TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALB. We have received the following special de- apatch from our correspondent at Matamoros: — Matamoros, Mexico, April 5, 1872. A special messenger bas just arrived from ‘the Heratp correspondent at Camargo, who preports that General Trevino had arrived in Mehat town on the 3d inst. Trevino brings with jhim a considerable force of infantry. He will incorporate the troops of Quiroga and ove at once with the united forces on Mata- oros. : Considerable uneasiness is manifested at the japproach of the revolutionists, for it is felt \that they will make desperate efforts to cap- ftnre the city, as the fate of the revolution de- ppends on their success in carrying out this enterprise. THE REPORT OF ROOHA'S DEFEAT DENIED. The defeat of General Rocha is contra- @icted. The report was founded on a slight guocess gained by the revolutionary forces over one of his small detachments. The rebel | headers took advantage of this circumstance to reanimate the drooping courage of their fal- Jowers by proclaiming a victory. The delay of Rocha in following up his victory gave a weeming confirmation to bis pretended defeat, Dut the real cause of the delay was an ugwil- lingness on his part to advance into the diffi- cult country south of Saltillo before receiving weinforcements. 4 By the latest accounts the central govern- ment has been making strenuous efforts to support Rocha, who is now advancing on Sal- tillo. revolationists at Saltillo, reports that Rocha thas been reinforced by nine thousand men ‘vf all arms. REPORTED REBEL VICTORY. The news from the Sonth is by no means #0 favorable forthe Juarez government. The Monterey papers assert that the revolution- Ista, taking advantage of the absence of the obief part of the army in the North, have attacked and captured the important city of Puebla. If this news be true we shall probably see the struggle begun again in the Southern States on a greater scale than ever. It needs confirmation, however. ATTEMPT TO REPRESS OATTLE THIEVING, The Mexican authorities along the Rio Grande have been thoroughly frightened by the threatened action of the United States government and are taking measures to re- press the freebooters. A drove of cattle that had been “‘lifted” in Texas has just been re- covered by a party of troops under Colonel Muewago, who at once sent them to the American commander, Ringgold. They were restored to their owners, and it is hoped that this action on the part of the Mexican au- thorities marks the commencement of a vigor- ous effort to put down depredations on the border, Trevino and Quiroga About to Attack Matamoros—Their March on the City— Expected Arrival of Government Troops te Save the Place—Palacios’ Preparations ef Defence—Great Panic in Mata: On. Matamoros, Mexico, April 9, 1872. The long promised operations of the revo- lutionists against Matamoros are likely to be accomplished within a very short time. The combined forces of Generals Trevifio and Quiroga have left Camargo, taking the route to China, on the direct road from this city to Monterey, Thence they will move hither and begin the attack. Their combined forces are estimated at two thousand men, infantry and cavalry, and six pieces of artillery. Cortina, at the head of a government force, ‘has gone to watch the movements of the rebels. RELIEF YOR MATAMOROS. The steamer Tobasco, from Vera Cruz, is expected here in the course of this month. She brings troops and war material. If she arrivos in time Matamoros may yet be saved. Should the Tobasco enter through the mouth of the river the revolutionists will attempt to Prevent her landing the troops. They (the rebels) have placed in position two pieces @ artillery for that purpose. The government General Correla with a force is moving to Lenarez, whence he can threaten the rear of Trevifio, whose object is probably to capture Matamoros, obtain war material, money and all tho seizable valuables, qud then to retire from the city.

