THE ART UNION INVES TIGATION. Before Hon. D. B, Taylor and A. M. Clapp. May 11.—In pursuance to the adjournment yesterday, the committee in this case resumed their invertigation this afternoon at 6 0’clock. Present—Hon. D. B. Taylor, A.M, Clapp, and Clerk of the House of Representatives, F. A, Coe, Mr. Denxing in place of Mr. Fullerton, Mr, R, H. Shannon, the Counsel for the Petitioners, Col. Warner, Mr. Austin, and W. H Appleton. ‘The Chair asked Mr. Monk if be had prepared the pa- of explanation which he desired to do yes‘erday. megs ten ee My. Coe—We do not, {wish the Cour; to unde: desire or intend to object to any proper explanation. do not know how great the patience of the committee may but we can equal them. 5 by ppd you wish, Mr, Monk, to change your evi- dence as it is recorded ¢ Witness —No sir, I oply wish to explain its wherein I have been restrained by counsel, I bave shown no disposi- tion to avoid any question which the counsel may have put to me; committee may have noticed that whenever I wished to give an explanation carrying out the narrative ef the case, the counsel for the Art Union has invariably told me to answer nothing but the question. ‘The Chair—You may now, Mr. Monk, go on with your explaration to harmonize, if necessary, your evidence, We wish you, however, to be as brief as , Mr. Denning, as counsel in place of Fullertoa—If Mr. Monk had submitted, in writing, his explanations, he might have saved the time of a whole day in cross-exami- nation, I would suggest, had we not better save that time, ‘The Chair—We would have preferred that course. We wished that the explanation should be in writing; but Mr. Monk did not think proper to do so. We are sorry for the delay, but it cannot be helped. Mr. Ought not the witness first satisfy the Court that an explauation is necessary. The explanation will involve a long cross-examination. ‘The Chair~ We cannot shut our eyes against the right of the witness toexplain I again ioe phog the hope that the witness will be as brief as possible in his expla- nations. Mr. Coe—May we ask the clerk of the committee to take down every word the witness may give! The Chair—Certainly. We will not allow him to in- troduce extraneous matter. Now, Mr. Monk, proceed with your explanations. ‘Witners—I was asked whether I had stated, in the resence of W. Benedict and Jarvis, this charge’ against Jol, Warner— Chair—Well, sir. Witness—I denied having stated that; I then wished to explain that Mr. Austin made the same statement in the presence o! these parties: Chair—Thia point has been before explained. Clerk werateh this pomt of explanation out. Now, Mr. Monk, proceed to the next point. Witness—I will do so as rapidly as I can. In speaking of imported pictures purchased by the Art Union, I un- derstood Mr. Fullerton to say he would produce the books whieh I called for this day; 1 want the bulletins of 1849 and 1850, I wae the witness wants to explain Mr. Voe—May with the book of 1849 Chair—Can’t the witness go on with the book in his hand of 1850? Witness Yes, but I can do better with the volume of 1849, Mr. Coe annoys me while in my explanations. In regard to the picture culled the “Beef shooters,” they put in two papers in evidence whieh did not relate to the affair they intended. Mr, Shannon, (counsel for petitioners.)—I will call the attention to these points I think necessary to explain. Witness—In regard to the bill of Mr. Nilus, offered yes- terday, Thad previously stated I had loaned the money to Mr. ‘Austiu; Mr. Nilus, on the day on which he present+ ed Mr. Austin’s order on'me for the money, gave me the receipt which was produced in evidence yesterday; I, pre- ing that the matter had been arranged, made out the Dill to which I refer, produced esterda jalter seeing Mr. Austin, he told me to lay it aside, which I did; and by re- ference to the bill you will discover that it was paidin the month of June, and never went before the Finance Committee till December of the same year, and the Audi- ting Committee long after that time. ‘the Chair—That explains that quostion, ‘the next. eon Shannon—Where was this bill you refer to all this W.