not be disposed to UMcde to tbo perfbnnaiioe of those of the Celestial Court which are likely to place Item in a degrading position. BwtiUm these difficulties, tho stipulation of treaty, which provides that a British minister shall be resident at lutein, will put the onorgusH and firmness of lir. Bruce and do Bourboulon to tho utmost test Up to tho time of tlio departure of the mail, uo uitolli geucc had reached Shaughuc of tlio movement of the ex Mditlou, not uvea the fltrt that the piaco ot rendexvous had been reached tiy the squadron; but as tan days, the tins' in which they ought to have reachetl the mouth of Ihe.Pidho, had elapiod, it wes concluded that they had suiKal up the liver Without molestation. The A'tilth China lir aid, commenting on this groat event, doporturo of the Plenipotentiaries of England, franco and America for I'ekin, for tho purpose ol'cxatiangiug at the eaint.il tlie ratified treaties obtained irom Uie Emperor of China Just twelve months ago, is an unprecedented lustorlcal event tiiat we must place on record. It Is commencement de la fin, tho leading to the consummation of that great change in the (sihey of this proud government that it is designed to uudergo.

Driven from every disputed point by tho allied forces of ttigland and Franco, until tho treaties wore ultimately signed at Tientsin, China must now relinquish its last hold, and admit, as friends, into the Ta or "(treat Interior," otherwise called the Ibz Kyin tshun, or "Vermilion Forbidden City," tho burbartaus who have dictated tonus to her. We were slow to endorse the opinion, now generally held, that tho cortego will proceed without interruption to the Northern capital. We have only yielded on seeing tho foroo which Rngland sends to support hor minister in llis negotiations, convinced that such a demonstration, with the experience the Chinese already have of Its power to act, if necessary, is tho host guarantee for peace. The force which attends tlio mission would, wo should thick, secure the peaceful entry of tho parties into tho capital; but when tiio unwelcome visiters proceed to business, and an interview is demanded between the Emperor and the ministers representing their respective sovereigns, then will the artfulness and finesse of these accomplished dissemblers come into action, and the odds will he against us. Indeed, we do not see how, with all the firmness wo expect to find In Mr.

Bruco, it will be possible to get over the excuse that the Emperor is too siclc to receive them, unless it lie by waiting until ho recovers or dies. From private sources wo learn that the Chinese at Shanghae arc of opinion that ail will not go on smoothly with the embassies, and even somo of tho European residents anticipate a row. Every one believes that tho Russians are intriguing against us. Some recollect how they made a tool of the last American Minister, and are anxious to know how the new one will get on. There is a rumor at Shungliue tbut the most important article in the treaty? that providing for a permanent embassy at Pekin, is already given up.

This is not looked on as very favorahio for our futuro movement, soring that tho Russians have had one there so loug, and is thought to bo a further radi cation of their endeavors to keep us out of the Celestial capital; in fact, it is expected by seme that the whole treaty, except those parts which tell against us, will become a dead letter. Interesting from Japan. from the Paris Pays of August 25 lor llio N'gw York Hkilild.J Wo have news from Japan dated on the 5th of June.

The difficulty which arose some timo since between the United States Consul anil the Jajianesc government has oom amicably settled.

The United Stab Consul hail not answered that proposition when the discoverer abandoned his claim to the property of the ground, and demanded to lie allowed to work the mine, on condition of dividing with the Japanese government the proceeds of it. This transaction was accepted, and thus the difficulty wax settled. Evcrv one praises the moderation which tho Emperor has shown in his matter.

Opening of the Fall To day the different millinery and dressmaking establishments throw open their doors to all comers, and display the results of their combined taste and experience in order to attract customers. As every other department cf business has received an impetus this season, it is not wonderful that the "opening" to-day is expected to bo more than ordinarily brilliant and attractive. The prejiarations have been made on a scale of unusual magnitude, and we have no doubt the crowds will be something immense. The Fall opening has tho advantage of taking place just when our fusliionables return from the watering places, anxious for something new, and fully determined that, as far as they are concerned, the coming season shall eclipse all that went before It. This is the fitting spirit in wliicta to "assist" at an opening, for around and about these rooms hover recollections and anticipations of winter balls and concerts, sleigh rides anil skating different styles and colors come under review; and wc have no doubt that this institution owes its favor as much to the pleasure it affords the imagination as to the gratification it yields the eye and teste.

It is said by those who understand these matters that simplicity is not going to be thp order of the bonnets will bo as small and crinolines as largo as ever. However, to-day Fashion will publish her dictum, and by to-morrow every one may bo well informed. Ono thing, howovor, wo know in advance, and that is, that drosses will bo more costly this season than ever, and that magnificence will be the characteristic of femenino attire. This ono great fact understood, tho minor details are of comparative unimportance, for they depend in a great measure on individual taste. There is one thing connected with these openings that deserves especial mention, and that is, how steadily they go on progressing from year to more democratic and wide spread every season, and giving festive look to streets that formerly heard of hut never saw an opening within their bounds.

