Caicurra, Oct. 8, 1857. The cheering news from Delhi and Lucknow which this mail carries to England indicate that the tide of the rebellion is turning. Lucknow has been relieved, and. Delhi has been entered by the British troops. We have yet no official despatches from General Wilson, to whom is due the honor of the vic- at Delhi, but we know from private sources the fighting before that city was very severe, and that the loss of life in the assaulting ranks was very great. It has been remarked that since General Wilson assumed the command before Delhi, the siege has taken a new character. Under Generals Anson, Barnard and Reid, who successively preceded him, very little progress was made; and the ruling idea with the besiegers was that Delhi could not be taken without the aid of large reinforcements from England. Under this idea, the months of June, July and August were spent in a@ series of defensive skirmishes, and in resisting sorties of the enemy from the city. The effect of this nega- tive system of operations was to make Delhi just what General Barnard, when dying, declared it to be—a new Sebastopol. It became gradually a forti fied centre of the rebellion, whither flocked, daily, armed mutineers and malcontents from every part of Upper India. The long protracted siege was de- stroying the prestige of the British arms. It gave opportunity to the enemy to strengthen his position of defence, while, at the same time, it wasimperiling the position of the British camp,to which access had been entirely cut off except from the side of the Punjab. When Gen. Wilson assumed the command, he resolved to cut short the siege, and storm the city with such forces as he had. The odds against him were fearful. Delhi was a walled city, well fortified by English skill. The houses were built chiefly of brick, heavy enough to offer a good resistance to shot. Thirty thousand mutinous soldiers were with- in the city, besides some forty thousand armed town’s people and badmashes—all fighting men. The assault was commenced on the 14th of Sep- tember, and on the evening of the 20th the whole city, palace and suburbs were in the possession of the British. The enemy fled in all directions, and on the morning of the 21st a detachment of cavalry Ieft the city in pursuit of the fugitives. This force overtook and captured the old King, Mahommed Bahadoor Padishah, and his wife, whose lives were d. On the next day the King’s two sons, leerza Mozhul and Mirza Khisra Sultan, and his ison, Mirza Aboo Buser, were captured and yt. It is known that these royal rascals were Jeaders of the rebellion. Thus the seige of four months is origi ended. Delhi, it is reported, is now ‘‘a desolate waste.” question now is asked by every one in Cal- eutta—‘How will General Wilson be rewarded?” It is the universal opinion that he deserves the “most honorable recognition” by the home govern- ment. He has anticipated the laurels which, it was supposed, would be won by Sir Colin Campbell, and which perhaps that sturdy soldier would have won had he gone straight to Delhi when be arrived at Bombay, instead of coasting round to Calcutta, to hob-nob with the Governor General and those invete- rate old women who sit in his council. You will notice that the name of Sir hehe ra abe _ ‘diy appeared in the news| rs since he arrives rey at has done poling ance he arrived, and now that Delhi is taken his oopeermnity has passed He has been eclij by General Wilson, a quiet but bold and experienced soldier, who has spent hi life in India, and is, strange to say, an officer of the East India Company's service. fitrange to say— because it is getting to be a proverb in India that when several of the n’s generals have been successively employed in one enterprise, a Company's general has at ‘last to be called in to bear off the palm! Lacknow was relieved on the 25th September by General Havelock, and just in time to save its be- Jeaguered garrison from destraction. Havelock crossed the Ganges from Cawnpore on the 19th of Beptember, with a force of 2,700 men, and pressed on to Lucknow. ‘The resistance he met with from the rebels, on his march, was of the most desperate character. On the 22d he heard the guns of the garrison at Lucknow, not yet in sight, to which he responded with a royal salute from his 24-pounders. On the morning of the 25th he saw thecity. Skirt- ing it, against severe resistance, he forced his way to the Residency, which he reached in the evening, just in time to repulse the enemy, who had already ran two mines far under the egy fortifications. ie besiegers were as- the most courageous officers in India, whose death at this juncture is a public calamity. On the 29th right quarter of the town was occupied and weven guns captured. Bince the no information from Lucknow has reached Calcutta; and on this account, great anxiet; is felt here respecting General Havelock. There a large rebel force between Lucknow and eeneere, commanded it is F by the warlike chiefs of Oude. feared that thi force ha taken pomension of the road to Cawnpore, thus preventing the retarn of General Havelock and his gallant army. If this proves to be the fact, the successful exploit of Havelock in re- Hieving the besieged Residency, is not likely to ter- minate the straggle in Oude. That country has been for centuries the “breeding ground” of the of India. It has sq soldiers to the Compazy's armies and to the armies of the native princes; and it would be easy any da: for the rebela to gather a force of fifty thonsan Ris men around Lucknow—men w! hatred the fn ish is of the most determined character. If Ge Havelock's retarn is cut off by these men, we fear it is cut off forever. An officer in Havelock’s army bas written a letter from Cawnpore, Septem! 18, giving a graphic ac- count of the melancholy spectacle which the place presented when Nena Sahib murdered the English | asa l extract the following passages from his We over on after this to Futtebpore, and here 1 looked field where General Havelock fought his (irst bat- tie, The remains of an elephant killed by our artillery were still lying there, with the skeletons of some horses and other scattered remaants of the fight.

