PETTY OFFENDERS—A WEEK'S RETURN. Before Judge Beebe, Aldermen Smith and Ward. Arnm 1.—The scenes enacted in this Court. usually twice a week, would occasionally present some ludicrous features, were it not that such ideas are banished by the reflection that they each contain seme melancholy ele- howing the depths of the misery and depravity in our midst. ‘The criminals placed at the bar are of the most motley description, All large cities furnish specimens of the dregs of humanity in shapes sufliciently revolting, but this, perbaps, in more various ones than any in the world. Truly, this court may be said to fulfil one office of the drama, as defined by its great master—‘To show vice her own image, and the very age and body of the time, its form and pressure.” The characters exhibited are of all ages; many almost infants in everything save innocence; some in the prime of youth and manhood, but possessed of none of the spi- rit which should ennoble either; and not a few that have attained advanced years, but whose habitual bat petty vices have bereft of “all that should accompany oldage.”” They are also of all hues and all nations. The preponde- rance f one sex over the other is scarcely observable, ex- cept in the case of the very juvenile thieves, who are al- most exclusively boys—that is, of absolutely tender for as early as ihirteen or fourteen, many girls are as bardened in the ways of wickedness, The Court having cognizance of all cases of assault and battery, as well as petit larceny (anless a jury trial be demanded), the mass of squalid misery, rags, and dirt formed by the majority of otlenders, is varied by a sprink- hing of the better clothed ‘Short Boy,’ and rowdies of simllor organizations, re having been no court held on Tuesday, the list for yesterday (Friday) eentained the accumulation of a week, amounting to seventy-one prisoners, and eighteen de ts on bail; of these, fifty one were tried, the rest being discharged for wint of witnesses, or having pleaded guilty. There were also six disorieriies, committed for ant of bail, released from durance. value of the s stolen is frequently less than a dollar, such as ‘a piece of hung beef, value 25 cents,” and, in one in stance, ‘a bottle of cider, value 1244 cents.’’ | oe! at the matter in a practical view, itis a strong proof of the necessity of the proposed alteration of the | law. by giving police justices summary jurisdiction in such cases A Pely Pirate —A miserable looking fellow, named Francis Gallagher, was charged with stealing an axe anda+hirt from on board the sloop Star, on Sunday night, or rather Monday morning, about o'clock, whether mean or sea time the witness did not say, but if it cor- responded with the other facts, 1t must have been mean indeed. John Tierney, 8 hand on board, swore the property was his, and he caught the prisoner, who kad no busingss on board, taking it. The defence was a common one. He had been out with and was going home to some fiend and got some liquor. Q.—What were you doing on board that sloop? his wife. A.—I was a little “high, sir, Judge—Is your wife here? Prisener—Yes, sir. (He then looked all around the court, till a young and rather good looking woman stand ing by his side touched him.) Oh, here she is, sir. Judge—Why, you hardly seem to know her. (Laughter.) Prisoner—I thought she was over there. Q.—Was she Q—Have you got any children? we got one, but we buried it. art bad very little sympathy for him, and, as he was not high enough to be above stealing, they sent nim to the Island for s'x months. Distressing Cave.—An aged man named Shaw, of very | sbabby appearance, but who expressed himseif very well, complained ot his son, Uhl, a lad of dogged countenance, aged seventeen, for having assaulted him on Tuesday last, by striking him on the cheek with a knif’ in his band Having tod his story, be coucluded — “Tt 1s a uard Casé on me, Judge, to have to complain; but I have no peaes. Here am I. sixty-six years of age, and an old citizen.” ‘The Court having learned that the mother was in court, wished to hear her, and an elderly, decent, but harrassed- looking woman tock the stand.

