An important conviction was obtained in the General Sessions yesterday, Henry Alexander, a professional receiver of stolen goods, was tried and found guilty, and Recorder Hackett sentenced him to the State Prison for five years. It appears that three clerks in the employ of H. B. Claflin & Co. were in the habit of stealing goods and selling them to Alexander. Philip Newman, who has been indicted for con spiring to defraud the United States by attempting to enter into a frandulent bond, appeared yester- ‘ay before Commissioner Shields and gave bail in $5,000 to take his trial when called upon. The Grand Jury of the United States Circuit Court Submitted to Judge Biatchford yesterday an im- portant presentment in reference to the affairs of the Wallkill National Bank. They recommend a change in the law, by which examiners of na- tional banks shall in future be officers of the United States and paid by the national government. A case was tried yesterday in the Court of Com- mon Pleas, before Judge Loew, in which an artist recovered $1,000 for painting a picture, the party for whom 1t was painted having repudiated his or- der and refused payment. The result carries its own moral with it. THE SCANNELL-DONOHOE TRAGEDY An Immense Amount of “Horse Talk” in Court Yesterday—Further Testimony as to the Prisoner’s Mental Condition After the Shooting of His Brother—Things That Were singularly Never Men- tioned by Him to His Friends—“I Hope God Will Kill Me or Donohoe.” The proceedings in the Scannell murder trial yesterday were rather monotonous and were con- fined almost wholly to the testimony of witnésses as to the changes in the prisoner's demeanor and mental condition after the death of his brother, Florence. Mrs. John Scannell, wife of the prisoner, his mother, sister and two young brothers were present in Court, and several ladies, strange faces in this trial, were also in the bar enclosure. There ‘was nothing more noticeable in the general make- up of the audience than has been observed in the former proceedings in this cage, and in spite of the very unfavorable weather the attendance was quite large. Judge Brady was on the bench promptly, as ‘usual, and the proceedings were opened by recall- ing MICHAEL FAGAN, the witness who was still on the stand at the hour of adjournment on Thursday. After Mr. Beach had asked him a single question of no public inter- est, he was Cross-examined by District Attorney Phelps and testified as to what occurred in the pool room substantially as before. He testified that when Donohoe said “Come on, John,” it seemed to him very loud.

Q. What do you mean by answering to my former bigger that his conversatisn was disconnected ? . I mean that it wasn’t hearable ; I have noticed his hand was cold and Loma er I have noticed per- spiration on his forehead when there was no rea- son Why he should be in that condition; I have known him to pass me in the street when I should think he must have seen me; I deal im horses and reside in Havana; have resided in Havana about ten years, Cross-examined—I have known the Scannelis about (our or five years; [make about five to eight trips per year between Havana and New York; my Leg os residence is in Havana; I was in New ‘ork about two weeks before Florence was shot; I ‘was also in New York about two weeks alter Flor- ence died; I have chiefly met John in or about the Glenham House; I seldom went in except ter a drink or a cigar: I have principally been with him in the street looking at horses running and exer- cising on the street; my acquaintance was casual; never had any conversation with him except in a casual way about horses; never spoke to him about the death of his brother, SOLOMON MEHRBACH next testified—I am a horsedealer; was acquainted with Florence and John Scannell for about fifteen years; knew Donohue about five years; was inti- mate, to some extent, with the whole Scanueli tam- ily; T am not now aw Alderman, my term having expired on the Ist oi January last; Florence was en- gaged in dealing in horses, and 1 think ne kept the stables; John was engaged in the horse trade also; John commenced to keep the Glenham House, 1 think, in March, 1869; Mrs. Scannell leased tne house; previous to tnat they kept the Compton House; the disposition of John, prior to the shoot- ing of Florence, was peaceable, quiet, gen- teel. and migh-spirited ; he’ was not profane, nor a @rinking man; ke was always in healthy condition, but not a robust man; on the day Florence was shot I accompanied John over to Jefferson Market Court, and he was very excited and tremulous; I frequently saw him at the hospital while Florence was there, but didn’t notice much change in his manner then; it was chiefly betore the last election—some two or three months before—that I noticed the change; he sald once that the Apollo Hall ticket could not be elected if they had every nomination in the city, and almost immediately afterward, as I was leav- ing him, he said we could elect every man on the ‘Apollo Hall ticket as it stood. Cross-examined—I was a candidate on the Apollo Hall ticket at the last election; I was landlord of the premises on which the Gienham House was situated; Iremember a time when John was ab- sent from the city alter the death of Florence; I think it was in the Fall of that year; I saw him in the following July.

