8 THE TURF IN ENGLAND, este! Close of the Flat Rac- ing Season. The Warwick Mecting—The Guy Cup—The Great Autamn Welter Cup—The Great Mid- land Counties Handicap—The Leaming- ton Grand Annual Steeplechase—Pro- posed Visit of Sir George Chet- wynd to Egypt—The Raid On the Betting Clubs. Lonpon, Nov. 23, 1872, The English flat racing season was brought to a close yesterday at Warwick, and from the present time until the week which includes the 15th of March it will be unlawful, according to the regula- tions of the Jockey Ciub, to run horses on the flat. The meeting at Warwick is always a highly popular @he, and usually attracts not only a very large company, but a great body of horses, all those that took part in the sport at Shrewsbury coming over here to pick up, if possible, something towards their Winter’s “keep.” As a rule the racing is not of a very high order, and the animals that go to the post are generally of the medium handicap charac. ter; but there were one or two events well worthy of notice. There has been an immense quantity of rain lately, and the course was in a terrible state, many parts of it being covered with great sheets of water, through which the horses splashed their way, to the total up- setting of all public form. As usual, the meet- ing was a great one for the professional bet- ling men and a most disastrous one for the back- ers, The first event which calls for remark was the Guy Cup—called after the great Guy of Warwick— which brought out a field of good handicap ani- mals, The following is a summary :— ‘The Guy Cur (handicap), Value 150 sovs., by sub- scription of 10 sovs, each, 5 forfeit, with 50 added (surplus to the winner), for three-year-olds and upwards; winners extra, Five furlongs. 82 subs.

It was with difficulty that the starter got them, and when the fag fell it was to one of the worst starts ever seen, Jock of Oran obtaining an advan- tage of at least twenty lengths of everything else, the nearest of the others being Festival, Pitchfork, Flying Childers, Belisarius and Night Star. Some ofthese got nearer the leader as they went on; but still when they got into the straight Jock of Oran was ten lengths in advance of Festival, Meleurge and Night Star. This last soon beat the other two, but with all his efforts he could not catch Jock, who won easily by four lengths, three- quarters of a length between second and third. Objections were afterwards lodged by Prince Batthyany, Mr. Chaplin and Mr, Gretton against the winner on the ground of a flying start; but when the case had been heard by Lord Aylesford and Mr. Gerard Stuart, M. P., they connrmed the verdict of the judge, The great Autumn Welter Cup brought out a bet- ter field, including many celebrities, such as Cock ofthe Walk, Vanderdecken, winner of the Liver- poo! Cup; Whinyard, winner of the same race jast year; Moonraker, winner of the Column Handicap at Shrewsbury last week, and others, The follow- ing is a summar: THE GREAT AUTUMN WELTER CUP of 200 sovs. (rest dn specie), by subscription of 20 sovs. each, 10 for- feit, and 5 only if deciared; winners extra; proles- sionals 6 lbs, extra, One mile, 37 subs, 12 of whom declared. .

The lead was at once taken by Witchcraft, the Nearest of the others being Cock of the Walk, Whinyard and St. Peter, while the last lot were Cocoa Nut, Moonraker and Vanderdecken. When they bad gone a quarter of a mile Whinyard weot to the front, attended by Cock of the Walk, Peter, Crown Prince and Witchcraft, and little change occurred in this order until they got within five furiongs of home, when Vanderdecken ran up to the ieaders, Moonraker accompanying him, At the hali-mile post the running was taken up by St. Peter, close up with him being Cock of the Walk, Whinyard, Witchcrait and Vanderdecken. As they crossed the road this last dashed past Whinyard and Witcheraft, but could never reach the two leaders, of whom Cock of the Walk went to the front outside the distance and won by a length, a head between second and third. Cock of the Walk is an ald patched-up horse, and he finished his racing career by breaking down as soon as he had passed the post, but not before doing a good turn for Mr. Brayley, who has not been very fortunate for some time past. The feature of the race was the fine Tunuing of Vanderdecken, who was giving four years and thirty-three pounds to the winuer and thirty-eight pounds to the second, a feat which, taken in conjunction with his Liverpool Cup vie- tory, proves him to be one wf the best handicap horses of the time. ‘The great Midiand Counties Wandicap is always @race of consideravie impurtance, and on this oe- casion brought out some excellent animals. Among them, it will be seen, was again Vander- decken, who once more distinguished himself; Shannon, winner of the Goodwood Cup from Mor- timer and Favonins two years ago; Indian Ocean, ‘winner of the Shrewsbury Cup and Severn Cup last week; and Barmston, who ran third for the Liverpooi Cup and again for the Shrewsbury Cup.

