Bill Declared by Judge Sutherland, of the Supreme Court, a Just One, Payment Agaiust the City. tled on Motion. decision was rendered on Monday by Judge riand, of the Supreme Court, in the matter unpaid bill of the Messrs. Corneli for iron om the new county Court House. The na- of this application, the argument before the and all the details have already been fully shed, and it is unnecessary to recapitulate at length further than to state that J. B. nell, sole surviving partner of J. B. & W. Cornell, finding that neither the Comptrol- mor Court House Commissieners would pay | $34,677 48, the balance of a bill still due them, application fora mandamus to compel pay- ht of the same, directed, respectively, to the pptroller and Court House Commissioners, THB OPINION Dodying the decision 1s quite lengthy, but is e up mainly of recitations of the affidavits and liminary statement of the case. The following | he statement of his conclusions, which are the ly present material points of interest:— "irat—The bill of the relator having been certified | verified by the Superintendent of the Court | é, and baving been audited and allowed by tho | dof Supervisors and approved by the Mayor H audited and certitied to be correct by Watson, Auditor, and paid in part by the Comptroller, the relator swearing positively that all | m in are correct and were actually | nished and deliverei under and ace | nce with the contract and that the} 8 charged are the prices to be paid therefor py | contract, 1do not think that the gener] alle. ion on information and beier in the aifidayit of .

Seco onsidering that the very general allega- n of the relator in iis ailidavit, to the effect that ments had been made by the Comptroller out 000, raised under the act oi Aprii 26, 1870, thout proper vouchers and in violation of law, \d that certain specitied payments had becn to Warvey out of said $600,000 and out of pre- appropriations largely in excess of what ‘vey Was entitied to, and that some of such pay- ents to Garvey were made without the proper Duchers and in vioiation of law, are made on in- rmation and belief merely, and considering that je Comptroller, by his ailidavit, purporting to have mn verified on the 14th of August, 1871, swears paitively 10 the effect that he has no funds legaily pplicable to the payment of the relator’s claim, nd that all the moneys which had been auchorized | bbe raised forthe new couuty Court House had | een expended “in accordance with the statutes de therein, save only funds remaining im the © ounty Treusury,” authorized and directed to be | laised by the Lexisiature of 1871, and that mo payments for or on account of sald | Pourt House had been made by him unless in ac- | ordance with law, as he is advised,” Ido not think | hat | can or ought to issue a mandamus coumand- ing the Com! to pay the rejator’s claim gen- \ of Mandamus to be Set- | BIE tae IK NEW YURK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1871.-TRIPLE SHEET. | COURT HOUSE TRON BILL, | FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

The aggregate amount of exports exclusive of specie from the port of New York to foreign ports ndamus to be Issued for Its | tor we week ending August 22, 1871, was $4,720,437. THE NEW LOAN. ‘The private and press despatches by the cable leave no room for doubt that the negotiation of the $80,000,000 five per cent bonds in Europe has been a complete success. The public are already in possession of the several facts as to the “new departure” taken by Mr. Bout well in aandoning his former method of offering the loan and entrusting 1 to the combination of American and foreign bankers known as the Syndicate. The European members of the Synaicate had, it seems, placed $5,000,000 of the bonds by tneir | private efforts before they undertook the enterprise | exclusively. This expianation accounts for the offering of only $75,000,000 in the advertisements of | the Syndicate as published in the leaaing journais | of Europe. The books were opened at ten o'clock this morning, and advices from Loudon late this afternoon state that the amount offered has been | fully covered by the subscriptions in that city and | on the Continent. One press despatch says (hat the | books will close to-morrow, although the inten- tion was to leave them open until Thurs day. The custom of the stock exchanges of Europe is «rigorous in demanding that the agents of any such enterprise as the pres- ent shall leave the books open for the period adver- tised, unless it is specifically stated that they may be Meantime closed on the taking of the whole amount to be negotiated. In the absence of the official ad- vertisement of the European Syndicate it 1s impos- Bible to say whether such provision has been made; bot if not, and the books