Whosoever has taken an interest in perusing our old chronicles, or paid the least attention to our tra- Gitions, such as have been transmutted orally as re- mempbrances of past times. well know that the coasts of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, as well as those of Panama, aiid even the inland cities, have, at times, been disturbed by piratica! invasions which spread terror and consternstion among the inhabitants of those usually peaceable countries, Walker is not fi turer Who frightened the population : others a8 mach or more daring than ersue| this course with more or less suc- ding to circumstances. The present chief s, tuerefore, has no merit of originality, for strictly peaking, he nist be considered only as a kind of plagiary of the Morgans, the Charpes, and others less known The vast possessions of Spain on the American continent could not easily be defended, their extend- ed shores bathed by the Cariboean sea and the Paci- fic ocean being almost evtirely laid epen to any at- tack. On some important wilitary points like Car- thagena, Omoa and others, there were fortifications, but the extensive coast live was necessarily left un- protectei. To this cir omstance itis, perhaps, to be attributed that the Spaniards, for the moat founded their principal citics in the interior; for, otherwise, they would have been exposed, not only to the aggressions of corssirs and piraes. who, es- pecially inthe midst of tye seventeenth century, infested the sea, but also to ‘he attacks of the naval forces of the different vations with whom Spain was then freqpentiy at war An ancient writer of the bistory of those coun- tries, who is often cited by those who have occupied themselves with tue listory of that period anterior to ‘independence (A , Ubus describes the ad- venturers who, d year 1660, invaded the Spanish establis! part of the world: —Filibusters those alled, er rather pirates, who, pvelonging nations, established themselves under the uame of buccaneers on the island of Santo Dom: Some of them who were net contented with ¢ to rhe number of forty or fifty, bought a boa: elected a commander, ith Whom they went to sea torob and plunder vessel they might of their facilities for grow liberty to indulge in ail k nable vices, their num ver and having become w s-icis f the small island of Tortuga and of some large boats they began to attack the ports and coasts of the Spaniards, com- mitting the greatest atrocities.” We find in our own history of that period that in the year 1671, wlea, aftr the o.d city of Panama having been taken and burnt, the pirates were pre- paring to invade with their ships the coasts of Nica- ragua and Costa Rica, forces «ere gathered to defend them, and that Guatemala slso sent her aid. In the years 1651 and 1086, the pirates, ander the command of the French adventurer, Charpe, entered the port of Caldera, sacked and burned the city of Esparza, in Costa Rica, aud carried away as prison- ers a great many persons whom, for a ransom of $1,000, they put seain ashore. : According to the same writer, the city of Leon, capital of the province of Nicaragua, was plandered in the year 1655, by a band of pirates, almost in the corps of troops who were unable to hinder port of Realejo was frequently attacked by such dangerous gues Is is not the first time that Granada, to-day the headquarters of adventurers not less terocious than those of the seventeenth century, has beea invaded by foreign pirates. It may be inetresting to learn that Sergeant Major 1D. Geronimo de la Vega y La- cayo, reported, in the year 175%, in this respect, to the King of Spain:— “This city could to-@ay be one of the most opu- lent of the province but for ha been plundered three times; twice by way ot the river San Juan, and another time by the way Escalante, a port sita ated at a distance o! twenty leagues, on the Pacific ocean. On the 7th of April, 1655,a small number of English and French, amounting to no more than 400, disembarked there. The Spaniards, being ap- prised of the fact, prepared to defend themselves by erecting on the plaza av intreschment in the form of a square, armed witn fourteen carnop and six swivel guns. At two o'clock in the afteraoon of the 9th, the enemy, by a forved march, approached the e, and, after a short fizht, carried it, On the following day he proposed ty the inhabitants to set them free for » ransom, or, in e of refusal, to fire their t.we. Thev, believing it to be a mere threat, seceded only to the provsition when they saw the egurch of San Francis.o end eight dwelling houses eet on fire. The enemy, having done this mis- chief, retired with the loss of but thirteen men.” ‘The 13th October of 1°55 reminds us toa certain Cegree of the 9th April of 1685; but to-day cireum- re very different from what they were at The four hordred pirates who then at- tacked Graneda did no otber harm than what has been stated, and retired satisfied with the ransom which the frightened inhabitants were obliged to pay. To-day the filibysters are not content with so ittle. A treaty of surrender which puts all at the discretion of the adventarers is the prize, a8 well as