a — NEW YORK.HERABD. New York, Friday, April 5. City Kiections=The Piot Thickens. Every day—every hour gives additional interest and mystery to the approaching city election, which will take place next Tuesday. Both the old factions are agitated from their centre to their ex- tremities. They are trembling in the very recesses of corruption, and visions of evil to come float be- fore their eyes, like the spectres which hurry through the distempered dreams of dying, wicked men. There is every indication that this election willbe on a smal! scale what the memorable era of °76 was to the whole of this country—a com- plete ‘and blessed revolution against the corruptions of former governments. We do sincerely believe that both the old factions, who have for so long a period ridden, booted and;spurred, over the people of this city, treating with the supremest insolence every demand for justice, and battening on the pro- ceeds of their profligate administration of the city affairs, will be prostrated and trampled in the dust by the retributive vengeance of an offended people. Nothing so clearly indicates the precise condi- tion of things at the approaching election—nothing so clearly reveals all parties in their true aspect— nothing se forcibly exhibits the great questions really at issue in the coming contest, as does the tone and language of the organs of the two old parties—the fear, the alarm, the trembling anxiety, which appear to pervade all their movements, and the very extraordinary character of the manifestoes which they issue to their respective adherents. In proof of all this, we have re-published to-day in another “quarter of this journal, a very re- markable article from the Daily Plebeian—the organ of the Tammany Hall democrats; and an- other equally remarkable and significant article from the Tribune—the organ of the whigs. It is most amusing and excruciating to perceive how these articles chime together—how the burden of their song flow so lowingly in chorus. The cry of both these organs of corruption and fraud is in all quarters—‘' help !—help!—help !—we are going !: help! speedily, or we perish!” The Plebeian de- nounces the ‘‘ Natives” as a whig party in disguise —as the essence of all that is unprincipled and pro- scriptive—as a thing to be put down and demolish- edatonce. The Tribune expresses prerisely the same hostile sentiments towards the new move- ment—talks with great respect of Mr. Coddington to whom it prefers only Mr. Franklin—and denoun- ces in the same style as the Plebeian the principles of the “ Natives,” with respect to the naturaliza- tion laws, the Catholics and the [rish. It will thus be perceived that the charges prefer- red by the whigs against the new ‘‘ Keform party,” and which the locofocos also urge, neutralize and destroy each other. The assertion that the ‘“ Na- tives” are whigs in disguise is thus completely re- futed, and is just as false as the assertion that they are locofocos in disguise. The new “ Retorm par- ty” which has attained such a formidable growth in this city, has been the natural result of the corrup- tions and follies and wickedness of the old rotten factions. It has been brought into existence in consequence of the operations of the same causes which produced the revolution of 1776— te impulses of an intelligent and free people te get rid of tyrannical, unjust and corrupt rulers, and to establish a just, free, and efficient go- vernment of their own. No doubt, this great for vefori and justice has its errors—its extravagance of opinion on some points. No doubt, many individuals connected with it entertain ser- timents in reference toa particular sect—the Cathe- lic, and a particular race—the Irish, which are il- liberal and unjust. But it is impossible to charge the great mass of honest and intelligent citizens,who desire city reform, and who will spare no effort to obtain it, with approving of such opinions ; and, in fact, these opinions have nothing to do with the present movement. They are mere matters of indi- vidual taste and feeling They lie not at the broad foundations of this movement. They may influ- ence some who swell the ranks of the new party; but they do not give to the movement its com plexion and its character. A deep, pervading and indignant sense of the corruption—the faithlessnes- —the tyranny—the inefficiency of the old partiesin their government of the city, and a determined, universal, irrepressible desire to obtain reform— these have been the sources of this mighty move- ment—these have called it into existence—these have given it its strength, its moral influence—and these, too, will give it its ultimate and complete triumph. It ever the free and independent electors of this city felt the responsibility which devolves upon them at the ballet-box, they should feel it on this occa sion, Both