The plunder of Granada, by all accounts, was ‘RO inconsiderable matter. In revent numbers of the Pana ma Star, which have just reached us, we have an account of the mystematic mapper in which the destruction was conducted. On tae 2ist of November last Walker caused hie followers—about $00 in number—to be pwaded, wheu when they were, under his authority, thus ad. dreseed by an officer: —‘ Fellow-soldiers, his Excellency William Waiker is fully aware of the fact that for the last oight months you baye not re- ceived one dollar in cash for your long and faithful ser- ‘vice, and he deeply regrets that the commercial communi- ty bavo not yet discovered the value of bis treasury bonds, ‘The advance of those d— robels from Sau Salvator, Honduras and Guatemala, in overwhelming numbers, ren ders it ocecesary for vs to evacuate Gravada, and, siace Wo cannot enjoy it, be is determined they shail’ not.” Every house and church was to be barnt, Walker reserv- ing to himself the plunder of the churches. Well was the Futhless mandate obeyed by the scoundrels who were told Of to execute the accustomed work in symmetrical form. ‘Haght charches,descrilved as “magnificent,” were pluoder. ed and destroyed.

She was literally in- toxicated by the vibrations of his voloe, with which her foul entertained the strongest sympathy, and it seemed to her that they ascended up from the deepest receases of bis seul, lending a charm to the music which it was im- possible to describe. From that day forth her fae was decided. She was sensible, however, that the love she bad conceived was hopeless, and that it would be neces- sary for ber to keop it « secret wholly confined within her own breast.

She bas never spoken a single word to Mario, but whenever at any time he set out for any other country jhe would set out for the same place too.

Final Argument of the Counsel for the Con- testants Concluded—Closing Argument of the Counsel for Mrs. Cunningham, SURROGATE’S COURT. Before Hon. A. W. Bradford. Wapxmpay, July 1.—The court opened at 11 o'clock this morning, when Mr. Tilden resumed his argument. A large crowd was gathored in and about the court room. ARGUMENT OF THE COUNSEL FOR THE CONTESTANTS CONTINUED, Again, to return to the testimony of Miss Augusta Cun: ningham: Fight witnesses swore positively to Dr. Bur- dell’s presence in Herkimer on the 25th, 26th or 27th of October. He went to his pative village on a public occa sion, and under circumstances calculated to attract the at tention of all his numerous friends and acquaintances. It was on the eve of an election; and two political conven- tione and the monthly meeting of a fire company were held on the day of his arrival. On the Monday follow- ing there was a law-suit. Other circumstances were de- tailed, going to show that it was utterly impossible that these witnesses could have been mistaken as to the date of Dr. Burdell’s visit to the place of his nativity. Mr. Eli Taylor's testimony was fully corroborated by the record of the Delavan House in Albany, and conid not be over- thrown. Mrs. Wilson’s testimony was in like manner ve- rifled by the officers and records of the mboat New World. If these witnesses did not Ox the date of Dr. Bur- dell’s visit to Herkimer there is no reliance to be placed upon human testimeny. Then what was the testimony in- troduced to overthrow the testimony of these unimpeacha- bie witnesres? Lafilin came down in the lightning train and steamer New World and did not see Harvey Burdell, therefore it is argued that Harvey Burdell was not on the .

The filling of young Frazer’s tooth was shown to be at the same hou on the 23th, when a number of the witnesses declare he was at the Artivans’ Bank. Other contradictions were pointed out to show the unreliability of there shadowy re- collections.

Avgusta, were read, received, and, after speeches from several gentlemen, unanimously adopted:— PREAMBLE Whereas, it has pleased Colonel Prince, a member of the Jesiaiative Counell of this province, fp moving an address to Governor General (to restore to the ston of the peace Messrs.
