Havana, Feb. 22, 1873, As I write the booming of the guns of the Worcester, Admiral Green’s flagship, firing a salute in honor of Washington's Birthday, and the reply from the fortifications and German war vessels in port are sounding in my ears, and will awaken the Wordering thoughts of many a Spaniard and Cuban to revert to the immortal founder of the American Republic. Cubans will think of their fellow patriots fighting against the power of Spain and struggling to establish their independence, and will imagine their leader Cespedes a second Washington. Spaniards will ponder over the new order of thimgs, the Republic now proclaimed in Spain, and compare the new men and measures brought into view with the American revolutien and its heroes, The recent changes will be the principal theme of my letter this week. COLONIAL RETROSPECT—AS IT WAS AND 49 IT 18. When the news reached this istand of the eleva- tion, on New Year's Day, 1871, of the Duke of Aosta (Amadeus) to tne throne of tho Spanish Cmsars as King of Spain no enthusiasm was displayed, nor even felt, in this city or elsewhere; ne particular Manifestation of satisfaction was made by the people or press of the island, The situation was quietly accepted, but with the imward conviction in every Spaniard’s heart that the dynasty would not last for avery long time, Therefore the news of the abdication by Amadeus of the crown of Spain as been received with the same indifferent calmness. The telegrams that brought the tmper- tant intelligence were suppressed by the chief authority for over twenty-four hours, and after their purport leaked out were not at once made public, Something exciting appeared to have happened, and rumor was busy ag usual. Knots of men could be perceived near the Palace, on the squares and wharves and in the streets discussing the situation. Occasionally could be heard laugh- ing salutations of “Good day, citizen! but the general feeling seemed to be one of doubt and the determination to await the development of events, When the telegrams announcing the abdication of the King and the PROCLAMATION OF TIE REPUBLIC were received by the Captain General a junta, or meeting, was immediately called at the Palace of the masters of the island—the volunteers—repre- sented by their colonels and chief officers of the different battalions, and then His Excellency pro- ceeded to divulge the unexpected news. All present declared their confermity in recegnizing the new condition of affairs, and promised their fealty to the new government, The different journals of this city, before the telegrams were omMcially announced, noticed the fact that alarming rumors concerning important political changes in Spain were in circulation, but advised their readers to awalt events, aveld useless political discussion, which served only to heat and inflame exctted minds; and all, without exception, harped on the string of ‘national integrity,” advising firmness and patriotic constancy and confidence in them- selves and the authorities. Evidently there was some alarm felt in certaéa circles as to the manner in which the intelligence would be received. By orders of the Captain General the Political Secre- tary on the 14th announced the abdication of the King and the lawful and peaceful proclamation of the Republic by the Cortes, the Junta of the ou- thorities here, and the acceptance, in the name of the inhabicants of the island, of the government chosen by the Cortes, and then promised allegiance to ’ THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE NATION, whatever the ferm of public powers which might be cuosen; then, naming the personnel of the new government, he goes on to state that one of its first acts was to declare at any cost the sustain- ment of national integrity, and quotes the despatch of the Colonial Minister to the same effect. Other telegrams have been received from the President of the National Assembly and other authorities with the imtention of inspiring con- fidence. THE COLONIAL REPLY OF ACCEPTANCE AND ALLE+ GIANCE. ‘The reply sent from here to Minister Martos’ tele- gram reads as follows:— FEBRUARY 17, 1873. The loyal inhabitants of Cub., as well as the army, navy and the volunteers, are grateful for the assurance given them in the name of the Na- tional Assembly to maintain the territorial integ- rity. Inspired by the same sentiments of elevated patriotism as the President and the Assembly, all bere are disposed to sustain the same integrity und to deiend Spanish nationality without considera- tion of sacrifices or costs, The telegram from the Colonial Minister, Salme- ron, in which he refers to the reception of the United States Minister at Madrid and his wishes for the prosperity of the Republic, is also published. DEMOORATIC SALUTATIONS. Telegrams addreseed to the principal authorities here have a'so been received from the republican clabs of Madrid, Santander, and other cities, UNITED STATES