Q. Dit he say what Donohoe might have him “railroaded” for? A. (a pause) 1 don’t know that he did; while Jonn was at house (six weeks) he was attended by Dr. Shine; I know Mr. Fagan, who testified yesterday; 1 have not pro- cured any of the witn 8 in this case. This cioged the day’s proceedings, and, after some debate, an adjournment was ordered until Monday morning. Judge Brady decided to allow the jury to go to their homes without the usual cscort of a court oflicer, stating that in so doing he relied on their honor and integrity to repel any approaches made by per- sons interested in the case with a view to aifect their opinions, He also cautioned them against pmol | any newspaper comments on the case, and trusted they would not in any way betray the con- fidence reposed in them or prove themselves un- worthy of the Hai ee gigs granted them. If they did and he learned-of it he should deal in a sum- mary manner with such cases, THE NATIONAL BANK OF WALL- KILL. The Alleged Detajcations of the Presi- dent and the Cashier—Important Pre- sentment by the Grand Jury of the United States Circuit Court—Severe Criticism Upon Ex-Compiroller of Cur- rency Hubbard—Suggestions as to the Appointment of National Bank Ex- aminers. Yesterday the Grand Jury of the United States Circuit Court appeared before Judge Blatchford and handed to His Honor the following important presentment in reference to the aifairs of the Wall- kill National Bank and the alleged defalcations of the President and the Cashier of that establish ment :— Southern District of New York, 83.:—The jurors of the United States of America wathin and for the district and circuit aforesaid, on their oath pre- sent, that on their investigation of complaints against certain officers of the Wallkill National Bank certain fact re elicited which, in the opinion of the aforesaid, make it preper that they should call attention to the gross neglect of duty, both on the part of the late Comptroller of the Currency, A. R. Hulburd, and certain directors of the sald bank, It Ce ag) from the evidence, and from the letter of Mr, Hulpurd to the Presi- dent and Cashier of said bank, that as early as February 14, , the bank was in an insolvent condition. It ae 4 And letter of the Comptroller, a copy of which is hereto an- nexed, bearing date ren te ep that the re- serve of the bank was then $28,280 short and that the cashier committed forgery In statements ren- dered to the Comptroller of the Currency, and that the legal tender money in the bank was $14,913 standing these facta: attspved by tho. signature of standing these attes e signal the Comptroller and the re Fe of the bank ex- aminer, neither the officer of the bank nor any of ne directors took any effectual means to correct em, The law provides that such a deficiency in the bank reserve is a good ground to forfeit the charter of the association; and while it may be that such a penalty should not be inflicted in the case of a tem- porary or accidental deficiency of this nature, et had the Comptroller at that time performe is duty he would have found such a condition of things as to by ied stringent measures on his part. Not only did the Comptroller not take any vigorous measures to protect the interests of the stockholders and lepositors, but we are compelled from the evidence to believe that he actually assisted the Presi- dent and Cashier in concealing the real condition of the association from the directors, AS @ result the bank failed a few weeks since; and in- vestigation shows that not only has its entire capi- tal been dissipated, but a deficiency exists which the stockholders must make 3 while large sums have been lost by special depositors. It ap- ears that the aflairs of the bank were conducted in a very loose, unbusiness-like aud negligent man- ner. The Cashier was a defaulter and fugitive from Justice, aud frequently abyent from the bank tor days at @ time, and the affairs of the institution were left in charge of a teller, @® mere youth, of little or no exnerience in banking business. The President appears to have been directly implicated with the Cashier in embezzling and converting the funds of the asso- ciation, The Vice President and directors compos- ing the reagan committee appear to have been negligent in their duty to an unaccountable de- gree, The evidence clearly shows that tor a period of two years the association was entirely bank- rupt, and that the mest superficial examination of the affairs of the bank by the