To establish the church party, if all the bayonets of Spain were devoted to the work, is vor then the American filibuster would appear in the ranks of the opposition. To drive out the clergy and the Spaniards and form a govetnment frem the hberal party is impossible ; for there are too few intelligent men amongst them, and, moreover, they cannot endure to admit foreigners in theit country on an equality, To hope for relief from the United States at once seems like hoping against hope, after the singular comiuet the American government has pursned in leaving to neglect the cries of its persecuted citizens and repre- | sentatives. What is before us remains to be developed but the work has commenced and I mistake very much if it be not followed up vigorously. ‘The object of Spain in sending troops against Mexico, although avowedly to bring General Garaa to an account, is unquestionably to aid the present church party of Mexico, with the ultimate view of re-establishing Spanish superiority over this country. In this capital expectation will be on tip toe to receive the next message of Mr. Buchanan, In ail the public places this fortheoming document is now spoken of and its probable contents discussed, and here again three positive opinions are found. The government party think Mr. Buchawan will apologize to Mexico for the conduct of the late representative of the United States, and recommend suitable steps to Congress for thatend — The puros think Mr. Buchanan will advise an alliance of the American go- vernment with them for the establishment of an anti church rule in Mexico, and they base their arguments upon the conduct of the ‘late representative of the United States, who, as they say and believe, acted under ‘nstractions from Mr. Buchanan, A third opinion is gene- rally entertained by foreigners that Mr. Buchanan will cai! the attention of Congress to the fact that the govern- mivnt of Mexico hag disregarded his protests to their un Inwfal acts, and, in defiance of said protests, banished se- veral American citizens from this country; that he witi also urge upon Congress to redress the persecutions of American citizens and the insults repeatedly offered to American consuls and to the American flag; and that he will suggest the propriety of Congress taking some steps to prevent the recurrence of these acts im the future Some clear-headed persons who form a portion of this party go further, and think that Mr, Buchanan will pro- pose the adoption of such measures as will forever pro- vent the landing troops upon Mexican Boil, which © United States keep- ing troops here, under on by pretexts she has now got for 80 doing w Mr. Buchatian’s forthcoming meséage, as gleaned from the chit chat of this eapi new P the country has assumed several ng forms since my last letter after a siege of forty days, and after the backing and filling of the federat troops (the besiegers) several times, has at last snecumbed to the federalists, and at this time bas quartered inside of its Walls about 5,000 of their fi Th “al>—Blancarte and Casano nd oficers were caught and shot.

Real del Monte is in their possession. It is said that Carvajal, with two thousand men, is in that quarter; and if so lively times may soon come vpon ua here: for with Carvajal, Sabas Itorbide, &c., thronging the outlets of this v out wil again be thrown into a state of nervons it. A horrid apprehension of ropes aud the tral bishops’ palaces is likely to rise up before the President and his Cabinet. It is clear that this apprehension has already seized them, for the young Traconis, who was taken prisoner on the 16th ult., While gallantly leading a party of blouses into the Chureh of the Merced, was yesterday pardoned. The day before he bad been put in capilla to prepare for death, and that step only precedes the work of the executioner; but, on the receipt of the news from Guadalajara, the govern- ment, as the official journal of yesterday told us, * mag- nanimously pardoned him.” No allusion is made to the motive, which, unquestionably, is a bid for pardon, if the the Cabinet, in the course of events, come next door to the executioner. In this capital the great generals of the government still remain, and just now present a picture very mach like the camp of Blanco. Dissensions exist on ail sides, in which the female genorais take a hand. Generals Verez Gomez and Peta are quarrelling, through the papers, about the honors of the battle in the San Cosme. Gomez says be did all the bard fighting, aod that Pefia did not appear in the action at all. Peila says that Gomez run from the enemy, and that he did nothing for the victory. The fact is both are pretty near correct, and that, as J bave told you in a former letter, the federal- day by the explosion of one of their magazines Gomes is furious, and he will giv Huitebelog’ who were at the moment makinj vod who never had guns In their hands in their Gomez and Miramon have come to words, and tas wives of Miramon and Zaloaga have had a skirmish, im which their ravishing tresses barely escaped.

