MEXICO. | The Negrete and Galvez Rebels. The Mexican Press Still Harping on the Herald. Curfous Document Found in the Imper.al Archives. Probable Fete of Negrete=The Tacubnya Murtyre—The Mexican Press and the Her- alu—Constitutional Guarantees. Mexico, April 15—Evening. Montez has just fintshed an eloquent and learned speech in favor of sustaining the concession as grant ed w the Englisi, Mexico and Vera Cruz, by Presi- dem Juarez under the “Ample Faculties.” The Con- greasional Hall was crowded on the occasion, as Mr. Montez ts acknowledged to be one of the leading men of the country. I shall forward to you this speech, which in Spanish is declared to be a master- piece of composition, As an orator Mr. Montez Is scarcely excelled in Mexico, With the exception of Zamacona aud Prieto, the most influential members ef Congress sustain the President and Cabinet in grantiny; the concession. Mr, Lerdo de Tejada is ex- pected to speak upou this important question within a day or two. Most strenuous efforts continue to‘be made on the part of the government to annihilate the revolution- ary band of General Negrete. More troops have been went to the vicinity of his supposed whereabouts, and Gea. ‘loro not having arrived in ample time, Gen. Fraticisco Velez has been put in-supreme command of the pursuing government forces. Negrete’s troups, which were believed a tew days since to number per- haps less than five :pndred men, are said to be in-. creasing liourly, and the capitai is full of rumors of several Mexican officers already known to fame hay- tag gone outto join him. The fate of Negrete, std eaptured, will not admit of a question. The most argent necessity for peace will insure hpis seedy ex- ecution. Rumors of other pronunctam os are not safficiently wuthenticaved to warrant my recording them at present, on the vcvasion of ceremonies at Tacubaya, Rami- tex, Prieto an‘ Alcalde made eloquent remembrances ei the medical stall, murdered there in coid blood by Marquez while performing their professional duties as non-combatants.

NEW YORK CITY. THE COURTS. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT—IN ADMIRALTY Collision on the Hudson. Betore Judge Blatchford. John A, Crareford and Others vs, The Steamboats America and New Haven.—In this case the bel was filed to recover compensation ior injuries and loss sustained by the libellants in a collision which oc- curred on the Hudson river in October, 1865, The circumstances as disclosed in the opening statement of counsel were:—The libellants were engaged in the carrying trade by means of lake or canal boats on the Hudson river in the transportation of goods and merchandise to and from New York to Oswego and Buffa.o, and not having steam or canvas to ul the transit of their boats they employed the of & steamboat to eifect the passage from place to place, ‘The libeltants were the owners of a canal boat called the Contest, which at the time laid in the Mbel was im tue port of New York laden with Mercnandise of a costly character, including sugar, amounting in value to about $10,000; and for the purpose of transporting this valuable cargo to Os- wego and Butlalo they employed the agency of the steamboat New Haven fora stipulated sum.. The Contest was one of about twenty boats which the New Haven .ook in tow from New York, and on the passage and within about two miles of the city of Albany, near West Troy, the steamboat America, on her return trip down the river to New York, and having also a feet of canal or lake boats in tow, came in collision with the Contest, struck uer right amid- ship, thereby breaking eiguteen feet of her plankage and otherwise dog her serious injury and dawag- ing her cargo toa considerabie amount. In conse- quence of the breakage of her timvers by the shock the water rushed in and submerged her cargo, great portions of which were utterly destroyed. It Was charged in the ibel that there was great negligence and ignorance of navigation and other alleged omissions and commissions on the part of those in charge of the steamboat New Haven, to which the Contest was attached in tow, a8 well as on the part of those in charge of the steamboat Ameri- ca, Which came in coliston and struck the blow which caused the injuries and loss, and therefore pleaded that one or both were Hable for the compen- sation demanded. On the part of the steamboat New Haven it was denied that there was any error on her side ana contended for the non-llability of the claim- ants in that branci of the suit, and a similar piea, with some Variation as to detail and technicality, was urged on the part of the Americ Spencer, Hoes and Metealf for the libellants; Beebe, Deat Ge Donohue for the New Haven, ©.

