—_ New York, Monday, July 24, 1843 a visnlina. Qy Aliletters on business with this office, and NEW YORK HERALD. Boz's Caricaturgs.—By the bye, we are hardly justifiable in designating the scurrilous chapters in the last number of Dickens’ biography of “ Chuzale- wit,” by the respectable name of caricatures. Poor “‘ Boz” is evidently at the end of his‘ tether.” communications intended for insertion, must be The passages impudently represented as descriptive addressed as heretofore to James Gorpon BENNETT, ditor and proprietor of the New York Herald. ‘Tue Sics or THE Trwgs.-—Our lot has been cast of the press and society here, are the dullest, most pitiable, and weakest attempts at humor we have ever met with. Wecan compare them to nothing in stirring times. The barriers by which in the but the effusions of the half-starved, unwashed, tip- days of the feradled weakness of thefworld the powers of the mind and the spirit of free enquiry had been imprisoned, have been unlocked, and Christendom now rings with the shock of conflict- ing opinion. There are weak and inexperienced observers who see in these signs of the times nothing but the omens of evil to come, and through their visions of the future, flit distorted images of desolation and terror, such as make up the dreams of dying, wicked men. But the thoughtful student of the world’s progress, and the true friend of liberty and his race, recognizes in passing events a very different feature. He knows full well that all this disturbed aspect of the times, portends the near approach. of that new and better era in the history of mankind, which sages, inspired and uninspired, have sighed for and pre- dicted from the earliest days—ke knows that soon in the words of the eloquent Macauley, the violence ot contradictory opinion will subside, hostile theo- ries correct each other, and a system of peace, or- derand justice be educed from the present chaos. Amongst the prominent signs of the times, one of the most important and intelligible is that revolu- tiouary spirit whichis now at work amongst the churches. Fora lengthened period a deep sleep had fallen upon the churches of the Reformation in Great Britain. The mists and shadows of indiffer- ence and moral apathy were uponthem. It seemed as if, indeed, every harp had been hung upon the willows, and every spiritual energy had been nicely laid upin the ice-house. But life was breathed upon the valley of the dry bones. The Church of Scot- land—the ancient and venerable church, with its foundations deep in a nation’s reverential love, and cemented by the blood of an army of martyrs, with its growth of two centuries stretching upward to the skies—was the first to feel the awakening influence. The hoof of atyrranous state supremacy became too heavy to be borne, and the spirit of the nine- teenth century sveedily burst the chains which had bound the “Church of the Covenant,” and restored her to that free and independent position for which Wishart, Welch and Knox so faithfully contended, even unto the death. The recent schism in the Scottish Church, we re- gard as one of the most glorious evidences of the progress of civil and religious freedom, and the ad- vancing majesty of those great principles of truth and liberty, which have on this continent attained a supremacy before which the haugktiest potentates ot earth have been made to tremble. It is the first bold and decisive step towards the emancipation of the church from the trammels of the State. It shows that the time has passed away, forever, when a religious body that should, like an angel, flee through heaven proclaiming peace and good will to all men, shall remain chained to the footstool of an earthiy throne. And what does this Pusey:te controversy portend, but the inroad of the same glorious principle, into the Euglish Episcopal Church? An open schism must be produced. Every day is widening the breach already made. There must be speedily a separation of the two parties. The Puseyites will! fall back en the veneravle Church of Rome, and their opponents must eventually make common cause with the various bodies of dissenters, who are now busily engaged in modifying their respective creeds, so as to prepare the way for a general union of their forces. What then? Why, nothing more nor less then must result, than that great final deci- sive conflict between the churches which John in the isle of Patmos, and the Hebrew seers, who pre- ceded him in the land of prophetic dreams, have so graphicahy described, and about which the Father Millers and Brownlees of the last ten centuries have been blundering so egregiously, to the terror of all the old wives of Christendom. We must soon have all the churches of the Re, formation—the Presbyterians, and the Wesleyans, and the