Momday, March 4 ? Krrmer it Ryan, for Crim. Con.?
The jury returned a smiled verdict in tin* cate at ihe opening
ol the Court, and rendered un award of $ot>0 damages
to the plaintitr
The jurors summoned for the next case, were then called,
anil nine of the pannel not answering to their namea,
they were severally fined $15 for nun attendance.
The case of fan Colt vs. Shatp being the next in order
on the calendar, it was called on by Judge Kent, and alter
the jury were empanelled, a young gentleman in a frock
coat, with black hair of a most intense gloss, and a very
decided curl, rose and opened the case in a speech, which
he read in a low under tone from a tolerably volumnlous
manuscript which he held in his hand. Krum this, those
who pa,d a most desperate atteution were enabled to glean
the facts, that it was un action for criminal conversation
with the plaintiff's wile, brought by Albeit B. Van Cott
against William H. Sharp, and that the damages lor this
nuirum trespass wm taut at ??IO,0?H>.
As this case lias been tried once before, (revived now iu
consequence of l!iu disagreement of the former jury,) nnd
ai all the circumstance* connected with it. unwell as
every particle of t??titnony the cine is capable of, hasalrcady
but n 1 'tit 1 (nil > icporicd in the colnmini of this paper,
weiftieed not recapitulate all the n.inutia again.
After the conclusion of the opening, .Mr. De Witt, for
the plaintiff, called to the stand
Jacob Petit?This witness stated that he knew Van
Cott and nis tvife: but upon being asked if he were present
nt the time of their inurriage, suddenly sunk his head
and made no answer. I'non the qnertion being repented
he replied that lie was ill, and upon being inquired of, if
that was the reaaon of hia not answering the question, replied
in the negative, stating that he reluaed to answer it.
The question was then put again. This time the witness
answered reaJily that he had been present at the time of
the marriage, and that the ceremony took place in 1832 in
Mnngin street.
Doctor Moktoosiekt J. Baieey was next called. The
Doctor testified that he lias known the plaintiff lor a number
of years?the former as much as 14 or lu, and the latter
lOor 14. NThey resided, formerly, iu Division street in
this city, after which they removed to Williamsburgh in
1830, when the alledged criminal conversation, for which
this action is brought, was committed Van Cott, who is
a jeweller, is the cousin of his wife, and s great degree of
intimacy up to a period previous to the last two years, had
existed between them. Van Cott kept boarders iu Williamsburgh,
and among tliem in 1841, was a young man
nnmed William H. Sharp. This gentleman, tbe Doctor
testifies to having first seen, in his frequent visiting* to the
house, in 1841, ami also to having seen him in must of his
subsequent visitings to the same place. In Ine middle of
a day in the month of August, 1841, the Doctor entertd
the back basement of tbe house, and passing a
colored female servant whom he met nt the door,
went to the front basement room, where the family
usually lived and took their meals: the door was
partly iijar, and on looking in the perceived that the room
was somewhat darkened by the drawing to of the shut
tors; he went in, and as he did so, Mrs Van Cott stepped
from the sofa on which Sharp lay reclining at length, and
alter opening the shutter, turned to a dressing glass in
another corner of the room to arrange her hair, which
bung down her back, and regulate her dress, which was
open at the neck and slipping off her shoulders. Sharp
started up at first, with some degree of astonishment, nut
upon ascertaining the characterof the visiter, sunk buck
again with the remark of "oh, ^thought it was VanF ?
It was Van Cott'* custom to make a journey to the south
every winter on business, and this season he went away
some time in October or November, to return in the following
spring. During his absence the Doctor saw Sharp
there several times. On the 1st January, 1841, the Doctor
and his wife visited Van Cott's house. Hharp, who
had been out all the evening, returned at II o'clock?
shortly after which, or at twelve o'clock, the Doctor ami
his wife went to bed, leaving a Mr. BellJ Mrs. Van Cott,
and the alleged seducer down stairs in the basement. The
former followed immediately cftet wards, and went up to
his room ; but Sharp was not henrd to ccme up stairs
thaughthe doctor lay awake a long time, and thinks he
mutt have heard him if he did so. Oil the lollowitig morning
on going down in the basement, lie found Mr. Ueil.
Sharp and Mr*. Van Cott there. Sharp wu* sitting near
the fire, nnd remarked " that he felt like the
devil, as he had not gone to bed till near 4 ?"block in the
morning " The doctor further testified to having seen
shv n hug nnd kiss Mrs . Van Co'.t once or twice, and;
'hat tie had teen him otherwise rude and viirward, iiiul <
?t?u, nidi v an vun * iremmeni 01 MR will Wdl Kllia Hint
affectionate lnroishitig her with teacher* m muiic, dancing,
language*, Sic
Thi* ended the direct testimony of the w itness, and the
counai'l torthe defendant entered into a rigid cross-exami
nation, in thecour*e of which a xtrong and persevering
effort wax made to ?h?w the intimate connexion* oi interest
between the witness and the plaintiff for the putpoteof
caxtingdiacredit upon his testimony. The Doctor
further stated that lie did not inform Van (.'ott before lie
(Van Cott) went South, of the scene in the basement, bur
intimated to him the propriety of taking his wile with
him ; but when Van f'ott returned, sometime in the
monrh of May, he told him all about it. This information
the witness testified to having given to Van Cott pre
vious to the writing of a letter to Sharp (in answer to
one which Sharp wrote him on hearing the nature of the
doctor'sdisclosures to the husband) which denied having
said an) thing to implicate his (Sharp's) honor with Van
< 'ott, or the character of the intimacy between him and
the wile. In the interview with Van Cott. the doctor
testiiied that wlien cautioning him against Sharp, he had
said that he wished to be distinctly understood that he
made no direct assertion against the honor of either party,
and that he did not believe that anything wrong had
taken place. This led to an interview between the
whole three, Van Colt, the Doctor and the defendant.
in which the same, language wax repeated b>
'lie Doctor. This was sometime in the month of May.
Sharp denied that he sat up with Mrs, Van (lott on the
New Year's evening, and also denied every tiling else cal
culated to implicate him. Th? Doctor further testified
that at the time of the basement scene, a Miss Waldron
and a Miss Ityder resided at Van Cott's, und that Van i ott
and he had h falling out in conse<|uenre ol his wounding
Van Cotl'a faith by making these disclosure* in regard to
liia wife. The Doctor further testified that Miss Waldron
wrote him a letter, informing lum that Sharp bad taken
improper liberties with his w ife?that he called on Sharp
lhout it, who denied the charge in toto, and declared that
he would see Mist Waldron and have the matter explained,
and that afler this Sharp wrote him a letter, telling
liirn that Miss Waldron would soon w rite herself ami ex.
plain all. I'pon the top of all this, Van Cott writes a let
'or to Sharp, blowing every body to the devil who should
lare to impugn the honor of his wife, and him, his friend
Mrs. Bails called.?This witness was the wife of the
last witness, and testified to the New Vear'? night scent,
ind also to having seen Sharp ki?? Mrs V ant'ott, take
lier in his lap,and te.d her limbs at divers time* Slio moreiver
testified ar. to hi* having hiui the audacity to make an
imorou* dcmrr.itration 01 her, in the way of a kisr,
'hough on thi* oecusion there were other females by, all
if whom shared the same fate from the adventurous gallant.
A* to the New Year's night bttsines*, the
lady testified to having laid awake till three o'clock in the
morning, for the express purpose of listening to hear
whether Sharp came to lied or no; but that she was cerain
that up to that hour he did not mount the xtairn; that
the went down in the basement in the morning, and there
found Sharp in his pantaloons, alone, in rcmpanv with
Mrs. Van Catt, Mr. Bell, Mis* Waldron, and Mi*s ftyder
Mr. Shnrp made no answer to her husband's (Dr. Bniley's)
pieation, afterwards, ?s to what had kept him up so late;
lut Mr*. Van (-'ott remarked that "she had also staid up
ill three o'clock, to wash tip tho dishes" from Hie table
in which they had had a late supper the night belore. It
va* before New Year's, when slic raw Sharp kiss Mrs
/an (-'ott and feel her limbs, and Mrs. Van (lott on all of
liese occasions repulsed him. When Sharp kissed Mrs.
/an (lott, Miss Waldron was also present. Tins, witli the
xception of the averrment of the kind treatment of Mrs.
/an Cott by her husband, was all the testimony of this
vitnexx?when the Court adjourned iuntil the billow ing
lay at 10 o'clock.

