AD Inspectors, throughout the country, are earnestly requested, at the approaching election. to canvass the electoral ticket first. Their compliance with thie request ‘will enable the press of the United States to satisfy the enxicty of the public in a few hours after the polls are closed, otherwise days may elapse before the result ie kmown, We trust that the press generally will unite ie giving publicity to this request. Notice to Advertisers, ‘We earnestly request all persous advertising in the Msssi.p te send their advertisements to our office, morthwest cornet of Fulton and Nassau streets, 25 early as possible im the evening—never later than § o’elook at night, at furthest. The pressure of the advertising ‘bestness is so great opom our journal that this rule is fendered necessary, in order to give them » good and seuepicucus place im our columns next morning. ‘The eirouletion and advertising business of the New Fern Heaarp is now larger than that of any other fournal on thie comtinent, and strict rulee as to time im everything, will be necesrury, in order to accommodate the whole public fairly and equally. ‘The News. Decidedly the most important of the latei ar tion from all quarters, which we this morning spread before our readers is the news yesterday brought trom Havana by the steamship Black Warrior. Oar | correspondents and translators have given a com- plete history of events on the island of Caba since | our previous advices, as will be seen on reference to the first page. We have spoken at length with re~ gard to this intelligence in another article. Ameng the most interesting foreign intelligence in our columns to-day, is the translation from the Bavena Diario dela Marina of its Mexican cor- reepondence. It gives a birdseye view of the evolutionary movements in the departments of Vera Cruz, Puebla, Jalisco, and Guadalajara, and the object at the bottom of all those conspiracies, which is nothiog more nor less than the re-estab- ishment of Santa Anna as the supreme head and dictator of the country. It is quite likely that Santa Anna is not a party to these movements; but if, in his name, they should result in a successfa combined movement, and the overthrow of the present government, he will doubtless be ready to respond to the call of his partisans, and return to | take again the helm of State. It appears that the revolutionists are making headway, and that the name of Santa Anna is reviving his old popu- larity among the Mexicans in a manner eufficient to give some alarm to President Arista A late decree, against the liberty of the press, indi. estes aleo the uncertain tenure of a Mexican Presi- deni, unless he invests himself, like Santa Anna, with absolute power, aud has the nerve to enforce it. The nationality of Mexico is, in fact, dying out, and the day is net far off when she must either be turned over to the protection of Great Britain er the United States, notwithstanding the exclu- sive ideas of Gen. Soott, and his hostility to mixing up the Mexicans with the Anglo-Saxon race. It would be a remarkable thing if he should be de- tailed by President Pierce to finish the work which he might have finisbed, without firing another gun, under President Polk. Who can pretend to say what shal! be the end of the Tehuantepec difficulty, and the present revolutiosary condition of Mexico? In fact, we are on the verge of another great epoch in all our American relations. The additional European news elsewhere given posserses considerable interest, owing to the far, that several of the articles relate to affairs on this continent. The Cuban difficulties, the Califoroia gold mines, our ship builders and navigators, &-., seem to oceupy the especial attention of the British press just at this time, almost to the exclusion og matters nearer home. We quote from the Liver- pool Courier some further particulars concerning the reck of the American ship Mobile, by whicn som seventy human beings were hurried into a watery grave. The negotiations with regard to the recon- struction of the German Zollverein, the horrible YORK HERALD. | = = 25, cues seneroe . Prom the intelligence which we publich to-dey, Teosived by the steamship Black Warrior, from Havana, it {e manifest that the Jocal authorities of the island of Cuba are determined to precipitate a rapture between the United States and Spaip. Whether from ignorance and stupidity, on the part of the Captain-General, or from a relf-comceited se- curity in the protection of the great powers of Ea rope, it is simply impossible that our governmentcan permit er overlook the repetition of the late out- rages against the Orescent City and the