Alfred E. Beach,—This was an action brought against the defendant, Alfred E. Beach, for perpetrating an assault and battery upon the person of one of his workmen, named A. J. Bogart, who it seemed from the evidence, had in September last entered bie private sanctum against the wishes of seid Beach whereupon ‘he latter used forcible measures to pat him ut of the office. The counsel for the defence inade a speech, dwelling upon the absurdity of a man in the ’g position in life éaring to enter the sanctum without leave, and when requested to evacuate the premi ges, would not do so until he was forced t by phy i strength alone. The counsel for the plai on the oth hand, was indignant at the abuse which bis client li received at the hands of the defendant, ant clain heavy damages as a recompence for the unruly and cruel eonduct (as he termed it) of Mr. Beach. (. The Judge at the conclusion of the sam formed both parties that be would give his de morning. Eieur Persons Porsonep.—On Saturday night, the 8th instant, a man named Alexander Russell, of Limetown, Washington county, Pennsylvania, who had been insane for some time, put a quantity of ar- senic into a of mush which was covking in the house of Johu Duer, of the same place, aud then swallowed a large dose of the poison hi nasil, Judge pe and his yey in re fe of the musa, were vi ick, but recovered with prope't reme- dies. Tansell suttered for nearly a day, Ninng which ng up, in- sion ia the he acknowledged wiat he done, and then we of Vhiladelphia, and Mayor Howell, of 1 ) were oth inaugurated yesterday. ia Seventh avenue, between Thir- | and | steamboat Henry Clay calamity; Messrs. A. L. Yordae and George I’, Betts for Mr. Collyer; ar. H. G. @heaton for Germain, and Mr. McMahon as counsel for the other ac- ou Mr. Dunning moved the trial of Thomas Collyer, John F. Tallman, John Germaim, Edweied Hub! James L. Jessup, James Elmendorf, and Charles Merritt. Mr. Betts moved, on affidavits of Mr. Collyer and his counsel, (himself and Mr. Jordan,) fora separate trial, on the ground that some of the parties in the case are material witnemes for him, they could not be used as such if included in the same trial. Mr, MeMahon, on behalf of his clients, also moved for separate trials for the other accused parties, on the ground that the line of defence of Tallman would’ be entirely at variance from the defence of the others, Mr. MeMahon also moved for a postponement, on the ground of his own illness, of which he produced a medical certificate. Another ground was the illuess of a material witness. Mr. McMahon, therefore, moved for separate trial of Mc. Collyer from the Gve’ parties whom he reprevented, and se} arate trial for ooage from, the others. % in opposi the motion for separate trials, said Le had no personal feelings in the matter in whieh menof great respectability and for whom he entertained high regard, were ch: vith a serious misdemeanor; but he must endeavor to discharge his duty in a faichful manner to the government who employed him. If sepa- rate trials be granted, such difficulties would arise he should advise the abandonment of the prosecution. He was of opinion that if they were not indicted and tried collectively, there would be no use in the prosecution, Decause there was no allegation that the ter was caused by apy one man—the theory is that they were conjointly guilty of misconduct and negligence. (Mr. Hall read the section of the act relating te this case.) It is quite true that Mr. Collyer is charged as being the part owner of the boat, but he is also charged with being em- ployed on the bot at the time. The evidence, they sup- posed, will go to show that Mr. Collyer being’ present as owner was acting as master, end the evidence will go to show that the Henry Clay was on that day engaged in & fearful contest with the Armenia, and that the act- ing waster is responsible for the fearful results. IC the Court separated Mr. Collyer from the rest, the jury might say that there was no evidence of some particular act as against him. He contended, therefore, that the person most responsible was Mr. Collyer; aud if the Court decided that Mr, Collyer should have & separate trial, he Mr. Hall, should consult with the District Attorney wi ether it weuld be proper to go op with the trial of Mr. Collyer. It is a grave matter, one in which