Counsel again Teledred to the interview in the Re- corder’s office, and si that Mrs. Connolly had in- timated that ber husoand could give evidence in this case But, said be, when the husband, Connolly, came ‘on it was found that he knew of the case, and then he was thrown out, with a promise that he should not be tried, if his wife would tell an effeotive story inst Judge Stuart. The proposition was agreed to, Seats Jet eke canine ta the ache eee fudge, and to sacrifice her ur, a thief, paramour, But this, be said, was not the only deplorable aspect of this case. There was a judge—Revorder Smith— himrelf interested in the case, in the Star Chamber, se- eretly laboring for the ruin of’ his fellow judge. In that tame judge is the political opponent cf the accused, and One who, it is well known, sat in the Board of Police ‘Commissioners in opposition to Judge Stuart and in con- jucetion with the Mayor. Besides him, thece waa a Dis- ‘riet Attorney who imagined he-had been injured, and a thief, and the paramour of half a dozen thieves, all meet- ing together ia secret, and struggling for the conviction of an honest judge and of noted villain, Such was the combination against Judge Stuart; and such a combina- tion, itwas to be hoped, would never be made against the vilest person in the community. Here was a woman known to be a thief and prostitute, coming apon the stand and swearing that, in the eye of the Inw, she was the principal offender. She offered the bribe—and that alone constitutes her an accomplice. Counsel descanted upon the sort of corroborative evidence sought to be given to this case, by the production of her bank book, and showed how unworthy an attempt it was. He said that a like sum of $500 appeared to have been drawn three months befure—on the Sth of November, and suggested that that fact m'gat, with as much justice, be ured as a sort of corioboration to sup- port & charge which might have heen made agains: the Recorder. Sill less worthy, and more contemmible, was the sort of corroborstin sought to be lent to the prose: cution in the case, by the proof that Judge Stuart was in adverse pecuniary circum» iances, He thougat, or took for granted, that there ws no thirst for blood here; that there was but a deoise to discharge professional duties; bat he thought the gentleman’s (Mr. Cutting’s) concep tions of professional cuties in «minal cases was some- what distracted by bis practice in criminal cases. In conclusion, he intimated that he would not be surprised if the jury should manifest their apprectation of this wo- man’s testimony, by returning # verdict of acquittal without leaving their box, ‘The learned counsel sat down, overcome by his emo- ‘tion. ‘The Court then took a recess for fifteen minutes, and re-assembled at a quorter past 5 o'clock, when Mr. Cutting ee to sum upon the part of the prosecution. Af @Mlu eloquent exordium, in which he deecanted cn the danger to republican institutions flow- ing from judicial aud official corruption, he continued to racite and bring out in bold relief the most salient points of the evidence in the case THE JUDGR’S CHARGE. Judge Roosevel: then proceeded, amid the deepest at- tention, to charge the jury, He eaid—This case, gentl men, I believe, is the first of its kind in our judisi nals’ In English history we have all read, as an insu- lated instance, of the bribe: ord Chancellor Bacon.

