The New York World of this morning says:
The story of the Rev. Horace Cooke Is not yet
told. Its incidents have already been sufficiently
numerous, and not a few of them have been
painful. What It will be necessary to write of
him in the future, either in explanation or in
sympathy.it is unnecessary to anticipate. Strange
as It will seem, he returned to this city ou
Tuesday. .
SAVED FROM RUIN.
The joy of Miss Johnson's father, and mother,
and brother, and sisters at her return was un
bounded. They were only too glad to welcome
her back to their home and their lore, and when
thev became positively assured that she came
back to them as pure as when sho left, their
hearts were filled with unspeakable gladness.
It is the thcery of many persons who are inti
mately acquainted with Cooke that his object in
running away with the girl was seduction, and
that fail lug in this he became maddened almost
to Insanity. One thing, however, Is certain, that
he did not succeed in ruining the girl, and that
she has come back to her friends as pure as when
she left.
WHERE WAS HE ?
Where the reverend gentleman was between
his disappearance on Friday evening and his re
appearance on Tuesday it is difficult at the pre
sent moment to tell. But permitting this lacuna
in his history to remain unfilled for the present,
the narrative of his adventures may be taken up
("yesterday afternoon at
LOVEJOY 8 HOTEL,
1 where he registered his name and address pre
paratory to taking apartments, i ne name given
was that of "Henry P. Daly, of St. Louis, Mo."
After registering: his name he turned round and
a6ked some one to t ome out with him. His
invitation was accepted by one of the gentlemen
present, who, however, had no previous ac
quaintance with him, and was in total ignorance
of his object. The hotel is at one corner of
Beekman street the World office is opposite.
1 hither he walked, manifesting no unusual feel
ing: in his demeanor. He asked the clerk at the
counter for a copy of yesterday's World. It
was given to mm. Alter reading some portions
of it he became excited the views of the public
on bis conduct, as therein expressed, uniting
with the sherry wine, which he afterwards con
fessed ne baa. been flrin.ii.ing, to disturb his self-
possession, lie made Botiie inquiries of the
clerk In reference to the articles contained In
the vancr. which, of course, that gentleman
could not answer. At that moment one of the
gentlemen connected with the editorial depart
ment of the World entered the publication oflice
to obtain the key of the door leading to the
editor's rooms. As the manners of '-Mr. Henry
P. Daly, of St. Louis, Mo.," were not at that
moment sDeciallv unDleasant.Xhe official in the
counting-room observed, "There is a gentleman
from up-stairs; he knows more aoout those mat
ters than I do,"
the manner of "Mr. Daly" immediately
changed. His face became livid with anger.
cried out, gesticulating vehemently:
"Who wrote that article, sir?"
Somewhat surprised at the unusual vigor of
this address, the gentleman addressed quietly
replied:
"Your question is decidedly impertinent. I
cannot in form you."
"lla! it was you, men. wno wrote tnis ioui
slander. I, sir, am the Rev. Horace Cooke."
Hereupon the soi-disant Missourian rushed on
his supposed "slanderer" in an Intimidating
manner, subsequently catching him by the col
lar, and holding one hand behind his back as if
searching in a back pocket for a pistol. This
was becoming serious, and as the gentleman as
saulted was unwilling to become a martyr, espe
cially as he did not write any of the articles ob
jected to, he freed himself from the threatening
grasp of the reverend assaulter. Apprehending
further disturbance, he bade one of the .clerks to
send tor an officer to preserve the peace.
"What do I care now for an officer? but I
would give $50 for the man that wrote that
article."
After a few moments, in which Mr. Cooke
indulged in threats of a similar strain, an officer
came, and he was accordingly given in charge.
He was then brought to the
BEEKMAN BTKEET BTATION-HOUBK,
'where he was accused of creating a disturbance
in the publication office of the World and as
saulting one of its editors.
"By jingo," muttered one of the admiring
policemen who stood by, "He looks more like a
KooBhian officer than a parson. He's a dashing

"Dashing" is exactly the word which describes
the normal Rev. Horace Cooke's appearance; it
was hardly applicable to his then condition.
The charge was brietly told that he had
Msuulted, without provocation, a gentleman

"Well, sir, what's your name?"
"My name is Horace Cooke."
"Your age, Mr. Cooke ?"
"Thirty years."
"Your residence?"
