Once Bore Mrs, Cunningham, Oxce more the bola bad womau who has filled so large a space in our newspapers duriog the present year looms up, and compels us to exclade other matter to do justice to her villany, Yes terday noon, Mr. Surrogate Bradford delivered the judgment that has been so Jong expected in the case of Mrs. Cunningham's application for letters of administration of the estate of the late Harvey Burdell, whose widow she declared her- self to be. The Surrogate of course decides againet the claims of the presumed widow. He tells us that, though the labor of collating and analyzing the very voluminous ¢vidence in the cage was arducus, a careful study of his analysis left Lim no room whatever for doubt. He has pot ihe least ecruple in deciding that the secret marriage never did take place, and that Mrs, Cunningham never was the wife of Harvey Burdell, In one point of view thisdemolishea the widow; aa we presume that che will rest content with this decision and not provoke a further defeat by in- stituting an appeal. Her long cherished hopes are thus dashed; the object for which she waded through all this crime is gone forever. But on d, when we come to examine the effect y, Surrogate Bradford may not have helped as much here, as be injured her there. | She is vow in custody on a charge of producing or attempting to produce a supposititious child with a view fraudulently to intercept the iaberi taree of the late Hervey Burdeil. But if she was not the widow of Harvey Burdell, no child of bers— whether supposititious or geouine—could | intercept any inheritance; and the production ot the child would cease lo be acrime within the menuing aud intent of the law. We do not an to say positively that this constitutes a defence to the charge on which she will 'y be tried; but it is, we presume, the best defence that can be urged, and Mes Cunning- | ham’s counsel are likely to make the most of it. | It will be a matter of public regret if it should | be held by the Court to constitute a bar to the punishment of this very terribie creature. No one who reads the careful and cloaely ar- gued judgment of the Surrogate be fail to be | carried away by bis reasoning, And to concur He evidently with him in his conclusions. thinks, and the evidence justifies him in conclad- | ing that while Burdell was at Herkimer on the | day of the supposed marriage, Mrs. Cunningham | was in fact married to some one else.

Coxprrios or THe Freeny Boats.—The officers detailed to examine the condition of the ferry boats plying in the waters of New York made their report yesterday to the General Superin- tendent of Police. We publish it in another portion of our paper to-day.

The various ex- cursion boats are aleo reported as being properly provided. The William-lurg boats appear to be the only ones aginst which any complaint exists The officers report that those of the Peck Slip Ferry Company are supplied with the number of boats required by law, but they are all in @ miserable condition, unfit for use, and so rotten that they could not be launched without great danger of thyie going W piccos The two boats of the ‘some onc” should be hunted up.

Delega- tion after delegation is sent to Washington to wy to induce the President to apply the screw to the new Collector. These efforts, however, instead of being harmonious, proceed from several distinct cliques, cach baving its own interest to promote. ‘There are now vo less than three committees, cach claiming to be the General Committee of the Tammany organization, These committees are all bogus, and have no more claim to represent the demeeratic party than any other oi the nume- rous eections into which it is split.

Neither has it any organs other than the independent press, which reflects its views as long as they are consistent with the public interests, and ro ionger, These Tammany cliques are all composed of men baving their ows corrupt objects to compass. To effect these they seek not only to exercise an iniluecce over the prcsent Castom House appoint- ments, but to control them for the future, Thus, if any concessions be made to them, they will ouly serve as precedents for further interference witn the new Collector. Nothing could be more detrimentel to the public interests than this. We believe Mr. Schell to be one of the most capable men that bas ever been nominated to this im- portant post. He is not only sound lawyer, but he is thoroughly ported up in all branches of commercial businces. The merchants all like hice, they fecl the fullest confidence in him, ard look for important reforms under bis admin- istration. Now, if the Custom House is to be re- lieved from the baleful influence of political in- terference, and placed ou a footing satisfactory both to the government and the merchants, the new Collector is just the man to carry out these changes. All tuat he requires to enable him to remodel the department so as to give general satiefaction, is tne confidence and support of the President. That he will enjoy both is evident from Mr. Bucbunan’s maply declaration in reply to the assertion of one of Mr. Scheil’s political opponents, that the new Collector could not com- mand more than a corporal’s guard in New York, “then,” enid the President, “1 will make one of the corporal’s guard.” Let Mr. Schell act upon the pledge of confi- dence implied in this answer. The President has faith in him—lct him yustify the President's confi- dence. We advise him in the consideration of his appointments to resist all outside pressure, and to kick to the winds the Sickle infleence, the Cochrane influence and the Wood influeace. It is only by turning « deaf car to, and holding a closed hand against all political recommenda- tions, and looking alone to the iaterests of the department, that he can fulfil the anticipations that have been formed of his administration. As the President has enrolled himself in the corpo- ral's guard, we advise him to give carte blanche to the corporal. He will be justified in doing so by the example of another peli/ caporcl, who ex- hibited a happy knack of always picking out the right men for the right places. Under such aus- pices we might ourselves be induced to join the corporal’s guard, but that, be it understood, only during good behavior. Anrap oy Tu Oceax Tenecrarn.—We lave been obliged on ecveral occasions to call atton- | tion to the astonishing enterprise of our young | friends of the Daily Zines, who are distinguished for their remarkable alacrity in enapping up all the canards which are floating about town. Thus, a short time since the Times contained a romantic account of the shooting of a burglar by an heroic young woman—a pure fiction, artistically worked up. Next, the same suthority informed us that the United States government had seized the island of Formosa, in order to make his Celestial Majesty, the Emperor of China, settle for certain depredations upon the property of American citizens. This was another romance, and Formo- ta will not be annexed just at present. We look ed at the 7’mer with the ecntiments of the sailor who went to the theatre, and having been blown forty feet in the air by an explosion of gun- powder, sald to his comrade, “Mold on, Jack! Let's eee what theyll do next.” Our curiosity | was eatiefied yosterday by the “latest” and high- | ly important intelligence concerning the Atlantic | telegraph—said intelligence purporting to be four days later than the news by the Anglo-Saxon, which sbip sailed from Liverpool on the 12th, while the Edinburg, which was alleged to have Drought the latest news to the Times, sailed from Glasgow three days before! The whole story was absurd, and the invention of some wag who | relieved the dulness of dog days by experiment- ing upon the guilibility of the Tims. A more transparent hoax was never Imposed upon a newspaper. The officers of the Edinburg saw nothing of the ships, as stated by the Times, and the log has no wccount of anything like the story that was imposed upon the credulity of qur young friends. From all these things we are led to believe that the Times people have too many irous in the fire. They cannot serve God and Mammmou- publish a newspaper and operate in fancy stocks. Stories that will do very well In Wall street won't bear publication. At the Stock Exchange | operators make news as they think it ought to be, but newspaper readers generally prefer to have it as it ia, The prospect is that we shall have the news carly enough, without takiag the trouble to manufacture it; but if we are to be swindled, let it be done artistically, at least ‘That last story about the telegraph was alto gether too bald. The Zine may try very hard, but that romantic flight can never be equalled. ‘Tue Orana at Bretow’s ‘Linda 4!
