The capital itself is exceedingly dull at prescul, although both the Emperor and the press are “at home,” and for a week past here have been great festivities at the palace, The Emperor, after spending a few weeks very agreo- bly in visiting sovéral of the interior Provincés of his government, has at length returned to the capital, ‘where he now may be daily seen as he rides in and out from his suburban residence at Chapultepec. He looks fexceedingly well, and, judging by his appearance, he aust quiey very good health, though it is said that this is far from being the case. THE SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF THE EMPIRE ‘was celebrated here with some enthusiasm on tho 10th inst. This was the day; you will remember, on which, in 1863, 9 body of irresponsible people, calling them- ®elyes the ‘Assembly of Notables,’’ assembled in the ‘City of Mexico, and deliberately yoted that the republic was at an end, and that an empire and emperor were eedod for the welfare of the Mexican people. At the @ame session of these two hundred notable citizens it ‘was resolved that the Archduke Maximilian should be invited to accept the imperial crown, and commissioners. ‘were a! once designated to proceed to Europe to wait on. the Austrian prince. It was the anniversary of this “event that was celebrated yesterday with pomp and cere- ony, the great bells of the old cathedral ringing out ‘thoir festive peals, But what the great body of Mexicans thave obtained from the.change of rulers to justify their Tejoicing on cach return of the anniversary of the empire ix more than I can see. Possibly, there are great benofits in store for them; but, as yet, they have @carcely begun to be developed. HIS MAJESTY'S BIRTHDAY ‘was celebrated with a good deal of show and magnifi- ence on the 6th instant, when, I believe he entered into is thirty-third year. He did not appear at all in the Coremonies, her Majesty the Empress acting as his substitute, and receiving all the honors of the occasion. ‘Pho celebration began wlth a grand service at the Cathe- dral in the morning, when the Archbishop of Mexico said high mass, the Empress proceeding to church in an open carriage, surrounded by her guards palatine, hussars, Zouayes on foot, and an immense host of civil and politi- cal functionaries. After mass there was a review of sol- diors aud a grand reception at the palace. AT ONE O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON the Emperor in person inaugurated a new academy of ecience at the palace. His Majesty was dressed in a plain suit of black, aud wore on his breast the grand Order of the Mexican Eagle. ‘The Empress, who accompanied him, ‘Was also vory simply dressed in a robe of blue satin, Mounted with gold. In presenting to Mr. Ramirez—the tho Pronideut of the new association—the chain of gold ‘and distinctive badge of his olfice, the Emperor made some very appropriate remarks. He said that his dear ountry had confided to him the noble task of working for hor, and he would work for her with all his heart and all his soul. Among the most interesting duties which devoived upon him was that of searching for ani developing the innumerable mehes with which God hai biessed this beautiful land, His government, he said, would do everything in its power for the exten- gion of agricuicure ina country so fruitful that it pro- ducos everything wh.ch the vegetable kingdom places at the service of man, by encouraging emigration and the formation of new means of communication between Moxico and other countries of the world. There was evother (reasure, he said, possessed by Mexico—that was Adntelligence.—the divine ray that lights up the whole ‘Universe. His great desire was to unite his countrymen, Or at leas! such of them as were given to the sciences, 4m a permayent and durable society, go as to stimulate all others to give their attention to scientific pursuits and the higher order of intellectual studies, He alluded to the past history of Mexico, and to the light which the reat Humboldt had thrown upon many of its traditions. ‘The Mexican people formed a population among the lent and illustrious of the globe, The pyramids uuacan, the gigantic ruins of Itxmal, the ad- ndar at present in the capital, and the few manseripis left us by a blind fanaticism, show that there wore days of triumph for the arts and sciences in this beautiful country; that there were geniuses among der p-ople, giving birth ta, works that wero even greater an those of the Old World herself. On concluding bis veh he transferred to the President the decree consti- futing the society. Mr. Ramirez replied in a lengthy nd- dross, evincing deep study and much