8 BROOKLYN CITY. "Gary couaT, The Trials of a Young Husband Through the nce of = Mother-in-Law Over His Before Judge Thompson. 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 the is pomepeh caethore Se eet Si manndhs dere i jows;—The plain! who is ina business in Brooklyn, married the daughter of Mra, Stoothof in May, 1862.

Stace aes eanee he has made re- | overtures, it was cl on the trial, to ig about @ reconciliation, but these have been all frustrated. Hence the proceedings. For the de- fence it was argued that the conduct of the plaintir towards his wife was so cruel as to utterly ailenate her affections from him, and rendered her mother’s home a welcome refuge for her and her chiid. She had ehosen her mother’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 shown that he was incapabie of Making her happy. Considerable testimony was taken on both sides and the verdict was rendered for the plaintin, as above stated. KINGS COUNTY SUAROGATE'S COURT. Before Surrogate Veeder.

Commencement of the Work and Design Thereof, Since the passage of the act by the Legislature of 1867 giving the Prospect Park Commissioners full control over the management of the parks located ‘Wituin the Limits of the city of Brooklyn, heretofore unter the care of the Common Council, a marked ani highly creditable and advantageous improve- ment has nevinced lu the general aspect of these Public pleasure grou Carroll Park, South Brook- lyn, has undergone a thorough rejuvenating manipu- Jation under the hands of the skilied gardener. The walks there have been renovated, drainage facilt- ted, trees trees trimmed, hedges planted, nower beds laid out in artistic forms, and all that can tend to make this hitherto much negiected little park a most desirable place of resort for the residents of that neighborhood has recentiy been accomplished under the supervision of Mr. James 8.7. Stranuahan and the other members of the Board of Park Commis. wioners. Of Prospect Park 0 much has been said in these columns, from time to time, that it remains but to be said that this great undertaking i# progres#ing slow. ly but surely towards the high niche, in point of repu. tation, dn the tower off fame which for artificial and engineering skill combined with the peculiar natural wivantages of location must be awarded it. On Monday last the work of breaking the first (found for the improvement of Fort Greene, or Yashington Park, was commenced. This park is bounded by Myrtle and De Kaib avenues and Cumber- land and Canton streets, and is therefore located in a most central and thickly settled section of Brooklyn. ‘The ground is matuly elevated above the adjoining land, rising in paris so considerable that the aur- 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 sammer, when Genizens of the surrounding habitations look about their premises in vain for a cool current of alr, the refrestiing sea breeze that can almost always be found on the higher levels of Fort Greene, woos them hither. Yet, notwithstanding all these advantages which this historic ground possesses aa @ place of ujar recreation for the residents of that part of Rie City, It Was not properly kept: Indeed. it ae dee pa Hegiected until itcame under the fostering care of the Commissioners, who, recognizing the tm- portance and propriety of reguiating so desirable @ Spot and converting it into a more invitin lace of resort for the people, sought for some appfoprinte design for carrying out thelr views. Last Soptember a plan was finally decided upon, designed by a promi. nent firm of New York landscape architecta” upon which the Work has just been inaugurated, “ke ground to be improved is Over thirty acres in extent, and the surface, which is of a raised ch: ter, sug- Keele a more complete and interesting arrangeme of accommodations for popular recreation th can often be attempted in the eee squares of large towns; and yet, the — op jon of the architerta, it is altogether restricted to be properly laid out ag @park.

Special proini- nence will be given in laying out the park, to the angular approaches, which wiil be enlarged and ‘mmetricaily pianted with trees, 0 a8 to present & 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 wail. Broad walks will be so laid out that the whole space can be traversed aud turned to account, whue lines of communication, of easy grade and tolerably direct, are secured by the on Rs those who may have occasion to cross je park, i Though the general surface of the ground is very irregular alawn nearly level, of considerabic extent, is to be laid out for boys, and another lawn of about the same size for the use of iris and children. The undulating ground it is tutended to pliant somewhat ciosely, and it wili be so arranged as io offer a series of shady walks, which wili at snort intervais have an Outlvok over open, grassy spacce. But the mast attractive feature of the improve- ments designed will doubtless be the “vine covered waik.” This will be located on the upper piateau, and will consist of a plan of shelters, of cousiderabie extent, in the form of @ cross, one arm of which leads to the saluting ground, another with a build- ing to be set apart for the sale of refreshmenia, thi with an observatory of moderate elevation, while the fourth will command the most interesting view over the city that cap be obtained there, In thehot weather this will be a charming arbor and shelter from the scorching rays of the sun. The present force 1 on this work is about one hundred and filty men, whoare 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 locallt; will be to enhance the value of property, while it will refiect 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 Squadrons at Cowee—Cutter Match of the Royal Thames Yacht Club.

