Mr. Towle, of the Solicitor General's office, has been in ‘the city for some time preparing these latter cases for argument and submission to the Court. Long before the usual hour the court room was Most uncomfortably crowded by the legal gentlemen engaged in the several cases on the calendar, all de- a@trous to their particular mottona before the Court and to have days fixed either {or argument on ‘motion or for the trial of causes. Exactly at eleven o'clock Judges Nelson and Blatchford, the former presiding as Judge of the cir- euit, took their seats on the bench. After sume littie rder was secured and the senior counsel in the ore immediately pending cases had made their way the front of the ch, the following named case ‘Was called on:— The Alleged Tribune Association Libel Case. Zsaac Cook vs. The Tribune Association.—This long pascing, case was the first on the calendar. On pp it Judge Neison said there were s0 many eases to be tried during the term which can only be tried by him that this case was cne which he could Mot take up, and he thought, therefore, that it must stand over for the present aud be brought up for ‘tra! in the District Court. Mr. Stoughion, counsel for the defence, was willing to let the case stand over, as suggesied, A number @: tue witnesses would Lave to be brought here from Chicago and other distant poe, and he believed the hearing of the case would involve a good deni of tine, labor and trouble. He was willing to let the ease stand over till December. Mr. E. X, Meade, counsel for the p rreereig said that ‘the wiul of this case has been delayed for a long time and Le was very anxious on behalf of his clieat to have it held as soon as possible. Me had notified Ris client, who resided at St. Louls, to be here on Xonday next, not thai he desired the case to be bey on then, but im the hope that it would be led this teri. Judge helson—As there is a long appeal calendar and s¢verul motions to be made during the term, ‘Sud us this case is one tuat it seems wili occupy con- siderable tise and require the examination of a t number of witnesses, and one tiat he (Judge elson) could not try, counsel had better agree to setitdown for the tirst Monday or Tuesday in De- | e@ember. Mr. Stoughton suggested to counsel, in conse- geen, of lis inability to be in the city so carly in wember—he baving to argue a motion before the Supreme Court of the United States at the opening Of that tribunal—to set the case down for the 1th of December. Mr. Meade only desired that the earliest possible, and, at the same time, certain day, be xed. Judge Nelson—The case is set down for the third lay in Decembe: The Alleged Naturalization Frauds, Mr. Stoughton said that the indictment in this ease had been remitted from the District Court to the Circuit Court for the purpose of having iinpor- fant points cf law involved in the case argueu before his Honor and the learned District Judge. The District Attorney and counse! for the defence rere prepared to make an arrangement to spose Of oue case in a way that would enable the Court to pass on the questions Involved. It was most important that ail the material points tuvol- ‘ved sliouid be raised, and perhaps the t way to secure the end would be to select one of the cases ‘Chat presented the least number of facts, to try it and then to argue the law points. ‘his would be better than to argue them on a demurrer or on a motion to quash. Several members of the bar were Subjects of those indictments and they were anxious te hrave the cases disposed of as speedily as possible. Mr. Courtney said he would be prepared to go to trial upon one of the cases on Monday next. @ase set down for Monday. Important Revenue Cases.

The frst case called was that of officer Herbert Syddell, of the Forty-elghth precinct, charged by Captain Brown with using unofiicer-like language towards his superior officers, who were witnesses ‘against him in his late trial for intoxication, &o. Captain Brown opened the case by stating that on the recent triat of Syddell he had endeavored to shield him, but sipce then there had been so much sald reflecting upon the oMcers of the precinct that he was compelled to prefer charges.