While the butchery was going on the screams and shrieks of-the victims were said to be heart-rending; but as every “gentle Hindoo”’ and ‘‘ timid Mussulman’’ was anxious to flesh his blade in the bosoms of our women, there were plenty of butchers to do the work, so it did not last long. Close alongside the house is the gallows, and already some 200 miscreants have paid there the penalty of their crimes—a fate far too merciful for them. Nothing has been heard of Nena Sahib for some time past. It is supposed that he is at the head of the rebels in Oude. On the 2d inst. the Governor- General issued a proclamation in several lan; » offering a reward of 50,000 eo ($25,000), for the apprehension of “Sreemunt Dhoondoo Punt, Nena ib, of Bittoor.” It is to be hoped this reward will soon put that fiend into the revenging hands of the government. An important meeting of the Bengal Chamber of Commerce was held on the 5th inst., at which it was voted to support the petition against the East India Company, made by the British and other foreign re- sidents of Calcutta to Parliament, which was sent to England in charge of Mr. Henry Mead, editor of the Friend of India, in August last. I sent you a copy of this petition at that time. The of tl ber of Commerce was very exciting. | enclose a full report of it, to which I beg to refer you. It is a chapter in Anglo-Indian history worth noting. There is a steamtug running ‘on our river called the Underwriter, which is owned by a sag wet of American merchants doing business in cutta. When her me gm ’s ship, Bellisle, with sige on board, arrived below a few days since, the Under- writer ran alongside, and to tow the ship up to the city—a distance of some seventy-five miles —for 2,500 ‘rupees, about $1,250. The commander of the Bellisle refused to pay that sum for being towed up to the city, and the Underwriter refused to tow up the ship for any less sum. So, not being able to agree on terms, the vessels , and the ship was towed up by some othercratt. But now, mark this, and please Lape it in the Heratp, in large so tals, as it has already been published here. Superintendent of Marine has issued orders that, be- cause the steamtug Underwriter refused to tow H.M. ship Bellisle up the river for a less sum than 2,500 rupees, any vessel that shall en, the Underwriter to tow her will not be provided with a pilot. This order prevents the tug from — -~ more busi- ness, What do you think of it? It is British mean- ness all over. Her Majesty is too poor to pay for a tow boat. Egad! It is expected that there will be a it scarcity of flour here when the troops from England arrive to increase the demand. e¢ Commissariat is about to despatch a steamer to the Cape of Good Hope for a cargo of flour, and he will probably engage all the cargoes of American flour that are expected to ar- rive here during the next few months. This will be pleasant intelligence for American ee. Not only flour, but boots and shoes, and all kinds of na- oe and military stores will soon be in great demand ere. Sir Colin Campbell is eating his tiffin at the Gov- ernment House, and seems to be in no such bag bad fight as he was to get away from England. en the reinforcements arrive he will visit the Upper Provinces, accompanied io Lom Canning, and will take up a position at Allahabad. The American ship J. P. Morse, Captain Weeks, just arrived from Liverpool, got ashore in the vicini- y of the James and Py, during Sunday last. By the last account received the vessel had sixteen feet of water in her hold. The master of the vessel and his family have come up to town, which is a sign that the vessel hax been abandoned. Since the above was written (our correspondent proceeds): We have learned that the vessel has gone down. One of the ship's boats arrived off town astern of the ship War Spirit in tow of the tug Francis Gordon at 4 P. M. yester day, having on board a part of the crew, a few sails, and such of the cabin furntiure as the people on board were able to eave. A native correspondent makes a snggestion to me which is worthy of attention. says: — It may not be known to the Indian authorities and English public that two large stones were originally di up from the diamond mines of Golconda and were ni oh-i-Noor and Koh-i-Toor Feepectively, both being sup- posed to he of equal value. h of the former is ‘well known—bow, after passing through a variety of ad ventures, it hasf found its destined goal in the person of Queen Victoria. The other gem, Koh-i-Toor, is believed to be still in the possession of the royal family of Dethi, and kept concealed in some obscure corner in the subter ranean Tykbana of the place. Of its existence there is not the slightest doubt in the mind of the intelligent na tives, but the secret of its present whereabout is known only to a select few, who by proper management may be made to divulge it. It