In the Supreme Court, circuit, before Judge Baleom, yesterday, the case of Christian S. Delavan vs. Nicholas Quackenboss occupied the entire day. The action ts for slander, the plaintiff alleging that the defendant wrote a letter to a mutual friend named Hugh Maxwell, Jr., in which the plaintiff was characterized as an ‘ upscrupu- lous monster” and a “ modern Shylock, from association with whom nothing but pollution would follow.” ‘The defence set up was thas Delavan was a usurer, and that ‘he charges contained ib the letter were substantially ‘The Court ordered the jury to bring ina sealed ver~\> at ten o’clock this morning. ‘The case of Calvin W.

The plaintiff sues to recover ten thousand dollars, the valne of certain pro- porty alleged to have been improperly converted by the defendants to their own use. The defendants set up that the property, which consisted chiefly of household fur- niture, belonged to the plaintiffs wife, who is the daugb- ter of the defendants, and that they merely assist«d her in taking away what rightfully belonged to her. The case will be resumed at ten o'clock this morning. Judge Cardozo, of the Court of Common Wear, was yes terday eogaged in trying the cnse of Mordecai’ Levy ve. Alexander Levy and otbere. The action grows outofa partnership difficulty, and involves twenty-tnree shares of the St. Louis Fire Insurance Company, and $1,500 in cash, which the plaintiffelatms as bis share of the assets after the affairs of the firm had been wound up.

The Judge ennounced that he wonld render a decision in a few days. William Ejlverstee! and Sigismund Prague were yester. day under examination before Commissioner Osborn, charged with attempting to entice Lafayette Vestal, of Company A, Tenth United States Jnfautry, to desert. The accused, it is alleged, told Vestal that if be would go to Boston and reealist they would give bim $250 and a suit Of citizen's clothes. On Vestal’s evidence the accused were committed for trial. In the United States Cirenit Court yesterday the two fermen convicted some days ago of the manslaughter of Charles Courlette, mate of the ship Lone Star, were sen- teneed by Judge Shipman. Fdwards declared his inno- cence of the crime, and his fellow prisoner, Serrensen, corroborated his statement, which the former submitted in writing to the Court, Judge Shipman intimated that while Edwards might not have struck the mate a blow be s willing to let events take their course, without warn ing him. Serrensen was sentenced to imprigonment with hard labor for two years, Edwards to imprisonment for one yearand six months. The latter is a native of Wales. Serrenson is a Dane.

