BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. Yesterday, Jacob Kauffman, who had been indicted in New Jersey for smuggling elastic goods and guipure faces of about the value of ten thousand dollars, was brought before Commissioner Shields, the accused having tome to this city and been arrested on a warrant ixsued by the Commissioner. Kauffman agreed to go back to Wew Jersey, and was taken there in charge of an officer. The next Criminal Term of the United States Circuit Court will be held by Judge Benedict in a new court oom, which has been hired by the federal government, at27 Chambers street. Workmen are employed in get- ting the ye —"""_ “and there is no doubt that it will be iit for occupation at the commencement of the ensu- ing term. Yesterday Judge Blatchford rendered a decision in the bankruptcy suit of Wheeler vs. Sedgwick. He directs anew trial to be granted, unless the plaintiff consents to ereduction of the amount of the verdict. The verdict wag in excess on account of a mistake in the computa- tion of interest. In the matter of the petition to have Henry M. Burtiss and George E. Blood adjudicated involantary bankrupts, Fudge Blatchford dismissed the petition with costs, hold- ing that the allegations averring acts of bankruptcy on the part of the defendants were not sustained. F. L, Taintor, the cashier of the Atlantic Bank, who is new in prison on acharge of having embezzled $400,000, tunds belonging to that establishment, was to have been examined yesterday before Commissioner Osborn, but the case did not come on, as the Grand Jury of the United States Circuit Court have indicted Taintor for the offence imputed: to him. ‘His counsel it appears, is not yet ready fo entertain the question, of bail. Not tong since we published in the Henan an aecount ‘of an attempt alleged to have been mede by Martin Cashin, a seaman, and Anna Erras, stewardess, on board the American ship Mary M. Burr, to set on fire and de- stroy that vessel while she lay at aportin South Amer- fea. Yesterday the accused were brought before Com- Missioner Osborn and committed for examination on the above charge. Two of the Ring suits against Ingersoll and Miller brought by the Board of Supervisors were submitted y terday to the Supreme Court, General Term, without argument. The understanding between counsel was that they would Await the decision until after the decision in the Court of Appeaisin the similar suits brought by the people. THE MAUD MERRILL MURDER. Beventh Day of Bleakicy’s Trial—Conctu- sion of the Medical Testimony—He Is To Be Examined This Moruing in His Own Behar. ‘The scenes yesterday in the continuation of the Bleak- ley trial, in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, before Judge Brady, were pretty much a repetition of those on the day previous. There was tne same large, eager trowd in attendance, while Bleakley, in his corner, with hisarm stillin a sling and his face “sicklied o'er with the pale cast” of a most woe-begone and melancholy expression, still kept up his unintelligible utterances, At one time he became quite demonstrative, unheeding the officers having him in charge and the thumpings of the Judge's gavel. It took all the soothing powers of Mr. William F. Howe, his counsel, to restore him to quiet. ADMITTED AS EVIDENCE. District Attorney Phelps said he withdrew his objection to the admission of Bleakley’s letters and pictures as.evi- dence. His objection was caused by doubt as to their genuineness, and of this he had satisfied himself, They were accordingly admitted as evidence. Mayor Oakey Hall said he would use them in his address to the jury. ‘The whole 4: DICAL TESTIMONY. umed in the examination of estion of the i 7 leading facts proven in the evidence, in a lunatic asylum, how his sister ¢ minitted suicide in the same institution, his own injuries on the bead, bis strong attache to this ister how he regarded him as a father to two 1 8 meces, the children of this sister, how he sent money to Englahd to bring them ov 2e here, and procured situa- tions for them; his changed dembanor aiter he discov- ered that the one whom he subsequently killed had en- tered on 8 life of shame; hi and tears, his calmness after the murder, his gt If to the po- lice, and so on, delineating wit! ctness all the Jeadit ons of the testimony. ot these P , i The first witness called was Dr. Wm.

The seme hypothetical question as put to the previous witness being asked him he gave a simi- far answer, saying he thought the accused must be of in- sane mind To Mr. Phelps—In some cases of acute mania there might be 4 knowledge of right and wrong. William T. Nealis testified that the prisoner was afflicted with hernia, and had a scar on his head and one on his neck. He described the two attempt at suicide made by the prisoner. To Mr. Phelps—I have not seen anything in the appear- ance or actions of the accused that Would make me think ‘he was crazy. Dr. James ©. Hallock, Jr., Resident Physician of the Lu- natic Asylum on Ward'sIsiand, was the next witness, and gpou the propounding of the ‘hypothetical yuestion by fr, Hail pronounced the prisoner, beyond afl question, insane at the time he committed the homicide. District Attorney Phelps cross-examined this witness at great length, but tailed in any degree to shake his testimony, the witness proving @ man of great skill and research and very profound. ™ Dr. Alfred L. Parsons had read the question in printed form “aud made up bis mind that the circumstances plainly showed that the prisoner was insane at the ime ‘of the homicide.

