Lascalas.— ‘The defendant is charged with fitting out the drig Horatio, within the port of New York, for the purpose of slave trading, in the year 1854, in violation of an act entitled “an act im addition to an act to prohibit the introduction, or importation, of slaves into any port or place within the jurisdiction of the United States, from and after the firet of January, 1806,’’ &c. The indictment charges that the accused, as factor, did equip, load and prepare the brig Horatio for the purpose of employing her in the trade of procuring negroes, mulatioes, and persons of color, from the continent of Africa to the island of Cuba, or some other foreign place, and transporting them to ap- other, for the purpose of disposing of them as slaves. Mr. Joachimseen, associated with the United States Dis- trict Attorney, opened the case for the government. In the month of November, 1854, the brig jeft this port, and on the following February she was found adrift at Key ‘West, totally abandoned; on being seized she was found to bave been fitted up for. the slave trade, and the prose- cutor expected to prove that she had been used for that purpose on the coast of Africa, and then abandoned. ‘The first witness called was Sidney P.

Mr. Gerrard then produced a bill of sale of the Ho- ratio from Mr. Lascallas to S. T. Van Vasquese, dated 23d October, 1854.

Mr. Gerard said, in order to shorten the case. he would admit that this vessel. after her yoyage, did go to the coast of Africa and take in a cargo of slaves, aud he would consent to have Brown's testimony read. ‘The District Attorney had not his testimony in writing. Witness then continued—I found the Horatio off Castle Garden; } was engaged by a shipping master on Sunday morning: the vessel bad lumber and water eaxks on board; the mate was then in command; she had a crew of eight or ten; Capt.

The meeting of the Fashion Jockey Club commences to-day under the moet brilliant auspices. It is to con- tinue four days. The ball opens with the ‘ Fashion Stakes”’ for three year olds, mile heats, for which there are five nominations. The gentlemen engaged in this stake are the principals in getting up the Fashion Jockey Club, and it is to their energy and devotion to the turf that the public are mainly ‘indebted for the present pro: mised sport, and for the strenuous effort to restore the fallen fortunes of the Northern turf. Three ef the nomi- nations in the stake are upon the ground and in excellent condition, and each of the nags has its warm friends and admirers. We hope to record an exciting contest The second race, for the Club purse $650, two heats, brings together Berry, the winner of the fastest two mile race ever run; Adelgisa, a Southern crack; Aw gusta, well known to fame; and Mr. Clay's Balloon, the winner of the Association stakes at Lexington, Ky.

Thbave been requested by several of the passengers parsing over the Harlem road on Saturday last, to give you the particulars of a wonderful escape from a dread- ful catastrophe on that road. ‘The train leaving New York at 15 minutes past 2 o’clock cn Saturday afternoon, consisting of four large passenger cars, with the usual apparatus, was approaching the Har- ‘em bridge at its usual epeed, the flagman displayed the “white flag,” signifying that the ‘draw’? was closed and all was right, the engineer drove on, as was right on bis part, when he, faithful to the responsibilities of his position, Kept his eye on the lockout, and behold! he discovers the draw wide open. Instant and utter destr seemed ready to swallow up himself and all of his two hundred and more paseengers. But he was equal to the emer- gency; eounded the alarm to man the brakes, and witb engine reversed, succeeded in stopping at the very brink of the gulf which yawned beneath them. When the parsengers discovered the miraculous es- .cape which they had made, and the imminent dan- ger that threatened them, they were i oe at the imbecile and careless management the road, and the wicked carelessness of this reckless fiagman, He is still retained in the service of the com- pany, and allowed to jeopardize the lives of thousands passing over that bridge daily. The individual holding a position of this nature, and guilty of such gross—almost wilful—neglect, not only de- serves to be driven from a post he has disgraced, but thould be driven from the community which he has so basely betrayed by his neglect. The Harlem Railroad Company is becoming more and more notorious for the utter inefficiency which pervades every Gepartment of the road. The end is not far off. A PASSENGER IN THE FIRST CAR. Court of General Sessions. Before Judge Capron. PRESENTMENT OF THE GRAND JURY—CONDITION OF ELDKIDGE &TREET JAIL. Jexe 16.—At the opening of the Court this morning the Grand Jury came in and made the following presentment: To THE HONORAPLE THE City JUDGE:— The Grand Inquest of the city and county of New York, for the June term of the Court of Sessions, respectfully deg leave to present: That in addition to the performance of the ordinary duties devolved upon them by the Court, they visited ina body, under the polite guidance of Go- yernor Tieman, the several charitable and municipal in- stitutions on Blackwell’s Island, and the nursery and school on Randali’s Island, and'found in every depart- meet evidence of good order, thorough discipline and wise supervision. That they also visjted the city prison and Eldridge street jail, or debtor’s prison. Of the Eldridge ftreet jail and its management the Inquest beg leave to present their unlimited cond anation. In striking con- trast with the liberal and enlightened provision for the other departments of the government, this jail is a stain and reproach upon the city, and in defiance of the humane spirit of the age. The edifice is wholly unsuited for a privon; it stands in an unsuitable place, and is sur- rounded and pent up by other buildings. A portion of the cells are constructed in the attic; they are narrow, Cingy, filthy and without ventillation, and with a summer sun shining on the roof right over them, must be almost intolerable, The prisoners confined there—and the num- ber averages about twenty-five—seem to have no adequate provision for their subsistence. The keeper’s table, for which they are informed the bills are paid by the city, is accestible to such only of the prisoners as are able to pay for that privilege. The others are fed in their cells, with the coarsest foud (and even this is purely voluntary, and not called for by any requirement upon the keeper.) in limited quantities. “Altogether, the inmates of the jail are immeasurably worse off than the convicts in the city prison or penitentiary. A condition of things so shocking to humanity, and go much in opposition to the spirit of modern legislation, that they feel it to be their duty to ex- pose and denounce it.

