UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT—IN BANKRUPTCY, Question as to Time for Filing Objections to a Bankrupt’s Discharge and Examination of Witnesses. In the Matter of Isaac Seckendorf.—This case has been before Register Ketchum, and was certifled by him to Judge Blatchford. The facts are as follows:—The petition was filed November 21, se7, and the first meeting of creditors was held on return of the warrant, January, 30, 1808, when this creditor made proof of bis claim, On the 3d of March order was made, on application of ‘the creditor's attorney, for examination of the bank- Tuptand his wife, and the respective attorneys at- tended from time to time and by consent adjourned ‘without examination seven days in March, eight days in April and five days in May, the last the 19th of ‘May, when the bankrupt not appearing, nor his wife, adjournment was made by the Register to the 26th of May. On the 18th of March the bankrupt obtained order to show cause, &c., returnable the 20th of April, On the 15th of May this crelitor filed notice of ap- arance in opposition, the bankrupt’s attorney be- ing present and saying that he did not object, but gave no consent thereto, and both attorneys then consented to postpone the said examination to the 19th of Ma: mm the 1th of May this creditor filed his objections to the bankrupt’s discharge. On the 26th of May the bankrupt’s present attorney first a ared, and, showing his substitution as such, he o! ection in writing to the examination of the bank- rupt and his wife—first, because the time to examine ‘witnesses had expired, the bankrupt rene applied for his discharge; second, tiiat the time allowed to Mile objections of the creditor had expired, The bankrupt has not attended or taken the oath under the twenty-ninth section, nor has the assignee made return as to assets, nor have any proofs of publica- tion of notice to show cause, &c., been flied, No- ting was done by the bankrupt on the 20th of April required then for his discharge, and proceedings were then, after filing notice of appearance in oppo- sition by another creditor, adjourned without day. On the above facts the Reg'ster states that he is of opipion that the adjournments me ned kept open the time for appearance fn opposition and for filing objections and for making the examinations before ordered. Upon the whole question, as embraced in the above, Judge Blatchford decides as follows :—“The adjourn- ment-without day, on the zoth of April, of tie pro- ceedings under the petition for discharge, terminated these proceedings so far as any action under the or- der to show canse against the petition was con- cerned. ‘The petition for discharge remains good, but nothing can be done under it uniess a new order to show cause is issued. ‘Phe creditor who filed the objections to the discharge was not called upon to file them when he did, but they may stand as prop- erly filed under the petition for discharge, All the creditors who shall have proved their debts will have a new day for tiling their objections under the new order to show cause. ‘The time to examine witnesses ‘has not expired, an‘ the tine to fite objections to the discharge should be kept open by adjourning any day which may be fixed for sowing cause against a dis charge until a fail, reasonab'e opportunity is afforded for the examination of the bankrupt and his wife and other witnesses, if such examination is desired.” UNTED STATES DISTAICT COURT—CAIMINAL CALENDAR, Violation of the Internal Revenue Law. Before Judge Blatchford, The United States vs. Janes McDermott ant Pat- rick Connolly.—The prisoners in this case were in- dicted jointly with Edward Cosgrove for working a distill in making whiskey in the basement of Cos- grove's house in Clinton place. Cosgrove was tried and convicted in the Circuit Court in the April term, and the defendants in the present case, being opera- tives in Cosgrove's employment, were yesterday given in charge to ajury. The case at the trial of Cosgrove ‘was fally reported in the HERALD at the time, and the same testimony was given for the prosecution of Uiose two men. Mr. Spencer, in compiiance with the assigninent of Judge Benedict, defended the risoners, and contended that being humble day la- orers, without knowing that they were concerned in an illegai act, they were entitled to the considera- ion of the court and jury. Mr. Phelps sainmed up for the government, the judge charged and the jury after a brief absence frou court returned with a ver- dlict of guilty. Another Internal Revenue Case. The United States vs. Ira Barbet—In this case the defendant was indicted on a charge of having car- ried on the business of a cigar and tobacco manufac- durer at 540 Pearl street in November, 1866, without “paying the special license tax required by law. Evi- dence was given to prove that cigars and tobacco were seized on the premises and that the defendant had not paid the tax, ‘The defence was that Mr. Barber was amagent for the sale of machinery used in the manufaciure of cigars, and not a mannfaciurer, Iu the exposure and sale of those maciunes it was necessary that he hould have tobacco in the raw state and cigars tn Unished state to show the operation of this ma- ry in the mane are of cigars, Mr. Phelps 1 up for tie on, the jn charged, the jury held a brief ullation aud rendered a ver- dict of guilty. SUPREME COUNT—CENERAL TERM. The Fernando Wood LeasesRip Van Wine kle’s Sleep in the Courts, and a Singular “Mistake” Discovered on Awakening—The Appen! from the Order Settling Issues=-The Tribunal of “Sublime” Faculties. Before Judges Barnard, Sutherland and Cardozo, The Meyor, &c., vs. Fernando Wood et ai.