Whosoever bas old chronicle n interest in perusing our least attention to our tra- snsinitted orally as re- es, well know that the Rica, as well as those coasts of Nicaragua and Cc of Panama, aud even the iniand cities, have, at times, been disiuibed by pirasica! invasions’ which spread terror and consternation aaong the inhabitants ot those usually peaceable countries, Walker 18 not the first adventurer sb» fmghtened the population of Nicaragua: others #s mach or more daring than he have per-ued this course with more or less suc- cess, according to circumstances. The present chief of filibus'ers, tuerefore, has uo merit of originality, for strictly speaking, be most be considered only as a kind of plagiary of the Morgans, the Charpes, and ethers less known The vast possessions of Spain on the American continent could not easily be defended, their extend- ed shores bathed by the Cari/boean sea and the Paci- fic ocean being almost e+ tack. On some importuit thagena, Omoe aud othe: were fortifications, but the extensive coast live was necessarily left un- i. To this cinam be attributed that the Spaniards, for the most part, founded their principal citics in the interior; for, otherwise, they would have been exposed, not only to the aggressions of corssirs and pirates who, es- pecially inthe midst of toe 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 o! the bistory of those coun- tries, who is often cited by tore who have occupied themseives with tue lustory of that period anterior to ‘independence (Alecd.), thus describes the ad- venturers who, dering the year 1660, invaded the Spanish establish: im ‘that part of the world: —Filibusters those urs are called, er rather pirates, who, velonging to sil nations, established | themselves under the uame of buccaneers on the island of Santo Domingo. Some of them who were not contented with tuat Jile, to she number of forty or fifty, bought a boat an) elected a commanier, with whom they wer whatever vessel they might meet with. On account of their facilities for geowins rich, and of their liberty to indulge in al! kim. of the most abomi- nable vices, their num» sreased considerably, and having become f the small island of Tortuga and of some large boats they began to attack the ports and coas's of the Spaniards, com- mitting the greatest atrocities.’ We find in our own history of that period that in the year 1671, whea, after the o.d city of Panama having been taken and burnt, the pirates were pre- paring to invade with their ships the coasta of Nica- ragua and Costa Ries, forces «ere gathered to defend them, and that Guatemala slo sent her aid. In the years 1651 and 1086, the pirates, under the command of the French adventurer, Charpe, entered the port of Caldera, sacked und burned the city of Esparza, in Costa Rica, and carried away as prison- ers a great many persons whom, for a ransom of $1,000, they put szain ashore. According to the same writer, the city of Leon, capital of the province of Nicaragua, was plundered im the year 1655, by a band of pirates, almost in the sight of a corps of troops who were unable to hinder it. The port of Realejo was frequently attacked by such dangerous guests Is is not the first time that Granada, to-day the headquarters of adventurers not less ferocious 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 Ls cayo. reported, in the year 175%, in this respect, to the King of Spain:— “This city could to-éay be one of the most opu- lent of the provi t jandered three times; twice in Juan, and avother time by the way Escalante, a port sita ated at a distance o! twenty leagues, on the Pacific ocean. On the 7th of Apr, 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 au int hment 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 exemy, by a forced march, approached the e, and, after @ short fizht, carried it, On the foliowing day he proposed ty the inhabitants to set them free for » ransom, or, in case of refusal, to fire their t.wo. They, believing it to be a mere threat, seceded only to the proposition when they saw the oburch of San Francis d ewht dwelling houses eet on fire. The enemy having done this mis- chie!, retired with the but thirteen men.” ‘The 13th October of 1°55 reminds us toa certain Cegree of the Sth April of 1685; but to-day cireum- stances are very different from what they were that ime. The four handred pirates who then at- tacked Graneda did no otber harm than what has been stated. and retired satisfied with the ransom which the frightened jahabitants were obliged to pay. To-day the filibusters are not content with so ittle. 