whigs and locofocos have had the reins of government—both have had the fullest, the fairest, the most patient trial. Both have been equally and shamelessly inefficient and corrupt. In fact, the city has been without a municipal govern- ment. The only check against the inroad of uni- versal disorder has been the free and independent portion of the press. With Magistrates who sys- tematically released offenders on ‘straw bail”’— with police officers who commuted with the rogue —with a Corperation who have, year after year, exposed the city to all the horrors of the pestilence, by keeping the streets in a state unknown in any other Christian city—the only thing left for the de- fence and safeguard of the morals and property of the community was that portion of the press which had resisted the shakles of party. At this moment, we do not believe that the city could be kept in peace for one day, were ft not for this in fluence. Well, then, it is at such a period that an opportunity—which can hardly be regarded as less than providential—is afforded ef obtaining the blessings of a city government. No change can make us more defenceless—more misgoverned That’s certain. But there is good encouragement to expect the happiest results from the success of the revolution now in progress. The articles which we extract from the organs of corruption give us the most consclatory assurances that the new re- form party does present the means of attaining de- liverance from corruption, and a just, honest, and efficient administration of the City affairs. The falsity—the malice—the utter groundlessness of their accusations against the new party, are most clearly proved by the very statements, of these corrupt organs themselves. It is thus ap- parent that there is not only a secret, but an open coalition between the corrupt organs of the two old parties, for the purpose of defeating this new movement. We have thus the monstrous spectacle of the union in the same bad purpose of mm, Bang & Co., of Tammany Hall, and Gree- ley & Co., on the part of the Fourier Whigs. There we have them cheek-by-jowl, hand-and-glove,work- ing together in the same traces, and soon we trust and believe to be tumbled into the same ditch to- gether, We do trust that the intelligent and honest citi- zens of all classes will unite in this great—this last movement for reform. Let them come forth, and like the avalanche that sweeps in thunder from the Alps, bring down the corruptions of both the old fac- ‘ons ip one crushing, overwhelming defeat. If this opportunity be neglected, then a long farewell to all hope of reform and good government in the city of New York. And not to this city alone will be embued the beneficial effects of that united and vigorous exertion which will produce reform. The moral effect will be universal. It will teach ali classes of politicians that there is a point of endu- rance, of wrong and ot corruption, beyond which a people will not pass—that there is a limit beyond which faithless and corrupt officials cannot go without being called to account before the great bar of public opinion—public justice—and public morality &g- Tue Grann Fourier Convention com- menced yesterday in Clinton Hall—all the apostles present. A fall report will be found in this day’s paper. The Convention meets again to day in the same place ee h—Rotreat of the former—The Milita- Ty called out. i The first decided appeal to. physical forcein the contest between the “natives” and the “ Irish,” ook place in Brooklyn lastnight. A county meet- ing of the democrats and one also of the ** natives” had been called to receive the nominations for Mayor and city officers. The former convened at the large room in the City Hotel, in the upper part of Fulton street, and the latter in the log cabin on the opposite side of the way. Intense excitement had prevailed throughout the course of the day, and considerably before the time at which the meetings had been called to assemble, immense crowds had collected, each party having its band of music, banners, and all the insignia of party. All, however, was peaceable, except so faras fierce dis- cussion, and oaths, threats, and all sorts of exclama- tions, went to indicate the presence of greatly ex- cited feeling in both parties. 