The publication of the Herald commenced yester- day at 18 minutes past 4 o'clock, and finished at 10 minutes past § o'clock. Taylor in Maryland—Dantel Webster in Massachusetts, We publish in our columns to-day, an able po- litieal letter written by the Hon, William Cost Jobn- son, of Maryland, and addressed to the Hon. John C, Botts, of Virginia, defending the position, prin- ciples and views of General Taylor, asa candidate tor the Presidency, from the attacks made by the latter distinguished gentleman on the former, There is nothing particularly new in the sentiments attributed to General Taylor, and promulgated un- der the name of Mr. Johnson; for they seem to be coincident with the views expressed in the famous Allison letter, and which appear to have been known to a number of the friends of that distin- guished military man, much about the same time, in various parts of the country. The letter of Mr. Botts originated, it appears, in a report made in the Herald of a speech delivered by Cost Johnson, when he was travelling in New York. We have not published Mr. Botts’ letter, but we are not sure but he has as gooda claim on the columns of the Herald asthe other. The other paper purports to be the address of the whig members of the Legis- lature of Massachusetts, and is decidedly a sort of nomination of Mr. Webster for the Presidency, as their first choice, with certain “ ambiguous givings out,” here and there expressed, that look rather hostile to Mr. Clay’s chances. It is difficult, how- ever, to tell, from the shadowy emanation of Mas- sachnesetts opinions, thns expressed, whether Mr. Webster and his frienlsin New England are favorable to Mr. Clay, General Taylor, or General Scott, as their second choice. They prudently keep that in the back ground. speak for itself. Of our own promptings we never should have published these documents in our columns, at this partionlar crisis of affiirs, especially as they are somewhat stale and old ; but our position is such, and the circulation of the Herald is so enlarged, that an application has been made by the friends of General Taylor, in Maryland, and also by those of Mr. Webster, in Massachusetts, to have these papers appear in our co!umns, at all hazards and at any reasonable cost. The friends of General Tay- lor request us to publish Mr. Johnson’s letter, and to charge what we please for the service, promising that the bill shall be paid with pleasure. The friends of Mr. Webster, in Massachusetts, although they do not give us a real name, still offer to pay from one to five hundred dollars for the publication of their document, and to send the money on its appearance in our columns. Now, to these gentlemen, and to persons of all parties, we have only to say, that this is not the mode in which we transact newspaper business. We have no doubt there prevails very generally a sentiment, with persons unacquainted with our prin- ciples and our mode of action, that anything can be published in our columns for a liberal and gene- rous compensation. ‘The world of politicians, of parsons, and of players—the good and the bad, the selfish and the liberal, the virtuous and the scoun- drels—begin to find out that they have made mistake in the tactics of the New York Herald, and, possibly, they will find out more in due pro- cess of time. On our own responsibility, and at our own expense, when a public document, a public meeting, or a public speech deserves to be published in the Herald, we are always ready todo it, without reference to the speaker, the writer, or the promulgator. We do this for the benefit of the American people, and we are paid for it by a libe- ral and generous patronage of the same American people. We are perfectly independent of that mode of contribution by which the miserable newspaper tools of the two great factions are supported. We are stronger than any faction, or any party, or any Presidential candidate, and they will all find it out before many months over. We truth, in justice, in fair dealing, in independence, intelligence, and in enterprise—in everything that constitutes a moral and intellectual power in anen- lightened age. With these views, therefore, we request the friends of General Taylor, in M. aresstrong in ryland, who have promised to pay us the full amount of our bill for the publication of Mr. J to contri- bute from one hundred to five hundred dollars, ac cording to their