Cornelia, even for the sake of peace. The public opinion of thie country calls for reparation for what has been done—“indemnity of some sort for the past, and security for the future’—and will not sanction a temporizing policy, where, between good behavior |- and hard blows, the issue is so fairly presented. The President is fally aware of this, from the steps which he has taken in the premises; but it may be well to admonish him that, wherein he may fail of a pro- per atonement, the work will only fall with more imposing necessity upon the next administration. Forbearance longer against the Cuban suthorities bas ceased to be a virtue, and the solitary question now to be determined is satisfuction, ample and conclusive, or prompt and summary punishment for the insults perpetrated against owr flag, our com- merce, and the rights of our citizens. Tt appears that the Blask Warrior and ber offisers were received and treated in a very courteous and hospitable manner by the officials of Havana; but thas, at the same time, a war steamer bad been or- dered to cruiss outside the Moro to prevent the Crescent City from entering the barbor. Ere this, she has becn again driven off, or fired inte, or ad- mitted into port. The probability is that she has been again denied admiscion ; for a sine qua non to her entering wae the dismissa! or absence of Purser Smith from the ship. He was charged with writing revolutionary letters to the United States, and with having revolutionary sympathies, dangeroua to the Sovereignty of the island. The United States vessel, therefore, with this terrible firebrand on board, could not be permitted to enter Havana. We shall know, in a day ortwo, whether this outrage has or has nog been repeated; for it is plainly out of the question that Mr. Puoreer Smith, under the circumstances, could be spared from the vessel, even if he desired it Inhis person the rights of every citizen in the United States are represented. The issuo has boen made, and the admission of the ship into port, with Mr. Smith on board, is aright which our government is in duty bound to enforce, if necessary, in an ap- peal to that ultima ratio regum of the cannon’s | month. | Inthe meantime, certain outside orgaos of the administration are endeavoring to divert the public attention from the real issue between our govern- ment and the Spanish authorities of Cuba. Hence the extraordinary disclosures concerning the dis- covery, by the cabinet at Washington, of the pro- digious fillibustering organization inj this city; and of the measures on foot to prevent another buc- caneering adventure to Cuba from our shores. All this may be very well. Indeed, there can be no doubt that the zeal of President Filimore, in main. | taining inviolate our obligations of national good | faith, friendship, and neutrality, is highly com- mendable; but while thus vigilant in enforcing our obligations, « corresponding policy must be exacted | from thé other side. However hostile the President | may be to any course of action ealeulated to fasili- tate the acquisition of Cuba--however desirous of suppressing all sgitation or excitement upon the | subject—it is still his duty to vindicate, at whatever | peril, the honor of the country. It will not do to lead off on the false scent of the Cuban conspiracy in New York. That conspiracy, under t2e mysiical title of ‘The Lone Star,” apparently so much drealed by the govermnent, is all humbug. It is an ingenious device of a few shar | venturers for fleecing our uuie | their money, upon the fussinating pretence ef ; the liberation of Quba, and it is nothing more. | There are no means, no fucilities, nor organizn- | tione, nor men, nor materials, and, we ven- | ture to say, there is no intention, on the part of this Lone Star association, for another Lopez adventure | inte the island. Certainly this is not the oovasion | for apprehending such a foray, whatever ney be the future programme of the Lone Star fraternity. The chiefs of this conspiracy pocket some few shillinge, | from initiation fees and monthly contributions, and mort probably that is the extent of the danger to the brightest jewel in the crown of Quen Isa- bella. The Cuban Creoles implicated in the society | May be more sanguine, and they may bleed freely, in view of a speedy descent of a conquering expe- dition, which shall liberate their beautifal island, | end restore te them their confiscated property; but they, too, are under the same delusion as the boys | Who have joined the order in the prospect of fan and fr and oceans of plunder. There is no chance, no prospect of an opportunity, nor do we | | believe there is any intention, among