DIPLOMACY IN MADRID, Tho Diario, referring to Mr. Sickles’ interview, says it writes that name with repugnance, and notices the words of the Spanish Minister to the etfect that the nation’s principal desire was the integrity ofits territory. The Diario rejects the idea deduced by New York papers from the procla- mation of the Republic that nuw the government would be disposed to cede Cuba, and asserts that the belief that General Sickles will be the tutor of the Bew government would prove ® mistaken one, Added toall this, the Political Secretary, Alejandro G. Olivares, was commissioned in hot haste, and despatched to the peninsula by the steamer of the 15th as the bearer of important documents to the ‘overnment, Olivares is a gentiewan of advanced ideas, censiderable inistrative talent, having been governor of a province in Spain, and with republican tendencies. It can certainly be stated that be will not return, as he is net a favorite with the slaveocratic oligarchy styling themseives “uncenditionais,”’ as his feelings and opinions clash with theirs, he being strongly 1n favor ofpardonin and releasing from embargo the property of a those not strongly or actively compromised with the insurrection. The next steamer for Spain will probably take away Quother important member of the government here, the political Governer. It pears thatin the baste and alarm engendered by the stirring pews, when the Juuta relerred to was called by the Mt ig General, the former was not invited to attend. Taking olfence at what he considered a slight, but was evidently an act of jorgetiuiness on the part of the Captain General, he wrote a very offensive epistie to xcellency, in consequence whereof he wil have te take his leave. LAR INTERESTS AND THE SITUATION, The new order of things in Spain has pot made any very deep impression on those who at present pretend torule the island. They are too thoroughly | convinced that all the erfurts of Spain and ita statesmen to rule the affairs and destinies of Cuba from the mother country have been unavatitng. It must be confessed thet the policy adopted in Cuba and the measures Of those most in- terested here in the government of the island, are really the pressure brought to bear on Spain regard- ing Cubanagairs, There are many men of wealth aud Hegrhet here, who nave bitherte been the Rrop e continuance of slavery in the isiand, their money has had more weight at Madrid than pure, wnédefiled love of country, and been the reason for many of the measures advocated for the island, and if anything arose which promised to be un- favorable to themselves and their interests steps were taken to prevent it. Butall such opposition emanated from this side of the ocean. ey and power have always been the springs to sway the motives of those who make the laws for Cuba, and the slaveocracy here have been adroit in the use of these means. Witness the acts of their agent for several years at arid, Don Manuel Calvo, and the sams of money was allowed to spend in order t obtain from the Zorrilia Ministry the assurance that the reforms—the teclinical name for abolition of slavery and more enlightened form @f governent—would net be extended to Cuda, Spaniards in Cuba Will, therefore, accept any form that the plaintil had not proved that a Loe penne J of the property owners had petitioned tor the closing tunnel The detence ciaims that the Legis- ct closimg te tunuel Was ugyunstjtuueual, pt ent, aud pretend ebedience to it, pro- OL yr eretiag’ be ‘dene to touch thelr interesis, Many here are know? as legitimists, Alfousists, aad ere Ce unanimity exists where the common interest is and the watchword of gli is “national meaning THE MAINTAINING OF SLAVERY, consequent measares of k corr indent has conversed with several Cuban: whom he knows be oy mpetuacts, or laborantes, about the new order of things in Spain. They ap- pear to have no more faith in the Tepaneicen ger. ernment than they had inthe monarchy. eir neral Opinion, as manifested, is to the ct that vern Cuva, but that the slavery im does no! ty im Cuba governs Spain, and that even the alented men at present composing the Minit will not have suilicient power to free the islani from the traditional despotism exercised by those invested with the authority of governing it. At this particular juncture the return by the Spanish mail steamer from Porto Rico of Messrs. Torrayo, Pulido and Geipi, the Commissioners of the Casino Espanol, attracts but little attention. All that is revealed of their mission is that they duly accom- eee the Marquis de la Esperanza and Sefer havarrl, remained but @ stort time in Porte Rico, but long enough toe compliment Captain General Martinez Plowes and receive irom him the assur- ance that he would allow nothing to occur preju- dictal te the national integrity. THE NEW LOAN, The apparent non-success of the twenty million loan has terribly disappointed the Intendente, Not- withstanding the