PALACIOS’ DEFENCE OF MATAMOROS. This evening General Palacios, the com- mander of this place, has issued an order pro- hibiting communication with the American side, because he has heard that General Tre- vino is near Reynosa moving on this city. General Palacios has also ordered the ferry to be closed, and begun reorganizing the Na- tional Guard and placing guns on the fortifi- cations, THE PRESIDENT OF THE REBEL JUNTA. Your correspondent is assured by the Presi- dent of the revolutionary Junta that only a small detachment of ‘frevifio’s cavalry is at Reynosa, with the object of preventing Corti- na from watching the movements of his (Tre- vino’s) main force. There is a great panio in this city at the threatened arrival of the revolutionists, The rebel chief, Pedro Hennajosa, arrived in Brownsville this morning. The Rev ists at Roynosn—Tho Gates of Matamoros Closed—Communication with the Outside Completely Cut Off—Goverr- ment Reinforcements on the Way to Ma moros. MaTAMOROS, April 7, 1872, Atelegram to General Palacios to-day from Rey- nosa, sixty miles distant, reports Generals Treviilo and Quiroga’s forces, about 2,000 strong, with nine pleces of artillery, within a few mules of that place advancing on this city. The gates of Matamoros are closed and commu- nication with Brownsville by ferry stopped. The National Guard are out and being armea for defence. There 18 great excitement on account of commu- nication with the outside being cut off. The revolu- tonists assert that the movement of Treviiio and Quiroga 1s only a feint to cover an intended attack on a body of troops commanded by General Cevalias. Government troops are coming from San Luis Potosi to reinforce Matamoros and Tampico. The evidences are that the revolutionists are actually advancing on this city. The Revolutionists Within About Forty Miles of Matamoros—Martial Law Declared by General Palacios. MATAMORAS, April 9, 1872, The revolutionists are supposed to be within forty or fifty miles ot this city, having reoccupied Rey- nosa about ten o'clock this morning, at which time telegraphic communication with that Place ceased. General Palacios has deciarea mar- tal law, ana placed General Ayola, of Monterey, second in command and in charge of the National Guards, about six hundred of whom were enrolled and armed to-day, Every available measure has been adopted to secure the defence of the city. Persons are prohibited from leaving or entering the city without a military pass. Business is entirely suspended here, General Palacios? Order Requiring Special Permits for all Vessels on the Rie Grande— Consequent Indiguation on the American Side—Tne Sicwe of Mutamoros to Begin in a Day or Two—ocha’s Reported Retreat Toward the City of Mexico—Another Revolt in Oaxaca. Matamoros, April 9, 1872, General Palacios has issued a proclamation placing Matamoros under martial law. He as- sumes the right to require all vessels on the Rio Grande to obtain special permit from him before approaching within twelve miles of the city above or below as @ precaution against the revolution- ists baving the river as a means to attack the city. This order has created considerable opposition on the American side, as it 1s denied that Mexican omotals can exercise such supervision over tne | river under any circumstancs, While the right of the police to visit may be admitted, a permit cannot be exacted for a vessel coasting be- tween American ports ascending or descending the Rio Grande, and, should steamers be stopped, it will probably lead to resistance on the part of the steamboat men, Generala Trevino’s and Querogas’ forces are atill advancing towards Matanzas, and will probably begin the seige in @ day or two. The revolutionists ciaim to have received a courier to-night announcing Rocha’s retreat {rom the State of Durango towards the city of Mexico, on account of General Negrece’s appearance in the State of Puebla with a strong revolutionary force threatening the city of Puebla; that Generall Allatare was recalled from there with the government troops to suppress another revolt in the State of Oaxaca, and that the insurgent forces still occupy the intertor States and even menace the capital itself, SPAIN.

O'Connor, Her Assailant and ‘Orton’-Tichborne, the Alleged Aristocrat, Under Crimi- nal Indictment—American Cotton in the Market. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. LONDON, April 9, 1872. Acting on a telegraphic hint trom New York, in- quiry has been made concerning the pretended ru- mors of Queen Victoria's avdication, and there can be no doubt that the whole story ts the purest ine vention, There 1s not the slightest foundation for the pretence of such a rumor in anything publisned or correctly reported here. The Continental correspondents of the London journals find a prolific subject for ridicule im the statements in which the German and French newa- Papers indulge concerning the Queen's visit to Ba- den-Baden, its objects and possible results; but even the wildest or these romancers has not hinted at Victorla’s abdication.

