[By Telegraph to the Pltteborgh eszette.l NEW 'form, April 17, 1869. Intense excitement was created at Pro .duce Exchange this evening by the di& covery of a defalcation amounting to more than 5160,000. The defaulter is Mr. Peck, of the firm of Packer, Peck &Ca, owners of aniron elevator at the foot of Degraw street, Brooklyn: Four of five firms doing business on the Produie Exchange placed in the hands of the firm at different times, beginning with last fall, produce amounting in the ag. - gregatti to as fbilows: corn, 113,754 bush ebs, oats, 70,454 bushels, and rye, 7,561 bushels. Thie, it 'is allege& Peck disposed' of a market rates, amounting to about 5160,000. Yes terday Peck could not be found, and an examination of the books re vealed the fact of the defalcation. Al though the Most diligent search has been made, no trace of hie whereabouts can be found. Report.says he hat sailed for Europe; Mr. Packer, partner of the defaulter, la lying sick at his residence and much sympathy is felt for him by those who have had dealings with the firm. It is due to the Warehousing As sociationto say that the firm of Packer, Peck & Co. was not a member.. It is ru mored .on 'Change that one or two of 'the firms who have suffered by the de falcation will be obliged to suspend. This is the heaviest defalcation- in pro duce ever committed in this city. Ccinsiderable excitement was caused by the report that a strong expedition was about to sail from New York, with the tacit approval of the United States authorities. This is ascertained to bent least inaccurate in details: Numbers of mail; it is true, are being drilled in vari ous parts of• the city; arms are being bought in large quantifies and storekin convenient depots; but still the metropo lis will not be the point of departure for any, large expeditionary. force. For this We must look further South. The. Government Commissioners ap pointed to examine into the feasibility of the. ,Wist river . bridge have oceans plished their Ml* and approved allthe cal culations of M.r. Roebling, the engineer. Authority will doubtless be given to begin work on the return next week of :the Oommissionersfmm their visit to the west. Jas.

He has been identified by the teller as the man to whom he paid the 59.000 check. He has confessed he passed that check, states the amount he received as his share of the operation, and gives the names of the parties who forged the fli . e checks. An arrangement has been made; sub stantially in the nature of an OPPeal from Judge Blutchford's declaim, by , which all the questions argued before him in the Union Pacific Railroad case will be re argued before Justice Nelson, commence 1 lug on or about the 19th inst.

He. showed that Con gress had .never transcended the bc•tai. daries Of the Constitution. In;passing acts over the veto they had exercised 110' power not granted by that instrument: He accused Johnson ofhaving been the cause of all the troubles InTenneesee; of having stirred up bad feeling, nest by giving Brown:low Instructions to call ..on. .the United States for troops. He took: un Johnson's statement , that he freed the negroes Tennessee,and showed that when 'Lincoln hull announced his inten tion to proclaim freedom to the slaves, Johnson went to Washington and ' pre= veiled upcm the President to eaeept Ten nessee, and he only declared them free when they were so in fact..

He`would not cbarge Andy with insanity, but he would say he believed that if Johnson would retire to his home stGreenville, the gnawing(' of his conscience would give him no peace, and he.,wonld soon die. He ac cused Johnson of having deceived every party and everybodywho had ever heisted him; as having been an inebriate and profane man; said he exceeded- his au thority undOr the Constitution impris oning citizens of Nashville in the State , prison, and in assessing special taxies on others, whilst MiUtary'Governer. John son was prating about, the Constitution, and yet he had declared in a public ' speech in Nashville "Show me a man that talks about the Constitution, and I will show you a traitor." He warned the people in beware of Johnson. He was on a dark mission; plotting to disturb the peace and perhaps incite revolution.- In conetualosi he urged the disfranchised masses to cease making incendiary speeches, to abstain from murder and as sassination, and they would very speed ily be given the right of the ballot. So long as they indulged in acts of lawless ness, and were prolifid of threats, - they never would.get what they desired. He said he intended be a breakwater in the path of Johnson, and would ex- - pose his\ dark and damning record to the Yotiblic gaze. The speech was about three and one-half hours in length. He made no reference to the gubernatorial canvass, but accused Johnson of plotting in oonnection with the election of Su prefne Court Judges, which takes place next month.