scientific know- Jedgo. The proceedings were terminated by # grand Danquet at the palace, and at night the plaza was tilumi- nated and fireworks were discharged. BALL IN THR PALACE, Last night there was a grand ball in the Palace in honor of his Majesty’s birthday and of the second anni ‘versary of the empire. But, notwithstanding all these ‘Dalls, parties, colebrations, specches, and what not, it is very casy to seo that there is no stability felt anywhere, Bnd that people are looking out for some great orisia to eet in TRAVEL ON THE PUBLIC ROADS ds now nearly as unsafe as it was at any time under the Buerilia governments that ruled the country, It is as. ‘tonishing that, with all the French, Austrians and Bel- @ians here, that the main highways ef communication cannot be made safe to the travelling public. It is true ‘that the line from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico is not now nearly so dangerous to strangers as it used to be; ‘Yet thers is nv positive security that travellers leaving the seacoust will ever reach their destination in safety. ‘Within the past three or four weeks the diligences on this lino have been robbed several times and the passengers ‘put to all kinds of inconvenience, The last case in point is where three coaches were coming up in company, and hing Rio Frio, @ regular miltary station, also notorious «as = = resort «for thieves, @ome dozen robbers or more made a gaily from ‘the woods, and robbed the three coaches of some five ousand dollars. One of the editors of a Peper pub hed in this city was among the victims, having been i to bleed to the extent of eighty dollars, all the ney he had with him at the time. Even here, on the to Tacubaya, within a few miles of the city, and in nelsthie of the Emperor's surburban residence, is most an) on the road, But two or three f ng in on horseback, when he by robbers, severely beaten, his horse and , and himself left ingensible on the road, papers openly state that Ver Cruz is swarming with pockets and vagabonds of every kind, aud yet there ho attempt tm to arrest them and have justice ad. inate ed. In the meautime murders. seizures of tho NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 26, 1865. Person and assassinations are the order of the day. Some of the canes presented to public notice appear to be Sitaply iunpossible, so refined oud terrible is the barburity ihéy preeeht. Phhs, for instance, in onewof the mtertor States a resident in the neigiborbood was seized by a tot of robbers, and word to his brother that he would be held in custody until the som of five hundred dollars had Leen paid down. The brother of the man who. had been seized saw how the matter was at once, and therefore set himself t work to raise the money for the release of his kinsman, and after some trouble succeeded in doing so. Ho then repaired to the spot designated by the guerillas td pay the money and release his brother. But .to his horfoy he found that his brother had been already assas- sinated, ‘Trig Juoney was, however, taken from bim, and in order to have {hi Jou Made complete his own bead Wad then cut off, and, asthe PObbéPs sais, sie 28 sent to join his brother in glory. The papers are full of cases or this Kind, and yet Httlo of nothing 18 effectually done to put a stop to them. THE FOURTH OF JULY was ‘clebfated here by American residents ip an order and praiseworthy manner. The United States Consui, resident at the City of Mexico, Mr. Marcus Otterburg, presided over the arrangements, and did everything in is power to make them successful. There were some thirty or forty loyal Americans present, and the banquet took place at a casino some three miles from the city.’ ‘The dining room was gotten up in sumptuous style, and decorated with the Star Spangled Banner and portraits of emment Ameri among them the five first Presidents of the United States, surmounted by that of Abraham Lin- colu, The rain fell very heavily during the evening, but that did not seem to dampen the ardor of the coinpany, every one of whom went in to enjoy themselves aud to take a hand in the celebration of the nation’s birthday. The fact that the birthday of the American nation wast! 4th of July, and that.it was to be soon followed by the birthday of tho Emperor, the 6th of July, soemed to ive additional zest to the occasion, and wine and wit lowed in abundance. The first toast waa given by the Consul—To the memory of Abraham Lincoln, our Marty President. Although ‘was not one of signers of © was a8 dear to us as any who had Tndapgndan’. still © Declaration, for he had sealed it with his blood! Drank in silence, with appropriate music, I may mention that the