the public feel, and which they have a right to feel, deeply. If aay ma should be beld fur bis responsibility on that day, it was the owner of the boat, who was encouraging the others on board: he ought to be tied to the ethers, and tried with them for the results of the ast in which ho was a princi pal actor, and by which, he was informed by the Distriet Attorney, eighty-four lives were lost. Mr. Hall subse- quently referred to the opinion of Jucge Betssjon the appli- cation for a separate trial for Capt. Farnham, in the case of the Reindeer. Mr. Wheaton was then heard on behalf of Germain, for whom he urged a separate trial. Mr. Jordan remarked that it had been said to be a very grave matter; but it regards the living, and not the dead; and although they might {e@l disposed to object.to a great consumption of time, yet that consideration wodld aot for a moment weigh agaitst the rights of the parties accused, or influence the pure acd unsullied course of the adminis- tration of justice. The learned prosecutor, he was sure, would not consent to the convictien of a man for a high crime, because it would take « long time for the trial.’ The prosecution should insist on a fair trial, and the counsel for the accused show that they could net get a fair trial shert ef a separate trial; and, although it is mot an indictment for murder, yet it is for | very high offence, for which the punishment is very se- vere. He then moved for a separate trial for his client, Mr. Collyer, who is not the captain of the steamboat, but ix a shipbuilder of this city, and uappened at the time to be part owner of the Henry Clay, but took no part in the command of her, and had’ nothing to do with the naviga- tion ef the vessel on that day, and to punish him would be a sad blot om the escutcheon of justice. He submitted | that a person not employed on board the boat was not | amenable under the act of Congress. Mr. Collyer did not | act as captain, and was not employed. The captain was, | comfessedly, Mr. Tallman. Mr. Jordan referred to the case of Captain Molony, recently tried in this Court for mur- Ger on the high seas, in whose case a separate trial was granted. | “the Judge remarked that a nolle prosequi had been en- tered in th e of one of the parties charged in that in. dictment before the trial of Capt. Molony was commenced. Mr. Jordan referred to the cases of Douglas and Benson; Babe and anther; Crutzen and Willhelm, in which sepa: rate trials had been granted. The Judge said that it appeared to hima great many vies had been Ciscussed which were not necessary to be dered in disposing of the motion before him, though | they might be worthy of consideration in addressing the jury. The act of Congress provided that every captain, pilot, engineer, or other officer employed cn steamboats, propelled in whole or in part by steam, by whose miscon: | duct, negligence, or inattention to his or their respective | dutiés, the life of any person on board shall be destroyed, | shall be deemed guilty of manslaughter. The indictment now under consi ‘ation is found on that act of Congress, | and the indictment charges the persons named in it of this misconduct and negligence—it charges them with misdemeanor and negligence, for which they are all and it is not necessary for the Court to take into consideration the questions raised before Judge Betts, though he (Judge Ingersoll) would undoubtedly have eon curred in that opinion after due consideration. It is evident that the object is to have Mr. Collyer tried first. Mr. Jordan dissented; he did not make any such mo- tion, ner did he wish it. The Judge.—Well, the object is to have one tried bafore the other, and why? The reason is, and there can be no other legitimate reason, that unless there is not a sepa- | rate trial there cannot be a fuir trial; and then the ques- tion comes up, Has anything transpired to show that these parties cannot havea fair trial, if had jointly? and if there is no reason shown that. they cannot have a fair trial, then it is the duty of the Court not to order a trial separately; but if it be made clear that they cannot have afair trial jointly, then it is the duty of the Court— though it is said to be their discretion—to order separate trials. What are the reasons urged to induce the Court to believe they cannot have a fair trial jointly? The