Amoug the Hebrews of every shade of religious opinton this festive day is held inthe highest esteem.

MUSICIPAL AFFAIRS. Board of Aldermen. The Board met yesterday afternoon at two o'clock, with the President, Alderman Coman, in the chair. A number of the ordinary resolutions for grading, &e., were presented and referred to the appropriate committees, The Street Commissioner was directed to remove the booths on the east side of Union Market. ‘The resignation of William B. White, as Alderman of the Seventh district, was received and lald on the table. Alderman Coman then presented the following preambie and resolutions:— Whereas tho great achievements of individual: which by their novelty or the exhibition of unususl daring and courage in their accomplishment reflect credit and renown upon entire communities, should be recognized and acknowledged by those in au- thority, ag well in commendation of the acts per formed and actors directly concerned as to excite in others a spirit of emulation; and Whereas New York being Fagg she @ mari- time city, it is pecullarly the duty of its municipal Authorities to commend and applaud the acts of any of its citizens that tend in a marked manner to @ partiality for aquatic sports and pastimes, thereby encouraging the young and adventurous of our popul ‘acquire & practical knowledge of the science of navigation, and a@ love for the excitement and Derils inseparably connected with the existence of all those who “go down unto the sea in ships”— knowledge certain to result advantageously to the best and chief interests of this city, and which, if pursued with avidity by our young and most pro- minent citizens, is equally certain to result in secur. ing for our people a reputation for skilfui daring and successful enterprise on the sea, second to none other in the world; and Whereas the achievements of our public spirited fellow citizen, James Gordon Bennett, Jr, Esq, in his yachts, the Henrietta and Daunt- less, winning the celebrated ocean yacht race with the former, and with the latter making. one of the quickest passages across the Atlantic ever made by a, Fert) vessel, reflects great renown upon this, bis native city; and as patriotism and generosity are invariably characteristics that accompany courage and daring, and recall in this connection the patriotic tender of the yacht Henrl- etta by Mr. Bennett to the government of the United States at a time when the services of such a vessel w ere of peculiar value, and as such acta of generos- ity, coupled with such chivalrous and persistent efforts to win fame, not only for our city, but for the whole country, on the part of one of our own citl- zens, comparatively so young yet so enterprisin; and successful as Mr. Bennett, is deserving of an should receive the encouragement and commenda- tion of the civic authorities of this municipality; be it therefore Resolved, That the Common Council, the direct representatives of ihe people of this city, for them- selves and on behalf of those they represent, hereby tender their congratulations to James Gordon Ben- net, Jr., Esq., on the success that has attended his efforts to secure for himself and his associates m the New York Yacht Clud a foremost place among the yachtmen of the world; efforts that reflect credit directly upon this, his native city, and that ‘ypity 80 closely the lofty aspirations of the young American sailor; and we ask to assure him that in any subse- quent enterprise of a like character in which he may engage, he will have the individaal sympathy, the hearty good will and active countenance and co- operation of our people and government for its suc- Pelt and triumphant termination; and be it ‘arther Rosolved, That a special committee of, four mem- bers of each branch of the Common Council, includ. mg the presidents of the respective boards, be ap- pointed to have the foregoing preamble and resoiu- tion suitably engrossed, duly authenticated and resented to Mr. Bennett, on behalf of the city of lew York, upon his arrival from England. The resolutions were unauimously adopted, and Aldermen Cushman, Repper and McGrath, with the President (Alderman Coman), were appointed as the special committee. A communication was received from the Counsel to the Corporation im regard to tax- ation of commercial travelters in other States, He gave it aa his opinion that the municipal taxa- tions were such a3 States had no right to enforce when they imposed burdens heavier than those im- posed for citizens of the States in which the reguia- tons exist.