ability, to the Lying-in-Hospital of Washington or Baltimore, and consider that as full payment for the publication of the letter in question. When this « made, in,either of those cities, we also them to transmit a receipt to us for the se in order that we may know it has been don With regard to the document from Boston, containing address of the Legislature of Massachusetts, rrequest for nnson’s letter, ribution shall have been quest nd. which also has been published ata simile pay, we beg the parties in Boston—the friends of Mr Webster—to hand over, likewise, from one hundred to five hundred dollars, according to their ability, | to the Lying-in Hospital of Boston, or, if there no such institution there, to some similar charit ble institution, and hand over to us the receipt for the same. We want none of these payments our- selves. We are independent. The income arisixg from the circulation and success of the Herald enables us to publish every thing connected with parties, on our own responsibility, and at our own expense. We would not exchange our position for the White House itself, which is now occupied by the diminutive man who will linger the months longer. Thus much on the publication of these docu- e afew ments, and our reasons for furnishing them to our readers at this time. Of the sentiments opinions promulgated in them, we have v little to say. The country is now in the crisis of Presidential nominations. The two great factions are intriguing, morning, noon and night The reepective candidates and their friends Were never in such a state of excitement; but amid all this excitement, and all this in- trigue, hear very little said of great prin- ciples, and very little understanding displayed of the new and peculiar condition of the civilized world, The contest for a nomination, by both par- ties, seems to be guided entirely on grounds, with litle or no reference to principles or measures that may arise hereafter, but a great deal, in some channels, with reference to exploded mex sures and antiquated principles, that hav passed and decided upon by recent legislation ‘Two classes of candidates have been thrown up— the military and the civil—the fighting men and the writing men—and both seem to be on a level with regard to the amount of dignity, propriety and de- cency with. which each, accompanied by his riends, puts forth his elaims—each pushing and we personal e been The document will | of this metropolis. We expect remarkable scene in the approaching conventions. If they be not dis- creditable and disgraceful to the country, it will be | | # miracle. Look at the miserable controversiga } in this great State, between the old hunkers and the burnbumere—the abuse, the epithets, the false hoods, which the journals of the two factions ai using towards each other. Almost the same state | of things exists between the two great parties, and between the various candidates and their support | ers. | The principal cause of this demoralization | among the politicians of the day—be they whigs or | | democrats—anses from their ravenous appetites for | | the spoils. During the last two years, the poliey of | | the President has increased the annual expendi- | | tures of the government to nearly fifty or sixty mi | lions of dollars, which vast amount of money cted from the people of the Uni shape of taxes; and the vast confederacy of po- liticians are nothing but the most currupt and sen- sual plunderers and pensioners on the public and the industry of the country. Our foreign affairs, in connection with Europe, present an unsettled look; and instead of any diminution of taxation for the next few years, there is every prospect of it in- sing to sixty, eighty, or perhaps a hundred millions of dollars, which will be taken, in the form of taxes, from the pockets of the industrious masses of the people. Is not this a harrowing picture to look upon? What will the democratic or whig convention do to stay these terribly imereasing expenditures of the country—this waste of the industry of the land ? Our Foreign CorresponpeNce.