the lives ané property of the principal inhabitants, and the plrates are still masters of a country which, in the midst of the nineteenth century, displays less elements of resistance than it was in possession of at the close of the seveuteentt—a strange contrast and fit to provoke painful reflections. r rich, and of their of the most abomi- reased considerably, Neither was Hondwas spared the s:ourge of piracy: for Truxillo aud Olarcho, in the year 1688, were ettacked and plundered by adventurers, who carried away the Governor aud other persons, for whose liberty they received « rausom of five thou- sand dollars. Lastly, Goatemala itself was on the point of being threatened with an invasion ny the pirates; for, at- ter having attacked the port o’ Realejv and the city of Leon in the year 165, they intended to overran the eapita! of the kiogdom, «ttering by the bar of Iztapan. As soon as this wis known, measures of defence were taken, by converting Escuintla into a depot of orms, and asembling there, besides the military forces of the district, three companies of the city of Gautemaia and five of the valley. Moreover, Spain, at the time, was not left alone in the care of pursuing and destroying the pirates who in‘ested her establishments. We know by our ancient history that Evglard and France did not see with indiference those scandalous violations of inter- but quite the contrary, contributed effi- their naval forces tofee the sea from pirates who caused such serious damages. the The Duke of Albemarle, Governor of Jamaica, re- ceived from the British eoverouwent a special vom- mission to pursue the p * and discharged himself of it in eo efficient a wanner that he ordered wi ever {ilivasters fell into his hands to be hanged meaeure which insured tranquillity to the ports and coasts of Spanish America, and did great honor to the Duke, who died in The Count of ae, Governor of Sento Dominzo, in the year 1714, by his energetic measures forced the pirates to give up their dangerous trade entirely. Thos closed the first epoch of fililusterism in Central America, to reappear two hundred 8 later, almost on the same poirts as it ‘aid the first time, aod under circumstances omewhat analo- gous t» those which accompanied these daring enter- prises at the end of the 17th century. but the continuation of this kind of piracy in Centra!

From the #ame pap F) As we remarked in the forezoing article, there is 8 certain analogy between the respective characters of those piratical expeditions against Central Ame rica which took place at the close of the seventeenth ceniary, and those going on in our own time.

They are promoted or fomented by some enterprising speculators, and there is never wanting a daring adventurer who puts himself at the head, nor some hundreds of unemployed people who let themselves be easily ensnared oy the hope of making & fortune. The expedition of Walker and his party has no other character, although, at the outset, he seemed to take a partin the question which was dividing the State of Nicaragua. Then as soon as he suc- ceeded in gaining a footing in the country he took hold of the government, arms, and public revenues, disposed of the land, and, in short, exercised sove- reign authority, although he preserved a shadow of native government by which, however, nobody has been deceived, either in Central america or elsewhere. As has been observed, the chief object of Walker, since he took possession of Nicaragua, was to procure himself new foreign recruits for putting down, by their mesns, whatever resistance might arise either within or without. For this yam pose he made to immigrants the most liberal offers of Jand which did not belong to bim; caused to be trnmpetei\ forth discoveries of great mineral riches, and tried to ape or to extenuate the real incon- veniences « f the enterprise. However, these econ that, inour opinion, there is no possibility whatever to overcome them. By reflecting a momen? on the attempts which is now being made in Nicaragua, and taking in considera- tion all the circumstances of it any person of sound udgment will come to the conclusion that this ea- terprise is not one of those which presen: 8 charac- ter of permanence and staoi icy, We ask permission to support our opinion by some considerations. The conquest of and domination over Nicaragua seems to be impossible, without the conquest of the rest of that coun'ry with which that republic is united morally if not politicatly. The social changes which would be the necessary consequence of such a conquest, viz.:—the spoliation of the actual pro- riewors; the destruction of religious unity; the es alterations of the Legislature, language and customs; the sybjugation of the mass of the p2zople— in a word, the*annihilation of the present society | with its actual conditions of existence cannot, as it is easy to imagine, be effected without such a re- sistance as wil! yield only when the invaders, pos- sessing considerable means, would be enabled by them to exterminate even the idea of resistance. Let us sce what those means are. The sane ont of such pir 1 expeditions from the Unite States, whose