witare Up im Canse- [From the Rueltsur’ Union, Nov. %5.) ‘The village of Canancaigua was thrown tuto Weonestay evening by the sudden of wease con.) in which parties well knows there were werued. ‘Prom the reports we havo of the aur, ie ‘ear that nothigg but the want of weapous by she injured wsband prevelited the enactment of another Sickles jagouy. ‘Tbe parties concerned are William H. Pholps, William a can noe oF Giver HL. Phelps aa tasuravoe sixty, a brother of Oliver H. , ; 7 = old resident of Canandaigua. years of age, in mo- » aad bas fa wile ‘the eldes, stxwen, ond the next a boy of fourwen years Warren had reasun to sus xect Phelps of tmproper inti macy with ms wile, Dutit does not appear that any one we had similar suspicions. On Wednesday evening re was a party tu the village, which Mr. and Mrs. Warren were preparing to attend, Suddenly, h 8. W. pleaded indisposition as an excuse for ming home, and. advised her husband to attend tho ‘ty without her. He consented w do #0, and left ae. On bis way up tho street on which his is situated he met Phelps, and it occurred w nim be might have arranged a meeting with his wifo, und her wiwillingneas to attend the party might in oondagneuce of this arrangement. Warren re- ived to satisfy himself on this point, and followed ips. He saw bim éuter his house-bis wife moe! at the door as if she expectod Nim. Wafrep enteres yard and placed if near a window whore be Jevuia sev the enamored pair holding a tee a tete by the Hchen fire. Presently they retired to the bedreom, Mrs. Warren carrying a candle, Mr. Warren being entirely at bome on the premiies, and as calm as could be expected funder the circumstances, immediately repaired to op- jpouite side of the house, where he could command a view feof tbe bedroom, and there saw, through a window, the eparations making for early retiriag (this being only p tue after eight o'clock), and presently the light was ex- Uoguisbed. As it was clear that he was to have no fur- ther evidence of his wife’s infidelity in the position he then occupied, and not caring to walt any longer mt the bedroom window, he repaired to a door fand knocked, No answer come to his summons and without repeating it, he burst open the door jand ran towards the bedroom. He mot Phelps just leaving that apartment, and at once assaulted him. helps was much the heavier mau of the two, but the ftone cutter made up in his knowledge of pounding what be lacked iu weight. Phelps was throwo down and beat- en seriously about the bead and face. Meanwhile the wife looked on terror stricken, and the cries of Phelps Drought to the spot, from the chamber above, the daugh- ter and son of Mr. Warren, who were much terrified by the proceeding—to them so strange. Mr. Warren called to bis son to bring him the carving knife, that he might despatch Phelps upon the spot. ‘The boy refused to com- Wy, aud assured his father that he would be hung if he Filléd the man. Presently Phelps escape! from Warren ‘and ran into the yard, but he was overtaken and again beaten. By this time the alarm had spread in the neigh- Dorhood, and people repaired to the spot to see what was going on, among the number officer Hill, who took Phelps into custody ant put an end to the compat. Phelps was taken before a magistrate and entered bail for bia future appearance, aud then went to his room at the Canandaigua Hotel, where he had medical attendance. His faco was barily cut and bruised, but he had received no dangerous wounds. The extent of the punishment he Teceived at the bands of Warren may be inferred by the fact that the right hand of the latter was pretty badly smashed in the pounding process. ‘The affair created great sonsation in Canandaigua, and Thaukegiving was devoted chiefly vo its discussion among the people of the village. Public sentiment of course fa- vors Mr. Warren. He has been respected as a worthy citizen, and his wife had not been suspected of wrong do- tug so far as wecan learn. She is a good looking womat or about 85 years, and has an interesting family, who are sorcly and shamefully disgraced by her conduct.’ The re- sult will be a divorce and breaking up of the family. The children will be gent to this city to raside with the relatives of their father. Mr. Warren was once a citizen of Rochos- tor, and only left here six or seven years ago. His rela. tives arc all respectable people; of her family and antece- dents we kuow nothing. It is probable that a civil suit will be instituted by War- ren against Phelps, and as the latter is reputed to be ‘wealthy, we presume this part of the affair will be adjust- ed without much scandal or litigation. It is a sad affair, particularly in view of the fact that some of the innocen| children of this faithless wife are just at the age to fecl and realize the disgrace inflicted upon the family. ry Granggpementio The Oil Excitement in Pennsylvania. rom the Harrisburg Telegraph, Dec. t ‘Tho oll fever is raging in portions of Western Pennsy!