Baptists, and the Congregationalists, and the various minor sects, uniting together in one common bond The Puseyites must mingle with the “ mother church,” whose arms are now open to receive them with all the welcome of the parent of the returning prodigal son. What does Bishop Oaderdonk intend to door to say? What course do the other clergymen whe pling, melancholy creatures who edit “things” call- ed Sunday papers in this city. Indeed, to give the poor mendicant literateurs their due, we think we have seen some ale- house puffs, purporting to have been written by them, which are decidedly superior in wit and spirit to any passage in these unfortunate chapters by Boz. There is a splenetic, malignant, petty desire of revenge for some imagined wrong or indignity, per- vading the whole of these chapters, which can awaken only the feeling of pity for the author in the mind of the compassionate reader. Here, alas! Boz has given us only anotherapecimen of the weakness and imbecility of our nature. With pow: ers of observation of unexampled acuteness—with a ready and keen, and, indeed, intuitive perception of the ridiculous—with, we do not hesitate to say, an unsurpassed facility of giving permanent embo- diment to the thousand impressions which his mind received from the external world—with an experienced tact in the study of character—with a new, ghd attractive, and prolific field before him— Boz has given us only a few pages of groas and vul- gar caricature ! We are very sorry that we have read these mise- rable chapters. That glorious train of personages with whom we have laughed and wept by turns—in whose joys we have so heartily rejoiced, and with whose sorrowings we have so tenderly sympathized, seem now to weara sadly repulsive air. It seems as if indeed the glory had departed from those pages in which we recognized, as in a mirror, the faithful portraiture of the human heart, in all its varied feelings, errors, virtues, and enjoyments. Indeed, indeed, it is unworthy of the creator of Sam Weller, of the historian of Little Nell, of the biographer of the parish boy, to write such low, vulgar, pointless, unmeaning chapters, as those in- tended to be descriptive of New York editors and boarding-house keepers. Heaven knows there was “ample room and verge eneugh” in tke field here chosen by Bozto glean materials {for the most amusing, sarcastic, and profitable chapters he has ever written. But he is the most stupid gleaner in this instance, that ever tried to pick up a day’s vituals. Suppose old Noah undertakes the job. He’sa tolerable hand at trying to pick up something, and if he only begins with himself, he’s sure to beat all Boz’s caricatured edi- tors all hollow. IncuraBe.—Poor old Noah has indeed expe- consented to Mr. Carey’s ordination, intend to adopt? Mr. Carey is certainly a right good son of the Catholic church. Is he not determined to sus tain hisiposition? On all these matters we will be soon sufficiently well-informed. The controversy has fairly commenced, and we will surely be able to set Europe the example in its disposal. The old serpent is hard at work, and chuckling over the controversies which are distracting the churches, and he anticipates an accession to his dominion. He ismistaken. Free discussion is the great en- gine which is destined to eradicate error, priest- cratt and superstition. We'll all see that by and by: ApMINisrRaTION or Criminal Justice IN THIS Orry.—It is certainly nothing less than an apprecia- tion of the wisdom of the desperate policy of the importunate widow in the parable, which induces us, for the hundredth time to take up the subject of the mal-administration of justice in the criminal courts of thiscity. But there have occured of late a number of such glaring cases, that we cannot al- low them to pass without comment. It does really seem that the perfect immunity of offenders has been declared by some of our judicial authorities. Perhaps they are trying that very philosophical ex- periment of allowing the majority of offenders to escape with a gentle reprimand, which was so fully put into operation here some years ago, and of the blessed frnits of which not a few of the present generation are able to speak very graphically and conclusively. ‘The other day we had a most signal specimen in the Court of Sessions of that disregard of the re- quisitions of justice which has, we say, with burn- ing shame, so often disgraced our judiciary. A felon, after a long and entirely unjustifiable delay of some eighteen months, was convicted of a gross and beastly libel on the lady of one of our most re- speetable citizens. The jury unanimously found the scoundrel guilty without leaving their seats.