Under the influence of a glorious summer day, the heat of which was tempered by sufticient id 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 oom , a8 in the first match of last year, there were but three vessels while one of them wus Vindex, and she failed to save her time on the lead- ing boat. We it to have to record that so few yachts put in an appearance for this match and sin- cere! ate itis not to be taken as an earnest of what the yachting season will be like, or we fear 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 sailed for by all classes of cutters and secured the following entry of first class vessels :— Yacht, Tons, Port. SPHinx . .48. London, visitors an ity of the RoseBvp.61.Southampton.s Bart Vinpex ,.45.London. FIONA. E. Boutcher. Neither of the other classes filled, and consequently the club, with a laudabie desire to sooentaes, sport, agreed that the Lung, 25 tons, Dublin, R. H. Danicl, Esq., and the Queen, 15, Southampton, Captain J. W. Cc. Whitbread—entered respectively for the second and third classes, should sail together for a £30 cup es allow 6% minutes), and start a quarter of an jour before the kj r vessels, thus making the amount of money given £130, The Commodore having joined at Erith, the first gun to prepare was fired under his direction at 11:18:27, ancl the second to start at 11:28:35, the wiud being E. by N. (a dead beat), and plenty of it, Fiona ran out her jib first, Sphinx having her mainsall set hefore the other ‘iy which were equally smart. Al! the ing set in 1 minute 20 seconds, top- attended to, Sphinx sending hers up'first, but Vindex having hers alu out before her rival at 11:29:30; while the Fiona was very sluggish with hers, The Sphinx, from her leeward position, was compelled to ‘work among the craft on the Kent shore—they had started a mile above the pier—and tacked first, while the others over to the northward, foillows:— They rounded the Nore as AM.

Prince Alfred Yacht Clab—Opening Cruise, [From Bell's KAfe in London, May 23.) The opening cruise of this cb took place May 18, The Vice Cor . Keogh, in the absence of the Con Veil, hoisted his flag on board his celel er the Secret, and signatied to tue feet to get under way, aud having hove to outside the mouth of the harbor, sent up No. 109 to form in line on starboard. The order was quickly responded to by the folowing yachts with large canvas set, the day being particularly fige, with a light air at W:— Xeema, Major Barton. Sappho, F. Dunne. Aquiline, H.