There was no meeting of this Board yesterday afternoon, The assistant clerk called the roll, and only three members answering to their names he ved the Board adjourned tili Thursday next 0 o'clock P. M. PUBLIC EDUCATION Opening of the SchooleChanges In the System. The familiar sight of numbers of childrea wending their way to school greeted the eyes of people yes- terday morning. It was, indeed, a happy, cheering Spectacle to see them coming and going in All Girections, and none of them, apparently, trudg- ing ‘unwillingly to school.” There were greet- ings and welcomings between teachers and pupils, @nd the rolls show a very good muster. There was, of course, not very much done in the classes except reading, writing and pre- paring the lessons for to-day. The renovations and improvements in the buildings and rooms were duly criticised and commented on, notes of how the vaca- tion was spent were compared during recess hour, and many taies of pleasures and adventures particl- pated in were told by the young heroes and heroines, ‘The schools throughout the city opened with what certainiy seemed to be cheering auspices, and the grand system of public education will be continued through the season, no doubt, with its usual suc. cess, The changes contemplated in the ays- tem have already been referred to in the columns of the HERALD, and are such us will undoubtedly aud to its efMfciency. The subject of diving the city into districts and appointing a general superintendent to each is held in abeyance. The project does not meet with much favor from the Cily Superintendent and his present assistants, for the reason, perhaps, that they Imagine such an arrangement would tmply a doubs or their abilities to perform the work of their departinent, Those who favor the idea have certainly never entertained a doubt of the fitness and thorough efliciency of the corps of superintendents, but they believe that examinations could be made more frequently and the work of the superintendents considerabt, leasened by the ple bg plan, and that the ac standing of each school couid be determined more minutely and at shorter intervals. THE GERMAN QUESTION will, of course, be agitated with the usual Teutonic pertinacity, but the ferce efforts beiag made to tn- troduce it in the reguiar course of studies will, no doubt, have the effect of crushing it. The Frencn language is more the language of the Continent than the German, and yet the so-called “German-Amert- can citizens,” in their petition to the Board of Bau- cation, ask to have the bylaws amended go as to read that “Latin and French may be taught tn the supplementafy grades, while German must be in- sorted as a regular study in at least one-third of the achools, and in ail classes from the second grade of the primary, Last the whole number of hours occupied in tea all the public schools was 1,085; in teaching reneh 107 hours were occrpied, and in teaching German 120 houra, There were twelve teachers empioyed in i each of those languages and the cost was:— ‘rench, $7,030; for German, $10,057; so that for twenty-three hours of German (the diiference of timo between the hours occupied in teaching French and Germaa) the cost was $2,427. The German com- mittee are working diligently to impress upon the school oficers an idea of what they consider the absolute importance of having German incorporated in the course of studies, while the plan of the rusian pabite schools shows that no language but German ts included tn the course of studies there pursued. The question will, no doubt, be warmly argued, and, if the Germans win, will give rime to other petitions of as much weight from ‘American citizens of o:her nationalities, it may possibly occur that &@ movement wil be made to Fave Chinese taught in some of the schools, as the infinx of cooltes and the growing intercourse bo | tween the United States ang China demand consid- eration. THE FRER COLLBGR will not be opened until the 16th inst., and before that tle there will be a debate on languages at a | meeting of the trastees to be held for that purpose. ‘Tne professorship of the Latin and Greek languages is vacant, and numerous applications for the position are in the bands of the executive committee, Messrs. W. B. Stiber and Fitzgeratd ‘Tisdale, both tutors 1m the department, are working untiringly to obtain the appointment.

Captain Petty, of the Fifth precinct, and quite a number of the men attached to his force, also the two doormen employed in the station house, ap- the bare oung man was bardly thé thing. Before sh! the'geods ha tong Capon gered of business as lence, it was worth while to tel h Messrs, ‘oods & Yeatman, and he did tel ph them. Then came back the following reply:— Exre, Tenn., Sept. 4, 1869. To Day & Hareny, 148 Canal street, New York :— liam Morris 1s hot authorized to buy goods for us. Messrs. Day & Halsey unboxed their goods and replaced them on their shelves. This telegram, with about the lightning speed it came from far aw: Tennessee, sped on its circuit among those who hi been selling their goods to Mr. Morris. To some it came in time to save them from loss. To others it came too late, the goods they had sold having beon shipped as per orders, In plain Saxon, this was a pretty go. Telegrams poured in lively upon lessrs. Langley & Kincaird, Cincinnati, to hold the goods in thelr care, which telegrams, happliy, in Taany cases were in season. The number of victims of shis young man’s stories is not yet known. It is understood that he has purchased $60,000 worth of goods at least, and perhaps two or three times that amount. As far as known he commenced his purchases on the Sth of last month, and having kept atit three weeks undetected,tand in fact, unsuspected the aggregate of his bills must certainly be large. Among his known victims ure Maynard, Wells & Co., peared at the Coroner's oMfce yesterday morning to give their testimony in the case of Jacob Berkle, the German emigrant alleged to have been brutally beaten by three or four officers without psovocation, It will be seen by a synopsis of the testimony given below that all the witnesses positively deny clubbing Berkle, a3 he sets fortn in his statement heretefore reported, Dr. Nealis, of the ity Prison, who examined the wounds of the injured man, 1s of the opinion they were inflicted by some blunt instrument. Captain Jeremiah Petty, of the Fifth precinct, testified that at the time of Jacob Berkle’s arrost for intoxication, on the 27th ult., he (the Captain) was out of town; he always gave orders that no prisoner should be clubbed, and more especially in the station house;-and feels satisfied that the Inspector under him would see his orders carried out in that respect.