band that supplied our music was gathered up from among several Austrian regiments, and they made terrible discord of many of the most popular American airs. The other toasts were then drank in order. The President of the United States, andrew Jobyson—the right man in the nght place, Drank with all the honors. The Press of America, led by the New York Heraup. Drank with much enthusiasm. At later period in the evening the guests got rather high, and all kinds of volunteer toasts and songs were offe1 and accepted, ex-Consul Black making himself exceed- ingly popular by chaunting Yankee Doodle to the accom- paniment of the Austrian mixed band. The com) did not disperse until a late hour, and not until everybody had shaken hands several times and_ pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to defend the American eagle against all comers, at least until the next Fourth of yur. a * “ °" AN ALLEGRD CRARY CORMESPONDRNT. About the 10th of June last, a letter appeared in tho Hwrato setting forth that a Mr. George Walcott, of the English house of Bowers & Co., hed” been seized and imprisoned in the city of Mexico by the spies of Maxi- milian, because he had, as an Englishman, thought pro- per to resist the murder of innocent Mexicans—twenty or thirty of whom were daily executed in his presence. For protesting against this brutality Mr. Walcott alleged that he was taken and put in a fortress from the 3d of” January to the 28th of April, with his feet and hands chained to the wall, &c. The Franco-Mexicano, of Vera Cruz, has taken up this question quite boldly, republish- ing Mr. Walcott’s card and commenting quite severely on it. It says that the whole statement of Walcott would Dayg heen yory flne and perfectly correct, if it was not entirely fais from beginning to end. In the first place, it gays, Mr. Walcott never saw the executions of which he speaks. And again, if he had been in prison in Mexico, it was becauge he was mad—outrageously mad, and it was necossary to seizo upon his person in the pub- lic interest. Ihave made some inquiries into this mat- ter, and find that the statements of the Francu-Mericano are substantially correct. There was a Mr. Walcott at work in this city on the gas company’s premises as en- Ais are rR ~ gineer, and he. was progressing very favorably with his work, when unfortunately he boosts in- sane and had to be put into the madhouse, ashort way from the city. The Emperor's government had nothing more to do with him than it would have had in any other case of insanity; and, when it was con- sidered safe, Walcott was sent to Vera Cruz, to be there embarked on an English steamer. The captain of the vessel, however, fin the deranged condition of his passencer, refused to'take him on board, and poor Wal- cott had to go on shore again; and it wag not until an American vessel wag.ready to suil that he got an oppor- tunity wo leave the shores of Mexico. While in Vera Cruz the police found it necessary to seize him and put jhim in the hospital for the public safety. Ot course, I am hot aware how Mr, Walcott sent his communication to the Hrratp, nor te motives by which he wasinilu. enced, any more than as 1 hear them stated here. In stating that he was imprisoned by the spies of Maximil- jan he actually believed that he was asserting a fact, and, even mad as he was, héknew woll that there was no way to make the matter more public than by sending it to the New York Haraup. The Mexican papers, how- ever, do not regard the matter in th’s light. They look upon the publication of the statement of Mr. Walcott as an attempt to prejudice the causa of the empire in the eyes of the world, and give the New Yorx Heranp the fullest credit for being the prime agent in the work of ane to overthrow Maximilian’s crown and preten- jons, THK EMPRESS CARLOTTA AN AUTHORESS, Some of the papers here have published a statement from the Indspendence Belge to the effect that the Em- press Carlotta has just published a small work of six Pages entitled, “The Plain of San Lazaro and the Camp of Cuajimalpa."’ Of this little work, descriptive of Mexican scenery, only fifty copies have, it is said, been priuted for private circulation. So here we have another crowned head coming out in the field of literature. THE TROURLES ON THE NORTHERN FRONTIER, There is considerable excitement here in military cir- cles concerning the riotous proceedings of some ex- rebel soldiers and some of the roving bands of Cor- tina’s guerillas on the northern frontier of the empire, and some people are even afraid that circumstances may arise that may lead to diificulty between the im- periat government and the forces of the United States, According to the latest letters from Mon- terey a number of stores were sacked and destroyed in San Antonio Bexar, the loss falling on Spanish resi- dents of the place. A train of cara belonging to Colonel Quiraga, which was on its way from Texas to Piedras Negras, was attacked on the Texan territory with a loas of eight wagoners, six of whom were killed, and one hundred and sixty bales of cotton which were on the wagons were reduced to ashes. All the cotton which leayes Toxas for the Mexican frontier is, it is “oer bn oer and destroyed, and most frequently by the federals. In consequence of the disorder in Texas a number of merchants are abandonin, their interests and business, and were making the best of their way to Matamoros and Montoroy to save their lives, It is terrible to retlect on tho state of anarchy that prevails. From San Antonio Bexar to Piedras Negras more than sixty persons have been assassinated on the highway. Among these we find the name of Don Ra- mon Larrache, a merchant of great wealth of the city of san Luis, who, in company with three other persona, fell into the hands of Cortina’s guerillas between Texas and Rancho Daas, They were all murdered with the exception of Larrache’s clerk, who escaped by hiding in the mountains three days and three nights. It is only natural to expect an increase in these frightful occur. rences iv 4 region which is now given up to a) kinds of excesses and depredations. MOVEMENTS OF THE A There are not many military quence to be recorded. The incipal features of mili- tary service have been observable in Michoacan of late, On the 2ist of Jane a number of liberals, amounting to some 3,000 meu, seized upon the village of Urua- pan, which was defended by a Mexican } son of some two hundred men. They shot the under prefect and the commander of the ae but did not remain very long in the town. On the 22d, at midnight, the liberals received notice that a French column, com- tmanded by Colonel Chichaut, was approaching the place. Without waiting to know whether this was so or not, the liberals at once evacuated the town ana moved upon Taretan. It was here that the French came up with the celebrated guerilla chieftain Pueblita, who had escs from his command and got into a house to hide himself. Ho was dragged out into the open air, without his cloth. ing, and immediately shot, to death, on the same spot where, « few days before, tris followers had shot the de- fenders of Uruapan, Lem Raz and Gutierrez, The campaign inaugurated in’ Bichoscan by the defeat and death of Pueblita is to be pressed along very vigorously. No sooner possessed of Uruapan than Colonel Chirchaut moved hia forces upon Taretan. Arrived there, he will divide his forces into two columns, and march by the route of Urecho and Tacanbaro. We may look out for interosting newa from this district, as the officers in command there are active men, and will lose no oppor- tunity to bring the enemy to a sense of his position. APYAIRS IN TABANCO, A naval and military expedition was recently sent against the liberal forces that were ene in this Mate, and the results have been most ring to the imperial arms. [po the meantime the Indians had raised en masse against the Juarist forces, and several collisions have taken place. ents of conse. Chihuahua. OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE. We have received lettors and correspondence from the city of Chihuahva up to the 10th of June, All was pro- gressing favorably for the liberal cause. The French forces had not entered the State of Chihuahua, and the governiment remained entirely undisturbed at the capital of that name, It appears the French forces have more than they can attend to in regions much nearer to the city of Mexico. We translate from the Diario Oficial of the 20th of May the following interesting letter from the Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs:— Derantnent or Forman Re.arions | Axo or Government, National PaLace, Cmmosuoa, May 17 1866, The citizen President of the republic has seen with leasure what you have communicated in your note No. (87, of the 4th of April of this year, with reference to the demonstrations of public rejoicing which took place in Washington upon the reception of the news of oceu- Pation of Petersburg and of Richmond by the troops of the Union The allusions of the Hon. Mr. Johnson, who at that time only had the character of Vice President of the Vnited States, and of the Hon. Mr. Seward, demonstrate that in that country the intrigues and the acts by which Napoleon tas sought to mjure the United States during its civil war have not boen lost sight of. Napoleon bas offended the people of the South by not