NW YORK HERALD. New York, Friday, August 18, 1843, ———SSo———ESESEE The First Shot for the Presidency—Calhoun Stock on the Rise- Strange Results, The ward meetings of the Democratic party to select delegates te Tammany Hall, to choose others torepresept them in the Syracuse State Conven- hon, were held last evening, and the result will as- tonish many who supposed that Calhoun stock was entirely below par in this city. First Ward—In this ward the contest appeared in some meusure to be a personal matter. Mr. Assis- tant Alderman Charlick headed one ticket, and Mr. Nicholl, the other, both profeasedly strongly tinetur- ed with Van Bureaism, though the Nicholl ticket was subrosa understood to have an inclination the other way. The Nicholl ticket was elected, as iol- lows:—Henry Nicholl, william L. Lockwood, and David Kelly. The voting presented an exceedingly singular ap- pearance. A gentleman,by courtesy designated the “Chairman,” stood upon a table and received the tickets in his hat—two or three talley clerks took the names or the assumed names of the voters, and some forty or fifty true demecrats, who appeared to possess nothing uncommon, filled up the remain- ing space of two small rooms thrown into one, at number forty-eight Broad street, fer this special occasion. The room itself was so hot that thermometers were Useless, for they could not get high enough to designate the true state of the atmo- sphere ; ove talley clerk boasted a huge and killing display of whiskers, and amidst the amber tints of the “‘lady killers,” the perspiration stood in drops that resembled the dew in the grass on a fine frosty morning ; and the huge-paws who constituted the entire meeting, were sweltering in sweat. The room iteelf resembled an oblong oven, and it was really the warmest meeting, we ever attended. As one man ajgroached the table to vote, an elderly democrat challenged him on the ground that he was a Whig, but it was admitted that couversions could be instantaneons, and he passed muster. Another succeeded, who had evidently seen ser- vice. “Jim Brown,” said the challenger, “what's the nomination of Martin Van Buren, consisting of John 1. Morgan, Abram Cook, and Benj. F. Butler, was chosen, and one yotegiven for a Tyler dele- gate. Tn the Sixteenth Ward, the Van Buren delegates were chosen without much opposition. {fo the Seventeenth the same result, the Cathoun men receiving 41 votes to 228. The district svatem was recommended. In this contest it will be seen that five wards have openly declared in tavor of Calhoun, that is the 3d, 4th, 6th, 14th, and 7th, while nine are as open for Van Buren, consisting of the 2d, 8th, 10h, 1th, 12th, 13th, 15:h, 16th, and 17th, and the Ist, 9:h, and 5th doubttul. It wil also be seen that the name of John Tyler was not brought in any way into the seve- ral meetings,and that not asingle Tyler delegate was chosen. Should the delegates from the lst, 5th and 9th be Calhoun men, the vote in the county cou- vention will stand—for Van Buren 28, Calhoun 21— and asthe maiority have the choice, it 1s easily to beseen what will be the result. ‘Tue Oregon Question.—This question, we may depend upon it, will cause a good deal of trouble before itbe settled. Its importance cannot be ex- aggerated. The possession of the territory by this country is essential to our security, and every day is adding to the necessity of having the matter de- cided. We think that this question is somewhat neglected just now, and that the public mind should be kept thoroughly aroused with respect to its vital importance. The prospect of the rapid settlement of the territory by emigrants from the States, afforded encourage- ment to hope that in a short time tolerably effectual barriers to British encroachment would be erected. But this was, of course perceived by the British government, and the policy was immediately adopt- ed of operating on the Hudson Bay Company, so as through their agency to prevent immigration. It ia well known that this has been successtul to a great extent. Now, surely, it is full time that decisive steps should be taken to secure the speedy and per- manent settlement of this great national question. If the subtle policy of Great Britain be allowed to operate much longer, it will not be +0 easy for us to your uame now?” “ Joho Jones,” replied the voter, with the utmost jinperturbability. ** Why, you've voted ibree times already” ‘Oh, you shut up,” was the reponse, aud the votewas taken A tall and dignitied persounge next presented himself, aud was challenged on the