Disenssion and Speculation as to the July Interest and Its Effect in Deferring the ‘‘Corner.” The Stock Market Depressed by the British Protest at Geneva.

Lighth National Bank. WALL STREFT, Monpay, June 17—6 P. M. On Change to-day wheat opened heavy, but under unfavorable advices from the West as to the crop of winter, became steady, Flour was dull and \weavy. Cotton was quiet and steady. MONEY EASY. The money market retained the same general features of ease and quiet. Strictly speaking the oiferings were rather more plentifal at five per cent, and new business on stocks was uniformly at that rate, but many lenders got six per cent in the way of renewals of loans where the borrowers were not disposed to make @ change or disturb their collate- Tais for the sake of the difference. Among the government dealers the rates were four and five per cent. A dividend of twenty-five per cent has been declared by the Comptroller of the Currency in favor of the creditors of THE EIGHTH NATIONAL BANK, payable on the 19th instant, making in all dividends tothe amount of fifty per cent. Dividends have recently been paid to the creditors of the Ocean National Bank of seventy per cent, and to credit- ers of the Union Square National Bank of one hun- dred per cent. 7 Prime paper was quoted 6a7 per cent discount for sixty day to four months, endoised. Foreign exchange was quiet and the rates settled by one firm, who asked 109% for sixty-day sterling and 110}, for sight bills, net in both cases, GOLD 113% a 114, Gold was dull and firm on the basis of 113% a 114, which was tue quotation nearly the whole day. The little “squeeze” towards the close of last week, while not fathered by the more prominent mem- bers of the clique, is supposed to have been accom- plished by some of their friends, who thought the pressure was about to be applied. Naturally there 18a good deal of speculation as to what the clique will do this week, the last in which they can ope- rate without interference from the Treasury gold, which will, doubtless, begin to come upon the mar- ket next Monday in prepayment of the July in- terest. Unless, therefore, the “squeeze” is at- tempted before Saturday night the “bears” feel encouraged to believe that nothing will be done until the July interest has been absorbed and is out | of the way. Last year THE SQUEEZE was made in August, when the borrowing rate was put up tol percent a day (for one day), and the price of gold advanced at the same time to 11534. Last year it was to be a one-man power that con- trolled the market, and produced so skilful a “cor- ner."" This year the speculation isin the hands of a powerful pool, long familiar with the devices and | man@uvres of the street. In the gold loan market e rate ranged from 3 per cent for carrying to fat fer borrowing. The operations of the Gold Ex- change Bank were as follows:—Gold cleared, $44,003,000; gold balances, $2,083,150; currency balances, $2,378,586. The Sub-Treasury paid out $290,000 on account of redeemed bonds, and $23,0000n account of interest. THE SPECIE MOVEMENT. The imports of specie at this port during the past week and since the beginning of the year have ‘been as follows :— ‘ ‘Total tor the week.

The government list was dull, but prices were a fraction higher and the tone of the market frm in sympathy with better quotations in London, where, ‘lespite the protest of Great Britain at the Geneva Conference, American national securities were 2 strong.

But the afternoon brought cable advices of a course on the -part of England which was interpreted to be a virtual rejection of the treaty by that Power, and as the London price of Erie also came much lower, precipitating a sharp downward movement in the price here, the whole list gave way, and the closing hour of business witnessed the lowest stage of the market reached in the reaction since the spring buoyancy. This reversal of the current overtook a fresh speculation in Quicksilver and turned it back between three and four per cent. Otherwise the feature was Erie, which in sympathy with the London decline referred to went off from 593, to 57. Boston, Hartford and Erie advanced from 77% to 8% on the discovery that the transfer books had been suddenly closed Friday evening, but reacted to 7%. Pacific mail was no exception to the weakness of the afternoon, not- withstanding an order of the Common Pleas dis- solving the injunction that was to restrain the company from cancelling 50 per cent of the share capital a8 authorized by law.

