Condition of the Ship—The Sick List—National Vessels I have no doubt in Port. 3° would like to hear from us here. ‘The reason that J did not address you before was in con sequence that we expected daily’ to sail from here for Rio de Janeiro, but up to this time there is no certainty whether we will remain here ou this cursed station or not. If the department determines on keeping this ship on this station, something must be speedily done to re- lieve her of her filthy condition. While slie was on the Coast of Africa, her hold became so very dirty, that the greater part Of the filth settled in between her timbers ‘and ceiling, so there is no possible way of cleansing her effectually but b: utting her ina dry dock, taking out her garbourd’strenk, and fill the dock with water, and then pump the dock’ out scrub the ship with good hickory brooms inside; at the same time, with a good engine, wash her between each timber, through the air streak, so the dirt would go out | the garboard streak ; then, and not till then, will she be | clean and fit to send to a clit like this. It’s God's | mercy that we are all spared at this time, with the dirt filth and bilge water from the held. All the paint-work | is as black as ink, and at night, when it rains, they clap gratings and tarpaulins ovor the hatches ; and so stron and suffocating 1s the stench below with the heat, tha the men prefer going on deck and standing in the’ rain and get wet, though nothing is more unhealthy. Our Doctor appears to be 80 very solicitons about the men’s health that he will not allow the berth deck to be cleaned, and it has not been holystoned but three times in five months. Nearly every day it has a profusion of dirt and white wash: with the wet and dirt and other filth upon it, you could plant potatoes. ‘This has every other appearariee to me than health, or the means to preserve health ; however, he is the son of the Emerald Isle. If something is not done pretty soon, between the raging of the bilge water and the conflicting opinions of the officers what should be done and what ought not to be done, we shall all die with the yellow fever. 1 would give fitty doilars for the Secretary of the Navy to pass one niglt on board, and see if he would allow fhe com- manders of Navy Yards to turn ships off their hands in @ condition to kill people ina sickly climate. If! had my way with the commander of the Norfolk Yard, and those concerned in cleaning her, I would keep them three months in the main hold for the benefit of their health, and see how they would like it. Your paper is much desired on board this ship, and one of the officers, when we were here before, went to the Postmaster at’ this place, (Hanson Kelly) and wanted to send the subscription to your paper fur two years, and he would not receive it, because it would give him a little trouble in writing to the Postmaster in New York to po: you two years subscription, the money having beeniate With him, I wish you would score those gentlemen who are so illiberal. ave no list of deaths to send you, but am afraid it will not be long before you will have to record the sad news | from this ship, if some speedy remedy is not seon pre- scribed. N. B —Since writing the above, we have several on the sick list. ‘The Captain is very unwell, and Lieut, Hun- ter so sick as to be sent to the hospital. The following vessels are in port :—Frigate Potomac, steam frigate Mis- sissippi, sloops St. Mary, Saratoga and Falmouth, steamer Princeton, and brig Somers. {From the Washington Union, Sept. 13.] Information from General Taylor's head quarters at Corpus Christi, has been received as late as to the 30th of August. Since his last despateh, seven companies of the 7th regiment of infantry have arrived at his camp. The General speaks in commendatory terms of the bat- talion of artillery from New Orleans, under the com mand of Major Gally. ‘The gallant Texians are determined to do their duty in defence of their State. President Jones has notified General Taylor that he has taken preparatory steps to organize one th nd men for service, if necessary. General Taylor has communicated to General Gairles his wish not to have any more militia force sent from New Orleans to him, not apprehending that there will be any occasion for their services. He states that there is no news from Rio Grande. Some idle rumors are oc- casionally brought in from that quarter, but the accurate information he possesses so entirely discredits them, that he does not chine them even entitled to repetition. (From the Cleveland Herald, Sept. 11.) Arrived this morning from Detroit and the Upper Lakes, the 2nd Battalion of the Sth Regiment of Intan- try, en route for Texas ; 5 companies under the command of Lieut. Col. McIntosh. he officers of this command are as tollows: Col. McIntosh; Capts. Scott, Morrill and ‘apman; Ist Lieuts Ruggles, Root, Stevenson and Whitall; 2nd Lieuts Brooke, Norvell, Geisse, Whiting, Howe and Smith. ‘They left to-day in canal’ boats for Portsmouth, and will proceed thence via New Orleans to Corpus Christi. ‘The Battalion numbers about 250 men and a finer specimen of troops probably does not belong tothe Army. They have been stationed for years in the healthy North West, and are robust, athletic, and ready and willing for hard service. United States frigate Constitution, Captain Percival, touched at Borneo Proper, April 9, bound to China. Brig Bainbridge was at Bahia July 27, and expected to inafew days for Rio Janeiro.

