THE VEL VERTDN lyACE

Maj. YeveIton looks every inch rone. neitbe
| ugly nor handsome, but with face, the aspect O
which is, simply unpleasant, dubious disapreeable
His head is bald on the back OF the crown alone
lie wears moustache and flowing wbiskers of red
dish ialr nue. lie seemed very nervous and agita
ted, like man who found himself sin for'' th
worst that could befall him, but resolved to g
through 1T at all hazards. His manner of an
swerlng the questions very remarkable. H,
generally paused good while, as if weighing
every possible bearing effect of bis answer, anG
shaping it accordingly, like chess-player calcua-
ting before he made his move. His mode of nro
nuncaton was that so often given in Punch as the
language of "sweIs." The indignnatioir court
while he was giving his evidence was really indie.
scrl6able but it was when he cody detailed his d
rectionS to Mrs. Yelverton about "eettipn rid of
the infant that it reached its height
Indeed, so much was it apprehended that. with
out waiting to catch him outside, the indignant AL
dtors would set upon in the court itself, that after
declaring the adjournment, the Chief Justice re-
malned on the bench until he saw the court cleared
OF the crowd that had stayed behind in very mem
acing bearing towards Yelverton. An immense
concourSe awaited him outside, openly avowinp an
intention of making him acquainted with the Lif.
ley, running close by. In consequence of this nu-
merous ingenious devices resorted to in order
to get him away safely. 1t is said, and believe
with truth, that the War Office has intimated its
Intention, as the present trial is over
to arraign Major Yelverton before a court martial
for ''conduct unbecominr an officer and a 1entIn-
man" 1t is said that his own evidence to tha o r
1ect that he freqnented visitor the house of,
superior officer Gen. Straubenzee) in pursuance
OF the design OF seduciDg the friend and guest of
that officer, will be laid as one OF the exact often
ces in the indictment.
Mrs. Ielverton is probably in her 18th year. She
is under the middle height and of fair complexion
She was pale, very pale, evidently impressed if not
agitated by the circumstances Of the OCCASION time
and place. Subsequently, when slightly flushed
with the excitement, or possibly with the heat of
the Court, her face assumed the semblance of what
1t 1t doubtless was in days passed by, when it wore
the charms that attracted the despoer's gaze -
Beautiful she was then indeed Not that her fea-
lures, when examined one by one, would be pro-
nounced regular or beautiful. There was a matron-
ly, grave, thoughtful, sorrowtul expression over
all, that | am utterly unable to describe and this
it was that first struck and impressed the behoder
Grlef-gref that may not be measured, had left its
traces there. There sadness in the first tones
OF her voice, and she threw quick glance all
around, in a halftroubled, apprehensive inouirnr
anxiety, as II she wanted to be sure that she was
indeed amidst the friendly hearts fame had ALWAYS
told her were ever to be found in Ireland by the
children OF sorrow and misfortune. Hope spoke to
the troubled soul that had so long lain in anguish
and thencetorth she seemed to acquire strength
none would have looked for in such fragile frame
The countenance is oval, with delicateiv pointed
chin; the general expression of the face is most
decidedly that of great tirmness, calm, resolute,
perseverlng, dlgnihed power-conidence in rep0se
1t is the eye that lights up and makes beautiful the
whole countenance, which, in fact is one of those
which has its beauty and attraction more in express
sion, the seat of which can never be accurately
nxea, than In mere symmetry and regularity of the
individual features themselves Her,glance meme
trates, while it charms as with a spell She has a
profusion of rich glossy auburn hair, which was
worn a la EUgenie. Her hand, the smallness of
which has been necessarily alluded to in the evi-
dence, is indeed one which your fair readers would
admire. Nine. Y elverton attred, on the first
day, in light-coored fashionable bonnet and
wore black moire antique dress On the follow
ing day the news had reached her of the death OF
Mr.. Bellamy, her brother-in-law and, accordinpIy
she appeared subsequently in mourning. So tar
tor her personal appearance; but how shall de-
scribe what constitutes the greatest charm about
her The perfection of graceful motion in the
simplest movement and the voice-such a voice =
clear, soft, liquid, and musical. Brewster was
child in her hands. In the very first sentence ex.
changed between them their relative positions were
liked, and the ascendancy was hers. At the yery
start she completely took up her position: without
effort or attempt, but somehow simply, because it
was her rightful position; one which exacted the
most respectful and deferential demeanor from even
her antagonist.
THE LAST OF THE LINCOLN FRIGHT.
The following is the reply of Superintendent
Kennedy, of New York, to the Chairman of the
Committee of the Legislature, appointed for the
purpose of investigating his late operations in the
South:
NEW ! oRk, March u, 1861.
Board Of metropolitan Police:
Gentlemen:-Absence from the city and an ex-
cess OF duty while here has prevented me from
making an earlier reply to yours of the llth inst
About the latter part of December last appear
ances indicated possible extensive breach of the
peace In this city, and from newspaper articles and
other evidences of public apprehension, it became
necessary to acquire such information as would
enable the department to be in readiness to sue
cessully suppress an outbreak, should any such
Members of the force who would be most Hkelv
to acquire information in regard to such move
ments were directed to give the subject their at
tentlon. About the same time information was
received from private parties, whose names it
would be violation ofconfdence to disclose, that
extensive arrangements were apprchended for dis
ruptlng the government, and that it was presumed
to extend to parties belonging to the city of New
1nrK. Under these circumstances it was deemed
advisable to take the usual course, and send few
men to proper points for observation
Nothing was obtained to implicate any resident
OF the State OF New ork in any apprehended move
ment; nor mas any information been received on
which any judicial proceedings could DE based
Communications in police establishment are ne
cessarily of confidential character and in this case
they have been especially so. To make these pub
nc would be to degrade the officers of the force to
ipjure the usefulness of the department, and pre-
vent 1T hereafter from being conided in as a safe
depository for we'll grounded suspicion
nave, therefore, only to say in further reply
lhdh uetalieu Two detectives Tor observation at
Washington, Jon January lst and they remained uu-
til about the 7th of February when all apprehension
OF connection for evil with parties in New York
had nearly subsided there, and they were called
back.
On the Sd of January an additional man was sent
to Washington, who remained until about the 10th
and returned home.
On the oath of January one man was sent to Bal
timore, who remained until the 4th of March
About the 10th of February two additional men
yyhn aH ~
the 18th of February, when they returned. On
the 9th OF February the two men who had been
in Washington were sent back again, and they re-
manned until the 5th of March. Very respectfully
yours, &C., JOHN A. KENNEDY, Superintendent
CRY PAoIFIED BY PoLTICAL EXCITEMENT
The New Orleans Picay,ne says there has not been
single murder iu that city for month, while
other deeds of violence singularly scarce. The
editor attributes this to the absorbing political
citement, which causes men to overlook or forget
personal resentments and quarres, and perhaps,
also, Fate too busy with the wholesale disposal of