4 treaty of surrender which puts all at the discretion of the adventurers is the prize, as well as the lives ané property of the prineipal inhabitants, and the pirates 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 seveutcenth—a strange contrast and fit to provoke painful reflections. Neither was Hoodaras spared the szourge of piracy: for Truxillo aud Olarcho, in the year 1688, were eitacked and plundered by adventurers, who carried away the Governor aud other persons, for whose liberfy they received u ransom of five thou- sand dollars. Lastly, Goatemala itself was on the point of being threatened with an invasion »y the pirates; for. ter having attacked the pert o Realejy and the city of Leon in the year 16%5, they intended to overran the eapital of the kingdom,«vtering by the bar of Iztapan. As soon as this wes known, mea-ures of defence were taken, by cw verting Escuintla into a depot of arms, and asembling there, besides the military forces the cistrict, three companies of the city of Gautemala and tive of the valley. Moreover, Spain, at the time, was not left alone in the care of pursaing and destroying the pirates who in‘ested her establishments. We know by our ancient bistory that England and France did not see with indifference those scandalous violations of inter- national law, but quite the contrary, contributed effi- caciously by their naval forces tofvee the sea from the pirates who caused such serious damages. The Duke of Albemarle, Governor of Jamaica, re ceived from the British eoverowent @ special com- mission to pursue the pirates and discharged himself of it in eo efficient a manner that he ordered what- ever filitasters fell into hands to be hanged—a measure which insured tranquillity to the ports and coasts of Spanish America, and did great honor to the Duke, who died in 16 The Count of Bienae, 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 filiimsterism in Central America, to reappear two hundred years later, almost on the same poirts as it did the first time, sod under eircumstances ‘omewhat analo- gous ty those which accompanied these daring enter- prises at the end of the 17th century. but the continvation of this kind of piracy in Centra! America requires & separate article. From tbe eame pan) As we remarked in the forezoing article, there is 8 certain analogy between the respective characters of those piraticsl expeditions against Central Ame rica which took place at the close of the seventeenth cenary, and those going on in our own time. Now, as then, it .« the adventurous epirit which gives the impoive to this kind of enterprise: its last object be- ing no other than to procure to the adventurers cer- tain Pdeoutay There ie in reality no political, * principle which inspires those whatever may be the pretensiows, t them with the dome «tic disensions of the country or to present then as the moans of propa- gating democrat'c principles The auatowy between the euterpriees of those two peiots chifty bee in this point, that those of our days, ws wel as those of former times, do nut recoguiee any pnblic ight such as is ac- knewled ze’ hy ail nations. Soth involve the vio- lation of the adriitied cor pact whereupon the exist- ence of society reposex to assert on the part of other States that _— for the government of a nation ls ended, as well ae the right of property to her ter- ritory.

In those jitions the of °) re been com: ts appropriation the other case, it was government of the natives, and to effectuate their overthrow in the name of 4 i cratic principles, but in reality for the profit only of the deatro)er. Te day Cree expeditions are started from @ reiehbor ne coon’) where irit of speculation ous a Corlao lagiy i politwal inswtations combing tance itis, perhaps, to | to sea torob and plunder | ! to render them possible The invasion of Cubs was | organized in the United Staves as a great specula- tion, whereby a positive protit, it was believed, would be gained. ‘An abundance of money, and that feb- rile passion for stockjobbing, which seems to be one of the infirmities of our time have a large share 1n these kind of enterprises. They are promoted or fomented by some enterprising speculators, and there is never wanting a daring adventorer who puts himself at the bead, 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 bas 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 bold of the government, arms, and public revenues, disposed of the land, and, in short, exercised sove- reign anthority, although he preserved a shadow of native government by which, however, nobody has been deceived, either in Central america or elsewhere. As has been obsereed, 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 pur- pose he made to immigrants the most liberal offers of land which did not belong to bim; caused to be trumpeted! forth discoveries of great mineral riches, and tried to conceal or to extenuate the real incon- veniences 4 { the enterprise. However, these are such that, in our opinion, there is no possibility whatever to overcome them. By reflecting a moment on the ane which is now being made in Nicaragua, and taking in considera- tion all the circumstances of it any on of sound udgment will come to the conclusion that this ea- terprise is not one of those which presen: a charac- | ter of permanence and stavi icy We ask permission to eupport our opinion by some considerations. The conquest of and domination over Nicaragua seems to be impossible, withont