The brig Boxer was reported ready for her officers and crew, several days since, but has not yet gone into commission. She is rigged, newly painted, and part of her stores are on beard. Commodore Downes (in virtue of a subsequent order from the Secretary of the Navy) is still commander afloat, and the Ohio’presents the singular incongruity of two Captains without a Midshipman. Wo understand that the Cumberland, Commodore Smith, will return home from the Mediterranean, at the end of the cruising season. The Plymouth, commander Henry, will probably go to Mahon to winter. = News from the Anti-Renters. [From Albany Argus, Sept. 15.] 11, Friday, Sept. 12.—Thos. Deray, 2nd, a chief of ‘ook, Ulster county, was committed on Wednes- day evening. He ted at Scienceville, Greene county, by Uriah G ted by two other persons, When taken, he was armed with a rifle, dirk and pistols. He confessed to having been at Stamford, armed and dis- guised, last spring, when you will recollect, the rescue of tho prisoners here was Contemplated—but denied hav- ing been Sisguised since. é i x The Grand Jury came ints court this morning, having found sixty-six indictments against as many persons, for various offences committed prior to the murder of Steele. Eleven of these indictments are for robbery in the first degree, appearing disguised and armed and for riot at Middletown, last February, when Deputy Sheriff Pier- son was set upon and robbed of his papers, &c. Three of the eleven (Darius Robinson, Chas. J. Macumber and Geo. Tompkins) are in custody, the latter a brother of ‘Tompkins the constable and collector, who was sent to Sing Sing, last April. The other eight not yet taken. ‘The remaining fifty-five indictments are for assembling diguised and armed, conspiracy and riot, at the Stewart sale last spring, inthe town of Delhi. Of the filty-five indicted for this offence, the following are in custod, John Whitson, jr., John O. Liddle, And. Liddle, Ale: Beckwith, Jas, Burnhart, John Gregory, Wm. Reside, | Chauncey P. Wolcott, Miles R. Bramble, Homer ©, Ber- gin, Wm. Bryant, Wm. Smith, and Aug. Kettle, jr. Of | the residue of the filty-five, | cannot give you the names | until they are arrested. sri ‘The Grand Jury will, by to-morrow, present indict- ments against those concerned inthe murder of Steele. Some other matters, not noticed by the former Grand Ju- | ry, may also be brought forward ‘at this term. Indeed, | under the law against appearing disguised, &c , I think | all the anti-rent movements and outrages, are ina train | of full developement. ‘There appears to be a disposition among those implicated and in custody, to keep nothing | back. | three prisoners--John Crook, Peter F. Kittle, and Oscar Sandford. Kittle and Crook are residents of Dry Brook, Ulster county, Sandford resides in Middletown, in this county. Two of them were captured at Kingston, Ulster county, and the other somewhere on the river, making their escape. A large meeting of the democratic electors of our county was held on the 10th instant, at the house of (. H. Edgerton. John HH. Gregory, 1:8q., of Colchester,was chairman, and Albert Edgerton, of Delhi, secretary. It was resolved that the county convention be held on the 7th of October, and the town committees were appointed to call meetings to appoint two delegates from exch town to attend said convention, Exorsment, Atmost.—A man by the name of Bragg, who has a wife and three children supported by the town of China, and has for the last six or seven months boarded with'a Mr. Shorey at Blackinton’s Cor- ner, in this town, attempted to leave these parts last week, accompanied by Mr. Shorey’s daughter. But the steamboat not arriving at her usual hour, gave Mr. 8, an rtunity to get a precept into the hands of officer Say- ward, Who immediately ari him to Wiscasset jail, and returned the girl to her father, But she says she is most eighteen, and then she will let | St. Joseph arrived yesterday from Rio.