A few years ago this jierindical excitement was confined to Broadway and a few other streets, but now it has extended on both sides of the great thoroughfare, nx will be seen by our advertisements, and has even renchod our neighboring city of Brooklyn. Wo should not be surprised to find a short time hence that Williamsburg and Jersey City had openings of their own, and we have no doubt that Hoboken's being now raised to the dignity of a city, with a Mayor and Common Council, will in due course reach the climax of sell-assertion by proclaiming its independence of New York fashions, and patronise its own exhibitions of spring and autumn fashions. Since tho openings have become democratic some modistes have relinquished the pructicc altogether, and exhibit their goods merely to their own customers. Others, desirous of preventing their styles being copied, admit only such visiters as they imagine have no business interest in the opcningR, rigorously excluding all that they suppose have any stronger motive than curiosity. We believe this does not apply to country milliners, however, who cannot enter into competition with those in the city trade, and who therefore are not open to the game objections.

New York is to the country what Paris is to New York, and tho milliners from our neighboring cities who visit the metropolis at this season generally lay in a supply of goods aswell as patterns, and contribute not a little to swell the tido of business that sets in periodically, and which promises this season to be tho very highest kind of a spring tidB. In fact, the prospects of business were never more gratifying than at present, and the most hopeful feature connected therewith iR that it is not confinod to one department of business, but extends to all. The Courtesies of the Sea. TO THE EDITOR OP THE HERALD. Nsw York, Sept.

21, 1R50. In your edition of Tuesday last 1 noticed an article under tho above heading, relating to the ship WobBter, signed by a person calling himself master of the ship Shepherd h'napp, which he may bo nominally, but from the proceedings on board of his ship 1 do not think he wub actually. The case stands ship, which I suppose was the Shepherd Knupp (although I do not know), approached the Webster at sea, running her Jib boom nearer ton fco than 100 of the Webster's stern, with from 100 to 20) people, more or on her deck, who were hooting, yemng and screaming. Amidst the noise and yells I heard some one hailing, "Capting, where you anil altorwards hailed again twice or thrice; all of which id not condescend to notice, because I considered ties of the very commonest kind, and anything "courteous," which lie writes so much about I agree with Mr. George 11.

Zork in his remarks re pec ting the "courtesies" due from ono to another at sea and think that he had bettor exhibit some of them when he falls in with another ship. I am willing to admit that 1 am "one wliose self-importance is so great that he will net condescend to notice" the very common civilities of the sens as they wore displayed by him If the above person had exhibited Hie smallest 'part of the courtesy which rliaractofizes tho distinguished gentleman after whom his ship has the honor to bo named, lie would havo got answers to all hl.x bailings, if they had been fifty. As he appears desirous to see liis name in print before tho public, and I unfortunately have no ambition in that way, you will not hear any further from me on the Subject. J. J.

Recovery of 020,000 in Horses, Jewelry, die. THE MODUS OPERANDI OF THE DEFAULTER. Ac. Another of those startling bank defalcations which form a part ol the history or modern society was mado public yesterday morning, and created quite a sensation in commercial circles, as well ns among tho celebrities of the tx.au mondc, to iqhicb, it appears, the defaulter in tho pre sent instance is well known, having within tho last few years cut quite a dash in tho most recherche society of Fifth avenue, and rivalled tho most extravagant in tho splendor of his carriages and the quality and speed of his richly caparisoned horses. Mr.

'William J. Lane, is the namo of tho pcrRon who has created this excitement, and the Fulton Bank is institution which has suffered by his operations, admittedly to the amount of some $01,000, but supposed in reality to bo double that sum, as it is expected will bo proven on tho crimminal investigation, which will take placo in the course of a few days. The accused is a young man of One appearance, twentyeight years of age, and son of tho voncrablo and much respected who for more than a quarter of a century has been cashier of the Fulton Bank, who, it is said, is overwhelmed with grief and shame at the discovery of his son's actions. The story of the young man's conduct has been told over land over again in the case of former individuals, whoso deeds, for years hidden in tho prol'oundest myRtcry, were finally blazoned before the world in tho newspapers anil formed the groundwork of innumerable ser mons. The leading tacts relative to this embezzlement, so far as our reporter was enabled to collect them, are as William J.

lane, the accused, has been employed as transfer and foreign note clerk in tho Fulton Bank for the last Tour years, at a yearly salary or one thousand dollars. At the time he first assumed the important duties incident to this position, and, in fact, for tlio two first years of his service, all went on well, and Lane was looked upon as one of the most faithful and efficient clerks in the establishment; but from that date to tho time of his arrest he appearB to hovo changed. In an unfortunate hour he made, it is said, the acquaintance of a lovely young girl of eighteen years, living in West Nineteenth street, with whom, it is alleged, he immediately became desperately enamored, though himself a married man, and having for a wife a woman of great beauty and accomplishments. From that fatal moment it is charged tliut his career of dishonesty is supposed to begin, though it is said to be quite possible that frauds may have dated from the first year of his clerkship. To appear to advantage before the new object of his aflec tions he must have more ready cash at his disposal than tho paltry stipend allowed by his employers, aud so it is supposed uulawful sources are looked for.

