Foster, ge, one of the financiers in Wall sireet. The evidenee brought out on this trial has afforded @ umber of curious additional facts and interesting incidents in the great bateh of stool-pigeon mysteries whic’ H have agitated the fashionable world about the Toinbs for the last few months. We donot wish to say much in the present stage of the trial ia re- ference to the charges against Artington Bennet. Although the evidence thus faris generally admitted to be weak and inefficien: ina very extraordinary degree, yet the trial displays and develops several | curious and very rich placers in the stool-pigeon mysteries which have agitated the world about the Tombe for the last six or nine mouths. When the trial is completed, one way or the other, we shall be better enabled to give an opinion on several dis- tinguished characters in connection with these trials, who have been figuring in these affairs for some time past, in our curious and original com- munity. We have known the general history of criminal jurisprudence in New York for nearly the last quarter of a century, but have seen nothing to equal these curious stool-pigeon developements now coming out. One of the most original minds in the stool-pigeon business, during the period we have known New York, w celebrated Dill Wil who was caught in some of these mysteries, tried, convicted, and, but for his early death, would have been sentenced to the State prison, there to study mathematics, music, or mysteries of any kind.

In fact, it appears there has been projected during the last two years a system of pendent police, the persons concerned in which speculation have ac- tually thought that they possersed the full criminal authority of the city, and tat the regular police were only trenching on their peculiar ground when they attempted to catch any of their rascals, or take up any of their favorite and petted criminals. | Bit by bit, and step by step, this vast confederacy of crime is developing itself. Bill Wiley after Bill Wiley comes out in quick succession daring the testimony on these triuls.2 The result of all will be, that the administration cf criminal justice, from top to bottom, will be developed, investigated, re- novated and purged from its impurities and follies, and owr courts and juries and police will start here- after on a new tack, better adupted to the equal ad- ministration of justice for real criminals, without manufacturing blockheads and simpletons’ into for- gers and murderers, in order to cover or exculpate the real rascals who dodge behind. unas | Tr Gainwete Ancric Exranirion —The Advanecand | Rescue will sail at 10 o'clock this moraing. i Democratic Convention at Tammany Hall.

Your word is sufficient. lam glad the poison is extracted; and I trust that forgetting all former sources of dissension, all personal piques and jealousies, the democracy will unite toge ther like one man, (Loud cbeering.) Mr. Ketty, of the Sixteenth ward, said he endorsed thove sentiments. The eastle of the democracy ought to be one and indivisible, PHCCaptain Ryxveus raid he thought there ought to be alittle charity, It must be recollected there was very bad fecling between the twe commitices and their Backers, and when they came together, for the tirst time, it could not be wondered at if a little of the feeling still remained. It was only human nature that it rhould break out. The rough edge had been taken off the blade to-night, and he had no doubt the blade would cut rmoeth in future. Let them, then, have a little charity, and“ bear one with another,” to use @ scriptural phrase. (Roars of laughter.) The resolution was then aite: as follows : That the call be published in the democratic papers of the county, and in the Herald and Sun, In this form it was carrie? unanimously, one deje- gate crying out to put it in the Globe, and another de- Claring that the Evening Post was no democratic paper. ‘The mecting adjourned at 11 o'clock, to Wednesday next, at 8 o'clock, !
