The hotel there is being essentially enlarged, and we found the table set with substan- tial fare, such as is most acceptable after walks or rides on the beach. A for the maguificent beach, of miles in length, that we found t we hiv: hardly terms in which to speak of L, is the admiration of all who visit it. The b raves that come thundering in, breaking upon the bathers, lifting them off their ‘eet, bot without risk, are wortby the study of hours. This bathing place is well known, and deserves celebrity from all. The dressing-houses are scattered along the beech, acd the indefatigable Clemens has “pitched his tent” there, and in his suug qua:ters, where refreshmeuts | may be had, he al-o keeps bithing dresses, at a | trifling fee, for tho-e who want. We recommend Old Orchard Beach us fiue resort, among tue mavy others our State affords. { [Correspondence of the Columthus (Geo.)

The happy in the course of a single season was his entire restoration to health.

NINTH Day. Powapgersia, Saturday, July 15, 1554. The Court met according to adjournment, when the record of yesterday was read and approved. John 8. Gulick, Purser of the Jamestowo, wis , recalled, and resnmed his testimony: — T have been offered liberal euths of money by St. ' Clair for the privilege of farnishing the ship with provisions, during the seige of Buenos Ayres; he offered, if I would get him the privilege, t faraish the ship free of charge, and ulso give me money ; his proposition was not entertained by me fora moment ; I think I informed Capt. Downing of the offer made to me; if he (St. Clair) obtained per- ' mission to take provisions iuto the town, he could sell them at a very high price, as they were held at enormous rates at that time; the charge for the beef furnished by bim was six cents and a fraction per pound, which was thought » fair price for beef | delivered alongtide; but this was not the price ' either outside or inside ; I cannot say that I saw bis boat, except when coming with provisions to the ship, when it was under the American flag; I do not know that it went anywhere else, although I heard so; Cvuc visited the ship the squadron foing over, once to my knowledge ; this visit was made to the cap- tain; but be came into the ward-room while there, to pay his respects to the ward-room officers; I know not that Canfield ever came on board the Jamestown; I heard, a8 common report, that Hale was the sgent of the city government of Buenos Ayres, aud wae the mau who paid over the money for the squadrou; Ido not kuow that he brougit any money on board the ship; Dowsing told me that the mopey on board belouged to indivi- duals in Buenos Ayres, aud waa sent ghere for safe keeping; while I wis at Bucnos Ayroa, I was fear- ful that difficulties might arise, in the complicated state of affairs, and J talked about public matters a4 little as possitle; | did uot refrain from observation porpotely. Opportunity was here given to the accused to usk further questiona of the witness, and his replies were, in substance, us tollows:—I do not recollect what the accused said when I informed him of St. Clair’s offer; it was about, or immedi- ately after the time that St. Olair was engaged; itold St.Clarto furnish the ship with beet, &e., by orders from Captain Downing; when Coe visited the ship he was in uniform, ani was ae i luted; Hale was an American, and a merchant. The witness here concluded his testimony, bat was ordered to keep himsel: in communication with the Judge Advocate, in case be was further wanted, Hon, Robert C. Schenck, late U.S. Minister at Brazil, was next called as a wituess, and deposed as follows:--From 151 to 1854, 1 wis Minister and Fo- vey to the Court of Brazii; and also, during of the time, under instructions from the President of the United State=, proceeded to neg tiate and con- clude treaties with the Oriental Republic of Ura- guay and the Argentine Coufederation, and the Re- pub ic of Paraguay. Inthe special mission to the Ist named governnients, | was associated with Mr. Pendleton, then Charge d’ Affaires to the Argentine Confederation, In May, 1853, 1 proceeded, for the the second time, to Buenos Ayres, [ found the city, on my arrival, beseiged by land, and blockaded on the river side. The squadron of the Argentine Confederation, unier command of Commodore Coe, was lying in the river, maintaining tbe blockade, The squadron of Buenos Ayres was also lying before the city, but closer in shore. During the close of the month of June, a report was cur- rent in Buenos Ayres that Com. Coe intended to be- tray and surrender bis fleet to the inside party; or, in other words, to pass over with his vessels, and joio the Buenos Ayrean squadron. It was under- stood and stated that for this detection he was to rective some Jurge sum of money from the inside goverpment. Mahy rumora and reports were in cir- culation as to the negotiations supposed to be going op between him aad the authorities of Buenos Ayres or their agents. Two or three duys before he ac- tually passed over, it was so generally aader- in the city that bets were offered as to the very day and hour when the vessels might be seen eomirg in. I remember hearing @ wager offered by a member of the inside party, on the evening of