Jay Gould vs, The Sherif of the Cily ana County of New York.—Tnis case, which had been adjourned on three different occasions ow- Ing to the non-appearance of Mr. Gould, came on for hearing yesterday for the disposal of the habeas corpus proceeding and upon an order to show cause Why the relator “and his counsel, Hamilton Harris, should not be punished for misconduct.” It will be remembered that an aMdavit was made by James Oliver, the oMcer to whom the custody of the relator was entrusted and in whose custody he visited Albany, where he still remains, setting forth that Mr. Gould refused to come to New York and that Mr, Harris bad so advised him in the matter. Mr. Vanderpoel said he understood that Mr, Gould ‘Was not in court, In reply to Judge Barrett Mr. Burrill said Mr. Goald was unable to attend, and had made an am. @avit setting forth that le had read acopy of an aMdavit made in this proceeding by James Ollver on the 11th April, 1868; that deponent never used the langues attributed to him in that ammidavit as to taking the responsibility of disobeying any order made by Judge Barrett, and in particular he never said that he would take the responsibitity of not go- ing down; nor in reply to anything said by Oliver did he say that he would take the responsibility of that mor anything equivalent thereto; neither did he at any time Jock any door against said Olver. ‘the aitidavit further averred that deponent sudered from an attack of congestion of the lungs which con- fined him to bed for six oreight weeks, and having sufiered a similar attack in December, 1867, he was advised by his physicians and believed that he ‘was still in danger of a relapse. On the morn- tng of April 10, 1868, he fully intended to return to New York with James Oliver, om. cer appointed by Judge Barrett to take charge of him, and for the purpose of competing his business and hastening his departure he Look a close carriage to the capital, notwithstanding the weather was such as to make it unsuitable for him to go out, On his return to the hotel he was much worse, mM consequence of the effort and exposure, and bis physician remonstrated with him for going out, ,and expressed his opinion that it would not be safe jfor him to go out again, and especially on a journe: ‘BO tong as to New York, In accordance with sue! he could not go to New ‘advice he told Oliver that ‘Work, and further informed hitn, for the purpose of relieving the case from all dificulty, he had con- eluded to # yh the bond required by Judge Barnard’s ‘order, and to submit to a discharge of the habeas ‘corpus, and offered to give him such a bond, which {was then drawn and ready to be signed, that he ‘might transmit the same to the Sheriit of New York, assuring him that he, deponent, was advised by counsel that he had a right to do so, and to abandon the proceedings under the wrtt of habeas corpus, the game having been commenced for. his benefit; but the said Oliver wholly refused to take such bond.

Deponent never heard Oliver fren him that he was committing a ctiminal coatempt, id never intended to commit any contempt or re- ist al process of the court or judge in this \proceeding, nor did he ever ‘Intend or attempt to escape from the custody of the said Oliver; but on ihe contrary urged the said Oliver to remain with \bim, and told him that he ought not to go away; but ‘he said his wife was in sibany and he must go down With her. Deponent was advised by his counsel, Hamilton Harris, that. the order committing him ‘to the charge of said Oliver gave no power to compel his attendance im New York on any day except the 8th of April, which advice deponent \believed and still believes to be correct, and so ‘dnformed said Oliver, atthe same time submitting hunself to J. Oliver’s continued custody and request- ‘ing him to continue in charge of him. Deponent ‘mever requested Oliver to leave the room in which he was in any case, exeept that. mentioned in the am- Gavit of Joseph H. Ramsay, but said Oliver absented ‘himself for his own accommodation, aud informed @eponent that he had been spending his time in the room of W. H. Tweed, Tuomas J. Creamer and other persons whose, interests aud Soctings are adverse to ‘deponent and to the Erie Raitroad Company, and he (deponent) believed that Oliver reported to them hat occurred in his room, for which reason deponent ‘Was unwilling that Oliver should heat bis conversa- ‘tion with Mr. Rameay. Deponeat disclaimed in the fullest manner ail disrespect for the courts and es and iv particular for the judge who tssued the ‘writ im thes case, and ig desirous of submitting him- self to any lawful order that may be issued.

