Itis true we often make ‘ten strikes,” it is more frequently in matters of news, in dis- cing all competitors as journalista—in sweeping with a single rell of the steam press, all the fry newspapers, which stand like so many for our bowling and our sport. With this d of game we are familiar, and our pikes” are an every day occurrence. The rule in case, most emphatically, is ‘to follow our hand,” follow up the game, strike after strike, until there “spare ball” to give our adversary—if we have one o will live so long--who will live until we make ph a break in the which likely than it eters ago. be roy dlad bas, the more surely experience directs the hana, H “beautifully less” grow the chances of our fe ruaaing 0 © trike,” 60-00 to admsitan adversary his is preciiely the course of ex i oe players b 3 ae “our e, is a fast game, H extensively p! , aS jie on account of ysica] exercise it gives as the pleasure it bri hit. It may be called ‘a winter play,” for in rm weather it is. little too much like work for admirers, and is generally substituted by billiards games bringing the muscles less into requisi- no, There are various ways of playing “ten, 8”—the “cocked hat,” “full set,” “pony ball,” ngle string,” ‘double string,” ‘four handed,” —and there are special rales governing each ime. Bnt the main game, and that in regard to » fich our correspondent inquires, is the “full set,” ich all the pins are standing. This game is led with thirty balls to each player, divided into rolls, of three balls each. Now, John Doe and d Roe begin to ploy.