His position as clerk under his father afforded him ample facility for the indulgence of his guilty extravagance, and so the first faux pan it is suspected was mado, and a small amount is abstracted from the coffers of the bank, with which he was enabled to purchase for his mistress a handsome present as a slight token of his affection. The old story is said to ice once broken, the first evil act successfully achieved, there iR no more hesitancy in repeating, and Uie blind victim hurries on to hiR doom. The motitis operandi which 1-ane, is charged with adopt, ing is Bald to have been is charged with representing to his father that he was the agent of A. B. Dean A of New Jersey, and pretended to collect bills receivable in Boeton, Philadelphia and Baltimore.

These bills it is supposed ho would enter on tho books of the bank, to tho credit of his father, aud when they were supposed to bo realized, receive his father's checks on the Fulton Bank for tho proceeds. To prevent any alRcrcpancy from occurring, it is supposed ho made fictitious accounts current with the bank in neighboring cities, which, iu his capacity as clerk, enabled him to forward substitute accounts for those furnished by the general bookkeeper. He would sometimes leave actual bills receivable unchanged for a few days, sufficient to cover the deficiency, which would otherwiso be. shown. In this waytLane may ve boon enabled to gratify his extravagant tastes by keeping a mistrcBS in magnificent style, and sporting fine horses and equipages on the avenues.

Beginning with small embezzlements, he may have gradually become emboldened and plungod into frauds by wholesale, ne rented the house No. West Nineteenth street in which Miss liis alleged mistroBs, dwelt, and paid therefor the round sum of $1,000 annually. This mansion ho had fitted up In the most gorgeous manner, and therein he kept his fair is said with the knowledge of the mother, who lived with her some $3,000, or more probably, for the expenses. The most fashionable establishments on Broadway were ransacked, it is said, to obtain rare diamonds and costly jewels for the adornment of his fair one's person and Lane, it is now alleged, might often be seen in compatiy with the partner of his guilt, driving on the Bloomingdale road, and outshining almost all in the splendor of his turnout. It is stated ho had a livery establishment in avenue, in which he kept four splendid steeds, which cost upwards of $6,000, and also several carriages, with harness and trimmings te match.

To divert suspicion from himself a friend pretended to be sole proprietor of this luxury, hut Izmo, it is alleged, waB the owner de facta, or at least the partner, lane also sileuced all suspicion, whenever It was hinted that he was spending more money than his salary as clerk would warrant, by giving out that he was recciv ing a handsome remuneration for his New Jersey agency, and that he realized considerable by employing his leisure hours as a bookkeeper. He also, it is said, dabbled in lotteries. He admitted to the officer who arrested him that ho expended $1,000 one day for lottery tickets, and for two whole weeks he allowed himself no less $260 per diem for the same purpose. He says he was an extensive loser, having drawn but once a prize, which was worth $3,000. As illustration of his extravagance It is asserted that a few weeks ago ho had $10,000 in cash, hut at the time of hiR arrest not, a cent of this remained, and he was unable to say how ho had disposed of it.

On'last Monday the complaint against lane by Mr. Joseph Kernochan, Presid. ot the hank, and officer King, of the Lower Police Oiurt, arrested the accused immediately after tho closing of the hank. He was taken before Mr. Kernochan aud Boards of Directors, and seeing it was idle to liido his fraud any longer, confessed, his guilt immediately.

The officer then went with him to the home of his mistreFs, West Nineteenth street, where $7,000 worth of diamonds and jewelry wore surrendered to the officer by the lady at the request of her fallen paramour. These ualuables consisted of a diamond cross, which cost $1,000, a pair of gold bracelets worth $470 each; tlvo beautiful diamond rings, two pairs of diamond ear-rings, a gold watch and other articles of smaller value. On yesterday afternoon the officer visited No. 98 Fourth avenue, and seized a trunk belonging to I-one, containing drafts, securities and other documents of the bank. The horses and carriages of the accused were also put in tho sare keeping of tho authorities, and altogether about $20,000 worth of tho alleged dishonestly earned wealth lias been recovered.

The prisoner Is at present occupying one of the square apartments at the Tombs. Hisfather, it is said, is bondsman for his son to tho amount or $10,000, and the bank holds his checks for the amounts drawn from it upon tho fictitious securitis He, therefore, will be the greatest loser by his son's operations. He Is now in "the seer and yellow leaf," being seventy years of age, nearly half or which he has boon cashier of tho hank. The accused takes his fate quite coolly and docs not seem to have a doubt respecting his acquittal. Court of General Sessions.

Before Judge Russell. Fkpt. after the City Judge took his seat upon the bench, he sent fur the Jury who tried Robert Churchill and Henry Burns, on a charge of forgery in tho second degree, he having locked them up for the night at the adjournment of tho Court on Tuesday. Tho foreman stated that it was impossible for them to agree upon a verdict, after which the Judge discharged them from tho further consideration of tho case, it was understood that there were eleven for acquittal and one for conviction. Tho trial ol' Carlo Manetti, tho Italian, charged with stabbing a man named Breen, in Baxter street, was resumed.

