2 The Forrest Divorce Cane, COUNTER AFFIDAVIT OF MR. FORREST ON THE REPORT OF THE REFEREE AWAKUING MRS. FORREST $4,000 | ALIMONY. SUPERIOR COURT—SPECLAL THRM. Duo. 21.—Oatherine N. Forrest ws. Edwin Forrest.—City and County of New York.—I, Eiwia Forrest, the detent ant above mamed, being duly sworn, state as fuilows:—I have read the copy of an aflidavit purporting to have been mado by the plaintiff in this action on tho sixteenth day of December instant. If Icorrectly understand that ailldavit, it was intended to show that I desired aud meant to create unnecessary delay in this suit, and was defending the ame solely from unworthy motives. I pronounce the im” putation thas made to be utterly unwarrantable. I have always believed, and now believe, the verdict and jadg- ment against me in this action to be erroneous, aud I oa" tortain the hope, which has never deserted me, that at some time the injustice thus done mo would be corrected | im the due course of law by the court of last resort in if not in this tribunal. And the eouree I have taken and am taking herein, personally and counsel, is ado) with no other view than to eoetee such legal ats as I consider myself entitled to enjoy. Amongst these rights I include the moans and ‘opportunity to review not only the orders and decrees heretofore, but those which may be hereafter made ‘me in this action, and the report of Mr. Bradley, Ui referee herein, together with any action of this Court thereon adverse to me. And I have directed my counsel take all legal steps nocessary to correct the errors, ‘which I believe, and they advise me, have been committed ‘such re] It ig quite trae that I am reluctant to fur- the tiff any support out of my estate, or to let share it in any proportion, because I believe her in respect unworthy to receive it, and while I yield to we of the land and what may be done under them, I not omit any honorable effort, consistent with those la avoid apy exaction for the plaintiff's benefit which I may rightfully prevent, And the fact that I em now under an s tioable pericd, and have the same taken up, if necessary, for ultimate éeeigien in the court of last resort, to which right to present any against me ‘was entered in this action on the Sst day ot January, 1862, and permanent alimony awarded at the rate of three thousand dollars per year. The referee has in- creased the amount to four thousand dollars per year, di- with the commencement of bas fixed the sum I am to pay in reference to the increase of my means from all gources since the judgment of divorce was entered, and up to the date of his report. He has alo, as I am told, laid entirely out of view the fact that the plaintiff has adopted the profession of acting, and hada very profitable em- ployment as@ manager and as au actress in California, ‘which I proved in the reference. He has, too, as I am in: formed, stated such allowance in reference not alone to the style in which the plaintiff and I lived while residing together, or in which she lived when voluntarily separated from me, but also in connection with the expectations which the referee finds she had formed of living in a more sumptuous and splendid style at Fonthill and at my sis- ter’s bouse in Philadelphia. It is said, also, that be has in effect declared her pecuniary circumstances to be of no ‘consequence, in his opinion, and substantially rejected all proof bearing upon any other pecuniary point than the extent of my fortune present and prospective. The re- sult of his decision, as I understand it, is that she shall have the greater portion of my productive property. It is my desire and intention to have decided—if necessary, by the Court of Appeais—whether the estate of a hus- band is thus to be dealt with when a wife obtains a divorce from him, and whether, as the referee seems to have concluded, a judgment for divorce is also a decree for partition, as if she and the husband were jowtly seized of ail his estate; and whether in such parti- tion nearly the whole prodactive property of the husband should be given to the wife in addition to her right of dower. In the course of the reference, I oifered to prove sexual with men by plaintiff since the afore- said deci ree. The offer was made in good faith, under a that the testimony was compotent, and yet it was rejected, in supposed accordance with the decision of this court in June last, refusing me commissions to examine witnesses to show the unchaste conduct, intem- Perance and extravagance of the plaintift ne of the ‘witnesses produced by me on such reference was Mr. | John H. Gihon, of Paterson, New Jersey, an editor and a | highly respectable gentleman. He proved that he was in California during each of the years 1849, 1850, 1851, 