The Superior Court has its usual terns, Judges Barbour and Spencer presiding at tue trial terms and Judge Freedman at the Special Terms, the rest of the Judges sitting in General Term.

Jadges ross and Atken will hold their Trial Terms at the Marine Court. COURT OF SPECIAL SESSIONS. Before Justices Dowling and Shandiecy.

Zallangher was Charged witn petty larceny by Michael O'Leary under tue following circum: cumstances. O'Leary, who resides at No, 18 Market street, attended a sheriff's sale at 665 Broadway. ‘he defendant observed O'Leary buying many things very cheaply, and that the aucetoneer seemed to favor him a good deal. The complainant went up to Zallingher and asked lim. O'Leary on oe for him an article at $7 26. O'Leary then charged Zalitngher ‘with stealing it. Mr. Howe, who appeared for the de- fendant, showed that the defendant had insututed a civil suit against the complainant, and that this charge of Jarceny was malicious and unfounded. ‘The Court dismissed the case. BROOKLIN COURTS, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. An Alleged Nuisance. Before Judge Benedict, An application was made yesterday by some officers at the Navy Yard for an injunction restrain- ing Messrs. Hidden, Richardson & Molineaux from conducting a color manufactory at the corner of Flushing and Carlton avenues, which the petition- ers claim is @ nuisance and deletertous to the public health. There bas been a row about this place for months past. Last summer the estadlisnment was shut up as a nuisance, but it was subsequent!y re- opened by the present firm, and the petitioners claim that the most horrible odors emanate from it. ‘The case will be argued on Wednesday next, SURROGATE’S COURT.

A TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION DOLLAR WINDFALL, A Vast Estate in England Claimed by a Pitts burg Family. as the Pittsburg Commercial, May 24.) In the latter part of the last century, and about the coming in of the present one, the Coward family have made great innovations in the diet of many hale and hearty Englishmen, who were convinced that garden truck was the only fit food for the stomach. To revolutionize society more completely On the subject colleges, churches, school houses, hotels and igerdeni were established under thetr auspices, and communities were founded to promul- gate the pecuiiar vegetarian ideas of the founders, After the novelty of the ed aad had worn away most of the followers of the new philosophy fell again into the way of consummg flesh, fowls and beef, awarding vegetables second place on ‘thetr bills of fare. In 1816, William Coward, the last of the foreign line of the family, died in England, leaving the vast accumulation Of real estate to be divided in the interest of heirs whose whereabouts he knew notof. The property was placed in charge of trustees to await the coming of claimants, and through half a century has been accumulating and rowing more valuable. Recently the English Court of Chancery appointed D, W. Hendrickson, a celebrated lawyer of Monmouth county, N. J., com- missioner and trustee for heirs to the estate who might be found in this country. The property at the ‘last valuation was assessed to be worth £60,000,000 steriing, or about $250,000,000 in the gold coin of the United States. In 1867 he visited Europe in his official capacity, and obtained such data and information as led to the dis- covery of surviving heirs in this country, A family of Cowards, in Trenton, N. J., claimed the estate, but thus far have failed to trace out their genealogy in manner satisfactory to the require- menis of the law. Not long ago correspondence was opened with Mr. Robert Coward, the well known brickmaker of this city, and ina very short tune tt was made apparent that the united claims of bimself and brothers to the estate were sufficiently clear and well founded to warrant legal prosecution, #minent attorneys in England were at once em- p.oyed in the Case who, acting in co-operation with jawyers of this country, the Messrs, Coward and Mr. Hendrickson, Trusice, have met with much success 1n tracing the line,of descent of our Pittsburg family to that extinct in England. Mr. Coward will leave shorty for England to advance his interests, and un- Jess some link be missing in the records of his family to prevent his success, itis very probable that be wiil come back one of the wealthiest mep of this counuy, wKW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET, RELIGIOUS.

