NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Pucsauy, April v, 1944. ELECTION RETURNS TO-NIGHT. SEE THE HERALD BULLETIN. BY SPECIAL EXPRESS FROM THE WARDS We have made special arrangements to receive at this office from every District in the several Wards, the re- turns of the votes for Mayor and Alderman, 43 svop as they are counted. We expect to receive enough of the returns to be able to tell who may be elected Mayor by 9 or 10 o’clook to-night, which result will be immediately placed on our bulletin. It may take a longer time to as- certain who have the Corporation. The Municipal Kleyion To-day. ‘The election for charter officers, from Mayor down to Ward Constables, takes place this day, beginning at sunrise and ending with sunset, and a more important election has probably never been held in this city, at least in relation to our city go- vernment, for the last quarter of a century. Let us present a few points of importance. Within halfa century this city has grown up from an insignificant place to be the mighty metropolis oi a mighty continent. In every point of view New York is progressing rapidly on the heels of London and Paria, the great capitals of the old world. Its population at this day, ineluding its suburbs and faubourgs, is probably close on half a million. It is the receptacle and the central point tor two- thirds of the trade, intelligence, commerce, reli- gion, virtue, roguery and infamy of the United States. More discordant materials exist here than are to be found congregated together in any other city on this continent, in consequence of the vast accession of population from the four ;quarters of the globe. Yet, with this increase of popula- tion and property to govern, the management ot the affairs of thé city has remained in the same disorganized, ridiculous, unsystematized state which characterized it when New York was little more than a paltry village. For many years previous to the formation of the previous charter, sensible citizens attempted to cast aside the trammels of party, and to organise a movement that might lead to municipal reform in all ite branches But the shackles of party and the tram- mels of faction could not be broken. The same attempt was renewed when the present charter was formed;; but it also failed from the same causes. And so from time to time were defeated all efforts at retorm—all attempts to introduce honesty, inte- grity, economy and justice into the administration of the city affairs. But at last, within the past two years, a spirit has been gradually developing itself. which has burst forth at last, and been the cause of creating a new, a third party—wite some errors, it is true—but animated, kept together, impelled by & strong and vigorous spirit of reform of the city government. Thisisa brief sketch of the gauses which have produced the third party—the new party—as it is called “Young America,” which this day comes jorward with a complete ticket, bearing the names «f James Harper, for Mayor, and many of our best and most upright citizens as candidates for the other offices uader the charter. The grea object of thie party is to iatrodace and varry out all ‘the reforms relative to expen- ditures—to streets—to poliee—to* the tration of justice—to appointments for office, that we have been calling for without any respons for many years past. Ne doubt a great deal of angry and excited feeling has been awakened in the old factions by the entrance imo the field of this new and formidable reform party. ‘This was tobe expected, but we trust that the authorities and all orderly and well disposed citizens of ali parties will exert themselves to prevent amy out- break of breach of the peace, and that our city will, throughout the day present, the spectacle of a free, enlightened aud orderly people endeavoring to get a rood government in spite of the corrups tions of faction. We have nothing further to say on this question. We hope that the sense of the people of this city has been sufficiently awakened to the necessity of reform, and that this last effort to attain it will be united and successful. If the new party suceeed, we hope they will at once give proof of their sin cerity- by commencing the work of reform, and at the same time moderating those foolish religious and national prejudices which some of their speakers have endeavored to excite. This is all we | have to say on this subject, | Eviscorar, Caorcu LECTION.—We made a mistake yesterday in relation to the time of elect- ing wardens and vestry;nen in the several Episcopal churches. It seems that the election is held all this week.. Yesterday St. Thomas’s church elec- tion took place. To-day that for Trinity church The most important is held in the vestry room of St. Paul’s. The following is the Bishop’s ticket :— Cuurcuwanpens. Thomas L. Ogden, Adam Tredwell. Vererarmen. Teunis Quick, Henry Cotheal, Jonathan H Lawrence, — John'D. Wolfe, Edward W. Laight, Thomas L., C Poter A. Mesier, Anthony L. Underhill, William Johnson, Philip Hone, William E. Dunscomb, William H. Herison, Robert Hys! William H. Hobart, Henry Youngs, Alexander L. McDonald, Samuel G. Raymond, Gulian C. Verplaack, Philip Henry, Tus Greatest Insuny Yer.