efforts of the press and autho- rities scarcely three millions have thus far been subscribed for, and this principally among the smalier capitalists. There is still money and means enough in Cuba, but in the hands ef those who are not so willing to open them. One can ailrm tothe opinion already formed regarding the slavehelding oulenreniy of this city, who continually Praise their own patriotism, sounding the trumpet of their efforts in the cause far and near. Although ene would naturally expect to see the names of Well-known miilionaires, such as Zulucta, Bard, Torraya, Pulido, &c., among the subscribers te the loan, yet an examination of the lists doe: veal them. Such examples as these country the best proof of what the patriotiam of leaders of the Casino Espafiol amounts to, wellare ef @ nation is pound up in the action of tts individual members, and “by their fruits ye shall know them." The original scheme to effect the loan was by opening subscriptions in London, Paris, Hamburg and Madrid, but Don Pedro Sote- 0, @1 the Council ef “Thurteen,” strongly Opposed the plan, en the ground that the money im that case would never reach Cuba, but remainin Spain, Now, these natienal integritists that the loan cansgot inspire confidence; that the decree emanated jrom the Minister after a consultation with other Ministers, and can there- fore be eastly abrogated by another Minister of a different political opinion, For these REASONS: First, that the money polgnt remain in Spain, and next because it remains here. Under a pretext that the loan is illegal, the millionnaires refrain from contributing to the financial relief of the island, Undoubtedly they are good patriots and display excellent patriotism. STILL DOWNWARD AND DEEPER, At present Ouba is daily getting worse. She may, tobably, effect @ cure, but her convalescence will very slow an! dangerous in oase of a relapse. The working classes are suffering greatly on ac- count of the high prices of all the necessaries of life. Everything has increased in that line ever one hundred per cent, Fresh meat, which sold formerly at twenty and _ twenty-five cents per pound, now costs from forty to sixty cents; pota- toes, formerly three dollars to four dollars per bar- rel, are now $11. Bread has not risen in price, but decreased in size of the loaves. House rents are increased frightfully, and everythii else in the way of living and ‘clothing 1s proportionately increased, save salaries and ‘Wages. Numbers of strikes have lately oc- curred among cigar-factory hands, the employers having acceded to slight advances in the wages of their Operators, It has been lately stated that the International is active in Cuba; but this is very doubtful, notwithstanding that the grand strike in Cuba is not lar eff if a remedy is yot soon found for the many evils which afilict her. NEWS FROM THE BATTLEFIELDS. The Intest official information concerning the state of affairs in the interior 1s about the same as usual—meagre reports of apy encounters with the insurgents, but full ones ef reconnoissances made in insurgent districts, A telegram of the 16th inst. declares that General Riquelme, com- manding at Puerto Principe, having heard that the insurgent chief, Vicente Garcia, with about five hundred men, was near Gonzales and Santa Apa, ordered Colenel Esponda from Guaimaro with a tol- umn of soldiers, in their pursuit. At about haif- past four they came up to their advance pickets and commenced to attack, having to suspend on account of tne approach of night. When the next morning the attack was resumed on the enemy’s flanks, Precautions having been taken to cut off their retreat, much to their surprise the enemy had completely slipped away during the night. The Span- iards claim to have taken several ‘‘mules” prisoners; but, belug mute 72ambdi mules, they could not give any. iniormation how this slipping away really took place without being first ‘dispersed’? by the Spaniards, Another telegram reports the capture of thi surgent General Francisco Muioz de Rurale: person of great influence and importance the insurgents. Ruraleaba was some years ago chiefeditor of £2 Oriente, a journal then started in the interests of the native party at Puerto Prin- cipe, but which, on account of its liberal ten- dencies, was forced to suspend its publication. FOREIGN SQUADRONS. The German squadron, comprising five vessels, under command of Commodore Verner, arrived from Jamaica on the sth instant. The squadron is composed of the following vessels:—}rederick Cail, fagship; Vineta, Gazelle, Elizabeth and . The United States steamship Wercester, tlagship, and the British war sloop Woodlark are also in port. The presence of so many naval ollicers in pert has considerably en- livened society, and receptions on board the different fagships and on shore are the order of the day. CHANGE IN CUBAN COUNSELS, PPR scan Rumored Appointment of New Repre- sentatives of the Insurgent