YORK HERALD. NEW w Fh, Tuesday, October 24, 1843. =e Cusar Lirexatune.—The following have just been pitblished, and are for gale at this ofhce, together with all the latest publications of the day, at the wholesale him’s and Godey’s Lady ® Book ; rnd il pric Gibbon’s History Rome; the Mysteries of Paris, by Engene Sue; Ninen de L’Enclos, the celebra: ted Aspasia of France; The Irish Melodies, by Tho. mos Moore; The Wrongs of Women, by Charlotte Elizabeth; The Monikins, by Cooper; Mrs. Ellis’s House- keeping Made Easy, or Complete Instructor in all branches of Cookery and Domestic Economy. Progress of County Nominations—-Demo- cratse—Whigs—Old Hunkers—Young Hun- kers—-Native Americans—Abolltionists-— All in a tump. The excitement relative to the nominations County Officers to be supported at the ensuing election is fast reaching its summit, as but three short weeks are to pass over before the contest will be decided. The Democrats with all their aliases have nominated candidates for Sheriff, County Clerk, and five Members of Assembly, the names of which have been previously given. The Whigs have selected a Sheriff, a County Clerk, and Coro ner, and last evening, at the Broadway House, nominated the tollowing named eight candidates tor the Legislature 1— Richard 5. Williams, merchant, of 4th ward. Robert Smith, stone mason, ot 16th ward. Elbridge G. Baldwin, plane maker, of 16th ward, Samuel Webster, shipjoiner, of 11th ward Augustus L. Brown, lawyer, of 15th wai John Martin, mason, of 18th ward. Alexander P. Fonda, steambeat agent, of Sth ward. John L. Lawrenee, lawyer, of 16th ward. The delegation took a last ballot at about twelve o’clock, but no additional choice being made, they adjourned to Wednesday evening to select the re- maining four candidates. The democrats meet the fame evening at Tammany Hall, toselecteight ad- ditional names for their Assembly ticket. The Na- tive American party have concluded their nomina- tions, and the Abolitionists are preparing a ticket forthe support of their friends. Thus it will be seen that every body is to be suited with a bailot, trom which to choose candidates for public favor ; aud the result of the contes* will therefore be more doubtful than for years past. The Native Am rican party are waxing strong, having as their ultimate object the defeat of a Democratic Common Council at the ensuing spring election, in order to obtain sa- ustaction for what they conceive to be a depriva- ion of their share of public plunder that was divi- ded among the Irish and German naturalieed citi- zens after the Democrates came into power last ®pring. The most active, efficient,and honest among them are seceders from the ranks of the Democratic party, and therefore their force will be essentially felt, although at the same time their hostility to the corporation in power will tend strongly to force nearly the whole body of adopted citizens into its support. Thus their influence may be overbalanced, and not an object that they have in view effected. Some of the shrewd, cunning whigs, have joined these Native Americans, but with no intention to hold on at the polls, as their friends of the ether creed will find when the ballots are counted. The Germans population alone have raised a voice against the movements of this party, and strange as it may appear, the Irish adopted citizens, who are generally the first in the field, lie as dormant as terrapins in December. * The Democratic convention, to nominate a Coro- ner, meet again this evening at Tammany Hall for that purpose. The whigs,in accordance with pub- hic opinion, nominated a physician on almost the first ballot The democrats have balloted night af- ter night without such success. We shall see what their meeting brings forth this evening. GexgraL Berrkanp.—This distinguished and cherished friend et Napoleon has not been able to separate himself from ex-President Van Buren so #90a us he anticipated, and hence his visitto New York will be delayed until Thursday next. In the meantime, Mr. Van Buren will escort him to Bos- ton, and poseibly they may be joined by Dick John- sou, and thus form an unparalleled trinity. In the 1, c/reumstances and history of the two mulitery chietlains, there is much similarity—com- p e obscurity of birth and parentage, heroic da- ring of youth, and progression in rank by personal worth and determined energy, and that nobleness of soul which ever marks true genius, enlarged minds, and exalted courage. The character and history of Richard M. Johnson are well known, and wherever his name has reached his extreme good- ness of heart is known too. The fidelity of General Bertrand to Napoleon, when in