THE BROADWAY POST OFFICE LETTER CASE—THE POLITICAL SQUABBLE ENDED. Before Justice Osborne. It will be recollected that just prior to the last fall election, a seizure of a lot of envelopes, containing tick- ets for voters, intended for the election, were made at the Broadway post office, and that Mr. Daniel E. Sickles was said to haye been concerned in the capture of said letters, in order that the public might not be misled by a spuri- | ous ticket. The trespass was brought before the magis- trate, and an attempt made to prosecute the defendants criminally. Several hearings were bad, but it was found very difficult to enforce the attendance of witnesses. Tho case was ye:terday set down fora farther hearing; and Mr. Harriott, proprietor of the Broadway post office, having been 'subpanaed, instead of appearing, sent the following letter to the magistrate:— Broavway Post Orrice, New York, April 22, 1853. ived your communication requirin my attendance asa witness, in the matter of the seizure o} circulars at my offic . You will remember, and it also appears by the records of the court, that in Jenuary last I made a complaint against D. E. Sickles for assault and battery; wi omplaint hav- n settled according to law, was di . Such being the case, I have no further criminal complaint to make become an instrament mere political revenge, I | have no symp lerd no voluntary ai | the prosecution now sought to be instituted. Under these cireumstances, 1 ba consulted cout as to whether it is my duty to appear and testify in thi matter, as it now stan Tam advised, that inasmuch ag no Sufficient complaint has yet heen made, there is no lawful authority requiring me to testify. And while com- munieating to you my determination to act in accordance | mith the instructions of my counsel, allow me to disclaim all intention of evineing the slightest disrespoct to your authority as a magistrate. Tam, with high personal regard, your most ebedient ser- vant, JAMES C. HARRIOPT, Proprictor. In this matter, the magistrate considers’ it somewhat | anglagous to that of the witness, John I. Hicks, who re- | refused to answer questi propounded tohim by Tillou, relative to the alleged bribery and_cor- ption charge pending against certain members of the Common Council. Justice Osborn therefore remarked that he did not deem it advisable or proper, as the case now stood, to take any further action in cofipelling the attend- ance of Mr. Harriott until the decision of the Court of Ap | peals, before which the case of Mr. Hicks was taken, is | rendered, which decision will be given, probably, in a | few days. | _ Violent Assault on a Police Oficer.—On Sunday evening, | Sergeant Crapet of the Seventeenth ward, witaessed two | young men named Wim. Tygh and Thomas McConlin, con- | ducting themselves in a very disorderly manuer, when he interfered and requested them to leave the vicinity, which they were annoying with their riotous conduct, | They re- fused to go, and immediately made a violent assault on he officer, tore his star from his coat and beat him in a shameful manner. Ex deputy sheriff Chase happen- ing to be near the scene of disturbance, came to the as- sistance of the policeman, and in so doing was struck vio- lently across the back of the neck with a club, and badly injured. Other officers came to their aid and the two | rowdies were arrested and conveyed to the station house, | and in the morning were taken before Justice Welsh, who | committed them to prison in default of bail, to answer the charge at court. | A Fraudulent Segar Operation.—Yesterday Officer Wil- | dey, of the Second District Police Court, arrested a Speniard named Miguil Brevant, of No 140 William street, on a warrant iseued by Justice Stuart, wherein the ac- | cused stands charged, with another man named Jose | Higus, with obtaining from James R McCullough, on the Zist instant, ten thousand segars, valued at $170. It seems that McCullough offered the segars for cash, and | Brevant said be would buy them, and induced MeQul- lough to bring them to the store kept by the accused. Higus then asked McCullough to accompany him to a place a short distance from the store, and before they re- turned Brevant had caused the segars to be removed from the store to some place uzknown to the complainant, who in payment for the sears was offered a promissory note at sixty days. It is now charged that the taking of the segars amounts to larceny, and Brevant, when brought before the Court, was locked up by the ‘magis- trate to await an examination, to, Court of Oyer Een, Judge Edwards and a Terminer. lde*men Peck and Doherty NOMICIDE. 26.—The interrogatories and cross interrozatories tobe used in the commissions issued to examine wit- nesses abroad in the case of Louis De Corn, charged with | | | | | | | | the murder of Eugene Melville, were handed to the Court for iaspeetion. nm: THE CONVICTS FITZGERALD AND NEAREY. here two uphappy men, convi ves.will be brought up fe ted of the murder of nce on Wednesda, s morting at 10 0’clock, to which time the cour: adjourned.