government has recognised the po- litical existence and individuality of these repub- lies, and is on terms of friendship and peace, con- secrated by solemn treaties with them, is a flagrant violation of right, condemned by the goverament of the Union itself. Therefore, those enterprises must necessarily pe considered as illicit specula- Jations, and, in this case, they bave against them— First: our right, which, at least, be recog- nised and protected in the country from whence the aggression is coming. Second: the reprobation of the world, which cannot remain indifferent to this infraction of the common laws of all people, inflicted by daring adventurers upon a weak coun- try. Third: the want of a lucrative object to re compense those who favored and aided the enter- prises. s This last point deserves a special examination. What can be the basis on which the speculation of Walker, and of those who took part in it, is founded? Is it, perhaps, that of colonization? Let us examine this latter hypothesis. Tn the first place, we believe it to be an unde- niable fact that it matters very little to the compa- nies of merchants who furnish the money whether the so-called democratic system prevail in Central America or not, even though it should receive a practical application by distributing the land, strip- ping the inhabitants of their property, &c. It may ‘well that those principles be invoked to divide and to weaken the country, but there isa wide dis- tance from this point to that of the speculators hav- ing the least interest in whether this or that consti tution govern Central America. - There are not Fd gold washings to ‘urnish this recious metal without great labor. There are, in- ar the most fertile lands which, it will be said, may be cultivated to the greatest advantage. But, under our tropical sun, the European races are un able to work the soil, and thos slaves must necessarily be resorted to. But, how would it be possible to found and maintaia this abominable in- stitution in a vast, thinly pepulated and mountain- ous country, which for more than thirty years, lived under jaws declaring free whoever touched its #01)? Do we not see what efforts are necevary to main- tain it to-day on some relatively small islands, and in thove States of the North American ra. tion where it exists? Agricultural enterprises want more than any other, confilence, peace and securi- ty. Can they be found under a system of conquest? Would it be poxsible to entrust to the soil any seed whose fruits would not be torn out by the avenging hand of the oppressed’ If our country were, what it bas been described to be in the poetical fictions of some very superficial travellers, a real terrestrial paradise, where gold, silver, diamonds and emeralds were to be found easily without labor or machinery, perb: > such advantages might tempt the covetous- ness ome great Power to usdertake its conquest; but w. not believe that colonists will come by the bus to brave war,a burning climate, a poison- ed air, and the want of whatever in Europe makes life comfortable. To support this our opinion, we shall refer to what happened in Nicaragua during the eight months which have passed since the adventurers have raled over that country. What efforts have been made by Walker to draw immigration there? Fiattering pictures cf the country, teigned discoveries of great mineral riches; busy agents recruiting whatever stranger or native in the streets of New York, New Orleans or Sen Francisco, was disposed to searen for a fortune; free passages ia the steamboats; offers of Jand in a country which was purposely supposed to be entirely subfugated—in a word, whatever was capable to tempt the covetonsness ot those swarms of necessitous people-the disinherited children of modern civilization— was made use of; but the re sult was very far from answering what had been expected. : Many of these who went there, returned home dis- appointed. and net a small number paid for their credubty with their lives. If, then, a violent and forced colonization is im- possible. what other speculation will be able to re pay with protit the money which has been laid out in that enterprise? Let us suppose that the con- qeerers will recerve the promised shares of land. Yhat will they do with them’ Will incessant wars, fevers and dysentery leave them leisure to cnl- tivate them? or, is it, perhaps, but a stoc! bing trick, to pay, with land titles in Nicaragua, less people’ This is not impossible; but. in that case, the error would not last long, and truth would soon take itself known. Js the possession of the transit line between the two oceans the object desired? That line was already without any expense in the ona a company in New York, before Walker's ar- rival, to take hold of Nicaragua by sorprise and falsehood, to shoot the natives, and to despoil the landowners. Besides, the violent position wherein Nicaragua finds itself, will continue as long as this foreign and destructive element remains in its bo- fom, as the greatest obstacle to the transit line iteelf. Where, then, lies the possibility of bringing this bloody enterprise to a satisfactory end? bat does Walker intend to do, and wha’ are his views? In our judgment Walker is a maniac, as are many otbers d with the infatuation to be the founders ef anew republic. With this idea Walker went to Lower California, from whence he was driven out, don! \djouned his projects for 8 better opportunity. 