a New York, Wednesday, June 9, 1847. — i ‘The Judicial Election. ‘The judicial election has terminated, and the correct result in the city and State, so far as known, will be found in thisday’s paper. With- out wishing to disparage the qualifications of the defeated candidates, we are satisfied—as we know the pablic are—that most of those elected are of the eligible and capable men in the State. Many of the gentlemen elected have been on the bench for a number of years past, and sustain an unblemished reputation. Their character is above even suspicion, as it should be, for we do not know of a greater calamity that could occur, than the appointment or election of judges in whose integrity and capability the public have not the most unbounded reliance. The benetits which a capable and upright judge confers upon the community cannot be too highly estimated. We trust and hope that the newly elected will endeavor to follow the example of the pure men who have preceded them, and like them, engrave their names on the hearts of the public. Mr. McKeon, the democratic candidate for District Attorney, it will be perceived, is elected by a handsome majority over his two opponents, Messrs. White and Blunt. ‘The impartial manner with which Mr. MeKeon discharged the duties of his office since he has held it, con- tributed as much as anything else to his election. The public had eonfidence in him, as}well as they had in the judicial candidates. Mr. White, the nominee of the whig convention, received con- siderably more votes than did Mr. Blunt, the independent candidate, notwithstanding the pre- ference which the meeting in the Apollo Rooms evinced for the latter gentleman. The most striking feature of the election just closed, is the small number of votes cast either way. It will be seen that it bears no compari- son to the number usually deposited at our char- ter or gubernatorial elections. This is to be re- gretted, because our judicial elections will be more important to the welfare of the State and the county than any others. Small as is the number of votes that were cast, there is every reason to believe that it would be much smaller, but for the quarrel between the Blunt and White factions of the whig party.— These factions turned out in their strength, and electioneered and voted for their res- pective favorites. Mr. White has the conso- lation of knowing that Mr. Blunt is not elected— Mr. Blunt has the consolation that Mr. White is not elected—and Mr. McKeon has the consola- tion that both of them were defeated and himself elected. There is consolation, therefore, on all sides, and all parties are, we doubt not, satisfied with the result. We rejoice that the question of a free academy has been decided in the affirmative, by a very large majority. Scarerry or American Seamen.—Much has been said respecting the great scarcity of Ameri- can seamen, and the late Thomas Goin, one of the firm of Goin, Pool, & Pentz, spent several years, and expended Jarge sums of money, in getting Congress to pass a law to take naval apprentices. This he succeeded in doing, but the government have since abandoned the system, because there sometimes appeared among the apprentices a most gallant and noble fellow, fit for promotion, and whose promotion would interfere with higher classes of boys. Owing to this the school slumbered and died. Since New York has been a commercial city, the merchants and shipmasters ,have never suffered more than they have for the last year, and are now suffering, for the want of American seamen. There is scarcely a vessel that sails from this port that has over one quarter of her crew Americans, and the other three-quarters are English, Irish, Scotch and Dutch, many of whom have run away from their own vessels, and en- tered our service ; and we do not get the best of these men. We get a few of all nations, made up of various sizes and characters. Our merchants and captains do not suffer in this respect only. We now ask, what is to be done? Where are the American sailors? The naval apprentice system is abandoned; last winter our ships suf- fered in consequence of having been compelled frequently to take two ordinary seamen for one able seaman, and when they reached outside of Sandy Hook, the captains have found, in many instances, that they had only four or five men who could properly steer the ship. Our own port is not alone in this difficulty. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, and in faet every commercial port in the Union, have suffered the same. Our ships of war have been compelled to lay at our several Navy Yards tor days and weeks, without being able to obtain their complement of men; they have, indeed, been paying a high bounty to obtain sailors. We learn from a conversation with one of our most respectable merchants, that Mr. John W. Goin, who is now interested in the place of his brother Thomas, in the firm of Goin, Pool & Pentz, proposes to bring before Congress the fol- lowing articles: that all vessels of two hundred tons and upwards shall take one apprentice for every two hundred tons; that no apprentice shall be bound for less than three, and not more then five years, so that parents can bind their sons for five years, and adults can bind them- selves for three or five years, according as they may agree with the agents or owners of said ship or vessel ; that these apprentices shall be bound tothe ship owners, or agents of said owners, and in case said ship or vessel should be sold, the apprentice or apprentices, to be placed or transferred from the ship first bound to, to any other vessel under his or their control, and serve out the then unserved time; that should any owner or agent be so unfortunate as to be compelled by their failure in business, to sell the ship or vessel, the purchaser, in order to prevent loss to the boys, shall, with their consent, buy their unexpired term of service, which shall be considered as part of the property of the ship or vessel ; thatit shall be the duty of the agent or owners of said ship or vessel, to give these prentices a good common English education, and nautical instructions, so that in case the ship or vessel should lose her officers, the eldest apprentice may take charge of said ship or vessel, and navigate her to her destined port, as would have been the case of the ship Columbia, which ship last winter lost her captain, mate, and sec- ond mate ; that it shall, furthermore, be the duty of said owners or agents to see that these appren- tices have a thorough knowledge of everything a marlin-spike sailor should know, also sail- making, and ship-carpentering, which can be easily done, and be a great benefit to the ship,or vessel, in case of the Joss of a spar, or any other thing of the kind; that any person harboring, or secreting, or causing tobe harbored, or secreted, any apprentice, shall be fined two hundsed dol- lars for every such offence, and in case said per- sons secreting or causing to be secreted, shall prove not to be worth, or could not pay two hun- dred dollars, he or they shall be imprisoned ‘or six months in the penitentiary of said State. These articles can, perhaps, be improved and modified. We throw them together as we heard them. Whether they will answer the purpose or not, it is necessary that something should be done to increase the number of American sailors; we have not enough. cae Arriva. or Emrorants.—The number of par- sengers who have entered at the {Custom House at this port, during the first week in June, from foreign ports, reached 5,288. Paki Tredinim-The Italian cOmpany, from Hevana, begins this evcting its twelve cp@ra nights. The trage- dia Linca chosen for their debut, is “Phe Two Foseari,’’ in three acts; music by Verdi, the celebrated author of “ The Lombardi.” If we believe the critics of the news. papers of London and Paris, that partition of the great composer, is far of being inferior to his other composi- tions. It contains Lory f beautiful which, to be sure, will be appreciated by the crowded house which is tofavor the Spanish-Italians this Che We think our readers will like to read the plot of the the“ Two Foscari,”’ which is as follows :—On the 16th of April, 1423, Francisco Foscari, was elevated on the ducai ‘ition with Pedro Loredano, ‘thi f Venice, in com This Senator was always his antagonist in the couneil ; “oscari was so much excited by such an . that femal og a rahcots take hoch he should never consider himself Chief M: of Venice. By @ fatal concurrence, Pedro and brother Marcos, died suddenly a few months after, and every one thought that both had been . Jacobo Loreda- no, son of Pedro, believed it, too. andjasa of his cer- tainty, he engravedon the tomb-stone of his relations— “The Foscari are indebted to me of two lives’—He wrote also those words on his commercial book, with the hope of rever The Dodge had four sons ; three had died, and the fourth having been accused, with Lucrecia Contarini, of receiving presents from the a “a hg had been banished, according to the laws of ice, first at Naples, then at Trevise. It happened, in the mean- time, that Ermolao Donato, President of the Council of the Ten, who had condemned Jacobo, was murdered in the night of the 16th of November, 1490, when be was returning to his palace. Oliviero, servant of Jacobo, had arrived the day before at Venice, and the following morning, had related all the particulars of the murder in the gondolas of his master. Again the loscari were accused. ‘The master and his servant were brought to Venice, and «ftera long and useless torture, were for- ever banished to Candia. Five years after, Jacobo having several times entreated his pardon’ without success, and being not able to live far from his beloved country, wrote to Francisco Sporcia, duke of Milan, re- questing him to intercede for his return. The letter was delivered to the Ten; Jacobo, conducted once more to Venice, was again tortured; he confessed that the deep desire of seeing again his country had induced him to write—he was condemned to return to Candia, where he was to be kept in a