ground that hie vote was “anony- mous.” The voter was siruck speechless with as tonishment at the singularity of the objection, but when he recovered his perts of speech. he used them ia a way not very conplimentary to the eyes, and ipteliect of the asviduous challenger, Thus the voting progressed until uine o'clock, many being chellenged on the ground that they belonged to the Fourteenth, end aot to the First Ward; indeed, very few First Warders appeared to take any interest in the matter—many having voted and gone out at one door, returued through another and voted again--and then it was moved and seconded, and carried by acclamation, that the poll should close at the expiration of ten minutes. Three minutes and an eighth having elapsed, by the same wanimous vote it was determined that the ten minues had expired, and the polls were final- ly closed, {though some other polls were open- ed; or, in plain phraseology, some heads were cracked by quarrelsome rival politicians. And then ensued a scene which we would,descnbe if we knew how. Mr. Alderman Charlick wished to present a series of resolutions to instruct the elected delega- tion to vote for Martin Van Buren, but the Alder- man and his resolution were treated with con- temptuous and obstreperous rudeness ; and aseries of resolutions offered by Mr. McCullom were adopted in favor of the district system of representa- tion inthe National Convention, and thus ended the election of delegates in the First Ward, which ‘we may say in conclusion, was not very flattering to Mr. Van Buren, if such a meeting can be taken as expressing the public sentiment of the Ward. In the Second Ward, the Van Buren party pre- vailed without much difficulty. Two tickets were run, one professedly Van Buren and the other Cal- houn, but singularly enough, two if not the entire three names on the Calhoun ticket, were those of full blooded Van Burenites. There may have been some ruse in this; we do not pretend to say there was, but the fact may speak for itself. The follow- ing were the delegates chosen:—S. Waterbury, A. Kating, and P. Riley. The two to mer were on the the original Van Buren ticket, and the latter on the Calhoun, he being substituted fer Johnson, who was scratched. Matty therefore secures this district. Ia the Third Ward an Anti-Van Buren, a Custom House, and a District System ticket was elected, as assert and maintain our right of sovereignty. Strange Notion azout THE IMMORALITY OF THE Press.—A fellow was put on trial the other day in the Boston Municipal Court, for stealing from a house of il! fame. Mr. Parker, the Government prosecuting officer, commenced his remarks to the jury in the following extraordinary mauner :— “Teongratulate you, gentlenien of the jury, that there are no reporters tor the public press present. I think that these renorts tend to a Jaxity in public morals ; no good can come from them. They have tended as much as any other infl ence to the in- crease of crime in this jurisdiction.” We are not certain of the moon’s age when this 849 opiuion was dehvered, but it is manilest that Mr. Parker’s head must have been under some dis- turbing influence or other. It is really astonishing to find a man, with any pretensions to commoy sense and experience making such silly assertions. Every one knows, except this Mr. Parker, that the publication of the names and offences of criminals operates in the majority of instaaces as the severest punishment on the guilty parties, whilst the effects of the example are extended throughout the com- munity. But we should be sorry to occupy any space in exposing the absurdity and silliness of Mr. Parker’s opinions about the management of the public press. Revorm oF THE Fine Derantment.—We are de- termined that this matter shall not be lost sight of. The late fatal affray between two “ runners” at- tached to one of the companies, is only a specimen of the necessary operation of the present system. It is impossible to calculate the vast amount of crime of all sorts which has its origin in these fire compa- nies, as at present organised. Every respectable member of the department—and we know that there are many such—is desirous that the work of reform should be commenced. In Baltimore the members of the companies have organised a police force, se- lected from their own ranks, and we believe that this plan of preserving order and increasing the effi- ciency of the department, has been found to work well. How would it do here? Brivcerort, Connecticut.