Pxrivare axp Pusric Morais oF pucrors.—We cannot comply with the request of our correspondent, nor descend to any notice of the Tecent abominabie and brutal immoralities of cer- tain persons connected with the newspaper press. We know the community is shocked—we know the community is thunderstruck, but we cannot stoop to any notice. This much we believe firmly—the half of these shocking immoralities are not yet de- veloped. Time will disclose every thing—and jus- tice be done to all. In the mean time, we cannot forbear calling the attention of the President of the United States to these awful disclosures, revealing the character of the men and papers that were brought to his support by M M. Noah,a candidate for any office, and now the organ of the post office ot New York. What does Mr. Tyler now think of his friends and ad- visers in this latitude.? These awful disclosures are only beginning. PourricaL Movemen'ts.—There is something pe- culiarly fascinating in the first gush of joy from the heart gladdened by a singularly fortunate event.— Tt 1s like the earliest breath of spring—like the graceful capriole of a noble steed—like the change- ful hue that tinges the cheek of blushing sixteen; in which latter simile we use poetical license, and take for granted that blushing has not yet altogether gone out of fashion. With all this bounding elasti city ot feeling Captain Bob Tyler has written an epistle to Ex-Alderman Towle, and in the one em phatic sentence—‘ We have got clear of Mr Webster at last””—he has given such expression to overflow- ing joy, asa poet well might envy. A similar fee!- ing animates the souls of the Noah groundlings in this city. Major Noah 1s visiting every nook and corner of the city, hunting up all the old rogues and old democrats—terms of synonymous import in his vocabulary—that he can get hold of, and soliciting their aid in advancing his claims to the office of Charge d’ Affaires at Constantinople. Already he has promised the office of dragoman to a dozen fel- lows of all nations, tongues and creeds—Jews, Chris- tians, heathens,’and nothingarians. But surely all this is labor lost. A military or naval man—a gen- tleman and a Christian —should be sent to Constan. tinople. Not certainly a chap like Noah, whose character, history, polities, every thing, are totally subversive of all respect, and could only bring dis- grace on the nation. Mr. James Kelly is alao in the field, getting every one by the button, and working night and day to get the appointment of Marshall for this district A meeting under his auspices was, we understand, got up last night, some where in the third ward, for the purpose of passing resolutions congratulating the President on the removal of the great obstacle to his receiving the embraces of the democratic party. A very funny meeting, by the bye, was held in the Second ward the other night. [t was Van Buren for one quarter of an hour—Calhoun for twelve mi- nutes—confusion for an indefinite time—and finally ended in pure Tylerism, and abuse of the Navy Agent in this city. We know the name of the gen- tleman in this ward who is applying for the office now held by Mr. Wetmore. More fun ahead. Edward Curtis 18 also all alive. He is very busy brushing up his democratic principles. Whether he has got rags enough of that!sort in his bag to cover him decently, we do not know. But at all events, he makes a capital Collector. John Lorimer Graham is of course exceedingly busy in attending to the health of his democracy. Delicate nursing often does! wonders for patients, even when in a ticklish condition. Then it is all over. Democraticfprinciples are decidedly on the rise. Every little groggery has its knot of politi- cians, hard at work, brushing up’their “* democratic principles,” so that every thing! may be bright, pat- riotic, and republican, to the back bone. Van Buren Movements.—The old men’s general committee of Tammany Hall, met last evening, and passed resolutions in favor of the recent legis- lative nomination of Mr. Van Buren, and the No- vemper Convention. We learn that the young men’s committee will soon meet and do the same thing. Yet it is now generally believed that the State Convention, to meet next September, will de~ clare in favor of the National Convention of May, 1844. Mr. Van Buren begins to feel his oats in Kinder- hook—he is waxing very] strong, and sure of the nomination. It is supposed here that Mr. Calhoun has dished himself by his Indiana letter. We'll see. Wess anp THE Bonnet Trape.