AFFAIRS IN NEW YORK CITY. City Intelligence. Ranpari's Iscanp Bors.—Yesierday, about sixty boys, from Randall's Island, who received the reward of ‘“me- rit’ from the Public School Sovisty, paid a visit to the elty, under charge of their superintendant, Mr. Ripley. After seeing the procession, they called on Simeon Dra- per, Beq., president, and the governors, and, by invita- tion from the manager, visited the American Muscum. After enjoying themselves here for sometime in viewing the wonderful curiosities of this establishment, they went through their exercises, and proceeded to the Astor House fer tho purpose of making their acknowledge- mentsto Messrs. Steteon & Coleman, (the proprietors), for the many favors bestowed on them by ‘thiowe gentle- men. the holydays, and on several other occasions. this aro establishment, those kind- hearted gentlemen ordered quite a feast to be set be- fore¢hem, which, baling much to their taste, the boys did ample justice to. This agreeable time being over, one of the number, named Thomas James, sbout eleven years of age, addressed their kind hosts in a neat speech, which was responded to in a feeling and appropriate manner. They then gave nine cheers for the Astor House, and proceeded to the Governor's office, where they wore kindly received and entertained by Mr. Kel- lock, who sent them home by the Harlem cars, in high . and rejoicing in the pleasure and happiness they en- day. These boys wore their holiday handsome appearance. Their ex- and marching were highly applauded—the latter, we must say, was quite a /a militaire. Farat Raitnoap Accipext.—The namo of the unfor- tunate man, who died on Monday afternoon, about 3 o'clock, from injuries received by being struck on the head and side by the frame of the New Haven locomotive at Fordham, while crossing the platform, is Edward Brady, twenty-one years of age.anda native of Ireland. He bad gone fromi Manhattanville to Fordham, where he was employed by Mr. G. B. Butler. On Wednesday, Coroner Lawrence held an inquest on the body,and the jury returned the following verdict: That the deceased came to his death from injuries received by being struck by the locomotive of the New Haven train, as he was crossing the railroad track, on leaving the cars of the Harlem Railroad Company at the Fordham station, and that the cause of his death is mainly attributable to the unwarraniable high «peed and reck! im which the station was passed, and that the } en Company is highly ccnsuruble for not better regulating the various stations on the roa ail the accidents th owing to this neglect. Fine.—About eleven o'clock on Wednesday morning, the attic of house No. 549 Grand street, was discovered to be om fire, which was soon extinguished, with trifling damage. Snock:xe Orurity.—A small girl named Mary Dolton, was found by officer Holts on Wednesday evening.

It appears that the thief must have effected an entrance by the means of false keys. No ar- rests have been made. Acciext.—Thursday afternoon, a young man by the name of Max Beverley, while driving & spirited horse in Broadway, was thrown from his wagon and severely in- jured. Mo was carried into a drug store and properly taken care of.

Benth oi ne through an ter, being a Frenchman, proved he waar eeuvuae the store, and arrested the defendant inthe act, with the property in bis possession, Sentence, two years imprisonment. Another Case.—W liam Winters, alias Lee, and John Sembler, two respectable looking young men, were jointly indicted for a similar offence at the store or warehouse of Edward Warberg. importer of rilk, &c., 55 Broad street. Caspar Huber, # porter in Mr. Warberg’s employment, deposed that the prisoners entered the premises on the morning of the 10th of March, and commenced pricing several pieces of goods; he could give them no informa- tion, and ‘them to sit down and wait; but they continued to walk about, and at length his attention was drawn to “a protuberanee’’ under Sembler’s coat, where- .) he opened it, and direovered a piece of silk, which Mr. Warberg now identified as his property, containi seventy-eight yards, and valued at eighty cents per yard. ‘On his the diseovery, the more powerful prisoner (Winters) made an attack on him, knocking him down, snd olosing his eye by the blow. - Ex-Recorder Tallmadge appeared for the prisoner Winters, and called Mr. Bherrurd. his employer, who gave him a respectable character, Rufus Lee deposed that he was his bro- ther; Lee was his right name; he was a native of Bal- timore. and for two years past had resided with him om: be had hever known him to be in any iffculty, or heard anything against his character, The Witness was cross-exammed by the District Attorney, and Stated that he did know the Ocean House in Church street (Fifth ward), but did not know ft as a resort of tbieves; bad never been there with his brother, but went after his arrest to tee # man named Gale, who, he under- stood, was willing to go bail for the prisoners, and that he afterwards did procures Mr. Dean to be bail for both of them, and gave him fifty dollars for doing #0; the magis- trate bad refused to take witness bimeelf. us he did not hold real estate. Mr. Tallmadge eubmitted there was no evidence against Winters; but the District Attorney sum- J up, and contended they were clearly associated in the mission of the felony, The jury, after a very short mevltation, returned a yerdict of guilly against both prisoners.

