oievus. a requisition from the Governor of Meehusett lor the person of Stevens was handed me and put in my drawer. 'ahont a (brtnirht before his trial or sentence, which I understood Mr. Maiwell had received thence. 1 Wa never told that Y.

waa going to Albany, thomi I heard there wts somelhinf on foot, and I saw eertsin mysterious movements. I mentioned! lie matter to Mr. Hopsoa, and we wrote a letter to the Governor, Which Hays took to the steam rv.et, who saw inr. sm hoard Not hin ens seen of Mr V. until next week.

Henevereommnnicated to us his intention of going, but after hit Mum. ha came into the Office and said, bo von sent tha Mouisition I answered. Yes." II then said I the Governor would not grant the paidon. He told me afterwards he had written to the Governor to countermand bl request, when another application wss made to Gov. Tliroop.

This was alter Mra. Stevens bad lost her other money, nen i una ner i naa savea her 123, she replied that that had gone like her other, money. The Ileoorder knew of the requisition's being made I suspected that Mr. V. intended from the commencement to procure a pardon, and I ran swear that ka fenaur that iKam mmm aaAlliultif (nr Klavana in Ihe office, es be well knew be waa a Ingitive trom justice.

Stevens was not oommitted on the requisition, hut wss committed by Mr. Hopson on the affidavit of the injured party in Boston. Could not say that Mr. Valentine aaw tha requisition, nor that Mr. Wvratn saw it.

as net the requisition kept secret between you and Mr Hopson no. Stevens waa a nitnen igiinsi now nta and Sutton, who were convicted chiefly on his dts closure. Never spoke to tha Kecorder, and did not know that it was his intention that the requisition should operate. Jamas Wvman. Police Justice, sworn I under Mood there wes'e requisition lodged in the office, hich was transmitted to tha biecutiveai Ainany.

iwmra datlbeily being told it waa in the office, sent down by Ml. Maiwell, previous to the passingofthesentenee. It it my impression that Mr. V. went to Albany the ume day that Stevens was sentenced.

I may have expressed my disapprobation of. Mr. in having Mrs Stevens at his house. Jane Hopson, Police Justice, sworn The reqmsi tion wsa lodged in Ihe office before sentence v. as pissed oa8levens.

It was known lo every body, as there wss no eonoeslment of its being there. Cnies examined I took the advice of the Recorder, and locked it up in ihe desk. No entry was made of it on the books. Being apprehensive that censure would be thniwn upon me. 1 felt it mv dutv to communicate it to tha Governor.

Heard an application was to bemads for the pardon of Stevens, but knew not from what quarter If I had known that the application was raid by the Recorder, I should have hesitated before I acted. Never knew ol any developetnani being made by Stevens, but knew he was a witness against Holdgata and Sutton. Sent the requisition, under an idea Ihst improper attempts were made to obtain a pardon, ia relation to the second charge, of receiving money for rtcognvuxncft. Joseph M. Thomas, Police Officer, was railed A female prisoner, named Rosanna Harris, was committed to Bridewell, where she had been often before, and she was required to give security.

I sscertained she could not get bail, but she asked if money would answer. I madeenquiry of Mr. Valtntine.whoaid he would lake 100 in lien of it. I went and brought her out ol Bridewell by order of Mr. V.

and then went with ber to get the money. She conH raise only $90, and I returned to the office and told r. whocunclodrd to take that as security for her good behaviour for sit months. At the end of ths sir. months she applied for ber mo ney.end it waa Intimated to me there a muss about its not being paid back.

When I met Mr. V. 1 told him I would lend him the money to pay it, and he could pay me again in a lew days. I paid her and took a receipt. How long before Mr.

V. repaid you He has never paid me yet. When I asked Mr. V. about taking the money for security, be said at first he did not know wbe ther it would do.

