Upon the opening of tho Criminal Conrt yes- tordny moming, from tho prosonco of Mesars, Swets, Storrs, Barnum, R. K. Turnor, and How- ard A. Turnor, it was evident that something wan about to bo added to tho history of tho grent forgery trinl which iad occupied the Conrt for tbo past two weeks, It was known that an attempt had beon mada to orrest Howard A. Turuor the oveniug previous, but without suc- coen, and whilo his npponranco in Court, for tho first timo, was the reault of an undosstand- ing botweon the authoritios and Sir. Bwett, o great denl of apcculation was indulgod in a4 to tho real meaning of bis prosence, and the probablo futuro movomonts io tho caso. Mr. Sxetd was tho st to gratily tho curiosity of tha spoctatora by making & motion that tho balof the defondant be discharged, and tho trial on the fonr indictmeute, two azainst R. K. Turnor, and two agsinst R, K. and Howard A. Turnor, bo postponed until the civil svits In ajectmont ponding were diaposed of. Ha auded to tho presonco of Iloward A. Turner in court, and sdmitted that ho had advised him to koep out of tho way. Ho mamtained that it would bo unjast to forco Larner to s sccond trial until tho civil causo was setslod, ns he belioved tho facts that would bo elicited io the cloctment suits would have a matcrial offect in the crimn- inal procoedings, By discharging tho bail, os asked, the Court would assnmeo no risks, ny the Turnors could not afford to escapo a trial, 1t op- portanity wore afforded them. Mr, Barnum regarded the motion rather andn- cious, especially rinco the result of the lato trial ointed wo clearly to a conviction 1o tho nuxt. t. K. Turnor _had” boen unable to establish his iunocenco, aud his brother liad not darod to ap- pear for tria), theas boiog circumatances faking the motion ptopostorous. The civil suits had na connection whataver with the eriminal proceed- ings, and whon disposed of could not posaibly do the Turners any good. Tho defendants held that Hill's title to the Jand in dmpnto was not good, which if they succeedod in’ ostablishiog wonld not affect Tumer's criminality. It was not Hi's titlo that was to be tried, but whothor or not Turner wna guilty of what wus chiarged against Lim in the indictments, Mr. Storrs arguod that tho motion was s proper one, and that tha Court should exerciso it indi- vidual judgment i dispoviog of it. ilo beld that a verdict for Turner in tho ejectmont suits would affoct the eriminal proosdure to such on extont Llial no prosecuting officor wonld there- after have the effrontery to ask a trial on the in- dictments. After further argument, the Court decidod to continuo the criminal proceodinge until tho Feb- ruary term, and to reduce tho bail on the four indlotments from 250,000 to $10,000. The bond was propared at once, the father of the defendant becoming bis suroiy. ik e, WEST SIDE STREET RAILWAY.

Mathows, Not having read the article alinded to, T cannot, of course, Fay suy- thing as to ite ganeral morits or demorits. I can only take the quotations and the criticlsm thero- on for my theme. Preluding by eaying that I have no poreonality to serve, having neither tha honor of Mr. M.'s friendsbip, hardly that of his nequaintanor, 1 may now freoly give iy views. The problem of comprolicuding & youog womau, with hor many aspirations, impuleos, and poenlinritios, 8 not a difiicult thing, provided the * middle-aged” man hias a proper knowledgo of lumself to bogin with ; that his philosophy be anatyticat ; that he butlds on & foundation of lons oxperionco—that best of all guides ; and that fie liverates himself, in toto, from all projudico in criticism. It Is difiicalt, in looking over this aubject, awd in the short space usnally permittod i a newspapor coninunica- tion, to do mora than marely poep for & mwomant atit; but Lagreo in tho argament prosonted by this * Youing Woman,” aud will supplamont it with & for moro idens in ber support. The accomplixhed and honost nusic-maater can do n groat doal, if he will, ln sbaping tho character of thoso youny girls who comoe to hi for instructlon ; for ho teaches—of all ot —that acienco which must draw out and cultivate hio finest nensibilities of hersout, Hnving beon mysell a tonchar for over twonty yoars, and hav- ing had hundreds upon hundreds of young ladies nuder tuition, it in fair to presume Lhat, (f T have been hownest and conseicntions, and earnest in mr ondaavors to mako goud students, my first cara would bo to understand my pupil ; all that was needfut for mo to know to reach hor ntailest. Almighty God has mado natwo beings alilko—neither are two mris alike. This fact bo- cones quickly apparont tosuch a teacher, and ho shapes his words, nctions, and counsrl ne- cordingly. 1t ha arrivos at mataro (I shonld have raid “muddle ") ago {u tho constant teach- ing of this beautiful but juuch-nbused art, and bo of the dispositiun before mentionod, if hio cannot tolve tho problom of how to read & young waman, who can? This holds good nat alono in music, but with teachors in her other studies. I deny, furdhor, that lior frivolities unfit her to looi forward to tho future with no higher purno-o than tho obtaming of fine clothes and a busband, It is a fnct. too, and L eall upon the var:ous lrends of mixed ecminaries to tntorno it, swhether the young women are not as clover, ate tantivo, well-bohaved, aud up to the standard of thair studios as thoir m‘\mls of the other wox. 1t n girl likes to be well-dreased, and put her bost foos foromont, how many empty or thick- headed boobies of the othor sex can youfind whosa great and tormenting trouble is to dress their angular aantomics 1n the mont faaltless and re- chercho rtyle,—in fact, perfectly killing! Aro tisy n problom difiicalt to comprehond? Tho sanawer may bo found when you etnck open one of thuss "largo, fat-looking hickory-nuts—n good deal of sholl, but a fraction of meat. Again: o {m“.F ;iirl in u:m{ to undorstand bo- «canso eho naturally looks up to, and relies upon, thoso who are placed in nutbority over her; nnd atill onsior when bor respect mixes with affece tionate esteomn. Ixperioncoed teachors can look back through the long vista of thoir labors, and pick out pumbers of their pupils who wero, to them, as an open book. But young mon are powerfully tticky, The warmnost, purest, and beat feelings of my naturo woll up to tho sur- fuce often whon I bothiok mo of this, that, or tho other of tho many noble, virtuous, and higbespirited gitls whom I have kuown and loved a8 o fathor loves his daughtar. All these looked o tho futnro and were not difiicult to un- derstand. Another view: Music teschers earn o Inrge part of their bread aod butter from tho tuitiun of young girls; and mine is the oxporl- ence no doubtof sll my confreres, that, when thia bridegroown steps in, the music-master stops out. With thoso views, and apart from ita philo- sophical eriticism, 1t doss Baom alike ungenorons aud misplaced for a music-teachor to writo down o class of ambitions, Industrions, and gontle girls in ro **uucering " & manner, It i8 too orac- War, and #macxa strongly of emplicism and a lack'of good judgmovt.

Low, very low, figures aro soniotimey paid to toachors at mixod seminarics, —n faet of which Mr. AL himsalf can bear am- o teatimony.