1862, 1863 and 1854; that in the winter and spring of | 1853-4 he became acquainted with the plaintiff, who was | then managing a theatre in San Francisco, in which she at the same time acted. Plaintiff told him that the ex- penees of the theatre were $700 a\ night, and it was capa- — ble of holding at the prices between $3,000and $4,000. The | witness thereupon secured an engagement with plaintit | for Mies Heron, the celebrated actress, by which the lat- ter was to receive half the proceeds of each night she per- formed, less $400, with a benefit, as usual, and half the grose proceeds or receipts one im the week. The company performed on Sunday nights, but Miss Heron did not. She fulfilled her engagement, drawing large bouses. This was just after Madame Anna Thillon had played an engagement at the same theatre, and, under the | management, performing three nights a week alter- | same nately with Mr. Murdock, each of said performers being what is called ‘‘a star,’ and the lady drawing crowded houses. While plaintiff had the management of said theatre the house was generally well filled, and the engagement of Miss Heron, which was pot more than ‘‘an average one,” paid her liberally. By this witness my counsel offered to Prove before the referee that the plaintiff, while in California, ‘was “‘babitually evtravagant in expending money for her personal purposes.”” as irrelevant and excluded by the referee, whereupon my counsel excepted. My counsel then put to the witness the following questions:—1. Are you acquainted with Mrs. For- rest’s general character as to chastity during the period you resi im California? 2. What class of persons visited and were the intimate associates of Mrs. Forrest in Cali- fornia while you resided there? Each of these questions was objected to by plaintifi’s counsel, a3 irrelevant, and excluded, and the ruling as to each was excepted to. ‘When the second question was put my counsel stated that both questions were put “with a view to elicit proof show ing that Mrs. Forrest, while residing in California, was habitually unchaste, and constantly received as ber most intimate companions, visiters and friends the profligate men of San Francisco, whose names and occupations” he roposed in this connection to show. I produced witnesses fore the referee to ent that the plaintiff, while residing in California or elsewhere, after the divorce aforesai1, had never occupied more than part of a house; also to show the expense which would attend maintaining hersoif respectably, and in a suitable condition, either in a hotel, | private apartments, or if she kept house; but as I ‘understand, the referce has treated all this proof, and ali proof of the like nature, ag entirely irrelevant. ’ In the Same manner he appears to have disposed of a memoran dum or account book kept by the plaintiff during the ears 1848 and 1849 while we Fesiled together at 234 West euty-second street in the city of New York, showing in part the expenses of maintaining that establishment during those years. The aforesaid aflidavit of plaintiif contains extracts from the testimony which I gave before the referee in anewer to questions put to me by my counsel. Those ftatementa were mace *y me as the spontan iages- tions of my own mind, without consultation any other ron, anid as the reason why Icould not eli what bad Become of the moneys received by me for acting after 1858, in reference to which I had been most minutely and rig- orously cross. examined, a8 I had also been concerning | may other subjecta, by plaintif's counsel. TI expressed in ttie answers tour given my honest convictions tong en- tertained. The allowance made by me to the piaintitl, to which she consented, while we lived separate by agreement, was filteen hundred dollars por year; the allowance made to her for clothing While’ we lived together, and which she accepted us satis- factory, was, as I state’ in giving testimony betore said referee, two hundred dollars per year. I testified that my whole estate amounted to $176,500 in correction of a statement estimating it ata higher amount, and Igave a full and minute description of my property and its in- ‘come, and it will, I think, be feund on examining it that the réferee has, even on the principles adopted by him in bis report, made, to tho plaintilf an unreasonable and ex: travagant’ allowance. On the subject of delay in this action [call the atteution of the Court to tbe fact that I appealed from the judgment of divorce at the special term, ‘abc such appeal was decided at the general term of this court early in 1856. Tho judgment on such appeal was i, and no step was taken in this til the month of June, 1369, just , Who had been my counsel throughout, was about leaving fo ope.