Bowery TuEaTRe.—The selections made for this even- ing by manager Stevens consist of the beautiful comedy of the ‘ Honey ” Mr. Eddy as Rolando, Mrs. Addams as Zamora. amusements will conclude with the “Monk and the Gipsy.” As the receipts are for the benefit of Mr. W. TT, Peterschen, the leader of the orches- ‘master: tra, who is a great favorite, it is presumed the house will be crowded. Adkins’ celebrated brass band will play sev- eral beautiful pieces of mus'c. Burton's TusaTre.—This place of amusement continues to be pipe hina by the admirers of good acting. The pieces selected for this evening are ‘ Civilization” and “Black Eyed Susan.’’ Those who may visit Cham- bers street to night may rest assured of being highly delighted by the performances, as the artists generally are of great dramatic celebrity. . Burton is a hest in himeelf, not to speak of Placide, Dyott, and other emi- nent actors. National THeatRe,—The production of the new piece called the ‘‘ Armorer of Tyre,’ has resulted very profit- ly for the manager of this theatre; indeed he has sree neither exertion nor outlay of money, in order that it should be put on the stage in splendid style. The scenery is beautiful, and the dresses and appointments rich and appropriate. It will be repeated to-night, to- gether with the farce called ‘Too Late for the Train.” ‘Watack’s THEATRE —The internal arrangement of this theatre is such as to command the respect of the visitera— the greatest attention to the comfort of the audienee is paid by civiland gentlemanly attendants, and the stage ma- nagement by Mr. Lester is capital. The pieces announced for this evening are, ‘Time Works Wonders.” ‘‘ Two Can Play at that Game,’’ and the ‘‘Iri-h Tiger.”’ Dr. Blake, one of the best comedians in the States, takes his benefit to-morrow evening. American Mcseum —The selections for this afternoon consist of the farce entitled *‘ Allow me to Apologise,’’ which will be followed by the ‘ Milliner’s Holiday,” and in the evening the beautiful drama called the ‘ Willow Copse,”” in which Mr. C. W. Clarke, an excellent come- dian, will sustain the leading character. Sr. Cuarues—The entertrinments at this establish- ment consist of the spectacle called the ‘ Mili‘ary Execu- tion,” with Mr. Cook and Miss Mitchell in the leading parts. This piece will be followed by ‘ Eveleen Wilson,” and the amusements close with ‘'To Paris and Back for Five Pounds.”’ Mr Pilgrim is a great acquisition to this theatre—he has ably dramatised several works, and we understand bis friends contemplate giving him a compli- mentary benefit—let him have one—he deserves it. Bowery Circvs.—Madi & Stone’s troupe of eques- trians appear to-night in a variety of exercises in the ring. The graceful equestrienne, Miss Rose Madigan, as also Mr. Hiram Franklin, who is considered, for his vault- ing. somerseting, and horsemanship, tobe inferior to none in the world, will appear. A visit to the Circus will am- ply repay those who admire equestrian sports. Cunisty’s Opera Hovse.—A fine programme is an- nounced for this evening, consisting of negro melodies, instrumentz! performances, and daneing. Woon's Mivsramis are attracting large audiences night: ly. The singing is good, and the instrumental music 2nd other features are nightly received with enthusiasm. Banvarp’s Hoty Laxp.—This beautiful panorama is visited by highly respectable citizens. The lecture is in- teresting ‘and instructive, and the illustrations are splen- ‘id.

Owens’ Atrrne Ramnres.—The Chinese Saloon is visited every evening by large audiences, who are attracted by the high character of theentertainment. It is both amu- sing and instrnetive.