would, therefore, be worth the value of those interested in the matter to leave no stone unturned to discover one, the value of which is worth a kingdom. The Trouble at Piermont, The reported trouble among the laborers at Piermont turns out to be greatly exaggerated. There was no riot. ing worth mentioning. The facte seem to be that the new President of the Company, in initiating his economizing policy, proposed to cut%down the laborers on the road from $1 to 90cents per day. This of course produced much discontent among the men, and they declared they would not work at the company’s price. Superintendent Riddte hired some thirty new men ap the river, who agreed to work at the reduced rate, and on Thursday last they were landed on the dock at Piermont. The regalar laborers, who were still at work, hearing of the arrivah proceeded to the dock, where an altercation between the men 00. curred. Some of the new men being frighted ran away, and took refuge in one ofthe machine of the company. Upon this the employes of the company became alarmed and sent to the police of this eity for aid, which was promptly ren dered. With the police went up on Friday night some 200 men mp syn to take the place of the old ones in ease the latter did not accept the company’s terms. As soon as it was known that « police force had been sent to keep the , the laborers came to their senses, and express. ed their willingness to come to terms. All was qniet yes terday.

Sanpusky, Ohio, Nov. 25, 1857. ‘This city and vicinity have been ina paroxysm of modern progression, resulting from the sudden collapse of a free love institution, which has been in existence in Erie coun- ty for over a year, as has since become known, though but few were aware that this natural culmination of black republicanism, abolitionism, disunionism, Bloomerism and spiritualism, which have their stronghold inthe West in Northern Obio, existed among us as @ philosophy until the grand explosion which took place on the 16th instant, when four women and five men, identified with the movement at Berlin Heights were taken into cus- tody on a charge of adultery, and were taken before the authorities of this city for 4 preliminary examination. All of the accused parties hold to this modern ismatic mon- atrosity, originally unfolded in this country by the Bris- bane-Greeley school of philosophers, and latterly expound- ed by Stephen Pearl Andrews and Mrs. Gove Nichols and their disciples. The free love league which existed in New York two years since, I believe, was the last pin knod&ed down by popular indignation, and New York, #0 far as J bave been informed by the press, has since been without a free love club of the philosophical order. But the idea, ems, Was s00n after transplanted to this State, where it has been nursed by two schools of isma- culturalists—the spiritualists on the one hand, and the so- cialists on the other—the one being on the supernatural dodge and basing their material acts upon the revelations of ghosts, and the other acknowledging that they are af- fected witb this moral measles in the natural way. ‘The free lovers whose leaders here were some days in limbo, are now probably convinced that there is a limit to individual freedom, and that there is a difference between liberty and license. ‘The organ of the free love movement in the West isa monthly magazine, published for some years at Green ville, Darke county, in this State, but which was removed to Berlin Heights two months since. Berlin Heights is an unostentatious little village of thirty houses, situated about three miles from Berlin station, on the Cleveland and Toledo Railroad. Until the present timo it has been celebrated for nothing in particular, though from its newly formed association it is now favored with an ephemeral fame. Here Francis Barr; and his wife, Cordelia bgt! and Joseph Treat resid One day they were carried off {n a fit of modern philose- phy, and under some influence—the idea of speculating 0 town lots, or whatever it was—they became inspired wih the idea that Berlin Heights was to become the i cen tral squatting ground of hirsute philosophy, whence vas to radiate the benign light of the new dispensation which was to convince the world of the beauties of loose morals and easy virtue. “We, the people of England,” said the three tailors of Tooley street; and Francis and Cordelia Barry and Joseph Treat in the name of science called a meeting of all free people to assemble at Berlin Heights, in October, 1868, to consider the lamentable condition of the universe in gene- Tal and the United States in particular, The melancholy evidences of the world’s depravity were instanced at some length im the Convention, The fact that men and women had but a single wife or husband respectively was a fact that made the big hearts these philosophers melt with sympathetic emo. tions. That children, ag a