It contains | further information from Buenos Ayres. Rio pe Janzimo, July 26. 1845. | Although I have no local news of interest to commu- | nicate, yet the late advices from the River Plate, are of | the greatest importance, and I doubt not will meet with due respect and consideration, and find a welcome space in your widely circulated sheet. A young friend writes me from Montevideo under date of the Sth instant as fol- lows :— “In politics all is mystery,though it appears that some- thing in going on with the mediators in Buenos Ayres. The Rio packet is delayed a week awaiting the arrival of tho Comus from Buerios Ayres, and from the delay in that place and the news we have thence, she would not be detained here so long without something important caused it. Rosas refused in toto to treat with the minis- ters without they first admitted his right as a free and in- | dependent government, to lay on the blockade of this port, which is said was not allowed, some say positivel, by the French minister solely, while others say by bot! French and English ; and it was said that another period was given him to reconsider the matter and not aet has- tily, hence the motive of the delay aforementioned. It | is generally thought here that he will give way, and should such be the result, it will be his death warrant; while on the contrary, r or hostilities take place, he will still, in all probability, exist ashorttime, It is the general opinion that the French and English ministers are ver! ions with per- sons of credit, knowledge and respectability, both here and at Buenos Ayres. In the meantime this government and the worthy defenders of the city are struggling very hard for @ duily existence, by begging aud other lawful | measures; they buy from hand to mouth, and jt cannot | be doubted for a single moment but that they deserve | great credit for their much to be wondered at perseve- | rance and determination. If anything was ever worthy a good result, this party certainly is of victory and free- dom, and providence does appear to watch over them and all their undertakings ; for although poverty and inability have stared them in the face for upwards of 29 months, yet they have never for one moment given way to despondency or disunity, and this too in. the face of having enemies in their own bosom who call themselves neutrals and protecting only their subjects, though open- ly acting as spies over the acts and intentions of those who allow them the liberty of enjoying a good name with their own government.” “10th July.—-1 expected to haye written you something decisive by this packet, pafticularly as she has been de- layed a week for the arrival of despatches from Buenos Ayres: but lo! the anxiously looked for vessel arrives and brings nothing for the public—for the plenipotentia- ries she may, but nothing has leaked out as yet, nor are there any letters to any individual except of a very back- ward date, and these are scarce—so you ree we five on hope from’ day to-day and meet nothing but disappoint- ments, but when the mystery does burst, we may look out for squalls. I am told that some three or four English have been killed near and in the City of Buenos Ayres, | as asort of warning of what will happen if Mr. Ouscly | persists in carrying out his present vis ws.” It was confidently reported the morning the packet | left the River Plate, that a steamer had arrived at Monte- | video from Buenos Ayres, bearing dispatches for the British Charge d’Atfaires and French Admiral, commu- | nicatiag that the British and French Ministers had ad- | dresteda note to the Buenos ‘Ayrean Govetiinent/de: manding the immediate withdrawal of their forces from the Banda Oriental, and their squadron from the Monte- videan waters, giving three days for a final answer; therefore should not the war be brought to a close, it must assumo a very different character. Our next ad- vices from that quarter must bring news of the partial settlement ofthis long standing and sanguinary quarrel, ora rupture between the Buenos Ayrean Government and England and France. Our import markets have recently assumed a rather discouraging aspect for all descriptions of American produce, principally owing to the late very heavy re- ceipts of most articles of importation, Richmond flour is retailing very slowly at prices netting $6} a $7}; Bal- timore, $5}, but I doubt much whether a cargo of the last description would realize over 14/000 to nett $4 60. At Buenos Ayres, 27th ult. the article was quoted at 6 a7 patacoons on board. At Montevideo, 9th iust, ¢12 a$l4 currency, the former price to nett $6} Spamsh, stock 3,500 bris. At Rio Grande, 14th inst., Riehmond flour was quoted 