Mr. Stephens recalled. The woman came into the office end demanded her money from me, saying she wanted it I then knew nothing of the mailer and asked i her who took it Sim said Mr. Valentine There was Do entry nor any memorandum of it on the bonk, hut opposite to ber name, it waa bailed." By the mles of the offloe, I am bound to keep all monies and to account for triem. Crossed examined, said ho ones be raise security fur a woman, who had no friends, on her given him an order on the Savings Bank, which he held and returned when the term of the security hsd expired, but never drew the money from the hank Never anew me oioer magistrate lane money tor nan uia the same once (or a sailor who had money, but no ao ouainiances.

Mr. Thomas further stated that the eighty dollars wis all in specie it was given to Mr. V. and put by him in the desk where be generally sits. By Aid.

beams For whom did you advance the money 7 Ans. For Mr. Valentine I was afraid of a muss Tk third chare Tiat Mr. Valentine did not account far feet recused. In support of this charge, Mr.

Stephens enumerated three case where the persons had been discharged from Bridewell, whom when he saw out, lie turned to the book in the office, and found the accounts open and no entry of any fees In the case of John B. Hibbatd, who waa committed to prison and discharged, there was no paper In Ihe office nor any evidenced any commitment. Mr. Hibhard testified that he was arrested upon a warrant for an assault battery and taken before Justice Valentine, about crock in the morning He obtained security and paid the fee, seven shillings, to Mr. V.

staled that in this case, there was neither complsint, re cognisance, nor any thing to be round on the books. In the case of Mary Adams, testimony to the like effect was aiven hv Mr. 8leDbens. and r. Collins, nnlice officer The papers weie finally obtained.but no foes paid Mr.

Collin staled be had several times lost his es, but through whose means, he da not know. Other leatimooy was adduced to prove that Mr. Va lentine had received fees for discharging persons from the Penitentiary in which cases, there were no psper returned to the office and no fees Question by Mr. Ste vens to Mr. Stenhene When persons are discharged fiximthePeoitetiUary.aretheresny legnlC estobetakeii?

No. Three other cases were enumerated and supported by aimila iMlimnnv Mr Rlanhaju muIm! that tui navap had to ask the other magistrates lor papers and lees and that he sua induced to notice the conduct of Mr. more particularly because the officers sometimes called ft their mm, staling the case bad been sett Jed by Mr. when the ease stood open on the books. The testimony of Mr.

Townsecd, assistant clerk, went to corrotxrate to testimony in the case oi Kosanna Hams. Here the District Attorney rested the prosecution.and the Court adjourned until half after 4 clock. When tha Court reassembled, Mr. Western opened the defence, and after a brief exordium, he proceeded to lead the affidavit of Justice Valentine in answer to the various charge and in explanation of the motives which bad governed him in his official conduct: It denied the charge of a neglect of duty, and as to the matter of fees, itavered it to be a trifling matter, amounting in the ag srieoate to onlr ten dollars. He insisted that by the te nor of the act appointing a Police Justice, any deficion cy amounted only to a legal dent, and was a mere mat ler of account between Mr.

V. and the Corporation. Tha ncornisanocs were returned to the Clerk of office. and there was ss good reason to believe lliey were lost by the Clerk, as by himself, and if found, they would show that the fees had been paid. In relation to the charge of retaining fee, Mr.

V. declared that in some of the cases complained ol, me lees nso oeen msrueo on a slip of paper and handed to the Clerk, who could never hod il though otten solicited and mat ine lent was insubordinate, making a demsnd often in a disrespectful manner. In reference to the charge of taking money in stead of rerognimnof s. it was averred that the money was repaid to Mrs. Harris, and was a matter oi account between Mr.

Thomas and himself. The charge of borrowing money from a prisoner, Mr. V. met, by affirming that he had deemed it his duty to cultivate a conG nance with John Stevens, for the purpose of bringing those to punishment that were most deserving of it and that his motives were for public good and not for hi private ends that Stevens hsd implored him I deposit his money in his hands for safe keeping, anal he should be relieved from prison that his wife waa not accessible, and that if the receipt used the word borrowed" it was iuadvertentlv nwm. tioned.

