Of course, many other considerations might be urged in support of merging Westchester county into this city and county, and, now that the question of consolidation has been practically brought before the people by the action of prominent citizens in the case of the city of Brooklyn, the opportunity occurs for the people of Westchester to move in the matter of arraying themselves under the municipal gis of the metropolis.

Attorney General—A, F, Judd. THE ROYAL SPEECH. His Majesty King Lunalilo, upon taking the oath of office, made an address to the nobles and repre- sentatives, saying :— This is the first time in the history of this king- dom that the Legislative Assembly has been con- vened for the purpose of electing a sovereign. I tender you my thanks for the cordial unanimity and will which have characterized your proceed- ings. Before adverting to any considerations of duty or responsibility, it is becoming, as well as im accordance with the promptings of our hearts, to express our sorrow at the sudden death of the illustrious chief whose successor I am. The late King nad decided traits of character. He was en- terprising, labored to develop the resources of the country and extended his protecting hand to the Hawaiian people; he was just to all subjects, was very sensitive to the rights of Hawaiians, and de- sirous of promoting every project which would ad- vance their interests and increase their numbers, I sympathized deeply with the late King on the gradual diminution of the people, and I need no assurance irom you that all reasonable measures to prevent it will meet with your cordial approvale This nation presents a most interesting example in history of cordial co-operation of the native and foreign races in the administration of its goverument, and most happily, too, in all the relations of life there exists a feeling which every good man will strive to prcmote. The government may be said to enter upon a new era on the accession to the throne of every sovereign. It will be an earnest endeavor to sustain the character of the government inits good repute with other nations, and in this connecfion it becomes us to cherish a cardial recol- lection of my lamented predecessors as well as of the disinterested and patriotic men who aided them in enrolling this kingdom among the family of nations. It will be my en- deavor to sustain the character of the government transmitted to us. The commencement of my reign is auspicious. Our relations with foreign governments are of the most friendly character, and am satisfied will con- tinue so if we faithiully discharge our duty in conformity with the principles of justice and comity recognized among nations, At home there is peace and a reasonable prosperity, which it will be my earnest endeavor to promote. The islands are capable of a far higher improve- ment than they have ever enjoyed. They have capacity enough to make a kingdom which shall command the respect of other nations, as well as to give greater comfort and happiness to a far larger number of people. We are, fortunately, placed by nature on the great ocean highway of nations. The commerce of all oat should be attracted hither by the safety of our harbors, our abundant products, and liberal laws and the regulations of our rts. All legislation in future hav- ing in view the proper protection and promotion of our commercial relations shall meet with my heart concurrence. There are circumstances attending my accession which arouse within me a lively sense of gratitude to the whole people. They have tendered me roy- alty and their cordial support, and I accept the trust imposed upon me, feeling confidence ia the expression 80 spontaneously made. May the blessing of our Heavenly Father, without which there can be no permanent success, at- tend our efforts to promote the best interests of the government and people. The King then addressed the people to the same purport, and thanked them for the unanimity of voice with which they favor his accession to the throne. FUNERAL OF THE DEAD MONARCH. On the occasion of the late King’s funeral there was an imposing military and civic display by the native and foreign population. Bishop Willis officiated and the ceremonies were concluded with a royal salute and a requiem march. THE MODOCS. A Snow Storm Blocking General Gil- lem’s Advance—Captain Jack Said to Have No Desire to Meet the Peace Com- missioners. ~ SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4, 1873. A despatch from Yreka says that a tearful snow storm last night stopped the advance of General Gillem’s forces, but they expected to reach Van