Enfield was the first to show in advance, followed by Dr. Temple and Merevale, with Barmston close =p, but the iavorite soon took the lead. Going up the hill, Enfield again ran up to hin, and behind the hill he was joined by Indian Ocean and Vander- decken, the latter of whom shortly afterwards went to the front, the next being Indian Ocean, Jarpac, Merevale and Shannon, while Enfeld dropped away beaten. alfa wile from home Shannon was in dificuities, and entering the straight Vanderdecken held a slight advantage of Indian Ocean, Merevale and Jarnac, The race now appeared to be at the mercy of the Liverpool cup winner, but he succumbed at jast under his Aeavy weight, apd Merevaie catching lio wside ececeoco co co ow He | highest bid upon her was $45,000, by Daniel W.

THE PRINCIPAL STEEPLECHASE of the meeting was the Leamington Grand Annual, which brought out two or three good “jumpers” and led to @ moxi exciting race between two stable companions, one of Whom was not backed for a shiiling, and yet very nearly succeeded in beating the other‘ wie was heavily backed, ‘The following is a summary :— THE LEAMINGTON GRAND ANNUAL HANDICAP STEEPLECHASE Of 20 sovs. each, 10 forfeit and 3 only if declared, with 200 added; winners extra; the second saved his stake; four miles; 39 subs, 26 of whom.declared, Mr. H.

On going out of signt the second time the pace was improved, and on reappearing they were lying abreast, Hybla was beaten hali a mile from home, and New York retired immediately afterwards. M1, Chapiin’s pair had then the race to themselves, and in the ordinary course Snow- storm, the backed one, would have been allowed to canter it, but 1t was only after a tremendous strug- gle that he beat Ryshworth by a head. VISIT OF SIR GEORGE CHETWYND TO EGYPT, Sir George Chetwynd and his wife (formerly the Marchioness of Hastings) propose to spend the Winter in Kgypt, and wiil take with them two or three horses, including Countryman, and a jockey, Jeffery. ‘they had better be warned to piay, in racing, second fiddle to the Khedive, who 1s dread- rally chagrined when beaten, and Countryman is such a really good horse that it will be diilicult to ata tus beating the halfbreds and Arabs he is Kel? to meet on the sandy courses of the ancient land, THE POLICE RAID ON BETTING CLUBS, The prosecution of the betting men who were captured yesterday week by a large force of police at the Alliance and other so-called c!uns is going on while I write; but it is understood that in the event of a conviction an appeal will be lodged in the Court of Queen’s Bench, on the ground that the places entered were properly constituted clubs, English Racing Notes.