14 he thought to meet with in the siteation of Nicaragua, exhausted by a civil war, and he ists still in his t to found a Bi according to his own fashion, in Fer of all kinds of inconveniences which here assail hia. In the meantime, our well founded opinion always Was, and still is, that Walker's enterprise has no solid foundation, and that his object belongs to that class which cannot be carried out. Up to this da; he hes maintained himself by extraordinary effor to procure some resources, bat these will soon be exbausted. Whether the pi jetors of the country who, in part, till now farni them, will be un- & able to do so any longer, or whether those who aided him from abroad, seeing that the money not fey Re outlay, will become tired, or ° whether Walker and his men will be driven from Nica oceupying your time with a re; ght, Ba right of nations, must, at last, be repressed by our Tesistance, BU; d not only by force of arms, but aiso by that of reason, which have justive on the part ef the people of the United States, trom | whence the attack first rendered tous eame, and aided by the sym of the whole world, which behokis es en enterprise that of our ene- mies, and cannot remain indifferent seeing the law e putiane trodden down and the weak oppressed by the x. Message of the Governor of Michigan—Kan- sas and Siavery. Governor Kinsley 8. Bingham transmitted his an- nual message to the Legislature of Michigan on the "th inst. The following are the views entertained by the Governor in regard to Kansas and the sla- very question :— At the last session of the Legislature I felt it m: duty to call attention to the strenuous efforts m: by the general government to extend the area and influence of ioe. and to the repeal of the Mis- souri compromise ‘by the last Congress. Without ition of the reasons I then presented for resisting the ambitious schemes of the few, comparatively, who are interested in the extension of that baleful element of society, I embrace the occasion emphatically to re-affirm them, and solicit for them your candid considera- tion. Events which have since transpired, which are now passing, and which are fot dowed in the fu- ture, confirm the gloomy apprehensions which were inspired by the passage of the Kausas Nebraska act. and utter a voice of warning which no ppestot —n0 lover of hberty and the right, and the privileges, se- cured by the constitution of the United States, can disregard. As the bill itself was the work of legis- lative craft, framed, or attempted to be faamed, in such @ manner as to enable the advocates of slavery extension to insist that it authorised slavery in the Territory, and those who dared not openly avow that object, to insist that it did not—thus presenting two opposite aspects to the country, but being in its visible purpose a fraud upon the free States; so has the enforcement of it by the present federal Execu- tive, and the instruments of his power, evinced the same spirit of fraud and injustice in which it had its birth. Scarcely had the pill become a law when the people of Missouri, inhabiting the borders, formed associations with the avowed purpose of making Kansas a slavebolding country, and of excluding and expelling all settlers who might not sympathize with them. To this end they early and unequivo- cally announced their intention to employ force. Felse and inflammatory rumors were put in circul: tion, imput'ng to free State settlers most crimi- nal intentions, and among these the purpose to sow discontent among the slaves of Missouri, and to de- coy them away from their masters. Unscrupulous, Sour and cunning demagogues performed the work of propagating calumny end false alarm, with such skill and perseverance as to electrify not only the border population, but to attract to the scene throngs of reckless and lawless adventurers from the slave States. In November, 1854, at the election of a delegate from the Territory to Con- gress, the different precincts were entered by bands of Missourians, ull in favor of epee 74 slavery into the Territory, but none ef them entitled to vote, who by intimidation and violence at the polls, usurp- ed the elective franchise of the peopie and sent a delegate of their own choosing; 8» manitest was the illegality ot this choice that the House refused wo admit him to a seat. But a far more serious usurpa- tion was practiced upon the people of the Territory at the election held in March, 1855, for members of the Territorial Legislature, that body to which the organic act gave the power to permit or prohibit slavery as they should think fit. The act declared, an express terns, that the people of the Territo: were left ‘perfectly free to rorm and regulate the own domestic institutions in thelr own way, subject only to the constitution of the United States.” And yet, alrhongh Kansas then contained not more