—This case came before this court this morning on an ap- peal from an order made by Mr. Justice Cardozo Bettling the issues inthis suit to be tried before a yposed that the appeal had sed last week on the occasion when, in of Mr. Williams’ illness, it was believed the court had declined to grant a postponement. It W appears that the matter dismissed last week Wn appeal in an injunction case, Mr. O'Gorman appeared this morning and argued ui from the order framing issues, The suit t by the city to annul a lease entered into be'ween the defendant (Wood) and the city, on the ground that the passage of the resolution of the Com- Mon Council directing the leaves to be drawn was ob'ained by fraud and corruption, the complaint alleging that, in 1865, “negotiations were entered W fnio between the said Wood and the per- @on then bemg the Mayor of said city, and with divers persons then being members of said Common — Council, and among other corrapt and fraudulent arrangements entered into between them it was bargained and agreed be- ‘tween said persons and said Wood, that in case sata Pp # should pass the resolution directing the deases of the premises Nos, 115 and 117 Nassau street, and the Mayor sti such resolution, the id | othe then being persons then being members of jonid vote tn favor of the he sum of $21,000, to ve answer dented fr: 1 in securing t Common Council. The plaintiif n ed, and the court ait to the fury r ‘the defendant, Wood, agree hen being the Mayor of the city lution Was passea by i, holding that these were the only specific issues raised by the pleadings, ‘The Corporation Counsel led from this order on the ground that the issue first named was not the dasue raisedfby the o arrow ‘as the complaint charged that the agreement had | been entered into between the defendant Wood and the person then being the Mayor, with divers per- | gons then being members of the Common Council. Judge Camiczo expressed the opinion that this @ilegation was wholly indefinite, and that in order to frame an issue thereon it should specify with particular persons then being the members of the Common Council such agreement was entered duo. 1. only differed in degree from a@ broad alicga- tion that on agreement was entered into between the ceflendant and the persons then being the citizens of New York, and it was doubtful whether any chan- | cellor had ever framed an issue on 80 broad an alle- ation as that. Mr. O'Gorman admitted that it only differed in de- free from the illustration by the court, but the de- @ree was one having a very wide range. If the alle- @ation had been that a certain agreement had been entered into between the defendant and the persons composing the firm of Smith, Jones & Co., he con- Gidered that the allegation would then be sufficient @efinite upon which to frame an iasne as against ti rm. The complaint had « orth a general allega- ion of fraud against persons composing a designated ly, and by the fourth subdivision of the defend- ita’ answer the issue had n distinctly raised by e defendants’ denial of each aud every allegation in the complaint, or charging and aleging id in securing the passage of the resolution. The laintif asked the court to give the ald of a jury in jetermining the question of fraud as against all the artice converned; but the court tad in fact raise issue not raised by the pleadings. ssi Fi ozo stated that where iseues were asked med it was in the discretion of the court to ¢ only such issues as Were raised by the complaint, d upon which the conscience of the court desired be informed. After hearing such issues upon the jal the court could then in ite discretion tgke up nd hear the other issues in the pleadings, tt was jot his intention in pane these issues to confine he ape em if Stutene raised n the pleadings gene! were not wiable on the wes as framed . Mr. O'Gorman accepted the é: tion of the urt in regard to this principle, but etill held that ¢ iasues as framed were not raised by the pleadings, ie (Mr. O'Gorman) was desirous and anxious that he case should be it up and finally disposed before the courte. He had @ duty to ¢ citizens, and it should not he consid Sie." Weve; cw the ecceaes to ascies taas we Wood; om the contrary he desired thas Mr. NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNE in; the him and the iss on allegations mate against om ues raised, Therefore, as between Mr. Wood, with whom he was politicalty associated and the people he de- sired an impartial and equitable decision on the merits of the case, It was time that the litigation should be disposed of, as it had been al 80 often tried and decided by that great tribun: midst which decides upon sugh caseswith such sub- lime ignorance of the law and the facts. He meant the public press. ‘Mr. Shea, for the defendant Wood, then proceeded to tee upon the validity of the issues a3 set out in the pleadings, and claimed that the