the leaders of the Lone Siar societies, for another /illibustering in. vasion of Cuba. It may be all well enough to keep a vigilant eye upon their movements; but at this particular verpment and organs is to exact a cessation of the outrages committed against our citiv zens and commerce by the authorities of Cuba, \ and reparation for what has already been done. | Manifest destiny requires, sooner or later, the an- nexation of Cuba to the United States. itis hat | a question of time. That island can have no otbor | permanent or peaceable position. It iz at the op- tion of Spain whether this ultimate annexetion shall be the reeult of a pucchase or a conquest; she mey choose the alternative—the reeul! will be the same. Not al] the powers of Europe combined | could prevent the instant seizure and pormansot | oceupation of Cubs in the event of a war with | Spain. In twenty days a hundred thousand men | could be thrown into the island, and their expal- j sion would demand a force of three tims that wumber of the best troops of Europe—a requisition | with which neither France nor Eoglaud would un- dertake to comply. If, therefore, the Spanish euthorities of Havana have b igated to the late outrages upon our merchant vessels by the | court of Spain, with the ulterior view of compelling #n aotive alliance fom Franse and Hogland, by provoking a rupture with the ed States, tragedy caused by jealousy in Paris, the account of | they have adopted a most ridiculons policy. the death of Castinos, &:., will all attract a great deal of attention, A terrific gale occurred near Lewes, Del, on Thursday, in the course of which the boilers of the teamer St. Nicholas gave out, and sho was com- pelled to heave to. On the same day a couple of yachts started ont from Philadelphia for a race One has returned, after being somewhat damaged by the storm, but the other bas not yet been be from. Vrom Philadelphia we learn that the bark Baltic, which was yesterday reported in the Hara.D as having been abandoned at sea in a sinking condition, was owned by a firm in tha! city, and her cargo was insured in London.

Also, a great number of advertisements, many of which are not only in teresting, but will save dealers and others hours of unnecessary toil in the way of ranning about the city, endeavoring to find that which thoy can gene- rally procure in a few minutes by turning to our eolumns.

That ie the first question to be settled. The Newspaper Press, tn Europe and America. Bome of our cotemperaries have been beguiling their leisure hours, aud edifying their subscribers, with aceoun's of the newspaper trade, and ex cathe: dra dissertations about the Loudom Times. One thing they have clearly demonstrated, and thet is their own ignorance of the subject. Tous it seems a fact by no means indisputable, that euch a paper asthe London Times can ever exist in America The newspaper prese of exch country is moulded on the peculiar character of its people and institutions. The London Times, with ite stately leadere, its ar- rogant tone, i's unmatched excellence of details, and its high price, is weil suited for Great Britain ; but it is very questionable whether a paper got up on the same model would thrive in the United Btates. The Times is, in itself, a miniature of the society among which it circulates. You can find in it the erown, tords and commons: the royal pre- rogative andthe slavish respect paid ‘to hereditary boxors, in covflict with, but not wholly subservient to, the democratic spirit of the commercial comma- nity: & vigorous striving after reform etrangoly blended with an uxreasoning attachment to old forms and usages: @ lotty tone, too freqnently be- lied by s crafty purpose: loud professions of prin- { ciple, and » characteristic regard for pecuniary pro fit. The Times stan?s sione pre-eminent among the prees of Great Britain, is read by every one who ean read; goes abrozd as the British newspaper—is the ¢ and the best type of English journals. Society in Great Britain isnct split up into secte end cliques, as bitterly opposed to each other as the abslition- ists and Southern interests are here—one news- paper may be popular with all. The coantry is tmaller, and from Caithness to Land's End, every man who reads, profere the Times to all its cotem- poraries Here, the case is different. Exch lerge city hasa newspaper press equal in number and far greater in circulation than the whole press of London Local interests and party fecling sustain journals which have no claims to support, save their local charac- ter and party bias. The people of this country de- | mand cheap reading. They would g-adge three cents, where