—It was in my pocket all this time, and then wrui in at the end of the yoar by Mr. Austin, in the hurry business, In regard to Mr. Glass, Mr. Fullerton placed a t dealof stress uj my testimony in that matter. Then Mr. Glass had pictures to sell, the sympathies of the committee would into requisition, by stating that he either expected w come to America, or to forma matrimonial alliance. . The Chair—We had better divorce this subject. I think we have gone far enoughon this point. Have you any other point? W.—Yer sir, Iwant to explain yesterday's testimony; yesterday, in speaking, I was unable to give more names of artists who were compelled to sell their pictures to the Art Union through their necessities. The Chair—We have enough of these names. Pass to ‘the next pint. W.—Yesterday Mr. Fullerton fastened me down to one picture of Mr. Boutelle’s, which was sold through coercion. The Chair—Well, now give us the names of the other Now go to pictures. W.—One picture was called “View on the Harlem River,” which he was forced to sell less than its value; 1 reeolleet that to lengthen out the ee (I now wish the court to notice how dead Mr. Austin is Goring at me. Mr. Austin cannot intimidate me.) ‘Mr. Depning—Is that part of the explanation? ‘Witnees, (rising and addressing the Chair)—I wish to eay that I'am here alone, and these gentlemen. of wealth make a dead .et to put me down; 1 think I have some rights, which the Court sbould defend; as I was going to say, for the purpuse of lengthening out catalogue, Ma fieaisile tind aninclac te paint euveee) pletion, Sith ‘the assurance that thore pietures should be distributed in the year in which they were painted, and he should be fairly compensated for ‘same; but, on the contrary, the pictures were not distributed in that year, nor was ys Salta enone that point, is it not? ir—That is e1 on that it no! ‘Witnese—If you say #0, it is. The Chair—, 7° er point you wish to explain. Witness—Yes, I want to overcome the set made uj me by Mr. Fullerton; 1 was asked, yesterday, in w! manner the Court ooereed Mr. Boutelle into the sale of his pictures; I was asked what pictures Mr. Volmerring sold the ocmmittee; I said I would answer if they would produce the books; they promised to produce the books to-day. Chair—Does that elose.your explanation? W.—Yer, sir. Chair—Read, Mr. Clerk, the testimony to the witness, it explanations were read. The witness then signed, | }¢ [The and swore to the testimony he bad given.} Chair—Does the counsel on the part of the Art Union wish further to cross-examine this witness? Mr. Denping-I,wish his cross-examination to be deferred till Mr. Fullerton can attend to it. Chsir—Does the counsel on the part of the petitioners wish to introduce any other wi nesses? Mr. Shanpon—I am through with this witness, unless he is further cross-examined; my other witnesses, not know- jag when they might be wanted, they have gone away; I would, therefore, suggest the committee adjourn tilf to- morrew, at 9 o’clock, A. M.; there were nome witnesses here ready yesterday, -but they have gone away. Gs ante now go on with the examination of the doo! Mr. Shaanon—Very well; I am ready to go into the exa- mination ef the books; I want first the treasurer’ ; when I come to the bouks, I may find ne explana- tion is needed. ‘The Chair—The books must be ot, and they on the other side would have the right to give any expla- nation they wished. Mr. Shannon—I desire to avoid, ss much as possible, there difficulties between Mr. Monk and the officers of the Art Union. If the books are produced, we willgo on and prove them. ‘The Chair—Very well; call on the treasurer’s books. Mr. Coe—If you call Mr.. Austin on the stand, we shall | eross-examine him. Mr. Shannon—That is the difficulty; if they will merely introduce the books, and state