Before Judges Dowling and Kelly. The proceedings in this Court yesterday were un- usually prosy. No possible mental galvanic bat- tery could impart any special lively animation to the wearisomely stale and monotonous trials of petty Jarceny and assault and battery cases comprising the calendar, PISTOL PRACTICE ON A ROOF. Charles Moran charged George W. Laselle with shooting himin the arm with a pistol. The ball hithim ia the leftarm, making an ugly wound, thongh fortunately fracturing no bones, The evi- dence showed that the accused, who 1s a boy only twelve years old, was amusing himself at pistol practice on the roof of his dwelling. The target was a bottle, but being a bad shot or careiessgin his shooting, one of the shots hit, as stated, Moran in the arm, who was quietly walking along the street. The juvenile pistol practician was sent to the House of Refuge. A BELLIGERENT AGED GENTLEMAN. Joseph Raush, an old, grayheaded man, according to the evidence adduced against him, 1 not en- dowed with that mild placidity of temper that gives such gracious dignity to those of mature age and silver locks, His stepson, Henry Bennett, accused him of hitting him on the head with a paving stone. “What did be stmke you for?’ Judge Dowling asked the complainant, “He is savage by nature, and strikes everbody ‘who comes near him,’’ the complainant answered, “Who do you mean by everyvouy /”” “Weill, he beats his wile.” “Anybody else ?’’ “Yes, ail the children.” “Anybody else?’ “Everybody who remonstrates with him." Waat have you to say to this charge?’ the Judge ed the prisoner, vhey are all ugly,” he gruttly replied. “1 gues you are the ugiy one,” answered the Judge. “Two months to the Penitentiary.” COMPOUND CASE OF STLOOT. John Shoot was charged by James Murphy with assaultand battery, Murphy said that Shoot enticed his (Murp! ) wife to leave him and enter upon the vocation of a waiter in asaloon. He met Shoot ina drinking saloon, and reprimanded him for his inter- ference between himseli and wife. Shoot got indig- nant and shook his fist in his face, Skoot got more indignant end struck him, “How is this?” the Judge asked the prisoner. “His wife shoot him,” answered Murphy. “I had nothing to do with her leaving him.” “What do you mean by shoot him?’ pursued the Judge. “T mean she left him of her own accord.’* “It’s not 80,” persisted Murphy. “It was his work.” Shoot was remanded till Tuesday to see 1* he make good his sia‘emenut as to Murvhy being shoot by his wie, STRIKING A WORKING GIRL. A rare specimen of a brute, such as Burgh would idly spend his sympathy upon, giving his name as James Monroe, Was arraigned on a charge of striking Mary Rhodes, a working girl, while on her way home from work. The complanant, a modest ap- pearing girl, said that the prisoner jostied rudely against her and as she believed designedly. She asked him to please be more careful, when he struck her 0 violent blow, nearly felling her to the side- walk. “You are a brute,” said Judge Dowling, “a brute Of the meaucst species.” “IT was drank,” pleaded the prisoner. “So tnuch the worse brute, tien,’ answered the Magistrate. “fhe severes, punishuent for you will be to fing you; I dine you twenty dollars, and if ever you molest working girls and’you are brouche here again, drank or sober, i wil! scnd you for stx months tw the Penitentiary.” GOING THROUGH A BOARDING HOUSER. Not an ordinary, quiet and respectable way of go- ing through a boarding house, but “going tirouga”’ it as these two words mean in police vernacniar. Win. Kirkpatrick boarded im Canal streei, He was accused of helping himeelf to the wardrobe of his fellow male boarders. He confessed his gulit, but said he was drunk. Of tour complaints preierred against in, judgoent was suspended on three through the ttercession of the complainants, bn fourth le Was sent for two montis to the Pen ary. QUESTION OF FACT AND MEMORY. Charles Cobb accused Bridget Kelly of being a shoplifter and stealing some cotton cloth from his store, ‘The woman pleaded gulity to te charge, but said it Was her dest viene cod begged the Jude to jet her oi, promising never tw be ailty of thieving 4m the future, “You have been before me before on a similar charge, uniess 1 am very mutch mistaken,” sald Juage kelly. “Never, air.” nt will be worse for you uf you ile to me; think O, sits this is the first ver in a police'court,”’ she Protester, SEM. 3 Was SP “Tam going to find out whether you are lying or pt the trath,” continued the Judge; ba remand you til next session of the Court. ANOTHER BRUTE, Daniel Clancey was charged by Mary Ford with striking her in the eye, She said she Was passing through the Lowery when the prisoner stumpica against her; she asked nim to be kind enoagh to keep his distance, and he struck her in the eye, she removed the age from her eye, which in its bloodshot condition andiark tracery ot biue, dirt it jooked like the optic of a prize tighter after a score of ronndls in tire fistic arena, “Why did you strike this young woman?’ the NEW: Jaage amethe prisoner, ® genuine sample of the wery rough.