—We perceive that the ‘Courier & Enquirer’ continues to throw out aspersions on the great rival of Webb in the Amazone bonnet trade, whois no otherthan John Burton, 924 Bowery. Webb calls honest John a “ foreigner,” and insin- uates that his beautiful bonnets are too cheap and “spurious.” Webb no doubt wants to monopclize the bonnet trade entirely, and by putting them up at ahigh price, confine the use of the article among the families of the Wall street financiers. John Burton, 92} Bowery,has however, brought up the use of the Amazone and made it accessible to every beautiful girl in the Bowery, who appear to be parti cularly fond of the Amazone bonnet, and who now wear them all over. For this generous and liberal conduct, it is not fair in Webb to abuse the man— slander his name—libel his bonnets, and injure his calling. This world is certainly wide enough for both Webb and Burton to bustle in the bonnet business. And if Webb continues these attacks on Burton's bonnets, we would advise the latter to bring an ac- tion of libel against his rival at once. He has a better cause of action against him than Fennimore Cooper ever had. Removats in THE Custom Hovse.—We under- stand that since Mr. Curtis returned from Washing- ton, he has removed fifteen or twenty whig officers in the Custom House, and appointed so many de- mecrats. The Wall gtreet press will not say any thing abeut it, because they are well fed secretly by the printing jobs The ‘‘ Courier” office, the “ Ex- press” office, and several others of that ilk do a large portion of the Custom House printing. This is one of the most capital jokes in politics that we ever heard of. The way that Captain Ty- ler is duped on all sides isreally excruciating. Here are his principal officials actually feeding the very papers that abuse him and his cabinet like pick- pockts. Sreamsuip Hipernia probably arrived at Boston yesterday. She was then fully due. We shall re. ceive her news} this morning and issue an Extra He. rald containing it immediately after its arrival Vinoinia Exection.—Notwithstanding the whiz gain, the democrats will have a majority of Con- Gressmen, State Senators, and delegates. So far as known there have been eight democrats, two wigs, and one Tylerite elected te Congress; the democrats have secured a majority of six in the State Senate ; and the whigs have gained geven in the House of Delegates. They must gain ten more to secure @ majority in that branch of the legisla- ture Tur First Satmon.—Pattinson, corner;of Ann and Nassau streets, opens this day, with the first fresh salmon, from Kennebec. Lick y mands wt lips, ye gour Tus New Boaxp or Broxgrs.—There is an old song which commences with an exhortation more remarkable for its pith than its elegance, and is supposed to be addressed by a pairof youthful lo- vers at the domestic hearth, tothe respectable se- niors, whose presence isnot deemed absolutely ne- cessary. It recommends the “fold folks” to retire quietly to their chamberfor "the remainder of the night, and hints in a very undisguised manner, that if they do not, a certain personage, who shall be nameless, may enter the heads of the juveniles. It would seem that some such sort of a recommenda- tion was now addressed to the old board of brekers in this city, by the young brood who have resolved to look after such pickings in Wall street as the pre- siding deity of that most productive_of barnyards may cast in their way. The new board of brokers is indeed ‘a good deal ofa curiosity. Its members may not,be so rich a8 the old ones, but they are more wide awake. They may not have been so fortunate, but they are equal- ly sagacious. They may not havefso much charac- ter, but Wall street “ is all before them,” wherein to manufacture it, and with the genius of the place as their “guide,” and theirown keen young apti- tude for his pupilage, it will go hard with them if they do not soon earn a reputation as ‘unequivocal, as distinguished, and as serviceable as that of their venerable seniors. Indeed, they have already fur- nished highly respectable evidence of their abilities. They have made several happy hits, and given sa- tisfactory assurauce of soon making many more.— Never a doubt but they will make fortunes, and mar them too, as well as the oldest and most suc- cessful of the children of Mammon. It is certalnly a very remarkable coincidence that the master spirit of this new movement amongst the money changers, should be the immediate de- scendant and namesake of that great genius who first set the financial machinery of the Union in motion. It was Alexander Hamilton who first breathed life into the national financial machine ; and now, after a ‘‘seven years” revolution in finance, like the *jseven years war” of another day, another Alexander Hamilton comes into the field, and commences a movement in Wall street which promises to produce a train of very important and interesting events. This is at least singular — We are not, we believe, much addicted to super- stition. We gazed on the comet without serious alarm. Signs in'the heavens never had great terror forus. But a coincidence such as we have just painted out, is not without great interest in our eyes. It must mean something. Let the wise men inter- pretit as they may, we do believe that it bodes something. : We shall watch, with all the interest which the spectacle naturally excites, the struggle between the old and new boards of brokers. It is funny tosee how the experience of age contends with mettle- some youth—how the practised sinner bears him- self in the lists with the neophite—how the cunning of years struggles with the daring of the aspirant who has every thing to gain and nothing to lose. Musicat.