M. ‘There was not so much activity in the stock mar ket this morning aa we have noticed for some days past, and the tendency from the opening was down- ward. Within the past day or two the money mar- ket has become quite stringent again, and there are strong indications of another severe contraction. Stocks felt it today quite sensibly, as will be seen by the quotations. At the first board Florence and Keyport declined j per cent; Nicaragua, } ; Cum- berland, 3; Phoenix, $; Erie Railroad, 4; Harlem, }; Hudson River Railroad, $; Norwich and Worcester, 45 Morris Canal, 3. ‘Great Northern Lead advanced 4 per cent, with large sales. Cumberland is the weakest fancy stock on the list, and will, one of these days, tumble down lower than it has been yet. ‘The bears have lately had a good opportunity to put out this fancy on long contracts, and we believe they have availed themselves of it to a considerable ex- tent. With perhaps the exception of Erie, it is the only stock on the list where there is a very wide margin for a decline that is likely to be soon wiped out. At the second board the market was a little bet- ter, and prices slightly improved. Nicaragua Transit advanced } per cent; Erie Railroad, 1; Hud- son Railroad, 3; Parker Vein, }. Potomac Copper declined } per cent. fi The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port to-day, amounted to $109,465 22; pay- ments, $67,580 24—balance, $7,436,987 94.

We gave through the colums of our paper, a few days ago, ample reasons fon change. ‘The directors have parted with a considwble por- tion of their stock at higher prices, so thathe stock- holders will have better chances to prodve the re- sult they have so long desired. The stk is now actually lower in the market price thart was be- dends, and were threatened to be sold at for the though the company have paid off those digations, (then greatly embarrassing its operatns), and have since then been enjoying a continul state of prosperity, and have continued to pay didends on all its stock, so that the company are ny placed | on a solid foundation, and are even ak to pay | a much larger dividend than they d yet the | market price of this stock ia actually wer now | than before the present directors were elted—and | why? Lccauve there is a great lack of coidence in | the direction, as now constituted, in manrespects. | The President of the company, Mr. Roberfchuyler, | s a skilful financier, it is true; but he hasis hands | | Manuf. of wool, » 9 $58,281 7 cotton 105 20,174 os silk . 400 122 435 ste flax 1” 17,201 Miscellaneous 21,129 10,601 fnlly occupied, so much so that he derives an in- come of over twenty thousand dollars a year in salaries from various companies in which he is president and manager—the Harlem, New Haven, Illinois, Jersey:railroads, and others; how, then, can the stockholders reasonably expect his undivided attention will be giveri to the Harlem, or even one fourth of his time. Such a thing is morally and physically impossible, when more than three-fourths of his time is occupied in other matters, unconnected with the Harlem company. The stockholders of this: company want, and have a right to claim, the undivided attention of the men they select; besides, Mr. Schuyler’s interest in the New Haven is very large, and the stockholders greatly disapprove of any members of the board being interested in other railroads, particularly where they are situated as the Harlem and New Haven are, and they never will be satisfied until the Marlem is freed from that antagonistical interest. We have often remarked that the New Haven Railroad directors ought not to be directors of the Harlem. The officers of the Harlem company, on paying the February dividend to the stockholders, made particular inquiries of many of the stockholders as to their residences, for electioneering purposes, to obtain from them the necessary proxies or power to vote for them at the coming election; which shows they are in a weak position, but we would advise the stockholders not to give any quthority to any one whatever to vote for them, but to be present at the election, and ex- ercise their own judgment, and beforehand to get the names of the present directors, so that it can be easy to distinguish who are to compose the new ticket. ‘The usual monthly report of the mining agent of the Great Northern Lead Company has been re- ceived by the directors, from which we make the following extracts:— The workings at both mines have somewhat im- proved; at Coal Hill, the ten fathom level, which was oor in my last report, is now worth $125 per fathom. The adit $80 per fathom; the stopes over the ten fathom level $150 par fathom; the stopes under the ten fathom level $100 per fathom; erystal shaft east $150 per fathom. At the Union mine, Collins’ shaft is worth $30 per fathom, ground hard; the end east of that, $100 per fathom; the stope, same level, $200 per fathom; the end west of this shaft, spots of ore; west of Vic- toria shaft, same level, large spots of ore—this end is rapidly improving; the end cast, same level, $40 per fathom, also improving. You will observe that the quantity of ground now working is increased Peaatlect month, and next month will show a larger increase. The section of workings at the Union mine is complete; that of Coal Hill nearly so; both will soon go forward; by their aid I trust my month- ly reports of the workings will be made more intelli- gible to you. The number of men working in these mines during the past month has been as follows: 3 smiths, 4 carpenters, 1 pitman, 1 timberman, miners, 51 laborers and strikers, 2 engineers and 2 teamsters—total 109. The consolidation of the central line of railroads through this State will require some very nice caleu- lations to adjust the value of the different roads. Take two of them, for instance, the Utica and Schenectady, and the Rochester and Syracuse. The first is seventy-eight miles long, of double track. The other will have two roads of single track, one of eighty miles long, the other of one hundred and four. Of course all the through business will be upon the short road, for passengers will not bear the cost, or lose the time in taking the long road. The capital | of the Utica road is $4,500,000, with a receipt of over $1,000,000, which is equal to something over twenty- | two percent on the capital. The capital and debt of the Rochester road, when the new track is finished, will be about $7,000,000; and the receipts amount to | something over fourteen per cent on the capital. The expense of operating is, of course, also mach in favor of the Utica road, and this difference will be increased when the new road is open. When the short road shall be double tracked, as it must be, there will be a further expenditure of at least a million of dollars, and it may be that the receipts will not be increased, ‘by reason of the business being principally confined to the short road. With these facts considered, upon what basis could thesa two rnada ha nnited 7 Thore are others upon the line that will present the same difficulties.