Death of Americans—Alerations in Customs Duties—The Struggle Between the Constitutional and Federas Par- tics Brutal Hacesses of the Latter— Punctuality of the Goverwment in ite Obligations Towards Foreign Oredi- tors— Mysterious Disappearance of “the Dragoon of the West" —The Afairoy M. Levraud, 6c. Sivoe the death of the beautiul children of the Ameri- can Consul for this port, we have to lament the death of Martin C. Bradley, one of the engivecrs of the Petare railroad. He had beem engaged in the construction ef a railroad in this city. I understand he wasa New Yorkor. ‘The Philadelphia bark Roweua has just appeared in port after a remarkably short voyage of ten and a half days. The government bas decreed a duty on taffetas of 121¢ | cents instead of 18%, a8 before. Sulphur will pay | $1 873%, and the fourth part of sald sum per one hun- | dred pounds. Now, what can I say of national affairs? Tho position | of thie country is not settled as yet, but it must be con- | feesed that the constitutional government have done and | are doing their beat to pacify the country. They have | almost succeeded, but notwithstanding they have a great { deal still to do, The federal party—I should say the Vandalic party—is a sort of pheonix, which | rises from itsown ashes. They are defeated wherever | and whenever the constitutional troops meet them; but | soon after the battle they reassemble and form a new ea- | campment to rob, burn, murder and violate most morci- lessly—for even infants do not escape their savage tury. ‘You may calculate without difficulty that very few farms or haciendas have stood in the struggle, the constitutional | party betng the rich, but the federal the sans culotte. ‘The government, however, have fulfilled thoir duty as far as possible under the circumstance, and—what is ex- traordinary—pay their foreign debta with bauklike puno- tuality. ‘a course maintains their credit in the mar- ket, and every purse is opened whenever money is re- quired. juired. ‘The principal army of tho federation was General Fai- con's, Which was dreaded so much as to put upon arms every citizen, old and young, in the republic; but thi fearful foe disappeared at the simple approach of the con- gtitational army, under Ramos, Casas and other Caracas And Valencia military officers.’ Probably the Dragoon of the West” has crossed the frontier and taken refage in New Grenada. More than the 80 much talked of army of Falcon we fear the guerrillas scattered throughout the couatry, oa account of the devastation they carry with them. Let us turn now to the exterior policy. We know scarcely anything confirmed by the official seal in regard to tho question of the French Minister in Caracas, Mr. Levraud; but rumor says that Napoleon will not back the qnarrelsome behavior of his man. Three consuls, it is said, bave been appointed in Paris to examine the brainless | career of Mr. Levraud. The Venezuelan Minister, Senor | Rodriguez, should not be received in his official charactor, but privately, to state the facts. Tne French residents of Caracas bave signed a pressing addreas to Count Walewski agaipet Mr. Levraud. ‘Her Catholic Majesty’s steamer Blasco de Garay is lying in our port. Her officers and the authorities of the town are on very friendly terms. The birthday of the Prince of Asturias, the eldest son of Queen Isabel, was celebrated | by the officers of the steamer with a royal salute, whero- upon the guns of the Venezuelan batteries fired another to please the welcome guests. The mariners of the steam- er bad saved, the day before, a Venez clan merchant gchooner which was in great danger of being capsized. “Jack Frost” has at last made bis appearance, and the nortbern winds bring to us all the souvenirs of the “Old Country.” VENEZUELAN POLITICS—THE CENTRALIST GOVERN- MENT AS COMPARED WITH THAT OF MONAGAS. | ‘TO THE EDITOR OF THK HERALD, New Youk, Dec. 21, 1859. Your Caracas correspondent very emphatically aflirms, for the information of the American people, in a letter of | November 27, published in yesterday’s Hmratp, that “the Centralists (that is, the present government of the coun- try) are, if possible, greater robbers than Monagas.”” | Allow me to say, as a Venezuelan, that this is simply | libellous, because:— 1, Monagas did not leave anything behind that could be robbed. 2. The Centralist government have pald ait their debts, and the Venezuelan bonds have consequently—after twelve years of shamefnl non est—reappeared with crodg in the London market. Robbers never pay. 8. The Centralist gevernment have contracted a loan of $1,000,000 in Caracas and Laguayra only. English, French and principally American merchants, protected by the Armstrong cannon, the Minie and the Home squadron, have readily subscribed the loan. Robbers have no credit. 4. The Centralists’ properties have been sacked, burned and otherwise destroyed. You never hear of any fede- rales Broperty Deeg destroyed. Robbors do not rob ere! Your correspondent says that ‘General Castro is the victim of his own party,” and that ‘he wisely saw the feelings and desires of a majority of the people, and know the consequences of a moment's delay in proclaiming the federation.’’ | “Allow me to answer with the very words of such an authority tbat you cannot accuse of partiality. ‘The New Yore Herat, in its issue of August 30, edi- torially and truthfully said as follows:— “General Castro, after driving out the corrupt govern- ment of Monagas, through the aasistance of the better class of Ly op in the country, adopted the policy of the government he had deposed, and pandored systematically | to the lowest class of the population. This error has Drought his own judgment, and the good sense of tho | good people of Caracas has iurned upon him, and carried | bim from the palace to the prison.”” The Designado, Sr. Gual, went out of power without re- ceiving his salary, and the honesty of the actual officers | bas never been doubted even by their worst enemies. | SIMON CAMACHO, 263 Broadway.

