In “The heart ot Midlothian” is a reguiar ras eal called Ratolipfe, who, after having been twice or thrive almost within the grasp : of the turns thief-catehOr and turnkey at the end, betraying, arresting, and imprisoning his former accomplices. Lord BnqnouAit is a sort of iegaIIiATOUFFE. He realized a large fortune at tho Nisi Prius bar, as counsel lor parties in suits, and now, in bia old age, a pensioned ex- Cbancellor,: he eadeavora ' to. sacrifice the lawyers, by serving the public. He, would throW'downthe ladder by which he mounted. He would reduce costs to a reasonable limit. He would curtail tjie charges (and incomes) of the attorneys, He would bring Law doWn to a small price—hay, lie would even abolish suits of law I ~ His hobby, at present—in which a great many peoplo in England back him—is to con stitute Courts (there aro such in Prussia, we beiievo,) to which all disputes shall be referred.- They would pre rvent' unnecessary litigation, he thinks. He says that much injury was suffered in society 'from litigation,'which might be prevented, and that actions commenced, it might be in anger or in error, were often continued through feelings of pride or resentment. He added, that , the; examiners of tho Court of , Chancery had stated that the great majority of casOa which came before them either, had been originally, or.in the course/of the suits had resolved themselves into, mere questions of costs, and had thus hocome the attorneys’ actions rather than those of the nominal plain tiffs and defendants. AJl'this is very well; but what arc lawyers to do if lawsuits ore thus nipped in the bud ?- All yery Well for the publio—but for the poor attorneys wliat a "prospect! Starvation will stare them in the thee, and they may qomplain, with Othello, that their occupation isj gone!— Lord Beouoeam evidently is amanwho endea vor sto forgot thatho once was very glad to hold a brief in any lease,' Courts of Reconcilement, in* deed (' By-the*by, if this goes on, we shall see the bar dwindle down to a, bagatelle. A new generation of lawyers, will , arise, who will scarcely believe that in one case, (which orlgi jially,. might' have been arranged in half an hour or so, had the parties met under suitable guidance,) the late Lord Tatmo, then the Sergeant Wilde, received a fee of £B,OOO with his brief. This was the Small and Attwood .case, in which the litigation spread over nearly three years, and in which over £50,000 went among lawyers and witnesses! PaooßEss op the Paoimo Railroad.—The Victoria (Texas) Advocate says: -Dr. Fretwcll, of Port Layaoa, who passed through town last Wed* nesd&y, informed us that the work of laying down the railroad is progressing finely—that all the oroeS'ilet for fifty miles are paid for and will soon be on the ground—that the grading of fifty miles has also , been contracted for, and nearly all paid for.' The iron' for five miles of tbo road has been procured, together With an engine and several caw, all of- which are shipped and will bo soon on the ground. The iron 1b a superior artiole; and the ties, which aro laid two foet annrt from centre to centre, are the hearts of white pine, six by eight inobte. Arrangements: have been made, as the .Dootor informs us, for two hundred bands, who will soon heat work. - TheSamo paper informs us that tta expedition in charge of Capt.

