The Grand Street and Porty- second Street Rauroad Company.—Plaintiff sues as guardian to recover $10,000 damages for injuries sustained by his child in consequence of the alieged negligence of the defendants’ servants. It appears that plaintit’s daughter, a child about two years of age, was on the 19th of July, 1865, injured by having ene of her fingers crushed in a manner that subse- quently necessitated amputation, the child having been, it appears, alone in non street, one of the defendants’ cars mutilated itehand. From the testi- mony of the child’s elder sister it seems that some children, inciuding the one injured, were playin, school, when the littie one ran away and reache the street. In playing on the street the child ran in front of the horses, and the driver called to it, but his warning was ‘unneeded, ana he failed to turn down the brake. The conductor ran to the forward part of the car and applied the brake, and the car ‘was checked just as it crushed the child's finger. The defence is a general denial of negligence, and an allegation of negligence on the pl@intit’s part in allowing the child to be in the strect unprotected. The case is adjourned untit Monday morning. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS, The Chicago and Northwestern Kailroad Company’s Litigation. Before Judge Ingraham. Howell & De Veau vs, The Chicago an& North- western Railroad Company et al.—This case came wp yesterday on the motion to continue the prelimi- nary injunction, enjoining the issue of preferred stock for the payment of, or as a means of paying, a dividend of ten per cent lately declared on the com- mon capital stock of the company. ‘The defendants claimed that under the laws of Hilinois and Wisconsin this power is conferred upon them, and was also vested in the corporations which were consolidated with the defendants, the same franchises and powers as were formeriy exercised by those vorporations being by the act of incurpora- tion especially cenferred upon the Chicago and Northwestern Rat!road Company.

Q. You stated in your report that npon opening the books it appeared that the capital of the firm was $800,000, and that Mr. Place was charged with | $600,000; and you make some insinuation in your report that it would seem as though that entry may have been made to give a fictitious credit to the firm, or a lictitious idea asto the capital. Are you fa- miliar with bookkeeping? A. I am, Q. Is it a strange thing to find an entry of that kind in books? A. 1 consider it is strange; if it is entered itis seen by the clerks; Mr. Place did not i pay interest upon the amount that had not been paid ; he paid interest upon the amount that was equivalent to the purported capital; I have been in Brown Brothers & Co.'s establisiment sixteen years, At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Shaffer put several questions relative to the routine of commercial houses, the answers to which do not seem to have a very material bearing upon the case. Q. What do you mean by this entry in your re- rt:—“This entry must have been made to give an idea that the capital was $800,000... To give the idea to whom? To anybody who looked at the | entry; it would give that idea to anyboly who looked at the entry; I did not mean to convey the idea that the entry was fraudulent or dishonest. afternoon from the synagogue of Shaaray Tefita in | > if ‘D, | persons, of whom this deficiency in capital was bor. nt of the it, and was covered with | reached | 'y Virtues of | fa jearse the cortege — ALLEGED FELONTOUS AS8AULT.—Peter Wilmot was | THROWN Down 4 FLIGHT OF STarrs.—Christian | In default of $5,000 bail Cinton | are received | | ante re Mr. Whitney here examined the witness—The japer I have produced is inthe handwriting of Mr. jurritt, or aman that he employed; in speaking of the payment of interest by the respective partners, | do not contemplate the payment of interest to third rowed; in contemplating it J simply refermed to the individual partners paying the interest to the firm, | and to all entries to that effect being made in the books; that being the case, it would make no cs- ‘ difference as to the facts as to the capital on and.