than three thousand legal vo'ers, a large majority of whom were unquestionably opposed to the admission of slavery, not less than 4,00 Missourians, having more right to vote at the polls tpan had the inhabitants of any other State, entered the Territory in armed bands, with cavalry and artillery, took possession of all the polls, save one, insulted, maltrea’ed, and drove away the peaceable residents who came to vote, voted themselves, and thus retarned as mem- bers of the Legislature persons known only for their violent hostility to the tree State men. ‘The fact of this invasion and usurpation is placed beyond doubt by a mass of testimony which is no attempt to discredit, and it furnishes to the coun- try and the world, the first instance where the will ot an American a profeasedly enjoying the right of seli-goverument, has been completely frustrated by violence. The fact stands as a monu- ment of the dangers to be apprehended from the slave power, and no right thinking man can view it without the most fearful solicitude and alarm. This bedy of men assumed to legislate for Kansas. They enacted a code aes the legal existence of slavery there, and inflicting the severest penalties upon all who should act or even 5; against it. A code whose atrocions provisions have been justly pronounced, even by the supporters of the Kansas- erm act, as a “ disgrace to the civilization of € Hee. ‘That people from the free States should refuse to recognise the binding force of laws thus imposed upon them, and reject a magistracy to whose ap- pointment they had not consented, and whose prin- ciples and conduct were hatefal to their feelings, was to be expecied—unless, indeed, the delusion was cherished that Northern men have no respect, cither for their mgbts or for themselves. That they would not acquiesce ip an election so manifestly fraudulent, nor in a course of ——. which, by violating the freedom of and the press, as- sailed the constitation itself—and by prescribing odious test oeths ard unheard of disqualitice sions of voters and jurors, sought to annul the most vital provisions of the organ! , Was a8 easy to predict aa t> know the character of Northern freemen. And yet the President of the United States, fully aware of the fraud and force employed at the election, and of the barbarous and unconstitu'ional character of the Legislatare, has vot sernpled to lend his sanc- tion to both, by actually employing the military power as well as the appointing power, to consum- mate the scheme of forcing slavery into Kausas and sceqoening the free State meg into sub- mission, or driving them out of the Terri- tory. We have no ground to presume that this scheme will be abandoned. The power which started will still prosecute it, aiming ae it does, under a claim of constitutional right, to extend slavery into all the Territories of the United States. The contest between free labor and slave labor, between free society and slave society, will not probably termi- nate with the —— in Kansas, whatever may be the result there. teaches us that privilege never restrains its ambition to rule, nor abates a whit of its pretensions; and so long, as in our coun- try, it can surround itself with flatterers and para- sites, it will continue to struggle for culargement ané preponderance. Meanwhile we should not be unm‘ndfal of the great importance of the question now pending in Kansas. It is not to be forgotien that it was once solemnly dedicated to freedom—that that pledge has been wantonly ard rathlessly withdrawn—that the authors of the faithless act have invited a com- petition between free State and slave Sate settlers to determine whether it shall, for the future, be the happy home for the free labor of the hardy wars of our own, and the oppreseed and tale of other lands, or be blighted and cursed with human bondage--that on the —- ot the slave wer this contest, which should have been a peace- ‘ul one, bas been marked by acts of oppression and atrocity that would have disgraced a public enemy professing to be governed by laws of war— that free State men have been deliberately mur- dered— peaceful tamilies guilty of no crime, sive a dirlike to slavery, forcibly driven from thes homes by waranders, their houses burnt, or demolished, their effects plundered and their lands taken from them that whole settlements of free Sta'e men have thus been broken up, robbed, and dispered — that others entering the ¢ rautyy have been stypped, their arms and property taken from them, and they compelled to grapple with pinching want or to -e turn to their triends as best they could—that for dv fending their lives and property against armed aseoilents of the opposite party, settlers from the free States, incioding our own, have been seized and charged with murder, and tried for that hig offence, while, until very recently, not one individual of the South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Missis sippi or Missouri anes that have infested the Terr - tory, and been guilty of these outrages, has ever been apprehended tor his crimes! Such has been the cha- racter for ‘a of the representatives of the slay» power in Kansas.

