Lorpon, April 18, 1853. The past fortnight has been one of comparative quiet in the poli Land commercial world. The most striking ‘eature is the magnitude of the new schemes brought pon the market, prospretively requiring large muna, ‘nownting te not’ lees than £25,000,000 sterling, in- chidig Canadiam, French, and American railways. The Great Canadian Hine embracos a capital of £9,500,090.

Othmerican Railway Bonds the St. Louis and Cincin- natifor £2,750,000, and Louisville for £562,500, have deen brought upon the market.

The favorite plan seems to be to issue, at rcne discount from par, bonds transferable “to bearer” at 23¢ per cent interest, redeemable ia forty years, It is doubted whether the wants of commerce will not hinder the exchange of any very large amounts of government securities for others yielding less interest Shan the existing ones.

Murder—Robbery and Accidental Death—Exe- cution in fafa rpg ger" [From the Buffalo Courier, ‘There are circumstances counected der of Beatson, in Ohio, whose supposed murdere was recently arrested in this city, that mark it as one of the most extraordinary affairs recorded in the history of crime. There is more about it that evinces a long con- templated, adroitly planned robbery, and « calm, unfal- tering determination to commit murder merely for gain, than can te found in almostany volume of * kable Criminal Trials” that bas been published. Less than a year ago, Beatson, the murdered man, Parks, his supposed murderer, and’ person named Geo, came over together in the same ship from Kurope. Beat” son and Parks bad comparatively little money, while Gee was known to have had several hundred dollars. With this ho came to Erie county, and deposited a portion of it (six hundred dollars) in the Buffalo Savings Bank. The lace of its deposit became, in some manner, known to tson, who resolved, if possible, to obtain’ possession of it: it how te accomplish that object was a matter not no easily determined. A plan, however, was devised, and its execution at once entered upon. Ascertaining that there was in the city » young Englishman, who also came over in the same ship with Gee, Beatson found him out and introduced himee!f as Gee's brother, and succeeded 80 admirably in convincing his new acquaintance that uch was the fact, that he went with Beatson to the bank and introduced him as such to Mr. Howard, the secretary. Beatson then produced a letter, previously prepared, of course by himself, etiarie lo be written to him’ by William Gee, stating that he (W.G ) had just purchasea a farm near Buffalo, had paid three hundred dollars on it, and needed six hundred dollars more in gold; that he was unable to come in person to Buflulo and draw it from, the bank, in consequence of having been injured by a kick from a horse, and had therefore deputed hia brother toget it for him. Under thi# state of things—being properly introduced, Wm. Gee being unable to draw & check, the story seeming altogether probable, and cir- cumstances not suggesting any icion — tho secretary concluded to psy the six hundred dollars, and drew a check for that amount on Oliver Tee & Co.'s bank. Before delivering the check, however, the Secretary wrote a receipt for the moncy, which the supposed “ brother” was requested to sign. This, Beatson declined doing, alleging as a reason that he could not write. He did, however, make his mark, which was witnessed by the person who introduced him Putting the check iu his pocket, he Rrocouled to Oliver Lee & Co.'s Bank, presented it to Mr. Mercer, the teller, saying he desired to have gold. Mr. Mercer replied that he could not pay gold on the check, except at the usual premium, or uniess Mr. Howard should request it. The cool individual said he would take it back and have Mr. Toward do so. Back he went to the Savings Bank. Mr. Howard assented to his request, and ieserted in tho check, “‘pay im gold,” and with this Boatson returnod to the (. Lee Bank, obtained the gold, and took his de- parture. The noxt that was heard of him was, that ho ad been murdered, and that Varks was arrested for the crime. Another curious incident in this singular histery is that there was found im Beatson’s pocket, after his mur- der, a paper, stating that the gold belonged to Wm. Gee, but not more extraordinary than what follows:—After Parke’ arrest, this paper came into the hands of the Dis- triet Att , of Summit county, Ohie, where Parka is now undergoing trial. That officer immediately wrote