On the deciarations made by Wills the de- tectives arrested both Terry and Shannon, who were also arraigned before the magistrate and with Willis committed for examination, which wil! take place to-morrow. A MISSING BAYH CASHIER ARRESTED. Im thg early part of last spring the inhabitants of the flourishing litte town of Lyons, Wayne county, in this State, were taken somewhat by surprise at the sudden decampment of one Beardsley Van Alstyne, cashier of the banking establishment known as that of Westfali's Bank. For some years the establishment had enjoyed the confidence of the people in the vicinity as well as of those who resided in the town itself; but a short time pre- vious to last March Mr. Westfall disposed of his interest in the establishment, and it came into the hands of parties of whom Mr. Van Alstyne was one of the principal. Everything went on well until the 7th of last March, when it was discovered that the bank was closed and the prepossessing looking cashier was nowhere tobe found. Funds and principal manager had mysterious! Ge arpcerrs. ter in the same month Superintendent Kennedy was apprised of the affair by Mr. A. B. Warren, who had been considerable of agufferer by the transaction. The requisite inqui- ries were made, but no trace of the absconding cashier could be found. Last Tuesday, however, Mr. Kennedy received information that a man answering to the description of Van Alsiyne was arrested that morning in the city of Baltimore by the detectives there, After satisfying himself that the prisoner was the man sought, the Superintendent ordered him to be brought on here. ‘The prisoner arrived in this city yesterday. 1t has been ascertained that dls- astrous speculations drove him onto take the steps which he has taken, On leaving Lyons in March he came to this city and took steamer for Brazil, re- maining in that country only three days, when he took oamnee on board @ vessel and arrived in Balti- more last Tuesday, when he was taken prisoner by the police. On his person was found the sum of $3,757 in gold, a handsome gold watch and a dia- mond pin and ring. Mr. A. P. Warren hearin the arrest in Baltimore came to this city and attached toe re of the prisoner with a view of petting back some Of his lost property. It is said this gen- tleman has been a loser to the amount of $12,000, and he intends to commence civil proceedings im- mediately inst the accused. Yesterday Detective, Poutier, of Maryland, surrendered up the prisoner to the Superintendent of Police here and last even- ing he was forwarded to Wayne county for trial. BOARD OF COUNCILMEN.

Mr. LAMB offered a preamble and resolution direct- ing the appointment of a joint committee of five to make the necessary preparations for the celebration of our National Independence, and that the sum of $20,000 be appropriated for that purpose. ‘The PRESIDENT intimated that one portion of the resolution coukl be adopted at that time, but that part relating to the expenditure of money would have to lie over. Mr. STEPHEN ROBERTS Said that the approaching anniversary of our National Independence would be the most important of any preceding Fourth of July, for by that time the whole of the States would be represented in Congress, Besides, a great political party would hoid its national convention in this city on that day—an event which would bring forty or fifty thousand strangers to New York.

MURDER OR SUICIDE.— Yesterday morning the dead body of a man named George Schober was found lying at the foot of Cemre Hill, On the left side of his head there was a deep wound, apparently in- flicted by @ pistol bullet. Close by his side lay a six barrelled revolver, with five of the barrels loaded and the other one had been recently discharged. He has a brother-in-law residing in Highland avenue, who stated that he has not seen Schober for three weeks, and that the deceased usually carried with him a considerable sum of money, but there was not a cent in his possession when found. Thijs leads to the suspicion that Schober has been murdered for sake of his money and that the revolver was laid at his side to prevent suspicion, Many are of opinion, however, that he committed suicide, as the place in which he was found is not on the route to his brother-in-law’s, and it was five o'clock in the morning when the report of the pistol was heard by persons living near the scene of the occurrence.