—Some of our contemporaries are boasting prodigiously of the splendor and magnificence of their foreign corres- pondence. Without much boasting, we think we may place our foreign correspondence a little ahead of that of any other journal. The foreign correspondence of the Courter and Enquirer is generally too much imbued with the clusive and aristocratic notions of the English and European aristocracy to be able to give cor- rect views of the popular movements in those quarters. That of the Tribune is so ultra and vi- sionary as to be utterly worthless for all practical purposes. The only reliable foreign letters which have appeared here in the newspapers, so far, are those which have been published in the columns of the Herald. These, from all parts of Europe, are either the production of sound-hearted Americans, acquainted with their own country and foreign affairs, or they are written by liberal and enlight- ened writers, favorable to the popular cause in Eu- rope, and not opposed to the hew movements mak- ing there. For the accuracy of these remarka we may fear- | lessly appeal to the general character of the foreign | correspondence which has appeared in our co- lumns since the breaking out of the late revolutions | in Europe. cre Suir Against THe ex-Opera Managers —We | understand thit several of the subscribers are pre- paring to bring a suit at law against the late Opera managers and proprietors, for the recovery of the subscription money advanced upon certain condi- tions, namely—of giving so many operas—which conditions have been violated by the recent breaking up of the Opera. This suit will be avery curious affair. Under the new code of practice, it is probable the coun- sel engaged will, at the commencement of the suit, obtain an order of the court for the examination of the managers and proprietors, at the instance of the prosecutors. A number of curious questions | would, no doubt, grow out of such an investiga. tion, such as the following :-— “Did you receive the money paid by the sub- scribers for eighty nights?” “ What did you do with that money?” «Was any of it given to the church?” “Did you ever visit the dressing room behind the curtains?” “Did you ever let out your box, retained as ma- | nager or proprietor, for half price?” and so on and so on. ‘This suit wall certamly bring out some curious | developements. We wait with some impatience for its commencement | Li ITS AND ADVERTISEME’ — Ingenuity hasno limits. We learn as a fact, that many of |-the libel suits which have been brought of late in the different courts, and in which the advertising | doctors generally take opposing sides, have been got up expressly for the purpose of having the se- | veral cases published in the reports, and thus of { getting the doctors’ advertising done gratis, in the shape of law reports in the newspapers. Newspa- per reporters, not knowing the motives for bringing these libel suits, have very greenly fallen into the trap laid, and given copious reports of these bub- ble libel suits, always taking care that the charac- ter of the medicine involved is endorsed: by all sorts of certificates and ements. It is proba- | ble enough that the famous Dr. Brandreth, of Sing | Sing, who still vends his everlasting pills, beeame +a politician, and opposed to the barnburners, in order that he might be advertised gratis in the barnburning journals; for while these journals abuse him asa politician, they also advertise hia medicine as a universal restorative. Very funny, all this, — | Generat Scorr’s Arrivat.—It is now stated, upon good authority, that General Scott will not re- ceive the attentions proposed to be paid to him by the public authorities, on his arrival here, by the brig Petersburg. He intends to proceed from the Narrows to Elizabethtown, and reserve his ar- rival here for some other occasion, as he now con- siders himself under the displeasure of the Presi- dent of the United States. Polk must give General Sc easiness,indeed! The frowns of ite House | niast bea very great calamity! If, however, the | whig convention should do a certain thing, which it is very probable it will do, the distinguished con- | { queror of Mexico will get over that calamity.

Up stairs, down stairs, pit, gallery, and every available place in the house was crammed with people. all anxious to see Mose in his new scenes in “ New York as it is,’ and we have no doubt they were fully gratified. “Our National Defences” was the first piece. ‘The drilling of the Amazonian troupe, was most perfect, Mrs. Jones as their captain, showing herself worthy of facing “war's alarms.” The performances were for the benefit of Mr, Baker, the author of “ New York as it is,” and we were glad to see such a famous house for him.