The 22J has come ami gone, and I am happy to 1
add that the day was duly honored as the anniversary
of one that gave birth to the father of a country.
The shunt light was a splendid affair?the
whole population turned out to witness the same.
Every thing went off with flat. Not eo with the
whig procession, which to suy the least, was a poor
affair, after all the heralding of what was to be
done on the occasion by the leaders of the party.
The fact is both parties are used up, the people are
sick and tired ot the political hacks now offered in
the market; they need some holiest man to lead
them. Hut to the procession?at llo'clock the same
proceeded through some of the principal streets till
they arrived at tne Place d'Arms, where u staging

happen. "Coming events cast their shadows hefore."
There was not to exceed five hundred, all
told, lookers on, <tee < If the procession, two hundred
and sixty, counted So you may |udge something
of the state of the public pulse here. "Harry
of the West" is here i-pending the winter. This
was rather cool lor him.
On Monday an election for a Senator takes place,
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death oi
Judge Howe. The whins have nominated llocelieus.
The democrats have made their nomination,
Thomas, Slidell, brother to John Slidell and I
Alexander Slidell McKenzie, of some notoriety, I
believe. Set it down that he is ejected if nomina
led. We are looking forward with some anxiety
to the proposed fill of July Calhoun Conveniiou.
The fact is, either Tylei or Calhoun would suit the
people belter tliuti Clay or Van Btiren. They are
sick, perfectly sick anu tired of such knaves. But
away wiih politics.
I see that you New Yorkers are boasting greatly
at the amount of your importations. Wc can also
boast, if not of our importations, we can of our
exports, which, for the month of January last, exceeded
that of the corresponding month of 184U,
by $2,800,000?and this coastwise. I will endeavor,
if possible, to procure (he whole amount of

of vessels from foreign ports and otherwise have arrived
since the 1st December last, than at a like
period before. New Orleans, in spite of yellow
fever and all humbugs, is destined to be a great
place.
We received intelligence by mail yesterday,
(through an extra Herald) of a rise of ] in the cotton
market. It has had its influence, as you will
perceive by the table below. In connection with
the cotton market, allow me to assure you that
those engaged in the speculations here are but
"men of straw." The old stagers know a thing or
two. No one of capital invests. They are looking
out for Hiualls that will surely come. I give yon
the classification here, including also Texas:?

