New Yorx Jockey Ciup Spring Mrerinc—Se- conn Day, Wepnespay, May 14.—The’ attendance and sport yesterday were but of a very limited cha- racter, although the weather was much more favora- ble for sport and agreeable to spectators. A pretty smart shower at an early hour in the morning some- what improved the course, and laid the dust; but yet the track was very heavy. There were not more than four or five hundred persons present on the course and stands throughout the day, and these ap- peared more engaged at the tables and bars than with the sport; a very striking contrast with the thousands upon thousands that were present on the previous day. The first piece of sport was a Plate Rare, $500, to carry 104 lbs., three mile heat: T. Kirkman enters br. h. Sartin, by imp. Luebuno, 6 years JK Vab Mater enters br. b: by Mercer, out of Miss Mat- tie, 6 years old. Barney mounted Sartin; and a colored boy called Jack, crossed Mercer. The betting, previous to the race, was all in favor of Sartin, who had the call, but yet not much was done on either horse. The prin- cipal was on time; 60 to 40 was bet that it was not done in 5.44; even on 5.55. Just previous to the start, 100 to 20 was offered on Sartin, which was treely taken. | Mercer had the poll, and at the first tap made a ood start, closely waited upon by Sartin; they kept well together round the bottom to the quarter, but the pace was rather slow—they thus rounded the top and down the quarter stretch ‘to the drawgate. where Sartin appeared two lengths behind, an Mercer led the first mile in about two minutes.— They took it easy to the first quarter in the second mile, but on approaching the half Bamey commenc- ed pulling upon his animal, and gained some little upon Mercer, and continued thus to the three-quar- ter ; at the drawgate, Sartin red to be gently closing the gap between them, but was some two or three le: behind at the judges? stand at the com- pletion! of the second mile, which was done in about 155. On going down for the third mile, Sar- tin lessened the distance somewhat between him and Mercer, and strove hard to catch him at the first quartel, but without effect, and followed up his en- leavors tothe half with no better success. 40 to 100 was now offered on Mercer., They kept on this round to the top of the three-quarter, and down to the drawgate, Burney wae every endeavor to reach Mercer, but the other had the foot of him,and the Boy came in re his horse up, and complet- ing his third mile in 5 52, some five or six lengths in advance. ’ Previous to the 2d heat,the betting was 40 to 60 on Mercer taking the money, 60 to 40 that Sartin would take the nextheat. They started well together,but im- mediately fell behind ‘close in on the track, where Barney kept Sartin’s nose to Mercer’s tail round to the half; and, on going round the top, appeared to bring it more forward still, but shortly after fell off Geek making a gap of near a length between them. Mn approaching the drawgate, the cry was “Sartin has got him; Sartin has got him;” but not so, Mer- cier led home the first mile about two lengths in ad- vance, in about 1 58, Sartin trying hard to the con- trary.) Barney kept up his endeavors to catch Mer- cer, liut it was no go, and up the back stretch and round the top there was an evident increase of speed on both sides; and at the drawgate Sartin appeared to gain on Mercer, but yet not sufficiently to catch him effectually, and the latter completed his second mile in about 1 55, about two or three le is in ad- vance, They went forth for the third mile thus— Barney trying his utmost to come up, and appeared between the quarter and half to be somewhat more successful, as he closed the considerably, but could’ not maintain it sufficiently so as to be of much service to him. Sartin again came up well at the drawgate, but Mercer kept his position, and led home easy three lengths infront, completing the second three miles in 5 47. _ The result of this race surprised the knowing ones again, and some money changed hands on the occa- sion. It was little thought of that there was an ani- mal in the Jersey stables that could defeat one of the Southern crac vise a three mile race. The riding of Mercer’s jockey was much admired; he rode with great skill and judgment. The following isthe summary :— First heat. Second heat. Mr. Van Mater’s Mercer, (Jack,) 20 1 58 1 1 565 te 1 54 5 52 5 a7 The next piece of sport announced was a purse of $850 entrance, $10 added, mile heats. D. Toms enters gr.h. by Monmouth Eclipse, out of Moss Rose, 6 years old. Ch. O. Lloyd enters ch. h.by Monmouth Eclipse, dam by Oscar, 5 years old. Wm. ae enters gr.m. by Duane, out of Jewess, 5 ears old. 79. Tou Brosck enters b. im; by Zingaree, dam by Con- tention, 4 years old. Only Mr. Ferris’s gr. h. and Mr. Lloyd’s ch. h. showed on this occasion. They are half brothers by Monmouth Eclipse. The chestnut, a most beautiful looking creature,of a very bright color, drew the ad- miration of all present ; he was ridden by the youth, Wm. Haggerty, in a pink jacket and blue cap; an the other by James Munroe, in red jacket and cap.