first is, that the deience is so antagonistic to each other that - there cannot be a fair trial. The second is, that thi cannot have the evidence of their co-defendants in their Debalf. Is there any ground for this? If there is no ground for it, then why should a separate trial be grant- ed? Suppose’ the Court should order a separate trial in this case, and that Mr. Collyer or the Engineer ia tried first, could he have the benefit of the evidence of the other? This question had been up before the Supreme Court, in the ease reported in Johnson, in a case in Mas- sachusetts—the case of Pickering—as to the party being entitled to the evidence of their co-defendants, and it was refused; and it was had up inthe Supreme courts of the United States, where individuals were tried in the Cireuit Court, in Virginia, for murder on the high sens, and where each had been ordered to a separate trial—and the one first tried offered the testimony of the other. The question went op to the Supreme Court, whether one of the accused could be examined for the other, and the Supreme Court decided that, in the United States courts, he could not, though in the State of Virginia a law had been parsed prior to the time of that trial in the Cireuit, that, where a separate trial was kad, the first persan tried ight have the benefit of the other. The Supreme Court led that, in the United States courts, the one first tried could not have the benefit of the testimony of the other who was indicted with him, and, therefore, the rea- son which has been urged here 1s not well sustained, for, if the defendants were tried separately, they could no more have the benefit of their testimony ons separate tria than if the were tried jointly. As to the other reason. Is their defence so antagonistic that they cannot jointly have a fair trial? I certainly do not think If I did I would grant it. It is not {hat any one who is acting as captaia, or mate, or engineer, and him only, shall be linble; but the #tatute fays any person; and as ‘to the ground urged by eounsel that it ®as necessary for him to implicate the witness in order to exense, 1 do not understand it so. If what coun- sel says is true, that the captain was sick so that he was not able to attend to the ies on board, aud the com- mand devolved on the next officer; if he being sick, could not attend to his duty, he has done nothing; if that is made to appear, then, as T view the case, unless there is something more added, this mconduct happening during bis absence, in my judgment he will be freed from all re- sponsibility, because he will not be implicated in tust misconduct. His sickness would exonse hin. The Uourt did not see that the defence of the parti-s is so antago: 4 nistic that they cannot be tried jointly and have a fai: trial. In reference to the case of Captain Molony, which has been referred to, the court was very certain a nolle prosequi was entered before the trial, because the Doctor. who had been included in the indictment, was examined asa witness, and that is satisfactory to my mind that a nolle wasentered. The motion in this case is refused. Mr. MeMahon inquired what the Court would do with the motion for postponement, on the ground of his illness and the illness of one of the witnesses, and with regard to the affidavit he had made of his having endeavored to secure the services of three eminent counsel, and that it was impossible they could unvertake the case withoat at Jeast one month’s preparation. Ile moved ® postpone ment for a month, or, at least, for one week, to give them time for consultation. He had also to remark that Mr, Eager, the barkeeper on board—who is the only officer not included in the indictment—is a very important witness, Mr. Hall and his associate had every disposition to oblige Mr. MeMahon; but xs he is not the only counsel engaged for the defence, they did not ree why the case should not proceed. Mr. McMahon—I am the sole counsel for five of the accused The Judge—All on board may be material witnesses, and if the case was postponed by the illness of one parti- cular passenger, it would amount, in ali probability, to « ‘As to the counsel's ill portponing of it indefinitely. health, the Court know counsel are very streauons, but he did not see any difficulty in that, for what is the de ust neceesarily be the defence forall.

