When, at last, the doors were thrown open there were probably between twenty and thirty members of the bar present and about as many outsiders. doors were unlocked, and before even the gas could be turnedon by the gentieman in attendance, Mr. Aung mounted cn # bench and moved, in profound darkness, that Elias Dusenbury take the chair. This motion he put at once and declared carried, and Mr. Dusenbury there- upon tock possession of the chair, On motion of the same gentleman, Mr. Francis @. Young was appointed ‘The organization was thus completed in a few ind before the hall was fully li ted, or those who ba! been waiting had all been enabled to make their way into it, After a short pause, the CiraiRway read the above call, aud inquired what was the pleasure of the meeting. A Mr. Wixeter rose and moved that a committee of five be appointed to take the matter in charge and report A ticket to a subsequent meeting. This proporition seemed to meet with little fayor, and there were loud murmurs of disapprobation, Mr. Aisrep MGINTYRE moved, as an amendment, that a pommittee of tive be appointed by the Chair to draft reso- utions expressive of the sense of the meeting, and to re- port this evening. Another gentieman, whose name the reporters could tot learn, moved to lay Mr. Wheeler’s motion on the table, and it was so disposed of by a very decided ma- jority. Mr. Mciyry2e then renewed his motion as a separate Proposition, and it was carried nem con. ‘The Cuaiaan thereupon appointed the following com- mittee:—Messrs. McIntyre, Andrews, Mountfort, Larimer and Banks. The committee retired, and in precisely four miuutes and o half returned to the hull, when Mr. BANKS reported the following resolutions:— Resolved, That in view of the various nominations for prom|- nent judicial officers ot members of the New York bar, alike distinguished tor thetr professional, as well as their political prominence. i,yvould be invidious on the part of this meeting, 1o discriminat@yand while the public good cannot in any event be macrificet, under present circumstances we feel assured that-any joint political action on the part of the profession is wholly uncalled for by this meeting. Resolved, That this meeting do now adjourn without day, ‘The reading of these resoluiions was received with considerable laughter, and cries of ‘“good;” it seemed to excite astonishment and consternation in the minds of a very small portion of the audience. Mr, BowLy moved that the meeting do now adjourn. The Cuamman put the question, and the motion was cartied very nearly unanimously, amidst loud laughter and clapping of hands, Thus endeth the “Judicial Convention’ of the bar of New York. HALF SHELL GENERAL COMMITTEE. OONGRATULATIONS ON THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN ONIO AND PENNSYLVANIA—A UNION STATE TICKETPROPOSED. Pursuant to notice the Half Shell Genero! Commttee assembled in force last evening at St. John’s Hail, corner of Bowery and Delancey street. Thos. McSpedden, of the 19th ward, was called to the chair, and D. G. Croly oifi- ciated as Secretary. After the reading of the minutes and call of the roll, the following preamble and resolu- tions were proposed by David G. Croly, of the Sth ward: — ‘Whereas, the strength of the united democracy has been ful- ly demonatrated by ‘ue glorious result of the recent elections ia ennsyivania and Ohio; and whei Bia. reas, { behooves the democracy of the Empire State, already united in princ ple, toheal their dissensfons tn regard to organizations, and ombine their efforts in support of the same ticke, in drder that they may obtain a similar triumph over the proscriptive ' Knew Notuings, the Maine law fanatics, and the black repub- 8; refore, Resolved, Thai we invite the masses of both sections of the emocratic Af 1o forget the local dissensions that now divide hem, and tenance and frown down the schemes of ‘eaperate leaders, whose personal aspirations prevent the re- nion of the democracy and a certain victory over our common nemies, Resolved, That the d of G Pennsy! nd Ohio bare our cancers, congratulations for ought and brilliant victories they bave achieved, and we, mem- ers of the Democratic Republican Union General Commitice, Jedge ourselves to do all_in our power to effect a union of the emocratic party throughout this State and city, in order to oftlcve a result a8 glorious as that atiained by our sister (eR, Rerolved. That a commitee of be appointed to consider and rey upon, if they deem it expedient, a complete slate be composed of an equal number of cand from the :0 called “hard” and “soft” State tickets, to be presented for ihe suffrages of our democratic fellow citizens.