—For two or three years past, Thurlow Weed of the Evening Journal, of Albany, every now and then endeavors to say some hard thing against the Herald, but ‘thes everest thrust is that which he has given last week. In making some remarks about the ‘ Native Amey| ricans” in this city, Thurlow opens his eyes and discovers for the first time, the Merald had been as- sisting them, as also the Journal of Commerce. And on thie, Thurlow says that the Herald and Jonrnal of Commerce are worthy of each other— | are on tho same level—par nobile fratrum. Mr. Thurlow may say anything he chooses against our character and reputation, but to say such a thing as that we are on a level with the Journal of Commerce, and the man who let out the Tabernacle for filthy luere, one day for the saints ot God, and the next for the devil—that is too | much, indeed. This is the unkindest cut of all. | We mast certainly take satisfaction, and we will | have it—in a legal way. We don’t mean to break the laws of the State, but we wont stand such a slander—that we wont. { | | Important Tyter Movements.—We hear it stated that.the mission of Captain Bob Tyler and | Joel B. Sutherland (who Is now a eorporal in the | guard) was to make arrangements for the peaceable | removal of Mr. Curtis, the Collécter. lt is said that this negociation has been completed—that | Cattis is tp go out like a well-bred dog—that | Charles G. Ferria, (a frend of Calhoun) is to be appointed the Collector—that Ely Moore 1s to be Surveyor—and a general sweep is to take place } in the Custom House of all the friends of Webster afd Clay now there. This movement is part of the grand effort to secure the next Presidency for Captain Tyler—an event which we have full faith | in, although we know no more than the man in the moon how it isto be done. We believe in Cap- tain Tyler's luck—that’s enough. Naroratization.—We understand that over 1009 foreign born persons have been naturalized during the last fortnight. If that be the case, and a they all go for Tammany Hall,they must carty the day, adminis. | Masor Gexerat. Morgan Lewis.—This venera- ble patriot of the revolution, a soldier in both wars, died oa Sunday, at his town residence, No. 72 Leon- ard street, at the advanced age’ of ninety years.— A condensed biographical sketch of his military and civic career will be of interest to our citizens. Francis Lewis, the father of Morgan Lewis, was a native of Wales, He came to this city nearly a century and a half ago, and established himself in the mercantile business, which he carried on ex- tensively and prominently, He took strong ground with the colonies at the passage of the stamp act, was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He died in 1513, at a very advanced age. MorGas Lewis was born in this city in Cetober, 1754. Destined for the legal profession, he received a classical education, and graduated Sat Princeton College in 1773. Thrown early into the exciting politics of the day, he was among the first to vo» Ianteer in the service of his country, and attached himself to a company of Pennsylvania riflemen that marched through this city to Boston after the battle of Bunker Hill. He remained with the be- sieging army under Washington before that place until the British evacuated Boston, and then he joined a New York regiment in the Continental service, with the rank of Major. With this regi- ment, in 1776, after Washington was driven out of the city of New York, he was sent co Canada. He was at Ticonderoga some time with St.Clair, but on the advance of Burgoyne, that fortress be- ing untenable for a seige, the garrison was com- pelled to evacuate it and retreat towards the main army then forming under Gates, On joining Gates he received a commission from the Continental Congress as “ Quarter Master General of the army of the North, with the rank of Colonel.” Upon the advance of Burgayne to Saratoga, Colonel Lewis took an active partin the several battles that terminated in the surrender of that General to the forces under Gates He was in his tent at dunch with several officers of distinetion, among whom was General Daniel Morgan, of the Vi a Riflemen, when the British Grenadiers, under Major Ackland, made a flank movement merely to change their position, which being observed by General Arnold, he directed Mor- gan to advance with bis riflemen and give them a few shots. This brought on a general action, which resulted in the defeat and surrender of the British. General Lewis always spoke in the most decided terms of Arnold’s talents and bravery as a soldier, deeply as he despised him as a traitor. The next battle in which he was engaged was up the Mohawk Valley, in an expedition under Gen. seorge Clinton against the refugees and Indians, led on by the celebrated chief Brant, and others Colonel Lewis led the advance in the fight which took place at Stone Arabia, and these bands of par- tizan depredators were entirely cut up and dis- persed. When peace took place, and the Ameri- can army under Washington entered the city, Col. Lewis, for the first time in seven years, set foot in the place of his nativity. Throwing aside the