to Wm. Gee, making inquiries in reference to Beatson, an to the truth of what was stated in the memorandum; but just before the letter was received, Gee was killed by the accidental discharge of a gun. When the letter arrived, It was opened by the landlord of the tavern where Gee had been staying, who at once hastened to the city to ancertain the facts. Strunge, indeed, is the web of human life. Of those three percons, who a few short months before were fellow passengers on the voyage to this country, one robs s bank of $600; ne in turn is murdered by @ companion, and the third, whose money was the cause of it all, is hurried to anothor world by the accidental discharge of a gun. The supposed murderer is now on trial for the offence, and the evidence ageinst him said to be very clear. “——Murder, though it bave no tongue, will speak With most miraculous organ.” Confession of John Schoney and J. A. Van. zandt, allas Dodge, now under Sentence een for the Murder of two Delaware indians. (Fiom the St. Louis Republican of April 24.) Joseph Arderson Vanzandt Dodge and John Schoney alias Shawney, as ho was called, was at tho last term of the United States Circuit Court convicted ef tho mur- der of two Delaware Indians, a man and squaw, on tho plains, in 1861, ‘The circumstances connected with this murder at the time excited considerable interest, as the crimo of ingra. titude was added to that of blood. ' They have been tried, convicted, and sentenced, and we give the public the bo: nefit of their own declarations, without any comment. Tho two unfortunate men are confined in different celly, and from the conversation we have had with them. entertain no hope of executive clemency, and have made up their minds to mect the worst fate Dodge, whose roal name is Vanzandt, is 9 young mi about’ twenty-four years of age, with a pleasant coum tenance, light hair, and blue eyes, and about six fect im height.’ He is an vneducated mau, and left his home at the early age of thirteen. He was born in the city of Fhiladelphia, and bis parents reside in St. Lawrence He bas also four brothers and two sisters 'I'ving, and wife, from whom he separated a short time after his marrroye, who resides in Oswego, in | the State of New York. After he left home he went to vork on the Erie Canal, but states that while he was often thrown into bad company, he is not aware of ever having been cast amoug criminals, or that clasa of per- sons whore crimes in the ciiminal calendar amount wo the dignity of felony. A boy, without the enared influ- ences of home, without counsel, he pursned his wand ing way. Aud though guilt had’ never stained his han yet surrounded by demoralizing iufluences and associa. tions, calculated to destroy the finer sensibilities of bumaa nature, bis heart was gradually and almost im- perceptibly prepared for crimes of the darkest hue, It is another lamentable instance of the destruction of 4 young man, unprotected by education or the hallowed influences of home. He regards his execution as inevi- table, and talks and thivks of it with a determined though not desperate resolution. Inreply to come quostions relative to his opinions of the future, he replied, that “from his earliest recollec- tion he had been taught to believe there was a heaven But it neemed more the prejudice of the than the reason or feeling of the mau. The future wos @ mystery which the gallows would shortly reveal to him, with just suflicient revelation and prejudice to re- gard it as 9 hazard of his soul, and an apparent indiffer- ence as to the result. Schoney is a sraaller man than Dodge, rather delicate frame, light hair and eyes. His countenance evinces de- termination and reckles-ness. He seemed to entertain a faint hope that he would have a respite, but regarded his fate as inevitable. Witha view to his approaching exe- cution he has already sent for a spiritual adviser, and his Feligious convictions teem firm and settled, haviag been, ‘as ho raid, Lorn and bred inthe Catholic church. In con versation he is cheerful and communicative, and asserts that he was never before accused ‘or suspected of crime, It will be seen, by a perusal of the statements of the two men, Dodge and Schorey, that they accuse Fullmore, who was a witness eguinst them, as belng a riegleader i the crime; and Schoney states that his oath was @ cast in whioh one neck was hezaréed against another. Both, however, entirely exculpate young Holland, who, they say; had nothing to de with it.