—This place hasbeen unsettled some time by the city bond question, the courts having decided that the city is liable. Those who were the most noisy and clamorous for the debt to be contracted, and the bonds to be given, are now equally noisy against their payment, and they threaten to carry up the case to the U.S. Su- preme Court. They may, however, save themselves that trouble, and the consequent expense, for a number of “‘ nice young men” have argued and set- follows :—William H Jansen, Patrizk G. Moloney and Charles Gallagher. It was, however, whispered that Jansen was Buren man without adulteration. In the Fourth Ward the meeting assembled at the Shakepeare, in a lower room, and Medad Platt was called to the chair by a unan’mous vote, but as soon as the other officers were selected and it was ascertained by the Van Buren men that the remain- ing officers and tellers were Calhoun or anti Van Buren, they bolted, and moved an adjournment up stairs, which was lost. The Van Buren men then weot up stairs, while the large body of the meeting remained below and gave 518 votes for their dele gates, Medad Platt, Joseph Murphy and Thomas D Bickford, all of whom avowed themselves anti- Van Buren men atthe meeting. Three cheers were given for Calhoun, and the ineeting adjourned. Io the Fifth Ward, Lewis P. Clover was celecied as President of the meeting, and Andrew Lester and E. B Hart, Vice Presijente Being Calhoun men. thisl-howed the sirength of the meeting, and no sooner was the ballotirg for delegates com- menced than the hat containing thein was instaatly filled by persons torowing handfuls of tickets into it. Several attempts at order were made, but being unsucceseful, the meeting was finally adjourned io Monday next, when a day ballot will be had. Tn the Sixth Ward Wm Shaler, John Foot and Jon Gehraty,avowed Calhoun and Anti-Van Buren men, were elected delegates by over two hnadred majority. Renry E hiell, De. AF Vache and Jotun McMahon were on the Van Buren ticket.— Every thing went off quietly here Ia the Seventh Ward John Murphy and Bartlett Smith, Calhoun delegates, were chosen, end John J. Ciscoe, Van Buren, by nbout sixty majority Re- solutions were also passed in favor of the district system. In the Eight Ward the ticket in favor of Martin Van Buren, end baving the selection of the candi- date directly by the people, composed of John Spaf- ford, Peter Crawford and James Connor was elect- ed. Resolutions also passed in favor of the district system ~ In the Ninth ward the Van Buren men, contrary to the call of Tammany Hall, held aday ballot and at might carried off the ballot boxes. The Calhoun, Cass and Tvler men, met at 8 o'clock, and after considerable riot, noise and confusion, elected dele- gates of their own choosing, and passed resolu- tions in favor of the district system. To the Tenth Ward the resolutionsin favor of the district system were defeated, and those in favor of Van Buren adopted. After considerable clawing, pulling and hauling, order was restored, and the Van Buren delegates declared elected In the Eleventh Ward the same result with less disorder. In the Tweifth Ward the Van Buren delegates were chosen In the Thirteenth the district system was defeat- ed, and Van Buren delegates chosen by 883 ma- jority, there being 244 votes polled In the Fourteenth Ward the mames of Calhoun and Van Buren were fairly pat to the meeting, and the Calhoun delegates, composed of Daniel B. Tay. lor, John Collins and James Fagan elected by over 100 majority over John Bloodgood, John F. Gray and Richard J, Wilson, on the Van Buren ticket. Jn the Fitteenth Ward the ticket favorable to tled the matter in the Lyceum lecture room of Bridgeport. Courts will now become obsolete, for all legal, and indeed all other matters, can be set- tled more economically by these young debaters. Some of these societies have decided some funny questions in their day. Granp Batt at THE BeLmont House, New Brien- Ton.—Mr. Pieris, the enterprising proprietor of this establishment, is making preparations on an exten” sive scale to give another grand ball on Friday eve- ning next. The one given last Friday was magnifi- cent—the splendid band wasstationed on the piazz:, where they performed some of their most beautiful wal zes, marches and quadrilles, which made the air resound with their delightful music The house was barely able to accommodate all that were pre- sent The ladies looked lovely, and brass buttons shiced extensively The one to be given next Fri- day will be more magnificent with sparkling eyes. benutitul girls. and plenty of flirtation.