— Previous to the race the betting was even, the ches- nut the favorite. _ They went forth in very pretty style, the grey ha- ving the poll. They kept together to the quarter, where the grey looked very like a winner, as he had increased the space between them, but on passing the half the chestnut went in front, but not without great endeavors on the part of the other to prevent it, and kept well up with him to the three quarters, round the top and down the quarter stretch to the draw gate, where the chestnut led about a length in advance, well pushed by the grey, but the other led home about a length and a halt in front, in 1 min. 52 sec. Previous to the start for the second heat 20 to5 was offered on the chestnut, with but few or no ta- kers. The grey went well of at the start, having a litte advantage, but ere he reached the quarter, the chestnut took it from him,and maintained his po- sition to the one half. Round the top it looked as if the chesnut was going to run away from the other all together, but at the three quarters the grey pushed in a little, reducing the space between them. Coming down the quarter stretch 10 to 1 was offered on the chestnut, A SS grey on the inside, and notwith- standing a push made by his rider, the chestnut came in some six lengths in front, in 1 min. 564 sec., winning the purse with ease. Inciwents oF Tue Great Rack on Tuespay.— Immediately after the first heat, the next thing in importance to the race itself was the speedy transmission of the news to different quarters, and eundry persons connected with the newspa- per press were on the gui vive for that purpose. About ten or twelve pigeons were sent off with the tidings, tome to Philadelphia, others to this city. At first they kept hovering about the course fully a quarter of an hour—now in one direction, now in another—at one time disappearing, and again returning to repeat their flight. What became of the Philadelphia birds we have not yet learned, but it appears that of those which started for this city, those freighted with the intelligence for this otlice performed their task—in other cases it was a complete failure, but in ours the winged messengers flew with amazing celerity and promptitude to their habitations, enabling us to announce the intelligence long before all others. Two large trees that grew on the left and not far from the Judges’ stand, were occupied by at least three or four score of individuals, who were deter- mined to see the race and the whole race. Some of these climbers went to a dangerous altitude, and others clung to the extremities of branches appa- rently unfit to bear them. In one instance, this im- pro exposure of life and limb was nearly proving urtful to two persons, one of whom, supported by a slender branch, laid hold on one above hun,on which another person was perched, and the result was they both came to the ground, but luckily unhurt. Mr. R., a respectable merchant of this eity, was precipitated from the top of a high omnibus, during the excitement of the race, when it appeared as it some powerful impulse passed through the crowd, like the heavings of an earthquake. He broke his collar bone. During the interval between the first and i heats, there was a decided determination “of the crowd on the great stand from the ends towards the centre, where the stairs were placed and nearly oppo- site the Judges’ stand. Curiosity to learn the exact time, to see the horses, and the second start, and pro- bably irksomeness, arising from the heat and pres- sure, were causes of this movement. Be this as it may, when they had produced a regular jam from the stairs, and within twenty yards of them, a sud- den, sintultaneous shout arose, “fall back, fall back,” and’ at the same instant a retrogade motion of the dense mass took place in great confusion. The plat- form had given way, precipitating three persons fif- teen or twenty feet into the regions below. One of the three caught hold of a beam in descending and recovered his place above ; the other two were hurl- upon a faro table uninjured. Thismight have proved a very fatal casualty ; the panic produced was power- ful, and had it not been arrested in time to stop the Tetreat, the consequence would have been that the outer board wall, three-and-a-half feet high, that protected the platform, would have been forced out and five hundred or a thousand persons precipitated thirty feet. The writer was seated on this barrier at the time, and can safely say that had the rush con- tinued a few seconds—perhaps one second ibogater bad consequences would inevitably have ensued; and of this most appeared sensible, for consternation sat on every face. _ The crowd had hardly recovered their senses, when a noise and hubbub in the rear of the stand an outside the entrance doors, attracted all eyes.