—Mr. Brough, the vocalist, is now staying at the Astor House. This gentleman, so long the favorite of the musical public, and who with Mr. and Mrs. Wood, is so asso- ciated with delightful reminiscences of all that’s beautiful in the musical world, intends ‘‘ setting up his tent amongst us.” As Mr. Brough has quitted the stage and is now engaged in other pursuits, his friends, who are legion, are anxious once more to heara voice whose tones convey such vleasing as- sociations. We understand Miss Adelaide Kemble, with whom Mr. Brough has been asseciated in the opera in England, (after Mr. and Mrs. Wood's retirement,) expressed a high opinion of his opera- tic talents ; and although she has herself set the ex- ample of retirement, regretted his quitting a profes- sion which hetadorned by his acquirements in pub- lic and respectability in private life. At the St. George’s dinner, Mr. Brough de- lighted every one by the introduction of some new ballads of thrilling interest, and which have not before been heard here. We understand a party of his friends met at the Astor last evening, to arrange with him to give a concert some time next week. The sooner the better. We insure him the largest attendance of thej season. Where will it be given ?—Niblo’s, Apollo,{City Hotel,tor the As- tor? Signor Naceu‘fgives his grandjfarewell concert on Friday evening. This distinguished artist has been sojourning in the country about a year, and has met with the warmest reception and enthusiasm wherever he goes. On the violin he is probably without a rival. We have no doubt his concert will be crowded with the elite of taste and fashion. Tueatricais.—A good deal of interest has been excited in the theatrical circles, by the announce ment of the appearance on the Park boards next week, of Mr. Harry P. Grattan, a gentleman long and favorably known asa contributer to the Lon- don magazines, and a tragedian of great and ac- knowledged merit. Mr. Grattan has arrived int! city by the Ashburton, with the design of making the tour of the States, for the purpose of making himself acquainted with the varied scenery of our country, our institutions, and the state ef society in the new world ; and also with the view of playing for a few nights at some of the principal theatres — In Hamlet, Shylock, and other Shaksperian charac- ters, Mr. Grattan has established in England a very enviable reputation. He is a man of finished edu- cation, fine taste, prepossessing personal appearance, and very considerable professional experience. He will make his debut at the Park in the character of Hamlet, and we have no doubt from the nigh testi- monials which he brings, that he will meet that fa- vorable reception which a high order of dram talent never fails to comman Park Tuearre—Ristey aNd HIS ELSSLERIAN Boy.—There was a very full house at the Park last night. One of the chief attractious, it we may Judge trom the applause bestowed, was Prof. Risley and hisboy. We call him the Eleslerian boy, be- cause he hasa certain inimitably fascinating smile ‘and manner, anda peculiar naivete, together with a very high degree of polish in all his movements, which were so peculiar to Elssler. A beautiful gar- land, and a rich bouquetof flowers, were thrown to him last evening upon the stage of the Park theatre, and it was worth the price of a ticket to witness the exquisite prettiness with which the little fellow picked them up and acknowledged the honor. The somerset, in which he alights upon his father’s fect, is a brilliant performance, and we believe never be- fore attempted in thiscity. The frat of his dodging the Guadaloupe earthquake is by no means the most remarkable of his feats. Mr. Hackett’s Jack Falstaff was very well receiv- ed. Little Mrs. Hunt, as§Mrs. Page, was spirited and correct. Julia Turnbull danced Cachucha with great grace, and received a full share of well-deserved applause. Mr. Hackett appears again to-night. feseor Risley and his son. So do Pro- & D. Appleton & Co. publish this morning The Daughters of England, their pesition in society, character and responsibilities, by Mrs. The publishers have wisely determined to bring out all the works of Mrs. Ellis in the same cheap and eler gant form as The Wives of England, published a few days since.

