In the Court of General Sessions yesterday Judge Garvin, on behalf of the people, made a motion to have the case of Daniel McFarland, indicted for the murder of Atbert D. Richardson, transferred for trial te the Court of Oyer and Terminer, Counsel on the part of tne prisoner opposed the motion of the Diswict Attorney iv an able and elaborate speech, He claimed that the indictment had been found in the Court of General Sessions, and that the accused had pleaded io it in the same court. Further, @ commission had issued trou the Court of General Sessions to examine witnesses residing in Ireland touching facts expected to be developed in the progress of the trial, and to wansfer the case at te present stage to the Court of Oyer and Terminer woula prove seriously detrimental to the interests of Mr, McFarland, The accused aiso would forfeit rigats which he pos sessed provided the case were tried in the Court of Sessions. For instance, in the event of a conviction he would have an appeal jor the purpose of having a review by the court above, a8 a miatier of right, which would not necessarily be the case were te trial Lo take place in the Court of Oyer and Termi- ner, Upon these and‘other grounds counsel opposed the motion. Judge Garvin, in reply, contended that the conrt undoubtedly possesses the power to transfer the case, and argued that if the trial were to be con- ducted in the Court of General Seasions the effect would be to block the calendar and prevent any other cases {rom betng tried. At the conclusion of the argument his Honor Judge Bedford inamated that he would for the pre- sent reserve his decision. BROOKLYN CCURTS. SUPREME COURT—CIRGUIT.

Homan genius has created reads for saving almost every kind of waste matter, bitt Waste rub- ber was hitherto an excéptton; and this was to be regretted, as on account of the high price of crude material it deserved a meritorious employ. Accord- ing to the fatest statistics the annual consumption of Tubber is extended to 20,000,000 pounds, worth about $10,000,000, one-qnarter of which may be estimated for the Internal use of the United States, while of course a large proportion of the said amount ts belng wasted.

The principal cause of self-destruction, 80 far as can be ascertained, was grief tor hig wile, who died suddenly about five months since from gastric irritation. The deceased lefs twa notes, in which he expressed himself as dis- stacted and bewildered. Burglaries are of great frequency in Brooklyn of late, and, notwithstanding the diligence of the police, the thieves manage in most instances to es- cape detection. The residence of Mr. H. G. Wood, No. 33 Third street, Gowanus, was feloniously entered ‘and ropded of $1,500 worth of goods on Thursday. The rogues, not satisfied with carrying off the property of their victun, destroyed almost as much more by spitting Lobacco juice over the paintl jurniture, carpets, &c., and in wantonly tearing Mngs. The burglary was committed during the absence of the family. The property consisted of silk dresses, furs, Jewelry and other articles. The entrance was effect- ed by breaking a pane of glass in the front basement. window end pushing back the latch. The residence of Mr. Spaulaing, No. 8 Velmonico place, was broken nto on the same day, and $600 worth of property was stolen therelrom, most of which wag li green backs. Yue thief, although discovered by dirs. Spaulding, succeeded in making his escape. The Mquer store of Hutchings & Homer, No. sv Fulton street, was entered by burgiars and robbed of $100 worth of liquor on Thursday night, THE BROOKLYN FIRE DEPARTMENT. What the Paid System Has Cost—More Appa- ratus Called For—8390,000 Wanted to Defray the Exycnses for the Current Year. From a lengthy report which has just been sub- mitted by the Fire Commissioners of Brooklyn, it appears that the cost of the maintenance of the Fire Department will bein excess of the oxiginal esti- mate. The report shows that auring the ysst few months.of its operation they have paid out for altera- tions of engines, jor horses, houses, furniture and salaries $174,796. The amotnt appropriated by tne Legislature was $175,000. Tne suit of $200,000 ts re- quired for the éhtire purpose of the department, as at present organized, for the year 1870, The department consists of thirteen steam fire engine companies and six hook and ladder com- panies. In locating the apparatue, upon the organi- zation of the department, it became necessary to agsign it to such portions of the city as contained engine houses owned by the city, from the fact that tie locating them elsewhere would have made it necessary to purchase property and erect houses thercon. This was impossible with tho amount of mosey placed at the disposal of the Board, ‘Tv only portions of the city which are unprotected are as follows:—Greenpoint, the Ninth, Twenty-first and lower portion of the Twelfth wards Im Greenpoint there is a track company, but uo eagine, Ia the Ninth, Twelfth and Twenty-frst wards there areno engines or track companies, Disastrous fires have occurred at Grecnpoint owing to the fact that 1t takes 80 long atime tor the nearest engine toreach there. The Ninth and Twenty-tirst wards are wing rapidly and contain principally wooden buildings. There is valuable property m the iower portion of the ‘Tweltth ‘ward—the Atlanuc Dock stores, &c., and certainly an engine should be viaced there, During the past year many citizens have called upon the Board and a that apparatus might be located in the localities reterred to. The in- surance interest have presented a ition to the Board, signed by the presidents of all the companies who have risks In this city, praying that the forco might be increased, and urging the Board (conced- Ing that their means were inadequate to increase the jorce,, to obtain credit for such sums as wight be required, which the Board could not do, as they are limited by law to @ certain sum, to Wit, $175,000, A similar petition has been received from a number of residents of/ the Eyghteenth and Twenty-first wards, représenting real estate to tho value of 695,000. bars render the department efficient an increase should be made consisting of three engines and one hook and ladder company.
