We continue our report of the Bond street tra- gedy investigation. The proceedings of yesterday will tend to deepen the public interest in this horri- bie affair. Fhe procecings of Congress yesterday were excit- ting sud important. The Senate was pretty tho- poughiy stirred up upon the question of the admis- sion of the newly elected Senator from Indiana, Mr. Fitch. The republicans, backed by a protest signed by a mojority of the Indiana State Senators, @eelaring the election unconstitutional, stout- dy eppored the motion to admit. The aemo- erais, acting upon precedent, proposed to qualify the applicant, and try the case afterwards, and they carried their point. The House passed the appropriation for a wagon road to California. ‘The revolution directing the impeachment of Judge Watrous, of Texas, was discussed, and laid aside for two weeks. The Corruption Committee reported in fevor of releasing Mr. Simonton from custody, he having satisfactorily answered the questions of the eommittee, and the recommendation was adopted. Pending tve consideration of the bill revising the vevenue laws the House adjourned. The Board of Supervisors yesterday adopted a re- port authorizing the removal and arrangement of the papers of the Court of Common Pleas, under the direction of the Clerk of said Court. The quarterly bills of the County Clerk and keeper of the county jail were ordered to be paid. In the Board of Aldermen last evening there was am animated debate upon the reports relative to au- thorizing certain parties to run a line of stages through Lexington avenue and Irving place to the South ferry. The subject was finally laid aside un. til Monday next. The Board of Councilmen were in session last evening, but no public business of importance was tyanficted, save the unanimous acceptance of the yeport of the Special Committee on Quarantine, re commending that the Legislature immediately pass a vill authorizing the removal of Quarantine lower down the bry. resolution requesting the Comp- troller to advertise for a site for a public market, ia the vicinity of Fourteenth ‘street, North river, was Jaid over. In the Court of Sessions yesterday John McBri arty and George Higginson, who were convicted of burglary, on Friday, in breaking into the house of Levi Lilienthal, 31 Beach street, and stealing a quantity of household articles, were sentenced to the State prison—the former for 10 years and 2 months, and the latter for 15 years and 3 months, he being a deeperate and well known character. A number of grand larceny and burglary cases were disposed of, bot they were devoid of interest. A ferry mass meeting was held at the Brooklyn City Hall last evening at which there were about two ‘housand persons present. Resolutions were passed strongly censuring the course of the Union Ferry Company, and endorsing Mr. Owen's bill for the re gulation of ferries now before the Legislature. An executive committee was elected to procure signa tures’to a memorial asking the Legislature to pass Mr. Owen's billgSpirited addresses were made by the Chairman, Abjjah Mann, Jr., A. H. Dana, George H+ Andrews and others. The court martial which commenced in this city & short time since, to try Lieutenant Updograff and Surgeon Holden apon charges of disobedience of orders and negiect of duty, have aoquitted the de- fendants, and the Secretary of War has confirmed the decision and dissolved the court.

A New View of the Burdcll Murder, One ef our heavy cotemperaries, who has jast feund out that a murder has been committed, A i A The writer cannot be well informed in the mystery of capital crimes, or he would know that the deepest, deadliest blows are those inflicted by women; and that a man who did his work coolly, would have been satisfied with cutting the artery, knowing that death must recult in a few minutes. Dr. Burdell also was not a tall man, and the woman under suspicion is over the usual height of hersex. As for the style of delivering the blow, with the thumb and forefinger uppermost, we do not see how it could be done by man or woman in ano- ther way. Then, because the other wounds were deep and effective we are told they must have been made by the hand of a man. The writer forgets that Burdell’s friend testifies that he was physically weak and morally a coward, that, therefore, when attacked in the dead of night he would have laid himself open to any assailant, with not a sufficient struggle to exhaust even the strength of a woman. The wounds were proba- bly made by a large knife or cane sword, the weight of which would add much to the pro- pelling power. A small knife or dagger would net make wounds an _ inch in length. The wounds on the coat sleeves show that the knife was used some twenty times or more, and there are several euts in the clothes, which cuts did not reach the body. One of these cuts is an inch and a half long. These cuts show a determination to kill; but not thecool arrange- ment of a man who was master of the werk. It is more like the spite of a revengeful woman. The statement of this writer that the body bears “ external and internal marks of strangulation,” is not verified by the report of the port mortem. When that examination took place on Wednes- day, there were not the slightest external traces, and the report coutains no allusion to internal evid The position that the wound which severed the artery was given when the vicdm was near tbe door is correct, and has already been taken in these columns; but why may not that blow have been given by a woman, the first assault by her confederates having been partially unsuccessful. The writer further concludes that the murderer left the house, and gives as proof the slight traces of blood on the staircase and street door. He fergets that three persons touched the body, which was lying in a pool of blood, then ran down stairs and out at the street door, some for one thing and some {or another, and that it is just as probable that