Wiliam Pinder vs, Eliza Stoothof.—This was the title of an action which, having occupied the atten- tion of the court and jury for two days, was con- cluded yesterday afternoon, when the verdict awarded was six cents damages for plaintiff, ‘The @amages on which the suit was based was for the recovery of $10,000 from the detendant, who is the mother-in law of Mr, Pinder. The case ls somewhat culiar in its bearings and may be briefly cited as Riiows;—The piaintif, who is in a good business in Brooklyn, married the daughter of Mrs, Stoothotf in May, 1862. Shortly aiter their union the mother in- etituted a series of advice and recommendations to the w.fe against permitti her husband to get the ‘upper hand of her and otherwise made herself ob- noxious to Mr. Pinder, who separaes, the interference of his mother-in-law in their domestic arrangements, ‘fas tending to alienate the affections of her daugiter from him. This influence eventually succeeded in sep- arating the husband from his wife, whom the latter Jeft in September, 1864, taking with her one child, the Fesult of the union. Since that period he has made re- ted overtures, it was claimed on the trial, to ring about a reconciliation, but these have been all frustrated. Hence the proceedings. For the de- fence it was argued that the conduct of the plaintit! towards his wile was #0 cruel ag to utterly allenate her affections from him, and rendered her mother’s home a welcome refuge for her and her chid. She had ehosen her mothei’s home of her own free will and without constraint, and even were that home closed against her she would never return to her husband, who had suown that he was mcapable of Making her happy. Considerable eaumony was taken on both sides and the verdict was rendered for the plaintid, as above stated. KINGS COUNTY SURROGATE’S COURT. Before Surrogate Veeder.

Carroll Park, South Brook- lyn, has undergone a thorough rejuvenating manipu- Jation under the hands of the lgardener, The walks there have been renovated, drainage facilt- ted, trees trees trimmed, hedges planted, Nower ‘beds laid out in artistic for , and all that can tend to make this hitherio much negiected little park a most desirable place of res idents of that neighborhood has recentiy accom: ed under the supervision of Mr. James 8. 7. Stranuahan ond the other members of the Bourd of Park Commis- wiouers. Of Prospect Park so much has been said in these columns, from time to time, that it rematns but to be said that this great undertaking is progressing slow. ly but surely towards the high niche, in point of repu- tation, dn the tower off fame which for artigcial and engineering skill combined with the peculiar natural advantages of location must be awarded it. On Monday last the work of breaking the first ound for the iinprovement of Fort Greene, or Frasniny on Park, was commenced, This park is bounded by Myrtle and De Kalb avenues and Cumber- land and Canton streets, and is therefore located in a most central and thickly settled section of Brooklyn. The ground is mainly elevated above the adjoining jand, rising in paris so considerable that the sur- rounding buildings are overlooked and a most excel- jent view is afforded of the East river and the Lower Bay. In the hottest weather of summer, when the denizens of the surrounding habitations look about their premises in vain for @ cool current of alr, the refreshing sea breeze that can almost always be found on the higher levels of Fort Greene, woos them hither, Yet, notw: —— von bagel fe ceeet which this historic ground posse: 0 popular recreation for the residents of that part of the city, it was not properly kept; Indeed, it was a cidedly neglected until it came under the fosterin care of the Commissioners, Who, recognizing the im- portance and propriety of regulating #o desirable a Spot and converting it into @ more inviting place of resort for the people, sought for some appropriate design for carrying out thelr views. it September a plan was finally decided upon, designed by a promi. nent (iri of New York landscape architects, upon which the work has just been inaugurated, The ground to be improved is over thirty acres in extent, and the surface, Which 18 of a raised character, sug- # ste a ore complete and interesting arrangement of accomodations for popular recreation than nh be attempted im the public squares jarge town and — yet, the opin- of the architects, it fs altogether too 4 properly laid out as apark, It is in- yest ground in the angle between and Canton street shall be laid out as This is rabie adily accessible from the ated parts of the city and © a area of surface that wrt sequie ing room to about thirty thousand persons, has been set of in thus quarter, ‘The whole of this meeting ground will have a regular slope towards the novil end, which furnishes & suitable place for the display of fireworks and ig provided in the centre wilh & “rostrum.” It will also answer very well for mill- tary mancuv: as regimental drill. and le.

