COMMITTEE OF Tit WHOLE UPON THE NEW CITY CHARTER. Upcm motion of Councilman GaRvey the Board then fenolved itself into Committee ot the Whole—Councilman Cooper in the chair—for the pu: of taking up th apecial order of the evening, which was the majorit and minority reports of the speciu! committee upon new city charter. ‘The majority report, s document of sixteen pager, and signed by Otis D. Swan, Charles 8. Watrous, Charica E. and Henry A. Currgili; and the minority re- port, a decuwentoi the eame length of the above, and Franeis J. A. Bool, were then read. man SwAN ssid he regrettei that it had been found necessary by a single mem»er of the committee to Being in e minority report. This gentleman sald he did Bot understand the msjority report. The facts of the case were, that this gentleman did not actend the meet- ‘ing of the committee as invited. Tne other four gentle- men of the committee had givem the msjority report their full eonsiderstion, and ho disclaimed that there ‘was any intention on the part of the majority to prevent = gentleman in the minority trom deliberating with committee. Councilman Boori—I have not met with this commit- ‘tee, and have not been invites, and I supposed i was not wanted; I su) ‘the majority were going to draw uw & draft to suit themselves, and then give me perhaps fil- teen minutes to deilberate upon i:;and as [ have my own views in regard to the charter, | made and have pre- sented a dratt of my own. But since the msjoriiy report been brought out, I have luarned that [ wai invited to attend the meetings of the committee; but this did @ot jreach me in time. From this, I think that tue com- mittee might come together, if the majority would coe tome. I now move the anaes of the minority report. ‘Tae Crarr ruled this out of order, and said the mujo-ity fhould be moved first. man WARNER moved that beth reports be re- forred back to tho special commities, to which commitiee be added five more members. Gouncilman Swan said there was no good resson for this, The charter before the House hau already been fay considered, and there was no show o: reason tor de- by pg it further. I move that the majority caarter be ‘up, section by section, and +dopted. n Wavon said the minority report had not een circclated as freely as the other. It nad been suppressed, and tor this reaaon he hoped the mattor would be referred back. Councilman PINCKNEY was opposed to increasing the committee with five members, Ten men coulc not come to an agreement as s00n as five, and there was no excuse or reason for referring back. The State Legislature and Board cf Aldermen had already moved ia the matte, and ‘it was time for the Councilmen to move if they acted at Nothisg would be gainsd but delay by referring this matter back to the special committee, and he h ped the motion to recommit would not prevail. ‘The vote upon Councilman Warner's motion to refer tthe two charters back to special committee, and increas- ing this committee with five members, was then taken ead the motiom was carried by s vote of 29 to 17, Upon motion, the committee then rose. A motion was then made to accept the report of the Committee of the Whole, referring the matter back to set committee, and 30 voting in favor and 18 against, Chair deoided that the mo‘ton was carried. CURANING STREETS AGAIN, ‘Councilman Gray then moved to take fom the table ‘the rosctution appropriating $15,000 for c'eaning the streets, which was carried, by # vote of 28 to 21. ‘This resolution was then declared to be again before the ouee, and pe ioeactienen, Gray moved that the resolution be adopt- Councilman Swan stated he bad said already a great deal upon this sudject, but he would here take occasion ‘to oey turther, that in his judgment, ia making this ap- ‘propriation the Board was guilty of an illegal act: yet he was to vote for tie appropriation from the exi- gencies of = ‘the case. The ayes acd noes were again called, and the vote being ‘the rame aa the first vote taken in tne early part of the evening, the resolution was again declared to be lost.

NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16; 1466. Brutal Homicide on the Five Points. Yenterday afternoon, an old man aboat eixty years of age, named McGrath, was beaten (te death by « druoken fellow named JeremiahiO’Connor, while the former was quietly pursuing his evocation, 1. ¢., endeavoring to get employment at chair mending, in Donovan’s lace, (@ noted den,) in the immediate visinity of the Five Points, Tt appears from what we could learn from theve who were witnosses to the ecene that about two o’clock P. M., as the deceased came out from the apartments of Mrs. Carley, (where he had been making inquirios for work,) he was met by O'Connor, who, in a drunken tone, asked him ‘to come one side and speak with him.” The de- ceased did aa requested, when a few words passed be. tween them, and deceased was about to depart, when O'Connor called him back. McGrath, however, seemed afraid of him, and ran off, hoping by this means to escape O'Connor, but the intter seomed bent on having a row, and quickly followed the deceased, with whom he came usin a few ceconds, MoGrath, seeing that O'Connor was about to grasp him, madea blow at him with a chair that he bad in his hand, when O’Connor closed ja upon him, and they both fell to the ground. O’Connor was underneath, and in the scuffle pounded the old maz about the face with his hands, causing the blood to flow '. .

