HE ART UNION INVESTIGATION. Highly Interesting Proceedings. Testimony Relative to Advertising, dic, Sie., dite Before Hoa, D. B, Taylor, B, M. Champlin, and A, M. Clapp. Arzu 3.—Pursuant to adjournment, the committee net this morning, at the Astor House, at 11 o'clock, Hon, D. B. Taylor in the chair. JOSMPH MONK FURTHER EXAMINED BY MR. SIIANNON. Witness—I want to explain a discrepancy in the date; stated that a resolution was passed on Ist June, 1850, in regard to the appointment of Col, Warner as Actuary; find it was on the 16th of May instead of June; a reso- lution was offered by Mr. E. C Benedict on the 16th May, 1850, according to the memorandum before me; Colonel farner entered upon the duties of his office on the Ist of Duly, 1€50; 1 alo stated yesterday that Mr. ustia told me there would be a body of men at he meeting at Metropolitan Hall to vote down ny opposition to the election of the new committee; it poay be necessary, as the case progresses, for the purpose pf sustaining my own testimony, to state by whom that was to be carried out; Mr. Austin told me hat Marshail 0. Roberts, who had a line of steamers, to have the men at Metropolitan Hall; I was asked esterday whether Col. Warner had received a oney stated by me; in July, 1549, a resolution a8 passed by the executive committee of the Art Union fin about these words :—‘‘Resolved, That until the further der of the Committee of Management, the same of compensation which was paid, or agreed last be, aud to be placed tary, for the pur- the services of clerks in conducting the E institution; those are the woods as ear as I can rocoliect; in accordance with that resolu- ‘ion, from lat of August until the 31st December of that ear the sum ef £3 was placed in the hands of ‘olonel Warner for that object; that instead of being the mount of salary paid, or agreed to be paid, on the Ist of May, the actual amount was but $200 month. Q.—De you know of any other ot the Committee of Ma- - , during any time that you were clork of the ‘Art Union, receiving any compensation? A.—I do. Q—State whom, when, and the amount. A.—Mr. W. . Hoppin the editor of the Bulletin, Mr. William ‘Alem Butler, Mr. Evert A. Duyckinck, Henry J. ymond, of the Times, and Frederick A. Coe; these lare all members of the Committee of Management; ‘Mr. Hoppin received $500 for editing the Bulletin, and jc which he presented and which he claimed to jbave te literary men; Mr. Butler has charged and re- © for contributions to the Bulletin, the amount of ‘which I cannot say without reference to the books, but it lean be ert A. Duyekinek was the publisher per, and received compensation for publica- peper; I cannot state the amount; he was editor of the Literary World; Mr. H. Raymond re- ceived, for inserting an advertisement worth about $3, publishers’ prices; upwards of $100; Mr. Coo, alo a member of the Committee, who is now present, called at ‘the fallery of the office of the Lustitution in the year '49 or '60, I thivk, and stated to Col. Warner, the cor- responding seeretary, that he was about taking a jaunt into the country. and that in his journey he ‘would stop and see ail the secretsries and ‘spur’ them op ; Col. Warner told him he would be glad if he would do so ; after the lapse of a month orso Mr Coe returned, and'stated that he had called upon these secre- taries wherever he could find them, at the places where he was parsing, and that he had ozcasionally gone out of his direct route to find others; and that this was an ex tra expense to him in his travelling expenses; and stated ‘the amount which it had cost him, and claimed and re- coived his expenses. The President—The next question is, as to the loose Aisbursements of the accounts. J Witneas—At or about the close of each year the trea- surer rendered his accounts of disbursements to a com- mittee, who wore appointed to investigate the same, to see if they were correct. The usual way of investigating these accounts, or the manner iu which ithas been done, waa by the producing his ledger or book ofac- neountty ate DUE, the same ia the bands of one of the members of the committee; the treasurer would have his vouchera before him, and would call off the amounts to the member of the committee, who would check the amount called off by the treasurer without seeing the voucher; I have also known and seen vouchers of the ‘treasurer which never passed through the usual form of scrutiny, it being necessary before a bill can be paid that it should pass the finance committee, until which time it was not legally chargeable inst the institution; the President (Mr. Cozzens) has drawn money from the institution on such illegal voucher; I say voucher now; I have a memorandum below, and can give you the particulars if you wish it. {Witness retired for the purpose of procuring docu- ments.