that they are the books of the treasurer of the Art Union, I will accede to it, . The Ubair—Do you call for the book? Mr. Shannon—I do. 4 Mr. Denning—If they. insist upon the product! of the books, and the treaaurer asa witness, we abali reserve the right to cross-examine, stipulate on our part to produce the book. Mr. Shannon, will that do Mr. Shapnon—All I want is production of these books; I call upon Mr. Austin for the books of the trea- surer. Mr. Coe—Thea we call Mr. Austin as our witness. Mr. Austin was then,called. by Mr. Shannon and sworn, and— Mr. Shannon asked—Were you the Treasurer of the Art Union, and if 60, for what years ? A.—I am the Treasurer, and have been since 1846. Q—Are those books now produced, the books of the ‘Treasurer ? A.—They are. Mr. Shasnon—That is all. wish toark. Mr. Denning—Mr. Austin, were those books honestly kept? Ke sannon—t must object. J. did not propose to go into this. Mr. Denning—Then I call for the ruling of the committee. The last witness has gtvan testixony reflecting upon the ebaracter of the Treasurer. Wenow propose to disprove it. Chair—The objection in sustained. The books are not yet in evidence. Mr, Benning—Then the question {s not pertinent. Austin, what threats have you heard Mr Monk make ‘aguinet the institution andthe Committee of Manage ment, ided his bill was not paid? Mr. Sasnen—I object. Obsir to Mr. Denning--You haveonly the right to divmise this witnese and then reeall him, because the plaintiffs _ inthe asi in Fofty-firet street, between Ninth and Mr. | qarrick from bond, a surety for Jobn have not yet rested their case. He is net your witnens ex- | 4ept to cross-examine. The objection is nustained. ir. Coo—Will the committee note this question, and | that it was overruled? Denning—I understand that we cannot question | Mr. ‘thia,witness tilt the other side have exhausted their case. Mr. Clapp—This is clearly their witness, and for you to examine him would be taking the oase out of their hands, Chede—Any further questions? e Mr. Denning—Nething further under tbé present raling. y Avy furtber questions Mr. Shannon? Mr. Shannon.—Not with Mr. Austin. Now, if the Chate pleaces, J offer these books of the Yreasurer in evidence. Chair—Well, what further? Mr. Shannon.—Are the books of the Exeeutive Comwit- tee here? I will ark Mr. Austin one qestion more, as a member of the Executive Committee. | on a division, vin.:— | mann, Bard, Q.—How long have you been a member c¥ the Executive | Committee ?

Higgins, arrived at this port, at three o'clock yesterday afternoon. she left Bremen on the 224, and Southampton on the 27th ult., at 4:20 P. M., and brings dates from London‘of the 27th, and from Havre and Paris to the 25th April. ‘We are indebted to Mr. Alfred Higgins, the gentlemanly purser of the Hermann, for late papers. The Hermann brings 130 passengers, and 600 tons of freight. The passage ef the Hermann was exceedingly boistor ous, she having had heavy winds and high seas all the pasrage. She brings as passengers, Mrs. Redtakay, sister to Kossuth, and her three sons; also, Mr. Duncolton, in charge of the Misses Collins, who have met with great success before the crowned heads of Europe—the one as a planist, and the other as a violinist. We learn that, at midnight, on the 2dof May, the wind light and the sky beautifully:clear, the most re- markable and splendid Aurora Borealis ever beheld in the Atlantic seas, was seen from the decks of the Hermann, stretching from the westward and north toE.8.E.

Nothing was elicited tending te prove that Kosruth bad anything todo with the matter, nor was his connection therewith at all alluded to, The facts of the case have yet to be arrived at, as Mr. Hale, the proprietor, refuses to state for whom he was prepar: ing these munitions of war, ard it is understood that the British government had evidence in its possession that they were being prepared for a revolutionary pucpose, no | foreign government having given orders for them.