The way in which we shall extricate ourselves may toive the problem of how ali the Spanieh-Americas are to pass away The great error of powerful tations was in recognizing the Spanish-Americas—witn their populations of mixed and inferior races—as civilized, and in attempting them to treaty compacts. That tunes and lives of many people by these treaty compacts tfies, The geaponeibility for A pro. perty reste somewhere, and certainly if governments, whore citizens are outraged by these peopic, fail to enforce a right course for them, the responsibility must lay at the coun | doore of those nations who so far neglect to sustain their s to be wronged jolation of the pledged good faith as to allow their citize n violation of treaty compacts, and in laws of civilized nations PRESIDENT JUAREZ'S PROCLAMATION OF WAR AGAINST SPAIN. THE PROVISIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC TO THR MEXICANS. Tt has come to my knowledge that serious warlike pro — are making in Spain for declaring war against lexico. Though this information has been repeated in variour #, it woubl not seem to be Feagon and justice had to be those preparations to them by public voos of the press and informed in certain secrets, that war is to be declared us, Possibly Spain, a8 a sensible and ne mm, will not ‘dize the interests of two nations, and more directly of her own childten, in a war, in every respect unjust and impolitic; but there is a circum- stance which caunot be reasonably explained unless & - warlike spirit bas dietated such a measure. Instead of » being informed thes Spain wan and 0 diplomats agent Te! in order to claim from our government 88 for an cess on the part of one of the nationa! authorities, in which case he would have been listened and duly attended to, we are assured that, pending the mediation of the two t and respected Powers, the common friends of jexico and Spain, before whose tribunal, as the represen- tative of public reason, the well founded reasons on which Mexico refuses to pay’unjust claims were to be invest - gated, Spain, letting If be carried away by the im- ee ardor of inconsiderate e8, instead of following the calm circumspection proper to statesme | coger pie us, without respect for hor arbiters 0° > public opinion. Three ish war ships, with troops on board for land- ing, left Havana on the 18th of October to attack Tampico or this place, It soems the pretext with which Spain is covering this hostile act 18 our having exacted a forced Joan from the merchants of that port without exempting ers—an exaction which the constitutional govern- ment had already put an end to—and she finds an oppor- tunity in our disunion and fraticidal struggle. The season of the year, and the uncertainty of the prepara. tions of Spain, had adjourned on the part of the Captain General of the island of Cuba an aggression which for so many months is desired by all the spurious sons of Mexico, in whose bogom the sentiment of nation- ality is nothing, for their personal fears overrule all the rest; but it seems thatnow, conformably to antorior in structions, hostilities are to begin. Therefore it is neces sary for the republic to learn at what point matters hay arrived, and, undeceived by @ false peace, not to wait unti war has begun, in order that it may be prepared to driv it back, if unfortunately, and as all circumstances indi cate, it should be obliged to do. What negotiation: can be expected from, or even established by, landins troops, such as it is assured are directed against ‘Tamp.co What settiement can be attempted in that port, where p. competent authority is residing, to satisfy internationa demands? What satisfaction can be given, when deman. ded in a hostile attitude? Then the threats of force must be answered by force. for there is no other alternati left to save the national honor Therefore, although war be not yet declared in the estab. lished forms respected by all bations, Mexico must be prepared for repeliing any aggression, for chastising any outrage The republic is acquainted with the shameful antece cents anterior to the present situation wherein it finds itself with regard to Spain. Some individuals belonging to the latter, who, although they have ceased ruling over her, believe themse!ves to be the privileged adminis- trators of her riches and revenues, have aroused the bad passions of degraded Mexicans, who have insensibly created and strengthened the religious prejudices of many, the sympathies of others for the ancient metropolis, the remembrances of not a few who are still longing for a icing, and the discouragement of the peaceable, who be- lieve Mexico to be unable to govern herself. But ts that true? Is itnot, on the contrary, uring the half century that we have been struggling against the old and systeniatic objection, we have advanced to the point of putting ma clear and precise demonstration the ques- tion of our existence, which is entirely simmed up in the solution of the manner bow to continue it Is it not a fact that today nobody believes the right of the crown of Spain to the possession of America to be a divine right? ‘That the ex communication abusively launched by some ministers of the