YACHTING. Commencement of Operations in New London. Tho New Schooner Yacht Building for James H. Banker, Esq.—Her Dimensions, Description and Accommodations—The Fate of the Rambler—Crack Boats Laid Up in Winthrop Cove—The 'Phan- tom to be Partly Rebuilt. YACHTING New LONDON, Feb. 28, 1871, New London is as quiet a town as any lying on the headwaters of Long Island Sound, aud that is say- ing a good deal for its stillness, Its streets, back from the tideway of the beach, are seldom disturbed by the confusion and clamor of the trafic usually found in a busting seaport, Seldom is the monotony which broods over its mud-scows and canal boats in ‘this season of the year disturbed. The chief trade done here Is in lumber and fish. New London was once a mighty port, but that was before gas and pe- troleum came to illuminate modern civilization and biow up hotels into mid-air. But alas ! her mercan- tile greatness has decayed. But 1 many of its in- habitants are of THE GENIVS SLEEPY, respecting the trades and enterprises of the present go-ahead axe, they love a pretty yacht, and its old seamen and young sailors go nto ecstasies over the harmony and proportions, flowing lines and perfect symmetry, and elements of beauty and power com- bined in these brave and useful vessels, that for years have visited its harbor as each summer rolls around, for friendly trials of speed or bent on adven- tare. It isthe annual zest ana champagne of the old town, and galvanizes it, for the moment, into fresher life. And here, too, when the ‘YACHTING SEASONS are over, When the warm aerial tints of sunny alter- noons—with the joyous, leaping water, shot with every variety of hue, from the transparent green to the deepest purple, tossing their white crests to the winds—have given way to coldcr weather, And Winter, the grand old Harper, Smites his Thunder-harp of Pines, the owners of these vessels, from the little cockle- shell to the largest schoouer, find it a safe and ex- celient place to ‘‘lay up” their aquatic pets until the following spring recalls them again to that activity of races and cruises which the veteran yachtman Joves so well, ‘The winter just passed bas been no exception to the rule, and WINTHROP COVE has sheltered and is sieltering a feet of brilliant schooners, whence in a short time they will be taken to prepare for sharp and decisive work. On the banks of this Cove there have been constructed year. after year many yachts of various sizes and modeis that have from time to time been antago- nistic to each other in sharply contested races, but yet all, or the majority of them, of such racing pro- cliviies that they never brought the “foul” ancher of the New York Yacht Club, with its Stars and Stripes, into disrepute, At the present time the old famitiar spot that has produced 60 many triumphs in yachts is the scene of activity im this species of naval architectural science, a8 there 18 In @ state Of satisfactory for- Wardness~cousidering all the circumstances —a “w “@omoonen Yacue™ of about 240 tons, designed for one of the most ex- cellent members and long a yacht owner of the New York Yacht Club, on the stocks, This gentleman is Mr. James H. Banker, of New York, and the owner of the Rambler, a sturdy pleasure craft that has been recently dismantied and will soon probably be broken up. Her owner became tired of ber and, en- thusiastic sailor and yachtman as he is, sighed for something that could not, 1 the coming season, be tantalized by such new “BIG "UNS" as the Enchantress, Wanderer and Dreadnaught, and not be the last in a well contested race to “shoot her boit.”? All the experience of ripe judges and stoarheedad architonts have been brought to bear on the mode! of the boat now going up, aua her builder, Mr. E. ¥. Beckwith, aithongh not so en- thustastic in the productions of hke character to proclaim, with many of the smart ones of the new school of aquatics, “that she will be the first one home in the first big race,” is satisfied that the PRINCIPLES EMBODIED in her construction are sound, and that time will prove them to beso. The keel of this yacht was laid in the first week of January, and, considering the confounded backward weather for such work, has been well burried, as she isin frame, celled in- side, the outside planking is commenced to be put on and by the latter part of the present week this portion of the work will, in all probability, be finished. The new boat is much larger than the Rambler. Her butlder has watched the