SUPREME COURT—CIRCUIT—PART |. Interesting Suit for Hallroad Damages. Before Judge Noah Davis, Philip J. Monroe vs. The Hudson River Railroad Company.—On the 18th of September, 1861, plainti? took passage on the defendants’ line of railroad from Albany to New York. On the route he purchased a newspaper at Poughkeepsie, Mr. Monroe sues for $10,000 damages, and alleges that he was engaged in rearing the neyspaper, with his right arm elbow resting on the window sill of the car, and that near Sing Sing the train passed through a tunnel ata speed ofabout twenty-five miles an hour; that In conse- quence of some violent oscillation of the ear from side toside, and the nearness of the wall or rock cutting of the tunnel to the paaing train, his arm was suddenly jerked out of the window, and, being brought in contact with some obstacle or ‘projection, a. com- pound fracture of the limb was sustained. Plain- tid’ testified positively that his arm was not out of the window, but that he had so adjusted it on the sill that in the event of the window sash falling tt would not fall on his arm, Both bones of the forearm, below the elbow, and the humerus, a short distance above the joint, were broken. ‘By dint of surgical skill and care a cure, which the court in onareing the jury characterized as “‘remark- able,”’ was effected, plaintii! now having good use of his arm. A brakeman on the train, who testified on be- half of the defence, said that he saw the hand and arm projecting about twelve inches from the win- dow before the tunnel was entered, as though the owner of the protruding member was warm and esired to let the cool air pass up his coat sleeve as. the train rushed along; also that he thought at the lime, as they were approaching the tuuuel, that the arm was in danger. In summing up counsel for the plaintiff contended that had the arm and hand been in the position de- scribed by the brakeman the hand, Wrist, or ex- tremity of the ulna and radius would have been injured, and not the elbow, by the contact with the obstruction. Judge Davis charged in an able manner on the usual questions of negligence of the defendants, con- tributory negligence of the plaintu® and damages, but remarked further in the course of his observa- tions that if the arm protruded by any wilful or thoughtless act of the plaintiff’ the company was not liable, their obligation bemg to carry the plalntit safely “within the car.” The court directed the jury to return a sealed verdict this morning. SUPERIOR COURT—TRIAL TEAM—PART I. Suit for City Railroad Damagee—Liability of _the Citizen, Before Judge Jones. Penarill, an Infant, by his Guardian, vs, The Second Avenue Raitroad Company.—Plaintiif sued for $10,000 damages for injuries sustained by being knocked down and run over by one of the defendants’ cars while he was crossing Second avenue. Thecase was tried once before and the jury failed to agree, and a second trial was had yesterday, Plaintii tes- tified that the car by which ‘he was injured was a) proaching him at an unusual rate of speed whea attempted to cross the avenue, Upon the platntitt’s testimony the defendants’ counsel moved for a dismissal of the complaint oo the ground of contributive negligence. ‘The court held that the fact of plaintiff crossing the thoroughfare close to and in frout of a vehicle in rapid motion constituted contributory negligence on his part, and that a child of tender years must be held equally responsible for tits conduct tn this par- ticular with an adalt, the guardian of. the infant be- chargeable with necessary precaution for the child's iy» The complaint was dismissed.

Withdrawal of Deposite—Scenes and Inci- dents. The usually quiet neighvorhood of Twenty-sixth street and Third avenue has been terribly excited in @ finauclal sense during the past few days. The cause of all this hubbub and turmoil owes its origin to a paragraph that appeared in the papers of Satur- day last, wherein it was stated that the Third Ave- nue Savings Bank had become involved by the sud- den dectine in the stock of Atlantic Mail to the amount of nearly a quarter of a million of dollars. As can readily be imagined, a panic immediately seized all those persons who were depositors in this institution, and a ran on the bank followed as a natural consequence. Ever since then large and ex- cited groups of men and women of all classes of the community, from the bard working laborer and Poor washerwoman to the thriving green grocer and avaricious landlord, have besieged the doors of the spacious “eam in which many of them thought it unsafe to trust their hard earned savingsany longer, and vainly ¢ndeavored, in their frenzy, to force heir way into the bank through the cordon of police, who were stationed on the steps for the purpose of preserving order. Many were drawn thither through mere idle curiosity, doubtless ex- pecting every minute to see the bank “burst” or its directors go “up in a balloon; but as yet tiris de- lightful sensation has been denied them and their delectable curiosity remains ungratitied. Solitary individuals occasionally sauntered down the Tmrd avenue for the distance of half a block, when they would pause in their onward movement, place their hands in their trowsers pockets, as if in search of a something that they could not Oud or did not possess, look listiessly avout them, march deliberately up to the large show windows of some of the retail stores, here they very probably contemplated their chances of ever again being able to nied any of the good things therein dispiayed should the bank fail, and then, with this harrowing and agonizing thought uppermost in thetr minds, would rush apasmodicatiy back to the scene of their distress, and after etrug- ging, hard to wedge into the crowd tn front of the would quietly avide their time to be admitted into the building, @ police received instructions to admit. nv person who could not show a bank book; hence the great difficuity experienced by some tn gaining admission. Those who had no special bust- ness with the bank were forced to withdraw in order to make room for such persons as desired either to deposit or take out their money, and this ty some extent tended to facilitate business, On Saturday there were but very few depositors who drew their money out of the coucern; but after thinking upoa the subject during the whole of Sun- day many of them came to the conciuston that their ng was Jn danger, and that we only chance the; had of saving it was to draw it out and close thelr account with the apparently threatened imstitution; hence the great run on Monday. From the regular morning hour of opening the bank the clerks were kept constantly engaged in setting up individual accounts unt after midnight. Instead of closiny the doors and refusing to transact any farther busi- ness after the regular hour had arrived for doing so, the bank was kept open for over two hours after the time, for the purpose of affording an opportunity to all those who desired to do 80 to take out their money. It was after twelve o'clock that night before the clerks Cs through with their arduous duties, and yesterday morning they were agaip on hand bright and early, smut complacently upon their troublesome pa- trons, las ready as they were the day previous | either to take deposiia or pay out. The directors are certainly deserving of tm ich commendation for Keeping We bank open eo long after bours to meet the demard of their depositors, who coult not, if the directors were s0 disposed, withdraw their money from the bank without frst giving thirty days’ notice to that eect.