the conquest of the \ rest of that coun'ry with which that republic is united morally if not politicatly. The social changes which would he the necessary consequence of such a conquest, viz.:—the spoliation of the actual pro- riewors: the destruction of religious unity; the Le alterations of the Legislature, language and customs; the sypjugation of the mass of the p2ople— 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 will yield only when the invaders, pos- sessing considerable means, would be enabled by them to exterminate even the idea of resistance. Let us see what those means ure. The settin ont oi such piratical expedifions from the Unite States, whose government has recognised the po- litical existence and individuality of these repuab- | hes, and is on terms of friendship and peace, con- secrated by solenm treaties with them, is a flagrant violation of right, condemned by the goverament ofthe Union itself, Therefore, those enterprises must recessarily pe considered as illicit specula- | Jations, and, in this case, they bave against them— First: our right, which, at least, must 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 in‘raction of the common laws of all people, inflicted by daring adventurers upor a weak coun- try. Third: the want of a lucrative object to re- compense those who favored and aided the enter- prises. : 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 fernish 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- ing the inhabitants oi their property, &c. It may fe 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 i gold washings to ‘urnish this recious metal without great labor. There are, in- eed, 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 maintaio this abominable in- stitution in a vast, thinly populated and mountain- ous country, which for more than thirty years, lived under laws declaring tree whoever touched its sou!” Do we not see what efforts are neceiary to main- tain it to-day on some relatively small islands, and in those States of the North American confedera- 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 possible to entrust to the soil any seed whose fru ts would uot be torn out by the avenging hand of the oppressed’ If eur country were, what it bas been described to be in the poetival fictions of some very superficial travellers, a real terrestrial paradise, whiere 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 undertake its conquest; but wy not believe that colonists will come by the bun to brave war, a burning climate, a poison- ed air, and the want of whatever in Earope makes life confortable. 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, 'eigned discoveries of great mineral riches: busy agents recruiting whatever stranger or native in the streets of New York, New Orieans or Sen Francisco, was disposed to search for a fortune; free passages in the steamboats; offers of land in a country which was purposely supposed to be entirely subfugated—in a word, whatever was capable to tempt the covetoosness of those swarms of necessitons people--the disinherited children of modern civilization— waa 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 eredubty with their liv 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 rece:ve the promised shares of land. ‘hat 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! 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 tnake itself known. Is the possession of the transit line between the | two oceans the object desired? That line was already without any expense in the possession of a bm ag | 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- tom, as the greatest obstacle to the transit line iteelf. Where, then, lies the possibility of bringing thie bloody enterprise to a satisfactory end? What does Walker intend to do, and what are his views? In our judgment Walker is a maniac, as are many others possessed with the infatuation to be the founders of anew republic. With this idea Walker went to Lower California, from whence he was driven out, and doubt! djourned his projects for a better opportunity. ia he thought to meet with in the siteation of Nicaragua, exhausted by a civil war, and he ists still in his project to found a State accordi his own fashion, in spite 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 ngs to that class which cannot be carried out. Up to this day he bes maintained himself by extraordinary efforts to procure some resources, bat these will soon be exbausted. Whether the proprietors of the country who, in part, till now furnist them, will be un- able to do so any longer, or whether those who aided him from abroad, seeing that the money 4 pot repay the outlay, will become tired, or lastl¥, pee may Foe LL ys be driven | ical , certain it is that his enter; will mabe no further p ro} , hor produce the re- sult bis promoters capeotel from i ¥ seems to be more conformable to the will and to the plans of Providence thinly populated, be open to and worked hy mul inl 5 n wor multi- tudes.