THE HARDEN WIFE POISONING CASE.

Trial of Row. Jacob 8. Harden lbr Uw Harder of Hit of a Haterial Trial Poetponed. WAHHKN COUNTY, N. COURT OFOYER AND TERMINER.

Before Judges Murphy, Sharp, Moore and Davklsou. spccul report for thk iirraij). Brlyipkrr, N. Sept. Tbo trial of Re.v.

Jacob S. Harden for tho murder of his wife, Hannah Louisa Harden, at Andersoutown, in March lust, by the administration of arsenic, commences in this handsome little vllage of about 1,0.0 inhabitants to-day. It muy not be amiss to refresh the recollection of your readers with a brief history of the case. The prisoner, Jacob Snover Harden, was born In Blairstown, Warren county, in April, 1837, and in consequently in tho twenty-third year of his ago. His father, John a well to do farmer, a highly respected citizen, and an influential member of tho Methodist church.

Dp to the time of his removal to Andcrsoutowu, Jacob had always lived at home under parental control, aud bore an excellent character. Ho was from a boy considered "set in his way," and a certain degree of vanity and sclf-sultlciency of manner prevented his society from being much Bought after. At a very early age bo Joined tho church of which his father is a member, and at nineteen years of ago began to preach. At the timo of tho alleged poisoning, ho had been for somo timo officiating as pustor of tho church at Anderson town, but had not been regularly licensed by tho Methodist Conference. He was on probation is the Conference, and expected his license at Its next session.

His education is limited to what may bo acquired from a common school in tho country; but ho pomessed spmo natural ability, and woa a very fluent and energetic speaker. His unfortunato wife was tho daughter of Mr. Samuel Borland, a neighbor of his father. She was about his own age, and they grew up together as playfellows and schoolmates. She is described as handsome, virtuous and amiabiu in disposition, and was greatly beloved by all her acquaintances.

A year or two before Mr. Harden began to officiate as pastor of the Methodist church at Dorland, who is a Presbyterian, removed with hia family to that town from Itlairstown. Miss Borland soon after joined tho Methodist church, the young pastor of which renewed his acquaintance, with her, at length became very intimate, and Anally marriage. There are widely conflicting statements in regard to the circumstances of the marriage, which, however, the evidence on the trial will probably clear up. On the one hand it is alleged that Harden sought to break hia engagement, but was prevented by the interference of the authorities of the church.

On the other hand this is totally denied, and the fact that Harden and his wife lived happily together is pointed to as disproving tho story. At this timo Harden boarded at the house of a Mr. Ramsey, near Alienstowu, and there, it is stated, became quite intimate with Miss Smith, a vivacious young laity, of very attractive personal appearance. His. acquaintance with this young lady is assigned as the reason why ho desired to break his engagement with Miss Borland.

The marriage took place October 28,1858. Harden took his wife first to his father's house, where she remained several weeks; tlieu to her own father's, where she stayed a considerable time longer, and Anally, at the request of Mr. Durland, lie took her to Ramsey's, where he was boarding. Here, it is asserted, Mrs. Harden learned or suspected that her bus band was too well acquainted with Miss Smith, and a great deal of domestic infelicity succeeded.

About tho let of March last Mrs. Harden, whoso hoalth had always been good, was taken suddenly ill, and on tho9th of March she died with every indication of acute arsenical poisoning. Hardens strange conduct during her illness, and his anxiety to hasten the funeral, led to suspicion, and a coroner's inquest was held. The inquest was held in private, and its proceedings have never been published. Its Investigations continued several days, and finally resulted in a verdict to the effect that Mrs.

Hardcn's death was produced by arsenic administered by her husband. Harden was examined as witness at the inquest, aud it is alleged testified that bis wife bad told him she intend ed to take poison, and made him promise never to reveal the fact unless it was necessary in order to save his life. The day before the verdict was rendered, Harden, who had in the. meantime disposed of most of his property, suddenly disappeared. He was subsequently traced to Eiizabethtown, to New York city, to Philadelphia, and finally heard from somewhere in the northern part of tho State of New York, aud there all trace of him was lost.

Copies of a daguerreotype likeness led behind him were taken and distributed ail over the United States, together with the proclamation of the Governor of New Jersey, offering $500 reward for his apprehension. In April last he was recognised by means of one of these likenesses at Fairmount, a little village near Wbooltrtp, where he was engaged in thn dagnnrrcotvpo business under tho assumed name of Austin. At flrst be strenuously bis identity, but when confronted with bis likeness, ho confessed that ho was the man, but has ever since protested bis innocence of tho crirao charged against him. He was forthwith brought to this village, which is the sliire town of Warreu county and lodged in jail. At tho last term of the Court he was arraigned on an indictment of four counts charging htm with the administration of arsenic on the first of March last and on other days up to the 9th.

A preliminary motion to quash was argued aud overruled, the prisoner pleaded not guilty, and the trial was set down for this day. Harden's deportment iu Jail has been unexceptionable. His parents, brother and sister, visit him frequently, and he spends most of bis time in singing, praying and' reading. He is an excellent singer. The most intense interest is manifested in the trial.