examining committee must have made it entirely clear to any ordinary mind that the association was insdlvent; yet that committee claim to have examined the bank twice a Fed Without discovering anything wrong. e also wish to call attention to the extreme apathy and indifference displayed by the directors and other parties inter- ested in prosecuting the President and Cashier of the bank, with one exception, Mr. A. A. Bromley, who seems to have done his full duty, They ped to have rather wished to shield the dishonest ofl- cers than to prosecute them for their crimes. The bank examiner appointed by the Comptroller of the Currency seems to have regarded himself as having no duty to perform in this respect. In conclusion, We are compelled to say that, while there has not as yet been evidence submitted sufficient to make the late Comptroller and directors of the bank answerable to the ciiminal sections of the Banking act, yet, in our judgment, they are morally, responsible, for the losses falling on the innocent dealers and Ce depos- itors of the bank, With tmis example before us we feel obliged to recommend to the Comptroller of the Currency, to oll the national bank examiners, and especially to the directors of national banks, & more careful supervision of the interests committed to their care, and more stringent measures in the discovery and correction of any infraction of the law; and we earnestly recommend that the Na- tional Banking act be amended, defining more di- rectly and explicitly the duties of persons appointed under said act, and known as national bank exam- iners; and to that effect we make the following suggestions ‘irst—That said examiners be made officers of the United States, and, as such officers, subject to the provisions of the general statutes o! the United States, defining their responsibilities and punish- ing any offences Wiey may commit. ‘That said exatiners be required, when- ever they discover any violation of the penal sec- tion of the Banking act, to proceed forthwith be- fore the United States Attorney for the district in which said violation occured and lodge a com- plaint against any and all persoms committing such violations, Third—That said examiners be paid by the gov- ernment and not by the banks they are appointed toexamine, JOHN H. HALL, Foreman. W. B, GARDINER, Sec'y pro tem, GEORGE Briss, Jr., United States Attorney. ORDER BY JUDGE BLATCHFORD. On the above presentment Judge Blatchford has made the following order :— Ordered that the Clerk transmit a certified copy of the within presentment to each of the following Pao :—The Comptroller of the Currency, the cretary of the Treasury, the Chair of the Commit- tee on Banking of the United States Senate and the Chairman of the Committee on Banking of the House of Representatives of the United States, LAKES OF KILLARNEY. Painting a Picture One Thing and Paying for It Another—Justice Shiclds the Artist. Some two years ago Henry OC. Bispham, the ar- tist, had in his studio an outline drawing of tne Lakes of Killarney. Mr. Thomas Keech, strolling into his studio, saw this outline (we are now giv- ing the story of the artist), and the fancy seized him to have it painted. An arrangement to this effect was quickly made, and the price fixed at $1,000, Mr. Bispham painted the picture, It was piaced on exhibition at the Century Club, Mr. Keech came there with his wife, and told her that he had this picture painted as a surprise for her, She, peng an irish lady and familiar with the kes of Killarney, expressed her- self greatly pleased with the fidelity and artistic finish of the painting. After hanging a while in the exhibition window of Sanese, on Broadway, Mr. Bispham took the picture to the residence of Mr. Keech and hung it in their parlor, Mr. and Mrs. Keech, however, being absent at the time. The artist waited till their return, and then, vo his surprise, Mr. Keech told him he did not want the picture and denied ever having ordered it. Not being ee tolet the matter drop here Mr. Bispham brought suit against Mr. Keech to compel him to pay for the picture. The case was tried yes- terday, before Judge Loew, holding Trial Term of the Court of Common Pleas. The testimony tor the plaintiff was an extended elaboration of the facts, as above stated. For the defence was set up @ general denial. The jury was out but a short time, when they brought in a verdict for the full amount claimed, with interest. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS.