[Correspondence of The Press,] Augpst 11,1857. , ! TDJEJ WBTMOBB PBTB, Grayly pawned the morning of the great fete of Monday, and many an anxions look was oast at clouds much bigger than a man’s hand. The day was, lowering, and the moot point was, “ is it a fog .or rain?” the day wore on in the'uncertainty of gloom. Decidedly It wilt not rain now, and at one P. M. was the high-tide of scurrying hair dressers and distrooted ohambrieres. The battle of art was begun—Newport was at the toilette. At three, car riageafter oarringe appeared at the hotel doors; at half-past, the Bret flounoes dawned on the horizon; thicker and thiokerthey oame, till at four the rood to Mr. Wetmore’s was a mass of flying vehicles. Soon the.queue was made, and by half-past four carriages in hundreds were depositing the guests on the ooean side of Chateau sur Mer. This is tho back entrance—too small for such a pile; but there Is no time for taking notes or making reflections. Tho lady in front remarks curtly, that your foot is on her.flounce, instead of its native heather; the lady behind begs pardon sharply, and disentangles her guipure mantle from your protruding button. On and on sweeps tho crowd; a hasty bow to the host, a half curttcy to the hostess, and you are irresistibly impelled in the line of, tnaroh through the wide piam enclosed for- tfye occasion, and into a cOvfercd Vay leading to the vast tent where, the Germania; are already in. full blast, and enough areMsembled to fIU wUhou>t,crowding the beauti ful danOlng-toom. What a dazzling sight it la l Women in- eyery variety of dress flitting about, with bright eyes and gay faces. At first it seems a mere mass of color, like a gorgeous tulip-bed; by degrees yofl learn to break the whole into detail, and separate the soene into parts; The Ugh! was most favorable, for it wasolondy without shadows; the pretty looked beautiful—the plain passed for classic. Nature, in beneficent mood, bod given this crowning excellence where money and will stopped, short. The, arrangements, made with a lavish hand,, left nothing to desiro; it was evi dently a success. The first waits begins, and tho crowd .slowly gives ground to tho sappers and miners of the regiment of dancers. The privileged holdback. The first, dance is usually a fruit of benevolence; there is no entrain. Wo must wait awhile, and walk farther round into the tont. There is Mine. S l,of the corps diplomatique , tall and well dressed, with her party, Mrs. Sr —t and Miss T 1* That daTk-ey ed elega w te in violet , brocade and point lace is Mrs. K e, whoso un rivalled dejeuner some two years baok was, pro bably, father to the thought of this feto. , That beautiful woman in white silk, with bonnet trimmod with purple, is Mrs. L e. That sweet, young-looking creature, is Mrs. W. D—-n, whose rich dress alone stamps her as marriod. Mrs. J. K if, in greon and white brocade, and hor love ly sister, Miss G. 0 n, are among the 'fairest. Miss O.’a dress of green and white tarlotan, with her long, fair curls j recalled Undine. Mias K-—y, in two skirts of white silk, odged with plfck, looked oalm and serene in her quiet beauty. Miss P——e, of South Carolina, was charming in white and bluo. Miss C—-r-s, of New York, In currant colorod and white muslin, with a coquettish bonnet of the same colors, had invaded the married ladies’ provinco, and danced bonnet and all; so did Miss H—n, of Paris notoriety, who wore a lilao spotted thin mus lin, with ohip bonnet trimmod to correspond, but, decidedly, the innovation Was less appropriate than tho simplor head-goar of tho other®. Miss. H n wore her hair In blown-up curie, too trying to admit of A'correot judgement as to what her beanty, un adorned, might be; certainly with her amphithea tre of curU she looked repose, and did not take rank among home beautlos. Tho L&noors are played, and straightway set upon Sot are formed, and this decidedly fashionable* danoe warms up the party. Tho Lancers has the immense advantage of being a compromise." The ultra fash onablea meet the ultra proper on common ground between the Polka and ,Quadrilie—tbe oldest inhabitant greets with ’ a Smile and a sigh the figure wbieh recalls the min uet d<l la oOur. J Tho curtsey, that touchstone of gface, has heen too long out 6f fashion to bo well done; but in the visiting figure the attempered bow is jmceessfuib -Vlvb ics Lknoiers i ■ And now tho fray D?uxtemps succeed each dthor, and of bright eyes and light dresses becomes bewildering. Presontly tbero is a percept bio swaying towards one side of tho tent, and MissW., the hostess, on the arm of Mr. Peabody, in whoso honor t|ie feto is given, slowly passes through the crowd, and then the side of the tent is suddenly raised and the guests to see thebuffet. All do not reaoh it, but the refreshment tent is thronged with the ourious and the hungry. Every thing Is thore in profusion—grapes in wild abnnd&noe from Mr, W.’s own grapery, oysters end pate 3, salmon a la tartare, and countless broods of chickens in mayonna so, champagne at discretion— every thing save seats 'and spaoe was to be found at that buffet. People ought to have gone and dotted themselves about tho lawn, but noone led the flock, and so, with that insane perseverance which characterizes a