I shail consider first the evidence of inteat, fur the obvious Treason that, unless a corrupt intention pe shown, the charge of receiving a bribe cannot, on the other evidence ia the case. be sustained. Intent, if unlawful, is seldom avowed. It ia deduced from conditions and circum- stances, from acts which sp sometimes clearly, and someti Let ua look, then, into the acts of the parties as delineated in the evidence before us, taking them up mainly in their chronological order, and in connection incidentally will words used, and giving the defence, as ycu are bound ts do, the benefit cf every rearonable doubt. Let us see to what conclusion they naturally, fairly and lawfully lead. In the year 1847, and down to the Ist of January last, the present City Judge, now on trial, was connected with the police of the city, having at one time the juris- diction of examining and committing magistrate. Fome years before 1847, there were two young women—the elder called Margaret, now called Mrs, Connolly or Ouval; the younger Elizabeth, now Mrs. Fish—residing with their mother and brother in the county of Otsego. The eléer, subrequently known as Mrs. Ascensio, then as Mra, Duval—an assumed name—avd now as Mrs, Con- noMly, came to this city in or about the year 1837. Her Ago was then about eighteen. Her manner of life, unless 40 far a8 it may affect her eredivility, itis unnesessary to diwellon. After having lived here twelve years, she hac occasion, it appears go to tho’ police office at tbe Tombs. The clerk in attendance was the defendant now before us, ana that was the occasion co which she says he first made her acquaintance. It ‘was in 1847, She then lived in Leonard street. Soon afierw: in the same year, she moved to Church street, and there the defendant, she says, visited her house! In the following year, 1848, she was married, she +—s0d her sister, who attended the weidiag, confirms che statemen'—toa Spaniard or Cuban, of the name of Ascensio, This is the first time we are introduced to her ae a married woman de jure, if not de facto. Theit-con. fit of jealousy, attacked ber life, and she, in terror, fleé to the ‘police magistrate ‘or protection, where she saw the now City Judge. On her compisint a warrant of commitment was issued against the violent groom, who some time afier was com- mitted to prison; and after some time, being released, he leit the country ior Cubs, where. it is said, ue died, From Church street Mrs, Ascensio, or Mrs. Duval, removed to Laurens and thence to Wooster street, in both which places, tt is aileged, the defendant was in the habit of visiting her, ¥o that all'the time when the alleged bribery, if at all, whe consummated, was during the acquaintance which was one of seven or eight sears’ s'anding. [assume tant, although open to cri'icisia, it was a lawful and proper acquaintanee, and that cne of the objects of the aefend- ant in bis visits was to induce this woman to lead a dif- ferent life. The evidence on that point, except to prove the intimacy of the parties, was inadmissible. This is not an action for a civorce, and the defendant is net now -on trial for any alleged ‘offence against the marriage Jaw. You will not, therefore, be justified in inferring fur. ther that on the 17th Februa: 1855, the two alleged actors, ip this act of bribery, were intimate with each other, #0 for several years preriourly. We will ‘8 period of about two years, to the comme the prosecution, whore defeat in some form, by Msmisem or sham trinl, was the great object of the anxiety of both parties. in April, 1863, Mrs, Duval was living with a man whose character is suffi cicotly, apparent of the name of William Connolly. Part the evidence calls him her man, What they mean by that I donot exactly know. This man, when arrested, gave his name as Willlam Cosgrove, and was carried to the Jefferson Market station, The magis- trate, at first, deeming the case to be one of a, very_ ag. gravated character, was inclined to hold the offender in actual custody, andto allow no bail. Being pressed, how- ever, by the counsel of Connolly, he consented to admit him to bail, fixing the sum at $5,000; an amount which t was found impossible or inconvenient to procure; and this bail, though much reduced afterwards, was retained ate Kum of $3,000. This evidence is of no further im- portance than'as showing the officialas well as individual ‘opinion, at that time ¢ntertained by the City Judge of the criminal, for whore release he afterwards, as is said, evinced 50 much solicitude, And the Grand Jury seems to coincide in opinion with the Gity Jucge. ‘The Grand Jury promptly formed and returned the bill of indictment, o and on the f May foliowing, and again on the 1%h, the case was ‘called for trial before the General Ses- sions, when the party indicted failing to appear, a bench warrant was issued against him aud judgment o forfeiture pronounced on the bonds in the case. ‘The cul- prit, it appears, as soon as he was liberated on bail, had loft the State; his female friend, the widow Duval or As- censio, by a previous understanding, in a few days after- wards met him in Philadelphia, A'very curious under- stoucing there is there.

