euntnetnd Cee RE TE TY NEW YORK HERALD. ve Friday, August 11, 1843. Qq Allletters on business with this office, and communications intended for insertion, must be addressed as heretotore to James Gorpor: Benner, ditor and proprietor of the New York Herald. Tim Case or Mrs Gu.mova.—We were last even- ing, by the politeness of Mr. Rapeljea, informed of the fact that he had jast received from Washington, the warrant for the delivery ef Mrs. Gilmour into ithe bands of Mr. MeKay, the police officer who ap- prehended heron herarrivalhere. She will accord- ingly be conveyed home {or trial. The cese is thus definitely settled, and becomes a precede nt in all fu. ture similar cases. Proaress or Surcicat Screnck in New Yorx.— A case occurred the other day which is remarkably illustrative of the rapid progress of surgical ecience in this region, and the singular tact and dexterity whieh some professors of the scalpel manifest, as well in operating oa the minds as the corporeal car- casses of their fortunate patien‘s. For the benetit of the present generation, and the races which are to come, and actuated by the purest anxiety to give all due publicity to the triumphs of an important science, we will give this case a place in our chronicles of the times. An Irish laborer who had been employed! on the Croton equeduet, and Jost his health, whether from hard work and§ihe miasmata of the swamps on the upper part of the Island, or devotion to the bottle, we are not informed, applied for advice to a tole- rably well known surgeon and physician, who hangs outa shingle in a very respectable street in this good city. ‘* What’s the matter with you, my good fellow?” asked the Doctor, in a tone in which condescension and dignity seemed to struggle for the supremacy. ‘*Troth, your Honor, ] came to you to fiad out that,” said the invalided Hibernian. “* Show me your tongue,” said the Doctor. “‘ Here it is," said the Irishman, and he thrust the rebel or- gan out of his mouth, till he got black in the face, while the surgeon stared at it through a pair of gold barnacles with an air of the most profound mystery. “Now let me fee] your pulse,” continued the Doctor, and pulling out his watch, he very attentively counted the pulsations. ‘‘ You have got a se- vere pain here,” said Galen, and he poked his fore- finger against the patient’s stomach. ‘“ Yes, your Honor,” said the patient. “ Isa bad case,” said the Doctor, shaking his head. ‘It 18,” repeated the Hibernian, with his eyes considerably well opened. ‘Do you know what’s the mat- tert? asked the Doctor. ‘Anan,’ said the terrified patient Well then,” said the doctor, looking as grave as an owl—'* my poor man, [ must tell you, that the palate of your stomach isdown!” ‘Good God!” exclaimed the poor Irish man, “youdon’t say so, doctor—oh! musha, ’m a dead man!” “Oh! no,” said the doctor, with an encouraging smile. ‘“‘Oh! no—I can cure you.” “Oh! the blessing of the Virgin and—” broke in the Irishman. “ILow much money have you got?” asked the doctor, cutting short the pious aspirations of his patient. The Irishman’s countenance teil somewhat, as he replied—“’ve got a dollar,sir, and three smallj childher.” ‘* Well,” said the doctor, rising and looking very stern, “if you bring me five dollars I'll put the palate of your stomach in its place—but you'd better get it done soon if you wish to live any time.” ‘The Irishman staggered home as well as he could and related the doctor's opinion to his wife. “Well Pat,” said she, with the ready devotion of her sex and her country, ‘‘1’ll get the five dollars.” She started that day,and with a child in her arms begged for afortuight ull she collected the doctor’s fee. The poor Irishman then returned to the doctor’s of- fice—paid down the money—and the doctor, with an infinite deal of ceremony, deliberately proceeded to make an inc‘sion‘on the chest of his victim, from the sternum to the ensiform cartilage—cutting, of course, only the skin. A few straps of adhesive plaister were then placed oa the wound, and the pa- tient dismissed With the consolaiory ussurance, de- livered with a gracious smile, that he was now quite well, and ‘‘the palate of his stomach returned to its proper place.” ‘This is the veritable report of jarecent case. {t is not to be found, however, ia “the Journals.” But it is too good to belost. ‘‘ There are more things in Heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio.” Nort# Carorina Conciesstonat Exgction.