Yesterday Thomas Woodward was brought be- fore Commissioner Shields and charged with de- Serting frem the American ship Nearschuz. He was held in $250 for examination. In the United States Circuit Court there has Deen filed a bill in equity by James R. Osgoed and Others vs. Albert L. and George W. Luyster, pub- lishers, of this city, praying for an injunction to restrain the defendants from selling, in violation Of the plaintiff's copyright, copies of the works of Brett Harte, printed in England. The further examination of the charge against Dr, Wright, alias John Purssey, 51 Bleecker street, of sending through the mails a box containing pills intended to effeet an immoral purpose, was reaumed yesterday before Commissioner Osborn. Evidence was given for the defence, tending to show that the accused was not the party who had committed the act charged, The further hearing Of the case was adjonrned, Yesterday the further examination of the cave of George McDonnell, who is charged with com- plicity in the great frauds upon the Bank of Eng- land, was resumed before Commissioner Gutman, at his office, in Nassau street.

The suit was agsinst the Mutual Protection Life Assurance Society of the United States. THE STOKES CASE. Conclusion of Argument of Counsel for the Prisoner—Able Legal Answer of District Attorney Phe!ps—Decision of the Court Reserved. The courtroom of the Gyer and Terminer was crowded yesterday by persons anxious to hear the closing argument of counsel for the prisoner, ‘Stokes, on the one side, and ef counsel for the peo- ple on the other. The result now lies with the Court. It is but justice to say that the forensic effort of those engaged in it was equal te the im- portance of the question, most creditable to coun- sel, aud well repaid the audience, whose interest Dever appeared to flag from the opening of the session to its close. Judges Brady, Davis and Fancher sat on the bench. CONCLUSION OF ME. TREMAIN’S ADDRESS, Mr. Tremain, of counsel for Stokes, resumed his argument, He teok up the point of his argument unfinished on the previeus evening, and proceeded to comment on the raling of Judge Cardozo on the Orat trial, in which the Judge refused to have each juror questioned separately as to his verdict en eack count ef the indictment. Counsel closed bis speech with an ELOQUENT PERORATION. @e saids—“‘And with these remarks I leave this case. Icannot conclude, however, without stating that we have le/t no stone unturned to bring this case toa speedy hearing. The issue could never have been held at this term of the Court if we had aot consented. Edward S. Stokes may be exe- cuted—an event which, I am free to say, I tnink scarcely probable—but should it be 80, we will have the consolation of knowing that we have been diligent in our efforts to bring every point in this case under your judicial consideration. We have failed, it is true, in our application for a stay of proceedings in the very Court in which our client was tried; we have failed im our application for an assignment of error, but still we have sueceeded in bringing before you the large mass Of this case, and we cannot torture our- selves in the future with the reflection “had we dene this or that we might have succeeded.” If there be any who think that the constitution is about to be destroyed and this goodly metropolis deluged with blood if Edward S. Stokes should not be hanged, whether legally convicted or not, they have no place in this sacred and holy presence. If there be any of the idolatrous worshippers of him who is dead who how! for this man’s blood, they have no place within these walls. I: there be one man in this | pore commuaity who cries out that Edward 8. Stokes be executed whether he been tried and found guilty according to the regular terms of the law or not, his voice is not heard within that doer. Edward 8. Stokes may go down in the billows with which he is now strug- ging. and not a bubble may Temain on the surface. ‘o “monument on a hill’? may be erected to his memory ; no stone to mark the spot where he went dewn, and yet his case will stand out in the records of the “causes célébres”’ ef this country. This trial has attracted the eyes of America and of Europe, and your decision will be a universal precedent of law when your memories shall have passed away. We shall be forgotten and the material of this build- shall have crumbled into dust when we know this decision shall be quoted where law ts known and erder reigns. You are the sacred