Church against those who promoted our independence, is unable to exclude those valiant heroes from the merey of heaven? That the establishing of an indigenous or exotic monarchy upon the soil of Mexico is nothiny more than the desire of a few, misled by the very ardor of their rebounding hatred against the people. That different painfu! experiences have furnished the proof of the greatest evils inseparable from a system of centraliza- ton, by means of which a government which is without roads or speedy messengers pretends to regulate even the smallest expenditure of all and every one of the communities’ That at last parties are dead, ana men are nothing wher compared with principles ; and lastly, that principles begin to take hold of all minds and by this very act to form public opinion and public conscience. ‘Therefore, why should a people, which during a half century knew how to accomplish’ their civil revolution, and which are so far advanced in their social one, not be capable of governing themselves when there is already a majority which is enlightened and resolved to enter the road ot justice? Are peop'e or individuals born perfect? Are even those who are the furthest advanced in civilization, and have procured for themselves a cer- tain degree ot well being as regards certain determined classes, however old they may be, arrived at social per- fection? Is not England, with good reason celebrated for the wise liberty which she accorded to the greater portion of ber sons, to-day, after s0 many centuries of civilization and growing prosperity, threatened by ber millions of poor, by her difficulties ‘in Ireland and her insurrections in Tudia® ‘The greater part of the evils under which Mexico is suf. fering are easy to be cured. Her want of industry will cease with her want of revenues, with morality in the collection of taxes saga economy in their distribu- tion; her want of moral#w@ith some years of an honest, energetic and rigidly just government. All men of good faith are agreed on the facility with which our situation can be changed only by entering upon the road of justice. Public opinion is already prepared; the road is discover- ed; therefore there is nothing left but to enter it and to go onward with firmness. The manner of ts accessory. and even accidental to existence; and as we should cease to exist should we succumb in the war with Spain, not Decause the latter would reconquer her dominion over us, ‘but because we shall destroy and divide ourselves, it 1s the foremost duty of every Mexican who feels himself as such, to fight the common enemy. After having drive him back, we shall occupy ourselves with regulating in peaceful and legal way our domestic questions. From our desire to goard the dignity of the republic and to put Providence on our side by doing what is our natural duty in defence of our country, the constitutional government of Mexico gives the alarm to the whole re pe c; it apprises her that a foreign Power is threatening per, and what is the most painful and humiliating is, that ts aid is invoked by Mexicans who have lost, with their confidence in their country, all shame as citizens, and postpone all patriotic sentiment, all aspirations for the hap « of their children, to the mad pride of making to triumph their parricidal errors. Be, therefore, on the watch, generous sons of the ancient Anaiuac! The occasion is favorable for anni hilating and radically destroying the — retrograding clement that bas paralyzed ail our efforts, render- ed sterile all our suerifices, nuilified all our com- binations for social well-being Be watchful! God, whe protects us, offers us one of the best opportu. nities for securing forever our independence, and for proving that our claim to the title of a nation was not an empty aspiration, but that you know how to form and how to maintain it. Let us at least suspend our mad rage to persecute one another, and in the fraternity of a stroggle against time and'common enemies, and in the expansion of honorable victories, unstained by the tears of Drethren, let us extinguish our discords, and let one and the same interest—the independence of Mexico—unite us; one and the same banner guide us—that of the Mext- ean republic. Tn bebalf of such a sacred cause the constitutional gov- ernment abandons all exceptions of opinions, all ante- cedents of party. It calls for the defence of nationality on ail sons of Mexico, and sure that there are only a few iniserable beings in whom there lives no patriotic senti ment. it convokes all aud every one to the common defence, with the same solicitude and geal it all, tor it is firmly decided to succumb iu per than to compromise in the least with Arise, and we the lie to such # humiliating accusation, and we #hall prove to the world that, notwithstanding our errors and extravagances, the ebain which bound us to the old country is broken forever Goa save the republic of Mexico, and grant that all. the hearts of her chikiren, steeled by'the immincnee of the danger, may unite aguinst the menace of a new de- Bi pendence, ENITO JUAREZ, Given in the National palace of Vera Cruz, October 31, 1868, DECREE OF PRESIDENT JUAREZ AGAINST THE CHURCH.

