ANen,—It will be remembered that the full particulars of ais case appeared in the Wekav @ few days since. The son of the lady, whois an Episcopal minister, seeks to prove bis other Insane and to get possession of her property an consequence, Judge Cardozo had delivered the following opinion ia the prewises:— To subject the person and property of a lady to ¢ ‘the custody and care of others on the ground of her Detng of unsound mind 1s always a matter of great Selcacy and importance, while it ts not posstble to too cautious, only intend now to oy that this case presents some considera- tions which impress.) me with the — belief what certainly it should form no exception to that general rule, if, Indeed, it does not demand unu- : sual clreumspection. 1 have concluded, therefore, wpon a Very careful eXamination of the papers, to direct @ reference to asceriain the mental condition . of Mrs, Allen at the present time, and In view of the grayity of the inquiry and of twe peculiar circum. slances attribated to the case, I nave determined to call WO my aid, ag reference, Mr. Nathaniel Jarvis, dr., Whose judgment the community generally will respect, and on whose opinion my jndicral con- science, for the information and satisiaction of Wich the reference is ordered, can rest with perfect confidence, The referee wii report the evidenc With bis opinion; and, should he think it necessary or advisable, the lady must submit to such exami- Nation as he hay approve, elther by kimseit or such oiler geptieman as he inay select; and he Wil imeorporate in bis report the’ substance ‘of any such interviews and a statement of the effes made upon his inind by them. In the meanwiile an order may be entered staying al) proceedings in the Jonagy matter, except to prosecute the reference, and dpon the coming in of the referee’s report L will Rear the counsel further upon this application, on Re: two tiays' notice by either side to the ovher. As those who institute the proceedings to declare this Jady alanatto, waited, according to their own version, tor a period of three years before moving in the matter and tt does not appear that there is any especial reason for hasie now, no harm can hap- en by the little delay incident to the reference, While, if the lady be right in her assertions (upon wiuch, of course, do not mean to intimate any opinion at present), the consummation of a jonatrous Wrong will be prevented. COURT OF OYER AND TERMINER, Bria! of Policeman Matthew Campbell for the Alleged Murder of Maurice Long—One of the Jury Sick—The Trial Adjourned to Monday. SROOND DAY. Before Judge Cardozo, The People vx, Matthew Campbev.—The court room esterday was crowded to the doors, and standing oom even for one more could not by any possi- Dility be obtained. The interest felt by the large 2Towd of spectators in the proceedings was far more ‘Sntense thay was exhibited on the first day, as might be inferrea from the low buzz of conversation which van through the assemblage for nearly an bour be- fore Judge Cardozo took iis seat on the bench, At eleven o'clock the prisoner, Who Was attired im the sammer uniform of the force, was brought into court bandcuffed and in the custody of two deputy sheriffs, He is a young man of about twenty-eight years of age, tall and lithe in figure, and ou the whole preacnis rather & quiet demeanor, + The court opened at half-past eleven o'clock and ‘the jurers having answered to their names, except one, who Was sick, several other Jurors who had beep summoned were called aud challenged for Various sufficient reasons, Mr. Charles Spencer, associated with Mr. Vander- Poe! to defend the prisoner, then expressed his de- wire to have the case adjourned to a future day. » Mr, Robert Holmes saul that if this jary should be Bbsolutely discharged now fer the reason that ane A Of their number was sick it mignt be a question for @ court of review, and perhaps that pro- ecoeding might be fatal to the case of the peo- je. His suggestion was, therefore this:— le had leoked into this case and carefully, ex- amined the facts, aud he feit bound to < way that his learned and esteemed friend the District Attorney would not say to the court that he deemed this case to be a case of murder, even on the ex parte statements which he bad before him, If Rot a case of murder in the first degree it then be. came a bailable case, If the District Attorney 3 Should make that suggestion by all means let this | Mau ve bailed. Let passion cool with the coolness o! the weather, and lei this man be tried in October. The only question to be decided here was, was tls a Dallable case; or, in other words, did the District Attorney deem this a case of murder in the first de- gree? To keep this man tn prison during the months Of Angnst and September he deemed to be a cruelty, Judge Cardozo—I don’t think any of you gentie- men are meee. how long this Oyer and Terminer | ‘Wil sit.

