M. yesterday, the Board of Managers of the American Inetitute met at their rooms, 361 Broadway, te consider the expediency of continuing the exhfbition— Mr. Geiesenbainer in the chair. The minutes of the previ- (ene meeting having been read and adopted, the report of the ‘ special committee appointed by the Board to search for a Daiiting in which to continue the Fair, was made by Mr. Beating. ‘Wr, B. reported having seen the gentleman representing ‘Mr. Bruce, the proprietor of the new buildmgs corner o Canal and Elm streets, to whom they had been referred ‘by the Committee of the Exhibitors, and from him had Iearned that they could be obtained for the pur- pose required, for three months, at a rental o Merce thousand dollars. A portion of the same build iags, now occupied and which could be obtained by ne getiation for the same purpoee, and which would be ne @essary to perfect the others, would probably cost for th mame period $800 more. He had calculated that to pu everything in proper order fur an exhibition there would cost the society between $6,000 and $8,000 pow became a question worthy of serious conside Were Uwy prepared to take this responsibi’ whether this sum might not be better expende’ the unfortunate exhibitors.

They get them some how or other; one “protection” may do twenty men; we generally put up a notice on tho bulletin specitying Wie ship and Voyage; I think the bulletin of the Haidee had Gibraltar on it, I think the cook and steward were on the vessel when T came there; I had nothing to do with them except that they signed before me; I sbipped the mate and others; it was done entirely through me and my office and my’ runners.

Before his arrival a number of Wis friends had been apprised of his safety and made arrangements for his reception. He was met at the Troy boat by delegations from German singing societies in W.iltameburg to the number of about one hun- dred and Afty and escorted to his resklence. Some eigh- teen months since Mr. Eifert lost his wite, and determined to take his daughter Eliza, a child of five years of age, to Germany , for the purpese of baving her educated there, He accordingly left on the 28th of March last in a sailing vessel ‘or Bremen, On arriving there he made arrange- ments with his friends to leave his daughter, but she desiring to go back with him, he took her on with him to Hamburg, and after making some jurchases of wines and other goods, embarked on the Austria at Hamburg as @ steerage passenger on the Ist of September, All his goode were on the vessel, aud all that remained of his family was in his charge. On the 15th of September, about two o’ciock in the afterndon, the steerage passengers were informed that they would have to go upon deck, aa the steerage was to be fumigated with smoke. Eifert and his child, ae well as the rest of the stecrage passengers, weut on deck, and he stationed himself between the foreinast and the bowsprit. They had been here but afew moments when he heard the cry of fire, and in two minutes the flamcs spread all over the ship and rigging. ‘The motion of the ship through the water drove the flames aft, and Evfert and bis child, with other of the steerage pasrengers, crept furward w the heel of the bowsprit, and there remained, The child fell asieep iu Lis arms. A8 goon as the engines stopped working the ship changed her position, and then the flames were driven forward; then the storeroom took fire, and all who were op that part of the ship crept as far forward as pos sible. About this time the boat from the Maurice came within @ short distance, and the crew called ont to those ‘on the bow to jump into the water and swim for the boat. Many did so, but Eifert was unwilling to risk it, as be could not swim with his child, and to save her and himself by some other means. Soon after this the foot of tho bowsprit burned off, and those on it full with it. A man, woman and child had lashed themselves to the end of one of the ropes hanging from the bowsprit, and Eifert descended to the water by the same rope. In the fall of the bowsprit he lost his child, and soon after saw her floating past him in the water. The man, woman and child below him were dead, baving been drowned in the water. Upon their dead bodies Mr, Eifert sustained bim- telf from half-past seven unti} five o'clock the next morn- ing—all the time holding on by the rope, as well as were those above him. When the bowsprit fell there were about thirty or forty persons on it, some of whom were precipitated into the water, and others foll off one by one, until only eighteen remained. About five o'clock the boat from the Catarina came up, and took off three from the foremast, one from the stern, and eighteen from the bowsprit and the chains, to which they were clinging. ‘They were taken to Quabec, and thence forwarded by the Swedish Consul New York. Mr. Eifert states that he saw the captain but onee after the fire, and then he looked like a crazy man, and was about t jump overboard, but was prevented by one of the paseengers.

