City Intelligence, A New Srrmixc anv Stemrmva Rarnoap Can.—A new | railroad car has been invented by Nathan Thompson, | of Brooklyn, the model of which is on exhibition at the St. Nicholas Hotel in this city, Its inventor claims for it, among other things, easy access to and from the car and toany particular seat, unconstrained position while sit- ting, good ventilation with protection from drafts, safe oi Pit depository for artic independent berth for children, a ready method of trans. pg the whole or any portion into a sleeping apart. ¢ nearest practicable approach to the privacy of the stateroom and space for exercise, the passenger's re- moved from sup, soot and sparks, and greater stability and strength of the car, owing tothe internal arrange. ments and the dispesition of the weight. If only halt these acvantages can be realized and are practicable, the invention well deserves the patronage of the railroad in- | terest. Fxn ve Fire on Srarey Istanp—Supposep INcenpi- anus —The barn and outbuildings of Isaac K. Jessup, situated in Westfeld, one mile from Rossville, Staten Island, was, as is supposed, set on fire at 7 o'clock on s evening, the 22d instant, and all burned to the ground, with their contents. 425 bates of hay were ready for market, 200 bushels of wheat, 260 bashels of oats, three very five mules, and a lot o€ cattle were also buioed. “The wind Being west, saved tho dwelling. | Mr. Jessup’s loss ‘imated at $10,000, and he held an insurance of $4,000 on the buildings and crop from the | Richmond Mutual Insurance Company. There is little | doubt but that the fire was brought about by an incendi ,88 a box of lucifer matches’ was found in the rear of the house in which it originated, and the ruins of that buildiug appeared to some persous as if it had been fired in two Separate places. ‘Tue Free Devarvaeyt Baxt.—The thirteeuth annual ball of the New York Fire Department camo off last night, at the Academy of Mic. The aflair was very grand in point of decorations, and the attendance was, as usual at sitallar annual festivals; large, and composed of the beauty and fashion of New York. Nearly fifteen inndred tickets were sold, b ig in. the handsome sum of 00, of Which about $3,000 will cover the expenses, leaving near- ly $5,000, which will be placed to the credit of the fund for the support of the widows and orphans of deceased firemen, Tun Weather.—Yesterday the weather was clear aud cold, but bright overhead and dry under foot. It was a | beautiful day for pedestrians, There were large quanti of floating ice in the North and East rivere, which sed the ferry boats to moye very slow, for fear of saving holes in their bulls. The slips were, as a genoral thing, b.ocked up with thick ice. Tomriuns Sqvanx.—Workmen are employed daily in ex cavating and laying the stone foundation columns for the ling round Tompkins square. The style of the railing, when completed, will be neat and artistical, without unnecessary ornamentation. It will cost, when compieted, the sum of $25,000. By the terms of the contract the work must be finished by the Ist of March, Proresson Mircnety’s Leerrag ox AsrRoNomy.—To-night Professor 0. M. Mitchell, the distinguished astronomer, will deliver his fourth lecture on astronomy at the Aca- demy of Music. The sabject will be “The Telescope, Depth of Its Penetrating Power, Its Capacity to Define an its Observation.” ‘The interest and instruction derived from the previous lectures of this distinguished man will, no doubt, on this occasion, fill the Academy to its utmost capacity. Tm Cry Hat Fine Terxorarn.—The recording instru- ments of the City Hall fire telegraph, which were removed on Thursday last by Superintendent Charles Robingon, their patentee, for non-payment by the city of a bill for compensation for their use, were replaced by that gentle- man on Saturday last. The matter was compromised by areference of the subject to a committee of the Common Couneil, who will report at an early day. Scorr Lie Gvarp.—To-night the Scott Life Guard give their fret military and civic soirée, at Niblo’s Saloon. ‘The members of this company are survivors of the New York Volunteers and others who served ia the army during the Mexican war. Generals Scott and Shields are among the invited guests, and are expected to houor the occasion by their presence. Ark Cry Ramroap Cars a Prnuic Coxventeyce?—It would seem by the little regard pald to the accom. modation of the public in our city railroad cars, that to look after the interest of the stockholders is the only duty assigned to the conductors. The practice of taking on every passenger, no matter how full the car may be, has so enlivened the mathematical faculty of some conductors, that not unfrequently eighty persous are stowed in a car designed to seat twenty-two; but this is not the worst feature. A gentleman must be agile and somewhat expert in gimnastics who travels by these conveyances, for it has become the custom not to stop the car, and consequently the inexpert are frequently left to brush the dirt from their cloths while the car passes on, unconscious of the mischief it has done. The time allowed for each trip is 80 short that the conductor is compelled to burry up, and he generally pulls the strap before the passenger has steped from the platform. Yes. terday we witnessed an act of this kind oa the Fourth ayeiMe road, opposite Astor place. An old lady wishing to leave the car, (No. 85,) it was stopped, and before she was off the step the bell was rung to go on, when the lady, was thrown violently to the ground, goiling her clothing ud endangering her life, as the momentum of the car hrew her body around, bringing her head within a few cet of the wheel of a passing carriage. Such recklessness n the part of conductors makes the exit from our cars very hazardous, and unless put a stop to by prompt ac- ion on the part of the superintendent of the road, will ro- ult in loss of life. Five Poists Hovss or Ispvsrry.—In an article in Sun- cay’s edition it was erroneously stated that during the past month this institution had furnished 5,500 meals to yoor people, at a cost of $137 60. This was a mistake. It Should bave read “ for the last week.” During the past month 20,738 meals have been furnished to the Five Points poor, ata cost ot about $445 13. New York Saytrany Assoctatiox.—A meeting of gentle- men engaged in this movement was held at the room of the association, in the Cooper Inctitute, last Saturday even- ing.