He held that a public officer, be he district attorney, judge, juror or po- Heeman, should ve held up to the Jaw, and If he was guilty of apy ofence he must be convicted like an, other man. He was not prepared to say that this was not 8 case of innrier. Neither was he prepared 5 to say it Was a case Of murder. Therefore te suould a Jet it take the Ordiyary course.

Every precaution that could be taken under the circumstances wag observed to prevent the spread of “the malady, but without success, and for forty days the passengers were exposed to the ravages of the dis- ease, which dmly assumed a more threatening aspect, One patient died at sea and was hastily consigned to the ocean, and when the vessel reached New York one-tenth of her passengers were pros- trated with the malady. Immediately upon the arrival of the Admiral at the lower quarantine the sick were removed to the Smalipox Hospital at Biackweil’s Island, Most of the cases are children, and all areof the most ma- liguant type. ‘The other passengers are detained on board the vessel, and every measure necessary to check the further appearance of the disease, such as vacemation of all on board and fumigation of the Vessel, has been acopted, The admiral has hitherto had the veputation of veing a very bealthy ship, this being the first in- stance of her bringing contagion dota port, ‘the ship Cynosure, Captain Teeveus, with forty- one passengers, also arrived this morning, forty- three days from Liverpool, all well op board. No new cases of cholera or yellow fever are reported at quarantine, althougd several steamers aud sailing vessels have arrived within a day or two from tue West Indies and Brazil.

Every family should see that its place of residence and the gutters adja- cent toit are kept thoroughly clean, and the green apples, peaches and other deadly fruits for sale at the street corners should be avoided as poisonous things, Unless such precautions are taken the cholera may be upon us suddenly apd with as great violence as in the terrible years of pestilence from which New York and lier sister cities have previous. ly sudfered, THE PUBLIC HEALTH, An Alleged Brooklyn Nuisance—Children Sicken and Strong Men Vomit—The Public Denonnce It—A Health Official Loves It. Jn the proceedings of the Board of Health from ume to time action has occurred upon the acetic manufactory of Sprague & Close, corner of Flushing and Carlton avenues, Brooklyn. The subject was first brought to the attention of the Board by a report from Dr. H. C. Stiles, Assis t- ant Sanitary Superintendent, in which he eloquently portrayed the danger to life from the sickening chemical fames that were thrown into the air by the establishment, which was run without a permit from the Board. The Board, on his report, issued an order for its discontinuance, and the firm came in for a hearing before the referee. The evidence that was for and against the firm was submitted to the Board, tho chief complainants being Colonel Broome and off- cers of the United States marines, whose barracks are near by. The Board heard argument by de- fendants’ counsel and District Attorney Morris on last Wednesday week, and gave the firm a week's Brace to enadje them to tipprove upon their mode of manufacture, instructing Dr. Stiles, in the mean- time, to watch the place, and report whether the same continued to be offensive, and whether a per mit ought to be issued. So much for the action of the Board last week. During the week the smell, it is alleged, became so insuferable that Mr. Morris, at the request of citizens, caused the a heap to be arrested by the police for committing a nuisance, and it was tem- porarily abated. On Wednesday last, at @ meeting of the Board of Health, the matter again came up, When Mr. Spencer and hjs clients ana District Attorney Mayris were tn ailendance, he, clerk presented the following re- port from Dr. Stiles—the same Dr. Stiles, be it re- membered, who originally reported against the supported bis report by an alleged nuisance ans eloquent appeai [or Its abatement: — OFFICE ABSISTANT SANLTARY SUPERINTENDENT, Pronk YN, Jal: 1869. { Ewrnaon CLARK, Secretary etropestiag loard of Health :— Sim—The Board's resolution of Wednesday last, reguired the Assistant Sanitary Superintenden t for Brookiya t9 Fapo concerning the acetic acid faciory at the corner of Flash and Carleton avenues, {n tlis clty-~frst, whether the sai continues to be offensive, and, second, whether a permit Ought to be issued. ‘he former of these Qneattons fy not bp nH (9 Ahewor.