It has been clearly and satisfactorily ascertained
thai there were burnt 7,715 hales. The greater part
if not the whole were insured. The company intend
rebuilding as soon us possible.
There is little of importance going on in the way
of local news other than what I have mentioned: the
Legislature are yet in session, and have done
nothing: better for the interests of the State and nil
concerned thai they udjourn and go home. Louisiana,
like many other States, is legislated to d? nth.

Mart Financiering?Proof* of the Equality oj
Black and White Men?Fun among the Brokert?
Capital Punishment?Murder*, and to on.
I have waited to see if your tegular correspondent
took notice of certain movements that are exciting
much attention in the polite circles in the
Quaker city. As he has not, I will supply his lack
of service. The cuteness of Philadelphia lawyers
and the peculiar ability of her financiers, is too well
known to the universe Ht large, and through our
solar system in particular, to need any extended illustration.
Particular facts, therefore, should he
related only to keep up the reputation of our city.
For a genteel seduction, a thrilling murder, n demonstration
of the insanity of all rogues, and ours
in particular ; a refined suicide, for which the most
elaborate preparation is made; a neat bankruptcy,
or a capital forgery, or breach of trust, we defy the
competition of New York, Buffalo, New Orleans,
or ( rand Cairo itself. When to all these attractions
you add the brilliancy of our literature?the
refinement ol general society, and the beauty of
our Quaker girls, you cannot wonder that tieorge
Munday prophecies that the inillentutn is to commence
here, in 1843. But I am wandering from
my objects.
A few days since, the latest case of financiering
came to light. It is the first instance on record of
xtensive forgeries committed by n colored mantor
lie cannot he called a negro. The guilty party
is James Forten, son of tit*' late respected nnd
wealthy sail milker of that name. The father way
universally resitected for his probity and his btiMness
talents, lie left quite a large property to his
children. His two sons continued hisbitsiness, and
with much success; having cleared several thousand
dollars the past year.
A few days ago it was ascertained that some
#15,000 to #120,000 of their paper was in circulation,
bearing the forged endorsement of their brother-inlaw,
who is a colored man of great wealth and
very honorable character. It appears that the oldest
brother committed the forgeries, without any suspicion
on the part of his brother. The money was
not applied to their business at all. Several thousand
dollars have been traced to lottery offices?
those curses to society, and especially to the colored
|>eoplr of our cities?where Forten hail wasted
some S 10,000 within nine months past' Investigation,
however, shown that be is only one party to
these frattda. Two of our leading brokers have
n-rii arresiru nun neiu 10 n.tll, lor pas.-nilg there
notes, knowing tliem to lie forgeries. Against one
|>1" them tli** evidence m said to be ipnte strong. Up
was arrested ut tlip suit of oiip of our banks, which
ins sutie red to the tune of several thousand*. His
tame in Cumin. I hope he will be able to clear
liniself from so sen oil* a charge. I'orten, it i*
aid, took 'ill the funds o| the firm lie could lay
lands upon, and sailed for Port Jlepublieani, on
he lirsl rumor of lua knavery. Hi* exploits are
tot <|iiitr e(|ii!il to those of Kaihhun, hut you will
igree. with the tariff men, that "wool'sri/. and
i/.in." What may we not hope from the progress
if education in the course of a few years !
The contest between the friends and Ines of
tanging,waxeejwarm in this Stale. Thedchates
>n this topic attract large audiences to the Frankin
Institute, muscam and other places, two or three
mies a week. Those who advocate the abolition
if the death punishment, are evidently gaining
;round At first, few besides the Socialists,flicks
tes, (Quakers, I niversaliatn and I nitariaiis ailvoatcd
it. Now, a large numher of the other sects
ire ranged on the name side, including ninny <d
air worthiest clergymen and most philanthropic
ilizens. I do not lielieve one twentieih pnrt of the
eople go with them; hut they will probably carry
he abolition of the law by activity and zeal, hetire
the rnasH of the friends of capital punishment
i'ake up to know what they are doing. Our ainin|p
friend O'Sulliv.tn's report is the text book on
hat aida of the question The hanging side of the
rgument is dclended with sunt. but tew ol its
dvqcales scetn to have given the subject much atention.
You duly recorded the murder committed in our
uarket a few days since by a mere boy. I could
nit notice how \ery little sensation the murder ex
ited We tak. such things very <pneily 111 our
