[Correspondence o< the Daily Morning News.]
New York, May 1, 1850.
It appears that seven, if not more, were
killed by the falling of the wall in Wuter-st.,
on Monday, and the inquest St now proceeding.
The accident was caused by gross carelessness
or ignorance, as the wall was reported unsufe,
but no one seemed disposed to order it to be
taken down. The Mayor, Chief Engineer
and some of the Aldermen, it is believed, are
* amenable to censure in this matter? and who
ever, or whatever they may be, I hope the jury
will do t'aeir duly. It is feared that two more
bodies may still be under the ruins, but they
cannot be reached yet. The men injured by
the other accident are all recovering,T under
stand.
Wo are in the midst of May Day movements,
and the streets present a remarkable scene.
Every third person you meet is carrying either
a looking glass, or an usual lamp, or a hall
lamp, or some other little article that wont
stand ^he jolting of the cart. Little boys and
girls take care of the birds end cats, und trans
port them to the new domicil. Such a breuk-
Sing of furniture, such u chipping and tubbing,
such a scrubbing and white-washing, ami such
discomfort as May Day brings to tho Goth
amites, was never seen. Happy are they who
don’t migrate.
I witnessed Fanny Kemble’s new Cnmody,
last night, “The Duke’s Wager,” for which, it
is suiil, ilnss pnid $500. But it is only a trans
lation, after nil, of Dumas’ “Gabriello de
Belle Isle." Tho subject borders so closely on
the indelicate, that, really, my modesty “suffer
ed some,” and what tho ludies thought of it, I
cannot imagine—they looked on, however,
with tho utmost complacency. Tho ‘wager
is made by tho liborline, the Dukede Richelieu,
who bets two other noblemen 500 louls each,
' that ho will dishonor the first woman they
meet, which huppens to be Gabriello, then
under tho protection of tho Marchioness du
I’rie, whose aid tho Duke usks, to enable him
to win the bet. He is to be in tho girl’s cham
ber between the hours of 10 anil 12 o'clock thut
night, and to prove that ho is there, is to throw
a note from the window to tho girl's affianced
husband, who overheard tho bet. You will
perceive by thU, that tho groundwork is some
what dangerous to venture upon; hut it takes
Fanny, who evinces, in all she does, a spirit of
independence, even to riding on horseback in
• pantaloons and Wellingtons. There is one
scene, in which a great deal is left to the imag
ination—the Marchioness loves the Duk
to whom she was betrothed in her childhood,
and looks upon him as her husband. She, to
defeat his designs against Gabrielle, sends her
away, and being herself in the room at tho
time he was to meet Gabrielle, (who, in the
innocence of her heart, hud consented to do so
for tho purpose of hearing the result of his
application to tho Min.ster, in behalf of her
father and mother, prisoners in tho Bastile,)
and { hearing him approach by a secret passage,
blows out the light. Being in the room, the
Duke throws the note from the window, and
then encounters the Marchioness in her attempt
to escape, whom ho mistakes for Gabrielle, and
tho curtain fa'ls. The mistake occasions great
anguish to tho girl and to her lover, but in the
end tho mystery is cleared up. This plot is
, extended through five nets, and a dull, common
* p’aco affuir enough it is. It doesn't draw
cith"r, and that’s bad (or Bass. I ildnk the
result will prove that the $500 were badly in*
■ttj vested.
We are very quiet herp—no excitement—:t
man shot his wife yesterday, from jealousy, and
then shot himself, and he is not expected to
recover; but shooting and stabbing are of too
frequeut occurence here to make any stir.