The village is thronged with country people, and apparently nothing else is talked of or thought of than the trial of Harden. The counsel engaged in the cause are, for prosocution, Hon. L. Dayton, State Attorney General; Joseph Vlict, District Attorney for Warren county- for defence, ex Chancellor Benjamin Williamson, Jehlcl G. Sliipmau, and David A.

Depue, Esq. The State has already summoned seveutv-tive witnesses and thrdefcnco fifty-three; aud the general opinion is that the trial will last two or three weeks. THE WITNESS ABSENT. Sett. court opened at eleven o'clock this morning? the little court room, capable of holding five or six hundred persons, being crowded to its utmost capacity.

A dozen ladies bail seats in the gallery, among whom were the mother and sister of thn deceased Mrs. bitter a very good looking young girl, said to bear a remarkably close resemblance to her dead sister. The Court was opened in the usual manucr, and a Grand Jury empannollod for thn term. The Court (Judge Whelpley) stated that he was not aware of any business for the Grand Jury having arisen since last term, ami there was nothing requiring a special charge. The Court appointed as foreman Mr.

Daniel Acksford, and the Grand Jury retired. The petit jury were then called, including an extra panel of forty-eight "summoned for this trial. Two jurors being over tho age of sixty-five years were excused. Several motions and applications were heard, occupying above an hour, and meanwhile the crowd iu tbo court room grew more and more dense. At half past twelve o'clock, tho preliminary business being ended.

Judge Whelpley remarked that it was too late to begin the trial this forenoon, and cautioning jurors to be punctual, adjourned the court till two o'clock P. M. The Court was at ten minutes past two o'clock. A heavy rain was falling, but the crowd within the court room was, If possible, more compact than in the forenoon. Judge Whelpley, referring to the crowd, remarked that it was apparent that this room was entirely too small for the transaction of the public business consistently with tho health of bench, bar and all in attendance.

He hopod the Hoard of Chosen Freeholders would take notice of the fact and furnish enlarged accommodations, for certainly the county of Warren was able to afford it. Dr. James R. Chilton was called, but did not respond. Mr.

Vlict stated that he bad given Dr. Chilton careful directions about the trains from New York, and he had promised to be here promptly; but he was afraid he had taken the wrong train or bad been left. After waiting sometime, lie said in the absence of so important a witness the Plate did not feel prepared to move on the case this afternoon, and ho would ask for a postponement till to-morrow. Mr. Dayton said if Dr.

Chilton were an ordinary witness he would not hesitate to go on; but his imimrtant evidence could not be supplied, aud he must ask for a jwotponorocnt. Judge case will stand over, then, until to-morrow morning at nine o'clock. Tho Court charged all the witnesses to be punctual in their attendance to-morrow, and advised the prosecution to communicate with Dr. Chilton at once, by express or telegraph. Pome other business was transacted, aud the Court adjourned until nine o'clock to-morrow.

SECOND DAV. Bn.ru none, N. Sept. 21.1859. The trial of Harden will not be commenced this week.

There wns no intelligence this morning from Dr. Chilton, of yunr city, the chemist, whoso evidence seems to bo necessary to establish the fact that any murder at all has been committed. The Court took up a civil case on the calendar, and the wholo forenoon was occupied in hearing a dry argument about re-opening a judge' mont. It was confidently expected that Dr. Chilton would arrive at noon, and tho fact was to be announced by the ringing of the Court House bell The noon train arrived, however, bringing neither Dr.

Chilton nor any news from him, and tho Court adjourned to two M. Various rumors and surmises were current in the village, among others that Dr. Chilton had sailed for Europe, and that ho had been sent to CaliforniaDlt. CUII.TON'b ILLNESS ANNOUNCED, On the reassembling of the Court in tho afternoon, Attorney Central Dayton rose and May it please the very much re gret to say to tho Court that the State is not prepared to move tho case of Harden, at this time, owing to the absence of a very important witness who had been suddenly taken Chilton, of New York city, the chemist who was relied upon to make an analysis of the contents of the stomach and other organs of the deceased Mrs. Harden.

Your Honors will at once see that this is testimony of a character that wo could not well dispense with, and that cannot be supplied from any source other than tno chemist himself. It is due to Dr. Chilton to say that yesterday ho, or rather his son, Washington Chilton, for htm, telegraphed to the prosecutor in this case as Nkw York, Sept. 20, 1S59. To Joseph Vliet, District Chilton is sick in bed.

He wrote to you to-day. WASHINGTON CHILTON. We despatched a messenger to New York yesterday af term ton, after the adjournment, in accordance with the instruction of the Court, and from that messenger we this mornlug received this Nkw York, Sept. 21.1859. 1 have soon Dr.

Chilton, but he Is sick. J. WILSON. The letter referred to in the llrst despatch I hold iu my head. It is written by Washington Chilton, and listed read the letter, whkh states ihatDr.