A short tine atierwards I entered as company team: ster, and drove for about nine months, and went from there to a place called Galisto, whore, after laying there about four months I was sent off to El Paso, with six mule tewms, for seme money for the paymaster, and was ore three or four weeks ; arhort time after my return deserted, for the reason 1 was worked too hard and f id too badly, tho provisions being very indifferent ; ullmore deserted with me; he was a private in company F, First Dragoons ; we both deserted from Fort Massa- chusetts, and travelled on for Green Horn Creek ; there struck the trail which crosseé U. 8. mail road from Santa Ve to the States, about twelve miles from Bent's Kort; we crossed the Arkansas at Hont’s Fort, and went on all the next day without food, urying (o kill some antelopes, bot couldn't get close enongh, and our ammunition was very scuroo ; we travelled on for five days withont food, and on the fifth day overtook Joseph Dodge and John Holland, two deserters from Fort Union, and they had nothing to eat; all fourof us travelled on until about M1 o'clock ; my mule was tired and almost given out, when we concluded to camp, and kill it to eat, which we did-—cut some of the meat, cooked aad eat it, which tasted first rate, as we were mighty hungr, we couldn't cat out off and éried, till about three o'clock, when we travelled on, laid in camp agein until next morn: ing, when we started sgain about cleven o'clock, and encamped where there were two cott od trees, about twenty fect apart, and tied # rope from one to the other, and bong up our ment to ain, After we lay there about half an hour on Indian came to us and said he belonged to the Kappahves ; finally two others of the seme tribe came, and ¥e were trying to trade a mule with them for two ponies—the uiule belonged to Fullmore.

They gave us something to eat, coffee, buffalo meat, &e. ‘There was © Mexican pack-traim in the camp ‘with these 4 numbering some fourteea or fifteen, They told us that am American train was coming on, and said it was Bill Beot’s, After taking dinner with them we started for Bent’s train, and before we got to then we camo in right of a lerge Indian camp, They ftopped us ond the chief called me up to him, had a Mexican interpreter with him, and asked us whore we were from, I told him from New Mexico; and ho askoi if there were eny troops coming; Ltold hiv infor: us that Ment’s trata was about balf ahead; wo wenton, snd ina short time overtook it: we traded a saddle ond gun for provisions and ammunition, travelled on to the crossing of the Arkansas, and thors saw Ox maxche Indian oump; this waa about twoaty miles feom Fort Mackey; wout rowad tho onme aad pased ea wall ing utensils, and protect them into the States; the Indians agreed to this. We travelled on for two or three days, and tho evening before the took place, Dodge rode up to Fullmore, and raid all the property belonging to the Iudians should be his (Dodge's) before they gotinto the states, and asked Fullmore if he was willing to join hum, and Fullmore said that was his mind three days age. ‘They then asked me if I was willing to joim, and I said no, ‘They then told me if | didm’t, 1 could have no share of the spoils.

That night Holland and I were on guard, and the next morning all the part; went om, We stopped at a little pond, about 11 o’cloc ext day. Ilay down to sleep. I slept about half an hour, and was waked up by heariag somo one holla, “Oh'don't Jos.” When I looked up, I saw Fullmore on top of the Indian man, beating him with a gun over the head, and Dodgo was striking the woman over the head With’ trying pan. Fullmore started over to Holland, who was standing off about ten rods, and grabbed « knife out of his hand, and went back to the Indian and struck the poiut in his throat. From there he started over to where the squaw was lying and cut her throat. I wasall tbe time lying down. They them told Holland and me to drag them off into the pond’; I said I would have nothing ‘to go with it, when they said if we didn’t do it we should lay alongside of them, Fullmore and Dodge dragged off the man, and Holiand and me, under a threat, carried off the woman into the grass; the man was throwa in the pond. We then packed up ; Fullmore rode around the map, aud Dodge the woman, to see if they were dead, Dodge came back, and said the old aquaw ain’t dead yet ; 1 threw all the beaver traps on her and kicked hor on the head, and left her senseless. We went on to Cottonwood Grove, and Fuilmore and Dodge opened the trumk and found $203 in specie ; there were aloo thirteen mules aud ponies ; and there we had a division of fifty’dollars each. Irefused to take my share, but they threatened aud made me take it ; they told’ Holland the same. Dodge and mo went on ahead to Council Greve to buy provisions, and all eucamped there that night ; next. morning woat in, and ina fow days arrived at Independeues. We left the horses and mulos a short distance trom Independeuce in charge of Holland ; Fullmore, Dodge, aud myself woat into town and stayed all night at the Indepeudenco tavern. Nothing of any, intorest transpired from that time