Republic in This City—Sentiments of Disap- proval Among the Refugecs. A report was current yesterday in Cuban circles that the general agents of the Republic of Cuba in this city—namely, Mr. Ramon Cespedes, cousin of the President of Cuba of that name; Mr. Juan Maria Mayorga, and Francisco Aguilera—had been superseded by the following three gentlemen:— Messrs. Fellx Govin, Carlos Castillo and General Quesada. ‘The news was received with disfavor among all classes of Cubans, on account of the high popular- ity and eminent services rendered by the present three members of tie agency, and Mr. Mayorga, in particular. It will be seen from the following de- scription that the organization of @ new board is impossible at the present moment, as Mr, Felix Govin is an American subject, having ciaims against the Spanish government, and refuses emphatically to accept the office, stating that no better men could possibly be found tor the delicate and confidential work that has to be done than Messrs, Cespedes and Mayorga. General Quesada, now in Venezuela, residing with the President of that country, Guzman Blanco, is out of the question for the time ben Mr. Carlos Castfilo, a former President of the vane Savings Bank, 18 now resident in this city. The Cubans in this city would never, it is believed, in the present encouraging state of affuirs, consent to entrust all their weighty interests in this city and country to a one-inan committee. An official report from Mr. Mayorga om the subject is ex- pected within a few days. REAL ESTATE MATTERS, Heavy Private Sales—“David Garrick” @ Purchaser. Usually the day after a big battle the forces en- gaged in the conflict take a rest for ort period. Thus it was among the buyers and sellers of real estate, who apparently expended their strength on the buge sale of the Carman estate the day befor consequently there was little or nothing done yesterday, at least at public sale. A. Lustig, a real estate broker, disposed of one ef the finest lots on Fifth avenue, lately the prop- erty of Mr. Jonas Sonneborn, 8 heavy land owner, to her. Jonn Harper, Jr., for $126,000, for the pu: ose of building a first class residence thereon. Ris is situated on the southeast corner of Filth avenue and Seventy-third street, directly in fromt or the Park entrance, aad is without doubt one of the finest plots of C4 ina On the east side. The size of the property is 32x140 feet. Another private sale of importance—at least to the purchaser, wko, by the way, is the celebrated “Lord Danareary” (Mr. E. Sothern)—was made yesterday by Mr. John McClave. jis tran ton consisted of four full bts om the southwest corner of West End (Eleventh) avenue and Eighty-seventh street, each 25x100 feet, thi price paid therefor being $25,000. Sothern's purchase om this avenue last Nove! yr, having tarned out so successfully, has encouraged him to make still farther investments, and it is generally conceded that this last transaction is in reality & bargain. Mr. Sothern has now nearly fifty thousand doliars’ worth of property on the west side, which is daily increasing in value. Mr. Mcclave likewise sold yesterday three lots, 25x100 feet each, on the south side of 148th street, 100 jeet west of Seventh avenue, for $7,500 each. STILL HARRASSING BOGY. St. £0018, Mo., Feb. 28, 1873. ‘The republican members of the Legislature have drawn up and signed ® momorial to the United States Senate, setting forth & history of the late stigation ef the charges of corruption in the Fecont Sepavoris ction, declaring that the tea- timony taken was partial, unlair and totally un- Satisfactory ; that some important witnesses were bot brought’ before the committee, and that others were not Vuoroughly examined; that money was ueed im ‘the Senatoris! contest, and aaking the Senat Le FOSTER’S FATE. The Doomed Man Await- ing His End. Strong Hopes of a Commutation of His fentence to Imprisonment for Life by Governor Dix— The Petition at Albany—Stokes in His New Quarters—The Grand Jury Think the Tombs is Clean, but Damp and Unhealthy. ‘The city was filled with rumors yesterday that Governor John A, Dix had manifested a disposition to grant a commatation of the sentence of William Fester, the murderer of Avery D. Putnam. Early in the day the rumors seemed to have had some foundation, and a great many people expected that Gevernor Dix would commute the con- demned man’s sentence to imprisonment for life, Thirty or forty Protestant clergymen have visited the Governor during the past four weeks, and have besieged him night and day with prayers for mercy; but as yet he has proved obdurate. Foremost among the gentlemen who have sought te mitigate Foster's sontence has been the Rev. Stephen H. Yyng, Sr., and evory effort has been made that was possible to secure that end. MRS, PUTNAM, the bereaved widow of the murdered man, at the solicitation of Mra. Foster, wrote a strong and feeling letter to Governor Dix, in which she