jail, tbreatened by death, if he ever wrote a letter similar to that which had been inter- cepted. The old unfortunate Doge who had assisted with a stoical constancy in the torture of his son, was ermitted to see him before his departure, and advised im to obey the decree of the republic. ‘It happened afterwards that a noble Venetian, called Nicolas Errizzo, at his last hour, confessed to murdered Donato, and wished his confession be rendered public, in order to show the innocence of Jacobo Foscari. Several power- fal senators went to ask his pardon, when it was feund that the young man had died in his jail at Candia, The unfortunate father, prostrated by such a misfortune, was living voty retined and frequented very seldom the council. Jacobo Loredano, who, in the year 1457,had been elected decemvir, believed that the moment of ro- yenge had arrived for him, and he intrigued so much in secret, that the doge was obliged to abdicate. Al- ready, during his government, Foscari had wished to ab- dicate, but he was obliged to renounce such a will. and to swear that he would keep his place till he should die. In spite of his oath, Foscari was compelled to leave t!: ducal palace; he lived then as a simple citizen, having refused all the large sums of money which he was offered by the Venetian republic. On the Slst October, 1457, the emotion of Foscari was so great when he heard bells ringing to announce the election of his successor, Pas- cual Malipiero, that he died on the following morning. His funeral waa such as it would have been for the doge himself; Malipiero, dressed as & senator, was fol- lowing the hearse. It is said that Jacobo Loredano, wrote on his book upon the opposite page which we have before mentioned, “ the Foscari have paid me.” Such is the plot of Verdi's opera. We understand that the scenery, the Mise en Siéne, the costumes, are splendid, and worthy of the talented company, to which we foretell an immense succers. in spite of the threaten- ing heat of the season. The beloved and lovely ‘Tedes: co does not appear in the Two Foscari,” but the Signo- a, Terese Ralnieri, @ soprano of a high talent. is to per- form the part of Lucretia Contatini. Signori Perelli, the sweet tenore, and Luigi Vota, the excellent bary- tone, fill the other principal parts. ‘We shall have to-morrow a full account of the musical part of the opera. Castix Ganpex.—Munek’s celebrated German brass band perform every evening at this beautiful retreat, where rich and varied scenery, the most renovating air, and the sweetest music, both German and native, greatly contribute to the pleasure and health of all who patro- nize one of the neatest amphitheatres in the Union. The proprietors are affable and serve out refreshments of the first quality. Vavxnatt Garvex.—Campbell’s Ethiopian Opera Se- renaders are still at Vauxhall Garden, where they do their best to amuse the patrons of that delightful resort with their capital performances. Their songs andrepre- sentations are comprised in two classes, one of which delineates the character of the Northern dandy darkies, and the other the real Simon pure plantation negroes. ‘They give no less than twenty-three different pieces this evening. The Garden may now be entered through the gate in Lafayette Place, so that promenaders in Broad- way have to go only one short block (through Astor Flace) out of their way to see the dark melodists and enjoy the other comforts of the Garden. Bowery Turatre.—The bill at the Bowery for to- night, is a good one. Mr. Sefton will perform his own inimitable character of Jemmy Twitcher, and Mr. De Bar may be seen in “Aladdin.” Surely, those who are fond of dramatic spectacle, may enjoy a treat this eve- ning, when the legendary romantic drama of the “Night Hag, or St. Swithin’s Chair,” will be performed; after which the “Golden Farmer” will be done, with Sefton’s Jemmy Twitcher; the whole to conclude with “ Alad- din, or the Wonderful Lamp,” Mr. De Bar playing the part of the dumb slave. The managers of the Bowery never tire with presenting good things for the entertain- ment of their numerous patrons. We find we were premature in stating that Mr. Bunn had accepted £2,000 from the lessee of her Majesty's theatre, as an indemnification for Madile. Jenny Lind’s non-fulfilment of her alleged engagement to sing at Drury lane in 1843; the matter is still unarranged, and Mr. Bunn has commenced legal proceedings against the fair vocalist. Mr. Henry Russell was in Liverpool at the latest dates. The Distin Family are engaged to perform on the sax- horns at six concerts, which are to take place at Dublin, in anew splendid concert room. Mr. Calcraft, the lessee and manager of the Dublin theatre for seventeen years, has just become insolvent. Miss Helen Faucitt is said to be a creditor to a large amount. ‘The enthusiasm for Mademoiselle Jenny Lind does not in the least abate. The house is crowded whenever she appears, and she is called for three times each evening. It has been finally settled, we believe, that Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mathews