Q--Have you stated all that you saw after you was sitting in the room ¥ ‘A.—-I saw a man standing under the gas light, with his arm raised to it; I saw a short, thick set negro come in at the north door, and throw two stones, at me, as I thought: the last one hit me on the leg; this was at the time of the first pistol shot this, as you went over before ? I did not mention names, as I had done that in the of it: don’t recollect anything more. When you was sworn before, did you gwear you went out the north door? A.—I can’t tell what I swore then; things were then fresh in my recollection; don’t think I then swore posi tive I went’ out the north door; think I did net swear I be ‘ht I went out the north door; swore as to what door wood to defend myself, when the fracas first commenced think it was before Clapp came in; it strikes me ! made some use of it; I could not tell what I did with it; [don't recollect whether I swore at Auburn what I did with it; the stone that did not hit me went by; I dodged the mo- tion; don’t know as I saw the stone. ‘The Court, wished to know why this course of examina- tion was pursued!—why it was important whether he dodged the stone? Mr. Sedgwiek.—I can tell your honor in one moment. At Auburn, the y s swore, that after the lights were put out, he saw the stone thrown, and dodged it Mr. Lawrence objected toa course of examination on immaterial points, and, also, to the examination aa to the facts affecting other cases. The Court should, to the largest reasonable extent, allow counsel to go on, upon both sides. Mr. Nye said counsel were oblighed for the suggestion of the District Attorney. They had heard before that immaterial matters were not in order. He would say, that the question of the credibility of a witness is always in order. ‘The Court insisted that it was not competent to go into immaterial testimony to discredit a witness. Mr. Nye—What we propose to do, is to call Higgins, Alderman Higgins, and make him impeach himself. The Court said it belonged to it to determine as to the materiality of testimony, and added; Mr. Sedgwick, what do you propose to prove by this witness? Q.—Did vou for A at Auburn, that he dodged a stone thrown by a negro. The Court—Witness may go on. Q. Did you swear at Auburn, that you dodged the stoi A. Don’t recollect whether I did or not. Q. Did you know how the fact was! did you dodge it or not? A.

Q: Did you swear at Auburn, in regard to Enoch Reed? A. Yes, I think I did; I presume I swore at Auburn as to what I'saw Enoch Reed say and do on that evening. Q. Did you testify at Auburn, that you saw Enoch strike at you with a club, and thai Stewart prevented his striking you? A.—My impression is that I swore Enoch raised a club, and Stuart prevented him from striking me; at Auburn, Ithink I swore I heard him say something; think I swore at Auburn that Enoch said and back yourself,” or “Why don’t you stand back enoch raised a club, and Stuart preveniéd him striki ; do not think I swore at Auburn that Ei be ready,”’ or “He will be out ina minut ything of that ‘kind; don't recol- ect whetaer, at Auburm, my direct examination was by reading an affidavit; 1 had made one; it was drawn in the District Attorney’s office; I stated the occurrence, andon that the afidavit was drawn; the affidavit was drawn a few days after the occurrenee; a week or ten days, per- haps: Tread the affidavit and understood it before I swore to it; don't know whether I saw the affidavit at Auburn; it was read to me by Mr. Lawrence, and was part of my direct examination ;it was read to me at Buffalo before the Grand Jury e seen that afidavit published in some vaper; dou trecollcet whether it was correctly published.

Q. Is the top of the lamp at the Climax House lower han the platform by several feet ? | A. Ishould say itwaa not quite so high as the plat- form; the lamp is ten feet high: the platform is two feet | and a half higher than the grace of the street. At the time you made your affidavit, had any one arrested? A. No one. Q. Did you make the affidavit with reference to any particular person? | "A. I made it with reference to Sammons and Clapp, as 1 | knew most about them. I might bave made a longer | one; am pretty sure that Clapp’s name is in that aff- | davit. | @ You say the affidavit was made in reference to Sam | mons and Clapp; now, had Reed anything to do with them A.