Financial and Industrial Progress—A National bank Es- tablished—Fureign Dells and Foreign Capital—A Robver | Arrested at Jes emie—Lvoking Out for a Boston Schooner, de , de. The Legislature has recently paseed a law for the es tablichment of a National Bank, with a capital of five million Haytien dollars, or about three hundred and thirty thousand dollars United States currency; the capi- tal to be increased as the affairs of the bank may requiro. ‘The bank ts to be located at Port au Prince, with branches atthe Cape, Aux Cayes, Gonaives, Jeremie, Jacmel and | the newly opened port of Port de Paix. Tho directors and counsel are appointed by the President of tho State. The bank being founded merely for the advancement and promotion of agriculture, money will be loaned only for objects connected with the tillage of land or for tho | purchase of machines, sugar c., or oven for the | purchase of farms and plantations. If the plan js prop’ carried out, Haytien industry will receive a noble impe tns. The planters who now borrow money from the mer- chants are obliged to pay two to two anda haif per cout interest per month. Thie is owing to the value of money somewhat, but more to risk run in lending, and to the fect that all foreiga funds are driven out of this employ- ment by the practical injastice of the laws. A foreigner cannot collect such debts under many years’ delay, if bis debtor is not disposed to pay. The cvurts of | law, itis true, may coudemn the borrower to pay the | sum due; but, on petition, he may obtain five, ten or | twenty years in which to pay, during which time intercst may not be charged. Of course, beforo the expiration ot the time, something will occur to the detriment of the creditor.

Tho Broad strect catastrophe was under iuvestigation before Coroner Schirmer, at tho First ward station house, yesterday, The affair caused @ greas deal of excitement in the lower part of tho oity. During the entire day the ruins were thronged with an anxious crowd of spectators, and many were the opinions expressed as to the cause of the accident and the quality of the building materials. Some said the store never was intended for the grocery business, and that it had the reputation of boing aa un- safo building for some time; while others thought it was a tolorably good structure, and attributed the accideat to placing too much flour on the third floor. (n the Coro- ner’s inquest one of the clerks testified that there were ab@nt 6,300 barrels of flour in the store at the time of the acci@gut, but that he did not coasider tho building over- loaded. He admitted that the store was ‘giving a little,” to use his own language, and that some carpenters had been there that very afternoon for the purpose of propping it up. ‘Tho body of Mr. Ely was placed in a hearso and re- moved to hi late residence in Brooklyn, followed by & large concourse of deceased’s friends and acquaintance. Mr. Ely was about fifty-eight years of ago, and was 8 na- tive of New Jersey. His body will be taken to Freehold on Friday, and there interred im the family burying ground. A gang of laborers were employed all day in removing the rubbish and searching for the bodies of other persons supposed to have been caught under the ruins, but up to alate hour last evening no new discoveries bad been made. The side walls of the building remain standing, but their position ia so ricketty that their fall may be looked for at any moment. Sergeant Snodgrass, of the First precinct police, stated to our reporter that it was a miracle that fifteen or twenty persons were not killed. About two minates before the front wall fell, he, in company with the members of En- gine Co. No. 20, was standing on the sidewalk opposite the store door. One of the porters called their attention toa stove which was in the rear of the building, and, thinking that it might set the place on fire, they started in a body for the