The fight in which he was red occurred after the extinguishment of the fire, and while the engines were returning home; and on that ground, therefore, the petitioner does not, in my judgment, present a claim which should be recog: ee or allowed.

At the meeting of the Board of Aldermen last evening, Comptroller Flagg, in accordance with a resolution adopt- ed in the Board on Friday evening, sent in a communica- tion in relation to the income ef real estate being placed in the city fund. The document was voluminous, and the following abstract embraces its principal features:— Annexed to this report, and marked “A,” isa state- ment made out Auditor, as full as it could be made from the in this department, showing the sums paid from the City Treasury for each’ parcel of real estate purchased, in each year, from January 1, 1844, to April ‘16th It’ will be obser that’ this statement furnishes no response to that part of the resolution requiring a statement of the amount of income derived from the real estate. ‘The reason is (the Comptroller says) that the real es- tate, in most cases, is purehased, and used for public purposes, and instead of yielding any income, is a con- stant drain on the Treasury, for repairs, assessments. Ac. In the list of purchases furnished is an item of $103,450, paid for sixty-nine acres on Ward's Island, and the books in this dey ent furnish only the fact that this sum was paid from the City Treasury. There is suother item of $6,600 paid for No. 210 Mott street, which lot was sold to N.C. Eldridge in 1850, for $4,800. In this case the City Treasury lost $5,600, and the Sinking Fund gains $4,800, whilst the tax payers of the whole city lost by the operation $800, In 1852 the city purchased No. 49 Beekman street for $17,000. This lot has a front on Ann street (No. 79), which has been rented, extending sixty feet back, for $250 per annum, for fifteon years. In this case the city pays for the sixty feet thus rent: d the sinking fund gets $260 rent. The Corporation paid to the State $30,000 for relinquishing to the city the arsenal lot. This sum was paid out of the City Treasury. A part of this property hes been used as a city armory, and the residue has been rented to the New York and New Haven Railroad Company for $6,000 per annum. This rent is paid into the sinking fund. In 1850, there was paid from the City Treasury for the Fort’ Gansvoort property the eum of $13,645 55. A portion of this property has been leased to the Hudson River Railroad Company for an annual rent of $6,192, which is paid into the sinking fund. ‘There may be other eases of similar character, where in- justice would seem to have been done in the adjustment ‘of the account between the treasury proper and the sinking fund. But ina subsequent part of this report it will be shown that the finance department has merely followed the law, and the ordinances in adjusting the accounts between the sinking fund and the treasury. Statement B shows the amounts paid from the City Treasury for docks and slips from January 1, 1844, to April 16th, 1853. Also the sums received for rent of docks and slips in each year, for the same period, and applied to tke sinking fund. The income in- cludes the rent of docks constructed previous to 1844, as well as since. The total sum expended sinee 1844, and paid from the Treasury, is $1,118,922 21, The re- yenue on all docks and piers for the same time is $811,799 39. The Street Department alone could furnish’ a statement of the particular piers which have been constructed and extended nince 1844, and thus afford the means of ascertaining the proportion of rent derived from the expenditures from the treasury for docks since 1844; and it is difficult for that depart- ment to get the culare. The books of the auditor only afford the means for giving the abstract contained im statement B. The Comptrolier, after quoting parts of ordinances and reports of the Common Counell, &c., to sustain tho ac- tion of the Finance Department, concludes :— Itis obvious that in the purchase and sale of real tate by the Corporation, the treasury is the sufferer, and the sinking fund the gainer. This can be in a measure ob- visted.by confining the purchases of real estate to the quantity actually required for public use, and leaving no Surplus to be sold or rented for the benefit of the sinking fund. It is worthy of notice, however, that in one in- stance the sinking fund hasbeen greatly the sufferer by an operation in realestate. The tenth section, title one, the ordinance of 1544, declares that “the buildings included in the establishment called the Alms- house, at Bellevue, together with the lots of land, and water rights attagbed thereto, when sold, and the rents thereof, when leased,” shall be pledged and appropriated to the sinking fund. Forty lots of land at the foot of Twenty-third street, on the East river, worth $80,000, ac- cording to an estimate of a committee of the Board of Aldermen, are to be rold. and instead of bavine. the ayaila lic creditors on the Juvenile Arylum. In this case the sinking fund surrenders @ vainable property for « lien on lands, and an asylum on the island, which are unavail- able to meet a “4 demand.