are required to remain Open the three days to and inclusive of Thursday, we shall have an opportunity of learning to what extent Europe is willing to take our tive per cent within so limited a margin of time. Under the cus: tom alluded to all subscrivers will be furnished ‘With the bonds, each receiving nis due proportion. The Syndicate have so arranged the terms of sale and delivery that the negotiation of ths large amount will be attended with no derangement of the forelgn exchanges or money market. Private advices say that the subscriptions in Europe have been cash offers. In this case the Secretary of the Treasury will proceed to cancel a corresponding amount of the 62s, which are held chiefly in Eu- rope, giving the three months’ preliminary notice required by law, at the end of which time he will make a simple substitution in London and elsewhere of the cash received for the new fives for the six per cent 62's surren- dered to the agents of the government there at the expiration of the specified time. It is obvious that the plan will work with even more ease where the European holder of five-twenties is willing to ex- change direct for the new bonds, The negotia- tions have been attended with so much success that we hardly know which to admire most, the nigh estimation or American credit abroad or the abund- ant wealth of the Old Country, which can in a single day subscribe the enormous sum of $75,000,000 toa single object. The home progress of the loan seems lacking as yet m the element of attrac- tion with the people, but the subscriptions are coming in rapidly from the national banks, Hite jer rally, or on thé théofy that he bat gs yplicable | o the payment of the yelataoe ahs r Bother or ppropriaied by any act or acts of the Legislature passed prior to the act of Aprii 19, 1871. Third—in view of the positive affidavit of the re- | pondent and Commissioner Ingersoll, to the effect | at all of the $2v0,000 stated in the affidavit of the | lator to have been paid to the Comuissioners or | passed to their credit by the Comptrolier had been | pxpended, 4c., 1 think 1 Cannot and ought not to | ssue @ mandamus io tne Comuissioners command. | Pog them to pay the relator’s claim out of the said | Foui'th—The relator in his afidavit says, on infor- Mation and velief, that $200,000, direcied 10 be ed lor the Court House by the act of 1871, had been paid by the Comptroller to the Commissioners, | Dommissioner and respondent Ingersoll admits by affidavit that the Coumissioners have received he $200,000 irom the on gr’ and says that hey have expended the whole of it. The Comp.rol- ler Says In one of hisaitidavits (the last) “that ne has not issued or caused to be issued” the $750,000 pf stock authorized to be issued by the act of 1871, He does bot deny that he has paid to or placed to ne credit of the Comaussioners the $200,000. I must sume that the coimptrolier advanced from some func rom some source, $200,v00 in anticipation of the ssue of stock under the act of 1871. By the seventh ton of the uct Of 1871, $759,000 1s autaorized to be appropriated to be expended under the direc- tion and supervision of the Commissioners for tue completion of the Court House, and the same sec- on directed the Comptroller oa requisition of the | mmissioners to “pay over to their credit such sum or sums as they may from ume to ume deem necessary for said purposes,” and by the same tson the Comptroller is ‘authorized and directed raise said amount ($760,000) On the stock of tne county oi New York, to be of the usual form and | pparanio within twenty-five years irom ils issue.” In | vew Of my conclusions on other points of the case made by the pene the only remaining | question is, ought the Court by mandamus direct the Comp?roller to raise the $750,000 which , e is authorized and directed to raise in or by the | venth section of the act of 1871, in the manner who appear to have been aroused 9 (he advantages { of dubseribing {3 the Hew Bros by the guarantee accompanying thent of an undisputed ten years’ lease of the banking privilege, for which a surren- der of less than one per cent interest per annuni during the next ten years is all that is asked in re- turn. The domestic subscriptions to-day, as re- ported from Washington, were from this source over two miilions of dollars, being, as may be in- ferred, almost exclusively conversions of five- twenties now held by the Comptroller of the Cur- rency as security for the issues of the. national banks. [t is intimated that the success of the pre- Sent negotiation in Europe will enable the Secretary of the Treasury to redeem at least $100,000,000 five- twenties before the 1st of December. MONEY TWO TO FOUR PER CENT. The money market was more active and borrow- | ers on stock collaterals paid