are to succeed the Keeleys, as manages ot the Lyceum theatre. ‘There is no doubt but English‘operas will be perform- ed at Covent Garden in the ensuing season; and that Madame Viardot Garcia (who is now at Berlin) will be the prima donna; she is @ perfect mistress of the Eng- lish language, as well as of several others. Mr. Macready and Mrs, Warner are engaged to per- form at the Princess's theatre, and will make their ap. pearance at the conclusion of Mrs, Butler’s engagement Mra. Butler was playing in the Princess Theatre, Liverpool, when the steamer left. Four Hungarian brothers have arrived in the metropolis, and are per- forming at the Haymarket Theatre. The Sun says :— “Every one has been amazed—every one has been en- raptured, and we can now mention ourselves as among the number. It is utterly impossible to convey any notion whatever of the effect of these singular artistes by a mere description. Their names are Weis, Zover, nd Grunzwag. Twoofthese extraordinary are capable of imitating the horn, the hautboy, the trumpet, the cornet-a-piston, the violin, and the violoncell:, with their lips alone. It is something per- fectly marvellous to observe the glibneas, the distinct- ness of intonation, the volume, and the delicacy with which these Hungarian minstrels exeeute quartets and trios ; the rapidity of the chromatic passages, the ful- ness of tone, and the pathetic sentiment thrown into their strange concerted pieces. Now itis the mellow warbling of the hautboy, now it is the rich resonance of the trumpet, now itis the dazzling notes of the violi: and now it is the melodious tone of the cornet-a-piston. ‘The project of building a new theatre in Leicester Square, London, has been abandoned. The Portamouth Theatre has been sold to government to make way for a contemplated extension of the infant- ty barracks. M'lle. Carlotta Grisi has just been cast in 10,000 francs damages and costs, at the suit ot M. Leon Pillet, the manager of the French Grand Opera, for a breach of her engagement, in running aver to perform in London, and taking her conge at a period of the Parisian season not stipulated for in the contract. Sreamsutr Wasuincton AGain Sroxen.—The Bremen ship Emma, which arrived last night, passed the Washington at 30 minutes past 10 o'clock, A. M. on the 3d inst., in lat. 40 56, lon. 67 2, W. The packet ship Burgundy reports hav- ingseenher on the same day, at 11 o’clock A. M. in lat 40 48, lon. 66, standing to the East- ward. City Intelligence. Tur Wrarnen.—The thermometer sunk to about 64 degrees last esing and we had some drops of rain about 534 o'clock. The evening was cool and agreeable. Fines. —A fire occurred yesterday morning in the gro- cery store corner of Rivington and Attorney streets, about 2o’clock. The fire was promptly extinguished. Damage trifling. Another fire was discovered about 1 o'clock yesterday morning, at 103 Mott street, which was Promptly put out, Damage trifling. It originated in smail shanty in the rear. Svrcrpr.—John A. Miller, No. 124 Columbia atreet, committed suicide yesterday morning about daylight, by hanging himself inthe stable attached to his resl- dence, The coroner's jury rendered a verdict in ac- —— with the facts. No reason is assigned for the Tash act, Tue Exrcrants—The principal steamboat lines north and east have determined not to carry immigrant pas- neng to Albany and Boston. The caution observed by the authorities of those cities in permitting the land- ing of the passengers, is given as reason for their | making this arrangement.

Wetmore, H. E. Davies, J. G. Mit- chell, Philip Melspaugh, Esqs., and other distinguished citizens, as well as the two boards of the Common Council. The extra train of cars which had been provided for the occasion, started from the Sify Hel peeben eens: past two o'clock, and arrived soon three at the In- stitute, which is situated at the corner of Fifteenth street and the Fourth avenue, very short distance of the Harlem Railroad. Thg build- ing is spacious and substantial, yet neat and handsome. From its elevated position and the various conveniences which it abounds with, it is admirably adapted for the gin ae for which it is desigued. The course of instruction pursued at this establish- ment, is not merely teaching the deaf and dumb to make themselves intelligible to around them; that, to be stire, is done, and most successfully done, as the exer- stage of yesterday proved; but the pupils receive likewise a physical and religious education. ‘The mental educa tion fits them for mingling with the w and physical education—the teaching of various kinds of ‘handicraft, cabinet making, tailoring, book-bind- ing, |ke., &e., all of which are taught them in facto- ries connected with the ‘institution and forming parts of it—enables them after they leave the institution to earn an honest and respectable living their own labor, and add their proportion to the wealth and re- sources of the country. After they have completed their education tl leave for their