— “They're at it—there’s & row—pitch into it—damn it,what cracks,” and various other exclamations and notes of admiration were heard around. And so it was, a regular set-to. From the stand it appeared something serious,and asif a large number were en- gaged. It turned out, however, to be a single com- bat ; one of the cl pions appeared under shelter of the rear wall of the stand a few minutes after,under- oing the process of lavation at the hands of a friend. He appeared badly hurt and much exhausted. He wore a bad scar on his throat—his eye was bound up, and his face showed symptoms of great pain and extravasation. We suspect there was some foul play used ; the discomfited was small, delicate in person, and had only one solitary individual to comfort him: Races To-pay over TH ion Course, L. L— There are four entries for the two mile race, and two for the purse of $500, three mile heats. The betting on the first race is two to one against any named horses Some good sport is anticipated, but should the weather prove stormy, the whole of the 'Theatricals. | Castie Garpen.—The second opera night at Cas- tle Garden attracted last evening an audience, | which would have been considered extremely large | in any great theatre, but in that colliseum-like archi- | tectural structure, the mass of moving heads ap- | peared like as many black dots on white canvass. | Considering the peculiar circumstances of this new | and original movement, Semiramide was—taking | all in all, very creditably performed, and afforded | much pleasure to the public. Piccola Diva was in uncommonly good tune and spirits, and probably | added many new admirers to her old ones. Ma-| jocchi, after having rusticated a year and a half in | lovely Bloomingdale, where she assisted Valtellina in the highly interesting occupation of improving | the growth of cabbages of every description, appear- ed again on the hot boards of a theatre. She has, indeed, improved very much. Her grand air, Oh bel raggio lusinghicro, was very well given, and deservedly applauded. In general her performance presented many good points, although she was de- ficient of dramatic power in the morceaus d’ensem- ble. Valtellina looked daggers, as usual; but, not- withstanding, sung uncommonly well. Antognini’s excellent method will always be considered some compensation for the by-gone freshness of his voice, but what, in Apollo’s name, makes him scream so awfully? Itis extremely fatiguing to him and to the listener, and must necessarily spoil all the concerted pieces, where nobody is heard but him. Does he perhaps wish to perform all alone a quartette on his throat, as Ole Bull does onthe violin? We sincere- ly advise him to discontinue this bad practice of ri- valling the charcoal man, and to sin; Beautrallps as he cando. Mr. Beames wielded the baton much better than on the first night; he does tolerably well for abeginner, and shows much talent, but the task of leading an opera like Semiramide is rather toomuch races will come off on the following day. Four special trains will run for the Course from South Ferry, Brooklyn, at 93, 103, 114, and 124 o’clock. Arrairs IN ALBaNy.—Judge Southerland still sur- vives, but his dissolution is hourly expected. In the Senate this morning, the bill appropriating the surplus $197,000 among the unfinished public works,gave rise to an animated debate. Attempts were mi amend it by reducing the appropriations, but without ef- fect, and the bill passed by a vote of 14 to 9; 9 members absenting themselves since the vote on the convention bill. The democratic members who refused to act with the Whigs, on the convention bill, sought the aid of the whigs to carry this bill. The committes of conference have agreed upon a sub- stitute for the certiorari bill. It amounts to a general re- hearing of claims before the canal board. The bill to reduce the rate of interest has been reported for the action of the Senate. This is an indirect way of re parting against the bill. * The dill to allow a drawback on mineral coal brought on the Erie Canal from Buffalo, (the Beaver Meadow coal, I believe) is report. upon adversely. The several railway bills were reported to the Senate. The Rochester Bank and Commercial Bank of Albany bills were reported complete. An adverse report upon the bill for a divorce to Mrs. Van Riper was made. . The bill which passed the House yesterday afternoon to amend the act in relation to common school education