UNITED STATES CIACUIT COURT. Aliered Bounty Fraud, ; Before Judge Woodrutt. Judge Woodrutl sat yesterday at the usual hour. The case of J.

Mr. Purdy, on behalf of the government, said the wernment were not ready to try the case now, ut Would be in a position to do so on Friday. vounsel for the de endant stated that Mr. Lewis had beeu twice ready aud the government was not ready, and if they were not ready to go en on Fri- day, the day fixed tor the trial, he would ask the Court to release Mr. Lewis frou his recognizances, aur. Purdy replied that the case had been ready for irial ior over a year, and adjourned trom time te tume to accommodate Lewis, and it was no more than fair now to adjourn it for a day to accommo- date the government. ‘Tue case was adjourned till to-morrow (Friday). ‘There bemg no case ready for tial we court ad- journed wil tis morning. URITED STATES DISTRICT cova. Marshal Sbarpe’s Dead Lock Removed, Judge Biatenford yesterday issued a new rule, whieh 18 tounded on his recent decision in the ease of COLLECTOR MURPHY AND MARSHAL SHARPE, Qpon tie question which of these two officials is en- tled to the custody of seized property pendiag its final disposition by the Court. The rule is as follows :— In all suits in rem. against prope} fistrict under tue provisions of auy aw ol tne United Slats reiting to the customs, te clerk shall, on receiving @ ceruiicate irom the Collector or other principa, ollcer of the cusioms in Us district, set- Ung jorth that such property 18 in bis custody, in Issuing 2 monition aguinst such property, so alter te usual form that tue mouition shall command the Marshai to attacu the property, py leaving wath the Coilector or other pérsoa having such pro- perty in custody a cop, of the mouition, and aiso a motive requiring such Collector or other person to detain such property in custody until the farther order of the Court respecting 1t, and to give due notice, &c., in the usual form, Marshal Sharpe, whose “DEAD LOCK”? im relation to the above matter we have already Rotived, must now “cave in.” The Judge has dis- ainctly—by the above rule—stamped his approbation on tne claim of the Collector to hold selzed property and detaim it im his custody until its unal disposi- tion by the Court. Itis well that this ts so,-for the decision of Judge Biatchford has put a quietus on Wuat would have been, had it continued, a very un- seeinly squabbie in most important departments of the governinent m tlus city relative to the powers and autuorities of federai officials as to where they shouid store this box of contraband cigars, or that bag of sinuggied sugar. It wonld be weil io know how lar We question of ‘fees’? has beep mixed up with tne controversy. UNITED STATES pisTaICT cauaT—Iy BANKRUPTCY. The Boston, Hartford and Erte Railroad Company Litigation. Before Judge Blatchford. Some mime since petitions for adjadications of Pankruptcy against the Boston, Hariford and Erie Railroad Company were filed im this district by James Alden and the Adams Express Company. ‘The railroad compauy put in answers and denials 1 the pelirions in voth cases. Much litigatioa, as our jaw report has shown, ioliowed upon the filing of those papers. Yesterday, however, the railroad company withdrew 18 answers and ‘deulals and dewand for tria!. The withdrawal of the auswers is Simtamount to an adjudication of bankraptey in Doth these petitions. Orders to Uns effect were pre pared yesterday, and tn all probability will be gigued to-day by Judge Blatehtord. Fees of Registers in Bankraptey.

THE DECISION. Judge Gross, in rendering his decision, said that irom the great publicity given to the case in the newspapers he thought at one time that where there Was so uch smoke there must be some fire. But he concluded, after carefully and patently hearing all the cvidence, pro and con, there was reaily very lite init, ‘The freezing 01 the men’s hands was imply incident to the business they were engaged in and to the severity Of the weather, and Capiain Peabody, or his officers, Were in ne way responsible, and he could, therefore, award no damages against them for these injuries. ‘The kicking and shoving of the men about was, however, a ditlereut matier, and dumages could be allewed for the amount of injury thas inflicted, Judgment ior piaintif’ twenty-five doltars and costs. ‘The parties then left the court.

