Correspondence Of the Herald.l

BosroS, Nov. 10th, 1870.
The Grasd Jury came isto Court this morn
ing, and reported a true bill against Hannah
Kinney, on q charge Of poisoning her husband,
George T. Kinney. She pleaded "not guilty" Her
appearance was affecting In the extreme, asd excl
ted the sym pathy every one present She is much
altered, and has apparently suffered very much
from herlong confinement, as she looks very jail
porn. She was simply, yet neatly sttirea ina black
dress, with hat Of the same color, which strongly
costrasted with the ashy paleness Of her eounte-
nance. Her voice was unusually clear, and she
answered TO the indictment with the full conscious
ness ofperfeet innocence. No day has as yet been
assigned for her trial. has any counsel been given
her, Of both which will apprise you, az soon ~
they occur.
There 10 nothing new here. The Boston Book
just Published is splendid speeimes Of oar cous-
try's talent. Have you seen it7
Truly yours.

These are only the first batch OF office seekers
'or this city. We have immense loads Of fresh
pork yet in store We have also received lists of the
office seekers in Albany, Boston, Elizabeth town,
Philadelphia and other places, together with re-
marks on their capacities, talents, sc. These we
shall reserve for future day Slashing times this
winter and next spring.
News FROM CHINA is now looked for with mere
curiosity perhaps than from any other quarter ofhe
world People have become curious to know how
the Ceestas received the forty -four Founders sent
to them this by the British.
The latest Intellgenc came direct three weeks
ago, and was down to the 9Th of last June. More
recent news ought to have reached us by the way
Of Bombay and England. None, however, came by
the Queen, but may by the Western. But if not, the
probability is, that shall receive the next intel
ligerce by one ofthe American ships left at Canton
On the 81 Of June there were at Whampoa, the Ca
lumet for Boston, to sail in days; the Ann Nj Kim
for New York, same time; the Globe for Philadel-
phia, in Is days; the Mantle for New York, same
time All fast sailing vessels the arrival of OF
which say the Ann M'Kim, clipper, is daily ex-
pected.
We shall keep sharp lsok out for her or any
other vessel from China, for the next will be
very important. Even il no battle shall have been
fought something decisive must have been done.
The Chinese will either have to fight eat opium.
That immense English fleet will not visit Canton for
nothing. One SO large must necessarily do some
thing 1t no doubt reached Canton by the middle Of
June, for the araNt courier, of the war steam
ers the 7th of June standing for that port
We annex correct list of the vessels, amount and
soforth:

Ex.PREspEST ADAMS AND HIS LECTURES
These are the most and original articles of the
day-both the lecturer Tin spite of his age) and the
lectures. His last lecture Faith" will be found
in this days paper. Mr. Adams begins to see thai
the tendency Of the age is TO materialism and inf
delity-and he boldly recalls the public mind 10 the
prsper point Of observation.
We perceive that several programmes of lectures
are published, TO be given during the ensuing win
ter. Two thirds these leetures lead to undoubea
nateriasm, sapping religion and Christianity alike.
We have made arrangements to have every able lee
tsrc delivered in this city, anywhere, fully reported
with essreyiews showing their nfdel, and ir-
religious tendency, where such exist, but if other
wise otherwise. Professor Silma,, Of New Haven,
a religious man, too, was yet silly man enough 20

tics and b,nking-steam power and railroads-office
hunting and speculaton-law and medicinc-all, all
lead to uaterialism in thought-and ultimate infdel-
ity in religion. The work Of satan is taken out of
bis own hands, and that respectable old scoundrel
has nothing to do nowadays but to sit his
launches, curl up his tail over his cloven feet,
stroke his mustach HOS like Broadway dandy, and
see the whole world going TO rerdtion Of their
free will and accord, at the rate Of 25 to 80 miles

From the arrangements we have made, we SHAH
be able to supply the public with all such intelli'

than any journal in the land.
A corrupt and unprincpled cabal of politicians in
New York and Albany have already formed a scheme
10 control and direct the conduct Of General Harri-
son, similar to the Kitchea Cabinet clique which
controlled General Jackson-and in pursuance OF
these intrigues, their partisan papers in this city
have been mskisg and unrnaking the new Presidents
cabinet at will. The movements of this corrupt
Clique, with its affiliated cabas in Albany, Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and elsewhere, will be
watched and reported at length in the Herald.
The great of those people who elected Ge-
neral Harrison want some Independent journal, able
and willing TO defend him from the ntrigues Of the
corrupt tribe Of oiFce-seekers and politicians that
every triumphant party generates nits bosom That
duty shall fearlessly perform during the next
session Of Congress, through the scenes ofthc inau

probably be called together legslate for the whole

Can compete successfully with us. Our patronage
is so great, that have the means put inte o.
hands of surprising every other newspaper-and
whenever an opportunity presents itself, we never

CHATHAM THEArRr.-The new drama Of the
Carpenter of Roucn, which at this house through
out the past week, deserves a little more notice
than similar productions usually meet with at the
hands Of the press in this city. IL is founded
portion Of European history, that is Of the most in
terestips character, and although il is not well
worked up as il might have been, still there is a
great lesson Z, be learnt by those who would look
beneath the surface Of things. The tyranny Of the
priesthood in the middle ages, and the cructies in
acted on the Hugemots after the revocation Of the
ediet of Nantes, were the first blow to the church
Of Rome, and the whole portion Of European his
tory which treats on these great events is essen
tally dramatic, and we wonder that more dramas
have not been constructed on these events. There
!. a rich mine which would we'll reward the poet
and the dramatist. There are faults in the Car
pentcr Of Rouen, but II contains many Beauties and
the acting, though little too redundant, and per-
haps little too emphatic, yet was, upon the whole,
very instructive. Tonight new local drama is to
be prodsced, which will be followed by the Car
pentcr Of Rousn sfterpiece.

ed success. Wea not going to diate on the caus-

persons within the walls 10 keep the concern its
legs. They must be sufficiently apparent TO the
parties interested To the Inhabitants Of that por-
ito. Of the city, HilIs theatre possessed quiet ele
CANT and cheap place Of amrsement-yet the house
had unfortunately acquired a maurois odsur, which
IL would take long time to counteraet, and as the
old provsrb says Hills company would want their
solcns IL they had waited until the public had APP
preciated the many excellcncies which he introduce
ed on the boards. All however would not do, and
therefore tonight the cate Yankee will march out
drums beating, celours flying, and with all the ho-
nors Of war. We bespeak Tor this once, at least,
that Hills house will overflow.

NAvAL.-Commodore Morris is about to leave the
Navy Board, and take command Of the Indepen-
dence, which gees out to relieve the Ohio, the flag
ship Of the Mediterranean squadron. Commodore
Morris has been in the Board of ON
last eighteen years. and has done little, perhaps
any ether member during that time to embarrass the
movements of the Department, and cause dissatis-
factisn and nneasiness in the service. He has
ccived his So 500 per aanam with great regularity,
and his arduous Iabors have been divers fled by
trip to Europe in the Braadywine, which took out
General lafayette. After landing Lsfay cite, Com
modore Morris visited the dockyards of England and
Of France, and then returned to resume his atat
the Board. He is an officer of great g.llantry--of
much private aud professional worth, but it might
be supposed that twenty years enjoyment of oae Of
the most lucrative and honorable posts in the SER
vice could very properly be urged as reason why
some of his numerous Juniors, equally meritorious,
and equally entitled to the favorable conside ration
of the Department, who have never been honored
with command, or important service Of any kind,
should be ordered to the independence in his stead
But the Secretary of the Navy is mere of wax

fit that is dispensed by the Department.
