THE NEW YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 7843. Close of the February Term—Vigerous Ef forts for the Suppression of Crime—Sen- fences for Various Offences—Motion to Quah Indictments against the Alleged Policy Dealers, dic., dic. COURT OF GENERAL SESEIONS. Before Recorder Barnard, Fes. 20.—This being the last day of the February term, ‘| large number of prisoners who pteaded guilty, or were convicted of various offences, were sentenced. The court room was crowded to excess, and the proceedings, which were unusually inte reeling thie morning, were tistened to With great attention, and, a0 doubt, at the adjournment the crowded auditory left the building convinced that the Judges of this criminal court were determined to use the tanost exertions to suppress crime in this city. Mayor Tiomana eécupied aseat on the bench with his Honor, sod romained tilt all the cases were disposed of. ‘The businers of the day was commenced in the case of TUE ALLEGED POLICY SELLERS. Fx- Recorder Smith said he appeared as counsel for Piny White, indicted for obtaining money under false pre- fences; ar. proposed, on a motion to quash the indict wens, to sudmit his points in writing The Assistant District A'torney said that unloss his Sonor’s decision shouid be siverse, he proposed, ae soon *# possible, to bring the matter to somo fina! termi- r Recorder Smith added that a number of his clients who were directed to appear this morning wore now in ‘Ccart; and in the cases of ‘be peuple againe! Secor, Wil- Mass, Tice, Martin and Reed, charged witb violating the dottery laws, he propowed to take the same course with regard toallof them, name!y—tile the demurrers and serve coctes of hit points tw the Districs Atorney aud to the Court. Mr. Sedgwick remarked that it was extremely desirable tm these castes that the law should be enforced. There would be ap argument on vome of the indictments against alleged policy sellers in the afternoon, a# counsel for some of tne defendant ‘was ready to proceed. ‘The Recorder stated thet counsel must eubmit his points detore Friday next, which be agreed to do. The arraignment of prisoners was ten proceeded with, when the Bret defendant was placed at tho bar. ASSAULT AND BATTERY. ‘Thomas H. Ferris pleaded guilty to an assault and bat- tery on Wm. P, McCormick. His Honor, in passing sen- tence, said that a number of affidavits in mitigation of punishinent were offered It seemed from the evidence that the complainant used very invulting and tantalizing fengnage ; but no words, however provoking they might be, were an excuse for the commission of an accanit Mr. Forria was fined $15, which he paid to the Merk, and left the Court Nicholas Cowan and Bartholomew O'Connor, convicted of an assault and battery on a member of the finance com- mittee of one of the parties at the late election. A gang of persons went up to bim ana asged him for some money; hut it geemed that the ringleader was convicted and sent to the penitentiary for one year. Aifidavite were Presented, showing that the defendants had excetient characters. Although there wore extenuating ciroum~ stances in this case, yet a breach of the public peace was mace which warranted the Court to punish them. Cowan wae ‘ined $20 avd Connor $15, and both were committed anil they were able to furnish the money. A NOTORIOUS DISORDELY HOUSKKEEPER. Mary Waters, who pleadea guilty to keeping a disorderly house, was then placed at the bar for sentence. She was drevsed in a flashy manner 4nd attracted considerable atiention, inasmuch as she is a notorious character, aa wil be seen by the Recorder's observations to her. In pass- ing sentence he spoke as follows:— For a number of years past you b been leading a fe of immorality and infamy. oo that time you have Deen the cause of rein to numbers of young men aod women. Saveral attempts have heretofuro been mate to caure you to cease your nefarious business; you havo gone ch regardiess of the lawa in force against your con.

From al | can learn of your antecedents, I am satisfied it would omiy be trifling with justice to again discharge you, a0 mutter how strong your professions of amendment may be. The community expect and demand that the laws shal) be strictly apd impartiaily carried out.

