HIBAVY SBNTENCH OF AN BX-WARRANT OFFICER or THE UNirED Sraves Navy.—Yesterday morning a genteel looking man about thirty-four years of age, nained Thomas 8, Cassidy, was tried in the court of sessions, before Judge Troy, on an indictment found against him for grand larceny. The testimony showed that on the 24th of October, 1866, the accused engazed board at the house of Mrs. Anne M, Leonard, No, 87 Sands street, and that he went up stairs to his room shortly before the dinner ‘bell rang, He did not make his appear- ance again, and two $500 bonds were yon to haves disappeared from a trunk belongin; to Mrs, Leonard. This circumstance was related ae police headquarters, and detective Corwin, who worked up the case, discovered that Cassidy had dis- ‘osed of the bonds in question at a broker's office in ‘all street for $1,097. Subsequentiy the accused was arrested in Philadelphia and taken to Brooklyn, where he was confined in the Raymond street jail for several weeks. Bail was, however, procured by the friends of Cassidy, and finding himseif once more at i , he left lis bondsmen in the lurch and eut his luekey, Last week he was arrested in New York on the el of forging @ check for $2,000 in the name of R. M. Hooley, which sum he obtained at the Brooklyn Central Bank. ‘This latter indictinent is of course stfil pending against him. ‘The trial yesterday on-the previous indictment did not occupy the attention of the court for more‘than one hour, age the jury found a verdict for conviction without leaving their seats, The prisoner was sen- ter to imprisonment in the State Prison for the term of tive years. He took his sentence quite un- concerned to all outward appearances. @ prisoner Was a gunner in the United States Navy for several years, served on the Cumberland, Mattabassett and other vessels of our Navy during ‘the war, and bore ue reputation of a brave man and a competent gun- ARREST FOR ALLEGED FaLse Prerences.—Detec- tive Denton arrested a man of very respeetable ap- pearance yesterday morning, named John Hickcox, on charge of false pretences, The accused, as al- leged, sold William 8 Shepherd of Albany, New York, a business in that city for the sum of $5,000, represent the same to hg of i chontabrence. ‘The complainant, however, aéhtly £2 ind that he had the worst of the bargain, and that the business was mortgaged for the full amount. The accused in the meantime left sinany, and came to Brooklyn. whither he was traced and arrested. ‘He was given over to the custody of an Albany officer and taken back to answer the charges preferred against him. REVENUE SEIZURE.—Seventeen barrels of whiskey were seized upon dray carts in Brooklyn yesterday, and the drivers, who were taken before United States Commissioner Jones, were held to answer for alleged violation of the Internal Revenue law. Fires During THe Monta or MARcu.—There were seventeen fires in this city during the month of March, involving a losg of $80,000, upon which ttiere Was an insurance of $74,000, ‘The fires for the cor- responding mouth last year were thirteen, and the Joss $6,500, ART ITEMS, The Archeological Ciub of the district of Waes, Belgium, has resolved to erect at Rupplemonde a statue to the celebrated geographer Mercator, born in that commune, A proposal is attoat that the elaborate Prince Con- sort memorial in Iyde Park should be protected by a gigantic glass shade. This amazing su tion of its fragility revives the thought of the more enduring record which her Majesty wished to place at the cen- tre of the round pond In Kensington Gardens, with eight groups, illustrating the varied picture which the world/presents, instead of the sumewhat over- worn “four quarters of the globe.” Such a plan might have afforded a betten, treatment of the na- tional memorial raised to the good Prince of Great Britain, It ts a'so said that the statue of the Prince Consort is again under consideration, and may yet be executed in marble instead of bronze. The figure should surely be wrought in the finest material for seulpture, aud that is not bronze, Moreover, the structure sheuld suilice to ne the statue, and bronze necds no protection, the sedent igure be adhered to, it should also he so posed as to be seen favorably from below. As an example of the pe t possibi''!ty of this we may instance the sedent siatue of Lorenzo de Medici—called “Il Penstero”—on the tomb at #lovence, which has its full and best expres- sion from the point of view at which it is seen by the spectator who ig standing on the floor of the chapel.
