The twenty-eighth Aniversary of the New York City Tract “Society, and the thirty-second of the femalo branch, was held last night in the Dutch Reformed Chureh, Lafayette place.

Tux SAVINGS BANKS.—We are supposed to have cast a reflection on the safety of some savings bank institu- tions, in our article in yesterday's paper relative to the monetary panic and the run upon the banks, by naming Of the same—In favor of increasing the salary of R.S, | the Bowery, Chambers street and Seamen’s as secure and reliable institutions, while we neglected to sa; whether the Manhattan, Merchants’ Clerks, Greenwic and Emigrant banks were secure or not. Now, in justice to the stability of the latter banks, we must say that nothing has yet been discovered in their managemeng to create amy apprehension on the part of depositors as to their character for prompt payments, Parsons afraid of payment being stopped at any of these banks will be depriving themselves of half a year’s interest by drawing fechas before on ie eset tee when thy rectors are com) law to furnish » ata their affairs to the Legislature.

The ‘person we have appointed to this work is a converted Sew, acquainted with Jewish prejudices, and familiar with Jewish arguments. These he bas examined in the light of Divine ftevelation, and having clesrly seen that Jesus was the Messiah, he has embraced him as all his alvation and all his desire, and now goes amongst the people of his own nation with advan’ that Gentiles do not possess, and tells them of the gs he has tasted and handled of the word of life. Rey, Mr. Giuuerre came forward at the conclusion of the above report, and addressed the meeting. He spoke of the great benefits which the poor derived from the reading of tracts, 8 ferred upon the whole community by the reading of them. This was to be seen in the increased number of communicants who had been added to the church, and fn the large field over which the operations of the Tract Scoiety had been extended. Rev, Mr, Rump next addressed the meeting upon the pocossity of the oxisteuce of such # society, aad the 4 the great good which was con- | t cordance with the noticg Hublished in the morning pa- | pers, the special committee appointed by the Board of Aldermen to receive and examine all plans for a new City Hall, met in the chamber of the Board yesterday at twelve o'clock, and after waiting about half an hour without receiving any, they did the next best thing un- der the circumstances—adjouri Copies of two of | the plans already received were lying on the desks, but these have been already fully described. When the next meeting of the committee will be held we are unable to say, but we presume due notice of it will be published. It is to be hoped they will be more successful in their next attempt—that 1 A if their minds are not already | made up on the subject. Tuk FIREMEN AND CoAL Passers’ Striks.—A large meeting of the firemen and coalheavers was held last Tuesday evening at Kerrigan’s, No. 22 White street, Mr. James Mack in the chair. There wasa large attend- ance, and much feeling was expressed as to the course pursued by the owners of the steamships in reducing the wages of the operatives. A committee was appoint- | ed to make preparations for holding another meeting, We understand that con- siderable excitement still exists in relation to this strike, and that at the departure of every steamer a ase of police is in attendance to preserve order. The tar of the West shipped a crew at the reduced rates, and when she was leaving the dock on Tuesday a large number of the discontented workmen assembled, and were it not for the presence of s large police force, vio- lence might have been attempted. The steamers now eaving port, & general thing, are shipping green hands. A Case vor THE Misstonary Soctertxs.—A deaf and dumb man, the Rev.

Ignorant of this unfortunate man’s revious history ourselves, we eall the attention of the otestant missionary societies to his melancholy situa- tion. They probably, or some of them, are aware of the extent of his merits, and certainly have the means for his relief. Jnquire at 347 Broadway, for Dr. Norman. Tre New Jersey RarLroap.—Cnancs or Hove,—The winter arrangement for trains on the New Jersey Rail- road commences on the 15th inst., when the 7 A. M. train will be discontinued, The 10 A. M. train will run, however, as usual. The 4% P.M. train for Philadel- hia will be changed to 4 P. d the 434 and 6 P. . from Philadelphia will be merged into one train, and will leave at 5 P.M. During the obstruction of the Del- aware by ice, the 10 A. M. and 4P. M. trains from New York will run to Kensington. The alteration in the way trains are trifling, as will be seen by reference to the ace: tisement. Work ror THe Crry Insrector.—Hamersley atreet, from Greenwich té Hudson, since the construction of a sewer, as been left in a wretched condition for the last three or four weeks, and is likely to remain so during the whole winter unless the Street Inspector or Contractor attends to it before we are visited with a snow storm. ‘The state things are now in makes it impossible to free the gutters, as the law directs, on account of the dirt and stones which have been suffered to remain there. Rew Over wy aN Erautn Avenue Car—~Narrow Es- care.—Mr. Theodore Hammond, while crossing the track of the Eighth Avenue Railroad slipped and fell, and was run over by car No. 32, which was coming up at the time. Fortunately, he fell in the middle of the track, | and was not severely injured by his mishap, He was taken to his residence No. 115 Bank street. ‘Tux Harp Trees anp THe Lawyers.—The old adage that “it's an ill wind that blows nobody good,” is ex- in the effect the present monetary embarross- on the lawyers.

He was only insured for $7,000, when stock is estimated at from $10,000 to $12,000.