CoLonavod RIVER ExrLowiw~e EXPEDITION, CAMP IN RED CANON, GREEN RIVER, July 8, 1969; } To rae EDITOR OF THB Curcace L¥enine Jour- NAL The object of the expedition of which T am a member is well known to the readers of your paper, and anything in regard to it is unnecessary at this me. Our boats having arrived at Green River City, on the Union Paciic Ratiroad, were launched on the 24th of May and loaded with the freight, consisting of the Instruments necessary for the scientific work of the expedition and provisions, chiefly four, bacon, coffee and sugar, with such other creature comforts as the nature of the voyage and the capacity of the boats would allow. We were tpavousits tired of our sojourn at Green River City, which is situated in a desolate region, surrounded by sandy, barren biuffs, and at one o'clock in the afternoon of the 24th we rowed into the stream and were soon out of aight of the town. Dropping down the river ten or tweive miles we landed and camped in a cottonwood grove, well Batisfied with the trial trip of onr Jiftie feet of four amal! boats, which were built with all the ‘logic’? displayed tn the construction of the ‘wonderful one- hoss shay.” . Continuing on onr voyage the next morning, we made a distance of seventy miles during the 26th and 26th, and on the 27th passed the mouth of Henry’s Fork—a smail stream tlowms into Green river from the west-—when the vertical walls of “Flaming Gorge,”’ the entrance to the apper cadon of the Green, came in view, but a few miles distant, Aa we entered the narrow vadon the walis of bril- liant red sandstone, rising to a helgnt of 1,200 feet, looked threatentog and ominons. The low, narrow banks between the river and the walls were covered with cotionwood and box elder. We remamed at this place during the 26th and 20th, engaged in measuring the height of tne wal.s of the cafion, collecting forsila, mending broken in- struments, &c., and resumed our voyage again on the s0th. Through this cafon the river has cuta narrow channe! a distance of mfiy miles, with often jnst suMcient room for the water to flow between the walls, leaving uo bank of dirt or rock on either side, Sometimes, at irregular intervals, are low, narrow banks of sandy soil, dotted with sinall groves of cottonwood trees, with an undergrowth of box elder, Wid grapevines trail on tbe ground or fes- toon the undergrowth of the groves. Flocks of wid geese paddle in the shoal water along the banks or hurry across the rapid current in front of our boats as we pass. ‘Ihe stream is comparatively sluggish for some distance from the entrance, ana then fin pnd Increases in speed till it becomes a mountain torrent, with often a succession of rapids and cataracts, when the bed of the river 1s encum- bered with large rocks, that sometiines rise @ num- ber of feet above the water. On the night of the 20th we camped at a hend of the river, which we called Beehive Point, from the ap- Pearance of a cliff, on the left sie of tbe river, Tounded to the s! of adome at the top, and cov- ered with cella carved by the action of the water Surine some past age, to Which banieeds cea walicee had built thetr nests of clay. As the swallows Alt about the cll they look like swarms of bees, aud the cliff has the appearance of a colossal beehive. Opposite this cliff, and where we cainped, is a vast amphitheatre, com of & succession of terraces, rising to a height of 1,500 feet; each platform or ter- race is built of red sandstone, and the space between isa tle slope clothed in green verdure, and on which a row of pine trees grow in the arc of a circle, ‘and the ampnitheatre ts painted with alternate bands of cont and red. As we near this marvellous work of nature in our little boats, a herd of Mountain sheep are seen standing in #-line on @ terrace 200 or 300 feet above the river; and as they remain motioniess, watching our approach, they look like statues exquisitely cbiselied by some mag: ter artist, and we are half surprised to see them sud- denly wheel around, like a platoon of well drilled soldiers, und leaping greene to a platform above, Me again into line and eye us with suspicion as we land our boats, This animal is much larger than the domestic sheep, and 18 pursved by hunters op ac- count of the fine flavor of his meat; but is less fre- quently secured than other game becanse of the ease and rapidity with which be climbs the highest lifts and most Feder dg peaks, of which he is soyereign and fole inheritor. Continuing our way from this place on the morn- ing of theSist, it became necessary to proceed wiilt the greatest caution, as the rapids becaine more and more dangerons; and the moat skilful handling of the was required to pre- vent