Most Awfal Murders in New-Jersey—Four Persons Butchered—$1300 Reward fer the Murderers—First Fruits of the Mercer ‘Trial, Two men, on express, arrived yesterday from New Jersey, bringing the horrid news that four per- sons were butchered in cold blood on Monday night last, at a place called Change-water, in War- ren county, N. J., to wit: John B. Parke, John Castner, Maria Cartner, and a child. Governor Pennington has offered the largest reward allowed by the laws of New Jersey, for the detection of the murderers, namely, $300; and David Parke, and Abraham Castner have also offered, in addition, the sum of $1000, making $1300 in all. We have seen a private letter of Governor Pen- nington to Mayor Morris, in which he communi- cates the above facts, and asks aid of our city au- thorities in detecting the murderers. We cut the following from yesterday’s American, which, with what we have above stated, makes all the information we now have on the subject, unless it be aflying report that suspicion had fallen upon an Englishman, who had been seen riding about in that neighborhood onjhorseback. POSTSCRIPT. Awrut Murpers 1n New Jersey—$1000 Re- warp For THE MurpERES—A whole family was murdered, men, women, and children, on Monday last, near Port Colden, Warren county, New Jersey, with every circumstance of deliberate barbarity. Mr. John B. Parke, an aged m: who for years has had the mania of converting all his property into specie, and the folly of boasting of the amount thus accumulated, lived on his farm—a bach¢lor—having in his house his brother-in-law, John Cartner, who worked his farm—his wife and four children—to- gether with a servant woman. Yesterday morning the neighbors were thrown into consternation by hearing that all these persons except the maid servant, who was aot at home the preceding night, were murdered. On reaching the spot the most dreadful spectacle was presented. Car'ner, who appears to have been decoyed out of the house, was found partially thrown into a lime kiln, his hea piece Westen to frag. ments with a rail, which was picked up close by with all the horrid marks of the use that had been made of it. _On entering the house, Mr. Parke was found in his bed dead, with his throat cut from ear to ear. His sister, Mrs. Cartner, and the infant at her side; in like manner murdered, and a little son of four or five years old, stabbed in several places—and only not dead. ; There were two other children, but they slept in a distant part of the house—unknown, probably, te the murderers, and most fortunately, they were not awakened by the deeds of hell perpetrating below, and therefore gave no indication ot their presence, and only knew they were ornhans when going in the morning to receive their mother’s accustomed KISS The house was rifled completely—but what amount of plunder was obtained, no one could yet conjecture. : Rat. ‘he news spread rapidly, the country is raised, and handbills are already circulating in all direc- tions, gaara, in the name of the surviving rela- pies $1000 for the arrest and conviction of the mur- erers. Plunder, undoubtedly, wae the motive, and uni- versal opinion ascribed the horrid deeds to strangers who must have come from a distance. WAs there must have been twoer'three concerned, the hope seems reasonable that a clue will be found and due punishment be awarded to this unparalleled massacre. Nationa Acapemy or Desian.—We continue our criticisms on the exhibition at the Academy. No. 1. Porrrarr or a Lapy—T. B. Read.—A very charming cabinet picture, conceived and exe. cuted inthe purest spiritof art. We have not the pleasure of an intimate acquaintance with the works of Mr. Read, but judging by this picture, we should think he may compare favorably with the best of his cotemporaries. No. 15. Tue Frurr Tasre—A. B. Engstrom — Mr. Engstrom is a teacher of drawing in Philadel- ee much petted and patronised by the lovers of utch glare and tinsel. We fervently hope that he may in future confine the exhibition of his produc- tions to his own meridian. Fruit pieces at the best serve but as displays of labor and mechanical skill— and when lacking in these qualities are worse than contemptible. We have seen far more creditable specimens of art than this adorning the front of a yankee clock. No. 33. Portrait or a Lapy—H. P. Gray, N. A—A mame Ppicture—full of nature, and handled with great skill. No. 80. Sunset rrom Sine Sinc, looking over Haverstraw Bay—Highlands in the distance—North River—R. Havell.—Mr. §Havell is evidently un- studied in sunset effects. The tone of color in the distance of this picture, if it resembles any aspect of nature, is that of misty morning. The sun tint in the sky appears to have been composed of chrome yellow, a color which glures upon the eye, without carrying any idea of warmth. Claude Lorraine, the great master of sunset effects, employed mild ochres, and gave them value by the pearly grays and purpl of his distance, and the transparency and depths of his foreground shadows. The manipulation of this picture is both original and good—and we regret that it should have been united with so false and un- pleasing a style of color. No. 87. Tig Gamester—E. Rosseau.—We are free to confess, that this picture defies all our efforts to comprehend its meaning or design. From the introduction of variousffastastical personages, we pre- sume it eeey, allegorical. We can conceive that the lady on the foreground has been ungallantly knocked down, and that the gentleman with the pistol, has either shot, or is going to shoot somebody —but all else is to us “confusion worse confounded.” It is possible that the picture may be intended as a burlesque or caricature, but if so, we would suggest to Mr. Rosseau the propriety, in efforts of such a character, of numbering the res, and describing the meaning carefully in the catalogues. No. 40. Portrait or Mrs. Sepa Smrra—C. G, Thompson —A glorious subject, handled in a very clever, artist-like manner. We have no means of judging of the truth of the likeness, but if it be one, Mre Seba Smith’s beauty is worthy of her intellec tuality—and if not, we should not desire a finer ideal of a Sapoho. No. 59. Tas Letrer—G. A. Baker.