Here there was a pause. Then he jerked out
quite abruptly:
"In Seventh street, near the church; I don't
know the number. '
"Your profession ?"
The hand of the ex-preacher a handsome
one, by the way was clasped over his eyes, and
moanlngly he replied:
" I have none; I have none now."
The sergeant said nothlnir. but wrote on the
slate, and the sound fell trratinerly on the ears of
those present, through the sympathetic silence

that kind was found, although a bulky pocket-

from him today some weapons.
"Take him down," and still threatening that
one man who wrote "that article," and promising
to exact summary vengeance when he had an
opportunity, the still handsome, though much
disturbed, face of Horace Cooke, pastor and tho
rest, disappeared down the stairs to a region
at once a haven of security and a place of
restraint.
"Take care of him," said tho sergeant. "Yon
must drop down there every few minutes to look
after him. He's too disturbed to bJPloft alone."
HE WANTS TO OET OUT.
After being locked np In the cell, Cooke sent
a slip of paper, on which was written the follow
ing: "Let me out In tho passage-way, and I will
f;ive yon tlO." The words were plainly written
n handsome hand, and did not indicate any
physical nervousness. No answer was sent to
the note, and the man remained all night in tho
cell. A number of acquaintances called to see
him, but they were not permitted to have an in
terview with him.
WHT SHE LEFT.
The general belief is now that Miss Johnson
was a young religious enthusiast, and that Mr.
Cooke had acquired that singular spell power over
her which, as Is well known, often results from
the development of an almost fanatical degree
of so-called religious ardor. There Is also rea
son to suspect that the young girl had tho mis
fortune not to have concealed from him the ex
istence of this fascination which he exercised
over her aots, and that in a moment of scml
lnfatuation he requested her to fly with him, and
she blindly assented.
She stated to her father that Mr. Cooke went
to the school house on Friday afternoon last,
and made arrangements with her to leave im
mediately. She obeyed, and they left that even
ing for Philadelphia. Having arrived there her
"flighty" companion went to a hotel and hired a
room, to which he escorted his youthful charge,
and instantly took his departure, since which
time until twelve o'clock last night she had
neither seen nor heard anything of him. It
may also be a matter of interest to tho inquisi
tive to know that there is not the slightest rea
son to suppose that Miss Johnson is not as chaste
a young lady as when she left her parents' home
last week; on tho contrary, it is asserted that
she is in no wise harmed save in the matter of
unenviable and unfortunate notoriety.
A reporter of the Times had an interview with
Cooke in the latter's cell, from which we extract
the following:
COOKE'S STATEMENT.
The story told by Cooke was one of a boy's
love, as follows: "When I was eighteen years
old I was engaged to be married to a girl about
my own age. I loved her devotedly, and had
every reason to believe that my affections were
returned. An aunt of hers broke the engage
ment; how, I do not know, but villainously. The
girl went to the West Indies, and I have never
seen her since. Upon leaving this country she re
turned my ring, daguerreotype, letters, and all the
tokens of aff action which had passed between
us. Her image faded from my mind, and when
about twenty years old I married my present
wife. She was and always has been the best
of women, and we have never quarreled during
our long married lifo. Before entering the
ministry I was an actor, and for six months was
upon the stage of the Old Bowery Theatre. Up
to tho time of coming to New York
my life was a happy one, and as
pure as befitted a Christian man and a
minister of the Gospel. I was never unfaithful
to my wife in the slightest degree, even in
thought or deed, and the story in regard to my
visiting places of bad repute is a fabrication,
basely' false. When we moved to Seventh
street I became acquainted with Mattle John
ston. In form and feature she was the coun
terpart of my first love, resembling her in all
respects. I became infatuated beyond control,
and it was utterly rjcyona my power to re
sist the temptation to try and make her mine.
But although loving her to desperation, I never
had any criminal intercourse with her; and, so
help me God, she is as pure and Innocent this
night as an angel In Heaven. Oh ! I was a fool

tended to nee tne country, and would nave uouo
so but for that Infernal article in the World yes
terday mornlmr. It was a clear tissue of lies
from beginning to end, and I could not forbear
facing him and seeking vengeance upon him.
But for this I would never have been found out.
It was this object alone which forced me from
my biding place. I have not done with the
writer of that article yet, and if I ever get out of
this place (here the prisoner gnasned nis teotn,
and clenching his fists struck them wildly against
the iron bars, adding at the same time with e al
pha pis), I will wreak a terrible vengeance upon
him." ,
CUBA. '
Diplomatic Correepondence The Speakmaa
ana wjci. uucriioqr.