adversity, while it hallows his name, must be to.him in the retrospect, 4 source of pleasing satisfaction. Fontainbleau, Ejba and St. Helena bear witness to his devotion, when the creatures raised into existence by Napo- jeon abandoned him to his reversed fortunes; and Austerlitz, Spandau, Friedland, Aspern, Lutzen, Bantzeu and Leipsic are identified with his military career and glory. Let the old hero and the devoted irend receive all proper and respectful attentions, and if he and Col. Johnson should arrive together, sive them the same reception which is designed to mark the appearance of the hero of the Thames. Whether Mr. Van Buren will accompany them to this city was yet undetermined. By reference to the proceedings of the Common Council, it wiil be per- ceived that a committee of three from each Board has been appointed to tender the respects of the city goverameut to the General on his arrival, and to place at his service the Governor's room, during hig stay, to receive the citizens, who will doubtless flock in thousands to welcome him to our empire city. Munictrat Economy.—Our city fathers are eratic spirits, Some time since, in a fit of virtuous patrio- tiem, and sublimated regard forthe pockets of their constituents, they economised the wagee of the poor tellows who are appointed to sleep in door ways o’nights, or doomed to walk like melancholy ghostfarmed cap-a-pie with truncheon, and cudgel- proof cap, in certain portions of the streets of our city. The election, however,approaches, and these men have votes; the city fathers, by the reduction, gained credit tor being careful old codgers, and now, as will be seen by their reported doings last night, they gain the affections of the watchmen by increasing their wages and restoring the back pay which was stopped from the month of May last.— ‘This is a movement and a device which gives proof irrefragable ut the Common Ceuncil possesses some politic genius who is fitted for a more august and extendea sphere. Court and kingdoms, and not Common Council chambers and a city, should be his sphere of operation. The amount which is thus voted away in shillings itis said will arnount to tue eum of $15,000, and hence it will be seen they bid high for the “most eweet voices” of the city varies. 'nx AvMrnisrration or Justice.—Let all per- Sune read the report of a case which has occurred an the Department of Criminal Justice, whieh ap- pears in our columne to-day, to see how the ends of justice are evaded. This is only a specimen of the actice in tha daily 5 quarter; but that Mr. Record- er Tallmadge should have acted on the ex parte statement of one of a class known as the “skinners ofthe Tombs,” ie exceedingly surprising. How- , let all read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest the exposure here made. Unreen Staves Senators.—Two were to have been elected in Tennessee on the 17th inst Yeuwow Fevien in Mop: It had began to abate at the last accounts. Fever av Vicnspune.—A communication from the Board of Health of Vicksburg, announces the Yellow tever there, and expresses fears that it will prevail as an epidemic ven persons have died ol the disease. THANKS@IVING IN Connecticut —Goy, Cleveland 6 recommended the observance of T hursday, the 30th Noy. as a day of thankegiVing in Connecticut. Sriunpip Lauacnes.—One of the finest ships now in the London Line was launched early yee- terday morning. It was a splendid sight. She is called the Prince Albert, and will be commanded by Captain Sebor, lately of the St. James. Her day of sailing isthe Ist of December next. Another new packet, to be called the Yorkshire, will be launched to-morrow morning, between ten and eleven o’clock, from the ship yard of Webb & Allen. This ship is 166 feet long, 36} feet broad, and 21 feet deep, and is rated as high as eleven hundred tons. She is five feet longer than the Montezuma. It is thonght that in speed she will sygpass any ship in the Old Line of Liverpool pack- ets, to which she 18 to be attached. We are glad to learn that her commander is Cap- tain D. G. Bailey, formerly of the Orpheus, and lately of the South America. He 1s one of the most popular and experienced navigators ‘hat sails out of New York. Sea Rack.—It is not true that the yacht Gim- crack has beaten the pilot boat Washington, but it is true that the Washington has beaten the Gim- crack. So sure are the pilots of the W. that their boat can distance the G. that they are willing to make a trial of speed between the two boats, from the Floating Light into New York, and give the Gimerack two miles start. We should think that this is fair enough ‘Tue Puitapetruia Exection.