It recess, having undex- also been recenstructed, and the Judge’s Bench bax been removed to the eastern side of the court room. The Re) table has also been changed toa very location. The “bustle and preparation” at the opening of the term, together with the crowds oflawyers, who were in attendance, with their briefs and papers under their arms, indicate the prospect of a smart run of business during the term. ‘The civil calendar is unusually heavy. A few inquests Were disposed of, when the court adjourned. Oven axp Texouner, September 1.—Before Judge Parker and Aldermen } role and Compton.—A Spe- cial term of this court was set down for this day, when, in the absence of Judge Edmonds, Judge Parker of the third district, opened the court, Jurors.—Considerable delay was occasioned in pro- curing a jury, several who were summoned being ex- cused from serving on various grounds, by which they stood exempt under the statute. No Grand Jury were sworn, the term being a special one, held to dispose of adjourned cases, ‘he difficulty in procuring a jury, many persons who were summoned preferring to pay fines rather than at- tend, shows the reluctance with which men of business will undertake the duty of jurors, without noe ation: for these services. ‘The entire jury system in this city, is a radieal defect in the law of the constitu- tion. Jurors, in almost every other State than New York, receive compensation for their time and services, and the refusal to pay jurors who serve and are kept from their families and busit during an entire tei isa perfect anomaly in our history. Several cartmen, who have to depend Seon their daily labor for their ordi- nary support, and to whom their families have to look u to for subsistence, were brought before the Court, ani some only were excused from serving. ‘The frequent complaints that have been made on this subject have passed away “like the idle wind,” and all the clamor that may be raised against the abuses in the jury system will pass for naught, unless the parties who are interest- ed and are most aggrievec lopt such a course as will bring the matte: ler the consideration of the Legisla- ture at its next vn.

No information could be ob- tained as to the manner, or by whom, the body was thus deposited, and the Jurors be Stabe a verdict of “ Death by causes unknown.” Mysrenious Dearn.—Last evening the Corouer held an inquest atthe house of Mr. John Cassidy, corner of Flushing and Franklin Avenues, upon the body of an aged colored woman named Filetta ‘l'ownsend, who died suddenly at a dwelling occupied by her between Spencer and Walworth straets. It appeared from the testimony of Messrs. Charl james Criffith (a city watchman), W. C. Betts, and Mary Ann Townsend (a daughter of the deceased), that the latter had for some time past complained ot a choking sensation in her throat, and that to alleviate her distress, she had pro- cured of Dr. Hudson, of Myrtle Avenue, some tartar emetic. After taking this, she stated she was much re- lieved, but in a few hours expired. The Jury found that she came to her death by causes to them unknown. Country Common Pixa$.—The September ses- menced yesterday ATURE, to be disposed of, principally appeals from tribunals of lower jurisdiction, possessing very little of public interest or importance.

Povice Martens,—But very little business was trnn- sacted at the police office yesterday. Amongst the most important, was the arrest, by officers Bird and Felt, of a Mrs. Gray, the wife of the man who feloniously appro- priated to himself the large sum of money lost by a gen- tleman at Providence, R. L., a short time since,—the par- ticulars of which have already been stated in this paper. The man went off'to Ireland, but a portion of the money was found upon the female arrested, and she is commit- ted to prison to await anexamination. The officers met with a desperate resistance from some of the woman's friends when they went to take her into custody. A man named William Bennett (a common drunkard) was sentenced to six months imprisonment at the com- mon jail, for an assault upon Mr. Pierson, of Bridge st ; and a colored woman named Margaret Jackson was sent to prison, in default of bail, for throwing water upon, und otherwise assuulting a very pretty little girl named Nos- trand, residing in Tallman street. John Burns and Jeremiah Cochran had a fight in front of Cunningham & Harri distillery, in Front street, an bedaubed each other, from head to'foot, with the filth that lies there. They wore fined each $4, and dis- charged. Charles Barnes, a lad—attendant of an ice cart--was arrested for stealing a silver fork from a house in Wil- low street. Losr Cuiip.—A little boy was found asleep on board one of the South ferry boats on Sunday afternoon, with no one to protect him, and brought to the office of the Coroner. He was clothed in a plaid dress, and his age is sprerently, about two years. He could o himee , but it is supposed his parents reside in New York. Acciwent.—A man named King, was seriously injured at the Cobb dock in the Navy Yard, on Saturday last. He was driving a longiron bolt, when he slipped from the log on which he stood, and fell with his stomach on the head of the projecting bolt. senseless fora long time ; but he is now, although seriously injured, in a fair way of recovery. A Puaiustic Hero.—A soi disant relative, and name- sake, of the celebrated English puligist, Jem Ward, has been for several weeks in prison in Brooklyn, ona con- viction for having been eakened ina prize fight at Wil- liamsburgh. Prior to the battle, (if such it may be called,) in which he was concerned, he had plenty of friends and backers but since his incarceration there is “none so poor as to do him reverence.” Rowpns ao Louncxns.—We again call upon the popular and. excellent Mayor of Brooklyn to’ remove From the side-walks, end the corners of three or four streets in the vicinity of the Police Office, arcel of blackguards,who mect together for the express purpose of insulting females as they pass by.