well-dressed mob, they kept close to the original fountain of good, and crowded one another aud the servantsto a jam. This, however, is,undoubtedly part of the enjoyment of a great festival, and pleasure is too subtle an element to of analysis. As the space in the dancing tent widened, other attractive faoos appeared. Misß C n, of Washington, in a dress of white moire; Miss J 1, of Philadelphia, stylish and intellectual looking; Miss H n, of Baltimore, in white and gold; Mrs. R looking beauti ful in bluo and white point-lace mantle, and a per fect milky way of fair croatures in white muslin nebula) of future light and life. There are spots oh tho sun ; there was a dress of dark silk almost entirely covered with a homely shawl; of pink orotchet, which had too watermelon bn effect to be seen so often in the waltz. There were dresses too dark and too short, and bonnets too much off the head and ’ a few too far on; tut, ox* oept the watermelon, these were lost in tho successful whole. It was a brilliant entertainment which drew crowds to Newport, and opened the soason a. deux battants. Viscount AUborp and Lord HarvOy and Mr. od6 Russell, of Hor Britannic Majesty’s Legation, with his brother, Mr, Arthur Russell, private Soerotary to Lord John; Baron Von Limburgh, Dutch Minister, and Sonor Guglia mos, Spanish Secretary, were the most distin guished foreigners present. There aro not so many of the corps diplomatique as usual at Newport. The Central American question is on the chess board at Washington, and where Lord Napier stays, there Count de Sartlgos flndß it most refreshing, and Baron Stocckel most attractive, and united they fry in their diplomats armor, with the New port waves booming unheeded on those cool shores. At seven oarriages began to drive off, and in half an hour the tent was vacant; two hours later tho floods descended and the tent was beaten to the ground. * The ball-room at the Bellevue received tho adjourned fete, for when the Turaptula onoe bites thofuvermustbe danced out; so ft gay even ing and-a long Gorman cotillion wound up this ' day’s pleasure, and all is told. GOSSIP ABOUT THACKERAY, The New York Times of yosterdoy has tho fol lowing : “Wo have been favored with the perusal of a private letter from this distinguished author and humorist, written to a New York friend after tho Oxford election. Ho writes in tbo best possible spirits, and takes his defeat like a philosopher. He made a capital run; though eeooud best in tho race.

Tho preparations for tho Napoleon ieto of tho 15th August wore progressing. Tho shun Malakhoff town approached completion, and some infantry had been encamped in tho Champs do Mars to givo a little eqlat to tho progress of tho works, and to protect tho workmen. The attack and defence of this tower was to bo conducted with every regard to effect, and, as theatrical managers say. quite regardless of expense. Amongst the party who are to assault tho sham Malakhoff will be many who wore in tbo attack [upon tho real tower. On July 29th tho Emperor passed along tho Boulevards on his return from Chilohs-sur- Marne. A considerable crowd assembled at tho Strasburgh railroad station and received him with acclamations. A detachment of dra goons attonded as an escort, but thoy were sent away; and the Emperor, seated (n an open .carriage with two of hia household, unattended by a single trooper, and with merely ibreo or four outriders and grooms, entered Paris. The Boulevards were lined with people,'who took off their hats and cheered as ho passed.

Two great questions just now pre-occupy the attention' of tho St. Petersburg public— namely, the abolition, or at least the reduc tion, of serfdom, and the reduction and reform in the army, if he reduction of the standing army is to be carried out, it is said, by the simple and Complete adoption of the Prussian system of a landwehr, or militia, in which every male individual may have to pass a period of ids life. At the same time it is in contemplation to put an end to tho system in troduced by tho Emperor Nicholas, of having a considerable part of the army constantly on a war footing. ■ As long as the Empire is at peae'e, the army is to be at peace, as in Prussia-*that’ia lo' say, leave of absence will be granted tb the Soldiers to a large extent, and the phy of the officers will ho reduced.

Tho Mormons refttsed, on which tho peasants expelled them by force, and drove them from tho villago. Several of the combatants were wounded. TURKEY AND THE EAST. The affairs of tho Principalities occupied general attention at Constantinople. Letters frpfn Bucharest state that a schism has openly declared itself among the Commissioners, Eng land, Austria, and Turkey being tho minority. Tho Sultan has presented Mme. Thouvcnel, wife of the French Ambassador, with a mag nificent diamond necklace. A Constantinople paper, tlio Press d’Orient, of tho 16th, is rather a curious specimen of the results of the censorship. Tho greater part of the paper is blank, and lvhoro com plete articles have not been suppressed, sen tences, and even singlo words, have bedn erased. A new pilgrimage to the Holy Land is being organized at Paris and Marseilles, to be com posed of one hundred and twenty porsons, and to leave Marseilles on the 20th inst.