store next door, and penetrating to the yard, looked to see if there was any fire. Hardly a mo ment had elapsed trom the time of their leaving the side- walk, when the second crash took place, and tho front wall was scattered all over the street aud sidewalk. om, following is a report of the testimony thus far elicited:— Charles K. Clapp, being duly sworn, doposes and says:— Ilive at No. 219 Washington street, Brooklyn; | am a clerk in the firm of Kent & Lowber, Nos. 54 aad 56 Broad atreet; I was iu the store about half-paat five o’clock on ‘Tueeuiay afternoon, when the first crash took place; I was in the frovt part of the store, near the door; I dou’t know which floor ‘ell first, but the crash appeared,to be in the rear; I got ont of the building as soon as I could; the oo- Jored porter was in the collar at the tim number of the clerks were in the store, besides Henry Weed, the porter; when I got out of the building I went across the street, and sudeequently went back to the store to see if any one was hurt; when I got back | saw that we were all safe ex cept the colored porter; I immediately called for bi found out that be was in the vault and perfec Weed, the white porter, was sent to notify the insurance patrol; he failed to find the insurance mon, but broaght down Engine Company No. 20, to be in readiness to put out any fire; when the firemen arrived about a dozen of us went into the store to turn off the gas; we went up as far as the eecond story, and turned off the gas; finding we could not do anything further we cane down stairs; the police then appeared on the ground, and requested us to clear out the crowd and lock the doors, which we did; when we got outside the store we siood on the sidewalk talking about the accident, aad remained there about half an hour perhaps, when the second crash took place; I was standing near the door, when, hearing a nose inside, I ran out of the way, aud a few seconds atterwards the front wall came down; I ran across the street, and as soon as the dust cleared off a , little I returned to the ruins and helped to dig out those persons who had been caught by the wall; 1 did not see Mr. Ely; I am not acquainted with him; the first person taken out of the ruins was a woman; a number of others were then extricated, among them Mr. Ely and policeman Stewart; I remained at the ruins until about 934 o'clock; there wasan alarm for fire, and a great crowd gathering about the place; I thought I would bo of no ser- vice; 80 went home; I can’t say how many barrels of flour were in the building, but I should judge there were about 5,300 or thereabouts; on the third floor there was most tlour; we have often had the store as fall of flour as it could hold; the building was not damaged in any way, but I knew it was not a very strong one; we notified the owner of the store that it was giving a little, and he sent his carpenter to the place yesterday; the carpenter came and bronght some ft of timver, which he put in the cellar, and then left; I do not know whether he did anything or ‘not; the divid- ing wall in the oellar was cracked near the arch, and it was for the of str ie this arch tbat the mmter was sentfor; we are constantly Tecetving and delivering goods, so that it would be impos- Bible for me to say on whit occasion we had the heavicst amount of merchandise in the store; 1 know that last store packed ag full as it could hold; some important witnesses, he would be obliged to post- pone the inquest until tea o’clock this . He in- tended summoning a number of masons, carpenters and others, for the purpose of ascel the real facts in the case, and intimated that no pains would be spared to give the matter a thorough investigation. The jury then repaired to the scene of the accident, and after examining the ruins, sepsrated, with the understanding that they would reassemble this morning at the Coroner’s ollice, No. 4 Centre street.

