The schoouers Mary Niles and Ellen Proclor were obased out of the bay by an English cutter, The rea of the seizure created some excitement ia Gloucerter, coupled with the fact that the Uatted States squadron is feasting at Hoilfwx, icstead of cruising on the fish'ng grounds, Anextra from the Gloucester Tdegraph, jast recetved enya:—' The Devastation passed by a fleet of 14 or 15 ves cele, saying rothing to them, and proceeded about two miles, to where the Starlight and another vessel were ty- ing becalmed.

August 22. 1853, TO TEE MDITOK OF THE NEW YORK HELALD, Bir—A letter appears in the HaxaLy of Saturday last, addressed by Yr. wk Ward co the Secretary of the Treasury. urder date of the S0th April last sastieg some statements recpecting “lewes of custom house. ap- prai store, and bended warehpuses in San Fraa cisco,’”” which I deem it proper briefly to notice. The leases are all spoken of in connec'iom with my the impression on the mind of tne reader ted for them, aed that something very wrong wae ‘done, for whick I to be held responsi ble. In upjust colvring ard oy of Mr, Ward's letter is, in wy opinion, part and parcel of a plan of a set of miscreants, not oonnected with the government, to injweme. I procesdto consider Mr. Ward's statements ip their order 1,—The lense from Deuiel Saflarans, of the Battery street warehouse. ‘The contract for the construction of this house was mede gg James Collier, Collector of San Francisco, under a fase Saeeeey of mee gas ad Isare waa to run fifteen years, at a monthly rent of two thoveand ole stor. and ap. q dollars. to be vigned by the C proved f t of about the time Mr. Corwin came into offics, wuo ed rent teo high, and the term of the lease the too loug, and be insisted on reducing both Tae term was finally reduced to ton and the rent to fifteen hundred dollars per month, makieg preci: one half the ulumate amount originally agreed to be paid for the use of the house 1 believe the Secretary consi- dered the government bound to take the The periien: inserested consented to the reduc- ticn the terms of the lease, To terminate the controversy it was necessary I shouid sign the lease 66 collec'or, in conformity with the agre*ment. ‘This I did at Wa. hington, before I went to San Fransweo to take chsrge of my office. I believe the ters of the bmg Pos the time, wore very low, sod that Mr.Cor qin made the best possibie compromise for the goverament.

This leace was made at Waahicgton. I koew nothing of it until it was brought to meat San Vravcisco. Toese houses will hold sboat eight ind toes of bonded merchaueize, and if filled, es I suppose they may be, would, at $2 per ton, the preseut price of storage ss I ew informed, produce a grosa monthly income, of $16,990, ‘The. goverr mont payer $6,000. I know nothing of the pgbrig yout pall ta etvanse,”” for thes” elldings, of whi Ward ure leased from Palmer, Cock & Co. I rented this building the month, after the great fire of the third avd fourth of May, 1851; itis about twenty four by seventy. five feet, two stories high, with « basement, comfortable for the transaction of business, mking the house equal to three stories, but I oniy paid $2.50 per month for it not $3000 as Mc. Ward says; ‘there was not euffictent room for the convenieat traasac- tion of the busiuocs, and I af erwards ranted aa adjoiniog room, twenty-four by fifty feet, at 8600 per month, for the Naval Office, boch agreements sudject to the appro- val of the Secretary ef the Treasury; I sont to the Trea- sury Departient certifi sates of the Naval Officer, Survey- er, and other highly respectable gentlemen, stating the reasonablencas of tlie remte. ard the Areproof character of the building. It withstood two destructive fires, aud was the Rates best eccommodations { could pro- oure for the mm House buslaess. 4. “The Al store ‘leased for one year from Grogen & Bers Leake waa made after I left eflice. 1 know nothing it. 5. ‘A contract with Theodore Adams for con structing a buildivg for an Appraiver's atore,’’ Ko T didnot know that such « contract had been made IT saw it atated in Mr. Ward’s letter. “The building formerly used es an Appraiser’s store, on Celifornia street.’? This store was rented by the month, subject to the ap- proval of the Secretary Of thé Treasury. It was the best and cl Tcould preeare f.r the purpose. Cartia- cates wererent to the department, setting forth these facts. I am informed, on good authority, that leas than one hatf cf the buildivg now zenta for nearly or about the sum per month, whioh | paid for the whole of it. This building was rested from Mr. Frederick Griflia, who, I hetieve, leased it for a termof years from tho owaer, in Boston.

