THE-NEW YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 8439. THE DiAMOND WEDDING. The Marriage of Miss Frances Amelia Bartlett to Don Estaban Santa Cruz de Oviedo, ‘BIMENSE JAM AT 87, PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL, |Curious Discourse of Archbishop Hughes to the Happy Couple. Crush of Crinolines, Carriages and the Creme de la Creme, THE RECEPTION AT HOME. MARRIAGH ' &., &o. &e. For some time past expectation bas been on tiptoe con- cerning the wedding that took place in the Cathedral yes- terday. It has been the principal topic of interest, the exciting subject of discussion in many circles for weeks ‘and months, and more rumors have been circulated in connection with it than with any similar event since the Rothschild wedding, of which such glowing accounts wero published in the English and continental papers. This, like it, has been o diamond wedding; everything was magnificent—everything was on a grand scale—all theap- ointments and arrangements were carried out with the ‘gtmost munificence. ‘The correspondents of the various country papers ‘amused their readers with accounts of the marvellous wealth of the bridegroom, who was represented to be a perfect Orceus, to be literally rolling in riches. He was reported to have made presents to no end to the fair Dride—several sets of diamonds, a wardrobe containing ixty or seventy dresses, and other things too nume- yous to meution, the yalue of the whole amounting to between seventy and cighty thousand dollars, One ring alone was said to have cost the bridegroom about two thousand. It would, in fact, be tedious to repeat the reports that were circulated. If the wealth of the bride- groom does not come up to the figure at which it has been | fixed, it is still quite large enough to afford some ground for the stories that haye been circulated. His wealth is ‘eetimated at a moderate calculation at five millions of dol- Jars; he owns some four thousand negroes in Cuba, and is poesessor of several of the largest plantations on the ‘sland. His sister is said to be equally as wealthy, and ‘out of her fortune bas built and endowed a convent. We may also add that the Oviedos are among the noblest families in Cuba. A large number of invitations were issued to the friends land acquaintances of the bride and bridegroom. The cards were splendidly got up, and read as follows -— Vix. ano Mins.

The police arrangements were got up under the direction and supervision of General Superintendent Pills bury, who appeared to be ubiquitous on the occasion, The following was the order issued to the hack drivers, and it was carried out to the letter:— roach the Cathedral from the east or west by Prince a aePeeist geting down your company with your carriage ; uiberry or Mott sireels, as indicated by Beading nord up md by the vusiiers; then proceed to the porthward. return by Houston or Bleecker, turning south down Mou cx Mulberry, and leave by Prince street. ‘The Archbishop’s residence was literally and actually besieged by applicants for tickets. One lady, a recent convert from Fpiscopalianism, pleaded for one*on the ground that she had never seen a Catholic wedding. ‘Many an appeal was made to the flinty-hearted policemen lat the door; butali in vain; every petition was met by the same curt answer, ‘Can’t, without a ticket;” and very Imany who came trusting to their powers of persuasion retired baffled and disappointed. The excitement among ithe ladies was something tremendous; as one of them feli- citiously remarked, the Great Eastern could not create greater; they were all anxiety to sce the bride, to note how she looked, how she acted, but above all, how sho was dressed. ‘Within the church every seat was occupied, and every available space crowded. A great number of foreigners were present, particularly French and Cubans, several of ‘our most distinguished fellow citizens, and a good sprink- ‘ng of naval officers in undress unifurm. Among those present were:— Capt. Hlison, U. 8, N. Capt, Shuttieworth, U.8.N. Judge Roosevelt. brats Braaford,U. 8-8. Hon, Gey, Banerot, ) Peter Cooper, - .