genera! issue, was the resolution passed or its passage obtained by fraud? was very properly and justly refused by the court in settling the issues. It was like Indicting and sending a man to trial before a criminal court for a crime not specified, and, when he was brought up before the jury, trying him upon any charge that might then be made against him. ‘The court siated that it did not desire to hear him upon this question, only upon the appealability of the order. ‘Mr. Shea then proceeded to argue at great length upon the question suggested by the court, claiming that the order agree’ from was an. interlocutoi one, and that all interlocutory orders remain judice wntil the tinal decree. This was an inierlocu- tory order, for the reason that it did not involve any part of the merits of the action, nor did it affect a substantial right of either party. It involved no merits, because it was in this action a matter of equitable cognizance by the court. It referred toa matter within the discretion of the court and was a merely a question of practice, and therefore involved none of the merits, It did not effect a substantial right, because @ ry could not be said to have a right to that which the court alone has the discretion to grant or withhold, At the conclusion of Mr. Shea’s argument the Corporation. Counsel replied briefly on the question of the right of appeal. The court reserved its decision. SUPREME COURT—CIRCUIT—PART |. Liability of Common Carriers—Suit for Mouey ‘Lost Against Adams Express Company. Before Judge Ingalis. Gerkin vs, Wm, B. Dinsmore, President, éc.—This is a suit brought against Adams Express Company for the recovery of $4,600, with interest from July 13, 1866. From the facts developed on behalf of the plaintiff it appears that on July 17, 1866, the plaintiff, then at Philadelphia, delivered to Adams Express Company, at their oMce in that city, a valise to be conveyed to New York. From plaintiff's evidence it also appears that at the time of delivery Gerkin asked the agent what the cost of sending the valise to New York city would be, and was told it would be fifty cents. The agent then asked whether its’ centents were valued at a sum excecd- ing $25, and plaintity replied that it con- tained $4,600 in money with other articles. He delivered the va'ise and gave the mt $5 to pay for its transportation, receiving as change a $2 bill and some fractional currency. and directing that the valise should be delivered to hy ep in this city. ‘The next day Gerkin arrived in New York and ob- tained his valise. On his way up town he observed that one of the straps was loosened, and going into a neighboring jeweller’s store proceeded to exal the valise, and found that the money had been ab- stracted. He accordingly instituted this suit for its recover; ‘The defendants deny every material allegation of the complaint, except the receipt of the valise from piaintif, and claim that the amount of ‘money med by the plaintiff to have been deposited in the valise was never so deposited, and that it is a very iinprobable theory that a person would place so large a sum in a valise for transportation by express waien he himself was about to proceed so soon to the bee destination, he court chagee the jury that it was for them to determine from the evidence whether they believed the plaintiff's statement of the case. They were not to consider, however, that he had misstated the facts or was pressing a fraudulent claim without they could so determine from the evidence, though if he had concealed from the company the fact that this large amount of money was contained in the valise he was not entitled to recover. If they found a verdict in his favor # would be for the sum of $5,204, ‘The jury then retired, the court directing a sealed verdict to be rendered this morning. SUPERIOR COURT—GENERAL TEAM. Actions Against the Corporation—The Juris- diction of the Saperior Court Defined. Before Judges Garvin, Monell and Jones, Jacod Bretz vs, The Mayor, éc.—This was an ap- peal taken from an order made at special term giving judgment for plaintlf, overruling demurrer of the defendants’ to plaintiff's complaint. The plaintiff claimed to recover damages for injuries sustained by, him on the 2d of December last, by reason of the defendants negligently leaving on the Eighth avenue openings in the streets and obstruc- tions, without signals er lights indicating danger, whereby plaintiff in the night time was thrown from his vehicle and received various bodily injuries. To this complaint the defendants demurred, assign- ing as the only ground that the Superior Court had no jurisdiction in the and contended that all actions against the corporation should be brought in the Supreme Court of the first judicial district. In support of this view counsel cited section 6 of chapter 586, Laws 1867. The plaintiffs counsei insisted, however, that the statute was private and local, and not being set out or referred to in the pleadings the court could not regard it. Judge Garvin, in rendering the decision of the court, observed that if the Superior Court had no on the demurrer must be sustained so far particular question had any influence upon its tion, But il for any cause the act itself or the en- actment was unconstitutional then the decision made by the