progress of the new yachts in your vicinity, and is exceedingly well pleased with the anticipation of what he hopes to accom- plish. ‘The new boat will be of the following dunen- sions, Which can be relied upon as being very accu- rat Length on water line, 103 feet 2 inches, Length at gunwale from forward part of stem to after part of stero post, 107 fect 6 Inches. Length at gunwale from forward side of stem to alter side of stern, 120 feet 9 inches. Extreme breadth of beam, 25 feet. Depth of hold, 9 feet. Dratt of water, 10 feet, ‘Tonnage, 240 tons, or thereabouts, Rer extended stern 1s an English stern American- wed, if such an expression can be used, and it means anything, but it is materially diferent to the “COCKNEY” STERN of the new yachte Enchantress and Wanderer, and yet not dissimilar to that of the Dreadnaught, now bout to be launched at Poillon’s yard, in Brookivn, Y. When finished it will be elliptical in shape, and not the ugly square form, The new boat will not have any bilge under water, ‘and #8 much sharper below ner water line than any yacht known of in the New York Club and in pro- cess of construction. She will have an uncommon long run, much longer than any in the fleet, and her shape on deck wil) not be materially different frem that of the Fleetwing, although she is little longer and wider than her. THE FRAMB of the new boat is of the best white oak and red cedar, with locust and little hackmatack. Her stanchions are al! of locust, and her ceiling is of wey pine, Her keel andplanking are of the best hio oak. She will have a mahogany rail and other deck finish of like material. Tne bowsprit is to be of the usual style as observed om the majority of American yachts. }t will be per- manent 2nd have no cutwater set on it if pleasant- looking withoutit. Shonld this not be so when tried it will have a scroll work. The bowsprit of the new boat, In a word, though diferent, will not be totally diseimilar vo those of the Phantom ana Silvie. Her frame ballast, which is OF LEAD BLOCKS, was cast in the shipyard and are now in position amidships, being hung on rubber, which 1s claimed as @ novel and excellent idea. Tweity-six of these blocks are in place, averaging 1,900 pounds each. The bafance of her ballast will be of iron. THE ACCOMMODATIONS of this yacht will be of the most ample description. Rer cabin will be amidships, with three stateroems alt and one forward. Two of these will be on the starboard and two on the port side, The after rooms will be lighted and ventilated. by a mahogany trunk skylight, eigbteen feet in length. ‘The main saloon will be seventeen feet in length and ligbted by a sky- light eight feet long. Back of the stateroom, on the port side aft, there wiil be linen and wine lockers, The satling master and mate's room will be aft, on either side of the gangway, which will be very commodtous. The water closets are arranged to be conveniently placed. near the staterooms, and the bath tub in one of the larger rooms wil! be let down under the floor when not used—a very CAPITAL PLAN of disposing of it. Much of the magnificent furniture and fittings taken from the old Rambler will find a place in Mr, Banker’s new yacht. In every respect the state- rooms and saloon wil be handsomely finished and fitted. Hard wood will be abundant in thts respect. The staterooms will be Snished in cloth. ‘The sa- loon wili have sofas, lounges and everything cise that is suggestive of BASE AND COMFORT, a ubrary, firepiace of e. ite design, and back of the sofas there will be lockers, the doers of which will be finely ornamented. The iorecastie will have accommodations for erght men, hav- Ing. wiree Jengths of bertis and two bunks forward. ‘The foormng will be of wal- hut and spruce, the latter having the quality of Blways holding a bright wlute color. The pantry will be in wainut and the kitchen flooring of wing 4n colora and cemented. The tanks, which wil be placed alrectly over the lead ballast amidships, have 4 capacity of upwards of two thousand gallous. PARRING. The sparring of the new yacht has pot yet been fully decided upon, but it Wail be done upon a sys tem confirmed “by experience and emunently prac- Gicable and wisé, | ‘Lue jengvu of the masts, although not as yetdetcrmined upon, will vet be far from eighty feet. Such, i brief, when finished, will be the new NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY. MARCH 1}, 1871.—TRIPLE schooner yacht to take the place of the Rambler in the New York Yacnt Club fect.

