POOLED te THE NEW YORK HERALD. ———— Whole No, 6334. NEW YORK, SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 24, 1848, ——— es wn The Republic of Slera Madre. {From the New Orleans Delta, June 14.) The Delta, we believe, was the first journal in which the design of establishing a republic be- tween the Rio Grande and the Sierra Madre was fally exposed. In the absorbing political excite- ment which prevails among our people, but little attention seems to be given toa movement of a most momentous character, and bearing upon the future history of this continent. This plan is no wild theoretical conception of some, ambitious chief, nor does it embrace ideas which will re- quire some time for their full developement, It is a general, concerted, practical scheme of brave, sagacious, energetic men, who have only to put forth their strength in a single effort, to annihi- late every vestige of Mexican power and control on this side of the great natural boundary, which once the belt, is destined soon to be the Chinese wall—the northern boundary of the republic of Mexico. : x eta se The progress of this movement, from this time | forth, will not be counted by years or months, but by days and weeks. From the rapid prosecution of their plans, it ig highly probable that the two | great political parties, who are now engrossed in | fringing forward their respective candidates for | the highest offices in the gift of the people, will | irdly hiave completed their work, before the start- | ing up of another republic upon our southern boun- dary will throw a new element of discord in their midst. A new ground for party strife will be created. Another annexation question will be in- troduced into the contest—an issue, which, like that of the Texas question of 1844, will prove the Aaron’s rod of all other issues. But there will be this great difference between the question of annexing the Sierra Madre and that of annexing Texas. The former will be constitu- ted by the almost unanimous movement of the peo- ple, of whom there are but very few of Anglo-Ame- rican origin. There will be no question as to the fairness, justice and right of those engaged in de- claring and establishing the independence of this country. [t willbe the act of the people, who have the right to make and unmake, to build up and overturn their government The action of our government on the subject, will be controlled en- tirely by considerations of policy and expediency. Don Jose F, G, Carena arrived in our city on Sa- turday last, from Tampico, for the purpose of pro- curing a printing press and the necessary, materials to commence, at Tampico, the publication ofa journal devoted to the establishment of the republic of Sierra Madre. | Senor Carena is an accomplish- ed Mexican, a writer of greatability, and has borne, a conspicuouspart in many of the stirring scenes of Mexican revolutions, He has ever belonged to the federal republican party of his country, and has suf- fered much in the cause. Understanding fully the character and wants of the people, and the condi- tion of the country, Senor Carena has perceived the great advantages, nay, the absolute necessity, of detaching the northern portion of Mexico from the body of the republic, and creating it an inde- pendent republic, capable, in case. it should be deemed expedient by the parties interested, of being annexed to the United States. In a long and interesting conversation we had with Senor Care- na, we learn that the plan which has been concocted and agreed upon at Tampico, em- brace the States of Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, and parts of the States of Vera Cruz and Puebla, with an invitation to the adjacent States to join in the movement. The Mexicans of these States, thoroughly dissatisfied and disgusted with the con- tinual revolutions and uncertainties of the Mex- ican ypublic, seek some peace, relief, and sta- bility in a new order of things. They wish to live under a real republic ; not one in name alone—not one resting for its support only on Mexican charac- ter and stability-—-but one which they hope to strengthen by introducing into the country the hardy emigrants from Europe, and the brave sons of the United States—a republic which will secure, toleration of all religions, the utmost freedom of opinion and thought; and which, for the continued of ambitious chiefs, the wars of factions, and the rivalries of castes, will substitute the peaceful pursuits, the elevating arts, and the high- toned freedom, which have made this republic the envy and gdmiration of the world, : All classes of the people are in favor of this measure, save the office-holders, the placemen un- der the Mexican government. The most distin- guished and influential men in the country, as well as the mass of the people, unite in its support. All that is necessary to attain their ends is the aid of some of our gullant volunteers, and a supply of ammunition. J’o secure these, the States and the rich men are willing to hypothecate their lands to raise funds. : ; ‘The most serious difficulty with which the new to effect anything by their exhortations. The union with the insurgents of the Indians who mbhabit the vicinity of Jalapa, who had always been the most seditious in Yucatan, and who now advance more inadmissable pretentions than the others, has obliged Carrera to abandon all idea of temporizing. The people of the revolted districts are wandering about and suffering the greatest misery. Much injury has been caused to the commerce of Guatemala by the egy pr of the mails and theseizure of foreign letters by the in- surgents. In Jatiapa, Mita and at other points, there have been encounters with the Indians, in which they fought with mach valor, although al- most always beaten by the government troops, who have recovered fresh courage since Carrera has taken command in person. The council of war continues in session, and has discussed the pro- ject of a law for the convocation of a legislative ody. Assoon as the discussion is ended, the manner of electing the representatives will be ar- ranged. The states of Central