Th f nil rnrrnRnondence between Secretary
Fish and Minister Roberts on the Cuban busi
ness has just been published. We take from it
the . following account of the execution of
Messrs. Speakman and Wyeth, as sent by
General Sickles to the Secretary of State:
. It appears that Charles Speakman, a citizen
of the United States, residing in Aurora, Ind.,
where he has a wife and child, being by occupa
tion a sailor, about the end of April shipped as a
seaman on board the schooner Grapeshot.of Now
York, signing articles for Falmouth, In Jamaica,
in good faith, knowing nothing of the objects of
the vovage. Whllo lying in the lower bay of
New York the tug-boat which was to tow the
Grapcshot to sea arrived at midnight, bringing
some fifty armed Cubans, with a considerable
supply of munitions of war. Speakman objected
to continuing the voyage, and desired to return
to tne city in me propener; dm, tue captain
assured him that, although he had taken the
Cubans on board, he would not risk his vessel
by attempting to run the Spanish blockade, but
would proceed at once to Falmouth, land the
Cubans and go for a cargo of fruit. When off
Capo Maysl the Cubans took charge of the ves
sel, ran her ashore and disembarked.
Speakman, wno had a quarrel wun tne cap
tain about the engagement, was forcibly put on
shore with the Cubans. They were soon at
tacked by the Spanish troops, routed, and dis
persed, Speakman taking no part in the fight.
He took the first opportunity to give himself up to
the Spanish authorities, and on tho 10th of June
was brought to Santiago, subjected to a private
examination before the Fiscal, In the presence
of an interpreter, and condemued to death im
mediately. The Consul of the United States
made application to the Governor of the place
by letter to grant a reprieve of a few days to
enable Speakman to obtain from Jamaica the
proofs necessary to establish his innocence.
The letter of the Consul was never answered.
He then, in company with the English
Vice-Consul, made a personal application
to the Governor. The Governor replied
that his orders were positive, alluding to Captain-General
Duke's proclamation of the 24th of
March, 180!), and added that, owing to the dis
sensions prevailing in the Spanish forces, the
dissatisfaction of tne Catalan volunteers and the
danirer of a counter revolution against himself,
it would be entirely impossible to grant even a
short reprieve. Consequently Speakman was
vMMii(V on the morninir of the 17th June,
within fourteen hours after he was brought to
the city. These facts are derived from the offi
cial reports of the Acting United States consul,
Dr. Phillips, Admiral Uoff, and the dying state
ments of SDeakman. and of those who were ex
ecuted with him.who united in declaring his in
nocence of all complicity in the objects of the
expedition.
And It further appears that Albert Wyeth, of
Pennsylvania, a young mas of only twenty year
o"1 ace, and very respectably connected, sailed
in the same schooner Grapcshot at Falmouth,
Jamulca, for the benefit of his hcalta. On learn
ing the real destination of the schooner he ener
getically protested against taking part In tho
enterprise. When the expedition disembarked
he was forced to land with the Cubans, and took
the first opportunity to surrender himself to the
Spanish authorities. He was shot on the 21st of
June, and, so far as can be ascertained, without
eve a the pretense of a trial. The acting Consul
of the United States, in a personal interview
with the Governor, urged in vain the extreme
yonth of the prisoner, his respectable social
standing, and his Innocence of any criminal in
tent, as reasons for a commutation or reprieve
of the sentence.
Admiral HofT, in his report to the Navy De
partment, which is accompanied by all the evi
dence necessary to support his conclusions, de
clares that these men were sacrificed through
"the weakness of the Spanish official at this city
(Santiago de Cuba) in yielding to the demands
of the Catalan volunteers, and of misconstruing
or acting upon the cruel decree of the 21th of
March, 1809." In this opinion, and the forcible
language in which it is expressed, the President
fully concurs, and the undersigned is instructed
to demand of the Spanish government full repa
ration to be made to the families or representa
tives of the said Charles Speakman and Albert
Wyeth, in so far as pecuniary compensation can
make reparation for these unjustifiable homi
cides. JAIL DELIVERY.
Two Notorious Denperndoee; Escape from a
County Frlaon.
The Chicago llepublican of January 11 has
the following:
About 8 o'clock last evening two notorious
ruffians confined In cell No. 80 of the County
Jail effected their escape from that institution.