Ward, of Pennsylvania, Vallandingham, of Ohio, Cottman, of Pennsylvania, Pot- ter, of Rhode Island, Manning, of South Carolina, Clark, of Virginia, and Smalley, of Vermont, ex officio. At a meeting of this executive committee, Mr. Ward was cho- fen to be its chairman, and Mr. Vallandingham its secre- tary. Mr. Smalley has been elected the permanent chair- man of the National Committee, and Messrs. J. H. George, of New Hampehire, Julius Hesse, of Alabama, and C. H. Yallandingham, of Ohio, as permanent secretaries. Hon. Lot. M. Morrill, of Augusta, Me., has renounced his connection with the democratic party, having written 10 the State Committee, of which he is a member, his re pudiation of the platform adopted at Cincinnati. The headquarters of the Massachusetts delegation to the Philadelphia Republican "National Convention is at the Girard Houee. ‘The Mississippi papers are showing up one of their members of Congress, Hon. H. S. Bennet, in a style tthat makes him look, and no doubt will make him feel, very foolish. That gentleman lately delivered a speech in Con. gress, which was nearly a literal transcript of one deli- vered some years ago in the same body, by that gifted orator, S. 8. Prentiss. The Northern Kansas Aid Societies will hold a Conven- tion at Cleveland, Ohio, on the 20th inst. The Salem (Ohio) Republican nominates Cassius M. Clay for the Presidency, subject to the decision of the Philadelphia Republican Convention. Under the head of ‘Important News’? the St. Louis Demecrat (Benton) publishes the following:— We call attention to the very important news received by telegraph this morning of the probable withdrawal of Mr. Fillmore ‘in favor of a Northern conservative candi- date, if such aone shal! be nominated at Philadelphia. ‘This, taken in connection with the movement of Mr. Crit- tenden in the Senate, demanded the sending of General Scott to Kansas to suppress and prevent the maraudings that have lately disgraced that Terrxory, and collated also with the fierce onslaught of the New York Hera upon the ultra secession spirit which bas so nearly impe- riled the whole country—these things, we say, if correctly telegraphed, threaten io change very materially the aspect of the approaching political canvass for the Presidency. The Cincinnati Enquirer describes an enthusiastic ratifi- cation meeting at Newport, Ky. Major Henry Clay Harvie opened the meeting with one of bis telling addresses. He was followed by Col. George B. Hodge, the same gentle man who, as the whig candidate, ran Colonel Stanton £0 clovely in the Congressional canvass—the canvass before the last. Col. Hodge, with many other old whigs, joined the Know Nothings, and discovering the unrepublican character of that Order, was among the firet in Kentucky to denounce and repudiate it, and has ever since opposed its principles and designs with great vigor fand earnest- ness. In his epeech on Saturday, which was received by the Colonel’s neighbors with great applause and joyful- ness, he declared bis unconditional adherence to the de- mocratic party—platform, principles, candidates and all— and his belief that the old line whigs of Kentucky—those who were faithful to the memory and principles of the great man of Achland—would find that, in its present po sition, the democracy was the only part of the constitu- tion and the Union. ‘The nomination of Buchanan fell coldly upon most of the South Carolina democratic journals. The Yorkville Enquirer acquiesses in the nomination, but expresses dis- appointment and regret, and says that of all the promi- nent aspirants, Buchanan was the least acceptable. There is significance about the following sentence quoted from an article in the Bnguirer:—“The contest will be “deter- mined between black republicanism on the one hand, and ‘on the other the democratic party with Buchanan as its etandard boarer. In such an emergency the South can have no choice.”” Se FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Mowpay, June 16~6 P. M. ‘The stock market bas not at all improved since Satur day. The feeling is one of doubt and despondency. The most gerious apprehensions are entertained, and the public mind is particularly’sensitive. The steamers, now nearly due from EuropeB are looked for with the most intense anxiety It will be some days yet before advices are re- ceived of the effect in England of Crampton’s dismissal, and in the meantime the imagination will have full scope for operation. It is our impression that the whole affair has been discounted; that the public mind is prepared for the worst; that the suspense is much worse than the reality, and that the actual ffacte will, when known, have an effect Juet contrary to that generally anticipated. At the first board today stocks were lower. With large fales, the market fell off form the opening.