It is de- pa rg Sieg ir e eye great fstorical events, and for many = has been used by the Brooklynites as a place for tic demonstrations. In this connec- tion ap road, twenty feet in width, has been drawn out, which will be entered from the gate nearest the State Arsenal on Portland avenue. ‘On the hill side, between the saluting ground and the exterior of the meeting ground—a most appro- riate position—will be erected a memorial tomb for the reception of the remains of the “Prison Ship Martyrs,” ‘contemplated by the Brooklyn city govern- vith the intention of securing to visitors an agreeable walk in the immediate vicinity of the square, when the gates of the enclosure are shut for the night, the adjoming walks are to be increased in width to thirty feet, and to be planted with a doub.e row of trees. Gates are provided at the various an- gles, and in the centre of each side. Special proimi- nence will be given in laying out the park, to the angular approaches, wii will be enlarged and symmetricaily planted with trees, 80 a8 to present a pleasing aspect on entering the grounds, and, at the same time, offer facilities for an casy turn in con- nection with the exterior walks, ‘The whole will be surrounded by a wall. Broad walks will be so laid out that the whole space can be traversed and turned to account, whue lines of communication, of easy grade and tolerably direct, are secured by the design tor those who may have occaston to cross the park, ‘Though the general surface of the ground is very irregular alawn nearly ievel, of considerabic est-ni, is to be laid out for boys, and another lawn of about the same size for the use of yiris and children. The undulating ground it is intended to plant somewhat ciosely, and it will be so arranged as io olfer a series of shady walks, which wili at suort intervals have an outlook over open, grassy space! it attractive feature of the improve- Ments designed will doubtless be the “vine covered walk.” This will be located on the be posed piateau, and will consist of a plan of shelters, of considerable extent, in the form of a cross, one arm of which to the saluting ground, another with a build- ing to be set apart for the sale of refreshmenis, a third with an observatory of moderate eievation, while the fourth will command the most interesting view over the city that cap be obtained there, In thethot weather this will be a charming arbor and shelter from the scorching rays of the sun, The present force engaged on this work ts about one hundred and fifty men, who are chiefly employed incarting earth from one point to another, raising temporary mounds. The entire cost will not, it is estimates, exceed $200,000. The effect of this much needed improvement upon the surrounding localit; will be to enhance the value of property, while it will refect credit upon the entire city by enhancing ite beauties and providing for the recreation, health and comfort of the people. The. time occupied in the perfection of the present designs will be, perhaps, ten or twelve months. YACHTING.

The Season Opened in the Thames, {From Bell’s Life in London, May 23.) Under the influence of a giorious summer day, the heat of which was tempered by sufficient wind to put the yachtmen in a good temper with themseives and one another, the yachting season commeuced in the Thames on Monday, the course being Erith round the Nore and return to Gravesend; and, singularly bmege as in the first match of last year, there were but three vessels engaged, while one of them was Vindex, and she failed to save her time on the lead- ing boat. We regret to have to record that so few yachts put in an appearance for this match and sin- cerely hope that itis not to be taken as an earnest of what the yachting season will be like, or we feat the munificent and unprecedented sums offered by all the metropolitan yacht clubs will be thrown away. For this match the Royal Thames had an- nounced no less than £200 to be satled for by all classes of cutters and secured the following entry of first class vessels :— Yacht. Tons, Port. Owner. Sra . 48.London.......J. 8. Earle, ROSEBUD. 51. Southampton. Sir bruce Chichester, Bart Vinpex ..45. London. A. Duncan, Fiona. ...77.Greenock.....E. Boutclier, Neither of the other classes flited, and consequently the club, with a laudabie desire to encourage sport, agreed that the Luna, 25 tons, Dublin, R. H. Daniel, Esq., and the Queen, 15, Southampton, Captain J. W. C, Whitbread—entered respectively for the second and third classes, should sail together for a £30 cup Luna to allow 6% minutes), and start a quarter of an jour before the larger vessels, tus making the amount of money given £130.