Of the escaped prisoners. John O'Brien was in
carcerated for burglarizing a house ou Wabash
avenue of $700 worth of plate last summer,
and the other, Thomas Eilcore, alias Jones,
was confined for assaulting and robbing a man
on Klnzle street last September. Tho last-mentioned
ruffian was held under $ 30,000 bail. The
escape was undertaken and leflected lu a sig
nally bold and expert manner. Just pre
vious to locking np, a number of pri
soners confined for light offenses were
engaged in carrying water to the
different cells; the occupants of No. 30, taking
advantage of the confusion, "pried" open the
lock of their apartment with an iron hook which
was used for hanging clothes upon. Having
succeeded in opening their cell door, with the
cognizance, doubtless, of their fellow-captives,
the two men stole along the corridor leading
eastward and terminating in the scaffold re
cently erected for the coutemolated execution
of Daniel Walsh. On the south side of the
platform, which is erected about three feet above
the floor, some planks were left off, affording
an entrance into the basement; leading through
an enclosed doorway into the new left wing of
the court-house. When the fellows had managed
to get all clear, one of the prisoners informed
Jailor Stone of tho escape effected by the two
desperadoes. That officer instantly gave tho
alarm, but, as a matter of course, without avail
the birds had flown, and up to the latest ac
counts had not been recaptured.
The frequency of such escapes from places of
confinement in this city tends to show a lack of
capability somewhere. Either the prisons are
improperly constructed, or the guard placed
over prisoners Is Insufficient. Ono man placed
In tho jailor's office cannot, if he would, prevent
such escapes as that of last evening. The
County Jail is pre-eminently conspicuous as the
most insecure of all the leaky prisons with
which Chicago is afflicted.
ARCIIC EXPLORATION.
Letter to Captain Hall from the Bremen Com
mittee of the (Herman Polar Expedition.
The following communication will explain
itself :
Bremen, Dec. 20, 1809. To Captain Charles
Francis Hall, Arctic Explorer, New York
Honorable Sir: As Secretary of tho Bremen
Committee of the German Arctic Exploring Ex
pedition, I have the honor to send you herewith
a short account of the plan of our expedition,
which left Bremen and the German shores on
the 15th of June, 18(39, in two ships, a steamer
and a sailing vessel. I presume that you. dear
sir, as an experienced aud celebrated Arctic
explorer, will have a peculiar Interest in
our enterprise. You will see from reports
that the ships are provisioned for two
years. Their plan is to reach the eastern coast
of Greenland this year, and during the next
summer to go as far north as possible, either by
laud or water. Ships were seen last on the 1st
of August in latitude 73 north aud longitude 15
west of Greenwich. According to the account
received from whalers cruising in these regions
at that time, we have reason to believe that our
ships will have succeeded in piercing the ice
floes which surround the eastern coast of Green
land, so that after wintering the expedition
might have a good chance of exploring these
unknown regions farther north than has ever
been reached by any one before. 10 tue ore
men committee it Is Interesting, in tho mean
while, to get every new account of Arctic travel,
even from foreign countries.
I presume that you will have drawn up a
report of your long sojoarn in those regions and
given it to some newspaper or society.
We should be very glad if you would kindly
send us such a report. You intend, I under
stand, to return next year to tho Arctic regions.
In this case you would greatly gratify us II you
would irlve us notice when you go and where
you are coins:. We may trouble you with some
letters to our Arctic friends. Though not pro
bable. It is within the bounds of possibility that
such letters may reach them somewhere turougu
the Esauimaux.
Apologizing for my request and tho practical
purpose 1 have suggested, yours most respect'
fully. M. Lindeman,
Secretary to the Bremen Committee of the Gcr
man Polar Expedition.

This morning the trial of Himou M. Landls for sell
ing obsoene and libellous papers aud books was re.
guuied. Speeches, or rather speech, were the order
of the day, Mr. Kllgore, for the defendant, occupy
ing the morning. The gentleman's address was
strictly scientific and very comprehensive, embracing
tbe proverbial immorality of reporters, aud their de
votion to tho filthy weed tobacco; the tenets of
modern sects, Progressive Christians, etc., proclaim
ing himself the ohamploa of the new light, aud ready
to be unpopular and considered insane for the sake
of tbe great truth; the distinction between high
minded, sensible women, and those gadding butter,
flies who flit about Chesnut street fa variegated
satins and silks, Grecian bends, and hlgh-heulod
boots ; the treachery of Bedford street alms-sockors ;
and other branches of knowledge too numerous to
be mentioned ; and the gentleman made the start
ling announcement that he loved the women.