America wish to establish a central power, persuaded that neither one of them alone can present much resistance to | f, the unjust ambition of any stronger power that wishes to destroy its independence. A (usta Rica paper recommends that the charge of the foreign affairs of all the States should be cominitted to one alone. In this manner the States, withont being deprived of their sovereignty, will be nove respect- ed ubroad. Some disagreement exisie’ between the States of SaiP Salvador and Giniemala, on account of the forces of the former haying involun- tarily invaded the territories of the latter,which hap- pened in thismanner: some parties of the insurgents pursued by the troops of Guatemala, fled into the territory of San Salvador. The Guatemalians were commanded by a colonel who twice entered San Salvador—once at the hacienda of Matalopa, where the boundaries are not well defined, and another time by crogsing the frontier at the river La Paf, and penetrated half a league in pursuit of the rebels who had encamped on the banks of the river, and made incursions thence into Guatemala. The ex- planations given by that State in reply to the da- mands of San Salvador, ought to have convinced the latter that there was no hostile intention on the art of Guatemala. It is believed that there will Be a rupture on account of this, which without doubt will complicate the danger which menace thera on account of the war of castes. INTERESTING FRoM THE Sanpwicu IsLanps.— Accounts to March Ist announce the arrival at Honolulu of Mr. Dillon, Consul of France, with power to exchange ratifications of the treaty of 26th March, 1846. He was received by King Kamehameha with considerable ceremony. The government press, the Polynesian, at Honolulu, iss been placed under the directorship of Charles E. Hitchcock, Esq., as successor to 3. J. Jarvis, Esq , who is about to return to the United States. Captain Duprieshas been fined $500 for a breach of the license law. Admiral Bruat had left Tahiti for France, taking with him a Tahitian chief and seven youths, whose parents stipulated they should be educated in the Protestant faith. Queen Po- mare has engaged Rev. Mr. Thompson, Protestant Missionary at Papete, to superintend the education ot her six children. Samoa is in a distracted state. The people in the western part of the Upola have left their homes and lands to prevent war, and are scattered in various parts of the island. A duel was fought at Honolulu in the latter part of February, but without any more serious result than that ali the parties to it, principals and se- conds, were brought before the police court and fined $10 each, as peace breakers. The new Ca- tholic Bishop for the church at Honelulu arrived there in January, in a French corvette, together with a church ora and other church property. Business at Honolulu (says a correspondent of the Boston Atlas) is greatly depressed. In 1847 there had been a falling off of 200 whale ships, equivalent to a decrease of one-third of the ordinary business. The imports had increased in a corresponding ratio, leaving the market heavily overstocked with all kinds of merchandise on January 1, 1848. Since then, merchandise to the value of $400,000 more had come in and lay idle in the ware- houses. Waldo & Co., McClay & Co., & Robinson and a_gumber of others, had been compelled to give up business. Ameri- can domestics were sold at 28. 3d.. the ma- nufacturer’s prices, English and China goods were falling in like proportion, The merchants and tradespeople generally anticipate worse times before the year is out. Those who have funds are unable to remit to the United States. Exchangeis difficult to be procured at even par, and will soon command a premium. Jn 1846 and ’7, U. S. bills were selling at 20 per cent. discount. As there is republic will have to contend, grows out of the bold and threatening aspect of the Indian races. They have lately risen in various parts of the country, and burned and sacked many estates, kill- ing the proprietors. Fears are entertained that their aggressions will become more general and aggravated. A week or so ago, one hundred and twenty men marched to Upper Tampico, to defend the place from the Indians, who had arranged a plan of attacking it during the feasts. But these savages will yigld easily to American bullets and bayonets. Thete will be a force of at least 4000 no export, specie is going out of the country. Within a few months 200,000 have been aloe off, mostly to China. The whalers repairto Ma- nilla, Hong Kong, and other ports, to recruit, being nearer their hunting grounds. Lyncuin@ at Burrato.—A police case at Buf- falo, on the 20th inst., elicited the following cir- cumstances as narrated in the Buffale Gommemial Advertiser :—* Isaac Dean, a coloréd man, arrived in this city on Sunday from Rak on the steamer Oregon, and applied to another cofored man named Harrison to procure him a house. On Monday evening Harrison informed Dean that he had ob- American soldiers in the new republic, as_ soon as itis proclaimed, ready to take a part in its de- fence and organi The treaty with Mexico has been consummated It is now on its way to Washington, and in a few days will be promulgated as the. law of the land. ‘The boundary line between Mexico and the United States, indicated in that treaty, will, we predict, never be drawn. Without any agency of the United States, the engineers who may be sent there to run the line, will find that there is no re- public of Mexico north of the Sierra Madre. They will have to return, and wait for further treaties with other powers, before such boundaries can be settled and designated. The mene, mene, tekel, upharsin of North Mexico has been written in fluning letters, upon the snowy heights of Sierra Madre, and the flag of a new Anglo-Mexican re- public waves in triamph along the whole rugged line of that great impassable barrier. Tne Israuus ANT! —Our letters from-Queretaro show that the subject of the canal across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec has been brought before the Congress of Mexico, and bills have been proposed