homes, and settle in vari- ous parts of the country, where they marry and have families, which they support in a creditable manner b: their labor, and become good, virtuous, and moral citi- zens. In fact, under the system of instruction pursued in this institution, which all right thinking men will re- gard as the proudest movement of our civiliz&tion and refinement,and an honor to our city and State, the eala- mity of being born deaf and dumb is deprived of its ter- d our unfortunate brethren are restored to so- pert nd made useful, moral, and therefore valuable ei ‘The exercises yesterday were highly gratifying and in- teresting, and were held fn the chapel of tha institution. Previous to their commencement, Mr. Peet, the Presi- dent, stated that it was his intention to explain to the visiters the sad condition of the uneducated deaf and dumb, in order that they might be able to present to them the resuitsof the system of instruction pursued at the establishment; but # severe cold which he had then contracted, rendered him unable to do so. ‘The number of pupils, he said, at present in the insti- tution, is two hundred and eight males and females, of ages varying from six and reven to seventeen and six- teen. ‘They are divided into ten classes, each under the care of a separate teacher; and he would introduce five of these classes tothe visiters and examine them—two of the element classes and three of the middle and most advanced classes. When first taken into the insti- tion, he remarked, the pupils are taught to comprehend the meaning of every object around them. They are then taught the manual sepee! and proceed step by step to the completion of their education. A class of boys and girls, which had been under in- struction about one year and eight months, were then exercised. They were directed by si to represent “a cat,” “a dog”? “a bird,” “a cow,” “a tree,” ke., which they did a satisfactorily. They likewise wrote their names and residences, very legibly, on the black board, and answered various questions by writing, which were asked them by the manual alphabet. Th: were directed to write a sentence of their own composl- tion, of which the word hat should be the subject.— * That hat is black,” “ a man wears a hat,” &c was the result. We were highly pleased at this interesting ex- ercise, and we remarked'to a friend close by, that wo thought these juveniles were more precocious and in- telligent than children of their age generally are. Amore advanced class than the et = one was then examined, and showed a proficiency in reading that we would not expect from the short time they have been under instruction. The third class was examined after the other, and wrote sentences of their own com- position, introducing into them particulur words of dif- ferent parts of speech. They were evidently well ac- quainted with composition, and could with great facility explain their ideas on the slate clearly and correctly. ‘The fourth class,more advanced than any of the others, was then calied. Like all the others it was composed of males and females, ‘This class had been under tion for three years and eight months. They composed several short artieles on various subjects, in an excellent hand. The style of the articles, and the matter of which they were composed, evinced high mental culture and talent. The sixth and most advanced class were exercised in composition, in geography, physiology, history, &c., &c. ‘This class bas been under instruction six years anda half, and their education is nearly completed. They proved themselves to be familiar with the subjects on which they were examined. .~When the exercises were concluded, Mr. Peet, the president, invited the visiters, ladies and gentlemen, to partake of refreshments in'the ladies’ sitting room, whither they repaired and found a bountiful re- past ready for them. After refreshing them- selves, they were conducted through the grounds and buildings of the institution, and shown the various mechanical shops where the pupils are taught their trades. The systematic manner in which every thin; taining to this institute is conducted, was obra by every one who had the pleasure of being preser Every thing appeared to be governed by order and regu- larity, and the most scrupulous regard for neatness and cleanliness in,the puplls,as well as in the institution, was observable throughout. ‘At six o'clock, the party got on board the cars, and returned to the city, much pleased with their visit, delighted to know that the city contained within its limits so valuable an institution as the one they had just visited. We cannot conclude without expressing our admira- tion of the devotion of the President, H. P. Peet, Esq., the teachers, and in fact. all connected with this estab- lishment, to the responsible duties that they perform.— The pupils, from the youngest to the oldest, are well and genteelly clothed, and are cheerful and happy. They uppear to have unbounded love for Mr. Peet, and look up to him asafather. Their manner and their actions show that they are grateful for the pains that are taken for their education and advancement. Long may this noble institution prosper. Sporting Intelligence. Tue Sronts at tHe Centreviin Course Yester- pay.