Keel. “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.’’ Such was the thought when examining the beautiful schooner yacht now on the stocks at Greenpoint, the property of Mr. Louis Loriltard, ong of our most enthusiastic yachtmen. Without speaking of her model merely as a naval constructor would discuss her merits and demerits, it must ve said that her lines appear as near perfection as they can be to give the first requirement for a yacht—namely, speed. No one familiar with the pomts necessary in the hull of a vessel to insure swiftness will deny her possessing them all, and it Will be surprising if when tried she does not prove a very tough customer to deal with, either by the wind with centre-board down, or going large. There ave several features in her construction quite novel—one in particular her long, over-nanging stern, which extends at least fifteen feet beyond the sternpost, teus riving great additional deck reom aud uuuwing her run tO ve carriea yur su us to add much to tne beauty of her appearance aft. When launched, and with water and provisions on board ready for a cruise, she will present a most attractive appearance, and wiil not fail to call forth exclama- tions of admiration and delight from those who un- derstand and can appreciate the beauties of naval architecture. Judging from her masts, which are now in, her spread of canvas will be very great, and, with all the propelling power she will have, with so little to pro- pel the vessel must be fast that will beat her on any pomt ot sailing. She is a ccntre-board yacut, and there are mapy who do not advecate this pian of construction for sea-going vessels, and others who prefer it. Hach side bave their arguments, and the discussion on the subject hay bow become quite ammated. It is, newever, itke all otier disputed points, best settled by experience, and the coming yachting season will give both sides the opportunity of observing the working of their theories 1n a practical manner by the verformance of this elegant schooner. Alter examining her out- ward appearance go on board, and you will find & deck flush fore and aft, well laid’ with narrow plank, ‘Toe hatches and companion ways are Muished in mahogany, without any extra ornamen- lal work, which appears in excellent taste, and there 1s a substantial air about everything that tm- presses one with the fact that the vessel has been Guilt under the supervision of one who can run a yacht, Going below, the joiners are found hard at work upon the interior fitt which are well advancea towards completion. ie saloons, staterooms, sinoking room and galley indivate that every atten- tion 1s being paid to the comfort of these who go to sea for pleasure—Indeed, almost the entire interior of the vessel is given up to those who belong aft, the iorecastle room being very jimited, as it neces- sarily is in @ craft so very sharp forward. ‘The ‘Wood work 1s @ combination o1 pine and walnut— plain, but very neat—and the cabin when finished and furnished must Impress one with a sensation of comfort and convenience, as @ place wherein much time can be passed without its hanging too heavy on one’s hands.

The First National Bank af South Bend vs. Lanier et al.—Error to the Ctreult Court of Indiana, The bank in this cage tssued to U. V. Culver two certificates for its stock—one for 100 shares and the other for fifty ehares—which represepted that the stock “was transferable on the books of the bank in person, or by attorney, only on the surrender” of the certificates, A bylaw of the bank contained the same provision, Subsequently Culver sold 138 of these shares to the defendants 1a error, assigning ube ceruiicates and executing wers of attorney authorizing the legal transier of the stock on the books of the bank. ‘The appellees produced the cer- tilicates with these enuorsements at the bank, aud demanded the transfers, offerig to surrender them. The bank refused the transfer, and detendea on the grounds that Culver piedged the certidicates to he bank as security tor any balances that might