A continuation of the pecullar economy followed by the Naval Department of the government took place in the Navy Yard at Brooklyn yesterday afternoon. Two dismantled ships of war and a vast amount of cables, ropes, chains, anchors, tar- paulins and other articles of ship furniture were sold by the auctioneers, Measrs, J. Draper & Com- pany, under the hammer. THE WEATHER WAS BITTERLY COLD and the wind blew briskly from Wallabout Bay and pierced the thickest overcoat to the very marrow of one’s bones, The Navy Yard looked very lonely and idle. There was very little indication of any work being performed, and only a few laborers were visible. The number now employed there 1s only about two hundred and fifty. The rest have been dischargea, At about twelve o’clock the sale was begun and was attended by quite a crowd of shipbuilders and owners, THE STEAMER GUERRIERE was first offered by the auctioneer. She was lying | close to the dock alongside of the Albany, almost opposite the point on the northern side of the bay. Her appearance all through her hulk is such as to indicate a sound condition, and the carpenter who bored her side asserts that she is not decayed at all, and is capable of being fitted up, with little trouble, 80 as to be @ first class man-of-war. Her Byles are a8 good as any in the service, and cost t bo: e at least $200,000, The cost of the hull is said to be about $200,000 beside. At the time she was puilt— in 186{—the white oak used in her construction could only be obtained green, and was much higher in value than now. She was launcied irom bos- ton, and in 1867 was the flagship of the South At- lantic fleet, In 1570 she was sent to the Mediter- ranean, where she met with several misfortunes, grounding once or twice on the coast oi Ituly, she returned WITH THE BODY OF ADMIRAL FARRAGUT, and before she reached her port was run ashore by her pilot off the coast of Massachusetts. It was found necessary to remove the remains on board her consort, the Richmond, on which they safely arrived. The repeated muladventures of the Guer- riere caused her to be mistrusted even alter slie was repaired by an iron Riots aloug her bul- Warks from stem to stern. She has now Jain at the Navy Yard for about seven months. Her dimen- sions and capacity are as follows:—Length on the spar deck, 330 feet; extreme breadth of beam, 46 feet; depth of hold, 28 feet 10 inches; tonnage, 2,469. Her engines had cylinders which are 60 inches in size, 36 inches of stroke and 2,000 horse power, back acting and connecting at right angles. | Her boats, anchors, chains (not made vy govern- ment) and other appurtenances were sold with her, and she was purchased by a Mr. Daniel Buh- ler, Who is rumored to represent the Peruvian gov- ernment, for $54,000, THE ALBANY is a smaller vessel oi the same character and built about the same time and with a similar degree of haste, She has, however, had a less eventtul career and is apparently in excelient condition, | She was launclied at Portsmouth. She is 302 feet and 2 inches long, 41 feet wide at the beam, 20 feet and 10 inches deep in the hold and her tonnage is 1,448. The engines are exactly similar in dimen- sions and strength to those of the Guerriere, The | Richards & Company. Both these saics were immediately telegraphed to Washington {for approval, which it seems, how- ever, very improbable that they will receive, as each of them cost $4,000. The other sales were of all manner of condemned | or superfluous articles, on which the sum rea- | lized was about $100.0 They took place in following degartments:—Those of construction, | steam engineering, yards and docks, ordnance and equipment. THE INWOOD STREET OPENING, Notice is given that the commissioners appointed for the opening and laying out ofa public park or drive northward from the southerly line of 15th street to the intersection of the Kingsbridge Road with a street known and designated on the map of | the Department of Public Parks as “Inwood street,” will sit on Wednesday and Thurs isth and 19th inst., at ten o'clock each day, at 52 Nassau street, to hear the proofs and aliegations of the | parties interested in or affected by the proceeding. | fo secure the progress and economy of the pro- | M ceeding the parties interested are requested to at- tend on the days Bamed, and submit their piovis and arenments, } | priation of extra cont.ngencies of the Comptroiie MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS. Supervisors, Aldermen and Assistant Aldermen in Session—The Board of Apportion- ment—The Comptroller's Pay- ments to Departments. Board of Assistant Aldermen. The Board of Assistant Aldermen met yesterday afternoon, only a quorum present. A resolution authorizing the Commissioner of Public Works to remove the sheds and stands on Vesey street was lost, Considerable discussion was had upon a resolu- tion, moved by Mr. Gers, instructing the Corpora- tion Counsel to proceed at once against the Ave- nue C Railroad Company