Q—How were the pictures of 1851 purchased ? Mr. Shannon—I object to the question. The books snow the manner of the purchases, and to examine the witness im this respect, is only to change the books, Mr. Fullerton—! withdraw the question. _Q—You have beon charged with receiving compensa. tion as 2 member of the Committee of Management, is ‘that 807 A.—It is not; I never received any compensation as 2 member of that committee, nor dol know any one who Q—Under what circumstances were your travelling ex. penses paid’ A—I lsd oceasion, as a member of the Committee of Management, to travel some thousands of milles to see certain corresponding secretaries, burdened with two trunks full of engravings; I performed the duty arsigned to me, and charged much less than my actual individual e #, without charge for the time or services.

Q—Were your expenses paid on the second occasion as on the first? : 3 ‘A.—Only my individual expenses were paid on both oc- casions; I throwing in my time. ‘Q.—Do you reoolleet the amount? A—I think ou one occasion it was $50; the other Ido not recollect. ‘Q—What amount las the firm of which you area member received as counsel ? ‘A.—I do uot know; I was employed by Shepherd Knapp, assignee of Mr. Couzens, the mortgagee, and for this ser- viee I was paid Q.—What was the amount of your charges ? A.—I do not exactly know, but I am sure they were less than my firm usually charge their clients. Q—For whom did you foreclose a mortgage? A.—I foreclosed a inortgage for Mr. Knapp against the Art Union, realizing thereon over $30,000 Q.—From whom did Shepherd Knap > receive this mort- e? Ot —From A. M. Cozzens, mortgagee. Q—Was Shepherd Knapp a member of the Committee of Management for 1851? A.—He was not; but he was Presideat of the Mechan- ica’ Bank, where bet « een $20,000 and $30,000 of the paper of Mr. Cozzens’ had been discounted, Q—For what years had this paper been discounted ? A.—During the years 1851 and ‘52. rer much was discounted for the Art Union during 1? ‘A.—Over $20,000, Q—How much of this paper was discounted for debts Aaa tS the Institution during the year 1851 ? A—AlL. Q.—What was that paper given for? A.—For the purpose of obtaining money with which to buy pictures when we had no subscribers, and to carry on the institution until subscribers came in, ‘The Chair—You heard fhe testimony of Mr. Austin, the Treasury ? A.—I did. Q—He said that pictures were purchased on drafts for Jorg dates. ‘A.—Some of them were. , Mr. Shannon—Was this paper discounted in bulk? A.—It was discounted at various periods, for different amounts. Q.—At the time of these discounts were you not in the receipt of subscriptions? ; A.—We were; but not to an amount sufficient to meet the current wants of the institution; more than one-half of the subscriptions were received within t¥o weeks pre- ceding the annual drawing. Q.—How came Shepherd Knapp to receive $250, as the assignee of Mr. Cozzens, in foreclosing his mortgage’ ‘A.—He employed counsel for that purpose, and such counsel charged that sura to him, and he charged it to the institution; the firmof which I am a member fore- closed another mortgage in Mercer street, for the pur- poss of giving # good title to the purchaser, and charged 260. Q—What makes np this item of $558, charged for sale of pictures, advertising, &e. | “Mr. Fullerton—Cail Mr. Austin to explain this. Mr. Shanvon to Mr. Coe—When was the money paid for the sale of the property on Mercer street. ‘A—That property was sold last February, and the money paid to the Treasurer short time after. Q. at was the amount realized by that sale? A.—817,000; I paid to, the plaintiff $1,016 66 principal and interest; the balance, after deducting costs, counsel fees, sheriff's fees, and advertising, I paid over to the ‘Treasurer of the Art Union on the 18th of April, amount- ing to $5,840 08. Q.—When was that mortgage due? A.—It was due in August for the non-payment of the interest. Q—Were there not sufficient tunds on hand to pay the interest of that mortgage? A.—I do not know; that must be answered by the ‘Treasurer. Q—At the time you took this trip on behalf of the Art Union had you your family with you? A—My family were with me, but I charged only for my own individual expenses off from my route. Q—When was the order for this bulletin, just pub- lished, given? ‘A—I don’t know; it bas been in contemplation for some time; there were 13,000 ordered. Mr. @orztna then came upon the stand for crosa exami- nation. Mr. Shannon asked—When was the assignment made by youto Shepherd Knapp of this m e? A.