4 Both places of meeting were densely crowded. The speakers were as inflammatory as usual, but the proceedings were undisturbed by any outbreak. The nominations were offered, accepted, and both meetings adjourned peaceably, each party moving off, the “natives” in procession. As smaller bo- dies, however, of the two parties encountered each other in the various quarters of the city, a great deal of excitement was created, and very serious apprehensions began to be entertained of the oc- currence of a riot. The first decided collision took place in Court street, near Martin street. A strong party of the “natives,” had taken up their position in the neighborhood of the Catholic Church, and a variety of exclamations expressive of hostility to that building were uttered. Several individuals declared their wish to burn it to the ground, and similar expressions, calculated to arouse much angry feeling in the epyosite party, were made. In avery few minutes a very formid- uble body of the Irish made theirjappearance, aud announced their determination to disperse the ‘‘na- tives.” The Irish were armed with bludgeons, staves, and four or five of them had muskets. At this moment the appearances were most alarming. Two large and excited mobs were arrayed against each other, and it was evident that a riot of the most serious character was unavoidable. This was about a quarter past eleven o’clock. Rumors of the most exaggerated character were circulating in the lower part of the city, and it was believed ata distance that a scene of terrible blood- shed had occurred. The Mayor was speedily on the spot, and endeavored, without effect, to induce the mobs to disperse. At this moment also, Dr. James W. Smith and Mr. Mervin, late under-sher- iff, two highly respectable citizens arrived, and mixing with the Irish, also endeavored to second the efforts of the Mayor, but with no better suc- cess. Whilst these gentlemen were thus engaged, and while a kind of parley was going on between the mobs, the Irish declaring their willingness to retreat ablock, if their opponents did the same, and swearing that they would otherwise instantly drive them from their vicinity to the church, some tri- fling collision took place, and in a moment the bat- teries of the Irish were opened. A furious shower of stones and brickbats commenced the be- ginning of the fight, but it was very speedily terminated for the ‘ Natives” instantaneously fled and retreated in all directions. The only indi- viduals left on the field, were. Dr. Smith and Mr. Mervin, who maofully stood their ground, in the conviction that as peace-makers, and not at all identified in any way with the opposite and now utterly routed party, they would escape. But they were mistaken. Another shower of missiles rained about their heads, and how their lives were saved isa miracle. But they retreated to the fence, and were then surrounded in a moment by the mob. Mr. Mervin received a violent blow on the head from a club, and was saved from being beaten to a jelly, only by an Irishman, who, providentially discovered who he was, seized him in his arms, and shouted out that he was no enemy. Dr. Smith received several blows about the shoulders, and one slight one on the head, and had his cloak torn off him, but he also was recognized by some of the crowd, and instantly all violence towards him was stopped. The great body of the Irish hurried after their retreating op- ponents, shouting, yelling, and uttering the most fearful imprecations. The escape of Dr. Smith and Mr. Mervin was most miraculous. Several times the Doctor was on the point of discharging a revolving pistol, which he had in his pocket, but with the most re- markable, and, as it turned out, most fortunate for- bearance, he refrained. Had he fired one shot, no doubt he would at once have been overwhelmed and massacred. Mr. Mervin also narrowly escaped still greater injury, as one of the mob had raised his musket and aimed a blow at his head with the breech, when the man who recognized him inter- fered. In the meantime the Mayorhad ordered out the military, and the alarm bell wasrung. By 1 o’clock, however, when our reporter left, quiet had been restored and the, mob dispersed. A serious fight had, it was said, taken place in Washington street, and several small skirmishes in other parts of the city ; but our reporter had not heard of any serious injury having been inflicted on any of the belliger- ants. It was also said that several guns loaded with shot had been discharged, and that several persons were murdered; but these statements were regarded by the better informed as exaggerations. Loaded muskets were, however, in the hands of num- bers of the;jmob, and had not one party retreated so summarily, there can be no doubt that the most melancholy loss of life would have resulted. As it is, the riot may well alarm all the friends of peace and crder, not only in Brook- lyn, but in this city. The feelings of the Irish have been greatly exasperated, and very fearful collisions may be expected. We shall learn to-day full and accurate particulars of all the occurrences, which the lateness of the hour and the obvious difficulty of ebtaining any detail, prevented us from learning last might. Pe TERMI Accripent on ‘tHE RarLnoap.