They had not long, however, to wait, for almost punctual to the moment the happy pair and the bridal cortege arrived, and entored the Ca- thedral in the following order:—First came the six bridesmaids, as follows:— ‘Mims Onaue Manitp BARTLETT. Mise Mary Stark. ‘Mins N. L. PARKER. ‘Mass Manveta Yzquikrvo. ‘Mies Dausta West. Muss How.anp. "The ladies were accompanied by the groomsmen, whose pames are as follows:— ‘Sxnor R. Herques. Count Minanpa. Don Juan Enrenza. After the bridesmaids and groomsmen came Capt. Bartictt and the bride, followed by Senor Oviedo and re. Bartlett. The bridal party on entering the church ranged themselves in order outside the altar rails, there to await the entrance of the Archbishop. Every eye was directed to the principal parties in the procession, and as ‘the bride advanced, enveloped in a cloald of lace, the congregation half rose in their eagerness to cateh a glimpse of the fair object of general curiosity. Tho bride wore a magnificent dress of white silk, which was almost conceatod Deuveath two deep flounces of Brussels lace. A ‘ the same elegant lace, fastoned on her head by the cus tomary orange blosgoms, fell around her; a necklace of pearls encircled her throat; she wore a splendid brooch of pearls and diamonds, and & pair of magnificent pearl ear- Fings completed the bridal dress. She approached the al tar leaning on_her father’s arm, while the bridegroom and Mrs. Bartlett’ waiked “together. Mrs, Bart- Joit’s dress was a white moire antique trimmod with Jace flounces. She wore a headdress of vink flowers mixed with jewols. Captain Bartlett was in civilian’ Gress, ‘The bridegroom wore a black coat and a richly embroidered white vest; the groomsmen were attired in the same manner, and some, if not ail, bad a bouquet of small white flowers and white ribbons in thoir button. hole, They ranged themselves by the side of the groom, ‘Tho bridesmaids wore dresses of white tarletan with double skirt, trimmea with three or four Jews of pulling’ eon the upper and lowor jupe.

As Soni MMT’ Archbishop entered “the dense mase of human beings rose simultaneously, and remained standing while he Was robed for the ceremony. He had on a violet cassock, @ cape and stole; he mitre on his head abd carried his crozier im his hand, ‘The Archbishop, attended by the Very Reverend Mr. Starrs and Rev, Mr. McNierny, approached the a'tar rails and commenced the mari ‘service as follows:— “Bstaban Santa Crus de Hi ae thou Cart Tiree Amelia Bartlett, here present, for thy lawful wife, accord- ng to the rite of our holy mother, the church 7”? ” 4) will.” It may be well to state that the Archbishop addreased the groom in Spanish and he replied in the game lan- e. orthen the Archbishop addressed the bride, and asked rs “Frances Amelia Bartlett, wilt thou take Estaban Santa Cruz de Oviedo for thy lawful husband, according to the rite of our holy mother, the church?” “oT will? ‘They joined hands, and the Archbishop said:—‘‘I join you togcther in marriage in the name of the Father, aud of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost—Amen.” After which he sprinkled them with holy water, aud blessing the ring which the (apes had placed on the book, he gaid:—‘ Our help is in the name of the Lord;” to which Father Starrs and Father McN.erny responded:— “Who made Heaven and earth, Ob Lord, hear my prayer, And let my ery come unto thee. ‘The Lord be with you And with thy spirit.’? The Archbishop then offered up the following prayer:— “Bless, O Lord, this ring which we bless in Thy name that sho ‘wha will wear it keeping true faith unto her spouse, may abide in peace and will and love, live in mutual charity, through Christ our Lord.—Amen,”? ‘The ring having been blessed, the groom raceived it and placed it on the middle finger of the left hand, the Archbishop —) 4 “Tn the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, confirm, O God, that which thou bast wrought in us.” And the assistant clergy responded— “From Thy boly temple which is in Jerusalem.”? Save Thy servants. ‘Who hope in Thee, O my God. Send them help, 0 Lord, from Thy sanctuary, And defend them out of Zion. Be unto them, 0 Lord, a tower of strength. From the face of the enemy. © Lord, hear my prayer. And let my cry’come unto Thee. Look, 0 Lord, we beseech Thee, upon these Thy ser- vanta, and graciously assist Thine own institutions, where- by Thou hast ordained the propagation of mankind, that they who are joined together by ‘Thy authority may be preserved by Thy help, through Christ our Lord. Amen.”’ At the conclusion of the ceremony the Archbishop, a: dressing the newly married pair on the sanctity and in- yiolability of the marriage vow, sald—The contract you have now entered into is for life: it can never be broken. «What God has joined let not man put asunder.” Our Lord himself raised it to the dignity of a sacrament, and his church in all ages resisted every attempt to lessen the sanctity of the matrimonial contract. 