— What was the punishment inflicted? Will it be be. lieved? It was a fine of twenty-five dollars! What Protection is there, according to this decree, afford. edo female reputation and the peace of families? This is not by any means, we ure sorry to say a solitary instance of the mal-administration of cri- minal justice amongst us. Numerous cases of an equally aggravated character might be cited. But we believe it to be unnecessary. The great mass of the intelligent and reputable portion ot our fele low-citizens are fully aware of the existence of the evils of which we speak, and are sufficieutly pre. pared to take decisive measures for their suppres. sion. Something certainly must soon be done, or we need not be surprised if that system of private vengeance which has bedewed the South with blood, should becone equally fashionable here.— We have more to say on this matter, and as we know that we have the cordial sympathy and sup port of all of our fellow citizens whose support and sympathy are worth haying, we will not shrink from the due discharge of our duty in the matter, as guar- dians of the public weal, East Invia Mar. —The letters for the United States were put on board the sehr. Petrel, (formerly the Princess, of New York, bui now under the British flag) bound to Bombay, where she had not reached at the time the overland mail was made up Nicholas Biddle, Esq. arrived on Saturday at , ‘oe “ i but has left again for Paterson rienced resurrection, and once more mingles in the dust and turmoil of the industrious earth. He is hard atwork at the old business, and, in all human probability, his exertions will be crowned with suc- cess by the death of another newspaper bantling, at the end of the next fortnight. We pity the old man. TuearmicaL ann MusicaL.—Mr. Wallace is in Albany. He gave one concert there, on Friday evening, and asecond on Saturday evening. The Albany papers say that his first performance once, not only the most wonderful they ever listened to, but it transcended their highest conceptions of mu- sical skill. There is quite a constellation of stars now at Al- bany. Mrs Watson and Julia Turnbull,Messrs. Wal- lace; Watson, Burton, and we may add Tom Thumb. Max Bohrer, and some of the others are on their way to Saratoga, which is become the great centre of attraction. Russell and Yankee Hill are already at Sarato- ga. Castellan is in Philadelphia, and has created as reat a sensation there as in this city. Rakeman, is rusticating. The Misses Cumming intend to give one of their delightful ballad cencerts at Saratoga in a week or two. Hacket is in Detroit. The Seguins are in Cincinnati. One of Welsh & Delavan’s equestrian troops open 1n Boston to-day. Thorne sailed on Saturday to Rio with a com- pany, in which are Herr Cline, Le Monstre Paul, Mrs Thorne, Mestayer and others. He expects to be gone four years. Mrs. Bailey is in Montreal. Nickinson, Mr. and Mrs. C. Hill, Miss Rock, and Miss Hill are in Montreal. A Discovery or an Oriainat Picrure sy Rev- Bens, has been recently made in England, says the Boston Transcript, under somewhat singular cir- cumstances. gentleman in Sheffield, a pic.ure was put up in which there was no figure apparently discernable, but which, after some hesitation, was knocked down for 1s. 94. It was afterwards purchased of the buyer for 53. and the new possessor proceeded to wash it, which caused several of the figures to appear while wet. This led to a resolution to send it to London to be cleaned ; and the old varnish be- ing removed, it turned out to be a very fine old pic- ture. It was returned to Sheffield with an offer of 160 guineas for it, and the biddings have since ad- vanced to 350 guineas, at which price, however, it isnotto be had. The picture consists of a fine fe- male figure, standing upon a car drawn by alion. One child nestles in her bosom, others cling to her robes, others follow her car, while one rides a lion. Several other rotund little ones, with cherub wings, fly abouther. The style of the painting, and some other internal evidence, have satisfied several emi- nent connoisseurs that it is a genuine Reubens; and this is confirmed by an old etching of the picture, which is called “‘ The Triumph of Christianity, by Reubens.” Satz or Dr. Sovrnry’s Lisrary.