Dan. E, Sickie8 spoke at some length in advocacy of the resolutions. The movement would spread throughout the State in his opinion and com- mand the unqualified approval ot every demo- erat who had the union of the party at heart. The victory in Obio and Pennsylvania could not be overrated in its consequences in a democratic point of view, for the republicans, so-called, would ‘tly weakened there- by, and the conflict in the State of New York narrowed down to the united democracy and Know Nothings.

COURT MARTIAL UPON LIEUT. HALDEMAN, UNITED STATES ARMY. Exevenms Day.—The Court opened at 1034 o'clock Brevet Lieut. Col. Thomas Swords presiding. William Selyerthem was called for the prosecution, and testified that he was now in his second enlistment in the army; had been mostly engaged in the kitchen at Fort Columbus; be cut up the fresh beef, but did not issue it; he bad taken to Major Backus, Lieut. Haldeman, Lieut. Willard and Col, Abercrombie fresh beef about twice a week, in quantities from twelve to fifteen pounds each, during the time these officers were stationed at Fort Co- lumbus; about three weeks since he ceased doiug so, in- asmuch as Major Backus stopped taking it, which’ the other officers shortly did. Sergeant O’Lary, of Permanent Company A, was next sworn, but nothing was elicited additional to the testi- mony of previous witnesses. ‘The Judge Advocate read extracts from the official re- turns made to the Department at Washington, as to the amount of fresh beef alleged to be receivod at Fort Colum- bus from the Ist of January, 1856, to the end of Septem- ‘The cage on the part of the prosecution here closed. J. J. Weiring, of the Marine corps, was the first wit- ness called for the defence. He testified that the charac ter of Sergeant William Head was not now good; that he was in the frequent habit of drinking intoxicating liquors to excess, and that he would not at present be- lieye him under ‘oath. Upon his cross-examination, he had had frequent difficultios with Sergeant Head, ‘and on one occasion the Sergeant had him placed under ar- rest for resisting and striking him, but that the charges were dismissed. The reason he would not believe him under oath was curiously stated, as owing to the fact that when he was in one of his dronken fits he would not give him the papers which, as clerk, it was necessa- ry he shouldghave in order to make out his accounts. Adjourned to this morning, at 11 o'clock. Coroners’ Inquests. AccWENTALLY Po1songD.—Coroner Gamble held an in- quest yesterday, at No. 6 Clinton place, upon the body of a man named William Tarrant, lately a waiter in the employ of William Curtis Noyes, of the above number, who died from the effects of a dose of colchicum, which he took in a mistake for brandy. Deceased, it appeared, was in the habit of taking this medicine for rheumatism, andon Sunday night took two table spoonfuls of the ison, supposing it to be brandy, a bottle of which he had alongside the colchicum, to be used algo as a remedy for his disease. Ho was discovered in a dying condition on Monday morning, when 2 doctor was im- mediately sent for, but medical aid was of no avail, as the unfortunate man was in the agonics of death when he arrived. The jury in this case rendered a verdict of “Death by taking a large dose of colchicum by mistake.” Conoxen’s EXAMINATION ON A CHARGE oF Homicipr.— Corner Hilton proceedea to the City Prison yesterday, and examined Mary Manion, ona charge of accelerating the death of Maria Franklin, on the 8th inst., by striking her on the head while intoxicated.

The great four mile race run over the Broad Rock Course, near Richmond, on Monday, $500 entrance, $100 forfeit, for which there were no less than ten entries, was won by Wm. H. Gibbons’ bay mare Philo. This makes the third great race won by this mare in the last eighteen months. 3 large concourse of persons was present. ‘The Richmond American bas the following account of the First Heat.—After one or two false starts, the word “go” was given, all getting off well together, Sam Letcher taking the lead, but occastonally laces with the ‘ladies and’ gentlemen” for the first three miles, when Frankfort came up and passed the group, sente all the time being kept back by her skilful joekey.) nkfort passed the judges’ stand winner of the heat in 7:68. At the end of the first heat every one thought Frankfort must win; occasionally an outsider could be found who was willing to take the field at 25 to 100 against him. The horses cooled off, and Sam Letcher was withdrawn. Second Heat.—For the first two miles any of the horses who felt disposed led off, except Philo, who still kept her hand. In the third mise Joe and Frankfort had a beau- tiful brush for a haif mile, when Joe took the lead and kept it to the half mile pole. In the last half mile it came to Philo’s turn to do or die, At the call of her Jockey she responded | faltantiz, and led them all, one by ‘one, till she came to Old Joe, when there commenced one of those brushes of his which used to tell in days by.