they left the stains which he takes for the track of the murderers. If they had been so cautious as to leave but little, they would have carried pru- dence so far as to have left none at all. No, once outside the Docter’s door the clue is lost so far as physical evidence is concerned. Our cotem- porary farther says :— The murderer's dagger and his rope might have been thrown into a culvert, or in'o the river, or destroyed. it ia not impossible that be may have had toes ip Abe house who faciiitsied bis entrance and his conceal- ment; but It ie not neceerery to suppose this unlers wo eater upon the questicn of motives which ts here avoided Bot we will remark that who are piaanicg a mar. der do noi advertise their hatred of their victim to all their acquaintances. Whoever the murderer of Dr. Bur. del! is, be is most probably beyoad reach now. The evi- derce elic ted jamtifies the of no person; and nearly all sue) cccurrences which promised to pote clicumstantial evidence, have doemeatisiactority exp! Now, on the night of the murder all the cul- verts were stopped up, and the piers and slips were full of ice; even if the murderer had walked a mile and a half to the river, his implements would have been found on the nextmorning, As for advertising the plan of the murder, the peo- ple in the house, except Burdell, were very cau- tious. The evidence against Mra. Cunningham and Eckel is drawn partially from documents, partially from littie circumstances of no great weight separately, but quite enough to excite strong suspicion when taken together, and chiefly from Burdell’s declarations to his friends that the people in the house behaved as if they desired to roband plunder him. These are the suspicious occurrences, and not the slightest explanation has been given of them. Wn called upon to testify, yesterday, Mrs. Cunningbam and Mr. Evk- el both declined. Now that they are in some sort held as accomplices, it is not to be expected that they will give evidence; bat they said very litde when they were first before the jury, and have since had a whole week in which to prepare a statement for the public. Our Wall street co- temporary must post himself more thoroughly when he next attacks a subject of thiskind. His theory is not sustained by the facts in the case. ‘The aepect of the affair has not been material- ly varied by the evidence of yesterday. Mr. Capron, formerly City Judge, who, it is said, is engaged by the heirs of Burdell to take care that Mrs. Cunningham does not get any of the property, re-examined Mr. Blaisdell and Mr. Snodgrass at length. Their testimony contains nothing of material importance, although a great deal of time was occupied in making them say what they have said before. We have never before heard of a prosecuting attorney for @ coroner's jury, and if Mr. Capron is to examine the witnesses, why should not the Coroner declare the session en permanence, and allow the counsel for the prisoners the right of cros#-examination. The ouly new points evolved yesterday were in the testimony of « corset maker in Broadway, who testified that Mre. Cunningham, her eldest daughter and Mr. Eckel had a conference in her place of business, and in the statement of Mr. Snodgrass that he came down stairs at half-past ten on the night of the murder, and noticed that the key to the Doctor's door was not outside the door, where it was found in the morning. This would go to show that the key was changed to the outside after the murder was committed; but then it is not material. So far we bave only a combination of ugly circumstances against the acocured, but no positive evidence, direct or cir- cumstantial, to bring the murder home to their door- Axornen Scancet Lerren.It is reported that a letter signed by Sidney Webster and franked by Franklin Pierce, concerning a cer- taig sugar plantajion in the Kinney Mosquito purchase, hss been discovered ameng the diple- matic and financial curiosities ef the Niearages imbroglie, We hepe that none of this agar sticks to the fingers of Marey. We know that he has a sweet tooth in his head for the spoils ; but this Mosquito sugar plantation is not fer him. It would rein him. It would give him the cholera, It would be the death of him. Poor Pierce is used up; but will not Mr. White (com monly called Jo. White) step in for the vindica- tion of Marcy? ‘Tremendous Freshet over the Country—Up ‘wards of Three Millions of Property De- strayed. ‘On reference to our news columns it will be seem that there have been great freshets in the Hudson near Albany, in the Delaware, the Schuylkil, the Susquehanna and ether rivers. On the 5th inet. the rising of the water in the | Ohio at Cincinnati, and the moving of the ice created the greatest alarm im that city, and six steamboats were destroyed, and other damage done to property. We learn by telegraph that the bridge over the Potomac has been almost entirely destreyed, and we expect to have in the course of the present week still further accounts of damage caused by the long continued thaw with which we have been visited. While we have been congratulating ourselves on the rapid melting of the banks of ice and snow with which our streets were barricaded, the people of Albany, and that portion of our agricul- tural population who live along the banks of those rivers, have had in the destruction of their property good cause to remember the great thaw of 1857. They have in seme instances been driven trom their dwellings by the overflowing waters, and forced to take refuge elsewhere, with what- ever valuables they could carry with them in their flight. We are informed by telegraphic despatches trom Albany that the damage caused by the freshet there amounts to about two mil- lions of dollars, and that the flood rose three feet higher than has been knowa in thirty years before. The destruction of property in other parts of the country will probably exceed a million of dollars, making the total damage by