It being now nearly four o'clock, the Court adjourned to eleven o'clock, Wednesday morning, when the case for the prosecution will be opened by Mr. Dunning. Court of General Sessions. Before His Honor Recorder Tillou. ACQUITTED. Oct, 17—Curious Case of Ik Identity.—A woman named Mary Mason, was placed at the bar charged with stealing jewelry and wearing apparel, valued at $35. It a pee 0 Ist ed from the evidence of the complainant, that on of November, 1851, she hired the defendant gence office for a servant, and that she had not been in the house ten minutes before abe left the premises. Com- lainant missed the several articles after she had left. Wy was sure that the prisoner at the bar was the same person that she hired at the Intelligence office. Had not seen the defendant since she left the house on the 1st ef November, 1851, until within a few days ago. Wit- ness was quite positive that the defendant was the we- man she hired, becanse she knew her by the shape of her face and the expression of her eyes. Emeline Sackett, being duly sworn for the prosecution, deposed that she knew the defendant, Mary Mason ; was quite sure that he was the woman hired by Mrs. Rowland, the plaintiff, as @ servant. Witness lives in the same house with ‘complainant. When the girl came to the house she saw her, and alsg raw her several times during the day. Witness’ never saw her since the 1st of Novem- ber, 1851, until within a few days #go when she was arrested by the officers, at the instance of Mrs. Kowland, She identitied the prisoner by her countenance alone. Mr. Watts, the proprietor of the Intelligence oilica, de- posed that he remembered furnishing the complainant with a servant on the first of November, 1851. The girl on that occasion came to his office and said she was very poor, and said she wanted @ situation. Complainant came to his office and said she wanted an American girl. Whereupon the witness told her about the person who had called upon him, and accordingly she engaged her. Witness could not conscientiously swear that the defend- ant was the person whom he hired to the plaintiff. Her cheeck-bones were not quite as prominent as those of the woman that the plaintiff engaged at his office. Here the evidence for the prosecution closed, and the countel for the defence opened the case by saying that the preventcase was @ most extraordinary one. Tie defendant wa: born at Albany, is the mother of several children, and Was married to her present husband three years, and to her former husband five years, and was never in service during the whole period of her existence. Mrs, Comstock being duly eworn for the defence, depo- sed that she was tho mother of Mrs. Mason ; defendant removed to New York twenty-eight years ago. She has been married twice, lived at witnesses’ house for the last four years, Never was in service m all herlife. She worked at umbrella making for a livieg, when she was unmar. ried. She married her present husband three years ago. During the year 1851, defendant lived with witness in Seventeenth street. Cornelia George, sister of Mrs. Mason, deposed that in 1851 defendant lived in her mother’s house. Defendant was married to first husband about nine years ago. She never lived in service, and never went by any other name than Mason. Benjamin A. Lee, being swern, deposed that he sus- tained the relationship of landlord with defendant for the | last four years, Jane Brown deposed that she knew Mrs. Mason three years; she boarded there in 1851; defendent never went out to service. The counsel for the prosecution said that on the evi- dence he could not ask for a conviction. ‘The Court then charged the Jury, and said that the proof being somewhat in favor of defendant, the case was & very curious one, and deserved their special attention. The Jury, after a few moments deliberation, and without leaving their seats, rendered a verdict of, not guilty. Burglary in the Second .—A German, named Joseph | Man, was then placed fat thegbar, charged with burglar- | ously entering the store of James Bissel, ecrner of Hast | Broadway and Pike street, and stealing therefrom fre ‘of boots and shoes, valued at $50, for the prosecution went to show that three pai shoes identified as the property of Mr. Bissel, were | found in his possession, but the prisoner producing evi- | dence that he bought the articles from another map, | who, as soon as he was paid for them, ran off, and who has not been seen since. The Jury rendered a verdict of not guilty, and the prisoner was discharged. SENTENCED. Burglary in the Third Degree-—A young man named John Wallis was then placed at the bar, charged with burglariously entering the premises known as Jones’ hotel, in Third avenue. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecution that the prisoner was found in the house, with his pockets crammed with knobs of decanters, silver spoons, knives, and forks. There not being the slightest doubt of the prisoner’s guilt, the Jury found him guilty immediately, and he was sentenced by the Recorder to be imprisoned in the States Prison for two years. ‘Keeping a Disorderly House.