Day by day the members of this regiment are leaving our midst, brought down to a goldier's grave by disease contracted in the arduous, duties performed in’ battling for their country. There are but a few of this gallant band of invincibles left, and many of them at this day endeavor to keep up a hope that yet our citizems will do something to make them comfortable in their decline. We would wish to see a move made for the relief of the volunteers.

Preparations are being made on a grand scale, in order to render this ball the most magnificent that has taken place in New York this season. The entire lower part of the theatre will be boarded on a level with the stage for dancing, and thevarious saloons connected with the es tablishment are to be thrown open and used on the occa- sion. In one portion of the house nothing but cotilons will be danced, while another part of it will be devoted to the dancing’ of schottisches, waltzes, and polkas. Thus, | those who cannot dance schottisches, &¢., can amuse theraselvos the entire night in that part of the establish- ment where cotilons alone are danced. This regiment have of late adopted a regimental uniform, about one hundred and fifty of whom will appear.

Mr. Burns, cabinetmaker, carried on business upon the third floor, ‘The flames suddenly burst out from the second floor of the honse No. 28, and owing to the nature of the stock stored upon the premices, it made ra- pid headway, until the different floors enumerated with Seventeenth ward, Captain Russell, Thirteenth ward, with Assistant Captain Hicks, and several sections of of- ficers, attended to preserve order. The firo companies worked with great energy. and contended manfully with all difficulties of frozen hydrants, intense cold, kc. The buildings were insured, but we could not exactly ascer- tain regarding the stock. As the premises were some time previously secured for the night, it is not known how the fire originated. The entire damage is estimated at about $2,600, dae Free at Retcers sur.—A written communication has been forwarded to us, to the effect that the sawmills burned at the tate fire did not belong to Mr. Loveland, as painted upon the building. The reporters for the p understood from the people around that the stock and machinery were owned by that gentleman. It is written tous that the building was occupied by Mr. E. Street as a steam sawmill; loss on machinery and fixtures, about $5,000; insurance, $3,000. The building was owned by Bre. J. H. Homer: loss, about $4,200; inssrance, $3,000. Fine ry Hopokex.—About half-past five o'clock last evening, a fire broke out in a two-story frame building, tandingalone upon the hill opposite the ferry station, in Hoboken. The flames burst out at all parts of the build- ing almo-t simultaneously, and before any effcetnal eifort could be made toarrest their progress, the entire builling. with part of the furniture, was destroyed. The house was owned by the ferry company, and occupied by Mr. Roland, lately a ferry master, and at present in the em- ploy of Mr. Stevens. The light shone so brizht upon the clear, frosty sky, that many of our citizens judged the conflagration to be most extensive. Two of the New York fixe companies crossed over, and worked with their usual energy. Mr. Roland has four young childven, but they eseaped with their mother, without accident. The loss ix estimated at $1,500. Our revorter is indebted to the cmploy és of the company for aiding his inquiry. Accipent tron THE Hepson Raver Rarroap—An Ev- Gixe Brown vr—Oxy, May Ixsurep.—An alarming and very wnustial accident occurred upon the above line of read, at Tarrytown, yesterday morning. It appears that the locomotive of the seven o'clock Peekskill and New York train was stopped at the station-house for water, when under the shed which covers the water, it sud ly burst, blew up, and became a complete wreck. roof was torn from off the shed, and scattered in all directions, whilst parts of the broken engine were hurled nearly three hundred feet into the water. The «m: fragments of iron and wood were so widely scattere’ that it is astonishing how a number of persons who were round the station-house eseaped without injury. A foot passenger going upon his way had his arm fractured in two places. The passengers arrived in the city by the holf past eight o'clock train. The locomotive is said to have been very old. Dreyer ste Arrest at Scrcion.—Marie Chockti, a na- tive of Poland, made a most determined attempt to com mit suicide yesterday afternoon, at the house of Mr. John Hingelage, No. 61 West Broadway. About this hour Mr. Hingsloge heard s man calling for help from the top of the stairs, near the attic, and immediately ran up. Upon arcom he saw Chockti sitting in a chair, with hing from his mouth and nose, The floor was also covered with blood. Mr, Hingslage was much alarm ed, and thinking thatthe man had fallen in a fit, inquired of him, “What's the matter?’ Upon this Choekti poi ed to a pistol which was lying upon the floor, tl intimating that he had attempted to shoot him would appear that during the absence of » [rieud, with whom he had been residing for some time, the young man took a loaded single barrelled pistol, and fixing the mux ale in his mouth, dixcharged it. ‘The ball ran to the back part of his throat, and lodged in the muscles and car tilages around the windpipe, where it still remains, Mr. Hingslage placed a man in charge of him, and gave aa alarm to the Fifth ward police, when Agsistant Captain Hutebings immediately attended with officers, and con veyed him to the City Hospital. Before the arrival of the police the wounded man besought of his keeper to shoot him. Chockti is of a highly respectable Polist family, and has been only eight months in America, During this time he spent about $1,500 amongst so-called friends, by whom he wns latterly deserted when his money was all gone. He is represented as a young man of temperate habits, but it is considered that grief at his past folly and present position, induced him to commit the rash act. He was comfortable in the City Hospital Inst evening, but his breathing and articulation were much impeded, owing to the position of the ball, and his life was considered in much danger. Captain Hutchings bas the pistol, and paper whieh he found in the room, with a fe it, which seem to be writien in the Selavonic langu: and are 0 indistinctly traced that it is difficult to read them.