The first witness called wa3 oflicer McNamara, who testified that Syddeil had told him that he had detected Sergeant Temple and Roundsman Webster stealing pears in the orchard of Mrs. Bergen; that he fotlowed them out to Fourth avenue, when Sergeant Tempie tried to hide himself; Syddeil aiso said that they took eome egg plants and some pumpkins; wit- nesa asked him why he did not report them; he said 2 helo keep it until there was a charge agatnst mself. Otticer Ryan testified that Syddell met him about the 4th inst. and asked him if he had heard anything; witness answered in the negative; the defendant then said he had caught two thieves, and that they were Sergeant Temple and Webster; that if he got broke he had the officers in a snap. Mr. Acton—Did you see anybody in Mrs. Bergen’s orchard’ A. No. Syddell—Did you not tell me that you met them on Fourth jue? A. 5 Onticer ns testified that a few mornings after the defendant had been brought in drunk he told him he had caught the Sergeant and roundsinan in Mrs. Bergen’s orchard at two o’ciock in the morn- ing of the 2d of October stealing pears; the de- fendant had farther stated that they were going gain the next day. To Syddeli—I was asked by the sergeant what you had said about him. and I told him what I knew; Sergeant Tempt!e said if he had known it at the twmé of your trial he would have sworn that you were beastly drunk. Sergeant Temple was called and testified that Syddeli had told him be saw sergeant Willams drink- whiskey with oificer Ward, and he had a chance to break them. Mr, Brennan—Did you say to Evans that, had you known the remarks of defendant, you would. have sworn he was beastly drunk? A. 1 have no recol- lection of it; if I was called now I would make the same stai‘ement that J did then; the man had all the appearance of being drunk, but i could not smell Nquor upon hun, Roundsman Webster testified that he was on Syd- deii’s post and heard Lim charge Captain Brown with drunkenness and state that Brown would not at- tempt to break him. Syddell—I say that I never made the statement. ir. Dutcher was called, but gave no important evidence. Captain Brown—Now, I want to prove that this oMicer’s name is not Syddell; that he was arrested for grand larceny. sergeant Fe swore that Syddell was arrested S the 4th of March, 1853, with sixteen others, on he charge of stealing pork from a Mr. Barber, and that his name was John Marsh. Mr. Acton to Syddell—You admit that you were arrested under the name of Marsh? A. I was tried and honorably juitted. Mr. Acton—Under the name of Marsh? A. Yes; I gave that name; I would not give my own. Captain Brown stated that he could prove that Syddell had passed under the name of Marsh at various times and places. Mrs. Syddell was called and gavo a detailed state- ment of the report her husband had made to her of the robbery the morning after it occurred. Syddell then made his statement. He was sworn testified that on the morning of October 1 he was on No. 9, and at about half-past one, while coming down by Mrs. Bergen’s orchard, he saw Tem- ple and Webster picking the pears; he got back un- der the shade of a tree and watched thein for five or ten minutes; he then went to Thirty-sixth street and met them; ‘Temple ran away when he came up, but he could not avoid him; when he met Temple the sergeant said, “I thought you was going to run aiter me; Temple told to go and get gome fruit, and if he did not doso he wasafool. Syddetl fur- ther stated that Webster said they were going in. Mr. Acton—Did you go again? A.

Macgregor, the Superintendent of Buildings, in company with the Deputy Sup. rintend- ent, Henry J. Armstrong, and Inspectors Owens, Marehall and Gayton, yesterday commenced an in- spection of the theatres tn the city. The inspection, a3 begun, was got intended for the purpose of mak- ing an immediate report upon the genera! condition and safety of each building, but was mercly as pre- Mminary to a final report that is to be made after all the places of amusement will have been visited and thoroughly inspected. The theatres visited yeater- day are Wood's Museum, Booth’s, Brougham's and the French theatre. The latter Mr. Mac- gregor considered one of the very best con- strucced places of public resort he had ever had oc- casion, in the ordinary course of his official duties, to examine with cular care. The modes of 83 and ventilation he styled unsurpassed in ever. respect, and ventured the opinion that if all the theatres and amusement halls in the city were | ten Collar bills, fitted up and built after its fashion there would be ‘but little if any apprehension of loss of life in any one of them, in case of fire or a panic from any cause whatever. In regard to Booth’s theatre Greer’ and the committee who accompanied im were unanimous in their commenda- tion the manner in witch ot excellent jt was being constracted, not only as regards the Strength of ‘the walls and gallery supports, but the means of egress and ingress which were being pro- vided. Brougham’s theatre was found, a8 far as could be med from its present unfinished con- dition, to be unexceptlonable in all respects but one, and that is the stairway, which 1s considered faulty in structure and rather unsafe. This drawback to its general excellence once remedied the Supertn- tendent thinks that an audience need have no fear within its walls as to inadequate mreans of escape. It is Mr, Macgregor’s inteation one or two even- ings this week to pie his inspectors at all the theatre doors, in order to ascertain the exact me occupied by the audiences in “clearing the houses.’’ He hopes by this means to become better acquainted with the present facilities of escape in each piace and definitely to ascertain where improvements are needed, lie also expresses his intention of eniorcin; tothe letter the law prohibiting the crowding 0! aisles with cainp sioois or chairs and gives it as his opinion that all the theatres Siould have more alsies: than they now have, GEVERAL INTELLIGINCE, A national Board of Trade assemb!es ia Cincinnati Deceiaber 2 They grow parsnips four feet and eight inches long in Concord, N. i.