Kennedy aud His Detectives Knocked Down to the First Bidder—A Clue that was No Ome rom the Evening Telegram, May 1.) Considerable excitement was occasioned yesterday ft police headquarters by the following despatch, which was received about five o’clock in the morn- o RONECK, 1989. Joun A. KENNED’ bosstctbtentont ot Police oew ing tepsenh Maen RL er aN See atk ts econ ta ile hand so I'll know "ex. pions Mr, Kennedy arrived at the central office after eight o'clock, so it was imposstble to comply with the request of the sender of the despatch; but the Superintendent believed that if the man had any- thing of importance to communicate to the police he would, on his arrival in town, make haste to call at the Mulberry street mansion. About nine o'clock tne gentleman put im an appearance quite sud- denly. He was well dressed in the extreme, and bore himself im @ manner that indicated how deep was his conviction that he was no in the city of Gotham. He wore a bran new allk hat, @ cravat that seemed to crave the privilege of winding itself about his throat outside of his coat collar with most unfashionable freedom. His pantaloons were worn la mode—so tightly, in fact, that when he bowed to the Superintendent he bowed as though he felt that if he overdid the Ting he might overdo himself, which, al! other things being equal, would not be sepienee as nigh} be, a whiskers were red and so was his nosé, and his eyes, small, keen and piercing, looked stright ahead, as though behind and beyond the person he spoke to there was to him visible something of a very at- tractive nature. Walking up to Mr. Kennedy's aesk he exclaimed, in a voice as dee as that of a man who speaks from a well:— “My despatch from Mamaroneck received, I suppose?” Here the individual took off his hat, from the depths of which he pulled out a snuff col- ored cotton handkerchief which he applied yigor- Qusly to his perspiring forehead. “I got your despatch, and the detective who is working up the Mamaroueck murder went up there this morning,” replied the Super. “Oh, that don’t matter. {f don’t want bim up there, I want him here.” “Well, if you have any information I'll send for our chief of detectives, He'll attend to you.” Here @ small boy named George went to look for Chief Kelso. . “Do you know,” asked the stranger, when the boy had closed the door after him, “do you know there’s a big reward for the apprehenston of the murderer?” “Tam very sorry to hear it,” growled the Super. “We'll now have a hundred persons coming here with @ thousand theories’? ‘No, sir, no theories. I tell you, sir, I can find the murderer for you.. Ican have him pointed out to you.” ‘ne Super. jumped from his chair as if a ten- inch shell had raised nis seat tne least litte bit above the comforcable level. His eyes twinkled with secret satisfaction, and he waiked about the room rubbing his hands as Wf he desired to.rub the excess of his delight out at nis finger ends, Becoming a little calmed be sat down and drew his seat close up to the stranger’s, The two put their heads together, aud Kelso coming in at the moment joined the secretive duo, “Hold ! before we go any further,’ exclaimed the Super.; “we had better have things allright. ii take this penci! and write down all you know avout the matter.” “Know about the matter !? cried the Mamaro- necker; don’t know anything about the matier; only I'm going to put you on the track.’” nent tat will probably amount to the same thing.” ‘the three heads were again together, while the su i Meg henaneta fingers toyed impatiently with his peicit, “Now,” spoke the Mamaronecker, “I want, in the first place, Mr. Kelso to go with me."? “Oh, certainly, certainly,” said the Superinten- tt. ent. “Well, you see there’s a woman lives in Thirty- second street, and shel want money, for she actually comn—-.’