for non-payment of license fees, Mr. Geis said that the time for send- ing resolutions of this sort to committees has passed, and he wanted the action of the Board in this case. ‘The railroad company was compelied, from. its charter, to pay the city $10,000 a year, and yet it had never paid the city a dollar. This had been going on for several years, and it was now time that the Board should institute proceedings. Mr. CONNOR Opposed this course, it was not known what was the position of the railroad com- pany toward the Board. He was unwiiling to think that the officer whose business it was to collect the fees had not attended to his duties, Mr, Gxis replied that that officer had done all he to collect the money, but had jailed, entually the resolution was lost by a vote of 9 er to 4, Mr. Krauss moved the adoption of an ordinance providing that the Permit Bureau be hereaiter unter the control of the Commissioner of Public Works, He explained that his reason for so doing was that this bureau should be conducted in a man- ner that would remove the disgrace that was now attached to it, Aldermen and Assistant Aldermen were being constantly spoken to 1n their wards about the unfairness with which the business of this office was conducted. One poor man would be charged five or ten dollars for a license which an- other man would get for one or two dollars, Mr. Geis said that he did uot think it was right to try to take the control of the Permit Bureau out of the hands of the Mayor. So many things of this sort had been already done that when Mr. Have- meyer came into office there would be scarce any- thing left for him todo. Of course the oot of Mr, Krauss’? motion was to transfer the Permit Bureau to the Commissioner of Public Works, 80 that Mr. Havemeyer could not controlit. It was @ well-known fact that from this bureau the receipts per annum amounted to $60,000 or $70,000, and yet only $2,000 or $3,000 was ever accounted for annu- ally. He therefore hoped that the motion would not prevail. ‘The motion was lost. Mr. Gxis, a8 Chairman of the Committee on Ordi- nances, handed a@ number of references from which the committee requested to be discharged, One of them was a resolution by which John H. Strahan and Abraham R, Lawrence would be ap- pointed to the duty of codifyig the ordinances, It Was moved vy Mr. Krauss that the name of John Hardy be substituted in place of that of Mr. Stra- han, as the former was an “older citizen.” The result of a lengthy discussion on this point was the ee of the motion on the table, {ter some routine business tne Board adjourned. Board of Aldermen. ‘The Board of Aldermen met yesterday afternoon, General Cochrane presiding. The joint special committee of the Common Council reported that the expenses for the Horace Greeley obsequies were as follows:—$850 to Ed- ward Van Ranst, $484 41 to George W. Roone, $175 to Adolph Le Mouth. The accompanying resolu- tion, directing the Comptroller to draw his war- rant for the above amounts, was unanimously adopted, The introdaction of aline of stages including Cortlandt street in the route was brought up by Mr. VANCE, in connection with a@ petition from property-owners in that street. Mr. Vance said that there were persons in the city willing to give $10,000 tor the privilege of running a line of stages that would include Cortland street in the route, and he thought the city might as well gain that amount as not. Mr, CONOVER threw some light upon this matter by showing that, so far from the persons alluded to by Mr. Vance having any sincere wish to run such aline of stages as that proposed, the fact was that they would be more inclined to pay $10,000 to prevent a franchise being given. He knew that one of the gentlemen to whom Mr. Vance referred was actually a large shareholder in the old Broadway and Second Street Stage Com- pany, now broken up, But that old company still possessed the franchise to run a line of stages in Cortlandt street, even though their stages had long ago ceased to run, and it was very unlikely that one of its largest shareholders would like to see a rival company. The subject finally was referred to a committee to ascertain whether the Common Council had | now the power to sell the franchise for Cortlandt street. A resolution authorizing the Comptroller to pay | $16,563 37 for materials and labor used in the re- constructing of the armory in Centre street was laid over, The Board then adjourned. Board ot Supervisors, The Board of Supervisors met yesterday after- noon in the chamber of the Board of Aldermen, President Cochrane presiding. The Committee on County Offices, through its chairman, Mr. Conover, reported in favor of pay- ing to John D. Tracy, Warden of the Ludlow Street Jail, for prison supplies for the months of Septem- ber and October, tue sum of $5,658, but the reso- lution was iaid over, The same committee recommended the payment to John PD. Tracy, for expenses of Ludlow Street Jail for the past eight months