He did not carry with him any such certificates of acknowledged proficiency in duplicity, meanness and falsehood, as those recently awarded to one or two tolerably well-known emigrants from our shores. But he bore with him the cordial regards and best wishes of many attached friends; and the leasing consciousness that a life of honorable, un- ph remitting toil—unblemished integrity—and stead- ‘ast adherence to truth and independence of opin- ion, had met a not altogether inappropriate reward, in this occupancy of a position, unequalled in point of importance and itfluence, byjthat of the conduc- tor of any press on this continent. Mr. Bennett visits Europe in pursuance of ar- rangements made a considerable time since, con- nected with the extensive and increased value of the foreign news department of this paper. But this is notthe most important ebject of his journey.— ‘The existing social and political condition of Great Britain, and indeed of the whole of Western Eu- rope, presents numerous subjects of the most excit- ing interest. Every where we canperceive indica- tions of the rapid approach ofa new era in the history of the old world. It is the eve of a mighty revolution. Institutions covered with the hoary honors of antiquity are destined soen to be remodelled or overthrown. The popular voice begins to be heard inthe great political drama. On ll sides, the thoughtful student of the “ signs of the times,” disecvers encouraging omens of the birth- day of a new and better order of thiogs. Enough, to be sure, there is, of agitation and confusion and doubt ; but the believing friend of liberty and the human race well knows that before long, asystem of peace, order and universal freedom will be educ- ed from the present chaos. What more desirable, then, than at such an event- ful epoch, tobe able to lay before the American pub- lic an authentic and impartial record of the character and progress of events in the old world. To the discharge of this important and acceptable task, Mr. Bennett brings powers of no ordinary vigor and ap- titude. Familiarly acquainted, for many years, with the state of parties in Great Britain; observing, with no indiffereat eye, the growing influence of republican America on the institutions of Europe— sifted with a sound, discriminating judgment, warped and biassed by no partialities or precon- ceived opinions, he will be able to lay before the people of this country,a more fair, comprehensive and intelligible statement of the present condition and future prospects of Great Britain, than could be expected from the pen of any other disinterested ob- server at present in this field. The announcement of Mr. Bennett’s visit to Europe, and his intention to communicate to us the results of his observation, has, indeed, already ex- cited a great deal of anxious anticipation in many quarters. This is not surprising. As we have just remarked, there never was a periodin which the affairs of Western Europe created greater interest on thiseide of the Atlantic. The letters of Mr. Bennett will give us the earliest and clearest intelli- gence of all the movements in the European world, and thus satisfy the very reasonabie anxiety of al! who feel interested in these matters. We have only to add at present, that in the early part ofthe coming autumn, Mr. Bennett intends to return to the scene of his successful labor, enter- prise and talent. Movements anv Doincs.—The Hon. T. H. Ben, ton,Hon. J. J. Crittenden,and Hon. Wm. J. Graves- 1 Ky., and Hon. J. P. Phoenix, of New York, ar rived in St. Louis on Friday the 14th inst. The Hon. T.M. T. McKennan declines being a candidate for re-election to Congress. We hear it rumored that Captain Stockton will probably be offered the Secretaryship of the Navy. Judge Carroll of this State, member of Congress elect, from the district recently represented by Francis Granger, is now in this city, at the Astor House. Major General Scott, Captain L. J. Beall, Captain M. G. Freeman, of the Board of Exa- mination ; also, Lieutenants Gilham, Tower, and Blair, Kendrick, Roberts, and Clarke, of the U. 8. Army, have arrived from West Point. Also a ma- jority of the graduates from the first class of cadets at West Point, have arrived. The above all stop at the American Hotel. ‘xg The examination in the case of the Scotch murderess, has, we are informed, been still further postponed to next Wednesday week, instead of next Saturday, as agreed upon by the parties and sanc- tioned by Mr. Commissioner Rapelyea, when the case was before him on Saturday last. Tue Rereat Acrration.