Injencw has published the teal iinony entire.
The prisoner Was horn in New England—the
eon of a rwpmtnible New England farmer.—
The principal witnesses against him were
William Hick* and Charles Croft. Hip broth
er, Harry White, was also u|«»n the stand
ILcks says, White told him that u largo earn
of nxmrv find been offered (f lie would destroy
Hie To 'usury, because certain nersons had
overdrawn upon government to n large n
innimt, and by burning the Treasury these
claims against them would all he destroyed.—
White aaid that ho would undertake it. Wit
ness) had several conversations with Wiiite af
terwards upon the same subject, late in the fall
of ISM. White said hu would go to Wash
ington and take a house, and pass for a gen
tleman ; no suspicions would he entertained,
tor there were often gentlemen in Washington
who went to pass some lime there, and no
questions were asked he (White) intended to
send oil furniture by water, ho himself would
go by land. All tins was said in New York.
While went on to Washington, and did pass
off for a gentleman, though ho had just escap
ed from the State prison. Alter the burning of
the Treasury Department, and upon Ins re
turn to New York in February. Ins wife cmne
to witness’s house in New York; she said
they were) 'si from Washington: this was in
the spring of 1H33. On the 7ih or Hi li of the
same month, Richard 1,. While himself arriv
ed from Washington, and talked with witness
aliaui the burning of the Treasury; he said
ho had succeeded in destroying the Treasu
ry, ami had cleared enough to pay Ins ex
(smses.
Croft testified that he had heard Richard 1..
Wiiite tell Ins brother not to tell him (Croft)
that Isb (Richard While) had set the Treasu
ry oo fire. I licks also testified flint he had
gathered from general conversation, that the
bmhlitig was entered hy means ol false keys,
and that the desk* had been opened to pul (ire
into them. White had told witness I lint he
niidcpsiond chemestry enough to place a fire
which slion d burn when he pleased; he fold
witness, si-o. that he knew a man who would
commit murder for him for 15 dollars. Tins |
man While said he could command. He (old
witness that he had been introduced to a great
many gentlemen and members at Washing
ton, who were very friendly, and that, the day
before he 1 'ft, he hud seen General Jackson.
He said In; had not ipii’e accomplished Ins;
•object, and hail only been paid in proportion,
dint he hud made enough to pay all his ex
penses.
Aziriuli Pis!: testified that when in New
York in the spring of 1832, While had some
keys in his hand, and and it was “ (hem which
jliiii'' the business at Washington'” Mr. Kel
ly, the Deputy Marshall of Ohio, testified that
receiving, in Cleveland, Ohm, information
from Hicks and ('roll, that White was the
man who burnt the Treasury, he wrote on to
Washington when Hicks was sent for. <lo
iugihnre hinisi If, be was ihen sent with Hicks,
to New York, to arrest White. Mr. llluim/'
High Cm ■stable of Philadelphia went wfilh I
him to While’s Hoarding House, “Blmioy
walked on before witness, and going in a hur
ry passed by the house; witness came up and
went into it. Witness met While, but did
not know' It was him; he, however,addressed
turn as if he knew him, and said, “ (food mor
ning Mr. While;” and naked him if he would
take a walk with him, ns he had a line for him.
Prisoner said to witness ho had the advantage
•of him; upon which witness asked him if ho
had not known him ul Washington Cily! Pris
•oner asked witness's name, hut he did not give
at. They started fromihe house together, and
ns soon as IPaney came op witness laid his
hand upon While's shoulder, ami said he was
liis prisoner.m the name of the United Stales.
Prisoner asked " What furl” Witness ask
ed linn if he did not know, Upon which
While said he could prove that ho was twelve
miles from Washington the night the Troa
«nry was burnt. No one hail told prisoner
any thing about the Treasury, or that that wal
the subject of his arrest.”