—The returns are not yet complete from North Carolina, but those we have received authorise us tosum up as follows:—Elected, J. J. McKay, democrat; A. H. Arrington, democrat; Kenneth Rayner, whig. The Raleigh and Halifax districts are somewhat doubtful, but we think General Saunders and J. J. Danie! (both democrats) are elected. New Yoru CLeanskp BY THE LATE DgLuGE.— We have now had a six day’s rain, and our streets are washed clean. It may appear incredible to those travellers who inspected our thoroughfares a fortnight since, but we assure them it isa fact. The gutters are so destitute of filth and garbage, that scarcely a solitary hog is to be met with. Vegeta- tion of all kinds has been greatly benefited by the copious outpouring of the * windows of heaven,” and the organ of the Fourierites has been puiting forth additional excrescen Disastrous Errect or Tue Lats Heavy Rains.— A gentleman just arrived from Greenwich Point, Stanford, Conn., informs us that the late rains com- mitted awful havoc amongst the poultry in that vici- Five promising chickens and three geese which had just attained respectable maturity, who had taken shelter under a brush near his residence were drowned. A great many gcese got a good ducking in our streets yesterday, but we have not heard of any being utterly extinguished. Skat or Government in Canapa.—lt is now re- reported that this long agitated question, will be re- ferred tothe decision cf the Legislative Council. Since the unien of the Provinces, the preponderat- ing power will be decided by the members, return- ed from either of the provinces. Those of the up- per contending against the interests of the lower— or vice versa. Parliament are expected to meet for the despatch of business, about the middle of September. Deatu or Dar. Aprain.—Robert Adrain, LL. D., formerly Professor of Mathematics of Columbia College in this city, died early yesterday morning at New Brunswick, in the 68th year of his age.— The cause of his death 1s attributable to a conges- tion of the brain. He will be buried this day at 1 o'clock P.M. Dr. Adrain, as is well known, was possessed of extraordinary powers of mind. As a mathematician, when in the full vigor of his intel Jectual faculties, he stood unsurpassed in this coun- try. Nathaniel Bowditch, now also deceased, whe was his intimate friend, and who could appreciate the abilities of others, always epoke of those of Dr. Adrain in the most exalted terms. But Dr. Adrain was not distinguished only for his vast researches in mathematical science. He was also a fine classic scholar, and a man of general literature. As to his conversational powers, they were of a very high order. Those who knew him ean bear testimony to his wonderful fund of anecdote, and frequent sal- lies of wit. Bisnor Hvenes.—The Bishop occasionally says some “good things,” which ought not to die. On Janding at Liverpool, his trunks were subjected to examination by the custom honse officers, and a quantity of snuff, which some friend had provided, was discovered. The Bishop was obliged to pay about $4 of duty. ‘ You must pay this in honor of the Queen,” said the oflicer with an efficial grin— “For which,” quickly returned the Bishop, “I should like to give her majesty a pinch.” c~ The United States tloop of war Decatur, Commander Abbott, bound to the coast of Africe, went to sea on Friday morning. Nigeexs” in Canava.