—The trotting match for $500, between the b. m. Sarah Winch, and the g. g. Trouble, catch weight, to go as they please, did not come off—the owner of the latter norse realizing the soubriquette of his nag in the fullest degree, having found both in the match, and the horsea little more trouble than he had bargained for. Pacina Marcu.—The above affair being settled, judges were appointed for the pacing match, which was adver- tised to take place between Boss Butcher, Village Maid, and Tormentor—mile heats—best three in five—pro- prietor’s purse. ‘The two former came up gaily at the call, the absence of Termentor contributing, no doubt, totheir selfassurance. Village Maid was the favorite, as all village maids should be, and 50 to 30 was freely offer- ed that she would give the Boss Butcher the go-by at each approach. First Heat.—The Butcher took the lead at the start, and held it to the quarter pole, in 44 seconds, four lengths in advance of the Maid, the latter having broken up shortly after making the turn. At the balf mile post, the horse was about the si distance in advance of the mare, she having again broken between the two above pointa—time 1:26. The horse continued to lead, pacin, very finely around the turn, and up the straight strete! home—the mare doing her utmost to overtake him; but ocensionaily meeting with accidents sufficient to impair her chances of oo and the Butcher led home in ea art for the heat was even, and they went sid \d side tothe turn, where the mare broke up, and fell off some twenty yards. Before reaching the qnarter, the horse also made a break, but it was asingu- larly fortunate one, for he lost not a foot ot ground, and passed the quarter pole at least a hundred yards ahead of the mire, ile kept this advantage to the half mile pole, whicu ue passed in 1:23, and continued to lead the mare about the same distance, thence to the store, which he reached in 2:53}. Third Heat.—Good start—side and side to the quar- ter, at which point the Maid broke and appeared to lose all energy; the remainder of the heat the Butcher had all to himself, and led home a winner, in 2:46, Trortina Matcu.—The pacing match having been settled to the satisfaction of all parties, save the losers, a trotting match, not announced in the bills of perform- ance, was arranged between two unnamed nags, which created considerable excitement in the financial circles on the ground. One of the animals, a large bay horse, was driven by Hiram Woodruff; the other, a brown pony, in charge of Col. Bartine. ‘The pony was the fa- vorite previous to the start, at 10 to 6, but the bay horse proving himself so much superior to what he was sup- posed to beg by his winning the first heat, he be- came the favorit higher figure. He won both heats very easily in 3:11-—3:0634. Surro.k ann Hector Acarn.—These splendid trotting nage will again try their mettle at the Union Course to-day. The lovers of the betta Le of the turf should not neglect to witness this third contest between these great trotting rivals of the North. The curs leave at half-past three o'clock this afternoon. To come off, rain or shine. Oxakcann C6unse.—The race, two mile het the Oakland course yesteruay, was won by Di ch. g. Vagabond, by imp.

Axpany, June 8, 1847—1 A. M. William Farmelee’s (whig) official majority for county Judge in this city, is 1380; he will be elected by from six to eight hundred majority. By reason of the welatary ar ta extent towhich the “ splitting” or “ scratching” of tickets has been carried, the business of canvassing has been unusually laborious and protracted ; full returns have not been received,and He ard to make a safe conjecture of the result in the city. ° Samuel H. Hammond (whig) has « majority of 624 in this city for district attorney. In the city the whig nominees for Judges of the Court of Appeals, have a majority of from five to nix hundred over the democratic nominees; the vote for District Judges shows # somewhat similar result though it is re- marked that Harris, the anti-rent-whig nominee, runs largely behind his ticket in this city. {Telegraphic Cor. of Albany .

Loeked up for examination by Justice Osborne. Reviving an Old Trick.—A genteel loooking young man of middling stature,well dressed, dark hair and eyes. calling himself Mr. Brown, entered on Monday afternoon the dry goods store kept by Mr. Hubert Hall, corner of Carmine and Bleecker streets, aud purchased a cra shawl, together with some other articles of ns goods, making a bill of $10—this done he desired the shop boy to bring the articles along with him, where he re- sided, No 12 Vandam street—upon entering the house he very politely escorted the inte the parlor, at the same time taking the bundle of dry goods, remarking that he would take them up stairs to show bis wife, and would return in s few minutes and pay him the money.

