8 — NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 21, 1860. the Notorious @onviction of Dr. Ellis, Swindler asd Confioence Man—Extra- Scene In Court. ordinary unt OF ORNERAL SESSIONS. Before Recorder Barnard. Fre. 20.—The altention of the Court was occupied to-day te trying | charge of grand larceny made against Dr. ‘Thos. T. Ellis by Mary Roberts, from whom he stole a @iamond ring valued at $1C0. The case was an interest- ing one, and its denouement was startling, ‘The prisoner ‘was a well dressed, gentlemanly looking person; but, aa will be diecovered in the sequel, is & notorious confidence man, having swindled the citizens of Philadelphia, Boston and other cities of large sums of money. Mary Roberts, the complainant, was, to all appear- enecs, a respectable female. She, too, was well dressed and quite intelligent, In ber testimony she stated that abe became acquainted with the Doctor about sixteen months ago; that she was in@he habit of visiting him for professional advice, ani@ that in the middle of February of last year, while she was in his office at No. 4 Lerey place, Bleecker street, he observed a diamond ring om her finger, and remarked, ‘‘That is # nice ring. Will you Jet mo look at it?” She consented, whereupon he took it eff her finger, and, upon being asked to return it, refused te do to, adding, “Don't be foolish; you need not be ‘afraid; 1'il return it to you.” Bat sbe never saw the ring afterwards, and it was not till seven months after the oc- @urrence that sbe procured his arrest. On her croes-examination, Mies Roberta said that after making the complaint at the Jeflerson Market Police Qourt, she was subsequently induced by the Doctor to withdraw the charge, he promising to give the ring back within a week, or else give her the full value of it in money, which be refused to do. Offiver Boyle testified that when he arrested Dr. Ellis bo admitted that he had taken the ring. The prisoner was defended by two ex- Judges, one of whom rose and moved the ¢iecbarge of his client on the ground that no larceny had ‘been proven, aad after elaborate argument by coun. el on both sides, the Court refused to grant the motion. Fhe principal witness for the defence was Mrs. Fanny @wen, who resided at 102 Railroad avenue, Jersey City. ‘The most important fact which she established was, that en one occasion while she was conversing with Miss Ro de e siated to her that, as the Doctor was short of money, she let him bave ber ring to raise some upon it. Gounse! for the defence exhibited a paper to her (which was alleged to be a receipt signed by Miss Roberts) and attempted to prove the genuineness of the signature by Mrs. Owen, but it was shown that her means of know- Jedge on that polut were very slight. Mr. Soogwick sub- @ her to arigid croes-examination. She stated that Ellig was not ber physician, but that she went with Miss Roberts to bie office five or six times; she was sure ‘that sbe went by the name of Owen when she resided in Spruce street, and in answer to the question, “What is your occupation?”’ she replied, ‘I live on my foxtune.”” ‘The case was summed up and given to the jury late in fo afternoon, who, after deliberating for 8 few moments, returned a verdict of guilty. ‘The prisoner was then arraigned atthe bar for sentence, and arcene of the most unprecedented character took hich, it is needless to add, was relished highly by spectators. As no atterap’ was made on the trial to establish the goed character of the accused—a stroke of policy on the part of his counsel—the prosecution had no Fight to enlighten the jury as to the antecedents of the man, lest their minds should be governed by prejudice, wather than by the facts and law applicable to the charge ‘wpon which he was arraigned; but when the verdict was pronounced, a flood of light was poured upon the past life @f the Doctor, showing that he was anotorious rascal. He ‘was asked why sentence should not be pronounced against him, when he replied that he had been forced to trial in the ‘absence of a ‘‘nccessary and material wit- ees,” and that he had no criminal intent whatever. ‘The Recorder and Dr. Ellis then entered into s series of a) explanations of a very delectable character; the Ereretted lookers on stood upon their feet and gazed ‘with wondering countenances at the presiding Judge and prisoner at the bar, and for half an hour they listened ‘with breathless attention to the delectable colloquy. ‘The Recorder informed the Doctor that during the week he bad been circulating stories in