In the progress of llio testimony it was
proved that Hicks and (.'mil were worthless
■characters, Hicks having been convicted for
(forgeries and counterleitings, and Croft Imv
ling been concerned with counterfeiters.—
Pisk's evidence was also rendered somewhat
Mr. Hays, of New York, in answer toques*
tions hy Mr. Brent, stated that llio prisoner,
While, was living in New York without con-
Malwem or disguise; ho was travelling open
ly about I lie country, and, on one occasion,
travel ed with him in the steamboat to Elizi
helh Point, m New Jersey, from New York ;
and asked linn if it was true that he hud any
warrant against him, saying he was ready to
surrender himself it required.
In eross-bxammuliim it appeared that the
prieoner, While, had sometimes acted in the
capacity of “pigeon" tor old Hays; which
signifies that ho gave information to the pnh
-1 c Concerning ms associates. Witness could
not (iiiy if tins was the cause of any prejudice
ngaihi-t linn. It was necessary sometimes to
employ ‘•pigeons;” particular business re
iptiretl particular persons. Witness remem
bered searching the house in Conrlland street,
whore White boarded; his mother in law
kept the house ; hu searched it for counterfeit
money, and to arrest the Drews, great coun
terfeiters.
Testimony of Harry White.
On the appearance of this witness at the
stand, Mrs. White, the prisoner’s wife, was so
much affected as to taint away, and was car
ried net of Court. It was understood that
there had been some cxpectai on llral Hurry
While would have become United Stales evi
dence, and his appearance at the witness-box
was viewed by Mrs. While in that light,
which naturally produced her agitation. It
happened, however, that the witness hud been
called hy Mr. Brent for the defence; hut
White’s evidence did not amount to much.
Tiie council for the prisoner here made a
law point, that throe years had now elapsed
siuue the commission of the offence charged
jp the indictment, and the time of limitation
hy the act of Congress is two years, therefore,
the prisoner cannot be now tried for tins of
4'epce. Hy the proviso of tins statute, the
prisoner could make no claim to its benefit if
he jiad been,during the two years, a fugitive
(rom justice. ’ 1
Mr Key, sen. argued that the prisoner was '
•clearly a tugeve from justice, seeking to a.
ahnd delect ion, when he departed from Wash*
•mg''on on the IS Ourday evening of the burning
,ot the Treasury, and that this act of flight
.brought him under the proviso of the statute; !,
therefore being, by tint sudden departure, a
fuguice, lie could not claim the benefit of the
statute of limitation.
The Court having given its opinion, the
case stood so that the prisoner, by the ingen
uity, ul Ins counsel, gamed the good chances
ot escape: Ist. Tbs common chance, that .
(.he evidence on the trmj may not be strong
■enough to convict him. 2d. Should the evi
dence hu strong enough lo convict him, yet he
must be convicted under the statute ot limita
tion, if it be proved that he was not a fugitive
from justice when he showed himself openly (
id Washington. 3d. If both the above chan- •
ce« should fail, then, if there is no direct evi- (
dence that he was actually present, aiding and ,
abetting at the fire, he is then to he acquitted, (
temg only an accessary after the fact. (

_ { Moore —Tins is tlie title ofa novel just tssn
,, led from the press, which seems designed lose

stimulate the prevailing excitement on the
1 subject of slavely. It is written with unusal
{ vigor and power of style, and exhibits in Hie
'] most striking point of view the evils and abn
. sos of domestic servitude. We know not
. who is its author. The style is plain nervous
and sincere. The descriptions of scenery are
. lively and accurate. The bonk itself is one
which cannot fad to create an unsual sensa-
I ! tion. It is an abolition pamphlet in the guise
. [ of a stirring and interesting work of fiction, —
I Some of its details are of a character too
revolting to be made public. The book
appears anonymously. Were it not for a
few passages, winch we could hardly attribute
to a female pen, we might (upposo itllie pro
duction of a lady, most favorably known as a
novelist, and distinguished for her zealousex

pears lo be the work of a man—and a man of
singular strength of power and mind.—We
cannot 100 much deprecate the publication of
, such works. We are aware of no purpose
which they can answer ; save that of sustain
ing and Impelling n dangerous excitement.