—Mr. Hutchinson, the defeated candidate for the office of Sheriff at the late election in Philadelphia, attributes his de- feat to the secession of the Irish, which was prompt- ed by the failure of an Irishman named Clark, in obtaining the nomination for the office of County Treasurer. So be it; but did not Mr. Hutchinson run behind his own ticket ? Canapa News.—Our advices from Kingston are to the 18th inst. The Customs Bill passed the Committee of the whole that mght, and was to be submitted to the House the next day, so it may be looked upon as passed. Mapame Cinti Damoreavu.—The first concert of this lady was flatteringly successtul, and to-night she gives a second, assisted by M Artot. She will doubtiess have a crowded room, for her merits are of arare quality, and are duly appreciated, Nisio’s —The Ravel’s played last night for John Sefton’s Benefit. Last night the Manager’s house was crowded in every part by 7 o’clock. It ap- peared the best of the season. A very prosperous re- sult has attended the variety of the season, which included two English Vaudeville Companies, 'the French Company, Italian ditto, and the Ravela— Niblo’s ought to be an evergreen establishment in- stead of a mere summer one. The fashionable monde like an immediate place of amusement in this city during the winter. Cuatnam Tueatre —The audience last night which responded to the manager’s call for a benefit was such an one as any man might feel justly proud. To-night Yankee Hill appears in all his glory in the Yankee Pedlar, and the Comedy of the Green Moumtain Boy. For the first time Signor Astley, the most remarkable gymnast, makes his first ap, pearance and performsa number of almost incredi- ble feats of strength and skill. The pantomime which was so successful on its first representation will be repeated. Frost at THE Sovtu.—It wasstriking down at all parts of the south at the last accounts. Snow in Pennsyivania —There was a sprinkling near Philadelphia on the 18th inst. Snow Srorm.—We continue to receive particu- lars of early snow storms :— ; The first snow storm this season commenced here between 9 and 10 o'clock last evening. It is about one inch deep.—Albany Advertiser, Oct 23. Yesterday afternoon, aad the night previous, suow again fell, but rain falling at the same time prevented its stay. We have had rain incessanily tor the past tea days, with cold bleak winds. This morning the wind is from the west, and the appear- ance oi the weather issomewhat more promising.— Quebec Mercury, October 19th. PuruapeLrnia Navy Yarp.—About one hundred and fifty ship carpenters and joiners were discharg- ed at the Navy Yard at noon on Friday, without » morment’sprevious warning, in conformance to an order received from the Secretary of the Navy. They were employed on the new sloop of war Ger- mautown, There are now at the Navy Yard the following vessels of war: the frigate Raritan, the steamer Princeton, sloop of war Dale, and a reve- nue cutter. Surreme Court, Rocnesrer, Oct. 18.—Thos. C. Ogden, et. al.vs Oliver Lee,et.al.—Mr. H K Smith was heard for the defendant. Mr. JamesC. Smith and Mr. James Mullett was heard for the plaintiff; and Mr. Millard Filmore in reply. This is the most important case onthe calendar—involving the tiile of the entire Holland purchase. We heard a portion ot Mr. Mullett’s argument, which was highly in- teresting from its comprehensive views of our his- tory—indeed, that of England also—in regard to In- dian rights—Mr. M. arguing they were merely pos- sessory, and not in fee. nachies OE en Arrest or THE YaLE;CoLLEGE MurpErer.—The Philadelphia Chronicle says :—Mr. Louis Fassitt, a student of Yale College, New Haven, Connecticut, and ason of Mr. James Fassitt, hardware mer- chant, of Market street, in this city, was arrested on Saturday asa fugitive trom justice, from the State of Connecticut, on a charge of killing bis tutor, Jobo B. Dwight, a grandson of President Dwight, by stabbing him with a dirk. We give below an account of his arrest, committal, and subsequent discharge on bail. David H. Carr, police officer of New Haven, Ct, arrived in this city on Saturday morning, with a letter to the Attorney Generai from Professor Silli- man, of Yale College, detailing the facts of the murder, and asking that Mr. Fassitt might be ar- rested. The Attorney General immediately sent for Recorder Vaux, and put him in possession of the facts of the case. Warrants were then issued by the Recorder for the apprehension of Mr. Fassitt, and placed in the hands of officers James Young, George Hoffoer and Whissener. Officer Whissener proceeded at once to the house of Mr. E. C. Fassitt,a brother of Mr Louis Fassitt, in Washington Square, and there