After having recovered from s*relapse of the fever which confined me to my room some eight or ten days, T resume my pen to advise you of the state of things in our city. It is the opinion of physicians generally, that the fever, as an epidemic, bas ceased, though here and there it still breaks out in quite a malignant form. There have occurred but few deaths within the last three days, and we donot now hear the hearse continually running, night and day, as it has done for the last two months or more. [here subjoin a list of the names of those who have died, as I have gathered them from the undertakers:—Dr. Henry Selden, who died in Hampton, on the 24 inst.; Robert Dalrymple, stone mason, and a man who held considerable property; Wm. Loring, paint- er; Thomas White, police officer; Mits Susan Southgate, daughter of Wright Southgate (dezeased), poner cashier of the Exchange Banke; Samuel Ratus. ‘Richard Holt, Michsel Cullen, a child of John Williams, boy of Josiah Wills, Isaac Wilkinson, and a slave of J G.'Wilkinson. ‘There are a few cases still on hand that have been ill for several , but are now graduly con- valescing, and I think we have every reason to hope, if the weather becomes cool enough for’ frost, entirely disappear. I forgot to mention that the faithful and devotedly pious pastor of St. Paul’s Church, Rev. Mr. Jackson, was buried yesterday, and his were fol- cowed to their Ist resting piace by as large a procession of sincere mourners (as an evidence of the estimation in which he was held) as if there hed been no epidemis rag- ivg.

Some are apprehensive that the fever will break out with renewed viol on the re- turn of our citizens from abroad, but with proper pru- dence it {s hoped they may return after one or two heavy frosts. Since writing the above, I have obtained informa- thon of the tollowing deaths which have occurred within the last twelve hours :—A negro child belonging to Miss Jane Drummond; negro of Rev. J. Whitfield; Mr. Frede- rick Bromley; Mr. Jakeman, The Police Committee. ANOTHER FRUITLE@S SESSION—THE CHIEF STILL CONTUMACIOUS—-NOTHING MADE—WEBSTER AND M’CANN MORE OBSTINATE THAN EVER. Oct. 10.—The Special Committee of the Board of Al- dermen to investigate alleged corruption in the police department, met at 3 o'clock, P. BM. Behave. Briggs, chairman, and Alderman C. . Tasker. The Chairman opened the proceedings by stating that the hour bad arrived at which the committee was saliod. Then addi the Chief of Police, Mr. George W. Mat- sell, he said: We wish to ask you a few questions to-day. Mr. Matsell handed in a written answer, and was re- tiring. ‘the Chairman—But won't you take the oath? Mir. Matsoll—I was sworn the other day. I have no more to say. ‘The Chaitman—What becomes of the stolen property received in your office ¥ Mr. Matee!! had passed out of the door before the chair- man had finished the queetion. Mr. Matsell’s document reads as follows :— To tHe Conarrrer or tax Boarp oF ALDERMEN, usually known as the Briggs Committee : Youare probably aware that » Committee of the Legisiature ig shortly to meet in this city to inquire about the ement of the Police Depariment and the Criminal Courts, intention to appear before that committee and be examined fully ax to all matters connected with my official duties or conduci; but, retaining my belief that your committee has no power to sunimons or compel me to {estify, I decline answering an: questions you may put to me. {also inform you that I not been regularly eubpeanwd, to appear before you today, and do not now present myself in obedience to any aubpana, but as a voluntary ac yurpore sole communterdon. ? 