' timony The Frinoe
of Wales Let
ters. By tbo arrival of the European mail of the
19th ol February at New York yesterday, we
have the report of the third and fourth day's
proceedings before the London court In the di
vorce case of Mordannt vs. Mordaunt, with
eoplos of the letters written by his Royal Huh
scse the Prince of Wales to Lady Mordannt.
Mr Charles Irtordannt,
the husband of Lady Mordaunt, and th e petitioner
in the original suit, "Mordannt vs. Mordaunt
and others," was the next witness called, and
much interest was taken In his examination.
The following Is a portion of his testimony:
q. Did the fact of her being tnciente, when it be
came known to you, excite jour suspicion In any
way? A. No.
In answer to further questions witness stated that
after a visit to Scotland in autumn he returned to
Walton Hall, and that in the month of November
Sir Frederick Johnstone was a visitor there.
Mr. Kergeant Bailantlne Did some conversation
take place between jou and your wife about that
gentleman? A. I had a conversation with heron
the subject previously to that.
a. Did she ask you any questions atnrat htm 7 Tell
OB what transpired. A. She aakod me why Mr
Frederick Johnstone, a man of fortune, did not fret
married ; I said I had heard there was a reason ; she
preyed me to tell her what it was. I was reluctant
to say anything about it, but being pressed further
I said I had heard that he had a complaint which
was likely to prevent him from marrying, and that if
he did It was possible it might be couveyed to his
children; the conversation then ceased; about teu
days after that she went to London.
6, Why did she go to London at that timer A.
8he said it was necessary for ber to go and consult
Dr. Pilestley previous to her conOnement.
6. Were you aware of her having met Sir Frede
rick Johnstone? A. No; I had no suspicion abont
U; I had then no suspicion of her at all with any
body. q, Was any arrangement made as to where she
BhouM be confined? A. She had long said to me,
"Whenever I am confined I hope you will allow me
to be attended by Dr. Priestley, and arrange that the
confinement shall take place In London;" arrange
ments were made in abundant time, in accord
ance with that wish ; a house was taken in London,
but it happened that she was prematurely con
fined, and consequently the arrangement was not
carried out.
o. Did you see her on the night of her confine
ment ? A. I was not present at the time ; I saw
her on the afternoon of the day after the confine
ment. o. Did you see the child 1 A. Not at that time ;
I did not see it for three or fonr days after the birth.
o. Did youseeanytulng the matter with it? A.
1 he eyes were bad. nearly closed op.
O. Did your wife ask you any questions about It ?
A. She asked me whether I had the birth inserted
in the papers; I said I had Inserted it in the Horning
J'ont and the Timet, and she suggested thai I should
have it Inserted in the other papers; she asked me
whether 1 put the word "prematurely" in the notice,
and I said I had done so; she afterwards spoke to
me about the name of the child, and proposed that
the second name should be the name of my mother.
O, There had been nothing to lead you to suppose
that there had been anything wrong in any way?
A. Nothing, until a day or two after her confine
ment, when she said, "Charlie, 1 have deceived you
yon are not the father of that child."
O, Did you at the time give belief to that observa
tion? A. No; 1 thought it an observation made In
consequence of some Illness arising out of her con
finement; she repeated the same statement on sub
sequent occasions, although perhaps not quite in
the same words.
o. Was there anything to Indicate that her mind
was wandering at that time ? A. I could see no.
thing.
Examination continued I saw her on the evening
of the 6th of March; she looked distressed ; I asked
her, as I did on several occasions, what caused her
distress, but I did not receive any definite answer; I
saw her again in her room on the 8th of March, when
her nurse, Mrs. Hancock, was with her; she sent for
me on that occasion, and when I came she cried ; she
began to speak and then burst into tears.
0. Tell us what she said ? A. She first said,
"Charlie, yon are not the father of that child ; Lord
Cole is the father of the chUd ;" it was about a quar
ter of an hour before she spoke again ; She then said,
Charlie, I have been very wicked; I have done
very wrong;" I said, "With whom?" and she
answered, "With I-ord Cole, Sir Frederick John
stone, the Prince of Wales, and others, often and in
the open day." (Sensation In Court.)
O. You have said that you did not credit what she
said on the subject on former ouoaslons ; was there
anything on this occasion to Indicate that she was
under any delusion 7 A. No; she spoke with the
deepest distress, and I .think with remorse.
q. Did you make any reply? A. I made no
"y.How was It you made no reply 1 Did you
believe the statement ? A. I cannot say that 1 en
tirely ttelieved the statement at that time ; I had
suspicions.
The Frlace ( Wales' Letters.
The following letters from the Prince of Wales
were put in, but not read. They are, however,
printed, as follows: .
Bandkinoham, King's Lynn, Jan. 13, 1847. My
Dear Lady Mordaunt: I am quite shocked never to
have answered your kind letter, written some time
ago, ami lor tlie very pretty muBetees, which are
very userul this cold weather. I had no Idea where
you had been staying siuce your mar
riage, but Fr nclH KnoUys told me that you
are In Warwickshire. I suppose you will
be np In London for the opening of Par
liament, when 1 hope I may perhaps have the ple
eure of seeing you and of making the acquaintance
of Sir Charles. I was in London for only two nights
and returned here Saturday. The rails were so
slippery that we thought we should never arrive
here. There has been a heavy fall of snow here,
aud we are able to use our sledges, which is capital
fun. Believe me yours ever sinoerely,
Axjikkt Bdwabjj.
Monday My Dear Lady Mordaunt: I am sure
you will be glad to hear that the Princess was safely
Ue'lvertd of a little girl this morning, and that both
are doing very well. I hspe you will come to the
Oswa'd and St. James Hart this wsek. There would,
I am sure, be no harm In our remaining till Satur
day in town. I shall like to see you again. Ever
yours, moBt sincerely, Albbbt Kdward.