GRIFFIN PLEADS GUILTY TO MANSLAUGHTER IN THE THIRD DEGKEE—SENTENCB POSTPONED TILL FRI- pay. At the opening of the court yesterday morning Mr. Howe, counsel for Patrick Griffin, indicted for causing the death of George W. Johnson on the 3d of August last, advised him to plead guilty to man- slaughter in the third degree. The District Attor- ney consented to accept that plea, and on motion of Mr. Howe, who desired time to prepare afidavits of good character, the sentence was postponed tll Friday. The testimony taken before the Coroner showed that the prisoner, the deceased and other parties were drinking at a lager beer saloon in New Chambers street, and that they got into a difficulty about a game of cards, which resulted in a fight when they reached the street. Griffin was heard to threaten to kill Johnson and a witness saw him drop something. When the policeman reached the sceue of the affray Johnson refused to give the name ot the man who stayved him in the forehead and shoulder and said he could “lick him.” The de- ceased said to Griffin, ‘You stabbed me, you dirty loaier.” He lived about two weeks alter he was oot The Recorder will pass sentence on Priday. BURGLARIES, John Tague, who was joimtly inaicted with Richard McGovern, was tied and convicted of burglary in the third degree. The evidence for the prosecution showed that on the night of the 20th of January the premises of William H. Arnott were burglariously entered and two silk dresses, two revolvers and an opera glass stolen, John Brean, whose sister lived in the house, voluntarily gave himself up two weeks aiter the burglary, and was called to t).e witness stand by Mr. Sullivan. He said that he was under the influence of liquor when he was induced by the other prisoners to join them in the commission of the burglary. ‘The jury were so impressed with the truthfuiness of Brean’s statement that they ren- dered a verdict of guilty. Recorder Hackett, in his characteristic, sententious style, disposed of Tague (who did not deny the charge) [AT erat years in the State Prison at hard labor.’ Charles Meore, a youth, who was indicted fora similar offence, pleaded wally to an attempt.. On tue 15th of February he effected an entrance into the exchange Office of Michael Kennedy and stole fifteen doliars 1n money, Charles Goodrich pleaded guilty to an attempt to steal a piece of black suk, valued at cighty doliars. on the 17th of February, irom the store of 8.

THE PUBLIO DEBT STATEMENT. The monthly exhibit of the Treasury Department shows a reduction in the national debt since Feb- ruary 1 of $7,317,916, The deorease during the past year was $117,619,632, and for the two years since March 1, 1869, the decrease 18 $204,754,413. MONEY FOUR TO FIVE PER CENT. The money market was easy at four'to five per cent, Business was ubout evenly distributed be- tween the two quotations, the increasing volume of business at the Stock Exchange having a tendency to cause @ greater absorption of the phlethora of money in the city. Doubtless there will be a full return to four per cent within a few days, as the Assistant Treasurer announces that he will pay for the government bonds bought to-day with two-thirds legal tenders and one-third national bank currency. Prime commercial paper is still in good request from the dealers in this class of investments, and passes quite freely at 63 per cent, with occasional sales at as low as 6 per cent. Foreign exchange was steady, but dull at the rates last quoted, GOVERNMENTS STEADY—TEN-FORTIES BUOYANT. ‘rhe government market was strong, in sympathy with the peculiar firmness of the ten-forties, the price of which, it will be remembered, took a sudden upward turn yesterday, both here and in London, This movement conunued to-day, as will be seen by our closing prices further on, in which the ten- forties are quoted ex the 23; per cent coupon due March 1, and are now fully one per cent higher than a few days since. This fact, accompanying, as it did, the weaker tendency of the five-twenties and the general market resulting from the decline in gold and a slight reaction in the five-twenties in Europe, gave rise to A CURIOUS BIT OF GOSSIP, viz.—that the agents of the Treasury Department ‘were at work both here and in London to give the market a swimming buoyancy for the purpose of floating the new loan, for which purpose they were manipulating the ten-forty five per cents as a lever for moving the whole market. Of course, the astute discoverers of this theory may be mistaken but it 1s dificult, certainly, to acceunt for the iso- laied activity of the ten-forty issues. So far asthe effect upon the five-twenties is concerned the at- tempt has been a failure, for it took all the force of the upward movement in the ten-forties to keep them from going off @ fraction in sympathy with lower gold. At best they were only steady. 4 “BULL” MARKET FOR STOCKS. The day at the Stock Exchange was one of great excitement and intense activity in the speculative raliway shares and many of the miscellaneous list, The “bull? movement jumped to new tavo- rites, while not abandoning the old. In fact, the whole speculative element of the Street seemed to have gone over to the “bull” side, and given free rein to the most san- guine views as to the future of prices. It seems almost incredible that the present extraordinary animation is 80 near @ successor of the late duipess and inactivity. The tew bears who were tempted at each rise to throw out speculative lines were overwhelmed im the rising tide, which spent its force only when the crowd on the sidewalk afver the regular closing of business had segun to separate. The special features were Union Pacific, which jumped to 30 on the prospect of the passage by the House of Representatives of the measure inter- preting the law in favor of the company; Rock Island, which quietiy advanced to 111; Northwest, which touched 90% for the preferred and 803; for tne coms mon, and Ohio and Mississippi, which advanced another one per cent, to 42%. Our comparative table of the extreme fluctuations will, however, best ulustrate the character of the day’s business:— HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES OF STOCKS. ‘The following table shows the highest and lowest prices of the leading speculative stocks during the ee Highest.