- ‘An exchange published in that section says that Crawford county, and especially in the vicinity of Oil , the fever is epidemic. Everybody is more or leas ‘i, and the attention of the people is pretty gene- rally directed to the reservoirs of wealth that have been discovered, or are supposed to exist, in that section. Near ‘Titusville, a great subterranean reservoir of oil has been tapped, and in another place, ten miles distant, oil is being raised from a well, with a small hand pump, at the rate of fifteen gallons per hoar, The indications of oll at that place are said to be very fine. It may be seen Fiving in many places from the bed of tho river, “and by digging the shore three or four feet below the level of the river, the water in the excava- dion svon becomes covered with oil. Many of the wells dug for domestic use contain so much oil a8 to render the water unfit for use, and from eome of the wolls oil flows continually day and night.” Numerous companies are being formed t bore for the oil, and lands supposed to cover the reservoirs are in great’ demand, so it is said. This discovery promises to revolutionize the oil business of the country. Professor Silliman bas analyzed the article, and pronounces it one of the best materials in ex- istence for illuminating purposes. _It is algo said by man’ to be an excellent lubricator, It has boon tried wi Satisfactory results on buggy axles. When subjected to a high heat, it yields paraffiue in large qQnantities, and from that material beautiful white eandies are manufactured It is, besides, “ unequatled as 8 huiment for mau or beast.”’ It affords ‘“ great relief’ in cases of asthma. Physicians pronounce it valuable as a remedy in:scrofulous diseases. It relieves the nervous or sick headache. It cures consumption, and minor dis. eases ‘too numerous to mention.” If all these things are so, great, indeed, is the aivcovery, and tremendous will be the effect upon the of! market ‘and the physical condition of the world. Whales will'no ble, except for their bones. The manufacture of lard oil will be suspended; the value of lard will conseqnently de- cline. Pork packers, candle makers, &c., will make note of this. Then it will effectually use up the coal oil business. It is fortunate for the pork trade that the startling and important announcements Dave been made thus early in the season. If they fail to be warned and prepare for the revolution that is ap- prouching, they will have nobody to blaine but them- selves. The Petroleum or rock oi! of Pennsylvania, if we can believe the reports, will take possession of the markets, ‘ten cents per gallon will cover the expense of pomping, barreling and transportation to New York, where for the present it is being refined, and the article. ready for consumption, will be gold at'a very low figure compared with other oils. It will iluminate, labricate, make candles and care most diseases from which hu manity suffers. There will, ‘efore, be but little use hereafter for the whale, the hog or the gravedigger. Let the world rejoice, and let pork packers and doctors take ‘warning. Direct Trade between the Eastern Conti- nent and the Southern States. MEETING OF THE MERCHANTS OF RICHMOND. A large meeting of Richmond merchants was held on the Ist inst., at which the following resolutions in fayor of direct importation were adopted:— 1, Resolved, That in future, go far as our capital and facilities will enable us to do so, we will import our own goods of foreign growth or manufacture direct w this Jonger be valua- 2. Resolved, That those of us who now have orders in the hands of agents or manufacturers, awaiting execution ring trade, pledge ourselves to use our best ef- ve the goods shipped to James.river, even at an advanced rate of freight and that from and after the first day of January next, we bind ourselves not to give an order for foreign goods to any party, without an under- standing that gach goods shall.be shipped to James river when practicable; ‘and furtherniore, in order to facilitate the object we have ia view, we hereby pledge ourselves to unite upon some one or more responsible shipping ts at Liverpool. 3. Resolved, That @ committee of three be appointed to draft an agreement in accordance with the above resolu- tions, and procure the signature of every merchant in this city engaged in the importation of foreign merchandise, ‘and that said paper be deposited with the Secretary of the Board of Trade of this city. The Richmond Enquirer urges the Virginia Legislature to pass Jaws establishing ‘ full and complete nou-iuter- course, enforced by fines and penaltios that will keep out of our borders every article of Northern manufaoture or importation.” Obituary.