Four railroad lines are in contemplation in New Eng land, the subscriptions to which are nearly filled up Of the Portland and Montreal Railroad, $2,500,000, the Canada portion,had been subscribed, leaving a deficiency in the capital of $300,000, which must be taken before the company can be organized. It is thought that it will be raised. Of the Portsmouth and Concord Railroad $600,000 has been subscribed. $200,000 more is required. It will probably all be raised in New Hampshire. To the Worcester and Providence Railroad, $700,000 is subscribed. $300,000 more is required, but it is said that the feeling in its favor is subsiding, and that it will fall through. To the Rutland Railroad $1,000,000 is subscribed in Vermont. $1,500,000 more is required. Books are opened in Boston, but it does not move. If carried through, it will have to be done almost exclusively by Vermont capital. We annex a comparative statement showing the value of some of the principal articles imported into the United States forthe years ending June 30th, 1844 and ‘45. The returns from which this statement is made are of an ofli- cial character; those for the year ending June 30, 184: are not, however, entirely correct.

The decrease in the quantity of sugar imported has been caused by the in- creased production in this country. ‘The sugar crop of Louisiana in 1843 was short, the yield not being nue! more than half the average. In conseqttence of this, we had to import more largely than uswal to supply the de- mand for home consumption. ‘The crop of 1844 was about double that of 1843, and the deficiency between the homo supply and the home demand being less, re. quired a more limited importation.

The increase in the quantity of the productions of this States reaching tide water from year te year, has not until within the past year been very large. ‘The amount trans- ported in 1843, was only fourteen thousand tons more in than 1836. The increase from 1842 to 1843 was one hun- dred and twenty thousand tons, and from 1843 to 1844 one hundred and thirteen thousand tons. In 1836, there was only a little more than fifty-four thousand tons of the productions of other States transported to tide water on the Erie Canal; in 1839, the quantity had more than doub- led, and in 1844, it had reached three hundred and eight | thousand tons, or nearly six times as large a quantity as was transported in 1836. It appears, therefore, from this statement, that the sources of any increase of consequence in the tonnage transported to tide water on the Erie Canal, are beyoud the limits of this State. The transportation to tide water of the productions of our own State, on our own canal is not very difficult to secure, but it is the transportation ofthe productions of other States on our canals that we aim at, and which we should leave no effort untried to secure. Neighboring States, East and South of us, are making desperate attempts to draw the westesn trade away from this city, but our natural and artificial advan, tages are too great to be successfully contended with. The internal improvements progressing so rapidly in the Western States will, when finished, be of immense benefit to our public works. Since the opening of the Miami Canal extension in Ohio, merchandise can be transported from this city to Cincinnati for one dol- lar and twenty cents per hundred, by the way of the Erie Canal and Lake Erie. By the way of Pittsburg it costs from $1,75 to $2,50, according to the state of water inthe Ohio. This opens to our public works, the trans- portation of merchandise to all parts of the Westerm Southern and South Western country, by the Ohio and ivers, as the expense’is less than the cost of transporting the same kind of goods from Philadelphia or Baltimore.