stated that the death of Foster on the gallows would not in any way assuage the sorrow which she felt for the loss of her beloved husband. Mrs. Putnam also added in her letter that Foster's life might be spared to afford him time for repentance, Owing to the statements that have been made in the newspapers in regard to the action of evangelical clergymen who have been reported to have asked for a reprieve for the condemned man, the Rev, Morgan Dix, an Episcopal clergyman of high standing in this city, and recter of Trinity church, has found it necessary to state that he did not sign any petition to Governor Dix for the commutation of the sentence of Foster. SEVERAL DELEGATIONS OF CITIZENS have called upon the Governor and have urged strenuously upon him the advisability of granting Foster a commutation, believing, as they have said, that a condemned criminal would be cer- tain to dothe State more service by laboring in prison for twenty or thirty years than he could poteibly achieve by being hanged by the neck like log. The news from Albany up to a late hour last night was not definite as to the Governor's inten- tion in regard to the condemned man. The mixed delegations of citizens and clergymen who had concerning the affair. he said it wasin New York, and not in Brooklyn. He afterwards heard or read that s mav died in the Bellevue Hospital, amd he tuought he might have been the man whom he STRUCK ON THE EAD. Tt ts said that no case of the kind, such as Sweeney descrives, occurred in New York at that time, nor did any mun die at the Bellevue Hospital from a wound onthe head. It ts, therefore, in- ferred that if Sweeney struck any man on the heaa it must have beew poor Panormo.

FOSTEX IN THE COMPANY OF HIS WIFE. From an early hour of yesterday morning Foster, in etmesny with his wife, sat betind the Bins red- hot betler stove in the murderers’ corridor of the inner Tombs prison. During Thursday night he had slept well, and yesterday he ate his meals regu- larly, believing that a reprieve would come for him. The Sheriff keeps two seraes in charge ef Foster all the time. These deputies are changed every twelve hours—two for the night tour and two for the day tour. Those in charge yesterday until six o'clock in the evening were Deputies James Dunphy and Daly. The officers of the |e have behaved very kindly to Foster during nis ae and every official im the Tombs, with the exceptien of one, has signed the petition for the commutation of his sentence. MYSTERIOUS GOOD NEWS. The Rev. Atepben H. Tyng, Sr., visited the pris- oner yesterday and luiparved to’ nim some secret intelligence which seemed to increase his spirits very considerabiy. The effect of thia intelligence, whatever it may have been, was visible on Foster’s face and in his actions during the day, Mrs, Foster, who has been a very devoted and noble wife to her husband during the darkest hours of his fate, seemed much more Cheerful than usual alter the visit of Dr. Tyng. VISIT FKOM THE SISTERS OF MERCY. At half-past two o'clock yesterday afternoon two good ladies of the Order of the Sisters of Mercy vis- ited Foster, and conversed with the doomed man and his wile for nearly an hour. Mrs. Foster sat with her back against the door of tne cell which Foster has occupied since his sentence. Foster sat with his back towards the south end of the prison and facing the stove. The Sisters of Mercy stood directly oppesite the stove during the interview, and offered all the consolation in their power. Foster talked to the Sisters of Mercy, but with a certain amount of reserve, Keeper Matthew Daly said to the RALD re- perter, while the Sisters were in conversation with the prisoner, ‘There never was @ better Delaved or more erderly man in the Tombs,’ A young fellow, confined for ten days, who was chepping ice tm the yard of the prison, echoed the onlalon of the keeper, ‘“He’a a good man, Foster; he oughtn’t to be Et eae Dr. Nealis, the Tombs physician, said:—“I hope he will get ® eommutation; he didn’t know what he was doing when he killed Putnam.” WAITING FOR TIDINGS FROM ALBANY. Up to seven o'clock last evening no information had been received from Albany that Governor Dix intended to commute Foster's sentence, and the probabilities are very slight that he will interfere with the execution of the law. STOKES. The HERALD reporter found Edwara 8. Stokes walking in the ay of the tmner prison, and spoke to him briefly. was in the cory of la Sheriff Shields. Since the decision of Judge Davis has been made Stokes is allowed to walk in the ard every day for exercise, and is now occupying iis old cell, on the second tier, which is fur- nisked with extreme neatness and cleanliness, but without any ostentation. Stokes is in good health, looking foot as well, if not better, than before his last trial. He appears to be in good spirits, founded on the general be- lief expressed by leading criminal lawyers of this city that the severe