—A German named John Overcanst was then placed at the bar charged in the in- dictment with keeping a disorderly house at No. 72 West Seventeenth street. The prosecution contended that there | ‘was playing cards and singing there on Sundays, much to | the annoyance of the inhabitants of the meighboring houses. For the defence it was shown that no liquors stronzer than small beer were sold on the premises, and that as a general thing no music was played there on Sundays, and that no gambling of any kind was carried on in the saloon, which was a t resort for the Germans living in the vicinity. The jury found the | prisoner guilty, but recommended him ‘to the mercy of | the Court. The prisoner was discharged until Friday, | when he will be sentenced. PLEA OF GUILTY. Malicious Mischig’.—A German named Frederick French- man pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with tearing down and demolishing the iron railings in front of the house of John E. Michael, of Clinton street. It being the prisoner’s first offence, the Court suspended judgment, the plaintiff the amount of damages dietment, was liberated from cus- and, on his payi ehecged in tho fa tody. "There being no more cases ready for trial, the Court adjourned until to-morrow morning at the usual hour. Ocr. 18.—The Court resumed its sitting’this day at the usual hour, and after disposing of two manslanghter and one assault and battery case, adjourned for the dye THE LATE FATAL AFFRAY IN WATER 8TREET—AC- QUITTAL OF JOHN A. HOLT FOR THE HOMICIDE OF WALLACE PARKER. John A Holt was then placed at the bar, charged with the manslaughter of Wallace Parker, the late proprietor | of a dance house in Water street, near Roosevelt. It ap- red from the evidence addnced on the occasion that 6 defendant, along with two jriends from Port Jack son, Montgomery county, visited the house of Parker, | in Water street, and on their entering the premi- ses, Parker's wife accosted the defendant. He asked her to dance, and she would not. He asked her again, and she slapped him in the face. Parker, the de- | ceased, then came up, and told the defendant ‘that he should leave the house; and when he was about doing so, was assailed with a shower of soca water bottles, some of which track him on the head, and others in the back | and breast. Parker still followed the defendant closely, | and cried out, “Break his skull; give it to him.” Bein, rather hard pressed by his assailants, who outnumbe him eight to one, he drew his jack-kuife from his pocket, and struck backwards with it, striking Parker a deadly blow in the right side, from the effects of which he almont immediately expired.’ The prisoner was very well de- fended, and an excellent character was given to him by those who lived in Montgomery county. The jury, after five miuutes deliberation, returned a verdict of “Justid- able Homicide.” The prisoner was then honorably dis- charged from the keeping of the officers. ACQUITTED. * Manslaughter in the Fourth Degree —William Mulholland, alias Billy Bottlen, was placed at the bar, charged with causing the death of e child two years old, daughter of Mary Anne Stephens, From the evidence of the mother of the child it appears that a stone was thrown accident- ally against the window of her sitting room which 10 frighteneé her that she let the d child fall out of her arms, and falling on the floor received @ severe contu- sion on the head which produced convulsions, from whi'h the unfortunate child never recovered, but died in two days afterwards, e evidence not being sufficient to sustain the indiet- ment, the jury rendered a verdict of “Not guilty,” with- out Kaving thefr seats. The prisonor was then discharged. Ausault and Batley —A Free Figh.— Two Germans, named William Whittle and Lawrence Klein were abquitted of the above charge, they having, it was alleged, beat in a cruel manner one David Kittle, also of German extraction. From the evidence it would appear that there had been too much lager bier aboard, as the parties were engaged in a general melee about one e’clock in the morning. The Court then adjourned for the day. Preparations for the War in Turkey. One of the French papers published in this city, called the Republicain, yesterday contained the fellowing:— We understand that upon the receipt of the Ruropeat news by the last mail, w private mecting took place in was unanimously resolved, that Major Leonard ‘T. Ter- zueanowski; (formerly aid-e-eamp of General Mieroslas. ki, and afterwards commender-in-chief of the Freneh le. gion in the Sicily war,) was appointed to make arrange. ments for the departure of a voluntary legion for Con stantinople. They alsu resolved to choose him as a ebief, and swore to him respect and absolute obedience. The Mercantile Libel Sait. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD, A notice appeared in your paper of yesterday, of the recent suit of Keeler agwinet Church, in the Court of Common Pleas, which contains some inaccuracies, I feel constrained, as an act of justice to the plaintiff, (with whom J have no personal acquaintance and have never spoken,) to state the facts ax they were. On the rotiring of the jury for deliberation, and. before any iaterchange of opinion, they were equally divided. After cixcuasing the case, four more of the jury, making ten, were ia favor this city of some exiles ef different countries, when it | FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Tuxapay, Oct. 18—6P. M. ‘There was quite » buoyant feeling in the street this morning, but the transactions were not so large as usual, Bettter prices were realized, and buyers took hold, appa- rently, with a great deal of confidence.

