" fexalia, Dawa, and Conos ‘The whole entitled to debeutura, and chasers Price Two Cents, Clty Inter Eseare vrom raz Crry Prison.—Yesterday, as Justice Matsell was approaching the entrance to the City Prison, on Franklin street, at about half past four in the morning, he perceived a string of blan- kets tora into strips, and tied together, hanging over the roof of the watch house lock up prison, Being satisfied that it had been used to effect the escape of a prisoner he gave the alarm inthe prison, aad on makiug search it wus foand that a man named Wil- liam Joh on, who was tried last week, convicted and sentenced to the State prison for seven years, ona charge of burglary in the second degree, for entering Jacksou’s pawn broker's shop, had escaped from hiscell. Upoa examination it appeared that he bad cut through one end of his bunk with a pen- knife, and then broke it into pieces. With one of the side ends of the bunk, that was shaped like a wedge, he then pried off the cast iron plates cover- ing the ventilator, one of which was cracked in the centre, and then raising the remnant of his bunk re- moved sufficient of the stone work to allow. him to pass through the small aperture. On reaching the aperture he drove a piece of the bunk, about twe feet long, in the outer wall, just above the hole, to which he fastened his rope blanket, and then de- scended, a distance of about 30 feet, into the prison yard. From thence, by the aid of an outhouse, he reached the corridor, which is nearly of an equal heighth with the cell opposite, and then drew the are blanket from its fastening. He then pass- ed round the corridor on the north side, and ascended to the root of the lock up watch house by the aid of 1 wooden ventilator that had been erected for the purpose of carrying off the gas from the furnace below. Thus reaching the roof all he had to do was to fasten his rope blanket to the cor- nice on the outside and descend into the strect and escape. The blame in this case falls entirely upon the watchman who was stationed in the prison yard, as the noise of a black fellow laboring under deliri- um tremens who was confined in the cell under- neath that of Johnson was such during the whole aight, that the movements of Johnson could not have been heard on the inside of | the prison.— We understand that Johnson made kis escape from the Leverett street Prison, in Boston, where he was confined some years since, and there is no doubt, from the evidence of his genius as presented in his exit, that he isan old stager and a burglar whose daysshould end ina State prison. He told a prison- er inthe cell adjoining to him, on Sunday night, by speaking through the water pipes, that “he had a wife and twochildren, and if he did not get out of the prison that night Wey would find hima dead man in the morning.” His manner of escape was the same as that contemplated by Monroe Edwards when he was detected. The knowledge of the man- ner of his exit, circulated as it will be immediate- lv throughout the prison, will prompt others to fol- low his track, and unless a strong watch, who should be armed witha loaded musket and bayo- net, be immediately placed in the prison yard at night, we should not be astonished to hear of a genera) jail delivery before the month is out. John- son escaped without any shirt, coat or vest, and he may thus be detected. Inramous Attempt at Conspiracy By a Huspanp to Procure Divorce.—Timothy Meunt, boiler ma- ker, who was recently tried before the Court of Ge- neral Sessions on a charge of attempting to poison his wife, the late widow Mary Hingston, of Beaver street, was arrested on Saturday night by officer A. M. GC. Smith and others, on a charge of conspiracy, in combining with Charles Southwick, to procure a divorce from her by subornation of perjury. The charges, are that Mount has filed a bill of divorce,in which he alleges that Southwick has committed adultery with her, and also that Mount had given a note to Southwick for $50, payable in case he should succeed with the divorce. Charles Farrington, of 58 Houston street, testifiesthat he was present when Mount agreed to give Southwick one hundred dol- lars if he would swear to the truth of the contents of the following paper, which he alleges is in the hand- writing of Southwick “ A Bout the middle of Jan as I was a Walking in Can- non st one evening | met A woman That was verry socia- ble & fermillier & she invited me to go‘home with her & my not knowing onything abeut the lady I excepted the invitation & I cald Occationally afterwards, But I was all the time in Ignorance in regards to her being A married Lady, untill some time the Latter of Feb Icald on her, & she was in her bed room, & she verry Politely invited me in, it about 10 A clock in the evening, & after a littl conversation with her I Paled of my Boots and the Bi Part of ay close & Layed Down on the Bed, & I supose I had ben in bed A } an hour Before I heerd footsteps com- ing up the stairs, & my Lady appeared much confused and Fritend & Requested me to gump & catch my close & Run for she Beleved it was her Husband, & it was the first knoledge of my having that she was A mi d Lady, but to my supprise as I got to the head of the Stairs, A man cought me by the shoulder & I Drooped my Boots, & made good my escape Cc. we” Farrington also testifies that Mount drew up the following note, which he gave to Southwick as part payment of the $100 promised him, which was toand in Southwick’s possession when he was ar- rested by officer A. M. C. Smith :— “ New Yorx, Aperill 24th, 1943. “ ninty Days after Date I promosto pay to my one order fifty Dollars providing I get a Bill of Biv ys against my Wife to the Barer of this. $50. TIMOTHY MOUNT.” Cuartes R. Broomer, of 35 Houston street, testi- fied that he was preseat when Timothy Mount re- quested Southwick to draw up the paper given above, and also admitted, in his presence, that he was to give Southwick $100 if he succeeded in get- ting a bill of divorce {rom his wife. Also, that at the request of Mount, he, Bloomer, conducted Southwick to the house where Mrs. Mount lived, on Sunday morning, in order, as Mount said, to en- able Bouthwiek to describe the premises when he should come to be sworn on the trial. A fellow, named Elijah Carman, was also arrested as con- cerned in the conspiracy, but will be used with Far- rington as a witness. Southwick has long been known to the police as almost an outlaw, and his ae- sociations are almost entirely among pickpockets and ves. ‘ fore or tae Suepuerp Ganc Arrgstep.