—We learn from Adams & Co., that a merchant of Boston, named P. Brewer, in attempting to jump upon the train, on Wednesday afternoon, lost his hold andwas vio- lently dashed against the rails. When the cars left he was left insensible. Itis strange, after so many warnings and losses of life, that people will at- tempt to jump upon and pff the cars, while the train is going at the rate of ten to twenty miles an hour. Summer Retreats.--The approach of spring, warm weather,and the singing of the birds, begin to bring up for examination and selection the various summer retreats, We have already mentioned se- veral of these places which are preparing for the summer campaign, and we since perceive that Mr. Pierishas taken the Clifton House,Staten Island, at the Narrows—a delightful resort. Mr. Blancard is equally busy at New Brighton. We shall have a number of other places to notice in a few days. Reat Estate.—It will be seen from the sales of real estate in Wall street, that the late speculation has blown up entirely. Prices are not now more than seven or eight per cent in advance of wha they were last year. —_ ‘Tue Foreign Bentvotent Socierres.—We have been quite amused by a controversy, or fracas, be- tween the Irish and English benevolent societies as they are called, in relation to a toast referting to“ repeal,” drank at the annual dinner of the former. It is quite melancholy to see respectable men quarrelling about such trifles. Ifthese benevo. lent societies would quarrel as to who should do most good, who should outstrip the other in bene- volent action, then they would excite some sym- pathy. Their present spluttering excites only aughter Lore.s.—T! has beem-another splen- did floating Hotel wi the many already on the Atlantic; and there now seems to be quite a competition between the owners of thoge on shore and of those on the ocean to reach perfection in the comforts and magnificence of their palaces. All are familiar with the Astor and other houses on Broadway, and the Liverpool and other fine packet ships on the ocean. These are famous in their way, and their success has led to the con- struction of another packet ship, or Ocean House, which is now ready to take in transient boarders. This. new ship is called the Indiana, and is really a very fine ship. She is one of Stanton & frost’s line of New Orleans Packets, and will be com- manded by Captain Bennett, who has been a long tume in that trade In size, the Indiana is, we should think, about eight hundred tons, and fitted up in the most agreeable style, with a poop deck. It is recollected that the poop decks now added to every ship, were introduced by Mr. Collins in his great ships, and have become as popular as they are useful and necessary. In the Indiana there are all the latest improve- ments in ship building ; and those going south will like heras a means of conveyance, and her captain as a gentlemanly and skilful-navigator. Tur Srexets.—Now that we have dry weather, again we have the dust flying all over the city. In wet weather the streets are impassable on ac- count of the dirt; in dry weather the atmosphere is filled with dust to an immense height. And thus it will be, growing worse and worse, until we get complete city reform. Disrincuisnep Visrror.—Our office was yester- day honored by a visit from the celebrated General Radaveauf, the rival of General Tom Thumb, who is now holding his levees daily at Peale’s Museum. He is still smaller than Tom, and is quite a good looking, goed humored and funny little fellow. Great crowds go to see him. picts ni Brste Meetinc.—There was a meeting of the Bible Society at their room in Nassau street yes- terday evening, tor the purpose of taking into con- sideration the question of continuing Mr. Fanshaw astheir printer. It seems that serious difficulties have taken place between the printer and the So- ciety—not religious difficulties, but difficulties in relation to,the prices for doing the work, A rather curious debate took place, which we shall endea- ‘o-morrow, with the whole philosophy Excrrement 1N Puiapeurnia.—It was stated in some of the papers that a great excitement prevails in Philadelphia in consequence of the refusal of the Legislature of Pennsylvania to provide means for the payment of the interest on its State debt; in other words because the Legislature had adopted practical repudiation. We doubt this very much. The excitement exists we rather think in the Peni- tentiary of Philadelphia, and takes the shape of a great and general rejoicing amongst its inmates,who justly consider that in the presentstate of morals in that State they will be let out and thought as much of as their fellow laborers at Harrisburgh. Tue Soorrisa Menpicant.—We perceive that the Rev. Messrs. Cunningham, Burns, and C mers are now in Boston on their begging mission forthe Scottish Kirk. [t is probable that they will raise more money in Boston than in any other city in the country. They are very liberal in that quar- ter, and ought to give these gentlemen as much as they can. Riots Exrecrep.