—The sale of the household furniture, plate, and part of the libra- ry of the late Dr. Southey, was very numerously and respectably attended. In the course of the sale, many very severe and spirited competitions took place; on which occasion, as is usually the case, He has really some amiable qualities, and if he had been endowed with discretion and decency, he might have passed through life with a good deal of credit. He 1s easily imposed upon, which is indeed but reasonable, seeing he has all his life been try- ing to impose upon others. The incorrigible cha- racter of the old creature has indeed often excited our surprise. The more you whip him,the worse he grows. Every application of the rod only makes him more silly and abandoned. Even kindness and good advice serve but to inflame his ill-nature— “ As heaven’s blest beam turns vinegar more sour.” He has belonged to all parties, and most assuredly fromall he has got more kicks than coppers. We don’t know what’s best for him to do, so as to make his exit with any kind of éclat. Let him transport himselt in his “ ark” to Niagara, and floating quietly down the rapids, Jet him ‘‘ like the immortal Ju- lius Caesar, die with decency.” We believe that’s the best advice we can give him now. Srrancers In Navvoo—Tue Mormons on THE Loox-our —Joe Smith 1s evidently very ill at ease in his seat of government at Nauvoo. The Mer- mons of that city have just passed some rather re- markable laws respecting strangers. Joe is evi- dently on the look-out, and is determined to purify the holy city. Strangers visiting Nauvoo will please remember, then, ‘that the city council, marshal, constables, and city watch, are authorized and required te require all strangers in Nauvoo to give their names, former residence, for what intent they have entered or are tarrying in the city, and answer such other questions as the officer shall {eem proper or necessary ; and for a failure or re- fusal on the part of strangers to give the desired in- formation, or for giving false names or information, they shall be subject to the penalty of the ordi- nance concerning ‘vagrants and disorderly persons,’ passed November 13th, 1841. And the aforesaid authorities are further required to hail, and take all persons found strolling about the city at night, after nine o’clock, and before sunrise, and to confine them in ward for trial, unless they give a good and satisfactory account of themselves, or offer a rea- sonable excuse for being thus caught out after nine o’clock. The aforesaid authorities are also required to enter all hotels, or houses of public entertainment, and such other habitations as they may judge pro- per, and require the inmates to give immediate in- formation of all persons residing in said hotel or ha- bitation, and thvir businees, occupation or move- ments ; and for a failure, non-compliance, or false information, their license shall be a forfeit, if it be a public house, and they, and the transient persons subject to the penalties as before mentioned. And it is further ordained, that if any of the aforesaid officers shall refuse, or neglect to do their duty as required by this ordinance, they shall be fined one hundred dollars, and be broke of office.” These enactmentsredound greatly, we think, to the good sense of the Prophet. The adoption and enforcement of similar regulations in our own city of sparkling fountains and filthy streets, would “do the State some service.” They might help us to get rid ef the blacklegs that strut along Broadway and insult our ladies; and the poor creatures who craw] abeut the grog-shops during the week, and publish ale-house puffs on Sundays, for a fiving. Tue Rev. Mr. Carey, of controversial notoriety, preached yesterday a most excellent practical ser- mon, atthe church of the ‘ Annunciation,’ corner of Prince and Thompson streets, to the congregation of the Pastor, Kev. Dr. Seabury, and a crowd of others, who were attracted from the publicity of the Rev. preacher’s intention to officiate. His text was taken from the third epistle of St. Paul to the Colos- sians, and 17th verse—** Whatever you do in word or deed, do all,” &c., &c. After a most beautiful and eloquent dissertation on the beneficial results of Christianity upon the human family, and the ne- cessity of associating the presence of the Almighty in all the thoughts and actions of man—imploring his blessing and his witness in all the exercises, em- ployments, and recreation of life. He concluded by impressing the necessity of baptism, a rite by which man is engrafted in spirit unto the body of Christ and sanctified, by being performed in confor- mity to the language of the text, to his glory, and in hismame. Mr. Carey read the service as well as preached in solemn and deeply impressive tone, and the language of his discourse afforded a univer- sal conviction that in his various studies he has richly cultivated that of eloquence of the purest and chastest order. The notoriety which this young Deacon has obtained, will draw him crowded au i- ences for some time to come. Taiat or Coronet Freman.—We have received a copy of the long and elaborate defence of Colone! Freman before the Marine Court Martial at Middle. town, The case does not, however, pessess any iu- terest for the public. We shall give the decision of the Court a8 soon as il reaches us, the articles competed for brought a price far beyond that ofits intrinsic worth. In one instance an old screen, used by the late Laureate at cullege, which was net worth more than a few shillings, was even- tually knocked down at eleven guineas. Deatu aT Ska.