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.
Loss OF TUB SHIP MeXIEO, FROM LIVF.U
--HO Lives said to up. Lost.
We stop llio press to announce that the
) barque Mexico, from Liverpool Cor this port, 1
! wli eh has linen below since Sunday, went 1
ashore on Hempstead bar on Tuesday. ■
The wreckmaster has arrived from the ,
vessel—and we learn that but eight persons
had reached the shore when he departed. ,
i The remainder over ONE HUNDRED in 1
number ho thinks inns', have perished. i
It is said she had no pilot on board—and ,
that she has had a signal of distress Hying ,
for several days.
The survivors are so severely injured by
the frost as to ho unable to give any mlelligi- 1
hie account ol the disaster. i
P. S. Wo find, on examination of our ma- j
fine list of yesterday, that llio Mexico had
100 passengers -so that the loss of life must 1
he even more severe than that mentioned in 1
Hip former paragraph. *

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK, AND LOSSH
OF LIVES. i
Again have wc to record the loss of a vos- t
scion Long Island, within sight of Sandy
Honk—and it is said lost ONE HUNDRED
AND EIGHT PERSONS, out of one Inin- J
dred ami sixteen, which composed the pas- 11
Ri'iigers and crow. The wreck-master has C
come up from llio wreck, and slates that the
barque Mexico, 70 day* from Liverpool, for
this port, went ashore on Hempstead Bar, one
quarter of a mile from the shore, on Tuesday 1
morning, and only eight persons had landed "
when he left. a
We have since hoard, hut sincerely hope ;
it is not true, that ihc only persons saved
were the cap.ain, one male, 3 seamen, and 3
passengers. The others, it is said, perished 1
with cold. 1
1 This vessel was off the Hook on Sunday, i

INDIAN HOSTILITIES.
Again the hostile Creeks have broke loose 1
and committed depredations and murders.— 1
The plantation of Dr. Battle on Cowaga creek k
vvus besieged by a party of Indians five or r
mure in number, who fired upon and killed q
one white man and two negro men at the same .
lime burning the dwelling and out houses on
the premises of Dr. B. But five Indians
were seen on the occasion, but there was a
reason to believe that a much greater number 0
were concealed in llio swamp. If. is not
known wlietherihesolndaiis were ofilinae who
h>ill remained in Alabama waiting to he cmi
grated or whether they were stragglers re- , -
turning from Florida. The question pro h
venls itself, why nro these Indians permitted i
to remain iii the nation? Government has un
dertaken lo remove I hem, and why nro they
still here? Are there not funds to pay the ex
pensesof emigration? Fifty millions in the
Treasury, and yel about four thousand Indians
remaining in Alabama? Amongst them Iromo
to (iOO warriors—The troops have all been
removed, but one little company left at fort
Mitchell, a force entirely inadequate to the
defence of the country! This subject should he
looked into, and these wanderers emigrated
with all possible despatch.
BY LAST NIGHT’S WESTERN MAH-
The Maysvillo (Ky.) Monitor of the 29th
December has the following paragraph:
Hrportnl Steamboat Hiiaiter, —It was re
ported here last week by boat* from above, that
die entire cabin of the Steamboat Mariner, on
her way up, was blown olfdoring a gale that pre
vailed on Monday or Tuesday night and that
twenty or thirty passengers had been aroused
from their quiet slumbers to find their death pil
lows beneath the ruthless wave. 'Phe appear
ance n few days after this report of large pieces
of a wreck floating down with the ice was calcu
lated to confirm the most melancholy intelligence.
The Frederick Examiner of yesterday has the
following paragraph. The Cincinnati papers of
Friday last make no mention of Santa Anna s ar
rival at that point:
“Santa -Inna it coming.'' —The Western
waybill of yesterday says that Santa Anna will
arrive in this city hy the Western stngu to-day.