Discourse by Rabbi Gutheim at the Temple Emavu-El—ladignation of the Israciites in America=Senator Sprague’s Action Critle cised. A large congregation assembled yesterday morn- ing at the Temple Emanu-E), Fifth avenue, and great interest Was manifested by them in relation to the reported shocking massacre by Christians in Rouma- nia of inoffensive and defenceless Israelites—men, women and children, Rabbi James K. Gutheim of fictated and preached from the text “And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests and a holy na- tion.” (Exodus X1x., 6.) Having referred at length to the duties and re- sponsibilities, as well as to the results, of the divine mission thus delegated to Israel, the reveread gen- tieman took occasion to make, in substance, the fol- lowing remarks:—The appointment of Israel for this sacerdotal office implies and requires @ disiniere-ted, —self-sacrincimg devotion, — It is as distinct. from that odious, hypocriti- cal priesteraft which, even in our day, infests the higbroads and sneaks through the byways of mankind—which imposes on the credulity and works on the passions of its deluded followers in order to gaia its seitish and ambicious ends. It is, 1 say, as distinct from that priestcraft as light 1s from dark- ness, as truvh is trom falsehood, as love 18 from hatred. [tis this ungodly priestcraft which has en- gendered and which fosters the prejudices and ani- mosities yet entertamed agaist Israel—which has inaugurated @ad which directs those atrocious per- secuiions which sully the pages of history, which are afoul bio on humanity. What Isiaclite, nay, what man, could have heard TUE TERRIBLE TIDINGS which but a few days ago were conveyed by the lightning fash across the Atlantic of the crue) fate inflicted upon our coreligionists by an infuriated, misguided populace, without being struck by @ feel- ing of horror ani dismay? At is true the soulharrowing report is yet lacking authentic confirmation. ut when we consiter the fiendish enormities to which our corelgionists in Roumania have been subjected ior the last five years we have very little reason jor hoping that the worst may not be true. The Israclites of those seimi- civilized Christian provinces are groaning under the atrest sysiem of medieval persecution. Remon- sirances have been made from tine to time by the representatives of the great Powers of Europe tn or- Ger to induce Roumanian authorities to grant efl- cient protection tu the Jewish imhabitants, But it seems that these remoustrances have produced litte eect. Diplomacy as been ineffectual, wale A MORE VIGOROUS INTERCESSION on the partof those great Powers, in the cause or outraged humanity, was not resorted to, in conse- quence of the existing jeatousies with which the eventual possession of these provinces Was re- garded. The venerabie and world-renowned philan- trophists Montefiore and Crémienx have made pev- sonal exertions for the amelioration of their sorely oppressed coreligionists. Thetr advocacy, too, was received with honeyed words, without produciug any practical! result, THE REPORTED CATASTROPHE reminds us of asimilar occurreuce that happened some eleven years ago, when the whole civilized world was startled by the intelligence that the most shocking outrages had been committed in Syria by the Mohammedan Druses on their Christian fellow subjects. Thousands were cruelly massacred, while tne remaining thousands sought their safety in flight, and were (hus exposed to utter destitution, the horrors of starvation and the cruel tortures that awaited them at the hands of their ferce enemies, ‘The pitiful cries of these wretched people had no sooner reached the shores of Europe, when sover- eigns and statesmen and imperial legisiatures were moving (o succor aud protect their brothers in faith against the inflamed passions of the fanatic sons of the desert. But sovereigns and statesinen and im- periai legislatures are swayed by political considera- tions, and accustomed to move within the circum- scribed sphere of diplomatic prudence. From their exalted station they are wont to look only upon en- tire provinces and lands and peoples, while the dis- tresses of mdividuals, or even the calamities of com- munities, rarely move their hearis to active Interces- ‘SIU. THE SUFFERERS IN SYRIA stood in need of immediate help. The yotce of hu- manity, which is the voice of God, pieaded jn their bebalf, And it so happened that the first man who rightly and opportunely published to the world an interpetration of this voice and headed the list for active succor was the Jew Montefiore. We are ad- vised that the Roumanian outrages have been brought to the notice of the SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES for the purpose of exerting the morat influence of our government in behalf of humanity. Who can doubt the potency of this influence? Butcan it be credited that a Seuator (Sprague, of Rhode Island) rises in his seat, in the highest branch of the na- tional legislature, in the august body of the assem- bied elders of the natton, and makes a deliberate etfort to extenuate the reported massacre, to ind an excuse for the wholesale butchery? He says that the Jews had obtained possession of ail the busi- ness, the lands and tie trade of the country; that while one ciass of the peopie were in poverty, Without means or business, there was, On the other haud, an eager, money-getting, trade-monopolizing population. It was this condl- tion of things that had brought about the spectacie which the world