English steamer brought us a ‘‘manifesto iss: in the national palace of Vera Cruz by the Provisional Con- ‘stitutional President of the republic,’ Senor Don Benito Juarez, dated Oct. 31, and addressed to the Mexicans upon: the ground “‘of it having come to his knowledge that Spain ‘was making preparations for invading Mexico,’’ We are-certainly not st in the desperate whereiz fm all lity the federalist govern- ment finds itself, its au’ ‘ity being wil the limits of Vera Cruz, and on the eve of being attacked by the troops of the enemy, it should multiply its efforts, were it only for the purpose of encouraging the smal! number of those who surround it in the moment of greatest danger to its cause; but what we did not conceive is, that a man who aspires to Toprenens @ nation, exercising public au- bag in @ worthy manner, should, to such a degree aR nor Juarez has, disfigure ‘and torture the truth when eaiian f Sours facts and designs manifested witb all the \kness of a loyal and honest procedure. ‘The self-styled ‘Provisional constitutional President,’’ forgetting the reciamations raised inst Mexico on the part of Spain have nothing at all tp do with the ques- tions of internal 01 of the republic, since they rely and exclusively refer to the ft tof treaties reely and solemnly concluded between Mexico and Spain, instead of showin; bovdl ex) faith of his country in this respect, occupies with collecting proofs that the republic contains ali the elements necessary for maintain- ing her nationality; a8 if Spain had not sade the greatest sacrifices to the existence of the latter, and proved her most lively desire to avoid for its sake all the dangers in which the so-called federalists have more than others involved it; as if by her own conduct, exhibited during the furious strug” gie which is devastating the republic, Spain had not given the most decisive proofs of her desire, even at the risk of seeing again, and most unworthily trampled under foot, the rights of her citizens to remain entirely foreign to the bloody war in which the parties are disputing for But Spain bas not only the right but the duty to hasten to the defence of her subjects, vexed and ill-treated in their interests, if not in their persons; but Spain has not only the right but the duty to cause to be respected the solemn treaties which determine the obligations con- tracted with her, and without caring whether on the Mexican territory there are many or few ‘ who are long- ing for a king,’’ or who believe ** that Mexico is unable to govern herself’’—questions which she leaves entirely and absolutely to the Mexican citizeus—Spain is interested in finding the means of saving her subjects from bein continually the victims of unheard of outrages, and ol saving herself from the inconvenience of seeing the inter- national treaties not respected aud disowned by the goy- ernments which in the republic follow each other, be- cause of the friendly forbearance which, without distinc: of political color, she showed equally’ to all. In fact, Spain bas never forgotten the strong ties which bind her to Mexico, as to all the Spanish American repub- lies. She has always Kept them in recollection, not in order to influence their destinies; not to avail herself of their misfortunes; not to harrass them by exigencies, even when from her pressing claims she had the clearest and most important right, aud not futile pretexts; but in her policy there was constantly predominant the senti- ment of traternity and the desire of preventing the con- flicts and disasters which, for motives incomparably tri- fing, brought ‘on Mexico certain exterior complications. Vhere, then, if notin the design of mecting with a support in unworthy passions, would Sr, Juarez find the elements by means of which he presents, entirely dis- figured, the pending questions between Mexico and Spain? ere, if not ‘in the very same design, would be find the proof that Spain would today be’ disposed—as she never has n—“*to hasten to the assistance of those Mexicans who bave lost. with their coufidence in their: country, all the shame of citizens, and who postpone all patriotic sentiment and ali aspiration for the happiness of her children to the mad pride of causing to triumph their fratricidal error: A-single consideration might be sufficient, for men who aspire to stand on such high positions as that which Sr. Juarez. pretends to occupy, to retract accusations similar to those of his manifesto. ‘Spain is stil! in possession of territory large enough for raising her power toa much higher point’ than in any previous time: Spain possesses in her own bosom whatever elements of wealth and greatness may constitute a nation of the first order, and Cuba and Porto Rico in America, and a whole