—A delightful picture; Titian like in its coloring—correctlydrawn, and altogether, sweetly conceiv . 228. Steamboats South America, North Amer- i, Utica, and Rochester, of West Point—J. Prin- gle. We mention this picture, only for the purpose ot earnestly protesting against the admission of pro- ductions of such a class into a public exhibition.— The space of wall which is occupied would have been, if left vacant, if uninteresting not disgusting. Its appearance in the room, destitute as it is of asol- itary point of merit, is an ineult to the public tast . 211. Portrart or a Gentieman— W. Page, N. A.—A truly grand head—we think, unquestionabl ' the finest picture of its class in the exhibition. e do not esteem it extravagant praise to say—that it may rank with the best works of the best modern masters. No. 74. Dor.ct Fan Nrentre—G. W, Flagg, A.—The style of this artist is evidently formed upon a careful study of the old masters. We cannot approve the affectation of endeavoring to give a new picture the appearance of age, as in this case Mr. Flagg has done. Itis, however, a work of decided merit No. 148. Portrarr or Fanny Exssier in her cos- tume of the Cachucha—E. Rosseau. Mr Rosseau again. We tear this gentleman will be dissatistied with our remarks—but in our cspaci- ty of critic, we are bound to record the true impres- sion made upon us by the works under review.— Such a course is imperiously demanded by the high- est interests of the art. We can accord to this gentle- man the praise of industry, he having no less than seven pictures exhibited. But we must assure him, that if he is ambitious of becoming even a respect- able artist, he must endeavor at once to unlearn all [li ideas of art, which are utterly false and ad. “Our River anv Canars.—We learn from the Al- bany Journal of the 2d inst., that some thirty boats, in all, have cleared for the west, since the opening of the canal. The navigation on the first division is uninterrupted, but a letter from Mr. Commission- er Earll, states that his secuon, (that extending west from Franktort,) would not be ready till yes- terday. Last Monday night the Hudson rose nearly 24 inches. The water now covers the pier and wharves in Albany to the depth of five or six feet. This is a great inconvenience to merchants and forwarders. Breacu 1x THE Crenanco Canat.—The Lebanon Reservoir, near Hamilton, gave way last Monday, letting loose a flood of water, that swept every thing before it. This reservoir was one of immense and costly struciure, built for the purpose of collecting water on a summit level of the Chenango Canal. Osweco Canat.—In consequence of the great depth of water, this canal was not in operation last Monday. May Brossows Bunday Snow fell in Philadelphia les Boarp or AtpenMew—Wednesday, May 31.—Present Alderman Woodhull in the Chair. and all the members resent except Alderman Bonnell, who is confined to his use by sickness. Removing Snow and Ice.—A resolution was introduced topay Wm. H. Knapp $100 for removing snow and ice from certain streets in the fourth ward during the past March, under the direction oft he Alderman of that ward. it finally adopted by a vote of 1 3to 3. Leasing Piers.—The Committee of Finance reported in favor of easing the south side of pier toot of C street to steamboat Westchester and sloop Othello, for one year, for $1000 per annum, aud the pier foot of Hubert street to A. Barmore, for $3000 per annum, which was adopted Wooden Pavements.—The Street Committee, to whom was referred tho subject of repaving that portion of Broad- way between Bleecker and Eighth streets, that has been reviously paved with wood, reported in favor of t Joct, and sta ed in their report, that experience had shown in thia experiment that paving in wooden blocks was in no way to be compared to the usual paving by stone, and therelore recommended that the street be paved in the usual way, with the addition of four wheel passage ways of stone blocks for the use of vehicles, to be laid 600 feet above Bleecker street. Adopted. Joint Mretina. This being the first Wednesday in the month, both Boards assembled in joint meeting, to make the appoit.t- ments falling due at this . The minutes were read—during which time the lobbies and galleries were crowded with applicants and expectants, all anxious to hear the tones of the executioner. Firemen Ezpelled.—The joint committee on Fire and Water, reported in favor of expelling F. Auspack, As- sistant Foreman of Engine Company No 33, and Simon Buck, Ross Tuttle, Joseph Frick and Abraham Kipp, for fighting with members of No. 41. ‘The same committee reported in favor of confirming the expulsion of a number of other members for other causes. Resigned.