TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. New Yor, June 20, 1853. Sm :—In your paper of last Saturday you published the translation of a letter, from the Spanish Consul ia this city (o the political Secretary of the General goverament at Havana, concerning personally Mr. Ladeveze. My friendship for that gentleman, and the respect due to his character, have prompted me to investigate the ease, and Tenciose to you a translation of my correspondence on the subject with the consu! of Her Majesty. I dare expect from your impartiality the insertion of this correspond- ence in one of your fist numbers. With due respect your obedient servant, A. X. SAN MARTIN. New York. Delmonico’s Hotel, June l4ta, 1833. To F. Srovanros, Fsq., Coxsvt or Her Masesry, | mance. 4 eaper of this city, entitled “Fl Filibus- | tero,”” has publishea, anu UtOe: ~wapspers have trans- lated and copied a communication from you to Mr. Mar, tin Galiano Enriquez de Navarro, late political Secretary of the General Government of Cubs, dated May 15, 1852, in which you refer to information given by Mr. Ladeveze, relating to persone implicated in the society of the “Lone } scar,” and the movements of this country against the | rights of our nation in the island of Cuba. The toxt of that communication seems to indicate a confidential and private character,in the information of Mr. Ladeveze, und conrequently, a participation of that gentleman in the political and official tendency’ which might be given to it by your authority; and the effwcts of that character could iot fail to be repugnant to the free frank and dis creetly impartial position of Mr. Ladeveze. In order tha« his name may ot be impaired by suspi- cion, fuch_a# could only proceed from those persons igoorant of his principles aud sentiments of honor and | delicacy, which are well knowa to me and all his numer- ous friends, I have requested his permission to ask you the following questions, which I desire you to aaswer categorically :— | 1. Are the contents of the adjoined printed communi- cation from you to Mr. Galiano, authentic? 2. Were the statements to which you refer as received from Mr.Ladeveza, communicated by that gentleman in the office of La Cronica, in open conversation, and in the | presence of several persons who took part ia'it, with re. ference to public reports, and news of the day, and with- out the least shadow of rese:ve or mystery? 3. Is it certain that the information to which you | refer as received at the latest hour was given by Mc. | Ladeveze, and by Mevsrs. Maucel de la Peas y Cagigao and Eugene Derbilly, in your office, with the same oen ard unreserved character? | lam aesured that the letter which was deliveredgo you by Mr. Ladeveze, was given to him for that pur, in the presence of Messrs. Pena and Derbilly. Iam assured that, while Mr. Ladevege wa» ecgaged in his own affairs, he met those geutiemen, and baving entered into conver- ration with them about the news of the day, and the names which you quote, they proposed, in a moment of hilarity, to proceed to your office, where the first words with which they addressed you were: “Troy is going to be buried—the day of judgment is coming,” or some like expressions. Although I was absent in Europe at that time, I have carefully arcertained ‘hese facts, in order to call them to your recollecuion. and ask of you the confirmation of | them as an act of justice due to Mr. Ladeveze. Awaiting your reply, I am, sincerely. &¢., A, X. SAN MARTIN DE BAZAN. To A. X. San MARTIN DE Bazan, Delmonico’s Hotel, New York, June 18, 1863, My Dear Sm—At ten to-day I reevived yours of this date, to which I have not been able soonsr to reply. It is true that Mr. Ladeveze, on the occasion to which your inquiries xefer, and on another occasion, always poke to me openly and without any kind of reserve, commonly in the office of La Cronica, where I have been accustomed to go, as you know, to read the European parers on mail days. ‘Tbe printed commnnication which you enclose to me, addressed to me by Mr. Galiano on the 15th of May, 1862, agrees exactly with the minute of the raid communica- tion, which is in my possession, and which I have just compared. I sery well remember that when Mr. Ladevere delivered to me the Jetter mentioned in my communication, in the mapper alinded to by you, and in company with Mr, Pena and one or two persons unknown to me they re- signified by the expressions reeslled by you, or similar | ones, the news and names whieh appear in my communt- cation, and which, as I afterwards saw, were known to everybody. Thope this reply will amply eatisfy your inquiry, and | you are at liberty to use it for such purposes aa you way think proper; and I further assure yon that I have never | received From Mr. Ladevere any information or notice | whatever of a reserved or confidential character, for | there are, as you must know, for the agents of her Majes- | ty abundance of loyal Spaniards, and means of watching | for the rafety and integrity of her rights.