empire in Oceanica oiter her a sufficiently large field to exercise her activity with great splendor for civilization, and not less profit for bumanity, by raising rich, bappy and prose perous people, who’ unanimously hail with joy their glorious banner, and with the brilliant spectacle of her iflustration and prosperity transmit to posterity new and solemn proofs of how Spain has, through centu- ries, nobly and generously fultilled he providential mis- sion. Let Mexico and all the Spanish-American repub- lies offer to future generations the same spectacle, avail- ing themselves of the powerful elements of tife and pro- gress to which, for the glory of Spain, they are indebted and the very same force of resistance by which, in the midst of their bloody strifes, they maintain themselves, and the Spanish nation, which only asks of them justice, ‘that proceeds from right and a good understanding natu’ ral in people of one and the same origin, will have only motives for being proud and for congratulating herself. MR. FORSYTH'S — DIFFICULTY IN MEX- The official journal of Mexico publishes the following — An affair has lately happened with Mr. Forsyth and Signor Loperena, one of those events unique of their kind, but whieh are of such a nature that they mark the true character of the parties. From the telegraphic despatches which we insert below, our readers will learn what has happened with the Amer: can Minister and Signor Loperena, in consequence of order having been issued for the arrest of the latter as he was about to leave the republic without liquidating his debts, payment of which was claimed by the parties inter ested. As an introduction to the reflections to which the facts give rise, we begin by inserting the telegraphic des- patches, the contents of which will relieve us {rom the ne- cessity of relating a history of the affair. Here they are (sent from Mexico on the 23d of October, 1858, to Orizaba, at 11.26 A ‘To THe Mitrtary Commannant oy Onizana axp Corpova, Don Manuel Diaz, third Civil Judge of this Capitat, has sotieited through this department the detention of Don Ig- nacio Loperena, who is now travelling by the diligence for Very Cruz, because several administrators of ecciesiastical properties claim sums of money owed by the said Lope- rena Therefore, he must be detained, and let the Judge of First Instance of that place order him to remain and hold himself at the disposition of the third Judge of this capital, whom you will advise.

To ms EXCrLLENcY THR MisexTer or Wan— The American Minister, from whom I claimed the de- tention of Loperena, has insisted on taking him with him, sending ine the following communication: — Amenican Legation, Orizaba, Oct. 28, 1868.

LUCIANO PRIETO. Connows, Oct, 23, 1858.

Treg y ellency to instruct me if, notwith standing what har oecurred, I shall detain him by force of the fact that the Minister says that await your reply, as the Minister has ass ‘wait until to morrow at a distance of three ANRADE, Refore making any reflections on the documents which have been given above, we desire to set forth here clearly and positively two circumstances of which we possess the proofs, and which should be held in consideration. The first is, that the supreme government has had no the detention of Loperena, as that arose—as will by the telegraphic despatches themselves—in debts in- curred by that individual; and the order emanated from the only competent tribunal in the affair. The second is, that im the porta given by the Secretary of Foreign affairs to the American Minister the name of Loperena does not appear, as in them Mr. Forsyth only is named, with the addition of his wife and two servants.” Among these, Mr. Forsyth wishes to pass Loperena, and we do not wish to increase the humiliation whieh from that fact must attend his protege, so much the more, that the person protected consents to it for the purpose of evading the action of justice in a suit for debt Vie Wt 1o cuntest with euch degradation is worthy of it But what shall we say of Mr. Forsyth? His conduct is unjustifiable, and we should not believe it if wo did not know the fact. Loperena, in leaving the repablic, is a debtor, who flies to evade the claims of his creditors and the action of the courts, and Mr. Forsyth not only pro. tects this fight, but, in placing himself in opposition to justice, ehervates it# action against a person for whom’ Mr. Forayth has not even the futile defence of foreign | in his own replies to the authorities he considered him as a Mexican citizen. Here we have then a fare protect ener the flight of a criminal who is claimed by the tribunals his country. eee Justify bee Mag mtg eke, wi ae stan steh 0 procs be founded? ‘th, the affair hen bP i. y what princ can ‘and