Now [might as well remark, here, gentlemen, that it isa well estal maxim of the law, and one which will not fail to commend itself to your when there is no other person present, and more espe- cial'y when the character of the witness is not free from blame, and isa party tothe transaction, must be re- ceived with great caution. The statute of 1863 has in express terms made the testimony of an accomplice not only admissible but compulsory. A person to testify may be sent to prison and kept there. It pretty rigorous act. Such testimony is to be believed or not believed, however, from its intrinsle credibility or increc bility, or from the corroborative or contradicvory circumstances, and is not to be diabelieved merely oa the Round that it comes from the lips of a particeps eriminés. this is the law of the land. Keeping this rule in view, ‘we now proceed to the important interview of the parties on Feb. 17, 1855, of which Mrs. Connolly gives you sub- stantially ihe toliowing version:— A. He told me there had been a nollc prosequi entered, but he bad torgot to bring up the papers, and that he would write me ‘@ paper which | could take to Vonnolly, and brivg bim to this clty, where J might give him all the comforts [ could if he was sick} I did voi tell Mr. Stuart that he was in the city at the Ume; he wrote ‘ue paper and handed it to me, and I saw there was a mistake in the date and in the name; he had it Wm. Connolly, und I told him that he was indicted by the nam of ve} he tore up that paper, and wrote a second one; he set the name ol Wm. Cosgrove down on a slip of paper, and kept that bim- self, nud gave me the paper which he wrote; 1 looked at the told him there was a mistake in the date; “ That,” akes no difference; well 1 did not read the ba it, but folded it up and put it in my pocket, for I was anxious 10 show It io my husband; it was then about 1 o'clock ai night, for it was after 12 when I got home, There is no pretence but that this certificate is genuine. ‘There is no doubt of its being in the handwriting of the defendant. Here, then, is a fact not pretended to be con- troverted. The paper is in these words:— ir xp Courrr or New Yons, Office of the City Judge, Feb, 19, 1865, ‘This is to certify, that on the moilon of the District Aworne: of said city and county, a nolle provequi was this day ordere: and entered of record by the Court of Ueneral Sessions of the eae in and for te city and county aforesaid, in the matter of indictment against Wm, Connolly, discharging the said in- ¢lctment, and dismissing the complaint and accusation found and preferred against him in the month of April, 1853. ‘There being now no indictment in said Court against the said Connolly forany criminal offence whatever. 8. H. STUART, City Judge, This paper, she says, the defendant handed to her that night. The enCorrement on the back of the envelope is “William Connolly, Esq.” The error in the date was this: he had dated it on the 19th, whereas it was the 7th. ‘The witness says:— This paper I took off with me, and gave it to my husband; there was an error tn the date of the paper, the sceaud ae ae as the first; {twas Saturday, the 17th, and he dated it 19th, and I called his attention to that, when he said it made no dif’ ference; he said the nol pros was entered, but it had slipped his micd, and be did not bring over the papers; that he Red not spoken to Hall about it that day, but that it was all right; and that if Iwouid call on Monday morning tor the paper, which he would get from Mr. Hall, he would, jive itto promised him 1 would call on Monday, but I did not; I was tually ashamed to run there so much, and there were always y people in the office; I had given him the address of cher, and told him he might write to mo there, and ‘send it to me to the address of my brother. which was South Worcester, Olsego county; he sald he would do 60. Here then, whatever may be said of the other particulars of the interview, is strong if not conclusive proof under his own band, that on the 1ith, if not the 19th, Judge Stuart in his official capacity gave to Mrs. Connolly or to her husband a formal certificate that the indictment against Win. Connolly was discbarged and the complaint missed. This certificate, if given on the 17th, was in every sense untrue, and its filmity in that event would throw a strong light on other points in the case. There ir no pretence that any nolle prosequi, regular or irregular, had been entered in that matter betore the 19th. A cloud of witnesses ‘and the record of the Court put this wintfheyondidispute. Mayfwe not suppose, however, and in that way reconcile the seeming contradiction ‘that Judge Stuart in fact wrote and delivered the certificate cn the 17th, in the full assurance thatits contents, though not true when written, would be true whea dated, on a principle which we lawyers know as nunc pro tune? | Cor- tain itis that on Monday he exerted himself, and in