They demand for his ransom 200,000 piastres and the releaso of two oi their band, who are in the prison of Salonica. WEST INDIES, A planter in Barbadoes calculates the excess of the value of the sugar crop of that island this year over that of last, owing to tho ad vance in tho price, at not less than £760,000. There were disturbances at Dominica, arising out of public dissatisfaction at tho legislation on the subject of the rum duty. The Governor hud been requested to dissolve tho Assembly, but declined. Biots ensued, and some blood was spilt. In Granada a colored man had been elected to the House of Assembly. At St. Vincent tho cane crop, already reaped, was extremely good. Tho great« slavo contract” made by tho Emperor Napoleon, for a supply of Africans for Martinique, was openly lauded in the local papers, and an imitation of his ex ample by England recommended as a first means of saving her West India colonies from ruin. Tho Echo of tho Hague says: <,We have now before us threo bills for the abolition of slavery in the West Indies, just presented by the Minister of tho Colonies to tho Second Chamber. From a rapid examination of them, we can affirm that they only nominally abolish slavery—a fact which will surpriso no one when it is known that they are based on tho ideas of the governmental commission which was no minated some time ago to adjourn the solution of the quostion. According to these profects, tho Government will disburse a sum. exceeding 12,000,000 florins to purchase tho slaves, who are afterwards to bo allowed to continuo to work for their masters as previously, or to labor under the direction of public functiona ries in phalansteres specially established for them; ■ but they are not to regain their real li berty until they shall have reimbursed the ex penses of their protended emancipation, and shall besides have obtained tho consent of tho authorities. The object seems to bo to estab lish In'the West Indies a species of black com munisth.” INDIA AND CHINA. •Lieutenant-General Sir Colin Campbell, G. C. 8., has been appointed an extraordinary Member of the Council of India. The East India Company have determined to have recourse to the Cape of Good Hope for a supply-of horses for service in India. All regiments now under orders for India are to take from their depots every man tit for ser vice. The specie taken out from England by the last nine India mail packets amounts to the enormous sum of £6,924,000, or upwards of 1 00 tons of gold and silver. The natives or India, it is said, cherish a Brahminical prediction that the British rule in India would last just 400. years; perhaps the prophecy lias had some effect in the present mutiny, since it is just 100 years since Lord Olive virtually subjected the Empire.. The Euphrates Telegraph is to bo com menced immediately. A large quantity of telegraph stores has been despatched for Bag dad, and Lieutenant Hawes, of the East India Company’s service, and Borne officers of tho European and Indian Junction Telegraph Com pany’s service, will start forthwith for that town to begin the construction of the pro posed line. The Revenue op India.— ln 1853-4 the In dian revenue was £26,610,000, being£2,o44,ooo less than the expenditure; in 1854-5 the reve nue was £27,312, being £1,707,000 short of the expenditure; in 1856-6 the revenue was £28,891,000, being £972,000 less than tho ex penditure ; and the estimate for 1850-7 is that tho income will be found to amount to £29,- 344,000, and tho expeitsoto£Bl,B2o,ooo, show ing an anticipated deficiency of £1,981,000. The principal source of income—the land re venue-had increased from £14,848,000 in 1853-4, to £16,682,000 in 1856-7. The cus toms had increased in the same period from £1,283,000 to £2,029,000, while the revenue from salt had somewhat decreased, and that lVpm opium remained at nearly th& same amount. Under the head of charges we find, from 1868 to 1857, that the direct claims upon the revonno, including charges of collection and cost of Balt and opium, had increased from £0,805,000 in 1863, to £7,380,000 in 1857; tho civil and political establishments, from £1,973,000 to £2,500,000; the judicial and police charges from £3,307,000 to £2,638,000; buildings, roads, Ac., from £659,000 to £1,216,000; military charges from £10,168,000 to £10,637,000; buildings for military purposes from £292,000 to £615,000; the Indian navy, from £472,000 to £603,000. The interest on debt, on tho other hand, has decreased from £2,504,000 in 1858, to £2,162,000 in 1857. The ships sent out to reinforce the French and English naval divisions in China were to assemble on tho Ist of August at Hong Kong, which is thqir point of rendezvous. After a lull of hostilities, but