_ THE NEW OYSTER EXCITEMENT. The Supposed Mammoth Fortune a Fraud and Loss, Eaton Neck Den:unced- Twenty Millions of Capitaland Th'rty :housand Men Involved— Details of the Raid and Return. To any one knowing aught of New York's weak- @ess for a delicious oyster, und to the few who know something of the number of mil.1ons of dullars and ef the thousands of men employed in the oyster ‘rade, the fact that une announcement ol the dis- sovery of & new bed of oysters of une quality and tmexhaustible quantity caused a remarkable excite- ment among ali conceried will uct be considered strange. A few days ago @ man well Known to many of the oystermen came w one of the city oyster centres with a schooner partially loaded with oysters, wiich he claimed to have taken from a previously undiscovered ped, which bed he stated was in extent and resources won- @vously large. The oysters wore tried by pracucal professionals, Were prouounced fine im favor and @esirable in size, and the news soon spread among She many wholesule dealers that 9 NEW OYSTER ELDORADO had been found, The discoverer was visited and questioned, and soon afterward an agreement was made that ior the sum of $50 ne would disclose is secret, and enabie ail wno hau slovps at command toadd to their stock as tuey might dese. he terme were deen.ed moderate, and although th re Was, of @ certainty, uollitug but the declaration ef the man tw warrant atieniion, the money required wus subscribed in sums of from ten dollars 0 one dollar, as the subscribers Dad she means of gaining immediately from the discovery, and the Spot was indicated, the happy discoverer agreeing to Dead the way to the oyster bed, ina very short ume More than one hundred oyster boats were uuder sail, ail pointing as directiy as the wind would permit to EATON NECK, ‘the first point off Hempstead Bay, between Smith- town and Huntington Bay, west of the lighthouse. Im addition to tmese nearly all the inhabitants of City Island were at the ground, and at one time Mere were not less than 25) sloops awaiting maica- tions oi Where to commence, besid istly greater gamber of smaller bouts haying cach irom une to Lve men. ‘This movement was commenced & week ago last Monday, and the news having spread, though secretly made known, the excitement was ‘inteuse, And when theo gentieman heidt back from an- nouncing the precise locality on the ground that the water Was rough and the §.uiall boats wou:d not have an equal chauce, tie oyster discovery came very near beimg an OYSTER RIOT. At length, however, the word was given, and soon afterwards hundreds of oyster tuags were grappling Ni for years betor arcely a slugie . And they aked and scraped, Qnd pulled up their tongs. But rake as they might, scrape as they might, grapple and pull up as often a3 they ‘pleased, never.an oyster appeared. This was disheareuting. but, then, there was we ntieman who had made ‘the discovery; they ew that the oysters he had were oyswrs, and that, knowingly, fie Would not tell ale, And yet something of the earlier enthusiasm died away, hough they still kept the tongs in active work, and Worked until all were ured. Finally, after an ex- tensive area haa been thoroughly raked over, and very few oysters obtained, one aiter another ‘they gave it up, and last evening nearly all had RETURNED TO THEIR STAN tired, disheartened ana many of them profane. The money that had been coutributed as pay for the Wonderful discovery Was uil returned, and the declaration wus general that, though mistaken, the Giscoverer was honestly so. The loss to those who joined in tne oyster raid, in time, material, cost for extra nelp and other expenses, is estimated ag . EXCEEDING TEN LHOUSAND DOLLARS, ‘This tg not the first grand oyster excitement to which Eaton Neck has given birth, The dealers de- clare that something like thirteen years ago there was @ similar grand excitement and consequent Binwlar Joss. hh oad that, many yeais ago, Katon Neck was & profitable oystering ground, but that it finally ran it, and bas never since been redeemed. It is slaimed, however, that, “once im a while,” a stray eysterman wii strike a vein and get up a few that gre good, but that there are now enough anywhere in. Mat locality to cnable any considerable number of Men to work it profitably is no longer believed. ‘The preseni excitement, however, nas awakened discus- Blon among the thousands of oystermen, aud they are now filled with the subject, and free with facts im retation to the prospect for the coming season on the various points on GREAT SOUTH BAY where for