(For the Daily Morning News.]
The Lawrence Divorce Case.
Mr Editor; You will confer a favor upon
many of your renders by the insertion of the
following just i.isclnsuro of the Lawrence di-
vorhocase. Tho article, we apprehend, needs
no comment—it speaks for itself. “ Facts me
stubborn things.’*
[Front the Boston Dost.]
There has been much said in the newspa
pers, for a few weeks past, respecting the above
uffuir, rind we think that injustice has been done
to M 1 '. Lawrence, both here and in oilier cities.
True, in ull difficulties of u conjugal nature, tile
sympathies of the public are ut first naturally
extended to the wife; but when, on examina
tion, it is proved she is manifestly in the
wrong, these promptings should give placo to
justice and truth.
As fur as we nre informed, Mrs. Lawrence
left her husband about eight months since, un
der the express undi rstunding that she would
return to Boston in a lew weeks. At the time
sho was expected back, Mr. Lawrence receiv
ed u letter informing him that she would not re
turn, and that ho must go to Louisville to reside.
Various reasons, which it is unnecessary to
state, rendered this impossible; and lie accor
dingly requested her rolurn to Boston,inaccord-
unco with tier promise ut parting. By sig
nificant acts, and still moie significant letters,
it soon herame manifest that l Ins was not, mid
never had berm, intended; mil lifter invitations
and rntretuies were neglected and spurned,
Mr. Lawrence had recourse to the oily means
in his power—which wits to announce his wife’s
desertion to the public, nnd thus ud -pt the pre
caution which such a stute of things rendered
necessary.
The vurious tales of jealously nnd difficulties,
which htive appeared in th • papers, are either
strangely misrepresented or wholly fictitious.
If the merits of the case were to be generally
known, it is believed there would bo disclosed
much ii iwarrunted interference on the part of
those whose authority ov-w Mrs I,, terminated
with her marriage. Facts could be stated m.d
letters published which would astonish the pub-
lie, and nt tho same time show with what ob
stacles Mr. Liwrence laid to contend and whai
trials lie was obliged to endure. It could easily
ho shown that Mrs. Lawrence remained in Lou
isville without cause that could justify or oven
xcuse such n procedure. But all this it is not
our purpose ut present to set forth.
From what we already kmlw of this affair,
wo ure persuaded ihnt Mr. Law renee 1ms nct'-d
wisely and ju-tly ; nnd ibis opinion is strength
ened by ihe fact, thut his course meets with
tho warmest approval of those friends to whom
tho circumstances of the case nre familiar.
Should ho ever bo compelled to make a public
vindirali n of his conduct, we nre confident
that the community, one and all, would extend to
him tlmt favor and approbation wl uh ho well
deserves. His motives in this uffuir have been
pure and his course perfectly justifiable; nnd
those who a-cribe tohimoth 'r than honorable
and upright mentions, must speak either from
ignorance or prejudice.
We h ive written the above with tho sole
object of doing justice to a gentleman, whose
co duct has been somewhat blamed, and whog
motive* have been much misrepresented. It
were well if domestic harmony could ever pre
vail in society; hut if disg'ntiniis arise there is
no reason why the truth should not he known,
whoever many ho tho party thereby affected.
Certain it is that if a wife will abandon her
husband, in forgetfulness of her marriage vow]
she must imt murmur if the fact is mudo public;
and animadversions and reproaches come with
ill graf-o from ihoso who have been Heated
with a lenity which their conduct did not mer
it. A. B. C

Land Warrants.—The New York Journal
of Commerce, of Monday, guys :
Land warrnnti are very dull of late. In ad
dition to the uncertainty of title without a good
city endnisomcHt, tho movements of the lai d
reformers have brought these warrants into dis
repute, us maty faney Cniigr< ss wi.l soon give
the same quantity ot land to unv poor man who
will take possession of it. This has led t
their depreciation, until $128 has become th'
outside price. Any movement on tho pmt of
the Government adverse to the plans of the
reformers, would materially increase the price

of Natha i Harris, a young man about 30 years
of age. He was taken sick on Monday after-
moi nt 5 o’clock, while at work and died on