GRAND LARCENY. Hoffman, @ very respectable looking maa, pleaded guilty toan attempt at grand larceny. The Court m sea- tencing him said that great efforts had been made to se sion of judgment, but he did uot consider it to doo. It war un unpleasant task for him to periorm jn paesing sentence, because hie parcats and s wore of the highest respectability in the city and y of Now York. The prisoner was amply provided nd he had every oppostunity to become an hovor 8 aud ornamental member of society. In accordance with what his Honor deemed the interests of the com y required, he sent Hoffman w we State prisoa for two years and three months. Thomas Riley pleaded guilty to petit larcouy, and was sent to the Penitentiary for four months, he being in formod that if he ever stole a cent in future he would be sont to the State prison ASSAULT AND BATTRRY. Horace Waters, the music pobisber in Broatway the bar, having been found guilty of an asaault The sentence of the Court was . and stand committed until on Mary A. Williamson. that Mr. WY. pay a dine of $25 tuch due is paid. A FELONIOUS ASSAULT. David Mendiebaum, inaicted for ao assault with intent to kill, pleaded guilty to a simple assault and dauery, which plea was accepted by the prosecuting officer. ’ The Recorder. in paaring sentence, said that tno past life of the defendant, whore appearance in ticaved great respectability, was of such a character that it would be imprudent to exercise any levity wo him. Nor were there any mitigating circumstances other than the vordict of the jury to entitle him to clemency. Applications had been made by @ great number of persons, which were listened to attentively, but they did not alter the opinion his Honor formed during the trial. The Recorder further stated that tbe defendant had been engaged ‘na nefarious dusiness for a long number of years, the nature of which it was not necessary for him w reter to more parivoulariy. His Honor Weald take occasion to effnct a cessation of that business for rome time, so that the community could be protected at least for a brief period. He sent Mendie- bacm to the penitentiary for six months, and fined hia $200, the extreme penaity which the law ailuwed, GRAND LARCENY. Renjamin Thompeon, a well dressed and intey Engliebman, pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand cony. The prisoner made a lengthy statement to the Court, sufirting that ho was drunk at the time be comm‘tted tha effeuce, and that he purioined hit employer » property for the purpose of raising money enough t secure his pas- tage in one of the Kurcpean steamers, intending, om bie arrivai in Sheffield, England, to refund it toa brother of his employer, a merebant, in that city. The Recorder said that thoro was great mothod in the prisoner's drunkenness, for he tok «cart load of unils from the store of his emploger, rained at $600, and car. ried it to ab auctioneer’s establishment, going tho next day for the purpose of getting the returns. If his Honor allowed him to escape in this case, \t would only be a of impunity to hundreds af clerks in the city of ‘ork, who would steal with greater freedom whercas if the def.udant were puuished, and it abould be tood im this city that employes were expected to honest all the time, @ salutary reeiraint would be reised oyer Youbg men and prevent them from com. mitting deprédations. He Was sent to the State prison for two years and five months, Dennis Meehan and Edward Doyle, youths, pleaded guilty to larceny. Doyle was sent to the [House of Retuge, While Meehan was sont to Biackwoll’s Island for six months. A FRLONIOUS ASSAULT. Jobanna Beger, who was convicted of aa alt and battery, was sent to the penitentiary for six months, The Vourt in this case Kod that it was absolutely nosessary that the use of the knife should be checked ia of New York. Parties who have been imiioted for ‘elonious Amaalta wore very seldom convicted of the principal charge, the verdict being ‘‘assanit and bat tery” merely. This was owing tS the impossibility obtaining the requisite proof; namely, that at te tit the defendant stabbed the complainant he inten ted o kill him. file Honor would shew no mercy when such par ties wore brought before him for sentence, but would itm. pose the extreme penalty of the jaw, It was unfortunate tat the prisoner's famiiy relations were such as Mey had been representod—that a family were depentent apon his jabors for their support: bot that argument could be adduced by @ large number of criminals: aad if it should be taken mto consideration by the Court in ths mp eition of sentence, this court would be turned into a piace where sympathy and tears held sway, and where justice would Walk out unwitpped from the doors Thos, Iogah Was convicted of an asganit, and as the evidence showed that he wag not mach to blams, he was fined $10 atd discharged. John Koss, Whe was found guilty of an aggravated and assault, committed in Angust Inat, was sent ty jary for 60 days and fined $25. 1 seemed that the complainant white passing along the pabie ptrect was jostled by the defendant, who, on the com plainant torning rovad, struck him a violent ty which loprived bim of the partial wee of his eye. © thie away fem,” added the Recorder, im New York, must te check. eo #0 long as I elt here it shail be checked, and J in. tend, if I can, to make the abie as the walking of one’ FORGERY. ed poe gh informed that Jere: Flynn, a youth, conv cte1 of burglary in the third ie it up, when he hantled's letter enclosed in an envel his Hovor, who, after reading it, iy ‘was found guilty of quantity of boots and shoes, a pair of the stolen boots de- jog on hia feet at the time of his arrest.