—Two orthree riots have taken place in this city, and as many in Brooklyn, in re- ference to the approaching elections for the city government of each. Those fighting politicians oughtto be allowed to thrash each other well.— All peaceable men will keep out of their way, and, let those men of war belabor each other to their hearts’ content. j Porrcr Reronm. —We understand that the loco- tocos have sent up a secret committee to oppose the very bill for police reform which they sent up the other day to paasthe Legislature. This is in per- fectkeeping with the character of these double- faced politicians. That project of police reform passed the Corporation just as the resolutions to amend the city charter did at Tammany Hall, to gammon the public. Nothing was meant by it. It was humbug—Tammany Hall humbug—nothing else. Manuracture or Voters.—The Tammany Hai! party have naturalized about five hundred votets per day since Monday last ; and, it will, therefore, be seen that this species of manufacture needs no protection. Mr. McKay’s new tariff bill contains no provision to foster this branch of Tammany manufactures, for “the blood of Douglas can pro- tect itself.” By the morning of election, from twenty-five hundred to three thousand new voters will thus be prepared for the market, and raw ma- terial enough left to double that amount, if time, permitted. ‘Tue Corron Fever Acain.—During the last two days the speculation in cotton has started with great vigor in this latitude—sales nearly 8000 bales in two days—} cent advance—see the markets. It is intended to raise the fever quite high, before the next steamer comes. Flour is also moving. On the contrary stocks are going down. Great times for those who have luck—Captain Tyler should try his. Map But..—Yesterday morning, about 11 o’- clock, a mad bull having got loose somewhere in Mercer street, ran down Mercer and attacked a lady who was passing at the time, and injured her very severely. He then ran down to Canal street, and injured three more ladies—two of them very badly. Tue Eprror or tne Heratp :— Dean Sir:— | In your paper of this (Thursday) morning, under the caption ‘Removal of the Dead,” [ notice series of remarks calculated to give to the public mind a wrong impression upon the views enter- tained by the ‘* Trustees of the Second Free Con. gregational Church,” in their proposition to remove the slumbering remains of those interred in the ground adjoining the Church corner of Christie and Delancy streets. Fully persuaded that your stric- tures have been the result of a non-understanding of the matter, I request the publication of this short article, that the whole proposal may be brought fully before the public, and especially that it may be presented in a true light to the friends of the dead therein interred. It is a notorious fact, that for years past, the lots forming the burying ground in question, have been desecrated b: bad ed zines petra Hogs, by the drove, have there held undisputed possession, tear- ing up the sods and uprooting the head-stones, in their persevering attempts to prey upon the uncon- scious sleepers—in short, the ground has become one vast hog-pen, whilst its sacred character has been foully tarnished bv the wild sports, and its proper silence broken by the obscene blasphemings of the youths and boys who have made it the pan- demonium of their origies. The Trustees of the Second Free Congregational Church propose to erect upon the ground a temple for the worship of the king of the universe ; and in order to do this, they a to remove the dead into a suitable vault or vaults to be built in the rear of the church proposed, upon the same once conse- crated, but now desecrated oe This is all they ask. And we put it to the goed sense and moral feeling of the triends of the dey public, under which state of things the dead there- in sleeping will most suitably and most becomingly rest’ J.E.K. New York Locan Etections.—We have re- ceived a few returns which we annex:— Onanar, Co—In Goshen the democrats have elected all but two officers ; the whigs wo. In Newburg the Native Americans hav the election. Westcnunsten Co.—The whigs have two and the demo- srate thi : Qcens Co—The Natives have elected most of their ticket. “Tieroseiaen Co.—Tho whigs have elected ten and the demo ix Supervisors, s is a whig gain. Conumnmia Co. ah Hudson the whiga have elected their candidates. This is Van Buren’s county—his place of re- sidence, Scursrctapy Co.—This is also whig. A whig mayor in Schenectady City, &e. Sanatoca Co.—Four towns show a whig majority In all these returns the whigs exhibit a gain. “Very are rgom Curna.