McKinney was elected Col- lector of Taxes for the town of Flatbush, and in the month of January, of the same year (which was, ofcourse, previous to the election), the Leg- islature extended the terms of office of the Col- lectors of all countytowns three years, The act took effect on the 22d of April. Peter Williamson claimed that on the 4tn of Aj A 1871 Ao hecrd after- in Mo! ‘Wards), he was elected Collect nye ace, having received 15 votes, aud subsequent! e Ob- tained a temporary injunction from Judge Gilbert, of the Supreme Court, restraining the Supervisors from giving the tax book to McKinney, alleging that act of the Legisiature was unconstitu- tional. Judge Gilvert afterwards dissolved the in- Junction and McKinney continued in the discharge of his duties, Wiliiamson then brought a quo war- ranto suit and Judge Gilbert again decided against An appeal was taken to the General Term, which convened in Poughkeepsie in May last.

STOCKS HIGHER AND STRON The Reformatory Measures of tho New Erie Board. Revival of Old Gossip About New York Central. WAL STReRr, } Tonspay, July 16—6 P.M. On ‘Change to-day wheat was quiot and four active and firm. The cotton market was heavy. MONEY THRE PER CENT. Money was easier, and the closing dealings were at three per cent, with more offered at the same rate. Earlier in the day some borrowers paid four per cent on stocks, and @ number of renewals wero made at that igure. The banks and private. bank- ers are abundantly supplied with money from out of town depositors, and, as indicated in the bank statement on Saturday, there isa steady influx of money, chiefly natiunal bank notes, from the out of town banks, which threatens to create the USUAL SUMMER GLUT of paper money at this centre. Tho effect of this Increased supply is witnessed in the lower ruling of rates on call yesterday and to-day. Prime papor is quoted 5 a 7 per cent discount, Foreign ex- change was not so firm, In the first place the a vance in gold checks the buying of bills, and sec- ondly serves to make a better supply of commer- cial bills. The weakness, if the change amounted to so much, was more perceptible in sixty-day than in sight sterling, and is attributable also to more ACTIVE MONEY IN LONDON, consequent upon the introduction of the new French loan, particulars of which ought to reach us by the cable this evening. The amount marketed is said to be 600,000 francs at 82 per cent, equivalent to about £17,000,000, @ sum that ought not to oocasion any prolonged ac- tivity or disturbance of the money market in so wealthy a place as London. Still, the Bank of Eng- land lost heavily last weck and continues to lose, inspiring a belief that THE DISCOUNT RATR may be raised next Thursday. So fargs our bonds are concerned they were steady on the other side allday, but dull, which latter they would be nat- urally pending the diversion of attention to the new French loan, Sixty-day bills were freely of- fered at 109%, and cannot be quoted at better than 109% a 100%, while sight sterling was only steady atthe quotation 110% a 1103. There ts furtber- more good evidence that some small amounts of new railway loans have been recently negotiated in Europe. GOLD STRONG—114%¢ A 11456. ‘The gold market was strong, and advanced two points more—viz., from 11434 to 1145;, closing quiet and steady at 11434, which was 80 exactly the final quotation that it was the asking price “regular way,” and the bid price “buyer three.” There was not much doing at the advance, the pool seeming to content themselves with their forenoon work of putting the figure up @ quarter, and then quietly supporting the market at 11434, keeping their SCOUTS WATOHING the smaller operators and dealers, and noting care- fully the temper of the outsiders and the street and public generally. There is no doubt that more strength would have been developed to-day had the steamer taken out specie and the engagements for to-morrow been larger. In explanation it was said that to-day’s steamer was not liked by shippers, and that the Cunarders demand too much freightage charge for specie consignments. As {tis THE ENGAGEMENTS for to-morrow foot up $858,000, of which $550,000 is gold, The Sub-Treasury paid out $225,000 on ac- count of interest and $37,000 on account of redeemed five-twenties of 1862, The course of the market is shown in the table:— GOLD FLUOTUATIONS, 10A.M.. + 114% 1 P.M. oe 114% 10:51 A.

The foreign quotations for our bonds being no lower, and gold having advanced % a 34 per cent, the government list improved in tne same propor- tion as the gold market, although business was dull and transactions were confined chiefly to small deal- ings at the counter.

The Ten- nesseos were only steady, Virginia consols and North Carolinas were lower, and the South Caro- lnas weak at a considerable decline, the July issues having fallen to 27%. The market was at the same time quite dull, it being dificult to get any close quotations for other bonds on the list than those above referred to. The following were the CLOSING PRIORS.