ministers of justice, and | know that the voice of the mob, in the words of Cicero, “Insatiate ficte,” what they wish done to-day they wish undone to-merrow, 18 not heard in your ears, and that your decision will be according to the grand old maxim, “Let justice be done though the heavens fall.” Mr. Dos Passos, fellowing on the same side, made an appeal to have this Court review the order of Judge Boardman denying the motion for a new trial on the ground of irregularities. The Court denied the motion on the ground of want of juris- diction, without going into the merits of the ir- regularities, whieh can only be considered on an appeal for Executive clemency. ARGUMENT OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY PHELPS. District Atterney Phelps then began the argu- ment on behalf of the people, the leading points of which are as follows :— The assignment of errors in fact should be set aside and the rule entered thereon, requiring the defendants in error to join in error, shot be vacated, this whole practice having been abolished by statute. The motion for a new trial upon ‘the ound of irregularities and aewly discovered evidences should not be entertained by this Conrt, If there has been no tnotion made before, this Court has no jurisdic tion. None of the matters disclosed by the return to certtorart can be considered or are reviewable. This is an attempt to review the proceedings upon the trial ofa pre Son, issue, Which cannot be done. But if the Court should see fit to look Into the proceedings brought up by the writ of certio~ rart, they disclose no reason for disturbing this judgment. The proceedings on the preliminary trial were in effect a trial of the organization of the Grand Jury by which the indictment was found. The seventh apectal plea, negative in its form, i hee tn ‘ssn tive replication, and the only afrma- in, that Of prejudice to the pri Md trregularities, was datmear n i@ replication. There was not a article of evidence adduced upon that trial tend- to show prejudice in fact. The direction ef the Court was therefore correct. The irregularities al- leged, assuming them te be all proved, are of no avail to the prisoner. There being nothing to war- rant any other finding by the jury, the Court was right in directing a verdict. As to the motion for a new trial, it is so clearly disposed of by the opinion of the learned Judge below that it is onl; necessary to refer to that opinion and the authori- ties there cited. The denial of the motion to amend the record was clearly correct. How it could have been supposed that a motion to amend the record of edings at one term of the Court be- fore a j thereof, signed by him, was to be amended by another judge, ut another term, upon afidavits, 1s not easy to see. Mr. Phelps next considered the exceptions taken apon the trial of the cause, which are the legiti- mate topics of inquiry and review here, He con- sidered these in and noticed only those that it might be presumed would be urged here on bebaif of the plaintiff imerror. The exceptions to tive allegatt fr e Barclay va, The paatomaie oresiding Justice tn that case, jus! , whieh, even if it were not binding as authority, would compel assent from the force of ita reason- ing. Reference having been made in this respect to a decision in Tennessee, it might not be amiss to. note that, whi our statute is careful to provide for the impartial and unprejudiced jury, the Tennessee law makes no reservation of that Kind, but declares that ne citizen shall be deemed incompetent to act asa juror “by reason of having formed or expressed an opinion, &c.," no matter how firmly that opinion may be rooted. The exceptions to the testimony which was admit- ted as bearing Spon the question of metive were not well taken, the cross-examination of the prisoner he was asked (under exception) as to the hature of a complaint against Fisk in a Police Court, in which the prisoner bad given evidence upon the véry morning of the homicide, and at! these matters were clearly admissible to show mo- tive, and, being collatera), no higher evidence was required, The evidence of the minutes of the Grand Jury were offered merely as to the question of time, and evidently with the expectation of convicting them with proof of the prisoner's knowledge of the fact, in which case tl na would have been fully competent; that failing, they be- came harmless, especially in connection with the subsequent ‘admisslon by the people, The excep- tion to exclusion