of the current year, the sum of $22,935 30. Mr. Faulkner objected to the adoption of this recommendation, contending that the vouchers ought to ve produced. Mr. Conover replied that he did not purpose running around to grocery stores to examine the accounts of the prison. Last year the expenses of the prison were cut down by about seven thousand dollars, and he assured the Board that this year the Com- mittee on County Offices had cut down the amount by even a larger sum. The resolution authorizing the Comptroller to draw his warrant in accordance with the committee's report was adopted, A resolution authorizing the Comptroller to pay $2,964 20 for the fitting up of the Seventy-ninth regiment Armory, in Twenty-third street, was adopted. ‘The Board then adjourned. Board of Apportionment. The Board of Apportionment met yesterday afternoon in the Comptroller’s rooms, Mayor Hall presiding, and Messrs, Green, Stebbins and Van Nort being present, The meeting was held in pursuance of a call to authorize the Comptroller to issue New York County Court House bonds to the amount of $250,000, and a resolution covering such authoriza- tion was the first matter for consideration, the resolution being immediately connected with the claim against the city by the Tenth National Bank. Ex-Judge Edwards was before the Board to ex- plain the present complexion of the litigation. Mayor Hall and Mr. Green exchanged views on the subject, the Mayor contending that it was only proper the bank should get a standing in Court, jor i! one man thinks another owes him money it 18 not right that obstacles should be thrown in the way of arriving at a fair decision as to whether or not the debt is due, Mr. Green did not, of course, see the matter in that light. Mayor Hali continued to say that for a bank to loan the city money was no unusual occurrence, this having occurred in old administrations within his memory—even loans of sums amounting to $2,000,000. The only ques- tion, the Mayor thought, was as to the good faith or otherwise of the bank in loaning the money. Mr. GREEN moved that consideration of the sub- ject be indefinitely postponed. On a vote being taken the amendment was iost—Mayor Hall and Mr, Van Nort voting against, and Messrs, Green and Stebbins in favor of it. The resolution was then put and negatived unanimously, Mr. GREEN saying, in voting, that he considered the resolution as aiding those who were litigants against the city, and Mayor Hatt reply- ing that he did not consider the resolution as affirmative aid to the city litigants, but that, in his duty as Mayor, he could not deny the bank the right to prove its claim if it had a claim, A resolution was adopted to the effect that the sum of $10,907 64 be appropriated from the con- Ungencies of the Comptrolier’s cilice to the county contingencies for the purpose ot ena | the bilis for extending and copying the tax books for the Year 1872, a8 appears by the audit of the Board of Supervisors upon the report of the Committee of Taxes and Finance, subject to the audit of the | Department of Finance, A resolution was also adepted, on motion of Mayor Hall, transterring $100,000 from the appro- | | a | office to the appropriation of “advertising fur the Common Council and departments,” in order to pay the claims of the oficial newspapers dunng tue year 1872, subject to the audit of the Finance Department. A resolution ounce by Mr. Green, to rescind and repeal all previous action of the Board of Ap portionment relative to increasing the salaries of officers, clerks and emplovés of the city and county | rhinents, the same to take effect from and Decemby 31, 1872, Was unanimously laia over, Comptroller GREEN promised to see that the sal- aries of the Judges of the Courts of Common Pieas and Superior Court would be paid promptly, and Mayor Hall did not, therefore, press @ resolution which included an appropriation of $16,000 to se- cure the judges’ salaries, Mayor HaLL announced thatatan early day he would propose that the excess of the excise moneys, a8 reported by the Excise Commissioners, should be distributed in an allowance of $6 per head on the average attendance at the schools Bamed in the report of the Commissioners, ‘The Board then adjourned, Payments by the Comptroller. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. Comptrolier Green paid yesterday the Depart- ment of Public Instruction the amounts due the teachers and employ¢s in all the schools to the 13th instant—$200,000, DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC PARKS. Comptroller Green paid yesterday the Depart- ment of Public Parks the balance of appropriation for the year 1872—$35,000, LABORERS. Comptroller Green paid yesterday, through Pay- master Moor Falls, the laborers on the Seventy- second street improvement to December 1—$6,700. The laborers on repairs to stone pavements will be paid to-day at four o'clock P. M., at the Comp- trolier’s Office, the wages due to December 1, TAMMANY TROUBLED.