Mr. Hercuxiss and mus surrosep Assaserxs.—Mr. Hotchkiss bas #0 far improved as to be able to leave his bed,and he yesterday walked several times across his room. He has not yet recovered his speech, although he is evidently conscious. The lysis of his right side is gradually@going away, and it is thought by his physi- cians, that with returning sensation, his speech will be restored, The wound in his head is gradually healing, and the best hopes are confidently entertained with re- to his ultimate recovery, The two men, Bailey and ‘illiams, who are under arrest on charge of having per- petrated the high handed outrage which had so nearly cost Mr Hotchkiss his life, seem to be a brace of desparate character. On Sunday, Buchanan, alias Jack Williams, was discovered in the act of cutting his wa; out of jail by the aid of a chisel and stone which had been conveyed to him in some unaccountable manner. He was heavily ironed and placed in another cell. Yes- terday morning, at about 10 o’clock, the jailor went into Bailey’s cell and was surprised to find him weltering in his biood. An investigation showed that he had inflicted a horrible gash upon his left arm,from which he had bled until’he was nearly exhausted. A physician was called who dressed the wound, bandaging it carefully and ad- miaistered some restoratives to the prisoner, whom he left in «a more comfortable conditon; but it would seem that he was intent upon making way with himself, for no sooner had the physician and his keepers left him, than he tore the ban: 8 from his arm, and started the blood afresh; he was again discovered, how- ever, before he had bled to death, and the wound once more staunched. A razor was found in his cell, and on enquiry, it was ascertained that a prisoner occupying an adjoing cell, had lent,it to him in the morning to shave himeelf with. A strict watch is now kept upon him, and he will be obliged, if possible, to stand his trial, pro- vided the grand jury find a bill’ of indictment against him and his confederates. eset inquest of pou County were engaged in examining witnesses in this case all day yesterday. The probability is that they will not be tried at this term of the Court, as it will be very desirable, before they are put on their defence, to heer from Mr. H. wbat be can say in reference to the diabolical act. It will be recollected that one of the ac- cused Is cl with having been an actor in an assault upon, and attempted highway robbery. committed a few days after the assault upon Mr. Hotchkiss, of a Mr. Ben- nett, at Williamsburgh.

Frede- rick La Coy, convicted of having stabbed one of his shipmates, on board the American schooner Macon, was sentenced to one year’s imprisonment, to be kept at hard labor, and to pay a fine of one dollar. Charge of Cruel and Unusual Punishment.—Edward W. Halsey, of the brig Franklin, indicted for cruel and unusual punishment, was put on his trial. It appeared from the testimony, that the Franklin was a whaling vessel; that in September, 1845, the vessel touchea at one of the Sandwich Islands. Fordham, the first mate, went on shore, by leave of the master; on his return the captain took exception to his appearance, and soon af- ter gave an order to the second mate to perform some act of duty on board. The prosecutor felt that this wasa slight on himself, and he went down to the cabin to remonstrate with Capt. Halsey; abusive language passed between them there, and the prorecutor came on deck and was followed by Captain x who collared him by the throat, shoved him against the side of the vessel, nearly choked him, and injured his windpipe so much that he is suffering irom the injury still, and the day following discharged him from the vessel and sent him on shore. The defence was that the prosecutor was in the habit, whenever he had a chance, of getting intoxicated. The | Captain came on board between nine and ten o’olock on the night in question, the weather threatening, and find- ing that Fordham, the prosecutor, was in a state of gross intoxication, the Captain gave orders to the second | mate to let out more chain, upon which Fordham fol- | lowed him down to the cabin, and used vety gross iat tage, and the Captain had in his own defenoo to lay his ands on him, merely to save himself. Evidence was then called to show the character of Fordham for habits of intoxication, and for being of a quarrelsome disposi- tion. The jury acquitted Captain Halsey.

Harlem went up 1 per cent; Nor- wich and Worcester, \{; Reading, 1; Reading mortgage bonds, %{; Illinois, 34. Indiana, Farmers’ Loan, and Long Irland, closed at yesterday's prices. Morris Canal fell off 24 per cent. The sales were to a moderate ex- tent, and the tendency of prices at the close was up- ward. E At the second board Harlem advanced 2 per cent, Farmers’ Loan }, Vicksburg 34, Long Island %, Canton 134, Norwich and Worcester ‘%,with moderate sales of all the leading fancies. The rapid rise in some of the prin- cipal railroad stocks has not been produced entirely by speculative movements in the street, but partially by the rapid increase in the traffic on these works, We trust holdera of those railroad stocks which have such favor- able prospects as haye been recently represented, will not be induced by the advance in prices to sell out, as there is no probability of their being able to supply themselves again at lower rate: The Delaware and Hudson Canal Company have de” — 4 dividend of ten per cent, payable on the 1dth inst. It is stated that in the Boston market money has been quite easy of access, and good outside paper has been ne- gotiated at from 6 to 7 per cent. New York business pa- Per has also been sold in State street at a fraction over 6 Ss per cent and brokerage. There has been a fair demand | for nearly all of the dividend stocks, at advanced prices» but the non-paying descriptions have been neglected.