actly pretty, she is very nice-looking, has charming
manners, and is very popular with every one.
From his letter, he seems to be ' very muoh

next month. You told me when 1 last saw you that
you ware probably going to Paris in November, but I

WnrrfB, Nov. 1. My Dear Lady Mordaaut:
Many thanks for your letter, which I received this
morning. I cannot tell you at this moment the
exact height of the pontes In question, but I thluk
they are Just under fourteen hands; but as soon as
1 know for certain, 1 shall not fall to let you know.
I would be only too happy If they suit you and have
the pleasure of seeing them In your hands. It Is
quite an age since 1 have seen yoa, but I trust
you bad a pleasant trip abroad, and I suppose you
have been in Scotland since. Lord Derby tua kindly
asked me to shoot with him at Buckeuham on the
th of next month, and I hope 1 may, perhaps, have
the pleasure of seeing yoa there. Believe me, yours,
ever sincerely, Ai.bbht Edward.
Sahdrinouam, King's Lynn. Dec. 6. My Dear
Lady Mordaunt: Many thanks for your letter,
which I received this evening, and I am very glad to
hear that you like the ponies ; but I hope they will be
well driven before you attempt to drive them, as 1
know they are fresh. They belonged originally to the
Princess Mary, who drove them for some years,
and when she married, not wanting them Just then,
1 bought them from her. I am not surprised that
you have had no hunting lately, as the frost has
made the ground as hard as iron. We hope, how
ever, to Ihj able to hunt to-morrow, as a tuaw has
set In. We killed over a thousand head on Tuesday
and klLed forty woodcocks to-day. Davor has been
In great force and as bumptious as ever. Blandford
Is also here, so you can imagine what a row goes
on. On Monday next I go to Buckenham, and 1 am
Indeed very sorry that we shall not meet '.here. I
am very sorry to hear that you have been seedy, but
hope that you arc now all right again. Ever yours,
verj sincerely, albert Edward.
Sunday. My Dear Lady Mordaunt: I cannot toll
yon bow distressed I am to hear from your letter
that you have got the measles, and that I shall in
consequence not have the pleasure of seeing you. 1
have bad the measles myself a long time ago, aud I
know what a tiresome complaint it Is. I trust you
will take great care of yourself, and have a good
doctor with yu. Above all 1 should not read at all,
as it 1b very bad for the eyes, and I suppose you will
be forced to lay up tor a tune. The weather is very
favorable for your Illness. And wishing you a very
speedy recovery, believe me, yours most sincerely,
Albert Edward.
NANDRiKonAH, King's Lynn, Nov. 18 My Dear
Lady Mordaunt: I must apologize for not having
answered your last kind letter, but accept my best
thanks for it now. Since the 15th I have been here
at Sir William Knolly's house, as I am building a to
tally new one. I am here "en garcon," aud we have
had very good shooting. The Duke of Cambridge,
Lord SuftlPld, I-ord Alfred Paget, Lord Do
Gray, Sir Frederick Johnstone, Chaplin, Gene
ral Hall, Captain (8am) Bukley, Major Grey,
and myself compose tho party, and the
great Francis arrived on Saturday, but ho Is by no
means a distinguished shot. Sir Frederick John
stone tells me he Is going to stay with you to-morrow
for the Warwick races, so he can give you the best
account of us. This afternoon, after shooting, I re
turn to London, and to-morrow night the Princess,
our three eldest children, and myself, start for Paris,
where we shall remain a week, aud then, go straight
to Copenhagen, where we spend Christinas, and the
beginning of January we Btart on a longer trip. We
shall go to Venice, and then by sea to Alexandria,
and up the Nile as far as we can get: and later, to
Constantinople, Athens, and home by Italy, and I
don't expect we shall be back again before April. I
fear, therefore, 1 shall not see you for a long time,
but trust to ilnd you, perhas, in London on our
return. If you should have time it will be very kind
to write me sometimes. Letters to Marllorough
House, to be forwarded, will always reach me. I
hope you will remain strong and well, and, wishing
yon a very pleasant winter, I remain, yours most
sincerely, Albbbt Kdward.