0" Purp e nO. We MATS The Chairman looked dirgusted. Mr. G. W. McKellar, clerk of Chief of Police, affirmed. ‘The Chair—What are your duties—what is your post- tion in the Department? A. 1 have already answered that two or three times. ‘The Chair—We want a full answer. Mr. McKeilar—I hold to the opinion that you have no right to ask me any questions; but I am willing to an- swer anything that will be to the public interest. Iam clerk to the Chief cf Police, and my duti various, Iwill not be annoyed by unnecessary questions. Q, Did you ever act as clerk to the Board of Surgeons? A. No. Q. Did you ever use your influence to favor ick pay to licemen? A. I have to examine the offidavite of cemen who have lost time by sickness o: disability; think there is sufficient in the papers to justify pay, Iendorse it upon the papers; if not, I make the con- trary endorsement; it then goes to the Mayor for confir- mation. ‘The Chair—Then it appears you are the sole judge. Mr. McRellar—I have already said that I should not be insulted by the committee; I will not bave any epithets applied to’ me; the papers in relation to the policemen go to the Mayor for confirmation or rejection. Q, Was you ever naturalized? A. That seems to me an — nent question and I shall not answer it. Q. What compensation over and above your salary do youget? A. I can’t tell you; I don’t know; I have re- ceived various sums, but none that I was not éntitled to; all the money I have received during the past year I have deposited with the Chamberlain; all the bills have not yet been paid, but that matter is not in my hands. Q. Did you ever bring in a bill against the Crystal Pa- lace Association during the great exhibition? A. I don’t recognise your right to inquire into my private affairs, but to prevent any unjust suspicions I will any that I did perform services for the association altogether distinct from my official duties and after office hours, sometimes after midnight. Q. Did you not neglect your duties to attend to these affairs? A. No; I never neglect my duties. Mr. MeKellar was further questioned as to the duty of ahe police at the Crystal Palace, but nothing of import- ance was elicited. es tee Q. Lo you know of any sales of stolen property in the Chict’s officer As Yen. Q. How many, and how long ago? A. But one since I have been there, and that was in connection with n sale of stolen property at the Fighteenth District Court; some of it was property taken from thieves and never claimed, and rome was left at the office, and sold to pay cariage; property not sold has either been returned to the owners or to the persons from whom taken, but none has becn recelved into the office since the paseage of an act of the islature requiring all property supposed stolen tobe deposited with the clerks of the Police Courts. Q. Did you ever see any handbills in the Chief's office offering a reward of $25 for atrunk. A. Have read evi- dence taken before this committee by one Lombard in re- lation to a black trunk, all of which, so far us the office of the Chief of Police 13 concerned, I pronounce unquali- fiedly false. Q. Have you got anything of that kind in your office now? A. No sir; the trunk referred to never came into the office; I remember once that a large trunk came to the office, with silk goods, but nothing to do with Mr. Lombard; it was stolen in one of the Fastern States, and the affidavits being made, it was delivered up to the officers; I have held my office since 1849; was appointed by W. F. Havemeyer, for an indefinite period. ‘There was a little passage-at-arms between Mr. McKel- lar and the Chairman of the committee. Mr. McKellar desired the Chairman to understand distinctly that he wanted the examination to conclude then and there; he did not desire to be bothered with it any longer; if there was to be any more questioning of him, he was ready to answer, but he could not have his time taken up by such nonsense any more. Alderman Briggs tol him to keep cool, and informed him that he was done with him for to-Cay. Michael MeCan, Weutenant of police, was called, and refused to take the onth as tendered by the Chair. The matter was compromised, however, and he was sworn. He refnsed to answer any questions not embraced by the resolution of the 20th February, and after a pleasant in- terchange of compliments with the Chair, he retired. Timothy Webster, lieutenant of police—He waa sworn, but protested against the oath as illegal, and told the Chafrman he would take it, but he must remember not to insult him, but only to ask him fair and proper ques- tions Q. What ward are you attached to? A. Twenty-second. @. What are your duties? Witness referred the committee to the police regula- tions, and saying he lind better business to attend to than staying here, retired, and the session was adjourned. Personal Intelligence. ARRIVALS.