in the city of New York, was reported for the action of the Senate. It was laid bn the table, with the understand- ing that that was the last of it. in the Honse the following bills were passed :— For preservation of public waters from coal, tar and re- fuse at gas houses in the city of New York. To incorporate the Brooklyn African Tompkins Asso- ciation. To incorporate the New York Gallery offine Arts. In relation to the Municipal Court of the city of Brooklyn. In relation to the Marine Hospital and its funds. For the settlement of the accounts of John R. Brodhead. To facilitate the construction of Morse’s electro-magne- tic telegraph. In relation to judgments upon recognizances in New York. In relation to liens created in favor of mechanics. ‘To allow transcripts of judgments from Justices’ Courts to be transferred to other counties, then to become a lien upon real estate. = raise a fund for building an alms house in New York. To incorporate the Laborers’ Union Benevolent Society in New York City. Concerning the Croton water stock in the city of New York, The House, having disposed of all its material busi- rook: ness, except th n ferries and the supply, at an early hour took a rec The ny weather has so reduced the water in the Hud- son, that the navigation is somewhat impeded. Individ- ual exertion, thanks to John Tyler, will have to be re- sorted to to keep open a clear communication between your city and the western States. The flag was hoisted on the capitol to-day, anda sa- lute fired in honor of the event. The Senate vote on the railway bills, at their recess, at half past7 P.M. It is more than probable that all will pass. The amount of tolls taken on all the canals, from the opening to the close of the first week of May, is $346,837 against $323,819 last year. In the House, the Brooklyn ferries bill was defeated once, and then the vote reconsidered. What followed af- tor I know not.—Livingston’s ibany Letter, May 13.

It came in between8 and 9 in the Capes and occupied more than an hour in the reading. It is an able document, presenting the objections to the bill with the Governor's accustomed clearness and ability. We shall lay it before our readers this morning. The house proceeded to reconsider the vote on the Dill, and the vote stood 56 for to 51 against it. The constitution re- quires vote of two-thirds of all the members present, the bill was lost. The house adjourned at about mid- night. The Dill originally passed the house by a vote of 68 to 26, and the Senate by a vote of 14 to 9. Lectsiarive Summany—In the Senate in the afternoon, Mr. Lott reported in relation to the act relative to the sale and distribution of the volumes of Natural History, accompanying the report with the opinion of the Su- preme Court on the subject ; and the committee were discharged from the further consideration of the subject. ‘The several Railroad Bills were ordered to a third read- ing. The Senate, at 6 P.M., were engaged in the third reading of bills. The bill toincorporatethe New York Academy of Music was lost, 14 to 14. In the ‘afternoon, the bill in relation to rail road con- tracts, or debts, came down from the Senate. Objections to its immediate passage were made, but finally with- drawn ; it being understood that the rail road bills in the Senate were hanging upon its Paseage. It was accord: ingly read a third time and passed. ‘he New York and Brooklyn ferry bill was taken up.

Deatu or Jupce Surnertanp.—At half past six yesterday afternoon, this eminent and highly esteemed citizen expired in this city, whence he had recently re- turned from a southern visit, made for the recovery of his health, Fires 1x Boston.—On Monday morning, a tem- yaad rpenter’s hee in a court, opposite chapel in —— street, erected by Dr. John Bacon, while a dwell- ing house belonging to him was undergoing alteration, was setonfire. The dwelling house was nearly de- stroyed. Loss about $1500; insured. ‘The fire commu- nicated also to an unfinished brick dwelling house in the same court, owned by Stetson & Currier, masons, which was damaged to the amount of about $200: insured. ‘The rears of two wooden dwelling house: eupied by 8. L. Woodward and G. C. Germon, were injured to the amount of about $250 each. They were owned by Sam- uel Curtis, and were insured. Before this fire was extin- wished, an alarm camo from Belknap street, where the ivery stable of Alvah Trull was set on fire in the rear. ‘The ‘fire was extinguished with trifling damage. While the engines were at this spot, the carpenter's shop of Wm. P. Tolman, in the rear of No. 41 Southack street, was discovered to be on fire, generally believed to have been set, and was Le st enveloped in flames. It quickly extended to a jarge three story wooden dwelling house in front, No. 41, owned by