in a few instances as | higu as tour per cent for accommodation until to- | Morrow, The rates on government bonds were still | 2438 percent, and the market closed wiih 3 a4 per cent as the rate on miscellaneous securities, the ac- tivity being confined, it will be perceived, to tne latter class of collaterals. Prime paper ranges from 534 @ 734 per cent discount, FOREIGN EXCHANGE NOMINAL, The leading drawers of foreign exchange aban- doned the endeavor to keep thelr rates in con- ) formity with the Quctuacions in the rates for the use of cash gold, and, pencilling the nominal rates on their bulletin boards, transacted business at a dis- count varying with the changes in the Gold Room. erein directed and authorized, or sufficient of that fais or amount to pay the relator’s claim and when | either to pay the claim himself or to pay over io the Commissioners on their requisition, to be | Bppiled to the payment of the claim by them, or mount sufficient to pay it, and ought the Commis. | ners by the mandamus to be directed to make { their requisition on the Comptroller to pay the claim or for the Comptroller to pay over to them | Bn amount or sam_ suilicient to satisty | he clam. I have carefull considered the | jaborate ana abie brief of Mr. O'Gorman | on this point (and I really think it may be | yonsidered as really the only question on tne case | made by the papers), and without pretending that | a question is entirely iree from doubt. Yet, Ihave | me to the conclusion that it is the duty of the Court, on the case made by the papers, to try to ecure by mandamus the payment of the relator's | Jaim out of the $760,000 authorized and directed £0 be raised in and by the seventh section of the act pf 1871, aud that on the settiement of the order for a Yoandamus for such purpose and of the form or the Writ the order and writ sould be so worded as most likely and properly to secure such a result. I think that s0 mech of the $750,000 as shall have been usea in paying the retator’s claim may fairly , be said to have been expended for or in completion , of the Court House. I cannot believe that the Legislature intended that a building for tue adminis tration of justice should be completed or conside: 3 complete until the honest and just debts in B fn its creation or compleuon had been paid or pro- ided for. Without even adverting to many of the considers ‘tions which have led me, under tne circutustances Ol the cause, to put & Construction on the seventh ection of the act of 1871, which Will permut a man- ‘damus to Issue In the best form to secure t any = guent of the reiator’s claim out of the $750,000 authorized and directed to be raised by the Comp- , trolier in aud by that section, I will say that the controlling consiieration has been that I pnot ‘see any grounds for doupting that the claim is honest ‘and just and correck, and that I cannot see hat the relator has any remedy by action agatust the Board of Supervisors or city Corporation or | Commissioners, Or anybody or persoa or person: see no way in which the reluor can entor payment except by Mandamus irom or out of the 50,000 Authorized and directed to be raised by the | Feventh section of the act of 1 The bill of the | elator havipg becu aunited and allowed by the , soard of Supervisors, and approved by the Mayor, and audited and pronounced correct by the auditor, | di paid in part by the Comptroller, Ldo nov think | the relator was called upon, or bound to preseat 1 pr the balalance aue on it to the Commisstor or Feauditlng by them, Let the form of the order and ‘of the mandamus to be made and issued according to this opiuion, be drawn by the counsel for the re Jator, or one of them, and settled on motion.” WESTERN COMMERCE, Chicago Foreign Trade—Direct Importat trom Liverpool! ew and Expeditions Co munication with Europe—Commerce verted trem New York.

GOVERNMENTS LOWER. The government list was weak, despice the ad- vices concerning the success of the new loan in Europe—a result due to the influences arising out of the dear rates for cash gold, the explanation of which ties in the involved process whereby bonds in London are bought with cheap bills of exchange and tien sold in this market. Moreover the success of the new fives, in providing the Secretary of the Treasury with the means of redeeming the five. twenties, “payable, but not due,” challenges the ability of the older five-vwenties to maintain their recent relation to the par of gold, and the decline to accommodate themselves to the new platiorm = of values = Which circumstances have thus constructed for them has helped the influences tirst spoken of The question of prices in the government market is likely, therefore, to be attended with Interesting fea- tures pending the nsformation of the public dent.