Boaep or Counciiuen, July 12, 1854. report of the minority of the Com- Boatd of Aldcrmea, to Tlatioa vo. openisg’ Albany 5) openin, street, wan received, laid on the table and ordered to be printed:— RY 2. minority ee Meng be! Streeta beg report in favor of a concurrence AN tse Board of the ordinan with the reper December, 1853, to extend Albany street to y, for the following reasons and coucla- sions, to which they have ved after @ searching investigation:— First. That the extension is not wanted by the public. The street nal be args for ae purpose of transportation, on account of the steep- ness of the ascent from Greenwich street to Broadway, which is ge from any disinte- restea examination of the ground. The cartmen who would be the ‘ies most interested, have not only not petitioned for it, but to the number of more than six hundred, (which is peavene nensty, if nos all, transacting business in that vicinity,) have pe- titioned for a repeal of the ordinance for the same, expressly stating their reasons, that it would be mclau 4a Can en account of the grade, it being the same as Rector and Thames streets, closely oon- tiguous thereto on each side, and being opposed t» the desecration of the graves, unless an absolute ne- cessity existed therefor. The merchants and trad- ers, also, would have a strong interest if the street was wanted. They have not asked for it, but, oa the contrary, bave petitioned in great numbers to repeal the ordinance for tue same. idly. By a statute law of this State, if a street is to be opened or widened, and an ordinance is passed for the same, and the commissioners have made their awards and assessments, it must then to the Supreme Court for confirmation; when, ould it appear that there is a majority, even of ore dollar, opposed, taken indiseriminately from the collective amount of award and assessment, the court are compelled to enter an order to diacon- tinue all proceedings, having no discretion, the act being a mandatory one. Your committee will now briefly refer to the pes sition of the owners of the property to be awarded and assessed in this matter, to see how it stands. The ordinance referred to, proposes to extend Al- bany street to Brcadway, to form a line with Pine atreet tothe East river. The Pro rty to be taken for this purpose, the value of which is ‘to be award- ed to the owners, consists of two distinct pieces of ground; the first piece consists of two lots on Green- wich street, with two lots in the rear on Trinity place, which four lots together, comprise an area of fifty feet by two hundred and thirty feet; the oo Piece & ground is Part win wpe? aN ard, running from Trinity plave road wa, , an an average front and rear of about fift; coe feet by two hundred and fifty eight and a half feet in depth, which, from its position on ape p'g £ run- ning throngh to Trinity place, is of a value five or six times greater than the four lota above referred to; the owners of this last piece of ground are op- ee tothe opening, as well as the owner of one in Greenwich street, out of the four gomposing the first piece. It is therefore manifest that aa overwhelm! ity of the amount to be award- ed is op; to mcpanings Your committee will now take a glance @ to how it stands with the property to be assessed for this matter. The assessment for benefit, according to all ordi- nary rules and practice, will be laid on Albany North river and extend- distance to the Kast river, and on the streets crosa- ing that line, extending north and south of that line, such distances as may be decided on by the Commissioners. On the said line, from the North river to the west side of Trinity place, and on the streets crossing said line, to wit: west side of Tri- nity place, Wasbington and West streets, there ap- be a small majority in favor of the opening; bat on the said line, from the east side of Trinity lace tothe East river, (a little over three tines he length of the other division of the said line, ) | and the streets crossing thesame, to wit: eas’ side of aia place, Broadway, Nassau street, William street, Water street, Front and South streets, the oppcsition may be termed unanimous, the owner of one lot only petitioning for the same. This being the case, it is, therefore, manifest that an over- uate Spetied fo the. epening. Unter ifs view are also 0) e opening. Under this view of the cele. your committee consider that itis a duty which this board owes to the taxpayers of the city, not to allow an ordinance to be on which the Supreme Court would be compelled to set aside the proceedings, and thus impose an addition to the neral tax of some fifty thousand dollars or sixty jourand dollars, if not more, for commissioners’ Ge counsel fees, &c.—a waste of money for which the city would receive no equivalent. Thirdly. As to the desecration of the graves, no one can doubt the prevailing sentiment on that sub- | ject; respect for the ashes et the dead has been universal from the Gret ages of the world to the present day, in all countries and climes, savage and civilized; it seems, indeed, to have been im- Pompe very nature by the Divine Ruler of e universe, for hia own and wise purposes, andit is a sentiment seldom trodden down and crushed but by the be tt of Mammon; but on this subject we shall not , but would merely refer to the printed remarks of Judge Wendell, be- fore the Street Committee of the of Alder- | men, and attached to this our report, (see A,) re- waks from one out of very few left of a past gene- jualities, as a jurist and a man, sre too well known for us to refer to. Foorthly, Your committee would report, that on inepection of the documents before the it aj ars there are oat about fiity applicants for tl opening; whereas remonstrating against it nomber many thousands; it is, therefore, apparent what are the wishes of the people at , in this Matter, our copstituents, to whose v bound to hearken; go where we will we find the | sentiment is ral against the opening of this street, with of a few owners of los Trinity place, and that : prevent @ great public improvement (so called,) and is, therefore, denounced in no measured terms. Whereas, the troe issue is between the owners of the said lots, and the owners of the lots, constitating an overwhelming majority, united also with the public at large; such is real Trinity Church has evidently no pecuniary interest in opposing; on the contrary, it is her interest that the street should be opened, as she would receive + large award, as hes been heretofore the case, and it would not injure Be tere oes. for the use be (5 5 no argument, pommel to thee on ‘she can bg Bn selfish motive posing opening, a solely by motives a higher character. Your com- mittee have felt it their duty to consider this subject without regard to Trivit; Church and have no more eS for ft than for the other parties interest, including the public at large, but are of opipion that the as attempted to be excited against that time honored cor- poration in this matter, have 20 foundation, and should have no weight in favor of ex- tending Albany street through that churchyard. Yoor committee, therefore, for the above reasons, recommend a concnrrence the Board of Alder- es the adoption of the following resolution:— wed, That the ordinance passed by the late Board of Aldermen, December 27, 1863, and by the Assistant Aldermen, December 29, 1853, and ap- roved by the Mayor, December 31,1853, anthor- zing the extension of Albany treet 1 h Trinity churchyard to Broadway, be, and the same is hereby, repealed. lonatio N.

A man was arrested and d upon the charge, when it was shown that the su poane cul- prit was a physician, who had opened wit his lan- cet the vein of a person who fallen down in the street in a fit. The prisoner wasof course ed; his offence was within the letter but not within the spirit of the law. sad a Levey a — jail, he should be adju guilty of afelopy, and, upon recapture, love his life. A case of the kind occurred, and the person arraigned was brought to trial, when it was shown that he bad broken jal and made his escape because the prison was on fire. He, too, was ac- quitted, for his act was vatural and proper. The fiege decided that the culprit could not be hanged cause he would not stay to be burued.

So the act would not an- thorize them to desecrate religion by tearing down our churches, the temples of the living God, and laying streets over the junds they occupied. So the act does not authorize the violation of the laws of nature, written by the finger of God upon the heart of every human creature; laws which are uni- vereal, immutable, and overruling all other laws; laws which imperatively command us to bury our mean to venerate the grave, and to abhor its vio- re United States Commisssioner’s Court.

On descending to the deck Nelson strack the second mate and knocked him down.