—A steerage passenger was found dead in his birth on board of the brig Emily, on her late trip from Charleston, S. C. to New York. He was a German by birth, by the name of Henry Van Glahl, about 22 years of age, and of intemperate habits. A jury of inquest was called by the captain from among the cabin passengers, and it was thei® unanimous opinion that he died from the effects of intemperance, produciog delirium tremens. His effects are left in charge of the agents of the vessel, Dunham & Dimon. Tue History or THE “TyLER Prooress.”—In our columns to-day we give chapter second of the history to which we yesterday alluded, though of a somewhat diflerent character. Tue Hamitron Hovse.—This house is easily ac- eessible from the city, and in a situation unsur- passed for fine viewsof land and sea. Itis kept in the best and most recherche'manner by Curtis. That pattern of a gentlemanly and attentive host, has arisen at once to popularity. We have received a letter from Fort Hamilton, describing the delightful balls givenin a hall only equalled by the large dining room of the Astor, brilliantly lighted and decora- ted; but our crowded columns present no corner for it. The house is filled with some of our first citi- zens; and such is the healthfulness of the scite, and the salubrity of the sea breezes, and delightful walks upon the “dry land,” that several invalids of our acquaintance have already, in a short residence at the Hamilton House, recovered their health while to children, the large court yards, the shaded, grassy walks, and pure airs, prove a panacea more potent than all the narsing and medicines of the city. Nisto’s—Tue New Orgra or La Fitie pu Reci- mENT.—M’selle Calvé has at last convinced some lukewarm admirers that she has both force, spirit andenergy. Let any one visit the Garden to-night and hear her sing the soul stirring ‘Salut a la France,” and he must fall in with the current of universal admiration. The crowded state of the theatre each night this opera has been played, is really a most gzatifying proof that in discernment and patronage of music, singers and operas, New York still sustains a just pre-eminence. Cuatuam Tueatre.—This house was well filled on Saturday evening to witness the comedy of the Honey Moon. Mr. Jamison played Duke Aranza in a masterly manner, Mrs. G. Jones sustaining him in her usually agreeable style as Juliana. No thea- tre in the country can now boast a superior compa- ny. To-night the whole foice appears in the admi rable comedy of The Wonder, and in a new piece written for Mrs. Lewis, called Belair, the Bandit, Mrs. H. playing the principal part. City Intelligence. Bracxwer.’s Isiasy.—The male ond female prisons on Blackwell’s Island are filled to overflowing, and hun- dreds of stout, able-bodied men and women confined and sent there as ‘‘vagrants,” should be released to earn their own support, instead of being a tax upon community. During a recent visit we were astonished to find some fifteen or twenty prisoners lame, deaf and blind, who were there confined for no other of fence than physical mit(ortunes. This is ali wrong —these subjects should be provided with habitations at the Bellevue Alms House, and not sent to the Peniten. ent upon the Island, is the iscuous intermingling of thieves, ys, and old and accomplished rogues, with the young and unitiated who may be imprisoned for petty offences, or as‘ va- merely because they have no home or employ- The Common Council hes ee ee * talking” ofa remedy for this last serious evil, KA ¢ establishment of a workhouse, but it appears to be talk and nothing else.

This is the to mike public these transactions, and not put it off until the eve ofafall or spring election, when such statements are supposed to be manufactured for the ovcasion. Pablic servants who violate the trust imposed upon them shou!) be effectually exposed, in order to prevent a repetition of such evils, and when it is boldly asserted that the island was stripped of public property to the value of thousands, it becomes the imperative duty of the Committee of the Common Council, to make immediate enquiry, anJ report forth with, that the truth may be known to their constitu ents.

Common Councit.—The Board of Aldermen meet (his evening at 6 o'clock; and now we will ask you,'gentle- men “fathers of this Es city,” when you intend to give 04 @ report on the police sy stem and adopt some new plan? How much longer are we to suffer from the filthy state of our streets by your delay in not coming to a decision as to the street contract ?

