THE PACIFIC MAIL TUMBLE. Outside and Inside Views of the Great Collapse. Stockwell’s Losses Estimated at Four Millions. The Concatenation of Pacific Mail, Atlantic and Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Samana Bay and Sewing Machines. pec yn Sa lg STOCKWELL, GOULD AND GRAY. Wall street was again in an uproar yesterday, ‘ana, unfortunately, the case was the same as that of the previous week—a panic in Pacific Mall. But the panic was of a much more dangerous character than the one of Wednesday last, because the stock, which had been getting firmer since then, broke again and took a great many by sur- prise who had thought the aifficuit moment was over. When the stock broke yesterday morning and tumbied down eight per cent in the space of a few moments, the dismay which overtook every- body was of such acharacter as marks only the most momentous panics. It was ali the worse that people did not seem to know what the cause o! it all was, and the mystery which surrounded the whole operation threatened to make the affair much worse than it really was, Men rushed about looking at the stock indicators, whispering a few words and making off again as if all their INDIVIDUAL FORTUNES were dependent on the upward or downward Movement of Pacific Mail—as Uf they themseives Were the partics most interested—as if they had, im fact, lost their heads, Every moment, as the stock went lower and lower, the brokers and out- side operators got more and more excited aud boisterous, and every one of them would havé E.ven wntoli suins to have knuwno exactly where he really did stand and whut was the meaning of Ail this turmoil aud trouble, It seemed to raise the personal interest which was tuken in the matter that many more were affected by the fallin Pacific Mail than would have appeared. But with ali—even those who had tue least per- sonal inverest—the interest in the affairs of Pacitic Mail was intense, wus literally, to use w huckneyed expression, i THE UNIVERSAL TOPIO of conversation, and 4 collection of the conversa- tions which took place on the subject would be a matter of peculiar ang alinyst dreil interest to an putside reader, ‘the prognostics and predictions which were made, if they had mot been at botiim Bo sad, would actually have been funny. One name Wus IM everybody’s mouth—Stockwell, and the mume excited more interest and gained more hoturicty tuam it ever has done yet or ever will Ayan, Why is the name of Stockwell received with Ruch general derision?” asked the reporter, some- Waat naively, of a well kuown broker. “Weil, )ou know,” he said in answer, ‘when Bnybody ‘goes up’ in the street we ali pounce upun him Like go iaany crows.” = Wnich remark has a moral, ‘TO unother broker the reporter said, inquiringly: “1. is said Mr. Stockwell refuses to make apy Btacement.”” “. es,’ answered the broker, smiling, “he’s like the boy the cali ran over.” Not one even said “Poor Stockwell ! They all seemed to be actuaily happy that a man who wus a litile more prominent than they had been brought ; DOWN FROM HIS HIGH POSITION, that they might drag his name around among the Butters and heap taery wit upon it, . Jlus will be ail the more readily understood when we say that it was generally rumored around the strcet that Mr. Stockwell, tie i’resident of tne Pacific, Mail Steamshi, Pempan the Pyesident of the Howe Sewing Machine CO} npany and President bl the Sumaua lay Corporation, liad, during the past five days, Jost clean out oi the pocket the sum Di 34,000,000, So that those who did laugh reall, Wid have something to laugh about. It was @ fall which was accorded all the honors of being talked o1 like a wonder. It is said to be tue biggest of its Kind since the day when Leonard W. Jerome, went $3,000,000 on Pacific Mail and lost it. But that was suid to be due to the success of the bill in Congress tor a Pacific railroad. This Was entirely due, 1t was equally said, to Mr, Stock- Weil himseil. Hence the laugh, It was currently In.everybedy’s mouth that Mr, Stockwell had ve- comé gynoitious aad bad done more than he was able fo do—had, im fact, carried a load which was too héavy fof him; and that he sank under its Weight. People cre it he Bis sunt aie Bell to one thing, jnstead of Wanting iv become Most daring and Ne Bpeculatdr oi ikg Street, there would be more sympathy with him; but mncé? the present circumstances there was, Dot aud there Would not be, ~*<7errar P THE STORY 7 jpi-rerioteere whicn was printed as a rumor gf the HERALD a few days since was referred (0, that Mr. Stockwel Batisiicd with his QWD Speculations, conducted b, himself, had gétie down into the street and had go! parties to taxe stock in their name at 90 to 100, wien the Pacific Mail was at these figures, and that he had piedged himseli to cover the losses on this if there were any, while those who operated im his name shouid have nalf the profits if there were any. ibis was touts ago and tne stock was held ail this time, the stor’ foes, Mr. Stockwell having tie idea that it could not fail to go up again, But it went on gradually descending until the holders ot the stock grew frightened and wished Mr, Stockwell to settle. His being pan ling or unable to do so was the cause of the fail the other day, When all this stock which had been held was thrown upon the street, Had this been the end of it Mr. Stockwell could possibly have recovered, But the very fact, itis suid, of his name being con- nected with the company as President while these ppetulations Were known to have gone on gavea jook oO! instability to the whole company, and theuce the second tuinble. It is reasonable to be- lieve that HAD NOT MR. STOCKWELL DEEN PRESIDENT ¢ ne company the stock would not have so suf- ferred. ~ But a rumor of a still more serious charactor prevailed, that the company itself was oy Uhees Joser by Mr. Stockweil’s speculations; That tt lent him money on what was thought to Ge a good security, but which has turved out to Qe altogether tnsunicient. rue This was undoubtedly, the cause of the secret meeting which was held in the oMce of the Pacitic Mail Steamship Company, on Walistreet, yestervay giternoon, A reporter of the HERALD Was Ou tne mee ‘The meeting lasted three hours, and all the directors were present, the President himself being there also, The ‘4guaLp reporter was very anxious to obtain some jniormation as to what was gong on, but Mr. Befiows, the Vice President, seemed to be equally anxious that he should not. While the Meeting wasin progress Mr. Gray, tne broker of Mr. St-,éxwell, came in. He was pale aud anxious- look‘.ng, Tne reporter had some conversation with nia, 4 WHAT MR. GRAY SAYS. ¢ “This isa bad state of things, Mr. Gray,” said ‘the reporter. yeu, but not 60 bad as it looks or as it has been reported,” answered Mr. Gray. “Of course, it is ‘uselcas to deny that I have boen a heavy loser in Paciiic Mail; but it 1s faise say that [have faiigd. The whole street seems to have united Q@gainst me, and many have said that I was ‘broke.’ But the fact is that I have met my lia- vilities, The talk of those who have been pow dug me even went so far that they refused me cer- tificatior But I fixed this; and to-day, though I ‘am a heavy loser, Iam allright. It has been very hard upon me, and it has been made ail the harder fact that so much has been said about “You are now speaking for yourself alone, I pre- ume!” said the reporter. “Yes, for myself. 1 e held a good deal of Pa- cific Mail stock, and I have sutfered.”” “Being the broker of Mr. Stockwell, do you’ feel at liberty to say anything about his affairs?" “[do not. I can say that Mr. Stockwell has been a@ very heavy loser, but that is all I know about bim. ‘You had better see him.” Mr. Gray then went into the President's office and remained a few noments away. He came back and said, ‘Mr. Stockwell says that he has nothing to make public, aud would prefer net being inter- viewed.” The reporter waited in the office, and soon after Indge Pierrepent came out of the meeting, and the reporter buttonholed him. JUDGE PIERREPONT’S STATEMENT. “Can you tell me anything of the doings of the Meeting 7” asked the reporter. “I cannot say anything,” answered Judge Pierre- tear “The meeting i io does not have anything to do with the public, “It has been rumored, that the President has deen requested to resigm,”’ suid the reporter. “1 do not think he will resign at present.” + “And how about the other officers?” “Nothing will be done immediately.” Judge Pierrepont went om his way, and the re- porter still waited. The meeting inside was get- ling excited, it was said, and one gentleman subse- quently teld the reporter that the President had Deen asked to resign, and that ke had agreed to do it. Some of the directors stuck to him, however, ‘Two or three of the directors were bitterly opposed to him aud had asked him to render an accoun adding that unless@he re ed the Pacific Mail would not recover, Some julting words thea wEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, MARCH 4, 1873.