THE ALLEGED PRIVATEER METEOR. Further Hearing of the Case—Continua- tion of the Examination of J. M. Forbes, One of the Owners of Ship. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. ‘The further hearing of this case was resumed yester- day morning before Judge Betts, in the United States District Court, The Hon, D. 8. Dickinson, District At- togney, and Mr. 8. G, Courtney appeared as counsel for the government; Messrs, Webster and Craig, it was understood, represented the Spanish government, and tho claimants, Messrs. Forbes, of Boston, had their case sustained by Mesars. W. M. Evarts and Joseph Choate, EXAMINATION OF J. M. FORRES, Mr. J. M. Forbes deposed in roply to questions by Mr. Dickinson—The regist-r of the ship was taken out under the goneral authority of Carey & Co. ; either by letter or personally I gave directions to either Mr. Carey or the captain to take out the register. To Mr. Evarts—I cannot say when the ship was fin- ished; the ownership was in mo and my brother; we were supreme dictators io all mattors about tho ship; I have been conducting the ship’s business up to this timo; her accounts passed in my books; J. M. Forbes & Co. paid for the engines. ‘lo Mr. Webster—J. M.

Q. Where wero the payments made for the ship? A. Sometimes they were made by Robert Forbes and some- times by J. M. Forbes & Co. ; wo settled the bills when they came due, and afigr that somo of the gentlemen whom I have named paid their proportion; one has not paid at all; Mr, Joromo and Mr. Lowe may have paid proportions, but the account ja still open; it is not Was ther) any agreement. between John M.

Q Can vou say whether you had actual ownership in the vessel? ‘The Court objected. Q. If the vessel had been burned or lost, what would have become of your interest? Witness—It would, of course, have bem burned or lost, Q. Then you had an interest? If the vesse! had been sold what would have been your interost? It would have a p oritt interest, according to the contr bution. ‘To Mr. Evaris—I hod no other internst in the vessel exc pt that arising from the contribution I have stated, Q@ Has the concrol of the vessel by Messrs.

To Mr. Evarts—-' sara, Forbes were to build the ship And have the titte to it, MOTION TO STRIKE OUT THE CT.AIM, Mr. Webster said that they now presented the point that the claimants had not the interest in the vessel that they assumed in court, If the interest in the “. set up by the claim. ant be ins ifiicient to entitle him to that character, and ic he refused to make the required affidavit, it would be subject to preliminary objection, and would be rejected on that ground. Upon the evidence before the court, it was platn that it did not show a sufiicient proprietary iutorest on the part of the claimants to interpose ant object to the seizure of the ship. The motion he had to make was that this claira, on the evidence produced and Fa the issue now trying, should be struc< out, The learned counsel referred to some law authorities in sup- port of his argument, Mr. Evarts replied. Hoe said the facts proved in the clearest manner that R. T. Forbes and J. M.