to authorize the formation «+f colonies of foreigners, with the object of running this cana!. Whether this plan.is connected with the treaty of Guadalupe, or is an independent measure, a bid for foreign aid and indemnity, we have not yet the means of learning. | But if it con- ternplates the transfer of the authority of carrying on this great work, to any other power but the United States, it will be well for our government to interfere promptly to prevent any such act, and to a sert our superior ability and greater interest in the completion of this great.enterjftise. If provi- sion has been made with reference to this subject in the treaty of Guadalupe, it will go far to recon- cile many of the opponents of that measure. Tt must be confessed that neither our government nor our people seem to be sufficiently aroused to the importance of this enterprise Mexico has au- thorized colonies to be formed on the proposed line of the canal, it will certainly be onr duty to take immediate ste; s to secure the benefit of such grants. If we do not? Great Britain certainly will. She has, through her tntrigues on the coast of Hon- duras and in Yucatan, placed herself in a position to take advantage of any opportunity which may itself of realizing a long-cherished scheme. The British officers on the coast have in their pos- session the surveys and maps, which have been mide from time to time, of the route across the Isthmus by the river San Juan. Que of the earliest, if not the very first of these expeditions, was under the command of Horatio Nelson, then a stripling lieutenant, who lost one-half of his crew from ex- im making the survey, but succeeded, in ascertaining the practicability, inde ity, of cutting a canal across the Isthmus. The maps and notes of this survey are now in this city, in the possession of one of our most intelligent engineers. To frustrate the plans of Great Britain, and to secure to the United States the entire control of the intercommunteation of the two great oceans which lash our either shore, will be the imperative duty of our government—a duty which, we trust, will not be lost sight of during the excitements _o political strife in which our people and our politi- cians seem to be almost entirely absorbed.—New Orleans Delta, June 14. Tue Revvwrse or Guatemata.—The Diario de ta Marma (Havana) contains news from Guate- mala to the 8d of J General Carrera, Pre- sident of Guatemala, had left. the capital with some forces in order to direct the opera- tions against the insurgents, who kept the coun- ty in astate of continual inquietude. Carrera determined to try pacific means betore he re- sorted to force. “As in Yucatan, ecclesiastical mediation was resorted to in order to pacify the Indians. Accordingly, vavious priests and curates left San Sebastian, ‘Mimstownctantis, Esquipulas, and other places,on the mission of peace ; but in a short time they returned without Having been able tained a house, and requested him to get into his wagon and he would drive him to it, which he did. Butinstead of taking him to the house as he pretended, he drove out of the city, when the wa- gon was surrounded by a gang of persons, five of whom jumped into the wagon—all colored men— who seized him, and pulled him over backwards, and gagged him—one of them driving the ga into his mouth with his font. ‘They then pulled off his coat and vest, and tied his vest over his mouth, threatening that if he made any noise they would killhim. ‘They drove two or three iniles out of town, and then stopped, one o{ them saying, ‘let us wait until the old man comes, up” and see if he wants to go any further.’ Dean then asked what they wanted of him? One of them said, ‘ Drive on, he is ahead,’ and ano- ther said, ‘Whot’ The reply was, ‘ Holden.’ They then drove on until they came to ore men, when he was taken over the fence. uear what looked like a brook. They then tied his hands again, and put his knees up through his arms so that he could not move, and one of them said, ‘let the old man whip him—he is the best man to do it.’ Dean then began to beg, calling him Hol- den, and thought it was Holden. Dean then re- ceived a hundred lashes with rawhides. One of them then said, ‘tell what I want you to be SF tell the truth now, whether you betrayed. that man in Chicago, for we intend to swear you and then hang you.’ Dean refused to say that he didso. One of them then said, ‘give him 500 lashes, and he will tell the -truth;’’ and they then recommenced whipping him, but he made some al et one then took him by the throat, and choked him until he was insensible. When he recovered he heard one of them say, ‘ you ought not to cheke him to death, or we shall not have na fan of Nai Some of eae ware usy rigging up a gallows, by tying rails together, &o. One of them then. eat down beside hiss, an asked him what he received for betraying that man in Chicago. Dean denied all knowledge of any such transaction, He then looked around and saw that they had got his two pocket books, and had taken out the money and papers. He bezged of them not to take his’ money, for it was all he had ; but they took it all, and he has not recovered any. He had in his pocket book eight five dollar bills, six three dollar bills, four five franc pieces, and other change. It was quite light then, as. the moon was up, and they sald: ‘there is not a hun- dred dollars in all—if he has betrayed any niggar, he got poor pay—this is a small allowance when shared all around,’ Harrison then came and felt of him, and said, ‘he is pretty well cut to pieces, except one small place here—you had better give him about twenty lashes more, andnot hang him.” They were not agreed as to whether they had given him 500 lashes or 300. ‘They then fell to, and gave him the other twenty, previous to which they had put a rope around his neck, with a run- ning noose, so as tochoke him. ‘They then untied him, and told him to dress one and leave Baf- falo before daylight. One of them staid by and helpedshim to put on his clothes, still threatenin him. After he got dressed he crawled back, an found that he was on Batavia street.