—TRIPLE SHEET. and the request was withdrawn. The meet- = up without having come to any conclu. sion and adjourned till to-day, when probably ur. Stockwell will give an exhibit of the moneys he has borrowed from the company and what are his secu- Titles, as ithas been said that they were totally ipadequate. As MR. STOCKWELL CAME OUT the HERALD repo! rter saw him. He satd that he must reiuse to give’any facts as to the meetin; it was of a private nature and did not in the least concern the pubic, “Will you let me know whether it was about any- thing in connection with the state of Pacific stock im the markety” one whatever, Why, the company is gil rignt, It bas a margin of twenty per cent on all loans, and u secures it.”” you do not care, I presume, to speak about your own avluirs in connection with the Pacilic Muil?? “Ido nou” Mr. Stockwell walked away with Mr. Gray up Wall street, Mr. Gray having his arm round Mr, Stockwell’s neck, As they passed on aimost every- body hooked back at them. THE HEAALD IN ‘THE LAVA BEDS, The Independent Press the Source of Cor- rect Information for the People. {from the Rochester (N. Y.) Express, March 1.] The light of the world, in a secular sense, is the press, There are siow minds which still cling to the notion that “official” information is correct intormation. Never was there a greater mistake, except in such cases where the official misstate- ment can be easily detected and exposed. Con- cerning our relations with the Indians we have, from tie immemorial, been indebted largely to the officials or semt-oficials of the government, who, a8 agents, dealers, commissioners, &c., have allowed just so much information to filter through to the public as they deemed best for their inter- ests. This Modoc difiiculty is a case in point. Through the haze of ignorance concerning these Indians whicn has floated between them in their distant stronghold and us, we have seen them magnified and distorted, a band of red demons determined, before being finally extermi- nated, on imficting all the: outrages pessible upon the white race. After the fight of January 17, in which the white troops were defeated by these Mudoes, the authorities deemed it advisable to have an interview with the Indians, and “Peace Com- missioners” were appointed to visit Captain Jack iu his stronghold, With its usual alertness, the Nw York HERALD despatched a special correspon- dent to make an independent investigation, and report through that paper the truth of the Modoc situation as nearly ashe could get at it. Inthe HERALD of Friday, the 28th, there is a full page re- port of this correspondent’s adventures, witha map of the lava beds in which the Indians are in- trenched, and the surrounding region. ‘The first fact that strikes us 1s that Mr. Meacham, the Peace Commissioner, seems to have a prejudice against newspaper reporters. Me refused to allow the HERALD man to accompany the agent’s party which was about to visit Captain Jack, and it was only by aruse. that the correspondent succeeded sin getting into the Indian camp. Feigning a visit to a neighboring ranch, he came in with the party he wished to accompany alter it had left the camp of the Peace Commissioners. Even then he was not allowed to go on, but fortunately there was a littie snow on the ground, and alter starting back he saw that by means of the tracks inthe snow he could follow the party into the otherwise undis- coverable niding place of the Indians. When he had once got among the Indians he was the most popular man of the party, and was admitted to all the councils which were held. The facts, as he sets them before the public in his paper, differ from the reports which have been current, and, a8 we have shown above, his state- ment is better entitled to credence than the report of the Peace Commission, if that body has really endeavored to exclude members of the press from the interviews held with the Indiana. These savages, as we are wont to term them, ap- pear to have some ground for complaint. It has been the policy of our government to recognize their claim to some definite territory or location, in view of their prior occupancy of this country. To be sure, our justice has been of a pretty scant pattern, and of a miserable quality at that, but we have at least kept up ashow of doing something for this unfortunate race in the matter of assigning them reservations on which to drag out their sad existence, as well as rations, blankets, arms and ammunition. Now, the simple com- piaint of Captain Jack on behalf