UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT—IN BANKRUPTCY. The Bowling Green Savings Bank Adjudi- cated an Involuntary Bankrupt. Betore Judge Blatchford. Yesterday was the return day of the order to show cause why the Bowling Green Savings Bank should not be aajudicated an involuntary bankrupt on the petition of Aaron May, @ depositor. Proof was offered of the publication of the order. ‘Mr. Veviin appeared on behalf of the Receiver of the Bank, Mr. SI oper Knupp, and objected to the jurisdiction of the e reagon that the bank haa been dissolved before the Anng of the petition and the service of the papers; thal, therefore, there ‘was no bank to adjudicate bankrupt; and that the State Court had obtained control of matter by the appoitment of a receiver. Counsel arguea that so far as the bank was concerned in these proceed- ings before the Court, it was a dead institution, and ¢onld not be adjudicated bankrupt, or calles upon to answer or show cause. Judge Biatohford said these points had been already passed upon. He nad repeatedly held that tere was no force 1 theul as against the Bank- Tuptey law. ‘The bank was then called, and there being n0 ap- pearance on Its behalf, ‘The Court ordered an adjudication of bankruptcy against it by default, Voluntary Petitions in Bankruptcy.

Friday night last William Bain and William Row- ley went into;a groggery No. 114 Chatham street, and while there became engaged in a quarrel with Simeon Cragin and another party, as yet unknown. In a few moments Cragin and his companion, tiring ot “chin music,” as they expressed it, pitched into the other two and beat them most unmercifully, Cragin sttempeing the while to rob Bain of his watch and money. The latter cried lustily for assistance, ‘and in answer to his entreaties an officer rushed in and captured Cragin, his companion, however, mak- ing good his escape.

Mr. flowe, one of Heinrich’s counsel, asserted that the prisoner Was not guilty of the charge; that he was not in the banking house of Kennedy & Co, on the day the bonds in qpestion were stolen; that so far as Mr. Baker Was concerned it was @ ‘clear case of mistaken identity, and that he, Mr. Howe, could, but fora solemn obligation, name the very partiea who took the property and in whose pos- session it now 1s. THE BRIDE Of AN HOUR, A Forced Marringe and a Discarded Hlus- band. One of the most curious cases over developed in a Police Court was brought to the notice of Judge Scott, at Essex Market, yesterday. A man named Julius Petrokowski,, @ professor of music, living at 906 East Twenty-fifth street, was charged with ab- ducting a young lady by her parents, In Investi- gating the case it was discovered that the girl, who 1s a beautiful and most ethereal Polish Wionde, about eighteen years of age, was forced against her will to marry & young man of her own race, named Antonio Siiskowskt, Antonio ana the young jady, who bears the euphonious cog- nomen of Bvonistawa Pzyvylska, were joined together in matrimony in Transtiguration rehurch, on the loth Of this month, During the performance of the ceremony Bvon- istawa fainted and she was taken to ber nusbana’s home, 8 Bayard sirect, almost insensible. soon after her arrival the unwilling bride suddenly jumped and made an attack on her quondam spouse ‘with @ stiletto, when he attempted to embrace her, and ran out ofthe aouse, She made her way toa {riend’s domicile, Mr. Julius Petrokowski, and there remainea till Wednesday. In the meantime the husband went to his mother-in-law and made his complaint; hence the action against tne music professor for abuuction. sndge Scott in- formed the mother and the girl's stepfather, Julius Gorski, that he could do notoing in the matter, as the yonng lady was old enough to decide tor her- seif Where she should live. le also asked why the husband did not appear in the case, as he was to all intents and porposes most directly interested, Antonio Silskowskl, the discarded hn the back part of the court room, but did not ap- proach the Judge's seat. ‘he case was accordingly dismiased, SUICIDE BY HANGING, Yesterday afiernoon Jacob Moever, a German, fifty-two years of age, was found hanging to a rafter in the attic of his premises, 286 Stanton street, by means of a rope which he had securea for the pure pose, The Hoay was coid When discovered and cut down, and life evidentiy had veen extinct for some ume.

THE COTTON MOVEMENT. ‘The receipts of cotton at all the ports for the past week were 88,966 bales, againat 86,236 ine previous week, The total receipis since September 1, 1871, are 2,091,196 bales, against 2,653,339 for correspond- ing period of the previous year, showing a decrease im the present crop of 563,143 bales, The exports from all ports jor the week were 76,459 bales, against 75,185 bales for the same week last year. The total exports for the expired portion of the cotton year are 1,152,074 bales, against 1,576,333 bales for the same time last year, The stock at all the ports is 569,939 bales, against 709,083 for the same date in 1871. THE BANK STATEMENT. ‘The weekly statement of the associated oanks ts very unfavorable, owing to a targe reduction in both their specie and legal tender reserves, The specie has fallen another million, and a half under the steady influx of gold into whe ‘Ireasury for pay- ment of custom duties, while the greenbacks are down nearly a million dollars, in consequence chiefly of speculative manipulation, although a large pro- Portion of the loss in this item can be fairly attri- buted to the shipment of currency to the out-of-town banks, much of it going to the Soath, where, under the more orderly relations of capital and labor gtadnally established since the close of the war, the planting of the annual cotton crop 1s beginning to be an influence upon our money market, much the Same as the movement of the crop itself, This is an enurély new element in our monetary situation, for with the system of slavery before the war, the planting of the crop involved no avy initiative outlay to laborers, and with the five or six years succeeding the war capital and labor went shares in the product of the plantation. Hence the cotton crop made money active only when it started to leave the plantation for the river and seaport towns, But withia a year or so the rela- tions between the cotton growers and the colored laborers have changed, and are now practically the same as those which exist between the farmer and his “hands.’? To set this great labor machine in operation generally ior the first time a great deal of money 13 required; and inquiry at the banks shows that tne Southern banks are drawing heavily on their New York deposits. The loss in deposits for the week 1s over three and a quarter millions, and is, doubtiess, a rising average for the reason that the loans show a contraction of only half @ million, whereas a statement of to-day’s aggregate loans would provably show a decrease of over a million as compared with last Saturday, With this allowance the several items are reconciled to each other and the statement explained even without crediting the stock cliques with interference. The statement contrasts with its predecessor as foi- lows :— Feb. 10. Fev, 17. Loans 285,422, 200 $284,911,300 Specie 21,272,300 19,589,400 Circulauon. 28,161,700 149,200 Deposits... 221,019,500 217,697,200 Legal tenders 46,626, 100 45,620,300 ‘The changes being as fo!lows:— Decrease in loans. Decrease in specie, Decrease in circulation Decrease in deposits, Decrease in legal tenders Ananalysis of the above shows that the loss of reserve has been $2,678,700, against a decrease of only $3,334,800 in liabilities, The surplus reserve 13, therefore, further impaired this week to tne extent Of $1,845,000, and is now reduced to $3,748, 100. MONBY EASY. Money was easy at 6 per cent among the stock brokers, and at 5 a 6 per cent among the govern- ment dealers, These were the rates for the real business of the day. After half-past two o'clock there was a pressure to lend and rates became nomi- nal, transactions occurring, it 1s sald, at as low as 2 per cent, ‘ . Prime paper was unchanged in quotation, but not 80 active. Foreign exchange was steady and rates remained the same as previously quoted. GOVERNMENTS DULL AND LOWER.