The Country Flooded with Counterfeit Greene backs. {From Buflgio papera, Nov. 10.) Two meu named Philetus S. Barber and James B, Sweeney have been arrested herve charged with at tering couuterfeit mone: of the Uniied States, In the overcoat pocket of Barber a huge pile of green- backs was found, done up in wads, as though when changing @ bill he had rolied the money up and places it in his pocket carelessly. There were about {ty wads, some of them indicating that a ten dollar bill had been while others would contain only about @ doliar and a half or 80, showing that a two dollar bill had been passed, He had in ali $125 in good money. In @ wallet, also in the overcoat pocket, there were eighty-six two dollar counterfeit twos on the St, Nicholas National Bank of New York and one ten dollar counterfelt on the Auburn City Bank, besides eight bogus fifty cent Pieces, Sweeuey had two ten doliar counterfeits on the Aubum City Bank and a lot of genuine money, in separate wads, as though he had three These imitations are well executed, especially the ten dollar notes, and not one man out of fifty would suspect their character unless his @t- tention was particularly directed to them. The re- Mr. Mac- | Mainder of their effects consisted of miscellaneous articies, conspicuous among which were railway time tables, leading to the belief that they travelled considerabiy. The men were locked up and wiil be turned over to the United States authorities for ex- amination. (From the St. Lonis Republican, Nov. 9. The extent to which counterfeit money is aimed: or Ld the public for genuine is becoming really startling, more 8 because the operators seem to ad- quire greater skill, and the spurious greenbacks con- sequently approach a greater similitude to the real. From information that Chief of Police Lee derived Sergeant Harrigan was instructed to devote his at- tention to the movements of a Mrs. Catharine Engels, who resided in a neatly furnished two stor’ brick on South Seventh stroet, near the Arsenal, Sergeant Harrigan went to work and on Wednesday last sent a person to this place to get sampics of the “queer” from Mrs. Engels. Mrs. Engels told him to call next day and gaid she would then furnish him with suuples, She was assured that if the “queer’ was very good a large amount of it would be taken; that the purchaser was going down Soath and could dispose of it readily. On Thursday the same person called and he was rewarded for his trouble by getting a »peciinen fifty dollar counterfeit bill, a tive dollar ditto and a five cent piece of the game character. For this he paid $17 50, He went back the same day, and professin, to be satisiled with the imitations, said he woul take $8,000 worth of the ‘“stuif.” He was told to come down on Friday night and that It would then be there for him. Friday night came and with tt offcer Tracey and Ser- geant Harrigan, The two latter ‘stayed out- side, expecting by secret observation to be able to fasten guilt on Mrs, Engels, The other person went inside and had a brief interview with tie woman. She had not the “queer” and another delay was the result. Mrs, Engels requested the man to meet her at Union market at nine o'clock on Saturday morn- ing. He agreed to be there and in the morning fillea the appointment punctually. Mrs. Engels was there too. The purchaser sald he was going to the bank to draw the money to pay for the bogus and she said she would go to get the latter. As far as the ‘purciases’’ were concerned the mat- ter was ended, but not so for Mrs. Engels. She made her way to the house of Michael Moran, at the corner of Eighth and Biddle streets, followed by oficer ‘Tracy. She was seen to enter this house and come out again, Moran coming afier her. Poth went down Fifth street, ana when on Filthy and Chestnut officer ‘Yracy introduced himself to Meran, 2{rs. Engels was aliowed to proceed as far as Eignth and Market stveets, when Sergeant Harrigan iutroduced bim- seif to her. She was fairly taken by surprise and overcome with terror. In the hope of gecting out of trouble by ridding herse:! of the lighiy inconvenient “qucer,” she threw it wiidly about and pleaded for release. Sergeant ——— was, however, inexora- ble. and she was forthwith placed in conduement. Both parties will be brought before a Unit d States Commissioner an@ a preliininary examination had. The amoun: of counterfeit money found io the possession of Mrs. Engels was be- tween $200 and $300, which consisted prin- ctpally of five dollar bills; the remainder of it was in fifty dollar bills, fifty and twenty-tive cent notes and five cent pieces. The five dollar bills were re- markably good imitations of the res! and would be readily received by many persons. In fact, they are the best imitations that experienced detectives here have geen. The five cent pieces were tolerably good imitations, Mrs. Engels stated that she got the “gut? at Moran’s. ‘The house was searched soon afterwards by Sergeant Harrigan and fifty dollara of counterfeit money, various denomiations, were seized.
