H. Elliott, a very Indylike matron, examined by Mr. Barlow.—Knew Mrs. Brinsmade since she was a child; first learned that she was a prisoner the day previous to my visit to Mr Kennedy; I pon him and asked for ission to see the also the cause of her she is arrested a6 & “| have had a watch upon her he Moment she set afoot in the city; my pres- ence has overshadowed her since she arrived; when she was in Brooklyn I was there; and at the Everett House, I was there; when she went to Washington my pros- ence followed her there, and when { got her in the right Thad her arrested; 1 askea him who was accuser, who had her arrested, and what sbe was ac- cused off He said “I am, madam; am her accuser,” when I asked to see her, he said I could not see her; I asked him then what he was going to do with her? He replied that was with the War department; be told me aiso that it was in the Forty-seventh street station house she was confined; I explained to him the in- terest I had in her: he said again that she wasa gencral spy and should be hung; I replied that she was the last person to be entrusted with anything of that sort; that she was a young, giddy person and not fitted to be a sp; he said that was the very sort of a person tobe a spy that one like her had been arrested in Washington for making a wagon of herself in carrying quinine to the rebels: he said, also, that her husband was a rebel offi- cer; that he bad lost an arm, but that that had not dampened his ardor. Q. What was the general tone and manner of the Supermtendent in answer A Well, I thought be was madam," ima very abrupt manner; he was only uncivil to me in addressing me in that manner: Ithen wen to Mr. Draper: I did not see him the first day, but on the second he informed me that he ha: written to Washington to heve the matter inves- tigated: that he did not know anything about the matter himse’f: when Mrs. Brinsmade was discharged 1 took her to my house, where she still remains, and will remain till she goes nome. The cross-examination was unimportant By Commissioner Bowen—In the interview with the Superintendent was any allusion made to the War Depart- ment? A. [don't recoltect. Q. Or to the Police Depart. ment? A. 1 don’t recollect more thin I have said; of course I supposed he alinded to the Police Department, because she was in the hands of the Police Department; he might have referred to the War Department or the Police Department; all he said was that it remained with the department. Q. Was there anything offensive { Kennedy's demeanor? was he rude in language? A. No, sir: he was only rude in gesture; J did uot suvpose he meant anything rude to me. Did he insuit y A. No, sir; [did not consider myself insulted, | was very much frightened, because I never was in sueh a place before. (1aughter.) Q. Then there was nothing on his part which you could take exception to? A. Nes Reynolds,cab driver, testified to driven the officers and Mrs. Brinsmade in his cab, first to the headquarters in Broome streot, and thence to the Forty-seventh street station house; while waiting in Broome street the lady gave him a mes sage to her friends, which he delivered. Some evidence was taken to preve the length of time Mrs. Brinsmade was confined—some thirty or forty days. ‘This closed the examination of witnesses for the day. Mr. Barlow and Mr. Dean coincided in opinion that everything in connection with the case should be spread upon the record. Commissioner Bowen said this declaration on the part of counsel wae gratuitous. The allegation was, no doubt, féunded that the rights of a citizen had been invaded by a Police officer. The Board ol fice were grateful to Mr. Barlow for bringing tbe charge betore the public, so that, if true, it might receive their serious consideration, and if false to Mr. Kennedy, that it might be shown to be false. Imany point of view the Board felt grateful; for they are determined not to permit the i ngs of citizen, however humble, to be invaded by the police au- thorities. It was important to have the testimony of Mr. Draper in this case, and the case had therefore to be ad- journed titl Monday, at eleven o'clock. Counsel agreeing, the Court adjouryed til! Monday next. SHOCKING CASE OF ABORTION. A Young Lady Spit itea Away for Four ‘Weeks and then Sent Home in a Dyin: Condition—Arrest of the Alleged Abor- tionist and His Housekeeper—Coroner’s Inquest—Interesting Developments. A shocking case of abduction and abortion, involving the death of a young lady residing at No. 370 Bleecker street, named Clemintina Anderson, c7me to light yester- day. The particulaes of the affair, as deyeloped on the inquest before Coroner Ranney, appear to be a’ follows:— On the 25th ultimo, Miss Anderson, a young lady of re- finement and cducation, left her father’s house without any clue being afforded to her destinatien. Her de- parture was se mysterious that all efforts to find her whereabouts proved unavailing, and the family were plunged into the deepest grief in consequence. The Police were duly notified of the disappearance; but after several days of fruitless search they were compelled to give up the case in despair. No clue, however slight, could be obtained to her whereabouts until Wednesday evening, about eight o’clock, when a carriage, containing two women anda man, drove up in front ef Mr. Ander- son's house. One of the women, a pale, emaciated crea ture, staggered into the house, and was recognized by Mr. Anderson as his long lost daughter. The poor creature was in a fainting condition, and so weak that she was un- able to converse even with her parent. A physician was sent for to attend to the girl’s wants, and in a few mo, ments Dr. Tucker arrived; but before he entered the house the erring girl breathed her last. She had evident. ly been brought there in a dying condition, and barely had time to gaze upon the face of her loving father before death snatched her away. The woman who accompanied deceased, on being asked for an explanation regarding the affair; stated that she was the housekeeper of Dr. Browne, No. 82 Eighth avenue,and that deceased had been stopping there for the last two weeks for medi cab treatment. Upon being questioned further, the wo: n said that she understood Miss Anderson bad been to Newburg, and, being attacked with pleurisy, was brought to Dr. Browne's for treatment. From the history of the case, and the peculiar appearance of deceased, Dr. Tucker concluded that an abortion had Geen precured, and at to your inquiries? rather stern; he said once sent for Captain Sebring and Coroner Ravney. The housekeeper, who gave her name as Liz- vie Gordon, was detained until ihe + arrival of the police; but the backman managed 10 effect his escape. “Upon the arrival of the Coroner and the police it was determined to make a descent upon Dr. Browne's establishment, for the purpose of arresting the guilty party, as well as securing such evidence as might be fonnd there, The doctor's arrest was effected with ease, and in the search of the premises which followed the police were successfal beyond their most sanguine hopes. A large number of surgical instruments, many of them of the most villanous character, were found in the dector’s studio. A batch of letters and a memoran dum peck—the contents of which are more conclusive even than the instruments—were also discovered ana feized upon by the officers. Dr. Browne, to. gether with his housekeeper, were lodged in the Ninth ward station house over night, and jocked up in separate cells, so as to be unable to con- verse with each other until afler their examination by the Coroner. CORONER'S INQUEST. | | i} } Coroner Ranney commenced the investigation of the case at an early hour yesterday morning ntil two o'clock in the afternoon that bring the matter before @ jury, In the interim a post mortem examination of the body was mede by Dr. Thos. C.

