SPBOIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NUW YORK NERALD. Aupany, June 8, 1853, The Committee of Conference of the two houses, ap- pointed te take in considcration the differences existing upom the Canal question, held a meeting this morning. No other persons were prevent. By whisperings about ‘the Capitol, it appears that the meeting was a very cor- Gial and affectionate one, taking in consideration the per: fect misunderstanding that has existed between the two houses of the Legislature ever since the commencement of the regular session in Jaousry last. Tue committee, after a session of an hour, adjourned till 7 o'clock this evening, when they again acsembled in secret. Some of the outsiders think they will agree upon a report con- taining the essential features of the Vanderbilt plan, with Mr. Hadley’s amendment, declaring the contracts of 1851 positively invalid. Every true friend of the canals will agree in this arran; ¢, In the early part of the day it was anticipated that the committee would be able to te-morrow morning, but that is now doubt‘ul. the House, Mr. Russi!

In the course of his remarks, happening to say that the inquisition was extended to Ireland by the influence of ribbonism, a msn in the body ofthe church exclaimed, ‘That's. lie.” This appeared to bea signal for a large party of rowdies which was grthered outside the church. A shower of stones firet came rattling through the windows, and then an infuriated crowd, ed with sticks and stones, rushed into the church and attacked Gavazzi in the pulpit, trying to pull him out. ‘The lecturer defended himself with great coolness and courage, knocking down several of his assailants, first with a chair, and afterwards when deprived of that, with the pulpit bench, which he tore up for the purpose.” He was at length thrown from the pulpit by one of the nts, who got hold of his legs and pitched him over: A further struggle ensued on the floor underneath, waen the lecturer was fivally rescued by his friends. The padre wan not seriously injured, but his secre'ary way very badly beaten. Eeveral Isdies and gentleman of the audience were like. wise injured. A purty of soldiers were detached to the scene, and on arrivibg quelled the disturbance and cleared the house. ‘The mob afterwards went to the Parliament Housa, and called for a member named Brown, who has made himself obpoxious to the Catholics, and afver menacing him with their vengeance, left for the lower town. Quenso, Jie 8—P. M. Father Gavazzi left here quietly to night. There was some appearance last night of a design to attack the hotel where he was stsying, but the precau- tions of the authorities prevented it. His Secretary is out of danger.

ARRIVAL OF THE PROM ‘The steamship Pro.”¢theus arrived this morning with the details of the Caiffo."0's intelligence to the 16th ult. ‘The most interesting por (on of her news will be pub lished in our sfternoon edition, and the full details to- morrow morning. a THREATENED WAR BETWEEN THE NICARAGUA BOAT- MEN AND THE CALIFORNIA PASSENGERS. ‘We are in receipt of news from San Juan del Sur to the 2d of May. At that time the United States sloop-of-war Portsmouth ‘was in port, and all on board were well. Considerable excitement prevailed on the 28d ultimo, in consequence of the passeogers, five hundred in num ber, all refusing to pay the exorbitant charge of the boat- men there, for ing them from the beach to the steam- er, some two hundred yards distance. It appears that the agent of the compaoy assumed the responsibility of offering the boatmen, on ‘bebalf of the passengers, half what they demanded, which they re- fused indigvantly, and threatened to destroy the boats of the steamer, ifany attempt were made by them to carry off the parsengers. The agent then applied to Captain Dornin, the oom- mander of the Portsmouth, who immediately ordered all his marines to be sent on shore, as the authorities up to that time had made no show of preventing the disturb ance which was fast breaing. On Captain Dornin’s land- ing. the pa: cengers, who were in a state of great excite ment, immediately appealed to him, when he quieted them’ by assurances that he would ses them safely placed on the steamer. As soon as the Portsmouth’s boats, with the marines on bonrd, reached the shore, Capt. Dornin, finding the Doatmen were not likely to desist and seeing no soldiers of tre place at hand to preserve peace, ordered his men to land and form on the beaeh. This step appeared to stir up so much umbrege ia the authorition, that Capt, Dornin told them if they would pledge themselves to pisce force enough on the beach, to t disturbances, ¢ would withdraw his troops, which they readily did, and the marines were withdrawn. Mean hile Capt. Dornia, with his well known gallantry, bad embarked all the women and children in his owa boats, and sent them on board the steamer; and under the supervision of himself and officers, the steamer’s boats efterwards carried off the remainivg passengersand thelr beggego uomolested, thus cutting the boatmen out of a modera'e day’s work, throngh their own ob:tinacy. After all the passengers were safely embarked, Capt. Dornin then proceeded on board the steamer, to see that all the baggage was received, and that everything was right. On leaving the vessel. he was ited with three hearty cheere by the passengers, which were returned by the Portsmouth. Later from Saint Domingo PREPARATIONS FOR WAR -VISIT OF A SPANISH VESSEL OF WAR—CELEBRATION OF THE RATIFI- CATION OF THE TREATY WITH FRANCE. We have received files of El Progreso, published in Saint Domingo, extending up to the Ist of May. It seems that the Dominicans are preparing against any invasion that Soulouque might meditate on their territory. The Progreso says on this point:— Last week a vessel of war left our port for Agua, loaded with muskets ond Caged kind of ammunition, for the Southern Centon. The President liberator had already Gesratched two cthers to Port de Plata, for the purpose of supplying the northern frontiers with whatever may be necessary to repel an invasion. Without his tadefa gable activity our destiny would be mach compromised in the event of a surprise; for there were bat mea in the Canton of Matas, and but a single man garrisoned feck po of Cejuil, which is an advanced guard of no small consequence, We are ipfinitely grateful for the generous conduct of the mediative nations; but we are making «Jl the efforts which patriotism dictates, and we confess that above all the conduct of the liberator is most judicious and avsuring. . he most conclusive argument agaiost force is force itseif. Thus the liberator has comprehended it, and therefore he has seeured the destiny of his country by hae he of his measures and the overge of his reso- lutions. For this. in the plains of Agus aad of the Car- reras, and in the Canton of Guallubin, he has opposed, to the wost inidious policy, anc to the most unjust agzres- sion, the respeetable law of repulsive force, the dialectic of the sabre, the reasovings and the resolutions of au ea- campment, The Spanish brigantine of war, Scission, under the com- mard of Dor Carlos Valearcel, bad arrived at Saint Do- mingo from Porto Rico, for the purpose of felicitutiag the President of the republic ia the name of Her Catholic Majesty. ‘ihe Progreso saya “it ia very agreeable tor Liominicans to see floating on their sbores the flag of friendly nation, and to see pass through their streets the sons of a fraternal people of waom our fathers have told us+omuch” The brigantine was :0on to set sail for Ha- vana.

