The Indictment Of Moses y. Beach Curious Pro-
ceedings.
A legal gentleman, accompanied by Moses $.
Beach, appeared here few days since. The latter
had letter of INTRODUCTION to Governor Johnston,
which read much follows;-
nv DEAR GorEKSoK II earnestly request your con-
hdence in the bearer NJ 5 Beach and allow to in
iuIee the hops you will be able TO extend TO him
(signed c. A Woodruff
Mayor OF New York.
The law companion was armed TO the teeth with
something like as iollows;-
1. A brief, setting forth that NJ Y Beach was
in Mexico when the Lchigh County Bank was
robbed of all its assets that the indictment Of
said M. Y. Beach, by grand jury Of the common
wealth of Pennsy lvana, WAS a Wall street specu-
lauon, an effort to get Lehigh County money,
which is worthless, redeemed m full that the life
OF M. Y. Beach would BE- ia danger n required TO
appear in Pennsy lydBid az present.
z. Afildavits of M Beach, STATING mat the IN
dictment, as he vefily believes, was obtained by
Wall street Spectators, ior the purpose OF eXtort-
ing meney from his father, who has hdd repeated
attacks of apopleXy, and whose appearance within
the jurisdiction Of Prnu-y vauia, under existing
circumstances, might be attended with serious con-
sequences 10 him.
that he had heard lwyrr offer 10 procure the
Withdrawal of the rcqulsiton OF the Governor of
Pennsylvania on Governor Fish, for M. y. Beach,
and quash The Indictment, for 5000.
4. Another brief, put in by the attorney, stating,
that he had understood that the Governors (F.h 81
warrant, to surrender M Beach into the hands
of the Pennsylvania sheriff, had been hawked
about Wall street, but nobody would give 5000 TO
save M. y Beach
All these procet dings are before our Governor,
on an application To quash proceedings against the
tank haancler, M \ Beach.

ArTiuai Of the republic
The steamship Republic, w. II. Hudson, U. s.
N, commander, arrived here to-day, being the
thirteenth from Valparaiso, and the ninety.thrd
from New York, having sailed thereirom the
14th day Of Apnl last.
The Republic was detained for Goals eight days
at Rio, and eleven at Valparaiso; Also six days ia
the Straits Of Magellan, by thick and very rough
weather These sioppages being allowed for, her
net sailing time will compare favorably with that
of her predecessors. The Republic is unquestion-
ably a superior ocean steamer-an opinion that will
be readily concurred IN by those who know any,
thing Of the vessel, her short career on the
waters Of the Atlantic; but If this generally enter
tanned belief required further proof Of its
ness II he's been shundantly furnished by the voy-
age just terminated, in the course of which she
has encountered such gales and seas as put her
ever qualify 10 the most satisfactory test.
The voyage of this fine ship has been attended
with success, safety, and despdtch-a large share
OF which is properly attributable 10 the professional
skill and constant vigilance Of Captain Hudson NJ
sea, and 10 his energy aud bushes tact in port To
his poteness of manners and oblgng attentions
also, are passengers, know-bsing myself one of
them-in great measure indebted for their per-
sonal comfort and enjoyment throughout the
Journey.