discovered the latter secreted in aback room. We was imme- diately taken into custody, and conveyed to the office of the Recorder. The Attorney General be- ing apprised of his arrest, the examination com- menced. M. Meredith, Exq , and F. W. Hub- bell, Esq., appeared as counsel for the prisoner. The affidavit of police officer Carr being read, the coun- selon penal of the prisoner argued at great length on the admitting him to bail The Recorder de- clined taking bail, and cemmitted him fora further hearing on ‘Tuesday next, «8 a fugitive from justice from the State of Connecticut, on (he charge of kill- ing John B. Dwight. In the mean time the friends ot the prisoner sued out a writ of habeas corpus be- tore Judge King, and had him conveyed to the pri- vate residence of the Judge, by whom he was held to bail in the sum of five thousand dollars. We have since learned, that Mr. Fassitt, in com- pany with bis brother and several other relatives, lett last evening in the Mail Pilot Line, for Con- gectetty in order to deliver himself up to the au- thorities. Haytt —The Charleston Courier has received a file of Port Republican papers to the 17th ult. The editor learns from these, “that on the night of the 9th September last, au attempt at a counter-revolu- tion took place there, under the auspices of Colonel Dalzon. Colonel Dalzon, about 6 P. M, witha loose collection of soldiery, took possession of Fort Alexander, but finding it destitute of powder, and incapable of defence, he abandoned it, and ad- vanced upon the town. On arriving at the thorough- fare, he was met by the 5th regiment, commanded by Gol. Jacques Louis. At the word “ halt,” he dashed his horse upon citizen Heuriguez, chief ot Gen. Herard’'s staff; whereupon he was immedi- ately shot and killed by a soldier named Regis— Dalzon’s escort of officers escaped to the woods. The news of his death was immediately conveyed to General H., who was already on his way to the fort, and who immediately, with his staff, visited all the forts, and announced to the different regi- ments cuntoned in them, the issue of the abortive attempt. Regis was promoted to the rank of an #f- fieer. General H , it seems, was aware of the con- *piraey, and had taken measures to defeat it. Nu Merods arrests were made; but the conspiracy ms to have been confined chiefly to young men Without regular employment, ambitious of military or civil odvancement. On the Ilth, the provincial government insta Protector, in th ‘led Gen, Dezarre in the office of © place of the late Gen. Voltaire.” Domestic Manvraciures.—The Portland Adver tiser says, (hat about thirty corde of fresh cut birch wood ison its way {rom that region to Lynn and Ipswich, Mareachuvet\*, which isto be manutactnred into shoe pegs ! City Intelligence, Inramous INTERFERENCE wirn Justice.— Yesterday morning’s Herald contained the particulars of the arrest of two young men named Richard Martin and George Fisher, on acharge of petit larceny, but who were sup- posed from having in their possession burglarious instru ments, ond @ variety of other evidence, to be the persons who had recently committed various Grand Larcenivs at our public hotels, as also several burglvries. These men were secured on Saturday evening, and notice was given to those who had beenfrobbed to appear at the City Prison yesterday morning, and recognixe the rogues. Several gentlemen {rom the Clinton and Exchange Hotels, who had been robbed by persons placed in the same room at a late hour at night, appeared, and from the description of the parties were satisfied that these were the rogues. Officers A. M. C. and James L. Smith, who made the arrest, then proceeded with the parties into ,the City Prison to allow these gentlemen to recognize the rogues as the persons who had committed the several Grand Larcenies, when, to their astonishment, they were informed that they had been discharged. Upon enquiry, it was found thet Ebenezer M. Peck, a practitioner about the Tombs, had taken copies of their commitments for petit larceny before Recorder Tallmadge, and also e negro barber, residing in Centre street, opposite the Tombs, named Henry H. Tucker, who was offered as bail in the sum of $200, and accepted! The rogues were then discharged, and when the case was presented to the Recorder by the Clerks of the Lower Police, he avowed that he had been imposed upon by Mr. Peck, and was not aware that avy other charges existed, or were about to be preferred against the two thieves. Since their discharge from prison yesterday, a number of persons have pre- ferred complaints against them, and a quantity of stolen clothing taken by them been recovered, Such au improper, unjust