Messoge of the Governor of Michigan—Kan- sas and Slavery. Governor Kinsley 8. Bingham transmitted his an- nual message to the Legislature of Michigan on the 7th 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 slavery, and to the repeal of the Mis- souri compro! yy the last Congress. Without ocoupying your time with a repetition 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, [ embrace the occasion emphatically to re-affirm them, and solicit for them your candid considera- tion. Events which have since transpired, whivh are now passing, and which are for dowed in the fu- ture, confirm the gloomy apprehensions which were bea ge by the passage of the Kausas Nebraska act. and utter a voice of warning which no vege lover of hberty and the right, and the privileges, se- cured by the constitution of the United States, can disregard. As the hill 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 te 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 hog unequivo- cally announced their intention eapby force. Felse and inflammatory rumors were put in circula- tion, imputing to free State settlers most crimi- nal intentions, and among these the purpoze to sow discontent among the slaves of Missouri, and to de- coy them away trom their masters. Unscrupulous, noisy 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 adventorers from the slave States. In November, 1854, at the election of a delegate from the Gattis to Con- gress, the different precincts were entered by bands of Missourians, allin favor of introducing slavery into the Teniitory, 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; s» manitest was the illegality ot this choice 1! House 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 boiy to which the organic act gave the power to permit or prohibit slavery as they should think fit. The act declared, in 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, althongh 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 4.900 Missonrians, having no more right to vote at the pollstpan had the inhabitants of any other State, entered the Territory in armed hands, with cavalry and artillery, took possession of all the polls, save one, insulted, itrea’ed, and drove uway 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 ‘thore is no attempt to discredit, and it furnishes to the coun- try and the world, the first instance where the will tan American community, profeasedly enjoying the right of veli-goverumeut, has been completely trostrated 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 leg en ‘islate for Kansas. They ted a code recognising tie legal existence of ery there, and inflicting the severest penalties m all who should act or even speak against it. A code whose atrocions provisions have been justly —— even by the sapporters of the Kunsas- bogey act, as a ‘ disgrace to the civilization of € ape. ‘That people from the free States should refase to recognise the binding force of laws thus imposed upon them, and a poe a magistracy to whose ap- pointment they had not consented, and whose prin- ciples and conduct were hateful to their feclings, was to be expecied—unless, indeed, the delusion was cherished that Northern men have no respect, cither fur their nights or for themselves. That they would not acquiesce ip an election so manifestly fraudulent, nor in a course of legislation, which, by violating the freedom of » and the press, as- sailed the constitation itself—and by prescribing odsous test oeths ard unheard of disqualitice sions of voters and jurors, sought to annal the most vital provisions of the organic act, was as easy to predict as 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 wnconstitu'fonal character of the Legislature, has vot serupled to lend his eans- tion to both, by actually employing the military power as well as the appointing power, to consum- le the scheme of forcing slavery into Kausas Gragooning the free State meq into, sub mi en, or driving them out of the Terri- tory. We bave no ground to presume that this echieme wil! be abandoned. The power which started will still prosecute ming a# it does, under a claim of constitutiona: 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- hate with the struggle in Kansis, whatever may be the result there. geen? 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 eulargement ané preponderance Meanwhile we sbonid 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—t! that pledge has been wantonly ard ruthlessly withdrawn—that the authors of the faithless act have invited a com- petition between free State and slave Scate settlers to determine whether it shall, for the future, be the happy home for the tree labor of the hardy pioncers of our own, and the oppreseed and banished ot other lands, or be blighted and cursed with human bondage--that on the = ot the slave og 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— fal tamilies guilty of no cnme, save a dislike to slavery, forcibly driven from theu 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, robved, and dispered — that others entering the c ae have been stopped, their arms and property taken from them, and they compelled to grapple with pinching want or to turn to their friends as best they could—that for fendiog their lives and property against arm aseoilonts of the opposite party, settlers from th free States. incinding 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, Miasis sippi or Missouri anes that have infested the Terr - tory, and been guilty of these gateagen, has over boon apprehended tor bis crimes! Such hes been the cha- racter my oo of i iano of the slay» power ansas. Let them no surprised if the; shall one day find that there is a retribution ! 