Nisto’s —Last night Gabriel Ravel’s benefit was crowded to excess; this evening the Ballet Panto- mime of Monsieur Dechalumeau, in which Gabriel eustains the character of “ Roquinet,” is to be given. This is a highly diverting ballet as represented by the Ravels; then comes the never-tiring Harlequin Pantomime of Mazulme, in which the whimsical Antoine plays the Clown, gets blown up in the air, crushed by a mill-stone, rebs the market women, and like Jemmy Twitcher “ steals and sucks eggs.” En passant, why does not John Sefton give us the Golten Farmer? His “‘vell vot ov it,” has always been one of the most amusing perfermances, and certainly the most attractive he could produce at the Garden. Cuatuam Tueatre.—Two beautiful plays are to be produced to-night at the Chath im, beth drama- tised from Sir Walter Scott’s works; one being Rob Roy, from the popular novel of that name, and the other the Lady of the Lake, adapted from the beau tiful poem bearing the eame title. Mr. Vandenhoff is to play the partof the outlaw chief, Rob Roy, and J. M. Scott appears as the villain Rashleigh, in the first piece ; and in the latter play, Me.

Miosicut Ropveny, atias ‘Tovcnine” on “Bapore ixc”—Meuinna Hoac—Viers or New YorueA Covn- Tarmon Rosey ano HumpucceD.—The midnight offence of robbing the pockets of old and young lecherous dis: ciples that belong to, orvisitthis city, has become so com- mon an affair, that scarcely a day passes that complaints are not entered at our police offices. The peculiarity of the offence, ard the position ofthe sufterer on its commis- sion is such, that few men have nerve enough to face a Court of Justice to sustain a charge; but to the credit of our Court of Sessions be it said, that no recent case has been prosecuted where the guilty parties have escaped conviction. It is also alleged that fear of publication of names oftentimes deter persons thus robbed from entering complaints at the police offices. No doubt such is the case, and it is with this knowledge that the villains who practice this offence so daringly operate in the crowded thoroughfares and streets of our city. The omis- sion of names of complainants by the public press would serve the cause of justice in these cases, and whenever necessary, will be acceded to on the partof this psper. The following recent case, pre- senting strange and extraordinary peculiarities, and ter- minating in a most singular manner, has induced a full publication of all the particulars, not only that the pub- lic may thus understand the modus operandi of the whole aftair, but that the parties to the transaction may be fully exposed :— On Tuesday last Mr. Isaac Smith, or Isaac D. Smith, a resident of North Salem, Westchester county, in thi State, left his home for this wicked city, and on Wednes day evening, while walking in Greenwich street, w met by t! arch cyprian, Melinda Hoag, and taken to house where she said s! resided, when he became alarmed st the sights he saw in his room, and leaving the house, discovered that his pocket book, containing $30, had been stolen from his pantaloons. He made immedi- ate search for watchmen and police officers, but not be- ing able to find the latter, he applied to Alderman Ti:tov of the Fifth Ward, in which the transaction took place, who drew up the following affidavit at the request ef Smith, which was sworn to as correct :— City and County of New Fork, es. ¢ Smith being duly sworn doth depose and say— that he resides in the northern part of Westchester county —that this evening the deponent meta women in the street which she told him was Greenwich street. She asked the deponent to go with her to her residence in Greenwich street, where she said she lived alone, to stay with her. That the deponent went with her to the second story front room of a house on the west side of the street—that she locked the door and wou!d not go to bed until deponent was undressed—that deponent undressed himself and laid down on the bed, (a bed and bedstead being inthe room)—the deponent laid his clothes on a chair near the loot of the bed—she, the woman, then drew the curtain which surrounded the bedstead as low as below the bed, she first having undressed herself and having got into bed—the deponcat, from her manner, had his suspicions aroused ond hed ro connexion with her—the deponent heard a noise in the room, and took his hand and hove the curtains up, and then discovered a man in a stooping posture, backing out towards the west dooref the room, und he threw the pantaloons of deponent, which he hed taken up, towards the chair, and they fellon the floor. Depo nent said then, What man is that ” and sprung off the bed. be, Did you seea man?” To which de poner ing become’ apprehensive of his personal safety,said “Nos” and then commenced dressing him- self, and on taking up his.pantaloons, discovered his pocket-book was gone. That she got cutof bed and said “ Did yousee