STOCKS DULL AND STRONG, ‘The stock market continued very dull, and was only relieved from utter stagnation by the coinci- dent activity in Erie, Paciflo Mail and Northwest- ern—a trio of stocks to which the business of the sumuner so far has been chiefly confined. An im- provement in Erie had the effect of communicating strength generally, especially as it was fully rival- lea,by an advance in Pacific Mail. The better feel- ingin Erie was due to the important mfeasures adopted by THE NEW ERIE BOARD of Directors at their moeting this afternoon. The proposed abrogation of the scandalous contracts, by which the railroad was made the instrument of enriching corporations organized or controlled by the late Erle Ring, was the most important of these measurés as atfects the price of stock, and ifs sug- gestion, as well as all the good intentions expressed to-day bY the new board in their resolutions, would have had more influence did not the fact underiie all that ‘the present administration of Erte was the selection of the ATLANTIO AND GREAT WESTERN party, whose interests cannot bein human nature secondary to those of the Erie road. This is tho cloud which overshadows Erle, despite the excel- lent material in the new direction. We give in an’ adjoining column a faithful and detailed account of all that was done at this interesting meeting, tho proceedings of which will doubtless be read with avidity on both sides of the Atlantic. The advance in the stock was about one per cent as compared with the average price of the previous day. The rise in Pacific Mail for to-day was nearly as much, and excited considerable curiosity as to its cause, the fact being generally known that THE PACIFIC MAIL CLIQUE were not doing anything of qgny extent, and were rather disposed to await the return of the fall ac- tivity before resuming operations. The story about afurther stock dividend on New York Central to raise the capital to $100,000,000 was revived, the additional stock to be awarded to present stock- holders and marked fully paid for a consider- ation of only 40 per cent cash. On the other hand came the discouraging report that within three days the road would be in the hands of the Sheriff unless the tax due the government on the scrip dividend was bythe end of that time duly liqui- dated.