Before Recorder Hackett, The forepart of yesterday, was occupied in the trial of Henry Alexander, charged with receiving stolen goods, knowing them to have been feloni- ously obtained by the party selling them. It rarely ms th je to adduce happe at the prosscnsion are yet furry proot the ji case, for the professional receiver is shrewd and cautious in his operations, maintains a respectable appearance, and can bring @ host of witnesses to prove his general good character. ‘The evidence in this case was that H. B. Claflin & Co, had among their employés three youths, named Dewitt C. Dey, Jacobi and Rice, who siole goods from them and sold them to the prisoner at greatly reduced prices. The particular allegation the indictment was that on or about the 12tn of De- cember Alexander received a piece of Empress cloth, valued by Mr. Dunn, a member of the firm, at from thirty-five to forty dollars, knowing it to have been stolen, ‘To sustain the charge Assistant, District Attorney Russell called Dewitt ©. Dey, who sald that onthe 6th of December he stole the piece of goods in question from Clafiin’s store and eoreced to Alexander's store to sell it. le would not take it then, but kept it in a carriage place in Kighth avenue for a week, and on the morning of the 12th Dey returned to the prisoner's place and was in the act of receiving $10 for the piece of goods when Detective Field made his appearance and arrested Alexander, having had the understanding with the youth to wait outside until the purchase was com- leted, Dey testified that between the middle of tober and December he visited Alexander's ace in Ninth avenue ten times and stole between 500 and $1,000. It appeared trom the interviews which Dey and the prisoner had and from all the testimony !n the case that Alexander was a profes- sional receiver. The defendant admitted that he purchased the pire of goods trom Dey, but did not believe that it ad been stolen, Several gentiemen were called te testify to the goot character of Mr, Alexander; but the evidence of his guilt was so overwhelming that the jury xepccaee a verdict of gulity without leaving their Beats, Recorder Hackett sentenced him to the State Prison tor five years. This 18 the second receiver of stolen goods who has been convicted during the present term of the Court; and ifa halfa dozen of such verdicts could be obtained inst noted receivers of stelen goods in this city the occupation of mogt of the thieves would be se the slang oF the fraternity, they woul any place to dispose of their “swag’?

The indictment alleged that on the 29th of October he forged an order purporting to have been drawn le Fellows, Hoffman & Co., directing James Sutton Co., proprietors of the Aldine, to insert an advertisement fn that journal at a cost of $240, The prisoner was tried at the last term of the Court and the jury disagreed, After taking some testimony the Court adjourned till Monday.

Both in- duiged rather freely, and their treubles culminated in the iady procuring @ summons requiring her spouse’s appearance to apswer a charge or ill- usage. Mr. Darcy palliated his conduct by charg- ing his better half with riotous and disorderly con- duct wken under the influence of “a drop.” Judge Dowling philanthropically endeavored to reconcile their differences, and the wife professed a willing- ness to receive once more the spouse of her bosom, Judge Dowling—Well, now, how many children have you got? Mr, Darcy—Two, sir. Judge—Can’t you both agree to live together in peace and give up liquor’ (To Mr. Darcy)—Can’t you get along with your wife ?

About half an hour thereafter the boxes were a removed, and taken by Gallagher to 751 Thirc enue, the basement of which is let by Henry A. Van Ness asa storeroom. Goldstein had hired it for a week, saying it would save him the trouble of taking the two boxes before alluded to to Harlem, In this place Geldstein was arrested and the boxes open when sixty pieces of the veiver stolen {ror ir. Richards’ store, and valued at $2,500, were found therein. A piece of the same Velvet was also found by Captain Williams in a closet at 403 East Thirty-fourth street. Yester- day Goldstein was brought to Court for the second time, he having been remanded to give the police ance to ferret out the others more directly en- wed in the robbery; but they were unsuccessful. Fistice Bixby committed the accused in default of $5,000 bail, penaing an examination demanded by his counsel, Abe Iummeii. BROOKLYN COURTS. CITY COURT—TRIAL TERM—PART |, A Lawyer's Railroad Expericnee. Before Judge Neilson. Lawyer Samuel C. Conable said that while he was riding home in an Atlantic street and Greenwood car on the 16th of November last another passen- ger attempted to force himself into a seat beside a young lady next to where Conable was sitting. The car was about half full and the lawyer refused to move so that the intruder might take his seat. The conductor thereupon appeared on the scene and ordered Conabie to move along, at the same time threatening to put him off the car if he dia not doo. Conable challenged him to undertake that job, When the conductor, undaunted, bounced him into the street. He said that he was also thrown on the floor of the car, and in the course of the encounter lost some valuable law papers. When he struck the street his briefs were gone. He brought suit against Alderman Willlam Richard- son, the lessee of the road, to recover $5,000 dam- ages, and yesterday the case came up for trial. ‘The defence said that the plaintiff was ejected from the car on account of his tudecent behavior to the yonng lady by whom he was sitting, Alder- man Richardson also alleged that Conable had con- cealed his knowledge of the number of the car and the name of the conductor until after the latter was discharged trom the road and could not be found, Case on, CITY COURT—TRIAL TERM—PART 2.