aman?” To which deponent suid ‘“ No.” She then asked deponent the occasion of his getting oft thebed. Deponent to thi that he had occasion to go down; and she then sai re was a chamber, and he need not go down; that deponent finally dressed himself and went out; that when deponent went into the room and undressed himself, he had in his pantaisons pocket a pocket-buok con ing several bank bills, amounting to $30 or upwards, which, when he gotout of the bed, and yutting his pantaloons on, he discovered Was gone, and Reaeesn token away by the man who was inthe room; thatthe woman who has been brought tothe watchhouse from said apartment in Greenwich street is the same woman whois above mentioned, and who was in bed with him; that the deponent verily believes that the wo- maa above mentioned, and the two men who have been teken by the watch with her from the apartment in Greenwich street, above mentioned, have been concerned with her in robbing him of ket book, abeve men- tioned; and the said robbery e believes, the result of a previo' jign of the said persons to commit a rob- bery upon him; that the deponent, after leaving the house, came to the watcbhouse, in the balls of justice, and made his complaint to the Captain of the watch, on which the ‘watchman, sent for the purpose, went tothe house, and there found locked in the chamber above mentioned, and the back room adjoining the same, the above mentioned woman, and the two men who have been brought to the watchhouse with her; that after some difficulty and de- lay the door was opened to the watchman, above mentioned were found in the apart tioned; that the deponent answered the woman’s q\ in the negative, as above mentioned, from his being really apprehensive for his personal safety, and wasafraid if he answered otherwise that his life would be endangered. ISAAC SMITH. Sworn the 16th dey of August, 1843, before F.B. Tixov, Ald. 5th Ward, City N. Y. On this affidavit, Melinda Hoag, Alexander Hoag, and Charles itson, were arrested by watchmen at the house wh robbery was committed, and 1 in the watch house, on atemporary commitment by Alder- man Tillou. In the morning the complainant Smith ap- peured against trem, before Justice Stevens, who ordered the parties to be committed under the affidavit, and Smith to nnd bail in the sum of $1000, to answer to appear at courtto prosecute the charge. Smith stated that he was a man of wealth, and would enter into his own recogni- zance to douole that amount; but Justice stevens very properly told him, thet as he was a stranger, and the par- ties implicated were of such a class, he must invist upon his obtaining security in the city tocarry onthe prosecu- tion. Officer Cockefair then procured cab, and went, in company with Smith, to an acquaintance in the upper art of the city, to procure the necessary bail. ‘his ing done, and the bail requested to attend at the police office at 9 o’clock, the two were approaching the cab to return, when officer Cockefair alluded to the fare of the driver, and Smith put in his pocket, and drew outa wallet containing a small sum of money. Cockefair asked if that was the pocket boox that the money had been taken from, when Smith said it was not, as the one taken was of smaller size, he having hadtwo. Cockefair then said he thoug t it rather strange, as he rarely knew a theftof the kind where the pocket book was sto- len, as generally they took the money out end pieces a roll of paper in the wallet and then returned it to the pocket. He therefore advised him to search his pockets thoroughly CEB lo! and behold, the identical wallet with the identical money, was found in the front coat pocket of Mr. Smith, although he thinks the atter noon before thefrobbery he put ittin his pantaloons pocket. This dis being made, officer Cockelair convey- ed the party to the houseof Justice Stevens, who con- sidered the developement so remarkable, that he declined taking any definite action until afull investigation co ld be made at the police office. Nine o’clock having arrived, and the accused parties brought up from the prison, an examination was entered into before Justice Paxxen, he being the sitting Magis- trate, assisted by Mr. Caruenver, Esq., Clerk of Police. Se pe was again called, and made the following affi- davit :— City and County of New York, ss. Isaac Smith being affirmed, states as follows :—That upon examining bis pockets this morning, he finds in his side coat pocket his Book end money, which he sup) was stolen, as set forth in his affidavit Rroncing. ‘That when he lefthome in Westchester county on Tuesd last, he put hia book and money in his pantaloons pock: and did not take it therefrom until yesterday ing4th sti when he took itout and paid some money therefrom, ie unable to say from recollection into which pocket he returned said book and money—was last evening full impressed wit the belief that he had returned it to his antaloons