the boats from bel buried by tne water against the rocks that strewed the bed ot the river and Qashed to pieces. Finiing now only a succession of rapids, many of which we to let the boats over with ropes, we proceeded in this man- ner. The light it, CATT ng no frelyht, and man- P ned by two eR and & plot, the commander of the expedition, took the lead. The pilot, closely obse: the best course to take to avoid the rocks, Tan the boat ashore a8 goon as ble after running the rapids, and then signalied the dtrection with a red flag to the other boats, which were often half filiea by the Waves and breakers of the rapids, ana Uf the next rapid was thought to be practicable, we Towed into the stream and the current soon carried us to the next signal station, In this manner twenty-five or thirty miles were mace during the Sist of oa nd the ist day of June, and oo the ts noon of the latter day we came to a direct fall of twelve or fourteen feet. The current is scarcely perceptible for some distance above the falls, and we ran our boats ashore, without danger, within bute few feet of where the water makes a per- dicular descent, and is beaten into foam on he rocks below. On the morning of the 2d we un- loaded our boats and let them over the falls by tying a@rope vo either end of a boat, and then fastening ne of t fo rupee to rock below the falls held the oat we the other st pike from our hands by the of the water, but held by the rope below, and y cleven o'clock in the morning the portage ras nie we contt ie Sale the stream. ver locity of Current now steadily increased tll we Qttained a fate of almost raliroad speed.

SAVAGE ATTEMPT AT MURDER AND SUICIDE OF THB MURDERER, Again we are called upon to give the details of one of those terrinie deeds of dood which occur at mtervals m all large cities, in its features forcibly recalling the Cowan butchery of many years ago or the Esbach horror of more recent date. The vic- tims of the present heartrending affair were Joho Meagher, aged forty, and his wife, Mary Meagher, some ten years younger, both natives of Ireland. About fifteen years since Meagher, who was then an industrious, thrifty young tailor, of sober, temperate habits, married the woman who has become his victim. ‘Three years ago John gave up his trade and commenced driving an express wagon, and from that time the rain of the fazaily can be dated, as he began bers | to excess. Often, when under the influence of drink, he would whi and otherwise abuse the wife toward whom tie hi previously only shown the greatest Kindness, Re~ cently he had failed entirely to assist in supporting his family, and the wife found that to gain the m saries of life for herself and four children she must toll neraelf, and, being a woman of unusual energy, she got work at keeplay Insurance companies caret on Front street in order, for which she receiv aumMicient remuueration to furnish fands to keep her family comfortable. Buch was the passion of the hug- band for strong drink that he continually forced the wife to give her hard earned money to purchare pale 0 During the past few days he was some- what changed, and made constant endeavors to get some sort of work to do, at a late hour last night calling on Dr. Maley, who had often before rendered nim many favors, for a letter to the superintendent at Eden Park, requesting work for him. From Dr. Maley's he went to his home, located in the second story ofa three story brick, No. 103 Second street, where he again commenced to violently abuse his wife because she wonld not give him a dollar to bi whiskey. Finding his abuse of no avail, he ret to bed and was soon. followed by his wife, when ail became qulet. A little befor four o’clock this morn- ing the Woman got up and commenced her house. hold work by sprinkitng 4 large lot or clothing that she had washed the night before for some of the neighbors, Soon afterwards the other families tying in the house were aroused by hearing Meagher oursing his wife because she still adhered her determination not to give him funds, - At last his abuse became so intolerable that the wife ordered him to leave the house, to which he ‘I will Ax you,” and at —wnich, unfortunately, ove—Btriking her 8 ter happened to be behind the rhe blow over the head, making & tear! gas, and laying her insensible at his feet.

At the tast account the poor victim exhibited some signs of consciousuess. ¢ SUICIDE OF A YOUNG MAN FOR LOVE. The suicide is Emti Jaworski, a young Pole, twenty- two yeara of age, who was engaged in the list reva- lution of his fatherland, and was compelled to flee the country td save his lie, He sought an asylum in América, and came, we believe, almost immedi- ately to this city.