—A good deal of feverish anxiety was exhibited at the repeal meeting in Washington Hall last evening, respecting any re- ference by the speakers to Mr. O’Connell’s abolition speech. Each of the orators was asked whether he meunt to allude to it, and received an admonitory hint ef the propriety of observing caution. A “raw” has been decidedly established in this movement Prriance—the Plebeian’s diatribe against the celebration on Bunker Hill. We confess that we were hardly prepared forsuch an exhibition of that accursed spirit of party malevolence and folly, which has so frequently disgraced the party press in this country. If ever there was a national festival— a scene of rejoicing in which the hearte and senti- ments of a whole people mingled in one anthem of hope and triumph, it was that of Bunker Hill. The mau who could dare to treat such an occasion with evity or disdain, d the fate of him, whose inhallowed hands protaned the ark of the covenant. Tux Steers —Nobody of course expects to see clean streets in New York until the millennium dawns upon us. What inexcusable waste of elo- quence it is, to implore the Common Council to ge, rid of the city filth! Friends of cleanliness and the public health, ye may keep your powder dry. Pro@ress op Fouriexism.—Brisbane is lecturing in Philadelphia with success of appropriate small- ness. The papers there give due credit to the Tribwne of this city, for its persevering advocacy of the doctrines of association. ‘Honor to whom honor is due,” is the maxim of just and enlightened puilosophy, and in this instance we have great plea- io adopting it. Through good report and through bad report the Tribune has stuck to Charles Fourier, and to that print his disciples in this coun- try are mainly indebted for their public existence. We may merely add that the creed is worthy of the exponent, and the exponent worthy of the creed. ‘The nineteenth century produces all sorts of vege- tables. sure Cornrerion.—It was & man called the “Rats,” aad aot Cie Regular “ Rat Catcher,” that fought o Staten Isiaad on Sanday last i Avyoruer Rergat Merring.—The seventh large Repeal Meeting was held last night at Washington Hall. In the course of the evening, about $200 were collected in small sums. The Chairman was Charles O'Connor, and the meeting was addressed by Messrs. McKeon, Reece, Barber, &c.; but as the meeting did not commence till9 o’clock, and did not break up till midnight, we are compelled to postpone a full report of their proceedings. AnoTHer REBELLION 1N Canapa.—The leading article in the last Montreal Herald (24th inst.) con- tains startling news of another contemplated rebel- lion in Canada. The article is as follows Oncanization or Axotuern Reneciion.—While the Loyalists are counselled by their rulers to forget and for- give, while the participators in the late rebellions are | raised to the seat of power, and no means left untried to quench the spirit of loyalty in the hearts of tbe British population, anether rebellion is organizing in the midst of us. Startling as the assertion may appear, and well so, when the French Canadians have had favors heaped up" on them at the expense of the more deserving Colo- nists of other origins, it is no less true, We have heard for some time past that bodies. Caval- ty have been maneuvering in the neighborhood of St. Philips every Sunday, mounting and dismounting, charg- ing in squadrons, and going through all the evolutions of regular troops at the word of command. On Sunday last a body of Infantry was seen by some officers of high standing, drilling upon the north bank of the St. Lawrence, some miles below Montreal. Some Were armed with muskets, others with fuses, and man’ had shot belts and powder horns slung across their shoul- ders. They were commanded by one who carried a drawn sword in his hand, which be waved above hia head giving the word of command. The men appeared to be tolerably disciplined, marching and going through their exercise, firing in companies, kc., with great steadi- ness. Meetings are being frequently held in Montreal, which are la gely attended by the French Canadians, and secret societies, having for their object the dismemberment of Canada from the mother country, prevail throughout the French distri Outwardly all seems peace, but mischief is brewin eee tes British Government has been warned, let it eware. Tue Launpry on Sraren Isuanp.