Charge of Bribery Against Keepers in Charge of Property Seized for the Gov- ernment—Important Decision. Before Judge Benedict. George A. Lawrence and Floyd Field were in- dicted in the United States Circuit Court for ac- cepting, as keepers of certain goods seized under the Internal Revenue law, a bribe of $100 to re- lease such goods. The indictment: was found under section 98 of the Revenue law of July 20, 1968, and section 62 of the Internal Revenue law of July 13, 1866. A motion was made to quash the indictment on the ground that persons placed by a seizure oiticer In charge of goods seized as forfeited for a violation of the Revenue law are not within the preimans of either of the laws re- ferred to, and therefore are not liable for punish- meut against them. In the course of a decision given eo, granting the motion to quash Judge Benedict says:- ly present opinion is that snch keepers are not within the scope of section 98 | of the act of 1868, under which the first count of this indictment is found. The operation of that section is confined by its terms to any ofiicer or agent ap- pointed and acting under the authority of any Rev- enue law. It speaks of a report in writing to his next superior oficer and to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. It provides, as part of the pun- ishment, that the offender shall be dismissed from ofiice. These words seem to me to indicate that the act was not intended to apply to keepers designated to maintain the custody of a procera, seized by a seizing ofiicer for a violation of the Internal Rev- enue law, Such keepers can hardly be said to be appointed under a Revenue law. They have no next superior officer, and dismissal from ojfice is not @ form of punishes adapted to such @ case, The indictment must therefore be quashed, General Batler in Court—The Alleged Seizure of the Steamer Nassau. Before Judge Shipman. The case of Henry A. Tilden against Benjaman F. Butler, in which the plaintiff! sues to recover $60,000 damages for the alleged illegal seizure, at New Orleans in 1862, of the steamer Nassau, was continued yesterday morning. Counsel for defendant reaffirmed their views of the case, that the assignment of Hunnewell’s claims as owner of the Nassau to Tilden, the plaintitf, was not, even admitting Hunnewell to have been the owner of the vessel when she was seized, such an assignment as did or could convey a right of ac- tion to Tilden. Counsel for plaintif’ contended that the assignment was valid as conveying a right of action, and cited numerous authorities to sustain his poe The Court admitted the assignment as evidence, saying that the case of Allaire against Whitney was conclusive as to its admissibility. The testimony of Samuel P. Griffin was read by plaintiff's counsel, to the effect that GriMin, after the seizure of the Nassau by General Butler, became, at the suggestion of Andrew Jackson Butler, the brother of General Butler, intereste ithe vessel, and that Andrew Jackson But- ler was owner of the steamer Nassau, and the Court, without directly talent | upon the ques- tion under consideration (the validity of the con- tricts), directed the witness to continue his testi- mony. He said that General Butler had told him that if he (witness) could make his recollection of the Nassau seizure agree with his (General Butler's) it would be of considerable interest to General But- ler, and witness would not lose anything by it. Much amusement was caused by the production and reading of letters between General Butler and the witness, in which the presentation of do; the witness to General Butler was spoken of, and comments made by General Butler upon the points of the dogs. The witness having written a letter to Butler asking him to use his influence with Secretary Stanton in witness’ behalf, General Butler asked him what that request referred to; the wit- ness replied that it was merely to save him from a court martial for striking an officer who had slan- dered General Butler, George Hunnewell, who claimed to own the Nas- sau when she was seized by General Butler, then testified that General Butler sent for him and asked him to sell the vessel, and on his declining threat- ened to seize her for the United States service; witness told the General he did not want to sell the vessel, but would charter her to to the government for as low a sum as $40 per day, when the General, using strong lauguage, said he would take the vessel for $28,000, and then called an orderly and directed the transfer of the vessel to be made at the Custom House, Case still on.