sword, he commenced the practice of the law, and goon occupied a high posi- tion at the bar. At the inauguration of Washing- ton as President, he commanded the military doing duty on that occasion. He was afterwards appoint- eda Judge of the Supreme Court of this State, whieh he held until the high party times of 1804, when Jefferson and Burr having become bitter ene- mies, he was induced as a friend of Jefferson to run on the ticket for Governor against Burr. He was elected over the latter by a handsome majori- |ty. It was this election that occasioned the duel of Burr and Hamilton. At the next election Judge Lewis wa: ted by Daniel D. Seapine, but | was shortly after electe’ to the Senate of the State from his native city. At the breaking out of the last.war, he was ap- pointed Quarter Master General in the army, by President Madison. shortly after he received his commission as Major General, and was again, at the age of sixty, ordered te the frontiera, over the ground of his youthful military career. He landed jou the Canadian shore in the army under Dearborn, | and captured Fort George. This was the last bat- tle the old soldier was engaged in. He was in command of the New York station during the re- mainder of the war. . Possessed of a large fortune he retired from pub- lie life, and resided alternately at his beautiful seat In Datchess county and his residence in this city. Major General Lewis was a perfect gentleman of the old school, easily accessible, for Wh had none of that stiffness or hauteur that many in his station was elected a member of the General Congress, and | Important from Texas—Annexation Feeling in that Republic. We received, by yesterday’s southern mail, thé | Houston Telegraph, of the 20th ult. It seems that the annexation feeling in Texashad somewhat died away ; it had nearly spent itself in its ‘hope deferred.” The excitement began there much earlier than it did in this country. It will soon show itself there again and be greater than ever. ‘The most impartial remarks on the subject inthe Texan journals we give below:— {from the Houston Telegraph, March 20.) We have often been com: lel “to smile” at the strange and contradictory reports that have lately been circuluted | by the journals in the confldence of the Government, and by the members of the cebinet, in relation to the aunexa- tion, Within the last three or four weeks all the journals in the coafiaence of the Government have been advocating the measure, with the exception, perhaps, of the Civilian; and they confidently predict that it will’ soon be accom: plished. It is stated that the President is now a zealous advocate of the measure, and is doing everything in his | power to expedite the negociations for this purpose ; and | has fully authorized General Henderson (wlio has gone to | Washington by the way of Red River,) to conclude a treaty for this purpose. The editor of the Brazos Planter | says, “ that the Secretary of State said, that in less than | ninety days we should form an integral part of the United | States.” A gentleman who resides at San Felipe, has also informed us that Dr. Jones, the Secretary o! State, passed through that place a few since, and stated to his friends there that Texas would be annexed to the United States in filty d ‘The President has also said that we should “need no more Presidents.” ‘These statements are jeved by many of the friends of the Executive. itor of the Civilian however, who says his means of in- rmation are equal to those of any of his Contemporori i ‘that the bubble (anne: cently changed his opinio: hayron this question in a measure, It would really be difficult to determine what would be the result of the negociations, if they depended upon the intelligence derived trom the government or its organs re- Jative to this subject. They are confident that the treaty will soon be Sakenesed to the Senate of the United States, he- cause Gen. Henderson, our Minister, will conclude the treaty ‘immediately after he reaches Washington. We conless, that if we based our hopes of annexation on such data, we should not fee] at all nine of its ultimate success. We believe, indeed, we consider it certain that a majority of two-thirds of the Senators of the United States, were in favor of annexation ; on the 13th day of January and for a week or two previous, when Mr. Van Zandt wrote to Judge Terrel, mentioning that if he were authorized to conclude @ treaty for annexation, thirty- Senators would readily rati ly it, And if atreaty had at that mo- ment been concluded with Mr. Upshur, we doubt not it New Orleans. {Correspondence of the Herald.] Naw Orveans, March 30, 1844. By the schooner John Barr, which arrived here yesterday from Vera Cruz, we have the gratifying intelligence of the release of the Bexar prisoners. The English minister had arrived at Vera Cruz, and was shortly to leave for Mango Clavo. Our minister would leave there about the 25th, in an American vessel of war. The Mexicans threaten | to declare war, in case of the annexation of Texas | to the United States, Certain it is, that a great | show of militaty preparations are being made, and | messengers are constantly on the toad between | Mango Clayo and the capital. I am much afraid that serious consequences will follow so rash an act on the part of our government, which, may God avert. } For two days past we have had no mail R mors have reached there that Mr. Dorey, the Col- lector has been rejected by the Senate. This will be agreat misfortune, as he has given great satis- faction, and the office was never so ably filled. It is believed that the ex-president of the notoriously vundered Atchafalaya Bank, James W. Breed- love, will succeed him. This, however, is not likely—for the President will hardly take ‘the risk of nominating such a man while his mismanage- ment of this bank’ yet remains to be cleared up, and the suit brought against him for nearly $200,000 excess of issues to be accounted for, is still undecided. Raye The New York stockholders in this bank should employcounsel to assist in the conducting this suit as a large amount is involved, and can be recoverec if ordinary diligence is used. It is eaid the Presi- dent and some of the directors are still rich enough to refund. There is very little change in the cotton market since the last packet frem Europe. Every body is waiting the arrival of the next packet, Cotton is in a very languid state, and still declining. Many of our houses will Jose largely, and some will be en- tirely prostrated. The stock of western produce is large and accumulating, and prices have a down- ward tendency. The sales of tobacco amount to about 1500 hhds. at 2,3 and 4 cents, for crossed, seconds and firsts. ‘The rates of exchange stand firm, the demand being fully equal to the supply at the highest rates. a ! ‘Texas mozey has materially declined, and is ls. Rue would have been ratified, and Texas at this time would he | an integral part of the United States, The President, how- | ever, at that time, wag of opinion that the best method to | secure the accomplishment of this object was to profess to | be opposed to the measure ; and Mr. Raymond, who bore the despatches to Mr. Van Zandt, stated in this city while | on his way to Washington, that wecould best accomplish | our object by profe ig to be adverse to it. We ried some reasons te that if the treaty fs not yet ratified | and no resolution in favor of annexation has heen passed | by the Senate of the United States, the measure will not | be effected by treaty, at least during this session of the | American Congress, ‘There are many indications that a | reaction unfavorable to annexation has taken place in the Northern States within the last two months and the ar- rival of the British Minister at Washington, with express instructions to open negociations relative to the Oregon question, with which Texas is indirectly connected, will tend tulprotract,if not to defeat,the negociations which are ding. The resolutions passed by the Senate of Mass- achusetts, will prevent her Senators from voting for the treaty, and they were counted upon as tts supporters. We have received a letter from an intelligent member of the democratic party in the House of Representatives, and he states that most of the democratic members of the Eastern und Middle States are opposed to annexation, upon the round that Il strengthen the slave holding States — ‘e mentioned several weeks since that some of the friends of Mr. Clay desirad to defer the treaty until alter the elec- tion of Mr. Clay, in order that he might have the credit which will naturally attach te the President under waom it is effected. If, therefore, the treaty is not yet ratified, and a majority of two-thirds of the Senators are not yet pledged to ratify it, we shall give up all hope that any treaty fog the annexation of Texas tothe United Statés will be ratified by the Congress now in session. Our only | hope of success will rest upon the proposition of Mr | Black, of Georgia, to attach an amendment to the Oregon | bill, to allow 8 to be annexed to the United States as a part of the territory of Louisiana We think the statements, that General Woll had five | thousand men on the Rio Grande, are very inaccurrte, A | few months since General Woll had only seven or eight | hundred men under his command at the stations on the Rio Grande above Matamoras, and only four or five hun- dred in Matamoras. ‘There were no large bodies of troeps at any of the towns north and east of san Luis Potosi from which he could have obtained large reinforcements; and we should doubtless have received information if re inforcement were despatched towards the frontiers from Mexico or other places south of San Luis Potosi. Gen Woll may have received reinforcements of five or six hun- died men within the Last three or four months; but we are confident his whole force on the Rio Grapde does not ex ; hundrel men. The Mexican Government is malting no preparations to refit its navy. Al the wail ves oat: of life foolishly keep up; he wasa model of what an American gentleman should be. He had en- peed high rank and honors, and in all he eonduct- ed himself with urbanity, kindness and dignity.— At the time of his death he was President General of the Society of Cincinnati and the last surviving Colonel of the regular army of the revolution.