THE CONQUEST OF IRELAND COMPLETE. The Galway Packet contains a remarkable article in reference to what it calls ‘the conquest complete” of dreland by the Saxon :— “The Saxon in Ircland may no longer be regarded as a sentimental tourist, sitting on the box-seat of a mail coach, with sketch-book in hand, delineating the physi cal appearance cf the country, and caricaturing the ‘wild Hirish.’ He is now a veritable settler, snugly loca- ted in every romantic spot along our western coast. The fertile farms that have lain waste for the last few years, from which extermination drove the opprested native, and the houses wherein famine seized its victims, are be- ing fast coon ed by English and Scotch settlers. Whether they will, hike the brave old Anglo-Normans, become more Irish than the Irish themselves, and resist the op- pressions that drove forth their he pone) into dea or exile, remains to be reen ; but that some of the fairest ortions of Ireland will shortly be in the actual occupa- ion or under the control of the Saxon, is a fact that can no longer be questioned. Every day Puglish speculatora in Iris! agian Sepd be seen on their way westward in search of suitable homesteads. The facilities afforded by the operation of the Encumbered Estates Court for obtain- ing purebases in fee, have induced English capitalists to look out among us for profitable investments, since Ire- land has been tranquillized by the expatgation and de- struction of the Celt.”” M. Kossuth’s Grievances. in of self-preservat that the exact nature of the right of cleared up, which we have been indi organic institutions of Eng'and afford to political exiles, ual be they dethroned kings or inconspicu- of liberty. We are told, in and out of Parliament, that we live under protection of common laws of England. Now sir, I apprehend it is no easy matter even for Eng- lichmen to know exactly what is English law. Long-for- otten statutes, exhumated for some special occurrence from under the rubbish ef bygone times, render the ae- as te the ebeeeaery Ce er common Aid Cae sinuous. Foreigners cannot be reproached for un- able to know the way of their duties and their rights in that labyrinth. You having been always amongst the foremost to de- fend us spontareously wi we have been wronged, you will excuse me, I hope, for venturing to bring some facts to your notice, and for asking you some questions re- sulting therefrom. Sir, I since: believe that Englishmen mean to be hospitable to political exiles ; but few of you know what sort of hoasialits Rogan affordsto us. Hospitality, in my view, means the admitting a guest to be, at least, on the same terms as the members of the family ; but for- give my saying | feel that I for one am not thus treated. knglishmen are punishablp if they break the law ; but they are not id by 8 qurrounded by political esylonage, and the names of all who visit them hept in a black book. They are not always trembling for the, safe- ty of their letters, and the lives of their correspondents, or of the innocent men whose names yay be mention in their private memorandums. Lavow my responsibility to the laws of Englishmen, and have not dreamed to ask more than English freedom while on your shores. But under the pretence of preven- tion (an especially despotic ples), it Bn re Tam beset by agencies which all true-bearted Eng ish men hate, and which, if applied to any of you, would, I believe, rouse your indignation. Of course, I correspond with my friends, many of whom are suffering under lawless oppression, but such correspondence is no breach of your laws; nevertheless, I live in daily terror lest, in waking some morning, I find that my writing-desh has been torn open, and my private memorandums rifled by virtue of a search warrant, ob- tained by, I know not what one-sided ¢eposition, from a recret, exponsible tribunal, Jike that cf the inquisi- tion, obtained by anonymous accusation, the charge and the judge being unknown to me. I ay I live in daily terror lest, by such eeizure of my private papers, inno- cent friends betrayed to Austrian vengeance. Enog- lishmen would not endure sach » state of law as applica- ble to themselves; but it seems you have exceptional laws against foreigners, which turn your hospitality to exiles possibly into a cruel tray Do you say “not possibly?” Do you aseure mo that this power, ugh committed to your ministry, eertain- ly will not be used ? Fxeuse some anxiety in me, who have read how the brothers Bandeira were betrayed; and have recently seen, in the care of an Englishman, how—without any of law, where accuser and secused meet faee to fuce— any plea of searching for ganpowder may be used in order to rife my desk and off my trunks and papers. What is to hinder rome marked accuser from whisperin, romething, which by virtue of ‘‘reasons of State” iqite fies a burglary on my bouse, and puts the lives of my correspondents into barard, for 00 imaginable breach of your laws—men who have never come within the sphere of English law at all? These fears are not unfounded on fact. Listen yet a little, sir, Mz. Dunford, printer and stetioner, residing at Notting-Hill. gives me the following information:— While Lora Derby was still prime minister, men from the detective police, in in hes, were appointed to watch my house at Ni ill, and take the number of every cab which came to the door. The late ministry having left office they were witbarawn. But « short time after the debates in the House of Lords about the refugees, previous to which your Home Secretary de- clared in the House of Commons, with loud applause, tbat ‘it iano part of the duty of an English government to provide for the safety of foreign governments,” ne- coring to Mr. Drummond’s positive knowledge, the de- tective police not only made their appoarance again aboutmy house, but he has full reason to believe that there was almost one policeman for every person who visited my house; and he asserts to know that they had orders to mark every such person, and even to take,» cabriolet, if necessary, to follow the visiter wherever he went, i Furthermore, Mr. Dunford informs me that, upon the occarien of iny’ removing from my late residence at Not- ting-Hill, to that which I at present occupy in Alpha road, ark, one of the dectective police, in the dis- guise of a laboring man, and upon the plea that he was person employed to remove my furniture, and in this Character assisted in its removal, thus having free access to my house, adopting what I'am certain you, sir, would pronounce a'bare means of becoming acquainted with my | private affairs. | The earman himself, having too late learned the mat- ter, has felt so asbamed, and revolted in his plain, hoa- | est Englirh heart, at being made a teol itso bases plot, | that he never called for payment of his bill, #0 thet, bav: | ing waited for a considerable time in vain, I was under | the necensity of rebding to search him out and pay him | his money.