The Comptroller Held Responsible for an Execution Against the City. Before Judge Brady. John L. Brower vs. The Mayor, &c.—In January, 1871, a judgment was recovered against the city by the plaintiff for $5,600, The Comptroller failing to pay the judgment an execution was issued, and a levy threatened upon some of the fire apparatus belong- ing to the city, A stay was procured by the Corpora- tion Counsel against the Sherif. A motion was made by the plaintiff's counsel to set aside this stay. Judge Brady yesterday delivered an opinion in the case. It will be seen that he sets aside the stay of proceedings, and throws the responsibilities upon the Comptrolier. The following is THE OPINION. This motion would have been considered and passed upon within a few da: is submission but for the be- Hef, resting upon. rey ‘ partment, that the claim would be provided fo ‘The judument herein has not been appealed from or asawiléd in any respect, #0 far as Tam advised, and is, therefore, a just and established demand against the city, A levy upon the proverty of the Corporation of the city of | New York subject to execution to satisfy a valid judg- | mentis a proceeding much to be regretted,and should not fed'untexs the resotltces aud power of the Corpor: j ton throngh its various departments to provide for ita pay. ment are exhausted. The stay originally granted Ig based chiefly upon the act of 1871, which declares that | judgment shall be paid antess’ an appropriation has | been made for the same,” and which, Jf It have any legal force, ineans voluntarily paid by the'Comptroller. It has no other signification. What was the precise design of the Legislature isnot readily determined, but it may be said tthe chief object was to prevent the application of appropriations to subjects not embraced withi Ihasino relation to exeeutions, elther dcrectl plication, but it ithad itcould easily be shown to tirely nuxatory, as unconstitutional, and theretore Tt cannot. be well asserted th Legisia- ture has authority to pass laws staying the collec- tion of jndgments until an appropriation has becn made to pay them. It is not necessary, however, to consider that estion. Tt is sufficient for the’ purposes of this motion at the act referred to does not provide for a stay of exe- cution. Tt relates to voluntary payments as suggested au not to those forced by the process of the Courts, which a not only not voluntary, but necessary for the protection o the property of the city and matters of duty. I do not hesitate now to vacate the stay, and direct the Sheriff to proceed, Justified, as I am, in believing that the Judgment will not’be immediately paid.

Before Judge Larremore. decision Company.—The defendant's company was incorpo- rated in April, 1848, and by subsequent acts was authorized to increase its capital stock to $20,000,000. On May 11, 1872, an act was passed by the Legislature authorizing the reduction of the capital stock to $10,000,000 upon obtaining the writ- ten consent of the stockholders owning two-thirds of the stock, and to this end permission was given to cancel its shares so far as the same can be purchased at prices not ex- ceeding the par value, the shares so purchased to be retired and extinguished in reduction of the stock, and not to be issued again. Suit was brought by the plaintiff, a stockholder, to prevent the company from reducing their capital stock in compliance with the provisions of the act referred to, and a temporary injunction was obtained restraining the officers of the company from making such reduction in the manner specified in the act. Judge Larre- more, in a lengthy, able and exhaustive opinion, de- clded yesterday that the injunction could note sus- tained, He holds that there is nothing in the mov- ing papers upon which to forma reasonable pre- sumption of the present or future inability of the company to discharge its liabilities, A more appre- hension in this respect was not enough to warrant judicial interference. The Legislature, he further eld, had the right to modify the original charter, and its action was valid and binding upon the stock- holders unless {t should appear that such action was contrary to the fundamental laws of the State. He ordered a dissolution of the injunction. Decisions. Maurice vs. Dibbs.—Motion granted if moneys are deposited, ‘Traxell vs. Haynes.—Motion granted. memorandum for counsel. MARINE COURT.