A “cash’’ transaction requires the delivery to be made the same day. Hence out of the many TMulllions transacted in stocks and gold daily only a very small amount, is consummated the same day, the brokers being allowed the interval to the next day to adjust thelr aceounts and arrange to take or procure the stocks or gold so bought or sold. Hence the expression cash gold— Which seems redundant in view of the fact that gold, with the majority of mankind, is “very hard cash” itself—is employed to designate gold de- liverabie to the buyer on the day he buys it. When the merchant or speculator borrows gold—the for- mer in carrying over @ transaction, either through stress of circumstances, as frequently Occurs with the exporting merchant, or thrdugh hope of a greater profit in his dealings, and the latter to make his de- liveries of gold sola for a decline—ne is compelled to procure it from those who are, as the street terms 1t, “long” of goid. Usually when gold is plentiful the borrower is paid @ consideration for doing 80; but just now a strong clique in the market have got possession of a large amount of the coin, and bor- rowers are at thelr mercy. To-day the mar- ket was 80 completely im the power of the clique that they easily “squeezed” the borrowers and forced them to pay as high as one per cent for the use of gold until to-morrow. In other words, persons having need of gold to pay customs and de- chining to buy it, or having already paid their cus- toms with borrowed gold, were compelled to pay at the rate of $1 in currency for the use of each one hundred dollars of gold until to-morrow. Nor was relief to beafforded by buying gold, for while the indicator marked 11234 as the price of gold, mean- ing thereby such gold as was deliverable next day, gold for present use was worth a premium on its dial quotation equivalent to the rate in the loan market, THE GOVERNMENT GOLD SALE ANTICIPATED. For some days past the merchants have com- Plained to Secretary Boutwell of this situation of affairs, the stringency in cash gold being gradually increased from day to day. Tne telegraphic an- nouncement to him of the extravagant rates ex- acted to-day, which at the lowest were 6-64 per cent, equivalent to 25 per cent per annum, appears to have induced his inter- ference; for at alate hour Assistant Treasurer Hill. house suddenly notified the street and posted ® bulletin in the Rotunda to the effect that he would receive offers to-morrow (Wednesday) for the two millions of gold advertised previously to be sold on Thursday, the tenders of five-twenties being invited as usual at the same time. The an- nouncement created little effect in the Gold Room, where the price remained 11234, the extremes of the Gay having been 11234 and 112%, the clique being content with lending their gold and making no demonstration on the premium. After the close of banking hours 1-16 a 44 per cent was paid for the use of gold to-morrow, showing @ belief on the part of the borrowers that Mr. Boutwell’s sale would not break the “corner.’’ In fact, it remains to be seen whether Mr. Boutwell’s step was the most | } politic one to take under the circumstances. The merchant who borrows gold in place of closing a | transaction at the market enters ile arena of specu- | lation, and, if “short” of gold, has no more righv to ask Mr, Boutwell to come to his relief than has a merchant who Is “long’’ of gold iu anticipation of a rise the right to complain of the usual weekly sales of gold by the Treasury Department. doubtless, cases where the exporter, between the ! time of an “order” and the certification of his bills of lading, 1s under the necessity of borrowing gold; but the “short” interest so created would be trivial and uever imporiant enough to excite the speculative appetite ol a “bali clique. Mr. Bout- well, by changing the day of his gold sale, inti- mates his wi!llngness to help one of the parties to — the current speculation in the Gold Room, and houid the clique have made their arrangements to bid for and absorb the $2,000,000 of gold he intends selling to-morrow they could make the merchants pay double the rates “squeezed” out of them to- day. The precedent of the government gold sale in 1869, when the Fisk-Gould con- spiracy was demolished, is no reason for the present interference, because at that time the price of gold was fictitiously advanced by the conspira- tors to the detriment and derangement of business in general. Gold is on its way to par just as cer- tainly as the days roll over the history of the coun- try in its present prosperous career; but its descent will be checkea by these mercantije transactions which give it an artificial scarcity, Great evils sometimes correct each other. The speculators in the Gotd Room will check that unhealthy tendency toward speculation in mercantile circles, which, if encouraged, will be the vane of business. ‘The rate paid for the use of gold to-day was equalled on the 17th of October, 1868, when if was | one per cent, and exceeded October 8, 1866, when tt | reached two per cent.