They abstracted his pocket-book, containing $35, all in Dills—two in fives, and the rest in smaller biils, He never saw the persons’ faces at all while they were robbing him; he saw one of them running away, (the one who had hold of him by the arm.) within about twenty feet, and who was dressed like the prisoner. He gave a description of them to the Police, who in consequence arrested Manning. Michael ba an officer ofthe Fourth ward, deposed. he had heard of the robbery, and at an early hour he arrested the defendant at Pearsall’s portor house, where he was asleep; he suspected him, knowing that he had lately returned from New Orleans; when ho arrested him, he asked him for the nine dollars he had in his watch fob; when prisoner said, “How do you know I have nine dollurs ?”’ Witness said he knew all, and took him to the station house, where the man Flynn identi- fied him; he gave upthe nine dollars, and said he had brought it with him from New Orleans; wiiness con- cluded by stating he knew the other two who had cleared out. one for Albany, Mr. A. A. Phillips (for prisoner.)—I say you do not know all about it. Witness—I know who was there when they divided the money. ( mughter.) Phi (Ruled Me lips——Were you there ? rn Witness continued--The money was in $1 and $2 bills. The sailor could not identify it. Mr. Phillips asked whether the District Attorney would | press for a conviction. and the latter saidsit was a mere question of identity, The Court charged the jury. that the prosecutor uot being able to identify the prisoner. and the charge being one of go serious a nature, perhaps they Were not warranted in convicting. A verdict of not guilty was accordingly returned, and the Court ad- vised the prisoner to make tracks from New York imme- diately, which he very cheerfully consented to do. On the application of the District Attorney, the money was ordered to be given up to the prosecutor. Extensive Burglary—Singular Evidence by the Police.— Augustus Nicholls, an old offender, and a former inmate of the State prison, indicted with Mary Stanley. was charged with burglary. The District Attorney opened the case. He stated that an extensive burglary had been committced on the night of the 25th February last, at the store of Mr, Pringle,*a tailor and mercer, at 617 Hudson street. It was evidently perpetrated by a master hand, and about $000 worth of property had been stolen, Officer Scott had scen the prisoner and Mrs, Stanley coming slong on the same night, bearing some broad- cloth and other props across the Sixth avenues. His suspicion being excited, he attempted to arrest them, but | the man struck him with a slung shot or ‘billy.’ and | succeeded in getting a . leaving the fomale and broad- cloth behind, Mr, Pringle was first called, but Mr. A. A. Phillips did not dispute the fact of the burglary, and tho goods being the property of the witness, Officer James Scott, of the Twentieth ward. was then called, and he proved the case, as stated for the prosecution, in more detail, and produced the “billy.” which was found near the | spot. aud with which he bi ed he had been struck, but not so as tomake him insensible. This instrument was about twelve inches long, one third of it being formed of lead, something in the form of a druggist's pestle, and ka with « leather thong at the haft-end, like a police club. Mr. Phillips cross-examined the witness, and asked him whether he had not at the station house, on the night of the burglary. described the man who struck him as one six feet high. and totally different from defendant. The witness after much questioning said, in explanation, that when Nicholls was arrested he came to the station house and found him sitting behind the desk with the captain; that he thought that was not a proper place for him; and he alsothought they were inclined against him (witness) and in favor of the prisoner; and he gave a prevaricating answer purposely, as that he might be bigger. &0.; but before the magistrate he was positive, and did not hesitate Re-examined—Was quite positive now; knew the priso- ner well by sight. seeing him frequently in the Eighth avenue. The prosecution rested for the present. Officer Dunn was catled for the defence, and deposed that the description given on the night of the occurrence, by Scott, did not agree with that of the prisoner. On his cross-examination, the District Atterney produced a let- ter, which had come mysteriously into his possession, en- closed in an anonymous one, and, as alleged, containing some valuable information on this and criminal matters, | He ssked witness whether he had ever scen it before, and he answered yes. Q.—Where did you receiveit? A—¥rom Officer Savage. Q~——Do you know Levi Cole? A.—Yes, Q.—Do you know who wrote that? A.—Yes, Q.—When did you'see it? _A.—About six days ago; it was found, I believe. in Ninth avenue, by officer Gilroy. Q.—Do you know George Stanley, the hueband of Mrs. Stanley?” A. —Yes; he isa man about five fect six inches, ofa sandy complexion, and reddish whiskers. Q.