—A good deal of excitement has been produced by an expose of the new health regulations adopted by the resident phy- sician of this port. From a variety of communica: tions on the subject which we have received, we select the tollowing, which comes from a very re- spectable source : Aston Hovsr, June 24. James G. Bennett, Esq— Sim: An annonymous correspondent in this day’s Her- ald attempts to shield Dr. Van Hovenburgh, the new health officer, from the public odium justly attached to him for his unnecessary, outrageous, and uncalled-for de- tention of the clothes o! the passengers per Roscius at his wash-house on Staten Island—price one dollar per do- zen. To do this, he attemptsto throw dust in the eyes of the public by adducing a section of the law which has ne more to do with the case in question than chalk has with cheese. ‘The Roscius was not subject to a quarantine of two days; the section quoted by your correspondent applies to vessels trom the West Indies or the Mediterrane- an, but Liverpool, we give your correspondent the benefit of the informatian, is a port of Great Britain, and conse- quently is not subject to the law queted by him. .For the benefit of the Health Officer, deputy or apolo- gist, please publish the section of the I» applicable to the Roscius—Title 11, Art. 1, Sec y veesel inclu: ded in the first class (Viz. vessels 2 foreign port hav- | ing forty or more passenc« h includes the Ros- cius) shall be subject to h of quarantine and other regulations as the | fi lesignate and enjc Hence it will be seen that this detention of e) r. Van Hovenburgh’s wash house, price one ‘ per dozen, is merely an exercise of despotic pow © We again callthe proper authorities to look into matter, assuring them thot if black mail is to be lev- ic in this form upon Europeon passengers for the bene- fit oi the Health Officer an’ ite, 1 for one shall come to New York by another rou We see by the Post t H to the business of tran: bring more grist to th You SSENGER. Some authoritative ac iness seems absolutely necessary. W no doubt, now that the public attention has been properly excited, appropriate measures will be adopted to prevent a repetition of the annoyances which have so justly elicited these complaints. alth Officer has gonein- ssen gers also. This will Dows anv Guitzav.—This house was said in our Paper of yesterday, to have suffered by the infidelity of its late clerk, Robert H. Davis. The amount of his misappropriations, we understand to be about $10,000; but we have full confidence in the infor- mation obtained from those well acquainted with the house, that this amount, even if wholly lost, will not in any matter affect its ability to meet promptly its liabilities, nor incapacitate it to continue as extensive a business as heretofore, and with the same safety to its customers. The house promptly prosecuted theivarious individuals, who, it believed, had become possessed of the abstracted funds, and has full confidence of being able to show that they became possessed, under such circumstances, that law and morals will alike make it their duty to re- fund. Those suits are yet pending, and at the ear- liest opportunity will be brought to trial. The fact of the loss, we understand, became known to the friends of Dows and Guiteau, immediately after it was ascertained by themselves, and the particulars have not been made public, from prudential consi- derations, growing out of the course intended to be pursued with the civil suits, and not from any ap- prehension that publicity would impair their credit wherever they are known, or diminish the amount of their future business. “Eyes Ricut.”—A member of that meritorious corps, the National Guard, complains terribly of our reporter’s criticism on the appearance of the 6th company at the Bunker Hill celebration. Our correspondent remarks, apologetically, that the po- sition of the company with respect to the band, was very unfavorable—“ they could’nt hear the mu- sic half the time.” They are all very gallant, well drilled fellows, we doubt not, but such rain as that | which greeted their advent in Boston would have spoiled, pro tempore, the feathers of the finest birds in the world. Fatuer Matruew.—This great apostle of tempe- rance will not be able to visit this country during the present year. He has, however, notified the Catho- lic Abstinence Society of Philadelphia, that he will meet them next year. Plenty of work for him here. Not Gone Yer.