The building is a plain, unpretending structure of about 120 by 50 feet. The interior of the church, although yet in an unfinished state, presented on this sacred occasion a very pleasing and imposing appearance. Evergreens in great variety, in tasteful arrange- ment, which lent easy elegance, Cecorated the walls, galleries and pulpit, and a collection of good pictures, lent their aid to heighten the effect. To an observer, at the eastern entrance of the church, the altar, with its rich ornaments, and sacred insignia, presented a very imposing appear- ance. A splendid painting above the altar, contri- buted a great deal to this, and the collection o/ bouquets in rich china vases, garlands, &c., which ornamented the altar, were beautiful. There was a large assemblage to witness the ceremony, to whom, after the celebration of hign inass by the Bishop, an able and nervous discourse was address- ed in German, by the Rev. Mr. Humbhlin. The morning services ended at one o’clock, but were | resumed again in the evening, when a very excel- lent discourse in English, after vespera, concluded the services of the day. Travian Concert.—The second concert at the Tabernacle by the distinguished Italian artists now in the city, came off last night. ‘There was a large attendance—the house was nearly full, and the re- ception given (o the performance was warm— hearty—it was that of an audience judicious and discriminating—it was a spontaneous tribute to the merits of the artistes whose good taste and master- ly execution were hardly equalled even by the good feeling with which their services were volun- teered in the aid of a benevolent cause. The beautiful Signoriaa Borghese never appeared to better advantage; and the effect, which, after all, is perhaps the best test of a musical performance, the effect produced in “La Donna” and duetto “Non @ ver non e quel Tempio” was very strong, almost contagious. The “Grand duetto Concertante,” for the clarionet and flute, by Messrs. Kyle and Graen- velt, was exquisite. The whole “soirée musicale” was a proof of how well merit can be appreciated in this city, and n powerful display of the talent of the performers. | | Hionway Ronnery.—While Joseph W. Witten- berg was returning home on Sunday evening about 11 o’clack, he was met by « man when near the corner of Mott and Mouston streets, who inquired the time. Mr.W. replied hy did not know; the man then asked what street he was in, and before Mr. W. could reply, ie was struck over the eye witha sharp instrument, which stunned him, aud he fell. He was then robbed of his watch and seven dollars in money. AS soon as he recovered, he called for the watch, but neither his own watch nor the city watch came. The ent over the eye is two inches} in length. Serious Accrpenr on THR Erm Rattrosp.— As the ‘freight train of cars of the New York and} Erie Railroad where coming down last Saturday evening about nine o’clock, the locomotive went Cnarrer Evection, Jersey Crry.—P.C.