—The Virginia Minstrels everybody has heard or desired to hear, with the singular music which they produce from their bone instruments. Their fame hasgone intoCanada, and their anticipated arrival with the great equestrian company of Rockwell and Stone, throughout the Upper Province, was hailed with a strange enthusi- asm. Some short time since the agent of Messrs. Rockwell end Stone, who usually precedes the company some days for the purpose of hiring ground for the erection of the Pavillion, but more especially to procure a licence from the supreme official or “select men” of the town in which the exhibition is to be given, made his call for that purpose upon the Mayer ef Toronto, who is, no doubt, a liberal of the first water in that loyal Province. The dignified civic official, knowing as all do know, the re- spectability of the equestrian company for which the application was made, consented to give the licence, but to the astonishment of the agent, a condition was imposed which would de- tract greatly from the interest of the performances. The trath was, the ‘ Virginia Minstrels” were to be placed under a ban—their music was to be sus- pended, or as many bar rests introduced as would give them time to get to the next place of exhibi- tion, and their dances were to be regular break- downs, or tobe brokendown. “ You may ridicule the Irish if you please, ”fsaid his worship, graciously, “but I will not allow any exhibition which shall mimic the nogroes—poor inoffensive citizens. I have no objection to burlesques of the Scotch, or the En- glish ; and either John Bull or Sawney can afford much amusement, but the colored population shall not be travestied.” Well, what could be done 1— The agent had no alternative but to take the licence with such restrictions, for the route was arranged, and the troupe on its way. At the appointed time, the company arrived, the pavillion was erected, the performances commenced, and the audience came —and they came in myriads ; but great was their disappointment, for there were no ‘* Vir- ginia Minstrels” Murmurs were heard, but the managers were held blameless, for an inhabitant of Toronto, who was cognizant of the truth, had betrayed the secret. The population gotexcited—they called upon the managers to pro- duce the Virginia Minstrels, and undertook to hold them harmless; the managers, however, were un- willing to do aught which would appear like a defi- ance of the authorities, and therefore they com- promised the matter—the Virginia Minstrels ap- peared in check pants, white roundabouts, and with clean faces, and thus they gave their musiv, and sang ‘Dance, boatman dance,” and other songs of a like character, to the infinite delight of the Pro- vincials, and without a violation of the injunction of the sapient Mayor of Toronto. A Cwance ror Literary Loarers —A circular has recently been issued by the University of the State of Missouri, to which our anxiety to procure bread and butter for the numerous starving men of letters in these regions, induces us to give addition- al publicity. The curators of the institution have organized five protessorships, embracing ethics, metaphysics, mathematics, classical studies, and the natural sciences. The object of the curators, in announcing this fact to the public, is to invite appli- cations from literary men for the supply of these va- cancies—-the elections to take place on or before the first Wednesday of September next. The Se- minary’s fund of $100,000 is invested in capital stock of the State Bank of Missouri. One sixth of the dividends will furnish the salary of each profes- sor, provided that said sixth does not exceed $833 per annum, although in addition to this, five dollars for each scholar will be appropriated to each salary. The University is situated at Columbia, Boon coun- ty, near the centre of the State; it will be peculiarly under the patronage of the Legislature, and its future prosperity must be commensurate with the progress of the State in population, wealth and intelligence. Temperance Pic-Nic Parties.—We do not know any more agreeable mode of advancing the good cause of temperance than by these delightful pie-nie parties which are so fashionable just now at Boston. They give the ladies—always the most efficient friends of any cause—ample opportunities of exer- cising all their powers of persuasion, and « Irresistible eloquence of eyes.” As soon as the rainy season, which has just set in has terminated, it is contemplated to get up a num- ber of pic-nics on the temperance plan here. ““Woopman Spark THat Tree !”