Another Irishman hasfallen a victim to the machinations of legal artifice, and to the lawless- | ness of reckless power. | His offence has been—love for Ireland as intense | as was his hatred of foreiga oppression. Deeply versed in the history of his country, he read in that history one continuous tale of English perfidy and | rapine. In the horrors of 1847—in, the desolation | of 1848, he found the same curse of misrule blight- | ing a land, fitted by the hand of' nature for the en- | jJoyment of unrivalled felicity. Saddened and | stung by such reflections, he vowed that he would | expel from his native soil this spirit of evil, or perish | in the attempt. We seek not to discuss the prudence of his coun- sels, or the expediency of his designs. Though participating in many of his sentiments, our con- federation never identified itself with all his opin- ions ; but even those who dissent from them most, co not deny that they were dictated by the purest mate ability, and vindicated with heroic fortitude, Our complaint is not, that such a man was treated | ‘a foe by the British government ; but that in have been violated. Totear him from his country, and from his family, a special enactment was framed. Even the penal code of Ireland —that 4 egislation, could not sup- ply an instrument powerfu enough to strike him down. It became necessary to forge a new weapon for the man, and for the occasion. The enactment of this law, though a gross out- rage ae public liberty, has been less intolerable than the official crimes which have accompanied its execution, Catholies of Ireland! bow down your heads in shame. You have been branded as unworthy to take part in the administration of justice in your native land. On the late trial you have seen every Catholic inhabitant of this ‘e1ty ignominiously chased as perjurers from the jury box. Slaves you are—slaves you and your children deserve to re- main, if you resent not, as one man, this insult. We refrain here from recapitulating details al- ready but too well known. None will contradict us when we affirm that Mr. Mitchel has been found guilty by a jury selected not to try, but to convict im By these nefarious arts a momentary triumph has been consummated—a triumph not over an ob- noxious foe, but over thesacred obligations ofejus- tice, over the violated liberties of a nation. Against you, against your children, against your aspirations for freedom, not against an arraigned or convicted patriots have the late prosecution been directed. Have these iniquities subdued your spirit ? Have they quelled your discontent? Have they abroga- ted your resolve? Have they schooled you to kiss the foot which tramples and spurns you ¢ These are questions which each man amongst you must answer for himself. For us, we declare that our resolve is not only unshaken, but is con- firmed, and rendered more stern by these outrages of unscrupulous power. We will not concea| from you—we will not con- ceéal from the government, that nothing but the most strenuous exertions of our council prevented the outbreak of an insurrection last week. Thou- sands of brave men had resolved that John Mitchel should not leave the Irish shore,except across their corpses. We apprehended that, under present cir- cumstances, an armed attempt to rescue him, and to free Ireland, might have proved abortive. We therefore interposed, and with difficulty sucveeded in preventing the fruitless efiusion of blood. But whilst we hesitate not to avow that such has been our conduet, we do no: feel at liberty to_con- ceal from you that the recent indignities offered to the Irish nation, have greatly tended to remove from our minds the hope which we have hereto- fore desired to cherish, that the question at issue between England and Ireland will be settled by amicable adjustment. We feel bound to tell you, without disguise, thas these indignities and wrongs are rapidly bringi to that period when armed resistance to the oppressors of our country will be- come a sacred obligation, enforced by the highest sanctions of public duty, Under these impressions we cannot shrink from the responsibility of advising you to prepare at once for the protection of your invaded liberties. By the love which you bear to your country and your kind—by your attachment to your homes—by your regard for pour children’s “weal—by your thirst for honorable fame—we exhort you to unite in a holy league against usurpation and inyust Let no selfish passions contaminate your purpose— let no factious strife impede the execution o your design. Learn to contemplate calmly and_ firmly the chances of a final struggle, and prepare for that struggle by uepiahing yourselves with all such re- sources as may enable you to command success. Above all, cease’ not to invoke, on bended knee, and with humble and devoted hearts, the blessmg, and the aid, and the guidance of Heaven, upon efforts consecrated as the most sanctified of duties by the eternal principles of justice.

GRAND REVOLUTION IN HALIFAX: A GOVERNOR'S SON PURSL THROUGH THE STREETS. Government House Surrounded! SPEECH OF SIR JOHN HARVEY. THE MILITARY (xot) CALLED OUT. Lieut. Frank Harvey, a son of the respected Lieut.-Governor of this province, insulted the son of the Hon. James McNab, at a ball last autumn. At a ball last Monday the insult was repeated. Friends interfered. The matter was still unsettled, and Mr. Harvey assailed Mr. Dickson yesterday inthe street. A crowd gathered. They took sides with Mr. Dickson, and pursued Lieut. Harvey through Hollis, Water, Jacobs, Argyle, and Bar- rington streets to Government House, where nearly 1,000 people had collected. Frank’ was powhere to be seen, but his excellency the Lieut.-Governor, in his usual urbane manner, expostulated with the crowd and Mr. Dickson—assuring them thac the law would protect Mr. Dickson, and that he would do allin his power as a governor and a parent to give satisfaction. Mr. Dickson replied that. if he did not get satisfaction he would horsewhip the offender wherever he could—soon after which tke crowd moved off, with three cheers for Dickson, and thus ended the nine days’ wonder of a revolu- tion in Halifax.” Inrérizsting PuenomeNon.—At the gas works, now in course of construction at Buffalo, there oc- curred, a few days since, in the construction of a well, a circumstance worthy of observation, After having penetrated some twenty-five feet from the surface, the laborers came upon rock. ‘This is the coniferous rock of Eaton, and the upper limestone of the Helderberg series of our State geologists, which underlies our city, and « large portion of Lake Erie, adjacent. At about one-fourth of a mile from the point in question, an artesian well had recently been carried. down through this and its associate rocks, about ‘one hundred feet, before water was obtained, and then, although the supply is abundant, 1t is so charged with sulphuretted hy- drogen gas as to be offensive and useless. Such water, for the purposes of the gus company, would | be particularly worthless, as they require the best | of water for washing their gas, aad absorbing fron it this identical ftid odor. There remained, how- ever, no alternative but to penetrate the rock, and risk the result. The well was accordingly bricked up to the surface, and the boring of the rockfcom- menced. — Having penetrated 1t twenty-five inches, the drill fell into a cavity in the rock, and on being withdrawn, was followed by a jet of water, which continued to flow until it had filled the well to the level of the lake—which makes the water in the well about twenty feet deep, Subsequent observa- tions have shown that the supply fountain, in this case, is Lake Erie; for when the waters of the lake rise or fall, by the action of the wind, the water in this well invariably conforms to all such changes of level. This, like all sedimentary rocks, 18, of course, stratified; and this formation is also some- | what remarkable for its large and numerous fis- | sures, Or joints; and it is through one of these pis- sages, exten ‘ing from beneath the lake to the point valuable supply of pure water is obtained.