Professor Wilson is favorably known to the public from the attention which he has paid to scientific agriculture, and it may be antici- pated that at New York he will find the materials for tmuch useful information to his own countrymen in that and kindred branches of knowledge. The appointment of Mr. Walsis also is a judicious one. He was one of the most valuable and active officers souieven in Hyde Park in 1851, and, apart altogether from his scquirements as a teacher of the first principles of practical art, he has a rare and ¢ ‘@:quaintance with the merits of tex- tile fabries in every branch of their manufacture.

The commission goes to America carrying with it souveniré of the display of 1851, with which all its members have been intimately asso ciated. It inaccredited neither to the committee of the New York exhibition nor to the government, for the for- mer is a private commercial body which this caunt could not officially sckeyonloigs, and the latter only in rectly patronives the “undertaking. It has, howe: ample powers and a usefal and dignified mission. charged with the duty of representing the industrial of England at the forthcoming display, and of re- porting, in an suthoritstive manner, upon the results thereof. The government have have issued it upon the suggestion of the Surplus Commissioners, and they have further shown their zeal in the matter by gotting reveral of the chief departments of the State to contribute. The ordnance, the admiralty, the mint, and the board of trade, throngh its school of mines, intend to send articles for exhibition ; and it is worthy of remark that, littleas we may show, compared with the constituted authorities of other Euro) communities, we have done far more as @ body politic for the New York exhi- bition than we did for our own. In Hyde Park the government showed itself chiefly active in snubbin, the royal commission and worrying it, through Lor Seymour. Dr. Royle is busily ‘en, in selecting, on the part of the East ia Company, a brilliant show of Oriental manufactures where- with to dazzle the Western world. About 800 British exhibitors, comprising the leading houses in important departments of our national industry, have sent eontri- butions. Our artists are admitted also to the field of competition which embraces paintings, and among the champions of national Bushy is included the name of the Duke of Bucoleugh, ring the extent to which other European States as well as our own intend support- ing the approaching Exhibition, it is = matter of some surprise that the building in which the display takes place is one of such dimensions. The atte upon which it stands is not more than five hundred feet square, and the structure itself has been already supplemented by additions for machinery. We Londoners grumble at the want of space available for such objects, and the surplus of the late Exhibition has been sunk in one lump sum to secure more elbow-room for our public institutions ; but um Fibaed Lida: eto continent fa the the seems still more sev felt, and appear there to have been driven iatow situation not mivch teers convenient — at ? one niean nenvemplated for the splay |, when it was serio posed to hold it in fae saare.