RIvas, May 26, 1868, The public mind in Nicaragua continues to be greatly agitated on the subject of the dimeuities be- tween the government and the Central American Transit Company and which have led to the temporary abandonment by the Company of the Nicaragaan route to California. The withdrawal of the steamers from this route haa caused great dissatisfaction among the Nicaraguan people with the government for refusing on insuficient grounds to fulfil their contract with the company, and there has been such an emphatic expression of public opinton on the subject that the President has thought it pru- dent to dispense with the services of the Minister on whose representations the course was decide upon which led to the rupture between the govern- ment and the American transit company. This is regarded but as preliminary to other steps on the part of the government looking to a pppoe, and satisfactory settlement of the diMculty and the return of the steamers on their regular trips. It is claimed by the defenders of the company that the government of Nicaragua has no power to annul the company's charter while no proof of bad faith exists, and it 1s contehded that no such proof has been adduced, In an able letter, published recently in a local pape, Mr. Rosa Perez, one of the most prominent and in- fluential citizens of Nicaragua, #hows that, taking into account all the adverse circumstances under which the company has labored in carrying out its con- tract, everything that could reasonably be expected has been done by that corporation in fulfilment of the terms of their charter, He maintains in his letter that the company does not cease to exist, even ifthe government of Nicaragua should have an in- tention of extinguishing it, seeing that it is an authorized association, existing an enactment of the State of New Jersey, organize: “maintained according to the laws of that State, and having its transit business in Nicaragua in thesame manner as any foreigner can do business here without losing his rights as a foreigner. He argues that the note of Mr. Ayon, the Minister, which has led to a sus- ension of the transit operations for the present, foes not bind the judgment nor the future action of the government, because the Minister does not make any declaration that the company has for- feited its rights; that the decree of - gress ought not to be considered as sentence of death against the company, but only as the concession of a discretionary power to the exe- cutive to act in the matter, in accordance with what might be rational and just; and that it cannot be ex- pected nor imagined that the government of Nicara- gua should deliberately violate all principles of jus- tice with the object of destroying the company. He demands a rigid examination of what the company has executed, and asks for a reform of the charter. “If up to the present tame,” he says, ‘ they have not been able to establish the transit according to the original intention, do not let us condemn the com- pany (pso facto; let us reflect that the enterprise ts not an ordinary or merely routine business, but one which requires the combined action of science, capt- tal and nature Itself. If the company stops a moment before great difficulties, ifin good faith and frank- ness they say what they need, it does not appear fair to give them fatal blows, but better assist them. I have observed that it is thus governments proceed; they do not consult with bookworm lawyggs-to deal with matters of gigantic national importance, but they place themselves on a ievel wherefrom they can reach and appreciate the consequences of their actions."” It ts significant that the government has repub- lished in the Oficial Gazette M, Peree’ letter in full, from which it would seem that they agree with his opinions. In fact, it is known that they have no in- tention of annulling the Transit Company's charter while no proof of bad faith exists, and there is every reason to believe that matters will soon be permantly settled and the transit reopened. It is admitted on all hands that a new contract is necessary, but the Nicaraguans are too much alive to the benefits to be reaped from the transit to submit quietly to an abandonment of the enterprise through want of en- couragement on the part of their government. They regard their country a3 destined to furnish one of the highways of the world’s commerce, and they are anxious to reap all the advantages which geo- graphical position gives them, as well as to give every possible encouragement to capital tor the de- velopment of its immense and varied natural re- sources, As the pioneer enterprise in this great work of national improvement, they look with pe- culiar favor upon the American Transit Company.

The city police courts are chiefly noted for drunken exhibitions, gross profanity and foul smells of bad whiskey. The datly routine exhibits life in all ite phases, for there the rich and poor, drunken and sober, ‘aristocrat and plebian, assemble in search of “plind justice.'? This morning the monotony and sameness was somewhat varied. Immediately after the close of the morning business Justice Dodge and a select few of invited spectators adjourned to the examination room, when a young German and his beloved soon after entered, n= orp by @ groomsman and bride’s maid. None of the party could “ak English, and the Justice knew no German. In this dilemma “Baron” Schieicher, court interpreter, was summoned, and the solemn marriage services bere. The happy bridegroom gravely arose and clasped the hand of the bride in his. The marriage services were uttered and interpreted, and the aD pY bridegroom pave forth his responsive “Yaw” in deep gutturals, is bn as grave as a sexton’s. Then came the bride’ part. In answer to the interrogatories she blushed and stammered forth her “Yaws,” and at the conclusion they unciasped hands, “Now kiss your bride,” commanded the Justice, Four came in :collision, a short, quick sound was 4 and quietude reigned in the court. A moment later Two souls with but a single thought, ‘Two hearts that beat as ono, were made happy, and the bridegroom walked out of court smiling upon the peariof *Fatherland.’’ THE WEEKLY HERALD.