court at special term was right, The clause provided that all actions against the Corporation shall be brought in the Supreme Court, which should have exclusive jurisiiction of such actions, The Legislature intended to effect two objects—first, to confer exclusive jurisdiction on the Supreme Court; secondly, t sol ered take from every other court in the State the judicial power to entertain any action wherein the Cor York were defendants, ration of the city of New t was essentially public and private in its objects. It had been held that an act local in its provisions might con- tain @ section which was ha in its char- acter as contradistinguished from a private or local act; nor could it be said that an enactment referring to one class of criminal cases was a public act and another in regard to civil cases was a public act, when each act presented a rale by which parties and courts were to be governed, This court must take judicial notice of the act bringing it into exist- ence, detining its powers and ali the acts enlarging or restricting its jurisdiction. It seems quite c ear that the clause of the section under consideration was om statute, and being a public statute there could be no doubt about its constitutionatity. The application of those principles to the case con sideration was obvious, and the order below should, therefore, be vacated and judgment ordered for we deiendants on the demurrer. SUPREME COURT- ‘This court will be heid in the chamber of the Board of Counctimen, City Hall building, for the remainder of the term. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—TRIAL TERM—PART 2. Assault and Battery and Alleged Robbery. Before Judge Daly, Wolfe Burkine vs. Wolfe Silverstine.—This was an action to recover damages alleged to have been sustained by plaintiff on the 11th of September last, when, as he complains, he was quietly walking through Baxter street, and was violently seized by defendant, knocked down and robbed of $500. The defence set up a general denial of the allegations, Verdict for the defendant. COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. Alleged False Pretences. Before Recorder Hackett. ‘The trial of Edmund Franck, charged with obtain- ing goods by false pretences, was resumed yesterday. Counsel for the defense examined Theodore and Fiile Frank (brothers of the accused), Aaron Block (brother in law) and Mrs. Block, ail of whom testified to a different state of facta from that sworn to by the Witnesses for the prosecution. From their testimony eemed that in December, 1866, there was from 000 to $30,000 worth of goods in their Galveston eetablishtient, which were seized by Mr, Rosenfield (the complainant) and other creditors and gold, al- though they were told that business was dull and Frank & brother expected that merchants at the North would extend the time of their notes; also that the defendants were extensive manufacturers of soap, perfumery and distillers of whiskey since 1861, Block stated that Rosenfield not only attached and gold the goods in the store at Galveston, but received $1,500 from him to release the is in the San An- tonio store; that when Simon Frank (the father) and bd tr a were in the Tombs Rosenfield threatened th if he did not get $1,000 from an indictment found, which he post- hen recalled by District Attorney had dealings with Frank & Brother for and probably would trast them again. be concluded to-day, COURT CALENDARS—THis Day.

Boy CrusHeD TO DEATH.—Coroner Flynn was notifed to hold an inquest yesterday over the re- mains of William Connolly, aged six years, whose parents live at 153 Varrick street, who died yester- oar in consequence of his head being crusied on Friday by being run over by one of Moller'’s sugar tracks. The driver is understood to be not at fault. Littte Girt DrowNeD.—On Friday last Mary Weigel, a little girl nearly eight years of age, whose parents live at 420 First avenue, while at play on the pier foot of Twenty-fifth street East river, fell throuzh a hole in the pier into the water beneath and was drowned, ‘The body was subsequently recovered and taken to the residence of the parents, where Coroncr Flynn was notified to hold an inquest, AccrpeNT aT Hok’s MACHINE SHOP.—Yesterday afternoon George Bell, the engineer at R. Hoe & Co.’s machine shop, at Sheriff and Broome streets, was badly scalded by the giving way of a valve in the boiler. His face and arms, and a portion of his body, were seriously injured. He was taken to his resi- dence at No. 11 Shertif street, where his injuries were promptly attended to. They are not considered dangerous. A fireman who was standing near was slightly scalded by the steam and hot water. ‘Tie CouRSE OF STUDIES IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.— Another session of the joint committee of the Board of Education having charge of the complaints in regard to the overcrowding of the schools and ever- working of the teachers and pupils was heid last evening at the hall of the Board, ‘and addresses were made by school superintendents Harrison, Calkins and Jones and Messrs, Scott, Hunter, Ken- nard and Carlisie, and Misses Sims and Loveridge. ‘Tue session occupied ony five hours, but no points other than those elicited at previous sessions were made in the arguments, PERSONAL.—J.