Bremer’s Hill to-night. Gillem says he has not yet determined where he will establish his heaaquar- ters—whetlter on the point or on Lest River. The General says he will make no move until he has conferred with Colonel Wheaton, All is quiet in the front, Stockades have been built in the settlers’ regions for defence. All the wounded in the late battle are at Fort Klamath, where they are doing weil, except Jerry Crooks, who cannot survive. It is thought at headquarters that Captain Jack will nold no cemmunication with the Peace Com- missioners. Captain Wright’s company, from Fort Gaston, had not been heard from. : GOAT ISLAND. Governor Booth’s Committee Report— Why the Island Must Not Be Ceded to the Central Pacific Railroad. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3, 1873, The Citizens’ Committee appointed at the recent public meeting, presided over by Governor Booth, to take all proper steps in opposition to the bill pending in the United States Senate ceding part of Goat Island to the Central Pacific Railroad, ask the Eastern press to give place to the following state- ment, viz. :— Mr. Stanfora’s argument before the Senate Mili- tary Committee, as reported here, is a marvel of plausible sophistication and disregard of known facts. He speaks of the company being thrust back 1,700 feet from the deep water line in Mission Bay, as if ee, water line” and “water front’? were convertible terms. The fact is that the com- pany’s land stretches ng the west side of Iili- nois street, and directly opposite to it, extendin, along the other side of the same street tor 1,! feet, lies the Central Basin of thirty-four acres area. Their land also fronts on Keutlicky street, and on the opposite side of the thtter street lies the great chia warm, With gt ares of forty-nine joni age opposite the company’s lan OF 1,000 leet more; 80 that the railroads have @ ‘on the two basins, only sepa- rontage of ARMIREA Me ata tha gto street, — , ‘The line of deep water soundings in the bay hi. nothing to do with the matter. mits busine Were \veserved for fd dpe and the company wants to owt the external street also, not so much to use it as 60 prevemt the approach of other railroads and &) Secure an absolute monopoly of the water front. .They cam have the privilege of laying rails and deliv:ing freight on the water frout streets ‘whenever tx¢y Will cofidescend to ask the Super- visers for it. \g{O ene Opposes it.

The ordinance as prepared by the company’s atiorney, {atroduced in the Kourd of Supervisors and passed to print, merely provided for the ar payment by the city to the company of $2,500,000, omitting the conditions to be performed by the latter in retarn. The amendment merely added the rest of the bargain and made its performance by the ratl- road @ condition of the payment. When so amended the company shutfied out of ot it. ‘The supposition is that they never intended to keep their engagement with the Citizens’ Com- Taittee, and therefore objected to vutting it in a binding form, Treasury—The Strategic Points for Resistance toa Naval Enemy To Be Changed—Russian Interests in the Engineering System. TELEGRAMS -TO THE WEW YORK HERALD. BERLIN, Feb. 4, 1873, His Excellency Prince Bismarck, exercising his function as Chancellor of the Empire, has sub- mitted a proposition to the German Federal Coun- cil for the appropriation of 9,000,000 thalers each for the erection and improvement of fortifications at Cologne, Koenigsberg, Wilhelmshaven, Kiel and Posen, GUARDING AGAINST A HOSTILE NAVAL DEMONSTRA- TION. The German Premier recommends, in other words, an expenditure of $35,000,000 for the de- fence of the coast against the tuture assault of any powerful naval enemy or of the feet of its allies. A New System of Defence Decided Upon and the Line of Fortifications Changed. The subject of an alteration of the strategio line of defence of the German Empire has engaged the anxious attention of Emperor William's Ministers and of the German Parliament since the close o1 the war with France. The conquest which Ger- many reaped from that great struggle in a large addition of new soil hss, indeed, rendered a fron- tier line of topographical and military engineering rectification absolutely necessary at the War Ofice in Berlin. The subject has not been neglected: The Committee of Fortification of the Empire of Germany decided a few weeks since on the meas- ures te be adopted for carrying out a new system of national defence. The main ieatures of the re- port are as follows:— The following fortresses are to be suppressed at an early moment:—Rastadt (Baden), Minden Westphalia), Erfurt (Thuringen), Wittemberg Saxony), Stettin and Colberg (Pomerania), Grau- denz (astern Prussia), and Neisse and Cosel, (oP The works wiil not be demolisned imme- diately, but the committee will no longer maintain those localities as iortifed towns. The cases of Neut-Brisach, Wurzburg-Custrin and Boyen (East- ern Prussia) remain uirder consideration. Schles- tadt, Litchtenberg, Lutzelstein, Marsal, Phals- burg, Bitche and ‘Dresden will be suppressed as fortitied Meee immediately. The piaces which are to e transformed according to the new system of fortifications are:—Metz, Die- denhoien, Strasburg, Vieux-Brisacn, Mayence, Cologne, Wesel, Glogau, Thora, Posen, and KOnigsberg. Bramberg, hitherto an open town, will become a fortress. The works for the aggrandisement of Metz and Strasburg are already commenced; those of Mayence will only be under- taken in the Spring of the present year. As will be seen by the above indications, the German plan of defence is concentrated on the western and eastern frontier and on the coast of the Baltic and North Seas. The Ministry will not ask tor any supplementary credit tor the works of fortification, the present junas being sufficient 1or those com- menced. At Mayence the expense will be pro- visionally met by the sale of ground. The cost of twenty-seven new field batteries will be eovered by the ordinary budget. A GREAT WORK OF NAVAL CANALIZATION. It is announced that the Prussian government has definitely decided upon the construction of a canal which is to connect together the North Sea and the Baltic, Plans of the works required have been already drawn up and @ commission com- posed of German engineers and superior oficers appointed to examine the plans on the spot, 80 a8 to make what alterations may be required, The members of the commission are expected at Kiel. Russia, it has been alleged, regards the project with considerable jealousy, a8 a means by which Prussian influence may be extended in the north of Europe. Evidently Kiel, which is the headquarters of the Imperial German fleet, is destined to assume great importance. .

The veput'es of the Extreme Left in the National Assembly assembled in meeting last night. An address was introducea expressing the sympathy of the republican members of the Assembly with General Garibaidi and protesting against the severe comments on his interference in the late war made by members of the Right in the same Debate. The address was at once signed by seventy of the Deputies present at the meeting. CAUCUS THANKS TO LEGISLATIVE FRIENDS. During the same meeting the deputies of the Extreme Left adopted a vote of thanks to M.

One Hundred Persons Frozen to Death in the Kingdom—The Severe Cold Abating—Coal Advanced in Price—Railway Securi- ties Depressed—Indictment Against an American Banker. § TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALS, Lonpon, Feb. 4, 1873, The weather the past three days has been in- tensely cold, and 100 persons were frozen to death to England during that time. By general report and personal experience in tho city this evening we learn that the excessive cold of the past few days is abating. It caused great dis treas in this and other cities, the poor being unpro vided against weather so unnatural in England. COAL ADVANCED IN PRICE, There has been another rise in the price of coal, which, this morning, sold at 48s. sterling per ton, and during the day advanced to 63s. Many fur- naces and mils have been compelled to suspend work, and the advance has served to flatten the market for English railway securities. BILL OF INDICTMENT AGAINST A BANKER, A true bill has been found in the Central Criminal Court of this city against Mr. Robert Bowles, charging him with misdemeanor in connection with certain securities deposited in tne Parisian banking house of Bowles Brothers & Co, His trial is expected to take place at an early day. THE COTTON SUPPLY, Five thousand eight hundred and eighty-one bales of American cotton were landed at Liverpool to-day. WALES. The Wages and Chinese Labor Question in the Collieries. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALB. Lonpoy, Feb, 4, 1873. The proprietors of several collierics in the South of Wales who have announced their intention to import Chinamen from California, to take the places of the men now on a strike, have received anonymous letters, threatening them with assas- sination should they carry out their design. THE FRENCH COOKS’ BALL A few years ago considerable comment and ex- citement were created in England by the state- ment that Jemmy Grimshaw, the celebrated jockey, paid a larger sum for the services of his valet yearly than the annual stipend of many a clergyman of the Church of England, Pious people held up their hands in holy horror at the growing depravity of the age, as evinced by this start- ling fact, and prophesied all sorts of calamities to the ungodly patrons of the turf who could sanction an amusement which was productive of such results. Not long since an announcement even more outrageous than the foregoing went the rounds of the press in this country. It was stated, on apparently the best authority, fhat the head cook of the Parker House, in Boston, commanded a larger salary yearly than the President of Harvard Uni- versity. This extraordinary announcement was doubted by a great many people at the time and found but few believers; but had these doubters been present at Irving Hall last evening their unbe- lief would have been sadly shaken by the spectacle which would have met their view. The occasion was the seventh annual ball of the French cooks, and the heart of the immortal Sam Weller himself would have been gratified by the brilliant triumph of Nigh life below stairs which the hall presented. The dinner of the flunkies in “Pickwick” was a grand affair, a rare effort of genius; but it needed Yankee enterprise to attain tothe full pinnacle of glory to which a party of upper servants can attain. On the opposite side of the street, the aristocracy of New York was rep- resented on the occasion of the Charity Ball. Beauty and rank lent their aid to the cause of be- nevolence and wealth joined in the noble work, but it ts to be doubted whether the ball at the Academy of Music could in many _ respects compare with the one at Irving fall. The costumes were not more brilliant, cer- tainly the enjoyment was not more keen, the dancing was not more artistic and the supper was not half se good. A stroll through the supper room at Irving Hall would delight the heart of an epicure and tickle the palate ofa gourmand. It is safe to make the assertion that only once a year in New York could such a ee array of viands be presented to the gaze of admiring gluttons in the city of New York—meats of rare and various kinds, pastries realizing the fabulous stories of the Arabian Nights, jellies which would set a nursery mad, an ocean of sweetmeats, in a wilderness of artificial evergreens, bonbons done up with true Parisian art, wines of the best vintage, and, to crown all, Pekan dic) was the pink of ‘politeness and reeding. It the spirit of Sam Weller could have revisited the scenes of his earthly pilgrimage his heart would have been made glad, and the benevolent Pickwick would have been deprived of the services of his faithful servant for at least a week.

MURDER AND SUICIDE. Two Throats Cut from Ear to Ear by the Same Hand in a Lodging Mouse in ; Bleecker Street Last Night. SCENE OF THE SLAUGHTER. Who and What the People are Supposed To Be. 9 ———— LOVE AND MADNESS. pea, Aman supposed to be Stephen Hasst cut the throat of Barbara Schaefer with a razor last night, in the lodging house kept by Mrs, Mary Diffeh- dorffer at 10 Bleecker street, and then made a desperate attempt to take his own life. They went into the house at about half-past eight o'clock and hired a room until eleven, So little notice was taken of them by the other in- mates ak they passed into the place that only a very meagre description of either of them could be given by any one in the house at the time. From half-past eight to half-past nine o’clock the house was unusually quict, Mrs. Diffendortfer and two other women sat in the parlor on the first floor, sewing, and in the same apartment lounged Edward Ulman, of 147 East Twenty-fourth street, reading. At half-past nine Mrs. Diffendorffer heard a noise and a rush- ing to ana fro on the second floor, and fearing a fire had broken out in one of the apartments upstairs, went to the second floor, As she gained the head of the , Stairs she saw the woman who had previously en- tered the place with the unknown man staggering from the door of the front room along the landing. Mrs. Diffendorffer ran to the assistance of the un- fortunate creature, and had only time to lead her as far as the foot of the stairs leading to the upper floor when the strange woman fell upon the ground and expired. Almost at the instant life was passing away Mrs. Diffendorffer lifted the woman on to the first step of the staircase and leaned her over on the others, This action bent the body forward while it threw the head back, "A TORRENT OF BLOOD then started from a gash across the throat that extended nearly from ear to ear. The blood ran down the chest and body of the woman saturating her clothes and collecting in pools upon the oil- cloth covering of the floor, The landlady shouted “Murder!” and ‘Police!’