a manner neither usual nor regular, to make the certificate true. Instead of waiting for the District Attorney to ask leave of the Court, he, as the Court, asked the leave of the District Attorney to have this nolle prosequi entered. H» procured a note from the District Attorney to John Sparks.and got the certificate of entering from the clerk. He ba¢ obtained, he knew, from the District Attorney, # written consent for the discharge of Wm. Connolly, person whore offence he represented to be of u compara- tively insignificant character, and had applied it to the case of Win. ve, a case of which he had often spoken to the District Attorney, and which he had considered of 0 grevious a character that he had practically almost refused bail. When, therefore, he directed the ‘clerk to make an entry of the discharge of Wm. Cosgrove he had no warrant from the District Attorney, either in fact or in intent, in saying that he had made the order at the motion of the District Attorney. The important dis- crepancy between the names was remarked to him by Mr,"Vandervoort, but he said it was all right. Why was not the order suspended till the retarn of Mr. Hall to the cflice, next morning? or why, at least, was not the issue of the certified copy delayed for a few ‘hours? And why, when issued, was it taken by the Judge hi nself and transmitted to Connolly, instead of being returned, as was promised, to Mr. |Hally And why dil he after- wards tell Recorder Smith that no such procevding had been or would be taken? And why, further, when Mr. Smith confronted him on thia subject, did he not give some satisfactory explanation, if any could he given’ Neither Mr. Hull nor Mr. Smith knew anything at this time of the alleged bribe being paid. All they knew was that the indictment against Cosgrove was dismissed in an extraordinary manner. No explanation wes given of it by Judge Stuart. On the contrary, you will recollect, so dixsatisied were they for the want of explanation, that instead of acquiescing in the discharge of tae com- plaint, they, or one of them, in a few days afterwards, caused a new indictment to be found against Connolly, 1 bench warrant to be issued, and subsequently an indict- ment to be found against the Judge himselt. But the efforts of the Judge did not, it is said, end here, but were continued to thwart the course of the new indictment. But Mrs lly had many interviews with the Judge after that date, is proved by several witnesses, parti- culasly by Elder, his confidential officer. 1 will not detain ycn, gentlemen, at this late hour, by recapitulating the testimony on this point. I will barely observe that it is only important, and indeed only admissable, as throwing a probability on the truth of the main charge oguinst Judge Stuart. The scene is laid, accord- ing to her account, in the Judge’s private apartment, atiached to his public oflice. Axsum ng that an inter view actually occurred at the time and place spesified we bave next to inquire what are the probabilities or improbabilities of the truth of the rest of her statement. A woman, however intelligent, who for years has been the cempanion of thieves and prostitutes, who false ansaers to questions which she deems counsel ha not the right to put, is obnoxious to the severest criti- cism, and her evidence ix hardly of itvelt a sufficient basis for a ccnvicticn, withont corroborative cixcumsunces.

At a quarter to 12 P. M., the jury came into court, when the interest and excitement of all present came to n culminating point. The jury took their seats, and Mr. Vandervoort, the Clerk, called their names. Having an- ewered to their names, the Clerk asked— Gentlemen—Have you agreed to your verdist ! ‘The Foremax—We have, The Currs—How ray you, gentlenien, is Sydney H. Stuart guilty or not guilty !

Mr. Curnye—I'move that that paper be filed on the records. Shall we JUDGE STUART'S SPEROH. Judge Srvarr, with great evident emotion, addressed the Court. He said:— I have one word to say.

(Correspondence of the St. Louis Lip mgt ag , Pau Nov. 1 The two parties—democrats and republicans—of which the Convention is constituted, will have no further difi- culty about the question of excluding free negroes trom Kansas. Col. Lane, who, with Messrs. Delahay and Par- rott, leads the democratic and administration ty, has introduced and carried a resolution by which the admis. sion or exclusion of free negroes will be settled by a direct ‘vote of the people on the day when the constitution is gubmitted to the sovereign squatters for rejection or rat on. On this question the whigs join with the demoorats. I delieve that as soon as Kansas is admitted asa State, the whigs will “fuse” with the democrats, rather than adopt the ‘‘republican’”’ creed, Col. Lane the negro as the connecting link between man and ourang-outang; Mr. Delahay considers him as an animal merely, while eon, the leadew yublicans, looks'on him 8, man and brother. vet we ; .