the British public are content to pay ten. There, and other reaeons, militate strongly | against the probability of thera ever being, in this | country, a paper established on precisely the same | basis, and conducted on precisely the same principles, | asthe London Times. Itis a raatter of grave doubt whether a nearer approach will ever be made than | the New York Heratp of to dgy. In point of en- terprise in the collection of news, it does not yield the palm to tho “Thunderer of Printing House | Fguare,” nor will it concede an obvious superiority | inthe quantity, choice, er qu of the reading matter it contains. In these respects, there would — be affectation in attempting to conceal its vast su- periority over its American cotemporaries. Bat the chief point of difference between the Ja'ter and the | Henarp—whish, at the same timo, is the strongest point of resemblance between it and che London | Times—is ite universal character. With tke single | | exception of the Weraxp, al) the cewepepers pub- | lished in the United States are either sectional or | sectarian. One representa s cl onotheris writ- | ten for, sold to, and read by the citizens of a ward, a village, acity, ora State. The Henan alone elr- culates everywhere, and is tha daily mez) of men of all parties. The Tribune has some cirealation among the abolitionists of the West. The Times is the special organ of tho Eoward whigs, a small clique—a rather expensive luxary, as they have discovered by this time. The Wall streetpapors ure only read by the New York merchants. The Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, and New Ocleans papers have no subscribers worth counting outside the Gistrict where they are published. The Hemaun is | | despatched North, South, East and Woat: it ig | anxiously leoked for by politicians and commercial men in Washington, Boston, Philadelphia, Massa | chusetts, Ohio, Pennsylvania, the Carolinas, and Louisiana: it is read by every man who reads any- thing in thie city: all staunch friends of the coun- try and the constitution lock to it for cound views and a judicious appr n of events, while aboli- tioniets avd other treitors open its pagea with a | trembling but an eager hand. Abroe, the press of Great Britein seldom quote any ether euthority | than the Huranp: the Parie Débets Presse | | stamp their American news with the indisputable | «whet: * Oa dit dans te New York Herald:” in the | south of Europe, in Germany, in Prassia, in Itaty— i go where you will, in fact, the reply toan inquiry for | en American newspaper will be the production of | the Hrnaip. Of its wide spread cirealation in this the state of our columns, overloaded with ad rom day today, is conclusive evi- dence. Itie sufficiently well known in New York, that when a “wanted”? appears in the Henanp in the morning, twenty or twenty five to fifty answers | are often found in our office by noon; and the adverti- | ser’s desires have been communicated to thousands in this city and the neighborhood. Tha‘ these results are eminently gratifying to us, ye will not affect to deny. And w} neither energy, nor enterprise, nor interest, for the unmasking of fraud | for the dissomination of whatever ie good and use- ful to know, has been wanting on our part, we gan- not, in view of the unequalled measure of success | which it has been our good fortune to attain, rograt | that we do net approximate more closely to that eelf erected standard of journelism, the London Times. With that newspaper we bave many points and qualities in common. We hare both beom honored with the ill concealed envy and hatred of our Jess succeseful cotemporaries: we have both | been facetiously supposed, on acsount cf'the \pro- digious triumphs we have obtained, to have a secret connection with His Satanic Mojeety: wos have both | fought our way to the apogee of journalism, and | represent our respective countries abroad: we bath | poseese that universality which distingnishes we from the party and sectional prints, offers to pur: chase our good-will are constantly wade to both, by people who do not udderstand that we cannot afford to be venal, if we were fo inclined; we hare both, in the teeth of # crnsede from our confréres, sevared and retained the public ceafidence, and a larger share of po) ily than was ever before conceded to a periodical. Nearer than this to our British contemporary, we care not to go. Denocnaric Mass MERTING.— A mass mosting of the ‘ great unterrified” takes place thia ev ry at Tammany Hall, for the purposo of ratifying the regular democratic ations recently made ia | the city and county of Now York, fur Congress and | county and city offices.

