THE MICHIGAN CONSPIRACY CASE.

A Telegraphic despatch has already commune
Gated to our readers the result of the trial Of the
persons charged with burning the Central Railroad
depot at Detroit, but the names of those convicted
were inaccurately reported. They were Alnmi
Filley, Lyman ChampIin, Willard w. Champlin,
Erastus Champlin, Richard Price, Eben. Price.
Orlando D. Williams, William Corwin, Ebenezer
Farnham, Andrew ]. Freeland, Erastus Smith. and
Aaron Mount. Smith and Farnham were recon-
mended to mercy.
The prisoners counsel requested the Court to
charge the jury that the question Of conspiracy
between the defendants is not material unless il in.
cluded the burning of the depot, mentioned in the
lndlctment and if the depot was destroyed in fur.
therance OF any agreement or conspiracy, the agree.
ment or conspiracy is merged in the higher offence
OF arson" This the Court refused to do. and er.
ceptions were taken, upon which an appeal will
probably be made. This trial has been one of The
longest on record. Sixty-seven days were employ. ~,
ed in the examination Of witnesses. The prosecn.
ton examined 246, and the defendants 249-in ali

THE VICTIMS OF THE LOPEZ EXPEDITION.
A letter received in this city from RoBERT H.
ELLIS, captain in the last expedition Of Lopez
against the Island of Cuba. and who is now pri-
soner at Havana, states that amongst the many
promising young men who have lost their lives in
that unfortunate enterprise are BEVERLY WAUGH,
formerly of this city, and son of Mr.. GusTAvus
HARRISON, of Georgetown.
We are reminded, by hearing of the above let
ter, of the proprety of calling upon those concern
ed as chiefs IN gUsllng up the expedition to publish
an authentic list Of all the persons who nrnceadAA
TO Cuba as membe-- vr III the case OF at least
one of the young men above named as having been
killed in battle, his parents, as we are informed,
were not aware that he had left New Orleans, and
supposed him to be yet engaged there in the line
of his business. The parents of others who were
killed in skirmishes with the Spanish troops and
the peasantry are no doubt not only Ignorant but
unsuspicious of their misfortune.
Of the number who embarked in the Pdmpero,
which has been variously stated at from four hun
dred and fifty to five hundred, we yet know posi-.
lively Of the fate of less than one-half-the fifty
who were executed at Havana, and the hundred
and fifty who are prisoners. All the rest have
most probably perished and it is due to their friends
and relatives that their melancholy fate should be
made known.

The suggestion, in the Presidents Proclamation
of last April, that :" the young and inconsiderate
: were especially in danger Of being seduced into
: the schemes Of the Cuban consprators,' - turned
out to be literally true. Of the hundred and six
teen victims sent prisoners to Spain, ffty-one are
ascerained to be of the age Of % years and UNDER
down to the age Of l6; and of the whole number
only eighteen are above the age of 80 years.
Weekly national intelligencer., 1851-10-04

We submit this piece of evidence, without
argument to the verdict of our readers conlennng
ourselves with stating the material points which II
appears to US to establish viz:
| First. That the whole scheme of the Revolu-
ton of Cuba originated, and was executed, SO far
as il was carried out before its sailing, aoifhtn the
United States.
Aecondly. That the " Cuban Junta" within the
United States was not, as we supposed,
fancy term applied to certain New York leaders In
the conspiracy against the territory of Span but
fixed fact, and that LOPEZ clsimed to be acting by
their authority.
Thirdly. That, SO far from any revolution ex-
listing or in progress in Cuba, this document per-
emptorily excludes such conclusion, by declaring.
in express terms, that "the revolutionary move
ment' was about to be now undertaken by his
CLopez's agency" &c.
Fourfhiy. That the resources out of which the
amount of this and of all similar bonds was to be
paid in the first place, were the public lands and
public property in Cuba, of whatever kind: and
Filthy. That these bonds were to be further
paid, in the second place, out of "he fiscal re-
sources of THE PEOPLE and Government Of Cu6a,
from whatever resources derived"
Sirthhy. That a high Judicial functonary of one
of the States Of this Union was, with LOPEZ and
two Members of the Patriotic Junta," party to
this bond.
SeventhIy. That this document establishes the
precise accuracy of the language employed by
the President of the United States, in his Procla-
nation Of 25th April last, warning all persons
against connecting themselves with the unlawful and
desperate enterprise against Cuba, wherein he ex-
pressed his belief that this expedition was insti-
I" gated and set on foot by foreigners who dare to
" make our shores the scene of their guilty and
hostile preparations against friendly Power,
" and seek by falsehood and Misrepresentation to
" seduce our own citizens, especially the young
and inconsiderate, into their wicked schemes"
and when he denounced such expeditions as adj
ventures for plunder and robbery, which must meet
the condemnation Of the civilized world"
What more stupendous scheme of pIunder and
robbery was presented to the eye Of the world
than that which is sketched out in the bond," Of
which the above is an accurate copy