at any Lime be due it, in case ti became a depositor in New York, wita the banking house of Culver, Peun & Co., and that in that way an indeptedness arose, and the certiicates had been sold by tae party authorized jor that purpose by Culver, and the other stock had pean weangterred wo fhe parcharers on the books of the bank, while an indebtedness stil remained due the bank on the part of Culver; that the bylaws of the bank were not complied with in respect to the transfer. The plaintits demurred to tus an- swer, and the demurrer was sustained and the cuse | came here, the plaintitls in error maintaining that the assignees of Culver took the certificates subject to ail the equities that existed against hin, and that the claiin o1 the bank is therefore paramount. The defendants in error iusist that, as there was no de- livevy of the certificates by Culver to the bank, there was no valid pledge, and that the bank was pro- hibited by the act of June, 1864, making any “Joan or discount on the security of the shares of its own capital stock,” and this transaction 1s ciaimed to be im violation of that provision. No. 89, The Fourth Nattonal Bank of New York vs. The New Orleans and Carrotton Railroad Company, G. T. Beauregard and Others,—Appeal from the Circuit Court for the District of Louisiana, The ap- Pellant in this case was assignee of @ one-third interest in the railroad named in the title, which had been assigned to it by one Graham, who, with one May and Beauregard, were the owners of the lease of the road for a period of twenty-tive years, and this action was brought to compel the com- Pany to recognize the transfer, On the trial it ap- peared that May had paid in all the money which stood on the books in the name of Graham, and it was claimed, therefore, that the latter had only a nominal interest and the bank took nothing by the assignment, It also appeared that the assignment Was made to secure certain sums due the bank which were afterwurd paid and other- wise secured. On these facts the Court held the complainant to be without equity as against the railroad company and dismissed the bill as to it, with ieave to the aa to bring suit against Beauregard, May and Graham for a settlement of the pactnership interests. Appeal was taken to this court, May having been Assistant Treasurer at New Orleans, and becoming indebted to the government by defalcation, transferred all his property, includ- Ing his two-third interest in the road (one-third of Wiich was nominally Graham’s) tothe United Staves, by whom it was transferred to three other parties, with guarantee, and who were made defendants, ‘:his made it necessary for the attorney General to appear in the case, to protect the rignts guaranteed by ba) goverument and as counsel for those delead- ants.

These letters with the money in them and sixteen otier letters were found on the prisoner, and were offered in evi- dence. The letters contaiming the money had not been opened, ‘Yhe Assistant District Attorney asked leave from the Court to open the letters in question. It was otected to on the part ef the defendant that the United States had only a special property in the Jetters, and no one had a right to open thei but tae persons to Whom tacy were addressed, The . ourt overruled the objection and ailowe the letters to be opened, Hartnett took the letters from the box of another letter carrier, contrary to the laws of the Post Oftic which say that one carrier bas no right to take letiers from the box of another. The defendant’s counsel called attention to the fact (by way of motion to quash) that the word “Treasury” Was spelled “Treas. ‘rhe Court observed that that availed nothing. ‘the Assistant District Attorney, in summing up the case for the government, observed that there Was hardly @ term of the court in which there were Bot from two to ten carners from the Post oitice convicted of stealing letters and sent to the State Prison, but sometimes they gor pardoned out, ‘hey thought that the political influence that appointed them could acquit them.

