FIRST DISTRICT CiViL COURT. Susannah Cowart vs. Elisha B. Cook et. al, was an action on a promissory note, dated De- cember 13, 1860. The note was for a bill of goods from a correspondent in the country, the defend- ants being commisston merchants in Washington Market. he defence was—First, the statute of Umitation; second, that the firm had been dissolved on the 8d of December preceding the making of the ote, and that the defendant, Elisha S, Cook, who ts ww the only one of the firm responsible, wag not ble for the reason that the note was made by other member of the firm after the dissolution. fhe evidence showed that there was an advertise- nt publishéd in the New York papers anuouncing disaolation, but that no direct notice was sent to their correspondent, who had been tn the habit of sending them goods on commission. As to the ap- tion of the statute of limitation, plamtif's coun- contended that the defenaant, Alfred 8. Cook, having lived out of the State since the making ot the note, te could not avail himself of it, wiiile, ov on tho other hand, the defendant claimed that thougit he resided in Jersey City he did business in New York ail the time and could easily have beeu served with process.

The court room was more than usually crowded, and the cases, thougi none of very grave importance, were more than usually interesting. AN IMPEOUNIOUS ACTOR AFTER A SQUARE MRAL. In the course of human events it no doubt fre- quently happens that gentiemen of the theatrical profession find themselves in an tmpecunious condi- tion and sadly perplexed upon the question of vic- tuals and drink. Not often, however, 1s the fact re- vealed ia court, as unfortunately was the case this morning. A weil dressed and altogether fine look- ing young gentieman was arraigned on a charge of eating a ‘at the Metropolitan Hotel and thén not ing for 1. ‘ “What did Be say?" asked the Judge of tne com- Jainant, “when asked to pay for his meal!’ “He said he had no money.” “He didn’t get of the old joke, then, about being ready to be kicked!" “| was not in a joking mood, your Honor,” Inter- rupted the prisoner. “It was a serious thing to ” “Serious, how ?' asked the Judge. “A ter of lie and death.

REWARD OF TMPRRTINENCE, The forlornist imaginable specimen of a nine year old juvenile, named Philip Dougherty, was placed at the bar on a cuarge of stealing a variety of articles belonging to Patrick McNally. Oliver Twist never looked half as unkempt. ragged and dirty. “tas this boy aby parent in court?” called ont the Judge, atter hearing the very unclassic statement of the complainant against the boy. “Tam his mother,” answered @ woman, and she came up in front of the Judicial bench. “I don’t know as that boy knows the erime of stealing,’ said the Judge to the mother, “but 1 know that ke must be wretchedly cared for from his looks. i shall send him to Haft’s Istand, where he will re- ceive proper care,” “Send him, if you dare, spoke up the mother. “Pll get him off directly.’? “You are impertinent,” said the Judge, “Well, send him, if you dare,” reiterated the irate woman. “Oiticer, take this woman inside,” spoke up the Judge to officer Bennett. “and after she has washed and scrubbed her boy perhaps her temper will coc! down and she will learn to be respectiul, and at least have her kept there till she is.” A BLAST AGAINST SHYSTERS. ‘The Judge never loses fitting occasion to hurl his anathemas upon that class of pseudo gentiemen yelept shysters. Christiana Koch was charged with stealing some articles of dress from Maria Hel- ginger. “T am not ready to be tried,’ said the prisoner. “Why not?” asked the Juage, ‘My lawyer 1s not here.” “Who ig your lawyer?” “The gentleman whose name is on this card,” and she pee the card over to the Judge. x aes did you pay this gentleman?’ the Judge asked. “I gave him ten dollars."’ eee promised to be here ?”” “Yes, : “And you have not seen him since?’ “X07 “Ad painnet will.

STATION HOUSE LAWYERS. Another case developed another genus of the legal biped, to whom the Judge applied the generic name of station house lawyers. Amos Brown, a colored gentieman, was arrested for cutting down a tree in 12ist street, near Third avenue. “What is your charge against this man’? asked the Judge. “Violating @ corporation ordinance,” answered oMcer Haradon, making the complaint. “1 don’t Know of any ordinauce he has violated,’’ said the Judge. “They said he had at the station nouse,"’ answered the officer, “The opinion of some station house lawyer, I reckon,” replied the Judge. “These station house lawyers know everything.” Bs ‘ll leave it to any lawyer here,” urged the officer. “There are nv station house lawyers here,” said the Judge. “I dismiss the case as far as this court is concerned. You can take it back to the station house or where you please.” Oficer Haradon was not pleased with the result. Mr. Amos Brown was. A HARD-HEARTED BROTHER. A phase of humanity, or rather @ case of fiial in- humanity, rarely exhibitea, was next illustrated. Ada Cornwall, a young lady of sixteen, and very preity and modest looking, was charged with assault and battery committed on Emma Dieher, aiso a young sed, but far from being as pretty ana modest jooking. Hedwig Cornwall, @ brother of the ac- cused, Was the principal witness against her. “Do you want I should punish your sister?” the Judge asked him. “How 1? ‘Send her to the Penitentiary.” Now, Miss Dieller, What do you want done with her?” the Judge then asked the complainant, “Send her to the Penitentiary,” she quickly an- swered, “Tam almost as much surprised at you as at her brother,” said the Judge. ‘The case looks te me very queer thus far; this brother thinks evidently more of you than he does of his sister. “Le ongnht to,” said the girl; “he 1s my lover.” ® a you engaged to be narried *"* “Yeu.” “With your parents’ consent !* “My parents don’t know anything about After hearing the defendant's statement ti Postponed his sentences until Saturday MISCELLANEOUS CANES.

