THE EMPIRE CITY BANK, THE CASE OF SCENES AND INCIDENTS, &., &., ‘ko. Interesting Scene on Board the Steamship Iim- pire City. THR DEPABTURE OF 4 YOUNG (BAN PREVENTED BY ONK OF THB JUNTA--SINGULAR MBETING OF SEVE- RAL OUBANS AND THE #PANISH CONSUL. A scene of a rather interesting charactér occurred on board the Empire City, yesterday afternoon, about ten minutes before-her departure for Havana. As it was ® matter in which a member of the Cuban Junta and the Spanish officials here are somewhat concerned, wo will detail all the circumstances fer the benefit of our readery, Frank Hernandez, a Cuban youth about sixteen years of age, whose parents reside in Cuba, was placed by them, somo time since, under the charge of his uncle, Don Joseph Elias Hernandez, a resident of Brook” lyn, and a member of the Cuban Junta, Young Hernan- dez was placed at the Institute of Claverack, a little vil- lage situated about two miles from the town of Hudson, visiting his uncle during the holidays. Thursday last, four gentlemen, as we are informed, among whom were thepanish Consul, Mr. Francis Stoughton, and Mr. Cristobald Curnobeli, called at the Institute, and showed the principal—Mr. Gardiner—letters from the ptrents of Hernandez, requesting him to return home at once, In compliance with the desire of these gentlomsn Hernandez translated the letters to Mr. Gardiner and two other principals, after which they consented to his de- parture with them. But it appears that one of his schoolmates, named Armstrong, suspected that all was not right, as the uncle was not prevent and did not seem to have any participation in the affair. He determined, therefore, to make that gentleman acquainted with it, and sent him the following telegraphic despatch: — CLAVERAOK, Feb. 1, 1855. ' To Josxrn Herxanprz, 191 President street, Brooklyn:— Frank was taken away from school thi his will, by four men. Are they friends or enemies? An- swer in haste. B.C. P, ARMSTRONG. This was the first intimation that Mr. Heroandez had of the matter; and suspecting rightly that it was the in- tention of the parties to take him to Havana, as the Empire City was to sail yesterday, he resolved on going abosrd of that vesrel a few minutes before she sailed. On doing sohis suspi- cions were confirmed by seeing his nephew there in company with Mr. Carnobeli and the Spanish Vice Con- sul, Mr, Chacon. After satisfying himself that it was against his consent he was leaving the country, he took him ashore, and the vessel proceeded on its voyage at two o'clock, leaving both him and Mr. Carnobeli, with whom he was to have gone to Havana, in this city. Mr. Hernandez, who is a Cuban exile, and, as we have said, a member of the Cuban Junta, believes that the whole thing is a conspiracy of the Spanish government to get the boy into their power for some purpose beet known to themselves; and that his parents are either ignorant of or unwillingly made a party to it. These are the simple facts as stated to us by the friends of young Hernan- dez, The other side of the story is, ay may be supposed, somewhat different. The following are the particalars which we have ascertained fom Mr. Stoughtos, and who has for several years held the postof Spanish Consul ia this city:— » . Mr. 8. received some time ago a note from Mr. Cristo- bal Carnobeli, of Havana, informing him of his arrival in New York with letters from Don Francisco Hernandez Tre letters, he stated, were directed to the Spanish Con- sul, authorizing him to act as h's representative, and begging him to send his son back to Havana by the jay, against accordance with the requ st of the father, visited the institution, and placed the letters ia the possession of the son, who, as we have stated, read them to the prin- cipals; and, according to the account of Mr. §., expressed his willingness to go home at onx. Mr. Stoaghton says further, that it was his uncle who refused to let him leave the country at the very moment the voxsel was about to sail. In addition to this statement, we received the following communication from Mr. Carao- deli: TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Tarrived here on Saturday lost in the steamer from Havana, commissioned by Don Francisco Hernandes, of Havana, to take charge of his son, aged fifteen years, at the Claverack Institute, and bring him back to his father and mother. The father gave me a letter for the Spanish Consul in this city, authorizing and empowering him to act av his representative to claim the return of his son and assist me in getting him howe. Lalso brought letters from the father and mother to their said son, directing him to return, The Consul and myself went “tax of three cents which the company have lately levied yesterday to Claverack Academy. The son was called (who knows me well), and ke translated to tte princi- pal of the Institute said power of bis father to the Con- sul; the son expressed a willingness to return home. Being about to depart in the Empire City to-day, for Havana, the son was forcibly cetained by a number of foreigners, who would not allow him to depart. CRISTOBAL CARNOBELI. New Yorx, Feb 1885. It is hardly protable that the affair will end hero, as Mr. Hernandez will doubtless cause some investigation THE WHIG YOUNG MEN’S COMMITTEE.

DisTcRMANCe IX THE HARLEM Rartnoap Cans,—Quite an exciting disturbance occurred yesterday in the cars of the nine o’clock train from Harlem, occasioned by the refusal of one of the pasasngers to submit to the extra City Intelligence. Tux WorkixGmxy 1x Tompains Square.—About one hundred persons assembled yesterday morning, in Tomp- ima square, in response to an advertisement in the morning papers. At about twelve o’clock, an odd-look- ing individual made his eppearance, bearing in his hand a sbepherd’s crook, and on it an Américan flag tied with crape. He proceeded to deliver an incoherent ramblln; discourse about the rich and the poor, soup houses an: clothing stores, until bis audience began to melt away, and he was at length left with about a dozen auditors, There were no other speakers, and the assemblage had entirely dispersed an hour after they collected. The day of workingmen’s meetngs is evidently past, at least for the present. Tux Last DopGs.—Yesterday « young man, who gave his pame as Williams, was brought to the Chief's ofice, charged with being a principal operator in a scheme which certainly exhibiis great ingenuity, ond dignifies swindling into one of the fine arts, It appears that for some time past country dealers have been notified by certain bogus exprers companies, Crd valuable pack- upem all persons who do not purchase tickets, It ap- pears that Capt.

When it became evident that Capt. Groton would not submit to the extraordimary demand, the cars were stopped and prepsrations were made to put him off the train, The conductor thinking he was not equal to the task, called to bis aid a number of Irish laborers upon the road, who not being properly instructed as to the particular individual they had to deal with, made an almost indiscriminate attack, which ths passengers re- sisted ; but before the affair became serious, Alderman Wakeman, of the Twelfth ward, made his appearance Wright and Beary Parker, were arrested yesterday LY tects of the sald Empire City Bask roe ud it further apy Em Cit, had ‘executed en fostrament Dearing date the one thousand eight bundred aud fifty-five, purport be an assigomeut in trust of all the assets of bank, to Smith Barker, Jamos Con- ntrand Charles 5.