I am your o! it servant, JEREMIAH FLYNN. RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS. Jacques Mornais, who pleaded guilty w receiving st>len ~~ was sent to the penitentiary for two years and two months Recorder Barnard said that with the exception of the crimes of murder and argon, be was of the opinion that no offence was more heinous than the crime of receivin, stolen goods; for the receiver employed a number youths to commit larcenies, who invariably were the vic- Ume, while the cause of their ruin escaped with fyi colors and parsued his nefarious business In that case there were a great many mitigating circam- stances, aad it was proved that the prisoner was not a pro- fessional receiver. Mary Forbes pleated guilty to an attempt at grand lar- ceny, abd was sont to the State prison fortwo years and two months. ‘I am satisfied,’’ said Mary, as she le® the bar. ‘And eo am I,” responded the Juage. Flizabeth Crawford pleaded guilty to forgery in the fourth degree, in attempting to pass a $3 counterteit bill on the John Hancock Bank. As she to be an ignorant woman, the Recorder thought she would be punished sufficiently by eending her to the pees for tne year. “These forgers ot bank billa,”’ said Honor, ‘‘use this class of persons to flood the city with counterfeit money,’” RATE. Joba Murphy, who was tried yesterday Catbarine jey, and convicted of an tery, was the prisoner placed at the froma the evicence adduced on the trial that the prisoner, together with a number of other boys, sed: the preeidiog Judge) she mast havc gone tually sutrgy. judge) she mi We fone One of the witnesses for the defence had the say that he and the defendant had criminal with the girl om previous occasions.

Thus terminates another chapter in the history of crime in th’s metropolis, the perusal of which will show that a large majority of Uo criminals arraigned at the bar of this Court are mere boys, who, from the corrupt and de- basing influences with which they are surrounded, ex- hibit @ oe cleswing. - soon x8 the prisoners were all sentenced a had been a silent but interested spectator, bis de- parture. MOTION TO QUASH THB INDICTMENTS AGAINST THE ALLEGSD LOTTERY POLICY DEALERS. Counse! for Jaco Boarges then aid he rose tor the purpoee of making ®n application to quash an indictment filed in thie court on the i2th of February, against his client. That application would affect other partie , altho: the motion for the purpeses of that occasion was only made tm the case of the leople vs. Boarges. It would be copeeded on the part of the prosecution, said the counsel, that the defendut had no eelection of the tribunal before which be would be tried; and if the law of 1865, with which the Court was pertectly familiar, giving exclusive Joriedictiou of misdemeanors to the Court of Special Ses- sions, (unless on certain occasions.) was constitational— which tt bad been held, he believed, by this Court not to be—then, of course, the jurisdiction of this Court was over. The defendant’ was arrested under a warrant issued by his Hovor the Mayor, for an alleged violation of the siatute against the vending of lottery polic'es. When ar- rested and brought before the Mayor, he did not elect to be tried by this Court Counse) then submitted the following points in support of bis motion, remarking tha: bis first point would be similar to ope presented two years ago, on a motion to qnaab indictments for gainbling — COUNSEL FOR THR DEFRNDANT'S POINTS, 1.—The 4d section of the law of 1801, a8 amended, is operative, for the reasons urged Dy me in the People va. S. Hall Tue reasovs are as follows:— The most pene| featire of the law is the second section, and this, ip my judgment, ie inoperative. It provides (hat, for the commission of ‘the offences specified in it, in cases of conviction offenders “ shall be sentenced to not jess (haw ten days in the penitentiary, or nut more than two years hard labor in ube State prison, and be fined,’ ko." In 90 countes of this State but New York, Albany aod Onondaga are there such prisons a8 penitentiaries, In the city ana gounty of New York this prison is under the control of thé Governors of the Almshouse (Laws of New York, 1849, 267); and in Alpany and , under the control of the Supervisors of the County. (Laws of New York, 1s47, 170-172; Laws of New York, 1850. 186-737.) In all other counties the prison snoworing to the peniten- tary is the “county jail,” which ts the control of the Sheriff. These jails are designated as county (awa of New York, 1847, 698 ) Inthe ease of the All enitentiary , it ie provices (Lawn ot New York, 1847, 170- 72.) that arrangement with eg nig of the county, prisoners convicted of offeaces than felony sent to It from Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenecta ly, the Onondaga penitentiary (Laws of New York, 1850, 735— 757,) it ie provided that, by sitailar arrany convicts inay be sent to it Madison, Portiand, Cayuga and Wayne counties, 4 person to be indicted aod comvicted under thie law in Queens. or Orange, or Dutchess county, or any other county where there i¢ no povitentiary, or no legalized by which convicts may be sent from itto the penitentiary of any other county, and the Court shonld not think it case deserving the Stato priron—the individual inust be imprisoned ton daye at hard Inbor (at Cf rate) tn the penitentiary—whero is be to beson? Will it be sai¢ to the “county prison,” a# answering to the peniten. tary? Thet is viovaling the great rule of consirnction by which penal statutes are confined. It wonld be equivalent. to putting the words “county prisons” into the second sec ton of the iaw—which is a direct addition to it. As tho law fixes the bighest ana lowest limit of punishment, in the case supposed, i! ine Court could not inflict the mitdest, muat it impose the State prison penalty? The convicted party bas the right to-have his punishment gra tuated be- tween there two iim'ts, and if one of them is impractica- bie, the will of the Legisiature is defeated, and the law twust fail. Must the Coart, in all such oases, sentence to the State prison, because tho ther punishment is, undor the peculiag {acts of the case, impoastbie? That would be sayiog what the L ature has not said, but what it hae distipetly said sheuld not be. Tt cannot be said that this law ix good for the counties heving penitentiariee, or for those from which sonvicta can be sent to the penitentiary of any cther county, be- canine it wae parsed to suppress gerabliog in every county ; and if it does not reach or apply to ali, it cannot to any ccunty. If the law fails 10 act so far as this section is concerned ail over the State, it fails in every part of the State. | conid amplify and add to these views, but they Will serve to show the basis of my judgment. ‘As there {+ bo way of punishing a party indicted and convicted under the second section, according to my understanding, it is idle to indict, for the proceeding can never end mn punieh- ment. itis 7 Punishment the Legisiature intendet to supprest gambling. It could not be done in any other way. I therefore consider thie section to be utterly void TL—Undoer the law of 1855, the offence charged being Mmigcemeanor belongs to the jurisdiction of the Special Sepsions, unless the right of this Court is acquired as pointed out in section 6 of that jaw. lil. —The statate in question, as amended by the law o 1866, is null. Tt says—“If any person ehall seli or vond what are commonly known as or are called lottery poli- cies.” The law does nat define what a lottery policy is It ie not too much to say that in creating punishment for a crime whieh the Legislature originates, the crime chould be defined by the Legislature, Hore no de- Qnition is given. Suppose the eame uncertainty as to murder, manslaughter, Ourglary, arson, roo. bery, larceny, &e., that whoever shall commit the crite commonly known as burgiary, or any one of these, contd such a law be administered? “It might as to them, though, because they bad a common law sense or defini toa, The great prinerple that the Legislatars aball make the law js stated, and insisted upon by the Court of Ap- hs (in Barto ve.