In baat Gage of the numerous publications made re- ting the swindling operations of Chauncey Larkin, Col. Fillmore, Col. Polk, Lieut. Perry, Lieut. Sears, it. Washington, with about s dozen other aliases, a Mr. William Brown, proprietor of a jewellery store in Bal- timore, arrived in this city yesterday, purposely to see Larkin, and ascertain if he was the same individaat who, ou the 25th of March last, defrauded him out of jewelry to the amouut of $550, under the following circum- stances :— Last month, on the day above mentioned, Latkin called at Mr. Brown’s store, and represented himself to be C. W. Washington, lieutenant in the United States army, andin the course of conversation mentioned the names of many fiatlenen in the army who were well known to Mr. jrown. In addition to the above, Larkin took from his receipt from the Citizens’ Bank, showing a de- ‘a draft of $8 000 to the credit of ‘Lieut. Washing. ton. This fact appeared to éstablish in the mind of Mr. Brown that Lieut. W: ntleman of means, and he therefore proposed to make for the pur- pose of making a few presents, und selected some dia- mond rings, and other articles, amounting to $550, and in payment therefor gave Mr. Brown a eheck, of which the following is a copy -— eooosececoeocooesseeceecosssoos Barrimore, March 25, 1853.

WASHINGTON, eecceecoso ces ce cece seeoasssoe8® On the receipt of the check, the jewelry was delivered to Larkin, who left the store, bidding Mr. Brown a very good day, and haying a horse and wagon already in wait- ing, drove off; and that was the last Mr. Brown saw of the assumed Lientenant Washington, until yesterday he recognized the prisoner Larkin to be the same individual. When Mr. Brown appeared at the cell door, a mutual re- cognition took place, and Larkin exclaimed, with » smile, ‘Ah! Mr, Brown, is that you? I done you Brown that time, didn’t I?” The cool impudence of the prisoner astonished Mr. Brown, who was also compelled to smile at the perfect noncbalance of the rascal. The draft of $8,060, deposited by Larkin in the bank for collection, was a fraudulent affair, done merely to obtain a receipt from the bank, whereby to enable ‘him to practine his decep- tion on Mr. Brown, and effect the swindle, as above stated. Larkin has been fully committed for grial by Justice Welsh, and will be sent to the Tombs this day, there to remain until called up for trial in the Court of General Sessions. / ARREST OF A SWINDLER—CAUTION TO LADIES WHO DEAL IN BARGAINS. On Setnrday afternoon, a man, calli nick H. Cullen, waa Fourth ward, on ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° eoccsccecs himself Domi- rested by officer Knowles, of the of defrauding Mrs. Bridget Me- han, of No. 62 It street, out o: $5, under the fol- lowing circumstances :—It seems that, about six weeks ago, Cullen called on Mrs. Mehan, at her residence, and asked her if she wished to purchase rome chesp gro: ceries, at the same time exhibiting a sample of-tea, cof fee, and sugar. The price asked per pound for the ‘arti- cles, like samples, were, in the estimation of Mrs. Mehan, astonishingly cheap, and, of course, like most women, ever ready fora bargain, she gave an order for fourtecn pounds of sugar, ten pounds of coffee, and seven pounds of tea. The next day Cullen brought the articles, and made out a bill for $6 22, at the same time removing the tep of each package, and exhibiting au excellent article, better, in fact, than the sample thown the day before, Mrs. Mehan felt satisfied with the bargain, but, not being able to make change, ahe gave Cullen $5, and told him to call the next day for the balance. Oh! no matter, said Cullen, 1’l1 just call in when I am coming this way, in a few dayn. The bargains were very carofully placed away by Mrs. Mehan, and the next day she more fully examined them, when, to her surprise, on turning the tea from the bag, she discovered that not more thn two inches of tea was on the top, the balance of the bag contained # worth- less mixture resembling burnt beans ground. The other tw bags were fixed in a like manner, with a aample of footion the top. Mra. Mehan finding herself defrauded, id the bage aside, with a fall determination to pounce upon the rogue at some future day. On Saturday, sure enough, Mrs. Mehan met the accused in the street, when she s6.zed hold of him, ealled for the police, and had him taken to} the Tombs, before Justice Osborn, where Mrs. chan made ber affidayit of the fact; this, together with Mechanics’ Lien Law. COURT on: COMMON PLEAS. in the city of New York,” passed in 1861, the claimant | whose notice of claim is first filed with the county clerk, | is entitled to be first paid in full out of the funds in the owner’s bands, (due to the contractor,) and in prefer ence to lien holders whore notices are subsequently filed. But a subsequent lien holder, who desires to sens a rior