—There is no truth in the melan- choly rumor that one of the most distinguished of our North River Captains had ceased for ever to “swallow.” We saw him yesterday morning in the full tide of health and spirits, and the only evi- dence of previous derangement was the fact that he was bidding “good morning” to every body he met—the poor man having epparently got very dis- ordered notions about the progress of time. Tne Ronpery at tae Asror House.—With all his cleverness, Jim Stetson did’nt catch that rascal who cleared off with the silver forks and spoons — Mr. 8. complains very loudly, however,of the ineffi- ciency of his pelice assistants. Mad they been pro- perly awake, we doubt not the culprit would now be fulfilling his destiny in the Tombs. Steam Boat Accommopations.—Complaints are very frequently made, and not without good reason, respecting the accommodations on board of the beautiful steam boats which navigate our noble rivers and ocean lakes. The grievances of the la- dies, God bless them, demand immediate redress They are condemned to all sorts of annoyances— chief of them, sequestration from the society of the gentlemen, except at the supper or breakfast table. There should certainly be some arrangements made which would enable the ladies and gentle- men to enjoy each others society, and save the former from continual condemnation to the com- pany of squalling babies, black chambermaids and disagreeable individuals of the feminine race. Then again there are many poor devils, the state of whose exchequer willnot permit them to occu- py seats atthe table in the cabin at meal time. Could there not be a refreshment room, to which the passengers could resort ad (bitum ? “ CAN ANY Goop THING Come ovT or Nazareru —There are yet some vestiges of civilization in Florida. They hung a man there the other day for killing his wite. Navat—East Inpia Squapron.—The U. 8. store veseel Frederick Warren will sail for © from Boston on the lst of July. Letters sent to the Na- val Library and Institute, Navy Yard, Charlestown, Mass., post paid, will be forwarded to the East India squadron Tae prevaitina Erroemic—Scene in a Country Docror’s Suor.—A few days ago a friend of ours, laboring under the prevailing epidemic, on his way to the Vlochter, New Jersey, etepped into the prin- cipal doctor’s shop in Hackensack, when the fol- lowing conversation oceurred’between him anda very lady-like, tall, genteel woman, the wife of the doctor, who was absent on his daily round :— Pariznt—Could you mix me a prescription, if you please, madam? Lapy—What kind of a ’scription? Parient—I’ll write it—here it is:— Pulv. Doveri, xii. grs. Hydrarg. submur., viii. grs. Misce. Lapy—(Calling to a young man in the kitchen,) George, where’s the Dover’s powders? Gronce—{ dun’now—I b’lieve there’s none mixed. Lapy—Can’t you mix none? Geoncze—Yes—if I know’d what to mix ’em with, 3 Partent—Never mind—give me a few grains of ipecacuanha. Lapy—(Calling to the fellow in the kitchen,) George, where’s the ippeycac? Georcr—I dunknow—it’s one of them bottles with the yellow stuff in it. Lapy—(pulling down one out of twenty bottles, not one of which had a label on it.) I guess this is it—however, you can taste it and see; and if there’s any mistake, why I shan’t charge anything for it. Stop—no! I b’lieve that’s yellow arsenic. Try the stufl in this bottle. The patient took the yellow stuff, in his hand, out of compliment. Parient—Now, give me eight grains of calomel. Lapy—George, which is the calomel ? Gronee—(Still in the kitchen.) One of them bottles with the white stuff in it. Lapy—Oh, I guess this is it—(taking down a bot- tle,) George, where’s all them grain weights ? Gzorcr—I dun know. Lapy—Well, I guess the children have been here and carried ’em all off. Nevermind—I shall have to guess at eight grains. And pouring out about thirty grains, she handed them over to the patient, exclaiming, ‘There, I’ve given you good measure, any how.” Parient—How much is all this, Ma’am ? Lapy—Well, I guess it’s all worth about a shil- ling. ; The patient paid the money, and as he left the doctor’s shop, threw both the “ yellow” and the “white” stuff into the gutter ; determined to get his prescriptions mixed in New York hereafter. ‘Tue Inrivenza.—It appears that the cnly radical cure for this annoying epidemic is a vapor bath. All the victims of this troublesome visitant had better, therefore, visit Mrs. Carroll’s establishment in Courtlandt street, and let all their sufferings evaporate. Tux New Mirgor.