The following ofMcers were unanimously re- elected: Cornelius Vanderbilt, President; Willlam H. Vauderbilt, Vice President; Augustus Schell, Sec- retary. ‘Tuk New STEAMSHIP ALASKA.—Yesterday morning the fine new steamship Alaska, belonging to the Pa- cific Steamship Company, started from pier 43 North river on the engineer's trial trip. This vessel is a sister ship and of the same class as the Japan and Henry Chauncey, and is in her appearance and work- ing in every respect equal to her compeers. The morning was remarkably fine for tne trip, although a little lowering at first, and as soon as she got under way this maynificent specimen of shipbuilder’s skill careered down the bay at full speed, “walking the water like a thing of life.” Staten Island was qickly at. and the Narrows, narrowed into Pillars of Tercules in the distance, and then a tour was made of the lower bay, the lightship rounded, and the Alaska returned to her pier about three o’clock in the afternoon, having been out some six hours. Of course a dejetiner was provided on board, and a numerous company, among whom were the principal engineers and machinists interested in the ma- chinery of the vessel, Seated yed the trip and pronounced the working of the ship a complete suc- cess. The machinery of the Alaska was constructed at the Novelty Iron Works and is of a very superior description. Her eugineer is Mr. Robertson, and he managed the engines on the trip himself, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CHARGE OF BURGLARY.—James Ryan was early yesterday morning overhauled by a policeman as he was coming out of No, 98 Broome street, which place, it is alleged, he had broken into, and when captured was making off with his booty, consisting of a quantity of cigars and nickel coin. Judge Shandley, of the Essex Market Police Court, before whom he was taken, held him to answer a charge of burglary. SENDING A THREATENING LeETTER.—Two weeks ago last Saturday a young man named Henry Jen- kins was arrested on the charge of sending a threat. ening letter to Mr. Reuben Swan, doing business at No, 328 Broadway, with the view of extorting the sum of $50 from him. The writer of the letver threat- ened that in case the money was not promptly paid over he would divulge certain matters alleged to reflect discreditably upon Mr. Swan. 1’ f dation, however, did not have the desired effect, and when Jenkins delivered the second letter an officer was on hand and arrested him. The prisoner Was subsequently tried and convicted before the Court of Special Sessions and sentenced to serve four months in the Penitentiary. Since then facts have transpired which show that Henry Wilson, a young tan well known in the Bowery, is the really ey arty. He was accordingly arrested by oficer rett, of the Tombs Court squad, and confessed his guilt, The tables were thus turned, and Justice Dowling committed Wilson to the Tombs for trial. ‘The relatives and friends of Jenkins will now make ML hg effort to secure his pardon by Governor ‘enton. THE DELANCEY STREEFT STABBING APFAIR.—Thomas Quinn, @ young man said to belong to the Street Commissioner’s Department, was yesterday arrested on a charge of stabbing Thomas Hughes on Sunday evening, in the house No. 2 Delancey street, as re- Zoe in yesterday's Henaip. He was brought be- ‘ore Judge Shandiey, at the Essex Market Police Court, and held to await the result of Hughes’ in- juries, who is still confined in the City Hospital, He refused to make any statement of the affair, either in der of his guilt or otherwise, Accord: to the mony of the female inmates of the house he visited the place in company with three other pang, men, when a dispute ,arose between meelf and Hvenes, Which ended in his stabbing the latter in five places—twice in the neck, once in the shoulder, once in the arm and once in the groin. None, however, happily, according to the statement of the hospital surgeon, are likely to prove fatal. The testimony before the magistrate exon- erated Quinn's o®sociates from any implication in the affair. A BROKER ARRESTED ON A CHARGE OF GUILTY PossBSsiON OF STOLEN Bonpe.—On the 25th of June, 1867, the dwelling of Mr. Jacob Miller, in Union county, N. J., Was entered by burgiars, who bound the family hand and foot and afterwards succeeded in escaping with $7,000 worth of bonds, consisting of one $1, nion ret bond, four $1,000 Elizabeth city bonds, two $1,000 Rahway bonds and two gold watches vail fat $250. Quite recently a broker named Crane sent one of the missing bonds to Union county for redemption, when it was discovered that the numbers had heen altered from 44 to 144, and the bond was identified by Mr. Miller as his property,, Crane was then called on, and he stated that he had received the bond from Joseph B. Chap- man, of 22 Broad street, and a broker, who was isited on Friday by Captain Young and Detective ng, of the Cegtral oMce. Chapman admitted having had the boad in his possession, and exhibited ich he had loaned om all the stated came to him on the Phila- deiphia, with a recomenda¥ion tro:m’a friend of bis, and procured the loan on the bonds, which had been hypothecated by Chapman aiter a lapse of some months, He was arrested, and yesterday brought beore Justice Dowling at the Tombs, who remanded him fér examination to-day. Chapman claims to have p the bonds in open business, THE W:DEMNG OF BROADWAY. A Discussion of the Project by Property Owners Immediately Interested. A meeting of the standing Committee on Street Openings of the Board of Common Council, to whom was referred several weeks ago the project of widening Broadway from Seventeenth street to Fifty-ninth street, was held yesterday afternoon at three o'clock, im the Council Cham- ber, for the purpose of hearing further argu- ments pro and con in reference to this proposition. A number of the property owners on the line of the intended project were in atiendance. Councilman Hart, of the Twelfth ward, presided. GEORGE W. PELL spoke as follows in reference to the proposition :—The subject of widening Broadway has been so fully discussed at previous meetings that I purpose to submit the following points with- out comment; First—The almost unanimous opposition of property owners op the line of the proposed widening. Second—The enor- mous assessment whioh such widening, if carried into effect, would entail upon such owners, not only without benefiting them, but actually causing them a serious injury. Third—The bestowal,of property so taken from rightful owners upon future railroad corporators, Fourth—%o dis- turbing the present ownership as to render it almost impossible to make the lots as unifd®m as they are at the present time, Fifth—The division of the property by such widening into angles, triangles and gore lots. Sixth—Rendering the property less valuable for business