} ‘The counsel for the petitioners called for the reports of the Art Union, which were produced. ‘xamination resumed—On the first day of October, Mr. Corzens gave a receipt to the treasurer, in these words, ‘Received, New York, October 1, 1849, from G. W. Austin, $100, for advertising and ‘so forth,” which bill was not passed by the executive or finance committee; that ia signed A. M. Cozzens; on or about the z4th December, 1 Mr. Cozzens received from the 1840, treasurer $146 50, which he alle; that he had paid for | ia Phx pe of adverti ia delphia, and thero is no the expenditure attached to the receipt;fin the same year, the date of which 1 cannot fix, Mr. Cozzens received $265 for the following items:-—Eight priats of Erregone and Anabelle, $22 50; G. V. Vaticuno, $104, without specify: ing what for; another item is advertising in sundry papers, $84, without saying whut for; advertising O'Hara, $20; the next is paid for a pedestal, $25, ‘hero had been nu- merous billa paid by the committee which have not been regularly audited; the bill of $100 was never passed: 1 only state at the present time that the $100 was im- properly passed; the following amounts bave been paid without being audited :—A bill of Sarony & Major, $262 50; Childs & Co., an engraving or etching for the’ Bulldin, $35. In regard to the justice of these accounts, one of them, the $100 paid to Mr. Cozzens, that amount, as I have’ been informed by the treasurer, Mr. Austin, was paid for eight dofen of champagne furnished at an enter- tainmeat in September, 1849, and this was charged to the advertising account ir. Austin told me that in the presence of othe i we were not advertising; on 30th of August, 1850, or about that time, Mr. Austin, the treasurer, par. in his own name, from Leroux & Vitlot, a bust ington, for which, it appears, he paid $50; the bill was made out in Austin’s name, which was not pre- sented to the finance or executi committees, neither was it preseated until the examining committee met to examine the treasurer's accounts, when it was presented by those who acted on the committee, and instead of being charged to the proper account—the account of works of art—it was charged to the building account or repairs for Duilding; WH. Smith bad a contract to lay a new floor in the gallery, for which he charged $815 25; his bill was ned i og individual member, instead of by the com. ‘ittee Coarens, the president, has repeatedly passed bills in the same way, without sending them before the committee, snd I can particularise them if necessary; several thousands of dollars haye been so passed; accord: ing to the constitution of the by-laws and charter, the treasurer is required to keep proper books of account for the several specific charges against the institution; he has kept them incorrectly, and charged them under dif- ferent fends to which they properly belonged; proper expenses, chargeable to the institution, have been placed ander improper heads—for instance, any item that could not be welt explained, or which would not look well in the treasurer's statement, would be charged to advertising, in bulk; in speaking of the amount paid to the editor of the s, Mir Raymond, { havea copy of it in my hand, which i+ as follows; 1 want to read it off myself :—Daily Times for advertising in circular, &e., $115 02; postage, New York Post Office, $2.6 87—amounting to $iv4 89. ‘The Prestdemt—Was this charged as paid to Mr. Ray- snond? A.—Yes; he claimed to have done printing at that time; this advertising was in the pepers, but charged as virculers; the paper 1 hold in my band is an extract from the minutes; at the time this expenditure was made there was no authority for making it; I know that no drawing took place in 1851, and that no drawing has taken place since, and that the property was sold by auc- ticn in December. Q—What do vou keow relative to the sale of the pro perty in this instit A.—The property purchased in 1851 was sold in 1852 4 of being distributed, it was sold about the middh of December, 1852; the pre broaght within a trifle of » bat it originally cost; the Ly C0 136,000, and it sold within a trifle of that amoy ig to the published reports of the committee; the property consisted principally of pictures and paintings; there were also two pieces of statuary sold. The Presideut—Do you intend to go on with what has en done with the money ’ hannon—No, Sir, that is for them. se—In the latter part of tho year 1551 some few subseriptions were received for the jullowing year, and | eary in the year 1852 some more were received. ' The amount of subscription was placed in my hands. v proceeds of 21 subscriptions, amounting to $i mo should not be mixed up with the re it was thought that tha to the subseribers ; we refus eive any more sut scriptions after that time until the d a the courts of law should haye been declared ; | received orders not to receive any furthor subscriptions ; after the de. | cision in the courts of law, which ‘was adverse to | io Institution, other names were entered for that year, aT have been