The same same four diseases terminated 43 lives in Brooklyn. ‘The total mortality in the former cit 472, including 84 in the public institutions, an was 161 in Brooklyn, exclusive of 11 deaths that were reported in county institutions and streets beyond the city limits, Zymotic diseases exhibit a marked increase in New York, where they gave 23.52 per cent of the total mortality. In Brooklyn there was the same degree of increase in this clas of fatal agencies; but the per centage was only 17.39 of the total lat. Scar- latina was more fatal, but perhaps not more preva- lent, than in any previous week, there being 51 fatal cases in the two cities. Diarrhoeal diseases are in- Fria A in New York; but in Brooklyn we had but a single death charged to them. Infant life suffered far less in Brooklyn than in New York. In the first year of infancy only 36 (22.36 ee cent of total) perished in the former city of com- fortable homes; while in New York 143 29 per cent) were of this class of tender purallpasy 130( 48.73 T cent) of all deaths in this city were chfidren under ve years of age, while only 66 (or 40.99 te cent) of the deaths in Brooklyn occurred in this period of childhood. it is worthy of remark sate we have as- certalned that 252 deaths oceurred in the New York tenant houses in which four or more families reside, and that ouly 136 deaths occurred in all other kinds of dwelling houses, including hotels and boarding houses. ‘This fact may well be pondered, for it is full of significance. The death rate in New York, exclusive of the 50 deaths that occurred in island institutions, was equivalent to 30.14 in 1,000 yearly, while ia Brooklyn. it Was 28.27 in 1,000—estimating n last census in both cities, These rates are 20 pér cent lower than in some other American cities (for March); but still they are excessive in general id in particular to such @ degree as to warn the Board of Health of sources and centres of evils which require sanitary care—overcrowdea tenements and the foul accumu- lations of a loug winter being the most obvious of them. ‘The death rates in the chief cities of ae continue to be unusually high. Want prevails there to a far greater extent than here. The death rate in London (the third week in March) continued at 22 per 1,000; but in Glasgow it was 31; in Manchester, 30; in ‘Dublin, 24; in Liverpool, 25; in Edinburg, 28, and in Vienna the previous week it was 37 per 1,000. The mean tem- perature in the last mentioned city was 424 degrees, and in London 44 degrees. But in New York, last week—three weeks later in the season—the mean day and night temperature at Essex Market was $2 degrees Fahrentelt, or 5'4 degrees colder than the average, for March, in twenty-live years, and more than 12 degrees below the mean of that pertod for the first fortnight in April. The feartul famine that for @ long time has been crushing out both iife and hope at a terrible rate In the Baltic provinces of Prussia and in Northern Sweden still continues. And while such sufferings, thoagh very remote from us, call forth sentimeuts and acts of benevo- jence, we may also well regard the fact that ao im- mense tmmigration from the Prusso-German slites is setting towards the port of New York and wil bring some elements Which require sanitary Watcl- fulness. BLIC EDUCATION, New Ashool Buildiug for the Twentieth Ward. From time to time tn the co!umas of the HERALD Notices have appeared of some of the many and needed improvements and additions to the public School buildings contemplated, or in course of eon- struction, under the direction of the Board of Educa- tion. The gentlemen comprising this board, them- selves keenly alive to the pressing necessity for additional school accommodations, and importuned by parents and others interested in the proper and healthy development of the brain of the metropolis, have with all possible promptness endeavored to minister fully and faithfully to the comfort of all coming under their jurisdiction, either as teachers or pupils. The: ave adupted plans, remod- el old departments and created new ones, when the general weifare of the school system de- manded ft. At times they have met with opposition from parties Who might, with justice, be compared to the class known as the Doctrinatres—quite promi- pent about the time of the French Revolution—per- sons who did not trouble themselves much about facts, but who confidently latd down doctrines or conclusions based upon systems which were purely of their own Creation, ul, notwithstanding this opposition, the general public has endorsed the acon of the Board in their efforts to make the pub- lic school system of the metropulis the model one of the universe, and to