pucket,»nd not findingit there upon rising, @& it ‘or granted that it was stolen, and so reported. That tho book and money now here is the same x he suppo wes stolen as aforesaid. ISAAC D. SMITIT. Sworn before me, Aug. 17, 1943, Min Pank ‘The justice and cierk,tas finding that by some strange and almost unaccountabte circumsance,the accused par 4 managed to escape ‘he meshes of the law, and g that the woiaan, Melinda Hoag, was a common te, nightly engaged in this mean, contemptible e crime of robbing, “touching,” or “badgering,” as it is technically ariled, felt it a duty they owed the public to obtain evidence sufficient to commit her to the Penitentiary as a vagrant, and therefore obtsined the fol- lowing affidavit from Mr. Smith :— City -nd County of New York, Isaac Smith being duly affirmed, states additionally as follows :—I reside at North Salem, Westchester couaty— I was last night walking the streets alone, ond was inet by the woman now present, called Melinde Hoa, fter a short conversation she invited me to go home her, ¢ lived alone in Greenwich strect. I went with her to Greenwich s'reet, a1.d entered a house and then a bed- room with said woman—that before going there with her, I asked her what she would charge me for acing with her, w id I might give her what I liked—that when in the room she undressed hersel! before me and went to bed, when I also undressed myself and went into the bed with her, and directly af erwards heard a noise in the room, and on looking up,saw a man going back wards towards the room door with my pantaloons in his hand: I éprang out of bed, when the man let the pentaloons fall. The man whom I saw inthe room with my pantaloons wasn small man—he said Melinda Hoag agreed with de. ponent to allow him the use of her person for any amount hehad a mind togive her. She also avowed that she wasted to grt acquainted with folks. That the said Me- linda Hoag is therefore a common prostitute; [should take her to be se from her conduct ISAAC SMITH. On cross-examinetion by counsel for the accused, he stated that he had no knowledge of her having had inter course with any man, and that ke had not with her. Her cor then contended that under the testimony she was not a “common prostitute,” such as in the eye of the law constituted a vegrant. Mr. Caauenven—If you desire evidence of that fact, plenty can he instantly brought to testity to it. > Hoac was then examined by Clerk Ca'lender as follows Question—How old ou and where do you reside?

Charles F, Watsen not called, and him and Hoa, were then discharged, and thus endeth this singular an strange defeat of the ends of justice. Arnest ror Waitinc Tureatening Letrers.—Rich- ard Woodhull, formerly clerk for George W. Miller, pro- prietor for Tattersall, Brondwer. was arrested yesterday on achargeof writing threatening letters, endeavorin, to extort money from Charles Woolley, Woedhull, it wil be remem! was charged some few months since with false pretences for obtaining money from Miller by repre- senting that Woolley had authorized him to borrow it on hisaccount. The case was heard betore Justice Merritt, when Woolley testified that he had never authorised Woodhull to obtain the money, but William Martin,Tho- mas Bowden,and Nathan Morgan testifying that Woolley had ed and admitted that he had so authorised, the complaint was dismissed. Woodhull has since been in- dicted for forging the name of Miller upon a check for $500, which was discounted by William Mix,a Wall street broker, and will he tried at the September term. He jowever,that Milier gave the check in good faith, it is bis real signature. From the affidavit of Woolley in the present charge against Woodhull, it o rétbat on or abou: the 14th of July, he received the following letter from Woodhull :— New Youk, July 14, 1843, Friday. persoi Dean Sin:— My relations all jinsist upon iay making a complaint against you for perjury, and say they will give meno rest untill dose. {havetoldthemthatI bave sworn not to 4o so, that being the only way tbat i could pacily them for the time. Several of my father’s connexious have been to me lately and have called ou my mother in relation to this, and they are far from being satisfied that Ihave taken any oath inthe matter at ail, and they still it is my duty to make the complaint against you, and inaist upon my doing so. Now, Mr. Woolley, I donot wish to see you suffer for this, as | sm convinced that you were persuaded and induced by Miller to take this course aginst methat you did. But the only way for me to pro- ceed to protect you, is to go before x Commissioner of Deeds and make oath that! will not do as they, my rela- lations, insist I shall. Thisisthe only way to seft’e the matter. finaliy and forever, and in order to} do so and pre- vent any trouble, you had better meet me at the corner of Grand and Crosby high aes on Hersiig morning between 10 and 11 o’clock. ‘ours, _ nin?» WOODHULL.

