It is sharper ‘the serpent’s tooth— bitterer than gall. I cast it from me in the calm con- sciousness of my innocence. aration was false. This the testimony of Lieut. Van Voast, who states that he earried with him all the orders in to the move- ment of the detachment in my order book bel to company D, which orders were of course at the ie of Lieut. Loeser, the commanding officer of the det \- ment, after my tion. Lieut. Van Voast, by my direction, informed Lieut. Loeser of the faet that he had he cots patiaies sok ctephnatly thatI did e cat el t falely state fman oflesal communication, addreased 10 Col , Adjutant General, dated the 18th of April, 1654, that on my return from a seven days leave of ab- sence, on or about the 13th of said month, I then learned fer the first time, that I was to command the four com- panies of my regiment, under orders to the Pacific; whereas, about the 5th of said month, when I applied in person at the headquarters of the army I was informed eut. Colonel Thomas that I was to con- duet the four companies to their destination. My an- ewer to this briefly is, that the conversation which [ had with Col. Thomas on the 4th, instead of the 5th of April, ae be states, (for on the 5th I was in the city of Balti- more,) in which I understood ‘him to express the proba- bility only that I would be the senior company officer oes on duty when the detachment should more, id not regard it as at all official in its character. idea never entered my mind that the passing remarks ‘the Colonel in this conversation were an authoritative imvestment of me with the command of the four com- panies ordered to sail for California on the 20th. Neither couki they have been, for Col. Thomas admits in his tes- timony that he had at that time received no instructions ‘to this ¢ Besides, it is in proof that Col. Burke, on a day sul uent to that when this conversation was held with Col. , and whose rank entitled him to the command of this detachment, stated to Major Sprague, ‘as testified by that officer, that it was not then certain in bis opinion who would take the command. Now, I ask, is it probable, or even possible, that Col Thomas should have issued am order to me to take the command of this detachment, and its rightful commander, who was at the port with a part of the troops, should, some days there- after, be in ignorance that such an order been is- sued? Under the circumstances I regard the specifica- tion as too frivolous to demand further notice. Mr. President and geutlemen of the Court, I have now finished all that I desired to te, og my defence. I do mot pretend to be indifferent to the results of this trial. My reputation as an officer is in your hands, and there [ ingly leave it; but before I close I wish again most ‘Gaabniealy to disavow all intention of factious disol Gience. In refusing to lead my command on board tI vessel, which abundant evidence had shown to be unsea- worthy, I was moved by no mal motive. You are aware that every consideration of Pie, advantage tempted me to go with my command, both as to its ex- tent and the pay which I was to receive. In refusing to gol periled my official standing and my reputation— everything that is dearest to a military officer; and what personally could I faint Nothing but the con- sciousness of doing what I believed to be my duty to my men, to the army, and to the country. I knew that the ‘vesrel on which I was ordered to em! was not a sea- worthy vessel, and that the lives of my men were there- by te ‘be endangered without any adequate reason. I Bnew that such veasels had been repeatedly employed without the least necessity, and that many valuable lives bad been sacrificed. The fate of the San Francisco was fresh in my memory. I could not forget that soldiers who had honored their country on the battle field—that officers, the pride and ornament of the army, had per- ished—wmiserably perished—swept away in a moment, to be seen no more until the sea shall give up ite dead—victims to the unworthiness of the ‘vessel on which they had embarked, I determined that if it were in my power this abuse should cease—that the livee of soldiers should not thus recklessly and care- Jessly be thrown sey. With my convictions could I bave done less than this? Did not the voice of reason, of justice, of humanity, call me todo asIdid? To me it belonged to watch over the safety of my men; that safety I could not secure oy embarking with them on Yoard an unworthy vessel. I could not control the winds of heaven, or the billows of the deep. My last hope was in taking the responsible and painful position I did. For them, and not for them only, but forthe whole army, have I done all that I could—offered up myeelf, if necessary, asa victim. It was the act of my life that cost me the sternest struggle; in no battle scene has my moral fortitude ever been put to so severe and painful 3 tert. Ishrank from it as Inever shrank from death, and now I leave yon to judge what Ihave done, and to speak my acquittal or condemnation. At the conclusion of this defence the court room was cleared, none but the members being allowed to be Present, and about two hours after the court adjourned sine die. What was done in this interval it is impossible ‘to say, as the decision has not been announced, and will not be until it is first placed ia the hands of the Presi- dent. Major Sprague, we understand, left yesterday for Washington, with the minutes of the proceedings and the decision of the Court, which will be made known ; sitber to-day or to-morrow.