until our ariest, which occurred a short time alter our arrival in St. ie STATEMPNT OF DODGE. I enlisted in April, 1851, at Buffalo, and was sent to Bedlow’s Island, and stayed there about two moaths, and was takon ‘from there to New Orleans, aud from thence to Jefferson Barracks, and so on to Fort Leaven vorth, I went out with a train to Fort Union—the train was under the command of Major Kooker and Captain Bowen—and wo arrived at Fort Union the last of June. Iwas put to driving a mule team, hauling logs for Fort Union, The first of August I waa sent from. there to ‘Canon Cha.” I won't speak of any of the hardsbips that I endured. All the while I was out thore I was teaming {¢, and that was about sixtoon montha, I applied to Captain Bowen to send me to my company, but all the answer that he gave me was “No, you are too good a teamater ;”” but he told me I was tolled off for H, company tho third. I-didn’t like to be driving team. when I listed for @ doldier, and so I and my companions dogerted. We lay in ambush all one day, and that night sent in an old acquaintance for sixty pounds of flour. shouldered it, and wo started for the States. We camped one night on little ranche Riou ; from Rion we camped on Red river ; from Red river to the Picket Wire ; and from Picket Wire to High Rock; and about ten’ miles this sido of High Rock we met a train going into Riou, and got a few necessary things we needed. Wo started from them and got on the Arkansas. About eight miles from tho Arkasras we met a Mexican train; about eighty mile from Beut's Yort we camped in a lit road. We had eat all the provisions we worning, before we start we saw @ couple of me ing on ules, and they were desertors, the sam fe These were Shawney and Fullmore. | them where they were from, and they told me th re fiom Fort Massachusetts. The me if we hai any- thing to eat; they said they hada't hed anything for foge days. We started on, all four together: we kept on all that day, and says Fullmore to Joba Shawney, “let's kill your mule,” which ho did, after some coaxing. We Gried come of the meat, and cooked some of it the next day. We started sgain, and travelled forty miles that day, and stopped at night with scme Indians. Tho next morning we started and mot 9 Mexican pack train; the, said the American train laid this side the Arkanyas, Wo stopped ut the train and traded off a saddle and a gun for provisions; we changed our clothes for citizens’ clothes, and started for Fort Mackay. I told the boys I was going to give myself up there; and Holland said if I did he would too. Fullmore said ho would starve to death, and s0 did Shawney, before he would~give himself up; and then we parted, and I started to give myself up. We met an old fitead who said we had'nt better surrender our- selven;eaid ho would give us grub enough to carry us to the States; at that minute au Indian came up; he spoke little Kngliah, and caid he was Delaware; ho adviced us not to give ourselves up, and said if we would protect him, he would give us grub, and mules to ride to che States. We iold him wo woula, and started on with him. About twenty miles this aide of there, we overtoek Shawuey and Fallmore. The Indian told them the same, and gave Shawney a mule to ride oa. | We kent on until we came to the Pawnee Fork, and there we met an American train, They told us there was » large body of Os- ages at the Big Bend of the Arkansas, and we had better look out for them. 1 told the Indian so, and he said wo had better wait until night, for if they’ aaw him they would scalp him; and we camped for the night. We started vext mosning, and arrived at Cow Creek, and took Vreakfast. Before we started, there was a Camanche In- dian came up, and we traded mule for a pony. He in- formed us that there was no danger of any more Indiaas on the plains. and we started and travelled on, We tra velled all that day and all the next night, and the next day and night, and they never gave us anything to eat. Being almost ttarved to death, I told Fullmore that I was going to take a mule and go ahead and get some grub. No, said Fullmore, we will kill them and take all the mules. Next morning we camped near Little Pond; the Indian and squawsat down as usual, and began to eat and never offered us any, John Shawney said ke was going to have a piece of buffalo meat and stepped up to the bag to get it, and the Indian jumped up and drew a butcher knife on him; Shawney picked up.a gun laying near and knocked him down; with that the squaw wade at John with a knife, avd'I picked up a fryingpan and knocked the butcher knife out of her hand, and Fullmore knocked her down with his fist and fook the butcher knife and eut her throat. Now, rays he, you will never try to starve another white man to death. Ho then helped me te drag the dead In- dian to the side of the road. We packed up tho mules and started for Cotton Wood Creck, and there we camped. Jack Fuilmore was the first man to open the packs; he found in the packs $200, which we equally di vided. We threw away the things that were of no account, and the rest we hept. Fullmore put on one of the Indian's shirts and wore it to the States.