Surrogate’s Office. Before Edward C. Wes’, Surrogate. Wilof David Nicholls, Deceased.—This case came be- fore the Surrogate on the final settlement of the executors’ accounts. It appears that the estate amountsto about $200,000 at least, Tho accounts were presented aud allowed, and a decree entered finally seitling the whole estate, except in the matter of two questions which arose regarding it, and which were reserved for further dires- “ton by the Surrogste, The firet question is:—Sball the widow 0! the testator be allowed interest after the expira- tion of ope year from her husband’s death? This ques tion, after having been argued at great length by conneol, was submitted to the Surrogate for decisiou. ‘The other question arises upon the residuary clause of the will, by whieh the testator devises and bequeaths tho residue of his estate to tlve persons, who shali be uamed and ap- inted as trustees by the Suyreme Court of the State of ‘ermont, to found and estab!ish au institution for the edu: cation of females, to be located at Middlebury, Vermont. ‘This clause is contested on the ground that itis inculcated with the Revised Statutes im reiation Lo trustees and gus: pension of the ownership and personal estate and has ‘attained to a perpetuity. The points involved in this case pave been frequently discussed of late in our courts, The argitien 9p this second question was adjourned until the 13th inst. WILL OF ELIZABETH CLEU. This will, which involves about $250,000, has o¢ cupied much of the Court’s time since spring. I now seems in a fair way of being terminated before the end of the present year. This case presents a ro- mantic interest in many of its phases. Mrs. Cleu made a ‘will in 1851 in favor of ber husband, John F. Cleu. She died in March, 1859, leaving neither ancestors nor de scendants, but leaving two sisters—one the wile of James B Taylor, and ghe other the wife of J. E. Devlin, and also leaving a broth, Albert Day. Mr. Clen. offered the will for probate in May last, and the relatives of the deceased already mentioned appeared as contestants, alleging that Mrs. Cleu, in December, 1856, made another will in their favor, which Lon bad been unable to find, and the contents of which they have undertaken to prove. The testimony on the loss of this will alone occupied several weeks, the most noticeable facts boing that Mrs. Cleu died at the house of a friend (Mrs. Dodge) in Eleventh street, after a protracted illness it imme- diately after her funeral, Mr. Cleu, who ovcupied an up- per room in the house, was beset by those_parties, with whom the Dodges were in sympathy, and ail the tranks apd papers of Mrs. Cleu were seized by them—Mrs. Lock wood, a daughter of Mra. Dodge, claiming that Mrs. Cleo had given her one of the trunks and contents, whish trank turned out to contain, among other things, two portraits of Mr. and several papers; thata certain carpet bag, in which Mrs. Cleu’s important papers were thought to be copied, was taken by Mrs. Lockwood and Mrs. Devlin wo the house of the latter in Brooklyn, and that there they rorted them, burning those they med of no imoor- tance; that these trunks were afterwards taken possession of by the Surrogate’s officers, who sealed them up, and that Mrs. Lockwood examined the contents of one. On the otber branch of the investigation, which related to the con- tents of this will, it appeared that it was drawn up by David P. Hall, Exq., December 16, 1856, and was witness- ed by Mre. Lock wood, James and Joseph 8. Ridgway, two legal gentlemen, occupying the same ollice; by Henry M. Birkett, who was Mr. Hall’e clerk,and by Mr. Hall him. self; that none of those witnesses,’ except Mr. Lockwood, undertook to give the contents, and sho attempted to prove it from her recollection, after having heard it read once, in December, 1856, when it was exccuted—she being pre cise in her direct examination, but having failed to give with accuracy the’Contents of a short will read to her by the Surrogate while she was on the stand. The contestaut now undertook to prove by Mr. Edward Wethorell about his sister, who lived at No. 10 Columbia street, New York, that Mrs. Cleu came there December 16, 1856, and re- mained till Christmas, and that when sho left she gave them charge of the Hall will; that they put it in a trunk, unlocked, which was kept in a closet, open to the whole fa: mily; that they read it once or twice, and that Mr. Wethereil heard the written memorandum of the contents which he produced, and awore in answer to many questions he ‘was sure he made that memorandum in December, 1855. The counsel for the proponent are now engaged in con- tradicting him on this point. They had Mr, Ganficld, of Massachuretis, on the stand, who testified that the paper on which the memorkndum was made was manufactured at his mills, and that paper of its descrip- tion was not made in his miils before July 20, 1857, and that judging from the texture and quality of the paper, he thought it was not made until December, 1858. It is Bought to be established by the proponent that the Hall will was executed by fraud and undue influence. A commission has been issued to New Orleans, to which is annexed several letters of Mrs. Cleu’s to friends there, in which she describes the manner in which she was seduced into the belief in spiritualism, which induced hor to execute several papers, of which she had afterwards no remembrance. If this branch of the case be gone into, it is yet likely to be prolonged a considerable time, Tide Water Receipts. ‘The receipts at tide water of flour, wheat, corn and barley, for the fouyth week of November, in 1858 and 1859, bave been as follows:— Flour, lols.