—Thé Helena, Capt: Haprio, arrived last night in 90 days passage from Yanton. Thigis a remarkably short run. What news she brings is of a very uninteresting character, [t is into January. Since the settle- ment of her difficulties with the “ outside barbari- ang,” China seems to have settled down quietly, and with a better knowledge of the rest of the world. This knowledge will, of course, give us great advantages in all future time in our intercourse with the Gelestials,and there is'now every prospect that China.will, in.a few years, be thrown open as America is; for foreigners to roam over and abuse, Iurortayt vnom Havtr—The | General Marion, Captain Shepherd, arrived last night from {Port au Prince, Welare indebted to Capt. S. for Le Piogues and the annexed. It seems that the recent outbreak has a wheel within a wheel—that the French are at the bottom of it—owing, probably, to their late defeat in their negociations with the existing Haytien Government. But the following tells the whole story :— Gen. Riviere, the President, was at Arah, within thirty miles of St. Domingo, with one division of his army, con- sisting of 15,000 men." Several schooners have gone round with artillery. ‘The insurgent force is estimated at from 8000 to 10,000, ‘The President’s son, Col. Deo Herard, who commanded one of the regiments stationed at St. Domingo, with all the force that sided with him, were liberated on parole, and the Colonel had arrived at Port au Prince via Jacmel, A Col, Pimentel took possession of a towm bordering on the Spanish part in the name of the insurgents, ‘The town wus mostly inhabited by mahogany cutters, who wers away. On hearing of the march of the President, they assembled by night, and took the Colonel prisoner with his papers, and sent him to head quarters.’ Amongst these ers, was one purporting te be a negociation between the insurgents andthe French government, through the French Consul lately stationed at St Dominga, ‘The French offering to. supply money and arms, with the aid of 10,000 men, if necessary, on condition’ that they were to receive the island Samana (at the east) as a naval depot, and to have the original French part of the island restored to them. This, of course, had excited a vast deal of indignation. ‘A difficulty took place between someof the officers of H.B.M sloop Ewrydice and the Haytiens. It appears the officers went on shore to bathe, and alter bathing, amused themselves with knocking cocoa nuts down from the trees, Kc, sallor-like, when a guard appeared and drove them to their boats at the point of the bayonet. ‘The next morning this was repeated, They then went on board, and arming their boat, went ashore, and captured the whole guard, and took them into town and there delivered them uptothe authorities. The matter was not settled when the G M, left. From Centra America.—Captain Roberts, of the schooner Ursula, from Sanj Juan, whence he sailed on the 25th February, reports the market for American produce dull, and very little in store. H. B. M. brig of war Griffin had recently arrived, to settle the indemnity money due the government. From Nassav, N. P.—By the James Power, at Baltimore, we have received cur papers, but they contain little of interest except ship news and shipwrecks count of which will be found in full under the ma- ead. Six hundred and fifty bales of cotton had been saved from the wreck of the British ship Ayreshire, lost near Nasi and were advertived to be sold for the benefit of all concerned. The Governor has in view to import from the Havana. spamen of the re captured Africans there, under the care ofthe “ Mixed Commission ;” but we should think the Bahamas were well supplied with enough of the § class of laborers, tosay nothing of their own host of em cipated slaves : “His Excellency, the Governor, having received a communication from the Superintendent of liberated Afri- cans at Havana, dated the 29th ult., inquiring if liverated Africans, as laborers from thence, wanted in this colo. ny, notice is hereby given, that returns agreeably to the number of African laborers wanted by individuals, who aro willing to defray the expense of conveyance from Hn- vana ta the colony, will be received at this office.”—U.S pril 4. Imrortant From Catirornia.—All authentic in- formation from upper California is becoming a mai- ter of general interest, and tends to make our people ac quainted with the actual truth as to the advantages of that couatry. We have learned a fact unknown to us before, viz: that the American colonists on the Oregon have or- ganized a government and put it in operation. McCutrock’s GrocraruicaL GazeTreer,—Par! XI. of this indispensable work, commencing the second volume, has just been issued by the Har- pers. The edition is very convenient, and it is one of the cheapest works ever published. The num. bers are printed uponsmall t! pa in double columns, and the work is accompanied by handsome maps of all the principal regions of the earth. The succes- sive numbers are sold at 25 cents. Younc Kare, On rue jtescur: A Tale of the Great Kanawha. Two volumes in one. Harper and Brothers, 82 Cliff street. This is the title of an anonymous, original American novel, just issued as No. IL. of the pocket series which the Harpers have just commenced. It is spirited, probable in its in cidents and very interesting. Those who guess at its character and story from its title, will mistake both. The scene is laid in Virginia and the hits at national and social evils, as well as local peculiari. ties, are happy and effective. It is sold for two shillings. Circuit Court. Before Judge Kent. Apnit 4.