of evidence ought to be intro- duced to show the apprehensions and fears of the prisoner, and of Fisk’s disposition toward him, were Clearly not weil taken. The prisoner clearly could not testify as to his own SpErencnanne from Fisk without showing acts of Fisk to justify them, and there was no attempt to prove any acts by Fisk, only certain things saia or done by others, which Fisk was to be connected with by inference. The only threat from Fisk to the prisoner offered and excluded was one to “railroad him (Stokes) to State Prison,’ which was clearly inadinis- sible. Uncommunicated threats are inadmissivie, and any threats to be available to the prisoner in evidence must be of such a nature as vo justify him in apprehending personal violence and injury. The demeanor and conduct of the prisoner imme- sae subsequent to the homicide when taken into the presence of his victim was entirely competent, and the exceptions taken so strenu- ously to evidence of these are wholly untenable. ‘The other rulings upon questions of evidence will be found, upon examination, to be correct, and, besides that, to have been mainly as to matters in which no possible prejucice resulted to the pris- oner, and where they will not, therefore, if errone- ous, be ground for reversal. @ objection to the Judge's charge, that ne presented an hypothesis to the jury that had not been anggenied by counsel, is not Weil taken. Itis sought to be sustained upon the pronoaiton “that itis error fer a judge to submit an hypothesis unwarranted by the evidence.” The hypothesis was not warranted Is the evidence. It was suggested a8 something which might possibly reconcile the evidence. It is not error for a jud, to present his own theory of the facts if, after all, the decision is left to the jury. The principal ob- jection to the judge’s charge, however, undoubt- edly is that in regard to which the judge who fees the stay expressed his doubts as to the egal implication of malice frem the circumstances of the case, As to that, it is submitted that read- ing the passage in the light of the rest of the charge there is no error; if the particular pas- sage referred to be erroneous it is cured by what comes before, and more especially by what follows. There is no substantial error which wouid justify disturbing the verdict, and the judgment should be affirmed, At the conclusion of Mr. Phelps’ address Mr. Ful- lerton made a brief argument, which was princi- pally an analysis of the Judge’s charge. le con- tended that, taken as a whole, it was clearly in ac- cordance with the Jaw and did not conflict with the provisions of the statute regarding the law of mur- der, The charge upon the subject of premeditated design, he said, is plainly and distinctly conclusive thatto constitute murder there must be such a design proved upon the part of the prisoner, but the circumstances under which the murder took place in this case were sufficient to warrant the inference that such a design did exist, unless, indeed, the prisoner can satisfy the Court that the shooting was justifiable under all the cir- cumstances; but even supposing that that part of the Judge’s charge excepted to was erroneous, the error Was subsequently cured by what occurred at the close of the case. Mr. Fullerton, in support of his argument, cited at peers) of Ruloff vs. the People, and Vosbright vs. er. Mr. Tremain then closed his final argument in a most impressive appeal to the Court in his client’s behalf, urging that in view of the many strong points raised the Court should order a reversal. It was understood that the Court would not de- liver its opinion before next Tuesday week. The Court then adjourned, THEATRICAL TRIBULATIONS. Fechter’s Role of Theatrical Manager and Propriector—His Fourteenth Street Theatre Enterprise Failure—Great Ex- pectations Culminating in a Great Fizzle—Interesting Proceedings in the Courts—A Bill for Damages that Takes Down any Theatrical Bill. The advent of Charles Fechter, the actor, in this country, and the enthusiastic reception that greeted his appearance, not alone on the theatrical stage in this city, but at all the leading theatres in the principal cities of the United States, comprises one of the most familiar as well as pleasantest episodes of modern theatrica: gossip. His fame had preceded him, and everybody went to see the actor whom Charles Dickens had Pronounced the greatest actor of the times. Some may have been disappointed and learned to distrust Dickens as a theatrical critic, but Mr. Fechter could hardly have beep disap- pointed, as he gathered in the rich harvest of eenbacks crowning his venture in the New Vorid. He selected as his bankers Duncan, Sher- man & Co., the well-known bankers of this city. Everything went on smilingly—swimmingly. Mr. Fechter’s star was in the ascendant. MR. FECHTER’S BANK ACCOUNT. “You have some seventy thousand dollars on de- | veel Mr. Sherman remarked one day to Mr. C ‘. “I hope to make it a great deal more,” rejoined Fechter. nt Me ‘hat are you feing to do with your money ?”” tire one of these days and live on It.’ ‘But it is a pity to have your, money lying idle, when it might be made to bring you in very band- some returns,” “Well, what would you suggest doing with it 1’ “Buy and run a theatre on your own account.” MR PECHTER BUYS A THEATRE, Mr. Sherman at the time of this conversation owned the French Theatre on Fourteenth street. Mr. Fechter bought the theatre of him. He gave | it a new christening—the Lyceum. For a long time the public anxiously waited for its reopening, and from the printed announcement it was ex- cted that it would i far ahead of anything In the theatrical line in the city—a prophec and an expectation that might have Been fut. | filled and realized, had Mr. Fechter not been dis- | appointed in the realization of bis expectations. And now we come to the sequel of the story—we might almost say sad story—as just developed in receedings in the Courts, Itisa story that can | e briefly told, though Mr. Fechter’s lawyers, Messrs. Hall and Blandy, with the usual lawyer- | like proelivity for long drawn out verbiage, tiave protracted his complaint to some dozen or so care of closely written foolscap. This complaint, it should be stated, in the first place, isin an action brought by Mr. Fechter against Mr. Sher- man fer damages for alleged non-fulfliment of contract. This contract is embodied in the com- pilaint, and, in its opening, develops the GREAT BXPECTATIONS on which it was based. By this contract, made on July 25, 1871, Mr. Sherman agreed, a8 alleged, to sell Mr. Fechter the French Theatre for $140,000, the latter agreeing to assume mortgages’ for $90,000 on the property and pay the balance in two Separate payments of $25,000 each, the first pay- ment to be made July 25, 1873, and the last pay- ment July 25, 1874. This contract was modified aiterwar a, ret on June 8, 1872, and next on Octo- ber 21, 1872 Under the first modification Mr. Sherman agreed to execute and deliver to Mr. Fechter certain forther bay tha for securing joni daly to the latter of $60,004, which he jad then expended in repairs and alterations of the theatre. In the next modification it was | stipulated that Mr. Sherman should put the theatre | in complete running order by the 25th of last No- | vember. Mr. Fechter was to run it as manager and | roprietor, but Mr. Sherman was to appoint the reasurer, and the fend receipts were to be depos- ited with Duncan, Sherman & Co., and all the pay- ments of salaries and other running expenses to | be made on checks countersigued by the treasurer and Mr, Fechter. From these gross receipts Mr. Fechter was to be paid $1,500 a month | for his personal use. One-third of — the net profits were to kept for extra- ordinary expenses, such as buying new plays and the like. The remaining two-thirds of the net heed were to go toward paying Mr. Sherman for is advances in fitting up the theatre. The season was to continue from November 25, 1872, to July 25, 1873, and after that date the title deeds were to pass to Mr. Feehter as purchaser. One of the conditions, it should be stated, was that Mr, Fechter should play himself throughout the sea- son. The GREAT DRAWBACK to all this as Mr. Fechter avers, that while was, he fulfilled all bis portion of the ment Mr, Sherman attoriy tailed to carry oat Ris portion of the contract, fie not only expended nearly all his Money in furtherance of the project, but gave to it all his time and the bemefit of his professional ex- Peete, extending over a period, as he says, of wenty years. Instead of the theatre being in run- bm Rey peek agreed upon, Mr. Fechter, lest cut - vented from entering the puudike’ ge cts MR, FECHTER'S CLAIM OF DAMAGES. ‘The public have fora long time been aware of the failure of this grand theatrical reject, but only few have known the reason of the failure aa de- scribed above.’ Mr. Fechter, however, as his pres- ent proceedings show, was not going to let the matter quietly drop here, and hence Sie’ ante tar ad ter. Zhe alloued damages, Will be geen by below, are of rat “ ee te ftartiing charac alt PROCEEDINGS IN COURT, Upon the above complaint application was made to Judge Barrett, in Supreme Court Chambers, for €n attachment against the theatre. Judge Barrett would only grant an attachment for the amount actually expended by Mr. Fechter, that is to say, for $75,000, Messrs. Hall & Biandy interpose tho plea that Mr. Sherman is 4 non-resident, place Of sojourn, as stated, being in London, in charge of a branch establishment there of Duncan, Sherman & Co. As Mr. Duncan refused to accept service of the summons and com- jaint, @& motion was made and granted for =order — of uublica tio! 60 as to avoid tne necessity of personal service. A further order was also granted yesterday to show cause why the attachment previously granted should not be set aside, the claim being made by Messrs. Bar- jow, L ue & Mactariand, who are Mr. Sherman's lawyers, that ke is not a non-resident, but only temporarily sojourning in Europe. This branch of the case will come up for argument next Monday. Meantime the theatre is in the hands of the Sheriff and quidnuncs say that Messrs. Duncan, Sherman & Co., Who are claimed by some parties to be joint owners of the theatre, have thrown Mr, Fechter overboard entirely, notwithstanding the pend of the present guil, and leased the premises to W. J. Florence, BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—TRIAL TEAM—PAAT |. A Lesson of Caution to Expressmen. Before Judge J. F. Daty. In August last Mrs. Rebecca Brown arrived from Manchester, England, having among her luggage @ trunk containing some garments of lace, silk dresses and other wearing apparel. On an ex- amination of the contents of the trunk by the Custom House officials they were found in good order, but subsequently, on the trunk being brought to Kingsbridgevilie, where sho was stopping with a brother, they were found, as al- leged, to be considerably damaged. A Marcus B. Smith, an expressman, brought the trunk there. He was charged with being responsible for the damage, and a suit was brought against him for $250 damages, and the same was tried yesterday in this Court. Mr. John P. O'Neill made an elo- quent and forcible defence, claiming that the dam- ae occurred on shipboard. The jury failed to see the matter in this light, however, and, after pon- dering over the matter some three hours, gave a verdict for $150 in favor of the plaintia. Verdict Against the City. Charles Guidet obtained from Commissioner Van Nort the contract for furnishing stone trap blocks for repaving various streets of the city. As he could not get his pay from the city for the amount ot his bill he brought suit to compel its payment. The case was tried here Ca dend Mr. Abraham R. Lawrence appearing for Mr. Guidet, and Mr, Dean, Assistant Corporation Counsel, for the city. Mr. Lawrence made a very clear case of it, and the opposition, was the stereotyped ene of ne appropria- tion, It was shown, however, that there was an appropriation, and the Court directed a verdict for $1,786 16, being the full amount claimed. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—SPECIAL TERM. Bergh Charged with Contempt Court. Before Judge 0. P. Daly, A motion was made in this Court yesterday, on behalf of the Broadway and Twenty-third Street Omnibvs line, to punish Mr. Bergh, President of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals, for contempt of Court, for having, as claimed, violated the injunction recently granted by Judge J. F. Daly, prohibiting the arrest of drivers unless in the act of violating the law. A driver of their line, it ee was arrested on the 7th inst., and on trial before the Court of Special Sessions was acquitted. Among the witnesses for the prosecu- tron was Dr. Grier; a veterinary surgeon of torty-two years’ practice, who testified that the horse on ac- count of driving which the arrest was made was then unfit to be driven, and that when stopped he had tostandon three legs. opposing wit- nesses testified that he was being driven for exer- cise, and that his only trouble was a swellen leg. It was on account of the doubt raised by the con- flicting testimony that the driver was acquitted. Judge intimated that, in his opinion, the testi- mony of the veterinary surgeon was conclusive, and relieved Mr. Bergh from the charge of viola- tion of the injunction. Upen this intimation the counsel for plaintiff asked that the matter