? and then rushed back to the parlor, trembling in every limb with frignt. Ulman, without waiting to ascertain the nature of the case, ran into the street calling out ‘Police!’ Officer Bartholomew Kelly, of the Fourteenth precinct, who was on duty in Bleecker street at the time, heard the cry, and after rapping for assistance went te the house. Mrs. Didffen- dortier told him the body of the murdered woman was up stairs, and he immediately started tor the scene, The gastightin the hallways showed him the ghastly spectacle of the dead Mrs. Schaefer half clothed in white Wega bilan and the pools of her blood at her feet, Tracing the red marks made by her feet as she crept from the chamber of death to the door of the first room, OMcer Kelly went into that apartment. ‘The room was almost completely dark, but on turning up the nearly extinguished gas a still more terrible and appalling scene than he had witnessed on the stairs slowly revealed itself to his sight. Upon a bed in the centre of the room lay the body ofa powerful man, quivering in the agonized convul- sions of THE LAST THROES OF LIFE. His throat was cutin very nearly the same manner as the woman’s, and the blood had gushed from the gaping wound and fallen on the carpet immedi- ately beside the bed. The man’s face was turned towards the door, The hands were crossed upon the breast, and the disposition of the Lait looked as if he had composed himself for the last moment. At the head of the bed and in front of the man stood a washstand, with basins and jugs uponit. Over against the wail upon which the door opened was a sofa, upon which were lying his clothes. At the foot of the bed, be- tween the end of the sofa and the recess on the right of the window, @ small fire burned in a low grate over which a rusty blower hung. In this recess, between the fireplace and the window nearest the Bowery, was a table upon which the woman's outer garments were heaped. On the ground beside the table several white undergar- muents, saturated with blood, were tossed. Close beside them a chair was turned over and at this spot undoubtedly the struggle between the parties took place. There is every evidence the weman fought desperately for some minutes, but, being rather small and in the hands oi a power- fal man, she could scarcely offer resist- ance for any length of time.” The win- dow shutters were closed and _ spattered with blood to the height of about eight feet from the ground. The frame, woodwork and casin; were also stained with dark marks o! blood, an similar signs of the encounter were noticed on the — all the way from this corner to the door, On the top of a chest ef drawers that stood in the space between the two windows ‘was a portion of the woman’s clothes. Her hat and a cheap shawl pin were mixed up with the necktie and paper collar belonging to the man. The hat is a well worn common black velvet one, with a small black feather, and the pin is brass, twisted in snape and having on the front A MOSAIC IMPRESSION. A pair of small India rubber overshees were on the floor beaide the chest of drawers, and at the foot of the sofa was a pair of large curiously shaped elastic side boots. While Ofticer Kelly and Roundsman Conlin, who answered the call for help, were ex- amining the room the man on _ the bed groamed and sighed at intervals. The face never moved, but the body several times half turned, as if in pain, and the lower limbs fre- quently pulled themselves up and then shot out again to their furthest limit. The face was vet ten and calm as t gas light struc it, but the terrible gash beneath it made the sight a sickening one to look at. The countenance is rather a handsome one, with a heavy black mustache and well shaped, Prominent nose. ‘The hair is dark and curling ‘and lis well back from the forehead. From the cut and color of the clothes on the sofa, which are those worn by the man, he is supposed to be a German. and the woman from her appearance is undoubtedly of the same nation, He looked to be about thirty-five years of age, but she was at least ten years younger. The noise and fright of the people in the house created a tremendous excite- ment in the street, and the sidewalks were soon filled with people eager to get a look at THE MUTILATED BODIES and learn the cause of the trouble, Report quickly magnified the extent of the tragedy, and crowds rushed trom all the neighboring streets to find out how many persons had been murdered.