Aman named Michael Hawkins, was arrested by Ser- geant Sandford and officer Connor, of the Twenty-first ward police, charged with having passed a counterfeit five dollar bill on the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank, of Easton, Pennsylvama, Itappears that the prisoner went into the dry goods store of John Hill, in Second avenue, near Thirty-first street, and maki chase, offered the counterfeit in exchange for the goods. Mr. Hill suspecting the bill to have been ® counterfeit, sent out for the police and had Hawkins arrested. being taken to the station house and being searched, $53 | in good money was found concealedj in the lining of his coat. Anotiee of these counterfeits had been alto pass- ed ups a German manin this ward, named Bulling. Hawkins was brought before Justice Clark, yesterday morning, at the Jefferson market police court, where, on bay questioned relative to the charge imputed to him, a les aded poverty as an excuse for the crime, although was found on his person. He also said be found tl money in the street, The court, however, did not relish fory, and accordingly committed him to prison for mination. | ALLEGED SEDUCTION UYDER PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. Yesterday, officer Sweeney, of the Lower Police Court, | arrested a man named Christian Adolph Gotz, on a wai | rant issued by Justice Bogart, wherein he stands charged with having sedneed Maria Walter, now residing at 127 Cedar street, under promise of marriage. The complaint states that some months ago the accused became ac- quainted with this woman, and uuder solemn promises of marriage induced her to stray from the paths of vir- tue and innocence, The accused, it is stated, is a mar- ried wan, and has a wife and family at Butffalo, in this State. The whole case, however, looks very improbable. The prisoner was conveyed yesterday afternoon before Justice Bogart, who committed him to the Tombs for examination. It is said that one of that pettifogging class of lawyers who frequent the Tombs managed to ob- tain $100 from Gots by promising to have him liberated immediately on his being brought before the magistrate. Instead, however, of the accused being liberated as he expected when he parted with his money, he was con- signed to cell in the Tombs. ARREST OF ALLEGED BURGLARS. About two o'clock yesterday morning, the occupants of the house No, 11] Hester street were awakened by the noise of burglars upon the premises. One of the in- mates instantly getting out of bed, alarmed the burglars, who beat a quick retreat for the street. Their purauer, however, did not give up the chase here, but following them gave the alarm to the police, who’ joining in the chase, succeeded after a short struggle in arresting the fellows. On being taken to the station house by officers King, McCord and Bomstead, they gave their names as John Smith and John Farrell. They were conveyed yes- terday afternoon before Justice Welsh, who committed them for examination on the charge of burglary. PROBABLY A FATAL ASSAULT WITH A CART RUNG. Tuesday evening, about 6 o’clock, an altercation took | place between Dennis Carrick and Hugh Hagen, two emi- grant runners, on the dock foot of Chambers street, and in the affray Carrick seized a cart rung and struck Hagen « i } pT | a violent biow on the head, knocking him insensible, - “4 | and then ran off the dock, pursued by several persons. Wikis kurber | Officer Powell,of the Third ward, hearing the alarm, came Increase ....... 04 | to the spot and took Carrick into custody in West street, umber aaaatites | and conveyed him to the station house. The injured | man was conveyed to the New York H- pital, still in an insensible condition, and the physicians gave their opin- ion that they did not think he would survive throughout the night. e unfortunate man is not expected to re- cover. SELLING LOTTERY POLICIES. Aman named John Brown, keeping an office at Thirty- first street and Seventh avenue, was arrested by the Twentieth ‘ward police, charged on the complaint of Anna M. Miller, of 164 Thirty-second street, with having sold her a lottery policy for the sum of eleven cents. She alleges that she has on other occasions been in the house of the prisoner, and while there bought several other policies. Justice Clark held him to bail in the sum of $300 to answer. A DRUG STORE BURGLARIOUSLY ENTERED AND ROBBED, During the confusion attending the fire in the neigh- borhood of Forty-first street and Eighth avenue, some burglars took the opportunity to break into the drag store of ex-Coroner Ives, at the corner of Forty-first street and Eighth avenue, and steal all the change from the money drawer before any discovery of their presence was made apparent to the occupants of the house. Another set of burglars made an attempt to break into a store in the same vicinity about the same hour, but were frustrated in their designs by the inmates of the house, who, hearing their noise, raised an alarm, upon which the burglars fied.

FIRE IN FIFTIETH STREET, Yesterday morning, between 2and 3 o'clock, a fire broke out in the grocery store of John Smith, situated at the corner of Fiftieth street and Ninth avenue. The flames spread rapidly to a frame building adjoining, and both were consumed. Three other small frame buildings were also considerably damaged by the fire.

FIRE IN ORCHARD STREET, Between 2 and 3 o’clock a fire was discovered on the shingle roof of a frame tenant building rear of 52 Or- chard street.

IMPORTANT TO GOVERNMENT DEFAULTERS, Dec, 13.—T7he United States vs. James Monroe and Others.—This is an action to recover balance due the United States by defendant Monroe, as an Assistant Pay- master. The suit was comme! in 1833, and Mr. Lo- renzo Hoyt now appeared for the defendant and moved to postpone the trial until next term, on the grounds that his client was out of town, and that he was not pre- pared to try the cause. Mr. Joachimssen, for the govern- ment, opposed the motion. He said that this case with | several others had been on the calendar and undis of for several years. ‘That it appeared that the suit w: commenced in 1833, to recover public moneys aivanced L the government to a disbursing officer, and a balance of about $4,000 has remained unaccounted for upwards of twenty-one years, nearly trel the original amount with accumulations of interests, account had, at the defendants request, been several times stated at the treasury, and all with a like result, of a large balance gainost him.
