James W.

F. Chapman, at that date sold te them for $42,500, and claimed, as their damages on account of the alleged representations, the sum of $15,000.

Elwell, one of the defendants, and Captain Chapman, the master of the ship, It appeared in evidence that the ship J. F. Chapman was built at Thomaston, Maine, in 1855; was of 1,035 tons register; was rated at the time of the sale by the American Lloyds at A134, and by the French to change the shape of the boundary on the easterly side of the city of New York and the west- erly side of Long Island opposite thereto, by cutting a new East river of the dimensions as hereiuatter described, through Long Island, {rom Hanter’s Point to Long Island Sound, to be completed by sections and not opened until @nished, after which the old channel may be closed and Aled up, thereby avoiding and doing away with Hell Gates, both larze and smail,and adding to the city of | Lloyds at 3, 3, A 1, 1; that she’ wae opened New York the width of the channels on cach side of | "4 examined on a special surve; the Ameri.

The plaintiffs’ nego- tiations as to the purchase were wholly with tho broker, except two of ten minutes each—one in February and one in March, 1865—with Mr. Elwell. At these inter- views they requested Mr, Elwell to guarantee the condi- tion of the sbip, and he refused, stating to them that he had never been on board of the sbip and only knew her condition from the certificates of the surveys which had been chown to the plaintiffs; that he himself owned only 4 small interest, and was the “ship's husband,” and did pot wish to sell, though he would not stand in the way of the Eastern owners seiling if they agreed upon a sale; ont if plaintiits purcbesed her they must take her as she stood, Elwell asked $50,000 for the ship, but on March 14, through the broker, she was finally purchased tor $42,500, She arrived in this port March 27, 1863. The plaintiffs took possession of her at once; paid for her some time in April; received $11,000 on the government charter that they bought in her; recharter her immediately for San Francisco for $25,100, and insured her for $50,000 as a first clase sbip, at the most favorable rates. Sho sailed on this voyage the 2ist of May, 1863, and met with @ month of hurricanes, -violont storms and cyclones off Horo, losing most of her sails, rigging, yards avd masts; but, her huil being very strong and tight, she put back to Rio; lay there one bundred days repairmg. she then proceeded to San this work in a reasonable time, and to be a great benefit 4n comparison with its cost, as will appear by a careful examination of this proposed change, The advantages Of this plan consist, among others, in the followin, 1. That it furnishes a substantial and permanent oundwork for acomprebensive system of river and arbor improvements, which would make the harbor of New York the most easily accessible for sailing vesseis as well as steamships, All v Is fro n Europe and the North, of whatever size or tonnage. could enter through the Sound, havea porfectly safe eptrance and considerably Shorter route than throngh the Narrows, thus avoiding all dangers of the chanue's, Jersey shore and Long Island beaches, and saving five or six millions of dollars of prop- erty annuafy wrecked thereon, The danger of the grad- ual fiillug up and narrowing of the harbor approaches throngh ‘the Narrows would be entirely overcome, as t gers of the rapid tide near Hell Gate, ver be changed as long as Hell Gate re- against which all blasting oat at Hell Gate (lord any relief worth speaking of. pew channel would resent a front of 101¢ miles for the building of splendid wharves and pters in the most substantial manuer, aud they could be built in the open cut betore the water is let in.

Tho tostimony was Mustrated with a handful of plain: tiff's hair, which she said she combed out after the assault, A sealed verdict was directed. COURT OF GENERAL sessions. Before Judge Russel. Tho calendar yesterday was very large and consisted ofa number of cases where the evidence was so slight that the Court suspended judgment. Robert T. Winter pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand larceny in stealing $200 worth of clothing from Silas C. Smith, No 202 William street, on the 7th of February. He was remanded for sentence. Wiiheimina A. Baier was tried on a charge of ge $72 worth of clothing, the property of Abraham P Mil- ler, No, 688 Washington stroet, on the 23d of February. Tho evidence was insufficient to sustain the indictment and the prisoner was acquitted. CONVICTION OF A CONFIDENCE MAN, Hugh Smith was tried and: convicted pf obtaining money by false protences. The complainant, William Leiteb, a resident of Hartford, Connecticut, swore that on the 28th of February he met the prisoner in South street and was asked where he was going, to which he repiied that he had succeeded in getting a situation as gardener for $40 per month, The prisoner stated that be had a farm at St Albans, and would give him $60 per month. They — conversed for some time and walked through several streots until they came to the corner of William and Pine streets, Smith went into the building and re- turned with a check, stating that he bad not time to get itcashed, but that if ho would give him ten dollars on it he would accompany him immediately to St. Albans, The money was given, Smith re-entered the building, requesting the countryman to remain a minute or two. That was the last seen of Smith till Saturday, when the detectives—who saw part of the transaction— arrested him. Counrel for the prisoner argued that the indictment was defective, on the ground that it alleged the pretence consisted of something in the future and not of an existing fact. Assistant District Attorney Bedford cited a recent decision of the Court of Appeals, to tho effect that the jury were to determine frora the evidence whether the representations were false or not. Mr. ford, in ad- dressing the jury, commented in severe terms upon the conduct of the swindiers who d»frauded illiterate and unsuspecting countrymen. The jury readered a verdict of guilty without leaving their seats, the Court having overruled the objection of counsel. On motion the sentence was deferred.

No qoarautioe regulations will avait ushere, We in our Northern homes cannot hope to escape its ravages, What is being done is indicative ‘that we are by uo moans deaf to this appeal of suffering humanity, It is the consideration of seli-proservation that should spur ws on to energetic, prompt and inten sified endeavor.

M. The st’.ck market continues to be influenced by Erie, with Je fluctuations of which all the other speculative railvay shares are in active sympathy.” The move- ents of this stock are a mystery to the street, and its “manipulators are unknown, although ramor has it that one of the directors of the road is the chief wire puller. The object of the parties concerned is, of course, to frighten the ‘shorts’? into covering, and’ to dupe the streei into buying at high prices, the programme evi- dently being to carry the stock higher, for the double Purpose referred to. The rest of the market is at present #0 much dependent on Erie that it is useless to speculate on its immediate future, although it seems probable that before long we sball witness a brisk speculation for arise in all the active shares, The supply of money is abundant to stock houses at seven per cont, with numer- .0Us exceptions at six, notbstanding there is an increas- ing demand for loans and discounts, and one or two largo houses dealing in government securities have still loans outstanding at five.

A Western journal gives a rule by which buyers and sellers of grain, under the newly adopted cental system, ean make their own calculations :— ‘a The standard weight of wheat per bushel is sixty pounds; corn and rye, fifty #ix pounds; oats, thirty-two pounds; barley, forty-eight pounds. The price per ushel beins given, to find the price per cental, multiply the price per bushel by-one hundred, and divide by the number of pounds in a bushel, For instance, at $1 50 r bushel for wheat: what is the price per contal? 150x 300-—18,000x60--$2 50—which is the pricé per cental. Again, the price per cental being given, to find the price per bushe! multiply the price per cental by the number of pounds in a bushel and divide by one hundred. F ample:—at $2 50 per cenial wha’ is the price per busi of sixty pounds ?—250x60—15,000x100—$1 50, the pri per bushel.