Joshua Ben- nett, of Billerica, and occupied by Isaiah Ruby, cartman, colored man, and others, which was much injured. Some of the furniture was destroyed. A smail stable, occupied by Ruby, was also burnt. His horse was got out. The fire extended easterly to the rear of 4 houses fronting on Garden street, No. 29, occu- pied by Simeon Bruerton, whip-maker, the shed of which was injured ; No. 31, occupied by John F, Shepard, pro- vision dealer, which was somewhat injured, and the shed of which was considerably burnt ; No. 83, occupied | by Mrs. Ayer, which was injured to the amount of seve- ral hundred dollars ; No. 35, occupied by John Brown, | machinest, the roof of which was destroyed in the rear, | and the house damaged to the amount of about $500.— | Southerly, the dwellings of M: avitt, No. 1 Garden | street Court, Joseph Viles, No. 2 ; an unoccupied house, No, he dwelling of Rufus K. Ladd, No. 4; and John Ross, mason, No. 5, were nearly destroyed, with much of their furniture. A small wooden house, between May street and Garden street was wbout half burnt. Mr, Ladd lost nearly all his furniture. His loss is par- | tially covered by insurance at the Mechanics’ Mutual oO We have reason to think the estimate of loss by the fire in South Cedar and Piedmont streets, was too small. | It was probably upwards of $40,000; the insurance from 18 to $20,000, ‘The boy who was arrested ona charge of setting fire, was examined this morning and | liberated, the evidence, that of a boy only but little over | six years old, not being deemed sufficient to warrant his detention. Many attribute the hay vd of the fire to boys | fora tyro. We advise him to turn his attention towards English Opera, where a leader is so much wanted, and where he may prove very useful.— What we have to condemn is the liberty he took in leaving off the two strokes on the drums, in the beautiful chorus preceding Semiramide’s en- trance. It entirely spoiled the character of the piece. Aleader isthe slave of the composer, as the orchestra ought to be of the leader, It is true this is an independent, glorious country, on whose ban- ner, “liberty,” is inscribed with adamantine letters; but there ought, not to be taken any liberties with liberty. Speaking of leaders, we cannot but observe that the “ Seung Disa is ina very confused state in New York ; which may in some measure account for the inefficiency of our orchestras. It is divided between too many individuals, each of whom leads once or twice‘a year, and none of them can therefore acquire the requisite practice which alone can make a good leader. There are several amongst them who are very clever in instrumental music, but with regard to Opera, we entircly are at the mercy of Rapetti, who is generous enough not to abuse his power. Why does Mr. Timm, whose accompanying on the piano is unsurpassed by any one,in this country, and perhaps in Europe too, not turn his attention towards this branch, whjch cannot fail to bring him honor and money. The season at Castle Garden has now fairly be- gun, and we have not the least doubt that the public will sustain an establishment that has not its equal in the world. | It is a magnificent place, and would make a splendid locality for grand musical festivals, if the echo would not be so overpowering.— The opera unquestionably will draw for some time, and perhaps may do so for ever, if the illusion would not be so much destroyed through this undress rehearsal—opera—concert, that neither “fish nor man is.” We do not see the reason why the singers and the chorus should not appear in cos- tume, yet@by leaving the scenic arrangements as they now are, and which the public readily would excuse, uy aware of the limited capacity of the stage, Castle Garden then could be a summer Opera Theatre for many years, and its success would be without a parallel. " Establishments of that kind are not new in Europe, and in Germany particularly every large city has an entirely open summer theatre called “arena,” in its vicinity, which is connected with the principal theatre, where the same perform- ance takes place in case of bad weather. Some of them are built like Franconi’s circus in Paris, with sliding roofs, which are closed when it rains. Bi the by, what a glorious circus Castle Gatden woul €, not like the “cheap and nasty” shilling cir- cuses, but one ala Franconi. Is there no enterpri- sing individual, whe would import some of Franco- ni’s equestrian or human stars? Here is a gold mine that has not yet been explored, and nothing is easier than to do it; for we see by foreign papers that some of his meuibers have formed a company which cre- ates at present an immense sensation in Germany, playing to crowded houses at an ‘admission of one a Le Auriol alone would fill ten times Castle arden.