informed by George W. Austin, and EB, | ‘orwin, clerk in the office of the Commissionors of | the Almshouse. Mr. Corwin told me that he attended the meeting from a private note sent to him by Col. War: ner, A meeting was accordingly held'at the committeo room, in Mercer street, which wes attended by about welve members; E. B. Corwin told me this, and he said he attended with the rest; Corwin was a member for 1862 J wish to state further that no public novice was given that subscribers could have an opportunity of re newing their subscriptions if they desired ‘to do so Yor the year 1862; 1 made that, complaint to Mr. Austin at that'time, and I put in my claim to have my name put down to renew my subscription and I was refused; he re- fused me, he said, because I knew the constitution, char. ser and by laws; and that if I neglected to avail myself of iy privilege I had nobody to blame but myself; this con- versation was immediately after the puSlication in the Evening Mirror, in 1863. Q.—Doe you know of any other private letters than the one to Mr. Corwin being sent out ’ ‘A.—No; I vas not present at the meeting. Q—Staie the manner in which the Treasurer of the Art Union presented a statoment of the affairs of that in- stitution J. W. Fallerton—The Treasurer's reports will speak for themselves. Witness—The Treasurer would condense his items, and read them off at the annual meeting; that report of the ‘items referred to in that report it was the province of rahe examining committee to look into; in the year 1850, { think, the Treasurer's report was referred to'an andit ing committee, whe certified the same to be correct, and Iknow, of my own knowledge, of items and youch- era bei included in that astatemeat whish w “| pot ia temo at tho time the coport was signed; I authority of the institution. or the person wi justly entitled to it; this was about or just before the time of the distribution. Cross examined by Mr. Futtenton—My connection with the Art Union ceased, I think, about the Ist of August, 1852; I am friendly to the institution ;1 am unfriend); enly'to those who have conducted themselves improper- ly; I have had difficulties with some of the members of the committee; I have made a claim against the coumit- tee for extra services, and there is # suit now pending ia relation to that claim, I do not wish to go into my private offs Q—What ia the amount of the bill you have presented? Mr. Suannon objected. Mr. FULLERTON Segkt it was pertinent, for the wit- pess bad threatened to injure the Art Union in every pos- sible manner, if his bill was not puid. ‘Wrrnies (very much excited)—Never, so help me God ! ‘The CuaiRaan thought such a proceeding was aot por- tipent. Q.—What is the amount of the bill presented ? A.—In the neighborhood of $500, 1 * Q.—Is that the bill? A.—Yes, and I wish to have it copied on the minutes * Mr. FuLtLKnToN—As Mr. Raymond is present, and sails with the Arabia to-morrow, and if we do not examine him now we shall not be able to procure his testimony, T hope, therefore, that the committee will postpone the cross-examination of this witness tor the present, and allow me to cal! Mr. Raymond, ‘The committee acquiescing in the proposition of the learned counsel, Mr. Henry J, Rayonp was called, and having been sworn, deposed as follows;—I am the editor of the Daily Times; | do not remember the bill of $440 against the Art Union presented and in 1851; I had a demand im that year against the Art Union, We had a demand, the firat dated December, 1861, for a few dollars for advertising, against the Art Union; from that time till about two years forward up to February lust, there were sundry charges against the Art Union for advertising in the Times; were twelve or thirteen charges for different items of advertising, each one of which was charged at the regular advertising rates of the paper, and nothi: more; the aggregate amount was $132 and some od cents, and that, so far as I know, or have any reason to believe, is all the money ever paid for: advertising to the Times by the Art Union; there was another charge against the institution, I think, in 1851, for a service which 1 sha}! have to explain in detail a little; the President of the Art Union, Mr. Cozzens, came to me at my office some time in 1851--I cannot remember when—and wished to know what would be the most economical way of issuing an appeal to the country on behalf of the Art Union, in order to fill up its subscription books before the day of distribution. We talked over several different ways, and I finally told him of a way that bad been adopted by the proprietors of Harper’s Magazine, in connection with another newspaper establishment, to issue upon the same sheet, dividing the expense a prospectus of each. (Mr. Cozzems objected to the evidence, and the committee noted the objection.] I told Mr. Cozzens that I wai to issue s prospectus of the Daily Times news| that the appeal of which he