0 Catholic church has never grauted divorces—never, never. You may have heard that she has done 0, but belicvo it not; ’tis a mistake; she has never granted a divorce where marriage has been legiti- mately entered into, and she never will. For maintaining the invioiability of this sacrament the church lost England avd at the present moment she would lose a thousaud Englands, or any other country, rather than loosen the bonds that binds foclety “together. What would the condition of society be but for marriage. So- fety is made up of families, and to this sacrament the family relations are indebted for their sanc- tity, stability, decency and dignity. Marr: is no Tere human contract, to be dissolved at option of either party; it cannot be affected by prosperity or adversity, sickness or health, joy or sorrow; it lasts through life, and can only be broken by tho summons that calls oue or other from this world. “It has its bless- ings, its privileges, and it has also its trials; but they will be borne together? and with religion as your guide and — star they wiil conduce to your eternal interest aud wel- fare.” Aiter some further remarks the Archbishop ailuded to the ease with which divorces were obtained, and their injurious effect on the morals of the community, The wis- dom ef the church of God, observed the Archbishop, was never more strikingly bay oy than in her unwaverin, opposition to divorces. See the state of society to whic a tacility of Obtaining them has led at the present time, when men can be found to advocate the abrogation of marriage, or its dependence on the whim and caprice of the parties entering into it. After dwellmg on this subject at some length, he referred to what is called a double marriage, that is, being married, according to the Catholic and Protestant ritual. This, he said, was an impossibility; they could not be half married in one place and half married in another. They should remember when they were murried in that church no other ceremo- ny was requisite—that was final. The Archbishop then exhorted them on the duties of the married state, the mu- wal affection and forbearance they should exercise to- wards each other; and, addressing the bridegroom, said, he should bear in mind that this young lady had been surrounded in her own home with loving care and attention, and that it devolved upon him to supply the place of those affectionate relatives she had left. e will be the lady of your bome, continued the Archbishop, and its orna- ment, and there is every human reason to suppose that the marriage this day solemnized will be fortunate and appy. A POETICAL TRIBUTE TO THE BRIDE. INSPIRED KY THE OCCAKION. Cmprompes lines on having witnessed the marriago of lies Bartlett, at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Oct 13, 1859.) ‘The bride was pertect loveliness; Contentment yielded grace To the soft beaming of her eye, The beauty of her face. A peaceful, sweet expression Gaye to her lovely mien A glow of more than earthly stamp, nature rarely seen. A placid, gentle meekness In her appearance shone, While dignity and tranquil ease Placed her on virtue’s throne. ‘The dove—the swan, in her appeared; ‘As ewan in grace she moved, And as the dove in tenderness, By pure hearts was approved. She must be all of happiness, ‘Or could not thus appear; And must the hearts of those rejoice To whom she is 80 dear. ‘We wish hee all the blissfulness That weaith and love can yield, And hope that in her future life True joy will be revealed, For never bas a loviier bride Ever met our view at bridegroom’s side. No pride of worldly pomp displayed; ‘Meekness her whole appearance swayed. A FEMALE IN ADMIRATION OF A SUPERIOR WOMAN, AN OUTSIDE VIEW—EXPERIENCES AND OBSERVATIONS OF A “RED B.” A grand wedding ig nota rare sight in the metropolis, but it always commands the devoted attention of what is graphically called the sidewalk committee, a very numer- ous class of persons, composed of the most heterogeneous materials. ‘There are unemployed clergg, Bohomians, loungers, ladies with no reputation wé@jbh mentioning, boys of all sizes, from the diminutive archin of. tender years and suspicious trowsers to the half rowdy and hall thief, always on the gué vive for country gentlemen’s porte- monnaies or the poodles of maiden ladies. You may seo all these people hanging about the lotality where matri- mony 4-la mode is to be performed any day of the week. It was not remarkable, then, that the sidewalk com- mittee should be on hand in full force for the affair of yesterday. It was reinforced, too, by an unsavory infu- sion of the denizens of the Points—white, black afd dirt color—with here and there some weil dressed people, who had been classified like the original stockholders in a broken railway. The tickets of admission to the church were stamped “B,”—all stamped “B.;” but the preferred stock, which entered by the vestry door, on Mulberry atreet, where the immortal Brown and a strong detach- ment of police kept a clear passage, had tickets stamped with a blue “‘B.;”” while the others ran in this way:— aesceooreveres {Red B} ST.