The defend- ant’s sister took a lease from plaintiff, of the house, No. 852 Broadway, for two years, from the Ist May, 1847; and the defendant became surety for the rent. Miss Whitmore went into possession and paid the quarter's rent; which fell due on the 1st of August fol- lowing. Sho left shortly after. and the suit is brought torecover the quarters’ due at November last. The defence set up was eviction by the landlord; it was shown that he commenced building a hotel in the rear of the plaintiff's house; and that from excavating in the rear of plaintiff's premises, and the noise and dirt mado‘by his workmen and servants, plaintiff was dis- turbed in her possession, and had to leave. The jury rendered a verdict for $100 for plaintiff. Geo. A. Wasson vs, Adam Smith.—This was an ae- tion on a promissory note for $546 80. The signature to the note was admitted. The defence was that plain- tiff owned property of the value of $3000, subject toa mortgage of $1100; that he assigned this property to his creditors ,one of which was defendant, as a security for their debts, and that the assignment contained a covenant to re-assign upon being paid their demands ; that they neglected to pay the interest on the mort- age and allowed it to be foreclosed and the property sold. Plaintiff's counsel contended that the contract was broken by the creditors, inasmuch as they allowed the property to be sold, by reason of which it could not be re,gssigned to the defendant, according to the terms of the assignment, and therefore the plaintiff could not recover. ‘The Judge held that the contract between the defendant and his creditors was not a discharge, nd thatthe mortgagve had a rizht to foreclose and sell the mortgaged premises ; av! tirocted the jury to find for plaintiff.

On the part of the defendant it was insisted that the plain- tiff bad hired himeeif for a year. and that the defend- ant had a right to avail himself of his services in any branch of his business, and that he allowed him liberal expenses whiie in Europe. The Judge told the jury that if th plaintiff was specially employed as a book keeper, the defendent had no right to employ him in any other department of his business; and if they be- lieved he was so employed, then they should estimate the value of his services in any other capacity. accord- ing to the evidence produced before them.

Burglary.—Jobn Fry was put forward on trial, charg- ed with having forcibly entered the house of Mary Jane MeDonnell, residing in First street, in April last, and stealing therefrom some wearing apparel Many Jane MeDonxeut sworn, test!ivd that she lives at No. 99 First street; on 25d of \; i she left her house, and returned, when she foun i ‘ie door open ; three dresses and a black cloak were stolen from the house; they were all valued at $60; got part of her property at the Fourteenth Ward Station House. Guack Payor, of No, 19 First street, remembers the day the house was broken open; lives opposite the house of Mra. McDonnell; saw two men on the day of the robbery stop opposite, and open the door of Mrs. MeDonnell’s house; saw both enter the house; it was between two and five o'clock in the day; both men came out of the house, and I saw one of the men come out with a bundle under his arm; the prisoner is one of the persons I saw there; I was attracted by his ap- pearance, because he seemed so very young. In her ‘cross-examination, witnoss testified—I sup- poxed that prisoner was going in to the family that were living up stairs; the other mau that went in wat much older than the prisoner; it was the older man that had the bundle under his arm; I did not see both men together, after the man with the bundle came out of the house. " Officer Josxrns testified that he found the property at Mrs. Doyle’s, an old receiving store in Water street. He asked her where she got the property, she told him shegot it from ber husband, one of the men who has been arrested on this charge. : Officer Jrvraixs testified that he arrested the pri- soner in Suffolk street, between Rivington and Stan- ton, He came off at once with witness.