They have <eliberately reite- rated their condemnation of the Missous: restriction, and of those of their public servants who, yielding to the demand of the slave power, gave the measure their support. They have condemned the barbarous policy pursued in Kansas. Their sympathies are awake to the trying and destitute situation of their brethren there. And I have the fullest confidence that some measure authorized by the constitution, calculated to relieve their necessities, to animate their hopes and to sustain their efforts, will meet the hearty approbation of our constituents. That emigrants from Michigan, thus situated in a federal Territory, are beyond the reach of our protection, I cannot ‘for a moment con- cede. Under the federal constitution we can- not perhaps raise and arm men to protect them, nor 1s such a step contemplated or desiced. But the right to minister vo their wants, in food, clothing, and other necessary means ; the right to rotect them from the ri, of winter, and the orrors of beggary and starvation, to which un- bridled audacity, and unpunished crime under the ironical names of “law and order,” have ex- posed them, cannot be doubted. I therefore recom- mend the adoption of sueh measures of relief, as in your wisdom hast may think fitting the occasion and worthy of the residents of a State whose soil . consecrated to freedom by the ordinance of 1787. I had the honor of transmitting to our Senators in Congress, the resolutions of instructions which were passed on the 26th January, 1855, pospectias slavery in the Territories of the United States, a the Fugitive Slave law of 1850, and they were by them presented to the Senate. I regret to say that although they have heretofore recognised the right of legislative instruction, they have not thought roper thus far to comply with their requirements. Whatever doubt may have been entertained, at the time of their passage, as to their representing the deliberate judgment of the pete of this State, must’ nave been completely dissipated by the strang condemnation which has been expressed of the Kansas-Nebraska act, and of those who deemed it their duty to support and sustain it, atthe recent Presidential election. I submit to your judgment the propriety of passing similar resolutions of instruction, and of again placing upon record the .fact. that whatever changes may have been going on in the minds of individuals or poli- ticians, the people of Michigan still earnestly cling to the pansion of the ordinance of 1787—that they still adhere to their own legislative resolulions of 1847, go often reit since— ‘that Mee ah74 has Soe poner, and thw it is their duty to prohibit by legislative enact it the introduction or exis- tence of elavery within any of the Territories of the United States, now or hereafter to be acquired.” The character of States, like that of individuals, is formed while in a state of pupilage. Those Ter- ritories in which slavery has been prohibited under the guardianship and protection of Congress, have invariably become free and prosperous States; and whenever that protection has been withdrawn from the Territories, States have arisen, which are now suffering from the disgrace and blight of human bondage. Surrogate’s Court. Before A. W. Bradford. TWO WIDOWS FIGHTING FOR ONE DOWER—DECISION IN FAVOR OF WIDOW No. 2. Saturpay, Jan. 10, 1857.—Jn the matter of the Estate of John Black, deceased.—The litigants in this case are two persons, each of whom claim dower in the estate of John Black, deceased, as his widow. The tacts are briefly as follows:—John and Rebecca Biack married in 1825, lived together twelve years, and had two children. In 1837, Mrs. Black left her husband. After living in practical ce- libacy for a dozen years, the husband, having made an unsuccessful application to the a of New York, had recourse toa Court of Chancery of New Jersey, where his wife had been residing, and finall, procured a decree vobgeson him @ vinculo matri- monii— wilful desertion, by husbazd or wife, for five | fact of the pendency of the proceedings. 18, being sufficient ground for divorce, Jersey statutes, ded the de- have been an actual resident of the gz those years. The bill was filed in Sep- tember, 1850, and the decree entered in 1850. John Black shortly thereafter took to himself another a in the person of a lady, who became Mrs. lizabeth Black. Elizabeth and Rebecca severally ask letters of administration as John’s only true and lawful wife. The Suriogate delivered a ion; id elaborate decision in the premises this morning, of which we present an abstract. The Surroj re- garcs all the materisl facts necessary to give the court which granted the divorce jurisdiction, as al- leged in the bill and established by the evidence, avd al) the proceedings regular on their face. Toe writs of the decree pronounced cannot therefore be inves tigated coliaterally in another case, since, under tae United states statutes and decisions, the same credit ia required to be given in all the States to a judicial record that it possesses in the State where it was renoered. The main question in the case, then, comes to be whether the court had jurisaiction over the person of the defendant—tbe rule of law on this point