It is decidedly a matter of regret that some project of the nature here proposed had not been carried out long be- fore this time.

Mr, Axonews, the n, being called upon, that although he was not desirous of speaking, yet he expected that he would be called upon;- and in order to save time, had drawn up a remarks which he would Tead to the meeting. He was aware Th ‘ould be confined to no tenets, confined to no thoories, that cannot be practically proved.

Since the period sentence was first pronounced upon you, you have had sufficient time for reflection; it ia,there- fore, unnecessary for me to say any thing to you in regard to preparing yourself to meet your approaching end,— It iu true, howaver, that you may have had some hope during that time, but now that hope is gone, and you ara warned to make the best use of the time to be al- lowed you between this and your execution, which will be on Friday, the 26th of June next, at the jail of Steu- ben county, between the hours of 10 o'clock in the fore- noon and 2 o'clock in the afternoon of that day. The warrant for execution was then handed to the sheriff of Steuben eounty, and the prisoner remoyed.. He is middle sized man, about 45 years of age, with an intel gent countenance. He listened to the remarks of the Chief Justice with the greatest composure, and seemed perfectly resigned to his In the matter of opening and widening William street—Mr. Brapy was heard this morning on the part of the commissioners, in reply to Messrs. McVane and Mott. He contended that as the objectors had not taken yy steps while the proceedings were before the eommis- signers, they were not now in a condition to raise any objections before this court. The objections, said Mr Brady, taken by Messrs, Hart were, that while they had been awarded $2,800 (nithough thelr counsel, in kis ar- gument yesterday, was not very explicit in admit- ting this very important fact,) for damage would, as the report was drawn, be compelled to pay $2,163. the amount of the assessments imposed upon their lots before the year 1839, when the allowance to any lot exceeded an assessment upon ft for the same improvement. The commissioners were only required by law to report the excess of allowance. But by the ict of 1830, they are required to state in reference to each lot the amount of allowance and charge severall The consequence, supposed by the Messrs. Hart to result from this change was, that whereas under the old law the surplus of allowance, over charge, being alone stated, no assessment would remain which the tenant could be required to pay. ‘The compliance under the law of 1839, separating the charge from the allowance, would require the tenant to pay the charge which before would have been deducted out of the landlord's allowance, und thi Harts therefore insisted that the commisssoners should, in their report, have inserted some clause to prevent {uch a result. Mr. Brady ingisted that no objection to the report, could be made which was not urged before the commissioners ; and secondly, that the objection now.made was not made ’before tham. only com- Plaint before them was, that the allowance made to the arts was too small; thirdly, that the commissioners had exactly conformed to the law of 1839, in stating the allowance and charge separately, and that any other mode would have been clearly erroneous; fourth, that it was neither the right nor the duty of the commissioners to declare in their report how the charges or allowances would affect the relations between landlord and tenant; end fifthly,, that Messrs. Hart could not legally be com. pelled to pay the assessments any more than they would ave been ax the law stood before 1839, as tho act of the Iatter year only affected the form of asseasment. After Mr. Brapy had concluded, Mz. Mott, one of the opposing counsel, insisted that the report could not be confirmed, because the new constitution provided that when private property was taken for public uses, the damages to the owner should be ascertained by a jur: or by Uhree commlasioners appointed by a court of 1 cord, as the legislature should prescribe, but as the le- gislature had not prescribed which mode sheuld be adopted, fore, none existed, and the report should be sent back. ‘The court stated that the commissioners in this matter were appointed before the new constitu- tion was framed or came into operation, and that instru- mont expressly provides that all proceedings legally in progress when it went into effect should be continued. At the conclusion of the argument the Chief Justice marked that the existing opinion of the court was that the claim of Messrs, Hart only affected their liability as lessees, under the covenant to pay assessments, and could not be determined in this matter. He announo- od, however, that a more formal decision would be made to-morrow (this morning.) Mr. Fanshaw’s objection wont merely to the amouut of the sum awarded to him, but as it was not sustained by any proof, it is probabl that it will be disregarded. The people vs. Atmenor Kingsley.—In this case's bill of indictment was found by the grand jury of Courtlandt Co. against the defendant, for keeping a disorderly house: to wit, a bi'liard room in the village of Homer, in that county. ' The indictment was afterwards tried at the court of general sessions, and a verdict obtained for the people. Mr, Hill, counsel for defendant, took excep- tions to the verdict. ‘First, that the keeping of # billiard room whore no bets were made, the losing parties merely paying for the rubbers, did not come within the statute of gaming; and, secondly, that the judge who tried the cause, charged the jury that they were judges both of the law and fact; whereas, he ought to have charged thom that they were judges of the faet only. ‘The court set aside the verdict. stating that both exceptions were well taken, and Mr. Justice Beardsley remarked, that the Judge in the court below erred in telling the jury they were judges of the law and the fact. In criminal eases, questions of fact only can be decided by a jury; but questions of law are reserved for the decision of the court.

Some of the fancies go up and some go down from day to day. Everything connected with stock operations appears to be in # very unsettled state, and speculators are shaking in the wind, waiting for some kind of a breeze to give them a start. ‘At the first board to-day Harlem went up % per cent; Farmer's Loan, 4; Reading, %; Reading Bonds, %4; ‘Treasury Notes, ; Long Island fell off 14 per cent; Canton, 34; Illinois Bank, '; Reading Mortage Bonds, 3<; Ohio 6's, Morris and Norwich and Worcester closed at prices current yesterday.

