Mr.Carter\u2014What are the rules of the establishment with respect to the tables\u2014is money received from those who play ?Mr.Devlin objected to this question, and a long discussion took place as to the information, Mr.Devlin contending that Mr.Carter could not enter into specific facts, as the information was general.The witness, being recalled, said that there were no \u2018written rules, but a certain sum was charged for the use of the tables, thé amount depending on the length of time they weie' used.Witness did not recollect if Mr.Bellémare had been in the hotel on the 25th January.\u2018 There weis^ doubtless, parties playing on the table during the last week of Jahuary.People played except .Off Sundays.Tjyo other yopug men and witness took tbe money from those who played.(Witness here refused to say whether, during the last week of January, he received money from those yhq played, since he rented the tables from Mr.Hogan, and did not W^b to criminate himself.) After some further djs.cussjqn witness continued\u2014The bilijard room was PJ} Çi'aig street, 0e Tested it from Mr.Hogan, but there was no written lease.When the tables arrived in this city witn ss immediately rented them from Mr.Hogan, and set them up in the room at his own expense.Mr.Hogan took out a license for one of the tables.There was another table in a private room of the hotel.It had been there since last summer.People played on it and witness rented it also, fn answer to a question of Mr.Carter the Court would U.ot let Witness say whether it Was for Mr.Hogans advantage to' have these tables in the house.'\t' \u2018 Mr.Carter then called Mr.Bellemare, Revenue Inspector ia the first' Division.Hé said he knew that Mr.Hogan had taken out one license for the St.Lawrence Hall, for a billiard table, but it was ff) Jiis knowledge that there were four or five kept.He was iff the Hall on the 25th January last, and asked a clerk at og$ of thé tables how much was charged to\" play, and he replied, \u201c a quarter dollar.\u201d There was apother young man present when the question was put.There were persons playing at two of the tables when witness was there qn the 25th.Witness had fre-quentiy spoken to Mr.Hogap aud Mr.Devlin about the tables, wishing ' the licenses to be taken pjit paihër than bring the matter to Court.! ns i Me.Began* «Jwjwji referred him to Mr.Devlin, a''

\u201ceditorial leader\u201d which commences with the following words : \u201cFrom the valiant Senator down to the timid seamstress, the question on every tongue is, whether the enemy are likely to penetrate with their gunboats to this quarter?\u201d The following is an extract from the Memphis Argus of January 5th : \u201cWe spoke and speak of the ill-conducting of this war, which has now taken from our home some three or four hundred thousand of our best and bravest, which has paralyzed all business, save that which puts the money we can so illy spare into the pockets of the creatures of said President aud Cabinet.Of this war we spoke when we said so much might have been done in it that has been left undone.Those at the head of affairs were leaders to the war.We ask how they are leading through it I\u201d * * 0 * * \u201cWe have been made to standstill and take such cuff's aud kicks as the Northerner chooses to give, when he pleased and where he pleased.We have heard our generals blamed for not doing what it appears they were not permitted to do.The smothered report of Beauregard has made that truth clear enough.We have for mouths and months been told that England would do our fighting for us on the seas.\u201d Aud the Memphis Appeal is equally despondent with the Memphis Argus.The former says : \u201cThe blockade is unbreakable by us yet.In one word, we\u2019re hemmed in.We\u2019ve allowed the moment of victory to pass.We were so anxiously watching the operations of England that we stand aghast on turning our eyes homeward again to find ourselves tenfold worse than we were at the commencement of Price\u2019s last forward march, and that accursedly used sensatiouism, the arrest of Messrs.Mason and Slidell.Day follows day, and in lieu of being iveakened, we find that the federal armies at all points are being strengthened, almost every article of manufacturing and domestic necessity quadrupled in price, and our money will soon be exceedingly scarce for lack of paper and pasteboard wherewith to make it.\u201d The Richmond Dispatch of the 19th contains to foflowing editorial comments.respecting the fall of Fort Donelson : \u201cIf these bloody barbarians, whose hands are now soaked to to elbows in the life blood of men defending their own homes and firesides, dream that they are now one inch nearer the subjugation of the South than when they started on their infernal mission, they prove themselves to be fools and madmen, as well as savages and murderers.They have taught us a lesson, we admit; they have admonished us to be more wary and circumspect, to husband with greater care our limited resources, aqd not to underrate our enemy.n th® case, was a merchant in the city.Witness belieyed he was not in Court This