years have been, and now again are gath- ered hundreds of thousunds ot busheis. Among these joints many of our readers will remember thit Blue L. 1, Was a famous locality, and that the oys- ere were the favorites, Some years ago, however, the value of the oyster caused the South Bay bottom to be overwoiked. ‘his effected not eniy the supply, but the reputation of the oysters of the bay, and until quite recently dut lite of a protit has been realized f:om oystertug there. Two years ago, however, a new impulse was given to the grow- Ing trade, and instead of satisiyiny themse.ves with picking up what tey found growing wild they “staked out” localities and commenced planting. This method bas been acted upen ever since, and now WEST OF BLUE POINT AND SAYVILLE there sre hundreds of acres along the beach planted with oysters. The range runs mainly from the points named to West Islip, ana Champion's creek, Mill’s creck and other sireams are teeming with them, though, as yet, tuey are mostly too small for our market, but promising really well. The growers on this |ine are confident that by next year they will have oysters which, both in uanlity and quality, will restore the bay to 3 ancient reputation as the favorite bay for Now York. The planting tere diflers from that of the other Northern localities, in that the seed is taken from the bay itself and stiiply planted along the shore line for ease in care and im gathering. In sne beds on the NORTH SIDE OF LONG ISLAND much of the seed that 1s planted 1s obtained from Newark hay, and some from tle Virginia waters. The estunate of cost for procuring the seed, as the ‘infantile oysters are caled, 18 forty cents per Dushei. A bushel will average about 2,000 sters, varying in size with the nails on e thumbs of the men who plant them. These are, some of them, ready for the market in two years from the time of a but in the main they require three years for development, roper fattening and Havor. Lut of all the neigh- Poring oyster grounds PRINCE'S BAY Ie still far ahead in the quantity transplanted and nced. ‘The estimate is that more than 100,000 sheis are planted there every year, and that more re taken from it shan from nearly al! the other combined. The points now named, together with the Long Island sound, Jersey Shore and Virginia, furnish a trade for, and passing tirough, New York which amounts each year, depending on the yieid and de- mand, to from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000, and giving almost continuous employment to nearly 30,000 men. These figures, without adding the enormous retail traae and its multitude of empioyés, show why the declaration of a grand new bed, and that near by, should have caused so great an excitement, and its (ailure lo prove, as declared, a bitver disa,- intment to thousands of trad here. They will, owever, they say, soon get over tt, and, as the prospect is improving everywhere else, they are coutident that New York will continue to uave all tue oysters it wants, without increase of price, PARADE GF THE FIFTH BRIGADB, The Evolutions in Tompkins Square. A pretty fair turnout answered the order of Gen- eral Ward for parade of the Fifth brigade yesterday, ‘The postponment of the parade, however, from last Monday to yesterday, had consideravie effect in thinning the ranks, The rainstorm also in the afternoon acted against the display and somewhat dashed the spirits and appearance of those who took ‘up the rigid line of duty in preference to their ease at home. The Twenty-second regiment was eariy on ‘the round in joree, under the command of Coionel Josiah Porter, ‘The Colonel nas A TOUCH OF THE MARTINET, and the men nnder his command show in 4 marked manuer the spirit that prevails in the regiment.

Itappears by the evidence of Mr. White, the Assistant freasurer of the Ene Kailway Company, that there was received by the Erie Railway from your tirm, on the soth of December, the sum of $220,000, and lodged in the Tenth National Bank, A. 1 think that must have been some cash transac- tion in Mr. Gould’s account, and we merely turned the money over to them, Jt may appear in the blotter, ‘The making up and rendering to Mr. Gould ‘an accountof 20,000 shares of Erie stuck, and of the proceeds of such stock, Would not come within my ‘The bookkeeper, Jonn 8.

Christian Meyer vs. Peter Seebaid,—in this case a motion was made to the Court for the appointment of a receiver of the rents and profits of the property in controversy om grounds set forth in the following opinion, The motion was opposed by Mr. Jacob A.