The monthly fable® of the trade of the port of Now York for the month of November have now been com- pleted, and we subjoin our usual comparative statements for the month and for the periods which havo elapsed of the fiseal and the calendar years.

The import of dry goods was increasing, and prices gave the importer a fair profit. ‘There was an aciive trade, at improving prices, in tea and sugar, Breadstuffs had boen freely shipped to Great Britain, but the quality being generally very poor in- deed, hoavy lorses had resulted to the shippers. The cotton crop was coming forward rapidly, and the South was taking from one to two millions in gold from New. York per week. Thero was no movement in gold to Eu- rope; the best bankers’ bills on London were selling at 10934 a 34. Money was abundant at 4 per cent; the banks held over $27,000,000 in gold, the Sub-Treasury nearly $7,000,000. Quiet reigned in political affairs; there was some vague talk of war with Mexico, but not enough to create any general uncusinces; not the least indication of the Italian war had been noticed. At the presont timo, so far as the exporting business is concernod, the prospect is brighter than it was a year ago. The broadstuils movement to Europe is increasing and profitable. The cotton crop promises to be some 200,000 bales in excess of that of Inst year, and the price is satisfactory. For provisions and other staple exports the foreign demand is fair. Importers, with fow excoptions, look for an active trade next spring, but in dry goods it seems probable that the market will again be glutted, and we have yet to see what offect the slavery agitation in its new shape will have on Southern sales, So far as politics are concerned, if the slavery question be omitted from view, the prospect is not unsatisfactory; the talk of war between Great Britain and France is mere newspaper clamor, and there gcems no immediate prospect of any disturbance of our relations with our near by neighbors. The imports of the year haye been so large that foreign exchange is 4¢ a \ per cent higher than it was at this time last year, though New York has lost some $11,000,000 in gold ciuce then. Money is fully 13¢ a 2 por cent dearer now than it was last November. ‘The gradual opotation of those changes may be detected by study of the movement of trade, Tho following tables will show the movement af foreign commorca at this port for the ye months which hay elapsed of the current fisog cay, ag o mpared with the eorreepanding period of the fisea! year 1858-’0:— Imgorts of For-wn Merchandtes. 186+.

We are bound to repeat the observation we have made already, that our importers are pursuing @ course which can hardly by any porsibility turn out totheir advantage. In their haste to become rich, they are losing sight of a number of facts which should warn them against increasing their pur- chases of foreign goods. No country @@ buy more than Steolls. If our exports of gold, cot, breadstulfs, pro- visions, &c., only amount to $250,000,000 a year, and we ny $400,000,000 of foreign goods, bankruptcy must ensue. ‘The increaged product and high price of cotton have this fall prevented an export of specie which would haye com- pelled many of our banks tosuspend payment. But it will not do to expect a similar rescue every fall. The violence of the slavery excitement has already rendered areliance upon Southern cotton to pay Northern debts somewhat insecure. ‘If, by any mischance, servile in- surrections or civl war, or the apprehension of either, should check the planting of cotton for next season, nothing could save the bulk of the Northern merchants and the Northern banks. Ultimately, of course, the South would suffer as severely as any other part of the country; but the first shock would be felt here. If ever there was a period when the signs of tho times called for prudence in importing, it is now. Some of the traffic reports of the Northern and Western railroads for November have come to hand; we cha'l probably have the others this weok. It must always be borne in mind that the earnings are given as estimated for both years; the result is varied when settlements are made with other roads:— Roads. .