Deponent asked which was Leonori, and was pointed to a person who provei to be a foreigner, and whose conversation evinced that, however litule be kuew of our lapguage, he knew much Jess of our country, snd especially of bavking insti‘a- dona, Deponent tsked Lecnorl why he had libeled this Dank in the State of Connecticut ; Leonori replied, © be- cause he was opposed to all Safety Fund banka,” thus be- traying his ignorance and incapacity to publish a “ Bank Note List,” sizes there neither is, and never was, a Safety Fund bank in the State of Connecticut.

Another terrible railroad accident occurred on the Michigan Southern and Northern and Indiana Railroad on Wednesday evening, about twelve miles east of Laporte. The fireman, George Mortoa, of Monroe, Mich., was instantly killed, but all the others escaped scrious injury. Two of the passen- gers in the front second class cars received afew slight scratches, but none of the others were injured. The engineer, recently from Manchester, N. H., had his head cut considerably, and his arms were some- what injured, but he was able to ride to Laporte yes- terday. It is thought he will soon recover. The ac- cident occurred to the train going east, which Jeft here on penstey evening at 9 o'clock. The cause of the calamity, as given by Mr. Cameron, conductor of the train coming west, was as fol- ows: A large oak tree, three feet in diameter, had | fallen directly across the track. Some twenty feet from the ground it divided into two very large branches. These lay ou the track. The “ cow-catcher” strack one of these branches, | ran under it, and then under one of the cross ties, and the locomotive turned a complete somerset, and lay exactly upside down. The fireman was thrown under the engine, and was instantly killed. The en- | was relatively in his place, having escaped jeath by being near the boiler, which prevented the other parts of the engine from crushing him. The tender also turned a somerset over the engine, and lay upside down several feet ahead of it. The bag- gage car was thrown from the track, and was con- siderably smashed. The second class passenger car was thrown from the track and lay upon its side, aud it is wonderful that the passengers in it escaped with so little injury. There were four first class passen- er cars. The forward oue was considerably bro- en, the next two very little, and the last one entire- ly escaped injury. ‘Wasnington Items, [From the Republic, June 20] A Warsinc to Yourn.—Daniel T.

These boats are to be built at Buffalo, so that they may be finished in time to take their places on the North Shore route by the first of April, which is the period set for them to be ready for servi t@ publte officers, one after another, until be had found ene capable of being corrupted, Actempte like these would be constantly made unless the party should know that, if be failed in the attempt, he would be Uable to indictmeut and punishment on the complaint of the psrson whom he thas approached. ‘The counsel «nforced this view by various illustrations, On the part of the District Attorney it was contended, on the other band, that although it was a crime at the corunon law in & person who should bribe or attempt to brive a judicial officer, yet that the crime of bribery was applicable only to this class of officers, with perhaps one or two exceptions. but that at common law the attempt to bribe @ manteipal officer, in respect to his corporate powers, was not ® crime, sod that, therefore, as the wines could not be subjected to punishment for such ap offenee, the common jaw did not excuse him from ansy ering the inquiry. ‘the Recorder, in ‘consideration of the importance of this question, has bestowed great attention upon it, and \t is understood that he has decided to the fall extent of the proposttion contended for by Mr. Stoughton. Hold- | ing tust the same reason which made bribery a crime in che eave of any jucicial officer, is fully, applicable to any otker public officer; and he therefore held that Mr. Toslur was exempt from answering the inquiries pro- pounded to him, y be well to add that the principle contended for decided by the Recorder is one of paramount ine po and cannot fail when made known to pre- veut the commission of the offence of bribery or any at- yempt to commit it. ur. Taylor expressed himself enttrely willing’to answer ihe questions proposed, provided the views contended for b, bos counsel should not be sustained. Court of General Sessions.