to-day contemplates. There was food for reflection in this for the Senate and for our own country. What American can read these words without feel- Ing A BURST OF INDIGNATION rising in his bosom? Suppose the Jews had, by dint of energy and honest enterprise, gained possession of the wealth of the country, would this fact excuse the reported indiscrimfnate slaughter @f men, women and children? But when we consider that the Jews in Roumania do not saior, the rights of citizenship; that they are restricted in their trades, business an Industrial pursuits; that they are not permitted to own a foot of the land in which they are born, nor a plank of the house which they call their home and in which they cultivate our traditional domestic virtues—when we consiaer ail this, the advocate of bratal violence will appear as having presented a picture of the imagination. Or 1s the Senator the representative of bigotry and fanaticism, the advocate of priestcraft? He takes occasion to hold out a warning to the Senate and the country, from which every true American will shrink with horror, What! does he think that free American citizens, Imbued with the true principles of liberty, will ever be tempted to imitate those Nendish proceedings, which are contrary to the law of God and man? But the words of the Senator do contain a Warning most soiemn and ominous. It is this, that even in our free and enlightened country there are yet men to be found who are actuated by bigotry and fanaticism, Who do not blush to extenu- ate the most horrid crimes inspired by religious per- secution, THEY SUGGEST THE WARNING, that the alr in which the Senator has been reared, ‘that the principles which he has imbibed, require to be purified and revised. They contain the lesson for the American people to be careful in tne selection of their representatives in order to preserve tle bless- ing of civil and religious liberty in all its purity and grandeur. Yea, the cries and groans of those un- happy victims to a barbarous fanaticism must induce the vigorous intercession of those States that claim to be governed by law and justice, and have the power to help, Church of St Albans—Whitsuntide Services Last Evening.

PHILADELPHIA, June 4, 1870, Atthe final session of the Presbyterian General Assembly this morning the report on publication was adopted. The docket was cleared, various reports and overtures being referred to the next General Assembly, to the Committee of Twenty-one or inden- Ditely postponed, The Board of Publication was authorized to meet on the second Thursday of June, in Philadelphia. Resolutions were adopted calling attention of parents to the catechising of cnildren. ‘The pay of the stated clerk was fixed at $400, and the salary of the permanent clerk at $000 per an- num. The payment of fifty dollars each (o the per- manent aud stated clerk of the last Assembly at Pittsburg, or extra work, Was ordered. The overture from the Wainut street church, of Louisville, Ky., was discussed, and the recommen- dauion of the committee was adopted, authorizing the use of the balance of the $5,000 appropriation, for the purpose of amicably settling the case, The balance is $3,000. The report of the joint com- mittee on ministerial retief was adopted, with slignt alterations, ‘The business of the session closed with the sing- ing of the Doxoijogy.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD; Thave read with great interest the opinions and arguments on both sides of the Mormon question, as they have been very opportunely pubtished in the lib- eral columns of your widely circulating ana popular paper, and the ably written editorials thereon which appeared in the HERALD last Monday and at other Umes. Mormonism has become a subject of great magnitude and impertance. It affects the founda- tions of society in a large and populous territory. ‘The general interest which has been created in it by the publication in the HERALD of a bill introduced into Congress probibiting polygamy in Utah, of Mr. Hooper's speech, of the sermon of Rey. Dr. New- man and of Elder Pratt's lewter to the editor of the HgRaLD, in reply, indi- cates that there 18 a possibility—perhaps we might say a likelihood, that it will ere long affect the joundations of society throughout tie United States, aud ultimately the whole world. The influence of 120,000 people in the heart of the nation tends to Jeaven the whole mass. To check or destroy that Influence ts the great difttculty wiiteh is now under the consideration of our country’s representatives, The siniuluess of polygamy has hitherto been con- sidered by al! Western Christian peoples as settled beyond dispute; but tie political bearings of the subject at present have placed it on the lapis, and argaments of considerable force on both sides have been adduced, not unmingled with sophism on either, The disputanis have quoied and ex. plained numerous passages from the Bibie to support tele own views respectively, but like many other controverstalists upproaching that book with preconceived theories to uphold, they Dave in several instances strained its meaning to suit thelr own prejudtces. It may in the end be a matter of prudence on the part of Congress to let the theologians settle among themselves the points of divinity involved, and for our lezisiators to regue jate polygamy as they would any other socla) evil of our time, AS un instance of the way 1a Which theo- logical disputants deal with Scripture, one of those gentlemen quotes the passage-—-“He which made