From the New York Time*. MUBBEE iN Sllfr YO&K. Wii'E KIIiiEb BY HER HuSBANb, AND ^KE M urderer C onvicted by his S on . ‘—We briefly stated in our City news Mobday, that a frightful assault had been committed by a husband on his wife at their residence, corner twenty- seventh street and First avenue. The name of the family was Neary, and not Geery, as we were then informed. The assault was made Rt a late hour on Friday night, and yesterday we an- houheed the death of the injured wo man at Bellevue Hospital. It will be remembered that the man waS a stone cutter by trade, and that he niade the attack u^on his wife with a large mal let, such as is used by those operatives. Yestereay Coroner Hilton proceeded to' the Bellevue Hospital to hold the iu* quest. The deceased.was the mother Of three children, all of whom are liv ing. and was again enciente^ She had been married’to her husband twenty- two years. It is surmised, that the. murderer was instigated'to, the assault by jealousy, but this was not shown on the inquest. After empannelling a Jury, and view ing the body, which presented a shock ing appearance, the skpll being terribly fractured, the Coroner proceeded to take evidence. The first witness exam ined was . £!^toard Neary, son of .fiie deceased. He said \ I am no\v living with my un cle, Michael Morrison, Ho;2§2 Twent:^ third-street; I have .lived there'sihc.e Friday night; previout: to that time I resided with my parents over .the gro cery-store, comer of Twenty-seventh- street, and First ajenue; my father Thomas Neary, the prisoner now pres ent, was perfectly sober on, Thursday and Friday last ; my mother said little to him on these days;.they did not quarrel or US3 harsh words :• I was. un well and Went to bed about 0 o’clock on Friday evening; before I |ras ^leep my mother went to bed; she slept- in the same room with me,, but in another bed I she left my father in the sitting room, adjoining; abou|> JO J o’clock at night I was awakened by the cries of my sister, who slept in the same bed with me ; my father was “standing by m j mother’s bed. and wa& heating her over the head with a heavy weapon ; the blows Were very loud; I did not hear my mother speak a ryord but shugroan- ed; my father was undressed; the light was out, but I distinctly saw him strike the blows. I could not see the kind of weapon he held in his hand; I raised myself in the bed and cried “ Murder my fath er then came to me and hdd the weap on over my head, and said tO;me, “Lay still, or I’ll murder you tod ;’’ the mal let shown to me is the weapon he beat my mother with; after he made me lay down; he went back, and again struck my mother on the head with the same mallet; she was moarang during this time; he then looked out Of bar- ® room liito“tlie m^iuing room,turned round and remarked that she moaned Very strong, and he had better “ give her some more;” be theft seized her with his left band, pulled her up in the bed in a sitting position, and again struck her on the head' with the .same mallet; he then pulled her o.Ut ol'the bed.on the floor, and gaye her five or six more blows with the mallet; she ihen^moaned faintly; he then let go of, her and exclaiifted, “ I thought, I had killed you before, but I failed, aud now 1 guess you are done for ;” my sister and myself were screaming during this tim e; he then came to my bedside a- gain and said ; “ If you don’t lay down I’ll kill you yetat this time he held the mallet over my head. He then went into the sitting room; at this time there was a rap from the out side, at the sitting room door; the door was locked, and my father exclaimed : “ Who is there ?” I heard some person answer, but I don’t know what was said ; when I heard the assistance com ing, I got out of the bed and jumped out of the window, which is on the door over the store; I then entered the house, and went up to the door of the sitting room; here I found a woman who lives on the same floor; I told her my father had killed my mother, in side ; this woman then went for her husband, and sent him after the Police Officers ; they soon came, and after rapping several times, my father opened the door, and they at once arrested him; my mother was lying on the floor the same as when I jumped out of the win dow ; about three’ or four months ago, my father attempted to kill my, mother with a knife; at that time he had been inking. The other testimony corroborated the main points established by Edward Neary. The Coroner’s Jury rendered the following: VERDICT. “ We findf that deceased came to her death fay injur'es from blow s inflicted by the hands of her husband, Thomas Neary.” l-'pon the rendition of this verdict the culprit was committed to the City Prison ,, and the son was * detained as a witness. The deceased was a native of Ireland, and aged # ) years. DESTEirOTIVS FIRR AT XITTEE F4U .S. For the first time in Several years, a fire occurred in this village between the hours of i I and 12 o’clock on the night of Tuesday, the ItOih inst. It broke out in or near tfte Jivery stable, of James ChurcbiUion th tn o r ^ corner of Albany and Secotid streets, and sobn destroyed the stable and office, besides a portion of the carriage house, and some of its contents; and though thf bpr- ses were got but alive, Mr.'Churchiil’s loss of hay, grain, &c., is,estimated at some $250. ‘ .

A barn in tfie Tear of the above, r§nd owned by Joseph Pratt, was next de stroyed, together^with carriages, har ness and other prpperty, besides four- valuable horses. Mr.Tratt’s whole Ips§ in this and other buildings where he had’an interest, amounts to $150Qj with only $100,0 insured. Tbe fire also destroyed a' barn upofi thej)ri?mises of Hon. A.

D ecision of an I mportant Q ues tion . —The Supreme Court, in session at New York, on Monday, made^ & de cision^ in the case, of. White The Utica Schenectady ■ Rail \Road Co., affirming the order dissolving the in junction, with costs. It will be recoL looted that this injunction was Ranted oh. the application of a stockholder in trie Railroad corporation alluded to, to prevent the company from subscribing to the stock of a Raiirqad in Canada, although authorized to do so by an act of the Legislature a year or two'\'since. The opinion of the Court is, that when* a charter is granted to a'Railroad com pany, with a reservation authorizing the Legislature to* alter, modify or re peal it, in the di.'scretion of the Legisla ture, it may authorize the company to subscribe to the stock of a railroad Company in Canada, which road would connect indirectly with that of the chartered company, and the com. pany may so subscribe, and no stock holder can, by injunction, or otherwise, prevent the subscription. ____ B razilian S lave T rade .— Accord ing to an official report of the Brazilian Government, it appears that the number ' of Africans imported in 1848 amounted to sixty thousand, and in 1849 to fifty- four thousand.