The defence put in was that the pri- soner told a witness, a spark from his pipe had caused the straw to ignite near the stove. The jury found the prisoner guilty, James G. Bogardus was put on trial for forgery in the third degree, in passing a fictitious promissory note for $132 on a party named Wilbers, H. Wr testified that the note was signed “J, Kinsley,” which turned out to be a fictitious signature, and that prisoner passed the same upon him. The defence proved that Kinsley signed the note, that the signature was attached as a bona fide transaction, The jury acquitted the prisoner. The Grand Jury appeared in court, having floished | their business for the term, and handed in the follow- | ing presentment :— To the Court of General Sessions:— The Grand Jury in and for tho city and county of New York respectfully present :— That, in fulfilment of the duty assigned to them, | they have diligently visited and examined, with the aid of the respective «fivers, the various public institutions under the control of the city government, and taken measures to inform theme! 1 other subjects of municipal and police regulation. properly falling within the «phere of their inquiries Tho result has beon, in the main, satisfactory especially with regard to those institutions more specifically of a benevolent charac- ter; yet there are some points which the Grand Jury find open to animadversion, as standing much in neod of practical improvement. One subject of prominent importance forces itvelf upon the attention of the Grand Jury, as well in their rivate and individual, as in their official relations overns the production of springs and fountains.— Buffalo Com. Adv, ie his is the very prevalent. increasing, and, the Grand Jury cannot but think, deleterious and deplorable vio- lation of the ordinances designed to promote the health- ful influences of the Christion Sabbath. Long expe- | ferred to by officer Josephs, was a “rum mill.” (Laugh- | | entertained. | cer, and a second time the sick are sifted out | this double inspection, if the officer is capable and rience, unvarying Jn its results, proves beyond ques- tion that, even without reference to religious conaidera- tions, the seaenlty the comfort and happiness of a contunity are intimately dependant on the periodical | Opportunity for calm ection and respite from the cares, the toils and exeitements of ordinary life, af- forded by the recurrence of one day in seven for re- pose. In this view alone, apart from all religious obli- gation, it is, in the opinion of the Grand Jury. greatly to be desired that the increased numbers and efficiency of the police, as well as other means, might be employ- ed effectually in diminishing the very large resort, chiefly of the young, to cigar shops, public houses, and groceries, which now present scarcely any porcoptible difference between Sunday and the other days of the week—the difference. indeed, if there be any, being to the disadvantage of that which should be a day of rest, because on that day the frequenters of these places are more at leisure than on any other, An equally conspicuous ground for censure is the | practice of racing, or at least, of furious driving, for which our principal avenues and some of the streets are made, on Sunday, the arena, This, and the noto- rious existence of numerous gaming-houses, not un- known, it is said, to the police, are: fitting subjects for the interference of the police authorities, and cry aloud for amendment It is not too much to say that the evils of which Sun- mentable to behold so many human b: ings deprived of that liberty which they have used to the prejudice of society. The Grand Jury found this institution phy- sically in good condition—clean, tolerably well ventila- ted, and free from confusion and disorder. They re- gret to say, however, that a want of good moral organ- ization is painfully perceptible; classification of the prisoners is but vory imperfectly attained, and there ix an almost total want of such employment as would at once conduce to the welfare of the inmates and the pecuniary advantage of the city. The fault here lies not with the able and faithful Superintendent, Mr. Edmonds, but with the public authorities, whose agent he is, and to whose province of duty it belongs to in- troduco a better system. in happy contrast, under this especial head, is the House of Refuge, at the foot of Twenty-third street. Here for nearly a quarter century has been in active and successful operation one of the noblest and most beneficient reformatory systems ever devised by hu- man philanthropy. The physical, moral and intellect- ual redemption of thousands who were almost lost, has beongmphieved, and still the good work is going on faithMMMy, efficiently, under the intelligent administra- tion of the Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents, and of the various officers to whom the execution of its designs is intrusted. ‘There are now in the refuge two hundred and fifty boys, and sixty girls, chiefly supplied from the city, though small addi- tions are made from other parts of the State. ‘The in- mates are carefully instructed in the useful branchos of a plain English education, and are besides usefully employed in various handicrafts, qualifying them to fill reputable and advantageous stations in society, when they are fitted for a return to its duties and its privileges—agreat step to such return being effected by the system of binding out those whose conduct in the refuge proves them worthy, to such employers, re: siding in the country, as ure willing to take appren- tices from the institution, ‘The records abound with proofs and illustrations “of the happy agency exerted n this way by the refuge. The best evidence that can be afforded of good and humane management, on the part of those having the charge of these youthful candidates for reform, is the fact that, notwithstanding the unfavorable influences amid which their childhood was generally passed, natu- rally tending to sow the seeds of disease, the Grand Jury found only two girls, and not one boy, on the rick list” Equally strong testimony to the excellence of the moral care employed is presented in the established certainty that about three-fourths of those who enter the institution leave it thoroughly reformed. Visits are continually received from such, now become pros- perous and respected members of society. About one-third of the expense is defrayed, annually, by the proceeds of the boys’ Inbor ; the residue is met by grants from the State, and by the license tax on theatres, ke ‘The physical condition of the refuge appeared to the Gran@Jury all that could be desired ; cleanliness and order were strictly observed throughout, and th whole system of government is manifestly a (happy combination of firmnoss, kindness, judicious control and mild persuasion The next establishment visited was the Bellevue Hospital, oceupyiny the