In the meantime her clearance had not been applied for as she was not ready to sail. Yes- terday tne Collector received the following letter from the Spanish Consul: ConsuLabo Dg ESPANA EN NevvA Your, New York, June 7, 1839. Having received information, which I have reason to reliable, to the effect that'the steamer Tybee, now lying at pier No. 4North river, has a large quantity of arma and munitions of war on board; that she intends to app!y for @ clearance for St. Thomas; that arrangements have been made for puiting on board ‘of her in the lower bay a conekierable number of men, and that the real destina- tion of said ship ts to attempt to land the aforesaid men, arms und munitions in the jland of Cuba asa hostile and unlawiul expedition agaiust the Spanish government. Ihave communicated this information by telegraph to bis Excel- lency the Spanish Minister Plentpotentiary at Washington, and, pending the instructions which will no doubt be speedily received from Washington, I have the honor to request that you would be so good as to order the examination you may deem proper under the circurastances, and refuse her clear- ance unless proof is adduced that her destination is a lawful one. Thave the honor to remain, sir, ectfully, 3M. BATRUSTEGUL, 29 broadway. Captain E. A. Delany applied for a ciecarance yes- teiday, but the Collector deferred granting it until an explanation had been made by Mr. Spofford, Sr., of Spoftord & Tileston, the owners, Who Was sent for, and, upon bis arrival, assured Mr. Grinnell that the object of the voyage was legitimate traific; that nis vessel was not bound for Cuba, and agreed to ex- press this assurance in writing. Mr, Grinnell, nh this guarantee, granted a clearance—more particu- larly as Deputy Surveyor Lewis J. Kirke had re- ported to the foliowing effect:—That he had examined the cargo of the ‘Tybee and found that it agreed exactly with her manifest, consisting of arms, ammunition, bayonets and accoutrements, soap, kerosene oil and Florida water. That Mesers, Spofford & Ti- leston were, aS he was informed, shipping these goods, at their venture, to be sold at San Domingo Cuy, for their own account, Kgs ig 9 letter of instructions to the eaptain was tt he was vo go from New York to St. Thomas, get all the passengers and freight from St. Thomas, and from there go to San Domingo City, then discharge his cargo, and take ali his passengers and fretgh! from there to Bay Samana, aud from there to New York =. That the statement, as given, was re- celved from young Mr. Spofford.’ On the main deck of the Tybee had been found the ordinary deck houses, pilot louse and one large gun. In her between deck was her cargo and a large quantity of coal. No fittings whatever to carry a large number of men was discovered, and the lower hold contained nothing but coal, The Tybee accordingly sailed yesterday at a quar- ter past twelve o'clock, without let or hindrance, with twenty-five boxes of iwuskets, thirteen cases of accoutrements aud twenty boxes of ammunition, as appears from the manifest, besides her 0 of soap, kerosene oil, &c., but not with any of those alarming and threatening warlike appliances and sinister indications of a hostile purpose, which have see! ly existed only in the fertile brains of the Spies of the Spanish government, who seem, at least in this Instance, to have been somewhat over zealous, WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION, The strong-minded, strong-bodied members of the “Women’s Suffrage Association” met at the “Wo- men’s Bureau” in solemn conclave yesterday aiter- noon at three o'clock. Several sisters were victimn- ized by the clerk of the weather—their trains be- draggied, their fimsy head-gear ‘‘smashed’’—and as a matter of course additional abuse was leveled at that horrid creature, man. The president, as asual, was late; but her satellites, with unusual docility, folded their hands and waitea without a murmur her arrival. Three-quarters of an bour after the ap- pointed time she entered, with that peculiar tnsou- ciance characterizing this veteran agitator, and the business (?) of the gathering commenced. Dr. Noeber, a ladylike little gentleman, and a solid member of the Association, attempted to ventilate some very important ideas at the last meeting, but Mra, Stanton liked not the flavor of the verbal dish about to be served up “nd with true presidential impertinence squelched her friend and fellow citi- zen. But the Doctor, like a rubber ball, bounced up ain, and yesterday, with feminine consistenc: nton acknowledged that he never should have been down. Miss Anthony moved that in this organization there be no distinction of sex in the rights of mem. bers, or in other words that ali of the proscriped male race who “pays their monish” shall be accorded the same privileges before possessed only by their petticoated brethren. As there were but five bona Jive masculines present an undue amount of enthu- siasm Was not noticeable, Aletter from Anna Dickinson was read, expressing regret at ner gg 4 to comply with engagements previously made. That this new example of female inconsistency occasioned no surprise ts atuributable to the fact that inembers of Women Suffrage aaso- ciations necessarily regard such accidents a3 among the inevitables, several other letters were read, and a timid young woman's righier, with frankness unbecoming tue cause, expressed her fear of powder and shot. But the President redeved her mind by informing those present that when women Icgisiate figuting will ve out of order. An nomeutionable old lady warrior spoke a word for those of her #ex who had done good deeds during the iate campaign, and delicate clamor from still more delicate diglt# testided aa to the appreciation of her audience, Mrs, Spofford went back on her sex by dwelling upon the vices of Southern aud Westera women, who chew, smoke, dip and swear with far more readiness than their depraved husvands, fathers and brothers. Mra. Lozier’s experience in the “Bureau? has muddled her ideas in regard to other furniture, and with fessional digaity she moved that they re- consider the platform which was last week laid on the table. The motion was not seconded. Susan, Elizabeth and Dr. Noeber expreased their views on the fifteenth amendment; and then Susan pitehed into the Bostonians, who, in silver sit and Kid_gloves, suecr far away at the terrible whiet ‘k sul ites are now Waging, and concluded with her usu: Sty, “money.’" e wut of $100,000 mien wodld, cons der not only essential , and why should women be more moderate?