stand over till next Tuesday, to allow him to make a fur- ther examination into the case, and this request was granted. of TOMBS POLICE COURT. A Notorious Thicft md Counterfeiter Arraigned, Eli Brown, the notorious thief and counterfeiter, who was arrested by Detectives Livingston and Farley, of the Central Office, on Wednesday, charged with robbing Thomas M. Fuller, of Chi- cago, of $1,500 and a gold watch, was yesterday ar- raigned before Judge Ledwith at the Tombs Police Court. The circumstances and arrest were fully detailed in yesterday’s issue, The prisoner was committed without bail. A Dishonest Working Girl. Emma P. Thompson was arrested on Wednesday by Detectives Elder and McDougall, on the com- Plaint of Messrs, Wilson & Gregg, 771 Broadway. Emma, who 1s a tall, ladylike looking person, of fine address and appearance, was employed as forewoman in the store of the complainants, a few days bY she was detected stealing a shaw! valued at $! The case was put into the hands o! the detectives and they searched her rooms, No, 7 Lafayette place, and found there about one thou- sand dollars’ worth of cloaks, shawls and laces, which were identified by Messrs. wilson & Gregg as their property. Judge Ledwith held her under $2,000 bail to answer. The Alleghany Bond Robber. C. H. Hampton, charged with the ropbery of the Alleghany Railroad bond of $1,000 from the Safe Deposit Company at Pittsburg, was arraigned again inthe Tombs Police Court yesterday before Judge Ledwith, and Detective Beaver produced the requisition fer the surrender of the prisoner, endorsed by Governor Dix. The counsel’ for the defence in the meantime had sued outa writ of habeas corpus before Judge Barrett, returnable in the Court of Oyer and Terminer’ this morn- ing at half-past ten o’clock. Hampton will, until then, be transferred to the custody of the Sheriff, JEFFERSON MARKET POLICE COUAT. Highway Robbery. At the Jefferson Market Police Court yesterday, before Justice Cox, @ countryman named James Smith, temporarily at 243 West Thirticth street, charged John Dolan, of 225 West Twenty-ninth street, with knocking him down and attempting to rob him.

He offered as bondsmen Mr. Horace B. Claflin, a “certain dry | pn merchant of New York,” and Mr. Charles tacrs, Who qualified in $10,000 each. The state- ment that Mr. Bowen attempted to evade arrest on Wednesday night is false. Mr. Bowen was at his residence all Wednesday afternoon and night.

The Estate of the Late Dr. Jacob Harsen Under the Hammer---Millionaires as Pur- chasers and Millions Paid as Purehase Money. ENORMOUS PRICES REALIZED. Value of Lots Fronting Riverside Drive and Riverside Park—Enhancement in Value of Boulevard Property During Six Years—Our Fu- ture Belgra' The sale on'Change yesterday, comprising 250 lots, the estate of the late Dr. Jacob Haraen, will ' long be remembered in this city as an epuch in the history of metropolitan real estate, The property has been designated as ‘gilt edged,’’ and sach it was, if the ruling prices are any criterion to ad- judge such an appellation, The land owned by the deceased physician, in whose family the same had been for generations, is most eligibly located, ‘The opening up of the Grand Boulevard has added im- mensely to the value, and the establishment of the Riverside Park in the close vicinity has shoved these lota so far ahead that they nowrule as among the very best in the city. Judicious advertising on the part of the auc- tioneers in charge of the sale tended to draw to- gether, not only a large, but an extremely wealthy assemblage. In the salesroom we noticed several millionaires, among them R. A. Witthaus, Amos R, Eno, Mr. Mortimer, Philip G. Weaver, S. T. Mayer, Cyrus Clark, L. J. Phillips, B. K. Stephenson, Jr., George Peck, Benjamin Lehmair, William Saline and numerous others, who are largely engaged in real estate operations, not, however, a3 specula- tors, but actual investors and owners, There were, however, & great many brokers in real estate among the audience, who it was anticipated would be large buyers; but not one of them even put ina bid. At twelve o'clock precisely Mr. Adrian H. Muller, Jr., read tne schedule of property to be offered, as also the terms of the sale, which were ten per cent on the day of the sale, twenty per cent in thirty days and seventy per cent on bond and mortgago at the option of the purchaser for one, two or three years, at seven per cent per annum, after which Mr. Muller, Sr., by way of explanation, stated that