Morris and Thomas Kerrigan, This report was unanimously adopted without discussion. THE COMMITTER OF TEN made a very long report, a synopsis of which is be- low :— The Fiftn Assembly district is utterly deficient in the elements necessary for a sound and trust- arta organization in consequence of their lax discipline, their faithlessness to the Tammany can- didates, their open barter of votes to secure the election of the nominees of Apollo Hall. ‘In the judg- ment of your committee,” says the report, “a large portion Of the delegates’ should be retired. In the inth district the investigation developed a state of feeling so insubordinate and discordant as to render it ineffectual. ‘There have been flagrant acts of treachery engendering such distrust among them as to make mutual _ co-opera- tion in future impossible. “In the Four- teenth Assembly district,’ says the report, “the committee discovered facts such as to con- | vince them of the necessity of a thorough and speedy reorganization. The present organization is weak and discordant, and there was a great want of fidelity to the nominees at the last elec- tion. The committee earnestly recommends the adoption of the following :— Resolved, That the whole subfect of discipline and organization of the Fourteenth Assembly district be aud ishereby referred to the Standing Committee on Or- ganization, with in tructions to report the same at the next meeting of the General Commattce. The report continue: In the Nineteenth district the committee found that large sums of money were paid by nominees of this organization to supporters ot the Apollo Hall can- didates for Mayor. This, the commitee alleve, was done with a knowlenge of certain members of the Nine- nth Assembly district aiion now holding ‘ommi Some of the delegation op. worked against the Tammany organization at the election, and used their intlience to deteat the regula candidates. An utter want of confidence and harmony had rendered the org: ion powerless for good, and only available tor mischiet and discord. In the Twenty- first district the committee found that no regular meet- ing of the delegation was ever held, that some of the delegation did not vote, and some of them acknowledged having no interest in the management of the district. The report closes with the tollowing resoiution :— Resolved, That the seats o1 the delezates from the Fifth, Ninth, Nineteenth and Twei first districts in this General Committee be and are hereby declared vacant, and that the said vacancies be referred to the Committee on Organization to report substitutes to fill the same at the next meeting of this committee. Assistant Alderman Isaac Robinson moved to table the report, but it was adopted by a large majority. he action of Tammany Hall last even- ing virtually gives the Fourteenth Assembly dis- trict to Sheriff Brennan, as the member of the com- mittee of that ward is Bernard Reilly, one of the Sheriff's deputies. LIBERAL REPUBLICAN MEETING, The Liberals in Council—They Are De- feated, but Not Dismayed—The Party Organization To Be Continued—Strong Resolutions Against the Grant Admin- istration and in Favor of Municipal Reform. The first meeting of the Liberal Republican Gen- eral Committee of this city since the late disas- trous defeat of the party which it represents was held at its rooms, 814 Broadway, last evening. There were some sixty in attendance. The meet- ing was called to order iy the President, Thomas E. Stewart, and after the usual routine business General John Cochrane, trom the Executive Com- Mittee, reported the tollowing resolutions, which were unanimously adopted :— Resolved, That, though the late election subjected our candidates to defeat, yet the prineiples which they resented survive; that having espoused in full the Cin. cinnati platform, we as fully adhere to it now; and that from among its principles an honest and economical ad- ministration of government, complete amnesty to politi- cal offenders, national purification, opposition to the umption of unconstitutional powers, antagonism to ntralization and the maintenance of the right of local selt-goverment, together with opposition to the eiection of a President to a second term ot office, havin stood conspicuously at issue in the late canvass with bot! the professions and praciice of the party in power, the determination ot the election does not seem to have materially changed their hostile attitude toward them; cially inthe licht of their eflorts in Louisiana and Alabama to oppress the authority of those States with the power of the Federal Courts, supported by the torce of federal troops; of their recent’ almost unbroken vote in Congress against a general amnesty to the South; of the pardon recently by the Executive of a signal pect tor in the public funds, and of their successtul exer ti to secure to the present incumbent a second