It is stated by his coun- sel that he was ill for several months; that the transaction complained of was conducted during this iiness through a clerk, who had proved un- faithful to his trust, and that he is not, therefore, responsible for the alleged fraud. The Colonel has placed a sum of money in tke bands of the Treasury Agent suftictent to cover all claims against him. Seamen Belonging to the Ship Sbatamuck Charged with Mutiny. The United States vs, Peterson, Johnson and Thompson.—The defendants are indicted under the amended act of Congress of March 3, 1835, which provides for the punishment of persons guilty of revolt and mutiny on board vessels, The act says that such persons shall be fined and imprisoned and not dealt with after the manner of those wno commit capital ofiences. The trial came on yester- day, before Judge Wovdruff, in the Untied States Cireuit Court. On the Stn of December, 1870, the ship Shatamuck, of Bath, Me., owned by J. P. Morse, was hauled out in the stream in the port of New York, from the Brooklyn side, her crew, consisting fourteen or fifteen men, having gone on board that morning, preparatory to @ voyage to England. ‘The captain Was on shore, and the vessel was then under the command of tne first mate, George Hall, aud the second mate, Wright. Everything went on pretty well until the afternoon, wnen, according to the tes+ timony for the prosecution, the defendant, Thomp- son, Was lashing the beds of the water casks. The mate told him he did not do it properly, woereupoa Thompson replied that the mate Was a d—n har. ‘Bhompson had in bis hand @ marlinspike, which the second mate took from bim and put in his rvom. Subsequently there was a good deal of commotion and excitement, occasioned by the fact that aman named Smith, one of the crew, approached the second mate, suid he was the man he was looking for, and struck him with his fist. Upon this the first mate desired the second mate to arm himself with a cutlass, which he did, while the mate procured a revolver and the steward amusket, As the second mate was coming out of the cabin Smith attempted to stab him with a eheath knife, whereupon the second mate struck him with the cutlass upon the head. Smith fell from the ef- fects of the blow, several members of the crew ex- clannuwg that they ought to rush Jorward aud take SHEET. one of the boats for the purpose of going ashore. ‘the first mate declared that if apy) man attempred to take the boar he would snoot him, Previously Peterson had taken hold of the second mate and had threatened to strike him. About thirty days after this occar- rence Smith died from the effects of the wound in- flicted on his head by Wright, who was arrested and committed to the Tombs on a charge of murder, Wright was examined as one of the witnesses for the government on tie present prosecution, and he tes- tifled, in answer to questions by counsel for the de- fendant, that while he and Hall had been confined in Ludlow street Jail they talked about this case, but novi reference to the vestimony they were to give on this trial, For the deteneo counsel examined a witness med George Bishop, whose testimony was a dl contradiction to that of the first mate, Bishup stated that the first mate took up a marlitnspike while Thompson was engaged lashing the beds or the i and attempted to strike ‘Thompson 1 Mr. Stuart summed up the case on the part of the defendants, contending that what they did was in self-defence, and that the conduct of the oflcers of the ship was desperate, and the crew were anxious ‘Vo escape from the violence exercised towards them by the onicers, General Davies, United States Assistant District Atvorney, replied on the part of the government, and aiter @ brief charge from Judge Woodrufl the jury found the prisoners guilty, with a recommendation to merey. ‘The prisoners were remanded for sentence.

Before Judge Gilbert, Daniel Chauncey, Receiver of Heary W. Lnnveit | vs. yohn KR. Gardiner et al.—Vhe complainant in | 1his suit states that in the month of Decuiaber, 1868 by order of the Supreme Court, in an action then pending between tue plaintiff aud others, Mr, Ghann- | cey was appointed receiver of the money, property, &c., of Henry W. Hubbell, The said Hubbell subse- quently assigned to plain all the reat and personal estate of which he was owner or in which he was interesied.

Acting under Vis assignment, it ix alleged, Join Gardiner, Ai¢: ander P, Irwin and Charles A. Sherman possessed themseives of Hubbell’s property, a portion which Was disposed of realizing $100,L00. No part oi the as- sets has been devoted to satistying the creditors of Hubbell, por has an inventory of the creditors or assigned estate been delivered to the county Juuge, nor has any bond been tiled by the defendants. ‘They retused to make any payment or to give any account of the amounts they have reahzed, when requested to 40 80, by the receiver.