lien, either by denying 'y or amount, or Srerring that, citough Tt be first in time, it is subardi- nate in equity, must become an actor, and insti- tute pr tor that purpose. In proceedings under the act to foreclose a lien, it is not necessary for the claimant to make these who haved | fled rations and ac. aired liens, subsequently to the filing of the claimant's Rotice, partion to the proceeding. It reems that a claim- ant is not bound to make lien holders, whose liens are prior to his own, parties to his proceeding, unlem he reeks to impeach’ their validity or den amount thereof, or allege vome higher equity. But if they are not made partics, the whole amount of such liens will be allowed to the owner (as sums te be first paid out of the fund in his hands) before he can be required to pay anything to such subsequent claimant, and the latter Till not be permitted to test their validity or amoant. This action was commenced by proceedings taken in pur- suance of the ‘ Act for the better security of mechauics, &c.,”” passed July 11, 1861, against the defendant, as the owner of certain buildings in the city of New York. Un- der the order (made on the appearance of the parties) for the joining of issues, the plaintiffs allege that there is due to them the sum of'$264 20 for work, labor and :na- terials furnished to Messrs. Judd and Newton, con- tractors with the defendant, towards the erection of the buildings in question; and that {a pursuance of | the act above referred to, they did, on the 29th of July, 1852, file with the county clerk the notice required by act to create alien, The answer, after denying that the work, &c., were furnished as alleged, and the value thereof, avers that besides the notice filed by the plaintiffs, and after filing such notice, viz.: on the 11th and 17th of August, and 20th September, 1852, various other similar notices were filed by other persons named in the answer, claim- mounts, also therein specified, the aggre- gai of which claims (the plaintiffs’ being in- cluded) is $1,005 16, and that at the time of the filing and docketing such liens, the whole amount re maining due to the contractors, (Judd and Newton,) under his contract with them, was $417 20. Tho de fendant thercupon insists that plaintiffs are entitled te only a rateable proportion of the sum of $417 20, after deducting the defendant’s costs and ex; in this ac- tion, in the ratio which the amount that may be found due to them from the contractors bears to $1,005 16, ‘the whole amount for which notices of claim have been 853 and he prays that the rights of all parties may be protected, and he may be discharged from sll liability to the plaintiffs, and also to the other parties interested. The Plaintiffs now move to strike out this portion of the answer as irrelevant, and for other relief. * * * There may be cases in which prior equities among the lien holders, existing independently of the statute, may disturb'a preference for in the mere order of time, if those who shall claim such prior equity take pro- per measures therefor in due season, asx where the contractor himself has filed notice of claim for the whole balance due upon the contract, while he had himself made default of payment ¢o the sub-con. tractors, laborers, materials, men, &c. I cannot doubt thatin such case they might successfully invoke the equitable powers of the court to prevent the defeat of fidas acquired by them, altheugh filed subsequently to his, and require the owner to apply the fund to their benefit. But until they do take such affirmative action, and establish suck higher equity, the prior claimant must be first paid in full, * * * *' It appears by the com- plaint herein that Judd and Charles Newton aze the contractors with the owner, (the devendant,) and that the plaintif—a’ claim is for work done, and materials furnished, upon their employment, and in virtae of the plaintiffs’ agreement with . ‘Every fact, therefore, which is material to the inquiries whether Judd and New- ton ought to be made parties defendant, appears on the face of the complaint. Nor is any additional fact mate- rial to the question stated in that portion of the answer which the plaintiffs seek to strike out. If the defendant wished to insist that the contractors were neces ties to the final determination of the matters invelved, Pitcors to me tkat it weuld be quite sufficient to raise thansint.in be arar.ob.abieetion.te £88 Plain, brought before the Court. All that is said in the subsequent liens is therefore irrelevant. If the objections were raised in the manner # , the would proeeed at his peril; andif he did so with- out making the contractors parties, the question would, when the case comes on, be before the Court for determi- nation; and should the Court then see that complete jus- tice cannot be done without having the contractors brought in, and