May 16.—The trial of Wm. Turner, Hugh Mooney, and Wm. Murray, indicted for making false returns of the fall election in the Twentieth ward, was continued to- day. At the sitting of the Court, Mr. McKeon, one of counsel for the defence, called his Honor’s attention to a letter and advertisement that in the Haratp, calling upon persons who had voted for Alderman Tucker at the last election to come forward and give testimony. He did not intend to impute any improper motives to the prosecuting officers, but he consider that a seri- ous error injudgment had been committed. He knew not by what means, unless he had their examinations, fall could justify the statement made in the letter, that there were a hundred men who had yoted for Cum- ming H. Tucker—thereby branding his clients in ance. It appeared. by evidence that there were venty-two, and the statement that there were any most gratuitous. Of all cases he thought elec- tion frauds should be most carefully treated; but it | seemed that they were to have a public meeting in the Park, for the purpose of this prosecution; and he rose to enter his protest against the unealled for and dangerous Precedent which had been set in this matter. Mr. Hall made no reply, but proceeded to call several witnesses for the prosecution, who deposed that the: had voted the regular ticket of Cumming H. Tucker.” The total number of persons eo testifying, up to last bays was forty-nine. Ex-Alderman Peck deposed that the defendants had given in the returns to him as Supervisor of the ward, on the Thoreday after election, and called on the Suntay following to say that they bad made an error, and put in an emended return. The Court adjourned till Wednesday, at 11 A. M., when the ohms to will resume the exaniuation of witness- es_who voted for Alderman Tucker. Munictpal Affairs. PROCEEDINGS IN THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

A PUBLIC NUISANCE. ba Van Brunt.and Watrous against Downing, City In- spector.—The establishment belonging to the plainti(fs, against which the City Inspector has been directed by an order of the Board of Health to proceed, is unquestion- ably a nuisance. It has been proved before me by a mass of incontrovertible evidence, that it renders the enjoyment of life and property uncomfortable in the vicinity in which it is placed. Is this all, however? Does the mischicf or inconvenience which it produces extend no further than to render the enjoyment of hu- man life and property uncomfortable? Is it not caleu- lated to endanger and impair the health of the inhabi- tants residing in its neighborhood? It is an enormous hog establishment, where hundreds of hogs are slaugh- tered daily at certain seagons of the year, although not during the spring and su: ‘The surrounding atmos- phere, to @ con ble distance, is corrupted with fetid and noisome smells. The inhabitants in the neigh- borhood, in order in some degree to diminish the dis- gusting and sickening effect of those smells, are com- pe to keep their windows closed, and are thus de- rred from that most desirable and salutary enjoy- ment—the use of the fresh air, and are prevented from employing the rina Arpt of ventilation to remove the carbonic acid which is continually escaping from the lunge and surface of the body. Hundreds of those noi- pee eter must be continuall: Melee Ate, gether on t es to supply the place of those tha: are a) Retake ay it may readily conceived that the stench which they emit must not only most seriously inconvenience the neighborhood, but must vitiate the atmosphere and render it absolutely unwholesome. If a butcher’s slaughterhouse is a nuisance and a most un- panes nuitance, What must this establishment be—a undred glanghterhouses in one—containing a multitude of the most unclean of all animals, recking in their filth and contammating the atmosphere with their peculiar affluvia, in addition to the smells and unavoidable decom- position of the entrails, refuse pieces, and excrementi- tious matter of the slaughtered carcases of those ani- mals. I believe the owners of this establishment have adopt- ed all the means in their power to avoid these consequen- ces ; but it is utterly impossible to avoid them. The es- tablishment cannot properly be any thing else, but a nuisance, and a nuisance of a 'Y aggravated descrip- tion, more or less detrimental to the public health. Under this state of things,-] am asked to restrain the City Inspector from abating this nuisance. I will not in- bie) into the Rebenier authority under which he threatens to do this, when the Court is convinced that the nuisance exists, it will not restrain any one from abating it, but will leave him to act upon his responsi- its Having come to this conclusion, it is unnecessary to consider the regularity of the proceedings before the Board of Health, or the constitutionality of the law, whieh has invested them with judicial and other au thors in cases of this nature.