POOLE OIET LE OWNCCOOOONEEEE NATE HEED LENT EHO The police arrangements here were not so good as at tho preferred stock entrance, and it was almost impossi- bio for the “red B's" to get in, A good many “red B's” did squeeze through, but came back very red all over, and disagteeably warm, saying there were no soats, and that generally they had quite enough of 1t. Thereupon the rest of the “red B's” mixed with the crowd, and be- came jolly and gonerally agreeable. As an unfortunate “red B,” the writer can say nothing of the interior of the Cathedral and the general magnificence which prevailed there without doubt. But the external scene, which was quite free to the public, except drivers and coa! carts, who were compelled to back out ignomini- owsly, was a study for a philesopher. The purlieus of Mott and Mulberry strects aro very democratic, and of course exceedingly dirty. The crop of wicked boys, slat- ternly women and sickly infants is very large in this dis- trict, The conversation carried on between tawdry young women in tenement houses and precocious young men on the sidewalk, or perched upon fences, was not such as ig habitually Heard in up town drawing rooms and the criticism, on the appearance of the briflal party were more free than elegant. Some of the young women expressed an earnest desire for a Cuban with only half the bridegroom’s money; while the young gentle- men wondered where he Kept his loose cash at night. Sarcastic remarks were made upon those of the unfortu hate red “B's” who hgd gotten themselves up in all the glory of full dress, which did seem a little out of place under the droppings of ot or pn g8 of three cent grog shops and fifth rate It was a curions seene this crowd, which must have numbered eight or ten thousand peop me of whom Were on the ground as early as ten 9’cl in the morn.

The windows and roofs ef the houses looking towards the Cathedral were all filled with anxious faces, young and old, clean, medium clean and awfully dirty, huggard, thin and worn, with the labor that never ends, the hunger that always ghaws, the thirst thut is never quenched, Contrast si a sombre background with the splendid equipages, the clouds of crinoline, and lace und flowers, the fair ladies glowing in beauty, set off by the rarest work of the most expert modietés, the cleverest jewellers and the cunningest fabrications of all the thousand nickknacks that go to make up the attire of the woman of fashion; their attendant cava- liers dressed in the best possible taste, with coats irreproachable, white cravats immaculate, trowsers that might be called wonderful works of arts, bein gawée et bien chaussée—idealize it all with the clear ‘atmosphere of a jovely Indian summer cay, and tell us if the philo- sophie “red B.” did not bave us interesting a study as the more aristocratic cerulean customer who was admitted to the Temple of Hymen? And then when ‘it was all over, and everybody had fallen back go far that no one ‘any more back to fall upon, or apy more toes to be trodden upon, hew refreshing was the cheer which the ot pollo set up as the bride her carriage, fol- lowed by her train of attendant divinities. The carriage, with the blinds down, drove rapidly away , but the brides- maids were in no such hurry, aud even the “red B's? had aright at them. You could see a bit of nose and some headdress, all the rest was a maze of tonslin and wonder- fully gawzy fabrice, looking like a form of ice cream a ‘ved BY stuck in the {op of it. And then when wonderfully gotten up men, piloting astonishing belies, got mixed up with the Toate, how refreshing was the thorough contempt of the former and the absolute indiffcrence of the latter, Tt was affine thing, this street scene, this acct dextal meeting of the extreme ends of soclty; and, as an todividual opinion, the “red B's” quite agree with aisdy of unmistakeably Celtic origin, who said to her com nion that it took the Cubans to do it, and she wished ene of them would get married every day, IN TRANSITU—FROM THE CATHEDRAL TO THE HOUSE. The classic purlieus of Mott and Mulberry and Prince streets doubtless never knew such a charming crush of crinoline, carriages, satin slippers, patent leather boots, new bats and snowy kids as signalized the egress of the Multitude from the Cathedral. Between the people who wanted to get away, the carriages that wanted to get to them, and the inquisitive multitude anxious to witness all that was going on, there was the most charming confusion of the creme de la creme and the lofer ten thousand. But surely, though slowly the extrication was completed, and the emerging of so much of fashion and the feminine gender into Broadway added much to the brilliancy of that world-renowned thoroughfare. A steady current of both vehicles and pedestrians could be discerned pouring towards Fourteenth street, while the scene on arriving at that point