AFFAIRS OF THE CITY AND VICINITY. The Astor Library 1n Lafayette Place. About three years and « half ago, tho eum of four hundred thousand dollars was left, by the late John Jacob Astor, for the purposo of establishing and building a public library in this city. Ho appointed the Mayor of the city of New York ead the Chaa- Sellor of the State (for the time being), Washington irving, William B. Astor, Daniel Lord, Je., James -G, King, Josoph G. Cogswell, Hoary Brevoort, Jr, Semuel Ward, Charles Bristed, Samuol BRuggles, and Fitz Greene Halleck his trustees for oarrying ‘the object into effect. These gentlemen accord ingly held a meeting on the twentieth of May, 1317, and accepted their trust, and uoasnimously ap- pointed Joseph G. Cogswell to be superintendent ofthe library. Tho bequest was to be applied as follows :—Seventy- five thousand dollars for tho ereo- tion of the building, one huadred aud twenty thou- gand dollars for the purchase of books and raro manuscripts, and the surp!us—two hundred and five thousand dollars, after paying for the site~to bo invested as a fund for the support and increase of the library. In the month of September, 1843, tho trustees de- cided upon the preseat site, ason> inevery way, adapted for tho purpose, affording, from its situa- tion—that remoteness from the publio thorough- fare so necessary to seoure quictacss during the time of study. In the following month the super- intendent, Dr. Cogswell, was appointed by his fel- low trustees to proseed to Europe, and purcaase, at his discretion, books to the amount of twenty thou- Sand dollars. He ascordiagly wont, and the result has been most satisfactory, his purchases having been selected with care and discration, and obteiac at low rates, consequent on the disturbed political condition of Europe in the year 1943, and tho re duction of prices attendant thereon. The plans for the building were executed by Mr. Saeltzor, the eminent architect, and wero immediately acted upon. The following description will b ¢ read with inte- rest:— The building is eo nstructed after the style of th Byzantine school of architecture. The first story and part of the second are bailt of browa stono, tho columns, architraves of wiudows, the cornice, para- pet and the ornamental work are of the same mate- rial. The height of the front of the building, from the level of the side waik up to the top line of the parapet, is sixty-eoven feot and a half; the length one hundred and twenty-five feet, and breadth sixty- five feet. The ascent to the entrance will be, by aix stone steps to & brown stone platform iato the front vestibule, ornamented on either side by a stone sphynx, from thence to a flight of thirty-two marble steps, eight feet in breadth, leading to the Library Hall floor; upon approachiog the summit of theee steps, the visiter finds himself near the centre of an immense alcove, encirled by fourteen piers formed of brick, plastered and finished to resemble white marble, and supporting galleries of iron, midway between the floor and the ceiling. The side walls form a continued row of shelving and book cases, estimated to cost twelve thousand five hundred dollars, and capable of containiag one hundred thousand volumes. They aro reached by means of the main fallery, in connection with which are four iron spiral stairways, and an intervening gallery of a lighter and smalier description, con- nected by eight staircases with the mala allery. The whole ure arranged and appropriately orna- mented in a style corresponding with the architec- ture of the building. Trove the floor of the main ball, at an elevation of fifty two feet, is the princi. pal skylight, fifty-four feet long, and fourteen feet broad, formed of thick glass, iniron. Besides these there are circular side skylights of smaller dimensions. All needful light is furnished by these, and by the windows in the front and rear walls. ‘Thorough ventilation has been secured by iron fretwork in suitable portions ofthe ceiling. Inthe extreme rear are the two rooms for the librarian, to which access is had by aneans of the main galleries. The first floor contains reading and lecturo rooms, with corridors and ves- tibules communicating, and will accommodate fire rundred persons. The latter are on cach side cfthe building, ond speed from the library hall stairway at the front entrance by two corridors, jeading to the rear vestibule, and thence to the lee- cure room, still further in the rear. The basement story is arched with coin arches, so as to render them fireproof, and contains the keep ors’ rooms, cellars, coal vaults, air furnaces, &o. The whole building will be lighted by five hun- dred gas lights, and is the first, ef such considerable extent, that has ever been called at once into e: istence. That of Gottingen, the nearest parallel, was founded more than a century ago, when the whole number of printed books was less than half the nt num der. ‘The library will be arranged after the most ap- proved European system, and should it equal that cf Gottingen in comple:eness and excellence, it will bo a credit to the new world City Intelligen An Imroston —The residents in the vicinity of Stanto: and Forsyth street: e lately received calls from as arrant an impostor bves. The individual referred to js aman rather under the ordinary height. of respect- able > and about thirty-five or forty years of 10. er day be went to the shop of a grocer, ia wing in bis hand a letttee addressed lace. As soon as he recognized » him in @ most sorrowfal man- ner, saying, “I was about to leave this letter for you if ov had been out, but as you are at home, I will make its coptents to you; the fact is, lam in want—my wife is dead, but not buried, and I La 9 i bye a necessary to pay her funeral expenses; I have been to! that you are pad benevolent, and hence I seek your aid.” With what success he met, we did not learn; but leavin the Frocer he went to @dwelling house near by, an raid he had been sent there by the grocer. He then re- @oated his etory about bis wife's death, told the lady of the house that be had heard of many benevolent acts pipet by her, and was therefore the more confident in addressing her. The lady was about to give him something, but on examining her purse, she found that is contained ouly a fea shillings smaler ammount than she desired to give him She told him to come in the evening, ard she would hand bim something; this, he said, he eculd not do. as he must bury his wife that very afterncon. Going to the next house, he said he had deca sent there by the lady whom he last visited; here, again, Le told his pitiful story, and went away somewhat richer than he was when he t in. Going from house to house, he drove « thriving business, and it was not till some days after wards that the ladies kuew that they had deen imposed opon. He always calls hie victim ! name. which he learns either from the door plate, or ia som: other way. The fellow is worthy of the stocks.