The rep ublican journals have one more ad- vance against Richmond under consideration; but they are very un certain what to ay about it. They hardly know whether to urge or to oppose the advance of Grant against that city. They are in an awkward dilemma; but their trouble is not so much over the city that is to be taken as over the man who is to take it. If Grant should advance and fail, they under- stand that such a failure would well nigh ruio the country, and, of course, the republican party; while, if Grant should succeed, they un- derstand quite as clearly that such a success would be at least equally disastrous to the political sharpers and intriguers who manage that party, and whose interests the journals in question particularly look after. Seeing doubt and danger on every hand, they tonch the sub- ject cautiously—as the Tribune did yesterday— and seem to utter the “Me miserable, which way shall I fly?” of Milton’s infernal and broken: spirited hero. But our armies are now in the hands of a man whose actions will, we may suppose, be entire- ly irrespective of what course these journals may eventually take'on thig question; and the Secretary of War, we are informed and believe, will, for the first time in his life, hovestly and earnestly doall that isin hig power to carry out the plans of the commander of our armies. With General Grant at the head of affairs, and with the Secretary of War determined to sup- port him to the utmost, we believe that the campaign upon which we are about to enter will be the most remarkable of the war. Gene- ral Grant in the West practised with glorious success the strategy of concentration, and he will not be likely to do otherwise now. By that strategy he took in prisoners from the rebels ont West more men than they had in the armies with which they drove Pope to Washington, more men than were in the army that beat Hooker at Chancellorsville, and more men than the rebelshad at Gettysburg. Lin- coln had alittle army at Baltimore, a little army on the Eastern sbore in Maryland, and a little army at Harper’s Ferry; he had an army at Washington, another at Front Royal, another at Fredericksburg, and another en the Penin-, sula, in front of Richmond; he had a little army at Fortress Monroe, a little army at Nor- folk, a little army at Newbern, in North Caro- lina, and a little army at Port Royal. in South Carolina, and, with his little armies thus scattered over the whole face of the country, he was beaten everywhere. Grant, with one army in the West, by keeping that one army together, went on from victory to victory. His operations against Vicksburg illustrate his whole career. Johnston, Pemberton and Gardner had between them an army equal to that under Grant. Concentrated, they could have fought him on equal terms; but his army was a unit, while the rebel forces were scattered at Vicks- burg, Jackson and Port Hudson. And, though Johnston saw how necessary it was to con- centrate, Grant was always in the way. He kept his own men together; he kept those of the enemy apart; and in that way he won the series of battles that led him up to Vicksburg, and finally captured that city. ‘We need not characterize further the distine- tion between the strategy of Lincoln and that of Grant. There is every reason to hope that the plans of the soldier are to prevail in the campaigns of this summer, and if they are fol- lowed we cannot doubt that our efforts will be crowned with success. Let the politicians of the government relinquish for a little their in- trigues, and the trickery of nominating con- ventions, and attend to their proper business; let the Tribune and kindred prints lay aside for a time their hatred of McClellan, and their beastly doctrine of miscegenation, and sup- port Grant earnestly; let the whole people rally.on this one point, and the rebellion must be crushed in the next campaign. Tue IverFicrency of THE Navy Depart. went Comixa Oct my ANoTuER PHasr.—We have had repeated evidences of the inefficiency of the Navy Department; but now other testi- mony to the same effect is coming out ina court martial going on in Washington, in which Admiral Wilkes is presented as the delinquent. The testimony, when sifted, shows that Admiral Wilkes only suffered in tho shortcomings of which he is accused in consequence of the utter imbecility of the Navy Department, and the snpreme.want of intelligence on the part of the Department in regard to matters of which it should then have been informed more com- pletely. Wilkes was running a squadron com- posed of two or three vessels, when he required twelve to accomplish twe purposes—one of which was to look out for blockaders on the rebel coast, and the other to capture rebel cruisers, the most prominent of which at the time wasthe Alabama. Admi- tal Wilkes demanded more vessela-of-war. The Department declined to furnish them. Wilkes detained those he thought would be of service to him, and among them was the Vanderbilt. Hence this court martial. Admiral Wilkes did something while in command of the San Jacinto which was notexactly in accord- ance with the law and the gospel of the Department. He seized the rebel ministers, Mason and Slidell, while fleeing from this country to a foreign one on board a British man-of-war. For this service he was publicly entertained and exalted in Faneuil Halli, Bos- ton, and subsequently was raised in grade in the service. What will be done with Admiral Wilkes now? He bas done all he could, and tried to do a little more, as a naval officer of the United States. Uncle Sam remembers his devoted servants, whether in his army of bis navy service. Gewerats McCientan axp Fremont.—The fdea prevails to some extent that there is, an- der General Grant, a prospect of an early ree- toration of General McClellan and General Fremont to active service in the field. We fear, on the contrary, whatever may be the views of General Grant in regard to McClellan or Fre- mont, that President Lincoln and his board of politieal advisers at Washington have made up their minds to keep these two officers in the background. We fear that Honest Old Abe lacks both the magnanimity and tho sagacity to give either Fromont or McClellan a chance to gain any now laurels. Each has a position among the people which is distrusted and feared at Washington, and neither, therefore, has anything to hope from Old Abe. Rams rae Grape or Forstow Monsters.— Advices from Washington inform us that an effort is being made there to elevate the grade end pecuniary compensation of certain of gut foreign ambassadors and consuls. H. 8. San- ford, Minister to the Court of Brussels under two dynesties—Buchanan’s and Lincoln’s—is ective in this movement. Sanford is great in smali things, Now, would it not be ag well, if Congress is considering the propriety of raising the grade and the pecuniary compensation of these’embassies by a general law, to make at the same time an effort to raise the grade of ability necessary to fill them with profit and honor to the republiot The next news we bave from Washington, we trust, will inform us of a step in this wise and important direction. Tus Lars Reset Ram mto Papvoas, Kr.— ‘The late raid of the rebel cavalry, under For- rest, into Paducah, Kentucky, suggests two in- quiries. First, how did he get there’ Second- ly, what were the objects of this foolhardy ex- pedition? In answer to the first question, we presume that the Union cavalry generals, Smith and Grierson, after their late repulse from Mississippi, fell back to Memphis, under the impression that Forrest was so badly crip- pled as to be unable to take any advantage of their retreat. Forrest, however, thus finding the country left open between him and the Ohio.river, appears to bave pushed’ through a Gistance of some one hundred and fifty or sixty miles from the Mississippi border. His objects -were retaliation, spoils and plunder, and a.sen- #ation in Kentucky in favor of the rebel cause. He doubtless expected to make an easy prize of Paducah (an important military position, at the mouth of the Tennessee river), and to cap- ture there immense quantities of ammunition, clothing, provisions and medical stores. ‘He appears, however, to have overlooked in his estimates the possible appearance on the scene of those ugly customers keown as gunboats, and accordingly he was severely punished for his folly. The question next recurs, will he .bé“permit- ted to make good his escape back to Mississip- pi? We must leave the anawer to General Grant, our new General-in-Chief; to General Sherman, our new commander in all that great department between the Ohio river and the Gulf, and to Gencrals Smith and Grierson, who, | with their cavalry forces, have now a fine op- portunity to turn the tables on their daring ad- versary. This Paducah affair, like all the other preliminary developments of the new campaign, shows that at every point, from Florida to Vir- ginia, and thence westward to the Mississippi, the rebels, active and vigilant, are ready to fight, fall back or advance, as the occasion may require or invite, and that, instead of abando: ; Virginia, they still meditate the recapture of Tennessee and Kentucky. Possi- bly this Paducah raid may have been intended to cover a more formidable expedition across the eastern end or centre of Kentucky from Longstreet’s army im East Tennessee, In any event, while looking after these petty rebel forays, we guess that Genoral Grant will not be diverted by them from his main designs, East or West. More Misceoxnation.—On Sunday last we had a second performance of the miscegenation farce, which may turn out a- tragedy by and by. TheReverend and Honorable John Jay made the speech, instead of Charles King, “the Pink of good society;” but the address and the ladies who signed the address were the same. sand thore strapping negroes then de- pa for the seat of war, whence they will return heroes and become husbands.