Thompson. leh. el Versachoyle, and Meta, Colonel Baker, though the club, sailed im company. The Vice jodore then ran up No. A ed sail for the rendezvous at Latbay Island, and the fleet all went away on the port tack at the top of thetr speed, Wavecrest leading, followed by Siren, X Leda and Secret, the rest of the fleet in a rick. the vessels came to anchor in Swallow Cave, on the north side of the isiand, with the exception of two or three, at 1:45. When the Vice Commodore sig- nailed the crews \o meet ashore, nearly all landed and went to see the dierent features of interest on Jnciuding the spot where the ill-fated Tayleur was wrecked some years since, over Which @ looking little chapel has been erected, the aunted castle, so memorable in the annals of the Talbot de Malahide family, and though last, not least, the magnificent views irom the top of the istand, The erews ee eet the Vice Commodore, ninety-one, to form abreast on his starboard, and then 146, to make all gail for ome. The breeze being now steady and fresh at the south, topmasts were housed and second jibs set on the cutters, to work back to windward against the last two hours’ food. Royal Western Yacht Club of Ireland, ‘The satling match of Royal Western Yacht Crud, a time race, and open to Ai) yachts belonging to the royal cluba, aud New York Yacht Club will come om on July 25, ‘The Yachting Congress. ., {Prow Bell's Life in London, May 23.) We have to remind our yaeh readers aud clade that the necting to take into ration the vari. ous laws which need in order that ey club of the sea may be established to settle al! dis- utes, will be heid on Monday, at Willig? Rooms, at bree o’clock in the afternoon, when representatives of no leas than twenty-two yacht clubs wil! take part in the discussion. It ia to be tha! tals Ox. ture made last week has been to, as the first match of the New Thames Yacht Club takes piace on that day, June 1, when doubtless many leasing yacht- men would like to be afloat; but we are oMiciully in- formed that although the circumstance ts regretted by those havi the matter in charge there remains no ive for them but to ad- here to the date first - named, Captain Mackinnon, the secretary of the al Victoria Yacht Cluv. who are the originators the move- ment, has carefully compiled a formidable looking b * coutaining the laws of every club upon which will come under diseussion and which will jorm tie basis upon which the meeting will procees to legislate. ° JEROME PARK. The races to commence next Tuesday at Jerome Park will probably eclipse all the preeeding meet- ings. 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 ail run during the meeting, a8 @ number not fit to race have been sent away to make room for the live ones; and still they come, several others being mo- mentarily expected, The course is in excellent con- dition, and the horses are bounding over its smooth surface from early dawr 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 chestnut” seemed to be going at his ease. " 1tis said that Dickens and Extra, of the Anniecswood stabie, have gone amiss, but it ts hoped no perma- nent 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 as if he anticipated hard straggles 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 o1d 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 oatrank 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, is going lke @ 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 dangerous candidate for the cup), are in fine condl- 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 fit to run in the best company. Major Bacon has a fine lot of youngsters, looking much tike candidates for high honors, Colonel McDaniel’s exact dozen, numerously en- gaged for events at thie 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 each @ couple—ail untried. Few persons in this country have seen a dozen horses start In @ single race, but this will doubtless be the case in many instances during this meeting; and {t 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.} The event of the year in Continental ee viz:—the Prtx du Jockey Club, was run at Chantilly on Sunday 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 irmness 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 bi it 3 and 7 to 2 for good money, at which price he left off very firm. Gondoiler, the representative of Count de Lagrange’s stabie, and who was driven to 16 to 1 last week, was now backed 4tol. Pietro was firm at 6 and 6 to 1, and M. Delamarre’s Predestiné was sup; orted at 8 and 10 to 1. The Duke of Haumllton’s ir, Gouvernall and Capitaliste, who have peen traincd by M. Dawson, at Newmarket, arrived at Chantilly on Friday afternoon, an both looked the picture of health. M. Schickler’s Suzerain also looked remarkably weil, and after Geophobe's victory in the Prix de lEmpere in three to one, taken freely. Predestiné bandage, and was never once dan pus in the race, Count de Lagrange’s Gondolier looked very well and was fancied by his party. About half-past three o’ciock, belng about haif an hour after the ap- pointed time, the nine competitors got away at the second attempt to a very good start, and soon after Passing (he sland Pietro went in front and made the circles, | running till about a quarter of a mile from home, when he was passed by S Fordham brought out won M, uzerain and Gondolier, and Suzerain at the distance and bicker his first Derby, ‘The pace was very bad ail the way, and the Duke of Hamiitou’s Gouver- nail evidentiy could not stay. On returning to weigh M.

Opening of the Season at the London Grounds Good Company and a Romantic Situstion— The First Match—The Australian Abcriginal Eleven—Lauding of the Players from the tipodies. - Lonpon, May 20, 1868, ‘The clear skies, the bright sunshine and the intense heat of the past few weeks rebuke the universal mis- representations of English weather. 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 daya 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 I 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 racquet courts are close at hand in the club build- ing. There is @ 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- bene and bly; and this fact, as well as the ex- lence of the games there, has given Lord’s a world wide reputation, ‘This cricket’ season commenced on the 11th of May with @ match between the Marylebone Club and the Royal Artillery, in which the Marylebone was easily successful. club is nearly seventy-five qn old, numbers over six hundred subscribers and has played filty-tour years on this ground. Among its effective members are some of the finest amateur cricketers in the world, and many professionals are attached to it. On the 14th the annual match between the Royal Artillery and the Household Brigade was played, and ended iu a draw after two days’ batting. ‘he spectators were the élite of London. Yesterday the third match of the season between the Maryle- bone Club and the Colts of All jland—the Colts being professionals who had never played in London before—ended by the signal defeat of the Colts, who were beaten at every point, and scored less on their two than the Marylebone on one.