Brrpat Roses Versvs tHe Wixi SureT—A most melancholy circumstance, which recen‘] transpired in the eastern section of the city, affords another moornful illustration of the sweeping in- roads of death among the fair, young and beautiful, even upon the Ang toreshhold of life’s most joyous moments of love, hope and rosy antisipation. Last Thursday evening was fixed upon for the marriage rites between a youthful couple in East Baltimore. A warm affection had long existed be- tween the parties—even three “yeni ago—and ar: rangements had partly been then made for their marriage; but the match was broken off through the exertions of the young lady’s parents, whose only objection, however, to the nuptials, was the youthful age of their danghter. Shortly afterward the young gentleman departed forthe Far West, apd shortly after his arrival he opened a corres- pondence with the object of his affections, which was afterward kept up between them with untiring regularity. A few months ago, to the great joy of the lovers, the parents of the young lady consented to her marriage with her far-off suitor, who then urged and entreated for an early period to be named for the ceremony. All the arrangements were finally made, and the happy far Bar fixed upon to come off on Thursday last, the day previous to which the bridegroom bad decided on to arrive in this ty. The last Jeter received by the 1 ver from his intended, breathing fond hopes and affection- ate asp'rations, was received two days previous to his departure to fulfil the anxiously wished for engegement and throughout his journey, which Jasted something over a week, he in- dulged doubtless in the test visions of future happiness, and when on We y evening last he was whirled into this city with locomotive speed in the Western train of cars, that delightful feeling of happiness within the very gras) thrillea through every vein with the fever of delight. With all prac- ticable speed he hastened from the Camden gtreet depot to the dwelling of the parents of his - ed, in the eastern section of the city, Kuocking hastily at.the door, he was admitted by an elderly servant with a saddened face, and upon greeting the parents of the young lady, their only replies were the broken sobs and tearful exclamations of heart- felt grief. Upon motioning him onward he follow- ed them to an upper apartment, in which, by tne subdued light that entered between the bara of the closed shutters, he saw the pale, still object of his affections devoid of life and attired in a long robe of spotless white, extended upon the cooling board, awaiting her Jast repose in tue coffin and the dark silent tomb. Early that morning she had breathed ber last, after a severe conflict with the dread de: stroyer, which seized her for his own in three days frém his first approach. Beside her cold remains there could still be seen the rich brocaded wedding robes, and her chilled bat unrufiled brow was adorned with the white wreath of roses intended for her wedding crown. She is now deep beneath the earth, in the cold, silent grave, and her once Dbeauteous face, instead of mantling with a blush at congratulations and witty wedding words, is crust- ed with the green, rank mould of corruption and de- cay.—Ballimore Argus, July 13. Tnnitirme Ixcrpent.—On Saturday evening, 8th inet., as the storm that had been brewing some hours was about breaking out, a little boy of seven years of age, son of Mr. A. H. Geise, of this city, who is at present residing at Grosee Island, took under the deck of a sail boat belon; to Mr. F. W. Backus, lying at the dock with ‘1 hoisted. Ina moment after the squill strack he~ when she broke from her moorings, aud starte: toward the open lake, When first seen, she was nearly half-way across the river, and the little fel- low crawled from his place of shelter, and taken his place at the belm, endeavoring to direct his course towards the shore. Soon the rain came down in torrents; the wind bed increased to a per- fect hurricane, and the bauks of the river were lined with wailing women and children, and 8 rong men, who were powerless tookers on. Not a was im gmrcary | within reach. The sail boat had almost reached Stony Island, and the hearts of all the lookers on were for a moment relieved, expect- ing to see her ashore, when all at once she broached to, and came abruptly round again, head- ing for Grose Isle. As the boom settled round the — ‘ soe breath; 8 amo- ment the of the pilot peared, on! ay to reappear, bolding manfally to the ene Di- rectly another and flercer struck the sail; the boat was thrown upon her beam ends, and the sail and boom in the water, and cries of ‘‘he is lost—he ia gone,” were heard on all sides. Still the gallant bark held her way, _— she went about, and took her course towards Malden, and again her pilot was pisinly seen stonding at berhelm. By this time a at hud been manned and put off to Tesoue, bu before getting any distance into the river the sail beat tok another turn, heading again towards home; rhe ran straight to the middle of the river, when Mr. F.

In answer to a question of how he was getting along when the gentlemen boarded the boat, he answered thet he was preity wet ; bat added, ‘wasn't it lucky, Mr. Backus, that | was aboard of your boat when she went off?" — Detroit Advertiser, Exxcutron—The negro man convicted at our be Sen court of assault with amt to Lt je man, waa yesterday, nt about o'clock, M.