—I don’t recollect; some two or three weeks before the sale. Q—To your knowledge, during the year 1851, were some secretaries paid a larger ealary than others? A.—Not to my knowledge. ieee was this mortgage on those pictures given ou ” A.—I don’t recollect; I think in 1852. Q—How many subscribers are there for 1853 ? A.—About thirty, I think. Q.—In the meeting of the members of 1852 what was the announcement made of the meeting ? A.—I instructed the Secretary to notify all the mem- bers of 1852 that the annual meeting and election would take place upon the day designated in the charter, to wit, the first Friday preceding Christmas ; he informed me that the service had been performed. Q—Were salaries paid to honorary secretaries and to clerks in 1852, the same as in 1851? A.—There were no salaries ever paid o honorary secre- ries; being in daily expectation of favorable deci- sion of the courts, we we were obliged to contiaue the clerks and other salaried persons about the establishment until the 21st of August. Q.—Since the close of the year 1851 has any statement cee affairs of the institution been made to the mem- ‘A.—There have been printed circulars sent to the honorary secretaries, with the request that they would communicate it to their subscribers, Q—I want to ask about the manner in which the ac- counts of the Treasurer for 1851 were kept ? ited by Mr. Kelly, Mr. Appleton and ‘as carefully examined. ¢ A—An Anecican artist, who first commenced in this city; his first master was Mr. Huntington; his tirst pro- ductions were purchased by the American Art @nion; he subsequently went to Europe for the purpove of atudy in his profession, and from time to time the Art Union made purchases of him during his residence abroud squlgart® Shannon & Fullerton—We have nothing more | toask. The Chair—As there is no further testimony to be in- troduced in regard to this case, we here pronounce the case closed as to the admission of evidence. Upon inquiry it was found that neither of the counsel in the case wished to sum up the testimony, and the Chair therefore pronounced the case adjourned sine diz, Meeting of the Almshouse Governors, The Bourdof Almshouse Governors metin the Rotunda, at five o’clock last evening, President West in the chair.

Sm :—I left New York in the steamboat Sylph, for Staten Island, at 4 0’clock om Saturday. The steamsbips Alabama, Marion and Roanoke, sailed at the same hour. Immediately after our clearing Governor's Island, these three steamers were seen coming down at full speed. The ‘Alabama was leading, and crossed the Sylph, with sufti- cient room to spare. The Roanoke bore away in good time, and passed on the Long Island side, or at the stern of the Sylpb. The Marion stood om her course and the Syipbon hers, both going atfull speed. I saw thata colli- rion must take place unless one cere way ‘and crossed the stern instead of the bow of the other; this the commander of each seemed determined not to do, and the steamers Ea mre each other until the Mariou’s within twenty feet of the Syiph. The Sylph obliged to give way or go down, which sho would have done a minute after was struck. She was crowded with passengers, a great many of whom were children; many of them become mach alarmed a cited, and I saw ove Indy nearly in hysterics; I own family on board, and went forward to the man at the wheel, to remonstrate with him, and told to mind my own business, (which I considered I was doing in taking precautions for the safety of my family,) and he would mind his. At this time the Marion’s stem was not twenty feet from the Sylph. ‘The captain of each seemed to think that he had» right to keep on his course, and rather than yield that right, or lose ten seconds of time on» voyage to Charleston or Staten Island, they choose to on- danger the lives of two hundred persons. Those on board of the Marion, were certainly free from danger, and her commander would have acted more in accordance with the conduct and gallantry of a sailor, by allowing the Sylph to pass on, than by bearing down upon a ferry boat fi with ladies, or by entering into a contest with the man at hor wheel; but although he was frce from per- sonal danger, he put his owners’ pockets in jeopardy for more than the value of their ship. I do not think it necessary to enter into or discuss the question, “Who bad, or who bad not the right?” but I wish to ask the owners of these ships if they will permit this outrage to be repeated. The same vessels will start at the same hour next Saturday, and is the same cont to take place? and, then, after a collision, 1s the que tion, ‘‘ Who was in the right ?”” to be determined. If the Marion had struck the Sylpl, you would have had to re- late a loss of life which would have exceeded the Nor- walk catastrophe, and if the pilst of the Sylph had es- eaped, we should have been editied with a discussion between him and the captain of the Marion, as we were the other day between the engine drivers on the Jersey and Paterson railroads I know Commodore Vanderbilt and Messrs. 