McCready’s short engagement at the Howard Atheneum has been made the occasion for a very general expression of criti- cal opinion, as to her dramatic talent, voice and personal appearance, by the theatre going portion of our “solid”? neighbors, The impression which she bas produced is deciledly favorable. Her talent is considered to be of the highest order; and allare agreed in the assertion that her voice is very ine, her figure faultless, and her address la- dy-li This, for an actress fresh from the dra ving room, is very flattering, and givea promise that Mrs. Me- Cready is déstined to ‘star’ it.

Rnwors are rife of large quantities of gold being found throughout the western portion of the country.

The Joss of the steamship Independence had an unfavorable effect upon Nicaragua Transit, but it was merely tempo- a strong | rary, We understand this steamer did not belong to the company, and was about being withdrawn from the line. The books close to-morrow, for an election of directors for the ensuing year. A report will soon be made, show- ing the earnings and position of the company; and we learn that im June a dividend will be paid out of the net receipts of the past six monthe. At the first board today Nicaragua declined 3; per cent.; Morris’ Canal, 34 ; Reading Railroad, 34 ; Montgomery Mining, *{ ; Florence and Keyport, 4 ; Cumberland Coal, 134; Parker Vein, 134; Erie Railroad, 1 ; Har- lem, 3; ; Panama Railroad, 34. Delaware and Hudson went up 1 per cent; Canton Company, 34; Cary Improve- ment, 4; New Creek, 3; Harlem, preferred, +{; Buffalo and Rochester Railroad, 23. It appears by this that the depreciation has been pretty general. The bears seemed tobe the principal purchasers. The favorable turn in the money market has not had that influence upon the fancies holders have anticipated. Prices have advaneed in certain instances, but, compared with quotations cur- rent in February last, there is yet a wide margin for im- provement—much wider than will, in our opinion, be covered at present. Good stocks are high enough, and poor stocks are already selling for moe than they are worth, Notwithstanding this, we should not be surprised to see some of the fancies run up several per cent. It cannot, however, be otherwise than o temporary infla- tion, and those who avail themselves of it to clear out what they have on hand, or make contracts to deliver, will show their good sense. ‘The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port, today amounted to $144,113 16; payments, $82,727 €7—balance $0,958,287 72. The Freeman's Bank of Washington has exploded. We learn that there are no assets for the redemption of its notes. ‘As public attention has been turned with great inter- est to the interoceanic connection between the Atlantic and the Pacific, which is about to take place over the Isth- mus of Tehuantepec, we present the following statistics, as affording the most conclusive evidence that this route will prove, not only the shortest, but the most popular line of communication. Onan examination of the map of this enteresting portion of America, it will be seen that Minatalan, on the Mexican gulf, is about 800 miles north of San Juan de Nicaragua, and zearly 900 miles above that of Aspinwall, and that the city of Ventosa, on the Pacific, exceeds those distances from the eastern termination of the Panama and Nicaragua routes; consequently, with this great saving, travelling to California @nd the East Indies must follow, leaving to the Panama, as the most southern line, such intercourse as may be destined to and from South America. From ship navigation at Minata- lan, on the Gulf of Mexico, to ship navigation to Ventosa, on the Pacific, the distance is, by the surveys of Majo Bernard, 166 miles, and from Taltepec to Ventosa, in connection with light draught steamers, the land travel by railroad would be reduced to 104 miles, and the cost of a railroad of six feet track, between the latter points, is estimated at $5,861,170, while that of the longest line, which is the one ultimately to be made, would be $7,947,060. We also derive from the same source the annexed statements of comparative distances through the respec- tive routes to San Francisco i— From New York via Panama. Ditto via Nicaragua. Ditto via Tehuantepec It bas leng been understood that the George Law steam- ers are to run in connection with the Tehuantepec route, and without waiting for the construction of the pro- posed railroad ; that this connection will be formed as soonas the President sha!l intimate his views on this subjeet of almost vital importance in affording a more speedy communication between California andthe Atlan tic States. Towards the completion of the Tehuantepec road, the necessary amount of money has already been engaged, by American and European capitalists, whose intelligent foresight show them that there could be no in vestment which would be likely to prove equally pro. fitable. ‘The annexed statemen' exhibits the quantity and value of merchandise exported from this port during the week ending and including Saturday April 234, distinguishing the destination and extent of shipments to each place:— Commeance oF THz Port or New Yors—WEEKLY Exports, 4,092 miles, 531 LONDON, Pigs, Value.