That a large portion of the money was spent lot Stevens's purposes That Mr. Maiwell waited on Steven and promised him he should not he iniund if be would make such disclosures, as would better pro mote the ends of Justice: by the apprehension snd con. viction of In most daring offenders, and that his interference was male in good faith and for iustiGihl nt.

Washinoton, Saturday Evening, May IS. 1830 Both houses have been in session nearly seven hours to day. In the House, the only interesting or important matter of the ordinary niorning business was the vote on consideration of Mr. Taliaferro's resolution, instructing the Committee of Wsys and Means to bring in a bill for reduring the salt duties. Had contiitralion been refused, this would have been equivalent to a decided negativeof the measure.

Th vote, however, was the other way ayes 90, noes 76. The House then went into committee upon the Indian bill, hen Mr. Storm look the floor, and occupied it until the adjournment, with an elaborate, ingenious, and eloquent speech, in opposition to the bill. In the Senile, tha pension bill from the House, providing for a number of revolutionary soldiers, was passed with many amendments after which the bill for subscription to the Maysville turnpike was taken up, opposed by Smith of S. and passed by a vole of '24 to 13.

As this is the first internal improvement question, in the simple form of money appropriation, unconnected with the purposes of war. revenue, or foreign commerce, or (a in th case of tha Cu.nbrland road) with former act or stipulations of the government, much interest is naturally eicited in regard to the President's decision upon it, as indicative of his future couise on similar measure. The Senate afterward went into executive business, and confirmed a number of nomination and promotions in the marine corps. The MaymUt Turnpike Road DM We refer our readers to the remarks of Judge Powers, of this state, on the bill for subscribing 150,000 in the stock of the Msysville and Lexington Turnpike Company. They will be found on our first page.

Judge Powers is the representative hi Congress from Cayuga district a mn of good sense and a clear head, as is sufficiently evident from th brief sketch of hi remarks on this measure. The Mrysville turnpike bill has now passed the Senate, as well a the House, under the name of a national mi' pravemmt. Yet the Maysville turnpike is only a road leading from one town in Kentucky to another town in Kentucky. It is no more a national improvement, than an ordinance to widen William stroet and after passing this bill, weshall not wonder if Cungress should under lake to regulate the ferry between New Yotk and Brook lyn or. at least, to build tha great bridge over the East river, talked of about a year since.

Ot all tlie internal Improvement project ever brought before Congress, we aro not aware of any which proceeded on so eilrcme principle as this of the Maysville turnpike road nor so mischievous and alarming precedent. At this rale. the U. Slate msy make turnpike roads between every town in the state of New York. In Ihe mean time, the extravagance of the various pro jects of internal improvement now before ihe nation, is well illustrated in the note to Judge Pdwert's remark.

The ardor for these schemes seems to have grown into a perfect mania, and if not checked, will lead to in immense waste bf national New Booki. Encyclopedia Americana Tlie third Volume of this valuable dictionary of arts, sciences, history, die. is just issued frctn the pre, and in the style of it mechanical execution and the quantity of it contents is about the same a the preceding portions of tlie work. Il contains above six hundred closely printed pages in double columns, A the title of more thin fourteen hundred article are given in the index. The vol ume commence with the article, Catholic Epiitlet, and terminate with a biographical sketch of Cranmer.

