Bertha and Staithril Case.
Nmv Yonk, Feb 6, 1857.
The testimony in regard to the Bond street
rinirdei - etpse COntinues, to - flow in but now
that the u rdered Man 'is buried antout of
sight, public interest begins to flag. The
Curoner,bas been violently attacked by the
entire 90,Poss, fur, his ignorant
_and dis
gusting conduct during the
,Inquest; his in
vestigations so far led to no. satisfactory re
sult; the many circumstances that pointed to
Mrs. Cunningham and. Mr. Eckel as the per
petrators of the foul deed,:baving been grad
, explained away. Public opinion ' is
'changing in regard to these' parties ; two days
ago, , and everybody believed them guilty,
but at present it appears to he generally
thought.that though bad persons, 'they .
. are in- .
meek ut this Crime. .
One result of thit-ttial is Very unpleasant
to a vast-number of gentlemen who have hith
erto had a very good reputation. Among
the- witnesses are several keepers of houses Of
111-f rue, and their testimony brings into bn•
enviable notoriety the names of many weal
thyeand prominent citizens, ns frequenters of
their houses. Letters are read, sent to' these
*onion, from persons living in Fifth avenue,
Lexington' avenne, and other, fashionable lo
calities, the names and addresses being given
in full, mid undoubtedly causing the unfor
tunate possessors to be subsequently inflicted
with," Caudle lectures" to an unlimited extent.
The teetimony this'afternoon has been very
important. A Mr. Blaisdell hes testified that
shortly before lhe murder, Dr..Burdell had
told>him that lie feared there was a plOt going
On between Eckel, Snodgrass, Mrs. Cunning.
-ham and the Cenningham daughters to mur
der hiM, and he - entreated the, witness to oc
.
copy his room with, him, for this cracty. -It
has also been Proved that.Eekel was the man
married to Mrs. Cunningham in place of Dr.
Burdett, who, at the ante of the marriage was
said tube at Sltratoga.l. - Every day, the ease .
becomes tuore . :and more involved ; but one
thing Is revealed—the extent to which crime
and wickednessoc.an be carried on undetected,
among fashionale, and moderately wealthy
people—the'mlddle 'classes of New York.—
, The prisoners bear up very well.
,They are
Mr. Eckel, Mr. Snodgrass, Mrs, Cunningham,
•
the two .3tisses Cunningham. the two servant
girls of the hou4., and several witnesses. The
Rev. Richard dbx, - Rector of Zion (Episcopal)
Church, who 01p:tined an
. unenviable reputa
tion, from hisiconneetion with the . scandal-
Mis " Cok di Force case" is a prominent
*itness. .
We do not ticar so much of the. garrote.
now.a:days. The garroters are .becoming
frightened, bec.luse almost every one that' is
obliged to-be out lite at night carries a pock.
et-pisfol or cant. Another reason is that the
Burdell murder engrosses piiblie attention to'
the. exeltiiion alinost• everything else.
Were it not for the' Burdell case the charge
against Mr. Ba?ton,'of Philadelphia, fur coin
miffing a rapt? upon the person of a traveling
acquaintance, Miss 'Stafford, ;if Veririont,
would excite Much more . attention than it
does. This ea'tie has, today, been withdrawn
hi the complainant, whose counsel told her
that she could got. substantiate ,her, charges.
An Afflictive Dispensation.
Among the 'Most: painful privations and
disappointments which we have known, re
sultino. from 60. late terrible storm,- is the
ease. of r our friend C. L. Ward, Esq., of To

On Saturdayi the 16th instant, he received
a despatch by telegraph announcing the ar
rival of his family at Charleston, from Ha
vana, whither they had gone some months
since, to try thekffeet of a.changc of climate I
in behalf of his tdaug.h.ter, Who had latterly ,
e.viuced symptoms of a decline.- The tone of
the despatch was such as to create. great anx-i
iety, and he started instantly for ; New York,..
in hopes to reach the-Saturday's steamer for
Charleston. Ar;iving too lite, he immedi
ately turned his course southward in the rail
cars.. - In conseqaence of the stortn,, he was
two nights and t , lro days between New York
and Philadelphia, and the nitric. length of
time between the latter city and Washington
—reaching here duly to find his further pro•
gress at end fol. sortie time longer. The
'bay route by . Notifolk to . . Weldon has been
closed for several days in consequence of the

The Dallas Treaty.
The treaty with England negotiated by
Mr. DAM; according to the accounts Thant
Washington, is not likely to be confirmed by
the Senate. -,There.are,A suspect, reasons
for this opposition which do not appear on
the Surface, and are not generally understood
by the
,pitblic; and . it- would, perhaps, not
be stretching conjecture, if we were to sup.
pose that Mr. 'Buchanan's recent visit to
Washington may have been, more or less,
occasioned by a desire, on his part, that it
should not be Confirircld..
It is well koown that Mr. Buchanan labor
ed most earnestly, as Minister to the Court,
of St. James, for threelong years,. to settle
the Central American question, in such a
manner as to return home with some eclat as
a Diplomat: and it is equally well known
that all his labor ended in literally accom
plishing nothing, and that he returned home
without having succeeded in making any po
litical capital, or reputation as a 'Diplontat,
out of that controverted question. Mr. Dal
las was appointed his successor, and arrived
in England before Mr. Buchanan.'; departure.
In the course of a few months he accomplish
ed to the satisfaction of President Pierce and-
Secretary Marcy, all that -- 4 r. Buchanan had
labored to accomplish fur : years ; and
as this success. of Mr. Dallas may he'-regard
ed as, comparatively. speaking,. Fume reflec
tion. on Mr. Blictman's ill success, there are
those ofMr. Dallas' friends who have a
shrewd suspicion that Old Fuck is desirous
that the treaty thus made should not be. con
firmed. It seems to
. have the :appearance of
an issue„ between the incoming and outgoing
administrations; and as the rising sun is al-
ways More worshipped than the setting, Old
Buck has the' advantage • of Messrs. Dallas
Pierce - and Marcy. -
In this connection a thought occurs to us
in reference to Mr. Dallas' present position.
It is . well known that no love lost between
himself and Mr. Buchanan, and that, in short,
they cordially hate each other. Will • Mr.
Dallas, under these circumstances, volunta
rily return home, or will he stand .upon his
dignity, and throw the 'responsibility , Upon
Mr.' Buchanan to - meal! him ?T' And if he
should determine on the latter-course, will
Mr: Buclianot take that responsibility ? For
.our own part, we doubt not, that, timid as he
proverbially, is, his hatred toward Mr. Dal
las is so deckled, as to overcome -all consid
erations Of policy. and appoint another to
sopercede him. Time wig show.—Daily

It says that the superiority of Americanlron, '
• renders it, in reality, cheaper, even, when a
much larger price is paid
,fdr it, per ton.—
This fhet has been clearly establisned by the
experiments of several Pennsylvania lioads. I
About fifteen or •eighteen inmiths since a new 4
road . - was completed in our State whiCh used
1.4500 tons of American and -500 tons of the'
best foreign iron.' .
to thi. time about
200 liars, or from,4o to 50 tons of the For-I
eign iron, (nearly one tenth of the whole)has
beenreplaced on account of its having be,
corne worn out while-of the Americfaniron it
has not become necessary to replace more
than 10 bars, (about the two-thouSandthpart
of the whole.) . A more. Arik ing proofor the
superiority of-American iron could trot Well
have been afforded. Experiments by the

long before he resolves -to vote for the re:
