The enthusiasm of the meeting was be- yond ¢ ption, Most assuredly, if the people of Germ in gencral are animated with the same ardent enthusiacm as distinguished the numerous Germans in this city, it would be impossible for any monarchs, ‘with all their power, to ¢ such apeople. Although scarcely apy public notice bad been given of the me ing, yet at the hour of assembling. in a few minut aiter the opening cf the door, the great hall of the Shakspeare, one of the finest rooms in the eity for pub- Jie meetings, was deusrly tiled. The crowd was so great, both in the hail and upon the stairway, that the eat, after a time. became alinost in-upportable, ‘The meetrug was called to order by Av vstus Kwox, Esgq.. of this city, who nominated Mr. Annes, a well known merchant of our city, to the Chair, Mr. A, was then voted into the Chair by acclamation, Merers, Hetsaci aod Nareastex were then unani- mourly appointed Secretaries to the me ting. The Cuairman then briefiy addressed the meeting on the subject whieh had brought them together, and spoke in animated terms of the euthusiasm which he beheld exhibited on this important o om, Mr. Kaura then came forward, @id after som» glows ing and ardent remgrks on the great erisis now bre ing forth in Kurope: introduced «aptain Mayne Reed, @ gentleman who has greatly distinguished bimself upon almost every field of battle tougut in Mexico, to the asrembled multitude. On the mention of the name of the gallant American soldier, an immense cheering eusued. und Fr cheers of warm welcome and honorable greetix given with indescribable enthusiasm, and which made the roof echo with the ioud reverberation. Captain Rerp then came forward and addrossed the meeting as follows :— GenUemen—I have two regrets—one, that | am almost a stranger to your noble language—a language by eve- ry title worthy to express the sentiments of a republi- can heart. If I cannot speuk as Germans, [ean feel with thom; and my friendship for that great people has not been founded on any trick of flattery ; it was was formed and sealed upon the field ot battle; Wh are we here! Not to advocate the se of republican- ism, It needs ne advocacy, It isan axiom that re- quirs no proof, or rather a theorem that has been fully proved by the experience of millions of intelligent Americans, Why. then, are we assembled bere! To Sympathive with the struggles of cur republican bre- thren in Europe. Let us. then, express that sympathy in a practical manner. not by words, but by actions — Let the rich man ting his gold, and’ the poor man his Dody into the cause ; le. the pu ked. and the sword drawn ; and never was it drawn ia @ holier cause, Lhave offered mine, gentlemen. and I wiil go to Europe, if | should go alone. But I will not go aloue. When | Jock upon the iron men of Gerwany who surround me, Ican recog:ine in many a bold and fishing eye, my future companions in arms. A few brave spirits have already declared themselves, and we will carry our banner to Europe, if we have to unfurl it upon the shores under the red spray of battle. { repeat again, it is the holiest cause that ever induced the sword to spring trom its scabbard—the most glorious that ever nobled fight. “ Then jet us welcome war, to brace Her droms and rend heaven's reeking space, ‘The colors planted face to face. The charging cheer, ‘Though death's pale horse lead on the chase, Will still be dear! Gentlemen, I go to Germany, Who follows? At the conclusion o7 this speech, the enthusiasm of the vast arsemblage was raised to the highest pitch, and burst forth in loud and lengthened shouts and cheers. Mr. Scureimer, o German soldier, who had served in ico, under Captain Mayne Reed, aud had lost bis Jeg in one of the Mexican battles, then came forward and bore testimony ina brief speech to the distin- guished merits of Captain Keed, and his gallant bear- ing on the field of batule. dir. S, concluded with aa Suimated appeal to his countrymen, to come forward, and join the hero of so many Mexican battles in march- ing to give help to their beloved Fatherland, Mr. Keven then addressed the meeting. and offered the following resolutions, of which the subjoined is a ‘translation :— Resolved, That the republiean stfuggle, in which Europe is now engaged, ought to ve viewed as a sacred and holy cause by the people of the United State ought and must be supported by every possible meaus, Kesolved, That it is the duty of our government to take energetic and effective measures, in view of the great struggle for liberty, now at its height in Italy, in Hungary. and in Southern Germany; and that the re- publican honor of the United States calls loudly for @ Suitable and lofty response to the proud manifesto is- sued by the Russian despot against the liberties of na ‘tions, Resolved, That we greatly honor, and will withall our power sustain and supyort the brave men, who antici- pate the act of our p zeal for the cause of liberty, and who are about to pro- ceed at their own expense to Germany, to shed their Dlood in t pat and hobie cause of human liberty.

The British Press and the British Aristo- cracy, on the Astor Place Massacre. One of the most interesting, at all events one of the most amusing, features of the English news brought by the last steamer, is that which is pre- sented to us in the comments of the London press on the massacre in Astor Place. At last, something good has, it appears, come out of Nazareth. The slaughter of twenty-five citizens of New York, and the maiming of fifty more and upwards, in order to avenge the wounded honor of an English play~ actor, has aroused the British press to a degree almost of Hibernian enthusiasm. John Bull tor once forgets his phlegmatic dignity. The United States is not so despicable, after all. We have at last obtained a name among the nations of the earth. The New York Massacre of the Tenth of May has done for us that which Thermopylae did for Gieece. We have now something to boast of, and London penny-a-liners must, hereafter, really acknowledge our claims to the highest distinction. The Mexican war was a wretched, miserable, in- significant, paltry affair. It was a cold-blooded, cowardly, atrocious, unprovoked assault on a few miserable devils, unable to make any resistance! Of course it was; for so said the truth-loving jour- nals of London. But the affair at Massacre Place— God forgive us! we mean Astor Place—was a grand, magnificent, heroic achievement, almost worthy of John Bull himself. We have at last found an Ame- rican General worthy of British endorsement. Taylor, Scott, Wool, and the whole precious bunch of them, are not to be named in the same day with the illustrious Major General Sanford, who encountered an enemy of twenty thousand, and wholly routed them with an army of one hundred men—killing twenty-five and wounding fifty more. Always ready to offer ho- mage to distinguished military skill and prowess, John Bull is in perfect ecstactes with the immortal General Sanford. He and his troops are lauded to the skies; and while Taylor and Scott are treated with appropriate contempt and disdain, the New Yerk hero—our hero—our Sanford—the same whom we have all seen, men, women and boys, again and again tempting fate in that perilous march from the Battery to the Park, and from the Park to Union Square—he, the renowned leader in the never-to-be-torgotten affair of the Tenth of May, is placed only a little lower than old Wel- lington himself! Doubtless we shall soon hear of the presentation of all sorts of ribbons, and orders, and decorations, to Sanford and his heroic staff and brave troops—the gifts of generous and dis- cerning John Bull! i Aguin—with what characteristic candor and good judgment have the London journalists sought for the real facts of this case, adopting the views and echoing the sentiments of those whose utter in- competency as reliable authorities in any matters appertaining to American aflairs or American so- ciety, is so thoroughly understood by us here upon the spot! Almost every fact in the case has been distorted by the writers in the Z'vnes, and other joumals. The whole wretched catastrophe grew out of the impertinent interference of a few indi- viduals, wanting in common sense, prudence and correct feeling, Who undertook to force an obnox- ious actor upon a certain portion of the play-going public, coupled with the folly, rashness and weak- ness of the authorities, who converted the thought- less and disorderly conduct of a few scores of boys into what they chose to consider a formidable riot. But the Times, true to its instincts, exaggerates this outbreak into an incident of surpassing gran- deur. It sneers at the Montreal mob and the burning of the Canadian houses of Parliament, but exhausts eulogium upon the glory and excellence of the Astor Place émeute and the smashing of a dozen windows. Nay, the revolutions on the con- tinent of Europe—the dethronement of Louis Philippe—the struggles of the Hungarians—the flight of the Pope—all, all are mere bagatelle, com- pared with the splendid action, the terrific revo- lution, the grand affair of the Tenth of May at Massacre Place ! The whole West End of the English metropolis, has, indeed, been thrown into a most agreeable flutter by this indication of American fame and the American name. Proud beauties in splendid draw- ing rooms, actually condescend to smile as they listen to the recital of that glorious slaughter.— Bloated lords and scrofulous lordlings do exhibit some signs of animation as they stammer forth the details of that heroic killing of twenty-five persons in Astor Place, New-York, and the wounding of fifty more, for the sake of two play-actors! The creatures have heard that there is an aristocracy in this obscure city, and the word sounds like music in their ears. They think there must be something in it; for the blood of human beings has been shed in its neighborhood, partly through its agency, and, at all events, without moving it to tears. The Weet End and Astor Place have therefore some- thing incommon. Why should not the aristocracy of the British metropolis, in these circumstances, convey to us some token of their approbation of the conduct of the authorities on the Tenth of May ? Prebubly, by the next steamer, we may hear of a great meeting at the West End, with the Duke of Dundethead in the chair, and a dozen gouty Mar- quises and Earls as vice-presidents and secretaries, passing resolutions expressive of their delight and satisfaction on account of these occurrences. Pray, why not ? Alas! alas! we may im very bitterness of heart ridicule the manner in which the British press and the British aristocracy have received the woful tidings of the scene at Astor place ; but we can- not abate one jot or tittle of the tragic interest of that direful business, In vain, too, does the Lon- don Times attempt to put a false gloss on the ratter. Tuking, in this as in all other instances in which it deals with republicanism, its facts, views and impressions from the wrong quarter, it makes the same mistake with regord to us that it does with regard to the French republic. In the temporary clogs and hindrances which, to some extent, impede the progress of democracy in France, he Times affects to behold the downfall of that republic, La the affaar at Astor place, it now feigns to discover the omens of terrible disaster to our political and social system. It is altogether mistaken in both cases. France will retam no more for ever to her rejected despotisms ; and our valiant city authorities, despite the compliments of the British press and the British aristocracy, must ere long meet the verdict of our people, at the polls next November. The American republic is now considered stable and permanent in England. General Sanford and the National Guards have finished the work begun by General Washington! Amencan stocks have risen, and will rise still higher, in London and Paris. Hurra! Arras in France—Enauisn ExXagorratian.— The tremendous excitement and uproar which the English papers assert occurred nthe French Na- tional Assembly, has been grossly exaggerated ; and, in fact, dwindles down to nothing at all, as soon as an unprejudiced person examines the sub- ject. ‘The English journals ere evidently alarmed at the new phase which European polities have as- sumed, and seem to dread the power which th republican party in the National Assembly will exercise. That party have a compact force of two hundred and fifty votes; and the relations of ’rance towards the rest of Europe, and especially the me- nacing attitude of France, will divert the attention of their number from every thing touching social- ism and the re-organization of society, to matters of a wider and more comprehensive nature. They will be occupied almost exclusively with the fo- reign relations of France, and never will, if they can prevent it, tolerate the Russians to overrun the republics of Europe. They will not only sym- pathize with the nations that are striving for liber- ty, but in case of Russian interference, aid and assist them by men, money, and arms. The moderate republicans in the Assembly are, and will continue, distracted among themselves, on minor questions ; but the radicals will control the action of the Assembly, and give a tone to the direction of public affairs throughout the whole European continent. If Louis Napoleon desires to make his administration popular, and to see France exercise its legitimate influence in that quarter of the world in the present crisis, he must sooner or later concentrate the radicals, and rely upon them for their support in the direction of the policy of the republic. We shall note carefully the proceedings of the new Assembly, and publish in the columns of the Herald every debate of interest that takes place in ite Custom Hovsz Movements.—We understand that Mr. Maxwell, the new Collector, has over four thousand applications for places in the Custom House, already before him. He has to read papers, documents and recommendations, to the number of twenty thousand, before he can deter- mine whom he shall appoint. Now, the num- ber of places in the Custom House does not amount to mote than a few over three hundred, the aggregate emoluments of which amount to about halfa million of dollars per annum—perhaps less. How, in such a dilemma, is the new Collector to satisfy all parties? We understand from the best authority, that not over sixty or eighty employées in the Custom House can be removed, with a due regard to the public business, for the first six months, and that over one hundred and fifty can- not be removed before two or three years. The Custom House is a great piece of machinery, and the transaction of public business there, requires a great deal of practical knowledge and skill to con- ductit progperously. Probably, therefore, three- fourths of the applicants before the Collector, are utterly unqualified, and would be unqualified for years to come, to perform the duties which they want to engage in. We suppose, however, that the first removals from the Custom House will be of those holding sinecures. Several lazy editors at- tached to the Sunday press, have been enjoying those sinecures, without doing any duty, for years past. They ought to be cut ofi, root and branch, at once. Some intimations are given in the newspapers, of cer- tain appointments already agreed upon by the Col- lector, and grumblings have already commenced. We understand, however, that nothing has been yet determined upon; but we have no doubt that, in less than one month from the inauguration of the new Collector, he will be execrated by the va- rious cliques of the whig party around town, as much as Gen. Taylor and his cabinet are by the chques of office holders who have been removed, and office-begrars who have been disappointed. The whole clamor and disturbance created through- out the country, have arisen from the office holders of the locofocos, and the disappointed office-beggars among the whigs. They are all of the same kid- ney, and ought to be put into a bag and shaken well together. A New Orgaxn—Jovrvarism iy Wasutneton.— Messrs. Bullitt and Sargent have engaged in a new enterprise in Washington, but on the same old and well trodden field. They have started a new journal, which they call the Republic, for the purpose of supporting the administration, explain- ing the views of General Taylor, interpreting the unknown intentions of the Cabinet, and probably of directing and organizing the various elements of the whig party throughout the country. This new paper is the fifth journal—the fifth candidate for public favor and patronage—which is published in that city of magnificent distances, counting a population of about twenty thousand. The task is mighty—almost equal to that of making a beau- tiful orange or flower garden, or a magnificent field of wheat, in the midst of a sandy desert. The democracy publish two organs in Washington— the Union and the Globe. The whigs have now there the Intelligencer, the Whig, and the Republic. Such a multiplicity of organs in one central city is sufficient to break down any party, and scatter it to the four winds of heaven. No matter what talent those gentlemen may bring to the new en- terprise, they must be supported with vast funds, in order to enable them to live for several years, and have measurable success ; but not alone that, for their suecess involves the death and burial of the Intelligencer and the Whig. It is utterly impos- sible for so many to live in such a narrow and limited place as Washfgton. No journal can attain popularity or endurance out of the great centres of population, of intelligence and wealth. No journal can attain a steady and cumulative influence over public opinion in any other quarter. Its influence will be too local. The journals of New York are now engaged in a steady movement to extend their influence, and to give them the widest popularity; and all attempts to make anything superior to them, even in Wash- ington, will amount to expenditures and efforts for no purpore. As matters now stand there, no news- paper can exist in Washington without receiving the wages of corruption from Congress, in the shape of jobs and gratuities. Superior Court. SPECIAL TERM.

Some uncharita- ble people think, and make no concealment of their opinion, that the cholera has been vastly exaggerated by certain gentlemen who cannot claim to be altogether disinterested in the matter, but fatten and thrive upon the panic. However this may bo, one thing is certain, and that is, that fall and explicit information has not been afforded to the public concerning the nature of this disease, particularly with regard to the mode of treatment that has been most successful, and the modes that bave resulted fatally—what the symptoms of the dieease are, and what a man ought to de when first at- tacked, and before # physician can be called in. For it is admitted on all bands that a prompt resistance to the destroyer at the beginning is half the battle. These are points upon which it is desirable the public had in- formation, and the sooner it is communicated from the proper quarter the better Surely New York is not so destitute of medical talent that @ scientific, compre. hensive and authoritative report could not be procured and published by the Board of Health. ‘The followin, table exhibits the number of cases and deaths reporte: for the lust week:— Cases, Deaths. 16 10 . . 24 12 . . at 19 . . 44 14 . . 38 16 June 15... . 27 4 June 16... tee 27 15 Total. ..eseeeseeee 212 100 ‘The returns of cures have been so imperfect and ir- regular that we cannot give a total of them for the week.

The Richmond, (Va,) Whig, of the 14th inst., says :— We regret to hear that the disease bag app red in some of the counties below, on York river, and in seme laces proved quite fatal’ People everywhere should be prudent in their diet, and not give way to fear. Next to the atmospheric influence, fear is said to be the strongest predisposing cnuse to the disease. There is no sense im getting alarmed—there is danger, to be sure; but so there is in a thunder stor nd fear aggravates. not diminishes, the danger. ‘The following is the report of the Board of Health of Buffalo city :— bn Burraxo, June 13, 1849. The Board report six new cases of cholera during the last 24 hours—no deaths. The Point Coupee. (La,) Echo, of the 2d instant, says:—The cholera has somewhat subsided in our parish ‘The cases of late occurrence on the Bayou Grosse Tete seem at length to yield to skilful and eare- ful treatment. a The Cincinnati Gazette, of the 12th inst., says:—The steamboat Ivanhoe arrived at this port from New Or- leans on Sunday, Sho was crowded with passengers, a majority of whem were emigrants. Twenty-five cases of cholera occurred on the passage, of whigh seventeen resulted fatally. The greatest number of deaths were among the deck passengers. The Boston Traveller, of the 15th inst., says:—The health of the city continues uxusually good, notwith- standing a few isolated cases of cholera have appeared amongst us, For the present week only 52 deaths have occurred, which is about twenty below tho average, and this is the more remarkable, as up to the Ist of June, the present year, there had been a continued increase of deaths, keeping pace with the increase of the popu- lation. Taking into consideration the large number of lately arrived foreigners withia our limits, the freedom from epidemic diseases here is remarkable. It may, however, be explained in part, by the extraordinary efforts that have lately been made to cleanse and purify the city. but more by the attention paid to diet by suc of our citizens as fear a visit of the cholera, Police Intetligence. A Poarding House Exposé.—Under this head, we pub- lished in Friday's Herald, a charge preferred by a Mr. Michael Hoyne against a Mr. N. F. Miller, Martha his wife, and a Miss Jane Struthers, alleging that certain anonymous obscene letters had been received by them, and that suspicion rested on Mr Miller and wife as being the authors, We inadvertently stated yerterday that the boarding house was kept by Mrs, Whitson, at No, 81 East Broadway We should have said Mrs. Horton, and the house situated at No 81 Henry street, instead of East Broadway. In this house Mrs. Whit. son resides, who is the mother of Mrs, Horton, she having been married, but does not live with her hus- band, Mr. and Mrs. Hoyne were likewise boarders, and like many of the fashionable boarding houses about town, a number of scandalous stories have been circu- luted’ touching the reputations of the lady boarders, and these reports, like many others, lost nothing by re- petition, but soon grew into quite a story, resulting in the sending of anonymous letters to Mrs. Hoyne and 0 ladies, in order Horton, of the vilest character. Thi to defend their reputation, have i seeution against Mr. Miller, Mr. Miller asserts he can easily refute, and for that pur- pore the case will undergo a thorough investiga- tion on next Tucaday before Justice Osborne.— whew many strange developements will be disclosed, showing up completely the manners and customs adopted by lady boarders in the fashionable boarding houses, the oyster suppers in Bayard street, the pic- nies, pastry. the soiree parties, the Castle Garden par- ties, and many other little funny ways and modes adopted in boarding houses, that will astonish the reader. The investigation will be one of considerable interest, as quite a number of highly respectable wit- nesses are notified (o attend. and eminent counsel on both sides are retained to fight the battle. A Desperate Attack of Cholera.—Y esterday morning the cholera hospital, situated at Monroe Hall, eorner of Centre and Pearl streets, was the scene of much con- fusion, and quite a number of persons had collected around the door on beholding the rumpus up stairs, It appears that Captain Magnus, of the 6th ward po- lice, aided by a poste of policemen, and headed by Dr. Buel, armed with the authority of the Mayor. through an order issued by the chief of police, made a despe- rate attaek on the second story of that large building, for the purpose of taking possession thereof, to convert the same into a cholera hospital Mr. Matthew Bren- nan, who already had rented the third story of that building for cholera hospitalfeases, strongly de- murred to the leasing of the second story for such pur- poses, as it was a valuable room to him, which he rent- vd out for balls and theatrical performances; and if taken for a hospital he felt assured that it would much ure his business during the winter season, The protests, however, of Mr. Brennan were all in vain, as the doctor determined to have the room—and in the name of the city, the policemen with axes broke the door open, and placed Dr. Buel in possession of the room, and a number of men were set to work to fix it up as a cholera hospital. Upon Mr. Brennan finding that his rights were thus dis- turbed by the police autborities, he laid bis case be- fore Justice Lothrop, who took his affidavits concern- ing the facta, and issued an order for the appearance of Captain Magnus, to show hy what authority he thus violently, and with force of arms, did wilfully break into the premises of Mr. Brennan, and t: oasession thereof, for the purpose of using the sameas @ cholera hospital, without the consent or knowledge of the complainant. Captain Magous showed, in his defence, the written authority of the Mayor, by the order of the Chiet of Police, and contended that under the law, | made and provided on such occasions, Chat the autho- rities had a perfect right to seize on any buildin, suitabie, for ruch purposes, and adopt the same, witl or without the permission of the owner, as the matter was merely for the public welfare and general good of the city. On this subject. there appeared to be a | difference of opinion in the court. Chancellor Stew- art remarked, that he was totally opposed to any in- | vasion on the citizen's rights, and doubted the law very much that would authorise the public aushorities to violently break into his private dwelling, aad turn the same into a receptacle of cholera patients, or sny other disease, although possibly they had the power — This last remark of the Chancellor led to considerable discussion, on both sides, when View Chancellor Welsh rose an that the police had created a breach by riotou-ly, and with malice ught, and violently, with axes and other dead. ly weapons, force, push. and break open the private door of Mix Brennan's room, without showing due process of law, Many other opinions were given, but of no consequence? The magistrate, who heard both sides of the argument, and being of rather a no- vel nature, the Justice reserved his decision until this forenoon, Captain Magnus intimated to the court, that should the decision be given against him, he shovd carry it to a higher court, situated at Jefferson market, where Justice sits alone supreme Charge of Embezzlement —Constable Joseph arrostod esterany @ young man by the name of Wm. Camp- ell, on & warrant ixsued by Justice Lothrop, wherein he stands charged with embezzling property from the foundry of Mr. A. W. Metcalf. No. 63 Centre street, to upwards of $1000.

There were as fow deaths from cholera in the Five Points as anywhere else. Now, it seemed never to enter into the heads of these seges, that there were other plague spots in the city as xbominable and unhealthy ; or, if they thought upon the subject, they made up their minds that so extensive a job ay the thorough cleansing of every street, lane. and alley, was entirely too treublesome. if not beyond their capacity. Long accustomed to filth, and to breathe impure air without any consequences palpable to their biunted senses, they did not see the ubsolute necessity of this sanitary reform, though their own health, and the health of their families, must have suffered. perhaps in some instauces futally. fom @ poisoned atmosphere. There was. indeed, a move- ment towards agencral removal of the gross filth of the city ; but some of the worst spots were cowpletely overlooked, while thore places that were subjected to the operations of the sweepers, were cleansed so imper- teetly that the work could not be said to be more than halfdone, In t. they remind us of what we raw a filthy German woman doing this week in Fourth street, In the fobtid. abominable stream that ran past her door, in the gutter. she washed a dish by way of making it very clean! Then. again. where there have been some efforts made to remove filth, we have seen ina day +r twothe whole lubor rendered vain by new deposits Within the last few days, there have been revewed exertions towards purification; but we venture to cay that next week, those places will be as filthy as ever, ‘The secret is not to make clean, but to keep clean, Now, we want to ask thedlauthorities whether the police on duty in those localities where filth is exposed are res- pouable or not for the nui-ances they connive at! Has the operation of the new chacter relieved them. too. from responsibility, as it is alleged it has relieved the Mayor? If the police are still authorised to take cognizance of such matters, (and if they are not, what are they paid for?) we can only say they are lamentably deficient in the