We have looked through thi volume very cursorily, here and there perusing an article on some of the lighter to pic. Though such a hasty examination does not afford ground of positive commendation, yet it is but just to say that from the portions we have read infer that the wovk ha suffered no declension in merit, but that it continue to deserve the approbation to which the part previously published are to well entitled. It seems to us, however, that the learned editor of ibis Encyclo paedia does not always keep in view the limits which he prescribed for himself in the outset for as yet, although three volumea are published, the letter is not finished snd at this rate it would at least require twenty volumes to complete the design, iustead of twelve, pro posed. Thebulk to wh ich the work no iv threa tens to el 1 might materially kept down by the omission of that portion of the biographical article which tresis of per sons still living nor do we think that the merit of the Encyclopedia would at all suffer by this tctrenchment. It is not a book intended for present reference only, but designed to be permanently useful; and though many of it article must, in the nature of things, soon beoome either very imperfect or wholly obsolete, by reason of new improvement in art, new discoveries in science, and new events in politics, yet there is no reason that this part of th content should be augmented by arti cles liich must of necessity in short lime cease to be regarded as authentic.

A correct biography of living persons, even of those whose time is passed in literary seclusion and philosophic pursuits, is not easily obtain ed; for there are none whose actions enmity doe not misrepresent, or prejudice misjudge, or friendship ovei praise. If thi i true of the retired scholar, how much more forcibly will it apply to those who mingle in, or control affairs most likely to arouse passion, snd excite animosity By the omission of the biographies of liv ing persons from the Encydopadia Americana, il seems to us that the value of the dictionary would be increased, inasmuch as it would afford the editor more space to treat of matter of greater importance, without the work (much exceeding the number of volume con leniplaied io the prospectus. Among the article which we have rend io the present volume of the Encyclopedia is the one on the subject of copyright, wiih most of the view eipressed in which, our own concur. That feature in our law it complained of having an unjust operation, by which an abridgement of a work is put on the same footing a the original work itself. This regulation certainly ha a tendency Io prejudice the right of authors, who are liable to have the most valuable fruits of their talent and labor taken from them, and given to th public in a shape most likely to meet with a rapid and extensive sale.

Washington Irving was compelled to prepare as abridgement of hia lafe of Columbia order to prevent lbs profit of his kbor from being diverted into the hands of some piratical abridgement maker. The article in tha Encyclopedia comment with very great jostle on the inequality in th bearing of the copyright law of this country, which extends to suihors lh exclusive privilege ofpublisliing.forthaaame term, whether th woik be a pamphlet or a folio whither It be ephemeral in it nature and calculated to have a rapid ale, or work of great labor and research, intended to be permanently useful, and not likely to meet with a rapid circulation. Though thi inequality is certainly objectionable, inasmuch the duration of copyright a fixed by outlaws is amply sufficient for some works, nd entirely too short fur others, yet it would be diffi cult to hit upon a period lhat ould not be liable to ob jections of equal weight nor do we see thst lb allow. ing a man tlie exclusive property in his own book during his life, which is recommended in the Encyclbpssdia, is less liable toobjection thin the present plan. The following instances of large price paid for copy ricbts are given in th article before u.

This work i copied from the fourth London edition in quarto, in which the author ha introduced a number of improvements on his urigi nal plan, besides many additional words, and many judicious alterations in his illustrations of the variation and ad of difference in their definitions and applira lions.

He that puts not constantly," says an old En gliihiutbir, "ihe semesign for the same idea, but ies ihe am w.mls sometimes in one, and sometimes in another signification, ought to past for no fairer a uiso, than hedoe in the market dt exchange who sell several thing under the itme name." Locke, in a like manner, in his chapter on Ihe abuse of words, remarks that, "words being in tended for signs of my ideas, to make them known to others, no by any natural signification, but by a volun tary imposition it is plain cheat and abuto, when I make them stand sometime for one thing and some time for another; ihe wilful doing whereof can be im puted to nothing but great folly, or greater dithunctty and a man, in hi account with another, may, with as much faimiws, make the character of numbers stand ometimei for one, and sometimes for another collection of units, as iu li discourse or reasoning to make the am words stand for different collections of simple ideas." They ho would void this kind of dishonesty wbodtwire to have their conversation and writings distinguished by the most infallible mark of a correct scholar and accurate thinker, a nice and discriminate use of words should embrace the opportunity now of fered.to poee ibemwlves.at a moderate price of a Deal ly printed copy of Crabbe book on English Syno nymes.