HORRIBLE DESTRUCTION OF HUMAN LIFE—THE PACI- FIC HOTEL IN RUINS—TWANTY-NINE PERSONS KILLED—SIX SERIOUSLY INJURED, AND BETWEEN FORTY AND FIFTY PERSONS MISSING. ‘We published in yesterday's Henan a telegraphic des- patch from St. Louis giving au account of a most disas- trous fire which occurred in that city at three o’clock on Saturday morning last, and which was attended with fearful logs of life. It appears that the fire originated in a drug store under the hotel, and that such was the rapidity of its progress that the whole building was in flames be- fore the sleeping inmates could be roused. A terrible scene of excitement and confusion followed tho discovery of the fire, and as all means of egress by the stairs were cut off by the flames, the terrified inmates crowaed to the windows imploring the assistance of tho spectators in the street. It is needless to say that every effort was made to rescue them, but they appear to havo boen attended with very poor suc- cess. Many of those who were in the upper stories at- tempted to save themselves by leaping into the street, but several were killed and others were horribly mangled. Some, unable to reach the windows, were smothered op burned to death in their own rooms. When the fire was extinguished the firemen, assisted by & large force of citizens, commenced clearing away the Tuins, as the bodies of forty or fifty persons who are mias- ing were supposed to be lying beneath them. Nearly one hundred persons were im the hote! at the time the fire broke out, of whom about twenty nine were burned to death or killea by jumping into the street; six or seven were seriously ipjared, and the remaiuder are said to be missing. It is to be hoped that these, or a large portion of them, bave succeeded in making their escape and have ‘Dot yet reported. tnewisehwes.