Woolley did not comply with this request to meet Woodhull, but on th Gr ett Monday, the 17th, he accidentally met hi hen Woodhull enquired if he had read the letier, and replying in the affirmative, Woodhull told him he must g' him $100, or he would prefer a charge of perjury against him. Woolley then promised to meet him the next day, but on the same afternoon re- ceived the following letter :— New Yous, Monday afternoon, July 17th, 1843.

To Cuantes Wootrey, Esq., corner Stanton and Attor- ney streets, New York Nothing further passed between them until Friday the 21st of July, when the following letter was received from Woodhull. In this it will be perceived, he began to grow more cool positive, as he dropped the word “ dear” before the “sir,” in the introduction. Farrar, July 21, 1843. Sia :— I shall be at Albert Losee’s, corner of Bowery and Riv- ington street, to-morrow, Saturday morning, at eleven o’. clock, and you hed better be there at that time, if you have any thingto why pe ao cere forthwith in the matter ou. Respectfully, &o. os ? sf R. WOODHULL. To Cuantes Wootrer, Esq., corner Stanton and Attor- ney streets, New York. Woolley did not attend at Losee’s as requested, nor make any answer to the letter, but on Monday the 24th, while attending a sale at Tattersall’s, a boy came in an told him that a person wished to see him at the corner ot Grand and Crosby streets. He went out and met Wood- hull, who stated that his friends had offered to furnish funds if he would commence a prosecution sgainst him for perjury, and unless the $100 was paid he should cer tainly doso. Woolley then offered to give him $50,which he refused, and demanded $100, which Woolley refused. The same afternoon Woolley received the following let- ter :— o Monpay, July 24th, 1843, Sin :— When I saw you this morning, you promised to return in afew minutes—I waited for you over an hour, but you did not make your appearance. New, Mr. Wool- ley, I dont wish to be trifled with any longer—nor will I be.” Thave only delay ed so long for your own good—and now alll haveto say is,that I shall be at Albert Losee’s to morrow, Tuesday morni: o'clock when 1 want ‘our final answer. You know what I told you thia morn: ing, und you may de end upon at, 1ghall net deviate in any hat 1 have said. ‘ours, &°. shen toe © R. WOODHULL. To Cuanes Wooutey, Esq., corner Stanton and Attor: ney streets, New York . Woolley met him the next morning at Losec’s, about 11 o’clock, when he again demanded $100, and he offvred $56 which ‘was refused as before, when Woolley fiaally agreed to give him his demand, and agreed to meet him tor that purpose, at Jonea’s Second Ward Hotel. in Ni sau street, the next afternoon, at 8o’clock. Woolley st in his affidavit, that from the reception of the first letter he acted by advice of counsel, aad his only otyect in mak ing the offer of $50, or of holding any communication with Woodhull was to secure evidence sufficient in writ- ing to finally arrest him on the charge of attempting to extort money. Op the same evening, Woolley went to the upper Police olfice be‘ore Justice Taylor, and there made affidavit of the circumstances, and depositing the letters on which the cherge was based, obtained a war. cant for the arrest of Woodhull. On the following day at thetime appointed, in company with officer James 8. Smith, he progeeded to the Second Ward Hotel, having previously obtained a $100 note so marked, that he could identify it when returned, The oificer waited in the distance, and when the matter was completed and the money passed hands, he was to make the arrest by @ signal from Woolley. Woodhull was accompansed by his brother, and the parties together wont into a commissioner’s office, but returning, Woolley shook his head, and the officer went back to the police office tomake report that the gun had missed fire. The matter hae thus laid until enenday, when Justi understanding that Woodhull was about to le: e town, ordered him to be arrested without Woolley’s knowledge He refused to answer anyquestion when arrested, and was held to bail in the sum of $600, which was entered by Baruk Cornell, liquor dealer 92 Houston straet, who “justh. fied in the sum of $1000. The law under which this arrest is made is contained in the following section of the revised Statutes, page 565, part 4, chap. Ist, section 67th :— “Every person who shall knowingly send or deliver, orshall make for the purpose of being ‘sent or delivered, shall part with the possession of any letter or writing, with or without a name subscribed thereto, or signed with a fictitious name, or with any letter, ‘k or other desig nation, threatening therein to accuse any person of any crime, or to do any injury to the person or property of any one, with a view or intent to extort or gain any money or property of any descriptioa beionging to another, shell, upon conviction, be adjud| bal ity of an attempt to rob, and shall be punished by oe isonment in a State Prison not exceeding five years.