The award of two millions was made at from 109,92 to 109.98, CLOSING PRICES OF GOVERNMENTS.

The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were a8 follows:— Gold cleared $24,990,000 God balance: + 1,429,476 Currency balances. + 1,007,956 The Wisconsin, for Liverpool, to-day took out $2,500,000 in Mexican silver, in transitu. The Cuba took out $178,500 in specie. There was no shipment by the Pereire. SOUTHERN SECURITIES MORE ACTIVE, The Southern list was active and a more specala- tive feeling exhibited.

Mr. Stewart, itis learnea, has recently offered $1,000,000 for the small block bounded by Twenty.sixtn and Twenty-seventh streets and Fourth and Madison avenues, now occupied by the Harlem and New Haven Railroad depots, upon which he designs erecting a colossal hotel or rather boarding house for men, somewhat after the plan of that he recently erected for workingwomen. Mr. Stew- rt appears to have @ weakness for colossal hoteis, and has, itis further stated, accepted plans for a grand structure at Hempstead Plains, Property continues te be held with much firmness, and some Indisposition 1s manifest, av Was noted & year ago, to suffer any abatement trom previous prices. There may be some weak holders who, being pressed with suddenly accruing Nabilities, are compelled to sell at a sacritice; but these, at tne present ume, are very few.

Mr. May a Maniac—Coroner Young Postpones the Investigation, Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, was the time named by Coroner Young for investigating the cire cumstances attending the death of Mrs. Bridget May,. late of No. 28 New Chambers street, who died on Thursday last from the effects of swallowing a dose of carbolic acid, by mistake, which had been left at the house for disin- fecting purposes by an agent of the Board of Health without being properly labelled, “but owing to the sickness of Mr. May it was postponed, At the funeral of his wife on Saturday last Mr, May acted very strangely indeed, so much so in fact as to excite the tears of his friends, and on leaving the carriage upon his return he was A RAVING MANIAC, ‘and ft required several powerlul men to restrain and conduct him to his house. Since then Mr. May has remained in a partially deliriaus condition til yesterday morning, when he became more quiet and fell asleep. Tue anguish of mind, loss of rest and nourishment which the unfortunate man has sustained has left him in such a state of pnysical prostration that he is unable to leave his bed, and it Js quite uncertain when ue will be restured to health again. This state of facts appearing to Coroner Young, he Postponed the investigation indefiniely, but should Mr, May regain his beaith the jury will be imme- diately called together again.