Judge Spaulding, in response to the motion, referred to the rofessional and judicial career of the deceased jurist, and ordered that in respect to his memory the Court be ad- Journed to this morning, and that the calendar would remain the same a8 on Monday. The other Judges heartily agreed to the order, and the Court then adjourned till this morning. COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. Attempt to Rob a Bank Messenger of $25,000—Judge Bedford Sends the Thief to the State Prison for Five Year: Before City Judge Bedford. The first case of special interest to the public which was disposed of yesterday in this Court was the trial of a professional pickpocket, who gave his name as William C. Harrison. Henry H. Bull, the messenger of the Central National Bank of this city, testified that about ten minutes past two o’clock in the afternoon of the 25th of May he had just come out of the Bull’s Head Bank on Third avenue. He had in his pocketbook checks and bills amounting in the aggregate to $25,409, the property of the Central National Bank, and when he got on the platform of a car the prisoner and a party of men also entered the car. While standing at the door, the prisoner, who had ashawl or a piece of cloth over his arm, prongat itup against Mr. Bull’s pocket, pressed against him and attempted to take the pocketbook. The complainant felt him remove the pocketbook three inches from the bottom of the pocket and prevented him from taking it. They rode along several blocks, and when the prisoner and his friends left the car Mr. Bull followed them through a number of streets, and, although intimi- dated by the gang, he pursued them and finally ou larrison in the hallway of the Westminster lotel. Mr. Howe cross-examined the complaining wit- ness at great length, but no material alteration was made in the statement of the affair given upon his «direct examination. There were no other witnesses examined, and the accused did not go upon the stand. His coun- sel asked the Judge to charge the ‘jury that under the testimony they could only ‘convict of an attempt at grand larceny, which His Honor declined to do, but, on the contrary, instructed the jury that the Teast’ removal of property from the place where it was deposited was a suificient car- tying away to constitute a larceny, provided such removal was of a felonious character. The jury sees a verdict of guilty without ieaving their seat The District Attorney asked the Court to pass gh el promptly upon the verdict, because he jad reason to believe that the prisoner is an old offender and very experienced in that branch of business, The City Judge asked Harrison if he had ever been in the State Prison or the penieenHeres how lon he had been picking pockets, and if Is portrait was not in the Rogue’s Gallery, to all of which queries the prisoner answered in the ne; ative, and begged for leniency because he had a wife and two children, Judge Bedford, in passing sentencé, said :—The police tell me that you are a professional Papi oo aig and, like all professionai pickpockets, it Is only @ question of time as to when they will be arrested. You have been convicted to-day, and I shall send you to the State Prison, at hard labor, for five years, in order to protect banks from such thieves as you are, Another Garroter Sent to Sing Sing by City Judge Bedford for Fifteen Years. The next indictment which Assistant District Attorney Stewart presented for the consideration of the jury was one for the serious crime of reb- bery in the first degree. Tillman Boose, a young German, was the prisoner, and George Kumps the tthe who testified that he was a workman in Hoe’s printing press manufactory; that while returning from a wedding in company’ with some friends at two o'clock on Sunday morning he assed through Ludlow street; a young man named Emite Jerk, who was with him, was struck by Wheeler, a friend of the ances who then gave him (Kumps) a blow and took his silver watch, worth $28, from his poeket; he (the complainant) struck the prisoner in return and recovered pos- session of the watch; the chain was broken in the attack and @ piece of it was found after the assault. The complainant was cross-examined by Mr. Price and stated that he had been drinking wine, but was not drunk. Emile Jerk was examined through the Court in- terpreter, and testified that he saw the prisoner beating umps and tearing the watch from his pocket; that he (the witness) received a blow in the face, without seeing the man who gave It which rendered him unconsoious; that there had been no quarrel preceding the attack, and no pro- vocation given to the prisoner and his companion to asaanlt them. On cross-examination the witness said that after the fight wae over the prisoner asked for his hat, which the complainant refused to ave him, but he afterwards got it back in Court; neither Kumps or the witness had a club; the other defendant, Wheeler, was knocked down. Officer Fleming testified that he heard a cry for “Police,” and When he Tesched the socne oF the occurrence he saw the prisoner coming from the crowd and running without a hat. prisoner and brought him back to where the party were standing; at that time the prisoner would not admit that any of the hats were his, but on the following morning he picked out his hat. The defendant testified in his own behalf, stating that he was a silver gilder and worked for ten years for his brother in Boston, who lately went to Ku- rope; on the night in question he (Boos) and Wheeler were going along the street and the latter stumbled against the complainant's friend; blows were atruck by them, and afterwards the complain- ant struck him a blow, which he returned, Wheeler rot up, asked for his hat, and upon their eek give ithe ran aw: Then the party followe him (Boos) and commenced to pound him, and he ran. The accused denied taking the watch; said he was never arrested for any offence; had only been in New York six weeks, and had a marries sister in New sy ged by not aware that his trial was to take place that day, Louisa Leuh, the wife of one of the party who were assaulted by Boos and Wheeler, was called by the District Attorney. She said as soon as Emile Jerk was knocked down by Wheeler the ogre struck complainant; she called ior the pol sae = they came. The witness positively identifie a e accused, and sak that he and Wheeler came from behind a wagon, The ary rendered a verdict of guilty. Counsel bat 2 re the prisoner remanded, prove ood character. : Judge Bedford said that good character was of no avail in a case of garroting, and sentenced Boos to State Prison for fifteen years.