7 From intormation which is reliable, and fact which are notorious, it is evident that this unjus ole op ott ap peg hy b cept up. ropaga’ wery know too well the value of the stake for which they are play- or relax an effort—and Our haa contributed its full of emigrants to Kaneas. Many of thend eke sor and reduced to allowing slavery to go into Kansas, or elsewhere upon nal now free. They have deliberately reite- rated their condemnation of the Missousi 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 fallest 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 co: ents. That rom 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 perbaps raise and arm men to protect them, nor is such a step contemplated or desiced. But the right to minister to their wants, in food, clothing, and other necessary means ; the right to rotect them from ti rigors of winter, and the orrors of beggary and starvation, to which un- bridled audacity, snd unpunished crime under the ironical names of “law and order,” have ex- posed them, cannot be doubted. I therefore recom- mend the adoption of such measures of relief, as in your cen yo may think fitting the occasion and worthy of the residents of a State whose soil was consecrated to freedom by the ordinance of 1787. I had the hoaor of transmitting to our Senators in Congress, the resolutions of instructions which were passed on the 26th January, 1855, respectin; slavery in the Territories of the United States, an 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 people 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, at the recent Presidential election. I snbmit to your judgment the Paging 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- ticiacs, the people of Michigan still earnestly cling to the peace of the ordinance of 1787—that they still adhere to their own legislative resolulions of 1847, 80 often rei d since—‘‘that Con has Led er, and thi® it is their duty to prohibit by legislative enactment 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 witudrawn 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, Sarurpay, 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 finally procured a decree Rr hg B him @ vinculo mitri- monii— wilful desertion, by husbazd or wife, for five consecutive a, being sufficient ground for divorce, under the New Jersey statutes, the de- fendant shall have been an actual resident of the State doring those years. The bill was filed in Sep- tember, 1850, and the decree entered in 1850. John Black shortly thereafter took to himself another — 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 Jawful wife. The Suriogute delivered a iong anu elaborate decision in the premises this morning, of which we present an abstract. Sarro, re- garcs all the materil facts necessary to give the coort which granted the divorce jurisdiction, as al- leged in the bill and established by the evidence, and al) the proceedings regular on their face. Tae writs of the decree pronounced cannot therefore be inves tigated col\aterally in another case, since, under tae United States statutes and decisions, the same credit is required to be giver in all the States to a judicial record that i+ 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 —- without express or constructive no- tice. In case such notice be nut actually made, a recital in the cbt mgr ton fa 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 subpana against her was issued and the Sheriff's return of “ served,” having prior to this time lived in Bellevilic, N. J. On this point there is conflicting testimony, but the Sarrogate’s view of the law oes not compel hin to pass on the question of factat issve. He decides that :— e 1, The record is presumptive evidence of jurisdic jon. 2. Mra. Rebecca Black had a fixed and permanent residence in New Jersey at the time of the institu- tion of the snit for divorce. 3. By the New Jersey statute a subpoena to appear fendant person- and answer may be served on the di i a copy thereof at her usual place nee, and the testimony and return of in the Sheriff's handwriting—he being dead—taise. the presumption that the statute was complied with. 4. As a matter of proof, the return of the officer is itself evidence of the facts alleged in it, amd can- not be impeached collaterally, but only by an action for a faire return on an application to the court issuing the process by a party interested in the € There is sufficient proof of valid and construc- | tive notice. even if the return were impeachable— since it has not been impeached. 