spoke might be pl the same placard as that; Mr. C. asked what tl of that would be; I replied to him that we would charge him simply one half of the expense of the white paper used, making no charge for composition, presswork, or anything else; he then asked what would’ be the aggre- gate amount; I told him it would depend entirely upon the number of eopies printed, and that we should not print less than probably 20,000, and that the paper would srobably cost in the neighborhood of a cent a sheet; there was some further conversation as to the style thin placard should be printed, and I then told him that we would insert the mutter in the Weekly Times, which would be sent out as a specimen number, and that if he referred to do so, we would put the Art Union’s appeal in that weekly paper, and they might purchase, at one cent €ach, ax mavy copies of that paper as they chose, for weekly distribution, and that we would then put the same appeal on the back of the placard, which was a leaf of the daily paper, without any charge whatever; hecon- luded to do s0: that was the arrangement made; we fur- nished theza with 11,800 copies of the weekly paper; the President desired them to be sent to the subsoribers of the Art Union of the‘previous year, in order that they might be retained by them for the year 1851, and were deposited in the port office, and their postage paid; we also furnished them, or sent to their subscribers, and postmasters throughout the United States, 16,993 copies of the daily paper containing the circular,’ for which we made no charge whatever; we sent ina bill to them for those copies, about 28,000'in all, amounting to $118 2-100; and that amount, together with the $132 for advertiring, already specified, is all, so far as I know or believe, that the proprietors of the Times, or any one of them, ever received from the Art Union for services ren- dered; I wentioned to the Prerident at thetime, that the law required that the postage should be pre-paid upon all papers sent out, and the postage would vary according to the weight of the paper, and he desired me to sient to that matter at the post office, as we were sending there regularly; {did so, and paid ‘their share of the pos on the 28,000 copies of payers, amounting to $286 87-100. which was refunded tome on presenting the Postmaster’s bill to the Art Union Committee; those are all the pecu- niary matters I have ever had with the managers of the Art Union; I was present at the last annual distribution at Metropolitan Hall; I think it was in 1850; 1 believe Mr. Cozzens presided; remember that a motion was made that, the seven retiring members of the committee be re-elected; the motion was wade by some one in the audierce, and put by the President. Q—State if an opportunity was offered to defeat auch elec ion + A.—The question was put in the usual form, and no variation from such form attracted my attention; there was general response—so general as to be fairly otiversal; the President then said, “You who are opposed theréto please say No; my a impres- sion is that there were one or two answers in the nega- tive, and one man answered “Yes; I was impressed < | with this, because it had been said that the nominations would be put down, and this was a novel mode of doin, it; the President then declared the motion carried; fu opportunity was given to those who might have wished to have voted in the negative, to have done so before the question was put. Q—Was there any trouble to gentlemen to serve upon the committee? A.—I considered it to be a nui- saxce, for it interrupted my businese, interfered with my other engagements, harrassed my mind, and exposed me toa great deal of malignant misrepresentation, which I did not court; Ihave reasen to believe that many were strongly urged to become members; I believe Mr. Charles Russell was so urged; in my own case, I resigned my membership of the committee, but was requested to with- draw the letter of resignation, and did so; I resigned finally, immediately after the decision of the Court of Appeals, cone examined by Mr. Shannon—I became a member of the Committee of Management, I think, in 1848 or 1849; [have been connected with the committee until I resigned; my impression is that E. C, Benedict informed me that I had been elected a member, and that he hoped I would accept; the Times commenced on the 18th of Sep- tember, 1861; st that time T was anxious to increase the cireulation of that paper, and have beea so ever since; we sent out 11,600 of the weekly and 16,993 copies of the Gaily on our jointaccount; we supplied our subscribers besides that; these were extra papers; prior to the 11th of November, 1861, I think, we bad published a weekly paper; we ‘ttarted a weekly paper at the seme time with the daily; these extra copies of weekly papers were sent out as specimens; we thought that sending out these weekly papers to the subscribers of the Art Union would benefit our circulation; the circular in regard to the Art Union was separate from that of the Times. Q—Are those bills in your hand writing? (handing papers to the witness.) A.