from limited opportunities afforded,

-Ifully planned, so cleverly executed,
oand the evidence so darkened after per

He died with all the symptoms of arse

stomach atter death. What the evidence
is against the woman I have not- yet
learned, Pint will write by an early mail.
A man named Miller, said to have been
her paramour and an accessory to the
murder, is likewise. under ar

tried separately. The case of

CRY Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.l
NEW YORK, Tune 21.—The following is
a condensed account of Minister Webb's
correspondence with the - 13razilian Gov
ernment: In Octob-r, 1856, the Ameri
can whale ship Canada got ashore on the
Garris reefs, near the mouth of- the
Rio Grande del Norte. Brazilian
soldiers, in spite of , the re
monstrances of captain and crew,
seized the vessel and - selling her cargo
deposited the proceeds in the Brazilian
Treasury. Reclamation was made by
onr Government. The ownere , renewed
their claims in 1864, through Minister
Webb, for damages and Interest to the
amount of tlOO.OOO. Finally Minister
Webb was authorized tn‘compromise on
- the payment of 170,006, or one-fifth the
original amount. In April, the late
Baron de Calegipe, on behalf of the Bra
zilian Government, reiected thlioffer, on
the ground that the Brazilian Minister
at Washington had not advised his
Government, that he had been informed
by Mr. Seward of his having issued
renewed instructions to the Minister in
Brazil, and would wait until officially In
formed of the -fact through their own
Minister. General Webb wrote to the
Baron, protesting against his taking Buell
abaurd ground, and declaring that if it
Was; maintained he should ask for his
passports. On the first of May Minister
Webb received a note from the Brazilian
Foreign Office, stating no - disrespect
was intended toward him, but that
the American Government not hav
ing announced to • the Brazilian Min-:
later at Washington the result of the
reconsideration, nor of the issue of re
newed and modified instructions to Gen.
Webb, keeping his Gevernment in the
same state of uncertainty that it was in
before,
and from which it cannot depart
except in such manner as shall have full
consideration for the respect due to its
Minister and from one Government to
the other.
On receiving this note, Gen. Webb re
plied in severe language, demanded his
passports and obtained them. As he was

he did not care; that when he got to

GiOver drew forth a pistol from hiti
bosom and partly levelled it at alb:Wor

three-quarters of an hour after this the
T i
steward (MeA.nally) came into the lion
ingroorn and arrested 'Mover, putting a
pair of handende upon him, ha offering
no Irealstance. She did not hear of the
death of Anderson until aftershe left the.

but said nothing about the above oc
carrence until about tizee weeks ago;
thinks it was during the present _
month, but coo neither remember tho
date, hour, or day of thcrweek,. except,
that was not Sunday. She saw Mc-
Anally, the stewart, in the back-yard of

verisation; during that interview she told-
Mid the above story; he appeared
to• be waiting. to see her, and when

she knew about this case, and
she then related about the quarrel
and! the drawing of the pistol.. Upon.
cross•examinatiou she sate sue was a
Catholic, but had not gone to confession
for,aome years, and of late went very.
rarely to church on Sunday. Didn't
know Glover and Anderson had ever had

he wbuld not have ordered him to go to

said he would not. He stated In refer

that he was kutfiet, peaceable man, in