Tne Racrs.—The rain of yesterday morning caused a postponement of the sports at the Union Course un- til to-day, when the three mile race between Lucy Toland and Latona will take place. Previous to which, however, a sweepstakes for three year olds will be run for. The race between the above named nags is crea- ting a great deal of interest, and large amounts are al- ready staked on the result. Latona is the favorite at elight odds. There will, no doubt, be a large attend- ance at the course, as the facilities for reaching there are provided amply for by the Long Island Railroad Company. The advertisement states the hours of The roads will be in fine order—free from nd those who take the turnpike will be richly repaid by having their lungs inflated with the rich fragrant and balmy air of the country. Trortine.—There will be a purse contended for at the Centreville Course, as soon as the racing is over at the Union, by three well known trotters. See adver- tisement for particulars. Tus Great Trottixa Matcn metwees Americus anp Buack Haws, ror $2000.—Between four and five thousand persons attended the Union Course last Mon- day afternoon, to witness the trotting match between DL. h. Black Hawk, and b. g. Americus; and never was more general satisfaction given than the result of that affair produced. Black Hawk is s new horse on the track—this being his third appearance. His first con test was with Jenny Lind, in which he made the fastest time to 250 pound wagons ever before known. His next engagement was with Lady Sutton, in which he was again successful. Both these matches were mile heats; but to test the question as to whether he was a bottom horse, led to the present match with Americus, and well has he earned the reputation of being one of the very best in the land; for he beat that veteran in two straight heats, very easily, as the report below will show Americus, since his return from Europe. has been in the hands of a yee ai professor, and it was thought that, had the contest taken place a month hence, his chances of winning would have been much better. First Heat.—Black Hawk was the favorite at the start at 100 to 80, although the major part of the large amounts wagered were posted even. G. Spicer drove Americus and A Conklin the black horse. Americus won the pole. They came up finely, got the word un- der good headway, and kept together round to the quarter pole, where Americus was about half a length | ahead—time, 42. The same positions were retained down the back stretch to the half mile pole. which was passed in 1:20. Round the lower turn their heads were parallel, both going steadily, and were driven with great caution | Coming up the home stretch, Americus broke up, and fell in behind Black Hawk, giving him the track, who crossed the score two lengths ahead, in 245. ‘The black, in golng round the upper turn, drew away «till further from Americus, he being a better climber than the other, and at the quarter and down the ba stretch was throe or four lengths ahead, and evidently going with more ease than Americus, They kept thus round to the score, making this mile in 2.53. On the last mile Americus was urged. and he gradually drew closer and closer to the black, until at the quarter pole they were side and side. It was now the universal im- pression of the crowd that Americus would take the ead and win the heat; but after keeping together down to the half mile, the biack horse suddenly dashed away from him, andere they reached the home stretch was three lengths at least in advance, up which he came very vigorously. and won by about thirty yards, ‘Time of last mile, 2.5) ud of the t, 8.31, The result of this heat decided the question in the minds of all. and the backers of the black horse would not have sold out their stakes for eighty cents on the dollar, Second Heat.—There was another excelient start for this heat, and they went away nicely, Black Hawk leading a length to the quarter pole—Time, 43 seconds, Dowa the back stretch Americus closed, and they passed the half mile, collared, in 1:2144. Going round the lower turn the black gave another specimen of his rpeed, and dashed away three or four lengths from Americus, which he held to the seore—Time, 2:47. ‘To the next quarter Americus appeared to flag, and the Diack horse got further in advance of him, notwith- atanding it was evident that Conklin had him | hard in hand.

By the whaling ship James Maury, Capt. Whel- den, from Honolulu Dee. 25, we have received a copy of the Polynesian of the latest date, from which we gather the following items :— The whale ship Frances Henrietta, Capt. Poole, of this port, fell in with, at sea, in May, lat 42 N. lon 150 E., a Japanese junk, of 200 tons, dismasted, rudder gone, and otherwise injured ina typhoon seven months previous. The original number of the crew was seventeen; but when Capt, Poole dis- covered them, they were reduced to four, and in a famishing condition. The crew had drawn lots for some time past as to who should be killed and eaten; the one upon whom the lot fell, if able, fighting for his life, and in some instances succeed- ed in killing one of the others, in which case the murdered man was firsteaten, The survivors were shockingly scarred with dirk and knife wounds, as if their lives had been often attempted by their companions. Capt. Poole kept them on board hix ship forthitty days, and then put them on board some fishing boats, close in shore, about lat. 40 N They were exceedingly grateful, and manifested much emotion on leaving the whaler. The junk had not much of a cargo on_ board, or was in such a disgusting condition