CITY WHEN THE WEATHER MODMRATSO—DSOCRIP TION OF THE ROUTE FROM FORT BRIDGER. ‘The Hxmatp of yesterday contained a telegraphic des- patch from St. Louis, stating that the Salt Lake mail had ar- rived at Independence on the 16th inst., and that ecoording to the report of conauctor Denver the saew in the moun- tains was from one to six feet deep. Tho weather he also stated was intensely cold. Mr. Denver set out from Camp Scott, near Fort Bridger, on the Ist of January. The troops, he says, were !m- patient for the commencement of hostilities, and were eager to be led against Salt Lake City. They were, as may be supposed from this, in good health and spirite. The latest published dospatch from Col. Johnston was dated the 14th of December, and a messenger was des- patched from the camp on the 15th or 18th of the same month, As 8000 as the weather moderated Col, Johuston intend- ed getting out for the city of the Mormons, with the troops under his command.

They are also very strict im the entorce- ment of their municipal regulations. The mails outward bound were progressing very well, and the Indians who had been met on the route were dis- posed to be friendly. Governor Cumming wads engaged in the performance of his official duties, or that portion of them which he was able to perform. ‘The road, or line of march from Fort Bridger to Salt Lake City, and over which the United States troops have to pass before thoy roach the capital of the Saints, pos: seases £0 much interest at this special time, as to entille it to a description. The distance between the two points is one hundred and thirteen miles. As Col. Johnston intends taking up his march when the weather moderates, the ground will be sott and miry from the molting of the snow and the earlp spring rains. From Fort Bridger to Bear river the distance is about fifty miles, the road generally running through an open country, where little or no oppo sition can be made by an enemy, There are some very steep hills to descend amd ascend, particularly the Shaking Aspen Hill, the dividing ridge between the wa- ters of the Gulf of California aad the Great Salt Lake Basin, which has a greater elevation than the South Pass, At Bear river the ditticulties of the march will commence. ‘This river at that season of the year will be swollen from bank to bank, and can only be crossed by boats or by being bridged. As the current is very rapid and timber scarce, it will be difficult to throw a bridge across, and boats will have to be built, as those now there no doubt, be destroyed by the Mormons. cannot oppose the passage, as the opposite bank can be swept by our field batteries from this side. The rivor, where tho road will The Mormons, if 80 disposed, crosses it, is about 75 yards wide. Beyond the river the road costinues to run through an open but brokem coun- try for about ton miles further, where it strikes the head of Echo Canon. From this point to Salt Lake City, a dis- tance of some 50 miles, the road runs through a contin- ‘uous series of canons and over two mountaina, and along this part of the road will come the tug of war. Echo Canon is 20 miles in jength, and descends gradually until it opens on Weber river. This canon—ana the same can be said of all the others through which the ‘toad runs—is nothing more than a deep ravine, with sloping sides covered with verdure to their summits. The great difficulty will be to get the wagons ovor the road; for no doubt it will be cut up and filled Tho ravines are narrow and can easily be obstructed, which obstructions will have to be removed, as there is no other place for the road to rum.

After descending the Little Mouptala you strike imto Emigration Canon, which comes out in Salt Lake valley, just in rear of Sait Lake City. dase of the mountains, and about four miles in width. Crossing this table land, which ts about two hundred fect above the level of the valley, you find the city strotched out at your fect. Its position is very badly chosen ina military point of view, for it is completely commanded by the table land in the roar, but wel) selected in other ro. wpects; for it ia #o situated that one of the mountaio streams throws its waters through every street, which enables the inhabitants to irrigate their gardems—the oniy process by which the land of that region can be cultivat- ed.

TROUBLE BRTWREN TWO FAMILIRS—ANREST AND 8UB- SEQUENT RELEASE OF TWO OF THE PARTIFS, BTC. The usual quiet of the village of Astoria was disturbed by a scene on Thursday afternoon. Mr. and Miss Coop, who reside a short distance from the village, were ob- served passing through it in the direction of the house of Mr. Samuel Wells, who until lately was known to be on intimate terms with Mr. Coop and his family.

If hie statements are true, and the facts known to every one in Havana, not even excepting the Captain General, the Royal Audience of Cuba requires some looking after by oneral Concha or Queen Isabella. We give the concluding para- graph of the communicat'on in the writer's own words :—~ And with all this, which is public and notorious, we ask —and with os ail the people of the ill governed Island of Caba—should we consent to these things and contemplate with indifference that the government of the mother coun- try confides the administration of justice to such men? * *” We answer, no—a thousand times no.