them at the beginning made tiem male aid femaie” (Matthew Xxv., 4), to prove monogamy; the other Tetoris that the fact of Adam’s cnildrea marrying their own brotaers dnd sisters might as well be re- ferred to in evidence of @ Divine warrant for ince: ‘Tue imagination of those disputants 13 so fertile, 16 is @ wonder iat netiher of tiem interpreted that passage as meaning at Adam and Eve were made nermaphrodites. A HERALDIC READER, The Rey. Dr. McGlynn and That Sermon. To THE Epiror oF THE HERALD:— Having observed in last Sunday’s HERALD a letter addressed to the Rev. Dr. McGiyun, of St. Stepien’s Roman Catholic church, over the signature of “A Catholic,” in which it is asked if the report in the HERALD of the 22d ult. of @ sermon delivered by that reverend gentleman was a correct one, this unassuming individual also desires au explanation, Fearing much that in this respect he would be doomed to disappointment, knowing well, as I do, that works of mercy and of charity occupying his entire time, to the exclusion of Jess important oncs, would and do present insuperable obstacles in the way of the gratification of the modest request of “A Catholic? py the Rev, Dr. McGlynn, I bethought myself that an occasion in which 1, too, might practise the grand lesson taught in that important sermon, viz.:—by giving in all charity the required information, as I comprehend tt—was presented. To his query, then, I will reply tnat, al- though the report was but a brief synopsis of the discourse delivered, and not as full as might be de- sired, it yet was summarized with care and fairly reflected the salient points. *A Catholic’ adds, if it was correct, that Dr. McGlynn has given utterance to heresy and slander, Let us see on what theological basis such an un- charitable charge rests. Tue sermon had for its thesis ‘Faith, Hope and Charity,” three great Christian virtues, and upon the last he dwelt with most emphasis, He said of the three the last— charity—was (the greatest; that our charity must be broad and generous; so broad aud 80 generous that its heavenly characteristics would extend to and em- brace all mankind, and as a consequence pass be- yond the continues of creed, to the dissenter from Catholicism as well as to him whose ears have never heard the divine teaching of the humble Nazarene. is this doctrine heretical? Upon what authority? Surely upon no Catholic one. With regard to conscience, this tiveral sermon is unmistakably explicit, It conveys the idea that for ail men conscience ts the ultimate authority. If con- science be not, what in our system is? What oiher monitor has the mercy of our Cre- ator embosomed in us? vidently none. Iv may err; buf until such time as Heaven may decree shall have arrived for its enlighten- ment with the rays of divine light we are conscien- Uously bound (that [8 the only eyuitavie bond) to follow wheresoever it leads, This of course pre- supposes a readiness to correspond with the grace of God 48 soon as manifested, Now, then, tf this same conscience, with us Catholics, is not the autho- rity, then must tt not logically follow that we are a community of hypocrites, pretending to assent to tenets which cannot claim the sovereignty of our bellef? If we do belteve 1t 1s because we have a con- sciousness of the rectitude of the things or persons to whicn credence is given. If “a Catholic” considers this heretical In the category he will be obliged to clas- sully some of the greatest saints in heaven, as well a3 the most brilliant theologians who have ever graced the records of the Church. This 1s the opinion of St. Alphonsns de Liguori, whose theological works in most Catholic colleges ‘are the standard clas books. If we would have our consclences respected Wwe must not ruthlessly trample on that hallowed Spot of our fellow man, Nor rashly conclude that all who do not worship at the same shrine with our- selves are evidently dishonest in their belief and false to the promptings of the warning voice witiun. ‘This, indeed, would be most fallacious; for have we not the frank confessions of many heroic souls, who, egal they ever held dear for conscience sake and Christ’s, passed over—the ray from above illuminating their path—to the serene and tranquil Renee of Catholic truth, attesting to the con- tary Dr. McGlynn does not believe in any such frozen doctrine, for the reason that it 1s not Catholic; nor does he admire—and he is candid enougn not to con- ceal it—these modern Mokannas, who would fore: after the ancient Mohammedan system, or, as hie ex- presses 1t himself, by the theological bludgeon—their views upon all for their acqi nee. Inquisitortal powers like these can never in, outside or inside the pale of the Catholic pare ba successfully ap- plied, AS far as their character of being uncompromising expounders of the truth is concerned, Dr. McGlynn will be found among the ranks of their admirers, Fivally, “A Catholic,” when among his charges against this exemplary minister that of slander is found, would do weil to find the meaning of the word “slander,” and, having found it, see whether or not, in this insiance, he has not misappited it, From the corporal and spiitual works of merey achieved, or tn process thereof, by Rev. Dr. McGlynn since his advent to St. Stephen's parish to rea extent the fulness of his ortiodoxy may be deter: mined. Let Catholic" try to save his soul after the true Catholic manner, and he will be less disposed to find fault with one of whom he evidently knows little. A CATHOLIC of St. Stephen's parish.