and unlawful interference with public justice we have rarely been called upon to record. Since the above was written, the negro barber has been arrested, and, on examination before the Police, made the following astonishing affidavit :— i! and County of New York, ss. lenry H. Tucker, barber, of No. 108 Centre street, being duly sworn, deposes and says that he wast . ning called on at his baab yp, at the above place, by Ebenezer M. Peck, a lawyer at the Tombs, who request. ed deponent to go dail, or surety, for Richard Martin and Gcorge Fisher, who were confined in the City Prison on a charge of larceny, stating to deponent that he would have to swear that he was worth the sum of two hun. dred do! Deponent said to said Peck that he was not worth the sum, and on Peck’s asking him if he would take two hundred dollars for every thing in bis esta- blishment, deponcnt replie! that he would not, if it in. cluded bis clothes and a gi on which said Peck told him that this would answer, and as he was a customer of deponent, if he would oblige him, he would throw busi- ness in deponent’s way, and ifhe had to lock up his shop, during bisabsence from the same, to go bail, he would make it up to him; when‘he went to the Recorder's office, in Nassau street, and became bail for said Martin and Fisher. Deponent further says that he never saw said persons in or out of prison, and that the amount of bail sworn to by him, was two hundred dollars. HENRY H. TUCKER. Sworn before me, October 23d, 1843. Mun Parken. An officer was then immediately despatched to the Re: corder’s office for a copy of the affidavit of the barber made before him which is as follew: City and County of New York,ss : Henry H. Tucker, of No. 108 Centre street in the city of New York, being sworn, says that he is worth two hundred dollars over and above whi ufficient for the yment of all his debts, and that his property consists of stock in his business in his shop. HENRY H. TUCKER. Sworn before me the 28d of October, 1843. F. A. Tavumaper. It being evident to the Police that the stock in the shop of Tucker was not worth one fourth of the amount that he had sworn it to be, he was committed to answer the of- fence. We didnot ascertain whether the author of the unlawful act committed by this poor negro was arrested or not, but presume the Recorder will take immediate ac- tion on the subject. “Mixe Watsu” surrendered himself yesterday fore. noon, and James Kelly enetred security inthe sum of $1000 for his appearance at the next court of General Sessions, that commences its term on Monday, November ‘he 6th. Mr. Kelly justified in the requisite amount, and Walsh was discharged from custody. In the forfeitures of Walsh and Cummings, noticed in the report of the pro- ceedings of the Sessions as published yesterday, the name of James Kelly was given as one of the bail. It should have been Thomas Kelly, who was bail for Cum- mingé. Bit Mutuican, tHE Forcer, Axnesteo —As office Denniston was proceeding up Allen street, yesterday morning, he met William Mulligan, the well-known forger, who escaped justice at the last term of the Court of Sessions, by bail having been entered by Franci J. Grant, who ce run away to Enrope, and Ebene: zer M. Peck, a Tombs lawyer. Denniston arrested him at once, when Mulligan made fight, and avowed to the spec tators that he was no burglar, and had never been arrest- ed for any offence or crime. Notwithstanding the earnest appeals of the officer for assistance, not one of the crowd stepped forward to sid him,and hed not AssistantAlderman Ward, who was accidentally passing, stepped in, it is more thanlikely that the rogue would have escaped. He ix now safe, unless new straw bail is obtained to relesse him. set, of Philadel- Anrest OF 4 Murperer —Youn; phia, who stabbed Tu'or Dwight, of Yale College, passed through this city on Sunday, in charge of an efficer, who had arrested him in Philadelphia. He left in the Eastern boat for New Haven, where he will b2 tried for the of fence. Mr. Dwight died on Thursday, and young Fasset, remained in the College several days after the stabbing wascommitted before he escaped. Kiuiep on THE Harntem Raitroav.—A newsboy named Patrick Hogan, who has for a length of time travelled up and down inthe Harlem railroad cars, to dispose of his pipers, was killed yesterday morning, near 20th street, y one of the cars passing over his body. He wi act of stepping from one car to another, when h and fell between two, the killed him instantly. SratcHap anv Cavout.