Some days since in our remarks relative to the bill: filed for an injunction onthe Reading Railroad Com- pany, we suggested the policy of demanding an imme- diate investigation; but we have since learned that it is entirely out of the power of the company to bring the affairs to a close a moment sooner than the court in which tho bill is filed, chooses to give a hearing, and in the regular course of business, it cannot come up before October. Had the parties bringing this bill wished an immediate investigation of the affairs of that company, a hearing could have been obtained, and the matter set- tled at once by filing the bill in the proper court; but it appears that an immediate examination would not have met the views of thore interested, their object evidently having been to protract the affair as much as possible, for the purpose of keeping it before the public. If the applicants for an injunction and a receiver really believe that the assets of the company are being squandered; if they believe that tho operations which they describe have actually been made; if they believe that the usurious transactions detailed have actually been made, why did they not take measures to have the injunction granted and the receiver appointed at once, instead of giving the company five months longer to dissipate the Property of the bondholders and stockholders? We morely put these questions for the benefit of those in- terested, with the impression that they cannot be satis- factorily answered.

Mr. Black, late American consul at the city of Mexi- co, has reached New Orleans. He brings no definite in- telligence as to the Mexican movements in the eapital, further than that the government would remove upon the approach of our forces. Cassius M. Clay, Borland, and Gaines are still in close confinement in theeity. This appears strange, when so many Mexicans have been released on parole. Col. Lane has published in the Delta vindication of the conduct of the Indiana regiment st Buena Vista, which appears quite satisfactory. Poor Lincoln was delivering orders when he was shot and net killed, when he was endeavering to rally these regiments.

Wasninaton, May 17, 1647. The Proposed Ship Canal across the Continental Isth- mus of Tehuantepec. A fortnight since, we advised you that it was in con- templation to send a detachment of engineers, &o. to explore the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, with the view of ascertaining the practicability of that route for « ship canal. The National Whig of this evening (the Taylor paper recently started in this city,) thus enlarges upon the subject :— “It has been decided, among other things, to send a large force of U. 8. marines, under the command of Gen. Henderson, to accompany the party of engineers ordered to explore the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, force, when all are assembled at the mouth of the Huas- acueleo river, will not number less than 2,000 men. It is this expedition which was shadowed forth in the recent accounts from Commodore Perry. All the marines on shore have been ordered to the Home Squadron in the Gulf forthwith, where the organization will take place. ‘This force is large enough to ensure perfect safety to the exploring purty, for the enemy, were he disposed. cannot offer any serious resistance in the section of country proposed to be explored, owing to the want of men, and there is no apprehension of any great trouble from the population itself, as it is very sparse, and composed chiefly of Indians.’ Father Ritchie opposes a constitutional bar to this enterprise, which we are afraid endangers its prosecu- tion. It is this; That while the federal government has the power to purchase the route, or acquire it by treaty, it has no power to construct the canal. I¢ will require $50,000,000 to finish this canal for lighters such 4s pass the Welland Canal around the Falls of Niagara; and nothing but the government can undertake it.

Wasmixarton, A Noble Act. ‘The President of the United States is held responsible for this war with Mexico, and for all the disasters at- tending it. It is nothing more than just, then, that he should be credited for whatever of good may attend it in its prosecution or follow its termination; and espe- cially in such cases as the following, in which he is the direct instrumentality of the good deed accomplished. Col. Yell, of Arkansas, and the President, were old friends. The last letter which the brave soldier is sup- posed to have written was to Col. Polk, directing the ad- vance of Col. Yell’s pay due to his family. Ho was poor, and his family were dependent upon him, He bad » young lad at Georgetown College, and we learn this, eve: ning that the President hos adopted this boy, and wilt educate him and regard him as his own son; and that he will see to the comfort of the family.

Miles, is te take place this evening, at the Exchango Hotel and, I learn that nearly one hundred and fifty of our promi- nent citizens will be present. Secretary Marcy, Goneral Jesup, General Townson, and Colonel Cooper have promised to be present. ‘Tho Grand Jury yesterday found another bill against ‘Turner, the book keeper of the Mechanics’ Bank, charg- ing him with stealing a check for $800, and obtaining the money from the bank. This young man obtained from the bank the sum of $68,000, in so cunning a way that there is but one or two items of the whole sum on which he can be prosecuted. The item on which this indictment is based, is a check of Messrs. Cor- ner & Co., which had been presented and cashed by the cashier, and handed to Turner as book- keeper to be cancelled, instead of doing which he ut it in his pocket, and sent a young man with itto the bank the next day, and it was then cash- ed asecondtime. On his firs jal, although the lar- ceny of the check and obtaining of the momey was ad- mitted, the jury could not agree. ‘An ordinance is before the councils giving permission to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to run its locomo- tives, or at least to walk them, through the city. It is contended by some, that if properly used and made for the purpose, there would be less danger of accident than from the use of horses, whilst it would save thirty or forty thousand dollars per annum to the company, by enabling them to do without their heavy teams of horses.