—One of the most interesting objects in this city is the venera- ble pear-tree at the corner of Thirteenth sireet and the Thira Avenue. It is at least two hundred and fitty years old, and was imported from Holland by the renowned Governor Stuyvesant. It still flour- ishes in all the glory of its green old age, aud doubt- Jess will long outlive the present generation of Go- thamites. Tt is guarded with religious care by its present proprietor, Mr. Snyder, who very kindly presented us yesterday with a few of the pears which itproduces. We were profane enough to eat one, and can vouch for the delicacy and richness of the fruit. Thank Heaven, the good old tree, is not the only vestige of the first settlers of “ New Amster- dam!” Ratroap and Steampoat Acctpewr.—Every body knows that the verdict after these catastro- phes, uniformly is, “no one isto blame.” Afiera recent blow-up on the western waters, a survivor, who hailed from the land of wooden nutmegs and other “‘ notions,” proposed the following yery judi- cious resolutions :— Resolved, That nobody’s to blame but the biler. Resolved, That the biler knew better than tew go on a bust. . Resolved, That we reckon it got just about what it deserved for blowin’ up in such @ (scowrageous manner. Tne Lemion Canas..—On Saturday last, the water inthe Lehigh Canal was drawn off entirely, and all the laborers discharged. So that the connection with the mines at Mauch Chunk and its vicimty is entirely cut off. It is said that the civil and military authorities of Easton, steadily refuse to interfere, and thus the mob of boatmen are enabled to hold their position against any force which the company may be able to send against them. iG By pestscript to the Toronto Herald of the 7th we find that the jury on the death of Thomas Skinner and his housekeeper, Nancy Montgomery, returned a verdict of “ wilful murder” against James McDermott, for the former, and the same verdict against James MeDermot and Grace Marks in the latter case. McGitt Cortece, Monregat.—From the Cana. da papers we learn that the McGill College, Mon real, will open on the 6th of September, for the Ma- triculation of candidates for the beuefits of the great bequest many years past, designed for such an institution, but which by litigation, has not come into operation in the hands of the Governors, unti of late. From Sr. Croix.—By the brig Hyder Ali, ten days from St. Croix, West End, we learn that the small pox was raging in some portions of the island toa great extent. Freights were dull. Te Trat or Dowoen at Wastixaton.—This case oc- cupied the whole of Tuesday (second day). Mr. Berret underwent a very long examination and crost-cxamina- tion, which occupied part of two days—Monday ard Tuesday. Mr. Nourse, chief clerk of the Registers of fice, was next examined. This witness was a clerk of thirty yeur’s standing. Mr, Berryman,a clerk in the ‘Treasury Department, and Mr, Thomas L. Smith, Regi ter of the Treasury, were calied to prove the forgeries to dethe hend writing of Dowden, and other matters in con: | Bexion with the cancellation of the T’ Hack, bar keeper at Boulanger's, prove ed a between Dowden and the negro, Fie! wien’ sa Fielder Robi the transfer of a piece of paper from the Aesssip pr ter ; also thot the negro subsequently returned end hon. ded some money to Dowden. Various other witnesses gave testimony, by which the opening statement of United States Attorney appeared to be sustained. Ti case Was proceeding at our Jast advices, ‘Treasury notes. Mr. City Intelligence. Tux Aunest or tHe Accomrtice oy THE Rounens or THE Lono Istanp Banx Porten.—The exclasive report of the interesting particulars connected with the arrest of William Rushworth, in Philadelphie, as contained in the Herald of yesterday, excited considerable interest | throughout the business community, and particularly among the several banking institutions of our city. Affidavits were made yesterday at our police by Mr. Samuel Shaw, who received the $1000 note from Rush- | werth to deposite, as also by the Cashier of the Long Island Bank, on which a requisition will be granted to bring Rushworth to this city for trial. It is not believed that he was a participator in the actual robbery, but from having possession of the stolen $1000 note, there is no doubt of his knowledge of the guilty parties, and unless he canmake proper account fer such possession, stats