the 19th or 20th of June, that Coe would come over the next morning. On the morning ufter, it was under- stood that ove of the vessels of Coe’s squadron had come in and anchor+d during the uigat or early in the morning. It ro happened on that morning Mr. Pendleton, Lieut. Page and myself, had engazed to | & upon an excursion, in on: of the boats of the Vater Witch, a short gistance up the river. When we reached the wharf or shore, where # boat was waiting to take us first to the Water Witch, we dis- covered that one of Coe’s vessels bad come over and anchored Inside. We proceeded from the Water Witch up the river, and did not return till late in the afterncon or evening. As we approached the Water Witch, and when we came in sight of the city and of the vessels in the harbor, a sou of Captain Page attracted our attention to the fact that another of Coe’s vessels, a steamer, had her steam Feo was coming into the inner roads. We had all been on the lookout as we approached, to see whether we cou'd discover any change or move- ment of Coe’s squadron since morning, We went on board the Water Witch, and a few minutes afterwaids, while below, taking some refreshments, some one—I think Lieutenant Donaldson, first officer of the Water Witch— came down, and called us to come and see that the Test of Coc’s squadron was going over to the inside; I went upon deck, snd saw e me of the vessels moving in; among the rest one of the steamers—the Eutaw, I think—paseed very near the Water Witch; these vessels were received with cheers by the crews Of the inside squadron. Among the vessels that went over that night was the flag ship of Com- modore Coe; I know nothing, of my own personal knowledge, of the passing of Coe from his ship to the Jamestown; the next morning it was under- stood on sbore that Coe was on board the James- town; this was the occasion of surprise, regret and indignation on the of the ‘official representa- tives of the United States, and of many other Americans in the city. It was felt that the henor of our flag might be considered as implicated dis- gracefully io Anes trensaction, ia consultation be- tween Mr. Pendleton and myself, aud perhaps also Mr. Gruham, the Consal. It was con- cluded to be proper that some communication on the subject should be made to Capt. Downing. It was thought to be Mr. Pendleton’s P speag = duty to write to Captain Mae he did do so, and also write to him, which | promised to do; but in the mean time, Captain Downing baving written to Mr. Pendleton, I would perhaps not bave written but for a letter received from Capt. Down- ing by myself within two or three days; I have | here the original letter. [The letter was here read, It stated that the Jamestown required caulking and repairs, and he had determined to teave for Rio de Janeiro.] Before receiving this letter, | had heard that it was the intention of Captain D. to leave with the Jamestown, and carry Coe, as nger, to Rio; the reason assigned by him, as | heard, for the movement, was that the vessel needed caulking; this intended departure I heard of first in the Con- sul’s office; some of the officers of the ship were there, on their day's leave, when another officer came in and said they would all be required | to go on board, ax it had been suddenly determived to go to Rio. Supposing that the object was to take Coe, I would have written to Capt. Downing on the subject, but for the fact that his letter to Mr. Pea- oleton was received soon afterwards, ta which he stated that he had only received Coe as a fugitive from nog y Eee assured Mr. Pendleton that Coe had the Jamestown, and would e no further connestion with that ship. When, how- ever, 1 bad received Capt. Downing's letter to my. Felf, [ sent the following reply:—[ Witness here read the letter, inwhich he expressed bis regret that the pep ny Sg to peace Duane Ayres at that time; +o that any been practixed upon Capt. Downing by Coe, who, it ms fully known, War fleeing in consequence of lis unmitigated villa- ny.] To this letter of mine I received no reply, and bave had no other commucication with him on the su ject. As tothe second spe ification, I state as before, that I made no other explanations or remonstrances to Captain D., in relation to his taking Coe on board at Montevideo, and carrying himto Tio de Janeiro, than those contained in my letter just read. I was a! Monteviteo afterwards, and regretted to learn from Mr. Hamilton, the United States Consal, that he had a-tented to, or advised Captain Downing to receive Coe again on’ board the Jamestown under any circametsnces. Mr. Hamilton sali he had written 6 note to D., but did not show it to me. 1 to spe im the — pen at ae now Ayres, 9 apresns me his regrets be had done as he did. ‘The accused here objected to thie evidence, as beareay; and stated that Mr. Hamilton had told bim ane that he thought he had done perfectly right.

[The counsel here wiehed to ask as to the wea- —_ found with prieoner’s clothes by the side of ‘is bed, but prisoner’s counsel objected, when an argument was he'd upon the eubject, daring which Mr. Northrup asserted that he should attempt to prove that the prisoner had been for a long time engaged in kidnapping and other crimes, and that and defence.)