PThe principal witness for the prosecution, Dolan, ter- tified that he bought the ribbon about the Ist of January, and bad seen them about a week before af her shop. ‘The defence produced witnesses to show that th d had purchased the ribbons sometime before ( Another witness testified that he had seen the ribbons, or those he believed belonged to Mrs, K., in the window” of the store of the accused about about a week before he saw them in Dolan’s window. Good character was also shown. The jury, after a short absence returned a ver- dict of guilty: The court sentenced her to two years’ imprisonment in the State Prison, the shortest term the law permits. ‘The accused, who wasa tidy looking woman, protested her innocence strenuously, and declares that she had Boxper Trovsies.—The Sheriff of one of the counties of Missouri, bordering upon the north- ern line, when attempting to execute a writ for a breach of the peace, was assailed by a number of persons of Daviess county, Iowa. The prisoners, whom the Sheriff’ had arrested, were rescued, and the Sheriff himself taken into Raia for exercising illegal authority within the territory. The trial came off last week before Judge Morgan, of the District Court, and resulted in the con- viction of the Missouri Sheriff. The punishment is im- risonment in the penitentiary. The Judge sentenced ‘im to ten days’ confinement ; but before the sentence could be carried into execution, Gov. Chambers granted pardon. How long are the people of Missouri to tolerate these outrages? Something definite should done speedily, to settle the vexed question of boundary. At present, the people within the disputed territory enjoy the right of voting at our elections, and are represented in our legislature ; yet, when it does not suit to acknow- ledge the jurisdiction of the State, they claim to belong exclusively to lowa. By a law passed by the last Legis- lature, the Governor of this State is authorised to take measures to bring the questlon before the United States Supreme Court. This is the proper tribunal, and no time should be lost in placing the subject in such position that a decision may be obtained at the next term of that Court.

Morey vs. Davis Provost.—This was an action of trespass, to recover. damages for alleged slander, which had been uttered by defendant, in the summer of 1843 The parties reside in South Williams- burgh. It appeared that in the summer of 1843, the slan- derous words imputed, were uttered in conversations had with several witnesses, viz :—"Did you not hear a report about Morey ?—there isa bad report about him—it is said that he milks cows not his own.” After the ex- amination of some witnesses, a non-suit was moved for, on the ground that the declaration did not set forth the necessary ingredient to constitute the offence alleged, namely, the imputation as to criminality, The words “milks cows not his own,” may imply that intift may milk the cows of any party, with th sent, and the declaration was, therefore, vo hereupon granted a nonsuit, on the groun ingredient in relation to the imputation as to not being introduced inthe pleadings, affords presump- tive evidence that the defendant was not deemed alto- gether deficient in that quality, which the immortal never been in the store in her life—didn’t know where it was—that the two ies had sworn false, but she was perfectly satisfied that they should swear away her life if they liked, because she was perfectly innocent.

D, Parson.—.Assault and Battery.—This was an action of trespassto recover damages for assault and battery, alleged to have been committed on the 2d of February, 1844, at the Pacific Ho- tel, in this city, by one of the proprietors. It appeared in evidence that the plaintiff was residing at the hotel as a boarder, and not having duly paid up his board received notice to quit. His trunk, however, was detained in lieu of payment, and his room was locked up. The alterca- tion out of which the alleged assault and battery was committed, arose in consequence of plaintiff having gone back to the hotel, forced his way up to the room he occu- pied, and breaking open the door, in order to get out his trunk. The defendant forced him down stairs, when he clung to the bannisters on the staircase, and was eventu- aly ejected. ‘he defence putin was, that Cook, the plaintiff, being in arrears, and wanting to ‘do” the hotel-keeper out of his board-money, he (the hotel keeper considered) had a perfect aC in accordance with the provisions of the statute, to place a lien upon plaintiff ’s trunk, and to re- move him from the premises after due “notice to quit,” and the legal demand of pay for his board,upon the gene- rally recognised principle ; that after those requirements of the statute were duly complied with, Cook was a tres- passer, and was no more required either in the kitchen, or elsewhere on the premises, and his ejectment was a perfectly legal and “ fic” procedure on the part of the proprietor of the Pacific Hotel, who holds that “ every man’s house is his castle.” ‘The jury after a short deliberation rendered a verdict for defendant.