19|j a 20); Baltimore, 17//500; Pernam- cuco, dth inst., sales of Philadelphia extra had been made | at 17); Trieste, SSSF, at 19/500 a 20), and et Bahia, 10th | inst., few transactions at 19/200 for Trieste, and 15| for Philadelphia; prices of American domestics are on the decline, and the markets very dull and heavy; Coffee, superior, 3) 3/500; good firsts, 3\j a 3ij1v9 and ordi- nary firsts, 2\\800 a 2/950. Hides have been in demand, and may be quoted at 190 n 195 rs. for heavy, to cost on board, 10 47 a 1078, and 200 a 210 rs. for light; on board, 11 01160 per Ib. Exchange on England, 26d, with an upward tendency. Freights for the United States are scarce, and shipping plentiful; the nominal rates are 70 a 80c und 5 per bag for the United States. * This remark alludes to the Portuguese, Sardinian and Brazilian consuls ; and Portuguese and Brazilian naval officers. i rm, and bent on tho pacification of this coun- | | 2 Very Lare From Jamaica.—The brig Orleans, Capt. Baggatt, arrived last night from Kingston, Ja., with papers to the 26th ult., inclusive. There appears to be very little news of impor- tance. From the Kingston Journal to Aug. 26.} ust holidays have passed off with great quiet- ness and decorum. ‘here has been less noise and re- | velling than we remember to have heard or seen before, | and we trust it is to be regarded as a proof that the mass | of our population are acquiring a taste for more rational and intellectual enjoyments than those to which the: have been accustomed to yield themselves up to at much seasons of relaxation and festivity. We hail these signs of improvement with pleasure, and hope to witness the gradual advance of our laboring population, both in the towns and in the country districts, in all the ennobling habits of civilized and Christian lite. It is to be regret- ted that Jamaica presents to the oye of the Christian | moralist little or no improvement in this respect. We understand that General Herard, the Ex-President of Hayti, who recently returned to this island from St. omas, again quitted yesterday for Santa Martha sw the schooner La Granadina. It is said that the Ex-Presi- dent purposes to spend the remainder of h. it Santa | Martha, He has been accompanied by b By avessel which arrived from Aux Cayes on Monday last, we regret to learn that the inhabitants of that place were under arms, awaiting the result of some factious propositions which had been forwarded to President Per- rott for his acquiescence. It is also said that should his assent be withheld therefrom, the partizans of the noto- rious Accaou are determined to proceed to hostilities against the government, with the view of cowpelling General Perrott to abdicate in favor of their rebel chief. The unsettled state of things in that ill-fated Republic, it is added, had so harrassed the mind of President Perrott, a3 to render the state of his health very precarious. When the vessel left, serious fears were entertained for lis recovery. ys Conspiracy To Row.—The notorious John Cheny, elias John Wells, was again betore the Mayor on Saturday, on the charge of conspiring with others to rob a countryman out of near four hundred dollars, on the ug before. Cheny is knownto the police of this | city and of New York, as an old offender against the The modus operandi by which he effects his de- signs, is as follows :—He has several females in his keo) ing, Who are sent out at night to perambulate the fash- iguable streets for the purpose of enticing men to a house, which he barat eee in the vicinity of Cherry and Sixth streets, where they are soon relieved of any sur- plus change they may have about them, and who are in- daced to decamp rather suddenly under the suspicion that “the husband has just arrived.” The complainant in the present instance, who is a storekeeper from some part of the interior, and, of course, unused to the gross deceptions of the city, was so nicely operated upon that he did not discover his loss till he got again into Chesnut street, where he met another female, to whom, in con- versation, he mentioned the circumstances of his adven- ture. Sho being one of the “lowing ones,” suggested | to him that he had been robbed, which, upon inspection, proved to be the case. Forty dollars being left in the | ocket-book out of 400. Cheny was arrested ‘upon this 8 iaformation, butthe female could not be found. T same person was in the hands of the police a short time 9go on the same charge, and all but thirty dollars of the money stolen returned, on condition that the prosecutor would not appear. ‘The police of course got paid for (heir trouble, Under the present police system, there | is actually a premium for robbery.

