TRIAL AND CONVICTION OF M. \ BEACH-MYS-
TERIEs OF New YoRK.-The trial of Moses Y.
Beach for libel on his brother-in-law, Benjamin
H. Day, and on which he was convicted last night,
is one of the droest concernsNve ever remember
to have heard of or seen for many day. Its reve-
lations in the mysteries of journalism and Justice
are equally droll-equally laughable--equally sur
prising The proceedings inside Of the Tombs, and
the proceedings outside, are just original and
startling the stories told in the poems of Ariosto,
or in the chapters of Boccacios Decameron.
A great deal OF effort appears to have been made
on the trial to prove that Hamilton had African
blood-perchance royal blood--in his veins, and
was withal man of bad reputation. We don't
know much of either, but by all accounts Hamil-
ton, who has long perambulated Wall street, has
about as good an average character as can be found
in that famous streetand possibly he is of as roy
al lineage too, though of II different color, as
any of the nabobs there One broad fact looms
large in this trial. and that is, the extraordinary
penchamt for borrowing money which exists among
some of the officials in the Tombs from those who
get into the clutches of justice. One would sup
pose that their salaries and fees would be sufficient
to keep them out of Wall street, and beyond the
reach of the charities of the Jacksonville, Plain
field and Ulster Banking office, where the sofa lay
But no-Moses Y. Beach seems to monopolize the
banking business of the Tombs and Hamilton APP
pears to have got into trouble because he would
not loan on the same security.
Verify, verify, the mysteries of justice and Jour-
nalism, are the drollest and richest in New York
The continuance of the trial and the verdict of the
jury will be found in another column May some
body have mercy upon miserable sinners:

Fay Robinson AGATN.-Yesterday we received
the following note from Major John Barney of
Baltimore, who is now at the Astor House, in re-
lation to this person -
JOHN BARNEY will be obliged if MIR. Bennett can
give him the address Of Mr. Fay Robnsonhe loaned him
book to be translated he supposed for the of
the Herald.
II Mr. Bennett does not know his address, there any
other person about the establishment who does!
In reply We are sorry that we can give Major
Barney no information of this Fay, nor do we be-
lieve can any one in our Office. We have already
| stated that he never was connected with this Of
fee in any editorial capacity. 1t is true that on
several occasions, out of mere feelings ofkindness
and on his pleading his destitute condition, we
gave him few small sums OF money He brought
US a few small written articles in return, but we
soon found that he could not write to suit us, ard
that he was Of no whatever. Yet the little
kindness that we extended towards him has sub
iected us to great deal of trouble, arrogance, and
ingratitude

o. N. P. WILLIS has indeed commenced libel
suit against the Portland Tribune (not the Boston
Transcript and according to all accounts, very
properly TOO. We have seen the attack of the Tr-
bune on Willis, and meaner attempt to injure a
mans reputation we never did read. From some
of the charges, growing out of his residence in
Glenmary, we believe it comes from some one who
wrote us similar letter on Willis two years ago,
but which was sent to the wrong man when it was
sent to us.

The Great New England Festival.

Beginning on our first page will be founda full
accurate and graphic report OF the interesting cee-
bration of the landing OF the Plymouth Pilgrims
which took place in this city yesterday.
The first portion OF these proceedings, which con-
sisted of the Grafton of Mr. Choate delivered in
the Tabernacle, was rather dull and uninteresting
Mr.. Choates effort was quite disappointment
being flat, common place, and somewhat in the
style of the sophmore class at college. At this we
were quite surprised, having been given to under
stand that this gentleman was possessed of a bril-
liant mind-orignal ideas-and philosophical ex-
pansion of intellect. Instead, however, his speech
was verbose and fiat throughout. In consequence
thereof, our reporters condensed his dffuse ideas
in order to give them spirit, vigor and life.
But if the mornings work was as dull as the wea-
ther the evening made mp for the deficiency. The
spirit-strring speeches-the patriotic bursts-the
brilliant scintillations which irradiated the dinner
table, can only be fifty compared to the sparkling
wines and superb cuisine of the Astor House We
can only say that they were worthy of each other.
Glory and success to the patriot puritans of New
England, and their immortal descendants,to the la
test generation and day after ! With all your
faults-your burning of witches-your Punishment
of quakers, &c, you were the master-spirits of a
great movement that will be felt for all time to
come.