8) & Tileston, and believe them to be too jealous of their high character and reputation to lend the slightest sanction to such reckleasnees. I would have represented tho matter to them personally, but next week it may be the Alabama or Roanoke, and as I cannot call upon the owners of all of them, I must avail myself of your columns to draw their attention to this subject. T enclose my card, which is at the service of either Commodore Vanderbilt or Messrs. Spofford & Tileston, and if they want corroboration, I will furnish them with tho names of a dozen respectable persons well kuown to thom. In the meantime I ask whether they will give orders to prevent a repetition of 40 gross an outrage on those who are obliged to travel on board of the Staten Inland ferry boats, A SHIP-OWNER, The Paterson Railroad Collisions TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD.

The train having been made up, and not seeing the conductor, I went to the engineer, and told him that he should pass the day express on the double track. I had previously furnished with a time table, but, for fear he would n fully examine it, I cautioned him in regard to it, 3 that his time at Bergen Hill was 8:25; that the day express time was 8:17, adding that it was possible that the express train might be a few mi- nutes late; if so, ho must not, by any means, leave Ber- gen Hill ‘until ‘his time was fully up; this caution I re- peated, and had the engineer obeyed me, and not been urged on by the conductor, no accident would have oc: Let this for the present suffi HENRY A.

Sir:—In your issue of yesterday you made reference to an article in the United States Review, entitled ‘The United States and the United Kingdom.” From the necessity of condensing your material you “ boiled it down’’ to the following brief epitome: “ the writer,” you say, “affects to disregard our sailing vessels, and rests his hopes of defeating the British navy, and subjugat- ing Great Britain on the superior excelleace of our steamers. Unconsciously you have fallen into a singular error. ‘the article in question is diametrically opposed te the interpretation you place on it; indeed, had you quoted it correctly, it would have been « strong additional argu ment in favor of the position assumed by yourselves. So far from being “Old Foggyish”’ in tono, it'is, if anything, in advance of the di at least we may conclude so whea advocates the same position. You will, we trust, set us right in this respect, espe- cially as by so doing you compliment yourselves, and adopt the judicious opinion ‘of the reviewer, who, from the greatness thrust on him, must certainly be worthy of imitation. We enclose the artiele in extenso, and pps, it at your service. Whether it be quoted at length or epitomized, we are confident it will have justice and appreciation at your bands, Very respectfully, Your obedient servants, CONDUCTORS OF THE UNITED STATES RAVIEW. [From the United States Review, of May, 1853.) Great apprehensions have been felt and expressed in regard to the six or seven hundred war steamers, it is stated, England now possesses, many of which are by this time only calculated to figure in the navy list, among the old hulke of antiquity. It seems to be the prevailing opicion that she has only to put as many soldiers he leases on board, and scour the coast of the Uuited States, both on the Atlantic and Pacific, But it should be borne in mind that steamers ozeupy the place of ,men of war of the old stamp, and that consequently the actual paval force of England has not increased since the late war. It has only changed its nature, and it remains yet to be seen whether the change will be advantageous, This species of force has never been tried through ali the vicissitudes of war, and its efficiency is yet to be tested. It may answer very well against the feeble na. tions of the East, but has not yet encountered Old Iron- sides. The only occasion in which war steamera were brought into collision, calculated to try their capacity for defensive or offensive war, except against the Chinese and Bornese pirates, was the attack of the French Squad. ron on San Juan de Ullos, where the steamers were so mauled that they were obliged to withdraw out of the reach of the enemy’s fire. ‘We repeat it remains yet to be seen whether, all