In the | present case, the arrest was made by a bungling watch- | uan, and the money will be recovered ; such is the gen- V belief.

Van Kleeck and Baldwin—which, by the way, itis proper to say, have not been made pub- lic, either in full, or to any extent before—the affair got up here being a romance, The only point of importance relates to the motive or the instigating causes to the commission of the murder. ‘The confession, it appears, entirely exonerates the moth er, andindeed every body but himself—the first circum- stance which led him to think of it being a jocose re- mark made by one of the sleighing party, upon which he puta serious and a wrong construction—being an inti- mation a toanother union, in case he became a widow er—a suggestion, it seems, which took such strong hold of his mind, that it left no room for remorse or misgiv- ing. ’s Conressions.—The Troy urday, gives an t {From the Troy Budget, Sept. 13.] The confession of Henry Green, as was announced by the Rev. Mr. Van Kleeck at the time of the execution, Was made to the Rev. Mr Baldwin and himself. It was hy the reverend gentleman first named, Green made is confession * fully, freely and frankly.” In regard to this matter the public very naturally, as well as very properly, foel an intense interest, Ie this confession, Green not only acknowledges his guilt, and the justice of the sentence he has suffered, but he divulges matters of thrilling interest, which have not yet appeared before the public eye, He acknowledges the motive which prompted him to commit the act. He states the circum- stance which first led him to the thought of murder.— Here we would state that the conjectures that are gene- rally formed upon this point are wrong. ‘They have al- ready harrowed up the feelings of one entirely innocent —whiose acts either prior or subsequent to his marriage, according to Green’s most solemn asseverations, kad no influence whatever upon him. We rejoice at this disclo- sure, for the sake of one who deserves the deepest sym- pathy of the community, andwho has already sutfered, and ‘still continues to suffer the keenest ‘anguish — Green states the feelings he entertained towurds his wife before, as well as atier his marriage, and up to the riod of the circumstance above alluded to which led him to first think of doing the termble deed—also his reste after that circumstance, and during the awful period of her sickn We are glad to say, that he does full justice to the memory of the poor woman who He states what he administered to his wife besides arsenic—and when, and under what circumstances he procured the arsemc, He states events that took place during that fatal sleigh ride to Hoosic. He states when he had the first feelings of remorse for his crime. But to the corrections: Green states that his first thought of murder was du- ring the Hoosic sleigh ride, and that the circumstance which gave rise to thut thought was something said to him by a girl on that occasion. He declines mentionin| the name of the individual, but in the most unequivocal manner, exculpates her from all blame. What she said to him Was said in a jocose manner, upon which he put altogether a wrong construction. Here then we have the motive which actuated him. From the moment this motive seized upon him, he lost sight of every thing but the one fell purpose of attaining, through the death of his wife, the hand of the young lady in question.— He was fully persuaded in his own mind that she would have married him in the event of his becoming a widow r. He says that this thought took such perfect posses- sion of his mind, that it entirely precluded all feelings of remorse while he was performing tho deed. ‘The thought of detection never for once was entertained by him, for the reason, he says, that he sid not know the stomach could be analyzed. The first feeling of remorse that he had, was when his wife refused to take medicine at his hands. Thus it will be seen, that out of the cir- cumstance of “something said to him by a girl,” during the Hoosic sleigh ride, grew the motive which prompt- ed him to the thought of murder. ‘The first that Green administered to his wile w: opium pills. ‘This is entirely a new point in the c: was not disclosed in the testimony. {t will be rem dered thathe went to Dr. Hull after pills to give his wife—that ie peared pills from Dr. Hull—and he says that instead of giving her these pills, he gave her two opium pills—that these pale contained no arsenic—that in consequence of their being too large a dose to accom- plish the fell purpose he had in view, vomiting was pro- duced, and they were thrown off the stomach. It was after this that he administered arsenic. And here is a new and interesting point, It has been generally supposed that he procured the paper of arse- nic onthe Sunday Daniel E. Dennison furnished bim with s two. It | the key to the store, where he said he wanted to get some oats for his horse. ‘This isa mistake. Groon says | he got the arsenic at atime when the store was open— that at this time there were several people in the store— and that he slily, and unperceived by any one, put his hand into the jar, and took ove paper of ursenic. ‘These corrections embrace the new points in Green's confession.