that the crew of the Frances Henrietta did not like to examine her minutely. They obtained, however, a number of interesting curiosities, such as books, idols, swords, pictures, fang, boxes, china ware, boxes of tools, &e. &e. The Bremen ship Otaheite, Capt. Wiretin , had previously picked Me another Japanese junk, re- lieved the distressed crew, and taken to Honolulu veral thousand dollars worth of her cargo, which was sold at auction at that place, Dee, 8th, and brought good prices, the sales realising about $1300, exelusive of 12,000 Ibs. of beeswax, Which was r | served to be sentto Europe. The Polynesian ays: | ©The junk’s cargo appeared to it of ‘notion and the samples of Japanese merchandise uflicient to show that they have many articles that could be profitably exported, and that their own skill and com. fort could be materially increased by a foreign trade. Some copper, brass hoop, iron, and iron wire, white load, glue, ginger, and cinnamon, wore of excellent qua lity. Their wrought copper utensils resemble in de- sign and shape the metallic and earthen 4 Exchango—Mode- e ae ae ce of fexicans of the 15th | fecldiitbongs’ meds’ of good, ton aed enough in construction to provoke the merriment the greenest son of New England.” The Polynesian alludes to the ionic at Japa in Apni, 1a, of Capt. Jackson, of the whale ship Inez, of this port, under more favorable. auspices than had before been allowed;—(on which occa- sion, it may be recollected, from an account re- cently copied in our colums, the Japanese appeared friendly, offered to supply him with wood and wa- ter, but would permit no further intercourse, and desired his departure,)—and thinks the signs ot the times are threatening to the exclusive policy which has been so rigidly maintained hitherto by the Japanese government. ‘The Polynesian says, “England, France and the Uni- ted States ardently desire to effect a breach in this policy, ‘They perhaps have too high a sense of national jonor to do this by mere force of arms, but circumstan- ces now appear to be preparing the way for their inter- vention in some shape. We believe the whaling fleet are destined to do something in this cause. A new fishery has been opened in the Japan seas, Hundreds of enterprising whalers will, the ensuing season, cruize in all directions about their shoresand in their bays, in search of their game. The Japanese have no naval force te enforce respect to their inter-channel rights. The doctrine of a closed sea, however much they may desire to see preserved, they are powerless to enforce. ‘The whalers will be tempted to land for wood, water, provisions, &c. Stre weather, or some other contingency, may force some ashore. In this way some intercourse must be established. Humanity or necessity will demand it. Will the Japanese refuse ? If they continue their policy of gratuitous hospitality, their patience may become exhausted at the increas- ing demands upon it, or their cupidity may be awak- ened to receive something in return, If they abuse those who may thus be pisoed within their power, they afford the pretext which is so eagerly desired, for interference on the part of some foreign power.—" If they commence t ng im any way, the door for innovation is opened, and it will never be closed.— Junks in distress will undoubtedly be met with by lers. In case of such an event, we hope the mas- ter will have public spirit enough to carry the crew with as much of the merchandise as he can save to its port of destination. Such honorable conduct will fa- vorably impress the Japanese, and we feel sure the master who thus acts will not suffer in his interests by so doing. The Japanese merchants will appreciate the deed, and through them the government may become more alent if they should i decline to receive the rescue: ) OF a fair salvage, the master will thom have a perfect ight to it. But such a course cannot do otherwise than create a kindly feeling to- wards whaleships, and they may have occasion, cruis- ing as they will in a comparatively unknown and dan- gerous sea, to require generosity at the hands of the Japanese, At all events, we hope masters of whale ships will lose ne opportunity of favorably impressing the Japanese in regard to the respective nations they represent, and that they will make note of all informa: tion they can procure. Captain Jackson's example in both these respects is deserving ofcommendation. We have not a doubt that if he should by chance drop into the same bay again, his old friends would secretly be rejoiced to see him.’ From his journal, they evidently were pleased to have him there, but were afraid of their own Soeeesn®, and consequently made known to him with courtesy their wishes that he might leav: “It would be good policy for the United States, Eng- land and France, to each keep a national vessel cruis- ing in Japanese waters while the whaling fleet is there, ‘Their presence might be productive of good to both parties. and they would familiarize the Japanese with the aight of their flags.” A public celebration and temperance feast_ was held by the pupils of the native schools, at Hono- lulu, on the 12th of November, in the vicinity of the town, in which the King and Chiefs participa- ted. About 800 scholars, nearly 500 parents, and a large number of spectators were present. Up- wards of 500 tables were arranged for the repast, at which some 153 pigs, 469 fowls, 215 geese, to- ether with ducks, turkeys, fish, vegetables, fruit, Xc., &e., in like quantities, were demolished.— These celebrations are held under the auspices of the missionaries, and are becoming deservedly popular.