Disclosures in Regard to the Affairs of the Artisans\u2019 Bank.\u2014The affidavit of the late President of the Artisans\u2019 Bank, asking far a dissolution of the institution, shows the investment of about $100,000, chiefly for \u201cpolitical purposes,\u201d and mainly in the City Hall, New-York\u2014the object being ostensibly to get the city deposits.There are $26,000 more in dispute, claimed by Air.George Platt, the security of the late Chamberlain Platt, which $26,000 seems to hove been also distributed for \u201cpolitical purposes.\u201d What gold there was in the Bank, amounting to $70,-000, was withdrawn by Platt and certain Directors to purchase the stock of the Bank in Wall street, iu order to keep up the Bank by saving its stock from depression\u2014which $70,000 was all lost, as the stock was good for nothing.Some idea may be formed from this expose of the profits made by corrupt members of the Common Council who in common parlance are designated \u201cThe Ring.\u201d The Negroes in Sherman\u2019s Camp.\u2014A writer in the Tribune in answer to some charges made against General Sherman, says :\u2014 There have been, and still are, many serious deficiencies and mistakes in the course pursued, of which he is guilty.It is not true that wages are only \u201c nominally\u201d paid to the negroes ; nor that \u201c an estimate of their value is carefully kept;\u201d nor that no is \" Kept unaer loeKa.iu i.ot\u2014oci, working hours.\u201d There has beeu what I think unreasonable delay in paying the negroes, for which the excuse is given that silver was wanting to pay the exact amounts due, but nobody here supposes that the former owners are to receive compensation for the work now done by the negroes.They were paid last w®ek in cash \u2014gold, silver, and Treasury notes\u2014all that was due tor December.I saw the money given to the negroes themselves.Their wages for January will he paid before the end of this month, and after that time the payments are to be regular.When the pay-roll was called the negroes were gathered outside of Mr.Lee\u2019s office, and both their own and their masters\u2019 names were called, most of the negroes having but one, and many of the same.After tattoo the negroes are subjected to precisely the same degree of restraint that is imposed on the rest of the camp.All these explanations apply of course only to those negroes within the camp lines.Those on the plantations are subject to little or no restraint, and have far less protection than ought to be granted them.Sufficient care has not been taken to protect the negroes in camp from oppression, and those on the plantations from outrage aud robbery.\u2014 The former, while in immediate charge of their superintendent, are kindly treated.But a large number are daily distributed through the camp, the Quartermaster, under the orders of commis-| sioned officers, warrant officers, ciyilians, and even privates.The rooted contempt of the Anglo-Saxon for.the African race, especially strong in inferior specimerjs of the forçaer,\u2019shows itself in hourly acts of fraudulent oppression.There is little that could be called QtoRy, but there is also little regard for the equal rights of the blacks, and constant disposition to impose on them the most disagreeable tasks.For instance, in the work of pumping out an old ship near the dock, and discharging her freight of stone, a detail of soldiers and another of negroes were sent down to assist.When the negroes arrived, the soldiers stopped work on to pumps, and left them to the blacks, with the usual remark that \u201c It was just the work for-negroes.\u201d Air.Simpson made no objection, and they pumped away steadily all the morning.Afternoon oaine, and somebody, gjust go down \u2018into the hold, half filled with mild and stones, to clear it out.The soldiers were now very ready to pump, and thought that clearing the hold was \u201c just the work for negroes ;\u201d but Air.Simpson said \u201c.No, pumping was just the vyork for negroes in the morning, and it\u2019s just the work for negroes in the afternoon also.\u201d So the soldiers were ordered into the hold, and the negroes staid on deck and worked comfortably in the open air.