purposes by increasing the width of the said street. Seventh—The disturbance of the busi- ness of the street for perhaps many years to come, compelling it to seek other channels of accom- modation. JoHN.M. Dopp remarked that the streets were already wide enough, and would pass thirteen thou- sand persons in three hours from the Park, without going west of Ninth or east of Fourth avenue, It was safe to say that no more space was needed. Any real public improvement was for the benefit of every one. This, however, was not an improvement. Wide streets were never likely to be valuable for business purposes. East Broadway was once a business thoroughfare, but what is it now? A lot on Nassau street today was worth three lots on Broad street, below Exchange place. West Broad- way was widened thirty years ago, and only about five hundred feet of improvement was now visible on the broadened section. If a wide street were valuable for business why did not the people find this out for the Bowery and do something for it? It had never been like some of the narrower streets. A drive was ruinous to the dry goods business on account of the dust. He would rather help to raise the amount needed to keep the street as it was. About one-third of the isiand was already taken up by the streets of the city. Mr. SHIEFFELIN stated that he owned sixty lots above Ninetieth strect, three lots on the corner of Broadway and Sixty-eighth street and one to the rear of Sixty-eighth street, all of which would be affected by the proposed assessment, he resolution introduced by the President of the Board was to widen Broadway 150 feet on the easterly side from Union square to Filty-ninth street. It would cer- tainly be a public convenience to widen this street there, as it also would to widen it from the Buttery to Union square. It would also be a public con- venience to widen Nassau street and also many others; but business would thereby suffer, Spruce street was once a good business thoroughfare until it was wideved from Nassau to Gold streets, le roads would soon be run along Fifth avenue, and in less than two years would be on Broadway. Mr. ROMAIN remarked that the opposition to this project came only from those immediately affected, and not from the merchant princes below Seven- teenth street. Churca street had been selected for the dry goods business because of the dryness of the soil there. Caual street merchants were now going up town, after amassing fortunes there, and were seeking out wide thoroughfares. If railroads were to be placed on Broadway, and could noc be pre- vented, the best plan would be to provide room for them. From Thirty-fifth street up he was sure it would not meet with so much opposition. Fifth ave- nue was now overcrowded, and if this widening were eifected it would draw off much of this surplus travel. He was sure that those aifected would be paid dollar for dollar the worth of beet den . He owned lots on the Boulevard, Forty-third and Charch streets, It was known that owing to the streets in London and Liverpool the atmosphere there was poisoned by the breathings of an overcrowded popu- lace. Wide streets were therefore needed, especially as the public squares would soon be occupied for business purposes. A party interested remarked that he had before presented a remonstrance of individuals above Thirty- fifth street against this project. . Mr. ANDEKSON Claimed that the Common Council had no power over this question according to a re- cent decision of the Supreine Court, H. M. SHIEFFELIN sald he was the owner of 220 feet fronting on Broadway, between T'wenty-seventh and Thirtieth streets, and objected to the widening of Broadway for the following reasons:—It will diminish its vaiue for business purposes, as has been found to be the case in all very wide streets, witness Bowery, New Bowery, Canal street and West Broadway. ‘The occupation of the east side of Broadway for business purposes was kept back thirty years after that of the west side by the comparatively small space at the end of the City Hall Park, and many will recollect that the lamp post in the middle of that space was used as a place of refuge to avoid being run over be- fore the cars were stationed there. Mr. RicuMonD remarked that the widening pro- posed was asked for by those who were not owners of property on the line, Business would be greatly jeopardized by the proposed alteration. He owned ut one lot on Broadway, yet he did not consider it necessary to destroy his wy ag pe rnkd in order to make it a Boulevard, hey hi Log of ave- nues, north and south, connecting with the Boule- vard and with the Park, and it required no other improvement to give citizens all the eer, they wanted of driving out and to give ali the accommo- dation needed for travelling northward, A remonstrance of parties on Broadway, represent- ing 1,369 feet on that street, was here presented, A map was left forthe consideration of the com- mittee, made by direction of property owners of Broadway, between Forty-fifth and Fifty-eighth streets. large number of property owners in that section desired ave Broadway widened from Fifty-ninth to Forty-sixth street and the junction of Seventh avenue. They did not desire, however, to make it one hundred and fifty feet wide. ‘The proposition was to make Broadway parallel with Seventh avenue. The ) ea width would be one hundred and twenty-five feet. The distance from Broadway to Seventh avenue was ninety-three feet in some places and seventy feet in others. The object ‘was to make square fronts on both sides. JouN A. HAMMOND Said that ninety-nine persons out of every one hundred of those who own property on the line of this proposed improvement were in favor of widening Broadway from Thirty-fifth to Fifty-ninth street. He had conversed with e person he had met since the inception of the project ‘and he had not met the first owner Bh who op} it. The opposition was confined to those who owned propert y on the line of the improvement. The public nealth demanded wide streets, though this object might be effected without stagnating busi- neas. ‘The question of width had very little do with the trade of astreet. Fifth avenue and a way were what they were because the current of wealth and fashion had struck them. It was the travel of the latter street which made it what it was, Cutting new avenues between the streets would not avail. Then, instead of having fifteen or twent prose owners, they would have five thou hey would be not more than duplicates of Sixth and Eighth avenues and of the others. Broad- way and Eignth avenue were the only streets that went to the cousral peta’ of the city. He remarked that he, himself, not own any property on the line of this project The committee here adjourned, not deeming it necessary to hold another meeting on the subject.