Verdict recordingiy. Catted States Cireutt Court. Hefore Hon. Judge Nelson, Stet. S5— The Sioop J.C. Gregg. Steamboat Post —This was an appeal from che United dates District Court, in a case of collision, The libel states that the sloop J. Gregg, in 1844, was run into, off pier No. 2, by ‘be steamboat Post Boy, having the bark Clarissa in tow, end that the collision was the fault of the steamer, The dam were laid at $600. The answer of the owner of the Boy, states that the sloop undertook to crosa the steamer’s bow, by a sudden sheer in share, and that the collirion resulted from this act of the sloop. The Judge of the District Court, after hearing Mr. Wheeler, for the libeilept, and Q. Morton and Wm Haskett, Keys, for the owners of the steamer, decided against the slocp, avd dismissed the libel with costs, From this decree, the cause came upon appeal The librilaat, b; his counsel, Mr Parsons, presented his case on the evi- dence in the court below, and fought # new decision on the facts. The owners of the steamer appeared by Mr. Morton and Mr. Harkett, and examined one witness, and the libellant’s proctor proceeded to argue the cause. Judge Nelson remarked that the claimant's counsel need not reply; that he could see nothing in the case for the setion of the Canrt, as it was ao invariable rule of the Appellate Court to receive the facts from the Court be- Jow; and in (be absence of any Dew proofs, the Court woul’l consider a)! diecrepencies and epparent contradictions to Lave been thorough analyzed »y the District Judge, be- fore his decision, To entitle a ease to n fal! review upon the testimony taken in the Ocurt below, there muat be qiering and manifest error upon the face of the testi y.

JUD@E INGRAHAM. Bert. 26.—Jas. W, Barker vs Jacob W. Dillon.—This mo- eg as bo waaahs an order Oc prsest, upen which the de- fendant was arrested in March 1850. Since that time bail Sepp ce] . ave been sued, snd after such sult the defendant has been tur, rendered by his aud is now in custody. I am olearly of the defendant Payne ts too late in tien. ae code, the motion may be made at Angina before the bail justify. This was the rule under the old tice; but it mever was supposed to mean that it Pould be taade after the bail woe and no justi- fication necersary. Then, as now, I understand the rule to meam that the motion may be made at any time bef: the tecurity whieh the ball furaised ty accepted by the intift, by omitting to except. or by a j ica on But the other view aa correct, still, . by his loug acquivacence in the order of arrest, is too ate to take the ‘motion, He hee deleyed eighteen months—sutfered judgment to be obtained, and his bail to be sued, and then surrendered bimself on discharge of bail. Ieannot imagine a case in whieh ba arene in @ proceeding van more fully thown, It is harcly neeessary to add, that if the letters produced by the plaintiff were written by the defendant, there ig no ground for asking to an the order dis- rounds 8 . uw to usa Teerite of the motion, ey George Johnson ve, J. D. Wilson and John Tanner.—Mo- — granted, unlers defendants pay the costs and counsel James Harrison, Gearge Harrison, Suydam, Jun., Almot Reed, and Daniel K. ive vs. Isaac Newton, Daniel Drew, and Seth Kelly —Ia this case the defendants were restrained by # temporary injunction from finishing a wooden building in the course of erection on the butk- head between Cortlandt avd Liberty streets. [: is stated by the defendants that this pepe {s completed exter. nally, sempling a palis ofone end, and hanging the doots, &e. This is not denied on tem of the piain- tiffs. Upon the argoment of this motion to make such —_— perpetual, it occurred to me that there was reason why the defendants should be enjoined from completing the ng; thet all the iojury the ntiffs could sustain from its erection, would be sustained by them from ite present condition, as fully as if the building was entirely completed; while, om the other band, to continue the injunction, would cause loss and injury to the defendants Unger such a view of the case, there could be no propriety in prosecuting the completion of the building in its pre- sentform, Subsequent reilection hae strengthened tbe opinion I expre sted on the argument. If it was clearly a nuisance, created without the semblance of right or if ite use would be productive of injury to the plaintiffs, it would be proper to examine the other questions in- volved in this motion But where such is acceded not to be the case, and the only benefit to result feom the in- jucetion would be to deprive the defendants, in the meantime, of the butlding, I cannot see any propriety in ite coatinuance. In “ Osborne vs. Taylor’? (5, psge 615) the Chaneclior says: “A preliminary injunction