a continuation of watchfulness on tho part of tho British Ad miral, operations of a vigorous character were recommenced in the waters of Canton. On the 27th of May thirteen Chinese junks were captured by the British forces; on the follow ing day twenty-seven were captured; and on the Bth of June no less than one hundred and twenty-seven war-junks, mounting 900 guns, were taken and destroyed. The Chinese fought with more skill than they usually display against Europeans, and with a bravery, or ferocity, which they never before exhibited. The British Joss on the last occasion was three officers 'and eight men killed, and three officers and fifty-three men wounded. The loss on the side of the Chinese is not mentioned. By the result of these operations Canton lies wholly at the mercy of the British Admiral, who may thus continue to be the master of tho situation, and perchance bring Commissioner Ych to reason, without any necessity for the employ ment of British troops, who are more wanted aud better employed in India. The dispute remains as before, a purely local one, in which the Emperor of China is not involved, and from which ho may yet escape participation by dis avowing tho acts of his commissioner. FURTHER FROM HAVANA. (PXRXUPIRE CITY, AT NEW-YORK.) TIIE EXPLOSION OF THE BANK BUBBLE. Yesterday we gave a brief account of the panic which prevailed in money circles in Havana. The correspondent of the Daily 2Y vies, under date of August Bth, says; u The predictions of the American Press and of some of our most influential capitalists have been fully realized, and the grand bubble of Cuban stock who were considered to be in affluent circumstances a fow months ago. The worst feature in the thing is that nearly all the banks are involved jin tho general ruin. They havo spoculntud os heavily in the new and organized companion as all the rest, und havo made themselves responsible for tho pay-' meut of instalments in companies that hour on their faces the impress of oertuln failure. The;conse quence has been a constant drain on their specie for paper that cannot be quoted, aud which they would gladly disposo of at par. Some of them have paid ns high as 150 per centum premiums for the “ Credito MohtliarioP Tho fact of the weak state of the banks became generally known lost jlouduj morning, and there was a general rash made by the depositors for their funds. Imagine thpir sur prise on finding a notioe that, with the consent of tho Captain-General, payments had been suspended until further advice Some wore frantic wi>th rage and despair. I never saw in my whole life such a collection of sod visages. The Spanish Bank was assisted by tho Government with about $1,500,000 in specie, aud stood the run bravely. The crowd of pooplo holding the notes for which they loudly domandod gold, was so groat and upUy that the guard of soldiers stationed below hnd to drive them off. It is a remarkable fact that whilst the Span ish bouses were drawing out thoir deposits, oil the foreign houses, without a single exception; helped the bank in every possible way. On Monday the Captain-General* called several meetings of the merchants and riob planters to devise somo speedy moans of affording relief to the banks, and restoring confidence to the panic stricken llabaneros; the most prominent Was one uanimously adopted for the capitalists of Havana to guaranty the Spanish Bank in its operations of loaning money to tho other banks for six months, by mortgages on their property or oash. About $8,000,000 wore raised in loss than half an hour, some of the merchants giving their signatures for $500,000. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed in this mooting, and all our moneyed men were present. After addressing the audience on the necessity of adopting some important measure for the salvation of the Island, Gen. Concha retired from the room, so that his presence might not be an obstaole to the voluntary subscription that each one was expected to make. Tne result of tho meeting was extremely satisfactory, and had he called for S2OjOOO,OOG, it would havo boon forthcom ing. His Excellency was as much frightened at tho oriticftl situation of the island as any ono elso. —probably more so, as he is aooused of having con tributed largely to the rapid development of this new kind oi gambling in the island. The best banks in the city had to stop payments for throo days, and many doubt whether tho Habaneras will ever be caught trusting their funds again in the banks. The merchants have gotten up a petition to tho Captain-General, asking for the admission of American gold into our circulation at par for tho term of twelve months. “A groat many of the stock-brokers hare fled to