There are actually in training at the course no less than one hundred and five horses—nearly double ‘a8 many as ever before assembled at a race course in the United States; and this large number will nearly all run during the meeting, as @ number not fit to race have been sent away to make room for the live ones; and still they come, several othera being mo- mentarily expected. The course is in excellent con- dition, and the horses are bounding over its smooth surface from early dawa until noon, Trial runs are of frequent occurrence, and some startling speed has been reported, A very pretty little accidental race occurred on Thursday between Onward (of Mr. Mor- ris? stable), and De Courcey (of the Jerome Park sta- bie), who happened to fall together in strong work and ran a well contested mile in good time, although “the wayward little chestaut” seemed to be going at his ease. Itis said that Dickens and Extra, of the Annieswood stabie, have gone amiss, but it 18 hoped no perma- net disability will be the result, That prominent stable, however, can well afford temporarily to retire the invalids, as it will be represented’ by Kentucky, Magnet, Canny Bairn, Attraction, Sapphire, &c. Captain Moore’s stable, having had the advantage of winter training in the South, are conspicuously in fine order, and the Captain continues to work them ag if he anticipated hard struggles for victory. Fanny Cheatham, Privateer, Stonewall Jackson and General McMahon are among bis lot. The Ohio stable (Messrs. McConnell & Harness’), including General Duke, Vauxhall, &0., may be ex- pected to be more successful than at the recent Se- caucus meeting. Mr. Morris’ stable, consisting of Onward, Fanny" Ludlow and a two year oid brother to Raquette, look like winners, and of course stand high in betting ‘circles, Mr. Sanford has nine. Conspicuous among them are Lancaster, Virgil, Northumberland, La Polka, &c. His heart has been set upon La Polka as his favorite three year old, but Northumberland seems now to outrank her. The Jerome Park stable, though not so proud as when Kentucky led the string, is still formidable. ‘The most gratifying fact in this regard is that old Fleetwing, who was supposed to have broken down last year, ls going like a gay four year old, showing plenty of speed, and his threatened leg seeming almost as good as new. De Courcy, General York, Redwing and a two year old filly by imported Lapt- dist out of Parachute, are also performing very satis- factorily. Mr. Pincus’ stable, headed by the fleet Metairie (a | M. H. Mossehinan’s b. e. Le Cygne, 3 yrs., dangerous candidate for the cup), are in fine condi- tion. His two year old filly by Lexington out of Stonewall Jackson’s dam must not be held too cheap. Dr. Weldon’s string of about a, dozen includes Local, winner of two events at Secaucus, and ft to run in the best company. Major Bacon has a fine lot of youngsters, looking much like candidates for high honors. Colonel McDaniel’s exact dozen, numerously en- gaged for events at this meeting, are in good condi- tion, especialy Blackbird, Red Dick and Clement. Mr. Pennock’s fine horse Jas. A Connolly, a racer at all distances, is the head and front of his lot. When he is beaten a good race will be run. Mr. Dowling’s numerous string includes several good ones, and his defeats at, Secaucus must not be understood as placing him out of the ring here. Messrs. Bowie & Hall, Mr Lloyd and Mr. McCoun have cach @ couple—aill untried, Few persons in this country have seen a dozen horses start ina single race, but this will doubtless be the case in many instances curing this meeting; and it is safe to predict that the sport will be such as to demonstrate the permanence of racing as a popular American institution. RACING IN FRANCE, The Run for the French Derby—Betting on the Event. {From the London Times, May 26.) vent of the year in Continental Facts e Prix du Jockey Club, was run at Chantilly unday last, and, although the weather was threatening and uninviting, still every special from Paris was crowded with passengers. The betting at the rooms at Paris the evening previous was re- markable for the tirmness of the Duke of Hamilton’s Gouvernail, about whom only 2 to 1 could be ob- tained, and he was decidedly the best favorite, M. Schickler’s Suzerain came next, and during the morning, at the Bourse, was backed at 3 and 7 to 2 for good money, at which price he left off very firm. Gondoiler, the representative of Count de Lagrange’s stable, and who was driven to 16 to 1 last week, was now backed 4to 1. Pietro was firm at 6 and 6 to 1 and M.

It is nearly a month since we have had any rain in London, and in no corner of the globe have there been more delight- ful days and delicious nights than here during that period. Fine weather is becoming, however, too much of a good thing, and we begin to long for the old fogs and showers. Vegetation is backward; the market gardeners and their customers complain, and foreigners who have landed upon these shores under the impression that it always rains in London are in a most bewildered state of mind, During these dreamy May days | know of no more pleasant lounge near London than at Lord’s Cricket Ground, where the p!aying season has just com- menced. The ground is retired, but easy of access by cabs, omnibuses or underground railway, and it is attended almost every day by a splendid company of ladies and gentlemen—on foot, on horseback and in carriages—who watch with interest the crack games of the best cricketers in England. All round the neighborhood are beautiful villas. The ground is framed in with trees, Billiard rooms, tennis and Tacquet courts are close at hand in the club build- ing. There is a grand stand, like that at Jerome Park, and a brick pavilion for the players. A new refreshment saloon is in progress of erection. No- where can cricket be played and seen more comfort- ably and agreeably; and this fact, as well as the ex- cellence of the games there, has given Lord's a world wide reputation. ‘This cricket season commenced on the 11th of May with a match between the Marylebone Club and the Royal Artillery, in which the Marylebone was easily successful.

The Slave Trade on the White Nile—Rritiod Reports—Statements of the Viccray. (From the Pall Mall Gazette, May 21.) Acompetent Minister in Lord Maimesbury’s posi- tion would have given a very different reply to the questions put on Friday last by the Duke of St. Albans on the important question of slave trading on the White Nile. Instead of referring the Duke tq certain pages of’ the Slave Trade Blue Book with @ sort of taunt of ignorance or negligence, he would have been eager to do justice to maligned Europeat and toa useful English public servant and woul Have stated the answer given by Mr. Reade and others to the Egyptian Viceroy’s unfounded charge against Europeans, that they were upholders—too strong for him to deal with—of the cruel slave trade carried on in Upper Egypt. It may be observed: in passing that these Slave Trade Blue Books, which are printed in the Foreign Office, are not circulated among members of both houses, like most pariia+ mentary papers, but that @ limited number is dee osited at the paper office of each house, to be giver ‘0 any member who asks for one. It is quite proba- ble, heretores that the Duke of St. Albans had no knowledge of the Blue Book to which Lord Maimes- bury referred him, These documents ought to be freely circulated, like other parliameutary papers, but perhaps it suits the Foreign Oflice that their cire culation should be limited. ‘ The Viceroy of ret stated in July Jast, n Paris, to @ deputation of the British and Foreign Ante Slavery ety, that, “though he could act againsé his own people, he was defeated when he sought te. do 80 against Pe arg who were the chief deline Cab He added, “If he were free to act against Eawcncen ok trailers the rel ade vane ae gappear. 1 ‘uropean Powers should give hina to exercise the right of the necessary authorit; = i regards oats sailing under Europeap colors.