Presiden ual term. Resolved, That we abjure the error involved, as we cause'in the Pre A personal preference of candidates, with devotion to a leader, whose cause w embodied, Our adversaries re: pose them, Dear as they have ti tinue to op. to us inthe adversity of defeat they are hallowed tous now by the death of their greatest champion, whose honored ‘memorial they will be forever. Resolved, That, seeing no diminished ne tion for our principles, we will continue o in General Committee and Assembly | tions, and so that we may the more ‘efliciently co-ope- | rate With the three and a quarter millions ot our bret ren engaged with us in the great work of ci Resolved, That whatever our political rel. mount duty requires that we should unremitt nth il reform ns, a para- i ly labor Interests of municipal retorm, to which we pledge tant efforts: that our citizens may rely upon th acy of the incoming city government in the work. o purification and retrenchment we hope and believe, We cannot, however, but suspect as no good augury the re- | nt appointment by an expiring democratic Mayor of ablican incumbents to oficial vacancies, made and filled ata time convenient and opportune, to be sure, to ‘igue, but most inconvenie the parties to the intri disastrous to a newly ele whose office will be ne: unhampered and unim- Paired, in the task of redr public abuses. Mr. VAN CLEFT, Chairman of the Executive Com, Mittee, then reported @ cali to the liberal repub- | lican electors of the city requiring them to meet in | their several districts on Friday evening, the 2;th | inst., to elect delegates to the General Committee, | to ineet on the 9th of January next, and officers of | the respective district aszdciations for the year | 1 nd moved its adoption. all increased the representation of those | 8 which have been less than six up to that | , and this vatied forth quite a lively debate. FosTER thought the representation should be upon the number ol voters, and character- Z the smaller districts as rotten boroughs, | whose only struggle in the late campaign had | been manifested at the primaries, where the dele- gates had been strong in electing themselves to omMicial position, General CocHRaNnge in response stated that it | was certain the liberal repulican party, though | distric numb M de: ed Was not annihilated, as its ene- would eventually see, The party was | based upon principle, and the fight upon | the issnes that had been made would be con- tinued in the interest of reform and good govern- ment. Owing, however, to the fusion during the late contest, which had formed a part of the Mechanism of the campaign, and in no way affected the principles upon which the party 18 based, the strength of the organization is not de- fued, and it Was thought to be impracticable to constitnte a representation based on the number of votes in the respective districts, An amendment to the call was rejected, and it was adopted as reported. ‘The position of the party towards the democrats Was made the subject of remark by several speakers, Mr. Green favored the organization of a new party, composed of all who were opposed to the administration and its principles, as he had little confidence in the strength o1 the liberal re- publicans as an organization. General Cocunans, in response, said he acknow- ledged sey were in an awkward position, as the under dog in a fight always is; but our principles remain. The late cam was not a@ mere per- sonal one. It is true expedients were adopted, but they in no wise affected our principles, which were fully endorsed by the democrats, and they having done so, no other arrangement is necessary. No men or body of men can make a party; this is the work of the Led Men of the same princi- ples will come together as do drops of water. Let us, 88 Consistency compels us, elevate our banners and march on, The General ‘evidently expressed the sentiments of the meeting, as his remarks were oak cheered, A vote of thanks was then tendered the oMicers of the committee and an ad- journment followed, GERMAN REPUBLICAN GENERAL COMMITTEE, Reunion and Banquet in Honor of the Recent Election Victories.

On the 14th of October last the Bank of Water- ford, Saratoga county, was robbed of $400,000 in bonds and railroad securities and $11,000 in money. The circumstances were fully detailed at the time.

Captain Irving at once despatched Detectives Rad- ford and Wooldridge to hunt up Brandon. He was arrested at five o’clock that afternoon, just as he was leaving his oltice in Broadway. About three o'clock yesterday afternoon Brandon was ar- raigned before Judge Dowling at the iombs Police Count and held for examination, The President of the bank, Mr. William Scott, and also the cashier, were pegranted. for by Su- perintendent Kelso, and they signilied their inten- tion in a return message of arriving in town last evening.