Charge of Perjury.—Officer Crosett, of the lower po- lice, arrested yesterday a man by the name of Thomas E, Davis, ona warrant inued by Justice Lothrop, wherein he stands charged with an alleged perjury, on the complaint of George A. Ward, who set forth, in his affidavit, made before the above magistrate, that on the 20th of December, 1845, the accused swore falsely in a certain suit pending before the Vice Chancellor, which statements on oath were material to the matter at issue, involving some land speculations. ‘The case will be further heard before the magistrate at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Model Artists Again.—A complaint was made yes- terday before Justice Timpson, one of our gentlemanly magistrates at the Tombs, by a genteel, motherly look- ing woman, by the name of Louisa Johnson, remding at No, 36 Gouverneer street., who made an affidavit be- rate, setting forth that her three daugh- ters by the names of Isabella Gordon, Louisa Gordon, and Elizabeth Gordon, all under 18 years of age. were nightly exhibiting themselves as model ar- tists, in tights, at Palmo’s, in Chambers street, thereby disgracing themselves—at the same time disobeying the orders of their mother. A warrant was issued for their arrest. Insulting Females.—It has beon a general complaint of late, that respectable females were unable to prome- nade on the Battery, without being folloWed, backwards and forwards, and insulted by a set of vagabonds and seamps, disguised under tho appearance of gentlemen. On Monday afternoon last, as two respectable ladies, & Miss U—— and her friend, who reside in Greonwich street, near the Battery, were walking on the Battery, betweon the hours of 5 and 6, they were followed by one of these Battery loafers, backwards and forwards, and at last grossly insulted, but as the ladies were unprotected at the time by any gentleman. and the police any where but near at hand, the contemptible fellow escaped. However, as one of these ladies was walking up Broad- way the same evening with her husband, she saw the same fellow, who then acted in a very rude manner towards her, She then informed her husband that he was the individual who committed the insult on the Battery, Enraged and indignant at the scamp, the husband was about inflicting a bodily chastisement on the spot, but seeinga policeman near at hand, he desired him to take him into custody ; but as no violent assault had been committed, the officer said it was out of his power soto do, The name of this individual was ob- tained, but which we withhold, trusting that this notice will Le a salutary leston, and prevent any further dis- aceful conduct on the part of aman who, at least, ears the outward appearance, of gentleman, ‘The ladies appeared before Justice Timpson yesterday, and a warrant was issued for tho arrest. of this ungentle- manly fellow, which resulted in his being held to bail for his future good conduct. Woe hope and trust that Captain Wiley, of the First Ward poles, will give post. tive orders to his policemen, stationed on the Battery, to watch all such gentoel loafers who yrowl about the Battery, taking every opportunity to insult respectable females; for if'such outrageous conduct ix not stopped, no decent female can with propriety venture to pro- menade in any of the public walks. Charge ef Grand Larceny.—Officers Brown ef tho chief's office, and Mullory, of the 11th ward, arrested ‘day aman by the name of Thomas Terry, on a e of stealing a gold watch and chain, valued at $80, belonging to a Mr Worrell, The watch and chain were recovered at a pawn-shop, where they had beon pawned by the accused. He was detained by the chief for a further hearing, Charge of Murder.—A stage driver by the name of Moses Ryer, employed on Reynold’s and Worth’s line of 27th street stages, a few nights ago, hadan affray with a negro in a porter house in the 4th avenue, near 27th street. in‘which the negro received a blow on the head from Ryer, said to have been given with his fist, injuring the negro so severely that he died on Tuesday night, The Coroner, on being called to hold the inquest, issued his warrant for the arrest of the ac- cused, who was taken into custody on tho charge of murder, and Justice McGrath locked him up for a fur- ther hearing.