INTELLIGENCE YROM DemaRrana.—We have re- | ceived papers from Georgetown, Demarara, to the 2eth ult. Heavy rains had fallen, but usually at such seasonable hours as not at all to interfere with the ordinary labor of the estates. Water is now, every- where, in sufficient quantity to bring home canes; and there is no doubt that the estimated quantity of sugar will be made and shipped—something over 50,000 hogsheads—leaving a promising stand of ig canes to commence the operations of a new year. The general health of the colony is excellent, although we are sorry to report that yellow fever still lingers among the shi pring. and wit! sults. The Court of Policy has been in session, and several measures of great colontal importance have occupied the attention of the honorable members. A new arrangement has been approved, as to the management of the funds devoted by the Legislature to the support of the poor. They will now be under the contgyl of Poor Law Commissioners, directly re- sponsibléto the executive, in place of under a com- mission of gentlemen, who, having their own busi- ness to attend to, could only partially supervise their SDRC: The alteration has been made with the full sanction and approval of the former Board. Proroskp AMENDMENT or THE Lier Law.— { Senator Beekman introduced a bill in the following terms, in the Senate of this State, on the 24th inst. The intention of it is to place the reporter and pub- lisher of a legislative debate upon the same footing as the legislator, who makes the remarks which are reported: AN ACT RELATIVE TO LIBELOUS PUBLICATIONS IN NEWSPAPERS. ‘The people of the State of New York, represonted in fenate and Assembly. do enact as follows:— See. 1.

Sec. 3. This act shall take @fect immediately. Sars or THE Troy ANp Scuenectapy Rat- Roap.—We learn from the Troy papers that the fol- lowing were the terms of this purchase:—Hon. E. D. Morgan, President of the Hudson River Railroad, buys it for $200,000, the sum of $50,000 having been paid down—the other $150,000 to remain without terest for five years—then to draw interest at 6 pee cent, payable semi-annually, until 1867, when the principal is to be paid—the pa aa party to pay sooner if desired, on giving three months notice. It is secured in the agreement that four passenger trains shall be run over the road daily, (Sundays excepted.) soas to keep up a connection with the western roads—such connection to be maintained as perfectly as it is now in all respects. The sale was ratified by the Common Council, at a special meeting, by a vote of 14 to 3.—Albany Journal, Jan.