Senator I,owry Talks to the "Deacon" In
Plain Termslie Pictures Ills "Horrid De
formity" In an Edifying Way. and Accuaea
Illin of Desecrating the Temple of Liberty.
This morning we received from the Hon,
Morrow B. Lowry, State Senator from Erie
county, a communication addressed to "Deacon"
George Bergner, of Harrisburg, to which we
give place below. In this letter the insatiable
Bergner is handled witnout gloves, ana in a
fashion which will be a groat deal more edifying
to the public at large than to the individual to
whom it is addressed. Mr. Lowry, it will be
seen, promises to let the "Deacon" hear from him
.gain, and the next instalment will be awaited
by the public with considerable Interest. Mr.
Lowry 6 letter reads as follows:
Harkisbvro, March 1, 1870.
Deacon Gkorok Bergner:
As vou are the editor of the only Republican
paper at the capital of Pennsylvania, as you are
lue lave puunsucr ui me .lyeytmuuue -iwtxoru, as
vou are the contractor for the stationery and do
the advertising of the State, as you are a banker
on the funds oi the Commonwealth., as you are
a law-seller and the king ot the "ring," as you
are a distinguished ex-mule and horse con
tractor, as you are a former agent for
bounty-jumpers, as you are a vote
seller oi mem Dors ot tne Legislature, as
you are the agent for all Legislative
jobs, as you are the Mackey elector, as you now
arc ana long nave oeen rostmasier at Harris
burg, I know you will pardon me if I have
omitted any. of the numerous titles you hold
and have so well earned. Ever since the com
mencement of the present session of the Legis
lature you have advertised me faithfully and
gratuitously in your own pure ana incorrupt!
ble paper, the whole aim and purpose of
which has been to read me ont of the Kepubli
can nartv. and to render me odious to the
people of this State, and especially to those of
my own constituents whom you have kindly
furnished with large editions of your paper
without charge. As there is no other Republi
can paper at the seat of government but your
T . At II.. m
own, A must rcsueiiiuuj aim auk evening
Tblkoraph of Philadelphia to enable me to
be faithful to you and just to myself, by publish
ing these tokens of my affection for you.
As 1 have Dut utue time to spare from mv offl
cial duties, I shall proeeed to answer the
accusations of the "Heathen Hessian" in a series
of letters as brief as DOSslble. and befnrn T trot
tnrougn wiiu you a wm buow up ana expose to
the people of this Commonwealth your recorded
peculations trom me dooks of the Auditor
Generals ofllce peculations which are but
trilling in comparison with those which are un
recorded.
My first offense against the peace and dlnrnitv
of the Republican party Is that last year, as
well as this year, i reiusoa to aoide by tne do
clsion of a caucus to pass the Metropolitan
Police bill, and also that last year, aud this
year, I refused to vote for Mr. Mackey for Stale
Treasurer. In this letter I shall only briefly
refer to the Metropolitan Police bill, that hideous
legislative monstrosity, and the reasons which
actuated me as a true and faithful Republican
In opposing it. In the first place, as
a true and honest Republican, no cons!
deration that could be presented would ever
induce me to aid in the passage of any bill that
would not only bankrupt the city of Philadel
phia, but that would destroy the very foundation
tiDon which our renubliaan institutions rest.
This bill struck a fatal blow at the republican
constitution of our State; was in direct opposi
tion to tne letter ana spirit oi tne eaerai con
stitution; it invaded the sacred rights of the
people to manage their domestic affairs in their
own war. aud It deprived the people of their in
herent sovereignty, the right to govern them
selves, and all una l was required to do lor the
benefit of a ring of bad men, of which you were
the rlnir-master. Admit for one moment the
doctrines contained in that bill, and you may
say a long farewell to civil and rollgious
liberty; you establish an empire upon the
ruins of this glorious Republic, you desecrate the
Temple of Liberty, and convert it Into the palace
of a despot. Out of your own mouth yoa are
condemned. Look at the brutal attacks you
have made upon me for that vote, and then look
at vonr oaoer of the 11th ultimo, containing the
immortal message of Governor Geary vetoing
the bill, and read your short-but pointed edito
rial. The irresistible reasoning, tne unanswer
able arguments, were too much for you, and yoa
were compelled to jastiiy my course oy approv
tag and endorsing tho Veto. As far as my Infor
mation extends, every paper In this State hiut
endorsed the veto, and thus sustained me, ex tepl
three Republican papers, one In Philadelphia,
one In Pittsburg, and one In Erie.
With a unanimity unparalleled the whole press
of the nation approve of the veto, and com
mend it in the highest terms. This message has
done more, and Justly, to give Governor
Geary a national reputation than any or all
other public acts of his life. It must have had a
tremendous power and force, or yon never would
have yielded to it in the truckling, sycophantic
manner yon did.
When this vile Invasion of the people's rights
first appeared I took my stand as a Republican,
solitary and alone, against it, and coutlnned to
fight It tinawed ana undaunted, until Geary
drove the pebble of truth deep Into the forehead
of this unt lrcumclsed Philistine giant, who ex
pired amid his weeping worshippers, among
whom yon were chief.
I stood, sir, unmoved, the storm of your de
traction, until It spent Its force and lulled Into a
quiet calm. The reservoir of your slander,
"the foulest whelp of Bin," has been exhausted,
and the bright rays of the sun of truth are
about to penetrate the dark recesses of your
rascality, and expose you to the public gaze In
all your native and naked deformity.
Beforo I am done with you, sir, your natural
and acquired beauties shall be fully soon. I
will make
"Yonr name, your human name, to every eye,
The ellmax of all scorn to haug on high,
Kxalted o'er your loss abhorred compeers,
And festcrlog in the Infamy of years."
My reasons and my motives in opposing the
bill aro before the country, and known and seen
of all men. The reasons and motives by which
yon are actuated in advocating it are, gene
rally, In your wallet, and covered by all the
Erlvacy and the darkness which the clasp that
olds the came can secure.
The motive power, the mainspring of action
in your soul, is avarice and cupidity; all other
Eafcsions of your fallen naturp, envy, jealousy,
atred, and revenge cluster in dwarf-like pro
portions around this great overshadowing cen
tral figure, presenting a group of torrid
deformity. Belah.
Yon will hear from me again, my beloved
Deacon, at my earliest convenience.
Faithfully yours, Mobrow B. Lowry.