—We have just inspected a monthly number of this elegant periodical. We “were perfectly aware that this is the age of cheap literature, but really we were scarcely prepared for such a penny worth, as the General and his curly-pa- ted associate, present us with every Saturday. In the quantity and quality of letter-press—the beauty of the engravings—and the general excellence of the whole work, no other periodical here can hold a candle to the “ Mirror.” TngarricaL Movements.—Theatricals in this city are several degrees below zero—always ex- cepting Niblo’s Garden, however, which is in the perfect noonday of its success and popularity. At the Park, even the rats are starving, and will pro- bably soon vacate the premises, and leave the ticketty old barn as silent asa church-yard at the “time when the wasted brands do glow,” and the screech owl makes night hideous. ‘The Chatham is brushing up for a new, and of course successful campaign. Mrs. Brougham has gone to the West—Buffalo and Cincinnati. Chippendale is doing tolerably well in the city of pork. Miss Petrie isa great favorite there, being very plump and very rosy. The Italian Opera Company of New Orleans have been engaged at the Chesnut street Theatre. The Olympic, in Philadelphia, has re-opened under the management of Peter Richings. Wallace, the new Paganini, has of course en- chanted the people of Philadelphia. Dempster was giving concerts at Rochester by the latest accounts. Jones, the late manager of the late Tremont in Boston, is cutting his way to fame and fortune in the practice of surgery. Mrs. Harpwick’s Concert went off beautifully last night. She is avery deserving artist, and her little daughter is quite a prodigy. Nisto’s.—That figure of fun Burton appears this evening, for the last time. He is an excellent cure for dullness, and his audience are never disappointed in their demands upon him for amusement. The characters he assumes this evening, are amongst the very best he plays, Jenkins and Mr. Brown. There isa solidity and substance in Mr. B.’s acting, that renders him unapproachable ; he always bolds unlimited control over the risible muscles of his audience, and sends them home well pleased, which is a great desideratum in acting. Miss Ayres also appears in two favorite characters, and we expect a crowded garden will witness the va- ried attractions of the evening. Bowery AmpuitHEaTRE.—The beautiful acts of horsemanship which are nightly presented at this es- tablishment, are only necessary to be witnessed to be admired and applauded. Go to-night and satisfy yourself. Later From Tampico—A private letter from Tampico, dated the 2d inst., contains the tollowing information :— Business here is as dull as usual, but we have lately had some ten or twelve arrivals from Europe of vessels laden with merchandize. This will pro- bably give some animation to Commerce. Fifteen hundred men, forming part of the troops who capitulated in Yucatan, landed here yester- day. The seat of government of this department is about being transported to Tampico. This will greatly augment the importance and add to the pop- ulation of our town. The schooner Virginia Antoinette, Capt. Deivaille, arrived here from New Orleans in five days, but did not succeed in passing the bar till yesterday.— N. O. Bee. From Trinipap pe Cuna.—Capt. Ames, of the brig Espelata, reports it as very healthy at ‘Trinidad on the Sth inst., when ne sailed. That side of the island was perfectly tranquil. The market was overstocked with American provisions; the stock of molasses on hand was about 25,000 hhds., the price of which was 5464 cents per gallon. All the box sugars, about 22,000 boxes, had been bought up jor European market. Several American vessels were loading at very low freights—to St. Petersburg the rates were £2 5s, 27s, 4 £295 per ton—U. 8. Gazette. Wasasu and Erie Canan.—A rupture in the banks of this canal, caused by the late excessive rains, has closed the navigation; itis expected that in the course of a fortnight it willbe again opened. The whole country in the Wabash valley is overflowed. Deatu or a Junoe.—Judge John B. C. Lucas, late Judge of the United States Territorial Court of Missouri, died in St. Louison the 3ist ult. at an advanced age. ‘Tne Bounpary Commis‘ ioners.--On the part of the United States and Great Britain have commen- ced operations at Grand Falls on the St. John. Acquirrrp.