—Jehn A. Miller vs. Eaton §- Bryan.—This was an action on a promissory note made y @ person named Cooper, for $200, payable to himself, and by him endorse: to defendants. The defendants bought some cleck case: from the firm of Wilson & Dunn, and gave them the not: inpayment. It was alleged that at the time the clock cases were purchased, there was mo endorsement on th: note, and Eaton gave Wilson a memorandum to inquire into the respectability of the parties, and afterwards came back and took the note without endorsement. ‘The defendants centended that Wilson & Dunn had en dorsed under Cooper, and that Eaton & Bryan were the next endorsers; and that subsequently the endorsement of Wilson and Dunn had been erased, and their signature put under that of Faton & Bryan, by which all subsequent endorsers were discharged. The Judge told the jury that it lay on the plaintiff to account for the erasure The jury found a verdict for defendants. ‘Townsend & Hoffman for plaintiff, Mr. Morton for de- fendants. * Rapelje vs. Minor et al—This was an action on a condi tional bond, given by detendants to prosecute an appeal, and as security for costs. ‘The defence was, that the plaintiff resorted to the bond before he had exhausted all the other means in his power to recover the costs, to wit :—That he had not issued exe: cution on his decree, or took any steps to levy the nt ; also, that the bond was unduly got out of the Court of Chancery, and defendant's counsel called on the Court for a non: The Court refused, and said if the defendant had any remedy, it was in the Court of Chan- cery, and directed the jury to find for plaintiff. The jury found for plaintiffs, $111. Circuit Court sits to-day to hear law arguments. Court of Common Pie This Court adjourned over to Saturday. Amusements, ‘ American Museum.—The giants made their ap- pearance yesterday at the American Museum, and the manager was completely overrun with the crowd who came to see them. ‘They are to appear sgain to-day, and those who coula not get in yesterday, will have an oppor. tunity of getting » sight at these wonderful specimens of humanity. To-day you will have to go early if you wish seats, asthe Museum will nodoubt be crowded. ‘The jopians perform for the last time but one to-day and to- night. ‘They give a grand performance, with others, afternoon at’3 o’clock, and in the evening also. Don’ of seeing them, Cuatuam Tueatre.—In these days of great elec tion excitement, where there is sucha vast falling off of the patronage of other theatres, itis surprising to what an extreme extent this house holds its own, and even increases, This goes to show that the public will appre- ciate real talent and enterprise wherever it may be found, and should Deverna continue to pursue the same liberal course as that with which he has begun, he may antici- pate aspeedy fortune, To-night, the bill is oue of ex- citing interest For the first time of this season, Steven’s new spectacle drama, called the Spy of St. Mare’s, in rted, and the’ which Connor plays Homode) and Mra, Preston, Bianca; and after songs and dances by Miss Wood, Mr. Winans and Mr. Brooks, the eapital farce gf the Weatherceck Miss Reynolda and Mr. Conner playfig the chief characters Let it be borne in mind that Miss Reynold’s benefit takes pluce on Saturday night, when a splendid bill will be pre- Fented, and thatthe henest of Me.

DertoraBee Occurrence.—-An unfortunate event oceurred last Monday morning at Twelve Mile(Grove, 15 miles west of Rockford. A person by the name of Andrews had a pre-emption right to a tract of land which he had occupied for some years, and upon which he had just erected a house. However, an indivi. dual named Morris Perce, either through fraud or some mistake of the land offic rocured @ certificate for the same tract, and avowed his determination to take pos ion, He accordingly repaired with three others by the name of Sumner, all armed, to the house built by An drews, and they entrenched themselves in it, barricading the doors, ke. ‘The neighbors penerally, regarding An irews as the rightful possessor of the land, took part with him, and some twenty of them armed them with rifles, &c., and proceeded to the scene of action. A gun was fired from the house, when three discharges imme. ‘ook place from the outside. A. ball from one of the guns hit Perce, passing through his heart ond also through an arm ofone of the Sumners. Perce instantly jumped out of a window, ran abont ten feet, and dropped lown dead.