diecharge of their duty. If they have not sufll- cient vigilance to detect in the act those who so openly and constantly violate the law under their very nose, surely the presence of the filth itself, if reported and sworn to, ought to be regarded as prima facie evidence against the occupant ot the hose before which it appears, and ensure his conviction, uxless he can show that it was not thrown by himself, his servants. or any member of bis family, or by any ether person with his knowledge or consent. The absurdity of summoning and punishing ignorant servant maids, while their masters and mistresses are allowed to go scot free, feems a mockery of justice as contemptible as it is cowardly. What! the police lack the courage to bring offenders to justice if they happen to be above the rank of a menial? We shall take occasion. from day to day. to point out the whereabouts of some of those plague spots of the city that are openly tolerated by the authorities, though engendering miasma, disease and death, ‘Tn: WeatHer —The weather for the last two days has been exceedingly hot and sultry. Yesterday, in particular. the atmosphere was very “close” and op- pressive, till about halt-past 5 o'clock, when delight. ful shower fell, and cooled the air, restoring its clas- ticity and bracing qualities. A rather unusual phe- nemenon was exhibited—a beautiful double rainbow gave token that the rain was not to last, but that to- morrow (to-day) nature, after her bath, would shine out fresh and fair. Farse Atans or Fi ‘There is a very reprohen- sible practice indulged in of giving false alarms of fire. On the day that the suger refinery of Harris & Co., in Duane street, was burned, there were two false alarms; and though we will not say that any firemen were the lees prompt that night when there was a true alarm, still the tendency is to dispirit and to dishearten these brave men, who, without fee or reward, rush to the res- cue of the property of their fellow citizens. ‘On Friday evening there was an alarm given of fire in the Fourt district, and the bells rang loud and long; but after the firemen running and sweating, it was found to be & cruel hoax. We would not wonder that, if these false alarms be too often repeated, they may become like the cry of “ wolf,” and when real danger is at hand. a deaf ear may be turned tothem. Sunmary punishment ought, therefore, to be inflicted on the miscreants who wil- fully give a false alarm; and every good citizen ought to use his utmort efforts to find them out; for the in- jury done is not so much to the firemen as to the com- munity itself. A complete drenching with the hose of one of the engines would be too lenient a chastisement. Sousing in a horse pond, or dragging through those black rivulets that meander so delightfully through our streets, would be a more fitting retribution for such rascality, Accirent,—On Friday, at 10 A. M., Michael McBride, a laborer, at work at a building at Washington Place, while standing on the side walk, was struck on the head with a brick that fell from the top of the build- ing, which fractured his skull.

Supreme Court—Special Term, Before Judge Jones. June 16 —The People at the Relation of Alderman Hat field vs. The Board of Aldermen, 4c —It appeared that the relator obtained a writ of prohibition to prohibii the Board of Aldermen, and a special committee o the Beard, from interfering or intermeddling in the late election return of the alderman of the Eleventk - ward. The aldermen obtained # conditional order tc supersede the prohibition, and the relator appeared te. day by his counsel to show cause agalnst it, Th relator's counsel contended for two propositions, first that the charter of 1830, which authorizes’ both Boards to judge of the qualifications of its members does not authorize them to judge of election returns that the werd qualification ovly means that they should try and indge of the fitness of the party returned, that | whether he was citizen, ot full age, aud whether he resided in the city twelve months before the elvo- tion ; secondly. that if the Legislature intended tc confer & judicial power on either or both Board would huve dene so by express words; the c! only \gave a negutive power, and the court woul take care that its own jurisdiction should not be ousted by implication, On the other side, it wa: contended that the Montgomery charter, whick penled. gave an exsress power to bott to judge of all the qualifiontions of their that the charter of 1830 not having epeated the Montgomery charter, the latter should by taken as an addition to the former, and in this view both the propositions ef the relator’s counsel were an’ swered It was also shown tha reries of years exerciaed a judicial power in annulling, and affirming election returns, and their authority” was never before questioned.