Yesterdsy morning Thomas Hadden and James Carroll) the former proprietor of a sailors’ boarding house at 26 Peck slip, and the latter a boatman, were brought be* fore Justice Welsh at the Lower l’olice Court, charget with having kidnapped a sailor, named Dennis Meehan, and placed him on board the ship Ontario, (now lying iu the stream ready for sea,) against his will. The com- plainant states in his affidavit that he boarded at Had- den’s houge, and on the 8th inst. was induced to enter a row boat for the purpose of shipping, as he thought, on board a bi that’ was about calling from the Atlantic Doek, Brooklyn, for some port in Fi Instead of go- ing to Brooklyn, he says he was put aboard the ship Ontario, a Liverpool packet, where he was ordered to perform seaman's duty ; but he steadfastly refused to work, on the und that be had no Antent mm of ship ing aboard this vessel. Here he alleges he was roug! Lm by one of the officers of the vessel, but eventually got the accused to carry him ashore. As they approach. ed the dock and Meehan was about to clamber up the pier, Carroll he charges pushed the boat oif and precipi- tated bim into the water, from which he was rescued by some citizens. At the police court he preferred » charge of assault and battery against the mate of the Ontario, but he could not be found by the officers. These parties were arrested by officers wn, Roas and Underhill, of the First District Police Court. Justice Welsh commit- ‘ted Carroll and Hadden to the Tombs for trial, in default of $1,000 bail each. Hadden was arrested a few days ago on a similar charge, and was out on bail when he committed this alleged outrage. His bondsman surren- dered bim yesterday, on hearing of the second charge’ made against him. City Intelligence. COMMISSIONERS OF KMIGRATION.—-The Board met yestere day, Commissioner Verplanck in the chair. The diffi- culty with the Ten Governors in relation to the charge of lunatic emigrants was the subject of a warm discus- sion. A resolution was passed instructing the Counse, of the Board to confer with the Counsel of the Ten Governors to ace if a settlement could not be effected and harmonious action between the two Boards secured; A communication was received from Dr. Harris, resident physician at, Staten Island, asking the Board to appoint cricans aa officers to board vessels, as foreigners were inthe habit of afiliating with their countrymen and neglecting their duties. This excited a warm discussion, Comm: rs Carrigan and Purdy denouncing the re- quest, and asking that it be laid on the table. The co munication was received, however, though the recom. mendation it contained was not adopted. The Board adjourned without doing anything else ofimportance. Boarp oF CovnciuMEn.—Some of the members of this. Board assembled yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, at their chambers in the City pursuant to the adjourament of the last meeting of the Board on Monday last. The roll beipg called and it being found that there was nota quo- rum of members present, the Board was declared adjourn- ed till Friday afternoon, at 4 o’clock. Locomorivss 1x Tax Crry.—To-day the Committee of the Councilmen hold their last meeting on the subject of sup- ressing the steam locomotives on the Fleventh avenue, low Fifty-ninth street, where the railroad comes up from the river side on to the avenue. Tho testimony at several successive sessions of the committee affords sutis- factory evidence that all property along the Hudson river and on the east side of the Eleventh avenue is de- preciated in value at least one-third by the use of steam; that business cannot be carried on with safety on account of the danger to the lives of horses and of men; that families cannot reside on the avenue, or near by, without the constant fear of seeing a butchered member returned. lifeless or mutilated, to the abode of broken hearted parents or of bereaved and destitute children. After the evidence of a great number of witnesses, respectable as well from the kympathy their long sufferings and bereavo- ments are so well calculated to excite, as from their standing as men of business and wealth, one can hardly believe that such an outrage as the ru: of locomo- live trains thirty-four times a day along a public avenue, endangering alike the lives of the population and the travellers on the road, would be tolerated for another day. But we know the corrupting power of great, soul- loss, monopolies. We believe that many members of our Common Council have tree tickets on the Hudson and all other roads on the island, which of itself is something of a bribe, to say nothing of other modes resorted to to secure immunity from enactments to the prejudice of the companies. For these reasons we fear that nothing will be done to abate the abuse complained of, and that we shall be compelled for the future, as we have been in past times, every now and then to record some horrible tragedy on the Hudson River Railroad. It is to be observed that if the locomotives were run at the rate of six miles an hour—the rate allowed a the ne § ordinance—the distance from Thirty-first to Fifty-nin street weuld be got over in nineteen minutes; by horse power, at four miles an hour, in twenty-eight minutes— a saving by steam of nine minutes. Yot, for this misera- ble pitiance of time, moral and humane members of ghd consent to witness the bloody scenes on the Hud- son River Railroad which we have had occasion so often ‘to record. New York Typockaraical Socrery.