M. Stillwell, of Brooklyn, The motion was opposed by J. 8. Rolfe, E: (the gentlemanly and accomplished associate and part ner of the District Attorney) and the proceedings were conducted with much ability on both sides. Judge Greenwood decided that the conviction of Miss Coyle was technically eee, inasmuch es she had not com: had been defined by the Revised Statues to be of a vagrant character. Under these cir-_ cumstances, she was discharged from custody, to the manifest gratification not only of tie relatives and friends who were with her, butalsoof many other persons who were present. There is a sequel yet to be disciosed in refe- rence to this affair, which, we regret to state, will neces- sarily involve the reputation and standing in society of three or four persons heretofore deemed worthy and re- spectable.

At a coroner's inquest held in | Kings county, buta few miles from the city of Brooklyn, a few days ago, eight out of fourteen jurors made the eonfession that they could not sign their names. It may well be inquired of those who are so zealous in seeking to improve the moral and mental condition of t saws, Cherokees, and other tribes still less civilized, why more attention is not paid to the intellectual cul vation of the thousands in our own towns and villages who have never had the advantages of even a common school education ? Covpirion oF rue Srneers.—A petition, numerously signed by the most prominent and respectable residents oi Myrtle avenue, was sent to the Common Council last evening, setting forth the wretched condition of the streets in that section of the city, aud asking that some immediate measures may be adopted, by which the nui- sances complained of shall be abated. If there be officers appointed to attend to these matters, whoare paid by the people for their services, they should be made by the supervising authorities to perform their duties rigidly and promptly, or be at once dismissed. Susexcrep IvcepianisM.—Yesterday morning about 2o’clock, astable in Bergen street, beloaging to Mr. Joyce, was discovered to be on fire. Mr. J. was aroused by the kicking of the horses, and he fortunately was enabled to release them, but the buildings were entirely destroyed. Shavings were observed to have been put in two or three places of the weather-boarding of the car- riage house, evidently with the intention of making the work complete. Pouicr: Orvice.—The magistrates were fora consider- able time occupied yesterday in the investigation of a charge of perjury, against a gentleman connected with the legal protession in Brooklyn. As the matter is not yet disposed of, we do not deem it prudent to publish particul present. William Norton, Esq., attorney at law, of New York, is the complainant in the case. Poter Zabriskie, a colored man, was convicted of an assault and battery upon Rachel Underhill, and senten- ‘ocounty jail for thirty days.