The sales were principally cash, and sellers option, short time The steamship Asia, from Liverpool, with three days later news, is anxiously looked for. She will bring very important intelligence from the East. She has now been at sea a little over ten days, and will be due about Friday next. Speculations of all kinds are held in abeyance un- til the Asia comes in. At the mining board considerable business was tran. sacted, at full prices. The sales were as follows:— 100 sha Fulton Copper. 234 800 sha Phoenix Gold 200 “ Deep Rivr Coal 75. 200 “ Gold Hill 200 “ Prkr Vein Coal 12% 100 “ Penn Zinc. Mining stocks generally are well held. There appears to be no desire on the part of holderd to realize, and the prospects as regards most of them are encouraging and satisfactory. The works of the Pennsylvania ‘Zine Com- pany are now inactive operation, and the weekly pro- duet amounts to about forty-six tons—240 barrels—of white zinc, Ina short time the product will reach sixty tons—600 barrels—per week, Fulton Copper Company continues comparatively quiet; but is firm at our queta- tions. Parker Vein is moving upward rapidly. It has advanced four per cent in as many days. The views of holders of Potosi Lead are above the market pric Gold Hill has thus far proved enormously productive, and no doubt will continue to command a high premium. Phoenix Gold is dulland depressed. It apparently has little life in it, All the copper stocks are steady, and doing well. Upon the opening of another year our mining companies will begin to show some results. They are now actively engaged in the proper way to develope their resources. The failure in the sugar business, noticed yesterday, was Messrs. Dimond & Co., of Bristol, R. I. Their lia- bilities are very large. The rumors of failures among the ry goods jobbers were confirmed. The shipments of specie from this port to-morrow, by the steamer for Liverpool, will not fall much short of one million of dollars. The stock of the Cumberland Coal and Iron Company has been pretty well sustained amidst the panics and explosions of Wall street. Parties who purchased this stock at high prices, who can afford to bold, do so with the hope that they may sometime hence extricate them- selves with less loss than at present; and those whe were engaged in the formation of the company, and got their stock for a mere song, hold on so as not to depress prices by feeding the market too liberally. The modus operandi by which the great Cumberland Coal and Iron Conipany, with a capital of five millions of dollars, was formed, is one of those operations in tho financial world which should not be suffered to pasa into oblivion, particularly while the stock is an active fancy on the market. The facts of the case are as as follows :—Some hal’ » dozen men, interested in the old mines and lands joining, near Cumberland, applied to the Legislature of Maryland, and obtained a charter for a mammoth’ coal and iron company, under the name and style of the Cumberland Coal and Iron Company, with the privi- } lege of increasing their capital to $5 000,000. To obtain this charter, it was represented at Annapolis that they were to consclidate nearly all the principal mines about Cumberland under, one company, with the above designa- tion; and by increasing largely the facilities of conveying the coal to market, te increase and develope the wealth of the mineral regions of Maryland. Being thus armed with a charter. they bought some mines and asseased others belonging to the members of the clique; and for the property thus put into the concern, vilued at and bought for about $360,000, they issued and divided among themselves stock to the amount of $5,000,000, with the nominal par of $100 on the share. They next contracted for the New York and Maryland Mining Company’s property, and exchanged the mortgage bonds of the Cumberland Coal and Iron Company for $825,000, for the bonds and chattel mortgages of the former company, these bonds to become due at the eame time as those given by the New York and Maryland Mining Company. Having thus been put in possession of some 10,000 acres of land and the Maryland Mining Company’s road and mines, they