—Do you know Marcus Cicero Stanley? A.—No, sir. Q.—Did you ex- hibit that letter to any onel A.—I understood Stanley wanted it. and I said he had better come to me; I saw Counsellor Phillips, who recommended me to keep it. Q. —Do you know this writing? [Anonymous letter in which it was enclosed ibownt, A.—No. Mr. Phillips would not object to the letter being read ; but the District Attorney declined, as it was not in evidence, and the contents did not transpire. Officers Seaman and Underhill were afterwards called to cor- roborate Dumn. This they did. but admitted they had known Nicholls for ten years, and never knew him in any employment, aud they suspected him at first knowing he was connected with Stanle ir. Blunt called some to rebut. but without much avail; and in summing up he commented strongly on the conduct of the police in endeavoring to swear down the direct testimoney of Scott, and when a document came to their possession, five or six days ago, which might prove of value, they had not communicated with the public prosecutor, and it had only reached him in an anonymous manner. The Court having charged the Jury on the only peint in issue. that of identity. they, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty. Sentence deferr d. Though the burglary was an extensive one, the premises entered being cnly a store, the prisoner is indicted in the third degree. “Finother Old Offender —Charles Waverley, alias Hugh Casey, who, though but nineteen, has already served one term in the State prison, was convicted of having, on the 31st March. broken the window of Mr. James Rogers’ Jemelry store, 999 Hudson strect, and stolen some rings, watch chains, &c, The Grand Jury directed a bill for petit larceny only. but being laid aa the second offence, and a former conviction for grand larceny on the 23d Tune, 1849. having been proved, his present conviction is equivalent to one for grand larceny. Sentence deferred. ‘More of the Rising Generation Perverse Jury.—An- drew Walsh, James Wilson, John Anderson, Robert Pyne, and William Kavanagh. were placed at the bar, charged with burglary. The prisoners, who were all in their teens, had been indicted, with three others of their own age. for breaking into the store of Phillip Hyne, cor- ner of Sixth street and Second avenue, and stealing a tity,of segars and some chocolate, The prisoner (An- dercon) had. by his own statement. acknowledged his guilt; but the only evidence against the others was that of anaccomplice, (one of the three before mentioned.) The District Attorney did not therefore press the case against them, and the Court charged that with the ex- ception of Anderson’s own confession, there was no evi- dence they could rely on. The jury retired, and in a few minutes returned with a general verdict of not guilty. Judge Beebe.—Do you include Anderson? The jury must pass upon bis case too. A Juror.—I willexplain. We would rather not inslude him—but we understood the evidence of accomplice was not to be taken against the others ; and we did not think it was fair to take a confession against himself. Judge Beebe —The Court charged you clearly enough upon that. The confession of a party is always conclu- sive against himself, Is that your verdict? (It had in the meantime been recorded. ) Juror. —'Tis the one we have agreed upon. Judge.—We can only ray it is a very singular one, The prisoners were remanded to answer another in- dictment against them. And the Court ndjourned. ig A—No. oO Police Intelligence. Escope of a Counterfeiter from the Fifth Ward Station House.—In yesterday's HexaLp, we noticed the arrest of a man named James Howe, charged with attempting to sa counterfeit $10 bill on the Bank of Farmington, jass,, at a store in Canal street, and his detention at the Fifth ward police station house, awaiting an exainination. The prisoner, on Wednesday evening, was not confined in acell, but permitted to parade about the station house ona kind of parole d'honneur. The officer having him in charge was jnduced by the prisoner to leave the house for the purpose of purchasing some fried oysters for his sup- per; but to the surprise of the officer, on his return he found the station house in a ‘stew,” as the prisoner during the officer's absence. broken his faith, and made good his escape by sealing the fence in the rear, which led to an alley, thereby giving the prisoner accesa tothestreet. The prisoner was to have been examined to-day, before the magistrate, but as hie whereabouts at Present isnot exactly known, they havy tocateh him first efore his examination takes place. The $420 left behind by the prisoner. in the hands of the police, will probably be claimed on & power of attorney. deducting, of course, $100 paid counrel to take care of his defence. California Ticket Case—In the matter pending against George E. Hamilton. charged before Justice Osborn with selling fraudulent tickets to passengers for California, was brought up yesterday