\u2014 But if Mr.Simpson had not been with theiq, the soldieys Tfoflld haye bad their owa way.most brilliantly executed, and gave to our arms full assurance of victory.The battle lasted until dark, giving us possession of part of their in-trenchments.An attack was ordered upon their other flank, after the charge by Gen.Smith was commenced, by the divisions under Generals McClernand and Wallace, which, notwithstanding the hours of exposure to a heavy fire in the lore part of the day, was gallantly made and the enemy further repulsed.At the points thus gained, night having come on, all the troops encamped for the night, feeling that a complete victory would crown their labours at an early hour in the morning.This morning, at a very early hour, Geu.S.B.Buckner sent a message to our camp under a flag of truce, proposing an armistice.GEN.SCOTT GOING TO MEXICO.Washington\u2019s birthday was chosen for the nomination to the Senate of Gen.Winfield Scott as Minister Extraordinary to Mexico, with, as is said, functions such as he exercised in the pacification of the North-Eastern Boundary question.Accompanying this nomination, the project of a treaty went into the Senate, whose principal feature^ was substantially the assumption of the Alexican debt due to England, France, and Spain The interest on this amounts to three millions a year.The treaty guarantees our payment of it for five years.There is no law for the appoint, ment of an Assistant Minister to Mexico, or any other country.As Commissioner, Gen.Scott\u2019s nomination would be confirmed by the Senate, particularly if his functions should be limited to the pacification of the aimed quarrel conspired against Afexico.But it is very doubtful if the Senate will favor the scheme of buying off England, France and Spain for five years or for life.Army Worms.\u2014The New Bedford Mercury says: \u201c Air.John Wing of this city informs us that upon a recent visit to Scorton Neck, in East Sandwich, he observed upon a patch of snow in a field, myriads of army worms.They were frozen stiff, so that he could break them like a pipe-stem.Curious to ascertain whether heat would restore them to life, he took one to the house, and placed it on the mantel piece over the fire.In about half an hour the worm had become vitalized and crawled down upon the floor.Frost it seems, does not kill these plagues of the farmers.Like those other army worms, fraudulent contractors, they are proof against everything but fire\u2014and brimstone.Beaver, per

home consumption.The principal portion of other kinds (except what Rats are manufactured) are shipped to England for the London sales of March and September, or to the United States or the great Leipsic Fair.The average amount of stocks held by the Fur Houses iu the trade here fluctuates between $40,000 to $80,000.We have no very recent commercial news from England.We notice that there has been an influential meeting in London respecting the Intercolonial Railroad, and that a Committee was appointed to confer with the Imperial Government on the subject.In another part of our columns will be seen a telegram containing important news conerning a probable reorganization of Germany.Commercially considered, any such movement would be of great importance, as Prussia was the originator of the Zoll-Yerein, and Austria and the Southern States only joined it after a lengthened resistance to its principles.Should, therefore, a split take place iu the Csnfederation, we would probably see a great alteration in the Custom duties of the South of Germany.Respecting the Financial position of New York, we quote from the Shipping List of the 26th instant :\u2014 firm, as the engineering art, added to the natural topography of that ssCtiop of the country, can make it.From what knowledge we have acquired in relation to its defences, we should deem it extremely perilous to attempt its capture by mere assault, either by land or naval forces, or both combined ; for if the half that is said of it is true, to place is capable of a prolonged and successful resistance to any army, less than one hundred or one hundred and fifty thousand sfrong, that might be sent to attack it.Fortu nately, howevef; Columbus pan bë reduced, as we believe,\"without the necessiiÿ of dii'fccting a gun at its formidable works.In speaking of Colimjbus, we refer to the for-tificatipps and military lyarks of a}l kinds which have beqn constructed in tlig vicinity.The town itself is a place which, in ordinary tinjes, numbers from one thousand to twelve hundred inhabitants and is built upon low ground, sloping gradually to the river bank.It is about