things considered, they are superior as means of defence or anneyance to the old class of ships of war. As we are following, as usual, headlong in the track of England, who, finding herself inferior in the old mode of warfare has adopted a uew one—it may not be amiss to consider this important subject a little morecritically. It involves & vestion of the highest moment, namely, whether the United States shall ina great measure abandon that rystem of naval warfare, in which they have shown a decided mupeetocisy, and adopt one in which, for aught we know, that superiority may -be transferred to an ene: my? It therefore beeomes b8 question of vital importance, whether, all things considered, war steamers are superior to the old clsss of ships, or whether any advantages they May porsess, are not more than counterbalanced by greater defects which experience will make manifest, In the first place, they can never become efficient cruis- ing vessels on the high seas, from their sana, to carry & sufficient quantity of fuel, as well as from the fact, now pretty well demonstrated, that their speed un- der canvass cannot compete with ordinary sailing vessels. They must return to port to replenish their fuel at the end of every three weeks. There has, as yet, been no successful attempt to combine speed under steam, with fast sailing under canvass. The two war steamers, Mis- souri and Mississippi, the most efficient and perfect’ over constructed, were, to our certain knowledge, mainly in- tended to ascertain as far as possible, the praeticability of this combination. But the experiment was not satis- factory, and we believe the combination imp: In the second place, in all great exigences of battle or storm, this class of ‘vessels must rely on their engines alone. ir machinery, being thelr sole dependence, is ly exposed to the fire of an enemy, who would, of course, aim at it most especially, because to disable it would be decisive of the contest. In addition to this, the management of the engine requires a watchful attention cool self possession, and self-command in the heat of action, which might not always fall to the lot of an en- gineer, who, perhaps, for the first time is placed in such @ predicament. It is clear that the result of the conflict ae depend more on the engineer than the command- officer. in the third place, those who have been accustomed to watch the movemente of steamers must have seen that they cannot compete with vessels under canvass if there is anything like a sailing breeze, in putting about, or in any ordinary evolution, except that of stopping short and going backwards. {n order to make a circuit, they re quire far more time, as well as space, than sailing ves- sels, and this of itself isa most serious, if not decisive disadvantage in the manceuvres of a sea fight. In the fourth place, they must of necessity be greatly inferior in the number of guns to an old fashioned mau- of-war, because a large portion of their space is occupied by machinery and fuel. The English have sought to rem- edy this by guns of greater calibre and weight by hollow shot of a vast size, and other expedients equally ingeni- ous and nugatory. The Quickest Tilps Across the Atlantic TO THE EDITOR OF THE I1ERALD. As wo ate entaring the season for short passages to bo made between England and America, I thought I would take the liberty of addressing you on that subjest, so that the public may know to which steamship to give the ere- dit of making the quickest run across the Atlantic Ocean. As you are the best medium of communicating to the public I address you. The United States Mail Collins steamship Baltic, Cap- tain Joseph J. Comateck, sailed from Liverpool on the 6th August, 1851, at 4P. M., and at 6.15 P, M. was off Rock Lighthouse. She had very fine weather until she wae of Sable Island, when she was-enveloped in a dense fog for twenty-two hours, and was compelled to run at half speed. She was met by the newsboats off Halifax, end stopped to deliver papers, kc , and arrived off Sandy Hook onthe 16th August, at 4.30 A. M., and arrived abroest her berth, foot of Canal stroet, New York, at 6.15 A. M. | precisely. ‘Taking her time from Rock Lighthouse, Eng- | land, to Sandy Hook, Amorica, tho distance being 2,031 miles or thereabouts, and her pascage ia nino days, ten hours, and fifteen minuter, the shortest on record; but if «vou do not cheose to take her time batween the above points, take it feom dock to dock, end it is nine deyr, fourteen hours, and fifteen minutes, also the shortest on record, Her test day’s run was 40 miles, but she hac since made 361 miles.in twenty feur hours.