—Yes, and the signatures are in the hand writing of my partner; there was not, I think, a distribution in 1852; I was not present with ‘any com: mittce of management before my conversation with the president; there was something said afterwards about g the bill; the editor of the Hmaup and the editor he Day Book were guilty of malignant. misrepresen- tations respecting my connection with the American Art Union; Udo uot think any other person misrepresented me; I had made several engagements, both of business and pleasure, which ware interrupted by my connection with the Art Union; [think I resigned first about two years before the final resignation, or about oue year terl had become a member; the next letter was sent next year; [only remember these two resignations; I do not know who made the motion relative to. the re elec: tion of the saven members at Metropolitan Hall; do not know whether ony izquiry was made whether Ke was a member or not; I have no distinct recollection whether that motion was seconded or not, except the general se- cond when the yote was taken; 1 remained until the pic- tures were drawn, but dd not remain until the medals were drawn; the election was prior to drawing; I was upon the platform with the otuer members of the committee ; I do not know of any persons being on the platform who were not mombers cf the Art Tnioe, nor dol know that there were any persons among the audience who were not members: the election of the seven retiring members might haye occupied three or five minutes; Iam quite sure that the President waited sufficiently long after putting the negative to allow of a rerponse; the adyertircments of the Art Uaion were sent to the office, and the charges made by the advertising clerk, whose duty it is to enter them ina book; Mr. Bra dy, the Portmaster, sent the bill to us for payment, and wemade ont the proper proportion due to us by the’ Art Union and sent it to them for payment; Mr. Brady's bill, 1 believe, was twice the sum charged tothe Art Union; we never seut the circulars in relation to the Art Union other thau specified in tho bill; my last resigna- tion was seut in mainly in consequence of the decision of the Court of Appeals, Mr. Raymond then signed the testimony the commiti ‘our o'clock, I taken by the adjourned until to-morrow at United States District Court, re Hon, Judge Betts, M The 1 Jury were summoned for this day, but only thirteen gentlemen having answered to their varoes, ‘the Judge directed the Marshai to subpena nine additional jurors (or Wednesday next. The petty jurors were then called. The Judge informed the bar that he did not intend to take up the civil calendar this week. On Wednesday and Saturday he will hear motions, ond Thursday and Friday would be devoted to special business, The petty jury might, therefore, be discharged until Tuesday noxt, when Judge’ Ingersoll,’ of Connecticut, would arrive, and two branches of the District Court would be held, Judge In. gervoll should have his option to hold the civil or criminal court. He Poe Botts) understood that the Marshal had obtained additional court room, and the jurors were to attend there on Monday next. The United States At- torney (Mr. O'Conor) informed the Court that the room appropriated for the purposes of this court was in the new eee adjoining this, and on the first floor, and left en- trance from the Park.

Judd and W1 ‘A, Hollister.—In this case the Dis- Attorney, Mr. Blunt, ued, om behalf of the people, for the ty. imposed by the act of April 8, 1651, for the ‘tion of the iosurance laws. He contended that the defendants, acting as agents in this city for the Union Mutual Life Insurance Company, insured the life of Bur- ton W. Kendrick for the sum of $1,000, aud that the company for whom they acted had not deposited with the Comptroller of the State the sum of $50,000, as required by the actfentitled “‘An act in relation to all companies trans- acting the business of life insurance.’ ‘The defendants are charged that at the time they issued the policy of life in- surance to Burton W. Ken tl violated the require: ments of the act, und are liable to the penalty of $500. For the defence, Mr. H. F. Clark submitted that the de- fendants merely receviod applications for insurance from parties in this city, and forwarded them to the office of the company; they also allege that they were the agenta of the inmured.and not of the iasurers, and that the policy was issued in Boston, and not in New York. ‘The Judge, in charging the jury, said that if they be- lieved that this was a bona fide agency for Burton W. Kendall, and not for the company,{the] suit fails, and that, after all, was the only issue fer them to try. Ver- dict for the people for the penalty claimed, $500. U. S. Cireutt Court.

