The policy contained the foilow- ing stipulation:—"Warrauted not to use porta or places in Texas, except Galveston, nor foreign ports and places in the Gulf of Mexico.” The jury found that while this policy was in force the vessel went to Coatzacoaicos, in the Gull of Mexico, in violation of tho warranice already cited, and that she re- turned in safety and was subsequently destroyed by the perils insured against at Apalachicola on the Bist of August, 1856.

Tubbs.—The piaintitt, Plumb, sold a sot of land in Cattaraugus village to the defendant, in fee of $100, in 1847, with a proviso ercondition after the habendum clause tnat the grantee, his heirs or assigas should not manufacture orsell any intoxicating lquor on the lof finiess Joseph Plumb, his heirs of assignd BiOuid sen other Jand in Cattaraugus without such condition, or should themselyeg manufacture or sell liquor, or should Peet the same on any land in the village, For @ viOlation of the proviso there was to be a for- jen Deiendant did seli intoxicating liquors on e lot, and piaintiff claimed a forieiture, ‘The defence showed that in 1853 the plaintiff sold soive Jots in the village, with the same condiiions; but the grantees reso.d the property to others, with- out the conditions. The plaintuf aiso sold lots to one Mattox on the same condition which Mattox violated, and was not ejected. The defeuce also showed that in! another case the plainuiff soid with the condition, but his grantee resold witkouc the condition, aud that the [ogee sold a giass of ale in that lotin preseuce ot he plaintii’, ‘These three facts the defendant relied on a8 showing a breach of the proviso by the plaintiff, but besides this he insisted that the proviso ‘Was absolutely void, ‘ihe court below rated that the acts of plamultt’s grantees being in violation of the condition of their gract, did aot discharge the con- dition of the decd to the defeudant, aud also over- ruled the general defence, ‘The defendant appeaied trom the judgment, and the general ‘erm aimrmed the judgment on the ground that @ condivion subsequent jimiting the nse of property, if not couirary to law, was good. mm the appeal to the Court the plaintiffs sub- mitted thelr points, ‘The defendants made an elaborate arguinent on the question of the validity of ihe condition, 1t was argued that cond)tions sub- wequent are not favored by the law, and are Dot sus- tained when repayment vo tne nature of the estate granted or insringed on the essential enjoyment and Independent rights of property. Many instances where such conditions were void were cited; that the case came withio none or the authorized excep- tions or wichin the reason of such exceptions. One of those exceptions was that every act which ts pro- hibited by law, or which doth wrong @ man, may probibit by condition; but the sale of liquor was not prohibited by law, and this oondition assumed the rerogative of the State to make law. As for the fatinction taken by the General Term that the condition only aifected the use of land, the use of land made up its whole value, and the distinction was untenable. Counsel Gistinguisnea between this and tie cases in which restraints Were put on buiiding within a certain dis- tance of a street front, that being a species of dedi- cation to the public by which ad pining property of the grantor was benefited, and from the prcnibition of certain uses of piopeity which migut tmjure tne heaith o: the plainud. In that ihe condiiion in this ease, if enforced, secured no benefit to the plawwtiff. Counsel also contended that grantees were assigns tm the meaning of the provisor, aud tat the selling of liquor in bis presence without opjection was per- mitting. ‘The court reserved its decision, SUPIEME COURT=-BENERAL TE? Heal Estate Contracts—Iateresting Question under the Statate of Frauds. BKetore Judges Monell, McCunn and Fithian, Sylvester Brush, Appellant, vs. Lewis S, Levy, Respondent.—This interesting case was tried before Cmef Justice Barbour at Special Term. On the trial of the cause the following state of facts appeared: PiaintiiT and defendant agreed to bid on prop- erty at the New York Exchange. The defendant did the bidding, the plaintiff assenting by a nod to each bid as marc. The property was pur- chased for $50,000, and @ day or two after piaintit tendered to ates nis check for his proportion of purchase monty and charges, according to previ- ous agreement. Deiendant refused to accept the tender or to carry out the agreement, alleging as his Yeagon therefor that his Wife ovjected to partner- ships in real estate. The purchase being deemed a Vaiuable one the plaintiff brought suit to enforce the contract. The suit was resisted on the ground that the contract was void under the statute of fraud. On this state of facts the court heid ‘as conclusive of iaw that there had been a part per- formance within the meaning of the tute; that ‘the defendant was seized of an undivided half of the property as trusceo tor plaintiff, and judgment was accordingly rendered for a conveyance of this Inter. eat to him. From the judgment defendant appealed to the General Term. His counsel contended, on the appeai, that the facta were too tudefinite and vague to constitute a basis fora decree; that the conclusion of a logal tender ofthe muney to be paid was not warranted by the jacta, and that the agreement, being for an interest in lands, and not in writing, ‘was void under the statute of frauds. Counsel for respondent contended that the statute Of frauds could not ve invoked as a shield to punic faith, ita object Log nag Protection of those who, but for the statute, would be the dupes of the design- fog in real estate and other matters of moment, and can only be invoked by a party for the protection of she law from being imposed upon, and not for the prostitution of the law to help him to protect him- self, as a recusant, from the performance of his obli- gations. ision reserved.

