Atter conversing for some time Thompson asked him to walk up the street with him, as he bad a little business to transact, and while proceeding up Thirty-first street together they met Johnson, who asked him to a bill he owed nim, amounting to $500, Thompson produced @ $1,000 bill and offered it to Johnson, but the latter veing unable to change it Thompson asked Deman to loan him the amount until he could get to the depot, when he would make tt ail right, offering hima check for $2,400 as security.

From the information gleaned from the police and other sources tt appears that between six and seven o’clock yesterday morn- ing Charles M. Simonson, assistant treasurer and paymaster of the Harlem Railroad Company, pro- ceeded to the Filth National Bank, in Third avenue, near Twenty-sixth street, and at that early hour drew $19,000 in current funds for the purpose of pay- ing off the employés of the upper section, He left the bank with the money in a black bag, which he car- ried in his nand, and turned into Iwenty-sixth street, towards Lexington avenue, When about midway between the avenues named three rumans set upon him, and belore he could offer resistance knocked him down and possessed the prize. They at once started fora butcher’s cart, that had turned into the street from Third avenue, when Mr. Simon- son sprang to his feet and pursued. Drawing their re- volvers one of them knocked him down, and threat- ening to kill nim if he tollowed they gained the cart and started for Third avenue. Some.workmet on a new building ran to Mr. Simonaon’s assistance and endeavored to intercept the escape of the cart and its living freight, but wore intimidated, and the cart escaped up Third avenue at a rapid rate of speed, 4A gentleman in the savings bank near the corner reyorta that while Mr. Simonson was in the Fifth National Bank he observed a butcher's cart, in which there was but one man, drive down Third avenue to the corner of 'T'wenty-#ixta street, where it halted. After Mr. Simonson turned the corner 1b followed him down towards Lexington avenue and turned about, facing Third avenue. A moment later it drove rapidly around the corner, up the avenue, Mr. Simonson was 80 unexpectedly atiacked and knocked down that he could give no description of the men or horse. From the laborers a description of one of the men was obtained, and subsequently oMcers Young and Henberd, of the Kighteenth precinct, arrested ‘Thomas Hart, aged twenty-two years, residing in Thirty-iith street, between Sixth and Seventh avenues, on sus- Ppicion of being one of the ruflans. While 1: is alleged that be 4s a notorious oifender and is known to have been near by, no person can recognize him as one of the parties who actually participated in the robbery. Captain Cameron and his detectives are exerting themselves to secure the offenders, but their capture is very doubtful. r, Simonson is a relative of Commodore Vander- bilt, his father, Charles Simonson, of Staten Island, being the Commodore’s nephew. It Is believed that the thieves were well posted as to Mr. Simonson’s habits and the amount of money he is accustomed to draw to pay off the men, THE RIVER MYSTERY, Supposed Foul Murder—No Clue to the Perpe- trators—Thoe Body Not Identified—Medical ‘Testimony. ‘The case of the man found floating off pier No. 1 North river with several marks of violence about his head, face and body, aa heretotore fully reported in the HERALD, 1s still involved in mvstery, and, ac- cording to present indications, promises to remain 80 for some time to come. It has been positively ascertained that the body of the deceased was not that of Michae! Nehil, the night watchman of pier No. 49 North river, ag at first suppose t, he peing alive and well. Mr. Murpliy, of Castle Garden, was decidedly mis- taken in bis identification of the remains. So cer- tain was he the remains were those of Mr. Nenil that on cailing on the reiatives on Wednesday evening to inquire the reason wily they had not been down to Castle Garden to ciatm the body he came near becoming involved in @ quarrei with them, Murphy stil insisted that the body found was that of Mr. Nehti, and continued in shat beilef till the sup- fest murdered man made bis appearance in person fore him. Irom the publicity already given to the matter it 1s only natural to suppose that the rela. tives or friends of deceased would ere ths have appeared to identify and claim the body for inter- ment; but up to late yesterday afternoon no one had come forward to i nize deceased or even make inquiries ca any le ‘ooster Beach, M. D., yesterday made a post- Mortem examination of the body, and oreo there was no fracture of the skull several of iis ribs had been crushed in and other bad marks of violence were discovered. What increases the mys- tery is the fact that, in the opinion of Dr. Beach, the injuries were inflicted before deatu. This gives coloring to the theory that deceased was attacked, robbed and fatetly beaten by river thieves, who, to lew vheir crue, threw their victim overboard to jrown. Captam Todd, of the Harbor police, takes a great interest in the matier, and 1s using his uimost exer- tions to unravel the mystery by bringing the guilty parties to justice. _ Subjoimed wili be found @ report of the medicat testiinony furnished by Dr. Beach:— POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION, Wooster Beach, M. D., peiag sworn, says—I have made & post-mortem examination of the body of deceased at Bellevue Hospital, at eleven o'clock A, M., September 23; body was of large size and well nourished; the following marks are found exter- nally:—first, a cut an inch in length, quarter of an meh deep, on the cheek, tn front of the left ear; two marks of bruises about two inches over the outer angie of tne leit eye on the forencad; between these bruises and the cut was considerable tumefaction; over right ear was a large swelling, apparently from eifusgd Quid beneath; on the left elbow on the outer Was 2 small abrasion, and a similar mark ou the lett knee; turning back the scalp edused nuid was formed about the cut before mentioned on the left side and also beneath the sweiling on the night wide, the latter ex’ending over s large sufmace and being very consider..cie in quantity; the skull was not fraciured; the brain was normal; opening the chest, the fourth, fifth and sixth ribs on the left side, the fourth and fifth on the rightside were foand fractured, with considerable eccaymosis around the parts; there was a slight patch of old fibrinons deposit ta the heart, other than this all the other viscera were healtiy; the stomach contained abouta pintoft clear fluid, asmall amount of feculent matter and nothing else; the wounds, m my opinion, were insufficient to produce immediate death; from the circumstances of the case and the appearances observed I consider death resulted from drowning. ‘Aa yet no witnesses have appeared to give evi- dence in the matter, and until some testimony can be procured} Coroner Keenan will postpone the investigation, In the mean time, however, a jury will be empanelied to view the body, so that it can be buried, The artist attached to bellevue Hospital yesterday took a likener of deceaseu for the purpose of identlication.

NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER *24, 1869—TRIPLE SHEET. THE FULTON STREET SHRINE. Twelfth Anniversary of the Noon Prayer Meetings in the Old North Dutch Church— Large Attendance and Interesting Exercises, One of the established features of metropolitan hfe, as much so as the theatre or the opera or the Grives in the Park, have been the dally noon prayer meetings at the Old North Dutch church, corner of Fulton aad William streets, Steadily as the noon- day #un reached its meridian, through winter's cold and summer's heat, through storm and sunshine, through war and peace, through panica and tides of prosperity and through all the varying vicissitudes of the busy metropolitan life, have been held here during the past twelve years the daily prayer meet- ing. As is well Known al! denominations attended these meetings. There was a common platform, @ common zeai and @ common persistency in keeping the meetings up, Yesterday being the twelfth anniversary of the establishment of these meetings the church was completely crowded and the exercises took @ broader range than usual, various addresses being sandwiched between the praying and singing, and continuing the mecting considerably beyond the ordinery time, Over the pulpit, wrought in flowers, was that epigrammatical scriptural quotation, ‘Pray- ing always,” directly above this, also fabricated from the same material, the date **1769,"" the year Ir which the chureh was built; to the left of the latter the date +1857,” referring to the mitiatory period of the daily prayer meetings, and to the right the date 1869," indicaung the precise period of the nine- teenth century to which we have arrived. As might be expected, the clergy of the city was largely vepre- ited the most occupying seats in front of the pulp: ‘The exercises opened with the singing of the hymn beginning with tne verse My nou), repeat Hie praise, howe mercies are so great, Whose anger i# 90 slow to rise, So ready to abate. After which Rev. Mr. MoNalr, junior pastor of the church, read the 116th Peaim, and then made a few introductory remarks. He referred to the dates appearing on the wall alluded to above, and the various epochs they represented.

Netwithstand the Hackensack Club is consid- erably the older organization, bets were ten to ix 1n favor of the Paterson crew, and the few who hac wagered on the La Favorita were extremely anxious to “hedge” when the auperior stroke of the Dundee ‘was geen.