To-day the question of permitling the establishment or prohibiting bauks by constitutional provision, has occu- pied the at‘ention of the Convention to the exclusion of all other topics. It originated on the report of the standing Committee on Banks, of which I xubjoin a copy:— The standing Committee on Banks and Curreney have instructed me to make the foliowlog report, to wir Sec 1. The General Assembly shall have no power to create or incorporate banks or any banking institution whatever, or to authorise the making, emission or putting in circulation of any bill of credit, bond, check, ticket, certificate, promissory note or other medium intended to circulate ax money. ec, 2, The General Assembly shall prohibit by Iaw the circulation of foreign bank paper within the Stave, Sec. 3.

Colonel LANE finally offered a resolution referring the report back to the committee, with instructions to pro- vide a clause authorizing a system of free banking, ty be submitted to the people for ratification or rejection. The resolution prevailed, although warmly opposed. POPULATION OF KANSAS, In the debates to-day, Colunei Lane declared the popu- lation of Kansas to be from 40,000 to 50,000, while str. Latta, of Leavenworth, denied that there were more than from 30,000 to 25,000 fouls in the Territory. I believe there are about 32,00 or 85,000, BEATE ORGANIZATION, ‘The convention met again at half past six. The order of the evening was the question of State organization. Mr. Schuyler, of Council City, opened the debate with an able specch aguinst the orgaulzation of a State govern- ment before the decision of Congress ia relation to ad- mitting Kansas as a State. Mr. Schuyler is a speaker of great ability, conservative but Ilberal in his poliidcal ideas. His dignified demeanor, just discrimination, and sound judgment, give weight to his opinions on all ques- tions he cebates. In referring to the fact, assumed as an incontrovertible proposition by the advocates of an im- mediate organization, that the House of Representatives would instantly pass a bill admitting Kansas as a State, he said he believed we had more to fear from our friends than enemies; that the {ree soil party of the North had made arrangements to carry on the next Presidential campaign on the Kansas question, and would, therefore if agy excuse was given them to do so, refuse to setite the troubles created by the repeal of the Missouri com- promire by our immediate admissioa, He opposed it, also, on the ground that if we were admitted, ce Terri- torial government and the free State organization would come in conflict. He said that Governor Saannon, in a conversation with him, bad not only expressed his firm determination to carry’ out the laws of the Barons of the Shawnee Mission, but given him to understand that ho had authority frem President Pierce to call out the mili- tary force to assist him in their execation. discussion on State organization closed about ten o'clock, after Juige Wakefield had spoken in favor of and Dr. Robinson against immediate organization. EMIGRANT AID SOCIETY. Dr. Robinson said, that, as an agent of that Society, he wished to contradict certain talse statements regarding it, which hud been circulated for months past In pro- slavery papers, and he found were belleved by membera of the free State party. Ho then stated the object of the society, which sgreed with the account given in its recent address to the citizens of Missouri, and aided that every prominent member of its committee, Mr. Thayer alone excepted, were known as the most conser- vative mien in New England—Webster whigs or hunk- ers,” a3 they are called in politice—men_ whom the Fast- ern abolitionists abuse as pro-tlavery doughfaces. The secety, he maintained, wos merely a commercial organt- zation; its object was to facilitate emigration t> the West by reducing railroad fares, starting mills, hotels and atber neco-sary, but expensive requirements, in new countries: avd’ that te all the advantages it might con- fer on settlers, the slaveholder from South Carolina with his negroes were as much entitled, by the laws of the society, as aby abolitionist.

Under these circumstances, a portion of the eitizens of the county, upon learning the fact of the return of George &. Park, called and beld a private mecting in a neighbor- ing town, and considered upon the adoption of a course regulating and prescribing our action, committee was appointed by that secret body for the purpose of conferring with the citizens of Parkville, con- cerning the propriety of again immediately expelling sald Park, and assumed the prerogative of prescribing a limit to his stay.

