In order to ailord this reduction, we are pbliged to adopt the cash system; aad we believe that oar friends and the public generally will be even better gerved than heretofore, by # «trict adhereuce to this principle. In regulating our prices, we have adopted our national currency, and have, as faras possible, made the prices in decunals’ The price will be marked on every piece of music. The non-copyrights thus: ‘“Ke- duced price, — cents,” and the copyrights thus: “Copy- right, —— cents.” All the non-conyright musie printed previous to this arrangement will be sold at one-half old prices. A similar reductiou will be made in in- struction books, &e. Since the study of music has be- come an essential branch of edu ation, a reduction in the price of sheet music has been demanded by the puble, and we have no doubt that the pian we have adopted will increase our sales sufficient to warrant us in carrying out our enterprise to its fullest 3 cata ogue already contains the works of the best Euro- pean authors, and we will continue to reprint such as jmay hereafter be published, ailof which will be sold at Jess than one-half the prices of the foreign copies. We will continue the manufacture o' pianofortes, guitars, flutes, ke., and also the importation of every article of musical merchandise, and will sell for cash only, at greatly reducea prices, Orders from any part of the country, enclosing the money, will be romptly and faithtully attended to.

Yesterday, Coroner O'Donnell proceeded to the Tombs and examined Terence Hamill, charged with having beaten his wife (Eliza) to death, on New Year's night. It seems from the following examination that the prisoner’s name is not Hammond, as was at first re- ported. The prisoner being examined according to law | on the above charge, and being Informed that he was at | liberty to answer or not, all or any questions put to | him, stated as follows :— Q.' What is your name? A. Tereves Hamill; T was called Thomas Hammond by some of my acquaintances, 'Q. How old are you’ A. Forty years of age. Q. Where were you born? A. Ireland. Q Where do you live? A. No, 32 Trinity place. Q. What is your cocupation! A. A porter in a bonded warehouse. Q. Have you anything to any; if so, what relative to the charge preferred against you? A. No one can re. | gret the death of my wife more keenly than myself; I wan deeply latoxicated at the time, and knew not what occurred, Taken this 4th day of January, 15 Coroner, CHARGE OF BURGLARY. Two young men named Jobn Larkin and John Cun ningham, were errested by officer Burke and others of the Seventeenth ward police, charged with haying on New Year's night forcibly broken into and entered tho store of Bernard Ritz, of No, 214 Firstavenue, and steal ing therefrom small ebange and a watch,in all valued at $90. The window shutter bao, it seems, been forced open, and the property in question abstracted from a desk that stood in the store. The prisoners were taven before Justice Weod at the Exsex market police court, who committed them for exainination, OBTAINING MONEY UNDER PALSE PRETENCES. Yesterday officers Martin and McClusky, of the Lower police court, arrested a man named Louis Nathan, keep- ing a emall jewelry store at No. 397 Eighth avenue, charged with obtaining five dollars under false and fraudulent pretences, from Abraham Shinfield, under | the following circumstances:—It apprars from the afli- davit of the complainant that he bought » lump of ma- tal represented by Nathan to be pure gold, and paid him for the same $5, but which on examination proved to be nothing more than brass of the poorest quaiity A Mr. John Harmon, of 41 Broome street, also testified that ke was induced to part with $550, under similar representations on the part of Nathan and another per son yet unknown, The prisoner was helu to ball to answer the charge. ASSAULT AND BATTERY. Aman named Join Teho, « German baker, doing basi- | ness in Washington «treet, was arrvsted on Wednesday | night by officer Poole, of the Ninth ward police, charged | with having committed a violent assault upon Rudolph | Burley, & workman in his employ. ile was taxen be- | fore Justice Brennan, at the Jeiferson market police | court, whe held him to bail in the sum of $500 to an- swer the offence, Burley, who was badly injured, was conveyed to the York Hospital for medical treat- ment. GRAND LARCENY. Aman named Patrick Trasy was