The New York Raldge Company has progressed ig their enterprise to the point of commencing the erection of the stone work on the tower above high water mark on this side of the East river, at the Place where it was left off when the caisson wae sunk to its permanent location. Monday afternoon, at one o’clock, a body of masons commenced te labor at this branch of the great work, and it is the intention of the engineers to prosecute it vigor- ously and lose no time in having Brooklyn and this city connected by a wire cable roadway, which will be in fact when completed one of the greatest em- gineering successes of the time. This week will see the last of the work under water finished. There only remains aspace of six or seven cubic yards now to be filled up at the foundation, and the two _ open shafta, eight feet in diameter, used for communication from the surface are to be at once closed up and made so!id like the surrounding atrue- ture. The air-pumping machinery. consisting of thirteen engines, each of twenty-horse power, are to be removed withont delay, their services being no longer required. The two large engines om ployed for holating the débris from the bottom of the river were removed on Saturday last, All thas will be retained 1s the machinery for hoisting ana handling the material to be used for building the tower. The wharves are to be immediately cleare@ and arranged for the rapid prosecution of the ma son work. Derricks are to be placed in position, car tracks laid, and the most expeditious means adopted for landing ‘the granite as it arrives from the coast of Maine. The Brooklyn bridge is now im a fair way towards completion, THE TOWERS. Now that the New York tower is about to rise above tho waters of the Kast River the people of the twe cites will aoguize increased confidence in the e1 realization of a work considered essential to the! mutual prosperity, The tower on the Brooklyn side has reached the height of 105 feet above ‘hi water mark and rests upon a solid founda‘ion, work has made more progress there owing to de- lays in obtaining possession of the property at the foot of Rosseveit street, and also on account of the directors not wisiing to incur the expense of duplt- cating the machinery required in sinking the cats- sons, At a point filteen feet above the present height of the tower in Brooklyn will be the level of the road bed of the bridge, and from this upwards will be erected a structure 150 feet high of solid masonry, divided into three columns and twe arched openings, The wire cables are to run ever the columns and be stretched at a point 120 feet above the water. The same arrangement will exist on the New York side, To such of tho general. public. as might ti ch of the general public as mi imagine that an inconsiderable aoune of work ioe eae been done on the New York tower, Mr. Roebling, the Chief Kugincer, states that the quantity ot masonry and concrete laid on the foundation under water {s equal to the entire masonry of the Bro@k- lyn tower visible to-day above the water line, clive operations were commenced late in Pecem- ber in the way of excavations at the bed of the river. Inthe month of May, before a henna ned foundation was reached at a depth of seventy-eight feet below mean high water, the borings had been confined only to the small area covered by the old Pier 20, but were extended over the remaining por- tion of the foundation as soon as the aiijacent ferry Blips were vacated. The results showed an extreme difference in the level of the bed rock of twelve feet, the howe of the least depth touching rock at eighty feet below high water, and the deepest at ninety- two feet. The immediate river’ bed consisted of legs and loose dock stones followed by a sticky black clay, Next came giavel and quicksand, the latter varying from fifteen to aay feet, until the solid or réck ioundation was reached, THE CAISSON. In September last the caisson was towed from the Atlantic basin to its final resting place. While at the basin seven. additional courses of timber and concrete had been built upon it, All the after seams were caulked and protected by felt, tin and creosoted sheating. The various pipes, shafts and locks were also carried up the necessary height. When the caisson was brought over it was twelve feet thick on which ten feet of woodwork, as stated, ‘was afterwards built. Under it was a chamber tem feet high, making the entire height thirty-four feet, It contuins twenty-two feet of timber as solid as ship carpenters’ tools can make It, above the roof of the air chamber, seven courses more than the Brook- lyn calsson. It is twice as strong as its Brookiya brother, Atadepth of seventy-eight feet and @ load on its back of 55,000 tons, not the slightest sigm ot-weakness has been discovered. In this connec- tion it may be remarked that there is nothing bet- ter established in engineering than the durability of wood under water. It is removed from the action of air, and, unlike stone, is not subject to disinte- gration, THE FILLING IN,” But now the air chamber {s filled with matertat that will stand the test of centuries. Hydraulic cement, composed chiefly of sand and gravel, to gether With stones, have been crowded into the space, which is 172 feet long by 102 wide and nine feet high. The concrete for fliling the chanber was all mixed above and let down through the supply shaits, ready for distribution below, No brick pil- lara were used, a8 under the Brooklyn caisson, the bearings of the frames being so wide as to be equal to all contingencies when once uniformly packed under with concrete, The stones, earth and sand leit in the caisson during the sinking were sufficien® to fill one-third of the space, At one time thei were four gangs of men, sixty each, employs under water, Yesterday the number 60 engaged ‘was only three men, and their work will be closed up to-morrow or alter. DEATHS AMONG THE LABORERS. The deaths that have occurred among the laborera engaged at work in the caisson have been fre- quently referred to by the press, As many as 600 men have been employed at one time, and out of this number, in the course of seven months, five died. The effects of the compressed air on the men, it was known at first, would be serious, and only a few hours labor were required to be per- formed. A physician was engayed and medical remedies kept at. hand to be used iu case of necea- sity. Itis claimed by the engineers, Colonel Paine and Mr. Collingwood, who superintended the work beiow, that only in two instances was death caused by the pressure, but enough is known to make it certain that persons hot possessing sound constitutions were exposed to imminent dan- wer whiie working under water. Scarcely any man escaped without being some- wiiat affected by intense pains in his limbs or bones, or by a temporary paralysis of arms and legs; but they all got over it, either by suttering fora few days outside or by applying the risky mode of re- turning into the caisson at once as svon as the pains manifested theinselves. All this is now over, and the very remarkable matter of men working forty feet under the bottom of the river will totu cease before the week closes. Ordinary street a8, Mmanuiactured on the wharf, was used for umination, and an ingenious mechanical tele- graph, contrived be! Colonel Paine, proved of great assistance in keeping up communication between the upper and lower world. The masons, who com- menced work on Monday, will lay four feet of granite each week over the entire tower, It will be 120 feet high exclusive of superstructure. VANDERBILT'S BROTHER-IN-LAW INDIOTED. Crawford’s Shooting at Henderson, the Detective—Indictment Found Against Him—He Is To Be Tried at General Sessions for Assault With In. tent to Kill, The Grand Jury yesterday had under considera- tion the case of Robert L. Crawford, brother-in-law of Commodore Vanderbilt. It will be remembered that Crawford, on the night of the 26th of May, dis- charged a pistol at Detective William Henderson, of the Fifteenth precinct, in the course of a quarrel arising out of a dimculty consequent upon the arrest of Commodore Vanderbilt’s colored coach- man for @ supposed assault upon a white woman. An alarm was given to the police by some citi- zens on the night im question, 4} bn | them that Mr. Vanderbilt's coachman had dr: @ woman into the stables in Waverley place, she @creaming and resisting with all her might The coachman was arrested and taken to the teenth Precinct Station House, in Mercer street, Mr. Robert L. Crawford went round to the police station and demanded the coachman’s release in rather a boisterous manner. By direction of Cap- tain Byrnes, Crawford was expelled from the station house by Detective Henderson. A few minutes afterward Henderson also went out, He was met on the corner of See street and Mercer by Craw- ford, who at once produced a pistol, and, polating it at the police oMicer, called to Mr. Albert Guerin, of No.4 Citnton piace, who happened to be passing at the time, saying— “WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE MF KILI, THIS FELLOW."” Henderson, seeing his danger, jumped at and grappled with Crawiord. ‘They rolled over on the Sidewalk, and while both were Codi (op on the ground trawford shot Henderson through the thigh. The ball after passing through Henderson's leg entered the knee of Mr. Guerin, who was stilt standing near. Henderson lingered for several week: nt finally recovered, and yesterday ap- peared to testify before the Grand Jury, The other witnesses were Mr, Albert Guerin and Sergeant Mevlintock, of the Fifteenth precinet. The Grand Jury came {nto court at two o'clock, aud presented an Indictment against Orawiord, charging him with felonious assault on William Henderson, with intent to kill the said Henderson, It 1s probabie that the case will be tried toward the end of the term. Shortly before twelve o'clock ‘bn Monday night Philly Gertner, & German, thirty-two years of age, who is believed to have been “insane, while in the hallway of the tenement hove 1,128 Second ave- nue, committed ee by yuooting himself in the mouth with @ heavil: Yed pistol.