that the statute in question admits of such a course, there is doubtless power given by the Code for the necessary direction to that end. Whether the de- fendant shall be permitted to amend his answer. and raise the objection in this case, if he desire to do so, must be left to. future motion for that purpose. The plaintiffs are entitled to be heard on such a motion. They will per- haps insist that the defendant is not acting in good faith —that the contractors admit their claim to be due, and are willing to have consented that the defendant should pay it. In such case leave to amend would probably be withheld, since the inference would be warranted that de- lay and vexation were the defendant's object. The mo- tion of the plaintiff must be granted; but as the questions involved are, I think, raised in faith, and appertain to the construction and effect of a new statute, the plain: Line’ cont of motion, fixed at $10, may abide the event of e suit. wer City Bible Society. A meeting of this association was held on Sunday even- ing, in the Sixteenth Street Baptist church, for the pur- pose of presenting the objects and claims of the society to the public. The services of the evening opened by the choir sing- ing the 404th hymn:— “ God, in the gospel of his Son, Makes his eternal councils known; Here love in all its glory shines, And truth is drawn in fairest lines.” The Rey. Mr. Manriw then offered up an eloquent prayer. The pastor then introdueed WaRREx Hunt, President of the Bible Society, who made a few remarks in reference to the society. The Bible Society had in their employ seven or eight colporteurs, who distributed Bibles among the poor of the city. In consequence of some circum. stances, no collection had been taken up for some time. ‘They endeavored to make a collection of $2,500, each person paying $25. Mr. Jounson was then introduced by the President. He made some remarks in relation to the extent of his labors in the Eleventh ward. His situation was a glorious one; it was his delight to try to bring sinners to repent- ance. To bring the poor from a life of sin it did not require a mon of learning, but one with a kind heart, who could sympathise with those poor creatures. He had visited every month about six hundred families. He was the means of bringing a great may people to the house of the Lord. They were determined to go from door to door; no difficulty deterred his associates from their daty. ‘object was a good one, and he gloried in it. ne Courortrcr from the Fourth ward next addressed the congregation. His mission, he said, was in the Fourth ward, which was a hard one, indeed. Some time ago he saw & number of small children, playing in the streets, cursing and swearing. He spoke to a friend, and asked him if it would be practicable to gather those children into a school, where they could be taught te read and write, This friend immediately hired a room, bought books. and received «mall presents of clothing for the ragged children. They wanted more help éor those poor, unfortunate children that crowded the streets, This school was now in # flourishing eondition; yet they required more aid. Mr. MARTIN then addressed the meeting. He began b: saying that the band of God was quick and powerful. It was to Christians an unspeakable and inexhaustible plea- sure. What made them differ from the savages of the eastern and western continents ’ It was,the Bible. He had seen the Indians of this country in their barbarity— he had seen the merchant princes of New York rolling in wealth and enjoying themselves with all that wealth could attain. What, then, the differente ia the condition of the wild Jndian and the people of this country? It was the Bible. Where it goes, thore civilization is sure to follow; where it waw read in churches they enjoyed the greatest liberties. He then spoke of the number of foreigners that came to this couatry. They came for either good or evil. They could not safe unless the word of God was instilled into their minds. Those people came here, and we must tench them or they will teach us. He feared that they had not considered the great work that was before them. God was sending pone here by the thousands. There was moro work in thie city for missionaries than in any other place in the world. Five hundred dollars would do more good here than one thousand dollars would in China, Siam or In. dia. Charity should begin at home. It was said the Roman Catholic portion ¢f our community could not be induced to read the Bible, or become converted; but he believed they could by mildness and persuasion. | He as- certained these facta by once hiring a servant girl who was a Catholic anda Jesuit. He asked her which was the best religion, and if she would show him the best way to heaven he would embrace the Catholic faith. She immo- diately tried to do #0; but he showed her that her opin