if ai th in ea done by MF Wgely inupticabie bo bas eves spoken in this affair in the name of bis government, to which we will do the justice of believing that it will not approve such conduct. Mr. Forsyth, whether we consider him as a private individual, or under the diplomatic charactor in he has acted, has placed himself in a truly unfavorable posi- tion even among his own countrymen ; a position in which some journal of New Orleans will not fail to find abun- dant matter for comment—so much the more when it cannot be hidden from any one that he has abused the name of his country in using it against the competent and legitimate action of the courts of justice in a foreign coun- wy. THE ATTACK ON THE CITY OF MEXICO. {From EI Diario de la Marina, of Havana, Nov. 11.) Our correspondence from Mexivo Nov. 1, gives the fol- Jowing news :— ‘The federalists of Morelia who Lad in combi- nal ear vidautrt to allaak the captal, pressated to the republic the scandal of seizing the silver and jewels of the cathedral of that place in order to procure fer themselves resources, and out of the ornaments of the images, the sacred vases, &c., they succeeded in ering over 10,000 pounds of silver and » pounds of gold. ‘Then they decided to try @ coup de main against this city, and 8,000 men, joined with Blanco, the former secretary of Vidaurri, and others at their head, made a a 0, ited ‘es suddenly in noi 5 hood of that city, supposing there would not be any forces to oppose them, ’ But the government made use of its re- sources, and the people, ‘errified and in dread of a gene- ral sackage, did the reat. made the attack on the 15th ultimo, on the , but were received there by the brave pupils of the Military College, and other forces which sus- tained them, and they were defeated after a sharp conflict, leaving many dead. They tried another effort on the side of San Pabio, hoping that the suburb would come out to their assist- ance, but, on the contrary, its inhabitants fought against thom, so that it was necessary for the troops to protect the prisoners against the rage of the people. Then they had to retreat, abandoning the enterprise, and the capital, timely suctored by diferent corps at troops, remained tranquil. Soon afterwards a body of troope left to pursue the enciay, and overtaking him in Huichilae, took from him his artillery and completed his destruction. ‘Tho operations against Vera Cruz have not yet begun, but, according to reports of the government, are very soon to begin, There isno doubt that Echeagaray will easily overcome the few troops who garrison that port. Another correspondent of the game date says:— Elsewhere there are insurgents who, in larger or smaller bands, and with the ery of “liberty,” are plundering, setting on fire or destroying in a savage manner whatever they find on their way. The troops of Vidaurri were routed, but notwithstanding that, the Licentiate Blanco, with 3,000 men, approached this ¢apital on the 14th ult., andon the 15th, between eight and ten o'clock in the morning, came ‘within gunshot of the garita de San Cosme; but eighty pupils of the military college, support. ed by two hundred cavalry aud itfautry, were Sufficient to oblige them to retreat ih haste. OPERATIONS AGAINST VERA CRUZ. {From the Diario de ia Marina, Noy. 12.) We have news that the troops of keheagaray, destined against Vera Cruz, were preparing to attack that port. We learn that they form an excellent division, composed of the best troops of the Mexican army, and that there is 20 doubt as to their success, provided that before the cam- paign opened ina decisive manner there should not happen any accident which may aier the relations of those troops with the government of the capital. The arrival of Genera! Robles in Jaiapa, cecded in makiug his way through a thousand dangers, awakened some apprehensions of that nature. General Robles possesses prestige, counts numerous friends in that, as in other parts of the republic, and it is beneved that there does not exist that harmony which had been sup- posed to exist regarding his assuming the Presidency by ‘nera! Zuloaga ceding to him his place. it be expected, however, from the character of General Robles, that he may succeed in checking the po- litical events in question until the settlement of the ques- tion of Vera Cruz shall offer less danger; and although the capture of that port once effected, will considerably change the situation of the government of the capital, neverthe- Jess, reason and patriotism will then also be able to exer. cise greater influence on a settlement in which the inte- rests of the republic shall enter upon that course which the preservation of the Mexican nationality so imperiously demands. vhere he suc Personal Intelligence.