A Turkish. Love Affair.—’the modern laws
of Cos discou .teniince, in a very singular man
ner, cruelty in females towards their admirers.
When Dr. Clark was on that Island, nn in
stance occurred in which a fatal termination of
15 a love affair occasioned u trial, for what tho
Mohammedan lawyers termed homicide by an
intermediate cause. The cause wu* us follows:
A you g man, desperately in love with a girl
of Stanchio, eagerly sought to marry her, but
his proposals were rejected. In consequence
of hi< disappointment, he bought some poison
and destroved himself. The Turkish police
instantly arrested tne father of the young
■woman us the cause, by implication, of the
mitti’s death, under the fifth species of homi
cide ; he became, thorefore, amenable for this
act of suicide. When the cause came before
the magistrate, it was urged literally hv the ac
cusers tlmt if ho (the accused) had nut laid a
daught T, the deceased would not huve fallen
in 1 >ve—consequently he would not have died.
But lit*, the accused, halo daughter and the
deceased bad fallen in love, and had been dis
appointed, and Imd died. Upon ull these oc-
counts, he was called upon to pay the price fcf
the young man’s life, which was fixed at eighty
piasters, and svhich was accordingly exacted.

East Tennessee & Georgia Railroad.—
From a letter from a gentleman in East Ten
nessee to the Railroad Journal, we do- ive some
facts in regard to the present condiiion of this
Road, which may not he uninteresting. It ap
pears that the Company have already upward*
of 81) miles of road graded in a veiy superior
manner, most <if it for u double track, and »
large and excellent bridge across the Hiwa-sie
river, so arranged as to ho used ns a toll bridge
as well ns far the Railroad. The timber for
the superstructure on upwards «»f 20 mil s has
been delivered. Tho total cost ot the road,
thus far, is $630,000.
The completion and equipment of the Rond
to Knoxville, at the Engineer’s estimute, is
$1,150,000. Deducting tiom this sum the
State subscription, State loan and individual
subscriptions, leaves only $656,000 yet to be
subscribed for. Hence the entire cost of the
roiid, 110 mile*, may be stated at $1,780 000,
or about $l(i,000 per mile fora first-class Ruud
with u heavy T rail and lully equipped.
In regard to the contract with Gen. Green,
the writer, after paying a high and merit! d
compliment to the energy ami |Jlblio spit it of

also states that he lias realized a very hand
some profit by the operation, ami that ho “ re
tires from Ilia contract to engage in ether en

Athkneum —This establishment was opened
last night,with the popular drama of DombeySp