the United States to say that negotiations were
pending between the American and Dominican re
publics ; that his government bad good reason to
suppose, since me iuii oi nainavc, mat me actual

it presumed tho Provisional Government ot
Bayti would be disposed to aid Cabral by
sending mm arms, ammunition, ana money to ngnt
against Baez, and prevent the consummation of the
negotiations the United States are now carrying ou
with the latter chieftain ; that he had been sent there
to say any aid given to Cabral would be considered
as an acc oi uosiuny towarus tue umieu niaies,
and would provoke hostilities in return ; that the
United States Government was determined to use
all its power to prevent any aid being given to Ca

Kumor says the llaytlen Consul at Kingston was
interested in that vesBul. but this was not proven.
It Is clear, however, that the British authorities at
Jamaica have allowed a vessel to clear from their
Custom House with arms for Cabral. It is therefore
asked her, "Why this hit at John Bull over the

PERTINENT QUBBTIONS.
"Whv did not the American Admiral go down to
Port Hoyal, Jamaica, aud menace the namesake of
bis President, governor urant, ana run aown ana
capture the English vessel carrying succor to Cabral
under the eyes of the British Admiral In these
waters, on board the Iron-clad Defence?" It is
further asked by the Ilaytiens by what right has the
American flag been raised in the Bay of Samaua
before the benate or me united states nas rati
fied the treaty of acquisition, ana before the
Honse of Representatives has appropriated the
money out ot the public treasure to consummate it?
Who has given the Executive such a war-making

After delivering his message to the Provisional
Government, the Admiral went as far as Cape Hay-

But news of his menace was not long in reaching
the English Admiral at Jamaica, who Immediately

