to Cincinnati were com pelled to take our route, while, with the present ac- commodation, the shortest line will be through Balti- more, as this will best suit the residents of the southwest. The Parker Vein Coal Company are making rapid progress in establishing its line of steamers between this city and Alexandria and Baltimore, in connec- tion with the Cumberland Coal trade and the freight- ing business of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Four steamers have been launehed, and two more will be afloat in a couple of weeks. The first two, the Parker Vein and the Westernport, will be here this week, to load with freight for the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad. These are the first of the line of fifteen steamers, now building by Capt. Loper, to run between this city and Baltimore. These steamers will form a daily line between the two cities, and, running in connection with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, must do an immense freighting busi- ness, in addition to the transportation of the compa- ny’s (Parker Vein) coal. It is estimated that the receipts and expenses of each steamer belonging to the line, per month, or for three trips, will be as an- nexed :— PARKER VEIN CoAL ComMPANY'S STRAMERS—RECEIPTS AND Expenses, Expenses of loading and uploading........... $200 00 Expenses of captain, engineers, and crew. 420 00 Provisions, fuel, &c,, 430 00 Total expenditure per month, or three trips $1,159 00 Receipts for freight on 1,200 tone of coal, (400 tons each trip,) at $1 25 $1,500 Receipts on miscellaneous freight per month, three trips to N. York 600 Receipts on’ misosllaneous freight per month, 3 trips from N. York 1,500 3,600 00 Net freight each steamer, per month....... $2 441 000 Do. do. Per annum......, 29,292 00 Do. fifteen steamers, per annum...., 439,380 00 ‘This is equal to a profit onthe entire capital of the company—three millions of dollars—of nearly fifteen per cent. This will only be a portion of the com- pany’s business. Its coal mining will be a very profit- able branch of business. It is estimated that about four hundred thousand tons of coal will be mined during the next twelve months, which will net a profit of full ninety cents a ton, giving an aggregate of three hundred and sixty thousand dollars; equal to twelve per cent on the entire capital. If these estimates are approached in the result, the profits must be large enough to satisfy the most extrava- gant. This company has an advantage over all others in the Cumberland coal region, in owning its steamers for the transportation of its own coal to market. While other companies are piling up coal at Baltimore and Alexandria, the Parker Vein will be transporting its coal to market. It will thus secure ready sales at the best price. The following letter from Dr. Owen, United States Geologist, places the Parker Vein Coal Company in its proper light. The examination was mgade at the request of several eminent capitalists of our city, who were, at the time, in no way connected with the company:— Westerxport, March 28, 1853. Dear Sir—On Saturday I arrived at Caomberland, and spent most of Saturday and all to-day in an examination of the coal lands of the Parker Vein Company. I conider it a most valuable piece of property; probably the most pers coal lands in this country—at any rate in Ma- ryland. ‘The quality of the coal is unsurpassed by any coal that ever came under my notice. It has a most beautiful crystalline structure, the fractured surface of a great por- tion of it reflecting light like polished steel. I never saw a coal freer from sulphuret of iron and earthy inter- mixtures. In one of the adits I measured the thickness of the bed of pine coal over thirteen feet. In some places it is from fourteen to fifteen feet thick, with only a few inches of slate interstratified four feet from the top of the bed. I waa in five different adit levels. The Totten property, which I understand has been recently purchased by the company, is entirely underlaid by this immense bed of coal, of the finest quality. From the best information I can learn, it is estimated by good judges of the value of property in the George Creek Valley. to be worth $200 per acre more than the company paid for it, There is at least 1,300 acres of the present lands of the company underlaid by the great main bed of coal. One the opposite side of the valley of George Creek is the property of the George Creek Mining Company. They } also have the same bed of coal, but their lands can hardly | be considered as valuable, because the land is less con | solidated, i. e. more cut by ravines, than the lands of the Parker Vein Company. 1 doubt whether there are any coal lands in Pennsylva- nia that can compete with this coal region, for the reason that the coal of Pennsylvania, as far as I can learn, is more disturbed, and consequently, almost always requires to be excayated and brought to the surface through shafts, and bence requires outlays for machinery, for drainage, &e.; whereas the George Creek coal lies ‘with only a very gentle inclination to the centre of the valley, st sufficient for self-drainage, and requiring no outlay ut for excavation and receiving it out on a tramroad, which costs only one cent per bushel at present, The eompany should have an immense block for exhi- bition at the fair in New York. ‘There are four or five workable seams of coals in the same lands with the great main bed, one of which is fom tix to eight feet thick. The coal measures of this region are included between Mount Savage and Dan's Mountain, and contain some thirteen beds of coals at present known to exist, This is all my limits will at present admit me to say.