THAT “REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION.» 289 GREENWICH STREET, } New York, Feb, 21, 1873. To THE EpITOR OF THE HERALD:— Deak Sir—The report in your paper under the conspicuons heading “A Real Estate Transaction,” is a gross perversion of the facts. O'Donnell is not a lawyer and never was associated with me in business, and the opinion does not say so, The plaintif, O'Donnell, was never my client. On the contrary, I brought an action against him for another person of the same name, and recovered judgment after a trial. Failing to col- lect the judgment, an execution was issued and we were forced to sell his realestate, The law allowed hin fifteen months in which to redeem the prop- erty after the sale, but, although both he and his attorney knew of the sale, no steps were taken to redeem, All this isin evidence and not disputed. 1 bougit the property, { may say, accidentally, having attended the sale to see to the interests of my client, and, no one being present, bought the property myself for an amount suilicient to pay the judgment and the Sheriii’s fees, I knew nothing of the property, aud took a risk in baying, and had not even seen itatthattime. I fully expected it Would be redeemed, and paid no more attention to it for a year, when I wrote to O’Don- nell to call and pay the judgment or his property would be conveyed to me by the Sheritt in a few months, I also communicated with his attorney, bat no action was taken by either of thei, ‘The Sheriff at the end of fifteen months conveyed the property to me, but I never vook any action under the decd except to demand, formaily, possession. O'Donnell has always been year ago I did not, His action against mo was to set aside the Sheriff's sale, alleging certain tech- nical irregularities on the part of the Sheriff. Judge Sedgwick, in his certainly able and well- considered opinion, finds that there were certain technical trregularities in the notices published by the Sheriff suficient to invalidate the sale, and so decides, But he takes occasion to say that my integrity and fairness in the matter can- not be impeached. This you did not publish. Tam authorized by Messrs. Bushnell & Albright, the plaintif’s attorneys, to say that your report is very unjust, and that they never in their proceed- ings even pretended that my actions could be ques tioned in a moral point, and that they relied upon the technical irregularities I have mentioned for success, I would add that I offered to reconvey the propeeey to O'Donnell on receiving & compensation for trouble and time lost, but he refused to accept my offer, Yours, &¢, WILLIAM LINDSAY, BROOKLYN HOUSE BURNING. e PNRM hee Persistent Attempt to Commit a Tene= ment to the Flames, Repeated cases of arson have recently been brought to light in Brooklyn, and several parties are now awaiting the action of the Grand Jury for setting fire to buildings. The latest incendiary act reported by the Fire Marshal is remarkable for the persistency of the efforts of the unknown scoun- drel to consign the building to the flames. The structure upon which the attempt was made is a two story and attic tenement frame house, No. 330 Baltic street, and is occupied by twenty persons, On the night of the 14th inst. a board partition in the cellar was saturated with kerosene oil and was set on fire. The smoke penetrated through the floor, but the flames did not. The inmates re- tired for the night. Fortunately the fire died out in the cellar, and a human holocaust was spared. ‘The stairway of the tenement is narrow, and es- cape for those domiciled on the upper floor would have been attended with diMculty. On Thursday night last another diabolical attempt was made to fire the place by stung a bundle of oll ri in between the boards of the floor in the cellar, The floor was considerably burned, but the fire failed to gain much headway ere it was discovered. The authori- ties are of the opinion that éhe incentive is re- venge, and every effort will be made to apprenend the guilty party. The broporty is owned by Arte- mus Cady, of the Comptroller's ofice, New York, TNT SALES AT AUCTION. (APRs H, MULLER, AUCTIONEER, EXECUTOR'S SALE. By oraer of James A. H. Cornell and Theophilus A.