BY LAST EVLNING’S MAIL, . Washington. {Correspondence of the Herald.} Baxtimore, Sept. 1, 1845. Business Prospects Brightening—Democratic felo-de-se— Ganblers Arrested—Accidental Death—Nativism—Rail- road Accident. ‘The first of September has arrived, the time looked for- ward to by our merchants with so much anxiety fora verification of their anticipations with respect to an ex- tensive full trade, But the season has, so far, greatly an- ticipated itself, large numbers of merchants, principally from the Far West, having already arrived and made their purchases. With a proper display of energy, ac- tivity, and enterprise, a sufficiency of the Southern and Western dealers, who pass through Baltimore on their way to the North, could be detained to greatly enhance the commercial character of the city. Within the last two years, however, much attention has been given to this business, and the trade of the city has, consequent- ly, been nearly doubled. If these dealers had to pass through New York to get to Baltimore, I expect iol few of them would ever reach their destination, even our market should in reality be superior—so the Yorkers must not grumble when they miss the sight of some of their old customers. The Democratic Convention have disregarded my ad- vice, and nominated for the Sheriffalty the ¢ of the Tylerite wire-pullers, John Kettlewell, with the un- derstanding that il elected Charley Loran is tobe Depu- ty. Never was a more suicidal course adopted, ensuring us itdoes the defeat of the party, beyond all en: ture. Had they taken up Tt ‘Mitehell, David Hudson, or any other but the friendless and unpopular John Ke' tlewell, they could have walked over the course. whigs have a clique, a“ Court-house clique,” it is gene- rally admitted, but they have never trodden down the in- terests of their party with the tyrannical power exer- cised by the new-tangled “ Tylerite clique,” which has assumed the control of the democracy. I see that John Mitchell has come out nobly in opposition to their tyran- ny, and will receive three votes to Kettlewell’s one, as an independent candidate. Kettlewell’s nomination also brought out James O. Law, the most popular man in the city, as the whig candidate—so, you see, the coons have the upper hand of the roosters so far, and are in ex- cellent spirits. Writs were issued on Saturday last, for the arrest of the gamblers concerned in ‘‘clearing out” young Isaac Jones, and George Campbell, George James, and Wil- liam James, were arrested, and held to bail in $1000 euch, to answer. The whole amount of the money lost, is $10,300, but the tale accompanying the writ for the arrest of the parties, shows lim to have been the most verdant youth that the thirteen original Stat. boast. Had I have been in his place, I should have poc! eted my loss and said nothing about it, rather than have exposed myself to have been such a double-distilled ig. he now represents himself to have been. But a contession, it is said, is good for the soul, if not the pocket, and Abraham Hyam, and Green, the reformed fambler, should take him around the country, and show him up as one ofthose peculiar geniuses, Who are an- nually victimised by the Baltimore gamblers. A young man, named James Fogler, was instantly kil- led on Saturday’ night, being run over by an engine, whilst going to a fire at the Marine Railway of Mr. Skin- ner, on Federal Hill, which was wholly consumed. Capt. Henry A. Thompson the valorous hero of Fort McHenry, who thought that his commission was of no value a during peace, and threw it w e ghost of a Seminole Indian, 1s going to lead the aboriginal natives on to victory or death in the coming congressional cam- paign. Ho thinks that congressional campaigns, or Fort Mecilenry campaigns,are much to be preferred to Florida campaighs—perhaps, however, he had joined the Peace Society aud felt conscientious qualms’ with respect to g shot at from the Everglades. At any rate, if there should be a war with Mexico,we natives are not going to fight whilst there is so many infernal Irish and Dutch in the country to fight for us. Come on, Bustamente, who’s afraid, ‘The train of cars that left this city last night for Phila- delphia ran over a man lying on the track, supposed to have been drunk, about fourteen miles from the city, killing him iustantly. He appeared to have been a labor: ing man, but his name is unknown. “No blame,” &c. Puiavetruia, Sept. Ist, 1845. The Odd Fellows hada procession to-day for the pur- pose of participating in the ceremony of laying the cor- ner stone of a new Hall, about to be built at the corner of 6th and Haines streets, near Race. They did not turn out with their regalia, but in lieu thereof, wore white strips of ribbon in their button holes. They made quite astirring parade, but about three o’clock their ranks were somewhat thinned by a heavy shower. It cleared off, however, in a few moments, and they marched the balance of their route without interruption. The Court of Quarter Sessions commenced the Septem- ber term to-day, Judge Parsons presiding. The charge to the Grand Jury is a long and able document. 1 was not at either of the theatres on Saturday night, but was told that they were all full—Burton opening the Chestnut street to a large and fashionable audi Mrs. Mowatt and Mr. Crisp appear at this latter establish- ment to-night in Sheridan Knowles’ play of ‘The Wite.” ‘The Wallacks appear to-night at the Walnut street The- atre in the “Lady of Lyons”.