The Britis overnment has sanctioned this guarantee, by which the Iudson’s Boy Company are saved the expense of strength- ening ther posts by any rilitary detences during the present war, while they obtain the absolute monopoly of the fur trade in that quarter—the Russian commerce be- ing entirely cut off. e writer thinks this arrangement a great folly, and exprerses his opinion of the selfishness of the Hudson's Boy Company with great freedom, and sxys:— Now, (or the petty interests of #0 eelfiah, so unpatrto- tic, and so uscless n body as the Hudson’s Bay Company, why should England forego the opportunity she nas of possessing herself of the Russian territory upon this con- tinent, which, in reality, is ot far greater value than the small and scattered Hudson’s Bay posts situated to the south of itY Of what good is this Hudson’s Bay Compa- ny to kngland or to the region which this policy excludes from participating iu that enterprise, and those agencies of civilation which wre accomplishing so much in nearly every other country upon the face of the globeY The two cargoes of furs annually sent home are surely not of « account to# country possessing so vast a commerce as England, as to compensate for the sacrifice to hath coun- tries which the existence of this company entails. Why, then, should any new sacrifice be conceded to then Y— Though many extensive tracts of the region under their charge are highly adapted for settlement, they neither people those tracts themselves, nor encourage nor permit others to do so; but fe a. an end would be put to their close monopely should the country become properly known and appreciated, they picture it as utterly worth- less, except as @ preserve for wild animals; keeping out of sight what the Itussians have done upon’ this continent north of the Hudson's Bay territory on the Pacific, and what has been accomplished in the far more inclement and unpromising region of Siberia. The writer insists that but for the influeace of this company the Red River settlement, planted abont forty ents ago by the Farl of Selkirk, and had not numbers of ‘young men been driven to emigrate to the United States, there would have been one hundred thousand souls there, where there are but ten thousand, and the present desolate route frem thence to Canada would have been the highway of a large and flourishing commerce. and the scene of many thriving xetilements. He then proceeds :— It is now time that Canada, whose frontier should sl- ready meet that of the Red ‘River settlement, and who may reasonably look forward to thejextension of the Province at no distant period over the north-west terri- tories to the Pacific, should identify her interests with those of the Red River aud Vancouver's [stand colenis(s, and take up their eause as her own. ‘A movement by the Province in this direction could not but be attended with important resultt; for, notwithstand- ing ail the influence in Europe of the wearers of fine furs, such a relic of an almost barbarous period as the mo- nopoly of the Hudson’s Bay Company over a region about as large as the whole of Europe, cannot be preserved whenever that contest, which raust come at some time or other, shall be entered into between this Province and the Hudron’s Bay Company. Here, then, is a great and national object to be gained, in the prosecution of which all parties in the Province unite. All minor agitations which now divide them, tidicas themainiatnieg or te repeal of the act of union, should be forgotten in the importance of the one now presented to him. Why should not the people of both countries be per- mitted to participate in the fur trade, or to embark in the coal, copper and other valuable inines known to exist there, but which are neither worked by the company, nor allowed to be worked by others? Canada must not become stunted in her growth for the cake of the inte- rests of such a body as the Hudson Bay Company, The Province fs furt stretching out to the West, and may, {y unimpeded, soon reach and take in the Red river colony, and from thence procerd to plant set'lers along the fertile and beautiful valley of the Saskat- chewan, through which our railways in the Province should be continued to the Pacific, Besides this route being the best for the construction of a railway across the continent, the climate along ft becomes milder the farther we travel towards the West, till the climate of the south of France is wet with as we approach the Pa- cific. On that side of the continent, even ax high up as ten degrees north of Quebec, the’ winters of England are hardly exceeded in rigor, there being little snow or feost, and the harbors being open all the year round. Such is the climate of much of the Russian possessions upon the const. ‘There, the Russians (unlike the Hudson's Bay