veing that no one is bound personally by jadi cial eee without express or constrictive no- tice. In case such notice be nut actually made, a recital in the record, asserting the due service of process is not conclusive, otherwise the right to impeach a re- cord would be no right at all. Did the defendant re- ceive legal notice of the suit, and is she therefore bound by the judgment? The defendant asserts that she was in Connecticut between the time in which the subpcena against her was issued and the Sheriff's return of “served,” having prior to this time lived in Bellevilie, N. J. On this point there is conflicting testimony, bat the Sarrogate’s view of the law ooes not compel hin to pass on the question of at issue. He decides that :— ® 1, The record is presumptive evidence of jurisdic jon. 2. Mra. Rebecca Black had a fixed and anent residence in New Jersey at the time of the institu- i ¢ the Bis for divorce. . By the New Jersey statute a subpoena to ay ir and answer may be nerve on the ‘defendant persone ally, or by leaving a copy thereof at her usual place of residence, and the ‘testimony and return of “ served,” in the Sheriff's handwriting—he being dead—raises the presumption that the statute was complied with. proof, the return of the officer 4. As a matter of is itself evicence of the facts alleged in it, amd can- not be impeached collaterally, but only by an action for a falee return on an application to the court issuing the process by a party interested in the 5. There is sufficient proof of valid and construc- tive notice. even if the return were impeachable-— since it hax not been impeached. 6. The court must have less reluctance in conclud- ing Mrs. Black, by the decree of divorce, in view of the fact that she nad notice of the existence of the suit ond the rendition of the verdict of the decree. It might bave been oppored, on good cause shown, but she made neither sign nor opposition, and thongh conscious that her hushand wished to obtain & position of freedom, and that a fotore wife might be placed in an unhanpy position if the proceedings were irregular, “never waked up to a eense of her dormant rights till her hnsband was in the grave and his property about to be distribnted.”” Aa between a party thus chargeable with notice and with /aches, and one entirely innocent and with- out notice, there will be no struggle to invalidate this decree—the intendment of the law in favor of the due service of process, the truth of the Sheriff's return, and the jurisdiction of the Court, rendering the judgment, will be strengthened and not weakened, and even if the defendants were allowed to impeach the officer's return, she would be put to the most strict, convincing and undeniable proof that service had not been made in either of the modes allowed by the statute of New Jersey. I am of opinion that service of copy at her residence in Belleville was snfficient, and that each service has not been disap- proved. This was constructive notice in law, and without passing upon the question of personal ser- vice, I om also satisfied that she had not eo in must, therefore, hoid that the decree of divorce is valid, and that the recon. marrioge ot the intestate with Elizabeth Black wes lawtul and regular. As the widow of the deceu«! rhe is entitled to letters of panera ana to a distriontive share of his estate. Court of General Sexstons, Before Judge A.D. Russell, A MOTION TO PERMIT EXTENSIVE Q)UTRAPFITERS TO GO FRER—THE ACTORA IN TH) STANWIX HALL TRAGEDY ARE TO BE TRIED. Jan. 10.— His Honor sat this morning for the pur- pose of hearing motions. Counsel for James M. Taylor and Jeremiah L. Taylor, who are charged with having feloniously in their poesession with anintent to utter and publish as true, forged and counterfeit bills, nnrporting to be {sued by the Morristown lank of New Jersey, the Farmers’ Bank of Onondags, and other banks to a large amount, appeared to move for their discharge on a point of law. ‘The ! istrict Attorney moved that » & month ago, and gave bail in the sum of $5.000. Although the m had no right in law to extend the of an ex- amination, he did eo ; and at the time the bail was the bail to $10,000. This certiorari was brought first to see whether Judge Davidson had the right to increase the , and secondly whether the facts sworn to in these oy give him jurisdiction over the accused. ‘hese pspers were put before the Grand Jary in De- cember, while this examination was pending, and counsel informed the District At that if an indictment was found upon them, could be . ‘The senior counsel for the aceused observed that the ot int to be disposed of was: If a magis- trate, hi taken bail for the appearance of these men in the Court of General Bodcos, has a right to cancel that bond, and increase the amount of bail so far as the fixing of the bailwas coucerned? He could only have jurisdiction of the case by retarnin; the bond to the Court of Sessions on ‘the first Lagi ‘The magistrate had no more power to make that commitment than he (the speaker) had Mr. Hall said he felt a great interest in this case, on account of the sharp ice which had been pur- sued relative to it by the counsel for the accused. He asked the Court, under the full commitment of the