Tho steady increase in the busi- ness of the roads centroing at this city is very gratifying, fnd proves how steadily and surely the city advances. If the settlements between the Erie and its connections leave as large a net increase over last year as is shown above by a comparison of the gross earnings, the prospects of the reorganization will be considerably improved. The movement in oftton at the South continues vigor- ous, Notwithstanding the decline in the rivers, cotton continues to come forward at an unprecedented rate, and the railroads are reaping a splendid harvest. The re- ceipts at the ports for the last cotton week wore 147,000 bales, against 129,000 same week last year, and 95,000 same week of 1857, making the total receipt fur the sea- son 1,256,600 bales, against 1,091,000 to same date last year, and 610,000 to same date of 1857. The exports to date, are 596,000 bales, against 448,000 to same date of 1858, and 282,000 to same date of 1857. The prico is dull and lower, the report from Europe not having answered the expectations of holders on this side. Breadstufl’s con- tinue to advance, and are being’freely taken for export to Europe. Flour, especially good State qualities, is iu ac- tive demand for England, where it is now selling above the price in New York. It is believed that there will be afree export of flour to Europe throughout the winter. Foreign produce, with the exception of sugar, is generally rather dull. Teas are quite @ull; tho last advices from Europe report a fal in black teas which has checked pur- chases on this sido. The amount of business doing in foreign produce is, as usual at this season, quite moderate. ‘The following is our usual comparative Custom House table of the foreign trade of this port, for the weok and since January 1:— Iuports.

Tho probability is, therefore, that they will show an increase of a million and a half to-morrow. ‘Their last specie average was $18,831,924. Tho Sub-Treasury balance docs not vary much; it stood yesterday at $5,840,432, against $6,877,686 at the close of last week. No necessity is yet felt to lower the rate of Treasury notes; with the present income from duties the Sub-Treasurer is able to pay his way, and will be in funds to meet the January interest on the public debt, and the drafts that may be expected from Washington as soon as Congress meets. Tho bank loans, itis hoped, will show no increase to-morrow. It would be eminently gratifying to the conservative portion of our merchants if those institutions could contrive t get through the winter without increasing their line over $120,000,000. There bas been rather more demand for money this week, in consequence of the approach of the holidays and the course of the banks. Very little paper is now done below 63g, though very choice short acceptances are still negotiable at 6. The rate for 4a 6 months paper, strictly first clase, is 7 per cont; anything but first class goes at 8 10, and second class paper at 12 a 18, according to quality.

We bave kept our readera go fully informed of the progrees of the negotiation and the causes of the rap ture that tbere is little wow to add by way of narration. On Saturday morning we took exception to a statement in an evening paper charging tho responsibility for brea off the negiotiations on Vanderbilt. The Pacific Mail rectors have likewise very properly contradicted the statement, and have published the following report of their special committee:— ‘The undersigned, appointed a committee to complete an marked arrangement on the basis of the enclosed paper, A, respectivily report:— ‘That ou tue 2th of November a letter was from Mr. Vanderbilt, announcing that at a meetin Board of the Atlantic and Pacific Steamship Gon that day, the proposed arrangement was laid befure them, and that’ committee of two was appointed io carry iL out, the same consisting of Mr. Clark aud Mr. Roberts, and that he had urged the former to defer @ visit to Washington for the purpose. This letter is aunexed, marked B. We also annex, marked C, a memorandum of the pro- ceedings of that Board, enclosed by Mr. Vanderbilt. By this it appears that the proposed arraugement was stated to the Board as understood/by us, with the exception that Mr. Vanderbilt offered to loan that Compaoy the neces- sary means to make the purchase, thus getting rid of the difficulty caused by the limitation of the capital of the At- Tanti and Pacitic Steamship Company. ‘The committee thus oonstituted met on Saturday night, November 26, at Mr. Roberts’ house. ‘The business in hand was discussed, and among other points a demand was made by Mr. Mark that Mr. Aspinwall, or some other person equally