The Mexican trade seems now to be entirely concentrated at Corpus Christi Scarcely any traders now visit Bexar, Victoria, or any other westerns towns, but great numbers almost dail} visit Corpus Christi, and goods to the amount of many thousand dollars have been recently sold at that place — Several vessels with large cargoes of goods have lately sailed directly to this port from New Orleans and other ports in the United Stat The Mexican officers stationed om and near the Rio Grende compel the traders to pur- chase licenses from them to trade at this point, and it is said that the Mexizan government has given these officers permission to sell licenses to the traders, and the sums y receive for these are applied in payment of their sal aries. Col. Kinney has the entire control of the trade, and so great is the Confidence of the Mexicans in this gen tleman that many of them on their arrival at the fort, go immodiately to Lim, and deposit their money in his hands, and depute him as their agent to make all purchases fer them. By this means they evade the impositions and frauds that might otherwise be practised upon them bi transient traders, who have no interest in common wit the proprietors of the fort, and merely visit it to dispose of their goods to the best pessible advantage, with the view of leaving it as soon as they have sold out. F From Ancentins.—We have received La Gaceta Mercantil, published at Buenos Ayres, to the 29h January. It contains no news. Montevideo still held out against Oribe and Brown, and it would continue to hold out as long as a loaf of bread could be obtained. Why don’t France and England step in and stop this foolish war? From Jamatca.—By the Governor Robbins, arri- ved yesterday, we have received a Kingston Jour- nal of the 13th inst. The paper contains a few items worth extracting. “A correspondent at Port loyal writes as follow: ‘Yesterday was a day of great anx- iety at Fort Royal, information having been given that a pirate was in the offing. Commodore Sharpes immediat despatched three armed boats, under command of Capt. louston, with Lieut. Griffiths, Me. Biddlecome, Master, and forty men, who proceeded outside the keys, but by which time the vessel had disappeared—the boats cons quently returned at sunset. The veasel, a schooner, been lying too between Yallahs and Plumb Point, and is more than likely her object was smuggling more than piracy.” ‘The sugar crop at Barbadoes had been cut short in con- sequence of the weather, at least three or four thousand hogsheads below the lowest previous estimation. The same may be said of nearly all the West India colonies. — The weather had, however, changed for the better in most of the Islands with the exception of Jamaica, We observe that the Barbadoes papers complain sadly of the want of a lunatic Asylum and acemetery. Rather suspicious for Berbedoes, this.—New Orleans Republican, March 29. Tue Travevina Srason.—This is to be a great travelling season. Visits to the country—to the watering places—to neighboring cities will be fre- quent. Inanticipation of these movements of the fashionable world, some of the finest steamers we ever saw have been placed on the different water routes, The boats on the Hudson and Long Island Sound appear like so many Fairy Yachts, with stéam and spirit mixed in equal parts for their propelling pow- er. One of these, the Massachusetts, Captain Com- stock, is decidedly the fleetest and most magnificent of all fairy steamers. She rons to Stonington with pussengers for Boston, Her state rooms are beautiful boudoirs—her berths the most comfortable resting places for a warm or a cold night—and her cwistne one of the best on our inland waters. This steamer, under Captain Comstock, makes less time than most steamers. Travellers leave here at five in the afternoon and reach Boston at five the next morning Tue News raom Berrien [Np1a.—On Saturday morning last we published, in anticipation of any other paper in the city, very important intelligence very heavy, 8 percent bonds celling for 13, and 10 do. for 14. This description of money has seen its best days here. i Our Iegislatnre adjourned on the 25th without providing, for the payment of the interest on the onds of the real estate banks. Indeed it has dene very little since it first convened. We ure certain- ly in a sad way here—every description of property is taxed almost beyond endurance, and yet the reople do not find themselves in any respect re- ieved. The city debt is enormous, and while its aflairs continue tobe conducted by that arch finan- cier, S. J. Peters, ant as long as he can gull the people and make a dollar by it, it will never get out of it 3 He is a remarkable man, and has arisen from nothing. He came here an adventurer, without a cent in his pocket, from Canada, and by connect- ing Tuiteall ith the whig party, and getting a bank under his control, he has literally rode rough-shod over the people, and amassed a large fortune, al- . thouga it is believed that without bank facilities his ‘speculations in property would have ruined him it at since. 5 : he city elections will come off on Monday next, and if the locos succeed in turning the whigs out of office, it is more than probable that before the end of a year, much will be done to reduce ex- penses and pay the city debt, at least to provide for the interest on it.