magistrate, that they be handed over to the pro- per custody of the Warden of the City Prison. Judge Russell said that his mind was made up that there was no legal right vested in the trate to take bail pending an examination. This matter came up before him to inquire into the cause of detention—that he took to be the only point pre- sented for his consideration. Under the statements made by the counsel, he did not thiak that the ends of public justice would be defeated by suffering the matter to lie over till Soar: The District Attorney—I hope that Justice Davidson will see that those parties are committed. Judge Russell—That is Justice Davidson’s busi- ness, sir. The District Attorney informed the Court that Patrick McLoughlin, alius Paudeen, was charged with assaulting policemen, and he asked that he be committed without bai! tothe Warden of the City Prison. Mr. Hall said he had been very lenient heretofore towards this man, and public justice re- quired that he should be committed without fail. The Judge granted the motion. The District Attorney would publicly state that Paudeen’s trial on this an former charges, for as- saulting Lecraft and Poole, and the indictment against Lynn, implicated in the Stanwix Hall tra- gedy, and cases of a similar nature, would be com- Meuced a week from next Monday. An important arson case is put down for next Monday. P ‘Theatrical and Musical Matters. Sacrep Concent.—The German Opera troupe, which numbers among its members several excel- lent instrument performers as well as vocalists, will give a select sacred concert at the Broadway theatre this eveniog. The programme embraces the production of the most eminent composers. Tue Bucxiey’s, assisted by Dodworth’s re- nowned band, will give the fifth of their series of lar sacred concerts, at their new and elegant ll, 585 Broadway, this evening. They have selected an unusual number and variety of the finest gems, both for voice and instrument. Broapway TueaTre.—Mr. Forrest will continue to play on alternate nights (with the German Opera company) during the coming week. To- morrow he is to personate his much ad- mired character of King Lear in Sore "8 dy. This announcement will most likely tragedy. fill the house tofjits greatest capacity. Nrs10’s GarpENn.—Wallace’s ever popular opera, entitled “Maritana,” is to be given by the Pyne and Harrison troupe, for the first time this season, to- morrow evening. Miss Louisa Pyne is to render the character of the heroine, and Mr. W. Harrison that of Don Cesar de Bazan. Bowrny THeatre.—Shakspere’s play of “King John,” as so eg up at ‘als Lense, con- tinues sufficiently attractive to warrant its continu- ance on the bills. The cast, a most superior one, will remain the same throughout the ensuing week. “Born to Good Luck,” with Mr. Brougham as the hero, is to be the afterpiece to-morrow. Bunron’s TnraTre —The lovers BA old come- dies cannot be otherwise than gratil ith the an- nouncemeni that Coliey Cibber's roduction, entitled “She Would and She Would Not,” is to be it, by Mrs. Barrow, Messrs, layed to-morrow ni, Burt new comedietta of “Our on, Fisher, &c.

It is styled “Rachael, the Reaper for Clouds and Sunshine,” and he leading characters are to be nated by Miss Keene apd Messrs. Burnett, Johnston and Wheat- leigh. “Young Bacchus” is the afterpiece. AmeEntcay Museum.—The season closed at this exceedingly popular place of resort last night, but asthe next season opens to-morrow evening it is improbable the public will attach much importance to this matter further than as regards the dramatic artists employed, a list of whose names will be found on the bills.“ Cinderella” has been found 80 profitable that it has been determined to con- tinue it a while longer. Groroe Cristy axp Woon's Minsrrexs tender achoice selection of Ethiopian songs, dances, &c., for tomorrow evening, besides the farce of “ New Year's Calls," which 1s having, aud most deservedly, a great run, being now in its third week. Tus Bucriey’s—These unsurpassed delineatora of ne; eccentricity will to-morrow night give the initial representation of still another operatic bur- lesque, fou on * Juan.” It is represented os overflowing with fun and melody. Mn. Gorrsouark’s Corgant, tor the benefit of Mr. Bookstaver, is to take place at Dodworth’s rooms néxt Tuesday evening. General Ethan Alien, 70 TRE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. You said a short time ago that General Allen never had a“ dying daughter,” which is a point that I would discuss. If you mean thit he never had a daughter that died in his lifetime, and effected his conversation, this may be; but if you mean never had a daughter, not now living, it is not cor- rect. He left a daughter, and it is a eurious fact, not generally known, that Miss Allen, though so brought vp im her father’s free-thinking, that sne showed her irreligious i during ber baptism, when she did at her mother’s wish receive it, never- theless became a very fervent Catholic, and died in the Hotel Dieu, or Convent of the Au nian nuns, at Montreal, the scene of Maria Monk's romance. An account of Miss Alien, and the steps by which this danghter of an American general Tecssee ananina Canadian convent will be tound in Faillon, Vie de Mdile.