each and every parcel of property offered would positively be sold, the rumors that the executers had parties present to bid to the contrary notwithstanding, THE FIRST BID made was on the corner lot located on the south- west corner of Seventy-first street and the Broad- way Boulevard by Mr. Phillp G, Weaver, who started with $26,000. Everybody looked aghast at this large sum; the bears, who had been decrying west side property in general and River- side Park lots in_ particular, began to leok fright- ened. Yet the advance by $500 at a time increased the bidding to $30,000, and finally to $82,000, which suin, alter a proper halt by the auctioneer, was ac- cepted as a final bid, and the lot on this valuable Ce was knocked down to Mr. Benjamin ichards, A sigh of relief escaped many gentlemen present whe are deeply interested in west side property, for the very first lot seld indicated that the sale of the ‘‘Harsen estate’? was destined te be a grand success, which, in fact, it proved to the end, Everything combined to favor the disposal of this valuable jand. ‘the weather was propitious, solid men appeared to be ready to purchase, and good- humor sparkled on every countenance present, ‘Thus itis not to be wondered at that the sum total footed up over ONE MILLION ONB H&NDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. The biock bounded by Tenth avenue or the “Plaza,” Eleventh (West End) avenue, Seventieth and Seventy-first streets, was sold first, and brought $552,800, which is an avel of about $8,638, upon which our predications of the previous day were based, wherein it was stated that these lots would average about $8,000 eacn. The next plot attacked by the auctioneer was the block bounded by Eleventh avenue, the Hud- son River, Seventy-first street and the portion of the property running to @ gore line, measuring sixty-two feet one inch on the street to twelve feet on the avenue. The entire front of Seventy- second street is owned by Mr. Philip G. Weaver, who purchased the two lots acing his on the Eleventh avenue, as also lots 116 and 167 on the map, thus straightening his possessions, making 126 feet front on Seventy-second street, corner of Eleventh avenpe, as also deriving a full lot on the north side of Seventy-first street, 100 feet west of Eleventh avenue. The same gentleman likewise purchased lots 127, 128, 155 and 166 (on the map), 875 feet west of Eleventh avenue, also same dis- tance thereof on Seventy-first street, TS AT $20,000 BACH. For the entire gore from Eleventh te Twelfth @venue on Seventy-second street, trontt the Riverside Drive and Riverside Park, Mr, Weaver has been offered at the rate of $7,800 apiece, pee fronts of twenty-six lots, and which he refused. Full lots on this line are held at $20,000 each. ‘The auction continued until three o’clock, closing with the sale of the water fronts extending from the south side of Seventy-second to the north side of Seventieth street, both blocks containing an area of about 162,200 superficial feet, to Mr. Clinten Gilbert for $101,500, Some few facts about property adjoining the Harsen estate may at this time not be out of the way in connection with this important sale. Ex- actl y SIX YEARS AND ONE DAY HAS ELAPSED since the estate of James Boggs was sold at _anc- tion, at the Exchange (Tuesday, April 23, 1867), *which property comprised the north side of Sev- enty-second and tne south and north sides of peventy ened streets. This land was sold at $450,000 for 200 lots and gores, when the other por- tion was withdrawn. Shortly after the Grand Boulevard was projected and the awards paid fer the fr of these two blocks taken this thoroughfare amounted to $80,000, At present the northwest corner of Seventy-third street and the Boulevard is held at $30,000, the lots adjoining, $60,000; the southwest corner of Seventy-third street is worth $30.000, three lots adjoining, $70,000, and the northwest corner of Seventy- second street and the Boulevard, 100 feet square, is rated at $110,000, and four lots, southwest corner of Seventy- second atreet and Boulevard, at $100,0000, thus figuring up for the fronts on the Boulevard a valuation of $470,000, or $20,000 more than the entire cost oi the 200 lots, besides a surplus of property remaining which may readily be put on the market and realize over one and a half mil- lion dollars, All this increase in value has taken place within six years. With progressing and contemplated improvements On the west side 1s it too much to