? “What !? exclaimed the Superintendent; “she the murderess?” “No, sir; but she knows who the murderer is,”” “Ah! 10s aman did it, then?” , “You'll soon find that out,” replied the stranger; “You see my pian is this: Kelso goes with me to ihe house in Thirty-second street——” “Yes; what then?” “Then, you know, I’ve got a lock of the murdered man’s hair, and——" “What's that got to do with itt”? “Why, Pil show it to the woman; she’li then tell who w e murderer 18, for she’s a first Class clair- voy-——’ Mb ‘The Superintendent jumped to his feet in a storm of rage and Kelso rolled under the table, with tis head in the waste basket. where he tried to stile lus gut/aws with a copy of general order 6589. The Mamaronecker was hurried out of the house meanwhile, and a physician was called in to attend to Mr. Kennedy, MAYOR'S OFFICE. During the past week the business at the License Bureau has been of the usual varied character, and Marsha! Tooker, with his aids Hart and Dally. have been kept alive attending to complaints and adjudi- cating upon cases brought before them. The more important of the cases have been noticed from time to time in the HERALD, Among the rich cases was that of Thomas Norton, a hackman, whose license was revoked. The day after he was notified that ts license had been revoked he appeared at the Marshal’s desk, accompanied by @ friend of the “rough” style. The latter was by no means a pre- possessing individual, His eyes were bieared, his nose crooked and his face deeply rutted. Whea speaking he made frantic efforts to touch his eye with one corner of his mouth, and thus addressed the Marsha!:— Do 1 understand that this man’s license was re- voked by order of the Mayor? Marshal! Tooker—Yes, sir. ‘The Friend—Which Mayor? Mayor Hall or Mayor Coman t Pon hepa Tooker—By the Mayor; there is but one aVOr. Friend—Yes, I know all about that; but which Mayor do you meant Marshal Tooker—The Mayor of New York; Mr. Hall is Mayor of New York. Friend—Mayor Hall? Mayor Hail, I understand, has not been here this week, and if he is out of town three days then Mr. Coman is Mayor. Now, did Mayor Coman do this ? Major Hart (whe Marshal’s assistant)—The Mayor has been here tuis week. Do you see you are uus- taken f Friead—That’s all right, then. Marshal Tooker-—Toe Mayor's Marshal revoked the Neense. [aim the Marshal and | am responsible, I revoked the license for cause. Friend—Well, I’li see the Mayor about it. Marshal Tooker—fhat’s right; see the Mayor about it. ‘The Friend—And then the Marshal's action may be overruled, $ Marshal Tooker—Perhaps it may. The Mayor no doubt will make it all right to-morrow. Friend—Or the day after, eh? ‘This Was said with @ horrid grimance, which might imply that (he Mayor was under the thumb of the good loosing man or his trends, and would, of course, make the amendment required—perhaps. Among the cases disposed of yesterday were those of the BOGUS JEWELRY SHOPS at 42 West street, 124 West street and 73 Cortlandt sireet. In each of these places unwary, ignorant er foolisn fortune seekers were feeced oul of amounts varying from ten doliars to twenty dollars, bar the appearance ot officers from the Mayor's oft: vliged them to disgorge to the victlms who lad made com- plaints, A ROTTEN APPLE CASE Was brought up by Mrs. Byron, who charged that Mr, Johnson, doing business at the corner of Fulton and Washington sireets, had sold her a lot of appies, the upper ones of which were good and the bowom portion bad, She was furnished with a notice trom the Marshal, requesting Johnson to appearPbut the latter would hot take itfrom her, and so @ peremp- tory notice was sent to him to appear to-morrow and explain the reason of the allegod fraud. A large number of MISCELLANBOUS complaints were heard. Many of these were against cartmen for standing in wrong places or having wrong numbers on their drays or running without licenses. These were reprimanded, fined or rpiaced on the black book, Whica has now become a terror to tie evil doers, Tue Marshal has been instrumental in recovering dorm the weekisome $1,912, which had been ov- tained by swindiers Of various kinds. te has re- ceived for license fees and fines $403, and has iasned 170 livenses a8 1ollows:—Express wagons, 20; carts, be yerders, 23; drivers, 26; porters, 4; gunpowder, 1; ach, be THE WEW POSTMASTE3.