this freshet over three millions. ‘The breaking up of the ice in the Hudson river, at and above Albany and Troy, has always been regarded with considerable anxiety by the people of those cities, and not without good reason, as the present and previous freshets abundantly testify. On the 12th of February, 1851, the decks in Troy were submerged, and two hundred feet of the embankment from the main land to the island abeve the city, and which had been built by the government to throw the water into the channel, was torn away. A still more de- structive treshet occurred from the thawing of the snow in the country along the Hudson, and the breaking up of the ice in that river, on the 3d of March, 1818. We are told that the water rose so rapidly, and to such a height, that several families living in Church street would have perished if they had not been rescued from their dwellings. Sloops were thrown up on the dock, and the horse ferryboat was driven about half way up to Pearl street. So great a freehet had not been known in forty years before. The great destruction of property throughout the country, from a cause which is liable to occur any winter, shows how imperatively necessary it is to make some provision for the future. Our tiver commerce has grown into an importance only second to our commerce on the ocean, and yet the means which have been adopted for its protection are far from being commensurate with ite extent. Through the application of steam to navigation, Albany, Chicago, and other commercial cities of the interior, have been brought into direct communication with Liverpool, Londonand the great ports of Europe; but while every provision has been made for the protection of their shipping, nothing has been done for the better security of the steamboats and other craft plying between our large inland ports. Perhaps it is hardly fair to expect that, at this early period. and with the remarkably rapid growth of our commerce, we should be as far advanced in this particular as the oldest maritime Powers of Europe, but it is time that we commenced the work, and the present destructive freshet proves that it cannot be accomplished too soon, By a proper system of grading, the city of Albany, which has suffered most by this freshet, might be almost placed beyond the reach of damage from the breaking up of the ice and rising of the river. The construction of stone piers, however, in this and the other cities which have suffered by the flood, would act as a sort of breakwater against the ice. and afford a safe dockage to the shipping. It is to the want of these that the damage may, to a great extent, be attributed, and until adequate provision is made for its security and protection we must expect to hear of still more damage from the same cause. Tne New York Coutectorsair—A Torm.y Wanxixe —We understand that a correspon- dence has recently taken place between Mr. Red- field, the Collector of this port, and the President elect at Wheatland, the result of which is that the Collector will resign about the last of May or early in June, unless circumstances should in- duce Mr. Buchanan to retain him in the office to the expiration of his full term, in 1858. In other words, if the present intestine broils, feuds, quarrels and rows among the rump of the de- mocracy of this city are not settled pretty soon the President elect will abstain for a year to come from apy change new dis. tribution of the Custom House spoila, This resolution will probably also be applied to most of the other large federal offices in this city, excepting that of the Surveyor of the Port, held by John Cochrane, who will have to leave it by the first Monday in December, being a member elect of the next Congress It will be well, therefore, for all the outside demo- cratic spoilemen of this metropolis to come to good terme as soon as possible, or they may all be completely dished for twelve or fifteen mouths longer. The dirty tricks of all the fuc- tions, the miserable dodges of the bogus lobby clique, and the swelling aseumptions of authori- ty of the sachems, all together, are only calcu- lated to disgnet the new President; and we warn the wrangling cats and dogs of old Tammany of the consequences if they keep it up a week or two longer.

The cre- dentials of Mr, Fitch, as Senator elect from Indiana, were presented by his colleague, Mr. Bright, and a motioa made to allow Mr. Fitch to bo sworn in. This was vio Jently resisted on the part of the biack republicans, and sturious debate followed, which engaged both sides of the chamber. Thigis the first instance in which an ap- Piication of the kind has beem objected to. Mr. Fitch had the mecessary certificate of the Governor, ‘and the democrats demanded that the usual practice should be ‘followed—that Mr. Fito should be sworn in, and the papers referred to the Judi. clary Committee. his was the course pursued in Trum- buli’s and Harlan’s cases. The case of Archibald Dixon, of Kentucky, was reforred to by Mr. Seward, but in that case there was an occupant im the seat, and the contest Wat between two applicants. Tne facts involved in the election of Mr. Fitch and the re-election of Mr. Bright present new and interesting questions. The epimion of the Supreme Court of Indiana was ‘obtained, an well as the opinion of the United States Dis- trict Judge for Indians, and ali pronounced the election legal and valid. Ata late hour the question was taken, and Mr. Fitch was sworn in. The Presidexzt communicated to Congress the estimates and drawings for an irom suspension bridge across the Potomac river, the cost being stated at three and a qua:- ter million cf dollars, ‘The House passed the California Wagom Road bill, ap- Propriating balf a million for that purpose. ‘The resolution for the impeachment of Judge Watrous ‘was postponed two weeks, and evidence ordered to be printed, ‘The Collection District bill was taken up, and an effor: made to rush it through today.