Crosinc Daa Smors—We understand that Alderman Tillou, of the Fifth Ward, in company with the Sunday officers of the ward, yesterday closed all the establish- ments for retailing rum throughout his territorial juris- diction. If he succeeded, he deserves credit for his indus. try at least, as Fil fromthe Sixth for scenes of dissipation, night prostitution, always excepting the immediate vi cinity of the “Five Points.” Let the Alderman next turn his hand to the abolition of the “touch houses,” where robberies are committed nightly y the aid of the prosti- tutes that swarm in the ward. The centre of his ward, known asthe “four points,” is a perfect hot bed of prosti- tution, in which all sorts of evils are engendered. Svurrosep Invanticipe.—Mrs, Olivia Burr, of No. 7 Leonard street, was arrested yesterday morning by the Corener on a charge of infanticide, An examination took place before a er’a jury, when it was ascer- tained that the child was found in a sink, but the cir- cumstances elicited were sugh as to induce them to return averdict** that the child was still born, but from the evidence before them the jury is not warranted in saying that Mrs. Burris the mother of the child.” She was dis- charged, and states that thechild was accidentally de. livered while she was in the sink, and falling, she con- conten | thefact. She had been married but about three months. Recocnizew anv Founp.—The body of the boy who was drowned from Pier No. 11 East River, on Saturday, was recovered esterday and recognized by his family, as John Lane,of 859 Water street. His father had recently urchased a horse and cart for him, and started him in usiness as a cartmen. A Crip Kittep py Fauine en 17s Heap.—A vei melancholy accident occurred in the family of Mr. Mi- chael Wymes, No. 95 Mulberry street, yesterday week, which resulted in the death of an infant aged two years. The little fellow was playing on a high yp, and over- balanced himself and fell en the iron railing of the base- ment picket, one of the sharp ends of which entered the neck, and passing upward, fractured the skull to the ex tent of three inches, running across the occipital bone and severely lacerating the brain. Doctors Hosack and Wilkes were instantly summoned, but the child lingered in torture until Saturday last, when it died. Yesterday an inquest was held on the body and the Jury returned a verdict from effect of the fall! A Coon Rascar.—About as cool and impudent a rob- bery was committed on the store of Sidney B. Young, No. 132 Canal street, on Saturday last, as we have ever record- ed. While Mr. Young was absent on business, leaving in charge his clerk, William Badgan, an intelligent but very young lad,a fellow named james Carrigal, ‘arowdy looking specimen ofa tailor, entered, and without asking permission, took a cloth coat worth $6 50; he next open- ed a show case, from which he took apiece of cloth measuring aboutithree and a half yards, worth $3 50 per yard, and in reply to the demand of the astonished @lerk, he said that he took the goods by order of Mr. Young, whom he had just met, and sent him forthem. The little fellow again remonstrated, but to no purpose, for the rascal walked off with his booty. The quick eye of the clerk, however, so truly scanned his features and general appearance, that officer Davis was at once able to recognize {the man, and on Suoday mornin; him, After examination, he was fully committed for trial. He is an old shoplifter, though but a very young man. Srouen Goons xxrosep For sauy.—On Saturday eve- ning two men were observed to pass the store of C.& A. Poillon, No, 57 Catherine street, one ot whom, Peter Crow- ley, entered the store and engaged the attention of the clerk, while pricing some shirting calico; meanwhile,the other, whosename is Anderson, seized twenty pieces of gr loth worth $2 per piece, and ran off with it. A girl passing at the moment witnessed the theft and in. stantly made the clerk acquainted with the case, who pursued the rogue and arrested him with the in his possession. From the conduct of the pretended pureha- ser, the clerk believing he was connected, arrested him also and sent them both to the Police office. Crowley de- nies the accusation of bemg linked with Anderson. He hails from No.2 Hick street, Brooklyn, and Anderson says he lived at $7 Water street. They are both fully committed.

Eprror: - Is it not surprising that so many of our citizens should passively submit to live, year alter year, with nuisances of the worst character in their immediate vicinity? The laws have pro- vided abundant remedies which every party injurea can put in force, independent of the city bye-laws and ordinances; and if those ordinances were only half entorced, there would not be so clean a city in Christeudom, The general excuse made by the friends of decency tor remaining passive is, that the city authorities are so much influenced by party confederations, and so fearful of becoming unpopa lar, that all. efforts to arouse them to the pertorm- ance of their duty will prove unavailing. There is no doubt that this excuse is not entirely without foundation, as the peel ine for violation of the city ordinances can only be prosecuted by the attorney of the corporation, and hecannot retain his office if he does any thing to offend any large c! sof the sovereign people, aud lose the Bene it of their votes in favor ot the party that appoints him. But the law having provided other remedies within the reach of all, every neighborhood and all its members are blamable for permitting the nuisances in their own immediate vicinity. A nuisance is defined to be whatever annoys another, and renders the enjoy- ments of life and property uncomfortable. By com- mon law a nuisance may be abated—i. e. pulled down and destroyed—by the mere act of individuals without any judicial process. A law suit is alto- ether too slow a remedy. This was expressly so lecided in the Supreme Court of this State, in the case of Wetmore vs. Tracy.