The examination of the ‘graduating class was resumed to-day, the subjects of the catechising being mineralogy and geology. As has been the case at all the previous sessions of the Board of Examiners, there were present during the proceedings @ large number of visitors, The class showed great pro- ficiency in the study of both subjects, and more especially in mineralogy. Many of the conclusions arrived at by some of the cadets in regard to the period when man frst made his @ppearance on -earth, and the early forma- tions of the various strata that to make up the component parts of this “vile terrestrial sphere,’”’ may not have been, in every respect, strictly in accordance with Darwin’s theories; but they seemed very satisfactory to the learned professors who are supposed to know all about the matter, and 80 Darwinites may feel sorry, and try to be happy—if they can.

THE BOAT RACE. The boat race, which was postponed last Saturday, took place to-day and was the occasion of quitea turnout of ladies and gentlemen from the hotels to witness it. The course pulled over extended from a Point near Washington Valley to the railroad bridge opposite Gee’s Point and back, a distance of about two and @ quarter miles. The first class en- tered one six-oar lap streak shell and the TOSCwanE crew:—Bow oar, Snow; second, Thom son; third, Willey; fourth, GF, Roe; fifth, Rodman; sixth, G. M. Harris, The second class entered a six-oar shell boat with the follow- ing crew :—Bow oar, W. F. Smit H. TL. Harris; third, Ri oN. Price} Rea; fifth, Nye; sixth, Lease tate second class also entered a six oar hsht barge, with crew as follows First, Taylor; second, Augur; third, Lyle; fourth, Leggett; fifth, Braden; sixth, Carter (stroke); Miller, coxswain. ‘The third class ‘entered a four oar shell, with the following crew:—Bow oar, Greene; second, Reed; third, Chapin; fourth, Ho- mer (stroke). The boat of the third class was allowed seventeen seconds, and the barge of the second class was to have been allowed thirty-seven seconds by the first class, the shell of the second class being allowed no time. Previous to the start and after @ consultation betwi the respective crews Generals Pitcher and Webb were chosen to act as judges and Colonel Michie and Mayor Dam- rell as referees. The Board of Visitors and a number of ladies and gentlemen were forta- nate enough to have had the little ferryboat West Point put at their disposal, from which a good view of the race was had, as weil as the pretty sight pre- sented by the various little boats that were incessant- ly darting about on the surface of the water, and the crowds of cadets scattered in little groups at inter- vals along the shore, their gray coats pleasantly re- lieved by the gay attire of their lady companions. All the boats started together, and ina few strokes the second class boat was about half a length ahead of most of the first class; but this distance was soon made up by the first class boat which, kept the lead to the end and came in in thirteen minutes and forty- 8ix seconds—twenty-cight seconds ahead of the third Class boat and sixteen seconds ahead of the second Claas boat—amid the most vociferous cheering on the oP of the spectators. The champion flag—a beauti- ul blue silk one—was then presented to the crew of the first class boat by General Webb in a neat speech. The barge did not enter the course. The tub race ensued, the following cadets catering for the fun:. Miler, Yeaton, Gerhard, Stedman, Williams, Shirley, Jerome, Townsend, Davenport, Goddard, Grant, Mumford, Forhance, Mott and A. H. Russell. Only three of the daredeviis reached the end o tthe Prescribed 100 yards, the others capsizing in the most grotesque attitudes, much to the merriment of the lookers on, The frantic efforts made by some of them to get into the tubs after they had been upset made the hills reverberate with shouts of laughter, and the unlucky ones had get to shore the best way they could, THE NEW CADETS.