was almost a repetition of the Cathedral jam, £0 far as the density of the crowd was concerned. THE CROWD AT THE DOOR OF THE BRIDE'S RESI- DENCE. Long before the brilliant cortege of the bridal party had made its appearance, heading the long line from w church to the house, the crowd began to collect in the vicinity, and by the time the visiters to the bride and bridegroom began to enter, the stoops of the neighboring buildings, the windows and the sidewalks, were crowded with enger gazers anxious to see the rich Cuban and his friends, and indulging in all sorts of extravagant ideas concerning his untold wealth, It was rumored that his team was to consist of Flora Temple, Lantern, Princess and Lancet, and that he designed to sift silver dollars along the route, for the benefit of the people, on the all-import- ant occasion of his marriage. But this story was doubted by afew. Expectation, however, was none the less on tiptoe, and as carriage after carriage whecled up and de- posited its fair load, eager eyes peered in at the windows and at the faces of the visiters. “ven the wide street was blocked up ss far as from Sixth avenue to Broadway, with the numerous vehicles of the bon ton intermingled with ay occasional hack or a Fourteenth street stage, de- postin at the door the honored caller whose finances favored that democratic mode of conveyance. THE SCENE IN THE HOUSE. ‘Tho compactness of the Cathedral crowd was daguerreo- typed in that of the house, and were it not for the ex- pansive and protecting crinolina doubtless some of the ladies would haye been nucom/ortably squeezed—un- ayoidably of course. Everybody was anxious to get in, ‘and was perfectly unconscious that anybody else wanted the same privilege. It was all ebb tide and no flow, and the incucement to try and stem the current grew sinall and beautifully Jess. To attempt to cnumerate the gentlemen of note in the army aud navy, at the bar, in the political world, or in pri- vate life, or the numberless ladies account in the world of wealth, letters and fashion, would neces sarily result in a most imperfect list, and ‘occupy some room Suflice it to say that everybody was there, and everybody’s friend. THE BRIDE AND BRIDEGROOM AT RECEPTION. At the head of the front parlor stood the newly mar- ried couple, the bridesmaids—Misses West, Parker, Stark, Howland, Bartlett and Izquado—with the attending groomemen and the happy father and mother being ranged on cither side. The visiters were expected to greet the bride and groom, pass round to the other end of the room, taking ® look at the gorgeous and prince- ly wedding presents, and pass out through the ird room, stopping to take a look at or a bite of the well eurrounded collation. As before intimated, those who got in firstevinced little disposition to make room for new comers, and locomotion was rather difficult, and Wkely to play sad havoc with the ladies’ expansive toi- lets, and envelope the comparatively diminutive gents in ‘a mysterious maze of silk, laces, poplins and crapes, of delicate texture and delicious odor. But seve- ral thousand invitations had been issued, and the crowd kept pouring in. @ bride receiver! her guests with unaffected cordiality, and a smiling self-possession which few could have main: tained amid such embarrassing prominence. She was ready with a pleasant jest for all, and as the poot hath it her cheek was pale, And yet so lovely that the mirth would flush Its rose of whiteness with the brightest blush. Nor was the groom less happy, and to one and all he extended cordial greetings in his native tongue—in which, by the way, he would have better comprehended the Pole Jong . The exaggeration of his age cannot make bim a whit less jolly, or sosial, or rich, and ‘no doubt be contents himself with the decision of Pope, ‘The depth of judgment most in him appears, ‘Who wisely weds in his maturer years. i Certainly, if he Las thus taken due consideration, he has no Delilab, or Dejanire, Eriphyle, or Clytemnestra, Judith, or Xantippe to enliven his matrimonial life, r from the general opinion of his fair spouse, will have no reason to regret his deliberation. His selection is fully said to have proven that his riches are only equalled by his good taste, THE WEDDING PRESENTS. Affectionately watched by two good looking policemen in citizens dress, stood the table of princely wedding pres- ents, said to be worth fabulous sums, from $60,000 to $100,600, and incomprchensiple to the finite mind of our reporter. Na Presents flowed in apace in showers of gold; ‘They made their court, as Jupiter of old. First may be mentioned the oe Wan shoei’ Iace—the same worn at the rece} as well as mar- riage ceremony, and made by & Oo. @ bride’s parure—consisting of necklace, brooch, bracelets and earrings—was a superb composite of dia- monds and pearls, cach ingredient in the precious accro- ‘tion being of the