United States Circuit Court. Before Hon. Judge Betts. ACTION FOR LIBEL—HEAVY DAMAGES. May 15.—Shearjashub Spooner against John M. Dan- iels.—This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an en- gaver, re ident of Philadelphia, against John M. ian els, proprietor of the Richmond Zzaminer, for an alieged libel contained in that paper of the 14th January, 1651. The article complained of was a criticism on a reprint of Boydeli’s Ulustrations of Shakspare, issued by Mr. Spooner—with original descriptions’ of the plates— and which was characterized by the defendant as *‘ a legul swindle and a varefaced humbug attempted to be passed upon the community.” Damages were laid at $60,000. The original volu ind the copies were exhibited in court. Witnesses proved the publication of the article, and that the impressions from some of the restored ay were better than the original. Messrs. N. B. junt and H. B. Townsend appeared for the plaintiff. There was no appearance for the defence. The Judge charged the jury, and said that it was the province of newspapers to criticise works of art, and the public looked to them for opinions in matters of the kind: it was for the jury to say how far the article was justified.

M. ‘The,etock market took the back track to-day, and all the fancies fell off nearly as much as they had advanced during the previous three days. Quotations rule now about the same as at this time last week, and the mar- ket has all the indications of another depression, The | fact is the bulls have no backbone. They have no strength to carry stocks, and what is more, have no dis- position to enter into speculations. The market is com- pletely bare of speculators for a rise. We do not see how the bears contrive to put out contracts to one-half the extent reported. None of the brokers believe in an ad- vance in prices. We have not seen a good strong bull in Wall street for weeks, and have been on the lookout for some sanguine speculator for a rise who could give some plausible, sensible reason why fancy stocks should | improve; but we have looked in vain. If there are any bulls in the market they keep very quiet, and operate silently. At the first board to-day, Canton €ompany fell off 2; per cent; Mlinois Central Bonds, 24 New Yerk Central Bonds, 3; Nicaragua, ; Cumber- land, 3g; New York Central Railroad, 1; Stonington, +4; Erie Railroad, 34; Harlem, 34; Reading Railroal, 44; Cleveland and Toledo Railroad, %;, The favorable bank , returns for last week have not been sufficient to sus- | tain the stock market. The decline to-day, and the pre- vious depression, have not been caused by any etringency | in money matters, for the supply of capital is abundant, as showr by the increase in deposits. The depreciation in market value has been brought about by a gradual disappearance of confidence from the public mind, and the genera] distrust that exists relative to tnancial operations of all kinds, After the adjournment of the board the following sales of stocks were made at auction, by Simeon Draper:— $1,000 Great Western (Ill ) R.R., 1st mortgage, in- ~ terest added... 0.004 . $1,000 do. do. 100 shares Madison, Indian 86 do Canandaigua and Also the following securities, payable ten per cent day of sale, and the remainder, with interest at six per cent per annum, on delivery of stock, 1st of July next :— 200 sharee Canton Co. 76 Cumberland Coal Co 300 New York and Erie Railroa: 80 Reading Railroad. 100 Harlem Railroad. . 140 Cleveland and Toledo Railroad. . The rteamship Africa, from this port for morrow (Wednesday), will carry out about half a million of specie, apd it ix reported that the steamship Wash- ington, from this port on Saturday, for Southampton, will take out nearly a milion. The total shipments this week will be very heavy. The following gentlemen were this day elected direc. tors of the New York and Harlem Railroad Company for the ensuing year:—George L. Schuyler, Charles Denison, Nelson Robinson, William C, Wetmore, Thomas W. Lud- low, Robert Schuyler, Richard M. Blatchford, Gouver- neur Morrie, Henry R.

An increased energy and vigilance on the part of tite Che. sapeake and Obio Canal Company are manifesting them. selves and producing the best results, A slight injury to the canal last week was very promptly repaired, although it somewhat checked shipments for three days. T! company is now in active operation. It has re ders fo: 000 tons of coal since the 18th April, at satis- factory prices, deliverable at Baltimore and Alexandria in the course of the season, at the convenience of the company, with an increasing demanil for all they can get forward during the year. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port today—May 16—were, received, $120,601 50; paid, $26,318 80—balance, $8,402,024 45.

The rate of discount is the same as last month, but the bullion in the coffers of the Bank of England hae been €, and although money is easy for firet rate paper, bankers and cap’ diecoun bills which do not bear that character.