favoring them, from fear of an open rupture of the government of the y ©: A and wished; rly showing, so far ag that fear would let him, low much he desired their downfall and the permanent destruction of the Union Without doubt the terins of Napoleon's letter to General Forey bave also been remembered, In wh without tact or provision, he stated that (ho principal obicct of the intervention in Mexico wos to oppose the United States and to raise up against it tiv Takiateas, as if twas possible to clevate a race by secking to humiliate and degrade one of its members and foment forgetfulness of ali of tts sentiments of tational dignity. In. order to, avert the effects of that stupid lack of foresight, the French Senate bas soug! recently to regord, in its answer (o the address on the opening of the sessions, that the intervention in Mexico has not had any object in the an tagonism of races, the Senate thus pretending to deny “the express terms of the letter of Nay leon. In the allusions o¥ Mr. Seward to the prudence of the Emperor of Austria, who has taken care to make known that he has no syinpathy with rebellion anywhere, he essuredly had reference to what was manifested to ‘his forermiment ge reference to the civil war in the United tates, and afso to what the government of the republic Rs Teagon to know was communicated to that of the nited States at the beginning of last year with reference to the arrival of Maximilian in Moxico, explaining that it was his own personal aflair, in which the government of the Emperor, his brother, had no part whatever. This Was an act of prudence on the part of that sovereign, and at the same time of dignity; for he did not wish to take part in the unworthy enterprise of the Archduke, his rother, who consented to come to Mexico to represent there the humble position of the simple instrument of a foreign government, and, in addition, the instrument of 4 government which had just, in Lombardy, been the means of conquering and humiliating his country and his family; who consented also, at the call of a few Mexican traitors to their country, and reserving, in his turn, to deceive them and to prove false to them, when after a little he should be ordered by the French govern: ment. I renew to you my attentive consideration. Zi LERDO DE TEJADA. Citizon Matias Romeao, Envoy Extraordinary and Min- {ster Plenipotentiary of the Mexican Republic in Wash- ington, OUR RETURNING VETERANS. THE ONE HUNDRED, AND SECOND NEW YORK—THEY ARE REVIEWED BY GENERAL HOOKER, ETC. This regiment, which has been expected home for the past week, arrived:at Jersey City at an early hour yester- day morning. They were met by Colonel Colyer, of the Soldiers’ Depot, and station agent Devoy, also attached to that institution, who welcomed them on behalf of the State. Robertson’s band was also at the ferry and ac- companied the regiment on its march up Broadway to the Depot, where the officers were entertained with a sumptuous dinner furnished by Colonel Colyer, In the afternoon the One Hundred and Second marched down Broadway on their way to Hart’ land. The men were —— with refreshments at the Centre Market On reaching the Astor House they were halted; and General ‘Hooker, ig company witht Brigadier General Barnum (who formerly commanded the brigade to which the regiment wa8 attached), appeared on the steps. The soldiers cheered him repeatedly, waving their hats in the air and showing various other tokens of their appro- bation. General Hooker took off his bat and spoke to the regiment. He was glad to see m back to thei? iivines Gnct mdf, He believed i was that comfnand which dubbed him “Uncle.” In time of war they had given him ¢ a and he now wished to hold it in time of peace. Wished to Invite Fag to the next fight. If there were yet any enemies of tho federal authority he was certain the One Hundred and Second New York would notfremain idle. (Cheers.) After again welcoming the soldiers back to their homes, General Hookér concluded, amid loud cheering. A large crowd had assembled opposite the Astor House at this time. While the troops were filing off General Hooker turned toGeneral Barnum, who stood on his right, and re- marked aloud—‘There is a man who has been shot to pieces in command of some of those men.”’ This re- mark was the signal for renewed cheers in honor of General Barnum. At five o'clock the troops left on board a boat for Hart’s Island, A history of the regiment’s operations in the fleld has already been published. The following is a list of officers:— Field and Staf.—Harvey 8. Chatfield, Colonel; Oscar J. Spaulding, Lieutenant Colonel; Robert H. Wilbur, Major; Charles H. Burbeck, Surgeon; Edwin P.

ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE OF GENERAL GRANT. At six o'clock yesterday morning General Grant and Indy, together with three officers of his staff, and two lady companions, arrived in Jersey City. The party are on their way to Niagara Fails, with the intention of taking a trip on the lakes, Tho Albany day boat which leaves the foot of Desbrosses street at seven o'clock each morning received the enn gre party on board. They had scarcely time to catch this boat, No incident of any description occurred in the transfer from Jersey City to the foot of Desbrosses atreet, as none were aware at the time that the Lieutenant General was passing through the city. The Lager Beer Question. MEETING OF BEEK DEALERS IN BLOOMINODALE. Aa already stated, the keepers of the German lager ‘beer inns are about getting up & combination against the beer brewers for the purpose of reducing the exorbitant price which the lager beer brewers charge for their stuff; this price being kept up by a constant combination of the beer brewers ; and it seems that the stock on hand is being constantly reduced by the exportation of lager beer to the Southern States—to Richmond, Charleston and othor cities of the South. A plan has therefore been formed by some of the lager beer innkeepers to establish brew- eries by themselves on shares, for the purpose of pro- ducing suMicient lager beer of better quality for the homo epnsumption at a certain reduced price. The price for lager beer, in consequence of the rapid decrease of the stock on hand by importation, haa been increased of late to sixteen and eighteen dollars per barrel. Yesterday a meeting of the lager beer innkeepers was held at No. 316 West Thirty-sixth street, which was largely attended The meeting was organized under the presidency of Mr. John Seip. of Seventh avenuo; Mr, Augost Kroher acted as secretary, and as treasurer Mr. N. Treuleben was appointed. r the discussion of the stbject in various ways, from which it aj that several preliminary meetings have been held previously the inamocper® oe Finzel, of Canal wan wocpiln ot fe Th ne nena a stock company, with a ol about two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, for the ee te of independent brewerles, to produce bet- ter 9 at a reduced price. The hap of the Inger innkeepers would thus be profitably invested, and the public would be the gainer by it. This proposition waa received with great favor, The chairman, ver, thought the carrying out of this plan would meet with many difficulties, ang he muggested that an organization of the tonkeepers should effected, to procure beer im i Western States — from er ia. . ir. KReHER, among others, suggested a suspension of the sale of Inger bear for nome weeks, in order to bring the brewers to term®, and so destroy their monopoly. In such a measure, it was thought, they would be supported by the general public, Various other similar measures were suggested, among others the substitution of ale for lager beer for a while, which can be had for eight dollars and a half per barrel. Mr, Buacn stated that there are numerous brewers on the Hudson river, at Rondout, Newburg, and other places, who would be willing to furnish beer at suitable terme, if certain arrangements were made with these brewers. A great deal was said of the endeavors of the beer brewers to create @ nent beer monopoly, and to make slaves and menials of the German Innkeepers. Mr. Havxn offered a resolution to the effect that a call should be issued requesting the heer brewers in the inte rior to furnish lager beer at certain rates, (Somethin, was said about the browers, that they do not give a full measure, and that they ought to be compelled by law to furnish full barrels.) Mr. Hamayn remarked that the German innkeepers have to contend with a powerful monopoly, and even by the public—by the laborers—they were treated ina contemptible manner, and he proposed measures to secure the sympathy of the fonern! public. A resolution was passed to this etfect. (From some remarks made by Mr. Homann it appears that the stuff which the brewers furnished now at the rate of fi or more per barrel, is produce more than six dolinrs and eghty-thres cents per barrel Afesolution was then passed to the eff meeting of the innkeepers and the public on Friday, at two o'clock in the afternoon, for the pur. pose of taking further measures, and to take sume action ia reference Lo the vroDoyitions su burithed, THE PETROLEUM CASE.

Outside the read- ing the case in tho Herauy there is evidently no in- terest whatever felt in it, and counsel should endeavor to bring it toaclose as soon as possible, There are many in this city who feel that they are even in worse positions than Mr. Kellogg—many whose hard savings have been taken from them under pretences that profit only would accrue from their investments, and no action, NO prosecution whatever will arise therefrom, although the whole thing under which they were induced to speculate was a delusion and a snare.