site formerly known as the Alms House, extending from 26th to 28th street, and from the First Avenue to the East River. This great charity, though now greatly relieved from the immense burden of disease that was unexpectedly thrown upon it by the pestilential immigration of last year, still has about five hundred sick under medical care. | Its capa- bilities have been severely tried, as well as the forti- tude, skill and industry of the resident physician and his assistants; and it was gratifying to the Gaand Jury to see how ample, systematic and efficient were all the arrangements for the relief of that suffering which tit is the province of the Hospital to alleviate. Notwith- stunding the large number of patients, all the provi- sions for cleanliness and ventilation were most com- plete, and strictly attended to; while tho assiduous care ot the medical gentlemen and their attendants seemed rather to indicate the kindness of friendship than the mere cold observance of compensated duty ‘The attention of the Grand Jury was called to the great superiority of iron bedsteads, with which two only of the wards are furnished. The substitution of these, for the kinds now in use jm all the other wards, is suggested as eminently desirable, The new Nursery buildings on Randall's Island, ten in number, were inspected with unmingled satisfac- tion. Nearly a thousand children—the orphans of the city—are here comfortably provided for ; enjoying the indispensable requisites, not always accessible to the children even of parents in comfortable circumstances, of pure air and water, wholesome food, elean clothing, spacious dormitories, ample play-grounds, well-arranged sehool-rooms, and, in short, every thing conducive to healthy and happy developement. Tho appearance of the inmates abundantly shows that all their wants are humanely and wisely cared for. Not the least satisfactory visit made by the Grand Jury was to Ward's Island, where the Commissioners of Emigration have been for some time engaged in making arrangements for the reception of the unfor- tunates who claim their peculiar care, Ample build- ings for this purpose have been provided, with every thing else needful ; and there is reason to hope and be- lieve, that even such another vast influx aa that of | last year would find the commissioners, at ajl points, ready to meet the exigency. The only thing yet wanting is a hospital for the sick among the immi- grants, and this is now in progress. Here we found nearly five hundred recent emigrants (of whom two hundred are children) mostly of that class who, upon arrival, are unable to take care of elves, and require temporary shelter. ‘This new feature in the eleemosynary operations of this city, in- trusted to the superintendence of a small number of our fellow citizens, well known for their public spirit and philanthropy, presents many characteristics wor- thy of especial observation. ‘Though « State institution, the commission is por- forming & great amount of labor of incalculable bene- fit to the city. This being the point to which nearly all the emigration from the various countries of the Old World is converging, the mingling of these people with our own poor—as must have been the case under former circumstances—and the admission of #0 many into our institutions, filled as they already are, almost torepletion, must necessarily have burdened them to an intolerable extent. The substitution of thie mode of superintending the affairs of the recent emigrant population, independent as it is of political mutations, and intrusted to well-known hands, we cannot but re- gard as a happy improvement. ‘The appearance of the establishment at Ward’s Island is highly creditable to all parties concerned; and, though in existence but a year, and commenced under unfavorable ciroumstan- ces, it is inferior to none we have seen; and we have good assurances that it is managed with the beat eco- nomy and diseretion. ‘They have thoughtit alo in the line of their duty to make some inquiry into the measures now in force, to protect our citizens against the encroachments of the diseases which are brought in great abundance from foreign lands by immigrants; concerning the spread of which, through the city, much apprehension has been For this purpose, they visited the qua- rantine establishinent, about «ix miles below the city, where is stationed the health officer, and where are also the marine hospitals The plan of operations we found to be as follows: Immediately upon arrivalat the quarantine station and often before coming to anchor, each vessel subject | to examination is boarded by the health officer, The passengers who are able are all ordered on deck, and made to pass singly through a narrow gangway, where each one ix critically examined, and all who show any signs of sickness are separated from the rest. The of- ficer then descends into the eabin and steerage, and hunts out all who may have attempted concealment. The sick are then all removed to the hospital on shore, and should the vessel be found ima foul condition, it and the passengers are detained until thoroughly fu- migated and cleansed, which requires « greater oF less length of time. Finally, on their way up to the city, | the remaining passengers are all brought to the what! at quarantine, and again examinod by the health off- From | faithful, it is almost impossible that any sick passengers can escape, and we have the fulest assurances that none are brought up to our wharves, What discases, under Providence, may appear among them after reach- ing thoir destination hore, it is not for any one foresee, We have been informed that, in addition to (he inspections below, it is the intention of the authorities to whom has been entrusted the duty of receiving the | immigrants here, when a wharf Js obtained at which they may all be landed, to institute another health examination, s0 that ail who may have sickened since leaving quarantine, and be‘ore coming into the city. may be discovered. and returned immediately to the marine hospital, ‘This would complete the chain of preventive measures, and the city would then be as se- cure as human means could make it The Grand Inquest were gratified at the ample ar- rapgements for the reception and care of the sick at the marine hospital. .One feature, which we are in- formed is new, and particularly uselul, was established | by the Commissioners of Hinigration, under whose ge- neral care the legirlature has recently plaged the entire | institution, The United States government, with great day idleness and its concomitant, Sunday drinking.are | | no unprolific source, are sadly brought to view in the | progress of a visit to the City Prison, where it is la- Price Twe Cents, houses within the inclosure, which are a aa convalescent hospitals, where every patients detain ed after recovery, until his strength is entirely restor- ed, and all danger of relapse has disappeared.