prison must be his resting place for a season. Mr. Sumuel Shaw is entitled to much praise, for his promptitude in giving information that led to the arrest of Rushworth, and to him ajone is full credit due for rendering such essential service to the bank and the community. He be came casually acquainted with Rushworth but a few | weeks since, while the latter was on a visit to this city, and it is a fortunate result for the bank that the stolen note had fallen intothe hands of an honest and conscientious man, whose étation in society will render his testimony 40 conclusive as to secure conviction, Should reward be tendered, which we believe, oftered at the time of the robbery, aservice of plate should be presented to him by the bank oh the conviction of the arrested party. ‘A Patnior in Distagss.—An elderly man, named Holly Green, aresident of Westchester county, known os an ac- | tive veteran among the Americen troops at the memors- ble battles of Luni ay's Lane, Chippewa and Buffalo, made | application at the Upper Police office yesterday tor shel. ter from the storm, and food to nourish a erring body: He stated that he had anplied at the Alms House for aid, but being a resident of Westchester county, the rules of the institution prevented him from receiving it. He was taken care of by the humane keeper of the Upper Police and will be sent back to his own county. ‘Truly may he exclaim “ Republics is ungrateful.” Raw Roap Accipenr —A collision touk place between two trains of cars on the Harlem rariroad in the upper part of the city yesterday, which terribly frightened the men, women and chi passengers, but in- jured nobody nor nothing,save ths wood work of the cars. ‘An olderly gentleman, whose name we could not leari in stepping from one of the cars accidentally caught on of his tect in one of the wheels and was severely injured | Common Coun Boanp or ALpexmeyn—Thurs. man Purdy, President, in the chair. Boring Water Pipis.—A petition from D.B. Taylor, of- fering to bore the Croton water pipes for thirty per cent less than the present cost, was referred to the Croton Aqueduct Committee. Retrenchment Bill,—Alderman Waterman called up the report of the Finance Committee on the communication of the Comptroller relative to the present state of the ap. | propriations and a reduction of the expenditures of the city government. Alierman Purpy said he thought the selection of a small few of those holding office, inorder to make a re- duction of their salaries, wat entirely too partial, as among them he perceived many of the most humble in the gift of the corporation. af tuch a movement is to be | gust 10th—Alder- made, he hop:d the committee would review the whole | body of persons holding office, and not mark out a select | few for that purpose. Alderman Wari an said that as several of the appro PI ing, it was necessary that some ac | tion should be taken atonce, Alderman Lee was in favor of separating the appropri- ations trom the reduction of salaries, as he was ready to vote for any necessary appropriation desired, but was not 80 ready to support the remainder of the ordinance. The reyort and ordinance was then read, aud the fol- lowing sections adopted :— Sxe. 1. No officer employed by the Corporation under a fixed salary, shail hereafter be entitled to any extra com. pensation for any extra services, which he shall be re- uired to perform by any reselution or ordinance ef the Sommon Council, Board of Supervisors, or Bi Health; unless provision is expressly made by s solution or ordinance far such extra compensation. Sec.2. All bills hereafter rendered for services and to the Corporation, for which no rate of com- all be established by law, shall be audited for like services and uals, an Pynpy moved that the following section be Sec. 3. The offices of Deputy Health Wardens are hereby abolished, and the duties heretofore performed by such officers shall hereafter devolve upon the Street In- spectors ef the several wards. Alderman Sco.rs moved that the ordinance be laid on the table. Alderman Emmans said that the aholishment of the cfiices of Health Wardens, with a salary of $100 per vear, was beginning at the little endof the stick. He was