May 16.—The United States vs. Theodore A. Rossie.—The evidenee having elosed on Friday evening, the case was submitted to the Commissioner this morning, by Mr. James Ridgway on the part of the government, whe con- tended that under the 2ist section of the statutes at large the prisoner should be committed for trial. That section provides that if any person employed in any of the departments of the Office shall secrete, em- lestroy any letter, or any other article of value,” &c., &c., “or shall steal or take any of the same out of any letter, packet, bag, or mail of a, that shall come to his or her possession, such person shall, on such convic- tion for any such offence be imprisoned not less than ten years nor exceeding twenty-one years.” Mr. James M. Smith, for the defendant, contended that this case did not come under the provisions of the sta- tute, and that the letters being “decoy” letters, and not intended for transmission, the defendant was entitled to his discharge. same section (21st) rays—‘‘And ifany person employed as aforesaid shall secrete, em- bezzle, or destroy any letter, packet, bag, &c., with which he shall be entrusted, or which shall have come to his or her possession, and are intended to be conveyed by post,’ &c, These letters were not intended to be con- meee post, and the case did not come within the statute. The Commissioner considered the evidence sufficient to hold the party to answer, and committed the prisoner in default of $5,000. Unitea States District Court, Before Hon. Judge Ingersoll.

May 16.—The Court met this morning pursuant to ad- journment, but no business of any importance or interest was transacted, ‘ ASSAULT AND BATTERY WITH INTENT TO KILL. A stout built man named James Dunn, was placed on trial charged with committing an assault and battery, with intent to kill, upon s man named William Vroman, dy beating and stabbing him with a knife, on the 20th of April last. It appeared from the evidence that the pri- soner, in company with two other men, entered the store of Mr. Vroman, in West street, and there, while under the influence of intoxicating liquors, beat the complainant with a club, and stabbed him in the head several times with a aye, carving knife. The inhabitants of the house were 80 ES pee at the infuriated assailants that all fled, one of them taking refuge on the roof of the house. These men then left the house, pursuing Mr. Vroman, who escaped from thom. They were then, after a great deal of trouble and fighting, captured at his residence by the police, who received some hard hits while in the dis- charge of their duty. Jonas C. Philips, the counsel for the defendants, con- tended that, because the assailants did not strike the complainant in the heart or the lungs, the jury could not find a verdict of guilty with intent to kill. Tho jury, after a few moments deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty. ACQUITTED. John Morrison was acquitted on a charge of receiving stolen goods, and knowing them to be stolen. The pro- perty, which consisted of a lot of sleigh bells and har- ness, were found in the possession of the prisoner. The Jury, without leaving thelr seats, returned a veydiet of not guilty. .

The eomplainant allowed her to do so, and left the room with the defendant lying on the bed, who then got up and tore open a feather bed and stole two twenty-dollar gold pieees which had been kept there by the defendant, The tostimony was corroborated by ‘her husband, Bermard Brady, The Judge them charged the jury, who, afier a fow moments deliberation, returned a verdict of guilt} ‘Arrest upon a Bench Warrant.—Officers Cameron and Spicer arrested Lyman Mudge upon a bench warrant is- sued from the Court of General Sessions.