construct the school build- ings so thatthe citizens could point to nem with | dared and could entrust their offspring in them with feelings of security for their health and comfort. With this iptent prominently in view the Board created a department which should have especial control of the erection of new school houses and of the requ- site alterations and repairs to those already in use, and itrusted it to parties fully competent vy practi- cal experience in the Bere icel Rare f the work as well a3 by an intimate knowledge of the schooi * stem and the wants and wishes of the citizens und the attendants at the public schools, to carry out tue ideas of the Board, Among the buildings which have been commenced or completed under the direction of this new depart- ment, the school bouse to be erected for a male grammar school in Thirteenth street in the Twentieth ward will be @ model establishment in every parti- cular, The residents of that ward for a long time, through the local board of schvol officers, anxiously sought a proper alte on which to erect a new school house, so that their sous should have @ place to go to receive Instruction without the — probavility of having their health. destroyed and, energies wasted Wawholesome basements or badly ventilated lofts, At Jast a piece of property was purchased on the south side of Thirtieth stree! bear Sixth avenue, 100 feet front, and rear 1184 fe on the east aide and 143% on the west side, at a cost of $4,0%, Plans and specifications were prepared by Mr. detses L. Miller, superintendent of school buiidings®, aad @ very havdsome design was drawn by Mr. Stagg, draughtaman to the Board of Educa- for @ vuiiding capable of accommodating 2,.00 pupils, four stories In height, and Ceres, a main building Ofty feet front by 104 feet deep, with two front wings, each twenty-five feet front by forty fect deep ; two rear wings, each twenty-five feet by twenty-three feet, and two independent stair wings, each eight feet by thirteen. The front of the building is to be of Philadeipt ressed brick, trimmed with Connecticut brown stone, which, around tbe doors and windows of the second foor, will be vermiculated, — The stairwaye and window Bills on the rear and sides to be of Croton Point blue stone, and all matertals of the best quality. ‘The style of architecture t@ one peculiar to the New York school buildings and belongs to no specific class, , 48 before suggested In Lhese columns, might be rmed the utWeduicem, as combining the useful aud and beautifnt th 18 construction. The cellar, to be nine feet in height, will be used for the fucl and heating apparatus; the first, or ground door, to be nine feet nine inches in height, wil be used as a play rane, while the front wilt be a@ meeting room for the trustees and rooms for the janitor, ‘the second and third stories will ve each fourteen feet and three inches in height, and will be devoted entirely to class and recitation rooms. On | the second story Will be the infant's gatiery, whica | may be reached by means of two extra wooden stairways, Im order that the elder puptis need avi interfere with the infants, and so constructed that the latter Wil Mot be fatigued in going up or dowa | stairs, On the fourth foor will be a chapel or re- | ception room, forty-seven feet by seventy-nine and | a balf feet in size and seventeen fee: in tetgut, aud HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1868—QUADRUPLE SHEET. REAL ESTATE MATTERS. The Feeling in the Market—Sales ia York and Brooklyn, Business at the Excha ze ye. ay was decidedly dull, the attendance, altiough consideral) largely composed of lookers on, interested mo: curiosity than any disposition to invest. A large sale of one hundred and fifty lots fronting on the Grand Boulevard, Harlem river, Seventh avenue and McComb’s Dam road, 15tst, 152d, 153d and 14th streets, known as the Florence Hotel property, beg a portion of the estate ot the late Daniel Deviin, New which was announced to be held yesterday, failed for some reason, the property being withdrawn after a few lots only had been knocked down, which lots it was subsequently learned had not been sold, With the close of the season prices have generally retrograded, and with this additional evidence of that to sellers unpleasant fact, it is not probable very much more property will be brought into the market this year for mere specu- jative intent. A lai sale of Brooklyn lots, how- ever, was had yesterday by Jonson & Miller in this city, and was very successful. The difference in the value of lots there to up town in New York will pro- bably occasion @ more continued activity in them, even after the others are withdrawn for the season.