Jones appeared at the office of Postmaster Kelly, in the Post Office building, declar- ing himself ready to take formal charge of the oilice of Postmaster and control of the butiding. The in- coming and the outgoing Postmaster shook hands cordially, and Mr. Keliy heartily bade him welcome to the official chair, No formal ceremony was gone through nor speeches made, the General seeming to de, like soldiers generally, a man of few words, The proposition of Mr. Kelly to take | his guceessor around the btitiding, to inspect the several oMces and, introduce the clerks to | hief, ed, {ian two hone but he haped that of Monasy to. be in ii ne heaith to @o through with that oncrs| ous . al | with a ciud, the made standing undergo the @ at onee, and the two gentlemen started out on the tour, first to the Assistant Post- master, them to the money order and dead letter Geparement, exh to the cashier's office, to the re’ departinent, and s0 on through the entire wo ow! to il] health, General Jones, though the Posumaster of this city, will not take of the business of the oiliece and Mr. Kelly will re- direct affairs, the game regiment or in the same brigade with General Jones.” Others again looked Gowncast and ertain tase the iniuaoe whieh wressed veugeunce uence W! vengeance on James Kelly for his Johnsoniam or concer tiem will not rest until they also are brought to the block and under the axe, SUICIDE OE A NOBLEMAN. Despair the Gause=Singular Case. For nearly three weeks past Rovert M. Haldenreid, @nobleman, twenty-six years of age and @ native of Leipsic, Saxony, has occupied a room in the upper story of Dr. William Pleper’s residence No. 7 St. Mark’s place. Mr. Haldenretd, who was @ man of good education and polished manners, however, had but little to say in the house, and seemed to be in a melancholy state of mind. His particular friend, Mr. T. Blumenthal, of No. 626 Third avenue, often called to see him, as also did a few others, and he entertained and conversed freely with them in mis room. All his friends de- tected a feeling of sadness in bis manner, and et intervals Haldenreid, it is stated, has been heard to say that he had but little or nothing to live for, although his means were abundant, he receiving frequent remittances from his father\in Saxony. It 1s stated by the friends of Mr. Haiden- rend that he aspired to some position of honor and trust in his Dative country, but failing in his purpose, came to America a few years since, almost in despair, and under an assumed name entered the Union army, his chief desire being to be slain on the battle fleld; tut in this he was disappointed. As it was not his fortune to be sacrificed in the war, he recently resolved to re- sort to another and surer method of terminating an existence which was irksome to him, Accordingly he purchased, at the ae, ae a of Thomas Batley, No. 9 Bible -House, two boities of laudanum, each containing at ieast two ounces, and placed them on the table in his room. Yesterday morning, about: half-past elgnt o’clock, the chambermaid rapped at the door of Mr. Haldenreid’s room, but without recetv- we an answer, although she heard 9 moan, which failed to excite her suspicions. ‘Two hours later Mr. Blumenthal called to see Mr. Haldenreid, and, as he had often done before; proceeded to his room, the door of which was locked. He Knocked, but without obtaining a response, when Mr. Blumenthal thought something was wrong aud communicated his sus- Picions to Mrs. Pieper. A stepladder was procured, and on looking through the fanlight Mr. Haldenreid was discovered lying on tbe bed with his eyes open, but quite insengible, The room door was damadisiely forced in and Dr. Pieper being absent from home, Dr. Barstow, then in the house, was called to attend the inseusibie man, As two empty vials, which hal contained taudanam, and a tanbler, 8: 00d om the table beside the bed,it was natu- rally concluded that the insensible man had taken poison. Antidotes were immediately administered, and Dr. Barstow, with the efficient aid of Mrs. Dr. Pieper, did parang his power, but without avail, as death ensued in about fifteen minutes after- ward. In his room was found anote written by deceased, in which he requested that all his efiects, money, papers, clothes, &¢., should be left to the disposal of his friend, Mr, I. Blumenthal. Coroner Fiyna, on being notified, repaired to the house of Dr, Pieper, and taking such testimony a8 was at hand, gave an order for the removal of the body to the Morgue. The case will be concluded to-mor- row. Deceased had no relatives in this country, but his urbane manners and scholastic aitamments won him many friends. Mr. Holdenreid spoke #1x or seven different lang with fluency. ‘he real name of deceased did not rig mip he having sta- diously avoided divulging it to but one or two of his most intimate friends. Unless his friends take charge of the remains and give them a respectavie buria) they wil be interred at the public expense in Potier’s Field, THE LATE OCEAN OUTRAGE, Ancther Chapter of Brutalities on the Ameri- can Ship Richard Robinson.