6. The court mast have leas reluctance in conclad- ing Mrs. Biack, by the decree of divorce, in view of the fact that she had notice of the existence of the stat ond the rendition of the verdict of the decree. It might have been oppoved, on good cause shown, but the made neither sign nor opposition, and thongh conscious that her husband wished to obtain & position of freedom, and that a futore wife might be placed in an unhanpy position if the proceedings were irregular, “ r waked up to a sense of her dormant rights till her hnsband was in the grave and his property about to be distribnted. As between a party thus chargeable with notice and with lache: 1d 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 ot New Jersey. I am of opinion that service of copy at her residence in Belleville was snfficient, and that euch service has not been disap- proved. This was constructive notice in law, and without passing upon the question of personal ser- vice, I am also satisfied that she had not notice in fact of the pendency of the proceedings. I must, therefore, hoia that the decree of divorce is valid, and that the recon. marriage of the intestate with Elizabeth Black wes lawtal and regular, As the widow of the deceos | «he is entitled to letters of administration, ani to a distriontive share of his estate. Court of General Sessions, Before Judge A.D. Russell, A MOTION TO PREMIT EXTENSIVE 4/0 STRRPRITERS TO GO FRER—THE ACTORS IN TH) S)ANWIX 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 1. Taylor, who are charged with having feloniously in their possession with anintent to utter and publish as true, forged and counterfeit bills, nurporting to be jeued by the Morrictown Hank of New Jersey, the Farmers’ Bank of Onondags, and other banks to a large amount, appeared to move for their discharge given two witnesses, Masterson and Kelly, sworn, but since that no other person was 5 He and his associate croasexamined them from time on would preter to have the matter Court of higher jurirdiction. He of Jaw was not well taken, and proposed to increase SUNDAY, JANUARY 11, 1857. the bail to $10,000, This certiorari was brought first to see whether Judge Davidson had the a! to increase the 1» secondly whether the facts sworn to in these ad 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 Attorney that if an indictment was found upon them, it could be quashed. ‘The senior counsel for the aceused observed that the o1 int to be disposed of was: If a magis- trate, bi taken bail for the appearance of these men in the Court of General Sessions, has a right to cancel that bond, and increase the amount of bail so far as the fixing of the bailwas concerned? He could only have jurisdiction of the case by returnin, the bond to the Court of Sessions on ‘the first o' Layo’ 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- 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 vb the counsel, he did not thiak that the ends of public justice would be defeated by suffering the matter to lie over till Monday. The District Attorney—I hope that Justice Davidson will see that those parties are committed. Judge Russell—That is Justice Davidson’s busi- ness, Bir. The District Attorney informed the Court that Patrick McLoughlin, alias 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 and 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. : ‘Theatrical and Musical Matters.

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 ing Lear in Shakspere’s tragedy. This announcement will most likely fill the house tofjits greatest capacity. Nisio’s GarpEen.—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. Bowrxy Taeatre.—Shakspere’s play of “King John,” as so admirably up at ‘tthe Sone, con- tinues ements 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 TreaTae —The lovers of good old come- dies cannot be otherwise than gratified with the an- nouncemeni that Colley Cibber’s famous projaction, entitled “She Would and She Would Not,” is to be layed to-morrow night, by Mrs. Barrow, Messrs. on, Fisher, &c. new comedietta of “Our Wife” follows. Watrack’s.—A new drama that is reported to abound in pecuhar interest and startling effect, en- titled “Lhe Creole,” is to be produced to-morrow night.

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. Amentcan Musevm.—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, « list of whose names will be found on the pills.“ Cinderella” has been found so profitable that it has been determined to con- tinue it a while longer. Groroe Cristy axp Woon's Mixstrets tender achoice selection of Ethiopian songs, dances, &c., for tomorrow evening, besides the farce of “ New Year's Calls,” which 1s having, and most deservedly, a great run, being now in its third week. Tus Buckiry’s—These unsurpassed delineators of ne; eccentricity will to-morrow night give the initial representation of still another operatic bur- lesque, founded on “ Don Juan.” It is represented ‘os overflowing with fun and melody. Mn. GorrscuaLx’s Corgant, tor the benefit of Mr. Bookstaver, is to take place at Dodworth's rooms néxt Tuesday evening. Generat Ethan Allen, 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 that 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 fs not eor- rect. He left a daughter, and it is a curious fact, not generally known, that Miss Allen, though so brought up im her father’s free-thinking, that she showed her irreligious ideas 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 Diew, or Convent of the Augustinian nuns, at Montreal, the scene of Maria Monk's romance. An ount of Miss Alien, and the steps by which this danghter of an American general became a non ina Canadian convent will be tound in Faillon, Vie de Mance, a history of the foundress of the @ avent, published recently in France.