Mr. Webster has refueed and still refuses to Sapport or countenance the eleetion of General Szott —o mere military man—as 2 prineiple of dangerous consequences to the republic; but, at the carneat solicitation of his personal friends, and to soothe his pillow— during what is believed to be his last iliness— he has consented to put his name to a Jetter written by certain parties congregated at Marehtield for that purpose. These entreaties—these solicitations— have increased his illnees, and will probably hasten his departure to another and a better world. For some days past Edward Curtis, Esq , Mr. Blatchford of this city, with many others from Bostonand New York, bave been at Marshfield on this singular mission. The plan of getting some kind of a letter from the dying stateaman is believed to have been devised, arranged, and concosted by Thurlow Weed, Simeon Draper, and others ‘* of that ik,” who meet occasionally at the room marked “Private,” on your left hand as you enter tho left grand staircase of the Broadway entrance to the Astor House. In a few days the letter will be pub- lished in the Courierand Exquirer, and that con- sistent print will call upon the friende of Webstor in this city to abandon their movement—give up thei, electoral ticket, and go over, a8 it has done, “bag and baggage, scrip and scrippage,” to the support of Seward and tho socialists who hang now on the chances of General Scott. If Mr. Webater’s honest friends will onty obey this behest, they will recoive | & bond for $52,726 37}, to be paid out of the next new United States Bank, which will be chartered by Congress when Wm. H, Seward succeeds General Scott tothe Presidency, and John M. Botts as Vice President. So the Webster movement is done for. Britise BRrpeRy AND AMERICAN MENDICANCY — We have received a heap of lettors and applications from benevolent societies, charitable institutions, operative leagues, and distressed individuals in this city, seeking appropriations from the fund of $250 forwarded to us by an abolition clique in London, as a bribe to gain our influence in opposing the election to Congress of General Walbridge. We have not yet made up our mind definitely as to the merits of the various associations which have put in their claims for a moiety of thie fund, but shall in a day or two, after we have made tho necessary inqni- ries. The application from the chaplain of the Seamen’s Retreat, at Staten Island, and that from Mrs, Hawkins, on behalf of the Mariners’ F. I. Society, we are disposed to regard favorably’ and will probably make an appropriation to each of them. So, also, jn regard to the claim put in by the president of the “Friendly Sons of St. Patrick,” to which association we will likewise give a portion of the bribe. Among these numerous appeals, we have severa) from ladies from different quarters of the behslf of the Shirt Sewers’ Union, Shirt Makers’ | Union, and other associations with similars titles. Tf we thought that we could really bestow any benefit on the class of females which these unions profess to arsist,we would most willingly appropriate the Jargest portion of the sum in our hands to that | object But we know, of old, the real merits of these sham protective societies. Years back we used our best influence in support of such institutions, till at last we found ont that the indigent female shirt sewers were regularly victimized by their pseudo- friends, and that the contributions for their benefit were swallowed up by herpies of old ladies, or by un- principled ecoundrels who managed the shirt stores, and cheuted and defrauded, in every possible way, the poorcreatures in whose behalf the public sentimen‘ had been elicited. Since then we have always looked with great suspicion on these associa- tions, regarding the efforts made from time on their behalf, as emanating from peraons who had a closer eye after their own profits than after the wel- | fare of their protegés. Such must be our answer to he numerous letters we have received from them; and unless we receive such information about them as may remove all suspicion from our minds, we must decline making any appropriation In such | quarters. Ag to the “‘ Magdalen Society,” however, jn favor of which a lady pu's in a strong plea, we areinclined to be charitable towards it, and may re- member it in our distribution. From an indirect source, we are asked to give some assistance to the Musical Fund Society; but to thie we give a decided negative. societies are got upand managed by a set of gor- mandizers, whose only interest in them consists in the feasts