ELEVEN ABORIGINAL BLACK AUSTRALIANS V8, ELEVEN GENTLEMEN OF SURREY CLUB.—No truer test of the interest taken by the public in the per- formance of this team from the antpodes can be aiforded than that of seven thousand persons con- gregated at the Oval yesterday, when the first match of a series projected to be played in the three king- doms came off, Many and confused were the ideas entertained respecting these aboriginals, both as re- rds their cricketing acquirements and their phys- ical conformation. They represent the colonies of Victoria, Queenstown, South Australia aud N Zea- land. Their hair and beards are long and wiry; their skins vary in shades of blackness, and most. of them have broadly expanded nostrils, but they are ali of the true Austrailan type. Having been brougit up in the bush to agricultural pursuits under European settiers they are perfectly civilized and are quite familiar with the English language. As most of their names are olysyllabic, and “not very euphonious, each has Sg a soubriquet under which he wiil doubtlessly be recognized in this country. Untortunately, the best man of the party was absent through iiness, In order that the lookers on might be abie to recognize each man, a sash differing in color was adixed to his shirt. Ata quar- a twelve piay commenced, and as the two leading Surrey batsinen approached the wickets the blacks received them with vociferous Rigen? Mul- jagh and Lawrence were the bowlers at starting. At 28 the first wicket (Mr. Nobie’s) feli, and at 42 Mr. Jupp was cleverly stumped by Bullocky. From the tenth to seventeenth over only one run was effecied, ‘The bowling after this went of and the score ad- vanced with great rapidity. At the fall of the fifth wicket 124 runs were recorded in favor of Surrey. Mr. ey goed Was the chief scorer and kept his wicket intact for three hours and a quarter.” The innings closed at quarter past five, Four bowlers were en- gaged. Lawrence bowied 49 overs (s maidens); 99 rans were got off him ullagh 62 overs (20 maidens), 100 runs; Bullocky, 6 overs (1 maiden), 14 runs; King Cole, 9 overs (2 maidens), 16 runs. ‘The biacks conmuenced batting at six 0 at seven four of their wickets were down fi Mull “Na lage locky, b, Lawrence.

First Concert of the Season—Dodworth’s Band in Full Accord=A Splendid Day— Thousands of Spectators Present. The crowds which were drawn to the Park yester- day, on foot and in vehicles, to inaugurate the musi- cal season, Were not to be numbered by hundreds or measured by thousands.

The Slave Trade on the White Nile-British Reporte—Statements of the Viceray. (From the Pall Mall Gazette, May 21.) A competent Minister in Lord Malmesbury’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 to certain pages of the Slave Trade Blue Book with sort of taunt of ignorance or negligence, he woul have been eager to do justice to maligned and toa useful English public servant and wi Nave 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 slav@ 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 pariias mentary rs, but that @ limited number is de> osited at the paper office of each house, to be give (0 any member who asks for one. It is quite proba- le, ceneesee the Duke of St. Albans had no knowledge of the Blue Book to which Lord Malmes- bury referred him.

Mr. Reade, in the disguise of an Arab, visited @ number of slave markets in Cairo and Tantah. Im the former city he saw between two hundred and fifty and three hundred; there would have been 8,000 on sale there, but the greater number had been re+ moved to Tantah for an approaching fair. At Tantah he saw between five and six hundred, but be« eves the total number there on sale to have beem about two thousand.

Saulter, a German missiona ut Khartoum, and from the Prussian consular agent and the Austrian vice consul at Khartoum. The ons from the two last are forwarded to by Mr. Petherick, who was formeriy English consul at Khartoum, and whose treatmeng by the Foreign Ofice, before Lord Stanley was Foreign Mintsier, is described in a letter addressea by him to Earl Russell, dated January 27, 1604, aad printed in the Siave Trade Blue Book, Class B, pres sented to Parliament im 1865. ‘The Egyptian Vicgroy openly rejoiced, in addressing the deputation of tha British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, on the ter« mination of Mr. Petherick’s consulate; and thet could be no better testimony than this to the value o! Mr. Petherick’s services. Mr. Petherick was abrupuy told, in a short despatch of Earl Russell of October 3, 1868, that there was no further need for the hartoum Consulate. Mr, Petherick replied To the detriment of my interests as a merchant I hat allowed no opportunity to escape me tn order to carry. instructions relative to the siave trade to the fail exte of my capabilities; and in consejnence I seized slaves of one of my own boats and sent the delinquent handeuffed to Khartonm for rial by the proper authority, o| which I dul vised her Majeaiyia acent at Alerancities’ Another pai ling under the British flag, men employ Michael Allah, 1 also accused of capturing slaves ‘been disminsed by the without @ remark or Jnquiry on. the part of her ment, although tte tay hae beet tained, Ni In these instances, as Upon every other occasion when enere Fetle and high ‘ a ‘haven support was required, I have naturally beedk Blighted by the local authorittes and ridicuted by the slave traders.