for | taking hold ot the big end, d commencing upon more important reforms, by making a general movement for retrenchment. Alderman Purny raid he was opposed to the abolish- ment of the office of Health Warden in his Wai e | knew his constituents would not sanction it Alderman Lee expressed a similar’opinion, | The motion to strike out was adopted by the follow. | irg vote:—Ayes, Alderman Martin, Emmans, Pardy, | Waterman, Brevoort, Rawson and Lee—7 Nays, Alder- man Nash, Brady und Scoles—3. ‘Moe following, ym was then taken up: — i Src. 4. The ceived by the Keeper of the City Prison shall hereafter be teken and accounted for by him as part of his salary, as allowed by law; andif the fees so | eived by him shall not be equal to the amount of such | ry, he shall only be entitled to receive from the Cor- | poration the amount of such deficiency. Alderman Exmans moved to strike out this section. ‘Alderman Puroy objected; he said that he thought the Common Council had the power to fix this salary, and it | it isnot enough, he was in favor of iccreasing it, but he | thought the fees should be psid into the public treasury. Alderman Lr: id he was decidedly Ce tere to the i five or se- and the responsivu.... of the office svere ao great thet this amount was not more than sufi- cient. Aldermen Scores and Watensan advocated the adop tion of the section. The motion to strike was lost by a vote of 4to6. Al dermen Martin, Emmans, Purdy and Lee in the affirma tive. Aldermen Nash, Waterman, Brevoori, Scoles, Bra | dy and Rawson in the negative. ‘The section was then adopted by the same vote. Alderman Puapy stated previous to his vote, that he | was impelledto oppose the section because he thought that under the State law the sheriff would claim the fees, and he should therefore move for a reconsideration, if in | the majority, in order te obtain a legal opinion. Alderman Waterman stated that the counsel ef the Board had given a legal opinion, assenting to the position of the committee. The following section was then adopted :— Sec. 5. In all purchases of oil hereafter to be made, no price shall be paid for casks, but the same shall be return- ed to the persons from m such oil shall be purchased, and in all bills for oil an express allowance shail be tor casks returned, and all estim: d contracts shall | be made with reference to such nce for returned cas! ‘The succeeding section was then taken up:— er of the Water Board, Inspector of Pavements, es, and Assistant to the Board of Health, are hereby abolished. Alderman Ler opposed the abolishing the ottice of En- gineer of the City Prison, cs he believed a boiler-bursting- blow-up would follow, and destroy the court room of the | Gen rai Sessions, esit was placed above ths engine. gineer, and therefore he moved to Steward of the Pri.on in the place of engineer. ‘This motion was adopted, and the section then passed, with two dissenting voices. ‘The following section was then taken up : Sze. 7. The Attorney tothe Corporation shall be enti- tled to receive from the city treasury, only the sum of two thousand dollars por annum, besides the clerk hire as allowed to him by law; and which shall be in full forall services performed by him for and in behalf of the Corpo- ration. Aldermen Emmans moved to strike out, which was lost by a vote of 5 to 5—Aldermen Martin, Emmons, Purdy, | Rawson and Lee in the affirmative, and Aldermen Nash, Waterman, Brevoort, Sceles and Brady in the negative, Alderman Scores moved to lay this section on the table, which was lost by a vote of 4 to 6. Aldermen Lee moved to strike out and lay on the table, which was adopted by a vote of 6 to4. The following section was then taken up:— Src.8. The salaries of the following officers are here- by fixed and limited at the following amounts, that is to say:— mended Present ‘salai $700 00 per an, $150 bi 20 00 For the first Clerk to the Street Com’ Clerk 6000) 1,500 00 600 00 60000 600-00 3 1,000.00 1,200 00 Snperi 750 00 800 00 Keeper of 12%prday 1 50 ‘ Battery Yee 10 ‘ Square, 125 150 Washington Square, 125 150 Tompkins Square, 1 .* 150 Alderman Emmans moved to lay on the table, which was adopted. | The following section was then called up :— 8c. 9.

