Marsh, the Wall Street Forger, Sent to the State Prison—Conviction of a Highway Robber, Before Judge Bedford. At the opening of the court yesterday August Schneider, who was charged with forgery in the third degree, pleaded guilty to the fourtn grade of that offence. On the 28th of August he hired of George Helm, No, 41 Eldridge street, a portion of the premises, for which he tendered in payment for the rent a check purporting to be drawn by Louts Miller on the Bull’s Head Bank for the sum of forty-five dollars. The amount of the rent was thirty dollars, and Helm, believing the check to be gave him ‘the fifteen dollars, He subsequently discovered that it was a forgery. Counsel for tn peicoee: asked for a postponement of the sentence, in order that he might show his previous oe character. Jus aford thereupon exhibited a number of other checks, which the officer found in possession of the peacaat, by means of which he intended to swindle tp atey Bin Tee eae Motion was summart posed w! y his Honor sentencing Schneider, alias Ahern, to the State Prison for two years, David Marsh, alias Henry Millar, who was tried and convicted on the 28th of September of forgery in the third degree, was placed at the oar for sentence. Assistant District Attorney Hutchings made some interesting remarks about the case, in the course of which he said that the prisoner was found guilty of deirauding C.. Harvier, a gold broker in Exchange place, of the sum of $16,000; that he was connected with @ party of men who had defrauded bankers and merchants out of @ sum probably between $250,000 and $300, 000; that the prisoner was arrested through the exertion and skill of Captain Jourdan, Afcer his conviction the prisoner was re- manded for the purpose of seeing if he would make any disclosures 4s to what had become of the money which had been procured by these forgeries, which he had refused to do. In moving for judgment Mr, Hutchings requested the qndge to disregard the re- commendation to mercy made by the jury, who are not informed as to the previous career of the prisoner, Ex-Judge Stuart made a touching and able appeal in behalf or his client, mentioning the fact tuat he had 4 sick wife and family in New Jersey, Judge Bedfora, ae sentence said, that the prisoner was remanded in the hope that he would give information regarding several protessional for- geries, His Honor had been informed since the trial that Marsh was an export and skliful forger, and he agreed with the District Attorney in saying tha had the fury known all the — facia they would not have recommended him to mercy. The Judge in addressing the prisoner sald:—Marsh, had you devoted the same amount of ability, time and energy to honest pursuits instead of per- petrating Torgeries, you might have to-day won an enviabie name tnstead of sianding, as you do now, @ degraded felon. As the jury have recommended you to Wis eee J believe if they had known your antecedents as | did, they would not have done so—I will take off one year. ‘The sentence of the Court 1s that you be confined in the Stave Prison, at hard labor, for the term of four years.

Edward Kiel and Charies Wicker, who were jointly indicted, were convicted last month of this offence. ‘The complain- ant, Gustave Buban, a Frenchman, testified that at midnight on the 30th of August, while at the corner of Broadway and Bond street, he was attacked by four or five men, and a belt containing $500 in gold coin and # watch taken from his He identified Adams as tho man his watch. As soon as the thieves left hin the complainant hallooed, ‘Stop, thief,” which a@ police officer heard. Adams was ahead, and the oilicer, after a hot pursuit, arrested him, Mr, Howe, who defended Adams with unusual weal and persistency, placed him on the stand. He gave a clear account of his previous history, stating that he had served four fF in the army ina cavalry regiment and was rwards employed as a clerk in Milwaukee. He denied having touched the Frenchman, and said that when he approached Bond street he heard.an @larm for the police, and, seemg men running, hé pursued one of them; and while he was running across the Bowery an officer arrested him, After @ clear and impartial charge by Judge Bedtord the jury rendered a verdict of guilty. Mr. Howe moved for a new trial upon the ground that the verdict is against evidence, and algo upon the ground of newly discovered testimony since the retrrement of the jury. He also contended that the evidence did not wairant a conviction for robbery in the first di the necessary violence not having been proven upon this trial. The City Judge fixed Wednesday next for the hear- ing of the motion, at which time he would dispose of Adams and Wicker. James Thompson, who was charged with stealing a silver watch, valued at forty doilars, from Charies Paxson, on the 20th of September, pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand larceny.

Nearly three thousand men are en- gaged now tn laboring in the various departments of the yard; the docks are filled all the time with vessels undergoing repairs; the machine shops are alive with artisans, and in every place we observe evidences of ceascless toll and zealous activity, At no time since the war has so much been done, and the amount of work lald out promises little idleness tn the future. This is so, too, in the New York and Philadelphia yards, where an unusual number of men are at work and a great number of vessels are being fitted out for active service at sea. Even the Kittery yard, in Maine, is daily growing in importance in consequence of the inability of the large yards to accomplish the work imperatively demanded of them, Ali this ts encouraging, if we are to have a brush with Spain, an event likely to be precipitated for any cause at any moment by the hot-headed Dons, who are gure todo the most foolish thing at the most un- fortunate period that they could possibly gelect, Serrano and his mintstry are forever performing some act to draw off the attention of tho people from thetr own weakness, and to unite them on their side when things look bad for them. The Cadiz and Malaga “revolts” last winter were mere schemes to consolidate their power, and now that @ real revolution is threatening tne dominion tne; are just as likely to declare war agi States as to do anything less popular; tatuly true that the Spantards wouid like to fight the Americans, even If they were to receive a terribie defeat. That is a thing they never dreamed of, ana they wouid not hesitate to grapple with us for fear of the future. This being the case, aud although such @ war would bo a thing to be regretted, it is thoughtful and wise to be Prepared at every point as well as we may be. It is no secret with persons familiar with the true state of the navy that it is by no means in the highest state of eiictency; but all is belug done now that can be to get it into tolerable condition. The navy of the future is jhe be built, and It is to be hoped that, as Fox and sherwood are now out of control, we shall have some genuine men-of-war built, that shall be fast, comforiabie and thoroughly efictent.