The accounts from Biienos Ayres; by the English steamer, represent that the beleagured government of that city is in a critical situation. .The hc^es that they bad in the raising of.au arufy in the south to march to the aid of Buenos Ayres have been Completely shattered. Begraud did raise an army, but it was composed in®great part of emaficipated Indians.' He was met by Logas, and utterly routed, 200 of his inen being killed and wounded, and himself taken prisoner. In a sally of the Buenos Ayreans, Jan. 21, General PancheyhO/their Com mander-in-chief, was wounded, and his two officers killed. PanCheyho after wards resigned. A-war steamer of Urquiza had ap peared in the waters of La Plata, and captured a war schooner and a pilot boat. Urquiza had also purchased the steamer Uruguay. The Buenos Ayreans had invoked the besiegers to allow them an opportu nity to bury their dead, as they were cut off from the cemetery. Thejrequest was granted. % was said also, at Rio that the fall ing government of Buenos Ayres were about to invoke the mediation of the Emperor of'Brazil,. The British, French and American Commodores had visited Urquiza, but had been uffable to bring about a reconciliation. o - Meat and provisions were very dear at Buenos Ayres, and all supplies of milk and vegetables vyere kept back by the besiegers. The credit of the National Bank was fearfully on the wane, owing, it was said, to the introduction by the enemy of well forged notes. Doubloons ranged from 300 to 807. A private letter from Buenos Ayres says that the demurrege on vessels in port is tremendous, hut some say that they are not liable because the port has been closed most of the time.

It appears that the so called town pf .‘‘an Juan is under the control of persons from all countries—ours among the rest—who have sworn alle giance to the Mosquito King. Our gov ernment does not recognize his red skinned majesty and since the British protectorate has been abandoned, the town reverts to the Nicaraguan gov ernment, under which the American Transit Company have full power by their charter to retain possession of the premises from which they were sought to be arbitrarily ejected. The Cyane was sent there to protect the rights and property of American citizens and Capt. Hollis has done his duty—no more and no less. His course meets the unquali fied approval of General Pierce, and fur ther orders, of a similar tenor to those under which the Cyane has acted, will be forthwith despatched. The President wifi sieze this oppor tunity to put our relations with Central America, so far as the Mosquito King, the British protectorate and the munic ipality of San Juan are concerned, a well defined, explicit and permanent ba sis. The Cyane has made a good be ginning. There is a rumor i'n the city to night, that came by the way of Charleston, that an engagement has taken place off San Juan between the Cyane and an English sloop of war, in which the lat ter was captured after a sharp contest, with serious Joss on both sides. The story is discredited here, as the dates from San Juan, by steamer at New York, are more recent than could have been received at Charleston by any sailing vessel.— Herald. ARRIVAL OF THE EMPIRE CITY- Very late and interesting from Cuba — Arrival and departure of Santa An na—Health of Mr. King. The mail steamship Empire City, Capt. Wiadle, arrived yesterday from New ,Orleans and Havana. She left the latter place at 8 o''clock on th e UiOrning of the 29th ult. The Diario de la Marina of the 29th of March says :—General Don Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, who arrived yesterday, according to our previous announcement, as passenger in the English steamer Avon, has left this evening, in the same vessel, bound for Vera Cruz. His lady, daughter, and a large number of Mexican officials, com prised his suite. Called anew by the almost unanimous vote of the Mexican nation to rule over its destinies, it gives us satisfaction to be able to assure oiir readers with full certainty that Gener al Santa Anna, benefitted by experi ence, feels himself perfectly imbued with a sense of the duties of his high mission, and of the conditions which circumstances require. The question of race, in all its mag nitude, rules in the mind of the future government, and may suggest the ne cessity of a system analoguous to the disposition of our ideas for the purpose of re-organizing the country. A little firmness, in which we have confidence, and the frank operation of those who desire the salvation of thc-ir country, offer the only, and by no means desper ate, medium of successfully passing through the terrible crisis which threat ens Mexico. Vice President King, whose health was very low. intended to leave Cuba about the 6lb jnst., for Mobile, He would proceed in the steam frigate Fulton. Some alterations for his com fort were being made on board the F.

It was but yesterday morning that the remains of Mrs. Fillmore left this city for their final resting place at Buf falo, and last evening they were crossed upon the way by a telegraphic message from Detroit announcing the death of Mrs Cass, the wife of the distinguished Senator from Michigan. General Cass was called home sever al weeks ago from Washington, by a telegraphic summons announcing her dangerous illness. Her death,therefore, is an event not altogether unexpected; but the blow will fall none the less heav ily upon the veteran statesman, whose partner through the most eventful por tion of his eventful life is thus taken away. We sympathize with him in his loss and in the desolation of his house, which time to him can never more sub-, due. Mrs. Cass was a domestic w-oiSan, and has seldom, of late years, left her West* ern home to mingle in the fashionable so ciety at W ashingion. In this respectsho resembled Mrs. Fillmore and Mrs. Clay, who still resides at Asliiend; or per haps, more nearly Mrs. Gen. Taylor, who, even in the White House, main- t^ixicd. in strict seclusion the^uict sim*. . pie habits which had marked the eYCij tenor of her life.