Moffat, who is not tobe found in the country, but who is now among the missing.” The declaration contained four counts, each count putting a diftwrent meaning on the libel; the first count stating that it meant Mr, Moifat left the country to avoid his creditors; the second, that he left it for improper purposes; and the third, that he had left his business; and the fourth stated some other won- derful thing, which we don’t remember ‘she libel was put in, and admitted. Joun M. Quackenwoss was sworn and examined.—Is brother-in-law to William B. Moffat, the plaintiff. Plaintiff is engaged in manufacturing Moffat’s great life pills; the business has become very extensive, and was so on the 2d of June last. His place of business was 325 Broadwa: The paper in which the libel was published is extensively circnlated; it is circulated through defendant’s customers, andthrough the mail. : Cross examined by Jonoan—Was married in October, 1842; is not connected with Moffat in the business; first became acquainted with William B. Moffst in the of 1842; witness knew of Moffat’s being in business a year or two before he became acquainted with him, witnesses’ reason for having a knowledge of the circulation of the paper, was from being in the employ of William B Moffat. Mr. Moffat went to Europe in October, 1842, and returned in August, 1843, There is a paper pub. lished in Moffat's establishment, called the Good Samaratan, (Here the Samaratan was handed to witness by Mr, Jordan, and proved to be published on the 11th of Way, 1843], The witness,in reply to Mr. Jordan, conti ned to say that he gota list of Comstock’s customers from 4 man named Henry J. Drew, who lives in Jersey. Wit- neas did not request him to make out or furnish this list, is ewn offer to make it out: witness thinks he gave him $10 for it; did not know the liat was stolen from “omstock; thinks Drew told witness he got it from one o| Comstock’s clerks; it is a part of our system to make agents, and by that list we made a good many agents; that was one of otir objects in getting it; witness called at Com stocks store, and found tnat he had counterfeit pills which he designated as Moffat’s Life Pills, and told him he was selling them; went there to see if they were genuine, and found they were not, and said he must stop sellieg them; this was before we aivertised Dr. Comstock; the next ol» ject witness had in getting the list was to inform Com- stock’s customers that the pills he sold were counterfeit. This was the substance of this witness’ testimony. Mr. Jonpay, on behalf ofthe defendant shortly addressed the Jury. He’said it isjan oldjsaying and a true one, that two of a trade can never agree; the parties were both ma aufacturer’s of pills, and occasionally crossed each other's path; they both had papers under their control, and abused each other whenever it auited their convenience His present object was to show that there was nothing in the libel complained of reflecting on the plaintiff. Mr. Jordan, in continuation, said that where two meanings might be attached to a publication, one culpable and the other innocent, a Jury were bound to attach the invocent meaning to it, and it was their duty to read the alleged libel, and see that the writer in- tended to insinuate that William B. Moffat left the country with an intent to secret himself from his creditors Mr. Jonpax was proceeding to read Mr. Moffat's paper, the Good Samaratan, when. Mr. Sexpen interposed, ov the ground that a libel writ. ten by athird party on defendant was no ground for de- fendant to libel plaintiff, The Count overruled the objection and allowed the ju- ry totake counsel from the Good Samsratan, in their de- liberations. ‘After Mr. Jonvan had done reading a volume of puffs and libels, the case was rested His Honor then charged the jury. I sary for them to find whether thé passages in the libel were meant in adubious or innocent sense, and the only way they could come at it is to read the libel, and then tay in what sense they themselves would understand it; itit only meant that Mr. Moffat left the country and would return home, why then it is no libel, but if you come to contrary xense to that, and that it meant he went abroad for any improper purpose, the libel is supported. ‘There is no specific evidence hefore you to support those words. and it 1s for you to consider whether they were used in some of thoge injurious senses attributed to them by the decfaration. ‘The jury, after an hours deliberation. rendered a verdic! for¢efendant.