A splendid building, named the Sailors’ Home, in this city, which has been frequently alluded to in your paper is now nearly completed. It has accommodation almost equal to those of our first hotels, for one hundred and fifty sailors. Rev. Mr. Lord, favorably known asa warm friend of seamen, will have the superintendence of this establishment. If sailors understand their own interests, they will give it a hearty support. By doing so, they will not only be greatly benefitted themselves, but will also be the means of shutting up many of the abominable holes which are now open as sailor boarding houses, and in which every crime, not excepting murder, is fre- quently committed. Another such an establishment in the north end of the city, I believe would ultimately be productive of much good. Father Taylor, the sailor parson, in this section of the city, has great influence with seamen, and is much beloved by the community at large, and af he, therefore, would take hold of a project to erect another Home, he could carry it through suc- cessfully. The old fellow is of the right temperament to goahead. Nothing that he undertakes earnestly can fail for want of a fair trial. As there is nothing of great importance stirring at present, I will relate a small anec- dote or two of this jolly sailor parson. A few years since he was blazing away from the pulpit, broadside after broadside against the wicked mess of seamen. Hell and all its terrors were laid so completely bare that only avery small effort of the imagination was necessary to smell the brimstone, and hear the howling of tor- mented fiends. As he was in the middle of one of his most terrible pictures, an old rusty-looking salt got up and was walking towards the door, when the par- son sung out “the enemy flies—our fire is too hot for him—we have knocked his top-hamper down, and now he is crawling off under his lower masts.” All'eyes (the church was crowded as it always is when he preache: were turned towards the sailor, who, perceiving that th last remarks were levelled at turned round, and looking the old man full in the face, said, in a pretty loud voice you're damnably mistaken, old cock, if you think your shot has made this craft haul off—you never saw the day you could make meastory lower. I’m only jist going to get a glass of grog, and if you'll take a turn there ilP come back, I'll let you see how I can stand your broadsides.” “Good” cried halfa dozen sailors,“‘go it Jack,” cried others, “you'll make a first rate parson—try and other expressions followed. The whole au- some laughing, othe ing to restore ord hushing and endeav all was quiet again, Father Taylor, by no means discon- pio! certed,—having apparently enjoyed the joke himself,— d, “‘thatis a ore old sinner; but we have hulled him—he has got it hot and heavy between wind and water, and uniess he hauls into the gospel dock, he'll go down all standings pumpin can’t save him now.” The sailor returned,and Father Taylor resumed his discourse; and it is a remarkable fact that he never lost amt of th old salt until he succeeded in converting him. The sailor is now a very respectable man and would blush to the eyes ifany one would but even allude to this circum- stance. Our market during the past week has presented no new feature. ‘The rise of provisions in the Southern markets has had a tendency to make prices firm here, with, in some instances, a slight advance for beef an pork, for shi) se. Molasses and Sugar still hold their own, but the supply has been equal to the demand. The steamer Hibern which leaves this day, will carry outavery large mail, and a goodly number of passengers. Captain Ryrie expects to arrive at Liver- pool a day before the Great Britain. ‘The weather on Saturday and yester beautiful.

The Washington cor- respondent of the Charleston Mercury says there is to be a Court of Inquiry, composed of three officers, to investi- ate the charges preferred against Lieut.