iona were direetly opposite the doctrines of the Catholic Bible. She soon found out thet she had been long de- ceived; and, to make a story short, she became Protestant, and listens to the Bible being road every evening. They had in their employ eight colporteurs, whore felaries snd expenses aid et cone —_ more than , ® sum of money many prea in the city get for one year’s labor. There was large field of labor fog them, but they could not work in those death of the pen: time of the pensioner’s death to dren.) He holds, it is said, in sion law makes provision that arrearages may go ,to ndehildren as an inheritance, and fortifies this view reference toa clause of the jaw of 1832, or that of 14D, the strict letter of. which, in his estimation, re- quires the proof to be made by the soldier himself.’ He has not, however, overruled former constructions, allow- ing the children to make the proof, if T comprehend the decision properly. ‘The pension agents were very anxious for his (Mr. Wal- do's) appointment, as he certainly gave very general sa- tisfaotion to them as chairman of the Committee on Re- yolutionary Pensions, in which position he was at liberty to exercise his discretion, founded on the facts involved in the claim, no general law or laws operating to bar a claim in Congress, the justice of which could be clearly made manifest. Now, however, his position, it seems to me, is very different. ‘He has no right to consult his dis- position to be liberal, the laws pointing out the specific cases only in which he is to be at liberty to grant pension awards. The decisions upon the point involved in the particular case above referred to, are said to have been exceedingly various. The action of the Secretary of the Interior upon this appeal is looked for with great anxiety by the agents, as, if sustained, it will serve greatly to decrease the ameunt of money paid out of the treasury on revolu- tionary pension claims; certainly, in the next four years. ‘Some even removals have been made in the Pension Office up to this time, as many friend of the administra tion being provided for. ‘Bhe Commissioner is using a printed circular of notification that the decapitated’s ser- vices are no longer required. ‘This is considered ominous of very extensive removals there, which is probable; more especially as many of the present clerks of that bu- reau are dreading lest a law passed at the last session of Congress may be construed into av ordor to dispense with the services of more than half the clerks, permanent and temporary, now employed there, sioner,’ then the arrearages due at tho | to them, (the chil: 3 decision, that no pen- Stock Sales, PHILADELPHIA, April 18.—Reported by Keen & Taylor.— First Board—$2000 State 5’s, s5wn. 9644 ; 1000 Lehigh 6's, 983¢; 800 Reading Bonds, ’70, b4. 89: 2000 do, b5, 89; 4000 Schuyl Nav 6's, ’82, b5, 82; 6000 State 4’s, 06%: 148 ahs Girard Bank, ¢, 145¢; 30 Penna RR.

Disasters, dic. Ship MarvHa’s Vinuyarp, (before reported ashore) was tewed across the Spit on Sunday, by the towboat Titan, but having lost rudder and started her stern butts, she will probably be abandoned. Snr Persian. from Havre for this ashore on Fire Island on Friday night, has gone high up on the beach, so that her cargo can be dischat into carts. The passengers and their baggage have all been landed safely, and were to be forwarded in an extra train to the city yesterdy afternoon. The ship makes little if any water. but should the easterly wind continue, she will no doubt bilge. Smr Jessorr, Cobb, hence for New Orleans, dragged her anchors and went ashore on Sunday morning, duriog the E gale, on the rocks near the Narrows, Staten Island; but was got off at high water by-steamtug Titon, and towed to the city, Smp Cansoca, at Philadelphia from San Frincisco via Rio, encountered heavy westerly gales most of the pas sage; three of four of the crew who had the fever died on the way home. Sur PRosrero, at Boston from Valparaiso, saw 30th ult, lat 23 N, lon 53, a mainmast and main yard; the mast was broken seven or eight feet below deck, was painted white, and had iron bands; the lower part was burnt to a coal; the yard was painted black, had iron eye-bolts, with rods of iron for jack stays; the cross-treas were large, and clumsily made; the boom irons and chain slings were fast. ‘The yard wae apparently about 70 feet long, and large for ite length. Supposed they had not been long in the water, and judged they belonged to an English or French vessel. Wnatren Frances, of New Bedford, before re lost on Mangea Island, went ashore in a calm, been with her cargo sold by auction, and was purchased by the mate for $600. Capt Swain was endeavoring to ob- tain a vessel at Honolulu to take forward such portions of the cargo as might be saved; when he left the wreck the aad (about 25,000 Ibs.,) and 800 bbls oil had been saved.