"Ene indictment wasthen read to the jury, with the ex- ception of the third and fourth coun which were nol d the preceding day, because they ‘were not accom- ed, like the otuers against W. and B., wi h charges ps } “gle Skinner as accessory, in opening the case for the prosecution, Mr, Hunting- ton said under the name of financiering, it had become a reguiar businessjeven with men ot high tanding in the commnaite to cheat, to defraud, to steal. In the case at the bar,the whole property—the entire capital of the Puenix Bank hae been fraudulently appropriated by the defendants, through the means of conummate contri- vance and long continued and singularl, deception. The bank was chartered in 1932, with a capital of $150, 009, with Wyman as cashier. In 1836 the capital was in- creased to $300,000, and Wyman was made president,with a salary of $2000 per annum, which, in 1838, was raised to $3000, in consequence of a Joud ca 1 which he had re- ceived from a Boston bank. The stockhelders fully assen- ted to this increase, with the express understanding tht he should devote his time and talents to the interests and concerns of the bank. They supposed they were dealing with an honest man ; and they placed that confidence in him which the business of life requires that man should placein his fellow In the same manner was Brown | trusted and confided in—first as ateller, and subsequently a8 acashier, an office which he held up to the moment of the explosion of the bank, about the 1st of October. The booxs had been so kept thatthe most skiliul eccountants were unable to detect the embezzlements as they were committed from time to time. Upto the month of Octo- ber, 1832, there was no suspicion of fraud, or #ven mismanagement. But the defendant did not st that time, nor at any one time, go into the vaults of the bank and take out the $300,000. Wyman began'by small sums —perhapssome $15,000, and thus the entire absorption was a work of time and degrees. Such small sums could be covered up by Mr. Wyman—even $50,000 could be, so great were his resources and high his credit ; but when the defalcation amounted to $390,000, he broke down under it. Yet he proposed, with nothing but trash in the bank, to pay adividend of three per cent from the earning? of the bank for the preceding six months ; and no suspicion was enteriained of him. But Mr. Hurd, adi- rector, intimated a purpose of examining ifsome of the directors had not been allowed to borrow upon too little security, and Mr. Hunnewell followed up the suggestion by saying that the examination would be a very thorough one. Wyman staggered under the announcement; and at last was driven to exclaimn—“ The truth must come out, The bank isruined. The capital of the bank is all one.” we investigation commenced immediately, and Mr. Wyman produced the unpaid notes, unaccepted checks, and overdrawn drafts of Messrs. Stanley, Reed & Co., to the amount of $866,000, only $40,000 of which were se- cured. Some of this paper hed been regularly discount- ed at the board, by the recommendation and advice of Wyman, who represented the firm to be safe, sound and responsible beyond ailquestion. Another portion of the loans to S., R. & Co. had not received the approval of the directors, and had never recorded on the books of the bank. They were generally demand notes, or checks on banks, in which S., R. & Co. had not a dollar on deposite, and Wyman knew there were no funds to mest them,— Hence he never preseuted them for payment, and this he fully, unreservedly confessed to Messrs Hunnewell and Hurd. Here westhe great outlet through which the bank was defrauded. ‘lo prepare for the final crisis Mr. Wyman had unquestionably fabricated papers. The evidence, Mr. Huntington thought, would demonstrate this fabri jon beyond adoubt. That he had exhibited to the directors one statement, containing a special entry of treasury notes, while he handed them another afterwards for signature in which the amount of trea- sury notes was not especially indicatea. In other words he had boldly and adroitly substituted one state. ment for another, and imposed the unsuspecting di rectors, who sighed the fabri atement. ‘This was the April statement iu 1842. now knew that ditco- They very was impending over them, and they made a grab, which scraped the vaults of the bank bare. Between April and October they took over $200,000; between these periods the demand notes of Stanley, Reed & Co. rose to the astounding amount of $25,000. Yet alter the discovery of all this, he f ed to keep the bank open; he proposed to pay the d out of his own pocket, rather than there should be any disappointment in conse- quence of the advertisement announcing the dividend.— By this proposition, he designed to betray the directors into committing themselves by co-operating in an act of consummate deception. Could he have involved the di- rectorsin the final act of this deep drama of fraud, he would have shilted the responsibility of the ulti plosion from his shoulders te theirs. But t! onest men, and promptly rejected the invidious advice, and resolved to stop at once. | period their checks were 'in the PI | 1841, to June, 1-42, showing no balances, | depot f | cashier, and as director an | teller, and afterwards cashier. | might gr Sxc. 6 The offices of Engineer to tho City Prison, Chivf | tion paid at different ti Steward of the Prison was more useless than that of En. | plosion he d nd by inserting | Credit of the | had | mig) | the broken Franklin Bank bill fo | Lxaid tw | supposed found condition of the bank. Mc. Huntington now admitted that Wyman had proba- bly neither committed perjury or forgery, and that he abstained trom issuing statements of the condition of the bank after 1939.