Tux Latz Stonm.—The states the following injuries storms :— On Sunday last, a sloop was struck while lying at anchor in the harbor, at N. Suffol, Southhold. The ffuid descended the mast, taking with it the wedges at the deck, into the hold, where it separa- ted, a part of which passing through the bottom of the vessei, and a part through the cabin, demolish- ing atea Kettle, which stood in its way, and passed out at the window without injuring any of the crew, who were all at thet time inthe cabin. The mast was much shattered. The sloop immediately sunk ‘The vessel has since been raised, and is now at Green Port undergoing repairs. She is owned at Saybrook, Ct. During the same storm, a barn in Aquebogue or Mattituck was struck with lightning, and entirely destroyed, owned as we understand by a Mr. Welis. The Jightning a'so struck in the wood near Fire Place. The !eaves and combustible materials took fire, but the rain which soon after deecended co- piously extinguished thejflames before much damage was done. During the thunder storm, with which this place was visited on Tuesday afiernoon,the house of Mrs. Budd, in Garden street, was struck, and received considerable damage. The electric fluid first strack and demolished the top of the chimney. At the ridge of the house it separated, and a portion de- scended asafter to the side of the house, and thence into the front room, where five or six persons were sitting, all of whom were knocked down by the shock. No one, however, was seriously injured. Mrs. Budd was ill, and lying on the bed in the same room at the time, and was less affected by the shock. Another portion of the fluid descended by another rafter on the other side of the house, and entered the back room, burst a large hole through the side of the house and passed off. The bark Barbary which was lying at the wharf, was also struck during the same equall. The light- ning descended the top.gallant-mast, which was shivered and broken down. Fortunately it was di- verted from a descent by the mast into the hold, but passed down the rigging over the rail into the water. There were several persons employed on board at the time, who felt buta slight shock. Harbor Watchman y the late thunder DeatH or tue Hon Wm. Hatsky.—We are called to-day, says a Newark paj er of Wednesday, to an- nounce the loss ot one of our oldest and most disti guished citizens, in the sudden death of Wm. Hal sey. We understand that he retired last evening in his usual health, and that he expired about age dreak this morning in his chamber, as is supposed, of sroplesy. Some years since he had an attack of paralysis, but had so far recovered as to be able to attend to his private affairs and eng the society of his family and friends. Judge Rloey has been a member of the New Jersey bar for neara halt a century, having been admi'ted in 1794, and was consequently one of the oldest members of the pro- fession, from which he retired several years ago Three of his seniors only survive, viz: Judge Ford, Robert Campbelle and Gov. Williamson. For many years he occupied a prominent place among the ablest men at a bar always distinguished for its abili- ty and resources. Judge H_ never entered into po- litical life, but after he retired from the practice of his profession, which had been very extensive, he accepted a seat on the bench of the Court of Com- mon Pleas for the county, and was the first mayor of the city under the new charter. He was a native of the county, having been born near the Short Hille, in the at 1770, and was consequently in the 73d year of his age.