TliCjlower House of the Kentucky Legisla
ture has passed resolutions instructing the Sena
tors mid requesting the Rcprcsentavives of that
Slate in Congres to vote for the recognition of the
independence of Texas. They hove not been
acted on in the Senate.
[FROM OUR CORRKSI’ON DENT]
WASHINGTON CITY,?
Jan. 4th 1630. >
The great subject of debate in the Senate for
the last few days, has been the BUI reported by
the Judiciary Committee, providing fur the ad
mission of Michigan into the Union. It was ta
ken up for consideration on Monday, although
Mr. Calhoun and osmo others wished to have it
put off for a few days. The principal obj ections
arc made to the preamble, vvh ich refers to the
Convention of December, which assented to the
fundamental condition prescribed by Congress, as
a body uulliori/.cd lo speak for the people ot Mich
igan. Mr. Calhoun aud Mr. Morris made argu
ments against tho principles of the preamble,
which were perfectly on nsworable. The for
mer demonstrated that llio last oelf-conilituteil
Assembly, had no right whatever, to speak for
the State or tho people of Michigan ; and that
unless Ilia Senate was prepared to admit that this
informal meeting, this Caucus could supersede j
the law and the Constitution—could act in the
name of tho Peupli— could undo what hud been
regularly done by the former authorized aud lime
Convention, then the principles of the preamble
lunist bo rejected as repugnant to the Constitu
tion—revolutionary—and dangerous in the ex
treme.
In unmeasured terms tho doctrine advanced liy
Mr. Grundy and other friends of the Bill, that
mere members independent of the forms of tho
Constitution could give authority. They dwelt
on the consequences of this p.iincip|e as exhibited
in Maryland and Pennsylvania, where the Des
tructives claimed that tho people in their primary
assemblies could trample on law and government,
ami oven despoil men of their pioporty, and that
in faef them was no government to secure us a
gainst popular plumizy. Mr. Morris moved to
lake out the preamble, and on this amendment
an animated discussion arose which was contin
ued yesterday,
Mr. Strange, the new Senator from North Car
olina, and Mr. Dana, tho now Senator from Maine
(made speeches of the most ultra-radical stamp.
Little Walker attacked Mr. Calhoun ns usual,
and in return received a severs flagellation for
his pains. Mr. Ewing took the floor yesterday,
and made a most nervous, animated and instruc
tive speech in opposition lo the Preamble. Ho
covered the whole ground, and presented the
vilest of tho opponents of tho measure as distinct
ly and forcibly ns could be done. Mr. Buchanan
followed him, and entered into an elaborate de
fence of Dallas and his doehAs I After him
canto Benton in the same key and applauded tho
Maryland and Pennsylvania Disorganizes to the
skies, Mr. Preston followed the Radical and
Expunging Demagogue, and opposed the pream
ble with his accustomed ability and eloquence.
The question is not yet decided.
The House did not sit on Monday, yesterday
this body was occupied for a considerable time
with a resolution offered by Mr. Garland last week,
calling on the Secretary of tho Treasury for infor
mation relative to the Deposit Banks, and tho a
mcndmenttlierto offered by Mr. Hatlan extending
the inquiry to the agency of Reuben M. Whit
ney. Mr. Peyton wished to amend so as to raise
a select Committee, for tho purpose of gaining
the information desired, instead of making a call
on the Secretary for it. lie supported his propo
sition in a speech of great power and eloquence,
which produced such an impression on the House
that Mr. Garland modified Ills resolution accord
ingly, and it was carried hy an unanimous vote.
Wc have now, then, an opportunity ofknow
ing something of the real relation Whitney sus
tains to the Treasury Department. A Select
Committee has been appointed, whoso duty it
shall bo to investigate the wbolc matter, with
power to send for persons and papers.