Mr, T, Butler King’s letter, publishod in a New Yerk paper this morning, ronders it necensary for Mr. Frank Ward to state, by telegraph, in anticipation of the more Cetailed statement which he intends to make, that the letter written by Mz.

Upon Mr. Frank Ward learning the real purport of the lettory he immediately addrensed the following note to Mr. Kiog. As to Mr. King’s special pleading and representations as to the satisfactory state of his accouuts, it is only neces: aary for Mr. Ward to state that he trusts it may be satis- factory to the Treasury department, ai it certainly will in that care, relieve Mr. King from the trouble which it ig reported he now experiences in adjusting his ac- counta.

CAPR OF THE VILLAIN, WHO 18 SUPPOSED TO BN LN NSW YORK, On last Saturdsy afterncon 9 German pedier, whose Dame we woié unnble to ascertain, was most brutally at- tempted to be murdered in Greene county, within about eight miles of Coxsackie, under the followtog olroum- stances, as related by the unfortuaste man whon disoe- vered on the road. Tho pedler states that he was walking om the pineit road leading into Coxsactie, at sbout thres o’ocloek ow that afternoon, expecting to be overtaken by the stage, in whieh he intended to secure his pusogs, A mam came up to bim and entered into conversation, re- marking thst he was going eleo into Coxsackie; ie the course of tke conversation the peiler inform- @dthe man that he tad sold abort hutt his goods, ant had realised some little money, Scarsely had they walk ed together half a mile before the stranger fell somewhat: bebind, aud instantly Mscbarged a balf from a six barrel: revelver, which entered the back of the pedler, eround the ribs, and lodging ia the outer skin coveriag: tho abdomen. The injury, however, did mot cause the pedler to fal', and iustantly the assassin presented the pistokegain at the body of his virtim, demansieg at the same time his money, The poor pedier begged: for his life, aad. handed to the robber sl! the money he had, which aniounted to one hundred dollors. No tooner, however, had the money been delivered te: bim than be egain fired'the pistol, the charge seriously injuring the pedier tn the neck, and with a demoniac de- termination to despatch his victim the robber discharged ‘the revolver a third timo, the ball from which entered the shoulder. This last shot brought the pedler to the ground insensible; and the villain sapposing he had done the job, dragged his yictim a short distance from the road, an@ pikd cm his head and body several pieces of rock amd stone, and then fled, This deed of blood waa perpo'rated about three o’clock inths afternoon, and at about four o'clock the stage came along, on its way to Coxsackie, ‘The driver saw the pedier, and went to his assistance, and found him yet alive, but ina very weak state. He was placed in tho stege, end conveyed to the next village, where medical aid was procured; and soon after, by the appliostion of restoratives, the pedlor was sufficiently re- stored to his senses, to give an account of the affair amd a description of the asssesin, The surgeon in attendance extracted one of the bulleta, but the injuries aze said to be of a fatal cheracter, and but little hope is entertained of his recovery. The assassin was subsequently traced to a village called Gayhesd, whore he hired a man to drive him to Catskill, alleging for the great haste he exhibited that hia father was very ili in New York, and he was feazfuk ho would die before he reached him. Whta in Outokill the murderer manifested the same aaxicty to hnery away; he went into a barber's shop, where be was staved, saying ke was on bis way to Albany to-see his sick father. He crosacd the river nt Catsbill, forthe purpoce of taking the Hudson River Ratlroad elther’ for New York or Albany; but the iapression is that he took the cars for Naw York, possibly on his way for California.