Jexe 21 — Habeas Corpus ~Mr. Michsel Doheny applied on tebalf of Devid Rares fora writ ct habeas corpns for FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, MONEY MARKET. ‘Turspay, June 21—6 P. M. There was considerable activity in the stock market this morning, notwithstanding the oppressive weather. With the thermometer varying between ninety-five and one hundred degrees, it is very dificult to get up much of an excitement in fancy stocks. Wall street 1s, with- out doubt, the hottest place in the city; and it is almost imposaible to keep cool, even by keeping perfoctly quiet. At the first board to-day there was quite an active de- mand for nearly all the most prominent fancies, at prices corresponding pretty nearly with those current at the close yesterday. The tendency, however, was downward, and sales were made at a slight decline. New Jersey Zine fell off 34 ver cent; Cumberland, +; Erie Railroad, 14; Harlem, 34; Reading Railroad, {. Parker Vein im. proved one per cent on prices ruling at the first board yesterday, ‘There were large sales of Parker Vein to-day at the ad- vance, both at the first and second boards. Most of the transactions were for cash, The assets of this company comprise seven thousand acres of the best coal land in George’s Creek Valley, seventeen hundred acres of which is the workable big vein, and ten steamers, which form the tri-weekly line between this city and Baltimore. Those steamers are doing a very heavy general freighting business, which prevents the company from bringing to market sufficient quantities of its own coal. About 250 tons are daily shipped from the mines. The facilities tbis company already possess for doing business should give ite stock a higher value in the market, and will, as soon at its position and prospects are more generally un. derstood, ‘The doubt about the dividend on Erie Railroad stock has already sensibly affected the market price of shares. ‘The dividend commitee is all divided on the question. Two are known to be in favor of @ full cash dividend, two in favor ef ne dividend in any shape, and one in favor of « stock dividend. We do not see how the company, in view of the effect in Europe of a suspension upon the cha. racter of American securities generally, can hesitate a moment. There ix but one way to sustain the credit of our stocks abroad, and that is by prompt payment of dividends, and all other obligations, at maturity. It is estimated that about five miliions of the convertible | bonds of the Erie Railroad Company are held in Europe, ‘The non-payment of a dividend on the stock would send home a large portion of the amount, and injurionsly eifect railroad bonds of other companies, which have been nego- tiated abroad. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port today amounted to $124,375 31; payments, $67,152 06—balance, $7,948,647 42. The balance is steadily accumulating. It is now nearer eight millions than it ever was before. ‘The sales at the minirg board to-day were as follows:— 700 shs. Fulton Copper.. 50 “ MeCullock. 530, oe 50‘ McCallock Gold & Copper. 5 100 qo. 5 do. bi 536 Mr. S. Draper sold at the Exchange to-day one hun" dred tons of copper ore from the McCullock Mine of North Carolina at the following prices :— £0 tons about 30 per cent copper ore at $5 per each per cent. 50 tons about 20 per cont do. at $4 20 do. The thirty per cent copper of this company 1s the most valuable ore uf the kind mined, It is much more easily, and therefore much more profitably bly worked than any of the coprer ore found in the Lake Superior mines. It is much wanted by smelters, as it contains materia! actually necessary to answer a proper flux. It is much more productive to miners than the native copper of the celebrated Clif and Minesota copper mines of Lake Superior. Dr. Kenyon, of the smelting establi-hment of Baltimore, offers te take all the thirty per cent copper ore of this company they ean deliver at the works, as that isa more favorable point for deli- very. His offer may be accepted, The demand here is 60 active, and this quality of ore is so desirable, that the company will probably be able to offer another hundred tons at auction in this market, on or about the 15th of July proximo, At the second board the market was weak and an- settled. The closing prices show a decline in Nicaragua of 3 per cent; Parker Vein 44; Erie Railroad %{; Com- berland, {. MeCullock gold advanced 34 per cent. ‘The Irving Bank has declared a dividend of three and a half per cent. ‘The Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company have declared a semi-annual dividend of five per cent. ‘We call attention to the sale, of Galena and Chicago Union Railroad bonds, advertised by Mesars. Wadsworth and Sheldon, to take place on Saturday, the 25th instant. ‘The Galena and Chicago Union Railroad Company com. menced the construction of their road at a time when the right of way, depot grounds, railroad iron, and other materials and labor, were obtained at rates ranging from twenty-five to fifty per cent below the present value. The first five thousand tons of rails imported for the com- pany cost, laid down in New York, $35 per ton, whilet the present value is about $70 per ton. The depot grounds in Chicago were purchased at, probably, $100,000 less than the same grounds could be now obtained for, and the right of way was toa great extent obtained without cost. All circumstances operated favorable to a cheap construction of the road; and it is safe to calculate that @ road over the same country could not now be constructed at a cost less than thirty to forty per cent over the actual cost of this road.