May 8.—The Court opened tllis morning at nine o’clock, but no business of interest was transacted, SENTENCES. Assault and Battery.—A tan named Charles Moore was charged with assaulting a woman named Susan Gilbert, by striking her, knocking her down, and kicking her in a violent manner, Susan Gilbert being sworn, deposei—That on the day of the assault the prisoner, for no cause, spoke in profane lan- guage to her, and knocked ker down; he then kicked and tore her hair; her husbend, to frighten the prisoner out of the house, fired off a revolver against the ceiling. Caroline Lewis, being sworn, deposed—That the prisoner used insulting language towards tho complainant, and that he also knocked her down, pulled her hair, and kick- ed her; the complainant was going to strike the prisoner with a stick after he had struck her, but the defendant pul- led it out of ber hands; the husband of the woman fired off a pistol; 8 great crowd of people thon congregated, and se- veral of them cried, “Shoot him,” meaning to kill the prisoner. Bridget Ricarta corroborated the testimony of the first witness. Charles Gilbert,the husband of the woman, being sworn, deposed—That on the day of the oceurrence, the prisoner used insulting language towards the complainant, his wife; witness requested him to stop, but he did not; he then caught hia wife aud hurt her, pulling her around the room by the hair of her head; witness tried to come to the rescue of his wife, but some man held him so tight that he could not get away in time; as soon as the man re- leased him, he got a pistol loaded with powder, and fred it off to xeaze the prisoner out of the house. The prisoner was then sworn, ang made quite a dif- ferent statement from that of other witnesses. The Judge then fined him $10 for the offence. Aman named John Keller was sentencvd to the poni tentiary for two months, for stealing gold coin and bank bills, of the value of $13, from George Keator. William H Bart was sentenced to the penitentiary for three months, for stealing « watch valued at $25, the property of Anthony Andsors. Falte Prelences. —A man named Abrabstn Feutchwanger was sentenced to be imprisoned in the penitentiary for six months for defrauding a tailor, named Ulrich Lam- line, out of two unmade coats, waich the prisoner ob- tained by representing himself a5 tailor. Accordingly, the complainant gave the prisoner the coats to make, but he did not return them, and afterwards found out that the prisoner was in the habit of obisining goods from other people in the same manner. The Court then adjourned until Friday morning at nine o’e! a Court of General Sessions, Before Judge Beebe, Aldermen Peck and Cornell, May 3.—The court opened this morning at 11 o'clock, The business commenced with empanelling the grand jury, nineteen being present. The following gentlemen were sworn in tho usual form as the grand jury for the May term :—Joseph B. Brewster, foreman, Henry MsCadden, Maurice ede William Winnans, James Hannigan, John M. Brown, tephen Botsford, Charles Baker, Ma: thias Clark, Albert Horm, G. R, Jaques, Lorenzo Moses, Patrick Mulvihill, James Nash, Atchison Smith, Daniel A. Loker, Isaac Walton, John Wright, and James Wright. Judgo Beebe then charged the jury. He said, he was glad that u~on the calendar there were but a small number of cases. There were only thirty-two ; but he was sorry to see that there were five cases of assault and battery with intent to kill, Notwithstanding the endeavors of the District Attorney, the number of stabbing cases has fear- fully increased. ‘There was also one case of taanslaughter. His charge to them would be very brief. The cases should be tried by them in as rapid a manner as possible. He called their attention to ona sof amusement. He alzo directed their attention to manner in which houses were built for the r class of people. The landlords would build a large house, five or six stories high, with a narrow hall. If a fire should happen to take place in such buildings loes of life would of course en- sue. He thought that the grend jury should not be the ones to prosecute individuals. There were certain things that the law required him to charge the jury with—Ist, usury. . Those who lent money were required by law not to charge more than seven per cent. Again, on the sub- ject of elections; but their attention was not required in relation to that matter. Again, on the subject of lottery policies. By law, all persons holding lottery offices were guilty of a misdemeanor. The proceedings of a grand jury are supposed to be secret and private; but if a man was to go into their room and make revelations it was well known that all be said was in a short time known outside of the room. With these remarks he closed his charge. The District Attorney then rose and said that it would be impossible for the grand jury to meet with him until Wednesday, as his office was not im a good condition, and ne new one ia the Park was without any locks on the joors. The Judge then suggested that, as many of them, no doubt, would have occasion to be absent on account of their changing their places of residence, and as the Dis- trict Attorney was not ready to receive them, he thought that it would be more convenient for them to wait until Wednesday. The Court then adjourned until Thursday morning, there keing no cases ready for trial. Fist District Court. - Before Judge Green. LANDLORD AND TENANT—CONSTRUCTION OF A LEASE. May 2.