J., Oct. 7, 1808, Before Judge Ogden and Associate Judges Gandford, Ood- dington and Cleveland. The trial of Ethridge N. Fish, charged on an indictment of arson in wilfally and maliciously burning the barn and dwelling house of John Dunn, situate in the township of ‘West Milford, Passaic county, New Jersey, waa brought to @ close on last Thureday afternoon at Paterson, it having occupied the Court for seven days. The case wes one of considerable interest to the State, and the result bas given very general satisfaction, It appeared, by the evidence, that soon after the burning of the premises in question Fish absconded and took up his residence in New York. Warrants were soon issued by a Justice of the Peace for his arrest as @ fugitive, and subsequently arequieition was obtained from Gov. Newell, of New Jersey, on Gov. Kin ¢ for the surrender of Fish. The warraut of sarrender wad granted, but Fish becoming cognizant of the fact fled from ‘New York and egecreted himself in Brooklyn, where be re- mained until the 20th of June, when olficer Timothy @. Clark, of New York, discovered his whereabouts, and took him into custody, and on the same day conveyed him to the jail at Paterson, where be was detained some eight, or ten days and then liberated on bail. The evidence in this case, although principally circam- stantial, was so convincing in its character that no ong with au ordinary degree of smtelligence coald form any other hypothesis than that of the guilt of the prisoner. The counsel for the accused resorted to every artifice of whieh they were capable to prove to the jury the inno- cence of the defendant, aud occupied nearly five hours in summing up in his behalf. Mr. A. B. Woodruff, the learned District Attorney, summed up to the jury onthe part of the State. theory of the prosecution was clearly made out by the facta in the case, and the guilt of the prisoner estal beyond a reasonable doubt. The legal knowledge ami acute mind of the prosecuting attorney exposed the abit and subterfuges resorted to by counsel on the other sida to bolster up a gmilty man. Judge Ogden charged the jury ina clear and impartial manner, remarking that the case before them was ‘‘ouo of deep interest to the State.” The jury, after deliberat- ing about an hour, rendered a verdict of “Guilty.” Tho Sheriff then took Mr. Fish into custody to await the judg- ment of the Court From the commencement of this case Fire Marshal Ba- ker of this city Wok an active part in it. He vigited the townrhip where the five occurred, collected the facts, aud prepared the case for the prosecution. A model of tha premises was also made by Mr. Baker. It waa introduced into Court and aided the witnesses very much ia giving their tertimony to the jury. ‘The conviction of Fish is one of considerable importance to the insurance companies of New York as well as of New Jersey, Mr. Fish obtained by fraudulent representations $1,026 from the Astor Insurance Company of this eky on ‘a policy of insurance effected on the property destroyed by the fire. Semi-Centennial Celebration of the Cathalic College of Mount St. Mary's. FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER. Mourr Sr. Mary's Oouusam, Fhorrmnvns, October 6, 1858. ‘The fiftieth anntversary of Mount 8t. Mary's College, ab Emmitisburg, Maryland, the leading Catholic collegiate in- stitation of the country, was celebrated on Wednesday, the 6th inst., with great eclat. ‘Tho event is looked apon by all Catholic communities throughout tho Uaited Btates with extraordinary interest, as two of the archbishops and many of the bishops and clergy of the Uaion ptudenta, and some of them Presidents and professors of this ancient, institution. Arehbishop Hughes, of New York, completed his education here, and was ordained from the College, Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, highly distinguishod for his theological and literary powers, was also a student, and subsequently President of Mount St. Mary’s. Seven bishops, all etudenta of the College, participated in the celebration of Wednesday, namely, Archbishop Hughes, of New York; Bishops McCloskey, of Albany; Wood, of Philadelphia; Loughlin, of Brooklyn, Carrell, of Covington, THE TORKISH COUNTERFEIT MONEY, The Exomination before the Mayor—Mr. Harrison, the Printer, Honorably Di- charged—Description of the Money and its Valuc—The Plates and Piastres Deposited in the Shoe and Leather Bank for Safe Keeping, dic., de. An examination in the cage of the counterfeit Turkish money was held yesterday morning before the Mayor, at his office—Distriet Attorney Blunt, and D. Sedrayhen, of the Ottoman government, and J. Horeford Smith, the Turkish Consul, being present. Mr. Harrison was also in attendance, with several friends, The hearing commenced at ten o'clock, when Mr rigon was called, and stated the circumstance in which he became connected with the affair, Ho said that tho job was received at his offlco in the regular course of business, the woman being a perfoot stranger to him, and was made to pay in advance the required amount upon the work, They were, he stated, call the woman in question “labels,” and he had always poked them to be none other than such, There being Chinese characters upon them, he was led to suppose that they were to be used on gome article of commerce of kastern origin, and they were printed from the ordinary stercoty pe and electroty pe plates used by almostevery job printer. As for the wood engravings, he had them done at the establishment of J. W. Orr, and the plates were elec trotyped where he always bad such work done. No attempt, he said, was made to conceal them; tho job was donc openly in his office, and delivered according to agreement at tho Astor House. Mr. Smith, the Turkish Consul, expressed himself satis fied that Mr. Harrison was in no way connected with the operation other than in a mere business transaction. ‘The District Afforney and the Mayor, after a short con suitation, discharged Mr, Harrigon, deciding that there was no occasion to hold him, there being no evidence whatever to show that in printing the so-called labels he had any meang of knowing or suspecting their true character. Tn dismissing the matter, the Mayor remarked that jus- tice to Mr. Harrigon required the publication of the follow ing certificate, which he voluntarily offered to that gentle man—aleo endorsed by the District Attorney — Mayor's Orrice, New Youn, Ort. 8, 1858.

HARRISON, No. 52 Duane street The property consisted of thirty-eight plates of copper, twenty seals of the Minister of the Treasury, and unrty ‘“tooraha,” or signatures of the Bultan. They were ail carefully dope up and sealed with the Mayor's stamp, and placed in the Shoe and Leather Bank to await the action of the Turkish government. Mr. Sedrayhen de- clared the bills to bea perfect counterfeit, and stated that if they had successfully reached Constantinople they would not have been detected, as there was never knowa to have been any counterfeit paper money on the govern- ment banks in circulation. The “torah,” or seals, it is said are kept very sacred. Of such importance are they held that the ‘‘tworah,’’ or Sultan’s geal, is guarded night and day by three of the highest officials of the government. Had not the Custom House officer at Syra digcovered this woman with this spurious money the entire empire would have been flooded. There being no dates or writing thereon the varlous ports would have been, financially speaking, ruined. The fol- lowing is a description of one of the bills, translated by Mr. Oscanyon, a Turk residing in this city — an interested in the remarkable colebration was almost suf- ficient to fill it, The President, Br.

There was not the shadow of evidence to show that he possessed any knowledge of the real charac- ter of there notes; indeed, the evidence of his entire in necence in the matter was so circamstanual that no con could hesitate to feel that he printed the job, as Eowould any Ordinary work, without & inement sas- pecting anything wrong.