It is ex- pected that the attendance will be very largo, a good deal of excitement existing in connection with this question. tis stated that desporate efforts have been made by the monopoliats to get the injunction vacated, but that Judge Hogeboom was not to be shaken in his determination to give the case a full and searching consideration. ‘Tue Cory Rarosps.—At the last meeting of the Com- | mon Council the Railroad Committe, to whom tho sub Ject in relation to the fares charged was referred, submit- ted a report, from which it appears that the contract as. sented to by the city and the company on tho 20th De. 1 by which the company was allowed to charge ents fare for all persons, except school chil- dren (who were to be charged three conta), expired on the 20th inst. The committee state that the company | have materially added to their own profit and advantago in the construction and use of several of the roads con- tained in their original grant, and the time had now como when a strict enforcement should be made on their part of any extensions of the routes now in use, that the pub. he might have the benetit of transit and convenience, and the City Treasury repleted with the iacome of taxes on the property improved along the lines; and that they should be compelled to incroase the facilities, comforts me of running upon the routes now in use, and especially upon the extreme ends, and discontinue as far as practicablg the transfer of passengers to or from one horse or omnibus cars. The committee, having examined the books of the company, find that the iength of the roads is 20.16 miles, and that on the 3vth of September, 1859, the balance sheet stood as foliows:— Construction, $589,333 04; equipment, $282,433 52; real estate, $182,140 80.

Yesterday morning at half-past seven o'clock, the fuse factory of Toy, Bici & 00 , situated near thé Congre- gatioval church, in the town of Simsbury, was votally de- sere b fire, the origin of which is unknown. It is lig! burst out. In two minutes from thie sir building was all on fire, and soon burned down. The fire spread go rapid- ly that but a portion of the employés were enabled to es cape; and eight women were burned to death and four persons were seriously injured.’ The names of the dead i#e Catharine , two girls named Kitchen, » Miss J. Bacon, and two sis- tere pamed Head. Mr. Jos. Pree ot pee of he. Proprietors, was very seriousl ur ; .

The mains of the dead could be recognized only by the place Uney ocoupied, or by the fragments of clothing remaining upon the ies. yy were all burned to acrisp, and in some cases the bones are all that remaio of those who suffered the horrible death. The explosion occurred in the upper room, where all the powder wasused. All who worked bere were killed, and the cause of tho calamity will never be known. Mr. Toy, already mentioned, and Mr. Edwin P. Gris- wold, who were at work below, received their first inti- mation of the accident by the streaming of the fire dowa upon them from above, burning their faces, necks aud hands severely. Mr. Griswold, being near the door, stepped out immediately. Mr. held his breath, and, shutting his eyes, started for the door. He tailed w reach it, but found a window, and his hands being burned so as to be entirely useless, he broke it throug with his head, after two trials, and jumped out into the flume. He is dangerously, if’ not fatally injured. In breaking through the window he received several severe cuts; his face and neck are badly burned, and the flesh is burned from his banus. Dr. Elisworth has hopes of his ultimate recovery. Mr. Griswold was not dangerously injured. The cotton factory for the manufacture of cord for the fuse, stood across a ii stream from the burned build- ing, aud was connected with it by a small bridge, which ran from the second story of one to that of the othor Upon hearing the explosion, the foreman of the cotton factory, Mr. Chase, ran across this bridgo and found Har riet Head lying by the door, with the blood flowing from her mouth. He drew her out, but she died instantly. The remains wore taken to the town hose, and a jury of inquest called. The body of Miss Head, which was taken from the door upon the bridge by Mr. Chase, was the ys one which could be recognized. ‘At the time our informant left Simsbury, the jury had not returned their verdict, a discussion having arigen as to whether the aoaths were caused by fire or by the explosion. The general opinion is that death was produced by immediate suffocation from the smoke of the ira idan The names of the dead are:—Christina M. Kitchen, aged fourteen; Elizabeth Kitch- en, aged fourteen; Orpha J. Bacon, aged twonty-five ; Catharine Brazee, twenty-one; Mrs. Charles Lam: gon, aged thirty-three; Elizabeth Go idard, aged twenty- four; Klizabeth Head, aged twenty-one; Harriet Head, aged eighteen. The remains of the dead are to be collected together and buried in one grave, on Thuraday, at eleven o'clock. The appearance of the place indicated that the wood work of the building was saturated with powder. The rules of the factory required that the floor should bo swept four times a day—twice before noon and twice af- ter. The fires in the building had pot been stirred in the morning, nor the powder to be used for the day brought in. It appeared as if the fire had been driven down from ihe upper room with great violence upon the employés we Police Intelligence.
