The Sun.
London, England, 1842-06-23 00:00:00

a most brilliant time of it in Cuba this winter, where
her attractions were as great as ever, and whence she
sailed direct for this city.—The Brahams are out west, •
giving a series of brilliant concerts to crowded audiences
on each occasion— -.They_ will be at the Falls and at the
Springs this summer.—Mrs. Sutton and Signor Nagel,
after a very succestful tour in the south, are now at
Louisville, giving concerts to brilliant audiences. They
intend this summer to visit Niagara, Toronto, Kingston,
Montreal, Quebec, &c.—Mr. and Mrs. Sloman are in
Montreal. Forrest has just closed an engagement with
Thorne.—Niblo opened a few nights since, and has had
brilliant houses every night. His attractions for this
summer are very great. Those old favourites, the
Ravels, are with him.—The Olympic closes a very suc-
cessful season this evening.—The new opera of the Maid
of Saxony, words by George P. Morris, Esq., music by
Charles Horn, has had pretty fair success, considering
all things. We presume that it will be laid aside for
the present, or during Fanny Elssler's engagement. We
learn that Gen. Morris intends to go out to England, to
superintend in person the production of this opera at
Covent Garden.
FASHIONABLE MovusteNTs.—Lord Morpeth, we be-
lieve, is at this time at the White Sulphur Springs,
Virginia ; he intends to spend the summer at Saratoga,
Niagara Falls, and Upper and Lower Canada. Where,
ever he gets u chance he travels by stages in preference
to railroads or steam-boats, and always takes the reins
and drives himself, if the driver will let him.—Charles
Dickens and lady :re in the city ; they leave to-morrow
in the George Washington for " merrie England ;"
D. having made her calculation, finds this hasty departure
necessary, as she has determined that there shall be no
Yankee born in her family Dickens' portfolio is filled
with curipms and graphic incidents which he has
met with on his tour ; and it is his intention, as soon as
he reaches England, to publish a book containg Boa's be-
wilderments in the United States.---M. Van Buren and
his man Friday, after visiting General Jackson and Mr.
Clay, have gone to CinJinnati, and intend to some round
the northern part of the Union down to Saratoga.—Our
ta,hionable reason bids fair to be a very brilliant one ;
already crowds are on the wing for the Springs and En-
rope, and hotel keepers at Sarat )ga are fitting up beds in
the churches for the accommodation of their customers.
—Dr. Lardner is at Albany delivering lectures. He
go,s out west, lecturing all the way.
TRIAL OF COLONEL 11.01`.•;ROE EDWARDS.—The trial
of Colonel Nlofiroe Edwards, one of the greatest finan-
cier,: and finest gentlemen of modern times, without
the benefit of the bankrupt act, begins to-day at eleven
o'clock in the Court of. Oyer and Terminer, before Judge
Kent. The Hon. Daniel Webster is here as one of the
wit.:essess. This trial will create a great sensation—
almost amounting to a moral earthquake—throughout
this country and Europe. Monroe Edwards has
$60,000 in gold, twenty two carats fine, in his strung
box in the vaults of the Bank of North America,
Philadelphia, besides being a man of eerie, fashion,
taste and refinement, including the honour of Colonel
in some regular army, but we don't know what—
certainly not the cold water army. He has travelled
in Europe—visited Paris—borrowed money of Lord
Spencer, and what is more surprising, too, paid back the
borrowed money. his life has been full of flash, fashion,
and adventure-his person a perfect Apollo Belvidere.
.His trial will probably occupy all this week, and a bit of
the,next. The array of legal talent on both sides is
tremendous. We find for the prosecution James R.
Whiting, Ogden Hoffman, and Charles O'Connor—for
the Gallant Colonel, Hon. T. F. Marshall, and two
others.—New York Herald.
LETTER enom Mlixsco.—We yesterday received ad-
vices from Vera Cruz to the 19th inst. Permission has
been given to the celebrated Gutierrez Estrada to re-
turn to the Repubic. It may be recollected that he wrote
the letter to the President Bustamente, recommending
the ezitablishment of a monarchial form of government in
Mexico, and the call of a foreign prince to the throne.
Santa Anua has issued a decree prohibiting the deputies
from Canipeachy from taking their seats in the Con-
stitupt Congress, shortly to meet at the city of Mexico.
There was a rumour in Mexico of a revolutionary move-
ment in. the South, headed by General Alvarez, who is
said to have declared forFederation.—New York Herald.
SEIZURE OF PASSENGER VESSELS.—The British bark
Hindon, has been libelled for having ninety more pas-
sengers on her arrival at this port, than are allowed by
law ; and the packet ship Philadelphia for having forty
more. A prosecution has also been commenced against
the bark Science, for having seven more than her com-
plement. According to the statute, a vessel, having
to the extent of nineteen passengers beyond what is per-
mitted for her tonnage, must pay $l5O for each ; but in
cases where there are twenty and over, the ship is for-
feited. A child, equally with an adult, is considered a
passenger. A mistaken view on this point has caused
the difficulty here named.
Governor Boggs, of Missouri, is still alive. No dis-
covery has been made of the assassin.
GREAT ATTRACTION AT WASHINGTON. —A CAP-
TAIN GOING TO DIE.—It will be recollected that " Cap-
tain Botts, -of Richmond, announced in the bills of the
day a year .ago, that be meant to head a certain ' Captain
Tyler, or die.' Having been unable to accomplish the
said heading of Captain Tyler, Captain Botts intends to
fulfil his promise to the public and the Whig party, and
will have the honour to die' on the 10th of July next,
between the hours: of twelvc and two o'clock. Admit-
tance gratis. The three natyves of Virginia' stake-
holders."

and anchored off the Battery. At eight o'clock she fired
a salute, which was retnrned from Governor's Island and
from the receiving ship North Carolina. The Warspite
is the crack frigate of the English navy, and is a remark-
ably tine looking man of war. We understand that she
is to Temiiin here for Lord Ashburton.
OHIO usTICE.---Farrington, the late President of the
Galliopolis (O.) Bank, has been sentenced to ten years
in the State Prison for his financial villainy. This is
'capital. A state where such a spirit of justice c3ists,
will never repudiate. What's become of Levis and his
thousand brothers in booty ? The State prisons ought to
flourish about these days.
SlGNS.—Governor Hubbard of New Hampshire, inti-
mates that the State Prison is the most flourishing in-
stitution in that State. New Hampshire is a thorough
loccfoco State. _ .

POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.—Benjamin Demyre, post.

letter, has been brought to the city and imprisoned.
He must remain so, or give bail in the sum of $5,000.

event as ominous. and the idea haunted her to death.
She was entirely free from. bodily disease.

We have already had its premonitory oy mptoms in this
city for several days past.
VALUABLE. RECIPE.—It is said that life can be pro-

Ocean Inusrance Company, of this city. The capital of
