smith Eastman,

Considerable excitement was created in
New York, about six weeks since, by the
sudden disappearance Of Smith ]. East
man, Esq, leading business man of New
York, leaving unpaid accounts behind him
TO the amount of from half million 10 8
million of dollars. The Paris correspon-
dence of the New York Herald throws
some light upon the movements of the de-
fsulter. It seems that the excessive use of
opium had impaired EsstmAn's mind, and
that on his arrival in Lyons, a cerebral at
tack induced his friends there to place him
in the lunatic asylum in that city. He
had previously deposited the sum of $l6r-
800 in the hands of NJ. Grestin, whose
guest he had been in Lyons. His case was,
strangely enough, reported to the Paris U.
s. Consulate, as that of an insane and des-
titute American, and thus came to the
knowledge of the agents of Eastmsn's cred
itors, who have recovered from M. Crestin
the money deposited with him. 1t is ex'
pscted that more money will, from East
mans agents, be forwarded 70 the care Of
Crestin, who, under the extraditiOn treaty,
will be removed TO New York

The shore end of the Atlantic cable was
landed and successfully connected with

The knight of Kerry invoked success
on the undertaking, and in conclusion call
ed on Sir Robert Peel, who made an ad-
mirAble speech. Cheers were then given

end Of the cable commenced. The splice
was completed in the most successful man

led the Great Eastern.
A telegram from Valencia, dated oath

the cable took place on Monday afternoon.
The mischief is supposed to exist three

THE JEFr. DAVIS MEETTNG-

NEW YORK, August 8.
Mr.. Robert Brown, who was present st
the JEFF Davis meeting in this city the
other evening, makes affidavit to the fol-
lowing statement Of facts:
Inc meeting was first CON posed of eiti-
zans OF New York, when ct the suggestion
OF some one, several Southern gentlemen
outside were invited inside when the doors
were closed. The object Of the meeting
being to raise funds to pay the expenses OF
defending Davis, acommittee was appoint.
Cd Tor that purpose, consisting of Mayor
Gunther, who was not present, Carlos But
terheld, Theo. Martin, and Mes rs. Douglas
and Clsnc y.
General conversation ensued. Thsy all
sgreed that the Davis trial was the most
important one in the worlds history.
Mr.. Cutler quoted the Declaration of In
dependence to show that the Southern
States had right 10 secede.
Other NeW-YOrkers took the same
ground citing the action and opinions of
citizens of New York and other States
when the Constitution was formed.
Mr.. Livingston then read from several
free State constitutions the expressed right
TO seceede- It was said Davis trial would
be resolution of sentiment everywhere
m favor Of the North It would be proved
on trial that the secession Cause was right
and entitled to thesympathies ofthe world.
Mr. Livingston declared that in twenty
i've years the man who now accuses the
South of committing treason, will be look
ed upon as 3 madnan and fool.
One New Yorker denounced the execu-
ton of Mrs. Surratt IS cool and
MI Martin said that the court had no
legal jurisdiction in the case, and that the
execution was deliberate murder.
I Mr.. Livingston said several Englishmen
had told him that this cruel murder would
send thrill Of horror through Europe,
and the howl thst would be sent back
would cover and terrify the American
Government so that they would be afraid
to bring Davis to trial. He believed the
intention was to keep him lingering in
BIS friencs must keep agitating the mat
ter until the Government. is forced to put
him on trial Mr.. Livingston said The
western soldiers hated negroes, and that
there had lately been killed in cold blood
more than 100. He also said Alabama
would send q solid delegation of
stAuleh and true Southern men
10 Congress- That feeling is universal
South that no id Yankee must be al-
lowed foothold in the South. Mr.. Liv-
ingston informed the meeting that he Wss
on his way to England to raise funds in
behalf of Davis, and he was confident he
would be able to raise the requisite amount.
A New Yorker said the amount could be
raised in New York City.
