to Monday, August 29. Adtwo o'clock on Wednesday afternoon the ex- amipation of William Conroy, charged with com- plicity in the recent attempted robbery resulting in murder at Coid Spring, was resumed before J. D. Shater, Recorder of Newburg. Long before that hour the court room and the passages leading to it ‘Were crowded by citizens interested in watching the Progress of the examination, Scated near the Pmsoner (who nonchalantly puffed away at an un- lighted cigar) was his mother, a lady of respectable @ppearance, whose countenance was overspread ‘With au air of anxiety, THE PRISONER'S COUNSEL, 3. Hallock Drake, was for one or two terms District “Attorner of Orange county, and was in that capa- elty employed as prosecuting officer in geveral important criminal tials, among others tm the following murder case Whe Gregory murder, at Middlevown; we Bears murder, ac Goshen; the Blake murder, at Corn- Wall, He was also engaged m the r it Feliows murder trial, ou the side of the defence, Inthe eourt room were Sheriff Bader, of Putnain county, and aman said to have been employed as agent of the Cold Spring Vigilance Committee, m ferreiing out the traces ®! Cooroy. Mr. Drake, te prisouer’s coun- sel, stated. to the reporters that a despatch had been received from Cold iSpring, from the man holding TRUMPBOUR'S CONFESSION, asking the authorities at Newburg to retain Conroy tw custody, aflirming that statements tm ihe con- fecsion would warrant such a step. The prisoner, Mm conversation with our reporter, stated that there had been a Vigilance Committee in Cont Spring for the past two years: and that Gonverneur Paulding was at the head of it, This commitvee, he said, had an agent tm the jail at Carmel, confined there with Truamp- boar, for the purpose of inducing the latter to make @ tuil confession; that such confession was now in writing and in the Keeping of this agent; that the ayont was to recelve $200 & month for his services. MARSHAL GOODRICH, OF NEWBUKG, ‘Was placed on the stand by the counsel for the de- teace to testify as to the receipt of the despatch re- Terred to; but the counsel for the prosecution ob- — to the evidence and it was ruled out by the corder. She prisoner’s counsel then said that be had no further testimouy to offer now, and pro- ceeded to move for Conroy’s discharge on the fol- lowing grouuds:— Hirst—That the Recorder o1 Newburg had no juris- diction over the case, for the reason tt had not been Proven by the prosecution that this offence was committed in the year 1870, or within three years * pror to the urrest of the prisoner, the statute re- guiring that no offence, except that of murder, shalt be prosecuted unless complaint sha been made or indictment found within turee years after the commission of the olfence. Second—That there was no proof from the testt- mony as to the county in whieh the alieged off Was vomumitted, 1 did not appear that ti was committed in Putnam or an the State, or that when wory in the crime of Trampbour, as aliegod, he was m Orange county, It did not appear from the evi-+ dence where Cold Spring was situated. A prima face ease must be made out by toe prosee Yon before the prisoner could be fully committed. To these positions the counsel for . THE PROSECUTION REPLI briefly, adducing the testimony of ‘e Moore to whow Liat Lie alleged offence had been piotied in Newburg, Orange couniy, and it was upon charge that 1b was sought to hold Conroy. Recorder overruled the positions of Prisoner’s counsel and refused to discharge Conroy. Mr. Drake when proceeded to bis third” proposition, the question oi jurisdic: tion =having — thus been = dispo-ed of by the Recorder. fhe should be enabied before the close of the examination to slow from tue testimony that the defendant instead of bemg an accessory ‘was @ principal in the second degree, then the au- thonties of the county of Orange had no control over the case. If he was @ principal in the second de- eer he was to be tried in the county where the of- eace as alleged was committed. This position the counsel attempted to sustain by a careful examina- tion of tae testimony and by the citing of various Jegal authorities. THE POSITION WAS ASSAILED py the counsel for the people, who also went into a h review of the testimony and examination of the authorities, Afiera wordy debate between the counsel the prosecuting officer referred to the low cen kept by Charles H. Smith in Newburg, where it was claimed the crime nad been piot- ted. This Smith had recently been arrested for keeping a disorderry house of the very worst character, and he had been held to bail. Kate Moore had testified that Conroy aud Trump- our were occupants of this house of Smith’s while it was so Kept. Where were criminals to be found? In just SUCH DENS AS THIS. Perl it was not the first time that just such oceurrences as this had been plotted at S:ith’s, and Pn it would not be the last time. It was in jmith’sybrothel that Conroy and Trumpbour had met as genial companions. Conroy was accessory to the robbery before tue fact. He had lived for two months Mm company with the robber and murderer Trumpbour at Smith’s, During that time ‘they often visited Cold Spring in company. Conroy ‘Was seen cleaning @ pistol at this brothel, and who would assert that that was not the pistol which had used in the killing of Elijah Jones? In regard THR VIGILANCE COMMITTEE at Cold Spring, which had been referred to earlier in the examimation, the counsel would ask if 1t was not a lamentable state of things whieh com- pelled the citizeus of Cola Spring to form such an organizauion for the purpose of protecting themselves against such villains as this Con- soy’ The counsei animadverted severely upoa the “BRAVADO AND IMPUDENT BEARING”? displayed by Conroy ever since the