rulings of Judge Boardman against him willbe overruied by the Court of Ap- peais, and that that high tribunal will grant hima new trial. When informed of the rumors that there ‘was a possibility of a commutation of Foster's sen- tence, Stokes replied :— “Well, poor iellow, I hope he will get a commuta- tion, His fate is a very hard one.” THE GRAND JURY IN THE TOMBS. The Granda J yesterday made a thorough in- vestigation of the Tombs prisen. Eighteen mem- bers of the Grand Jury, under their foreman, Mr. Delavan, inspected “all the cells and the corriders in the risen, Warden Jehn- gon escorted the rand Jury throughout the gloomy preeincts under his charge. It would be premature to state as yet what the decision of this august body will be, as they have not yet come to any official conclusion. They found ali the ceils verp damp and very unwhoiesome, but very clean, to the eredit of Warden Johnson and his subordi- nates. ‘The Tombs, Itke Venice, is built on piles, and has five feet of water peace around joosely in its foundations. Naturally this creates a malaria, and the bad atmosphere produced by this dampness is the cause of sickness and disease among the pris- oners. All the oficiais, from the Warden down, are willing to see a new prison bullt ina more healthy location, and cannot be blamed for the hygiene of the Tombs, which is mot under their control. PANORMO'’S ASSASSINATION. Another Sensation in Brooklyn—The Confession of a Kings County Peniten- tlary Convict=—The Crime of Murder Acknowledged—His Confession, in Which He Denies Killing the Music Teacher. One. night, im the latter part of January, 1872, Pre- fessor Panormo, the Brooklyn tnueic teacher, while on hia way home from the house of # pupil, was felled by @ blow from the hand of an assassin, and died from the effect of his injury the following day. From that time te the present the police have been on the alert for bis murderer, and om two er three occasions they have been almost certain TUR GUILTY PARIY was within their clutches, A convict in the KingsCounty Penitentiary, who was convicted some months since for sneak thiev- ing, and whe is known by the name of John Sweeney, Is suspected, from some remarks which he has made, of being the person who sent the Professor to big grave. He talked about having been out one nigut om a burglarious tour with some of hig companions, and, by way of variety, knocked @ man on the head with a heavy club %o order an investigation into the mpmner lectins 06 Las Vs UOsde “| which he carried.

The weapon I used on this occasion was a club loaded with three or four eunces of lead. I saw an article in the aper that ho was found by an officer wandering delirious, w! id of h his head badly cut. later still that he. died in Bellevue Hospital trom a tured skull. This is @ true and candid statement of the whole affair. There were three others with me at the time of committing this affair. The name of ono was Weir. I don't know the names of the other two, but they are known by the appellations of Scotty and Cockney. Two of them are in State Prison, but Coc! ey is at large, JOON SWEENEY. SWEENEY'S PECULIAR IGNORANOR. Sweeney strongly protests that he knews nothin; Whatever about the murder of Panormo, and hi nothing whatever to do with it, and tho authorities have no positive evidence that he did. He was drunk at the time, and does not remember the date, He had no intention, he says, of killing the ao he struck. Sweeney continues:— here I went into stealing. I fell in with the ‘asitiscalled, That was about four years . It 18 a'sort of regular organization. I never knew them by any particular name, but they called thom the Silver They used to hai tin the First ward, Naw Vork. around West uud Greenwich streets. They generally inet at Mrs. Sterling's, in Greenwich strect, Mrs. Bterling did not receive stolen goods, ex- cept, perhaps, some of them nade her a present once in a Pile, ‘They always paid her for, their accommodations in money, “She didn’t know they stolc—at loust she never asked any questions, and they never told her a: thing. There was about’ twenty in the gang. Some that wasn’t good at stealing we used to let carry the goods. Iwas the leader of the gang. Idon’t know who leads it now. I don’t believe any member of that gang had anything to do with the Panormo case. It msto me that must have been done by some of the Sloaney gang, of which McLaughlin, whois now in Sinj Sing, was one. Some of the gang I ‘belonged to is at 31 Greenwich street, which is kept by some relation of Mra. Sterling, as I learned from a letter sent me here, Mra. Sterling's place ts moved now to No. 70 Greenwich street. T never lived at Mrs. Sterling’. I lived at 22 West street. O'Neil, who was one of the Silver gang, is in here on the saine charge as 1 am. Ithink Cookney's real name is King, Weir we used to call Peter. Cassidy, who sued Cuptain Ferry for false Imprisonment, 1 kuew by the name of Bushley.