of his people is, that his tribe was moved three times in the Winter season, "was left without a supply of food, which compelled his people to dig for reots on which to subsist, and had only half a blanket to each war- rior; the squaws and children being left without any. There have been appropriations enough made to make every Indian rich; but it's a good ways to the Indian country, and the hands of the Tadian agents are sticky, 80 that We haye become accustomed tdé hear of starving and freezing as well as of fighting savages on the one hand, end prosperous, plethoric Indian dealers on the othes We have favored a vigorous policy im dealing with such Indians as were determified to make trouble; but thé evidence in this Modoc diMculty seems to show that this company are on the defensive, and, have been robbed and maltreated.

Twombly, which was referred to the Committee on Salaries and Ofices. A ROOM FOR TIE WORKINGMEN’S UNION. A resolution was submitted and adopted grant- ing the use of the court room corner of Fourth ave- nue and Eighteenth street for the purpose of allow- ing the Workingmen’s Union to hold meetings therein on the first and third Fridays of each month. BILLS ORDERED TO BE PAID. A bill for stenographic report of Stokes’ trial, amounting to $520, and to Banks Brothers, for law books to District Attorney's ofice, for $1,181 50, were ordered to be paid, THE TWENTY-SECOND REGIMENT ARMORY, ph he rendered valuable services as enj an ‘ The Committee on Armories and Drill Rooms pre- sented a report recommending the releasing of the Twenty-second regiment armory on Fourteenth street, between Sixth and Seventh avenues, at $20,000 tor five years. Supervisor OTTENDORFER opposed the adoption of the report on the ground that it was the duty of the city to lay down a@ rule that it. would not pay more than $15,000 a year for an armory. He did not believe that $20,000 was too high a rent for the armory, but he was of an opinion that true economy would be found in the declaration of that limita- tion and the annulling of this lease if it could not be got for $15,000, Supervisor McCaFFrErry satd it was quite certain that the peoreseter of that building would not let it for a cent less than $20,000, The committee had spent a considerable time in the consideration of this matter, and when it was remembered that the fitting up of each armory cost the city about sixty thousand dollars on the average, it would be found to be true economy te continue the lease of the one under discussio! § Supervisor Cooper also urged the adoption of the report. He said that a new armory lor this regi- ment could not be fitted up certuinly for less than filty or sixty thousand dollars. Supervisor VAN SCHAIK referred at length to the record of the Twenty-second regiment, which stood next in character to the Seventh, and said the armory had been fitted up, not at the expense of the eee but at the expense of the regiment. ‘hat the expense of that armory had only been $3,600 per year for ten years, whilst the expense of the Sixth regiment had been $36,000 per year, and the expense of an armory for a troop of cavalry from thirty to iorty thousand dollars a ear, After a further discussion the matter was laid over. : THE THIRTRENTH STREET RIDING SCHOOL, Supervisor Kehr created some amusement by resenting a resolution directing the attention of he Committee on Armories to the conduct of Major Green, who appropriated the armory on ‘Thirteenth street, for kis Own private purposes, and the offence was greatly aggravated, in the Supervisor's judgment, by the fact that ladies were taught.to ride there. He named several instances of complaint that had come to him, where the offi- cers and their men could not use the armory, and on one occasion an ofticer, when retused admission had taken an axe and broke open the door, when the ofticer’s susceptibilities were shocked by perceiving that a masquerade ball was foing, on. In proof of this fact the ofticer had rought away with him locks, bolts and bars, taken irom the doors, in the forcible entry. Those locks, bolts and bars the officer would preduce before the committee it it was desired. The point of the Supervisor's speech was lost by the explanation of Supervisors Van Schaik and Mc- Cafferty, who explained that by an arrangement with the city Major Green was allowed the nse of the armory for private purposes, on consideration Br ig Keering itin repair, watching, lighting and warming It, “7 ¥ PHN 6 an ero Sheena The complaint was, however, referred to the committee.