—That old counterfeitress, Eliza Severance, and Jane 0’- Brian, the sister-in-law of Honora Shepherd, now in the State Prison, were arrested on Sunday evening, charged with passing an altered $3 note, purporting to be of the Vernon Bank of this State, on Frederick Miller, grocer, of 320 Water street, in payment for two glasses of liquor, and receiving the change. Also in attempting to pass one of similar character upon Henry Gurgeus, grocer, corner of Water and Dover streets, on the same evening, which was re- fused. The notes proved to be altered from the fraudulent Globe Bank. They were both commit- ted ; and as the scienter will be ay, proved, it 1s to be hoped that the community will be relieved from their depredations tor a time at least Old Mrs. Severance has been known asa dealer in counterfeit money for the past tweuty years, and has managed during the whole time to escape the ends of justice. Gunrna Sesstons.—At the meeting of the ecurt yesterday morning, Emily Tucker, convicted of keeping a house of prostitution at No, 3 Benson st., was brought into court by officer Stephens on a bench warrant, and sentenced to 30 days_ imprison- mentin the city prison and $50 fine. The names of the petit jurors were then called, and the Court adjourned to Wednesday at 11 o’elock. More Counterreits.—A woman entered the gro- cery store of Margaret McArdle on Saturday night, and attempted to pass a spurious $3 note, of the Ci nal Bank of Albany, in payment for some few arti- cles that she had purchased. Mr. J." De Forrest happened to be in the store at the time, and recog- nised the woman as having previously offered the same bill to him a short time previous, which he had refused. She was therefore arrested, nd fully com- mitted at the Upper Police office. Cireult Court, Before Judge Kent. May Sth.—Bowen and M’Namee vs, H. Camp and 0. Terry —One of the defendants resides at Buffalo, aud the other at Marshal, Michigan, The credit of plaintiffs, who are merchai Terry at- terwards came to the city and made representations which induced plaintiffs to take 60 per cent in full for the debt.

Sand.—In the winter of 1841, the sloop Good Intent, (lying at a pier belonging to defendant, in Brooklyn,) was struck by a fleld of floating ice and sunk. She lay at a place interfering with ti ¢ railway of Morgan ona Mersereaz; it became necessary to get her up. @ present is an action of trespass, to re- cover damages for the loss and destruction of the vessel, it being contended that she had been cut to pieces unne- cessariiy by defendant, her mast chopped away, and the Vesnel destroyed and lost, This was strongly denied by defendant's counsel, Mr. Dana, who asserts that no more mjury was caused than became necessary to raise the vessel.

Boann or Atvenmex, May sth.~Present, Alderman Woodhull, President, in the ok i The Committee of Finance r the lot corner of Water st: cash, to James Nash—Adopted Street Contracts.—The Special Committee, to whom was referred the subject of the manzer of giving out the street contract, presented a report, in which they came to aconclusion that the contract was made in good faith, and therefore have nothing to say relative to the matter. Alderman Purpy said that considerable evidence had been presented to the committee, that had tended to sa- tisty him that a contract could have been made of far more interest tothe public than the one given out, buthe had not had time to prepare it for presentation inthe sha,e of a minority report, and he therefore wished that it might be laid on the table tor the pened Aldermen Uxverwooo and Stewanr sustained the views of the committee and Alderman Leonard opposed it. This battle having been fought over and over a do- zen times, and no original ideas having been introduced, a report is unnecessary. ‘The motion to withdraw was withdrawn, and the re- port was then adopted by a vote of six to eight; Alderman is declining to vote, and Aldermaa Bonnell absent. Gravelling 10th Avenue—A resolution to gravel 10th avenue, from Bloomingdale road to 146th street, was adopted. ‘Also, to repave Washington street, from Morris street to Battery Place. Adopted Milk Market.—Alderman Joes asked to take up the veto of the Mayor relative to the occupancy of the house onthe sqanre foot of Duane street as a milk market. The Mayor states in his veto, that the reasons prompting him to refuse the lease of the property, are, that it was given to the city by the Trinity Church, for market purposes alone, and therefore could not be appropriated for private purposes. ‘Alderman Jones said that Mr. Selleck, the applicant, had a lease of the building for one year, and the reason he desired a lease for three years, Was to justiry him in adding to the building an ice house, in order to keep the Orange county milk cool and sweet during the summer. Alderman Unpeawoop said that he conceived that Mr. Selleck was a public benefactor in this business; that he had introduced the Orange county milk into this city, and thereby had reduced the price of milk from 6 to 4 cents a mart. (Alderman Punpy said the only question was, whether the Common Council had the power to lease it for the present purpose or not. Alderman Jonss said he concurred with the Mayor that this property shoula be used for market purposes alone, and he believed that the of it as amarket forthe sale of milk, butter and cheese, brou; the lease within the intention of the trustces of the Trinity Church when they gave the property to the city.