reference to his ‘the Recorder’s) and Mr. Wood’s acquain- ip with Miss Roberts, which were en- taiee, Officer Evans, one of the attachés Court, had informed the Recorder that Dr. Ellis fad that this whole thing (meaning the trial) was gotten ‘upfor the purpose of getting him out of the way. ‘Dr. Ellis listened patiently to this pleco of information, ‘and drawing out a formidable document proceeded to read It in the hearing of the speciators. He professed to yaad im it a minute history of bis connection with Miss svis, exhibited his ledger, showing that he kept a bona ‘de account with her, and wound up by saying that Miss Davis bad informed him that she was intimate with his jor Recorder On one occasion (nearly a year ago) she showed hima check for $50 on the Shoe and Leather Bank, which she said was given to her by his Honor; and she further informed him that she re- eeived numerous presents from the Recorder, such as a t and sums of money. ‘The Reooi der replied to Dr. Ellis, by affirming that his former law partner, Mr. Jones, told him that he was her agent for some English , but further than that he hhad no acquaintanceship with Miss Davis. On being informed that it was reported that he (Dr. ‘Eiis) wes a very bad man, he proceeded to romove that sepation by showing three testimonials of his ability and skill in the profession of medicine, which were sigaed by Professors of the Royal College of Sargeons in Ireland in 1942, ope of whom, the prisoner said, was the brother-in- yw of the present Earl of Derby. But where had the Doctor resided since 1842’ Soon after he completed his medical ftudies he went to the Cape of Good Hope to recruit his ‘exbausted physical energics, and emigrated to this coun- wy im 1646, since which time he has resided in Boston, ladelphia, and Canada West. ‘The Court resd a letter which was sent to the District Attorney by a resident of Philadelphia, who said that Ellis had carried on his nefarious Layosuron oe ecngra in Beve- ral large cities; that by his genteel address, suavity of manner, and good natural abilitics, he had ingratiated Bimeelf into the good will of the fair sex, and whenever Ihe got a chance to marry a ricb gir! (for be had a penchant for such), he would marry her with as much expedition ae possible. course the Doctor pronounce | it, in his own language, a tissue of falschoods;”’ adding, the letter has no signa: ture—had no stamp of authenticity; and when it was iati- mated that it was written by ox. Mayor Smita, he ridiculed he idea that his personal friend would pen euch an epis- fic. Another letter was read from a clergyman in Dram. mondeville, Canada West, who gave Doctor Ellis a very bad character; and among other charges made against him, the reverend gentleman meationed the fact of his @bandoning a very interesting lady whom he married in the vicinity of Boston before he went to Canada, since which time sbe bas been living in his house in the capaci- ty of a housekeeper. ‘The prisoner admitted that he was married to the lady wm question, but remarked that they were legally sepa- vated. Sinee hie arrival in this city he has been, according to his own story, practicing his profession, but was also con- nected witha mining speculation, which proved to be a failure;and thus, when arrested on this charge of larceny, Ibis finances being exhausted, he could not furnish ball ‘and was unceremoniously thrust into prison. He ssid ‘that the parties who were instrumental in procuring his arrest sold his horse and vehicle, together with furniture ‘and a valuable library; and Miss Davis had reported that she would use all ber influence with Recorder d to wecure his conviction. When that report came to the Doctor’s ears be petitioned Judge Ingraham for the re- moval of tne trial to the Court of Oyer and Terminer, as be was afraid he could not have a fair trial in the Gene- yal Sessions, before the Recorder. The Recorder, in passing sentence, made some ver ‘wutbful remarks in reference to the manner ia whicl ges of criminal courts should conduct themscives in community, observing that whenever a public officer rendered himecif culpable in the eyes of the community the public ought to know it a! the earliest possible mo- ment. In the event of the trial of Ellis being before Judge Russell, he (the Recorder) intended to be present ‘ag a witness for the purpore of protecting himeelf against any imputation which might be made against bim. ‘sentenced Dr. Filis to imprisonment in the State pri- som at bard labor for three years and six months.