MoeGrath was conveyed into Mr. Dinan’s basement, whither he was followed by O’Uoanor, who kicked him reverely as he was endeavoring to gt down the basement steps. Mr. Dinan did in power to keep off O’Oonnor, and succeeded at last in jetting the old mam into his } A able to talk. and down upon s chair begred tected from ee aanie oo te part of "Conor. On being assured that he was safe, hs seemed astiafied, and closing his eyes as if in sleop, became to pyptecanee very drowsy. The inmates not thinking it was anything serious, refrained from wakentn, him, but whem they commenced to wash the blot of bls face, they found to their astouishmont that the unfortunate man was dead. The alarm was ptly given, and officer Judge, of the Sixth ward po- , Was called in, The policeman having been made acquainted with the facts, proceeded to 0’Connor’s rooms, situated in this sherry, snd demanded sdmittaces, The door OJ , and nm he was in search of, was about to arrest him, when he was met with fi position. The officer, however, was no: to be baflled, and after a severe scufiie succeeded in capturing the deapecate man. O’Comoor was then taken to the Lower Police Court, where he was committed to the Tombs by Justice Welsh. Coroner Perry, on being noti- fied of the occurrence, procecded to the spot for the pur- pose of holding an inquest upon the body of the deceased, but ip consequence of the delay ocsasioned in procuring witnesses, he was obliged to postpone the inquistion un- til balt-past ten o’clock this morning. The body of the Geceasea was conveyed to tuo station house, where a Re mortem examination will be maie upon it to-day. ‘he face of the deceased, particularly about the ch ek bones, is uch eut and bruired. There was no external injury about the head that would lead one to suppose death had been caused by fracture of the skull. It is very probable, therefore, that tho Kicking decessed received caused a blood vessel to burst, and that death was caused by bemorrhage either upon the lungs or brain, prisoner is represented to be a man ot very violent tem- Per, while the deceased was quite the reverse.

Merine Court, Before Hon. Judge Thompson. TO EXPRESS COMPANIES AND TO THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC. Hunt vs, Vreeiand.—The defendant is the proprietor of Vreelacd’s Now Jersey Bailroad Baggage Express. On the 29th of January last the plaintif, while coming from Philadelphia to this city on the New Jersey Railroad, Gave to an agent of the defendant a chock for his trunk, directing him to deliver it at No, 20Fifth avenue. On the arrival of the baggage in New York a servant of the defendant took the trunk in question to the plase desiy- nated by the plaintiff, Upon his arrival there the ser- vant discovered a genteel looking man upon the front stoop, appirently preparing to enter into the front door. When tre trunk'was taken upon tho stoop the man at the door turned round «n1 asked the baggage man if the charge upon tue trunk hai becn paid. Upon receiving a reply in the negative, the man paid the charges. "the ben! x ibocers then aeked for the card which was given vo the person who held the check, The manreplied that his brother had it in the house. Satisfied with this re- ply, the baggage man drove off, leaving the trank in the possession of the stranger. After express wagon drove away@the stranger rang the bell, and upon a ser- vant comi: the door, avked if a Sir. Wells resided there, She aiwer was that no such person lived tier. The man‘@yen icft with the trunk, and neither he nor the trunk bes been seen or heard from since. The tronk und its contents were of the value of about one hundred dollars. This action was brought to recover that ymouat from the defendant. The plaintiff humself was called asa witness in his own bi to prove the contents of the trunk. ‘Tnoarrson, J.—In this case the defendant’s servant was guilty cf gross negligence in leaving the trunk with the ‘unknown person he found standing on the stoop of the premises. It was his duty to have delivered it into the custody elther of the master or some of the domestics at- tached to the dwelling, This he neglected to do, and the consequences of hie carelessness must fall upon the de- fendant. It {s true tho defendant may not be regarded as & common carzier; his rights, duties and obligations are the same, though, as other bailees for hire. In the prosecution of his busiess he is bound to ordinary dili- gence and {to @ ressonabdie exercise of skill, He is not responsible tor any losses not occasioned by the ordinary negligence of himself or of his servants. (Angell on the Taw of Carriers, p. 430.) An objection was made by counsei for the cetendant to the plaintiff being a witness in lis owa behalf to prove the contents of the trunk. In cones like the present ihe plaintiff’ may be a witness for humee er meeeseilale vei. (Adgell, &e., p. 450.)