The following case was argued :
Corn vs. Domestic Distilled Spirits. This Is a pro.
coed Ing tn rem. for the forfeiture of spirits for viola
tion of the State Inspection law. The law requires
tbe inspection of "all uomestio uistiued spirits," anu
provides for the seizure and condemnation of all
spirits not Inspected. In the present case the spirits
were originally distilled in New York, and were corn
signed to I). GilUnau, of this city, lu their raw state,
lie rectified them here and made them into "Jamaica
rum," "gin," and "whisky," and put them into
fresh barrels. The spirits, when seized, were
about to be shipped to Norfolk, Virginia, with
out having been inspected. The claimant contends
that these are not "domestic distilled spirits" within
the meaning of the law, aud that ouly Pennsylvania
whisky is liable to State inspection. The Common
wealth claims that all spirits distilled wlthiu the
United States are "domestic," and that raw spirits
from other States which are rectified here would be
liable to inspection, even if the law only applied to
Pennsylvania spirits. It Is claimed also that Penn
sylvania spirits cannot be distinguished from those
of other StateH by taste, and that if the Inspectors
can ouly inspect spirits known to have been distilled
In this State, the law becomes a dead letter.

The local Money market opened this morning easy.
Jhe supply being fully equal to the demand, both at
the banks and outside. The apparent symptoms of
stringency noticed yesterday nave disappeared to
day, and lenders exhibit a liberal dlnpoMUon towards
applicants for loans both on call and time. We no
tice no material change In the scale of rates, but
occasional exceptions in favor of borrowers occur
when ronnd sums are wanted on what Is classed by
the market as nrst-class security. The demand for
rail loans Is unusually light, and they are less In
favor than formerly both among borrowers and
lenders.
We quote call loans as A per cent as the rule and
discounts at 910 per cent for first-class names.

TUB NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.
From the If. F. Herald.
"Wall street made up for the excitement of yester
day by being dull and heavy to-day. In the tpld
Room some curiosity was felt as to whether the op
ponents of the Gold Bank would make a further
demonstration, but they did not, and business,
which It was thought would become active
with the settlement of the question, became
sluggiBh. The clearances for the two days
were promptly etl'ected this v afternoon, and the
machinery of the gold speculation Is again
in running order. Thelrlendsof Mr. Marvin have
been agitating separate dealings in gold, and a great
deal of the business yesterday was oouo outside the
Clearing House. As the Governing Committee of
the Stock Exchange assembled yesterday afternoon,
It was rumored that they Intended reviving the ques
tion of catling gold at the board and dealing tn It In
the long room, out without foundation, as their meet
ing was the ordinary stated business session. In
the aiternoon, upon the news of Senator Sumner's
speech, gold broke to 121 the decline being as
sisted by the general luipretxdon that the tender of
f'JOO.OOO gold to tbe Clearing House by the Marvin
Brothers was an evidence that the clique had un
loaded. Again, tnere was a more active demand
lor cash gold, and as low as three per cent, was paid
for carrying.
"The stock market was irregular, and, in the main,
depressed. The amount of business was far below
the average of the previous days of the week. The
cliques, If not short,' are out of their stocks, and
irefer to let the market settle to lower figures
efore buying back, bat the outsiders who have
taken their stock are so sanguine that the gene
ral character of tho market is 'bullish' that
they are not easily induced to sell, particu
larly as the money market presents no signs of
stringency. The Indisposition on the one hand to
buy and on the other to sell, rendered business dull.
The decline was most marked when gold sold down
to 121 X. Exceptionally New Jersey steadily ad
vanced from W?4 to 97, and was not offered below
98 at the close. Erie was especially weak, and fell
to twenty-two and a half, though the reason was
not assigned. In the Express stocks Adams and
United States were strong aud advanced.
"The Government market was closely sympathetic
with gold, being steady at the boards, but going off
In subsequent street transactions.
"The money market was easy at T per cent for
all transactlous up to 2 o'clock, but after that hour
lenders were in the majority, and the rate on call
was quoted six to seven per cent., the former being
the figure on prime collaterals or to good bouses
with the ordinary collaterals. Commercial paper
was without special feature."