twelve miles below Cairo, and, by railroad, one hundred and fifty miles above Memphis.The town is situated in a heavily timbered region, and protected on the north by a range of limestone bluffs along the river, ranging in height from fifteen to seventy-five feet, flanked at their base by a strip of low land between them and the river, Tyhich overflows in times of high water.These bluffs\u2019disappear in rolling hills, the trees and brushwood upon which have beep cut down between the upper intrenchments and a rifle pit more than a mile in length.The\u2019upper intfench-nients commence ojiposite the place where the qoted chain was stretched across the river, and where a qiasked battery is placed.Above them the \u2018ground is loç, yet and marshy, sometimes completely overflowed.Below the upper rifle pit the ground is elèvatëd, apd upon the highest bluffs is a strong work mounting fletween 29 and 30 heavy pieces-64 and 3?.-poiinders.In the rear, and somewhat south of this fort, is a triangular redoubt mounting about six rifled cannon and eight or tep eleven-inch shell guns.Between this work and the river the rebel troops are principally encamped, an intrencliment extending from the town northward and protected by a mortar battery.The Alobile and Ohio railroad enters the lower part of Columbus proper through an excavation fifteen feet deep, which thus increases the natural defences.Another line of intrenchments extends1 east from the1 town, and on the bluff's opposite Wolf Rland there is a fort in wliigh there are ahbul twenty heavy pièces of ordnance.TJjgre dre also other bastions, lunettes and fortalioes comûiànding the approaches on the east, the whole making a display of not far from eighty cannon, independent of field artillery.Scores of acres of timber has been felled, forming a heavy abattis, encircling three sides.The number of the rebel troops at Columbus at tjie present time is not accurately known to any except those whe claim the right to know.Forty thousand is to figure that !)aÇ usually been put down, but there is reason to believe that this is a great exaggernriem- Indeed, it is difficult to see, if there were hear as many men as some Lave supposed- why sonie effort was not

town.Gen.Mitchell\u2019s division, by a forced march, reached the river the same day built a bridge_, and crossed, as the rear of the enemy were leaving the place.Thus this \u201cgreat stronghold,\u201d which the Rebels were to defend unto death, l,as been o,uttiiiowii and talcen without a gun.The force of circqmstânces'made it politic for Buckner to lehve alt hil cafeiullyi constructed fortifications, and betake himself to the aid of his co-Rebels at Fort Donelson, buf it was only 1-aping fron} the frying-pan into the fire, for he has doubtless been ' efiptured at the ' latter point.A correspqndent of T/ie Cincinnati Comyiercial giyes an account of the eyacuation of Bowling Green, with a report of the troops which were their commanders.The Rebel army at that place was organized into six brigades, under command respectively of Brig.-Gen.Buckner, Colonel Wood, Brig.-Gen.Breckinridge Brig - Gen.Hindman, Brig.-Gen.Floyd, and one which was formerly Hardee\u2019s command.This gives a force of about 25,000 men.Gen.Floyd\u2019s force left on the 25th of January and went by rail to Nashville aud East Tennessee.If he went in that direction at that time, he was probably then called to the westward, as it lyiR b® seGn tot Gen.Ijallecik says that he is now in Fort Doh'elsoi.Buckner\u2019s brigade departed for Bowling Green about the same time, going toward Hopkinsville, and afterward Foryjonelson.About thp 1st oif .peburary Gen, Hindman began to destrqy eyerythJng thqt could be made of advantage to our troops, and to prepare to leave.He has now left, and gone to the southward.The fortifications at Bowling Green are unfinished.They were planned and begun upon a large and magnificent scale.Indeed, the suit was not cut according to the cloth.The works were intended for heavy guns, which they did not have to mount.Anticipating an attack on Columbus, the demand was made by that place for the heavy guns at Bowling Green, and supplied.Tbe correspondence says : \u201c Ou the* night of the Tth of this month.General Hardee received the information of the1 attack on Fort Henry, and the movement of Gen.Crittenden up the Cumberland.He held