—William H. Platt, recently on trial in Augusta, Georgia, for the murder of Mr. Harding. The Augusta Chronicle, speaking of the result of the trial, says:— If such a verdict met any other than the execration of the great mass of cur population, it would indeed be a deep disgrace.” SacriLece.—The Cathelic Church at Newcastle, Me., was entered by some scoundrels, a few nights since, and utensils, &c., of considerable value des troyed. A beautiful baptismal vase, presented to the society by Bishop Chevereaux, was destroyed. Sreampoat Euring. ~We have received the fol lowing communication relative to the merits of this new boat, in which the successful operation of Lighthall’s “ half-beam engine,” has, we believe, been satisfactorily established :— Eprtor or THe Heratp— ‘ Sim:—Believing you to bea friend to improve- ment, Ihave been induced to ask the favor that you will, by making a true statement of the performance of the steamboat Empire, correct the erroneous im pressions that are abroad in relation to that boat, and the half beam engines, which in my opinion, both for workmanship and working are unsurpassed in this or any country. It is true the boat was started before she was ready; every thing was new and had to be tried, and yes what new boat ever did what she has done on er second regular trip, to surpass in speed the fastest boat on the river, the South America? Generally speaking, a month at least is allowed a new boat to get in order, but the Empire started from the “‘score” ata speed of eighteen to nineteen miles an hour through the water, as ascertained by Mr. Stevens, and a number of scientific gentlemen onboard. Nowif there is a boat afloat, and in per- fect running order, that can accomplish even that speed, | should like to have her named, even at the present time, while the Empire is running for the purpose ot getting in order. She makes all the neces- sary “landings,” everhauling the orposition boat in the bays, and gets in before Wee let me tell you the Curtis Peck is no easy boat to beat—she ranks smote fastest upon our waters, being small and andled, she will make the same landing in a minute that takes alarge boat four minutes; and when boats are going amile in three minutes and a quarter, having ten or twelve landings to make, admitung they both make the same, one boat must be a great deal faster than the other to do it, and yet the Empire has done it,! and every day will doit easier. f : In about a fortnight’s time the Empire will bein perfect order, and if you will then come on board you will be convinced that what I have stated is true, and will see a boat.and pairjof engines worth looking at. The Empire left Albany on Saturday last at 20 minutes past 7—made six landings, which occupied in all 24 minutes, and arrived at New York 35 pine tes 3o0’clock, making her running time 7 hours and 53 minutes, against tide from Poughkeep- sie. TheCurtis Peck started 2 minutes before 7, was passed at Dobb’s Ferry, about 22 miles from New York, and arrived 8 minutes after the Em- pire. Both boats made the same number of land- ng. Yours, &e. une 2Ist, 1843. ‘We remind the owners and conductors of these boats that however friendly we may bs to improve- mentsin our mode of locomotion on water, yet we cannot allow any trials of superiority in speed or capacity, which obviously endanger the lives of passengers to pass without merited rebuke. This steamboat racing has been in too many cases allew- ed to go unpunished. It should be at once put an end toforever, City Intelligence. MELancnoLy Svuicipe.—On Saturday last the Coroner held an inquest at No.27 North Moore street, on the body of Mr. John Patrullo, a Scotchman, aged 34 years, who was engaged with his prother, David Patrullo,in the wine and liquor trade, at No. 121 Mulberry street, and who committed suicide about half past two o’clock on that day, by shooting himself in the head with a double barrelled gun. He had been occupied during the forenoon paying some bills, and transacting business at the Custom House, and returned to the store about one o’clock. His brother asked him soon after if he would go down tewn and take upasmall note, which was due that day, and not re- turning as usual to dinner, or to the store before tea, some uneasiness was caused among his friends. On his brother returning to the boarding house in the evening, he inquired if the deceased had returned, and was inform, ed he had not. He then sought him in his bed-room where he found him lying on his face, at