they get out of the funds, once a year. If the hundreds of dollars expended in ministering to the appetites of the managers and oyster house critics, were wisely and uzefully appropriated, these societies might then with a better grace solicit public eapport. As it is, they can have none of ours. Besides those applications we have enumerated, we have also received some from titled exiles, | foliciting aid in their destitute cireumstances. But we cannot legitimately apply any of our Britis bribe in relieving cases of individual destitution. If we were to do so, we presume we would be over- | whelmed with petitions from pauper countesses, marchionesses, and dutchesses, fugitives, exiles, or | emigrants from their estates in Italy, Transylvania, Treland, Poland, or Hungary. Such, however, would bea mal-appzopriation of the fund. If there are any other societies of the character of those to which we have signified our intention of responding | Javorally, who desire to have a share of the spoils, | they should send in their application immediately, as ina few days we shall have the whole amount distributed. Gex. Scorr axp tHe Batranion or Sr. Parnick.— Gen. Scott, in one of his latest speoches, in a roundabout way denies that he hung any Trishmen in Mexico, and calls upon Gen. Shields to answer to the charge. Now, the questions to bo answered are—was there not a battalion in the Mexican army called the Battalion of St. Patrick? Were not the most of them taken prisoners at Churnbuseo? Were they not Trishmen—unworthy the pame—deserters from the American army—and were not a large number of them hung up like malefactors! Was not Riley, their captain, branded with a hot iron, and drummed out of camp? Were not those deserters justly punished? And if so, why does Gen. Scott deny the hanging, or bandy the lie wish the newspapers about it? Is he not too excitenble for the White House? What says Gon Shields? Arrival of the R, M. Steamship Derwent.

VIOLATING THE PERSON OF A YOUNG GIRL, ON BOARD THE STRAMBOAT KNICKERBOCKER | Vester P“morving, officer Roberts, of the Third ward police, arrested a man of gentcel appearance, named John U. Boynton, on board the steamboat Knickerbocker, on a charge of committivg a violent outrage on the person of Mary Ann Jacobs, a girl between eleven and twelve years | of ge. The offence was perpetrated on board the sald steamboat, on her way from Allyn’s Point to this city, during Saturday night. It appears from the facts as set forth in the several affidavits before Justice Bogart, at the Police Court, that the girl, Mary Ann Jacobs, whose parents reside in Boston, was on her way to this city to visit her uncle, who is stated to keep a store in Broadway, and was accompanied to the cars from Boston by her fa- ther. On arriving at Allyn’s Point, Mary Ana, in com- pany with all the other passengers, took ‘the steamboat Kpiekerbocker for New York. Mary Ann, it seems, was only provided with a deck passage, ani, accordi | her own statement, was sitting on a box about mi ps | when Boyntem beckoned toher, She went tohin, He | told her that he wanted her, and at the same time took | hold of her arm and led her up a flight of stairs into the saloon where the state rooms are, and, on arriving at his | state room. he put his arms around her back and pushed | | her forcibly into his state room, and Iccked the door. | | There was no light in the room, Beynton sat down on the | corner of the bed, at the same time pulling her towards ; him, and kissed her. She resisted him and palled away. | He again caught hold of her and wanted her to go to bed | | with him. She begged of him three or four times to re- | Jease her and let her go out of the room, and tatked out loud, A man called at the door for the fare tickets; Boyn- | ton opened the door end paid him for her, as well as him- | self. She then wanted to leave the room, but he still re- | | fused to let her out, and again locked the dcor. He again | commenced to take Liberties with her person, and threat | | ened it she mace any more noise to Kili her,end other | thrests which the did not fully understand, ‘Wander the fear of being killed, she remained, without imeking any fur- ther alarin, and he ultimately sucoveded in violating her person, However. her erying out was heard by some of | the passengers who occupied the adjoining berth, who | knocked at the partitiva He then stopped; and ‘soon after some other persons knocked at the door, and threat- ened him with personal violence if he did not open the door, | Boynton then opened the door, and she went oat. On ; Jeaving the state 100m she caw quite a number of persons | gathered about the door. Some of them iuqaired of her what had occurred, whereupon, she told them he (Boyn- | ton) had induced her to come up stairs,and had pushed her into the state room with him, locked the door, and | had then forcibly violated her ‘The girl was then taken charge of by Captain Wilcox, commander of the beat, Boynton was locked up in the state room, and on | the arrival of the boat placed in the hunds of the police. The statements of the girl aro corroborated by Mr. Ben. | jamin Rice, one of the passengers, who ossupied state | Toom 46, adjoining that of Boynton; who says he rovidesat | | No. 31 Central street, Worcester, and that about 11 o'clock, he beard the sound of male and female voices in state room No. 47, and distinctly heard Boynton make use of very strange and vulgar langusge to the girl, and she was evidently resisting him Witness got up and rapped against the partition, and called out te Boynton that if he did not cease he would break into the room. At this time the girl was heard to tcli him tostop. Witnesstben | went to the door and saw two or three persons at the door; afterwards the captain of the boat came, knocked | at the door, and ordered Boynton to open it, The door | ‘was opened and Mary Ann Jacobs, the girl now in court, | come out of the room, and the captain went into the | room and spoke to Boyntom. Another passenger, Mr, | Jebn B. Gibbs, of Brattle street, Boston, also testified to secing Boynton take the girl up stairs and go into the state room Previous. however, to taking the gitl up to the state room, Boynton spoke to him and remarked that | there was some fun going on amougst the women on the | forward deck, and told the witness to keep still.as it was | all right, Other wilnesees ean also testity to a similar | state of facts, The prisoner is said toreside in Brooklyn. | He was committed to the Tombs in defanit of $3 000 bail, | The girl was also committed to the care of Mrs, Foster, the | matron of the prion, for safe keeping and proper treat- | ment. The following witnesses are yet to be examined:— | Capt, Wileox, William Thompson. elerk of the boat, John ‘ayer, and Lucien Burliegh. It is said thet the cousel for the privoner will contest the ju- riedictlon in this matter, as the offence was committed on | the Sound. while the boat was on her way to this State, | about opporite New London. virrest of @ Bold Thief.-A young man of genteel ap- | pearance. calling himself George Ndwards, entered the | jewelry store of Fellows & Cooper, No. 11 Maiden lane, | and asked to be shown some watches, stating that he wi 4 watchmaker, and wonted to make a purchase, Accord. ingly, Mr. Robert Foster, the clerk in attendance, placed several gold watches in separate cares. After examining s0- veral of the watches in question, Mr. Foster noticed a very curious movement tuade by Edwards with one of the watches, and taking up the case which he laid down on the covnter, and on opening the same, discovered that the gold watch, valued at $10, had been extracted. Mr, Foster immediately accused Edwards of stealing the wateb, and in the breast of his buttoned coat the watch | Was found, “God bless me!” replied Edwards. when the | clerk pulled out the watch, “ What a curions affair! The | watch ncehdantally fell from the case into my coat bosom, without my knowledge; it was really quite an accident,’ However. the proprictors of the store were not quite so simple as to believe that the watch jumped from the ease | into the coat bosom of Mr. Edwards, of its own accord, but ihat he bad stolen it and would have left the store with it in his possession had ke not been detected. Therefore, | officer Underbill, of the Chief's office, was sent for, who | took Rdwards into cuntody, and conveyed him before Justice Bogert, at the Tombs. On the porson of the ac- cused was found, a Ee hunting watch, No. 7,623, Perret Moller, maker; attached Lo this watch, were two gold chains, | one a fob and the other a vest chain; they are supposed to be stolen, and for which an owner fs wanted. The pro. perty can be teen, by applying to Mr Nesbit, the police clakat the Tombs,” In a wallet found in the possession of the accused was a certificate of good conduct, a copy of which, is as tollows = | IL, Schenck, Henry E. § New Yorw, Oct 12, 18%, ‘This ia to sertify, that David H, Roswncranes has been in the employ of the Mudaon River Railroad Co., acting in the ductor of freight traing, I cousidor him ea: orth on any road, he boing temperate and riully recommend, WM.