If last week we had to complain of the tempestuous weather interfering with our business, this week has in that respect been worse.We have had a series of snow storms that have for the last few days prevented our Railroads doing anything, although to-day we are informed by the Secretary of the Montreal aud Champlain Road, that their line is open, yet as the weather continues stormy, with every prospect of a heavy fall of snow, the chance is that we may see another stoppage.The Country roads are very much blocked up, nor can we look for any improvement till we have a thaw to pack to snow, at present such is its depth and its lightness that the roads are completely cut up with cahots, aud it is equally difficult to bring Produce in as to take return loads out.This creates a great stagnation of trade amongst our leading Grocers round the Markets, nor can we at present look for any amelioration of this state of matters.In Produce we have yery little tq report, arrivals from the West are necessarily light ; some few sales of Flour have been made to arrive iu May at $5.121, Rut there seems a genetal disinclination to operate, the state of the English markets are not such as to induce any speculative feeling.There is a better feeling for wheat, ex oars, but as before said owing to the blocking up of the line the receipts are trifling.The sales on the markets have been but light, nor have we any change of price to notice.Some little Barley has come in and has chiefly been bought by the Breweries at 3s 4d per ptinot.The deliveries of Hogs have been very light and prices afe looking up.The upward tendency in the Western States is caused by the recent successes of the Federal forces and the expectation of the speedy opening of tfle Southern Markets, which being yery bare of Pork would rapidly take off the great bulk of the Western accumulation, and thus enable the Eastern Markets to relieve themselves, Prices for small lots, qs yçe.have no large transactions tq ehrqntole, may be quoted at $4,50, and for a very prime lot $4,8 7 J was paid to-day.In Butter we have nothing to report, hardly any having come forward.There are no shipping parcels, and good facer\u2019s b,utter is held at 0/1\tft.Respecting the Chicago Produce market, we quote from N.AY.Gould\u2019s Circular of the 21st inst.: GENERAL GRANT\u2019S OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE CAPTURE OF FORT DONELSON.Headquarters Army in the Field, / Fort Donelson, Feh.16; 1862.\t) Gen.G.W.Cullom, Chief of Staff, Department of Missouri :\u2014 I left Fort Henry on the 12th inst., with a force of about 15,000 men, divided into two divisions, undej thé popimand of Generals McClernand and Smith.Six !'iregitnents\"' wete sent around hy water the day before, conveyed by a gunboat, or, rather, started one day ls,ter than one of the gun boats, and with instructions not to pass it.The fortifications of the enemy were from this point gradually approached and surrounded, with occasional skirmishing on the line.The foifQS\u2019iflg day, owing to the non-arrival of the gunboat and\" reinforcements sent by water, no attack was made ; but the investment was' extended on the flanks of the en'emy, and drawn closer to his works, with skirmishing all day.The evening of the 13th the gunboats and rein-forcements arrived.\"On the'14th a gallanf attack Was'made by 'Flag Officer Foote' upon the enemy\u2019s works with hir fleet, The engagement fash'd prgbjbly on® hour and a half, aud bid fair to result fafpra|ily tg to paqsp of ffig Union, when two unlucky shots disabled two ofthe arr mored gunboats, so that they were carried back by the current.The remaining two were very much disabled also, having received a number of heavy shots about\u2019 the pilot house and other parts of the yesseis.After these mishaps I concluded to rnaite the jnsestmept of Fort Itonel-son as perfect as ' possible, àuâ* pa'rtjally fortify and await repairs to gunboats.This plan was frustrated, however, by the enemy making a most vigorous attack upon our right wing, commanded by General J.A.AIcClernand, with a portion of the tores updef flenejal L.Wallace.The enemy were repelled, after a closely contested battle of several hours, in which cur loss was heavy.The officers, and particularly field officers, suffered out of proportion.I have not means yet of detepmining our Jgss even approximately, but it cannot fall short of 1,200 killed, wounded qnd missing.Of to laftér, I understand, through general fluckuer, about two hundred and fifty W®re taken prisg-ners.I shall retain enough of the enemy to exchange for them, as toy were immediately ship ped off and pot jeft for recapture.A-bout*to close of the actfop the amip'Witiop in the cartridge boxe?gave out, which, with the loss pf many of the field officers, produced great confusion in the ranks.Seeing that the enemy did not take adyantage of this fact, I ordered a charge upon the left\u2014enemy\u2019s right\u2014with