Com- pany), do not confine themselves to the far trade, but make use of all the resources within their reacd. In- stead of their stations of Sttka and Kodiak being mere fur depots of some half dozen traders or so, they each contain a population of from one thousand to fifteen hundred souls, in many profitable pursuits; they have dockyards and arsenals, and are both defended bs Upon those at Kodiak are mounted upwards of one hundred pieces of cannon, while Sitka can boast of nearly as many, ‘The other posts of the Rossian company (which com- peny is, in fact 8 department of the Kussian govern- ment), this continent and among the Aleutian Islands, number abont sixty, and contain trom about’ fifty to three hundred ons each, In the traffic and commerce of those settlements from fifteen to twent; vessels are employed, while the trade of the Hu ‘s Bay post upon Pacific is confined to two vessels "alr Edward Belcher, and other more recent navigutors n that quarter, have described the extent, the fortifica- tions ana i Poe oe ite en poner cat Company, for Tr poses: ir lect of the resources within theit reach, and of co the capa. bilities of their own territory, as well as with the object of ing the people of England from being aroused to the im nce of our hk oe America (and * take it out of the Hudson's Ts 7, Companys resent ary }, now represen’ a e other se! ents of tte Hiceclaan’aa slatoet erties, ust se eterin a, fenceless. Of course the British government could not be deceived these representations; but the government being Bin the com) heart and soul, ‘hese misstatements are only intended to deceive the British public, so that no awkward questions upon the subject: might be asked in Parliament. It is to be hoped that Canada will now undeceive the latter in regard to the conduct and objects of the Hudson's Bay Company, and in regard to the value of the company’s territory, as well as to that of Russian Awerica. There being every certainty of the Province being ex- tended at no distant period as far as the Pacific, Canada is already interested im means being t: during the p cent wartoremove Russia from this continent, and sie. therefore, at this moment fully justified in en- tering ber protest against the continuance of the infa- mous ccmpect between the Hudsoa’s Bay Company aad Our Rio Janeiro Correspondence.

Ravages of Cholera on the Coast— Fifteen Thousand People Dead in Bahia—Burying of Some of the Bodies—Health of Rio—Coffee and Flour Markets—Particulars of the Loss of the CleopatramSafety of the Orew, There is but little local news stirring at the present moment in this part of the world. I am excesdingly happy to state that the prevailing epidemic, before re- ported, has greatly abated, but the disease is gung through the country, taking many victim) in its craveis. I have information that in six weeks over fifteen thon- sand died in the city and province of Bahia, on the coast, where the disease was raging before it reached us, and that the sailors on board of the Brazilian corvette were called upon to bury the dead, and that there was for a time not a sufficient number to perform this duty. Several hundred bodies were put ina funeral pile and burned, This report I have from an American captain, lately from Bahia, and the report is otherwise current in this city. In this city, not more than two thousand have died with the disease, and it is fast disappeariog. Tiere has hardly been a case of it among the North Americans and English, or their shipping in port. The greatest mortal- ity is among the slaves, and the loss in this property is great. Brazil requires for her prosperity laborers, and the day is coming when she must encourage emigration more liberally than she has yet done, or fail to keep up the supply of her products. In consequence of the unhealthy condition of the country, there is but littie ovffee coming into por’ from the coast or interior, but the shipments during the past month to the United States have been large—say about 120,000 bags. From the scarcity in market for sbipmeat, ithas taken an advance on last quoted prices, with a prospect of a further rise, and what ia now coming in, (celled new crop) is reported as light, and in quality not fo good as usta, The probability is that the shipments to the United States will be small for the remaining part of the year, ard will go up here as high as 6] or 6{500 per aroba, for the hest qualities. Merchants at home need not be afcald of the market being overstocked from this port, in the ceflee line this year. For the past few ‘days we have a large number of ar- rivals from the States, mostly all loaded with flour, Oo the first of this month there were in first and second hands 000 barrels, since which from the first, (of this month to ) have arrived about 40.600 barrelé—making