finest color and symmetry. The neck- lace is a broad festoon of four strands of pearls, of the most perfect roundness and orient, meet in a ribband of brilliants exquisitely fete ar as a loveknot ; this effective and appropriate centre being finished by a pen- dant pear-shaped pear] of magnificent size and bp emma Tn proper Keeping, the bracelet is likewise a quadrup! band of pearls, but confined within two rows of finely matcbed briiliants. The clasp is an elaborate medallion, its centre being a very large diamond get in a beautiful maze of pearls intertwined with brilliants. ‘The earrings are mut pendants, the upper part of each being a splendid diamond solitaire, and the drop a pear shaped pear] of corresponding size and beauty, tip- ped with diamonds. ‘he brooche, like the clasp of the bracelet, is a rich con:mingling of gems, the centre being a very’ mountain of light set in 2 meadow of pearls, through which is intro- duced a stream of the first water brilliavts. Supported by this diamond cordon as a is—perhaps the most admirable feature of whole parure—a vriolete diamond, of wondrous size and surpassing light, and so rare in symmetry and magnitude as to be unique in the United States, Aside from the well nigh fabulous cost of this parure, its notable peculiarity is the entire apparent abseuce o} metal. Nowhere is even a link or a rivet to be seen, but diamonds hoid pearls and pearls confine diamonds with- out any—the least—obtrusion of gold or silver. Messrs. C. V. Haughwout & Co, presented a beautiful pair of Parian marble vases, inlaid with gold; Messrs. Bali, Black & Co, and Tiffany & Co.'presented a rT bou- quet holder or flower vase; Mr. John N.

But, the most princely gifts have been those of the husband. Besides the necklace mentioned above, he has parchased from.

There was also a diamond watch & brooch of antique form with three diamond clusters of rosettes, from each rosette de- pending a similar cluster, and carrings to match, There were no less thea four hundred pearls in the necklace worn at the ceremony, and oxe hundred on the bracelet of that set. ‘There wore also sleeve and chemisette but- tons, card cases, and innumerable trifles of costly charac- ter r. ‘The bridegroom himself bad a breastpin worth, it was raid, $6,000, with chain and ring to match.

Every one who entered the house was supposed to have one of the following invitations -— Qvveecercerecrerecssesecesnaeeosets sree tt 2 MR. & MRS.

The lace is point plat and point aiguille chantiliy, and everything else that’s nice.?? “Why,” interrupts Miss Pert, ‘‘ her mantillas cost $350 for one apd $150 for another, and $125 for another. Then she bought evening dresses, tulle robes, grenadines, and silks, and handkerchiefs, at a hundred doliars apiece.”” «Bear me,”’ whispers another, “did you see her glove trimmings, and that superb lace neck trimming: 8 worth 802 yard?” “Did you notice that splendid black lace shawl she wore at reception?” “Yes; and shé bas Canton crape, Chinese, and India- shawls besides.”” «Flow much did Genin get for his supplies?” “Six thousand dollars—to a dollar.’ ‘And Haughwout for statuettes, silver, and et ceteras?”” “Tam told that they are to haye orders for ten thousand dollars, and perhaps more.’’ ‘And £0 the stories were repeated from mouth to mouth, until the extravagance of e: ration started them pack to their original point, which is probably pretty near the figures just named. As to the supply of jewelry, there is a difference of opinion as to who supplied the most, Ball, Black & Oo. or Tiffluny & Oo., and the amounts ascribed to each firm varied from fifty thougand dollars down to twenty. All agree, however, that the husband has exhibited the most profuse generosi- ty, and that if the match is one of January and May, that each has a very good consolation. ‘The unaffected urbani- ty of the fortunate bride won all hearts, and we think we may say ber naturalness of manner was universally ob- served and admired. THE BRIDAL TOUR. The bride and groom left yesterday afternoon for Bos- ton. After a tour of the United States, they will Jocate on Oviedo’s estates in Cuba.

The main facts have already been published in the Herarp, and therefore it is unnecessary to give the testimony adduced at the inquest. It appeared, however, that deceased and the prisoner were old ene- mies, and that the occasion of the visit of the former was to effect a reconciliation. Dr. Joseph Hall, of the New York Hospital, made a post mortem examination, and found three wounds—one in the abdominal parietes, tw» inches below the umbilicus; another over the right ride of the chest, and a third at a point two inches below the in- ferior angle of the scapula and at the same side. The jury rendered a verdict—“That Dennis McHenry came to his death at the hands of John Krimans, on the 10th day of October, 1859, with some instrument to them unknown.”?

