A party Sent out some weeks since by certain New York capitalists, in charge of Judge Waters of Texas, and accompanied by Professor Shepherd, the celebrated mM. neralogist and geologist, for the purpose of exploring certain wining lands in the interior of Mexico, has reached thik piace on its return. The expedition was accompanied by an American officer of rank and intelligence, whose report I have ben per- mitted to read, and {rom which | obtained the toliowing items of interest :— The purty were travelling during the months of Octo- ber and November in the States of Tamaulipas, Nueva Leon and Coahuila, In the towns of Mier, Guerrero, Vallecillo, Lampazos, Candela, Salinas, Moncloy, and many otbers of less size and importance, the people acknowledged the Juarez government. In Villaldama the Prefet obligingly oifered passports by authority of either government, as the ap- plicant might wish. The same thmg transpired in eeve- ral other 8, ‘The officer was politely received by General Jeannin- gros, in Mopterey, who, however, anxiously inquired if he was a member of the Engineer Corps. ‘T FRENCH TROOPS left Monterey about the Ist of November, reaching Sal- ulloon the 6th. Four hundred native troops were lett in the city, The French commandant gives as a reason for his withdrawal the unhealthiness of the place; whieb, going on to San J.uis Potosi, that they had too few troops to hold so large an extentof country, aud that threatened insurrections in the vicinity of the city of Mexico ren- dered concentration necessary. ‘fhe sale of large quantities of supplissin Monterey, which would bat necessary for the nance of | the — ad 4hey remained in Saltillo, rendered this phgsique of the troops which were @ben in Monte- $s, ilfe and op-the march, was not equal to the U; soidiers, The oe 6 , up of ceedingly poor horsemen, and “4 The was of armed whet ee arfned with beary rigee as near the yo mareb, Ul imperial cave ever pursul them the roads into the chaparral, if ne 2 YORCED LOANS. Before \eaving Monterey the French commander had made Sorwed loans in violation of the secree of Maxi- milian, and on November 8 the Mexican imperial com- wander made anoilier assessment on the merchants for money, men and horses to defend the city against the liberals. Some Awericans and others protested against this, but were informed that they must comply with the demand or go to jail. Drafis on the city of Mexico for previons loans had been dishonored. THE FRENCH ADMINISTRATION of affairs about Monterey had been very tyrannical, and the people everywhere were mure dissatisfied with the empire than they bad previousty been with the republic, complaints were made of outrages committed on tizene by the Frencb oificers, particularly by Ameri- cans and other foreiguert. Instances of public flogging of citizens by Jeauningros bimself were related by re- liable parties, P ‘The officers, with their orderlies aud servante, were qnartered with the wealthy families, using their rooms, furniture and provisions ‘at pleasure. The troops were quartered iti houses from most of which the families had been ejected On the march from Monterey to Saltillo women and ebildren were turned from their houses ia cold weather that the soldiers might occupy them. All property seu for public nee is paid for at such prices as the commanding officer may allow, or not constantly contrasting the course of hat of the Americans in 1847, much to ter. ‘THE ROADS through the country travelled are nataral, avd for the most part good, A scarcity of water is, however, a serious difficulty In the way of travel or of military operations. Much of thie might be overcome by ariesian wells, Generally speaking obtained at a depth of from thirty to sixty feet in lime- stone rock, and Jarge tracts of land, now useless, might be cultivated by the aid of irrigation th In case of military operations within the States mentioned, all supplies except fresh meat must necessarily be from the line of the Rio Grande. A railroad from the river to Monterey would be advisable in such case, To build such a road yoy heavy grading would be required.+ The eat nity would be in procuring ties, there being littic timber growing near except palmetto, which is too soft for such purpose.

