 in New-York city and in other places have repeat edy expressed their belief that Colt is still alive, Dr. Alexander E. Hosack has addressed communities | ton to the Editor of the N Y Com. Advertiser giv- ing very particular account of his examination of the body ofColt Doctor H, states that he knew Colt well when ivng and fully recOgnizedh his body when dead. The Doctor says he made the post mortem examination with the physician of the City Prson in the presence of three others of the profession and of at least hundred citizens. He remarks -" We 1 laid open the cavities of the chest and abdomen and removed the heart with the dagger The heart was firmly contracted upon the dagger, and probably ne yer again dilated after it had been pierced, when death must have immediately followed" He says that when he first saw Colt after his death, he was "lyng at full length upon his back he dressed he had been during the day. in his dressing gown panaloOns, c., but perfectly lifeless. His head was inclined to the lett side, with the mouth open his cOuntenonce was natural but very pald; the left arm touched the bed at the elbow, with the hand reposng on the body The right arm lay on the bed, with the hand resting on the body little above the right hip" The Doctor further says" That the act had been one of calm deliberation may be infer red from the fact that he had with some sharp in- strument removed a circular portion about two in- ches indametersofhis waistcoat and under garments leaving the breast immediately beneath perfectly ex- posed. Not more than table spoonful of blood had escaped externally, as the dagger occupied the en- tire wound,' &c.
 This statement will probably set the matter at resi- far as the question of Colts existence is con- cemed Palladium.
