OF Doct. Catlin. the accessory Of Mrs.
Cunningham, in the production Of the
fictitious heir, has turned States evil
dence, and will reveal the whole fraud.
Doct. Uhl, her other medical attendant,
who has played the spy and traitor,
under the guidance of the District At
torney, while protesting to act as her
conidant, is endeavoring to conceal the
dishonor of his position by feeding the
popular appetite for all the infamous par
ticulars; the public are getting "the
whole truth" and little more than the
whole. The wretched woman, in her
last desperate throw for the whole of the
coveted estate, has probably lost it all,
and consigned herself to the penitentiary.

plot, cannot but turn all the doubts lin

W The two independent conventions
at st. Paul are simultaneously at work
framing two separate Constitutions for
the State Of Minnesota. Both Constitu-
tions are to be submitted to the people,
and the prominent question before them
will be which, is the legitimate conven.
ton, and this will be determined by the
regularity Of the proceedings adopted by
the Republicans in organizing their branch
Of the convention. The Republicans
have one more member in their assem-
bly, than a quorum Of the whole body
elected. The Democrats have one less
than quorum Of the whole. The con-
test before the people will be an exciting
one.

1t is supposed the explosion Of the

the murder. 1t is intimated that Doct.

OF The importations Of foreign goods
are very heavy, and the prospects Of an
abundant harvest will increase them,
The revenues from duties is exceeding
the estimates, and notwithstanding the
reduction of the tariff, it is estimated at
Washington that the aggregate of the
revenue from lands and duties, the pres
ent year, will exceed SSOOOO,OOO, leav-
ing surplus of $3O,0OO,OOo, which,
added to the present surplus, will make
an aggregate of $5O,OOO,OOO, that will be
accumulated in the public treasury. 1t
must be invested in some way in which
it will do the least harm. To suffer it
to accumulate IN the sub-treasuries would
embarrass the commerce and paralyze
the industry Of the country. AS distri-
button to the States is Objectionable, the
best expenditure would be to put it into

H- The infamous notorie.v which the

- The infamous notoriety which the
Burdell case has given to Bond Street, and
The conduct Of the Cunningham family since
the acquittal Of the mother, has rendered the
n,ighborhood very undesirable place of re-
sidenee, and houses have become unrentable
and unsaleable. Proprietors in the neigh
borhood have been anxiously waiting for the
settlement Of the case, in order to buy the
Burdell house and get rid of its occupants,
believing any sacrifice they should make in
its purchases good investment for the ben
eft of their other property.
The horrible tragedy committed so recent
ly in the house, covered apparently with an
impenetrable veil Of mystery. has excited so
much attention in all parts, that strangers
stopping in the city were sure to walk up to
Bond street and take look at the exterior
Of the celebrated place. Their presence at
tracted others-a low class of citizens and
their presence added to the woman's bolster
Gus conduct, kept the neighborbood in dis
quiet, and the house became, to use the Ian
guage of one Of the informants, ''a perfect
nuisance"
Ladies that entered the street were hailed
as Mrs. Cunningham or her daughters, and
assailed with every kind of insulting and OBJ
scene cpithet. At first the Cunninghams
appeared to conceal themselves from the pub
lie gaze, but of late they have apparently
courted an infamous notoriety. The mother
has had number of women of doubtful cha
racter around her, and she would set in the
front parlor, in company with one or more
of them, with the blinds and windows open
and thus exposed to the gaze of the over-cu-
rious public, would talk to them in the mos
| viloent and boisterous manner, gesticulatine
and performing various fantastic feats, laugh.
ing in triumph, shaking her fists, &c.
The female visitors to the house during tn,
day were numerous; and in the evening
men to the number of ten, fifteen or ever
twenty, would be seen there, indulging il
noisy revels far into the night-often as lat
as two or three o'clock in the morning.
The performances were of very bolster
GUS kind, and generally held in the yer,
room where the fearful tragedy was enacted
There they would dance, sing, shout, halo
; jump, laugh and clap their hands. Otter
while these revels were in progress, low PEG
pie would gather about, shouting ''Ha, til
murdcrers bring out the woman who kill
ed DR.. Burdell,' &C., INDUCING their preju
dice in the broadcast accusation and the mos
obscene epithets.

INFLUENCE OF THE WAR IN INDIA

INFLUENCE OF THE WAR IN INDIA
1t is evident that England is upon the
eve of the most severe struggle for the
maintenance Of her empire in the east
that she has ever encountered. Her
most sagacious statesmen-those most
confident of her power and resources
look forward, with misgivings and fears,
to the issue Of the conflict. 1t has been
declared in Parliament that the whole Of
India is to be reconquered-that it was
doubtful il English authority now ex-
tended over a foot Of territory, except
what her troops stand upon. The whole
country is in rebellion against English
rule, and the revolt is extended and sns-
tanned by Chinese and Russian intrigue
and influence. The war to be waged
was not against unwarlike and undisci-
plined native tribes, but against troops
drilled and disciplined to the use of the
weapons and modes Of European war.
fare, by British officers from her best
schools. The contest will demand the
exertion Of the entire strength, power
and resources Of the British empire, Cor a
longer or . shorter period. If by one
strenuous effort, the rebellion be sup
pressed at once, the English empire and
power in Asia will be increased and
made durable by the struggle. If it be
protracted, it will exhaust SO much Of
her resources, that if she finally triumph
she will be left weak and poor, at home
and abroad. No estimate Of the cost oil
such a war can be made. The first
effect of the revolt is to suspend the col
lection Of all revenues and taxes in India
from which the enormous expenses Of the
English administration and army have
been supported, and which heretofore
have been made to pay for the conquest
Of the country. But the sinews of wal
in the coming struggle must be drawn
exclusively from England. The drain o
specie to support her Chinese and Indian
war must be enormous, and must inevi
tally affect the monetary condition o
Europe, and especially of this country

period nearly 100000 of silver wa'

forward an army of twenty thousane
troops, which she may soon have 4
double, and is preparing to rendezvou