Chilton is oooflned to his bed by severe illness" that bo bad cyerythmg prepared, and f-xnected to leave tho city that morning, according to his agreement, but was taken 111 on Sunday evening, and was ao much worse on Thursday that medical aid was necessary. The lotter adds that tie was easier that morning, but bis physician had urohibited his leaving the house that day. He hoped 10 be able to travel in a day or two, and requested to be informed as early as possible what disiwsition would bo niade of the case. That explains the absence of this witness, and under the circumstances the Stale cannot foel authorized to move tho case at this time. Wo have in our possession, howovor, a written statement jf the result of his analysis, and as wo understand all parlies aro anxious to have the trial proceed without un necessary delay, we propose that if the counsel for de Tehee will consent toliave that written statement put in -vidence in lieu of the testimony of Dr.

Chilton. Should iie be unable to get here, we will move the case Immediately; otherwise we must ask the Court for a postponoKx Chancellor WilliamR Raid it was true the defendant was ready for trial, and any delay would be extremely oainful to himself and his friends. Yet it was a case involving human life, and lie could not lie expected lo assent lo the proposition to admit this paper until he had soeu it. Judge is at the service of counsel. Mr.

without a full consultation with mv colleagues, lie proceeded to remark that he, thought iherc was no probability of his consenting to admit tho paper, but if, under the circumstances the prosecution would submit it, they would hold a consultation. Judge Whclpley remarked that the prosecution did uuitc right in making the offer, and tho defence wore quite right in declining it. Everything might hinge upon this part of the testimony, and If any portion required the sanction of an oath it would seem to that.

City Politics. YOUNG MEN'S REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE. This body hold a mooting last night at their headquarters, No. CIS Broadway, S. B.

Butcher in the chair. On motion of Mr. McCloud, of the Sixteenth ward, tho usua' routine business of the committee was dispensed with to hear the report of the Committee on Public Meetings. The Chairman submitted the report, and read extracts from letters from the various candidates for State patronage who had boon invited to attend tho meeting, some of whom excused themselves from the honor, and others promising to be present. The committee submitted resolutions endorsing the State nominations made by the republican Convention at Syracuse, and concluding by reasserting the endorsement of certain measures in the republican platform.

Wm. H. Fry was introduced by the Chairman and was an ago ol'spirits, oi' spirits invisible; of spirits who can write in the dark and who ran rap in the light; of spirits who call reveul secrets of the most awful Character, and who can strike heavier blows than demo Cratic shoulder hitters. The spirits of recent date have a practical evil of writing volumes in oleagonous series long drawn out. It seemed that tho spirits have thought I letter than this, and have gone into politick and lately there was a letter written by a gentleman or Virginia under efrcumstancM of the greatest secrecy, and somehow or other a spirit oopied it out ami lot them into the secrets of the enemy; and to this day it must be assumed that no man knew who wrote out that letter.

Then, again, one Smith, of Rochester, nominated recently at the Democratic Convention, nomiuated ex-Speaker Alvord to preside over its deliberations to tho great discomfiture of Mr. Cogger, who nominated Mr. Stryker, who was striken down, and nobody acknowledges that he struck the blow, and therefore he had a right to suppose that a spirit did it. But, seriously speaking, when a party explored tho contents of a private letter and brought brute force to control a convention, It was another reason why they, as law abiding citizens, are bound by a mere fealty to put down such a party. The speaker then reviewed in a brief manner the qualifications of the candidates for Statu officers, and gave tho American party a slight hint that it was reduced to a corporal's guard.

He ondorsod tho canal policy tho party, contending that there was no conflict between the canals and railroads, and repudiated the idea tnat the canals should be sacrificed to a private corporation for tho want of two millions of dollars to complete tliem. He thought the ensuing State election secure pi the republicans if they would all turn out, and told them that they must rememtierthat the moral influence of New York is immense, and that influence would be felt in other States in the Presidential contest of I860. He then entered Into various speculations as to that contest, and figured pretty conclusively by his ideas that the republicans would elect their candidate? sure. The slavery question was treated on, and the South came in for a few uncomplimentary remarks in regard to Its staple iducttons. Franklin Tutlle and W.

H. Burleigh were the next speakers, but their remurks wore of no particular interest. There was a tolerable fair attendance of spectators, and the mealing passed off quietly. The expected speakers from abroad did not make their appearance. Court Calendar for Thursday.

The Arabia was twelve hours in the fog off Halifax harbor. Professor Agassix, his wife and daughter, were among the jsiesengers. The screw steamer Balbec, which also sailed from liverpool on the 10th, has not yet reached Halifax. It was said that the Zurich Conference had determined the boundaries of Lombardy. Another meeting between the Emperors of France and Austria was expected to take place in Switzerland.

The Iondon Times has an editorial ridiculing the talk or the American slaveholders In regard to reviving the slavo trade, and points to the renewed activity of the American government to put down the trade as tbo best answer to the outcry. The tame Journal also editorially points out the injustice of subsidizing the Cunard and Golway lines and giving nothing to the Canadian 11 that as long i as the system lasts the Canadian line ought at least to share the government patronnge. The latest Paris of the London says that much importance is attached to Prince Metternich's mission to 8t. Sauveur. One of its objects is said to have been the formation of an alliance between France and Austria, and its success was calculated not only to endanger the cause of Italian liberty, but to menace Europe.