Flynn vs. George Barclay and Simon (Sherif) Springing a Wi if th an action of trover, the conversion by the defendant t belonging to the plaintiff: It was a very curious case, and peculiarly illustrates the value of matrimony, an the worth of a wife in protecting a man’s property. This isa casein which a poor tenant sprung a wife upon an in- nocent landlord, very much unawares, and to the very grent advantage of the said tenant. It appears from the evidence, that Mr. Flynn, an unmarried young man, rent- ed sundry rooms and apartments up in 2ist street, of a Mr. Barclay, at $15 per month, payable in advance; cemmen- cing in June, 1841. ‘Time ran along till this present month, and some $200 rent had accrued. Mr. Barclay is. sues a landlord’s warrant for the amount, and takes acer. tain horse belonging to the plaintiff, which is sold for $40. The plaintiff brings the present action of trover, on the ground that the horse was exempt from execution under the new $150 law. To take the benefit of this law, mon. must be a householder, or a man of family, and not pos sess over $150 worth of property—and in this present case the plaintiff must have been the owner of a “team,” for so the statute reads—"“necessary tools, team,” kc. As fo the matter of “family,” it appears that young Mr, Flynn taking advantage of one of our natural and inalien- able rights, Which are not interfered with by any civil law or constitution, and without consultiug hie landlord, Mr. Barclay, committed matrimony about four or five months ago. This act at once cstabliehed him a gentle- man and amen of honor, and especially a “man of fami- ly” within the meaning of the statute in such cases made and provided. The law, Mr. Flynn’s wife we mean, im- mediately threw around him and his preperty her fair pretecting arms, and the sheriffs warrant, shot from a jawver’s quill, fell harmless at his feet. 'Mr. Barclay looked on with astonishment—he was caught in a snare— @ wife had been sprung upon him unawares—and he was remediless. Asa wife therefore can protect $150 worth of property, and no more, it may be s: aly considered that the most precise value of a wife, which has ever been es- tablished by law is ¢1 There was another very im) which must not be omitted. The statute protects a man’s team. And Mr. Benedict, the learned counsel tor the defence, denied that one horse and cart was a team— In proof of which he quoted any number of authorities to the no small amusement of the Court and Jury, for they were authorities not often quoted, to establish the ls w be- fore aCourt—such as Piers, Ploughman, Fabyan,Hollond , Spencer, Chapman, Homer, Beaumont, and Fletcher, Vir- gil, Dryden, Cowper, Gay, and we believe Hudibras. By some of these authorities it was proved that a litter of pigs (democratically considered) was a team—a whole team, we suppose, and may be regarded as going the whole-litter. By other authorities it was proved that there might be a “eam of ducks,” and so on. Cowper has the word thus There from the sunburnt hayfield homeward creeps The loaded wain; while, lightened of its charge, ‘The wain that meets it passes swiftly by; ¢ boorisu driver leaning o’er his team nd impatient of delay. ort Mr. Benedict considered that according te all jes he was safe in pronouncing that one korse and cart was not a team. On the other side, Mr. Dewrtt contended that it was capable of mathematical demonstration that the whole ‘was equal to all its parts, and that the greater must neces- sarily include the less. It was admitted that two horses and a cart were a team, and were exempt by the statute —one horse and cart must be half ateam, and a fortiori exempt. He also contended that it was the intent, by the spirit of the law,to exempt the means by which a poor man gets his living; and he gave it as his opinion that @ landlord’s claim for rent was no better or greater than a beker’s for a loaf of bread. rtant point in the defence Jupar Incuss delivered a very learned charge, in which he went into the subject legally, philologically, lixicographieally, etymologically, arithmetically, gram- matically, financially, an itrimonially. Whether litter of pigs could be democratically considered as a team, the Judge did not say; but he was clearly of opinion that a horse and cart was a t within the meaning of the statute, although he was equally well assured that so far aw the usage ofthe word team was concerned, all the old English authorities used the word in @ plural sense, (No case had been cited in which a single pig, al- though he might be democruticaily right,” had ever ‘been regarded as a whole team. It is impossible for one pig to go the whole-lite.] From the phraseology of the law, the Judge supposed that it must have been drawn by some country member of the | ture—and ifsuch member had been asked if he meant the word team to protect a cartman’s one horse and cart, he had no doubt but that he would have replied in the affirmative. The law means any laboring animal, and intends to pro- tect the poor man. He also decided that any man was a householder who rents the upper part of a house, even though his apartments do not touch the ground. Verdict for plaintiff, $66 damages. Mr. Benedict for defendant.