Indictments have been pending for many months in Paterson against ex-Chosen Freeholders Zebulon Sutton and William L. Thompson, and John J. Corco- ran and William 8. Yerberry, contractors, for obtaining money under false pretences from the county. They have been deferred from time to time, and, althongh set down peremptorily for June 17, the general impres- sion seemed to be that they would be still farther postponed, but upon being called yesterday morning Judi Barkalow would entertain no motion for further adjournment and ordered the trial to proceed. Ex-Chosen Freeholder Zebulon Sutton was first placed on trial, and his case was before the Court the whole day. Mayor Tuttle was employed by the one for the prosecution, while the defence was conducted by Messrs. John Hopper, G. M. Ward and Isaac Van Wagener. The indictment upon which Mr. Sutton’was tried yesterday (there are several indictments of a similar nature) was that of obtaining $112from the county ona bill tor work alleged to have been done by one John Gormley, and the money for which was drawn by Sutton on Gormley’s account. According to the evidei ve yesterday there was no such man as Gorm- ley, at least he had never done any work for the county, and the inference was that the work charged for, if ever done at all, was done by Sutton, and he paid for it, which wouid of itself be contrary to law, which prohibits officials from bein interestedg: in such thin The testimony yesterday was mostly confined to the facts of Sutton Rae. pre- sented the bill and drawn the money. The bill itseif had been endorsed as correct by Sutton and Thomp- son themselves, and upon their endorsement was: {t paid by the ollector, The testimony to prove that this money was fraudulently obtained is yet to be forthcoming, excepting the fact that no such work as charged for could be found. During the noon recess of the Courts the notes of Judge Barkalow were stolen, and there are said to be strong suspicions that some of the defendants in the case had a hand in their abstraction. ALMOST A MUBDER, About two weeks ago Teresa Smith, a girl only fourteen years of age, ram away from her parents at 64 Barrow street, and went to live in a house of ill-fame in Wooster street. Her parents instructed a young man named James A. Savage, re- siding in Clarke etreet, to hunt her up and bring her home. On Sunday night he met her in South Fifth avenue, in company with a young man named John Rockett, of 121 Bleecker street, and demanded he should deliver her up for the purpose of restoring her to her parents, Rockett, who was intoxicated at the time, refused to do as requested and abnsed Savage for interfering with her. Savage followed them ag far as Bleecker street, when he at- tempted to take the girl from him bed force ; but Rockett, determined not to be thwarted in this way, drew a seven-barrelled revoiver from bis pocket, and, bth d it at the head of Savage, fired one shot, the ball fortunately miss- ing its intended victim, and flattening out against the brick wall at his back. Oiticer O'Neill, of the Bighth precinct, hearing the firing, rushed across the street and seized the weapon as Rockett was in the act of firing the second shot. A desperate struggle ensued, during which the revol- ver was again discharged before the officer could wrest the pistol from the infariated man, He was finally conveyed to the station house, corner of Prince and Wooster streets, with the assistance of acitizen, and locked up for the balance of the night. Yesterday morning he was arraigned be- fore Justice Cox, at Jefferson Market, and claimed to have been intoxicated at the time of the shoot- ing, but was committed, in default of $2,000 bail, to appear for trial The girl was restored to her parents, where she is at present. DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA. Coroner Keenan was yesterday called to 163 East Seventy-third street, to hold an inquest on the body of George Walter Boyles, a lad twelve years and a half old, who died from hydrephobia. Some five weeks ago deceased stated that he had been bitten by a dog, but at the time little was thought of the circumstance. Subsequently George exhib- ited symptoms of hydrophobia, which increased in Violence up to the time of his death—on Sunday. During his illness deceased was attended by Dr. | Gregory, of Seventy-tirst street. afer !