It profssses to be founded on published written statements haying no special relation to any legal proceeding, whereas from the style of the charge, it is ob- vious that the words complained of were used in & written afiidavil, made by an attorney ia a cause pending, or sup- posed to be pending, in some court of justico, in which affidavit the deponont averred his belief that the fire mentioned in it, and the claim set up in consequence, “were a fiand upon the Hudson River Insurance Com: pany” After setting forth the document with marks of quetation, the plaictif’ sey he “complains that the aforesaid writing and pubiication, even though discredited by oli his present acquaintances must needs bo very inju- rieus to him in the very large community of business men and other citizens in New York, aud tend to injure him yery reriously, to his great damage and great discredit in his businosa aforesaid.’ He does not give any precision to the intended object of the ebarge by averment, nor does he allege that he has sustained any actual damage in consequence of it. It is true that setting fire to » building or merchandise, at the time insured, with intent to Prejudice the insurer, constitutes the crime of arson in the third degres—z. R. 8 but this complaint contains no allegation that the piaintifi had any 1osurance, or that the maker of tho affidavit charged, or intended ‘to charge hin, with the crime of setting fire to any property so insured, ana with the intent to defraud any insurance company. Pleadings, it is true, are, under th Code, to” liberally interpreted but it is vot com; a party by interpretation.

W hite.—An attorney acting fora wife in obtaining a divorse from her hus- band, whether absolute or limited, cannot sue the latter for the costs of the proceedings, unless upon an actual promice to pay, expressly made ‘by him, or clearly infer- able from hia ‘language or conduct. Such cases do not within the meaning of the law come under the denomina- tion of ‘ necessities’ furnished te the wife ; their object and their tendency being not to sustain but to defeat the marital relation. In the aotion for divorce, it ix competent tothe wife to apply for an allowance to herself by way of alimony, and in adjusting such al’owance the Court in that suit, looking into the circumstances, can properly setermine whether any, and if 40, what amount should be ordered to be paid to her, to defray, among other charges, the expenses of employing counsel. Such a mo tion, it appears from the papers, was in fact made, and after full searing denied. No precedent can be found of a lawyer in such case turniog round, and in his own name sueing the busband. 2 Moeson and Welsby 265, Iadd vs. Lynn; and 18 Connecticut Reports, Shelton va Pendleton. ‘The conclusion arrived at by the referee ap pears therefore, and for other sufficient reasonsda the evidence iteelf, to be right; and the complaint must ac cordingly, ax adjudged by Kim, be disinissed with costs Caroline A.

Ingersoll.—Where a plaintiff in tition makes # voluntary conveyance of his intecest, it is wot necessary to change the title of the writ, nor is such change proper unless under seed circumstances to be judged of by the Court generally; the riglts of all persons interested in the subject matter are beat protected, and the orderly conduot of tho proceedings best promoted by continuing the action. as the code provides, in thename of the original pacty. This is erpecially the case where a report on title has already been maie,{according to the rights and interests as they stood before the transfer. ‘The referees’ report appears to be deficient in some, and erroneous in other particulars. Marriage alone does not make the husband tenant ‘or life of the wife's real pro- perty, There must be a child \ the wife more be seized of an estate as fee in presenti, and not ly entitled to s revisionary interest afver the ter. ation of an existing dower 0-tate in the order of the ovious owner. As to one-third of each share, therefore, Te con be uo custory estate, even if the objection at ‘be birth of a child should be removed. The same ob jection applies to the alleged inchoate right of dower of the sons’ wives. Dower upom dower is not allowed by law. The third set apart for tho widow is not subject to any claim inchoate or otherwise, in favor of the daugh- ter-in law. As to the claim of the former attorney of the -plaintiffa’, it cannot be adjusted in this cause. An at- torney, sinco the Cede, stands upon the same footing as any Other “workman.’’ The measure of his compen- fatign, and the mode of securing its payment, are left entirely to such agreement as he may make’ with his client. ‘He possesses in this respect no greater privi- lege, and is subject likewise tono greater disabilities, than other persons, Ce,tain sums, it is true, are allowed, or way be, to the prevailing party upon the judgment which for convenience of expression are termed ‘‘ costs,” but it is expressly declared, not only “ that the allowance is to the party”! but that it is tobe made by way of indemnity for his expenses in the action. (Sec 303.) His actual expenses may be greater, or they may be less, they may consist of law charges, or they may consist of charges in no way connected with law or lawyers, and which bave entirely been defrayed by himself. How, then, can the Court say that an allowance thus made necessarily or in y way belongs to the attorney, or that without any eement he bas a lien, legal or equitable, on the judg- t for the amount? Besides, since the Code, there is no occasion for such an implied lien. The attorney i not disposed to rely upon thé mere personal credit of hix client, cam take an agreement of the demand and of the judgment which inay be recovered upon it, or an interes on such judgment to the extent of the costs and percent, age,'cr to any other extent, contingent or certain, as may fairly be agreed upon, as payment or as security for his serviecs. The Code permits such arrangements, and the permission with their own vigilance is abundantly ade quate to protect the profession, The draft decree sub: mitted for ecnsidcration must be modified to meet the suggestions above expressed. In the Matter of One Hundred ana Twenty fourth Street. —An expenditure of between $4,000 and $5,000 out of the city treasury, has already been the result of this pro- ceeding. The Commissioners now ask that the report which they have heretofore presented to the Court, as con- taining a just and true estimate and assesment, bo re- ferred back to them, under a suggestion that, although 8 majority of the parties interested are opposed to further proceedings, yet thoy, the Commissioners, can s the awards and agsee+ments, ax in their opinion, to them acceptable, No particula-s are specified, and none of the proposed alterations are indicated, distinctly or otherwise. On the other hand the statute of 1839 is po- sitive, that if upon hearing the application to confirm the report, a majority of the persons interested ‘ shall appear and object to further proceeding upon the report, the court sball order the same to be discontinued” In the present case, not only a majority, but a majority im Amount of more then two thirds object; aud although more than six months have elapsed since the date of their signatuzes, none have seen ft, with ample time for re- ‘ideration, to withdraw their objections. Under such circumstances, would it be discreet, even if the power were undoubted, to continue the proceedings, and agera- vate the expense upon the treasury, ia view of a mere speculative possibility, by « farther reference to the same commissioners. The case of Canal streot has been cited as an authority for so doing, where the report, it is said, was referred back several’ tines. The circumstances, however, were different. But were they the same, my judicial experience of the results in that case have not eon ko encouraging an to induce a repetition of the prece- dent. An order must, therefore, be entered, as directed by the statute, that all further proceedings in be discontinued. New York Amasements, ‘Tis gay and bustling metropolis is now in the full whirl and oidy of fun, fashion, and excitement, erjcying and patronizing public amusomeata of every grade, from the grand operatic representations of the [alian echool to the ground and lofty tam- blings of the Donnybrook school.

The Chicago Ratilroad Collision. TO THE EDITOR OF THK HERALD. I notice in your paper of this morning, a commani- cation, signed ‘‘Chicago,” in reference to the late lamentable collision at the junction of the Illinois Central and Michigan Southern railroads, on Mon- day evening last. It is a most weak and wicked at- tempt to thrust the blame from the Michigan South- ern to the Michigan Central road. The testimony of the engincers and conductors on both trains, as taken before the coroner's jury, clearly shows that the collision occurred from the gross careleasness and recklessness of the managers of the express train on the Southern road. By mu- tual agreement on the part of both roads, the illinois Central trains going in have the right of road at the crossing, over all trains on the Michigan Southern road coming out of Chicago, which rule gave the emigrant train the right to the road, and puts the express train entirely at fault. The Southern Michi- express train was thirty-five minutes off its time, avi stopped at the Rock Island Railroad depot for passengers, and, a8 the engineer testifies, was en- deavoring to ‘make up lost time,” and should have used more than ordinary caution at the crossing, es- pecially as he confesses he saw atrain on the Central road. That the Board of Directors of thé Michigan Southern Railroad did or did not pass certain resolu- tions, for the purpose of promoting seliish objects and defeating the wishes of the public,is not the question at issue, or one which the public are now interested in. To place such resolutions before the public as a plea of justification, is ridiculous and ab- surd. Such an act cannot be justified, and such an attempt only produces the greater indignation. Your readers generally know that the Mlinois Central Railroad have a good and unquestionable charter, granting them full power to cross farms, turnpikes and railroads, as in other charters, and that no reso- lutions passed by a Board of Directors of the Michi- gan Southern, or any other railroad company, can cause them to relinquish any rights or powers granted them by the State of Hlinois.