general thing, knew their own fathers was a fact which called forth the most emphatic protests at such shocking depravity; and the morbid sen: timentality which clung to the associations around the family hearthstone, called for their unite4 efforts to pari our social system ofsuch a stumbling block in the pat of modern progress. In view of these facts the Conven- tion concluded that the world was a fool, and that Berlin Heights should be turned into an asylum for idiots, in order that the world might be doctored for its imbecility and be regenerated under the inspiring touch of loose love. The Convention gave an impetus to this movement, though its progress was slow. During the winter two young philosophers, named Moore, swelled the list of free vers to five persons, but the division between the sexes— four to one—showed an unpleasant preponderance of mas culinity, In April, however, Mrs. Sophronia Powers, a spirituo-free lover, arrived at Berlin Heights, and leased the village hotel, which at once became under he: _ the headquarters of philosophy and the travel ing public. Mrs. Powers is a woman of no little strength of character. Being unpopular in the place where she had previously resided, because of her ultra views, aud hearing that the indignation of the people was to be manifested against her by violence, she purchased a revolver or two, which she carried with her constantly mm the day and slept with at night—probably Decause she found it to be a bed-fellow suited to her Delligerent nature. The accessions, r, during the summer were not large, though the iters were nu- merous—probably because the chances were limited there in which philosophy would pay. In September a call was published w the Social Revolu tiontst, the organ of the movement, for another conven- tion, to be beld at Berlin Heights, The document is a little remarkable for its dual aspect, the one side being pseudo phil I, and the other worthy of a fancy stock deal erin street. They acknowledge the di ties which are liable to interrupt them, and yet they have faith in ‘their success, Though they state it to be the business of soolaliste to show, not what can be done with capital, but to show that harmony in social relations is practicable, and the fact that they intend to illustrate the idea at Berlin Heights; yet in the next paragraph they speak of their not being able to command a large amount of capital, though it promised to come to them as freely and as fast ag there was need, 80 Much so that pecuniary eucceas ssemed to be no longera question. ft speaks of the great induce ments to those who have means to invest in social en- lorera. The toleration of public sentiment in the vicini. ty ia alluded to, and they recite the fact that this tolers tion will be very readily appreciated by the free lovers. They urge ., that whilst they are dof all in their power to bring around the day when there will be remunerative work, for the present there is a greater need for those wro have cash rather than , and they give the delightful assurance that those who come must rely upon their own resources. They state, however, that those who have only the ability to work might find a place in some attractive group, but —— must come at their own risk, that attraction is vy their only law and that they will noteven work with those, however good, who are oot attracti that a socialist of eminent ability and corey about to establish a water cure in connection with movement and as a part of it, to be conducted on strictly hydropathic and socialistic opathy, a new sz in medicine) principles, and finally, that the hotel at ‘ia Heights is in possession of a group of socialiets. Appended to the call are some thirty #ix vames of men and women, some of whom are thoee arrested. But whilst this movement was going on at Berlin Heights, spiritualism, by the inevitable force of moral gravitation, was fast falling into the embrace of (ree love. At Ravenna, in this State, a convention of epiritualists was held, whither Mrs. Carrie Lewis, the wife of a mer. chant in ‘Cleveland, went—she being afree lover, based upon exclusive information received in her communion with the ghosts. Mrs. Lewis astonished the Convention by announcing that she was married to everything that wore breeches, and thongh several masculine ghost worshippers, who were present, with their wives, (as in duty bound under the cireumstances) disavowed the relationship, i though the Con. vention succeeded in passing a resolution repudiating free love, yet Mra. Lewis was strongly bac in her bold position, which bad the effect to give a deal of Dutch courage to the chicken-hearted would be free to the result ie that the namber of acknowledged prosels among the ghost worshippers has materially increased. The sentiments uttered by Mre. Lew = of the editor of the Cleveland Herald. took exception to z ‘They announce But Mre.