The case of Alexander Heilbronn, recently re turned to the British authorities uader the Ashbur- ton treaty, and which created such excitement in New York, and conflicting opinions between the State and federal judiciary in this city, must be fresh in the recollection of the readers of the Hexatp. Heilbronn has addressed the following letter to Joseph Thompson, Esq., Deputy Marshal, from whom, during the pendensy of his examination and subsequent to the order for his extradition, he re- ceived all the liberty consistent with a safe and proper surveillance. The youthful convict is not ungrateful, and his letter, which is written ina clear and excellent style of penmanship, shows thet he possesses @ heart and a mind worthy of a better fate. We also print the rules of the Pentonville prison, which were lithographed on the firat page of the letter paper on which the convict wrote, and a perusal of them will prove interesting to American prison officers, as well ae to the public generally. Heilbronn was delivered to the British authorities by the orders of the federal judge, on an alleged charge of forgery, which was held by one of our State’s judges (Mitchell) not to bea forgery. The English court before whom he was indicted, also ruled that the offence waa not a forgery, bat the prisoner was given in charge for another offence, for which he could not have been claimed from this country. Will our government demand that a fugi- tive who has been returned through a misinterpreta. tion of the law, may be, if-not manumitted, at sll events, released from some portion of the penal servi- tude to which he has been consigned.

Thompson, Esq.:— United States V. Marshal, &c., New York, U.S. of Awerica. My pear Sin—Gratitude for the many kindnesses received from you dwing my stay in your city, would, if no decper feeling of attachment existed, prompt the desire of maintaining the good will of so generous and so esteemed a friend; nor do I fear, tate I my position is so awfully changed, but what the kind interest you have hitherto manifested will, in spite of my aufortanate lot, be still con- tinved, #0 I now fulfil the engagement of writing to ou which I made at our Jeavet aking, on board th Proite, on Saturday, the 18th of February. Throngh Mr. Busteed, to whom I wrote from Mill- bank Prison on the 8th ult., you will moat likely have heard the particulars of my journey, my ar- raig: ment, und tinal condemnment (eaoagh ac quitted on the charge ot forgery) to six years pena servitude, a sentence which equals ten years trans- portation under the old law. When ‘quietly en- fracd in clerical pursuits for the officers of the Jnited States courts, and when you at last handed me inte the custody of the English constable, the disastrous result it attended my trial was little anticipated, though I did not expect to escape wholly witbout punishment. And I am sure that if the Hon. J. W. Nelson could have foreseen this ca- lawity he would have extended the game benefit to me which his father, the Hon. Judge Nelson, ex- tended to Kain; for the magistrate who issued the original warrant had no jurisdiction over the sub- ject matter. Previously to my trial I wrote to the prosecators soliciting their forgiveness, and assuring them of ay sincere intention to refund my defalcations, of which intention the receipt left in my desk was an earnest; but not only were they {mplacable but they set med even more invetgrate. I explained to you that motives of policy made them anxions for my removal from America, and subsequent infor- matin as well as their unmerciful persecutions have verified my opinicn. The er, too, whose address I gave you, is also unrelenting and embit- tered, so that any papers you may have sent toere for me have been refused. My being extracixed under a pretence of forgery, it was questioned by some lawyers whether the criminal court could take oe gpizance of any other chirge, for which an action had already been entered aguiust me in a civil court in America, the charge under which { was claimed having been annulled by an English judge; and had 1 been represented at tie time by an ambassador bere, 1 would have had the validity of the process examined. I have little hopes of relief from tne romised interference by the State court, it is either 0 weak or to? politic t» counteract the flat of the federal government; but a petition on my behalf, from the State Justice who first adjudicated in my cage (the Hon. Wm. Mitchell) to the Secretary of State in this 7 yo perhaps, be of more avail than a categorical demand for my re-extradi- tion, whieh you will please tell Mr. Basteed, to whom are due my sincere regards. It is rather singular that I should bave been removed here on the da; that I »ttained my majority, the 10th inst.; but must bail it rather as a good omen than otherwise, for the discipline is more salutary and the auth :ri- ties more humane and considerate than in any pri- son it has been my misfortune to have passed since my committal.