This man having received better treatment from Captain Robinson and the first mate during their drunken carnival of brutality at the beginning of the voyage. did not come forward with the crew to,aid in the apprehension and prose- cution of the fugitive officers ; but it now appearing improbable that these officers will be arrested, he has made an affidavit containing many new and in- teresting facts iliustrative of the fantastic and brutal freaks practised, by the captain and first mate. The statement of this comparatively disinterested person, an intelligent, officer of the ship, wil cer- tamly command some consideratton. Deeck states that he joined the ship while she was lying at Holyhead, she baving put back from Queenstown, as alleged by the captain, for repairs, She remained at that port for fourteen days, when she was towed out to sea to a little below Tuscan, in complete repair. When tie tug parted from the ship she took the captain’s wife, who could no longer en- dure wituessing the sav: brutalities of ber hus- band and his first mate. While the tug was leaving the ship the mebriated captain compelled the crew to man the rigging and cheer lus wile, who was standing on the deck of the tug. The ship was Kept under sail during the followin; night, and on the next morning the captain nailed a tug to tow theship back to Holyhead. While te snip was being wwed back the captain and mate ordered Deeck, a8 he alleges, to cut away the bob- stays, which caused the foremast head to be sprang. ‘Tne mate then ordered him to go aloit and do some- thing to the topsail yards, so they could come down by the run and be destroyed. Deeck told the mate that he could not consent to do such a ting. When the vessel arrived back at Holyhead, the captain ordered & neW main lower topsail yard, as an excuse for putting back. The oné on board he lad condemned and ordered it taken down and ali the iron work taken off vhe same day the captain went to Liv- erpool and returned on a steamer, obring- ing bis wife with him. He came on board, and Deeck told him that two of the seamen had jumped overboard apd got on shore, and that they had re- portea the ship to the police authorities. The cap- tain then went ashore to secure the imen, but found they were being held by the authorities, who told the captain and mate that they must appear before a@ justice the next morning. The captain then came back to the ship and hurried her of to sea again. The old yard, which had been partially destroyed, hi to be repaired and putin use again, asthe captain did not have time to get his new one in order, The tug which took the ship out on leaving her took off the tain’s wife, Whereupon he again compelled the crew to man the rigging aud cheer her as the tug wag leaving.

BLANK.—With all the wounds inflicted on himseif by Dr. Blank he 1s considered out of danger. Te is attended by Pr. Voelker, his fellow prisoner, and with all the kindness rendered him, prison is not after all so gloomy a place as he fancied at first. The jailer will learn to be more careful henceforth that every prisoner is minutely examined, seo engh if the offence charged against him be of agrave character. Dr. Blank feeis confi- dent that when Judge Bedle comes to examine the medical testimony in the case the prisoners will be released on bal). He feels sorry for the rash attempt to destroy his life, and takesa more hopeful view of his position, Newark. Tue Scnpay Horse CAR QuksTION.—This ques- tion is now fairly before the people and the straight- jaced opponents have already jumped into the field and are distributang remonstrance papers for signa- tures throughout the city, Peopie devoid of bigatry and fuil of real Christian desire for the wellbeing of their species are satistied that when such cities as Brookiyn and Boston run cars on sunday without in the least destroying morality, Newark need not have any fear on that score either. More BURGLARIES.—Some vigilant members of the police force surprised a gang of burglars at Work “cracking’’ a hat shop on the corner of Belmont avenue and Waveriey place early yesterday morning, and arrested one out of four. This individual gave the name of Charles King, of New York. He was lodgedain the station house, and sul uentiy com- mitted for trial.