—14 Wendell’s Report, The Court of Chancery has power, and it is its duty also, on complaint of the parties injured, to rant an injunction against continuing the nuisance. his is a sovereign remedy, and can be applied at the very commencement of the suit; and for a_vio- lation of the injunction, the parties offending will be committed to close confinement in jail. Ifa neigh- borhood of forty or fifty respectable families, there- fore, permi: four or five butchers, who persist in car- ying on the business of slaughtering cattle in the thickly settled parts of the city, to incumber the ets with unemployed cart, fill their houses with flies, and the air with noisome efiluvia, and the streets with cattle and carts full of offal and other offensive matter, and the gutters with putrid blood, it is their ewn fault, for the remedy isin their own hands. For the purpose of ‘placing the legal ques- tion beyond dispute, it may be well to insert the tol- lowing brief report of a late case in Chancery, from J. Paige’s Reports, page 575, Catlin and others vs. Valentine. “The occupation of a building, ina city, as a slaughter house is prima facie a nuisance to the neighboring inha- bitants, and may be restrained by injunction. And a eneral answer of the defendant denying that a slaughter bie is a nuisance, is not sufficient to authorize the dis- solution of an injunction restraining him from using his building laughter house, To constitute a nuisance, it is not necessary that the noxious trade or business should endanger the health of the neighborhood. It is sufficient if it produces that which is offensive to the senses and which renders the enjoyment of life and property uncomfortable.” ‘This was am appeal from an order of the vice chancel- lor of the first circuit denying tis defendant’s applicatien to dissolve an injunction. The bill was filed by certain owners of property im the city of New York, on the east side of the second avenue, to restrain the defendant from erecting a slaughter house at the corner of that avenue and fifth street, and from slaughtering any cattle or other animals at that place, oo pearine them to be slaugh- tered there. The injunction was granted ex parte, be- fore the building erected for ughter house was com- pleted, and soon after it was commenced ; but it was af- terwards so modified as to permit the defendant to proceed with the erection of his building, and only restraining him from using or permitting it to be used as a slaughter house. The defendant, bv his answer, insisted that he intended to use the slaughter house in such a manner that it woula not be a nuisance to the complainants, or to the other inhabitants of the neighborhood. And on that an- swer he applied to dissolve the injunction absolutely ; which application the vice chancellor denied, and direct- ed the costs thereof to abide the event o1 the suit. Geo. Wilson, for the appellant. D. P. Hall & H. P. Edwards, for the r ndents. Tx Cuancetior. The situation of the defendant’s building in reference to the dwellings of the complain- ants, as described in the bill and not denied by the an. swer, would prima facie render the occupation of such building for the purpose of slaughtering cattle there, a nuisance. And as there is no real begagt that such an offensive business should be carried on in this ofthe city, where many valuable dwelling houses of the best kind are already erected and are continuing to be built, the vice chancellor was right in retaining the injunction until the hearing. The answer of the defendant that a slaughter house would not be offensive to the complain- ants is matter of opinion merely, and is not such a denial ef the whole equity of the bill as to entitle the defendant toa dissolution of the injunction as a matter of course. To constitute a nuisance, it is not necessary that the nox- ious trade or business should endanger the health of the neighborhood. It is sufficient 11 produces that which is offensive to the senses, and which renders the enjoy- ment of life and property uncomfortable. (Rex v. Neil, 2 Carr. & Payne’s Rep. 485. Rex v. White, 1 Burr. Rep. 337.) It is perhaps possible to carry on the business of slaugh- tering cattle, to a limited extent, in such a manner as not tobeanuisance. But it is wholly improbable that any one will subject himself to the nece: expense to ena- ble him to do it in that part of the city, when the business can be carried on in the unsettled parts of New York, or in parts of the city where property is less valuable, with- out the great cost and labor which would be requisite to carry it on where the defendant’s buildings were being erected when this bill was filed. In a case which came before the house of lords, upon an appeal from Scotland, that court sustained the ad interim interdict of the court below, although the defendants, as in this case, denied that in the particular manner in