parts unknown, fearful of being obliged to dis gorge. X havo heard of several partied who are known to havo sold the same stock ttoenty times to as many different parties. Business was transacted in such a loose manner that it is strunge that the u safe game ” was not more generally practised. “The excitement in the money market has been so great that politics are not eveu thought of, and, though tho Spanish and Mexican mail-boats have arrived, no nows has transpired. The Spanish squadron continues in our harbor, offering fresh victims to tho yellow fever,and from all ujipoarances it would seem that they would roinaiu until after tho equinoctial gales have passed. The new Ad miral does not seem to bo so warlike os his prede cessor, and several of tho ships look like they were laid up in ordinary.” Tnn Latest !—The Isabel has since arrived at Charleston with four days* later nows from Havana. She brings the intelligence that tho banks had re sumed payment on the 10th inst., and that oonfi deuco was restored. The Case of Rev* T. J. Simpson, The Pittsburgh Cumberland Presbyterian of this wook contains a lengthy communication from Rev. T. J. Simpson, relative to the serious charge preferred against him, and of which ho whs hc quittod by thejPresbytory. We copy the following extract: “For the Inst few weeks my name has been trumpeted through the country in connection with the charge of seduction. For a time tho eager multitude caught tho dying rumor without stop ting to inquire whence it came or on what it wns founded. Tho reaction has now com menced, howover, and tho Church and the world demund the author of such an infamous charge. Is he to bo found ? I challenge the world to produce a singio individual who will acknow ledge that he has over made such a charge, much less assume the responsibility of making it good. Has tho Prosby tery made tho charge } After inves tigating the evidence in tho cuso, tho Presbytery re fused oven to entertain tho chargo, it being simply ridiculous. Who, then, Is tho author? Puma cla mosa! An intangible, irresponsible nondescript, who, in this instance, has certainly overtaxed her energies to spread tho foul slander. Who, then, is to bo believed ? I huvo spent four weeks in one untiring effort to deteot tho author, uud no one can bo found. Tho Allegheny Presbytery, at iny request, has mot three different times in the lost month, and devoted, in nil, nearly two weeks in a fruitless effort to truce its origin, to find its au thor, or at least by accumulating all the evidence in the caso, to know if there was ground on which to predicate such a charge; and it has unanimous ly deolared there is not. I ask again, then, who is to bo boliovod > Tho Presbytery or rumor? Ru mor hus cireiilatodlhe charge; and the Allegheny Presbytery, composed of men provorhiul for their piety and integrity, have solemnly dcoUred, before God and the world, with the facts bofore them, that thore is no evidence to sustain it.” The slave who was shot in Cincinnati a few weeks ago, by the United States officers, who were trying to oapture him, has since died of his wounds. The officer whom he stabbed has recovered. The sheriff of Polk county, N. C., wns mur dered about ten days ago while attempting to levy an execution. There are flfty-six manufacturers of tobacco in Riohmond, Va., whole united capital amounts to four or five millions of dollars. TWO GENTS, general news . Thß pepple of Michigan seem to be greatly exercised concerning a recent decision of the Su preme Court of that State on the validity of tax ti tles. It would appear, from articles in several pa pers, that the county treasurers have been in toe habit of posting notices of sates of land for taxes in obscure places, where the owners were not likely to observe them, a few days previous to their sale The case in question was Niles v. Walker, and the decision was that the connty treasurer must give a reasonable notice of the place of sale; that six days is not sufficient notice; and that the notice of the place must be coextensive with the time of sale. It is said this decision will render null and void a ve ry large number of tax sales throughout Michigan.

The child was in a smafl hand-car riage, and the nurse was leaning against a post' set in the ground whioh the cars strucK "and dislodged. The girl was flung to some distance, and the child caught by its clothing and carried for several yards by the wheels of the car; but both escaped with scarcely any injury but the extreme fright and shock.” Strahan, one of the London bank swindlers, who is about to be transported to Botany Bay, is a man of great wealth, and was in the habit of giv ing the moat extravagant entertainments to this friends.