C, Boggs, et al., vs. The Brig Loulra and her C ‘The libeilants in this ease were the own- ers of the steamboas Huntress, and filed their libel al- leging that on the 1th of January last, the steamboat fell in with the Vortugnese brig Lou.ra, about fifteen or twenty miles from andy Hook; that the brig was short of provisions and had been fojuced by «storm, and had Jort some of her gails, and her crew were exhsusted; that she had been abaudoned by a pilot, aud would have buen lost without arsistance; teat, thereupon, the steamboat woa blred by the mastor of the brig to tow her to the siiy of New York, and agreed to give uer thereior the sun of $1,000; anc the brig was according'y towed up by the and they accordingly filed this libel against nd her cargo to recover that amount. The vessel was loaded with ealt, whish on am appraiec. ment was valued at about, $900, and bonded by th: owner of it. The vessel was appraised at $1,600, end wasnt bonded. The Court heid—Upon the facts that the brig was not inuayigable, nor !n a perilous con- cition; that the steain tug was outside the harbor looking for vessels by whom she might be employed in her buni- Less ot towlig, and was not called to tho brig by any signal ot distress or notice that she needed assistance, and rengered her no other relict than taking her in tow, #4 bringing her to this city. That the service rendered by the steamboat was not a salvago rervice entitled to svlvage compensation, and was no more than e towage service. ‘That the agreement set up to poy $2,000 tor the service was rot assented to by the master of the brig with the knowledge that it had such purport or effect, the proporul having been made to him in English by vbe master of the orig, wad he understanding oniy Portuguese, apc beving no interproter; ant that the interchange of signs and ciphers betwoen the par- fos war understood by him to signify the price of 200 Portugnese m *, snd not $2,000 for auch tow- oge. That the a!!rced ogreoment, therefore, was a fraud against the saia brig, and cannot be’ uphold, ana that the exaction of $2,000 would be unreason: able and exorbitant for the services rendered. That as the services were performed in three or four hours, in the daytime, and without any injury to the steamer, or extraordinary exertion or exposure on her part, the offer of 200 milreas was o reasonable and acequate recompense therefor, That the libellant 1s therefore entitled to recover against tho said brig the said sum of 200 milreas, equivalent to $224, But as the libetiant claimed to recover $2,000 out of the brig, ordered that he recover no costs of suit; and as the owner of the brig mace no legal tender of tne $224, ordered that he recuver no costs against the libellanta. And, as against the cargo, libel dismissed, with coas.

Resolved, That the systematic agitation of the slave-y reed has brought cur institutions into peril, and we hold it to be the duty of every American patnot to anite for the purpose of suppressing thie agitation, aud theveby giving peace to the Sonntey and perpetuity to the Union; and we solemnly belisve it to be the best guarantee of common justice and fature peace to abide by and main- tain the existing laws upon the subject of slavery as a fi- nal and conclusive settlement of that subject, spirrt and in substance. Resolved, That Co: has no right to exclude avy State from admission inte the Union, because i c¢ msti- tuttom may, or may not, recognise slavery as w part of its social system. Resolved, That the public domain is the common pro- perty of the people of ali the States, and is heid by the general government in trust for their common good, and that any legislation invidiously restricting, or in any manoer interfering with the equal exjoyment theresf py tho citizens of the different States, woald be inconsisten> with the spirit and true intent of the trust, of question- sable const! tuttonalty, and dangerous to the harmony of the Union.

Upon this experiment was to depend in great measure the future operations of the Board of Underwriters and beatmen, in efforts to prevent, as far as poasible, the eat amonnt of damage to which the boats will be liable the event of a movement of the {ce, which, in the common course of things, must take place before msuy deys. The locality ohosen for the experiment was that Portion of the river opporite the foot &f Sprugr streat. ‘he affair was placed uncer the direction of Delafield, who hadvolunteered lis services for the occasion. The parties eclected a spot about three hundred yards from the shore, and an operting was cut in the ico sufi- cient to admit a gablon jug. A jug of this description was charged with five pounds of powder, and made water tight by a cork stopper. Through this’ stopper passed a fuse one eighth of an inch in diameter, conuecting with the powder in the jag, aud four or five feet ia length. This fuse was composed of cotton, wrapped with water- proot cloth, and an additional covering of pitched twine, he powder not being sufficient in quantity to fill the jug, iv still contained enongh air to float it under the ice, where it was now placed, and the fuse, which reac! out upon the surface, was lighted. The party repaired to tome distance, and awaited the result. ‘11 © explosion which followed was not louder than tho repcet ofa pistol, but a very cousile able jar on the ice wus noticed, which was ‘1! 1 two or three hundred yard, The erncurs: 9 caus tible rise ‘and fall in the whole Hvty 0. 1) iat timit, On repairing to the sy! on meac- ly cireular, about tweive feet im diamer red bean blown up, avd this waa the only result peso ival's. | ice being covered by a heavy bed ot snow. se ey bowever, stated thut he had no doubt the ice he: vee cracked through in Itnes rediatiog from this open sprce toa dimacce of one hundred and fifty or two hundred feet, as be observes from a previous experiment which be mace when the 1ce was clear of snow Four succes. stve blasts were made with like resulta, which proved patlafectory to the operator. —%.