commencement of this examination. He contrasted it with the con- uct of other criminais whom he had seen at the bar of justice and who had shown @ more correct appre- ciation of the fitness of things by their more modest bearing. ‘The counsel maintained vhat the defendant had no right to elect on what charge he should be held. ‘The charge against him was complicity in the robbery, and ii the evidence was sufficient to hold bim he ‘Was to be heid on that charge. When counse! had concluded their arguments, THE RECORDER overruled the motion of counsel for defendant and decided not vo discharge Conroy, as asked for by his counsel. The latter asked time to subpvena his wit- nesses from Cold Spriag and to prepare his defence. The request was opposed by the counsel for the peo- pie, on the ground that it was understood that the aclence bad deciined to offer any testimony in the cose, Mr. Drake rejomed that he had a right to move for the discharge of his clieut tmmediately aiter the case was closed on the part of the people ua before the prisoner's testimony had been feara, ‘the Recorder decidea to aliow counsel for defence the time asked for, and ihe hearing o1 the case was adjourned to Mouday, August 29, at two o'clock. Consoy was remanded to the county jail at Newbury. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE IN KEWARK. What the Manin for teal Estate Speculations Resulted In. Alexander M. Uiter, one of Newark’s most bighly fespected business men, and a member of the firm @f Jacobus & Utier, leather manufacturers of No. 200 Market street, committed suicide yesterday at his factory under circumstances no less singular Mian melancholy.

Boston Tommy was placed uuder the photographer’s hands yester- gay, aud now forms a very ugly addition to the already numerous coliection in the album at Head- quarters.

THE HEIGHT OF FOLLY, In view of the hundreds of cases where persons have lost their lives througn jumping off trains in motion 1t may weil be considered the very height of folly for any one to try 1t and escape without some hurt. Yesterday afternoon one Nicholas Glynner, a resident of No.5 Nichols court, Newark, jumped off the Washington express train ay it was pasting the Chestnut street depot. He escaped with biv life, but Teceived injuries which way prove serious ing possession of said vessel, the sum of $350 and over. That the said Carnochan was and is the Health omicer of the city of New York, and the said Keid ‘Was and 1s his assistant; that said acts were commit- ted by them as aforesaid, under aud by color of their bower and authority as such officers as aforesaid, bat the plaintiffs aver and charge that the said de. fendants had not, nor had either of them as such officers or otherwise, any right, power, or authority whatsoever, to do any of the acts aforesaid, and suid defendants and each of them well knew the game. Second—And for a farther cause of action this com- plaint further shows, on like information and behiet, that the detendants being such officers as aforesaid, wilfully, corruptly, fraudulently and falsely abused and perverted the power and authority vested in them for the public good to subserve their private interest, and maliciously injure and harass the Piaintiis by the commission of the acts afore- said, falsely and wickedly pretending, for the mere purpose of enabling them the opetter to carry out and effect the wrong and extortion aforesaid, that me were acting in good faith and in the discharge of their duty, when in truth and in fact their intentions were, and that of each one of them, malicious and to oppress and plunder the plaintiffs lo their great injary and to the great odium aod disgrace of the government of the State of New ork. ‘That by reason of the perverse and wrongful acts of the delendants aforesaid the piaintitis have sus- tained damages fn the sum of $10,000, tor which they dema”d judgment, with costs. Kings County, City of Brooklyn, John C, Wood, being duly sworn, says—l am master of the park Wavelet; the Wavelet came to Brooklyn on the 10th of August; we came from Perth Amboy, New Jersey, where we landed our cargo; we lay at the whart in front of Harbeck’s stores, in the city of Brooklyn; the Wavelet was towed from Perth Amboy, no crew on board, and after lying about fourteen hours at the whari, with no person on board, except the watchman, deponent and his wife and children, and two other persons not belonging to the vessel, deponent’s said wife and family being mere visitors and oniy temporarily on sald vessel. That said Wavelet lay alongside of two other ves- sels, which were aiso attached to the sald wharf. That about hali an hour after midnight. on the 11th of August, while the aforesaid persons were on said ,vessel, the steamtug A. Fletcher approached the Wavelet. That deponent was called to the deck by the watchman of the Wavelet. The person apparently in charge of the Fletcher hailed deponent and requested permission to lay alongside of the Waveilett. That at that tlie there were but two or three persons v:sible on said Fletcher. Deponent refased to consent, and gave as a reason that the fastenings of the Wavelet were not sufficient to hold them both, to which the person on the Fletcher replied that he only wished to lay there until morning. To this deponent made no reply, and deponent then went in the cabin, having frst told the Watchman not to alow the Fletcher to come alongside. That almost immediately after getting in the cabin deponent heard the watchman cry out, “lam a ' prisoner; look out for yourself!’ and deponent at that time heard a namber of persons coming on board the Wavelet, and tmmediately came to the deck, and then found the Fletcher alongside and the watchman in the hands of three or four men, who were endeavoring to get hun on board the Fletcher. ‘That at chat time there was a number of men in the main rigging of the Wavelet, upon her port side. ‘That there were some men also forward on the Fletcher, and as near as deponent could judge there were on the Fletcher, when sbe came alongside, altogether about eighteen or twenty men. That there were three men not engaged in putting the watchman, as above stated, who were standing upon the port side of the Wavelet with pistols in their hands, one of whom pointed the pistol at de- ponent. Deponent then demanded to know what right they had on board and what they wanted? To which they replied, “Here is our authority,” and exhibited something fastened on their coats; on which deponent told them that he did not recognize such authority. Whereupon @ number of the persons in the rig- ging, as aforesaid, dropped upon deponent and seized and overpowered him, and forcibly took de- ponent, undressed as he was, over the side of tie vessel into the wheel house of the Fletcher, and there detained him; that while they were in the act of taking deponent, as aforesaid, some of such men cut the lines and fastenings of the Wavelot and made her fast to the Fletcher, and she was then towed by the Fletcher down to tne 1ower bay. While deponent was so mm custody he heard some one order that the lines of the Wave- let be cut quickly and two persons directed to take charge of the wheel of t@ Wavelet. That all this was done in agreat hurry and confusion and occupied only about fifteen minutes. That de- jonent was detained in the wheelhouse of the ‘letcher until they reached the lower bay, when the person in possession of the Wavelet, as afore- said, let go both anchors and moorea her with thirty fathoms of chain out. ‘They cette deponent to go on board the Wavelet and get bis clothes and see his wife and children, who were on board. ‘they then took deponeut and his family to the West Bank Hospital and kept them there imprisoned for several days, and then brought deponent to New York and detained him in prison for about two and a half hours, when he was discharged. ‘That during the tumult those who assaulted depo- nent were using Violent, abusive and threatening language, had loaded firearms, and one of the pis- toils was discharged, but whether at deponent or not he cannot say. ‘Tha after being so discharged under the direc- tons of plaintiffs, deponeni went to the lower bay where the Wavelet was anchored as aforesaid, with 8 tugboat and brought her back to Harbeck’s stores, Deponent further says that he knows the defendants by sight, but did not know them at the time of the aforesaid acts, That the seizure of the Wavelet was made by the directions of the defendants, who were present and commanding the force of men who committed the acts aforesaid. That deponent was at that time in the employ of the plaintiff and acting under their instractions. JOHN ©, WOOD, Sworn to before me tnis 224 day of August, 1870. Geo. CG.

OUR STEAM MARINE. Sailing of the Guiding Star—One More Effort to Revive American Shipping—The Gaiding Star’s Mission. Perhaps the war left behind it no more serious injury to any branch of commerce than it did to the shipping business. Before the rebellion the United States did all its own carrying trade between here and Europe, and was not dependent, as now, upon the ships of foreign nations for the commerce of the country with European nations. By degrees the trade dwindled away until 1t has been wiped out altogether, and shipping business 1s now a thing of the past. The first great blow which our shipping interests sustained was before the war, when Collins’ line of steamships burst up. From that time to the present no successful effort has been made to revive @ branch of commerce which the whole coun- try feels sorely should be flourishing. It would not seem likely, from the present aspect of affairs, that there 1s much chance at an early day of our ships being upon the sea in large numbers. Two causes, it is said, will effectually prevent tnis:—First, we cannot possibly compete with Great Britain in building ships; secondly, when we have them built wecannot compete with her in salilog them as cheaply. The import duty on iron and shipbuilding materials is so heavy that our shipbutiders cannot build a ship for double the money it costs an English shipbuilder. And, again, owing to a sitnilar cause, a ship built in an American dock- yard will consume from clehty to ninety tons of coal aday, while an Engiish ship, by the compound pro- cess of using steam twice over, can economize to a consumption of coal not exceeding from forty io fifty tonsa day. Hence it follows that our shipyards are deserted, da trade which every nation rejoices in 4s negiected almost entirely in this country. In proof of all this if is only necessary to glance back at the attempts that have been made to revive the trade, all of which have proved utter failures. The Com- stock Havre line to France, for instunce, stopped in 1867; Keuger's American tw Euro may be sala to be no longer in existence; the Boston line .to Liverpool and Southampton is also a complete fail- fl 101 ronized, to ran Europe, and to seek regular line of American sailing between this city and oon ports, The lowing are the officers of tne Guiding Star :—H. B, Hildreth, captain; H, H. Frost, parser; Mr, Allen, first officer; Thonias B. Tucker, second officer; Den. nis Stevens, ciuief engineer; George W. Miller, stew- ard, The Guiding siar was built in 1864 by Mr. Roosevelt of New York, aud was remettied in 1866, since which time she has been mostly in the service of the North American Steamsl ae Company, sailing from this port to Aspinwall, She has been recently thoroughly overhauled and titted up in_ first class style for the accommodation of passengers.