This aroused the ire of Miss Davis, who forthwith pitched into the slanderer, and before the by- standers could interfere, Miss Olemnentina’s eyes were mace to pay the peualty of her loquacity.

Yesterday he applied at the Lower Police Court for a war- rant against a pawnbroker whom he suspected of having ssed the valuable for a more nothing. Joseph Ro, leposed that he bought the pin from a boy for the sum of $80, and that be subsequently gold it to the pawn- broker for $60. The magistrate said he did not feel dig posed to grant a warrant until the boy who stole the pro- erty could be brought forward as a witness. The com- ainant stated that he was quite sanguine of being able to Arrest the thief, and in that way would fasten the crima of receiving stolen goods upon the pawnbroker.

DISPUTE BETWEEN CATHOLIC AND PROTESTANT RELA- TIVES AS TO THE CUSTODY OF TWO ORPHAN CiIL- DREN. A curious case is now before tho Surrogate of Kings county for adjudication, in the matter of applications to be appointed guardian of two obildren, whose parents are deceased. It appears that Jobn Lailin, the father of the two children, died in Brooklyn, ou the 17th of December last, having executed, on the 13th of that month, a paper sur- rendering the custody of his children to the Brooklyn In- dustrial School Astociation and Home for Destitute Chil dren, but making no will. Tho grandfather of the children made application for the custody and contro! of them, and to be appointed guardian, he being a Catholic. The uncle and aunt of the children oppose this application, and ask that the uncle be made guardian, thry being Protestants. It is alleged by cach side, that the other designs to make pro aclytes of the children and to bring them up ‘in the pe- cuiiar religious faith of the'r future custodian, ‘Annic Kimberly made affidavit that she was present, and saw John Lafin, the father of the children, sign a paper, which she identified, and that several times before (hat time she heard him say he wished to have the children taken and brought up by the Brooklyn Industrial School Association and Home for Destitute Children, and that he ‘was particularly desirous that they should be brought uy as Protestants, Tho following is a copy of the paper which she identified:— I, John Laffin, of the city of Brooklyn. father of Catherin» or Kale and Mary ‘Ann Josephine Laflin, do commit and surren der suid children to the care and management of the Brooklyn dustrial School Awsocistion and Home for Deetitute Caiidren, ‘ith the powers and suliject to the provisions contained 14 the act incorporating waid Association and Home, JuHN LARFIN (his }4 mark), Witness—Anniz Kiwsercy, Susan 0. Surtit, ‘The paper was endorsed as follows:— Catherine Latin, born Oct, 26, 1853, Mary Ann Josephine Ladin, born Oct. 17, 1865. And dated Dec. 17, 1838. ‘The Surrogate refused to admit the paper in evidence, as it was neither a Will nor a deed, and could not iuter” fere with his power to appoint a guardian. The he uncle and aunt proved the execution of the pap the frequent declaration of the deceased that he anted the children brought up in the Protestant faith, while on the other side it was proven that the father had agreed to give the children tothe custody of their grand- father, who bad supported him and his family to a great extent, and-who, being placed on the stand, expressed to the Court his entire willingness and ability to bring up the children properly, It was also shown that the father hat received at his death the Roman Catholic Holy Sacrament, with the understanding that be could pot receive it unless: be was willing to bring ae ‘the children in that faith, The two children are now in the custody of the society, and the evidence is all in, ‘rhe case will be summed up on the 26th instant, when the Surrogate will decide betweem the contesting applicants for guardianship. Supreme Court—Circult, Before Hon. Judge Davies RIVAL SCHOOL TRUST! JAN. 24.—The People and Hubbard G. Stone vs. William Menck.—This was an action of ouster, brought by the plaintiff, who claims that ho is entitled to tue ofilce of ‘Trustee of Common Schools in the Twentieth ward, of which the defendant overholds possession, It appears that both parties were school officers before the election of 1858 (which is now contested); there are twelve dis- tricts in the Twentieth ward, and the district canvassers made a return to the Board of City Canvassers, composed of the Board of Aldermen, that the vou received by Menck were 2,951, whilst Stone claims to have received 2,965—giving him a majority of four. The defendant contenied that he was entitled to the office, and that the city canvassers made public proclama- tion that he was duly elected. He a!so contended that the plaintiff had failed to prove that he had received the larg’ number of votes, and that it appeared by the returas ti the Third district that there was an alteration in the figures; the number for the plaintiff, Stono, was 260, which was altered to 273, in different ink and in a different hand writing. He therefore insisted that it was the duty of the plaintiff to account tor such alteration, and to show that it was honestly done. The Judge, in charging the jury, said that in the courso of bis experience he scarcely év: ew aby returns made without some alterations, and it is to be regretted that under our form of government we do not haye persons standing on the threshhold of the people's rights who are of entire verity and every way capable of making these election returns. Verdict for plaintiff. Counsel for defendant asked twenty days to make a case. The Judge would look into the question, but thought the plainuif entitled to his seat at once. Navat Inteliigence. Dr. Hudson, of the United States Navy, died at his resi- dence in Brooklyn on Sunday last. He was one of the surgeons on board the United States steam frigate Niagara when she returned with the captured slaves of the brig Echo to Africa, and the untiring exertions which he used in behalf of the poor Africans are supposed to haye Deen the ultimate cauge of his death. ‘The machinery of the United States frigate Niagara was taken out on Saturday last, and will recoive a thorough overhaaling before it is replaced, Liout.