Laura Waldron vs, Caroline Bernard, Sued Under the Name of Caroline Richings.—The Richings Eng- lish opera company closed an unprofitable season of two matinée performances yesterday in the audito- rium of the Marine Court, located on the third story of the brown stoue building in the City Hall Park. Notwithstanding the fact that the room was disad- vantageously located a large audience was present, though it is surmised by (he quidnancs that it was mainly composed of ‘dead heads,” the admission fee ucing iixed at the ivwest possibie iigure—to wit, 0. ‘the piece was not as was expected, “A New Way to Pay Old Debis,” but was an adaptation from th “Statu(tjes of New York’ und ‘fhe Kom Enlaw, revised by the constitutional convention of 1546 aad several subsequent Lexislatures, with finishing touches by a number of tne most eminent Govern ra of the State of New York. The nics of the piece was la.d in the Academy of sehen hiladelphis, und the Boston theatre; time, November and December, 1867, and the thread of the story was strongly suggestive of the exist metjtod of trying to collect “old debts.” The leading réivs were sustained by the favorite Miss Richings and @ new aspirant for oper- atic iaurels—Miss Wa-dron, a recent debutante in the character of Ariine in the opera of the “Bohemian Girl.” The first scene, a3 opened on Thursday, revealed Miss Waldion in tue character of a “suitor,” contesting avith Miss Richings for several billet douz, of which Salmon P. Chase is the repuied author, of a greenish tint, and of tae estimated value of $100. Miss Waldron insisted on priority of claim to the (legal) tender missives, by reason of an “en- moent” made by letter between herself aud Mr. ‘ounoyer, Miss Richings’ business manager, and to which ‘t was tnsisted Miss Richings was @ cousent- ing party, Docunentary evidence of this fact was resented im Miss Richings’ own delicate Cone gl fhe engagement, iiowever, was not prevended by either party to have been for life, and the “for better ior worse’ clause Was not inserted, all parties agreeing on this point that it should be far a brief “season? of some three or four months in var.ous cities, the time to be occupied in presenting to the public a series of en- tertaining operatic characters by Miss Waldron if the “trial” should prove favorable. Miss Richings claimed thai tue “tra.” was not “favorable” in tue peopie’s eyes, and that, therefore, there was no en- ement. ‘Twelve critics sat at one side of the auditorium, GT ppt in arm chairs provided for ta accommodauion by tie county of New York, question being submitted to tucm to determine whe- tuer an engagement hid been entered into or not, A fuli rehearsal of all the tucidents of the affair was presented to ihese gentiewen, Mr. Pennoyer stated that on the occasion of the x pearing in Bosion he nad procured the ibretio Loys of the Bostoa theatre, the usuers and atiachés of the establishinent to give ectut to the uation of Arline by \iss Waidron, these per- Bons (CO assume the characie:s of claquers, and give the “cue” to the refiued Loston audiences when to Applaud the « ecuve puinis by striking tue palins of ther hands and 1 jucing & percussive sound by way of approvation, Tis he aiso siated was dove with the kuowiedge of Miss Waldron’s father, but the latter gentieman flatly dented tue assertion.

THE CITY BANK DEFALCATION. The Rumors Concerning the Recovery of a Large Sum of Money and the Complicity of a Number of the Clerks in the January De- falcation Correct. In yesterday's HERALD was published the exclusive intelligence of a new and startling development in a mysterious bank defaication, by which the City Bank, 62 Wall street, was made loser some time ago to the extent of avery large amount. It will be remem- bered that on the morning of the 15th of January last Wall street, and particularly that financial portion of Mammondom which had moneyed interests in the welfare of the City Bank, was thrown into a frenzied state of excitement by the announcement that the second teller of the bank, James H. Leverich by naine, had suddenly taken himself to parts unknown, after leaving a deficit in his accounts amonut- lwg in the aggregate to about $490,000. ‘There were at the time the defalcation was first made bare to the light of day many and conflicting rumors floating about concerning the unfortunate young teiler who had at one fell. blow lost friends, name and honor, becanse, forsooth, he had dune what many others had done before him, but who had the evil fortune not to acquire the essential part of others’ speculative doings—snccess. One of the rumors was that the secund teller was not the only person in the bank who had been the cause of usin and losing the bank’s funds for speculative and other purposes. Indeed, there was anotuer ramor that Leverich was as innocent of the charges pre- rret against him as @ child unborn, his nature being of that noble compound which made him proof ainst “peaching” on his confréres, and