STARVATION AND POISON. Paterson has got another genuine sensation, This flourishing New Jersey town has, within the past year or two, gained quite a reputation jor the umber and magnitude of its tragedies, Libby Garrabrant, the poisoner of Burroughs, has only quite recently had her sentence commuted from death to imprisonment for life, and Van Win- kle Bogert, her confederate, is still a prisoner in the Paterson jail, awaiting bis trial, which will shortly come off. The tragedy which has excited Paterson for the past few days isa very peculiar one. The victim died in Paterson, but the crime was committed in a Western town. The alleged perpetrator resides there now, anc up to the pres- ent time the law has been powerless te fasten guilt upon her, The circumstances of the supposed crime are as tollows:— About seventeen years ago Mr. John Parker, one Paterson, was living happily with his first wife. He had amassed a large fortune by the pur- suit of his calling, and when his wife died Mr. Parker, who was still young, was a very desirable personage in a matrimonial light. Mrs. Laverack, @ sister of Parker, while on a visit to New York, called at the house of Mr. Thamm, a shoemaker, re- siding at Fifty-third street and Thirdavenue. With the NATURAL GARRULITY OF WOMEN Mrs. Laverack spoke of her brother’s wealth to the shoemaker, The conversation was overheard by a woman in the employ of Mr. Thumm, and a few days afterwards Mrs. Laverack was called upon at her residence in Paterson by this woman. She asked permission to remain in the house until the cars came up. Mrs. Laverack readily consented, and entered into conversation with her visitor, The latter during the talk men- tioned her name, and Mrs. Laverack was aston- ished and in some measure alarmed to find that she was a person who only a short time before had been arrested on a charge of administering poison to an old lady, who died from its effects. The visitor stoutly denied the truth of the charge to Mrs. Laverack, and told what she called the facts of the case. The poisoned woman was a wealthy old lady, and as her death was attended by some strange circumstances, at the suggestion of one of the daughters, THE BODY WAS RAISED and an analysis was made, when a quantity of arsenic was found in the stomach. Suspicion was entertained of the younger daughter, the visitor of Mrs. Laverack, but there was no evidence sutticient to bold her and she was discharged, The cordiality with which Mrs. Laverack treated the woman dropped as soon as she discovered her identity, and she was naturally anxious to see her out of the house. The woman expressed a desire to see the Falls, and so anxious was Mrs. Laverack to get rid of her, that she sent her little nephew to show the way. 'To sce the Falls was only a blind to the real intentions of the woman, and she per- suaded the boy to escort her to the house of Mr. Parker, where she introduced herself as a friend of his sister, Mr. Parker did the honors of the house, and before the woman departed she had gained his good graces so far that he promised to call upon her at his next visit to New York. Unfortunately for his future peace he did so, and the intimacy finally resulted in a marriage, des- pite all Mrs. Laverack’s efforts to prevent it. ‘This triumph effected, the character of the newly wedded woman began to manifest itself, That she had married Mr. Parker for love could not be believed; she wanted money amd she commenced a sys- tematic course of hoarding, selling articles of tri- fitng value from the house from time te time and concealing the money, Alter He ¢ time shé, tired of Paterso: her repeated solicitations, she prevailed upom Mr. - Parker to sell his property and remove te La Crosse, Wisconsin. This rs about @ year AFTER THE PY MABRL pee and since then, @ ae iF aetna oe Mr. Parker's life has been one career of misery. The Woman was a born miser, and the couple lived like Danicl Dancer in the midst of all their wealth. By @ systematic course of deceit Mrs. Parker got pos- session of nearly all the husband's property in her own name, Several times the unhappy man wrote to his sister, but as his letters were intercepted by his amiable spouse he scarcely dared to hint at the nature of the life he was leading. * At length misery, privation, and, as it now ap- ears, amore deadly element, began to do their ‘ork. little over five months ayo Mr. Parker was confined to his bed, and was no longer to be seen on _ the streets, His wife ere out that he had a cold; but he felt himself dying and had a letter despatched to his sister by stealth. The letter concluded as fol- lows:. am afraid if I were to have a long and se- vere {ln ¢ would make @ hard nurse and would kill or cure me quick.’ On receipt of the letter Mr. aud Mrs. Laverack, accompanied by the Paterson Chief of Police, at once started for La Crosse. When they arrived at the house of Mr. Parker they witnessed a deplorable sight. The weather was intensely coid, yet no fire was burning in the room of the invalid, and he was faint from long-continued starvation. Dr. Hough, who was immediately called in, said that but for the arrival of Mr. Parker’s sistey he would not have lived thirty-six hours longer. . Mrs. Parker, who was absent at the time of the arrival, on coming back to her house was met by the Paterson Chief of Police. “Is he dead ?”’ she asked. She was informed that he had been taken to the Tremont House, whereat she became ver: laying big pipes on | viojent, but in the end got irightened. A numbe! of pills were found in the house which Mrs. Farket had been in the habit of giving to her husband daily. The*pills on being analyzed were found to contain . -" LOBELIA AND TARTAR EMETIC. When Mr. Parker had in some measure re- covered he told the tale of his sufferings. He said that he was sneplie’ with nothing to cat but a small quantity of gruel daily. The pills nauseated him and he was constantly so ill that for some time he could not stand upright. He had been hoard- ing up ati cent he could lay his hands upon, un- known to his wife in the hopes of making his es- cape. The sum amounted to $12 50, . ‘ne Mayor of La Crosse was given 8 power of attorney lor the adjustment of Mr. Parker's affairs, and the latter started for Paterson with his sister. Arrived there he made a new will, from which his wife’s name was excluded. With the care that was lavished upon him he secmed to be Ly heen toward recovery; but @ relapse came on, an last Friday he died. He protested with his last breath ¢ his wife was the cause of his death, jd in this opinion the doctors concur. The ir was yesterday the theme of general con- ai versation in Paterson, and it is believed that a ost-mortem will be made and a warrant issued oy the arrest of Mra. Parker, who is yet in La Crosse, GOVERNOR DIX. The Fate of the Charter—What Is Likely To Be Done. Governor Dix paid a visit to the Mayor's OfMice at the City Hail yesterday afternoon. He was shown into the private room of His Honor, and shortly after the arrival of the Governor Comptroller Green was ushered in, The confereyce was strictly pri- vate, but it was understood that it related to the assage of the New York city charter in the Benate, to certain modjfications desired therein and to arrangements that were necessary te be made for the accomplishment of those modifications. There is every reason to be- lieve that the co-operation of the Governor will be obtained in tuis direction, and that action in reia- tion thereto will be taken en the return of Gov- ernor Dix to Alban; ST, PATRIOK’S DAY. ‘The dimculty that arose between the Police Com- missioners and the St. Patrick's socteties about the line of march to be pursued by the parade on the 17th inst, was amicably settled yesterday. | A com- mittee of the societies called upon the Board of Police yesterday and proposed that the parade should adopt the line from Twenty-third street and Second avenue to Second street and the Bowery, to Canal street, to Centre-and thence to Chambers, where they will take the sidewalk and continue to the City Hall Park, entering by the last gate. Pass- ing through the park the column will go through Broadway to Fourteenth street, around the Wash- ington monument, along Fourteenth street to Ninth avenue, to Thirty-fourth street, and down to the Cooper Institute, where they will disperse. This arrangement being entirely satisfactory to the Police Commissioners the affair was settied there and then. The details of the proceedings for the day were referred to the Superintendent o! Police, wita powe: THE BROOKLYN ARSON ASE. An examination was held yesterday before Jus- tice Riley in the case of Alonzo Deo and his wife, who were arrested on Saturday morning on @ charge of setting fire to a small frame building, in which they kept a cigar store, on Myrtle avenue. Smok seen by & policeman issuing from the jn question, and upon entering the place il and burning rags were found near a ‘tition im the store, Deo, who is an old victim of paralysis, was