A number of persons testified to the disorderl; “character of the room, which was under the boarding house of Mrs. Morton,and which was leased to Wilson by the landlord of the building. To rebut the evidence brought to bear by the prosecution, a number of witnesses were called by counsel for the defence, who testified that Wilson’s house or room was conducted in a peaceable manner, and was the resort of qost respectable persons, . the 2 dary did not agree upon a verdict and were dis- charged.

There is a paragraph of this sort in the last Sunday Mercury about a second- watch, a gilt, &c., which happens to be without any foundation whatever, and which, as told, lack: even the merit of being witty. Mr. Corlies, of the Bowling Saloon in the American Museum build. ing, isa gentleman; and_ neither “ Bob Corlies,” or baseless jokes, can aflect him; but it strikes us that when they go farther, and imagine gifts oj watches to one’s wife, to found a mere joke upon, the “fun” is carried rather too far. Superior Court. Before Chief Justice Jones and Judge Oakley. Arnu. 8th —Decisions—In this case an action wa: brought on a promissory note. ‘The declaration was en titled generally of the term, although the note fell due on the seventh day after term commenced. The defendant’ attorney took an objection to the caption of the declare tion, and also insisted upon the production of the capias tc ascertain if it was tested on the first day of term. Th: plaintifs attorney made an affidavit stating that the bil: i i was due, and tha the teste of the writ was the day on which it ds thi the court thought was sufficient why the postponemen’ of trial should be allowed. Joseph S. Leggett vs. Joseph Gulick—In this case an ac tion was brought for assault and battery and false impri sonment. A court martial was held, a fine of $5 imposed, and a warrant issued to the Marshal directing him to lev. it off the goods and chattels ofthe plaintiff, and if no good. were found, then to take the body aud deliver it to the keeper of the city prison; but first directing the Marsha! to speed an inquiry, and ascertain if the plaintiff was ar infant or of fullage. The Marshal returned that he hao sped the inquiry, and that plaintiff was of full age, but no er or chattels were to be found, and then took the dy. For this taking the plaintiff declared, and defend- ant’ pleaded, that no improper violence was used. ‘The plaintiff demurred on the ground that a fine of 76 cents was demanded for a fee, that the court martial was noi properly organized, and that the arrest was made for the fee as well as for the fine. Then comes the point before us—was the warrant in pursuance of the statute, and did it give proper authority. We think the care }9th Johns, which was in allusion to the war between Great Britain and this country in 112, bears out the objection. It ap- pears to us the plea does not sufficiently show the court martial was properly organized to impose fines, and it ix indispensably necessary that they should show that they were properly constituted and organized before fines can be imposed; here Haniel shown but a mere delivery of a warrant signed by a body of men calling themselves acourt martial; we think, therefore, that the warrant was defective, afid the plaintiff’ must have judgment with li- herty to’ defendant to plead de novo in’ payment of costs within ten days after notice of this rule. Benj vs. Moses Y. Beach-—In this case an ac- tion for a libel was brought by the plaintif!” dant ; the declaration contained three counts to which the defendant filed pleas, denying all the matter stated in the two first counts, and justifying, the matter set forth in the third count in general terms not seeing fit to disclose it the justification is, but avering that if such justifica- tion is trae, and proved that it justifies the charges on the face of t bel. ‘T'o those pleas the plaintiff demurred on the ground that defendant did not spread on the record the matter of justification. Judgment for plaintiff with liber- ty for defendant to plead de novo in ten days after service of this rule. Howard vs The City Fire Insurance Company.—This was amotion fora new trial on the ground that pro) testimony was not admitted, and also on the ground of misderection in the Judge's charge. We are of opinion that the Judge took the correct view of it, and he was not bound to let it tothe jury, and the motion must be de- nied Maibee vs. Beaumon —Motion to set aside report, on the ground that relerrees erred in allowing certain costs, also Cotnsel’s fees for extra services; and on the further ground that they had allowed a certain debt under a conditional promise made by plaintiff after he had taken the benefit of the bankrupt act. Report to be set aside unless it is mo- dified so as to exclude the sum allowed under the condi tional promise. Fee eso v8. Hevrick.—New trial granted on payment of costs.