—-The resignation of James W. Pinckney, Deputy Comptroller, was presented and accepted. James Cruikshanks, Assessor of the first ward, present- ed his resignation, which was read. Alderman Batts said it could not be received, as the only result was, tl he refused to be sworn in on Mon day next, under the charter, he must be fined £15 for non- compliance. ‘Alterman Davies said that there was no remedy in the Common Council, butthat Mr. Cruikshanks must serve. ‘The only way that he could possibly get rid of the office, was either to die or move out of the city, when the Mayor could order a new election. The resolution was finally withdrawn. Alderman Bais then offered a resolution appointing Nicholas C. Everett, the present Assistant Justice of the 4th and 6th ward Court, Assistant Justice of the 12th ward, in Le of Isaac Doughty, whose term of office has ex- ured. E Alderman Purpy nominated Henry B. Gowles, formerly maiden Congress from Westchester county, for the same 0 ‘The ballot steod, for Nicholas C. Everett 18; for Henry B. Cowles 12; blanks 2. Mr. Everett was therefore de- clared elected. Joseph K. Taylor, Clerk of the Board of Aldermen, was then nominated as clerk of the 7th, 10th and 13th wards, in place of James T. M. Bleakley, whose term ot office has expired. Carried unanimously. lorace Loofborough, present Mayor's Clerk, was then nominated aa Clerk of the Upper Police, in place of Danl. M. Frye, whose term of office has expired. Alderman Purvy nominated Daniel M. Frye, and Al- derman Lee passed quite a compliment upon his capabil- ities as a cle:k and his excellence as a man. The ballot resulted as follows :— For David M. Frye... ...++ For Horace Loofborough. . David M. Frye was therefore declared re.elected. ‘ Considerable applause followed in the lobbies on the announcement from the President, which was immedi- ately suppressed. James T. M. Bleakley, present clerk of the 7th ward = was then nominated as a Clerk in the Lower Police office. Aldermen Leonann, W: king this new office the cessity for an additional clerk in that office. Alderman Caotivs presented a statement from the Jus- tices of the Lower Police, stating that they had been ma- terially aided im the prosecution of their business by the ratuitous assistance of John Sparks, ayoung man who faves engaged in the office for the past twe years, and therefore asked for some compensation to be made him for his services. Assistant Alderman Warteaman objected because he thought that the Common Counsel, in joint ballot, ought not to create such an office, and fill it, without further know ledgejor information as to its neces: be first presented to a committee of both bo ination and action, and finally passed upon with di ation, before the public money was thrown away by thus creating a new place for a political partizan. A motion to on the table was lost. Alderman Puapy then said that he should protest he passage of a resolution making the appoint- it was illegal and uncalled for. He then present- Mowing protest :— “ We, the undersigned, members of the Common Coun- cil of the city of New York, do respectfully protest against the appointment of an additional clerk to the low- er police office in the city of New York, for the following reasons :— First—Because we hove before us no evidence that such an additional officer is needed by the public interest. Secondly—Because it unnecessarily tendsto increase the public burthens. Thirdly, and more especially—Because by law this Common Council have no power to meke any such ap- pointment. The law conferring the power gives the ap. pointment tothe “ Mayor, Aldermenjand Common§Coun- cil,” and not to this body without the Mayor. New York, May 31, 1843. Elijah F.

Smith, David F. Williams, Robert Martin. John Pettigrew, Alderman Leoxanp moved to refer the whole subject to acommittee, forexamination, which was lost by a vote of ayes 19—nays 14. Alderman Purpy then moved that the protest be enter- ed on the minutes, The Paesipenr stated that the Alderman had mode the protest Pope and the motion to enter on the minutes must foilow after final ection upon the reselution. Assistant Alderman Waterman moved to fix the salary of the office at $400. The Presivenr decided that the motion was out of or- der, as it was a matter of legislation, and the Common Council had ne legislative powers in joint ballot The original resolution was then ado; |, thedemocrats g to vote for or azainst the resolution. J.M. Bleakley was therefore declared elected a Clerk of the Lower Police. William G. Sterling was then nominated as Assistant Justice of the 4th and 6th Wards, in the place ot Nicholas C. Everett, appointed Justice of the 12th ward. Alderman bite nominated Joseph P. Pirsson, of the 6th ward. The ballot stood for Stirling 17; Pirsson 16. And Mr. Stirling was declared elected Thomas Jeremiah, of the 17th ward, a democrat, was then nominated and appointed Receiver of Taxes under the recent law, with a salary of $2,000, which was unant- mous! bf Williamson, the present Compyroller, was then nominated as Deputy Receiver, which was adopted by a vote with but one dissenting voice. ‘The Joint Meeting here adjourned. ant Boarp or Apermen resumed their business at 9 o'clock. A communication was received from the Clerk of the Board, asking the appointment of a committee to examine hisaccounts for the past year, which was adopted, and Alderman Leonard, Purdy, and Woodhull, were ap- ointed. . Ls Aldermau Jonrs presented the following resolution :— Resolved, That the collection of the assessment for grading and repaving of Chapel street, from between Franklin and Leonard to Canal streets, be postponed to the first day of December, 1843, and that the payment of the balance claimed by the contractor for grading and re- i said street, be not paid until said contractor#shall have ast established his right to said balance by due pro- cens of law. Ordered to be printed and refer rad. The ordinance to prevent runners from being em- ployed as assistants to hack and cab drivers was then ta- ken up and adopted. The penalty for violation is $10, to be recovered against any person soliciting passengers, ex- cept he be the owner or driver of the carriage. A resolution to fill in vacant lots between 3ist and 32d streets, and 7th end Sth avenues, was adopted. ‘The Board then adjourned till Friday next at 6 o'clock.