It is generally understood In financial quarters
that a clique Is formed in New York and having
its ramiucations ncre and in other cities 01 tne
Union, and even, It is said, In Europe, with a view
to a grand assault at a given time both on the
gold and bond markets, ine recent violent ao
preseioa In gold duriDg the last week is believed
by many to be only preparatory to a "bull"
movement ultimately. This mav or mav not
be a correct view of the question, but in view of
its probability it would be well for those having
an itching for speculation to keep aloof. The
men wno control tuese movements are shrewd
and desperate characters who are wllllnsr to risk
all for a sudden fortune, and those who are not
willing to throw away honor and credit when
the odds are ten to one against them bad better
keep their money in their pockets.
In the loan market there was an ntter lack of
animation. Tbo supply is largo, the demand
limited, ana rates easy Deyona all precedent.

on the table.
On motion of Mr. Howard, tbe joint resolution anthoriz
Ing ihe Northern Pacific Railroad Company to imne its
bonds for tbe construction of its road, and to secure tbe
same by mortgage. The amendment of tbe Paoitlo Com
mittee, allowing deflciences of lsnd to be made np by tbe
company from witbin ten miles of each aide of Uie road,
was discussed.
Mr. Howard said It wsa not designed to Increase by a
ingle acre the real quantum of land promised to tbe com
pany by its ohsrter.
Mr. Williams thought tbe good faith of Congress to those
railroads required it to help in their construction
Mr. Cssserly reiterated bis objection to tving no great
quantities ef i he public domain in tbe hands of corpora
tioOH, and remarked that there was no Security against
extravagant additioas in the future to the presentuoee
sive grant to this company.
Mr. Htewart e xprewed the opinion (hat it was simply a
question between a monopoly of desolation and a mono
poly of publio Improvement.
After further remarks made by Mr. Oorbett the morn
ing hour expired, and the bill was laid over.
Sir, Trumbull, from the Judicisry Committoe, reported
back the biU relative to taking the census, and asked its

Mr. Julian, from the Oommlttoe on Public Lnds, re

Mr. Cox, rising to a personal explanation, said that he
had noticed an editorial In tbe Mew York HrraUt, attri
buting to some New York member the appointment of a
cadet from Ohio, and saying that that member had
one towards "Sunset" to make . bia appointment,
le thought that that pleasant way of describ
ing it was a mode of referring to himself,
nd therefore he desired to say to the House, and through
tbe Associated Press to the gentlemanly editor of tns
llrtaM, that be bad made no cadet appointment at alL
and did not know that he had any to make, and that
when be bad such an appointment to make he would
make it in his own district, with wbiou be was moat ids.

reported a bill to facilitate tbe adjustment of contro
versies between parties interested in maritime adven
tures and oontraou in the port of New York, and to esta

Mr. Ingerso' from tbe Committee on Roads and
Canals, roporiud a biU granting lands and the ight of
way for tbe railroad from Bt, James, Missouri, to Xittla
Rock, Arkansas.
Mr. Holman pre tested against giving away any more of
tbe publio lands. ... .
, Mr. Ingereoll explained that most of the land pro
posed to be granted to this oompany had been In ths mar
ket for the last fifty years at i so an acre, and bad been
subject to entry for the ls.it fifteen years at 13H seats an
aors, or free under the Homestead law.
Mr. llolman inquired as to the quantity of land pro
posed to be granted.
Mr. IngersoU stated that the quantity was estimated at
six hundred and forty thousand acres, extending over a
distance of about two bundrod and forty miles.
Objection was made that the bill should have been re
ported from tbe Committee en Public Lands, and not
from the Committee on Roads and Canals.
Mr. Burdott explained tlist one acre out of ten of ths
land proposed to be granted was not fit for settlement
and cultivation. It was in what is known as the Bwitaer
bnd ot Missouri, but the building of this lailroad would
develop tbe mineral interosta of that region, and make
tbe land valuable.
Mr. Boyd vouched for all that had been said by his sol
league (Mr. Burdett) about the povertynf that land for
agricultural purposes. Without tbe opening of s railroad,
that land might remain there uninhabited for a thousand
years. The whole 640,000 acres could not be sold for $o40
to sny man who bad travelled through that region.
Mr. MeUormick made a statement to the sains effect.
The lsnd bad been in the market for thirty years, and had
then been graduated to IS Jt cents an acre, and yet it had
not bees taken up even at that price.
Mr. Ingorsoll argued that tins was a small matter, as all
tbe land granted under it would realize to IbeUovern
mens at the present price only eight thousand dollars,
but the opening of this line of railroad would be of groat
advantage.
Mr. W illioms offered an amendment reserving to tbe
Government theright to hi the rate of freight and pas-
"jrfrTngsrsoll said he had no objection to that.