Van Cott.—Divorse - Covrr.—This case comes before me asking for anew trial of the feigned issues, as to whether the defendant committed adultery, the jury having found that defend- ant was guilty of the crime of adultery, upon the testi- ONY ented in. the case, which comes before me, on that ground for divorce. [ think the verdict of the Jury is not to be set aside on the ground presented before me; and I likewise am of opinion, that the affidavits do not furnish any sufficient grounds for settin je the verdict; and if the defendant was at all entitled to a new trial, it must be because the Judge erred. But the Judge has riled upon the testimony given on the trial. Two police officers, Seward and Joseph, were sworn upon the trial, and the fact was proved by them. The objection is not as to the competency of those two witnesses, but as to the testimony, after it was given. I consider that after the testimony was concluded, it was in the discre- tion of the Judge to refuse to allow any further examina- tion of witnesses. It is not such a case as when a party is injuriously affected by the rules of evidence. I am fully sustained in these views in the case of “ Willough. by, 3d Hill.” The next is as to the admissibility of a Shakespeare would call “the milk of human kindness,” | though stating that Morey was in the habit of “milking | his neighbors cows,” and therefore the slanderous offence | was not proven, For plaintiff, Mr. Jordan; for defendant, Mr. Whiting.

Last night there was quite a re-union of the vari- ous philanthropists, Socialists, Fourierites, Brisbane- ites, Collinites, and the different disciples of the ma- ny cliques that have for their common object the Augean task of remoldeling human nature, and the present desperate condition of society. The im- mediate and ostensible cause of this gathering of | the clans, was the celebration of the seventy-fourth anniversary of the birth day of their great leader, Robert Owen ; but we suspect that apart from that, there existed a lingering wish to try the effect of one more social meeting on the old plan, previous to their giving their final plunge into the cold water bath of the new order of things, as proposed by this Spartan band of regenerators. Be that as it may, there is no doubt that all the various cliques were most energetic in showing their complete abandon of feelings on the occasion. The party was held in Franklin Hall, in Chatham Square, and the room was brilliantly lighted up, and adorned with banners bearing the various mottoes of the sects. There was a full orchestra, and about seventy couples of both sexes kept up the dancing with much spirit— country dance, Spanish dance, cotillion and walts following in rapid succession. Refreshmeats were handed round in the intervals, and the “young Ame- rica” of the regenerators evinced the great perfec- tion to which good breeding has been cultivated among them. Inconsequence of the absence of Mr. Owen, the speeches which were anticipated still re- main unuttered, though an address to their leader, as their common father, and congratulatory in its pur- port, was read by a gentleman. Altogether, we think this one of the most recherche parties that has taken place during the season, and pitting the So- cialists against the sugar hogshead aristocracy, we decidedly think the former are ahead in the race of getting up entertainments, though some allowance must be made for the time the latter have lost in their education in qualifying themselves forthe wearing of the ribbon of the court of bankruptcy.

It appeared that the Common Council authorised the Comptroller, who died in 1843, to draw his warrant for the ‘required appro- priation, but the Gry ey? did not do so, and app! tion was made to the Board for reliet in the prem: Mr. Exy, on the part of the Finance Committee report- ed adversely, on the ground that a question of law was involved in relation to the granting of the required ap- propriation. ‘he report was ,referred to a special com- mittee.

Mr. Sx1pMone: moved that the resolution be laid on the table, as he had a very important report to make in the premises. : Mr. Desny seconded the resolution. M. Nicoux trusted that the motion would not be al- lowed for one moment to pa: The law called upon them to apply to the Common Council to pay over this money. Mr. Skipmore contended the board had a right to let the resolution lie on the table. Mr. Rich considered the resolution ought to be al- lowed to pass. Mr. Sk1pMone.—Last year a similar attempt was made to pass a resolution of this kind, when remarks were made questioning the legality of paying over such mo- neys. RIF. Ricn voted for such a resolution some time last year, and would do so now. Dr. Sweeney wished to inform the board, that there were teachers employed, who when they performed their duties, it would be an act of cruelty’ to postpone payment w hen they performed their duties with fidelity, jt would be an act of cruelty on the part of thé board to delay one moment paying them for their services. If there was a special case, in which there was a sufficient ground for delaying the payment, it was right to investi- gate ; but, if onthe contrary, no such ground existed, it would be cruel to delay. Mr. Sxipmone had an important report to present, and delay for a few moments ought not influence immediate action on the resolution. The resolution was laid on the table—Ayes 12, noes 11. ‘The aunual Report of the Board was taken up, show- ing that there were 107 public schools in existence in this city, and also the appropriations for public schools, The report was ordered on the file.
