LGWe perceive that this celebrated English Enchan-
res who much renowned for her beauty as for the
excellence OF her performance and whose departure for
America announced in the most attering terms by
the London press has arrived in this country and will
make her first appearance tomorrow evening at the
American Museum.
Barnum, in this engagement, has commenced a
era in the management of museums Importing eminent
performers from Europe to crafty the curiosity of the
American public has heretofore been confined to the great
capitalists of the theatre and opera. In commencing this
enterprise he has secured perhaps the hran per-

The Court convened at the usual hour yesterday and
the reading documents forw arded by the accused
to the Navy Department resumed. One Of these
papers gave rise to little scene between the Judge
Advocate and Commander Mckenzie One of the papers
said had nothing to do with the and could be
made evidence Of although the whole paper might 60
on the record.
The Judge Advocate insisted that this was wrong
that as the paper to 60 the record its contents
must all be read.
The Court thought there was no necessity for reading
it ALL and to this the Judge Advocate excepted
with some pertinacity until Comm ander Mckenzie said
he supposed if had been private letter to his wife,
the Judge Advocate would have manifested the in
clipaion TO proract the proceedings by peepng into it."
The Judge Advocate. at this taunt turned round and
looked Commander Mckenzie full in the face the latter
having copy ofthe Courier Enquirer in his hand al the
time. and said with marked emphasis All, sir all this
charge about pro'rdcon toH be properly replied rery
shortly have manifested any desire reep into
private paPers-but let il GO"
MIpsHIpMAN HAYS then recalled, and examined by
the Judge Advocate in relation to the FRYING of
the mast and TO the department OF Mr. Spencer from
the time his doom announced up to the time he
executed. On this latter point only thing worth
porting ELECTED, viz, that Spencer sat the camp
stool until he taken to the gaAgway and did not 60

A.-No | was not the officer Of the deck.
BY JUDGE Apvoc ArE-Do you know if on the nigh. of
the 30h the station bill for the process of execution
made out
Q.-Have you heard Mr.. Spencer complain of Captain
McKenzie's conduct towards him
Ayes have heard him speak Of the commanders
ceDsuring him in an angry way
The examination of Mr. Hays being closed, the Presi-
dent asked the Judge Advocate who he intended 10 call
next. The Judge Advocate replied Alexander McKe.
The only point OF interest in his examination was that
he testified that Commander Mckenzie, in his address
the crew after the execution said that he satisfied
that the young (Spence,) had been hing him for
hall an hour before his death"
The court adjourned till Monday.