—Samuel F. Cowdrey against Charles Curtin.— This isan application by Mr. Cowdrey, for a warrant to remove Mr. Curtin, the tenant, from’ premises No. 838 Pearl street, in this city. It appears from the landlord's affidavit, that on March 1, 1852, Eliza Cowdrey, the then owner, leased the house and lot of land, No. 338 Pearl street, by a written agreement, to Charles Curtin, tho tenant, for the term of three years, from May Ist, 1852, which lease contained the following clause:-—" In case of a sale of the said premises, this lease is to cease at the option of the purchaser, after the expiration of the first Zear. upon two months notice being given to me (the t) OF my assigns, previous to the first day of May in any subsequent year.’’ That, on the first day of January last, the said Eliza Cowdrey and conveyed the said premises to Samuel F. Cowdrey, the present landlord; and that on the same day the said Samuel F. Cowdrey gave a written notice to the tenant—‘‘that tho said lease will be terminated by me (the purchaser) on {the first day of May (then) next;”” and that the said tenant holds over and c’ntinues in possession of the said premises after the expiration of his term, and the landlord asks for a wartant to put him in possession of the promises. The tenant denies that his term was expired. ‘Tho Judge de- cided that the tenant's term bad not expired— that every subsequent year meant the second or third year of the term, and not the first, as contended by the landlord; and, therefore, refused to grant the application.

OUR FLOATING CORRESPONDENCE. 8, TRANSPORT FRENONIA, Orr Mowtzvipeo, February 2 The Transport Fredonia at Montevideo, in Distry Frigate Congress—The Repairs, e., I take the liberty of sending youa few lines, so that our friends at home may know that we are alive and well, and very anxious to reach the point of destination (California), We bave all enjoyed good health since we left New York, and our numbers have increased three per cent, by births, which have taken place at had seventy-six days passage to this place ; should not have touched here had we not bee tress on account of the loss of many of our spars. We fortunately found the United States frigate Congress in port, and through the exértions of the ofiicers of that sbip we are ready to go to sea this day. To Mr, Thomas, the master carpenter of the Cony ch praise 1s due for the efficient manner in whic had our «pars made, and our general repairs attended to; and it is mainly through his attentions we are now enabled to sail. Montevideo bad port for distressed vessels to put into, as the facilities for despatch are not to be ob- tained at’ any price. : The frigate Congress is now getting under weigh to accompany us out to sea; she is a noble ship, and is the pride of all our countrymen in. this region; and to her commander, George F. Pea ., and Wrst Lieuten: ant Thomas Turner, all prai for the exemplary discipline on board of hor Our ship is badly stowed, and is very uneasy at sea, and consequently very hard on her spars and rigging. We are fll in good spirits. And as the anchor is up, and the pilot boat soon shoves off, I'll close, and this is to reach you as best it can, Ponene aol we Mis. Stowe In Eingtand, (From the Albany Journal, April 30. We hape, for the credit of the country, not less than | for her own self-respect, that Mrs. Stowe has not received gratuities in money from Englishmen. It cannot bo that a lady, whose porition places her above such temptations, would’ thus compromise that position. The $750 gift at Liverpool, will, we are persuaded, be explained. Mrs. Stowe cannot have gone abroad for alms, P, S.—We find the following in a Liverpool paper, after writing as above. Mra, Stowe went to the ‘Charitable Institution House” to receive a ‘ contribution of pence!”’ It ig mortifying to see a person who stands so high stoop 80 low:— eat a meeting held in the Charitable Institution House, Siater street, on Wednesday morning, Mre Stowe was presented with a purse containing £130, which had been collected in thia town by small contributions, prin- cipally pence, by a committee of ladies, a great number of whom were present, Mr. Adam Hodgson prosided, and before handing the purse to Mrs. Stowe, he delivored a beief but appropriate addrers, to which Professor Stowe replied on behalf of his lady.