Attempted Sale of Brood Mares, Foals and Stallione—A Regretial Result—Only Three Out of Thirty-three Seld—Sale at tho Jee rome Park Stables. Mr. R. W. Cameron, of Clifton Park, Staten Island, who for years has possessed the largest and best selected collection of imported thoroughbred stal- lions and brood mares in this country, resolved some time since to dispose of his entire stud at this season, when as a successful breeder hig name was Second to none in the world of the turf. He was in- duced to adopt this course more particularly as the demands of an extensive shipping interest with the Indies, New Zealand and Australia, left but little time for him to devote to such affairs, yet his un- Paralleled bad iuck, dating years back, had also te some extent caused nim to make such a resolve. The disposition of this stock of famous pedigree, and in certain cases, of distinguished achievements, gave to the gentlemen now congregated in New York, representatives of the extensive stables of running horses in the land, an opportunity to add to the respective studs many animals of renown and value. Regretfully, it ts added here, they fatied to do go, and the attempted sale of the Clifton stud can be narrated as a bad, very bad, failure, Yesterday was selected as the day to bring the entire collection of Mr. Cameron under the hammer, and @ more propitious morning never shone on Staten Island, The richly wooded country around Clifton Park, the pleasant but exhiiarating autumnal breeze whispering among @ foliage beautiful in ite colors of moulten gold, vivid green and deep crim- son, addea a zest to the occasion that will never be forgotten by the participants; nor will the Jattor Part of the day, when a drizzling rain, accompanied by @ snoring breeze from the northeast set in, and amid low-flying drifts and scuda, with heavy show- ers, many of the guests left Clifton, after a day of disappointment, to walx over two miles through tho storm to cateh the cars that would carry them to the point of devarkation from Staten Island, There were present on the grounds many dis- tinguished turfites, among then beiug T. W. D well, Captain Moore, A. Welch, Jno, Coffee, W. Cattrell, H. P. McGrath, Charles Bathgate, L. H. Mort B, Reed, Jno, Hunter, M. Littell, Frank Morris, Governor Bowie, of Maryland; L. Holland, Colonel McDaniels, Jno. Hall, Simeon Leland and others, The stock looked well, and before the auc- tioneer took his piace the company seemed eager to purchase, but Mr. Cameron mi a little speech told them of his terms, saying be had aMxed a certain price to each animal and that he would not bid a cent. Although he subsequently recedea from this osition, the sale was a@ failure, and really regret- fully thia is recorded. ‘The brood mares offered for sale were the following, the majority In foal by the famous staliion Leamington:— Jerusalem, b. m., foaled 1856; reserved price $2,500. Not sold, n Eleanor, br. m., foaled 1856; reserved price $2,500, jot sold, Babta, b. m., foaled 1853; reserved price $2,500. Not sold.

At this juncture Mr. Cameron receded from his position of aMxing an “upset” price, reserving the right by acclamation of all present to make one bid himself on each horse offered. There were pre- sented then, S Inverlochy, br. f., foaled 1856, No bid. Rebecca, ch. m., foaled 1853. No bid. ‘Lady Spang, b, m. No bid. Sophia, b, m., foaled 1860, No bid.

Of the nine foals, all by Leamington, none were sold, although Mr. Cameron assured the company that a bay flily out of Jerusaiem was sold for $1,50), and a bay fly out of Nellie Groves waa sold for $1,000, To conclude the sale the stallions were brought out, Leamington, the brown horse, looked magaitl- cently in his strength and symmetry. Mr. Came- ron’s reserved price was $12,500. He was not sold, although Mr. A, Welch, of Philadelpnia, offered $11,500 In casb, as did Governor Bowie $10,000 tn cash for him, Which were politely refused. Hampton Court, ch. h., foaled in 1864, followed. Reserved price, $2,500. Not sold, nor any bids, Warminster, b, h., foaled 1869, came next, Same reserved price. Not sold, nor any bids, Gienevis, br. ¢., foaled 1866, was the last, reserved price. Not sold, nor any bids, ‘Thus it will be observed that in all this stud of far-famed matrons and sires but three were sold. The reason of this meagre show 1s apparent to all and does not require comment. Foliowing this sale the Jerome Park stables— property of L. W.