In the Lunatic Asylum the Grand Jury found no less than fouy hundred and twenty-five afflicted children of humanity, suffering under the most terrible of all de- privations, and, it was with regret observed, lens ade- uately cared for than their situation and the dictates of benevolence require, The deficiency, however, ap- Pears to be the inevitable result of want of room to ac- | Commodate the number of patients; and measures to supply this want are in progress—at least to some ex- Yet farther enlargement of the premises will, no doubt. become necessary, at a time not very distant.— ‘The large and rapid increase of mental maladies among | the class of Population which supplies claimants for | charitable relief, affords a painfully interesting subject | of inquiry. It may, no doubt, be accounted for. in part | at least, by the terribly baneful agency of intempe- | rance, stimulated to increased activity by the poisonous | adulteration of liquors, so common among the makers and venders of these enemies to the human race. With such facilities and means as are at command, the Lunatic Asylum appears to be managed with com. mendable tenderness, attention, and observance of | cleanliness and quiet, so essential to the process of re- covery. ‘The Alms House, now entirely removed to Blackwell's Island, presents accommodations amply sufficient for the present number ofits inmates, for whom the Super- intendent finds abundant and useful employment, as well in the cultivation of fruits and garden vegetables, aa in grading and filling up the grounds adjacent tothe aildings. In the Penitentiary, also on Blackwell's Island, the Grand Jury found somewhat more than nine hundred prisoners, about two hundred of whom are occupants of the hospitals attached to the institution, suffering chiefly from diseases superinduced by a life of intem- perance, or other vice. The able-bodied males are em- ployed in quarrying stone, and other useful labor; but very inadequate provision seems to be made for turnin, to account the {udustry of the women. ‘The Grend Jury do not feel themselves qualified to offer any xpeol- fic suggestions for the remedy of this undoubted evil; but they would solisit for the subject the early atten- tion of the authorities to whose cognizance it belongs. In other respects the Penitentiary appears to be well regulated. Here, as in all the pubiic institutions visit- ed..s nice regard is paid to cleanliness, commensurate with the facilities enjoyed; but these would be greatly enhanced by the introduction of the Croton water— that richest physical treasure of our city—the-practica- bility and the immense benefits of the measure baving been amply demonstrated in the case of the Nurseries on Randail’s Island. To convey the water, by means of pipes, to Blackwell's Island, can be no more imponsi- ble or difficult than it was found to be in that case; and it may almost bo said, much as has been done for the spiritual and temporal welfare ef the city’s eon- viots, that the full measure of humanity is not meted out to them, so long as they are without an agent of such priceless benefits as our own unrivalled Croton. On Blackwell's Island, also, is the Small-pox Hospital —an establishment, in its present condition, unworthy of the name, and a source of reproach to the humanity, not to say the justice, of our city. ‘The patients suffer- ing under this loathsome and painful disease are crowd- ed in wretched apartments, of insufficient dimensions, inadequately protected even from the rain, destitute of proper ventilation, and without means for the separa. tion that ought to be provided for diversities of sex, of color, and of moral character and conduct, Of nec sity there is, under such circumstances, no fair chance for the employment of medical skill and care, and there is great danger that a hot-bed of contagion may be thus perpetuated, to the serious hazard of ali who dwell upon the island, and even to our own citizens themselves, With this report of their examinations, the Grand Jury think it not improper to present their respectful but warm congratulations to the court, and to their fellow-citiaens. on the possession, by the city of New York, of institutions so useful, so munificently sup- ported, and so valuable to the best interests of nity.

Charge of Bigamy—Ofleer Crosett, one of the officers attached at the lower police, succeeded yoster- day in arresting @ man by tho name of Albert Davi, (who has already escaped from several officers) on charge of bigamy, in marrying a young woman by the name of Ann Elliot, on the 16th of May last, his first wife being yet amongst the living. He was found bs the officer secreted in house at No. 6 Franklin strect, On being taken betore Justice Lethrop he was com. mitted to prison for a further hearing. the other day the Charge Dismissed.—We noticed arrest of John Rutner, keeper of an emigrant board- ing house, at No. 5 Albany street, on a charge of de- taining the luggage of an emigrant, and fined $50. The case was rather premature as regards the fine ; that however, was the intention of the justice, and would have been the decision, had it not been brought to a hearing by Mr. James M'Gay, the counsel for ths de- fendant, who through his ingenuity, caused evidence to be shown which justified the magistrate in dismisa- ing the charge. Stabbing with intent to Kill.-Offleer Demilt, of the 13th ward, arrested yesterday a Dutchman by the name of Adam Bower, on a charge of stabbing another Dutch- man by the name of Peter Engler, residing at No. 67 Mangin street, with a knife, inflicting a severe wound on the left ribs, which is supposed will prove fatal, as the wounded man is now confined to his bed in conse- quence. Justice Timpson committed the accused to prison to await the result. Charge of Grand Larceny.—Oficer Norris, of the Chiet’s office, arrested yesterday © young man by tl name of Walter E. Leannard, on a charge of stealing a daguerreotype apparatus, valued at $60, the property of Josiah W. Thompson, No. 262 Broadway. ‘The paratus was stolen in January last, and since that ti the accused has been secreted in Philadelphia, until a few days since he came on to New York, and soon af- ter was discovered by the officer and arrested. On hia arrest, he acknowledged taking the property, portion of which he returned, Justice Lothrop Tocked him up for trial A Savage Dry Goods Clerk.—A complaint was made yesterday before Justice Timpson, by a genteel looking young woman, by the name of Ann Porter, a resident of Brooklyn, against a dry goods clerk, by the of Justin MeCarty. employed by Hall and Fuller, in Ca- tharine street, for assaulting her while in the store, under the following circumstances, as related by the | complainant :—It appears that the complainant was pricing a piece of calico, which McCarty represented would wash without fading; this the young woman doubted ; andin order to test the question, a piece of the calico was cut off; soap and water furnished by the cierk, for the purpose of testing the fast eolors. The y: woman washed the piece of calico in the back part of the store, and pronounced the colors faded, refusing to purchase the article; on the con. trary, the clork declared that if anything the colors were more brilliant. A dispute now arose; the clerk became out of temper; took hold of Mi Ann and snatched an umbrella from her possession, and refused to return it again unless she bought the calico. It was for this arswult that @ warrant was issued; and on | being brought up by officer Darrow, of the 7th ward, the umbrella was returned to the complainant, and the clerk held to bail for his better behavior in future Charge uf Stealing Money.—Officer Jeffrey and ex- Constable Joseph, arrested yesterday, a black wom: calling herself Mary Thompson, ona char ¢ of steal $52, belonging to Mrs. Burrets, residing at No. 2a Mulberry street, under the following circumstances engaged in the house as a ser.