To rae Epiror or Tae HERALD:— Will you allow me the justice of space in your cul- umns for a Word or two of reply to your remarks upon me in to-day’s HERALD? I have borne silently all the- slanders and abuse that have been heaped upon me for the last two or three years on account of my reli- gious opinions. But Ido not propose to bear silently this new slander that ts spreading trom man to man and from woman to woman, and to which you have given currency, namely, that I have ‘backed down.” It 18 well understood in my vestry and im my congregation, and 1 desire it to be understood outside ot my parish also, that rather thau retire, by so much as the fraction of a hair's- breadth, from my Catholic position or principles— from my fight with Romanism, on the one side, and with Protestantism on the other—I will willingly Yleid every earthly comfort. You insinuate that [ am now acting from policy. But what are the facta? I know that my views aroextremely unpopu- Jar both among Roman Catholics and among Pro- testants; and I am, and have all along been, per- fectly willing to take the consequences of that unpopularity. I stand square up to what I have said and done, including my obedience to the bishop. I still point to the patent fact that every Roman Catholic nation tn the world and that every Protestant nation intne world has become riddled Uirough and through with scepticism; and he isa bold man who will dare deny this fact. I sull point Jo the fact, therefore, as a doctrinal system, is, under both the Roman Catholic and the Protestant presentments of tt, @ patent tatiure—that it has lost its hold upon the enlightened world. It is of no use to Close our eyes to this enormous wrec And I ask what is going be done about ity I sul claim for the old Catho- he Christianity that as by its supernatural faith and its corresponding mode of worship it was once en- abied, though starting with only 120 souls, to go forth and in 300 years conquer the whole enligit- ened world; 80 now, again, if it 1s brought out in 118 purity it can do Itkewise, and recapture the na- tions which Romantsm and Protestantism have lost. I cnarge the Roman Church with @ hostitity to our Catholic party for the views and practices that party hold, which is only ex- celled in bitterness by the hostility of the Protestants, Its atiacks upon us, however, have been less boid and more Jesuitical than those of Protestants, but none the less effective. Now, sir, no considera- tons of policy, no slander, and nothing which this world can ofier me weighs @ particle in my mind to cause me to swerve from my position. And what- ever else that is false may be said no man and no newspaper shall say of me, without the promptest denial on my part, that I nave from policy’s sake denied my Master or compromised the truth tn the Jeast. When my arguments are answered then I may change, but not before. Two months since the bishop of the diocese inhibited certain ritual acts, Itis our instinct as Catholics, and it is, too, our pleasure to obey our right reverend fathers in God whenever we can do so without sacrificing princi- ples. Itis our instinct and our pieasure to consult the wishes of our congregations whenever we can do so without sacrifice of principle. But for myself 1 have no ear to lend or obedience to yieid to outside popular clamor. You remark in’ your article that “the ritualistic extravagances Nave therefore been dropped, and minister and people have come down to simple acts of worship,” and that “yester- day the service and sermon were in harmony.” [ content myself by replying, first, that the service to which you allude as having been simplified ts the main Sunday service of the church; tnat it never has been ritualistic in the popular acceptation of the term, and that, so far as { wm aware, it was ren- dered by me just as I have been in the habit of ren- dering it since the introduction of the voy choir into our services last May. Secondly, that the sermou, which you spoke of as toned down to suit popular notions, instead of being toned down, con- tained—and in expressions, too, of the ut- most frankness—the very statements which have brought upon me the hate and storm of Protestant- ism; avd, furthermore, that your abstract of my sermon Was, SO far as it went, true to what I said. Thirdly, that my vestry has not asked me todoa thing to stuitify myself; that, on the contrary, it has been unwilling that ¢ should take any step that would be iu the slightest degree inconsistent with my principies, The vestry has acted in the most noble, the most manly and Christian manner. I never saw such men. J never before conceived such harmony between conflicting views to be possibie. 