Noroux, Oct. 13, 1859. The steamship Quaker City arrived in Hampton Roads at 7:30 P.M. yesterday, in tow of the steamer State of Georgia. ‘The following is Captain Shufeldt’s state- ment The engine was smashed when thirty-six hours outfrom New York, and thirty-cigbt miles 3.3.E. of Cape Hatteras After her separation from the Dunbarton on the 7th, the Quaker City made her way north and east under can vase. At6P. M. of the Oth she was in latitude 36 53, longitude 74 22, one hundred and thirty miles from the first point named. There a steamer bound so sed without noticing our signals of distress or the firing of our ee although apparently near enough for both. At 6:30 . M.'the schooner King Fisher, of New York, the namo bore away for us, and of whose captain js not known, with the true characteristic of a seaman ‘hail ed us, and gaid he would stick by us till the last, which promise he faithfully performed. The brig Sena, of Alexandria, aleo answered our signals, and Jaid by us until sent in search of a steamer. Atseven in the evening a gale from the northward of great force struck the ship, when she laid with her head to the east ward, behaving admirably for forty-eight hours. During this time it became necersary to heave overboard the deck freight. At noon on the Ith, the gale having abated, in lat. 36 30, lon. 74 22, the ship was taken in Www by the Kingfisher, and aided by her owa sails, sucéeestod in sailing twenty miles westward, when at miduight the State of Georgia ran down aud took us in tow, sixty miles northeast of Cape Henry. Captain Shufeldt desires to publicly thank the captains of the Dunbartop, King: fisher, Sena and State of Georgia for the prompt aad cheerful manner in which they rendered him assistance, and, without intending to discriminate, wishes particularly to express his gratitude to the captain of the Kingfisher. He is also grateful to the passengers for their conshlera- tion towards himself, and to the crew for their perfect quict and coolness during the accident. R. W. SHUFELDT. ‘Tho following are the names of the passengers who re- mained on board the Quaker City and haye arrived in Hampton Roads:— E. L. Crabbe, lady and two children; John Chartrand and lady, Miss Chartrand, Alex. Debandry, Jose Diaz, Manuel Berard, F.R. Diaz, C. M. Dorance, lady and daughter; M. Gabro, lady and son; J.

A day or two ago we published a card of Mr. Heenan’s, notifying Mr. Morrissey in the pelitest terms that he should be happy to accommodate him by fighting bim for the round sum of $10,000, eithor before or after his (Hecnan’s) contest with Tom Sayers, the champion of England. To this card Morrissey replied on Wednesday, by publishing @ note couched in equally polite and respectful language, expressing a hope that Heenan would be successful against his English an- tagonist, and pledging bimself toaccommodate that gentle- man within four or eight months thereafter in a fight for the sum named. A paragraph in yesterday’s Heratp described an altercation which was said to haye occurred between these two distinguished individuals at the lower end of the City Hall Park on Wednesday, and represented Morrissey as inviting his rival then and there to step with- in the enclosure, divest himself of his outer garments, and then and there favor him and the promenaders on Broad- way with an exhibition of his skill in the fistic art, just for the love of the thing—which invitation Heenan was said to have coolly declined. ‘To that paragraph were we indebted for the honor of a yisit from the Benicia boy yesterday, in the editorial rooms of the Hararp office. He felt mach aggrieved that such an incorrect and exaggerated statement of his interview with Morrissey had been published, and desirod to give his own version of the occurrence, According to him, it amounted to just this—but we will give his own words as nearly as possible. Myself and my friend here, said ho, (indicating a gen- tleman who accompanied bim, aud who appeared to per- form towards him the duties which, in the days of chivalry, the squire performed to the knight under whose banner he served) were coming down tothe Heratp office about noon yesterday, with this card, which I intended to have published in reply to Mr. Morrissey’s of that morning. At the lower end of the Park I met Mr. Morrissey and some of his friends. I bid him good day, and asked him if I could have the pleasure of a word with him, He said certainly. 1 then referred to his note in the Herp, and asked him whether he would not agree to make a match wih me. ‘Ob, no,” said he, “not until after you fight Tom Sayers. You are bound to fight him.”’ 1 told him that that did not matter; that I would much rather fight him, and that besides, 1 might not be so well able to fight him after my meeting Sayers as I was pow. But he said, “No, be would rather I would goto England, try and whip Sayers, and then he would be willing to accommodate me.” [ asked him whether he might not be induced to fight me now, in con- sideration of the bet of ten thousand dollars. Ho said, “No, he wanted to fight for glory—not for money. He did not want money; he had bushels of it.” Finding that I could not get him to agree upon a match, I bid him good morning, and was walking away, when he called after me, and said that he would bettwo hundred dollars that I would not fight Sayers. I said, “Done, provided that I do not fight with you first.’ We then went to Del- ‘we nico’s, in a friendly manner, to have a drink and to get rid of the crowd, and then— Mr. Burritt, his friend—(suggesting)—You afterwards made the bet and staked the money. Mr. Hxenan—Exactly. There were no angry words be- tween us. - ‘The reporter suggested that Mr. Heenan should write a note embracing the points of his statement. Hexnan—Oh, no; I am tired of these cards. I have written as many cards lately as James Buchanan, and I don’t want to write any more. I amas public a character now as James Buchanan, and I don’t like it. It is not right, either, to be representing me as having been brought up to Syracuse by Captain Rynders. The Captain denied the statement, and snowed how he made the mis- take in what he said regarding me. reporter, at Mr. Heenan’s request, promised that he wouid have the matter set right; and the Benicia Boy and his friend left the office rently well satisfied. A fine, athletic, broad-should: square-built fellow is ee ial eas te a ber’ pe ey a as physical de- ee fe fely match aimself against any advet . His address and general appearance aro de- cidedly favorable to him, barring a cortain bs orm about the bridge of the nose, denoting some hard i] received in that quarter, and a vacancy in the front upper row of teeth, st re of an operation of den- tistry. One oF his eyebrows comes down at the outer corner in a@ sharp angle, which gives him occasionally somewhat of an unpleasant expression. His ot-up was neat, if notelegant. A loosely fitting coat, of fhe fashionable style, half way between a frock coat and ashvoting jacket, showed off his square shoulders and fine muscular developement to advantage. He wore in his shirt bosom a fine diamond pin, apparently of the first water, and as to his chapeau, it was ren style. Altogether, Mr. Heenan would be taken for a fine looking, well proportioned gentieman, and outside of his protes- sion we do not know that his conduct would justify any different conclusion. Fine Arts. Mr. Church’s magnificent painting, ‘‘The Heart of the Andes,” is again on exhibition at the Studio gallery in Tenth street. The eulogiums bestowed on this work by the London critics, and the pride that Americans must naturally feel in the success which attended it abroad, will naturally enhance the interest with which it was pre- viously regarded here, The artist has done well to put up the picture again for exhibition, for the limited time al- lowed for its inspection previous to its. departure for Lon- don disappointed thousands of the gratification of seeing it, It may, perhaps, be as well to remind the patrons of native aru that Mr. T. P. Rossiter’s ga'lery, in Thirty- eighth street, is open gratuitously to the public every ‘Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Tickets of admission can be had at the principal printsellers’. The Dusseldorf Gallery continues to attract crowds of visiters. The stock of this concern has risen wonderfully of late. We are glad to sce that the fine collections at the Na- tional Academy of Design and the International Art Asso- ciation (corner of Fourth street) continue to be well pa- tronized. The works at both galleries are by artists of the first For celebrity. Nothing can tend more to cn- large the ideas and improve the taste of the art student than a few hours spent in viewing these collections. Pettrich’s Tecumseh, in the Cooper Institute, is a work of merit, evincing both boldness of conception and skill of manipulation. It seems to have made a most favorable impression among our art connoisseurs. Mr. Leeds announces a sale of somo valuable pictures, rincipally from the collection of James Robb, +3 0 lew Orleans, for the evenings of the 18th and 19th of tho present mouth.

The sale will take plage at the warerooms of the Academy of Design.

A variety of incoherent rumors were circulated in Paris on the 28th ult. as to the settlement of the Italian question and the proceedings at Zurich, but they would not agreo with each other, and several aro probably pure inven- tions. The belief seems to be general that a Congress is decided on. The London Herald correspondent says that Austria and Piedmont are about making warlike preparations, and that the French army of occupation in Italy is about to re- ceive reinforcements. The renewal of hostilities is appre- hended by many. E A French provincial journal says that the military di- visions and subdivisions of France are about to be or- gauized on a new footing, and that the government in- tends to make every great port a centre of a division or subdivision, in order that ata given moment the action of the land and sea forces may prove prompt and effica- cious.