—The semi-annual meeting of this time-honored institution took on Saturday evening, Oct. 6, when the reports of the Secre- tary, Treasurer and Board of Directors of the Library were rendered, and an election of officers held for the ensuing term, with the following result:—President, Daniel L. Northrop; Vice President, John W. Forbes; Secretary, Thos. C. Faulkner; Treasurer, James Narine; ‘Trustees—C. C. Savage, John ‘Thomas; Directors of the Library—Chas. McDevitt, Henry J. Crate, J. P. Nesmith, ‘The total receipts for the term last past ‘have amounted to $584 54, and the expenditures to the sum of $520 25, viz:—Paid to sick members, $243; superannuated mem- bers, $01; funeral benefit, $35; and for rent and contin- gencies, $151 25. The funds of the Society, at the pre- rent time, amount, nearly, to the sum of $5,000. The roll book shows some 250 members. The library contains 4,000 volumes, with constant additions; and, under all circumstances, this favorite institution exhibits the marked fact that although its founders have nearly all paseed away, new life is given to it year after year by ac- cessions in numbers to its ranks, and a new régime to successfully bear aleft its banner. Exriosion or A frEAM DrevGe.—About 9 o’clock on Tuesday morning a steam dredge employed on the canal atMott Haven, Westchester county, exploded {nto num- berless fragments, injuring several men, and one man named Fitzgerald quite seriously. ‘The engineer was blown through the roof of the house, but fortunately es- caped with @ slight cut in the head. ‘The machine was insured Fire Neenym $Streer.—About half t four o'clock yesuerdsy affernoon, a fire broke out in a stable at No. 268 WeetNimeveenth street. It was roon discovered, and extinguished yefore it made much headway. The fire originated in fl part ocoupied by Mr. James Eagar, and is supposed to have been set on fire by some children at play inthe adjoining yard. The stable belongs to the Russel estate; is damaged about $50, fully insured. Mr. Wm. Brown, one of the occupants, has lost, by water, about $10, damage to hay and feed; his horses, carriages, &c., were taken out without damage. Fine 1x CHERRY StRECT.—Last night, at a quarter before N1 o'clock, a fire broke out in the front basement of the hardware store No. 126 Cherry street, occupied by Brow- er & Brinkerhof, The upper part of the building was occupied by twenty families, and in a rear building four other families resided. The smoke soon gave the alarm, and the inmates of the premises hurried out, not waiting to eave any of their property, as the smoke became so dense that many of the tenants occupying the fifth and sixth stories came near being suffocated. The firemen, as usual, were very Prompt, and succeeded in preventing the fire extending beyond the first Boor. Mr. Brower estimates his loss at ($11,000, on which he has an in- surance of $8,000—$5,000 of which is in the Lorillard In- surance Company and $3,000 in the Merchants’ Insurance Company, ‘The stock is considerably damaged by water, probably to the amount of several thousand dollars. The building belongs to Mr. John A. Appleby, and is insured in the Astor Insurance Company, Damage to the build- ing about $500. The police rendered very great service in extricating the tenants from the premises. New York, Oct. 10, 1865. TO THD EDITOR OF THE HERALD, In your account of the fire at our factory in Twenty-ninth sireei, vou state that there was a fire there in August last. You will oblige us by contradicting this statement. ‘There was an alarm, but no portion of the bnilding was on fire, nor was there any damage done. Our business will continue withoat inter. ruption at our store, No, 257 Broadway. THOS. FAYE & 00. Gross IxsvuLT TO THE Mayor.—About three clock this ,morning a procession composed of persons who had been marching around, cheering the democratic candidates and newspapers, and groaning those of the op- posite party, went into Girard street, preceded by a band of music. A halt was made opposite the residence of Mayor Conrad, and the house of that magistrate was sa- luted with groans and yells. The leaders of the gang directed the band to play the ‘Kogue’s March,” whici the leader, Mr. Perkenpine, refused to do, The Mayor came out upon his steps and addressed the crowd ; he said he was a single, unarmed man, surrounded by cowardly miscreants, who had taken this opportunity to insult nm, ‘put that he denounced and defied them. of the leaders of the gang attempted to excuse the con- uct of his companione, but the Mayor refused to accept any apology. Such ® mean outrage as this, we are glad to sey, is are in Philadelphia. —Philpdelphia, Bulletin, October 10.