CUNNINGHAM Of ANOTHER NEW CHARACTER Strange Statements—Dr. Uhl sad Dr Fisk. [Prom the New York Daily Times.] We are told concerning Dr. Uhl and his connec tion with Mrs. Cunningham—-and toe proof is pro mised as forthcoming *with the trial—that when the production of a Vegas heir was first propose! to him, he refused peremptorily to be a partner to any such crime. Jin. Cunningham said: •• Well, you can do as you please ; if yon won’t, others can be found who will assist me; and if you expose me, os you threaten, it will be of ho T\se, and 1 wilf fol low you up to the end of your days.” .Nothing of this sort appeared in Dr. Uhl's affidavit, it is true, though Justice Davison was -informed that there were.important statements'corroborative apd ex planatory of what was taken, that had been com municated to his counsel. The same authority says that Mra. Cunningham proposed to Dr. Uni that he should make affidavit to the effect that, in the examination of the person of Miss Helen, in order to authenticate her state ments before Coroner Connery, Dr. Woodward had token unwarrantable liberties with her. If Dr. Uhl would make such an affidavit. Mrs. Cunning ham promised to bring a suit against Dr. Wool ward, laying toe damages at $20,000, one-half of which 6he would give to Dr. Uhl. Dr. Uhl formerly lived in Bond street, near the world-renowned No. 31.' This nearness on the street probably first suggested to the smart widow his employment as her physical counsellor. Dr. Fisk, who has been attending‘Mrs. Cun ningham for gastritis ever since the sham accouch ment—a gastritis caused, it is now said, by repeated doses of tartar-emetic—knew nothing of Mrs. Cun ningham until he was summoned one day- last week, to attend her at toe suggestion of Mr. Staf ford, whose family physicianhe Is. He at once proposed personal examination to her, but she sturdily refused it, though the Doctor urged it as essential for a proper diagnosis and safe treatment. It is a curious fact, that while Dr. Uhl carried in his breast the secret of the bogus baby. Judge Dean, the bogus mother's counsel, was a lodger In the same bouse, and the two were in daily inter course with each other, showing that tht Doctor can keep a secret when he chooses. [Prom the New York Herald of yesterday.) The Baby at the Museum. Mrs. Elisabeth Anderson and the u Dakhng J3oby” of Mrs. Cunningham on Exhibition. Mrs. Elisabeth Anderson and her' baby, who ■ have figured so extensively for the past two weeks in connection with the Bond street farce, have been offered a star engagement at the Museum, and made their debut yesterday, in accordance with the following announcement: Babxum’B Awebicax Hvsxtnr.—*«The bogus Bnrdell baby” is now to be seen at the Museum— having just arrived from Bellevue Hospital, and, with its real mother, Mrs. Anderson, been placed at this establishment to gratify, for a few'days only, the public cariosity. This is the genuine borrowed baby whioh was the valuable instrument, through District-Attorney A. Oakey Hall,"Esq.' and Dr. Uhl, of exposing the stupendous Bond street fraud, and which was pronounced by Mrs. Cunningham to have the “ exact nose and chin” of the late Dr. Burdeil. The’ embroidered baby’s dress provided by Mrs. Cunningham is kino at toe Mnseum, together with a correct photographic likeness by Meade Brothers, of Mw. (humiaghom, alias Mrs. 'Burdeil. The whole may be seen on toe first floor of the Mnseum every day and even ing, at all the usual hours of exhibition. charge for admission to the Museum notwUhftand ingthis additional attraction. • - r The startling poster, however, failed to ereate any very extraordinary excitement; and. - duriag the day, the attendance at the Museum was not unusually large. A number of idle people visited the notorieties, as a matter of coarse, bat they created ho such furore as the management had been led to anticipate. Mrs. Anderson is a woman about 35 years of age, but looks older, and has evidently experienced much suffering and sorrow. She had au the ner vousness and agitation consequent upon a first ap pearance “in public on the stage,” but went through her trying role quite as successfully as most debutantes. She still looked weak and sickly from her recent confinement; and if she manages to live through the excitement, the questioning and exposure to whieh she is subjected, it will prove her to be a woman of remarkable constitu tion. It would be a trying ordeal, for a perfectly healthy woman, to ait from 10 A. M- to 10 P. H., and be inspected and questioned continually by eveqr ignorant and canons visiter; bat it seem 3 positively cruel to subject this poor woman to this treatment. She ha 3 no relatives to counsel her, and it seems like taking advantage of her poverty and inexperience. The baby was of coarse the centre of attraction. It was inspected and criticised, tonohed and fon dled, and not a few of the female visiters kissed r the “ little darling,” a liberty toe youngster al ways resented by bawling vigorously whenever it was dooe, tbcugh nSually its temper whs exceed of lto vftalityVw tost vm perfectly l regariflea cfiappairiHSNfcS* In all other respects Jnstitia Anderson (a name joggested by Warden Daly, of Bellevue Hospital,' and