Mario at the Royal Italian Opera. [from the London Times, April 27.} ‘The first appearance of Mario breught another over- flowing audience to the theatre last night The oj was Bellini’s ‘I Puritani.”’ It was in ‘“Arturo’’ that Mario made his earliest rey they upon the English bee! He was Rubini’s legitimate follower in the part. hough at first decidedly inferior to his celebrated pre- decessor, in the process of time his improvement was 0 remarkable that, in the general opinion of eonnois- seurs, the “Arturo” of Mario in many Apel equalled, sndhin some even surpassed, that of Rubinl, j How great has been Mario’s progress of late years need not be told. As an. actor, he has attained an eminence to which few tevors on the Italian stage haveever aspired; wl though he canzot challenge comparison with Rubini as a bravura singer, or as ® master of ornament or jfiorituri, hehas acquired & perfection im the art of phiasing, command cf vocal declamation, and what may be jastly termed a manliness of style, to which, with all his ac- complishments, Rubini could red lay claim. Those qualities, united to a voice which-has rarely been a proached in richness of tone, and a person singularly well adapted to the purj of seenic illusion, have helped Mario to the pocition he now maintains as one of the most admirable dramatic singers ef whom the history of the art makes mention. The reception given to Mario by the audience last night, was such as is only accorded to a special favorite. The applau: tinued for some minutes, until it was, at length, hushed by those anxious to bear the “A te o cara.’ The manner in which the first stanza of this re- nowned quartet was delivered by the great tenor, prove, to the satisfaction of the audience, that the keen wizds of Russia had not frozen up the springs whence the melody is drawn that imparts such power and beauty to his voice. It was sung by Mario in Mario’s best style; and the result was an unanimous encore for the quartet, the second stanza of which was repeated. Throughout the whole of the first act. the singing of Mario was worthy of his reputation. In fthe duet§with Henrietts, his de- livery of the passage, salva, o sventurata ’— where Arturo vows to save the Queen at the risk of his life—was full of passion; while in that where Arturo de- fies his rival, Ricardo, acting was as dignified and noble as bis si was instinct with sentiment. In the econd act Arturo not appear; but, in the third, the beautiful air, “Cerca il sonnoa notte,” and the well known phrase, ‘ Vienifra le mie braccia,’’ in the last Elvira, gave two more opportunities to Mario, of which he took ampleadvantage. A slight abuse of the falsetto tonés might have been objected to in the air; bat this was more than redeemed by the exquisite feeling and refined expression of the whole. At the conclusion, was recalled upon the stage, and enthuriastically ap- lauded. It is of no slight eonsequence to the Italian pera that so great a favorite bas come back in the en- tire posression of those resources to which the theatre has indebted for so many of ita successes. Mde. Bosio appeared last season in the part of Fivira, and was greatly admired. The music which Bellini bas alloted to the heroine is extremely well suited to this lady’s voice and means. While in other operas she has been readily acknowledged as a vocalist of more than com- mon aceomplithments, {2 the ‘Puritani” she almost tives to the highest rank. Her performanes last night revived the favorable impression previously ereated. Her singing was finished and artictie throughout, aud in the favorite polacca, ‘‘Son Vergin Vewosa,” she created s real furore The facility with which she executed the florid parsages was not less to be edmired than the agree able freshness of her voice, more particularly in the higher tones, which were produced, for the most part, with an gase and certainty of intonation that endowed them with a special charm. In the popular air, ‘ Qui la Voce,” the qualities we have eulogized were united to the still ‘rarer one of expression ; and after the cabaleita, “Vien, Diletto,” which was executed with great brillian: ey, althongh a little too slowly, Mde. Bosio was deservedly honored by s recall. An occasional tendency to sharp- ness of intonation was the only drawbick to Mde Bosio’s performance. This is worth the most arduous study to conquer, since, until it is eradicated, perfection is impos- sible. The Giorgio of Formes and the Riceardo of Ron- coni were worthy of the “Paritani”’ in the meridian of its popularity. The famous duct, which terminates with the noiay cabeletta, “Suoni la Tromba,” cou'd hardly have been ter sung; and it was not the less pleasant from the absonce of that roiciferation which many singers consider indispensable to the ebaracter of the morceau, but whien may, nevertheless, be dispensed with to ad vantage, Malle. Bellini took commendable pains with the sinail. but not unimportant, part of Henrietta; and Polonini’s Walton was, as usual, careful and correct. The opera was received with the warmest applause from Degivning to end. test of institutions. Mr. Dunford I kave reason to believe a respectable and | hororableman.