which they intended to carry on their business it wouid be a nuisance to the neighboring inhabitants. (The Burnt Island Whale Fishing Company v. Trotter, 6 Wils. & Shaw’s Parl. Rep. 649.) And in the more recent case of Swinton and others v. Pedie, (15 Shaw & Dunl. Sess. Ca. 775,) the lords of session in Scotland retused to discherge the adinterim in- terdict so far asto permit the experiment to be made whether a sl-ughter house could be erected, and con- ducted in such a manner as not to be a nuisance to the northern suburbs o/ Edinburgh, in the manner suggested by thedefendant. The decision of the court in that case was substantially sustained upon appeal to the house of Jords, in 1889... (Maclean & Rob. Par Rep. 1018, 8. C.) In this case the defendant, upon the final hearing, will e the opportunity to produce proofs to show that the slaughtering of cattle, at the place proposed, will not be offensive to the neighboring inhabitants, and injurious to them in the enjoyment of their property. Or an issue may be awarded to try that question, if either par’ thinks proper to apply for ‘an issue. of the vice chancellor continuing the injunction, in this stage of the suit, must be affirmed with costs. . Now let every neighborhood afflicted with these intolerable nuisance, combine and file bills tor injunctions against all offenders, and in twenty days the slaughter houses will become as inoffensive as that at the corner of 5th street and second avenue In Second street, above avenue A, there are up- wards of sixty respectable dwelling houses occu- pied by respectable and inoffending inhabitants, all of whom are more or less annoyed by six slaughter houses, all of which are nuisances, and some of them of the worst character. Almost all the oc- cupants of the 33 good houses between avenue A and first avenue, arein the habit of passing thove six slaughter houses daily, and are compelled to cross the street from side to side to avoid their o!- fensive stench, or get round their carts of garbage. Their houses are fled with swarms of flles—they are obliged to shut their windows in the hottest days, when they most need air, to keep out the dis- gusting effluvia, and a s'ream of blood often flow- ing past their doors. Besides, the street is obstruct- ed ‘ carts, and sometimes filled with droves of cattle. Without the least ill-will to the parties in- terested, they are kindly informed that they cannot pursue their offensive business where they are,with- out legal proceedings, which will require too much of their time to admit of attention to their ordinary occupation.

It" is little more than. a month since my indebtedness to Mr. Mann accrued, and during that time I have made ited efforts to discharge it calling at his stable with the money, and on one occasion waiting there to see him more thay hour, by leaving word with his groom and by sending messages to him by Mr. Bryant and Mr. Randolph. en I called at Mr.Mann’s stable, he was absent, and it necessary that I shoul tle the de- mand with him personally, as there w: light differ. ence between us‘as to thetrue amount due. It seems that while I was calling on him, he was sending to me by let- hei} which having been left at the store formerly occu. pied by me, and which I have ngt occupied for several months, did not reach me. Mr. Randolph called and informed (Mr. Mann’s fore. man, in his absence, that on a day which was specified, the demand would be settled, and on that day | called, and as appears by Mr. Mann’s statement discharged my obli- gation honorably. Mr. not apprised of my efferts to see him, and supposed his letters had been received and disregarded by me; under an erroneous impression he published his communication on the 22d aut. As soon however as he learned the facts I have related he offered to relieve me from the imputation contained in that communication, and readily did so. It is unnecessary for me to defend the motives and acts ofthese who united in the reception and attentions which the President received on his late visit to this city.

Banx or Kewtucky, ouisvilie, July 3d, 1843, This displays the operation of the Bank under the law of the last session, authorising the Bank to return the five per cent bonds issued to it by the State for capital. This has been done, it appears, by reducing the capital of the Bank $1,000,000, and the aggregate movement of the Bank by the sameamount. It also appears that the in- stitution has disposed of $111,000 of Kentucky six per cent bonds, and invested the amount in Treasury notes. ‘The discounts of the Bank have mcreased $160,000, and the billsof exchange $400,000, and the specie in the in- stitution increased near $200,000 The deposites have also increased. The Treasury notes have now been redeemed, and the funds of the bank at all points begin to exhibit the same difficulty of investment, which marks the institutions on the Atlantic border, Of the fraudu- lent stock, it appears $135,100 have been purchased during the past six months, reducing the amount to little over $1,000,000. ‘The cash means of the Bank are now very nearly equal to its cash liabilit It is always the case and olways will be, that the “Cotalines” and “O’Connells” of every country, will take advantage of the discontents and supposed ditficul- ties of a portion of the citizens to farther their own por- nicious schemes, even if the independence and very existence of the government is involved in the issue.