A look ahead, a glance of anticipation at the pleasures in store for the future, while those of the moment are passing, will naturally be entertained with éaterest. ‘While in the midst of the preparations for New Year and Christmas, with skating and sleighing, and all the gay and bracing influences of the winter's enjoymentsin fall view, itmay not be altogether amiss.to reear tothe active preparations that have been under way this fall.at some of the summer resorts in anticipation of the next regular season. ‘ ‘The close of the last season at the fashionable water- ing places presented a particular result, which has had a striking influence and will effect a great change for next year. Saratoga, Newport and the otber leading places wore swarmed ‘a crowd so promiscuous that the old fashioned tanc> for botel living in summer was greatly modified in the minds of the best people, and especially among famihes, he dispdsition towards more privacy, if pot of reserve and exclasivenesa, has gsined a decided prevalence, The determinatiop to build ax occupy private cottages, or to frequent such hotels only as are kept with a proper and rigid regard to the convenience of well bred persons an¢ good morals, pas become manifest to such a degree es to present striking results alroady in the extent of the new build- ings and other preparations on foot to accommodate this change of sentiment in regard to the fashionable resorts, ‘The principal development of this nature is witnessed at Long Branch, in the large number of private cottages going up there. But a more important feature is the erection of new hotels, and the extension and improve- ment of several of the old establishments, with a view, more or less, to a better and more discriminating system of keeping them than has prevailed during the war. ‘The leading feature in this connection is the new hotel “Stetson’s,” which is approaching its completion, This tasteiul building is intended to be the tnest summer hotel in the c Its completeness, capacity and elegance will compare with the ordinary watering place accommodations about as a North river steamboat palace does with its second class Located at the “West End’? of the bluff, below and beyond all the other houses at Long Branch, just at the angle of the avenue formed by the junction of the drive to Deal, its situation, surrounded by thirteen acres of grassy Jawn, is the most beautful on all the beach. ‘This new building has two fronts, facing east and south, at right angles to each other, and presents a fagade of six hundred and fifty feet.

THR WALTEKS RAPE CASE—SENTENCE OF THE ‘Dr. Joseph 8 Walters, a practising physician of Brook- yn, was tried and convicted about one week ago, in the Court of Sessions, on the charge of committing rape & young lady named Lucy S Jones. Mr. Millard, Ti counsel endo on appeal to the Court asking for a Of the sentence, on the ground that the act of the ure of last winter in regard to this crime allowed the Conrt, in its discretion, to give the prisoner five years’ imprisonment instead of ton; and also on the ground of his previous character and the respec- tability of his family. Judge Dikeman, in giving the views of the Court, thought that the act referred to had no vearing in the case, and that the statute under which the prisoneris case came made the lowest limit of the punishment ‘ten years, Judge Dikeman then proceeded to pronounce the sen- tence of the Court. He said {addressing the prisoner)— In regard to your case the statute prescribes the lowest punishment at ten years in the State Prison; therefore it js not in the power of the Court, if it would, to mitigate your sentence to a lesser penalty. On the other hand, it is in the power of the Court to send you to prison for life. In pronouncing your sentence we are not going into discussion, but shall merely advert to the heinous- ness of the crime of which you stand convicted. Your offence is of a very high grade. It 1s true you were con- victed upon the testimony of a single witness. You were convicted under circumstances of a peculiar character, In speaking to you we also address others than yourself. You were attending this lady (the com- Plainant) in a confidential relation. We regard your offence of a very high grade. You had illicit and improper intercourse with her while you were attending her in a professional capacity. No one who has listened to the trial entertains a doabt of your guilt sim that Teapest. 5 We find you, a Physician —a noble Pro. fesgion when legitimately practised—taking advantage iat relations, confided. ‘of this w sSying jour loot, white the chasti ‘this Woman, and ir lust, whit tech aa inetitation gedained. bj God Tor the gralit- pores cation of natural instancts, resi ve ina stone’s, where. you perpetrated crime. Aheraforep is considered inexcusable; which the Court is free"to say should subject you toa severe punishment. The jury convicted you of having, fnstead of curing her disease, to abuse her, by persuading her to allow you to have sexual inter- course with her, on the pretence that it was absolutely necessary for her recovery, instead of having prescribed for beras you ought. Although convicted on the testi- mony of 4 éingle wituess—the Court says this for your instruction, and it may seem monstrous, perbaps, that a woman of thirty-one years of uge, with the intelligence that she (the complainant) as she appears’ to have been trained and properly educated, that she could come into court and swear to the facts elicited on the witness’ stand—we fully believe what she stated to be true. This woman is proved to be, though not an imbecile, not one of a strong mind. The proposition on the other side Wo excuse you from the extent of the offence that she willingly gave consent to your wishes does not carry any weight. If she was virtuous up to the time of the commission of the crime the Court cannot believe that ehe would then have willingly prostituted horself to your lust. Taking all these circumstances into consideration, the sentence of the Court is that you be imprisoned in the State Prison at Sing Sing for the term of ten years. ‘The Court subsequently granted a stay of the sentence, pending a review of the case and the making out a writ: te application for a new trial.