The Grand Jury at the Old alley this morning re- turned a true bill of indictment againat the Tich- borne estate clafmact in the late trial, charging him ‘with forgery and perjury. TNE CLAIMANT IN NEWGATE—HIS DRESS, JEWELRY, CASH AND DEMEANOR, “Ortoft-Tichborne has been imprisoned in New- gate since the evening of the close of the trial in which he was plaintif in claim for the Tichborne family estate. Upon being imformed a few days ago that he would have to go ‘at once to the Oid Bailey," he regained his wonted cooiness and self- possession. Upou being taken into Newgate the officials who conducted him there were tuformed by the Governor that their responsibility nad ceased, upon intimauon of which they took tneir depar- ture. ‘Orton’-Tichborne theu appeared to breathe more freely; aud, afver scanning the room in which he stood, waited, as it were, for instructions @% to his,;next move, He was asked in the ordinary way his name, to which he repiled, “Koger Charles voughty ficavorne.” The name was accordingly eutered in the prison book. He was then informed that it was customary for prisoners to hand over all money and olner prop. erly about them to the c2sloay of the jall officials, Upon this intimation he took out a splendid gold watch, to Which was attached a heavy gold chain, and handed tt over to the officer. Hé next took @ large gold snusfbox out of his walstcvat pocket, 6 like ‘tue watch, ving elaborately engraver with the Tichborne coat of arms, These articies having been duly entered, he puiled out a purse containing gold and some loose cash, which in the aggregate amounted to £74 83. 6d. He was then cold to Jlollow (he Jailer, which he did, and was conducted to one of the ordinary cells of the prison, where he was fniormed he would be lo- cated. He sat nimself down on the wooden stool and gave a heavy sig. He then looked thought- fully round his cell, woich contains a hammock bed, a folding table fixed against the wall, a washhan basin and slate shelves, The officer then lett nim, and there he has passed nis nights in Newgate. Ac- cording to the report of the watch he sleeps weil and soundly, and appears to await the result of bis trial under the present indicument with a demeanor of apparently stolid indifference. FRANCE.

The Charges Agninst Jadges Barnard ond Cardozo—What Has Been Proved—Report of the Committee. An important meetng of the Bar Association was hela last night in the parlors of the Assoctauon, tn ‘Twenty-seventh street. Mr. &. 8, Van Winkle pre- Sided, The minutes of a previous meeting were read, from which it appeared tuat the Association had made certain recommendations to the Judiciary Committees of the Legislature to be incorporated into the statutes of the State, They selected fifty names of lawyers from which referees should be Appointed; that money recetved by sucn referees should be deposited in some wust compaay, and | that no ordey should be made out of Court unless upon amidavits presented, giving suMicient reasons therefor. A committee of five was appointed to Present these points to the Legisiative Committee of the Judiciary, which they dia. The first was dented, but the other recommendations were received by the committee, THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTER of the Association reported in favor of a meeting on from such meetings withous cause shall be contt- ered @ resignation; that a fine of $1 be imposed upon absentees, and that $1,000 be donated to the ubrary.

Mr. John Jay sent a mitt of $100, and Mr, W. A.