1 wili go miles to meet them, provided I have not to cross the Ime of consistency. We have. in short, come together in the spirit of the utmost conciliation, and, so far as I know, with the exception ef the case of one Individual, there is peace and harmony in my parish. We are in nopecuniary difficuity. We have rented an unprecedented number of pews for mid- winter, ten to one more, as I believe, than we have ever before rented in the montis of Janucry and February; so much so that the really desirable ones are aboat gone. For the last two months, during Whica the press has ceased its #itacks on us, the congregations have been steadily increasing unui Sunday beiore last, when the church was full. But the world, the flean and the Devil will not permit this prosperity—this ftomph of ours over our foes— to goon. In the last few days Satan seems to be de- termined to step in between me and my vestry, and in varlous ways to break up this peace and this our successful career, and among those ways by spreading abroad the fuslenood tat I have deserted my principles and acted and preached ine consistently with them, and that the vestry of Christ church, eight manly gemtiemen, would be and are willing to sustam a rector Who is willing to stultiy hunself; thus fercing me into a public dental, and forcing both myself and my parish 1uto a notoriety which 1s harmful, and from which we shrink. It was, perhaps, not unnatural thatthe HERALD should take up and give voice to this public and generally believed, but none the less faise, rumor. I am far, therelore, from tinding fault with you; but Ido ask of you the Justice of permitting me to deny this last of the Many slanders that have been started agaist me, since you have given it your wnpronatur and Ue currency of your columns. b.G. EWER New York, Feb. 27, 187. | uth in him, | mitted, through couusel, an applic | tive nearly of all the that Chrisuanity, ; 18 capabie of being compacted into a very few lines. On the 22d of April, 1861, she married John Pi Crofut. She was young and confiding, and loved her husband and was true as steel to him, He waa young and, as she declares, betrayed her confidence, and te love he should have given ber he gave to others, and she proved to her sorruw there was no In other words, as she alleges, he haa committed aduilery With varlous women at various places in this city, the particulars of which are specifically set fortn in her complaint. She could endure his infidelity no longer, and flading that he squandered his time, aifections and earns ings upon other women, instituted’ pro- ceedings for a divorce, and with at sub. ton for alimony, counsel fee and support for their only child—a boyy now four years oid. A motion Was made some ume since for the latter application, and the same granted. Meantime it was discovered, as averred, that since the institution of these proceedings her husband was living In adultery with a woman in Eldridge street, and thereupon a supplemental complaint was made setting forth this allegation and insisting upon immediate decree of divores and settlement of the question as to the custody and support of the child, Yesterday was set down for the trial. Upon the CALLING OF THR CASE : the counsel for Mrs. Crofut rose with sprgnuy: alacrity to his fee'—a fact astonishingly true, aston~ isting a8 it may seem, and particularly when this particular counsel 18 so well known that it is un- necessary to menuon his name, as presenting am almost exact portraiture of Peter Pindar:— With snipelike nose and ferret glowing e; Lean, sallow cheeks, long chin, with beard supplied, Poor, crackling jotats and withered parchment bide, Asif old drums, worn out with martial din, Had clubbed the eliow beads vo form bit ‘Tais counsel started off in ts usual velo, exhaus. expedaitan words of the lan- guage, ‘The plain English of it was that this was a c Jn which they did not seek to hide themselves under the veil or a reierence, His cllent had nothing: w couceal, Sle was —~ chaste as the Icicle ‘That's curdled by the frost oF purest snow, And bangs on Diau's temple.

She gave her real nama. as Het‘ie Margrave. But all this is imumateriald which her testimony was not.

Auy man might have gone thera und given his name John Crofat, and the woman with him as his wite.’? “Here is a witness,” said the counsel, and hd placed upon the table before him the son of the par-| Wes tothe suit, “He's light infaatry vat & heavy! witness.” “Ain't this boy a picture of the John Crofut whd sronpen at your house”? he asked Mrs, Cohen, “ile certuiuly 18," kaswered Mr. Cohen. ‘au’t you see the likeness?” he asked Mrs. Cohen., ‘The perfect image of lum,” she promptly ans swered. ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE JUDICIAL DOUBT, To clinch the tact still firmer he recatled Misq Netty, who gave some testimony throwing soma light on this point, and then, as 4 triumphant con; clusion, 6ald he would be sworn hunself, He w. sworn and told how Miss Netty and he and a poliee. man calied on the defendant at 101 Eldridge stree and found him im ped, He had never seen him, an took Misa Netty along to ldeatify nun and tue policed man to prevent any little uupleasantnes: “How do you know ne is the huspand of the plain’ except her sister teliivg you so?” imé patiently asked the Judge. “He confessed it, sir. { went with the order frou your Honer directing ilm to pay alimony.” “Well, What took place ?”” “ “Is your name John Ptsel Crofut ?”?