He is a husband and father, greatly respected and needed bs his amiable and afflicted family. Millerism has broken out at Farmington Falls, and is doing a desolating work. Serious {ears are entertained lest several persons will become per- manently crazy. Now, that the 23d of April has passed, we had hoped that revivalists would allow this delusion to die quietly a natural death. But they seem willing to make capital out of any thing. Their morning, noon and evening meals are made out of whole dishes of newly cooked humbugs.— Dr. Ray, superintendent of the hospital, states ina late answer to the enquiries made to him, that five patients have been admitted to the Asylum, the vic- time of the Miller delusion. Eleven victims of Mil- leriam have been admitted to the Massachusetts Lu- natic Asylum.

A Card, Having been arreste? on Thursday evenin| affidavit of James T. Rodgers, of the firm o! Rogers, and Jno. G. George, on the cherge et certain coal contract uniter false pretenc and incorrect and distorted statements ot tho: having appeared in the city newspapers, calcu jure my character asa man of business und rec! I ‘think it proper to make the fellowing brief statements of facts :. A full hearing was had before the Recorder, the com- plainants appearing with their counsel, on the next day after my arrest, and on the evidence presented, I was discharged from arrest, and the complaint dismissed. T have been for the last season tl ent of the North- ampton Bank of Pennsylvania, to for them on com- mission several cargoes of Lehigh ooal, which business T have transacted, I believe, to their satisfaction. From the connection with the Bank, I learnt that it in- tended to forward a large amount of coal to this market during the present season, which coal they were to re- ceive from the Lehigh Company for a balance of monies due by that Company to the Bank. The substance of the contract between the Lehigh Company and the Bank was, that the former would sell the Bank 30,000 tons of coel, delivered at Mauch Chunk éuring the shipping season of 1843, on the Bani’s payin; $1 per ton, in funds at par at Philadelphia, as the coal was delivered, and also passing to their credit on the books of the Bank the amount ef $1 per ton, and also the tolla on the Lehigh Canal. To get the coal, then, to this city would require an advance of $240 on each’ ton of coal, for the cash to be paid the Lehigh Company, and for the tolls and freight. On February last, the Bank, through Mr. Rice, Presi- dent, made a negotiation with Slamm and Rogers, of No. 1} Wall street, and John G. George, by which the Bank agreed that they would ship the coal to their parties here, paying the $1 per tonto the Lehigh Company, and the freight and tollsto Bristol, and allowing Rogers and George acommission to be afterwards fixed upon for sell ing the coal mers and George agreeing to hand over the proceeds of sales to the Bank until September Ist, giving their acceptances to th k for $30,000, fallin; due in various sums in March, April, May, June, July an August. ‘On the 2d of March last, I made a contract with Slamm & Rogers, to sell this coal on cemmission, os it arrived and onan nment of the coal contract, and a depos: ‘of $25,000 of the bills of the bank, which’ they guaran. teed should be at paron the Ist day of M. forthem an advance of $30,000. J then had no reason to think otherwise, as I had contract,) that it was an absolute last on the PI , not seen the id unconditional en- gagement from the Lehigh Co., to deliver 30,000 tons of coal at Bristol and New York, without any qualification or payments whatever. There were no false pretences on my part to Rogei and no false assumptions of wealth. They ki.ew my sit ation, means and business exactly. They knew that it was to others I must look to carry out the contract they had entered inte with me. On finding that the contract I had made with Rogers on the 2d March, could not be executed by them,] entered into another contract with Slamm & Rogers and John G. George, on the 12th April, by which they agreed to re. ceive $20,006; and the agreement for the deposit of secu- rities by them was omitted. The period for the execution of this contract expired on the 18th April, but was verbally kept alive by con- sent of barre? from day to day, until the 20th of April, when { called upon Mr. George, with my parties, who assured them we were willing to deliver the goods or money forthwith, if suitable security were furnished for the delivery of the coal. Between the execution{of the second contract and the 26th of April, I ascertained tomy satisfaction that the bank had failed and made an assign- ment, and was probably in a state of irretrievable embar- rassment. I also ascertained from authentic sources that there were several unsatisfied judgments and notes against James T. Rogers, which made it undesirable to place a large amount of goods or money absolutely in his posses- sion, without some other security than this conditional Lehigh contract, as creditor’s bills had been filed against him, upon which nothing could be obtained. Under these facts, I informed Messrs. Rogers & George that the goods (as was the fact) had teen purchased, but that from the failure of the bank, who had agreed to pay the $1 per ton to the Lehigh Company, andthe tolls and freight, my friends thought it necessary that Rogers should give some collateral security that the coal should be paid forand forwarded to this city, or that the greater pert of the money I had agreed to procure should be de- posited in bank, here to be drawn upon to pay the costs and expenses of forwarding the coal to t! rket. Talso offered Mr. Rogers & Co. if they Id_ take the goods and pay for them—or any loss that might be incur. red, from their purchase—I would cancel my agreement with them and surrender the contract of the Lehigh Co., lett}witn me by the terms of = contract with them. he fact of the purchase of the goods, and my full ahili- ty to comply with my contract provided it coulibe made safe for me to have delivered the goods, or money, can be fully substantiated by the evitence of those merchants who had sold the goode, and by several others privy to my whole negotiation: ‘The allegation that I obtained possession improperly of the Lehigh contract, is disproved by the {ull receipt 1 gave Rogers and Nye ‘The papers were neither interlined nor mutilated in ony way 7.06. in my refusal to surrender the Lehigh contract to them without some compensation for the expontes incur- red, they refusing or bemg unable to give the security demanded, instituted criminal abies ings ngeinst me, palit terminated in my honorable discharge by the Re- corder. On the toregoing statement, which is strictly true, and which I can corroborate by unimpeachable affitavits, f rest forthe vindication oi my good name and business rectitude, which have been so ruthiessly assailed. The suffering caused to myself and my frien’s by theze un- founded charges, spread as they have oven in a distorted and exaggerated shape before this eommunity, can be fully appreciated by all. The object of my assatlants un- doudtedly was tocompel me to surrender the contract, in order that they might accept a more favorable offer they declared they had from ether parties since my contract ‘was entered into.

When the smothered grow Is of disappointed success lurks in the bosom of man, he lores ht of amiability, prostrates himself, and in turbulent ray dies unheeded and unknown. Such is the condi- tion of @ certain boat builder of this city who seexs noto- riety through anonymous communications. The sub- scriber has for years stood upon the contested ground of boat building, and long experience has taught him thet “ Large barks can venturs re, But little barks must keep n hore.” And when men think they can cope with him in su rior boat building they must not talk in parables, but bo ly meet him at his office door, there arrange for the uner- ing test of proof; his challenges are always made ip good faith, bis beats to conquer. Upon this principle he torms his bulwark, jand now for the hundredth time he offers to show the stern of “Troubler” to any boat Crolius ever built or has on hand, for a trophy which will richly repay the experiment.

Wednesday, May 3—6 P. M. A fair business was done at the Stock Board this morn- ing, but prices were heavy. Kentucky 6’s ell §; Govern. ment Loan } percent. Sales of Ohio averaged lower, but closed at the same rates as yesterday ; Illinois 6s rose 1 per cent. There is a good feeling in relation to these bonds. The American Exchange Bank, which is the larg- eat holder, will subscribe to the new loan if they can do #0 under their terme of association—Delaware and Had- fton Canal rose i per cent ; Bank of Commerce Scrip fell 45 New Jersey; Rail Road rose 1} per cent. At the New Board a small business was done at prices generally lower than at the other Board. Most of the leading Banks in Wall street are refusing to loan on “ Ohio” stock, assigning as a rescon, that the spe culators have taken the stock out of the hands of capitsl- nd therefore the least change in the money markct might throw @ large amount of stock on the market «nd there is no saying what might be the reduction from the present rates. Aiter the object of the present “ bolater- ing” is defeated, and the new loan of « million and « half has been returned for payment to the contractors in Ohio, the prices may range 10 to 15 per cent below present quo- tation: naturally as it sold by auction at the Exchange at 50 per cent within 18 months. ‘The operation of the government in redeeming the ‘Treasury Notes for stock is equivalent to the British me-| thod of taking advantage of a temporary abundance of| money to reduce the interest on the debt.

Each of these parties charge the othei with not having the good of the road, and consequently| of the public, in view. The Dykers & Alstyne party con: tend, that under their management the expenses of th: road have heen greatly reduced ; that its debts ave bee extended on favorable terms fiveto eight years ; that thei arrangements to extend the road to White Plaine are com: Plote, and that the money is ready to go on as soon as thei measures shall be mado permanent by the coming eleo: tion.