should not be granted, unlees it is necessary to protect some right or interest of the complainant, which may be injured, impaired, or endangered by the proceedings of the defendant in the meantime, as it frequently turns out, vpon the hearing, that the sole object was to cm- berrass the defendant's proceedings, and thus compel a compromise.” Where it is apparent that no such effects can be produced as will, in any way, cause injury to the plaintiffs from refusing the injunction, it ought pot to be continued © * * here there is so much doubt upon the merits of the controversy, and no injury can result to the plaintiffs from denying the motion; and where the public accommodation is to some extent in volved, my opinion is that this motion should be denied, Motion deniea, and the temporary injunction dis solved; defendant's costs, $10, to abide the event. Wm. Currie and Jas.Currie ads. Edward C. Weeks --This was @ motion to vacate order of arrest, on the ground that it was inproridenity granted, and should be vacated. It appears that Weeks had, on the 224 of August, cnshed a check for Currie & Corrie, on the Metropolitan Bank, for the sum of $2,200, without notic- ing the date. On presenting the cheak it appeared that it was antedated one day, and payment refused. Next day it was discovered that Currie & Co had stopped payment, and an order was obtained by Weeks for their oriert. This motion to yecate the order was denied. Supreme Court—Circult. Before Hon. Judge King Bret, 26—Lianu. or Common Uaneress.-Levi Fow- ler vs. Joshua Moxweil and Charles Parsons—3Mr. H. H. Stuart, on behaif of the plaintiff in this case, complains that, on the 16th October, 1849, the defendants, being common carriers between New York and Port Stanley. in Cenuda West, agreed to convey $600 worth of goods for him between New York and Albany, and thence to be trapsmitted to Pcrt Stavley and delivered to the plaintiff. It is alleged that the defendants failed to form the contract, that the goods were never delivered; and the plaintiff now seeks for damages tothe amount of the value of the goods. The defence is, that the goods were lost in a storm, on lake Ontario, by the act of God, for which a common catrier is not responsible. The court charged that the defendants were bound to send the goods by the most direct route; that Lake Ontario was not the most direct, and that defendants were there- tore liable for the dangers that ensued from their de- viating from that course. Verdict for plaintiff $577 00 Marine Court. Before Hon. Judge Lynch, Seer. 25.—Kathrine Bacaguloppe, Adiinistratrix, vs. John Gonecchio —The ie : this a is en ridow and edmizistratrix of John Bacaguloppe. It appears that her bueband was an itinerant Italian musician, and that be left this city for Providence, in July, 1850, on a professional tour. He there stopped at a house kept by a person named Foster, where he was taken ill; and on sending to a druggist for cream of tartar, ho got tartar emetic, which caused his death in a short time. Pre- vious to his death, he requested that the defendant, who was bis friend, should be communicated with by tele- graph. Mr. Gonoechio arrived, and was present at Buca- guloppe’s death; and it i contended by Messrs H. ¥. Clark and Rappello, for the plaintiff, who produced seve- ral witnesses to prove their cave, that the defendant took from (he person of the deceased a leat hor belt, containing a Ugo of money in gold, anda guild medal, bearing the eruetix and Virgin Mary, all supposed to be at least three-quarters of a pound in weight. For the defence, it is contended, by Messrs. G. Clark and Newhouse. that the belt only contained six dollars, which he tendered to the plaintiif, and that the deceased could not bave bad more about him, as he was obliged to borrow money to pay bis fare to Fail River, The jury rendered # verdict fer the plaintit, for $100.

Dr. Kennedy then addressed the auditory, con- gratulating them upon the prospect this city presented Wo their gage, studded as it waa with Christian temples, and comparing the feelings excited by such a view to these which oppressed the apostle st. Paul, when, in his carly imiseion, toiling up Mars’ Iill, he cast his eyes over Atbers, with ite magmficent structures, totally given ap to idolatry. Here, as the city extended its boundary, snd as the population augmented, churches sprung up {on proportion to their increasing wants, where they might fearlessly worship the ever trae and living God, end say, with the psalmict, 0 Lord, L have loved the habitation of & houre and the place where thy honor dweileth.”” Their attendance was an evidence that they did love the house of Ged; but he wanted them to show their fervency by the assistance that they gave for ite erection.