But to retura to the Convention, which was held in pur- suance to the wll, at Berlin Heights, in the latter part of September. ‘hes were made by varioi © orators, Franc Barry, Dr. Buckley, Joseph t Bs. ler, J. W. Towner and Dr. Newberry, in which the new ilosophy was foreshadowed. The substance of all that was eaid is Coniained in the following resolutions, which were adopted — Resolved, Ttat the first great right of humanity is the right to love; aid that there can be no ible justifica- tion of any attempts to interfere with the freedom of its exercise. Resolved, That free love is neither ‘variety in love” nor exclusive bye—neither constant love nor transient eve; but simply freedom—the freedom of each heart to be true to its Own nature, to obey its own attractions. Resolved, That if nature has made the human heart in- constant or promiscuous ip its tendencies, it is nature’s fault, and not airs; and that they who find fault with freedom for the mason that men and women are naturally inclined to vice ard impurity, have their quarre] with na- ture, and not withus. Resolved, That so far from believing that freedom in love tends to pramiscuity, we regard such ap intimation as an unmitigated |nsult to human nature; and that such tendencies, wherever they exist, are the result, not of love gratification, but of repression and starvation. Resolved, That al, opposition to free love is founded in the orthodox idea of human depravity—the idea that men, when free to obey the promptings of their own natures, are inclined to immortality and crime; and that so soon as people are really convinced that human nature is not de- praved, but that man’s aspirations are towards all that is Hood and beautiful and noble, so soon will they bail free- jom in all relations as the great purifier and saviour. Resolved, That the doctrine of a future life of love and happiness and progress, and that angels are our associates and ans, is as beautiful and attractive as the doc: trine of annihilation is horrible and repulsive; and that, therefore, spiritualism is to be welcomed and cherished as man’s only sulvation from soul-witbering hopelessness and blackest despair. Resolved, That we can do justice neither to the heads nor the bearts of our spirit friends, except by presuming that their efforts are directed to the gowns | of man from all error and all wrong, and te the promulgation and success of all beautiful and saving truths. Resolved, That the central doctrine of spiritualism is free love, in not being denied that the angels themselves are free lovers, and it being unreasonable to suppose that they are laboring for any other purpose than to bring heaven to earth, and make us like unto themselves. Resolved, That we do not believe in, and that we do not want for durselvee, any other free love than such as is cherished and taught and practised by the angels.

Previous to the Convention a man named F. & Tyler and a Mrs. Mary Lewis, whose conversion Tyler had ‘effected when visiting the house of her husband at Skeneateles, New York, and had brought her with bim to Berlin, took possession of the hotel previously occupied by Mrs. Pow- ers, as already mentioned, and were negotiating for its purchase. The resolutions, in the meantime, had been extensively read by the people of Berlin, and for the first time they seem to have appreciated the revolutionary character of the doctrines contained in them, cai- calated as they are to subvert all the institations which are looked upon as sacred by the civilized world; and the prospect of Berlin Heights becoming the ventre of the movement excited not a little alarm. An in dignation meeting was held, at which it was resolved to purchase the hotel property rather than have it go into the hands of Tyler, and then, if need be, to burn it, The pwner of the property, however, considered himself obli Fated to make out the deeds, as the bargain had been made, and the Papers wore signed soon after.

Marah, who wae brought before Judge Russell on a charge of obtaining $850 worth of segars by means of a false token and false representa. tions. The complainant was James Schott, an importer of segars, doing business at No. 5 William street, who made an affidavit to the effect that Marsh went to hie store on the 24th of November last and said he wanted to purchase segars of him; that in payment thereof, or rather as col. lateral security for the segars, he presented certificates of stock, purporting to be of the Cumbertand Coal and fron Company, and which he represented to be genuine. Healso told the complainant that they had been welling i the Board of Brokers in this city at between $11 and $12a share. Upon these representations Mr. Schott sold the segars to him. Mr. Rdward F. Loomis, secretary of the company, which was chartered in 1862, testified That the certit were not genuine and thatthey had not been for sale by the Board of Brokers. The false certificates are signed by W. J. Patison as President and George Gray as Secretary, while Mr. A. MeHaffey is the President and Mr. Edward F. Loomis the ee, of the company.