Moritt't Mythology A translation of Moritit' 1(1 thological Fictions of Greece and Rome has just appear ed in this city.

We have looked it ovar, and find it a very ingenious and well arranged compend of tlie history of th deities and demigods ofantiquity. The ruble of old beautiful a they are, coutalu. often much impurity a leaven of the rude and barbarous age which preceded Greek and Roman eiviliialion, clinging to ihe elegant and live'y imaginations by which tfuy were created. In a book intended for the use of schooli of both soles, it is obvious that these fictions should not be given ilh the revolting accompaniments which are sometimes found in the writers of antiquity. The author of th work before us has managed this par of bis task with dexterity snd delicacy, admitting nothing which might shock Ihe most fastidious.

The mere stri king and beautiful parts of mythological history art dwelt upon, and the relation of thi system to natur and morals are often philosophically and skilfully deve loped. The woik has been translated by Mr. Jueger, a Gorman scholar, who visited this country a few yean since, snd who version ha been revised by a clergy man of this city. The German idioms hivh, a a matter of course, had crept into the translation, have been corrected. There is.

From Pottrau Pnnct. The Journal of Commerce of this morning gives the following extract from Le Telu raphe, a Haytioti paper It doe not appear that any treaty 1 been annulled, as stated in a paragraph copied by us from thnt paper of yesterday, but that the negotis tioni fur a commercial treaty have come to an end fur the present. The negotiation entered into with France in Apnl of 1 I nn. issiiyear, were nronenon on me zJd oi juarch. A treaty of friendship and commerce on term of perfect reciprocity had been agreed upon without difficulty but belor signing, it wa required that some mode should be ngreerj upon for liquidating the debt to France.

All the sacrifices consistent with the national honor and th resources of he republic were consented to, but in order to the payment of th debt, it was necessary to obtain ume lucilitie which the French Commissioner were not itiihorised to giant. This alone produced the issue we hive mentioned. Nevertheless the Government, al ways persevering mill wbirb concerns the great notional interest, hss despatched a commissioner to Paris, charged to accomplish there what has faded here. Afler the conciliatory disposition manifested by Hi Most Christian Majesty, there i good reason to expect that this step will bring about the must satisfactory result."

Mr.

Home of the new crop ofCbili wheat had arrived at Lima the quality wat eicellent. A cbnnse, it was thought; would soon take piece in the Administration. The Pjesident (GomarraJ had grown verv unoonular.

A decree hss been issued lhat (II Foreigners should remove from Ihe interior of fern to the fV Coast, and leave tiie Sons of the Country (Ildoa del Pais) to theei. elusive enjoyment ol the trade ol Iho interior. There was a rumor, ttml even those residing in the City ol Limn, would bo embraced in the dvcreo and ordered to Callao. The Custom House had been removed from Lima to Callao theday before the Dolphin left, which would give Irian emDarrassiiients to ine merciiams. It was said that Commercial Treaty would be greed upon between Chili and Peru, by which one country ws to allow ihe import, doty tree, of the pro ducts of the other.

The Colombian Miniiter hid been very urgent for the adjustment of th claim of hi Government against Peru hut was answered with so little satisfaction, that it was said he had determined ou quitting the country.

When learning of the arrival of Ihe frigate Colombia, at Guayaquil, from Polio Cnvallo, he Concluded to await her convoy to Caliao and the Peruvian Government were not without apprehension, that, wilh this additional naval for. of the Colombians, they would endeavor to oblige them promptly to fulfil the atticloa of the treaty.

Frevre. at the head of about lUJOmen, was about to march from Coquimbo to tsanliago, tnlorm a junction with Colonel Topper, and attack the force of General Prieto, about K00 strong This would probably settle the contest, and leave the country again in quiet but il would be a long time be fore business could recover bum the shock given to it and confidence restored.