sfternoon on a hearing; the witness M’Grath was cross-examined by counsel for the defence, who fuiled to identify Hamilton as the person who sold him the ticket, but eaid he saw Hamilton in and about the office after he had purchased the ticket. A question here aroee by counsel forthe defence, as to how Hamilton could be made amenable to the law of false pretences, The counsel contended that the case pre- sented, in substamce, was in similitude to the transaction of a promissory note: a man gives his promiasory note for the purchase of goods, thereby promising to pay & maturit: and does not; that is no false pre- tence, this ease Hamilton & Co, held out promises that the ship Reindeer would rail on certain day, but, in consequence of some unforseen diff- culties, it 18 found impossible to put the vessel to sea on that day. Surely that cannot be construed into a false pretence, in the meaning of the statute. This question of law was propounded to the magistrate, and remains under advisement until this day at two o'clock, when the Justice will give a decision, to which hour the case stands adjourn Suspicion of Burglery.—Officers Hogan and Radford, of the Chief's office, arrested, on Wednesday afternoon, five oung men, named George Relandt, Francis Smith, James W ileon.

In 1851, under the Ten Governors, the sum of $418,527 13 was drawn from the Comp- troller for the support of tho same institutions, which shows a saving to the. city of $54,447 87 in the support of these institutions under charge of the Governors.

Week after week we have one or two of the fine old English comedies, and searcely a week pastes that he does not produce some of the newest features of the London stage. This evening, a new piece, never acted here, and now playing in London with the greatest success, called ‘Our Clerks,”’ will be presented for the amusement of his patrons. The cast is excellent. The other piece is the “New Connubial Bliss Aseociations.”’ Nationat THeatre.—The entertainments of this eve- ming are forthe benefit of Mr. Blanchard, when a bill ot great variety will be offered for the delight of his friends and patrons.

Avnit 22.—Convietion for Passing Spurious Coin—A man and his wife, named Thomas and Elizabeth Norton, were put on trial, on an indictment for paasing, on the 9th of March last. two counterfeit quarter dollars, The wit- ness, William Chambers, grocer, testified that the woman offered to pass a spurious quarter dollar on him, in pay- ment for some trifling article purchased; she was inform- ed it was bad, and she then left the store and joined hor husband in the street, and again proceeded to another store, and passed anether quarter dollar of the same des- cription, ir, Chambers . ores and inte ut arrested on the charge. ¢ jury fow ew guilty, and the Court remanded them back to prison for COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS, errr MONEY MARKE?. Tavmepar, April 22—6 P, M. A large business was transacted to day in railroad bonds, and prices at the close were better than at the opening. Erie Convertibles opened st 953¢, and closed at 96. Fancy stocks were not s0 buoyant, but we notice about the usual activity. At the first board, Norwich and Worcester de- clined 44 per cent ; Stonington, 1; Reading Railroad, 3; Harlem, 44; Canton Co, 4; N. J. Zine, 3; Erie In- come, }. Harlem Ex. bonds advanced 3 per cent.; Mor- ris Canal, 34; Phenix Mining Co., {, cash, and % on time. There appeared to be no anxiety among holders to acli at this advance. There was an active demand for Ni- caragua Transit, but no transactions. Asking prices were | considerably above those current yesterday. We notice a small sale of Panama Railroad stock, at an advanoe of 4 | percont on last sales. There is very little doubt but that’ the stock representing the different companies having works connecting the Atlantic with the Pacific ocean, will ultimately command handsome premiums and prove pro- ductive investments, At the second board the market was rather quiet. Phoenix Mining Company sold at prices cur- rent inthe morning; Erle Railroad at yesterday's prices— there having been no transactions at the first board. Can- ton Co. declined 34 per cent; Portsmouth, 34. Virginia sixes sold this afternoon at an advance of 1 per cent, The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port to-day, amounted to $98,283 07; payments, $83,- 83 50—bal ance, $3,206,220 58. A loan for the State of Georgia, for $525,000, coupon bonds, redeomable in twenty years, bearing six per cents ‘was negotiated yesterday by Richard Schell, at a premi- um of five per cent. The loan was taken by Jacob Little, E.W. Clark, Dodge & Oo., A. Belmont, G. B. Lamar President of the Bank of the Republio, and C. W. Law: rence, President of the Bank of the State of New York We have no doubt these bonds will soon be soldata handsome advance, to European captalists. During the late month of March, the total change at the mint and branches was—in gold, $4,931,802; in silver, 57,106; and