found asieep in an adjoiniag apartment. There ,was nothing 10 the evidence adduced to criminate the gvcused, and the case was therefore dismissed. There were twenty-eight fires in Brooklyn during } the monta of February, of the wealthiest and most influential citizens of The Dissolution of Pastoral Relations Asked For—The New York Presbytery Investigating the Cause. The New York Presbytery met yesterday in the the church corner of University place and Tentn Street. The most notable item of business which came before the body was an application made by Rey. W. W. Newell, Jr., tor @ dissvlution of his pas- tora! relation to the Forty-second street Presby- terian church, The facts in the case were not clearly made known, but enough was stated to show that the church would esteem it a great favor if Mr, Newell would resign, and he also gousiders it ina similar ligtt, His style and metaod of preach- ing are not agreeable to a majority o! his people, and the membership, it is said, is ranning down. Mr. Newell, however, said that he expecied to take into the church between twenty and thirty per- sons at their next communion had not trouble ex- isted; but if he should be sent back again, as the Presbytery seemed inclined to direct, he believed that not more than ten or a dozen persons would join. ANOTHER CAUSE OF DISSENSION. But, besides the preaching, it appears that the Church are divided in sentiment th regard to pur- chasing the,churck’ property where they now Wor- Snip or some other, and Mr. Newell has taken sides in this matter and thereby given oifence to the opposite purty. Hence the diffleulties have in- creased until nothing else will now serve, ap- parently,,but a separation, Last Wednesday evening @ session of the church was held, when the pastor asked the people te unite with him in a request to the Presbytery for @ dissulution of the pastoral relation which he has held for a couple of years, and, according to’a resoiution adopted by the session, with acceptance and some measure of success, notwitistandin; contrary verbal reports, ‘The church appointed a couple of commissioners to attend the meeting of the Pres- bytery yesterday and to unite with the pastor in his request, This was done in form, but the proceeding was not considered strictly presbyte- rial, and Dr. Hall opposed granting the request upon anonymeus communications. sidered the relation of pastor and people too ‘ed to be thus severed at the request of persons whom they had not seen or heard and do not know. Mr. Newell is amenable to the yDeanyery, and if he has done rong he must be tried by his peers, and a(ter trial, it the Presbytery see just cause, they can dissolve the relationship, But NO CHARGE OF HERESY OR INCAPACITY or anything else is made against him, save ina vague and indefinite way, agd yet the Presbytery are asked to release him from his pastoral charge. Mr, NEWELL remarked that the parties who were oppesed to him, as well as the Commissioners, were present and could be heard, and could also hear What was said pro and con, Dr, HALL remarked that they had not been heard yet, though the Presbytery were asked to grant the request for a dissolution of relationship, In other’ words, without knowing the merits of the case they are asked to wink hard and not see anything. He wanted tie ditficuity investigated, and for that reason suggested that a committee be appointed for that purpose and that the Presbytery meet next week in the Forty-second street church to hear the report of the committee. Drs. Paxon, Murray, Booth, Burchard, Adams, McCandlish, Robinson and others took part in the discussion. A suzgestion was made that the Pres- bytery meet in the Forty-second street church and call on the congregation to state their ditferences and let the Presbytery, after hearing both sides, render their decision in open court. AN INVESTIGATION ORDERED, Mr. NEWELL objected to this proceeding, and, sev- eral substantial reasons against it having been given by himself and others, the suggestion was not adopted. A committee, consisting of Rev. Drs. Murray, Hastings and Hatfleld and Elders J. Stewart and W. T. Booth, was aypointed to visit the church and investigate thoroughly all the facta in this case, and to report the same to the Pres- bytery two weeks hence, Adjourned, PATAL RAILROAD CASUALTY, Meyer Cohen, the youth of nimeteen years who was run overin Third avenue, near Seventy-seventh street, on the 14th ultimo by one of the Third ave- nue cars, died on Sunday in Mount Sinai Hospital.