Progress of the Age.
We live in an age of progress—in an age of
double pressure. Heretofore the work of im
provement in government, science, nnd the
general affairs of mankind, has been confined to
ilie masculine portion of the human family, and
wo weie indebted to men for whatever advance
ment our race had made in the melioration ol
its condition. But a now era has dawned on
the world, uud henceforth the women nre to
bear an equil share in ihe responsibilities, and
burthens of government. The Amazonian nge i*
at hand, and >ve are shortly to have female war
riors, legislators, und electors, who are to pm-
ticipato with us in all our duties und franchise.
Do not smile, render, for we assure you it is a
fact. The movement is alrea ly on foot., and ii
is impossible to say how soon the great revolu
tion will be consummated. A,ready a conven
tion has been hold at Snlem,Ohio, which wasat-
tended by upwurds of five hundred women,and
at which speeches were made, resoultions pass
ed, and addresses made which threaten the to
tal subversion of the present order of things,
nnd the utter abrogation of the authority of the
masculine sex. This is no witch or ghost storv,
but a solemn fact. From among the twenty-
two resolutions passed on the occasion, we
select the following us indicative of tho spirit
and purpose of the meeting.
7. Resolved, That wo, as human beings, are
entitled to claim and exercise all the rights that
belong by nature to any member of the human
family.
8. Resolved, That ull distinctions between
men and women in regard to social, literary.'
pecuniary, r ligious or political customs uiid
insiiiutions, based on a distinction of sex, are
contrary to the lows of Nature, unjust, and
destructive to ihe policy, elevation, and pro
gress in knowledge nnd goodness of the great
human family, and ought to be at onee and
forayer abolished.
9. Resolved, That tho practice of holding
women amenable to a different standard of
propriety and morality from that to which men
ure held amenable, is unjust and unnatural,
and highly di triim-ntal to domestic and sociul
viriue and -happiness.
1U. Resolved, That so long ns women op
pose the examination of tho position nnd duties
of woman in all the various relations of human
life, they do but enhance and perpetuate their
own degradation, and put tar off the day when
social laws and customs shall recognise them
ns eqimllv entitled with men to n voice in cre
ating and administering the governmental and
religious institutions under which they live.
The proceedings of the meeting nro said to
have been conducted after the musculine fasli-
Tlie Newark Spirits.
Wo alluded in our paper of yesterdny to the
fact that Newnrk, N. J., had recently been vis
ited by tho Spiritual Knockers, whose mysteri
ous pranks have, for some months past, at
tracted so much attention nnd given rise to
so much speculation in the Northern and East
ern States. The last Newark Advertiser has
the following on tho subject:
In tho course of some careful inquires, we
have become acquainted with most of the in
dividual* connecter with the affair; hut have
net been aide to detect tho slightest manifesta
tion ol art or deception. The person who ha*
occupied the house for the |mst two years sus
tains un excellent character, being a consistent
professing Christian. It is only fair to add,
thut no anxiety to “appear in print,” nr to give
undue publicity, ha* been shown by any of the
person* connected with the affuir. But let u*
recur‘to the history of the ease-—obtained from
persons huving good repute for soberness arid
veracity.
The family referred to have been subjected
nt intervals to unusual mid unuccoutilnU ■ distur
bances during the past two yours, and the head of
it, believing i hem to he produced by some nil- ... , - ,, , nn r .
lural means has time alter time used his utmost ’ K 1 ~ ,H 1 111 size,
i fforts to discover the source or agency. There
have been knocks at his chumbei doors when
his whole family were together in one room,
ami thou ah lie tins ins uotly opened the doors
thus assailed, never lound tiny thiigto oecoimt
for tile si range noises. He has heard in an ad
joining room sounds ns of heavy weignis lulling
upon the floor, without slightest indications in
the cause. There was, in fact, no room in the
hou-e that wnS free from these disturbances
though they were more frequent in some than
in others. He has heard noises as if u ..envy
chain were suddenly thrown to the floor: then
again sounds resembling the snapping of a
whip, when tie was ccrluin that nothing of the
kind was in the vicinity. He tins heard shuf
fling, as of half u dozen persons miming over
the floors, when the whole family were fast
locked in sleep, nnd he has seen Ids rocking-
chair, apparently of it* nw i motion, move hack
mid forth. He has listened to what seemed
to he the low whisper* ol many poisons engag
ed in conversation. Hi* wife nnd himself have
waked in the night and felt as if something
came upon the bed—and they have been arous
ed and heard what seemed like the dropping*
of water into a Inisin of liquid by their bedside.
And thus we might go on—for there have
hi en noises of infinite variety. And the per
ceptions of those noises hove nut been confin
ed to himself and wife. Hi* children,from whom
they concealed their thoughts a* to the cause of
these commotions, have been terrified by them.
Strangers have come into the house, and th mgli
the su> ject had never been alluded to until ex-
plu niinn was culled fur, no one hus ever been
able to solve tho mvstfery. One person who
hoarded in the family—a brave man,who, in the
language of an inf irmant, “feared neither God
nor man,”—utterly rejected the idea of spirit
ual agency, und vowed that he would detect
and reveal the secret. Bui, though a man of
keen perception, lie never succeeded in tiis at
tempts ;—and wus especially annoyed a d om-
burrussed by strange and terrifying exhibitions
of the presence of something that eluded his
grasp.