SUICIDE OF A MBRCHANT BY CUTTING His THROAT WITH A RAZOR—CORONBR’S INQUEST. William . Wetmore, a well known merchant doing Dusiness at No, 80 Dey street, committed suicide yester- day morning, at bis residence, No. 724 Broadway, by cut- Ung bis throat witha razor. The deceased, it appeared, bosrded with Mrs, Cornelia Clarkson, at the above num: ber. For the last three or four days he was confined to his room by an attack of erysipaias, On Friday night a number of friends called to see him, when they found him sitting up and apparently in a cheerful mood. On ‘their departure Mrs. Clarkson thought proper to remain up with the invalid until about five o’clock yesterday morning, when sho retired. At 74 o’clock A. M. one of the domestics tried to get into the deceased's room, for for the purpose of lighting a fire in the grate, but was unableto do so, asthe door was locked on the inside. Mrs, Clarkson knocked at the door repeatedly, bat was unable to obtain any answer from within. Finally, one of the chambermaids put her eye to the keyhole, and looking into the the bedroom a horrible spectacle met her view. The body of deceased, covered from head to foot with gore, with the throat cut from ear to ear, and a blood stained razor lying beside the corpse, completed the ghastly pic- ture. The alarm was promptly raised, when a message ‘was despatched to. No. 8 St. Mark’s place, the residence of deceased's brother, informing the latter of the sad occurrence. The bedroom door was subsequently burst open, when the fears of all present were fully realized— the deceased was found to be entirely inanimate. He was lying on big back, within a few feet of the bed, dressed in nothing but bis shirt and drawers, which were completely saturated with blood. A large pool of blood was found upon the lower end of the bed, and the appearances were such as to justify the theory of de- ceased’s having committed suicide while ina sitting pos- ture. The room was strictly searched, but no letters as- signing & cause for the commission of the rash act could be diseovered. Coroner Connery was notitied of the occurrence about nine o'clock, when he repaired to the scene of the trage- dy, and at once commenced to investigate the case. From the position of the cor upon the floor, the Coroner was at frst inclined to think that some foul play had been used in the premises, but as the inquest progressed, and the testimony of the inmates of the house, together with that of the medical gentemen who made the post mortern examination of the body, was adduced, all doubts as to the case being one of suicide were removed.

CORONKR'S INQUEST UPON THE BODIRS OF THE DB- CEASED WORKMEN—-VERDICT OF THE JURY CENSUR- ING THE CONSTRUCTOR OF THE BUILDING, ON THE GROUND OF INCOMPETENCY, The inquest in the case of John Kelly and Peter Mahon, the laborers who wero killed by the falling of the build- ing, corner of West and Bethune streets, on the 2d inst., was concluded yesterday by Coroner Gamble, at the ‘Ninth precinct station house, resulting in the jury bringing in @ verdict of censure against the constructor of the building, for having taken upon bimeelf a task for which he was not competent. ‘The following is a part of the proceedings as they tran- spired before the Coroner yesterday :— Mathew White, residing at No. 76 Christopher street , being duly sworn, deposee and says:—I am proprietor of he building at the northeast corner of Bethune and West streets; it is used as @ malting house; we sell the mait to brewers; the building is not entirely completed ; Jobn Kelly, he deceased, has been in my employ as laborer since August last; Peter Mahon, deceased, came iw work at my place on the 2d inst., shovelling grain; on the 2d inat. John Kelly was shovelling grain om the first floor and Peter Mahon on the fourth floor; they were getting the grain up on the fourth floor from the first; { was in the building all day; about twenty minutes before 7 o'clock P. M. I was tanding by the clevator, on the first oor, when I heard a crash, and was struck on the leg by a falling timber; I ‘was not conscious enough to examine into the matter at the time; 1 went home; 1 returned in about twenty minutes, and found that the floors from the fest to the fourth had fallen through for a space of about forty or sixty feet; I heard that Kelly, the deceased, was in the ruins; Thad my men to work endeavoring to extricate him; his body was taken out next morning; I did not know at the time of the accident that Mabon had been caught by the falliog floors; bis body was not recovered: ff twenty-two honrs ‘after the accident; the carpenter and mason work of the building was done under my own supervision; it was done by day's work ; the boss mason was Mr. Derbyshire and the carpenter Daniel Stearns; there were specifications for the building; they are now in Albany; [am not @ practical builder; it is not my profession; [think I am as competent to super- intend buildings as most men whose profession it is; I consider the beams and girders good timber and suffi- ciently strong; the posts are not as geod as they ought to have been; there was a mistake in putting them in; it was done by my direction; hemlock was the timber run- ning from ; leonsider hemlock as it not better t y other timber I could have used; tha flooring of the second and third floors was brick and ce- ment; there was one hundred and eighty-eight