in copper, $2,399 75. The number of pieces coined was—gold, 480,079; silver, 1,159,600; copper, 239,975—total number of pieces, 1,880,254, The Merchants’ Insurance Company of Boston, have declared a semi-annual dividend of fifteen per cent, pay- able on demand. The Springfield Fire and Marine Insurance Company have declared a semi-annual dividend of 434 per cent. Notwithstanding the great fresbet in the Susquehanna river, no damage has been done to the Susquehanna canal. The river was falling, and no danger was appre- hended. The tax heretofore imposed by the Canal Com- missioners of Pennsylvania on boats passing from the State canal into the Susquehanna canal, has been re- duced one-half—that is, from three dollars to one dollar and a half per boat, There probably is no better security for investment than "the stock issued by any city in the Union for the improve- ment of its thoroughfares, extension of its institutions, and developement of its local resourges. The real and personal property of the corporation are responsible for the pay- ment of the principal of such loans, and such direct taxes asare required for the prompt payment of the interest, can be easily levied. Taxes on property located in cities are more available than on property located elsewhere. City loans are therefore preferable to most others, and are more easily and more favorably negotiated. The city of Chicago has just negotiated a loan with Duncan, Sherman & Co., for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, for which coupon bonds, bearing six per cent interest, will be issued—the principal reimbursable in twenty-five years, The Legislature, by a special act, granted the city the privilege of issuing these bonds, for the purpose of supplying the city with water, and as soon as preper works can be constructed, the people of Chicago will have what they havo long felt the want of—a full supply of pure water, The prosperity of the city will be better ensured by the construction of extensive water works, as the dan- gerof fire will be diminished, and both public and pri- vate property preserved, In 1837, the valuation of real estate in Chicago was $236,842. In 1851, the valuation of real estate was $0.804.262; personal estate, $1,758,455—total, $8.562,717. In 1840, the population of Chicago was 4,479. In 1850, it was 28,200, The increase is likely to continue nearly at the same rate. The rapid extension of railroads, and ther works of internal improvement, in Illinois, all of which centre at Chicago, must make the growth of that city as great during the next twenty years. as has been realized during the past twenty. According to the report of the Finance Committee of the Corporation, the ag- gregate liabilities of the city of Chicago on the 10th of November, 1851, amounted to $132,268 71. Total assets, comprising cash, real estate, wharfing lots, and privi- leges, &e., &c., amounted to $279,525 14—showing an excess of assets over liabilities of $147,256 43. The real estate belonging to the city must ultimately be im- mensely valuable. The construction of the Great Central Illinois Railroad, terminating on Lake Michigan at Chicago, must bring into active use all the wharfing lots and privileges of the city, and make Chicago the centre of an enormous traffic. ‘The lower house of the Legislature of Maryland has passed an act prohibiting the circulation of notes of a lees denomination than five dollars, with an amendment allowing the banks and incorporated institutions of the State to issue such notes until the Ist day of March, 1853. ‘The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal is in good navigable order the entire length of the line. The receipts from tolls on the canal, this year, will, it is calculated, amount to full two hundred thousand dollars.

We have no advices of the result of the sale, The rate of interest paid on these bonds is 60 small, compared with California rates, that they could not have commanded prices anything like those gurrent in this market, The bill authorizing the Northwestern or Parkersburg Railroad, s connecting link in the great straight line of railroads from Baltimore to Cincinnati and St. Louis, ‘bes passed the Maryland House of Delegates, by a unani- mous vote, and will probably pass the Senate, The Harford (Maryland) Gazette says:—All persons having in their possession the notes of the late Havre de Grace Bank will please hold on to them. The Commis- sioner of Harford county, it is presumed, from a decision recently made by @ vote of four to one, will receive them for taxes, The city ef New London, by a vote of 785 to 204, has decided to pledge its credit to aid the New London and Palmer road, in making a connection with the New Maven and New London, at the latter city, in accordance with contfacts recently made to secure a through route from New Haven to Boston, via New London and Norwich. The citizens of New London have voted upon this ques- tion before, and the resolution was lost by a tie vote.