Adjourned until two o’clock this afternoon. Mr. James Anderson, the father of deceased, is the sex- ton of the Central Methofist church, in Seventh avenue, near Fourteenth street, and is a man highly respected by all who know him.» The death of his daughter, under instances, has proved a shocking blow, nearly dethroning his reason. Within the lost three months he hus lost three members of his family. One of his sons was killed before Richmond, and the firet knowledge the father had of his death was the arrival home of his remains. This affliction, coming upon them #0 suddenly, threw Mrs. Anderson into a fever, from the effects of which she died in afew days afterwards; and now, to complete the sum of his misery, his much beloved daughter falls a victim to the villanous practices of an abortionist, The name of the vile seducer is not yet made public. womb; blood Action for Assault and Battery Against the Ex- Surveyor of the Port. SUPREME COURT CIRCUIT—VaRrT 2, Before Hon. Judge Potter and a Jury. Nov. 19.—Stephen D. Dillaye ve, Emanwt B. Hart— This was an action for aseault and battery alleged to have been committed by the defendant, who was then Surveyor of the Port of New York, upon the plaintiff, on the 28th of July, 1858.

M. The trade tables of the port of New York for the month of October were closed at the Custom House to-day, and we present the following com- parative statements:— ‘Total importa. $16,707,049 8,623,741 23,418,006 ‘Withd’n from wareh’ 8,018, 2,618,080 3,100,388 u Sangre LOTR 010 4.00410 woman eat eet 2,100,808 15,088 6.07510 Total exports $12,662,653 13,172,462 26,797, Total, excl. of specie.. 10,556,268 18,157,414 ao ooeait The feature of this statement is the general ro- 4 vis the heaviest of the year, notwithstanding the covery of trade as compared with October, 1861, and October, 1860, and especially the increase of our export trade. The aggregate export of last October was over twenty-six millions of dollars—s figure entirely unprecedented in our commercial records, and fully double the export of October, 1861, and October, 1860. This unusually large ex. port is the more remarkable as we were unable last October to ship any quantity of the great sta ples—cotton and tobacco. The exports of October exceeded the imports by some $3,300,000. This result was achieved by a shipment of $6,707,519 of gold and silvery-rather a large amount to be sent abroad at this season, and the heaviest export of the year, with the exception of that of June and July. The imports show @ steady increase. The aggregate for October predictions of the dry goods dealers that our im- portations would fall off, There are indications that they may ‘all off now, as the fluctuations im gold and exchan ¢ render it very unsafe to predi- cate operations on existing quotations; but even of this there is no certainty. Our people are con- suming as much as ever, notwithstanding the war ‘and the high prices; and so long as the public will buy importers will furnish them with the goods. We are now so near the end of the year that we may speculate with some degree of accuracy upon its commercial results. It will probably be found next January that the importations of foreign goods at the port of New York during’ the calendar year 1862 exceeded two hundred millions of dollars—an enormous amount for @ country to buy of the foreign world pending se terrible a war as the one in which we are engaged. It will probably likewise appear that our exports of produce and specie during the like petiod amounted to not less than two hundred and fifteen to two hundred and twenty millions of dollars—a figure entirely without parallel in our history. If, as is expected, our armies in the Southwest suo- ceed in liberating several hundred thousand bales of cotton this winter, our exports of produce will be proportionately increased, as much of the sta? ple will come here for shipment. The year’s trade would have shown: a clear balance of fifteen to twenty millions in our favor" had it not been for the return of American stocks from Europe for sale here.

Parties who want legal tender notes to send to Memphis for the purchase of cotton, and to other parte of the West, experience the greatest difficulty in fing- ing them. The banks have none, and the brokers are charging a small premium for those which they can scrape together. Exchange continues dull and depressed. Bankers ask 1444 a 145; but we hear of no sales above 144% a%. Gold opened this morning at about 130%, sold at 13034, and closed at 13034. People in Wall street are selling gold, on sellers’ option, with great vigor. The stock market was very dull this morning. At the morning board the prices of last evening were barely sustained, and at the close of the first board Erie fell off %, guaranteed %, Illinois {, Toledo %, and other stocks in proportion. Govern- ments were very firm at yesterday's prices. The exception to the market was Harlem pre- ferred, which advanced two per cent on the grant for the city railroad through Madison ave- nue. Bonds were steady. There was a pretty large business done in Chicago and Northwesterns, which are impraving on the traffic of the line, and the probable increase of business growing out of the Green Bay extension.