Quite @ number of them had, and were wherefore set aside as incompetent, Two jurors were peremptorily challenged on the ground that they entertained @ prejudice against the ciass to which the defendant belonged, and another youthful Teu- tonic citizen Was thought to be incompetent because he was prejudiced against Fourth ward politicians im general.

ALLDCED FORGERY, Singular Allegation Against Mr. Kapp, Come missioner of Emigration. Yesterday afternoon, in the exammation room of the Tombs Police Court, betore Judge Hogan, evi- dence was taken ma charge of torgery against Mr. Frederick Kapp, migration Commissioner and Counselior, Wall street. On the previous day an Application for a warrant for the arrest of Mr, Kapp on this charge was made by Mr. Sherman, counsel- lor, No, 61 Broadway, on behalf of Mrs. Augusta Bowman, the widow of a soldier who died in the army, Judge Hogan deemed the evi- dence inguMcient to justify the iesuing of & warrant, and ultimately, by an arrange- ment with all the parties concerned, a hearing of the case took place yesterday, Mr. Kapp vojun- tarily attending with his books and partner, Mr. Sutz, accompanied by another of his partners, Mr. Burke, who acted as his counsel, Mr. Burke said that there was every desire on the part of Mr. Kapp—and he wished to state it in the presence of the press—to have this matter probed to the bottom and show the animus of the prosecution. Tue complainant was @ poor ignorant woman, who could not read or write, agd they would show that she had not understood the aMoavit that had been repared for her embodying the charge against Mr. ADP, if. Sherman said that he understood that the examination that afternoon was more for the pur- pam of giving Mr. Kapp an opportunity of explain- jug the matter in question thav for the bearing of the evidence for the prosecution. He should not be prepared to complete the case that day, because it would be necessary to obtain documents from Wash- ington and a witness from tue Treasury. ‘The affidavit was then read over to the complain- ant, Mrs, Bowman, which stated that she lived at No. 20 Front street, Brooklyn; that on the 26th of March, 1564, from information she bad received from the United States Treasury she had learned that Mr. Kapp had obtamed $159 36, the said money having been obtained upon ceriticate No. 39,495, issued from the United States Paymaster General's office, and that it was payable to her order; that some time between November, 1563, and March, 1864, he forged the same certificate wi ip type et dorsement and signature of her name. She had not, Until re- cently, any, Knowledge that the said endorsement had b2en nade, and ashe charges that the same Been Meee Se sw nema ta ha fala and in examination by Mr. Burke, counsel for Mr. Kapp, she gaid that when sle went to Mr. Kapp’s oftice in 1864 she saw Mr. Kapp and Mr. sutz together in the office; Mr. Sutz drew up the papers; Mr, Kapp did not know anything about it; she Knew that tne government at Washington had issued @ certificate for the money, because she had seen two letiers that had been read to her from Washington that stated this; she could not read either German or English; the letters aid not con- tain any charge against Mr. Kapp; she bad not had any conversation with Mr, Kapp until after the certificate had been received jrom Washington; she had spoken to several counsellors about it, but not one of them would take 1t up; it was her cousin who had taken ber to Mr. Sherman’s office; had a son, named Au- ustus Bowman, who died in the house she then lived m; could not tell exactly whether ne died m 1863 or 1864; her son was notin the habit of going to the office of Mr. Kapp; he only went once, and that was to take his discharge to Mr, Suts for his claim; the had some letters of her son’s at home. Examined by Mr. Sherman—yniy signed papers once tn Mr. Kapp’e office; fever received any ca either from Mr. Kapp or his partner, Mr. juts. Mr. Sherman said that was the case as far as he could take 16; he should have the documents from Washington in a few days, aud they wouid show the endorsement of the certificate in Mr. Kapp’s band- writing. juaye Hogan said the documents were necessary for the case, and he would adjourn any iurther hear- ing until Monday week, at two o'clock, r. Burke said that there really was no evidence, and pressed for a dismissal. Judge Hogan said that it would be better for all parties that the case stood adjouraed. He should not ask Mr. Kapp to enter into any bail. Practical End of the Scason—Well Earned Gratitude, On the first of this month quarantise operaticn, practically, ceased in the lower bay. No cases of sickness were remaining at that date either on board the hospital ship [liimois or in the hospital building op the island. According to law quaran- tine will terminate 1st of November, but as the cool disinfecting fall breezes have already set in there heed be no apprebension that any further cases of fever will be introduced into this harbor for the remainder of the year 1869. Still of course the necessary precautions will be kept ap until the term regulated by law expires. The Tinois hospi tal snip, after doing brave service for a consid. erabie time in the lower vay, has been overhauled and thoroughly purified and now lies in the vicinity of the Atiautic dock, Brooklyn, snugly housed for the winter and ready when the summer season rolls round nm to proceed once more ou tea dismal duty to its old anchorage in the lower bay. Should any cases of sickness enter the bay between now ‘and the 1st of November there is ample accommo- dation in the hospital on the island to provide for ‘their easy treatment, The impression is, however, that we have seen the ond of the unhealthy season. By comparison with the past five years this has ‘been the heaviest bill of Imported sickness, The cases of yellow fever and smallpox have been much more numerous than in any year sinve 1868; but, thanks to the care and joresight of the quarantine oficers, among whom Dr. Kenneth Reid nobly figures, not a single instance of contagton has visited either shore of the bay, Long Staten Island, not to speak of this great swarming metropolis, where, the seeds or yellow fever once sown, no skill nor sanitary precaution could arrest its (atal bie wo some extent, at least. In 1868 it was different, The con- Bternation that took possession of the natives of Long Island and Staten Istand when the tropical epidemic found its way in among them will long be remembered, Hundreds of deaths resulted and this city was only saved from eg eR by @ apectal interposition of Providence, In the meantime the work goes on for creating out of the shoal water of the lower not far from the present hospital a foundation for @ second receptacie for patients, 50 that by the time quarantine is proclaimed 4 acco! ation will be provided for nearly cages—a number which it is out of all !!kelihood will ever be brought to this harbor at one time.