Extension of the Powers of the Central Park Commissioners, ke ke. ke Aupany, Maroh 27, 1866. BOUNTIES TO VOLUNTHERS, In reply to a resolution of the Senate the Adjutant General sent to that body a communication tn regard to the amount of money necessary to meet the provisions of ‘a bill to equalize the bounty to be paid to volunteers, He says:— Between the 14th of April, 1861, and 17th of July. 1862, no bounties were paid by the ‘state to voluntoors That from and afior the last date’ until the 20th day uf September, 1862, the Siate paid to volunteers oulistiug for ull regiments, up to and including tho One Hun- dred and Fifth, the sum of fifvy dollars each. No boun- tes were paid to volunt ers after the last mentioned dute nor prior to November 2, 1862. All who onlisind subsequent to that date and prior to April, 1864, have ‘been paid or are entitled to bounties undor existing lews to $75 each. No State bornty waa paid between April 1, 1864, and December 19, 1964, but larze Jocal Dount.es were paid, and tho excoss over the Mili ng the Juy call, 1864, has been. reimburaed to locaitties. All men who enlisted in 1861, served two years, and were honorably discharg d, aud who afterwards re-en- listed, were entitiet tos veteran State bo ‘nty of $150. All veterans re-entistin under genoral orders No. 191 0° the War Department were enti'lod to $75 bounty, All men ent sting prior 20 July 17, 1862, wouid be en- titled to receive $75 each under tie bill proposed; all enitstments betweon July 17 and teptember 30, 1862, to £25 cach; alt betweon that date a 18. to $75 oach; and all veterans ro-en‘ising a tr April, 1864, to $75, Upon like rendering it would ail enlistments be'ween April, 1°64, ani Dece 1864, would also be entitled 10 $75 Sia‘e bounty, such recruits actually received local bountes rang ng from $200 to. $1,600, they never having received any State bounties. It, however, the proposed bill designs to give Bonnties to stich \olunizers as have never rocrived any bounty equai to $75 at uny one time, it pres uts a different q. % tion, Tt wouid be a work of extended Inbor to asce.tain who of tie men enlisting in 1861 and 1862 never reen- listed, I think it quite safe to assume that at least 75 percent of all the two years men who enlisted pr or to July, 1862, and served ont the term, re-culisted and re- cvived the veteran bounty. Upon any contruction that can be given to the first section of the bill, it would seem to pro ide for payment tate bounty to ail.mon entisting a'ter Aprii 1, 1864, and prior to December 19, 1864, notwithstandin’s :tey receiv 4 largo local bounties, some part of whch has been reimbursed to localities by the state; and aise all short t rm (militia) volunteers, and upon this under stand ng they are embraged in| my abstract, to which I Te er as containing the required in ormation in detall, Number of inea mustered betwen April 14, 1861, and Joly 17, 1962, exclusive of this months? militia. - tevece 120,281 Number of men mustered betweon July 17, 1862, and September 80, 1832. .........006. 72,008 Numbor of men mustered between Sevtomber 30, 1842, and Novomber 2, 1962... 1,200 Voteran re-enlistinents »fter soe: 1, aoa. 1,800 een April 1 tid, 311 648 126 600 000, 135,000 6,023,325 + 1,640,950 NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.

Sir William Gore 0: Information announces the death of this distingnished English d plomat, at ths advano-d ace of sixty-seven years, Thirty yoars of service in diplomatic capacities on this contin»nt made him famitiar to most Americans, and his career interesting to all, Sir William Gore Ousoley was born in 1799. He was the son of Sir William Gore Ouseley, woil known for bis Oriontal attainments, His narrative of the mission of his brother, Sir F. A. G, Onsoley, to Persia in 1810, and his works on Eastorn antiquities and literature, are a well known mine of Oriental and classical learning. This Baronet Ouseley became very celebrated through the success of this mission, An unole of the late baronet served for many years in India, was professor of Porsian at Hailoybury, and was latterly sorving as interpreter to the Britism authorities at Paris. A cousin, Rev. Sir Frederick Arthur Gore Ouseley, is M. A. and Musical Doctor of Oxford University, being a larze pecuniary, as well as scisntific and literary, contributor to the promo- tion of the art, The mother of the deceased was the grand-daughter of Sir P. E. Irving, Governor General of Canada, ‘The late baronet was educated for the diplomatic ser- vico, and at a very early age became attached to the Stockholm mission, This was in 1817, He became at- tached to the Washington Legation in 1825, where he remained until 1830, He was next appointed acting sec retary of legation at Brussels, during Sir R. Adair’s embassy, and subsequently at Rio Janeiro, at which court he resided for several years as charge d'affaires. In 1844 he was named plenipotentiary at Buenos Ayres, and in 1845 special minister to the States of La Plata. Lord Aberdeen said, in his instructions, ‘‘to open up the great arteries of the South American continent would be not only a vast benefit to the trade of Europe, but a practical, and perhaps the best, security for the preserva- pt of peace in South America.” By his ondeavors to carry, out this polcy, and protecting British subjects, Sir W. G. Ouseley provoked the tvrant Rosas; but bad his reward 1n the applause such conduct earned from all classes, Addresses from the British and French resi- denta at: Montevideo were presented to him when re called by Lord Palmerston; while not less than eight hundred native Montevideans, the éli’e of the commu- nity, tendored thanks for his ‘efforts to preserve the na- tional indepenence. His exert'ons for the promotion of commerce particularly deserve mention, now that what he recommended 3 strongly, a4 to opening the rivers, has beon ratified ta respect to Paragnay, he having, in 1846, sent the late Sir C. Hotham to Assumption to treat with Pres dent Lopez, and projected a commercial leagne between the States of Parag av. Entre Rios and Urugaay, On the accession of the Derby administration Lord Mu'mesbury despatched Sir .