responsible, should guarantee that neither the Company nor tts steamers, nor prominent members of the Company, should act in to the line of Mr. Vandertilt in the Califernia business. To comply with this demand was impossible, and we considered it an afterthought, involving on the one hand the necessity cf one person, with small interest, as: suming @ personal guarantee to be measured by’ two millions of dollars, or on the other the necessity of the company retaining from the stockhgders the proceeds of their property, when the main object of the sale was to distribute thete proceeds. A proposition was mutually agreed to by way of com- promise—to mect Judge Kent on the following Monday, and allow him to adjust some plan by which the gecurity contemplated in the original plan could be granted. The accidental absence of Judge Keut ou Monday, and tho te- nacity of the Atlantic and Pacific Steamship Uompany as to mdividual security, led to two subsequent inwrviews between Mr. Aspinwall and Mr, Vanderbilt, at the lauior of which Mr. Vanderbilt promised that the ‘matter should be definitely arranged. Late last evening, a letter, liereto annexed, Marked D, was received from Mr. Clark, stating that the plan was impracticable. On inquiring, by letter, this morning, of Mr. Vanderbilt (D, 2), whether Mr. Clark’ was authorized by him, he stated not, but promised (D, 2) tosend a copy of a lotter aa- dressed to him by Mr. Roberts and Mr. Clark to-day, and accordingly sent the following letter marked E, enclosing one from his committee. eat reply of Mr. Aspinwall to which is annexed, mark- ‘This communication from Mr. Vanderbilt puts an end to the agreement we were appointed to carry out, aad it only remaing for us to Pisce the fees betore the Board, audre paersientens "WM. H. DAVIDGR, New York, Noy. 30, 1859. WM. H. ASPINWaLL. It will thus be ecen that, on their own showing, the no- gotiation was broken off because the Pacific Mail Com. pany was unwilling to give adequate guarantees that “neither the company, nor its steamers, nor its promi- nent directors,” would carry on an opposition against their new purchaser, In other words, they expected to sell Vanderbilt seven of their boats for twice their value, and at the came time to reserve the right of ranning an opposition against him by way of Tehuantepec or Pana- ma with the remaining eix, As to Mr. Aspinwall’s plea that he had not interest enough to become security m such a case, it will be noticed that Mr. Clarke did not in. sist on Aspinwall being the eccurity, but was ready to take “‘some other person equally responsible.”” With regard to the other point in this affair—the stock speculation—A “Director of the Pasific Mail Company”? publishes acard, in which he says:— Ono incentive to speedy action was the desire to prevent stock speculations based on information not generaily known, and notwithstanding the insiquations that the managers of the Pacific were the opora- tors,1 beljeve it is notorious who were the large sell- ers at thé high prices. I think i” the managers and friends of the Pacitic Company have been operators they have also been sufferers; for having full faith in the fuifil ment of the arrangement, they are kuown to have hel 4 ‘their stock whilst the shrewd ones sold at high prices. ‘The first doubts created of the carrying out of the agroe- ment were these sales Ifthisis the best defence these gentlemen can make, we fear the public verdict will go against thom; for, the question is not whether certaim of the P. M. people. “had faith,” and held on to their stock, or whether they were “ghrewd,” or whetber any of them have been “sufferers,” the question is, who bought Pacific Mail stock at and about 74, when the proposed arrangement was, or should have been, known enly to Cornelius Vanderbilt and William H. Aspinwall? Whogave outon Monday morning last that the bargain was a fact, and so persuaded innocent out- siders to buy the stock at and above 90? Who made thou. sands of dollars in a week by the rapid turn in the stock? “A Pacific Mail Director” will geta very quick answer to these questions if he puts them to any intelligent Wall street broker; indeed, it would seem that the successful operators have been too preud of their gains to be able to keep their own secret. In railway stocks the business of the week has been ac- tive, though prices were not sustained to the close. Tho John Brown a‘fair exercised a prejudicial influence on the market, aud deterred people from speculating. The pre- ‘vailing opinion appears to be that the new year will in- augurate an upward movement in many stocks which have doen depressed, and that increased traffic will justify an improvement.