Rev. Mr. Dooltttle, of Somerville, observed, in the course of the discus- sion, that unless the cause of temperance progressed we would, in short, have no men fit to hold office, An exciting discussion ensued on the question of adopting as the essential platform the propriety of openly advocating proiibition and bringing this question directly before the people. After many spiritual disquisitions by divines the question was decided in the negative by a large yote, The Convention then exhausted the day with speaking of the necessity of securing tem- perate public officers, after which @ resolution to adjourn was passed at five o'clock.

The Review of the Second Division at Prose pect Park Yesterday. The review of the Second division National Guard, under command of Major General Woodward, took Place yesterday at Prospect Park. Tuere was an {mmense attendance of Brooklynites on the grounds the various regiments passed were well filled with spectators, who turned out to do honor to the boys in gray and the boys in blue, On the arrival of the Governor and his stad, who were very enthusl- astically recelved by the crowd, the review began and was watched with great interest through- out by the large number of militia and regalar army officers on the reviewing stand and elsewhere on the ground. The alvision presented @ magnificent appearance, and every regiment turned out strong. The Forty-seventh, Thirteenth and Twenty-third were particularly excelient in their marching. In fact, the entire Bieventn brigade, which is composed of the Forty-seventh, Ttwenty- third, Fifty-aixth and Thirty-second regiments and a howitzer battery, attracted the greatest attention and was loudly appianued in its manwuvrings by ita friends, who Were present in thousands, The same mistakes which Were so prominent im the review ot the Firat division on Wednesday also oc- curred in the marching of the troops, namely, saluting of the reviewing officer and tne keeping of proper distance between companies and company ranks, It would seem, Jud, from certain other errors that were commutted by two or Uhree regiments in approaching the reviewing stand, such as coming from the right shoulder shift to the carry arms fully three hundred yards before the stand was reached even by the bands which preceded them, that cer- tain of the officers ‘lost head” in the excitement of the moment and forgot what they were about. One of the brigades falled to galute with their colors until the color guard nad me the reviewing ofi- cer. There was one thing that was quite piain dur- ing the review, and that was the diferent rate of tbe marching of several of the regiments. several of them took short steps from the start and kept it ‘up till the end, while otners, in making the exact and correct steps, more than one had (0 loge their distances on account of tie defect of their brothers in arma. AS a whole, however, the review of the division was an exceedingly tine one, and reflected great credit on the oiicers who have had the handling of the various regiments and brigades composing it daring the past few years. The majority of the commands will compare favora~ bly with any one of the oldest regiments in the First division, and more than one of them might give the crack corps of New York city a litte trouble in a championship contest. As the review yesterday was the first one the division has made in two years, Brooklyn was evidently devermined to make the most Of {t, and the consequence was tuat a greater gathering assembled at Prospect Park to witness the manwuvres than was ever seen there on any previ- ous public occasion.