The desire to sell goods is no doubt a “ruling passion strong” with ail merchants, but how so many of them could be so effectually victimized as in this case is at once a marvel and a mystery, The facts of the case are briefy told, and if not materially adorning the narrative, at least potut an unnnistak- able moral. A few days ago, hurriedly stepping in and out of leading mercantile establishments, wholesale deal- ers In dry goods, groceries, crockery, boots and shoes, and hardware and the whole catalogue of merchautable goods, in fact, and with a sprightly business air and dash of go-ahead about him which, with good clothes, fine manners and a voluble tongue, 0 a good way in one’s favor and leave a prepos- sossing effect, Was a young man giving his name as William Morris. He has a pleasant address, clear, bold look of the eye and spoke promptly and to tho point. He signified his wish to purchase goods as agent of Woods, Yeatman & Co., of the Cumberland Iron Works, of Tennessee, He looked every inch such an sane as this well known firm would probably send, He looked and smiled and talked as such an agent might be expected to look and smile and talk, He stated that he knew his business. He showed that he was @ good judge of goods. He quickly ran through the stock, quickly made his selections and was A free and liberal buyer. The pti concluded, he quietly gave directions as to the shi ment of the goods, which were to be sent to W Yeatman & Co., In care of Messrs. Langle: caird, Cinctnnati, ordered them account, received smiled if is, & Kin- to be charged to the bills of lading, bowed and be more pleasantly than when he came in, and then left. fe went on swimmin; Everybody believed him and sold him goods, feasor in the coll of St. Francis ‘Kavier, one of he most Anished @nd Grock scholars in the James E.

Shortly after the re- ceipt of the telegram given above the police were put on his track and the result was his arrest and conveyance to the Tombs, as a prisoner. Mr. Asa R. Runyon, salesman for the firm of William J. Peake & Co., made an aff- dave, setting forth that on the 5th of Al last the accused came into their place of busin sented that he had an order from Woods, Yeatman & Co., of the Cumberland Ironworks, of Tenhessee. to buy goods on their account; believing this state- ment to be true he sold him a bill of dry goods to the amount of $8600 to the credit of Woods, Yeatman & Co.; by direction of the accused the goods thus gold were shipped to Woods, Yeatman & Co., in care of Lang- ley’ & —Kincaird, Oineinuau;” the bilis of lading were delivered to the accused; he had since learned from Mr. James E. Hatsey that he had sold gocds tothe same party under similar representations; Mr. Halsey also toki him that he had telegraphed to Woods, Yeatman & Co. to learn whether Morris was their agent for the purchase of goods, and that he had received a tele- gram denying his authority to buy goods on their account, James E. Halsey, of the firm of Day & Halsey, im anotiier afklavit set forth that on or about the 25th of August the accused through similar representations to those detatied above, pur- chased of him a bill of goods awounting to about $3,000, with the same directions as to shipping them. Before shipping them he telegraphed to Woods & Yeatman to ascertain if the said Morns ‘was authorized to buy goods on their account, and received a reply denying giving any such authority. The telegram given above was affixed to the affidavit, Others of the com- plainants who were present stood ready to made similar affidavits, but Aldermen O'Brien, be- fore whom they appeared, thought this unneces- sary, at least atthe present stage of the proceed- ings. After these aMfidavits were taken the prisoner was consigned, in default of bail, to a cell inskle to await further examination, which was set dowa for ten A. M. next Friday. The prisoner seems very little disconcerted at his arrest. He does not evince half the excitement or concern of his merchant creditors and victims, SINGULAR REVELATION OF CRIME.