It was noticed at lepgth, after numerous com- plaints, that after Ellen had visited any part of the house some. article was missing. This became so frequent an occurrence that despite the girl’s genteel and honest appearance, suspicion was aroused, and on Saturday last detective Perry, attached to the Fifth Avenue Hotel, accosted her as she was leaving the hotel with the inevitable bandbox, and asked her what she had init, The girl, with a sweet smile, told him it was alady’s hat. The officer, being somewhat of a ladies’ Tan, expressed a, desire to see a bonnet of the latest style, and as Ellen represented a very fashionable estab- lishment, no doubt the bonnet she had in the box must be something recherché. Thergirl very prettily requested to be excused, as she would be late at the store. How- ever, by a little foree the officer got a p into the box, where, instead of a fashionable covering for a female's head, he beheld a pair of fashionable coverings for a male's feet.

The old residents of Long Island living in the neigh- borbood of Gravesend will remember Jaques J. Stilwell, father of the Supervisor of that town, who died suddenly about two weeks since, Mr. Stilwell was the owner of valuable landed property on the island, and was looked upon as one of the solid men of his neighborhood. He was nearly sevonty years old at the time of his death, and some time previous torthat event he married a ve handsome young woman, much against the will of his Haan Before he married her be made a will bequeath - ing his property to his children, which will was made, it Appears, without the knowledge of his last wife. Imme dlnely after the death of Mr. Stilwell his wife, who, for the first time, discovered that a previous, will had been made, went to the coroner and communicated her sus- picions that her husband had been foully dealt with. She made an affidavit setting forth that she had good reason to believe that Mr. Stilwell was poisoned, and requested that the body be examined and a post mortem examina- tion held to ascertain the cause of death. Some private testimony was taken before the coroner, and the doctor who attended him in bis last illness stated that he died of disease of the kidneys and liver. The coroner refused to exhume the body THR NAVY YARD FRAUDS—TESTIMONT OF GINEER DE LUCE AND MR. VAN DORAN. The examination in the case of the two alleged de- faulting bosses of the Brooklyn Navy Yard was re- sumed before Commissioner Newton at ten o'clock yes- terday morning. Edwin 8S. De Luce, Chief Engineer in the United States Navy, was the first witness examined. He testified that he took bis position as engineer in the yard in June, 1863, but was at present on leave of absence; the attention of Commodore Radford was called to a bookcase which was iu the upper part of the pattern shop; the Commodore issued an order to the witness to search for the case, and if he found such a thing to seize it; on examination he found the bookcase stowed away behind a lot of patterns, in four parts, each part boxed up in close hoxes of pine board; he took the caso and bad it removed to au office in the yard, and, after two ths, during which time an investigation was had in the matter, the bookcase was delivered to Mr, Jennings, the master cooper, in whose office it still re- mains. The witness stated that he permitted a black waluut bookcase or desk to be made for the office of Mr. Yan Doran, the chief draughtsman of the yard, and that two plain desks of pine or oak had been made by his per- mission for other departments. This would account for the four bookcases that the accused are charged with having manufactured for private parties; but he swore that no orders or permission had been given to make two mahogany bookcase’ Mr. Van Doran, who has held the position of chief draughtsman since 1857, testified that the bookcase in his office was of mahogany, and that the order to make it had been given by Chief Engineer Garvin in May or June, 1862, and that it was finished and set up in the office within three months after the order to make it had been given, which was nearly one year before De Luce, the former witnoas, had been assigned to the position of chief engineer of the yard Mr. Van Doran's testimony conflicted very materially with that given by Mr. De Lnce, both as regards the tna- terial of which this bookcase is made and also in rela tion to the time when the order was given and by whotn the order was given. Van Doran testified positively that the order was given by Engineer Garvin in 1962, while De Luce was equally certain that he gave the order in 1868. At the conclusion of Mr. Van Doran‘s testimony the examination was adjourned till this morning, at which time the District Attorney stated that he would close the case for the prosecution.