It is asserted that the Papal troops continue to threaten the legations; eight or nine thousand troojis and twelve cannon were assembled at Pcsarn. The Belgian Senate had adopted the first article in the bill for the Antwerp fortifications, by thirty four against fifteen.

The Paris correspondent of the Tinws savB that the Zurich Conferences are suspended dt faclo for tho present. The Indrpntdaru-t. Beige says that England has proposed to France and Austria a European Congress on Italian affairs on the preliminary basis of non-intervention by force of arms.

A Paris despatch of the 9th says that this statement is not correct. THE MONSTER GREAT EASTERN. The Arrival and Departure from Purfleet for Portland, Progress Down the Working of the Enthusiasm of the People, dec. Ttw great event of the week has been tho departure of the Great Eastern for sea. The Nova Scotian brought out news that tbo vessel had proceeded down the Thames as far as Puriicct on the 7th, and anchored there for the tide of the following morning.

Her departure from her moorings, accongvinicd by four powerful tugs, two at the bows and two at the stern, gave rise to the greatest enthusiasm on tho Thames, which was continued at all the prominent points. Captain Harrison and the most experienced Thames pi lot directed the ship's motion. Mr. Scott Russell was on tlie bridge, directing the action of the engines, both of which, screw and paddle, were un dcr steam. Captain Comstock, of tho Collins' steamer Baltic, stood nft to transmit directions to the men at tho wheel, the new steering apparatus not being completely fitted.

The very first move in tho river demonstrated that the ship was as completely under command as a river steamer, and that tlio only difficulties to contend with were the sharp curves in the stream. She steers as easily as a wager boat, and her engines were found capable of starting her or arresting her motion literally almost by a single motion of tho hand. Tbo only difficulty experienced was at Biackwall Point, where tho river forms an acute augle, and in the centre of the channel at this point a bark and unfortunately, anchored. There was an anxious and jierilous delay of fifteen miuutes, but the danger was passed, and there was no other serious cause for uneasiness. There was not a single regular seaman ou board during the river trip, the crew not having Joined.

There were perfect ovations at Greenwich, Blackwnll. Woolwich and other points, where immense crowds had assemblod. At Burliest the ship swung round te her single anchor in beautiful style, and tho anchor, Trotmau's patent, never yielded an inch from the spot whore it droppt t. On the 8th tho Great Eastern get 8toam aml anchor, and at 8:40 A. M.

started from for the Nero. As on the proceeding day, she was accompanied by tugs, and the enttamiasm along the river, particularly at Gravesend, was very grout. On arriving at Chapman's the top of SeaRoaeh, the tugs were cast off and the great vessel was left to her. self. Increased speed was then got on her, simply to give good rlwrago way and move ber engines readily, but with no view to teat ber power.

In ten minutes, however, the correspondent of the Londou Timet, she set at rest all douUt forever at to her being the fattest vettel beyond tomparison in the world. Employing less than two-thirds of her power, in her worst trim, being six inches down by the head, and too high out of water to permit her paddles or screw blades to work properly, and with, a strong tide against her, the ran a distance if fifteen statute miles in two minutes under an hour. The engines worked with astonishing ease, and there was scarcely a vibration perceptible. Before anchoring the vessel was put about, and went completely round in less than three quarters of a mile. At half past twelve, the vessel anchored at the Nore.

Sho was to leave to Nore at so von o'clock on tho morning of 9th, and steam away easily for Portland, Dorsetshire, which habor she expected to reach early on the morning of fee 10th. regret was felt that serious illness prevented Mr. ITsnnel from being on board to share In the triumph.

M. THE SAN JUAN DIFFICULTY. The London Morning Pott has on editorial on the report that General Harney had taken possession of tho island of Wan Juan, or Bcllcvue, in Puget Bound. It considers it possible that another boundary disputa may arise, and says that the occupation of an island which is atill tub justice is tho exercise of a power to which the British government cannot tamely submit, and hopes that no concessions will be made which are inconsistent with the dignity of the country or the sccnrity of the gold regions. GREAT BRITAIN.

The London representative of the Suez canal ache mo hud issued a pamphlet hi which he asserts that the com pany, having commenced operations, are determined to continue them in spite of all opposition. The Australain mail steamer Northam, previously reported wrecked in the Red Sea, got off the reef, ami had reached Suez. The damage to ber was less than was expected. The Grand Duke Conslautiue, of Rutsia, quitted Portsmouth for Cronstadt in the-frigate General Admiral. The race for the Warwick cup was won by tho American horse Starke.

There wore only two other competitors. The commission to inquire into the state of the national defences was at Portland on the 6th, and made a long inspection of the fortifications in progress there. The article in the Mvniteur is the subject of editorials in most of the papers. The London Daily AViei indignantly criticises it, and in a credulous spirit the assertion it contains. The london Times, in the same manner remarks on tho consistency of the Kmperor in covering with reproaches the men to whom the destinieB of Italy have been intrusted, because they believe him, and openly declaring to Austria that the tine qua ru.n of Vlllafranca shall not bo observed at all, but that as an ofi.ct she may treat Venice as she likes.