One of the latest of these mysterious revelations was made yesterday morning. A young man—and now that he is dead and beyond the power of vindicating himself at any earthly tribunal, we forbear giving his name—was drowned, a few days since, at Cape May. On exam- ining his trunk aphotograph was found ofa young man Known by the name of Martin Leland, and also letters addressed to him. These letters pointed clearly, as alleged, to Leland as one of the principals in a little pecuniary transaction in the City of Brotherly Love. This transaction was of this nature:—A gentleman recently called at ‘one of the offices of the City Department and bought @ “city warrant, Highway Department,” of the value of $233 95. This was all well enough, but two hours afterwards two forged warrants for the same amount were sold to Bryan & Co, and Pearson & Thompson, two firms of brokers. Mr. Charles K. Willetts, employed at J. A. Ridgway’s office, No. 57 South Third street, Philadelphia, kap- pened to see the photograph of Leland, and at once idencifed it as the likeness of the young man purchasing the original warrant, A search was consequently instituted for Leiand and he was found in this city, and being found was arrested aud locked up iu the Tombs, Mr. Willetts having mace an affidavit to the leading jacts, as stated above, the accused was this morning brought before Alderman O’Brien and remanded to await @ requisition trou the Governor of Pennsylvania for his conve; to Philadelphia and trial there upon @ charm of forger: The accused isa young man of gente and prepossessing appeaiance, He has lived for several years past in this city, and until receatly was employed as a clerk in a promment legal firm, Hardiy had he been remanded to prison when he Was taken on a writ of habeas corpas before the Su- perior Court. Having arrived before Judge McCunn the releaso of the defendant was asked for this morning, on the ground that neither the committal nor tie afidaytis upon which It was based set forth facis suflicient to constitute the crime alleged. The following aflidavit by Cariisie R. Willetts is the one referred to:— Martin Leland, here present, came to, the place of bust- ness of J. E. Ridgway, at No. 67 6outh Third street, in the elty of Philadelphia, ava br a city warrant of the city of Philadelphia, Highway ment jasue, drawn to the order of Abraham hulte Tor the sum of 288 93. That two hours afterward two forged warrants were sold, which were ‘an exact copy of the warrant sold to the sald Leiand—one to Brown & Co. and the other to Pearson & Thomson, who are brokers, doing Lusinesa in the city of Philadelphia.

Deponent further gave that sald Martin Leland is now a fugitive from justice from the city of Philadelphia on the above mentioned charge of forgery, and deponent therefore prays that sald Martin Leland may be he vait requisition from the Governor of the State of Peni ia on the charge of forgery.

At about three o'clock the persons present, number- ing about 100, were cailed to order and Mr. 8. Blum was called to preside. In taking the chair Mr. Blum made a speech, regretting that so smali a percentage of the cigar trade in the city and ite vicinity was represented. But he hoped that this Would not deier those present from proceeaing with the work now opened to protect thelr rights, as all the others who still hold back wil! gradually come in, The objects of the proposed organization, Mr. Blum declared to be, not to make opposition to the laws of the United States, but to procure some relief from the chicanery of some of the underlings, who seek to explain certain proyisions of the reve- nue laws to the oppression of thetr trade. The: were aikready and willing, and he hoped that there Was none to oppose it, that ihe Union war debt be paid, and hence that ii just impositions of taxes ve Tairly met. But he knew that some of the exac- tions should be opposed, meaning of the law. He himself, Mr. Blum, was airested on the charge (hat he had soid untaxed cigars.

The reason possible to assign for the apparent disre; of this fact by the Board of Trust jes in. the coincidence, if the circumstance can 80 be termed, that a majority of the H trustees are also members of the Unioh Ferry, Company. The rates now pala by p% tients at the hospttal range from five doliar dollars per week, which sum could readily be re+ duced to a merely nominal cost: say one a Pere haps even less, tere the fund sufilciently aa: to admit of so doing.