Tae RECENT SUNDAY Scoot CoNVENTION.— While Newark asa whote has reason to feel proud of the generous manner tn which her citizens enter. tained the large body of delegates from ail parts of the Union at the recent Sunday School Convention, it 1s to be regretted that some of the people ignored even Common decency. As an instance in point, te number of refresuments provided by a committee in the Re- formed Olturch, on Market strees, was on each ove: gon at least double the number of regular delegates, for whom the entertamment had been specially pro- vided. The overplus are stated by the committee to have been mostly citizens having homes of their own in town. Mr. George H, Stuart was the honored guest of Mayor Thomas B.

FERRY.—Last Friday afternoon a difficulty occurred between two men named John Peterman and Frederick Barclay, in a lager beer saloon near the rallroad depot ai that place, during which the former was severely wounded. Both men, it appears, had been drinking, and Peter- man, Who became quarrelsome, appiied a most ia- sulting epithet to Barciay. Filled with rage the lat- ter went to the kitcben and seizing a carviug kut'e returned to the barroom, where he made a furious attack on Peterman, Who, in endeavorins to defend bimeelf, had his hands cut ina shocking manner. Apparently satisfied at the sight of iast flowing blood Barclay dropped the weapon, and, taking his escape, has uot been seen in the neighborhood since. A KNorry QUESTION.—Before Police Justice Akins, last Friday, the suit instituted by the Board of Ex- cise Commissioners against Henry Fleck, charged with having sold intoxicating Mquors withou a license, was again brought up. Alter six jurymen had becn drawn to try the case counsel for defend- ant moved that the court swear each juryman as to whether he bad formea or expressed an opinion as to the intoxicating qualities of lager beer, this being atest case and the issue being whether the above named beverage was intoxicating or not. The jury-were accordingly sworn, and each of the six excused, as they had formed an opinion. Being unable to obtain a jury to try the lager question, tie counsel forthe Board of Excise agreed not to try the case, and proceeded on the separate charge of selling liquors other than lager beer. In tuis they were not more fortunate, as the jury subsequentiy empaneiled, after deliberating about half an hour, returned @ verdict of not guilty. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A KEEPER AT SING SING PRISON.—Regardless of where the cause may exist other than in the depraved natures of men who are expiating different grades of crime against the com- munity, certain it is that the spirit of revolt and dis- satisfaction recently evinced on more than one occa sion by the convicts in Sing Sing Prison has bp; no means died out. For some dsys past {t appears there has been a growing discontent among the operatives who work in the chain shop, the true nature of which itis dificult to ascertain, rumor stating, however, that an attempt has re- cently been made looking to an increased amount of work from the convicts in that department. Last Friday afternoon a keeper named William Miller, seeing the men after they had quit work forma group, against the rules of the prison, remonstrated, telling them that talking among themseives could noi be tolerated, and ordermg each man to his forge. Having obeyed they allowed afew minutes to elapse, and again defied restraint by reassembling. On being ordered to their posts a second time ali left except one man, Who persistently refused to move, seeing which the keeper told the stubborn ieilow to get his things and come With him. While this was going on Miller observed one of the convicts go to the door through which he would have to pass with the cul- prit and there drop something, Which the keeper on going to the spot found to be a short bar of iron, He stooped to pick it uo, when one of the number called out in a threateuing man- her, “Vou't touch tbat,” and in @ second afterwards Milier was knocked lusensible. Five or six of the convicts then attacked and beat tim in style, using trou weapons, which, besi¢ his Weth, cut lis head im a terrible man. alarm having been at once given, a ni guards arrived in time perhaps to save the unfor. tunate man’s life.