Defeat of the Government Troops at St. Inct—Death of Zamora and his Loss to the Cause of Revolution—The Disunton of Parties and Irrepressible Conflict—Com munism, Fouricrism and Negroism United Against Law, Property and Life—A Man of Energy Wanted to Rule the Factious and Turbulent, dev ‘You are probably by this time aware that the consti- tutional army was entirely defeated by the rebels in a town of the province of Barinas called St. Ines. Indeed, the blow has been severe enough to call the government to their senses, and awaken them from their dreams of invulnerability. Their best troops cut to pieces, their bravest chieftains killed or wounded, their materiel of ‘war captured, and their military positions surrendered to the mercy of the conquerors—the situation is anything ‘but flattering to Vice President Tovar and his ministers, who have clung to a ghost they call the constitution, while their fellow citizens have been massacred in cold blood or killed by wholesale on the battle field. As if to counterbalance such terrible news for the con- stitutional party, it is generally stated that the rebels have Jost their best warrior at San Carlos—a place which he Derciged subsequently to the victory of St. Ines, and which was taken by his army, after a seyoro struggle of seven days. Zamora was in fact the soul of the revolution; he was ablo to toy with all the well xnown generals of ‘the go- yernment, and since last July none of them could dis- lodge him from his positions. Ramos and Rubin were the last to attempt it, and bistory tells mournful tales of their temerity. Now that General Falcon is the principal ana the revolution, hopes brighten for the constitu- tonalists. But cué bono? You find in this most unfortunate and beautifal country the proprietors on the one hand aad the revolutionaries, that is, the negrocs and penniless whites, on the other. The latter are inviled to help themecives to the farms, houses and money of the former, with an extra Mabometlike inducement, in the shape of pretty reporitas, whose pergons are the last, but i the least, fascinating portion of the spoils. Brigham | Young could tremble of joy. In such a savage struggle, communism, Fouricrism, and all the doctrines of the European and American schools, are profurcly and Unreatrictedly spurring on the contest. But the true cause of all is antagonism cf races. No boy, if he had a white face, was ever spared by the lance of the Gotilloes and bis horsemen; no girl, in the conquest of atown, could recall other than a dream of horrors and shame, when escaped from the grasp of these Tousraints or satanic ravishers. ‘The imminence of the danger a. inspired the citiwens of Caracas, Valencia, &c., to offer their purses and lives in defence of their homes and familics. The foreigners also—and that is the most significant omen—have organized themeelives into a rifle regiment, commanded by their own officers, to do their best for Mf protection. fe don’t discuss now who can be the best or the least bad of the national chiefs, nor are battles fought for politi- cal —_ The question is, ‘‘To be or not to be’” and to that every one must respond. So you see the people gather around the government with all and every neceseary supply; and, for the first time since the War of Independence, initiative measures are taken by the selfish men of wealth, without apy on the part of the authorities. ‘We can bave soldiers by thousands, but have no arms. A commisioner from Caracas went to St. Thomas to buy whatever he could find in that war store of Venezuela. Had Mr. Law directed his attention to this far South, he could have realized a handsome sum of money with his ever famous 100,000 muskets.

Will General Paez renounce his Fifth avenue comforts to take the matter in hand?

But the expansion should go no fur ther. Atthe present season of the year, and with the present prospects of trade, $125 ,000,000 of bank loans are too much. Notwithstanding the specie gain which the banks will derive from the redemp- tion of the overdue Post Office certificates, the pre- sent discount line is quite high enough, and cannot be increased without risk. Inevitable trouble will grow out of the over importations of dry goods last fall and this spring; and that trouble will be greatly increased if the banks, in order to protect themselves, are compelled to contract faster than merchants can make ready for the change of policy. Every additional million $800,402 ~ e0lez2 + 1,864,185 that is loaned out now will involve an increased pressure this fall, at the very time that merchants “) are most in need of bank facilities. We presume that the bullion reserve will now rapidly run up to twenty-five millions. Money is, if anything, rather easier to-day, espe cially on call loans, which are in excess of the de- mand at six per cent. Some paper has also been done below six anda half. The Sub-Treasurer has not yet begun to disburse anything under the Post Office Deficiency act, but he has advices of a draft of $3,500,000 in favor of the Post Office Depart ment, which will probably be, here to-morrow. Drafts from that department in favor of its creditors are now daily expected. The foreign exchange market opens with more steadiness. The principal bankers are asking 109a 109} for sixty days sterling bills, and 109} .a j for short sight; francs are offered at 5.15 a 5.17} for 60 days, and 6.124 a 133 for shortsight. The prospect is fair for a permanent advance in bills—such as we have a right to expect at this season; but thus far the demand continues moderate, and the supply or cotton bills larger than usual at this season. The stock market opened with great firmness this morning; but the demand for stock was not equal to the supply at the highest prices of the day, and the market gave way for a time; it subsequent- ly recovered its tone, and closed with firmness. Pacific Mail continues to attract especial attention, and the merits of the settlement are eagerly discussed on the street. The stock opened at 94 cash, was freely offered at that price, declined to 93 at the close of the morning session, and closed in the afternoon at that price, against 91} bid on Saturday evening. New York Central opencd at 72, declined to 713, rallied and closed at 72}, against 71} at the close onSaturday. The advices from Albany to-day are favorable to the passage of the Tolls bill, even in its present shape® but un- favorable to the chances of pro ra‘a. It is inti- mated that Governor Morganisa little ashamed of having allowed himself to be made such a tool by the country politicians, and that he would, if he could consistently, retreat from the absurd posi- tion taken in his last message in favor of taxing traffic. It is doubtful whether any retrograde step would retrieve the tharacter he threw away by consenting, against his judgment, to become the mouthpiece of the petty rural politicians. The Western stocks were generally a shade higher, but inactive. The business of the Board was moderate; the orlers for State stocks and good bonds were, as ustal on Monday, few in number.