Nov. 20.—This being the last day of the term the court room was crowded by the friends of the prisoners whe were remanded during the mouth for sentence. On motion of the Assistant District Attorney prisoners who were detained in the Tombs to await tho action of the Grand Jury on complaints preferred against them were discharged in consequence of the grand inquest failing te find bills. John Garrah pieaded guilty to an assault and battery, having inflicted a wound upon the head of a passenger im ‘a Third avenue raiiroad car, by throwing stones. Affida- vits testifying to his good character were presented to the Court, and as the complainant did not wish to press the case judgment was suspended. Nancy Hood, who was convicted on Wednesday of ar- ‘son in the second degree, was placed at the bar for sen- tence. Her counsel wished to have the sentence deferred until next term, in order that he might prepare a bill of excoptions; but by advice of Mr. Sedgwick and the Court, who reminded the counsel that the law applicable to the case was 80 well settled, he withdrew his motion. The City Judge, in passing sentence, observed thas the prisoner was a notorious individual, that she bad pursued a reckless course of life, and was en- titled to no favor from the Court. He sentenced her to = years and six months imprisonment in the State | Prison, Isaac Halstead pleaded guilty to an attempt at gramd larceny, and was remanded for sentence. Richard Morrissey confessed to having committed the crime of petit larceny; and as he had been imprisoned for some time, judgment was suspended. Patrick Katen pleaded guilty to an assault with inteas to do bodily harm. The counsel for the h eponned read a large numbor ef affldavite made vy highly respectable citizens, who gave Katen an excellent character; so that his punishment was slight—namely, sixty days in the City Prison, James Mcliugh pleaded guilty to an attempt at arson is the third degree, and after aa examination of the facts of the case, the District Attorney recommended the Court te suspend judgment. Judge Russell complied with the ang- estion Of the prosecuting officer, remarking that the de- fendant had been in prison for some time, but that if be was ever charged with crime, he would send him to the State prison. It will be remembered that Mary Johnson, alias Mid- dleton, (said to be tho wite of the notorious gambler of that name,) was brought before Recorder Barnard, ¢! with shoplifting. His fMonor suspended judgment fora month in order to inquire into her character, at the expi- ration of which time she was brought before the oz Jocge, who held her to bail in the sum of $5,000, whi she obtained. Subsequently, however, her’ bondsmas surrendered her aud she wasrecommitted to prison. This morning Mr. Blunt, ustriet Attorney, advised the City Judge to svepend judgment iv order that Mrs Middietom ‘aud ber family might be taken out of the State by her friewr!s, An Order to that effect was entered.

Brennan vs. The Mayor, Alder- men, dc., of New York and others.—This is an appeal by the defendants from an order allowing an injunction and appointing a receiver of certain real estate, made at spe- cial term by Judge Davies. There is a large array of counsel in the case. Mr. John Van Buren appears for the State. The other plaintiffs are represented by Messrs. Hutchings and Stoughton ; Messrs. O'Conor, Noyes and the Corporation Counsel for the city and one hundred and eighty ove market men holding stands on the premises. ¢ city Corporation, priof to 183, filled in a certain por- tion of the North river lying in front of West street, t! the outer or river street on the west side of the city thereby forming solid upland. ‘This newly formed land adjoined Washington Market, and was taken possession of and used by the Corporation as an addition to their market property, and was hired in smal! subtivisions for short periods to market men for the exhibition and sale of market stuff, the Corporation receiving the agreed Ever since such filling in, rents for such ‘occupations. the premises had been thus held and enjoyed by the Corporation under claim of title and ownership, “Sub ject to some question as to the precise technical regu larity of thelr proceedings in respect to the city officers employed in the service, this state of things existed from the filling in until the’ order in question was made. The rents paid by the oceupants exceeded $40,000 a year. ‘The charter of 1857 abolished the Commissionership of Streets and Lamps, and transferred its market bureag to the Street Commissioner's Department, and required all collections from eity property to be made by the Finance Department. The Common Council made an ordinance im 1867 transferring the collection of market fees to the Fi. nance Department; but under a mistaken conception of vad mee yd it i contended Sa the same epartment the power and duty of letting the stands, &e. and fixing the fees, This latter transfer was repagnamt to the charter of 1857, and produced disagreement and misunderstanding among the city officials, and the coilee- tions continued to be made, as before, by the Clerk of the Markets until May 26, 1868. ‘The plaintiM contend that the people own the premises in question, and are in fee entitled to the issues up to the first of May (m some specified year), and to the posses. sion Bin unless the lease to Taylor and Breunan be held valid; that the Corporation has taken possession and through its agents rents the premises t the other de feodants, and withholds poss: from the people.