impelled him, for sweet consistency’s sake, to become a martyr to fixed principles. ‘These rumors, like ull rumors, seemed at the time of their first circulation to be devoid of all founda- tion fn fact, and were consequently treated with the utmost deriston on the = of the pubiic, and par- ticularly by a large number of the clerks in the bauk, who gave everybody to understand that poor Le\e- rich was a very black sheep indeed, which all the este shearing in the world could'nt ave ren- dered light of wuiit, and that all tae other clerks were, bless you, “us pure as the beautiful snow.” ‘The month in which tue defaleaiion ocenrred was scarcely three wees old when the exc'tement caused by its sudden publicity died out. Time passed away, as a tale that is told, yet the yumors died not, but slumbered and gained new strength by jong nursing in the breasts of some of the bank officials, Indced these gentlemen, taking crenreing into consideration, a few weeks ago thought {1 Proper on their part, as guardians of the interests of the bunk and as an act of justice to those persons to whom |.umor pointed a finger of condeuin- ation, to institute a thorough invesugation into the accounts of ail the clerks li: the institution, The in- vestigation was ade aud resuied in the revelation that all the rnmors concerning the white sheep hat not been without sulid foundation. It naturaily fol- jJowed that the consequences ‘of the official inquiry were very disastrous to several clerks of the bank, whose accounts showed plainly that there had been for some time a “combina- tion” (a8 one of the oMcials terms it) among tiem by which on the surface of their ledger pages fsures indicated the utmost correctness, whereas they were oniy iike “yood.y apples rotten at tue core.” So thorough and compiete was this “com- b.nation” that it ‘equired the uimost ingenuity and painstaking labor on the part of the investigators to robe the frands to the bottom; but they suce-eded, jwwever, in their efforts and were finally enabled to present the directors with the names of the gulity arties and the amounts which had been lost to the uk. Tuen, as @ iiiting Climax vo the investigation, two or three of the guilty clerks, finding tuo: there Was no avenue of escape froin the pit they had dug for themselves, confessed their complicity in the de- falcauon. So soun as the “combination” had been unveiled, and the fact. made evident that James Leverich nad Net been the only guilty party, the directors took strenuous measures to #ee to it that the bank should not be made a total loser by the defalcaiion. To a certain extent their efforts in this particuiar were successful, and, as onc of the officials told our re- porter, “a large amount of the money has been recovered.” It is said this amo: 18 about $200,000, it not more, but the bank officials have not as yet given the precise figures. It 1s supposed that the moueys recovered were obtained from tie bondsmen of the dishonest clerks, Who have all been discharged aud Tepiaced by reliable men, The bunk a acon queuce is in @ more flourishing condition th: One of the peculiar features of this whol: ment is, that notwithstanding the f vestigation and its results occurred ers, and particularly ihe jowed the sligh:est hint as to the cle tion in tke bauk aud Ils causes, never, rical rovoiu- THE ALLEGED MALPRACTICE CASE, A number of persons was summoned to be present yesterday at the inquest which was heid at the Tenth precince # ation house, before Coroner Keenan, for the purpose of undergoing examination w.th the view of inyuiring into the alleged malpractice sus, pected to have caused the death of Kioma Konigs- berger, the young girl Wiose case was noticed In yes- terday’s HexaLp, The following is the testimony of ‘TESTIMONY OF NINA FISCHER, Nina Fischer, being sworn, tesiified as followa:— ide at No. 7746 Norfolk stvevt, on the first floor, rear; wasacqualnted with Emma Koulgsberger; have known ver abut five years; ai acquainted with her parents; noticed notiuug strange about the persou of deceased for tie past few weeks; sie waa of rather a stout build; ueard remarks im rela- tion ty her physical coniition avout three weeks ago; heard people speak of it in the streets; she (witness) on heariug it said It was impossible, as Emma was ony @chud; deceased was pertectiy well up to a | month ago, Witaess missed her in the house aud a’terwards geard sue had the typhoid ‘ever; saw Dr. Kicard going into the house; thinks it was on the 7th ina. she saw the docior go in; saw a nuniber of suungers go in; tuought they went to visit de- cvased’s Mother, as she had been lately couuned, kuow Madame Weiss; saw her go into the louse two weeks ago; that was the lirst tine wimess saw her go iu there; Madame Weiss was accoil- panied by @ young mun; it wus between mie i eeven o'clock Wuen they went tu; they re ed about # quarter of an hour; they thea @ out; did not see them curry away gens] from the fioase; heard io noise; w worai Uainer Mis.