L, Willets, who after forty-six years’ success- ful practice at the bar of this State 1s about to retire, also donated his law library to the Association, and authorized 1t to buy any missing copies of sets at bis expense. In his communication Mr. Wiliets con- trasis tne Judictary of to-day with what it was when he began to practise law. Then it was an honor to be a lawyer or a judge; now it is almost a disgrace, A lever was read from Judge Snea, of the Marine Court, asking the Association to take some means of proving or disproving the allegations of corrup- tion made by Judge Qurtis against him (Mr. Shea) and nis colleagues. A discussion arose on the point whether this matter should be referred toa Special committee or to the standing judiciary com- mittee of the Association fur action. It was con- sidered improper to touch it at all, Imasmuch as the Association had no power to summon witnesses, and it would be & siuitification of Lhe Association to send it to the legislative Judictary Committee as mueacates: since the Bar Association had asked for ne ABOLISHMENT OF THE MARINE COURT. And furthermore, it was sald the Justices of the Marine court, by the constitution of the State, could not be removed except by the Governor for cause, orby the Senate on the Governor's recommenda: tion, The communication of Judge Shea was, how- ever, referred to a special committee of five. ‘{he great leathre of the evening, and that whioh mainly called alarge representation of the Bar Asso- ciation together, was the report of the Judiciary Committee of the Association upon the legisiative Judicial investigation which has recentiy taken place here in regard to the Judicial conduct of some of our judges. This report was read oy Mr. Van Cott, and during the progress of its aelivery and at its close was frequently and warmly applauded, The repors get out with a review of the curreul rumors which prevailed tion mm the judiciary of this the causes which led the Bar Association to institute the charges against Judges Barnard, Cardozo and others. ‘The testimony taken will fill 2,000 octavo pages, and is to be printed for future Telerence and as an evideuce of Wiat tne Bar Asso- ciation has tried to Jo to purify the Bench. The report was prepared hastily, and, of course, within its limit could Dot give very many specific acts proved nor tue evidence adduced, But enough was elicited showing that a state of things existed in the courts which could not be endured, and whica imperatively demanded the removal of the Judge: 1t is currently held that unless a Judge receives a pecuniary bribe to aifect his judicial action he 13 hot corrupt. But the report asserts that any Judge Who Viviates the law of right toward a suitor know- Ingly and willully 18 corrupt, oO matter what the consideration may be. (Applause.) JUDGES ARE EXEMPT FROM PUNISHMENT corrup- regarding en BO for wrong done by them, unless through opeachment and trial. A Judge = snouid not be punished ior honest mistakes, but in just the proportion that he escapes punishment he should be held lable to Impeachment. And if he sleps aside trom the establisved usage of the Courts or upon ex parte statements appoints referees or does lor one party what he would not do for another, inferences must inevitably be drawn that Justice is not aduministerea, and partiality in those ‘cases 1s Judicial corruption, (Applause) ‘The in- vestigation compels the finding of such corruption and in spite of the rules and restrictions with which the Investigation was conducted their case had goue further than they expected. (Applause.) They did not hope to be able to establish pecuniary corrup- ton, but they had traced home presents received from successful litigants and political tavorites and had in that way estabitshed their case. The power to issue injunctions, appoint reterees and receivers: and make allowances, &c,, has enriched favorites regardiess of the damage gone to other varies, As illustrations of the adminiStration of JUSTICE BY JUDGES BARNARD AND CARDOZO the following cases were given:—A plaintitt with a judgment unsatisfied asked for an injunction re- Btraining tue debtor from paying the debt to the de- fendant, and an order compelling lim to pav the amouni to. the plainud, This was denied, but an order was Made colamanding the debtor to pay we money over forthwith to a friend of the Judge’s on pain of imprisonment—two criminal offences com- mitted in one order by Judge Barnard. Another case Was (hat famous one of James Fisk, Jr.. agent ot the Union Pacific Ratiroad and the Crédit Mobi- lier, Which caused @ loA3 of $5,090,009 to the com- any, and about the terror wuicn the order created Tage Barnard made his boasts in barrooms of this city. The famous Black Friday case was another, wherein Barovrd compeiled the Bank of New Y ork, then Insolvent, to pay all of 113 assets, amounting to $40,000, to the brokers of Fisk, Gould & Co. and 15,000 toa receiver of his own appointment, leaving the other creditors without a cent. Tue justification set up for this action 13 that the plainufts and the bank officers consented to it, Isut tne bank officers say that the consent was wrung from them, and that the bank suffered a loss of between two hun- dred and three hundred thousand doliars within torty days. The suitot the Engiish stockholders of Erie against Fisk & Gould, in which John H.