Possibly Another Car-Hook Murder Further Facts Against the Driver—The Coroner’s Inquest—No One Knows the Deceased, but He Was Seen Riding in. the Horse-Car. The terrible death of the unknown traveller at Hoboken continues to be the all-absorbing topic of interest in that city. The probability that a car-hook outrage. equalled in atrocity only by the murder of Mr. Putnam in New York, had been perpetrated at the very doora ofthe people of Hoboken, give rise yesterday to a feeling of horror more wide-spread perhaps than any hitherto created among them, Great as had been the excitement and interest on Monday, they” became vastly more 80 on the more extended circulation of the facts in the case. A stream ef anxious citizens meved steadily to the police station and the Coroner's office all day, inquiring minutely into the details of the tragic deed. Many persona were most anxious to obtain an interview with the accused prisoners, but, in the interest of justice, communication with the suspected men was pro- hibited. An additional ray of light seemed to beam upon the mystery when a man, well known in Ho boken, informed the Chief of Police that on the evening of the tragedy he rode from the ferry in one of the city horse cars as far as Eighth street, and that DECEASED WAS A PASSENGER on the same car and continued to remain thereim after he alighted at Eighth street, This was about the hour of the occurrence of the homicide, At seven o'clock last evening Coroner Parslow commenced THE INQUEST at Stemler’s house, 61 Washington street. The Dall was densely crowded threughout the proceed- ings. When the prisoners—Berger, Brenack and Sel- denack—were brought betore the jury every eye was directed towards them. They returned the @lance with an. air of apparent indifference, although for a while they seemed to be struggling with inward emetions. A squad of oificers were present to prevent disorder. District Attorne; Garretgon appeared in order to watch the procee: ings on behalfof the State, and Mr. Morgan ap- peared in the interest of Berger. Mr. Funcheon was then sworn, and he testified to the facts already published in the HERALD, and said that about half-past six o’clock on the even- ing of the homicide he heard two shots fired at w shert distance from Perry’s Hotel, within which he was at supper with his wife and children. After the firing of the shots aloud scream fell upon his ears, and then sounds as it were the words of quarrelling men. Such noise is not very common, but shots had been fired in like manner two weeks previously. When he came out by th path he found the man lying dead across the wal Mr. Charles A. Donavan, Chief of the H boken police force, then came forward, and, after narrating in detail the exertions of himself and Detectives Bagley and Wright to trace the murder to its perpetrators, stated that he went to Mr. Brooks, the Assistant Superintendent of the City Railread, of whom he inquired as to the kind of implements used by the drivers, Hav- ing obtained the requisite information, he repaired tothe depot and procured the switch-turner, as already anneunced in the HERALD. No arrest was made until Dr. Benson analyzed the blood and hair onthe implement. The hook was found on Berger’s car (hereupon the’ instrument vane duced and exhibited to the jurors). Berger’s coat and weollem Jacket were also brought before the jurers, who scru- pulously examined the blood stains found thereon. ‘The man employed ag counsel for Berger them arose and essayed to address the jury, but after & few moments the Coroner politely informed him that he had no right to address the jury, where- upon the counsel subsided. Aid Burke was them sworn. He asked Berger whether he had not QUARRELLED WITH A MAN at the corner of Eleventh and Washington street® and was answered in the negative. He asked Ber- ger what time he had left the ferry on Thursday evening—whether at five, half-past five, six or seven o’clock—but the driver could net tell. Ber- ger acknowledged that the switch turner in pos- session of the police belenged to his car. Mr. Henry Siebein, a young man with no fixed oceupa- tion, peaining: at 188 Hudson etreet, was ther sworn, when he deposed that he (witness), & man name Carroll, the night watchman and another individual were in the ‘watchman’s house at the shore, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets, on the evening in question, between the hours of half-past three and half-past eight, during which time no one of the four leit the shanty. (This shanty is about five hundred yards from the place on which the victim fell.) lenry Carroll corroborated Siebein's statement. Oficer Egan testified to the finding of the jacket im Berger's house. Mrs, Berger observed that the SPOTS ON THAT GARMENT had been sed by paint. On rubbing one of the stains so! f the matter came off, and the oficer believed that paint could not be so easily taken out. Two other men corroborated the téstimony of Siebein and Carroll, when, owing to the lavenes# of the hour, the inquest was .adjourned wll Satur- day. When Berger was passing out of the Court in eustody he was more agitated than previously, and several friends shook him b: the hand. He and Benach and Seldena were committed to prison as Lefore. It is motice- ~ able that all the principal witnesses in the case have yet to be examined. Several prominent Ger- mans of Hoboken take a deep interest in the case, and are declaring Berger innocent before they can find out whether he is or not. They are constantly visiting the authorities and pooh-pooh the case as if the authorities wished to make an innocent mam. appe guilty. Thus their intended friendship works against the prisoner, who has nothing to expect from the oficials but strict justice, whether e innocent or guilty. Thus far the Coroner and the police have done their tull duty, distaste~ ful though it be. A SYRAQUSE MURDERER SENTENCED. TO DEATH. Syracusk, N. Y., Feb. 4, 1878.