Mr, Fullerton: then called John Hossey, who deposed that he lives in Villary stiect, Brooklyn ;T am’a boot weker; I came to this country with Captain Molony, ia the sbip Rosclus, in January last; ¥ kaew the boy on board called the Freneb boy. ged ting objected, Mr. Fullerton said he had denied’ having been tied up and fogged. The Judge said that thet was not on his direct testimo- ny. The rule is that you eannot, upon the eross-examin- aiion, put questions to a witness’ to test his credibility, and afterwards contradict him. You may contradict hia as to an; thing Le swore to in hia direct testimocy. If it were otherwise there would. be ne end to trials, there would be so many collateral issues. Mr. Fullerton said that the ¥rench boy had sworn that Captain Molony was the best auékindest Captain that evec sailed on sal: water. We desire now to prove that he was flogged and tied in the rigging. r. Huffman submitted that they could not contradict the boy with regerd to a fact, without involving an in- Fe A discussion arose as to the admissibility of the ques- tion, and the Judge ruled it out. Witness continued—All I know of Captain Molony' was during my passage in the Roscius. Mr. Fullerton—! now propose to ark this witness the general character of Captaic eerie Judge—Is that all you know of Captain Molony, during your voyage on the Roscius? . Wee, sir, Juége—Then that is hardly sufficient. ‘The witners was thea desired 10 leave the stand. Jobn Sulley was then called, Mr. Cutting said he had two objections to this witness. The first was, that when the Court gave directions that the witnesses for the proxecution should withdraw during the examination of the other witnesses, Mr. Sulley, after this order, rematved in court during the examination of the witnesses for the prosechtion and defence, The next objection is, that Mr. Sulley was here attending court under the bn eed of the prosecution, and they should bave €xemined him before they rented their case Yo chi: He was here present aud might have been ca'led; and was in court during the examivation of the witnesse: git, Folierion said he did noe. propose to open the case je novo. ‘The Judge—We ha better see what the prosecution in- tend to prove.

Mr. Cutting again interposed his objection, The prose- caution should have gone into that before they closed theic care He eubmitted that thia was not replying evidence, and the Court sbould not permit him (the wituess) to depore to the main facts of the case. Mir Hoffman al-o coutended that in all caves the prose- cution was bound to couclude before the defendant be: gins, but more particularly so in criminal eases; and he referred to nome ensea so deci’ed when his Honor Juégs Nelsou was presiding in the Supreme Court ‘The Judge raic that be agreed that it is the duty of tha grvernment, co farus the making out of cheir case, to produce a) the te-timony they have, and after the de fence is gone into they have uo right to streagthen their case by calling orher witzesses.

Mr. Cuttirg objected, The Judge ruled that the ques tion was too méetivite—State what he said. itn I did vot sea the doctor cut the hair from Emonuel’s head; if he had done it I must have seen it Q — Did he rsmove the scalp and lay bare the skull ? A.—- Not tbat I saw; it he did it I must bave seen it; I was in. mediately over the body; I did nut see any of his ia- struments there at all; after the decor left the steward brought up « folded sheet, in which I sewed him up: ove or more of ths b:ys brought up stoues, und before I buried him I went down and reported to the captaia; I bud not left whe roem before that; the doctor only case into the room ovee, when he came to examine the body; it might bave happened before; that is only what I saw; I }e't Emanuet before that seized up to the cavits.