In the face of this great excess, we see no {m- portant advance in the rates of foreign exchange or ex- tensive shipment of specie. This ia a very curious state of things, one which puszles bill drawers exceedingly. ‘We have been looking for large outward movement of ‘the precious metals, and of course an edvance in quota- tions of sterling exchange. Our anticipations have not yet been realized, and the season has advanced so far that balances may be extended and thetr disposition changed.. A fow weeks ago the position of financial affairs in Eag- land was such as to induce us to believe that ordera would come out by every steamer for the return of foreign. capital temporarily invested here. Since that time cir- cumstances have occurred on the other side of a char- acter to remove all such apprehensions, and strengthen: the opinion that what foreign capital we have will not only remain among us, but that it will increase as rapidily as it bas atany previous time. The reduetion im- the rate of interest ons pertion of the national debt of Great Britain is calculated to turn the attention of Bri- tish capitalists more directly to American securities; and! we have no doubt it will have a very favorable eflect, not only upon quotations for our stocks, but upon the demand. for them. The proceeds of importations from Great Bri¢ tain this spring probably have not been remitted to the extent anticipated, in consequence of this change in the position of financial affairs in England. We cannot ae~ count for the reduced rates ruling for exchange, and limited outward movement of specie, in any other satis- factory way, and are, therefore, disposed to accept thia yersion of the matter. It isa fact that, within the past week or two, the money market has been steadily but. gradually softening. We do not look for any reaction, but_on the contrary anticipate, before the expiration of the month of June, great ease and abundance in money matters, Stock “xchange. $2000 U£ 6's, 62,..83 11434 150 shy Cam Coal Co. 502g 600 US6's, "07..63 119% 50 do. 3B 505% 14000 Erie RRG Bis, £9 25 1000 Hud RR NBds,. 933¢ 150 1000N Ind RR Bda., 101% 200 do......b60 51%g 1000 N Ia RR Ba2d is 933g 50 Parker Coal Co s3 363 2000 Mins & Rock Riy- 2 WO esecees BBG. er Junction Bs.b30 98 35 28 shs Met’n bk.b10 109 100 7 Bank Commerce, 108% 40 00 20 Chath Bk. .ex div 1 10 Hanover Bank... 0934 40. do....siwk 9934 5 Nassau Bank..,. 100 100 Del & Hud Can +8 125 300 Morris Canal..03 200. do 100 N J Zine. 41 Harlem RR pref. 110 100 do. 240 Norw & Wore RR 57!¢ 200 do. 300 do......b00 58 100 do 100 Buf&Roe RR btwk 178 300 Monty’y ining... 85 Hud Riv RR,..83 739 250 Flor & Keyport. . 10 do : 200 50 225 100 890 50 do. b30 74: 5 Panama Railroad 125 100 eee e080 1245E do... 30 Sixth Avenue RR 118 . 61 120 Little Miami RR, 119 SECOND BOARD. $1000 NIaRR bs 2dis 9334 200shsCaryImCos60 14 20000 Mi tiv, 100 do 330 14 er June Bs, b36_ 98 5 sha Ohio Life &'I'r 10434 100 Morris Canal, b3 233, 100 24 b16 100 50 100 100 Montg’ry Mining 400 Vum Coal Co..... 5034 200 Phenix Mining Co 24°” 100 Long Island RR #3 ie Nic ic ae Co... 315% 61 Buf& Roch RR.. 178 20 ry! ‘alace.. 200 Ports’th D Dock 4 200 Cary Impt Co..b3 14 5.