At the opening of the stock market this morning the fancies had a very strong tendency downwards, and be- fore the cloge a decline of some importance was realized. At the first board Cumberland Coal declined % por cent, Micaragua Transit, {; Norwich aud Worcester, 13(; Hud- son Railroad, 34; Erie Railroad, %; Harlem, 34; Panama Railroad, 1; Canton, %; New Jersey Zinc, 34; Morris Canal, 34; Florence and Keyport, 44; Phoenix, . At the second board the downward movement continued with greater force, but transactions were checked by the depreciation, Cumberland Coal fell off 144 per cent; Nicaragua, 34; Hudson Railrosd, 4; Reading Railroad, 34; Brie Railroad, {. Most of the sales this afternoon were for cash, and the bears have availed themselves of the decline to take in some of their stocks, In this they have exhibited their usual shrewdness, for it is most likely that a reaction will take place in the stock market, and higher prices rule for the fancies for a day or two, ‘The money market for a few days past has been harden- ing, and the demand becoming more active. This has undoubtedly been the principal cause of the depression in stocks, ‘The receipts at the office of the Assistant Troasurer of this port today amounted to $151,740 75; payments, $57,830 40—Dallance, $6,098,480 73. ‘Ihe earnings of the Hudson River Railroad Company for the month of April, 1853, amounted to $102,268, against $62,718 for the same month last year, showing an increase of $80,550 for the month this year—equal to an increase of sixty-three per cent. We learn from an advertisement in another column thata call has been made for a meeting of the stock- holders of the Morris Canal Compeny, for the purpose of taking into consideration certain important matters con- nected with the property of the company. A movement is in contemplation that will materially affect the market value of the stock, and a full attendance is therefore highly necessary. é ‘The National Fire Insurance Company have declared a semi annual dividend of twelve per cent; the Eagle Fire Company ten per cent, The amount of coal transported over the Cumberland Coal and Iron Company's Railroad during the week end- ing April 23, was 8,292 tons against 3,775 tons for the week previous—showing & decrease of 483 tons. Treasury notes outstanding May 2d amounted to $116,011 64, of which $104,711 were of the issues prior to July 22, 1846, which bear but a nominal rate of in- terest.

A dividend of two dollars per share was declared to the holders on our books April 9th, payable in land. Land belonging to the Edgeworth Company to meet those divi- dends was conveyed to three Trustees, who appraise the lots, Our Treasurer here, James ©. Dunn, and our trans- fer agent in New York, F. W. Edmonds, cashior of Me chanics’ Bank, give to those entitled to dividends an order tor them upon the raid Trustecs. The holders of these orders will, as soon as enough to them are issued, be summoned, by adyerticement in a New York paper, to meet and organive the new Malden Iighland Company, made up of there order holders, of 20,000 shares, at four dollars a share, whose property will be composed of the above named trustee land of one hundred acres in Malden and Medford, with the streets already. made, graded, and laid out, After this organization, there will be a Prosi den‘ and Treasurer to mign and issue their stock, Some holders of these dividend orders will doubtless sell as they are; others will sell their Malden Highland stock after its issue, and count the prooveds as 50 much cash divi- dend derived from their Edgeworth shares. And all the holders of the Malden Highland stock will havo the right, which some doubtless will exercire, of surrendering thoit stock to the Trustees, and taking from them deeds of lota to the par amount, at the appraisement.
