ton before the U. s.. Commissioner, al
Columbus. Lyman Cole, Lewis Choate,
John A. Cummings, William Kissane,
G.. P. Stephens, J. G. Nicholson, Adam
Chapin, Amasa Chaplin, Rufus Chaplin,
Lorenzo Chaplin, James Chandler and
William II. Holland are charged with
conspiracy on or about the 5th day OF
January, 1851, to destroy a certain
steamboat called Martha Washington, -
for the purpose of defrauding Insurance
Companies, who had insured the boat
and goods supposed to be on board of
her. They are also charged with pro-
curing the same to be burned on or a.
bout tie 14th OF the same month, with
intent to sink and destroy the boat and
goods on board of her, and with intent
to deiraud, &c.
The affidavit on which the warrant
was issued, was made by Sydney C.
Burton, 18th Dec, 1859.
The examination commenced on

were called by the prosecution. The
question whether the Commissioner had

the affirmative. Three or iour witness

DARING RoBBERIEs ON STEAMBOATS,
CHLoRoFoRM usED.-We learn thai
passenger on the Belle Key. while
the boat was living at New Orleans
was robbad of $4,000, his all. His
room was entered during the night,
and he was robbed while asleep
During the passage Of the boat, and
before she reached Vicksburg, several
passengers were robbed OF small
amounts Of money and articles oI
clothing.
The steamer Martha Jelcstt during
her upward trip, about the same
time, was infested by thieves, who
had mixed among the cabin passen-
gers, and net night passed without
robbery, or an attempt to rob some
Of the passengers or to break open
their rooms.
The most astonishing robbery
was that of Mr.. w. P. Morrell, on
the Sth inst. on the Fanny Smith, oi
four thousand dollars, in bank notes.
On retiring to his berth at night, Mr..
Morrell had the precaution TO lock
both doors oil his stateroom, and TO
tie his money 10 a belt around his
waist next TO his skin. On waking
in the morning, he perceived a sitting
oder in the room. He got up, and,
on examining the door. found it was
broken open. He next looked for
his money; it was gone-both OF his
shirts having been cut open, and the
belt emptied Of its contents. This
daring robbery was no doubt effected

THE WHEELING BRIDGE CASE

The WHEELING BRIDGE CASE
"Ion," the Washington correspon-
dent Of the Baltimore San, thus
refers to this case. We trust that no
such clash Of jurisdiction will take
place:
Public attention will soon be called
to the remarkable conflict between
the United States Supreme Court
and the legislative branch Of the
Government, in the Wheeling bridge
case. The Court, by decree at its
late session, after a re-hearing OF the
case, de"reed that the bridge should
be removed as an obstruction to
navigation, or elevated 10 a certain
height, and they allowed a certain
time within which the bridge compa-
ny should comply with the terms OF
the decree. Congress, at the late
session. and after the adjournment OF
the Court, constituted the bridge a
post road, with a view to save the
bridge and evade the decree. They
undertake to legalizs what the judi
ciary has decided TO be a nuisance.