in all, 70,000 barrels—erjual to five months’ consumption. Conse. quently prices must go down, probably to a losing figure; but there being news afloat that the crops in Europe have falled, may give a buoyant spirit, and enable holde keep up toa living profit. Rio has suffered much the past six months in bigh prices in bread, and put up with small loaves. The American ship Cleopatra, Captain Thayer, 1,500 tons burthen, with a cargo of 1,600 tons of guano, sailed from Callao, August 16:h, for Boston, having forty-six souls on board. Nothing of importance occurred until the night of the 21st ot September, in long. 24 40 south, lat. 8115, goin; from twelve to thirteen miles per hour, blowing fresh aus raining, when she atruck something—some of the crow think she struck a wreck—and sprung a leak. They were obliged to abandon her, with nineteen feet of water in her hold, 750 miles east southeast of this port. ‘They left in three open boats, about 26 feet long each. ‘Two of the boats, with the captain, arrived in our har- bor on the Ist, causing great anxiety for the safety of the other boat, with the mate and eighteen of the crew. This boat and crew was picked up by the Peruvian bark Villa de Pisco, Capt. M. C. Rampacha, on the Sth of this month, about twenty miles off Cape Freyo, near this har- bor, and every soul has arrived cafe and are well, but they have suffered dangers and hardships that seldom full'to the lot of man, On the 4th, the English Admiral sent out « steamer for the then missing boat, and our frigate, the Savannah, sailed on the same errand of mercy on the Sth. Enclosed pleuse find statement of particulars, cut from the Jornal. de Commercio, 5th of October. The mate, who arrived in the last boat, gives a thrill account, which he hus promised to give to me in writiog, and I will forward it. FHS. STATEMENT OF CAPTAIN THAYER. [From the Correo Mercantile, Oct 5. The American bark Cleopatra, from Callao for Boston, was wrecked about 750 miles E. 8. F. from our port. In the following statement deiivered by the captain in the United States Consulate, our readers will find tne cir- cumstances of the shipwrech:— The North American bark Cleopatra, frem the port of Boston, of 1,662 tons, left Callao on the 16th of August lust, witha cargo of 1,600 tons of guano. Nothing of Importance occurred during the voyage up to the night of Fridoy the 2st of September Inst, in longitude 24 40, 81 16 fouth latitude, when the vessel was making from twelve to thirteen miles an hour, in rainy and clondy weather, and with the wind fresh, came in con- tact with something, which produced so great a shock as to arouse the portion of the crew that had turned ia. Shortly after, going to the pumo we discovered that the vessel was making more water than usual, and at daybreak on the fol- lowing moizing we found that some of the eopper- ing and part of the ship’s side was carried away. We kept pumping all that day, but fostesd of the water diminishing, we recognized ‘on the id that it was in- creasing (bree feet). We then commenced to throw the guano overboard, and the wind being east north east we steered in the direction of Pio Janeiro. During the day we threw overboard 200 tons of guano, keeping incessantly at the pumps; but still the water was rising at the rate of one foot per hour. At 1L\ o'clock, seeing that the vessel was rapidly sinking, we put out the bosts and stocked them with provisions and water, At one o'clock on the morning of the 23d, we sounded, and found nineteen feet of water in the hold, and the pumps stuffel with the guene. A half hour. after- wards we sbandoned the vessel and took to our beats. We got off a short distance, and we had Tardly got trom on board when we found that the vessel was fall of water. | We then got up the sails fa our boats, and at half-past six o’elock in the evening, in rainy weather, and having nineteen men in the launch, six in the small boat, and the pilot and officers in the second boat, we set sail for Rio, During the night we mude ten miles, and on the following morning we lost sight of the second boat. The vessel must have sunk shortly after she was abandoned, as her deck was then at the water's edge. The Captain, with the launch and with the swaller boat, arrived at this port on the morn- ing of the 2d inst., after having navigated eight days and nine nights ia thelr frail open boats. Up to this time we have heard nothing of the second boat. The English Admiral had the goodness to order a steamer in search of the second boat, and the North American frigate Savannah also leaves to-day for a like pur pore, A negro boy named George, belonging to Mr. Howard, has been sentenced to be hung in Wythe county, Va., on Tuesday, Dezember 21, for Sttempting to com outrage upon the person of Mrs. Granville Stone.
