fame. The writer was on board Coat. Pataidsag's
Bag-ship, cbe Wertaals.
When Walker lauded at San Juan be took
posseeion OT --34tret's buildings, and oleo pf s

of Saratoga, iut.rtned him that he must give up
the 'chewier and evacuate the building*, which

ed to leave it. Ciley told him that he did not
recognise his authority, but that it be repeated

would leave. Ile states that Walker threatened
to shoot him if be cisme there again. On the
4th inst., forty.five of his men, under Col. Ander.
son, went up the river sod captured two steam.
ers and the fort of Castillo. Thus far all bad
gone well. He bad command of the river, sad
only waited for his reinforcements to go up the
river zed carry all before him. Oo Sunday, the
6th ia(st , flag-officer Hiram Pauldiog arrived
to this ship, the Wabash. The Eaglish ship of
the.lioe. Brunswick, and steam - frigate Leopard
arrived on the same day, and on the evening of
the 7th, the Milted States steamer Fulton Lieu
tenant Commandiog J. J. Almy. We were
obliged to anchor outside, there not being water
enough for a ship of our draft to go in.
Commodore Paulding determined to effect a
landing on the Bth
Early on the morning of the Bth we hoisted
out the launches and first cutter, and- got the
howitzers into them. At $* o'clock, commenced
to send the marines and boarder, to the Fulton.
The sea was so heavy that they bad to get out of
the after gun deck ports, one at a time, and have
their armee handed down to them. Upon get
ting alongside of the Ftltoo, it was very difieult
to get an meny,men, encumbered with theirarzoes,
on board without accident. Some few got over
board, but were rescued. To give you some ides
of what the sea was, I would state that while I
was in the boat, quite close to the ship, it would
sink in the trough, and an intervening sea would
bide the ship so that I could not see her topgal
lent mastheads. The launch•.. and first cutter
pulled into the harbor. After the men had an
been transferred to the Fulton, Commodore Paul-
ding went on board of her and hoisted his flag.
Captain Engle went in his gig, before all the
men bad le( the ship. He went on board the
Saratoga, warped her ahead, and sprung her
broadside to bear oa the bead quarters and '
magazine of General Walker
At 2 P. M., the Fulton ran alongside of Scott
wharf, where the men were landed, and formed.
Captain Engle now took command of all the active
fermi ashore and afloat, amounting to about 400
men
He directed Lieut. Sinclair, ie &emend of
the launches, to anchor within fire, second range,
of Walker's camp, but out of the Saratoga's line
of fire. He then took his aid, Shuff, and pulled
op to the head quarters of-General Walker, have
leg directed the commander of the Saratoga,
that when he returned from his interview, if be
wished him to fire he would wave his flag. The
ssme order was given to Lieut. Sinclair. The

oication from Flag Officer Paulding At soon
as he read it he slid: vurrender, and am
gander your orders " "Then, Str," said Captain
Engle, "haul down your fig "
lie immediately ordered it down
Captain Engle then said, -General, I am very

troops." They then spoke of the dtepuatituu or
the arms, &c The Captain in describing thi+
interview, vayif the behavior of Gen W ,was of

manner easy but.firm He speaks slowly but
ibe Bash of his eye tells yin that what be says
he means The Captain, with his Aid, then
left. At this time one of the steamers they had
captUred came down the river and anchored is
the stream, under the direction of Lieut. Sin.
Clair.
At 4 P 31. General Walker, under Abe order
of Cummodure Paulding, came on board the Ful
ton, and a short time afterwards, Captain Engle,
his Aid, and General Walker, were pulled of in
the gig to the Wabash The sea was running
so high that they were hauled up in their Coat.
The rest of ua, with Walker's men, soon fol
lowed in the Fulton, and about an hour after
darkrie were all on hoard of our own ship.
The Fulton, bearing the pennant of flag officer'
Paulding, during the preparations fur the attack,
was alongside of Scutt's wharf. Our men pres
rifled a handsome and formidable appearance,
and the rapidity and precision with which they
performed their evoluti•as were a high compli
ment to their tificers:
1',41 will see by the above description that
Walker had no chalice of a successful resistance,
and, happily, the day ended without our being
obliged to spill the blood of our countrymen.
The same correspondent writing from Aapin•
wall says :
Oa the 17th inst., all the prisoners, except
Gen. Wslkt:r mod his Secretary, were seat on

ed in the full tide of success, but many of the
privates seemed to be fully satisfied.
Captain Ommeny, of U. B M. ship Bruns
wick, wished to take part in the capture of
Walker and his men, but they were Americana,
and Commodore Paulding reserved the right of
punishment to himself.
Walker asserted on board this ship, that if the
English had landed the same force that we did be
would have fought them, doing all the damage
he could, and then taking to the bush, or, to use
his own expression, "If you had landed with
red coats on, I would have done you a great deal
of damage. I would have fought to the last
man"
This would intimate that he surrendered to
the flag. The truth is, boweyer, that be surren•

A CURIOUS LAW SUIT —A peculiar case was
tried in the Court of Common Pleas this week.
It will be remembered that after Parks murdered
Besitson, the gold supposed to have belonged to.
tbe murdered mat t less not found upon the body.
Shortly afterward 'Mrs. Parks and her brother
were arrested in Utica, New York, and about
$750 in gold found on them. Odbeiog brought
to Cleveland they denied owning the gold, the
brother of Mrs. Parks alleging that be met Parks
directing him to take eare of "Houle," (Mrs. P.,)
and he would take care of himself. At the pres
tot term of Court Mrs. Paris brought an action
against Mr. Edgerton, the prosecuting attorney
of Summit county, for the recovery' of the money,
which she claimed was her own previous to the
murder. Her statement, which was apparently
a truthful one, unshaken by the most minute
Gross-examination, was to the effect that she ha I
accumulated in England, by domestic service
and a legacy by a deceased mistress, about £l3O,
which she brought to New York in English gold
Here she exchanged it for Amerce° gold s with
an English family removing to Australia. Some
silver plate, also bequeathed her, she brought to
- this city, and sold it to Crittenden for something
over one hundred dollars, which was paid her io
bills. These bills were found on her at the time
of her arrest, and returned to bar after her el
imination. She sod her brother were returning

SUPREME COOELT-7NISI PRIUS —Justice
Thompson has been engaged prerdtog over this
court, now being held to this city, frotn'the
and may be expected to close on Hcoday nett,
the 28th inst. It will be remembered that Hoe
James Thompson end Won. William Strong, the
one of Erie, and the other of Berks county, were
elected in October of this year, baring be, n
nominated on the Demociiitic State ticket as can
didates for the Supreme Bench, to fill the vacan.

Lewis and that of Justice Black, the latter hay.
log been called into President Buchanan's Cabi
net. Justice Strong, greatly admired and trust
ed as a jurist, was sworn in early in December
The active nisi prigs duties were ennui]. d to
Justice Thompson, sworn in at the same time
We speak for the bar of Philadelphia, and cer,
taiuly for those who have bad business b, fore
Justice Thompson, when we sa that he has more
than realised their espectatiuos of his fitness and
impartiality. He belongs to th 9 Gibson school
of jurists, possessing great judicial experience,
learning, and tact, with-flee, hearty P e nns) Ivan la
mangers, and that ease and candor ups the bench,
which, while it recalls the man in privitie liter
never Fe:roils undue familiarity. Justice,
Thompson is yowl% enough to earn and to wear
the mantle of as great a judge even as Gibson.
