to agrcee upon a verdict, and were discharged a tew minutes (
before midnijh: on Saturday nigh:. It is understood there

Let There be Light '?The Sun is highly rejoiced liifn
the spirit of invesugtttton is abroad in the iar.d. and that the
pipe-laying. Custom House frauds, &c. are to be thoroughly
overhauled. We share that joy. Du: whiie the Sun says
this, it is guilty of yoss tV.isifieation of the testimony elicited
in the case of Glentworth to alii the cau-o of Loco-r'oc<>:sm.
We have published tiie testimony in this case as given, withj
out a word of commentary or gloss. The Sun. on the eon
trarv, commenced with a gross party commentary. in the j
j -hape of a summary of Mr. Whiting's opening speech, in
\ which ihr most flagrant charges are made against the Whigs
I generally. But ia the process of the trial. Mi. Whiting be
Came co::vince<l that no imputation or suspicion of conspiring
' to introduce illegal voter- rested on Messr-. Bowen. Blatcfc
j ford. Grinnell, Draper aac Wetmorc, and he frankly, honor
. abiy acquitted them, ihe charge appeared in glowing colors I
! in tho Sun: the exculpation was eilh?r suppressed or so mil
I tilated a- to answer the same purpose. Then all the evidence 1
on the part of the defence is either suppressecialtogcihcr ? ?:
?o mangled, distorted and slurred as utterly to destroy ef?
fect; For instance, Mr. Robert C. Wetraore's straight-for?
ward and thorough testimony, blowing up the whole Staven
sOti-Gleatwi>rt!i story, is ti.u.- shamefully -lt:rred ia the Sun :
? Mr. James W. Smith, associated with Mr. Graham for
tiie defence of Glextw orth, briefly opened the case for the de
fencc,^md then called to the stand
'? Robert C. Wetmorc. who. however, stoutly denied that
he ever knew anything whatever ot his own knowledge of the
transaction under investigation."
1- n?: this beautiful neutrality a:-.J impartial reporting T
Again; the Sun report makes Mr. Whiting in regard
to Mr. Grinnell aud the famous letter from this city to
j Glentworth:
? The witness has said that be knew notiiing of hi- own
; knowledge, of Glentworth's having been in Philadelphia: 1
\ offer this to show that Mr. Grinnell is mistaken ; that he di l
! know of Mr. Glentworth being there; and that he nnd the
' other sent him money for the purpose of bringing illegal
\ voter* here, and that they requested him to desist from fur
; thcr proceedings."
! Now that this is grossly perverted and falsified is evident
, from moat notorious fact-. The letter in question .imply in.
\ formed Glentworth that a rumor had reached this city that
! he ((.J.) was hiring persons to come on here and vote, which
was a proceeding utterly condemned by the writers in !>? half
of the Whigs of this city, and they directed him. if he had
really engaged in any such enterprise as -aas ehanred, to
abandon i: forthwith, aad his expenses already incurred
; would bo paid. This was the substance of the letter written
j by Mr. Drapet and approved by Messrs. Blatchfora and
j <?rinne!!. Su far as it lias any bearing on the case iu hand,
I it shews distinctly the reverse of what Mr Whiting i- basely
j represented i:i the Sun as wishing to prove by it. But why
! multiply instances ' We luve published the testimony twice
j as fully as the Sun has. aud our readers wiio see that paper
i must know mat its report a laborious ti-stio of misrepre?
sentation, intended to inculpate those whom this trial has
j freed from suspicion.
The Sun expresses its anxiety to have all investigations .T"
! on. so that the facts niny I?; spread before the People.

Alabama.?The vote for Members of Congress, so far as
we have heard, is very light, as compared with the vote f.,r
President last fall. The Whig candidates are considcrablv
ahead in this end of the State, but will, of course, be over

Thus far, the proportion is about the same as last fall.