the foot ot the bed, quite dead. Dr. Hudson Kinsley was immediately summoned,who, on turning the body over, found the head shockingly mutilated; the mouth, cheeks and face black- ened, \and shattered to pieces, and a gun lying at right angles with the body, between’ the knees, with which it was apparent that the unfortunate maa had completed his own destruction by placing the muzzle in his month. He had attempted once before to destroy himselt by stran- gulation, on the 20th Apri) last, amd came very near ac- complishing his object. No cause could be assigned for the rash act. The inmates ofthe house heard areport as if trom a gun about half past two o’clock, but took no no- tice ofit. Verdict, that the deceased came to his death by shooting himself with a double barrelled gun, loaded either with buck shot er ball. AcciwentatLy Drowsrp.—Joseph Thompson, a colored lad, aged about 15 years, assistant cook on board the steamboat Indiana, Captain Gillespie, lying at the foot of Courtland street, was accidently drowned by falling into the water, while attemptiog to go on board the boat. The plank, which was locked es usual, had worked off to the edge of the boat, and on his stepping on it, it turned over, precipitating him into the river: He sank imme- diately, and did not rise again. Every effort was made to rescue him, but before he could be got out, a lapse of some fifteen minutes occurred, so that life was extinct when he was recovered. Verdict, accidental drowning. Bunoany.—Officer Ruckel arrested three boys named Michael Hogan, Peter Ruland and William Nesbitt, who hadcommitted @ burglary on Sunday afternoon at the store of Joseph Riley, No. 116 Maiden lane, and stole therefrom five pairs of boots, wortn three doll nd twenty-five cents per pair. Some of the boots wer nd on their feet, andthe rest they had sold to the father of Nesbitt, who keepsa cellar in William street near Spruce. ‘They succeeded in gaining an entrance into the store by mounting te the window of the second story by means of the sign, and undoing the latch. They were discovered by Mr. Riley, who happened to go to his store about three otolock, when the young rascals jumped from the second story and made off. Artemrtep Burctany.—John Hilliken was caught about 8 o’clock on Sunday night, by watchman John Reed, attempting to enter the house of Mr. Andrew Bow. den, No. 105 Wooster street, by the basement window— fully committed. ‘Taxinc Mux ay THe WHOLESsALE.—Freedom S. New- ton, Nathan E. Shephard, anda fellow named Goodrich, were seen by Elisha C. Dodd, of No. 383 Greenwich street, to carry of two cans of milk, containing each forty- two galions oi the value of $12, from the wharf at the foot of Courtlandt street. A warrant was issued, and the par- ties arrested and fully committed. Common ‘ ouncil, ° Boanp or Atpramen—Monday, June 26.—Alderman Lee President pro tem. in the absence of Alderman Purdy fiom sickness.

From William Holdredg, offering $15,000 per annum for a lease of Fulton Ferry for five years, Prom Joseph E. Mount and others to have East adway lighted with gas R. L. Stevens for the exclusive use of street. Hawkers and Pedlars.—The committee to whom was referred the resolutions of mechanics and merchants, relative to hawkers and 8, reported favorable, aud asked a reference to the Committee on Laws and the Counsel of the Board.

Referred to same committee. The Croton Freshet.—A communication fromthe Coun: sel of the Board, stating the fact that the Messts.

The Courier and Enquirer of this morning contains an audaciously impudent putt for the New York Life and Trust Gompany, in connection with a report before the Master in Chancery, of Nicolls’frauds. The report isa mere detail of the manner in which Master Nicoll led the whole board by the nose, and pocketed near 40 percent of the whole capital before it wasdiscovered. The frauds commenced, it appears, in 1837, and the report is lost in astonishment at the resplendent talents required to make false entries in accounts never examined. It states as fol- lows His great skill, combined with business habits, uniting constant application with extreme accuracy aud rapidity, ed him to periorm the almost incredible labor these varied accupations requi The highest evidence of his accuracy and skill consist in his having been able ed ae and so successfully to conceal such extensive rauds. These talents enabled this man to take $349,769 out of a capital of $1,000,000, without discovery.
