The 'Intelligence wasbroughtto New York yesterday. October 16, by the steamship Sootlo, on whioU vbsboI he died on Snnduy lust; from the effects ofa general debility which had foryears been manifesting itself. The deceased was born At Hudson, on March or Februrary 18, 1810 From the excellent notice given in tne ew York Evening Pout and from other sonroeswe we'glve. tho following' incidents of his life He (graduated at Yale College in Ills twentieth year. Ho then ohose the law for his profession and after being admitted to the bar entered into practice with Mr.

McKown, at Albany. In 18S8 he became a partner of Mr. Hamilton MT. Robinson. At this time his marked abilities had already attraotod attention.

i i i During tho President ial term of his fathor he visited England, 'where he was received at court with distinguished notice. Many of our readers will remember that in eonscqnence of these attentions ho received the name of frlnce John, which he retained for many years long after returning from Knrope, Mr. Van Ilnrcn married Miss Vanderpool, by whom lie became tho fffthcr of a daughter. Mrs. Van Unren died shortly ho never marriedagain.

Hesoonbecrme well known as a genial and accomplished man ot tho world, and alsn achieved ad lslingulsed reputation as law" yor. The part which ho tooltin tho trial of Doctor Houghton, afria. Big Thunder, the famed anti rent chieftain, his collision with tho opposite connsel.and the difficulty with Judge Ed. monds, carsod in tlicir timo no littlo comment. This was during Mr.

Van Buren 's occupation ofthoofiioe of Attorney General, to which he had been chosen in 1345. under tho admin iutra lion of Governor Silas right. Another intor Mt.inirciisc In which he was conoerned in thus desoribed In 1843, the atrocious murder of a family in Cayuga county, by William Freeman, a negro lust liberated from State prison, gavo tuo At tnr'ney General an opportunity to signalize himself, which was employed to the utmost William H. Seward, setting at nought tho pop ular sentiment against the v. retched culprit.

had volnnteercd to conduct his defense, and Mr. Van Buren managed the prosecution. The authorities on modical jurisprudence wero ex hanai ivolv cited bv Mr. Seward, auu iu over instance triumphantly controverted. The prisoner was convicted and sentenced but having been afterwards discovered to actually insane, was removed to the the State i i.noMn Asvlum.

where he died in a lew months. At this time Mr Van Buren was tho height of his reputation, and the carcc open before him seemed to promiso all that ambition could desire. In 1S4J, when tho great feud between the two nigs of the Democratic party had burst into rawn ramltv. John "Van Bnren becamo tnr leader, or one of the leaders, of the radical vision. The batiles betweun these suu partlei wero extremely bitter.

When tho "ISarnburn rs" finally seceded at tho Democratic Stuti Convention, it was with John Van Buren nt nt their head. It was then that a cull wa made for another convention, which met Herkimer, and repudiated the Syracuse nom inations. The nromincnt.pnrt taken by him at the Ctica convention, tho celebrated free soil movement, the results of which are felt to this day, and his speeches in New York and Mas sachusetts, firm an important part oi ino po litical history ot the North. In January, IMS. Van Buren transferred his residence ti New York city, and opened a lav office in part iwrshin with Mr.

Kobinson. Ho wns engaged l.y Mr. Edwin Forrest as counsel in the iuous divorce trlal.assoclated with Ogdon Hoff man. In 1S4 and Mr. Van Buren drew back from tha Whig Free Soil alliance with tin Barnburners, and finally repudiated Free Soil doctrines altogether.

He had risen with them and may be said to have fallen with his fulliiu off from them. After his endorsing the ex treme ro slavery Pierce policy, ho never re gained a commanding In position politics. Dn ring the war he "gcnorally supported tho gov. rrnmeut," although he frequently betruyei' "Democratic" sympathies, as In hU Cooper Institute speech and his support of Mayor Gun titer in 1883. As his health gradually failed, ho sailed last season for England, In company with lib dttugiiterand niece, the daughter or Smitl Van Boron, and wag apparently in the mosi robust health while in Scotland.

Tho tonr had boon concluded, and the party were returning home In the Scotia when he died. Man anecdotes aro current of Mr. Van Bu ren, Indication a shrewd humor and a bold preciation of life. Few men in this count had a more extended clrclo acquaintance, few men wore more beloved wi may add few' deserved 11 better. Phila.