Allow me, through your valuable journal, to notice that beautiful place on Long Island Sound called Eaton’s Neck, about forty-five miles from this city, whereon stands the Light-House, known as ‘“ Hunt- ington Light,” which is kept, in unsurpassing bril- lancy by our worthy friend Capt. Benj. Downing, than whom a more efficient selection could not be made, In the summer of °44 1, had frequent occasions to pass the Sound, and being generally on board of some one of the packet sloops that coast along the Island, the time at which we passed this Lighthouse vas unavoidably some of the dead hours of night, when said light always shone with splendor, equal indeed, if not superior to any other on either shore from Plum Island to Sand’s Point. In the month of August last past, with my friend Dr. B—, I spent a tew de ‘p at this place, (Eaton’s Neck,) and must say that [ never was better pleased with any couniry place Lever visited. There is plenty of good fish- ing, a splendid beach for sea bathing, a fine chance for sailing, an invigorating sea breeze continually playing around, and above all the magnificent view presented on the Sound on either side, and as far as the eye can reach, by innumerable snow white sails passing to and fro upon this mighty arm of the ocean, together with the beautiful appearance of every surrounding object, while the sun is making his golden set beyond the shores of Connecticut, makes this a desirable spot for any of Mr. Down- ing’s friends who may wish to spend a few weeks in a pleasant and healthy situation.

Comrort FoR TRAVELLERS.—We have just seen a new invention, called “The Railway Pocket Com panion.” Itis the size of a Court Guide, and contains small bottle of water, a tumbler, a complete set of sur cal instruments, a packet of lint, and directions for m ing awill. Itis very elegant, being bound to lok like book of poetry, and its utility cannot be doubted for a moment when the bills of mortality are proving every day the great charms of railway travelling. We can con- scientiously declare that the “Railway Travelling Com- panion” should be in the pocket of every gentleman who is in the habit of going on the railroad. {t should be sold at every station Punch. ‘The farmers of the northern counties in Ohio are making arrangements for wintering their cattle in the Central and southern parte of the State, Gen. 8, Ford, of Geauga county, has effected an arrangement for the keeping of a large number of hoad in Mad next west of Columbus. The drought in ms the Reserve, has been one of unexampled severity. In @ places the potatoes planted in the spring have never n wet. costs, John Gilroy hada row with Oliver Duffey, with whom he had boarded in Walworth, near Flushing avenue, on Sunday wight, and several hundred people collected.— Yesterday morning he was arrested on complaint of Mr. Duffey, by offiver McCormick, who secured him after a long chase. Usticensep Dram Sxors.—From enquiries which we have made among persons well acquainted with the sta- tistics in such matters, we learn that there are in the city of Brooklyn at least one hundred and fifty places in which spirituous liquors are sold without being licensed by the Board of Excise. Inasmuch as two thirds of the assault and battery complaints made at the police office originate in difticulties arising from intemperance, and as the county is subjected toa heavy expense attendant on the trial of such cases, it behooves tne public autho- rities to prosecute ;with inflexibie determination, and with the utmost rigor, every one of this class of offen- ders. Tue Bi Rixcens.—These popular performers: (known as the Campanologians,) give an entertainment at the Brooklyn Lyceum this evening, which, it is hoped will be well attended. Nursaxces.—The Grand Jury of King’s county, at the late session of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, very properly presented as fit subjects for indictment the va- rious hog pens, cow yards, and other like nuisances which have so long been permitted to remain in the midst of a dense population, and in many parts of the city inhabited by the most respectable and wealthy fami- lies. This potent body remark in their presentment, that “the health, comfort, and character of the city alike demand of its administrative officers a vigilant attention to the evils of the character complained ofthe evidence in relation to some of them seeming to indicate a censu- rable inattention to the sufferings of a part of the con- stituency of the Common Council.” Police Intelligence. Srrtempen 15.—John B. Gough.