But why don’t Greeley ahuse Butler for interfering with the tongues of the Norfolk women, the prayers of the Norfolk parsons and the circulation of newspapers. in his department? That is the question. Obsequics of Owen Lovejoy. FUNERAL GEKVICES AND ORATIONS IN BROOKLYN— MESSRS. BEFCLER AND CHSEVER THE CHIRP CKLK- BRANTS, ETC. “ The remains of the late Hon.

The play. is founded upon an. old Italian story—one of those dreadfully painful stories—of passion and fatality that the cruel [talians of the Middle Aces revelied in, Originally it might have been the iflostra- tion to some old friar’s sermon on revenge. It told how @ man was wronged—how he plotted, achemed, labored and watched night and day to heap ruin and misery on those who had wronged him—and how at last the real ruin aod misery that bis plots and schemes caused fell upon the only being that he loved, and fnaliy bow bo wascrusbed by her.death and disgrace down to the earth and into it.

He bas given us esscntially the game story, left us nearly oli the painful circumstances, acd lost the point, Cockaigne hasn't the béart for tracedy, and its favorite author couldn't kill a beroine, Virtue is ite own reward, rather than revenge its own punishment. Innocence is 6. ared; tho Jester's daughter only faints, and don't die; the wicked Duke does die, ard don’t co ont to new intrigues, and the fool is made to roplaco the instruction of the old story, with a bald and paltry text. We are not bloodthirsty, and don’t particularly want to kill any one; but we bale to see an old xtory—grand in its way, and consistent in tts cruel- ty—made to take such acrcknoy twist as this Webad ‘a8 lief see Lear revive at his last gasp, and made todance sg hornptpe under the influence of yalvapic battery. But Mr. Booth has made the part of the Jester in this lay another of those grand dramatic studies which just ecatitic him to rank as tho greatest actor of his time. ‘RB minnte attention to all the propricties of the part as ho dispiays in every ecene, and such a terrific intensi- ty of dramatic power as be arose to in the third act, have not been seen before by the present generation. Miss Fytinge, who mide a first appearance fn the part of the Jester ter, is a young lady of rare personal attractions and unquestionable promise as an actress. WINTER GARDEN. Madame Scheller Methus made ber debut upon the Eng- lish stage Inst evening In a “new pastoral, musical drama''—as the bills termed it—ealled Lorlie’s Wedding. To sum up both the actress and the play in a single line, we may state that Madame Methua was very good, and the pastoral, musical drama was very bad. Madame Methua ta by no means a novice in the art the. atrical. On the contrary, she has acted for come time, and with a0 inconsiderable success, upon the German stage. Receotiy she hes acquired the English lavguage for the purpese of Ginding--new worlds to conquer. Her German accent is quite perce;tible, but pot uopleasantly. ao. Her voice 18 very sweot, but not very strong. Sho siogs admirably and artistically. She has a protty face—blonde—and @ good presence. On the whole—in appearance, manner, voice and style of scting—she is what the ladies call “sweet,” and what boarding achool girls and Englishmen call ‘sweetly pretty.’’ Wo kaow of no phrases which will describe ber better, As wo have said beforo, the play was very bad. Jt is @ translation from the German of Madame Birch-Pfeiter, patebworked with another translation from samobody else. Stupid is te® mi'd a word to uso in erlii¢ ‘The audience were so bored by it that towards ft) they amused themselves by indmlging in traniea! and laughter, The actors also extemnorized a 5 in the vain bope of giving point to what was ifreparadiy dull Ibe = acting the . stock — company was nearly as bad as the play. bes, Chayfran— who {s always capita!—and Mr. Davenport—who is generally sare of a iaugh—did sll they could for their parts; but Mr. Hagan and Mr. Morris and Mra; Floyd ond tho rest of the troupe were really not worth ment.oning in this piece, although they all acted excetlentiy in the Ticket of-Leave Man. Of course nothing was done for the play i the way of pew scenery or costumes, When wo Add that, in spite of all this, Madame .Mothua made a very favorable impression, nnd was called before the cur. taln at the close of each of the tedious acts, we think that her taient must be admitted. In another drama ete may justify warmer praises. PHOTOGRAPHIANA. Mrs H. Watkins, ber sister, Miss Sbaw, and Mr. A. ‘Watkins give a curious and amusing entertainment every evening at Niblo's Saloon. Tt is called Photographtina, and consists of many different characters—all played by Mr. and Mrg, Watkins—with plenty of gongs, dances and comicalities.