Mr. Wise’s resolution inquiring into the
condition of tlie Executive Departments was next
taken up, along with Mr, Pierce’s proposed sub- 1
stitute. Mr. Pickens made a most powerful:
speech, in support of the resolution. In the course
of his remarks he alluded to some statements made
by Mr. Peyton, illustrative of the Prcssdent’sopcu
interference in behalf of his successor. Mr.
Danlap of Tonne isce, who was for some time a
Jo elt niJeil friend of Judge White, but who has
lately exhibited much new horn zeal for Mr. Van
Burou, took it upon him to deny these statements.
This called down upon him a tremendous philip
pic from Peyton, who proved his charges, and
lashed Danlap with great severity as a Sex in
the Camp. Mr. Robertson of Virginia next took
the fioor, and on his motion the House adjourned.
Tho President’s House was not thrown open,
as usual at the opening of the year. In addition
to bis own Indisposition, there was the death of
Mas. Djnklsox, the lady of his late private Se
cretary, of which intelligence was received a few
days ago, that shed a gloom over the White
House. The festivities of the season have been
kept up, however, by the official corps, and by va
rious private citizens, with considerable splendour!
There was a fancy ball on Monday night—A
largo party was given last evening, hy General
Mxco.m it,the Commander-in-Chics, and to-xiuut ;
all the world go to Secretary Forsttu’s, —and!

Wbonksday, Jan. 4.
From this day forward wo begin a new year, and
n new era in tho money market, business, exeh ra
ges, an 1 Wall sire. t. Commencing with the great
fire, and the embarrassments in trade, both in this
country and in Europ-, Now York lias passed
through scenes during lira Inst; car beyond a paral
lel in the history of commerce. Within the last few
months failures have taken pitta. 1 ill every imr.r
tnnt point of (he commercial world, hut wo believe
New York lias escaped with fewer limn any of her
sisters or compeers. I uteres; has risen from 7 per
cento year, to 2 ami 3 per cent a month-domestic
exchanges from Ito 6and 7—and jot tho merchants
have weathered the storm.
Yesterday business began in the usual way. Uni
ted Slates, with the dividend ettV-st >od firm at 116
—the other lancy stocks wore rather looking up—
though not much—they aro perfectly firm til nil
events. Vet money continued scarce, and readily
fetched 210 21 per cent. This high rate w ill con
tinue until the spring business sets in very decided
ly, and bring us along the merchants from the south
and west, with the r spare cash in their pockets.
The high rale of the domestic exchange is yet
very oppressive to the merchants. It is singular too
i that the eleven deposit banks of this city, with the
Phenix and Manhultenat their head, and the Union
at their tail, hove caused and imposed these high
rales upon the country. These banks, according
lo the statement we published on Monday, have
been trailing on a deposit of ten millions —a sum of
money coming entirely out of the pockets ol tho
merchants in the shape of duties. For their indus
try and punctuality in filling the government hank
coffers, these recipients of the public funds, very
kindly increase the domestic exchanges on the south
and south west from Ito 6 per cent. The govern
ment state-bank system is radically wrong. The
very hanks that ought to furnish an exchange cur
rency at low rates, raise it beyond till former prece
dent. In these eleven banks are all alike. The
phenix Bonk is not more to blame than the others.
We have received news lour days later from En
gland. Tho rata of interest is now fixed by the
Bank of England nt 5 per cent—but wo learn by
i private advices, that what wo call street loans are as
I high as 111, 13, and 15 percent. There is not any
! increase el tho panic or commercial difficulty since
I our last accounts, but the very effort made by the
press in London to smooth over affairs, indicates the
dcpth’uf the financial disorder. The specie of the
Bunk of England is still in a slate of diminion.
In our own country, the pressure is spreading and
widening its effects, probably botattso it is pelting
more moderate in its lone here. We have letters
from• Cleveland, Ohio, to the 23d nit. slating that
short loans on good paper were worth 5 percent a
month, and money scarcely tube had. In New Or
leans, Mobile, and thereabouts, the difficulties are
wearing themselves into an easier channel.