arrested yesterday by officer Nicholes, of the Eleventh ward police, charged with having stolen $50 from Dennis O'Connor, of 100 Sheriff street. The evidence went to show that Tracy was seen taking the money from the house of O'Conaor, and appropriating the same to his own use. He was taken tefore Justice Wood, at the Essex market police court, who fully committed him for trial. THE LATK COUNTERFEIT BILL CASE. Yet ani ‘her complaint was made against Sarah Acker- man and Eliza Sheppard, arrested on Tuesday evening for passing counterfeit $5 bills on the Phaoix Rank of Westerly, R.1. Mr. Alfred Jarrard, of 306 Kivington street, stated to Justice Wood that on Wednesday weer these prisoners passe! one of the counterfeits w and received good money in exchange, for article 4 purchased from him. He ilentifiet both pr the persous that had imposed upon his credulity, COMPLAINT DISMISSED, Justice Ondorne dismissed the complaint preferred against Jerome B. Fellows, John R. Finley, Wm. R. Tay ler, and O. F. Wainwright, by Walter R. Moore, who ed them with having conspired together to cheat and defraud Booth, Edgar and Co, out of $10,000 worth of goods, on the ground that sufficient proof ha! not been brought forward to substantiate the charge pre- ferred against them.

To assiat him in his labors, the Mayor has directed the police officers to report all cases of neglect on the part of the contractors; so that it will be somewhat singular if they fail in effecting the object in view. Broadway and a few other thoroughfares have been relieved of a portion of their mud; but, as it wasavery small portion, they require another toush of the broom. This is a duty, in fact, that should be performed once a day in su. woather as we have at present. The following rvports in relation to this mat- ter have been made by the police cap! ins of the several wards mentioned — First Ward.—The culvert at the corner of Greenwich and Rector streets is in » very bad condition. The water overflows the street and sidewalk, rendering them im- passable, Second Ward.—Beckman and Spruce streets, Peck slip, Ann and South streets, Maiden lane, Nassau from Lil to Spruce, Fulton from Broadway to South, Water from Maiden lane to Peck slip—are all ina fltay condition. Eleventh Ward.—The Captain of this district saya:— “It becomes my duty to report the streets of this ward in a most filthy condition. I cannot particularize one move than another—they are all exceedingly dirty, there having been nothing done in the way of cleaning them for about two months, The ash carts are very irregular, Some streets they do not visit once a week, and some not at all; the consequence is, the ashes and garbage find thelr into the streets, in spite of all Fassitte viel nce. Toenipsfret Ward,—The Sixth avenue, from Twenty- sixth to 1s ina very filthy cond ety second streets tion. The gutters are filled with mad, and the citizens complan that the ash carts don’t come round to take away the ashes. But as will be seen from the following, this is not the only éuty which the police have to perforin—they are required also to report every lamp that is aot lit at night on their respective beats :— Offiver Andre, of the Eighth ward, lamps ip Prince street were not Jit the nig and several others in William, Pearl an were also extinguished, In the Eleventh ward the work of reform bas been commenced in a most vigorous style by the police cap- tain, who is resolved on carrying out his instructions to the fullest extent. He has notified all the residents to | have their sidewalks in front of their dwellings swept | every day, and has caused several tons of ashes to be | removed from the most filthy localities in that filthlest of wards, He has met with a little opposition from some who have been so accustomed to the mountains of dirt before their doors, that they bad at last come to regard them as permanent fixtures; while othors grumbled and endeavored to evade the execution of the ordi- nance, by making the most ridiculous excuses, Let him continue to enforce his orders, and we have no doubt that at the end of a week or two all opposition will have ceased, In the meantime we trast that all good citizens will co-operate with him, and the captains of the other wards, in promoting the cleanliness aad | health of the city. The following bave been registered on the book of complaints, at the Mayor's office, since Wednesday — H.