DOMINGO. The Keactionary Forces at Work Against Baez—His Brether Held by the Haytien CacosInteresting Review of the Situa- tion—Dominicaa Speculators on Their Way to the United States, Sr. Dominao, May 20, 1868, Several Dominican generals recently made the island of St. Thomas @ rendezvous. Among them were Cabral, Luperon, Embert, Adon, Pina, Ricardo, Fernandez and Pimentel. They concerted a pian of operations against Baez. The result was that ex- President Cabral satied for Jacmel May 15 on board the English steamer. He is to take command of the revolutionists along the southern frontier—in San Juan, Neyba, Las Matas, Cercao, Barahona, &c. The chieftains Timsteo and Andres Ogando, Sico Moreno, Damian Castillo and Mariano Rodriguez sent a young man namea Abelard Dubreuil through Haytien terrt- tory to meet General Cabral, Baez and his partisans, as well as Cazneau, represent that this movement in the south is in favor of President Salnave. This is like what such would report to carry out their own schemes, General Luperon went to Turks Island so as to operate against the north of this republic—the pro- vinces of Cibao—whither the people call him as thelr leader. He will there meet Generals Palanco, Alvarez and many others who await his arrival to pronounce against General Baez. General Pimentel is to go from Curagao in com- pany with General Castillo, Linares, Valverde and others to operate against Seybo and St. Domingo provinces, in which neighborhood they are to meet the brave General Manzueta, whom Baez has been unable to put down, either with threats or pro mises or by the imprisonment of his family. He kept in the vioinity of Llamasia, a district in St. Do- mingo province, and never ceased fighting the Baezists. General Baez does not know how to get his govern- ment into working order, a3 the employés resign almost immediately after Anema ey all regard Baez’s government as illegal and tory, and no one is willing to compromise himself there- with, This is the reason why Sefer F. M. Delmonte has not accepted the portfolio that Baez has tendered him, Tg he has been urged and besought to accept it. By letters from St. Thomas.we have learned that the Cacos hold Carios Baez a prisoner. He was on his way to Sainave’s government for the purpose of selling that portion of Duininican territory bounded onthe south by the Rio Yaqui, This sale was the condition by which Baez agreed with Salnave’s Min- ister, Delorme, for the aid which the latier would give in overturowing Cabrai. The western portion oi the isiand, the Haytien side, has no savannas nor pasture lands to raise cattle. From the Rio Peder- haies, Whence the dividing line ‘goes, according to the Aranjuez treaty of 1777, to the Kio Yaqui there are magnificent bays, which the Haytiens have always coveted without ever having taken the measures to secure so valuable a portion of our island. To fulfil this part of his engagements Buea has had to mutilate our constitution by dropping the’ article which points out the limits of the republic a@ well a8 the clause which creates the office of Vice President. Baez wants absolute power, and as the constitution of 1865 13 very liveral and con- trolled the President's action while it abolished the death ity in political cases, he has substituted the constitution of 1854, which makes him master aud lord over the Dominicans and iiaposes capital punishment for politic! offences. ‘This same substitution he attempted in 1865, when he camego power, but before he could carry it out he was overthrown and had to take refuge in the French Consulate. Baez has also presented to Con; a bill of his expenses during the revolution that has just broughé him to power, but out of decorum they have not made public the amount. The following is the only, allusion to it made in the reply of Congress to the President’s :—tAs to the detailed accounts of the revolutionary outlays which have been pre- sented by the worthy General Buenaventura they are enttrely approved, as well as the agreem enteréd into with Seijores J. A. Jesurun & Zoons. of the neighboring island of Curagoa, which amounts to $87,145 80, which is approved in all its tenor and conditions.” So many documents and mi by Baez in the names of Jesurun, Fabel will be secured and Cazneau that, even if ay peninsula of Samana were sold for ten times its value, the proceeds could not liquidate all the claims that he will have on the treasury of the republic. In connection with this trio of specu- lators it is very positively asserted here that Jesurum and Fabens are authorized by Baez to raise a loan of fetes in the United States, on account of Sam: ‘his money is needed to improve Baez’s situation, a& Jeast until such time as the bay and peninsula of Samana can be disposed of for good. I do not think these rumors can be well found as Jesurun and Fabens leit here on April and Baez was inaugurated only on May 2. The Boletin Oficial of that date attacked such a pee and brought severe charges inst ex-Presit Cabral for having sought to alienate Saman&. What is certain, however, is, that whatever engagements those gentlemen make in the United States are null and of no validity, as they are hot authorized bya government legally constituted. Baez has been pro- claimed by a faction who overthrew Cabral without electing ez in a constitutional manner th popular suffrage, as the constitution then in force re- uired. The latter has seated himself in the Presi- dential chair in spite of the will of the majority, and has imprisoned, exiled and persecuted the most dis- tinguished citizens of the repubiic. BROOKLYN INTELLIGENCE. Founp DROWNED.—The body of an unknown man was found floating in the water at the Atlantic dock yesterday morning. It was removed to the dead house. CigaR MAKERS’ PIcnic.—The members of the Cigar Makers’ Protective Union No. 87 proceeded to Pope's Park, in Gowanus, yesterday to enjoy a day of rustic recreation.