Breapsturrs.—Flour.—There was’ rather less activity and buoyancy in the market for State and Western prands. Shippers were indisposed to operate at the en- hanced rates quoted in our last, while Kastern and local jobbers curtailed their purchases considerably. On this ‘account, business was leas extensive; yet, the compara. tively light stock, and the extremely’ favorable foreign intelligenee. rendered holders quite confident in the sus: tenance of their claims. The day’s transactions embraced 9,000 bbls. superfine No. 2 at $4 26 a $4 3744; ordinary to good State at $4 6234 a $475, mixed to straight In- diana and Michigan at $4 €83¢ a $4 8712; common to good Ohio, $4 624, a $4 8734: favorite State, $4 75a $4872; fancy Indiana and Michi $4 8734 a $4 93%: fancy Genesee at $4 873g a $5 1249; fancy Uhio at 4 9524 a $b 1834; extra Genesee at $5 25 a + 8734; with extra Indiana, Michigan and Ohio at $5 12% a $5 75 | per bbi.

Rye flour was quiet, but stifil held at $3 75 for fine, and $4 for superfine, per bbi. Corn meal was plentier and cheaper. About 400 bbls. were procured at $8 for Jersey, and $3 4334 a $3.50 for Brandywine, per bbl. Wheat was in better demand for consimmption and shipment, at improved quotations. The arrivals and stocks’ of prime parcels were equally limited, and these being the most in re- quest, brought the greatest advance. Sales were made of 1,500 bushels hondsome Genesee white at $1 23 and’10,800 choice Western do. at $1 25, with 5,000 ordinary do, red (removed) at $1 08. Ryo was less freely offered, holders deeming the prevalent rates be- neath its value. A lot of 1,500 bushels, afloat, was dis- pored of at 0c. Barley was much depressed, by both the aeenmulating supply and the slack inquiry, It could not be sold above 4c. a 68c. per bushel. Oat# continued in fair demand, though some parties evinced an inclina- i i de til thy ning of tion te defer operating with feveuriurger quantities would arrive here than would be required, which would lessen | ‘The principa? sales were effacted at 442 a 4c. for | prices.

Males have been made of 64,000 bushels, at 57c. a 60c. for un- sound; Ole. a 63e. for mixed; 62c. a G4e. for white; 64c. for slightly injured yellow: and @5c, a Oe. for good to very prime do, Southern, per bushel. Old Western was nearly out of market. The last sale of Western mixed was made at C4c, per bushel. Corrre seemed pretty, brisk and steady. The operations of the day included 200 bags Java at 11%4c.; 1,200 do. Rio at 9c. a 93c.; and 400 do, St. Domingo (a description that has become very rare in first hands, whence large parcels have been recently sold for export,) at 8c. per Ib.