WaLt Srreer, } FINANCIAL ‘The presence of most of the leading operators at the Jerome Park races rendered Wail street dull to- day. Advantage was taken of thelr absence to make | @ TAld On sowe Of the stock lists with the effect of rendering THE STOCK MARKET UNSETTLED. The “bears’? in Pacific Mail started the story of @ foundered steamer and followed it up with @ rather britiant attack, which enabled them to depress the price to 40%. The rest of the list was more or less symputhetic, and there was considerable reahaing ‘on the part of umid holdera. Prices ratited again un‘ after the unfavorable bank statemeny when there was another decline, the announcement being made atthe same time that the new Funding Dill has been agreed upon aud is in the hands of the printer, The disproval of the Pacific Mail story and the sober second thought concerning the bauk statement led to a final recovery in prices; but the market closed very dull, The main features of the day will be shown by an eXamination of the table of highest and lowest prices.

The weckly statement of the assoclated banks is unfavorable, Their surplus reserve 1s sufficient, however, to guarantee them against any embarrass- ment for many weeks to come should the legal re- serve continue to decline. The specie exports of the week and the customs have reduced the specie item @ million and three-quarters, white the legal tenders have fallen off avout three hundred thousand dol- lars, the latter due to the low rates on call, which preciude further shipments of currency from the country, The deposits have fallen of nearly two millions The loss inthe surplus above the legal reserve 1s bout a million and a half dollars.

The higher quotations for five-twenties in London, the purchases on foreign account, the steadiness of vhe gold market and the continued low rates for money combined to render the money market very strong to-day despite the apprehension which was fet concerning the new Funding bul, Prices closed as follows;—United States currency sixes, 314 & 11444; do. sixes, 1881, registered, 114}3 a 114%; do, do., coupon, 118}¢ a 118%; do. five-twenties, registered, May and November, 111% a 112; do, do., 1862, coupon, do,, 1124 @ 112%; do, do., 1864, do, do., 11174 @ 112; do, do, 1865, do. do, 111% & 1124; do, do. 1865, coupon, new, 1144 a 114%; do. do., 1867, do, do., 114’¢ @114%{; do. do., 1868, do, do., 114% 9\ 11434; do. ten-forties, regis- vered, 10834 @ 108%; do, do., coupon, 10875 a 109, MONEY EASY, The money market was eCasy at three to four per cent, Before the close of banking hours large sums were offered at the lower rate. Commercial Was quiet at five and a half to sx per cent for prime double names, Foreign exchange was steady and dullafter the steamer. The leading bankers were selling sixty days sterling bills at 10874. GOLD DULL AND STEADY, The gold market, although lower as compared with yesterday’s quotations, was steady between the limits of 1144 and 114%, the closing price being 114%. The cotton receipts for the week show a decrease of about 8,000 bales, but the effect thereof is counterbalanced by the fact tiat the total crop so far is over half @ million bales in excess of the crop for the corresponding period last year. The carrying rate ranged from 134 to 5 per cent. The export of specie by to-day’s steamers was less than $350,000— a much smaller amount than anticipated—while the total export for the week is only a little over a mil- lion, It is dountful whether the future shipments this summer will exceed this proportion; for many business men are of opinion that the balance of trade has been nearly, if not fully, settled by our ex- ports of produce, cotton and government bonds.