—It appears from the information in this matter that has come to the know]- ed of the Chief of the Police, through the means of two of his most efficient officers, Leonard and Brown, that Mr. Gough first visited Walker street on the Friday baba! that he disappeared, when he fell in with @ young female who was in the act of tying her shoe on the stoop of her house, whereupon he accosted her, and proffered his services, and asked perm: her house. Before she had well answered him, he passed into the apartment occupied by her, and on entering the place he recognized the female as ‘an old acquaintance, and immediately wished to send for some brandy. He appeared, at this time, to be perfectly rational and sober. ‘The females were reluctant to comply with his request to get sees) knowing the public ion he occupied ; whereupon he said that if they would not get the brandy, he would. She then consented, and he gave her a five dollar bill to pay for the drink, which she finally got, and afterwarcs more, and more through the following day, Saturday. On Saturday morning he gave her more money to buy him anew shirt, which she did. On Satur- day evening he went out for three hours, and returned again with « different suit of clothes and freshly dressed. From that time he remained in the house till he was taken home in the carriage. During the week that he passed here, it appears a person, who goes by the soubri- quet of the “ Doctor,” and is in the habit of Visiting the house,as a matter of course, became acquainted with the fact of his being there. When the advertisements of his friends were issued, man communicated his intelli- 1 gence to the individuals who claim to have discovered him. They informed the advertising parties that they knew where he was, and he was finally taken home, as the public already are aware. On Sunday evening last, a shirt of Mr. G.’s still remained at the house, and may be there yet for all we know. Bigamy.—A person named George Welsh, a native of Ireland, aged about thirty-five years, who has tor some time past been living on Bloomingdale Read, near 10st street, was yesterday fully committed to prison by Justice Room, of the Second District Police Court, on a charge of bigamy. It appears from the cvidence ad- duced in the case, that the accused, on the 2th of April, 1833, was married to Bridget Minnary, of the Parish of > Court Intelligence. Grnenat.

Haskett to appear and answer for a contempt of court in committing an as- sau t on Thomas Postley within the jurisdiction of the court, striking him in the passage-way leading from the court-room to the vestibule of the building. Trial for Libel.—Michael Walsh, indicted for having ublished a libellous article on George Wiikes on the ‘th of June last, in the newspaper entitled the “ Subter- ranean,” of which the defendant is the reputed editor, was then placed upon trial. The libellous article con- tained remarks of a very derogatory character as to hix character and standing in society. The prosecution failing to prove that Michael Walsh was the editor and roprietor of the paper calledjthe Subterranean, the jury, Thier the direction of the Court, rendered a verdict of “not guilty.” ¢ Case.—In the case of James Honey- illiam Parkinson, James and d, indicted for robbing the barge Clinton, of Poughkeepsie, of about $34,000, Messrs. Gra- ham, Brady and Warner, their counsel, moved the Court to admit them to bail, and that the sum be fixed ; also, that the moneytaken from them at the time of their arrest should be restored. The Court, in reply, remarked that they would take the papers and peruse them, and dis- pose of the case to-morrow.

P. invine, of St, Mark’s Place, testified that his hele was broken open on the night of the lst of No- vember and robbed of about $200 worth of proper- ty, amongst which was a coat belonging to him, and which he subsequently recovered at the Police Office. Roser 8. Martin, a Police Officer, deposed that he searched McQuade’s premises, on the 2st of Jenuary, when he found much property, including the coat claim- ed by Mr, Irving. The prosecution failing to show that McQuade knew ae the property had been stolen, the jury acquitted im. Second Trial for Libel.—Michael Walsh was again tri- ed for a libel on, JohnHorspool, published in th jterra- nean inthe month of June last. But little progress, how- ever, had been made in the trial, when the Court ad- journed until to-morrow morning. Marine Court. Before Judge Smith. pr. 15.—Jacob Crain vs, Archibald G. Smith.--Action to recover an amount of, certain insurance paid by plaintitf for the defendant. It appeared that in December 1844, plaintiff, at request of defendant, shipped two parts of a press on board the ship Sharon, fer New Orleans, one part for a Mr. Porter, andthe other for defendant. Plaintiff also effected an insurance upon each consignment, paying $33 62 for each, and now brings suit to recover the amount paid for the insurance of the shipment, together with the sum of $l4iwhich he charges for commission. Defence put in wag, that defendant never authorized the insurance of the press which he received, but that of another which he alleged he. never got, ond that Porter had paid for the one in suit. It was shown in evidence that a verbal o: der was given by defendant for the press in question. Judgment for plaintiff $47 62.