prepared that arossly exaggerated and fraudulent report, which was issued in February, 1853 In this report it was stated that the ‘reserved stock ”’ of the company had all been subscribed for by the stockholders, at $75 on the share, and that it had been paid up and taken by them, asa privilege, which could not, in justice tothem, be granted to the public—thereby practicing a deliberate and evidently premeditated fraud upon the community. Fer, how is it possible that to issue stock costing but $7 on the share, could be a privilege to others at $75 per share. The whole cost of the entire concern, including all their purchases and improvem ents, stands about as follows :— ios and lands without Md. and N. Y. Mining Co.'s, Siessts ae N. Y. and Md. Mining Co.'s ‘property ‘in ‘mort gage bonds,..... pabadeeveleaed ++ 825,000 Advanced to Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for CATS esse TR ere 180,000 Expenced for schooners, barges, boats, “&e 800,000 Whole cont, if the Company had no debt....$1,655,000 | Deduct for mortgage bonds still out... 637,000 And we have (if the Company has no floati: debt)... i seven "5 61,115,000 —which, divided by 50,000, (the number of shares,) will give $22 36 as the actual par value of their shares, if they have no floating debt. But they have a floating debt; and their mortgage bonds become due when the old bonds of the New York and Maryland Mining Company’s do; when that is we cannot say, but it is probable that it is at no distant day. Under those circumstances, it appears quite time that the-public should know something of the intrinsic value of this stock. The comebasion to which we have arrived is, that the stock of fie @ompany in the hands of the present directors is not worth ten dollars on the share, The President is allowed by the directors 12}4 cents per ton on all the coal sold, in addition to his salary; and they, in turn, are no doubt bleeding the stockholders in some other way, while in all probability they hold lit- tle or no stock themselves. The Mountain Lake Water Company, of San Francisco, was organized in August, 1851, under the general corpora- tion laws of California, for the purpose of supplying the city of San Francisco with water, from the lake known as Mountain Lake, situated about three and a half miles west of the city, from which the water can be introduced on ite own level at an elevation of upwards of one hundred and thirty feet above tide. ‘The first grant was made by the Common Council in June, 1861; laws of the Legislature confirming same, and granting further powers to Common Council, passe’ May, 1862; further grant by the Common Council, July, 1852. The capital of the company is $500,000, divided into 10,000 shares of $50 each, the whole of which has been subscribed by parties in San Francisco, and fifty-five per cent paid in cash. The company own the lake and sur. rounding lands and the right of way to the city, including the use cf the streets for twenty years, at which time the city must either purchase the works or extend the grant, the company being the owners of the only source of water from which the city can be supplied, Contracts tor building the works of the company between the lake and the distributing roservoir in the populated part of the city, amounting to about | $400,000, have been made with responsible parties, to be of giving the plaintiff « verdict’ and but for the chargo of | the judge, Ihave no doubt thad all of the (who petd thet bis “mind wan mado up trons th yaar} would have united upon a verdict for the plainti Saturday, Ogtober 18, 1263.

The entire work, when completed, will cost about $750,000, and is being built in the most substantial man- ner, upon the same principle as thé Croton, although of Jess dimensions, The Company have conveyed all their property and rights to James B. Bond and William M. Burgoyne, in trust to secure the payment of 250 bonds of $1,000 each, dated Nov. 1, 1862, payable 1st November, 1862, bearing interest at 10 per cent per annum payable half yearly in the city of New York. The punctual pay roent of the interest is guaranteed by some of the most wealihy and substantial citizens of San Francisco.