He had ever borne a good cha- racter, and was respected as a youth of amiable dis- position and steady habits. His parents are very worthy people, and are ly . It was known several months since that Howes could not survive , and a certificate to this ef- fect was procured Dr. Ellsworth and the physi- cian of the ; An ion, signed by the rom who him, others, waa to ¢ Legislature for his on the ground that his disease—the co was past cure, and that it would be ‘ing to his parents if son, an unfortunate, ough not a malicious or daa- egy young man, could be permitted to breathe jis last uoder a mother's care, and surrounded by the comforts of a home. But there were those in the Legislature who could see no mitigating circum- stances in the case of this youth, and demanded the fall extent of the Jaw’s uecree—ten years in the prison, or death within the iron doors. The petition was refused. Pending the petition, Howes was much con- cerned as to its result. He was fully aware that his remaining days upon earth were few. But when it was announced that he could not be re- leased, he became composed, and met his sad fate manfully. His mother came to see him in the rison, and speut several days in the warden’s family. She was overwhelmed with put on part- ing with him, as both of them well knew, for the last time. But Howes, already in the grasp of death, aud unable to stand erect, was more calm, having given up all worldly hopes. He sent his Jove to bis relatives and friends, and remarked that he was “‘ ready to die, and longed to reat his body in the sees genres A sorrowing heart had worn out a constitution naturally robust, and brought upon him a disease that rarely loosens its grasp upon a victim. His death, however, was as quiet a8 the sleep of a child. A short time before he died, he called the chap- Jain of the prison, who had been very kind to him, and requested that he would accomoauy his body to the home of his childhood, and leave his remains safely in the care of his parents. The chaplain Ae miced that he would doso. On Monday morning he started with the body for New Milford; where he delivered an address to a large ee ee thizing friends of the family and town’s people, who came flocking in from all directions. The chaplain informs us that he never attended a fune- ral where there was such an outburst of sympathy and deep feeling as he witnessed on that occasion; and he returns with the warmest thanks of the peo- phd of that region to the officers of the prison, and all others who haye treated the poor broken- hearted youth in akindly manner. | Screws or Two Persons In East Apincron.— | A suicide, attended with circumstances of a singular character, occurred this morning in East Abii 2, the particulurs of which, as we learn, are as follows: It seems that a young man named Isaac P. Nash, tative of Pembroke, but a resident of East Abing- belonging in Stovghton, had formed an attachment for each other, but from some cause or other they were prevented from being united in the holy bonds of wedlock. The young lady was in this city yes- terday on a visit to an aunt, and appeared in excel- lent beslth and spirits. In the afternoon she retarn- ed to her home in Stoughton, and towards evening her lover, Mr. Nash, hired a borse and chaise in East Abington and proceeding to Stoughton, took Misa Sampson to ride. This was the last which was seen of them ulive, so far as is yet known. About five o’clock this morning, Mr. John Sears, who tends Reed's will, in East Abiugton, discovered a borse and chaise (which has since proved to be the oue hired by Mr. Nash) standing near the mill, the horse beinz tied and carefully covered with a ‘lo robe. On the fence, near the chaise, Mr. Seal also found two shawls and a bonnet, which have since been identitied as belonging to Miss Sampson; and near by the same spot he also found Mr. Nash’s hat, in which was the following note: ‘My name is Isaac P. Nash. In this water you will find Tam a perfectly sane man, P. &—Bury us both together as you fin? us. ISAAC P, NASH.” Mr. Sears, upon discovering these things, went at once to the mill pond, and soon discovered the bodies of Mr. Nash and Miss Sampson in about seven or eight feet of water, with their arms encircling each other’s necks, and their wrists and arms firm- ly bound together with a stont cord. He immedi- ately drew the bodies from the water, and Coroner Reed was called to hold an inquest thereupon. Cir- cumstances are known which render it very proba- night.— Boston Journal, July 11. The following is a copy of the letter left by Miss Sampson in her chamber in Stoughton:— Srovantonr. My Dear Friend—It is with my right mind that I write there lires, and also that which I am go'ng todo. 1am tired of this world, and so is my own dear friend, so I must ay that tomorrow morning } shall be in another world; but, friend, I thank you ‘or your kindness toxarda me, which has beea very great.

My best wishes I leave to ail tho children. I did rot dream of this this morning, but please send this to aunt Chloe, which I leave and some of them will eome and got what I left. Money I leave to get them bere; it is with pain that I start from here, but I must say good bye. My Aunt Chloe and sisters, I now leave this world to yourselves, which I hope you will enjoy Don’t think of ime, only that I have gone with my companion to rest, and to meet my Father I hope ; here are my rings and his in my trunk, but all of you need not think you liave led me to this ; it is my own self. Mother, I hope you will think of father avd me; so good bye. Aunt Chloe, I have not forgotten your kindness which I guess none of us will doubt; don’t think of me. Good bye, Maddy and Jenny.

Captain Maynan dispatched a of police ia different directions in search the fugitive, who arrested him on the evening ot the 6th, A witness who saw the blow struck was arrested, and is held to give evidence.