Burning of the National Theatre.?In our hst we men?
tioned an attempt, fortunately foiled, to set this splendid^edi?
fice on tire Eridav evening. On Saturday morning a renew?
ed attempt was raore successful. At a quarter before 7 the
alarm wa.- given, and a: 9 nought bur the wall? remained.?
The rite probably originated in the paint toom, when' a large
quantity of combustible matter was placed, and sa rapid wa?
it- progress that before the alarm was fairly given, the flame
were bur-ting from the roof. A portion of the west wall sixin
fei. upon the roof of the adjoining house owned by one Mrs.
Brown, and occupied by her as a brothel. One of the wretch?
ed inmates, who had once left her room but returned for her
clothes, ? as buried by the ctushing mas, and instantly burned
to a cinder."~ Her scorched and blackened body was soon
taken out and buried on SatarJay at t!t ? Methodist Church in
Sullivan street. Thus was her career of pollution and infamy
brought to a sud I-n and most horrible end.
The French Church, the fine buildings adjoining in Frank?
lin street. :h- Dute'd Reformed Church; a school room, and
the African Church, wer- all more or less injured. Great
prai-e is due to the firemen for their vigorous efforts in ar?
resting: the progress of the flames; The !os> of individual*
i connected with the Theatre was about $15.000. The build?
ing was insured for about $1.1,000. Mrs. Brown'- loss was
j about $5,008.
IU~ When Martin Van Buren ^ j- appointed Secretary
of Stale, he swept out the old Clerks in short order. Among
j iliem ??s Wit.mam Si.asje. now Member of Congress from
Vermont. Van Buren'snote informed Mr. S. thai 'he rc
i grctred to state that the rule he (V. B.) had prescribed to
himself required Mr. Sladc's removal. Mr. Slade, in turn,
simply asked him whether this notice was intended to inti?
mate anv unfnithftilne-s or misconduct on his (Slade'.-) jitirt.
as the terms employed seemed ambigious. Mr. Van Buren
decline.'to gi\e any estimation! It fa rathor pleasant to
! hear the late Postmaster at Hartford, who was then a Van
Bnren Editor, scolding verv feroc'pnsh because Mr.Granger

We have heard it intimated that our remarks on the
surrender of the Croton Water works into tin* uncontrolled
possession of our minority Common Council bore hard on one
or mr.re of the Water Cbmmissionei -. \\ c certainly intend
? eJ nothing like this. We wage no controversy with indiyid
1 un!., least of all with individual Whigs ; but we say withpro
found conviction and sorrow that whoever counseled or urged
. the giving up of these Work- below Murray Hill into the un
? checked possession of Loco-Focnism has dealt a m .stdeadly
blow at the Whig Party and Cause in tin- City. We nr
' rahrn :;<? man's motives; but we cannot forzet the ' -ipe-Iuv
ing' of last Fall nor the lead contract. of' Bunting & Co.'
In our judgement, this surrender will cost the city $500,000
more and and 1.000 tifvt Full to thv L.ico-F.sco v-.ite of the
City : and at last die work will be far less substantially done
than it would ha\e been by the Water Commissioners. But
it is useless to groun over what ?irrecbvcra"<ry lost. We
??an now only entreat the Whig Members of the Common
Council to be resolute, thorough and vigilant in defending the
public interest ami in defeating the pipe-laying machinations
of the adversary.

Gen. Jackson.?The incident from which the report of
Gen. Jackson's pecuniary failure arose, is thus stated bv a
southern paper. "Mr. Rceside wrote to the General from
Louisville, stating that he was sick and in distress, and re
quested the loan of $100? the 'good old man' replied that
he was not able to send Mr. Reeside the amount in monev,
but tendered him a horse, which he could convert into
money."
Arrival of the Sea Me'-.?Mention was made, some-time
since, of tha seizure, by a British cruixer, of the *hip S<-a
M- ?w, owned at Salem. Mass. The Salem Register savs
that she arrived at that port on Tuesday the loth. She
was seized at Aaibri/, on the SW const of Africa, by H B.
M. brig Persian, all her crew taken out. und ordered to Sier?
ra Leone, in charge of a British lieutenant and prize. On
her arrival then-. Capt. Briant was kept a prisoner on board,
ami all his papers were likewise taken possession of.
I be Court of Commissioners, established for the pur
pose of trying vessels enesrned in the slave trad", finding
that there was no cau.-e for suspicion, refused to have anv
thinit to do with the Sea Mewj and she w as taken thence to
St. Helena, where -he was given up to Capt. Briant.
The detention of the Sea Mew wa- about ] ni-nths. Dur?
ing this period both vessel and cargo w ere most shamefully
n-glected. At St. Helena Capt. Briant w as obliged to ship
a new crew to prosecute his voyage.
LA suitable representation of the Tigris case has bgin laid
before the Government, and as so... as the proper papers can
be prepared the case of the Sea Mew will be represented.
Death, of KeokukJ?The Galena (III.) Gazette, of the 1 Ith
says that this Chief of the Sacs and Fox Indians was killed
n-cently by Nashiesknck, Black Hawk's san. The difficulty
originated in a dispute relativ,- to the distribution of the mo?
nies paid the Indians by.the General Government. There has
beenadeadly feud existing in that tribe for some time and a
great jealousy of Keokuk.