Tivoli Garden, @ charming picnic park, on the outskirts of Newark, N. J., was yesterday the scene of another outbreak of the Sprague excitement. Early in the day the members of the Harness Makers’ Union, and various other labor organiza- tions, accompanied by their wives and sweethearts, gathered at the park and enjoyed themselves in the various ways peculiar to such pleasure gather- ings. The very heavy rain shower which prevaile@ during the middle of the day had a “thinning out’? effect, and hundreds that then left did not deem it prudent to venture out again, especially as the weather continued to look threatening throughout the afternoon. About half-past four o’clock the Senator, accompanied by his host, General Halsted, familiarly known as ‘‘Pet,” arrived in Mr. Cooper's splendid four-in-hand. After some necessary delay Tr. Halsted came to the front of the plattorm and in announcing the presence of Senator Sprague took occasion to make @ few remarks, some- what: similar to those he delivered on the Reoceiiae evening. Mr. John P. Romaine, presi- ent of the Harness Makers’ Union, then introduced Little Rhody, who was received with maniestations of enthusiasm. ‘When the cheering subsided Sena- tor Sprague said, that in response to the invitation of the committee he was here, but owing to the late- ness of the hour would not detaim them with the subject, which, in his judgment was as much the Bree interest as his own. The matter of witich ie whould speak concerned the young and the old, men, women and childret—all were alike interested in the project he had lately advocated for the prosperity and grandeur of the nation. He thanked them for coming out to this pleasant scene to give him a hearing. Ils idea was to assure the safety of the nution, Men will say that there was not that ruin mopendi which he (the Senator) had go frequently decla) hung over us. It is im consequence of the vnequal distribution of property—its accumulation in some places—which gives an appearance of apparent prosperity where thereis none. He pointed to the commerce of the country, which, he sai, was now gone, and particularly to the wool. interest, which wag being absorbed by the capital and iabor of other countries.

The Senator then went on to say that in consequence of the inequalities of prices the tariff was becoming practically a dead letter as led many of the interests of the people. He described the inadequacy of the revenue marine system and its inability to prevent smuggling, and said that our industries were being destroyed by that inefictency. To counteract this we must produce money as cheaply as it 1s furnished in other countries, and the speaker announced bis object in view to be the reduction of the cost of capital until it was as cheap here as in the other countries ome with our lavor. Then we would be enabied to devote all our energies to the develop- ment of our immense resources. The Senator con- cluded by announcing bimseif the advocate of mea- sures which would make the government strong and vigorous, and so give strength to our industries. ‘The Senator withdrew amid loud cheers and cries of “Go on; go on,” and the picnickers resumed their dancing and otuer pleasures. —_—— WESTCHESTER COUNTY.

Durtng the four weeks which have intervened since the jury were last called to- gether every effort in the category of human in- genuity has been brought to bear, in the hope of ex- plaining the e: atioal , but without avail, a6 the mystery yet remains in hideous gloom, defying all attempts at even the possibilit; of solution, The only additional — tes. mony taken yesterday, and which eliciied nothing materially diferent from that already published—was that of the sister of the murdered man and the young iady with whom the deceased was known to be connected in @ business way. ‘These ladies answered the various interrogatorics inded with a frankness which must have {m- pressed the jury with thetr ignorance of any motive which could have prompted the deed.