Obtaining Goods by False Pretences,--William Gard- ner, Inte of 215 Greenwich strect, indicted, for having by means of false representations, obtained from Wil- liam Me Arthur, merchant, a bill of goods amounting to $505, on the 2ist of August last. On the part of the prosecution, it was shown in evi- dence that the accused called upon Mr. McArthur, and expressed his wishes to obtain a bill of goods on credit; at the time stating that he had been in business in Greonwich strect for about two years, and that he had a stock of goods worth $12,000 and $3,000 in cash on hand, while his liabilities were very little over that for which he was fully indemnified. The prosecution fail- ing to show that the representations of the accused were false--the jury, without leaving their seats, ac- quitted him, Attempt to Poison.—Bridget McEntegart was then called to trial for having, on the 17th of April Inst, at- tempted te poison her husband, by mixing arsenic in his food, with the intent to take his life, From the evidence adduced on the part of the prosecution, it ap- peared that the aceused and her husband lived very unhappily together; that the former was fond of liquor, and the latter on several occasions had her lodged in the Tombs; that on the day in question McEntegart. a short time after partaking of some clam soup for his dinner, became very sick indeod. and continued to vomit for several hours; that on partially recovering, the next morning, and going to the coffee canister, for the purpose of taking a portion of its contents, for his breakfast, he found a piece of paper. containing arsenic, having upon it part of » cirtgiet's lubel. upon whieh Appeared conspletious the letters \ raeyle, olson,” and that upon inquiry it was ascertained that the ac- cused had previous day purchased sixpence worth of arsenic at the store tt Mills, wore pees, and Jumes streets, for the purpose, as allog the time, of killing rats, No evidence. however, was adduced, to show that the clam soup taken by the husband contained any of the poisonous substance, or that ahe placed the paper of arsenic in the coffee canis- of getting the contents mixed with of ing the death of her hus- The case was to the jury under the ae Ye ee Sle eee ay et ate sho then adjourned until to-morrow 1 wef ‘psaaage ad Cincurr Count—May 16—Before Justice Edwards— The Sacketts Harbor Bank vs The Lewis County Bank —The motion for non-suit was again renewed this morning on the further ground that the guaranty for the payment of the drafts being decided to be bad. the defendants could not fall back on an implied contract and recover under the general counts in the declara- tion for money had and received, unless the dofen. dants were placed in the same situation they were before the drafts were given, which could only be done by giving back to the defendants the drafts and gun. ranty now in the hands of the plaintiffs. ‘This the plaintiffs refused to do, and t Common Pixas—Before Ju Mulligen vs. J.

Fetows said, that their requirements to the first of May, did not amount to more than $300 or $400, and he did not see why the Board should be called upon to advance the sum of $1,000, for expenses which will not be incurred until the Ist of August next; it will be placing them in bettér situation than any other of the ward schools; and it would also be a precedent for other schools to come to this Board, and ask for ad- vances. Mr. Dexxy contended that the appropriations mado on the first of ‘wore to be applied to the expenses of the current quarter. Mr. Cnapro said the practice was to apply the sums appropriated on the first of May to the expenses of the previous quarter. He contended that if this applica- tion was granted, there would be at least fitteen other applications for grants to cover expenses not yet in- curred. He sbougae it would be unwise of the Board to entrust commissioners with sums of money not yet needed, because the control of it would be an induce- ment to the ward officers to lavish it.