tons of grain’ on the fourth floor; this quantity was distributed ‘over a space of one hundred by seventy feet; it was not deeper than four and a half feet at any point; I have ex- amined the building since the accident, the walls have not given way; it would have made a difference of from $1,500 to $2,000 to me to have put pine in of hem- lock ; | mean that there was so much saved, the dimensions of the building are as follows :-—Length on Bethune street, 190 feet; on West street, 0 feet tive inches; height, feet 8 inches; the dimensions of the hemlock beams were 12 inches; Henry L. Jans is the name of my engineer; he charge of the laborers at the time of the accident, the pressure of grain ig more direct than lateral; manufac. tured grain would not be more than half the weight of raw ain; 1 should have put 2,000 tons weight on the fourth joor. Oennis Hennessy, residing at 132 Fast Nineteenth street, deing duly sworn, deposes and says: —I am a master car- penter; at the instance of Coroner Gamble I made an é: amination of the building corner of West and Bethune street yesterday the building, as far as the plan goes, is quite good; on leaving the basement I thought there was some settling previous to the acewent; the posts in the basement were of good material and sufficiently strong; the posts appeared to be good throughout the whole building; the fault 1 found m= the build- ing was the presence of hemlock beams; my ex- perience in building heavy stores has taught mo that pine beams will yield to a great weight, especially to the kind of weight in the building corner of Bethune and ‘West streets, and when the weight is removed they come back again; L have seen this mostly in heavy paint stores; J consider spruce as stropg as re, but hemlock I look upon as insufficient; my opinion is that the cause of the falling of the building, corner of Bethune and West streets, was the bad quality of the tloor beams; hemlock timber will not spring as much as pine, and come back; pine will carry 150 per cent more weight than hemlock; the size and quality of the beams used in that building were posi- par ed isuilicient, the size of the beams were 4 by 12 inches William Tucker, reviding at No. 32 Macdongal street, being duly sworn, deposes and says:—{ am a builder by profession; 1 have examined the building corner of Re thune and West streets; I first examined the exterior walls and found them good: the walls in the basement ara 16 inches thick; there was no settlement more than usual; the girders and floors generally appeared to be level! and. in ther 1 places, the posts in the basement are red cedar; the girders are about 14 inches square; the posts first floor are of pine, 10 inches, and the girders the same ‘as in the basement. the red cedar posts were full of knots; they are very durable; on making apn found thata great weight laid on the fourth floor about 26 feet from the front wall, one of the posts under the weight had broken off about one-third of the way from the top and allowed the girder to come down, | am satisfied that the cause of the falling of the floors was ‘he breaking of the posts on the third floor, and that these posts were insuificient, 1 don’t think the beams bad anything to do with the disas- ter; Ido not consider that the posts used in that building were all sufficient for the purposes intended; I think the hemlock beams were good enough for the use intended ; Lagree with Mr. Hennessy in the opinion he expressed in regard to the difference of weight which would be sus- tained by pine and hemlock Jacob Hi. Valentine, being duly sworn, saye:—lama master carpenter; | have examined the building corner of Bethune and West streets, and I am satistied that the posts ‘on the third floor and the hemlock beams were insufficient ; T wonld not have used hemlock if 1 bad been getting up such a building. Sylvanus Gedney, being duly sworn, sayn:—t am ames ter builder; Treside at No, 30 Leroy street; 1 have exa- mined the building corner of Bethune and Wost streets; 1 bave heard Mr. Tucker's statement, and 1 fully conear with him, my first impressions were that the failing of the tloor was caused by the beams being insufficient, but upon further examination, | believe that the fault lay in the John Ferguson, M.D. being duly sworn, says:—I have examined the body of the man lying dead at No. 136 West Nineteenth atrect; I found a fracture of the vertebra; tee injury was sufficient to cause death. The case was then given to the sary, when, after due deliberation, they rendered the following VERDICT. “That the deceased came to his death by fracture of the dorsal and cevical vertebra, caused by the falling of the floors of a building, owned by M: ww White, on the northeast corper of Bethune and West streets, ber 2, 1857. Further, we consider a portion of the vertical posts in said building insufficient for the purposes for which they are applied, and we censure Mathew White for having taken the supervision of the construction of said waaee he being incompetent as an architect and builder." Upon the rendition of the above verdict Coroner Gam- ble examined Mr. White upon the charge preferred against him, when he stated that he was 25 years of age and & native of Albany. reference to the charge preferred ‘against bim, he sa Jean prove that Tam capable of constracting the building on the northeast corner of Be thune and West street.