The directors had # meeting on Sunday night, and all, except Get Thompson, were present. Wyman presented a plan for still carrying onthe bank. Mr. Brown was also of opinion that the bank need not stop. Mr. Wymoen suid it would be unsafe forthe bank to stop—the banking house would be torn down, and the houses ot the directors be attacked. Mr. y' id he would not remain in the town an hour if the bank was closed en Monday ; that our lives would be indanger.

Mr. Wyman put uj real estate enough to secure his indebtedness to the bank on his own paper in the bank. According to Wyman’s estimate, there was nominal se. curity for S., R, & Co.’s paper to the spparent amount of $32,900, but he wasof opinion that not more han $10,000 could be realised upon it. Mr. Brown also made out a statement of notes becoming due, evidence of the bank’s probable resources.

Late at night the meeting broke up, and reassembled after caylignt on Monday morning. Mr. Wyman was sentfor. The?ecision to remove the effects of the bank was communicatcd to him. The removal was to save them from being stolen or destroyed in apy riotous out- bree.

The defence, conducted by Wm. ler, Esq., called the mother of the accused, and Mary Hart, the sister of his wife, to prove that at and abont the period that the larceny wes committed, the accused was confined to his house by sickness. ? ° The Recorver charged, that the witness Isaacs, might have been mistaken as to the recognition of the accused, as it was seven months alter he received the goods before he identified him.

Otficer Collins testiffed that he arrested the aceused from a cription given him by Mr. Lee, when he was fully iden- tified asthe percon seen in the store. The detence offered no testimony, but contended that a part of the store being occupied only as a sleeping apartment, the offence could not be classified as burglary in the first degree. ‘The Reconper charged that fhe offence was not bur- ‘lary inthe first degree, asthe store entered was not a f af house in the meaning of the statute, no more le would be if an bostler had slept therein. rnict Atroawey dissented from the opinion of the Court, and contended that any place wherea man slept wes his dwelling, even if it was a dog house, and therefore the offence burglary in the first degree. He cited the case of Ishmael Frezer, convicted and exe. cuted for arson in the first degree for setting fire to a car- in which a person slept, and challenged the athe court to produce a single decision to the counsel an contrary. ‘The jury, after a short absence, returned a verdict of guilty of burglary in the third degree, and the court sen- tenced him to the state prison for three years Another Touch Case.—A brown skinned woman named Mary Conklin, was arraigned for triel on a charge of grandlorceny, in stealing $49,485 from a young man named George Halpin, on the night of the 24th of Jaly.

J., thousands of persons have used Dr. Sher- man’s Poor Man’s Plaster for pain and weskness in the back, rheumati«m and lumbage, and have found it the best strengtheniog plaster in the world. Physicians re- commend this plester in preference to every other one, not only bs sause it gives it relief, but also because it sticke better than any ter in use. When worn on the lower part of the aping, it is an effectual remedy for piles, and when applied to the small of the back in fe- mules, is an excellent remedy for falling of the womb. Be careful and get the genuine article with Dr. Sherman’s name and fac simile printed on the back of the plaster. All others are spurious and will de more hurt than good. ‘The sale of the genuine article has been so great that it is not strange that unprincipled persons should attempt to palm off an imitation upon the community, but it is in vain. No plaster has ever yet been made that will give quicker relief, end consequentiy those who have been taken in with the spurious article once, have soon found out their mistake, and always afterward go either to Dr Sherman’s warehouse, 106 Nassau street, er to his regular agents, 110, 973, 459 and 601 Broadway, 10 Astor House, 227 Hudson street, 188 Bowery, 77 East Broadway, 86 William street, and 139 Fulton street, Brooklyn.