The London Advertiser regards the articles as mysterious and ominous. FRANCE. The Paris Moniteur of the Oth publishes a long article explaining the reasons which caused the Emperor to conclude peace. Tlie following is a The Emperor of Austria had promised to grant concessions 011 a large scale to Vcnctia, but requiring as a condition, non, the return of the Archdukes. The Kmpcror Napoleon accepted these conditions.

It is easy to conceive that if, after the conclusion of peace, the destinies of Italy had been intrusted to men who had more at heart the future of their fatherland than little partial Bucceasefl, the aim of their endeavours would have been to develope. and not obstruct, the consequences of the treaty of Villafranca, and Venctia would have liecn placed in the same, position aR I jixembourg with Holland. Tfte Archduke will not be established by foreign forces, but that portion of the treaty of Villafranca not having been carried out, Austria tall find herself from all mgagements taken in fanor of Venetia. Instead of a policy of reconciliation and peace, di'rtance and haired will bo seen to reappear, which will entail fresh misfortunes. Much, it would appear.

enacted from the Congress, which we hail with all our best wishes, but we strongly doubt that the Congress would obtain better conditions for Italy. It would not be right to ask from the great Powers important concessions without offering equitable compensations. War would be the only way to resolve the difficulty; but Italy must be aware that one Power alone makes war for an idea, and that is France, and France has accomplished her mission. The Independence Beige asserts that France is making vigorous naval preparations for the coast defences. At the meeting of the Conference the Ottoman Ambassador announced that the Sultan had agreed exceptionally, and for this time only, to grant an investiture to Couzar as the Hospodar of both Moldavia and Watlachia, the governments of those places, however, to be con ducted separately.

On motion of the Russian Plenipotentiary, another year was allowed for the settlement of the question of the oonvent property in the Principalities. The Austrian and Turkish Ministers were called on for an early statement of the decision they bad come to regarding the navigation of the Danube. They were not prepared with the required information, and promised to communicate the observations of their conference to their governments. The Paris correspondent of the London Herald contradicts the report that twenty frigates have been ordered to be built at Cruzat. It says the rumor arose from an immense order being given for iron plates, which are intended for the embrasures at Cherbourg.

The Manilcur publishes the agricultural statistics of Algiers, showing that the recent harvest in that country has been satisfactory. Two additional prominent French exiles publish in tho Times their views of the late amnesty. M. E. Guinet declines to accept It, denying the right of the Emperor either to proscribe or pardon him.

Felix Pyatt determines, as a matter of policy, to ncccpt the amnesty, and return to France, where he thicks patriots may da more good than by remaining aloof. Prince Napoleon had gone to Switzerland, and it was supposed that his journey had reference to the intended interview between the Emperors. M. dc la Guerroniere had gone to St Sauveur. His mis sion refers to the intended liberal reform of the press laws.

The monthly returns of the Bank of France show an increase in cash of 6,760,000 franee. It was reported in Paris that Franco bad notified tho 1'orte that she docs not intend to treat tho Suez canal affair as a political question. The Paris Bourse fell daily. On Friday the article in the HoniXeur sent the rentes down to 68f. hat a vague rumor subsequently was current that a treaty of peace was signed, and the rentes improved to 68f 60c ITALY.

The conclusion was general on the Continent that tho answer of Victor Emanuel to the Tuscan deputation, in regard to annexation to Piedmont, was preconcerted with Napoleon. Tlie Council of the different districts had officially proclaimed to the people of Turin that the Tuscan deputies hail sented a deed of annexation to the Sardinian government. The National Assembly of Bologna, on the 7th, adopted a resolution declaring that the peoplo of Bologna desiro annexation to the constitutional kingdom of under the sceptre of Victor Emanuel. Bologna was illuminated in honor of the event. The Assembly also authorised its President to present an address to the Emperor Napoleon and King ol Sardinia, expressing sympathies for Venctia and offering to make peculiar sacrifices in her favor.

The Pope had been attacked with fever, and suspended all audiences fbr several days. Be was recovering, and was about to proceed toCastel (lomlolfo. A deputation was about to leave Turin on a mission to tlie French government. It was supixwed that the Papal army was not in condition to act against tlie forces of the Romagna, led by GaribaldiTin- National Assembly of Parma was opened on tho jih ill great solemnity. Tlie Dictator Farmi delivered an address.

In which he reviewed tho history of tho Bourbons, and terminated amid cries of "Vivi Victor Emanuel!" The city was enfite. Several French journals had been prohibited in Sardinia in consequence of advocating tho separation of Savoy from Piedmont. Proposals were pending in the National Assembly of Parma to confirm Fnrini as Dijtator, and declare tho termination of the Bourbon dynasty. SPAIN. Tlie Madrid journals say that the Emperor of Morocco has declared traitors tho tribes on tho coast who insulted tho Spanish flag, and promised to inflict exemplary chastisement on them.

Tlie Spnuish government, however, doubt the fulUlnifiit of this promise, and continue their preparations Tor the expedition. The English government had presented a note, drawn.