say that within the next six years to come the enhancement of the value of property hereabdouts will be commensurate with past rates? No amount of ‘pulling or bearing’ can aflect lands situated in this part of Manhattan Island. It is “MANIFEST DESTINY”? which points to the grandeur of our “West End,” and as soon as our merchant princes find that the streets and avenues el of tne Ceptral Park have become properly curbed, guttered and sewered they will begin to erect their recon thereon, and, in @ few short years this will become the “Belgra- vi eo the Empire City. in demonstrating the brilliant future of the west side, we do not wish for one moment to retract, from the great value of property located east of the Fifth avenue. Vatues on this side have become settled to a certain extent, the number of lots on this side being limited and more generally im- proved, Fifth avenue needs no eulogy—it has a world-wide celebrity. Madison and Lexington avenues are “dedicated” to private residences, and both must ultimately become business streets— while, east of these, the encroachment of trade has already been so extensive that it has become a set- tled fact and not only a speculation. The hundred: foot streets—Seventy-second, Seventy-ninth, Eigh- ty-sixth, Ninety-sixth, 110th, all of them leading into the Park, are most desirably located and cen- tain the finest structures of dweiling houses on the island, One hundred and second street is also a first class thoroughfare, on which lots, between Fifth and Madison av es, are held at from twenty- five thousand to thirty thousand deliars each, Thus the EAST SIDE PROPERTY OWNERS have nothing to cemplain of, and are at this day as well oif, in proportion to the area of land, as the westerly portion ot our metropolis, Let Wall street operators get up cornors in gold, lock up greenbacks, or make @ combination on Tates of money by charging one hunared per cent per annum as borrowing rates, they cannot aifect Tealestate. Whoever wants to invest his means in @ manner secure irom the vicissitudes of risks and chances, and purchases landed property in New York, will ninety-nine times im every hundred come out largely on the credit side of the ledger, and not be in any danger of having bis possessions swept away by one blow, as in the case of stock Jobbing operations.

G., is being rapidly pushed forward in the mat- ter of her machinery, and within a week or two all the brasswork will be fitted. Though the joiner work is somewhat behind, it 18 progressing satis- factorily, and should nothing unforeseen occur a preliminary, or engineer's trial, trip will be made early in the coming month. Some idea can now be formed of the immense size of the America; as, with all the frame , work of the several houses intended to be placed on deck in position, there is as much room still left forward and aft as in some of our coasting steamers. Nothing but hardwood Will be used in the construction of these houses, and the effect cannot but be unique and grand. Below deek the fittings will be of the richest: nature, and it is safe to say that when the America receives her owner’s guests for the first time no steam yacht in the world will be more completes What little trial has been given her machinery at the dock resulted very satisfactorily, and the engine builders, Messrs. Fietcher, Harrison & (o., are satisfied that all their anticipations will be realized. Within a week the America will be removed from pier 86 North River, where she is now lying, to a pier near the dry docks, there to remain until completed in every department. Mr. Smith will not leave for Europe in her until the latter part of June, thus giving all yachtmen a chance of seeing her about the bay at ali the regattas te take place in that month. The schooner yacht Rebecca, formerly the propert y, of Commodore John Heard, E.Y.C., has een sold. The sloop yacht building by Munn, of Sonth Brooklyn, foy the Washington Yacht Club will probably be-named John I. Treadwell. The schooner yacht Peerless, Vice Commodore Maxwell, A.Y.C., in commission, and has already been down the bay several times. The als) also belongs to the New York and Brook- ‘nD Clubs, vine schooner yacht Resolute, Mr. A. 8. Hatch, N.Y.Y.C., 18 still at Newport, where she was laid up for the Winter. The schooner yacht Calypso, Mr. J. J. Astor, N.Y.Y.C., will have several alteratiens made in her rig before the regatta ef the Club. MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Married.