—One William Muzzy, who is leader of a gang of soaplocks and loafers that congregate around Washington market, was brought up chose with stealing a three dollar bill from Daniel Ryan, while the latter was paying for some refreshments in the mer ket. Muzzy snatched the money out of Ryan’s hand and fled, but was pursued and overtaken. Rompeny at tHe Race Counse.—A negro sportsman, named Charles Hanson, was brought up, charged with yo emecy large quantity of harness from the stables of Hiram Woodruff, and also about thirty dollars in cash, which was the property of one of the grocers attached to the course. Hanson is fully committed. Snor.—A negro named Pete Haw- ealing a dress coat trom the store d street. Hawkins and an other loafer entered the shop, and snatched the coat frem the board, while the workmen were gone to their breakfast, and bolted with their prize; but the hue andcry being raised, they were purufed,and Pete caught and seat to the ‘ombs. Buno.any.—The houseot Simeon Dreyfous was broken open last night by prying 0 the window of the back basement. The thieves stole a cloak and a quantity of wearing apparel, coats, umbr &e. Of course they were not arrested by the watch. Numerous burglaries are taking place in every part of our city, and still we have no change in the hour of service of the watchman in the morning. Astoxtsnine Es rr.—A gentleman of the |Fire De- partment, who says he was standing on the pavement, corner of Duane and Chatham streets, on Friday evening when Harry Jordan was {injured by the Southwark En- gine Company, informed us last evening that one of the wheels of that apparatus, which weighs 4500 pounds p: ed over the body of Jordan. Since ho has been in the hos ital it been ascertained that in addition to other injuries, his lower jaw bone was broken. He is doing well at present. OVAL oF Book Staxps.—Quite on excitement was created about the East entrance to the Park yesterlay, from the fact that the Supermtendent of Streets and. Cor poration Attorney had succeeded, by prosecution under the city ordinances, to compel the removal of the Look stands that have been stationed there for several months past The occupants took advantege of the occasion to post conspicuous placards stating their grievances, and offering therefore to sell their stock at reduced prices. The effect was good, as the books sold well at moderate rates. Ona THE TaiLons.—The journeymen tailors y heb meeting at Dann’s Sixth Ward Hotel yesterday, at nine o’clock, which continued, with « slight intermission, until a late hour last evening. mmenications were received from over one hundred Joy ing tailors, who consented to pay the list of prices demanded by the journeymen, which is a small advance on previous rates Court of Chancery.

Virginia Boyd vs. Edward Boyd.—This case came up on @ petition by the wife for a divorce, on the grounds of adultery. The testimony adduced at the first hearing being insufficient, time was allowed for the putting in of further testimony, which additional testimony was con- sidered satisfactory by the Court, and on order, granting the prayer of the petitioner, was accordingly entered. ‘The petition of Cambrelmg. ‘elix Colrand was referred to Master Marine Court, Before Judge Sherman, Wi 0s. William Story.—This was mages for injuries sustained by inti, who laborer, by reason of the careless driving of the servant of the defendant. It appeor ed that the servant was driving the wagon of the defendant through Front street, between Dover and Roosevelt streets, and then and there came in contact with, and knocked down the plaintiff, injuring him so severely as to oblige him to seek the aid of a physician, and to confine him to his house for one week. ‘he de. fence attempted to show that the wagon was being driven at the rate of only four and ahalf miles an hour; but the plaintiff proved by several witnesses that the rate was nearer eight miles per hour.

Alderman Baxevoorr said that the Street Cemmissioner had stated a public falsehood, so far as he was concerned, as he never had said he did not intend to rej but that he eee, said he did intend to report in favor of Mr. Lynch. That sucka bare faced denial of truth on the of the Street Commissioner caused him to blush. Aldermen Nasu and Purpy'said they thought there was some misunderstanding on the aubject, as the Street Com- mi ner Was u sworn officerof this Beard, and he was not likely to meke a false statement. Alderman Woopnutt said he thought the Street Com- missioner had done his duty, and the evidence presented showed it—he therefore thought he sheuld be sustained in his position before the Board. Alderman Brevoorr said he had not done his duty. He ghen moved a reference to the counsel of the Board, in order that the conduct of the Street Commissioner might be enquired into.