ac quiesced In by toe mother) is'Uke other female babies, and Us existence vibrates betweazf suetion and somnolence. - In addition to the mother and ehild > a portion of Mrs. Cunningham and the clothes she provided for the heir to the Burdeil estate were also .on exhibi tion. The photograph is not a good one,-and must be the original of the viUfinous likenesses'of Mrs. Cunningham that* fill the-shop windows/and are published in the flesh newspapers. -Thq clothes consists of a baby’s long frock, embroidered, and bib, and several mysterious flannel garments, tho use of which is known only to those who are pasted in toe secrets of babyhood. Mrs. Anderson was of course compelled to sub mit to a cross-examination from every person who paid twenty-five cents to inspect the family group. To one she would have to recount the history of toe child, to another her own history; a third would inquiry after her husband, and the fourth would be satisfied with nothing' less than' tho whole story, from beginning to end. During the morning one of the visiters, who wa evidently a “down easier,” after compelling the poor woman to tell the story over.fbr a hundredth time, said: ** Well, how much did you get forgiving up your child?” ‘‘l'did not any money,” replied the mother; I did it because Mr. Hall wanted it, and because 1 was told it would be the means o? dis covering a bad woman.” The visiter withdrew, slightly disgusted that h could not find one who had made anything by th trick. Another questioner, a joungman with long hair and weak eyes, timidly inquired if she might not be mistaken in the child—-might not some other woman’s baby be returned to her instead of her own; but he was immediately crashed by the in dignant mother informing him, that “of course a mother oan always tell her own child from another woman’s ” During the afternoon a number of women visited the Museum to see the baby. The young ladies, of course, were in extacies, and pronounced it a “little dear;” while the more mature females were dis posed to be patronizing, and thought it very good of ita kind, but that it was' not a very good kind. Mrs. Anderson and her child are wafted on by a nurse, who exhibits the child when the laother is compelled to retire to escape the questioning of the visiters. THE CROPS. Heavy Arrival of Wheat from Kentucky. [From the Cincinnati Gazette of August U.l From Mr. R. Strader, conductor of the Coving ton and Lexington Railroad, we learn that twenty five cars, containing each three hundred bushels of wheat, arrived at Covington depot, last evening, from the interior of Kentucky. Thirtceh full cars were on the side-tracks along the line of the rail road waiting for a locomotive to bring them down. From two farmers who came down with the wheat above-mentioned, we learn that the crops through middle Kentnoky are immense—the yield exceed ing that of any previous year. On Friday the shipment of wheat commenced, and fifteen oar-loads were brought down to this taarket. On Saturday seventeen car-loads more arrived, together with about two thousand bushels of oats and barley. On yesterday wheat was deliverable it any sta tion on the line of the railroad at $l.lO a Si 15 Tho railway company this year aro charging 14c. per bushel for its transportation from Lexington to Covington. Last year 13c. was demanded. ° On Friday and Saturday last seventy car-load 3 of cattle arrived in this city from the interior of Kentucky, via the Covington and Lexington Rail road. The Case of the McKeesport Murderers. The Pittsburgh Chronicle states that Colonel Row ley, deputy clerk of the Court of Quarter Seisions, has just completed a record of the case of the Com monwealth vs. Henry Fife. Monroe Stewart, and Charlotte Jones, recently convicted of murder in our criminal court, and now lying under sentence of death in the county jail. The record is very voluminous, covering some sixty closely written pages, and embracing the various' exceptions taken to the ruling of the Court, do., during the trial. The record was made out at the. desire of the de fendant’s counsel, who purpose, if a writ of error be allowed them, to take the case before the Su premo Court. The writ must bo procured within thirty days from the day the prisoners received their sentence, otherwise tho matter cannot ho taken before the Supreme Court at all, and the law. unless the Governor interferes, will have to take its course. Counsel for the defence, in view of thi3 fact, havo made application to Judge Lowrie. ask ing that a writ of error in the ease may issue. His honor has signified his willingness to examine the record with as little delay as possible, so that an early decision in the matterinaybe expected. Tho Supreme Court meets in Snnbury on the first Mon day of October, and, should Judge Lowrie grant a writ of error in the case, it will probably be argued there. It is possible, however, that it might be postponed till the meeting of the court here on tha second Monday of October, as more convenient to the counsel engaged in theense. When argued tbe proceedings will be regarded with intense interest, not only by the wretched convicts themselves, but by all classes of the community. The Latest News from Cayuga Bridge.