Phyfer, ‘end condemned to be hanged on the 16th instant, there appears to be but litte hope. Judge Barrett, of we Superior Court, to whom, on Satarday last, Mr. William ®. Howe, his counsel, applied for @ stay ot proceedings, yosterday gave his decision, denying the application. It will be seen from his written opinion embodying his Secision, which we give in full below, that he sustains in avery particular the rulings of Judge Brady, before whom the trial took place, The following is the opinion —~ ossibh Bo soyny ag OPINION, 1 bill of it is Impossible to look into the record, an¢ of ex- tions ip tis cage Without belug struck with the soru- letermine the question of | In tay judgment he had a fair trial, and the only in my mind is whether the rulings were not more favor- able to the prisoner than was bis right. Firsi—There was but one exception to the charge, viz.: to the proposition that “the design may be forme: upon the instant of doing the deed of death.” To this the learned Judge added the foliowing word ‘It is not necessary thaténe secused should brood on the act. it does not require any other deliberation than that which exists at the moment the deed is done by which the death is accomplished.” This was in accordance with the en- tire current of authority and toe express de sof the Goart of Appcala.

The request was in other words, “ iy entitled to ulous rezard to the bere i ha everywhere evinced. t risoner the benefit of any reasonable donvt which the jury may entertain, not only upon the case generally, but upon each and every specific fact necessary for thei to find before reaching @ verdict in the case, and if they enteriain any such doubt in respect to. any inatter neces- sary to susialn a verdict for either of the higher offence: itis their duty to convict of the least, and if they enter- tain any such doubt upon the whole case itis their duty to acquit” pe the learned judge very, proverly de- ¢! while clined to.

These were “specified facts” in the case “necessary for the jury to find before reaching # Verdict,” about which there was no reason- able doubt, ¢. g., the sheoting of the deceased by the pris- oner. That being proved and admitted by the prisoner, it became the duty of the Jury that it was a fact abou which they could have no doubt. The request was de- fective in other particulars as well. At all events, it is perfectly clear that it, was too broad and that the pris- oner had the full benefit of the law upon the subject of ube Third—It is also claimed that the testimony of Van Buskirk with respect to the finding of the pistol was tile- gaily admitted: Pind, however, that this testimony was Kiven without objection or exception, and the subsequent motion to strike te ont was properly denied.

If itdid there can be no doubt of the correctness of the ruling or of the power of the Court to discharge a jury under such circumstances. These are the only points upon which a stay of proceedings is claimed. In my Judgment there is no reasonable or any doubt of the cor- Tectness of any ruling sought to be reviewed, and the ap- Pllcation for’ the stay of proceedings must’ thererore be lenied. APPLYING To OTHER JUDGES. With that persistent endeavor to do all that is possible for a client while tite and the shadow of a hope remains, £0 characteristic of Mr. Howe, the latter does not prot pose to let the ease of Nixon drop here. Ho expresses his determination to reaew the application to some other Judge of the Supreme Court, and, in the event ofa like result, go before another Judge, und soon if neces- sary @ill he has carried the application before every Supreme Court Judge in the State, GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN. He-is Declared To Be Sane by the Jury Afier Being Out a Few Seconds—To Be Tried on the Original Indictment, ‘The long and weary trial as to the question of the sanity of George Francis Train has at tast exhausted itself. Toward its close little or no attention was paid tothe case, and the jury to a man seemed more than anxious to be done with it. Train himself looked wearied, too, and seemed thoronghly disgusted at the almost empty benches of the court room, Drs. Neslis and Peters were examined at some length as totheir knowledge of the state of Mr. Train's mind. The former was {aclined to the opinion that he was per- feetly sane, while the latter thought a great many of his bespoke insanity, Mr. Bell addressed the jury on behalf of Mr. Train, and, after reviewing the evidence minutely, said that the tes* timony on which it was sought to establish Mr, Train’s in- sanity Was that of those who had seen him'but a tew hours, which, on the other hand, was met by the tes. timony of those professional experts, as well as laymen of the highest intelligence, who had been familiar with Mr. Train 1m both business and social relations throughout his entire jife. No sriend or relative of Mr. ‘Train's had favored this proceeding—no friend or relative of his ever od his capacity to manage his business and his fortune, though both are very large; no friend or relation, or even social of business acquaintance, had ever doubted his sanity, though’ all knowing him to be a man of ideas pe- culiarly bis own. He had given his counsel valuable as. sistance during the investigation. No one of them would think of doubting his entire capacity to estimate his re- spousibility for the act for which he is indicted, his capa- city to deiend himself with the usual ald of Counsel on his trial, or the utter baselessness of the idea of his in- sanity. : Assistant District Attorney Lyons then briefly addressed the jury, after which Judge Daly carefully reviewed the evidence’ throuzhout. ‘The case was given to the jury at about six o'clock, who, after being out but a iew s Sy entered the court room and rendered theirverdict, which wus to the effect (hat Mr, Train was and is sane and re- sponsible for his acts. “Assi District Attorney Lyons then notified the Court, thut it was his intention to try Mr. Train as soon as possible on the original indictment BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—GENERAL TERM. Important to Savings Banks. Before Judges Daly, Robinson and Larremore. William G. Momann, respondent, vs. The Bowery Sav- ings Bank, appellant.—In this case the respondent re- covered a judgment in the Marine Court. The judgment ‘was affirmed by the General Terin of that Court, and the defendant (Savings Bank) appealed to this Court. The ground of appeal was that on the trial the defendant's counsel offered to prove by the examiner of signatures in the Savings Bank. as an expert, from the witness’ knowledge of the plaintis signature, gained trom look- ing at certain signatures of the plaintitY which were already in evidence on the trial and admitted to be gen. ine, that the drait and signature of the piaintill, which he claimed to bea forgery, were, in fact, genuine.

The first case disposed of yesterday was an indictment against a boy named George Fries, charging him with forcing open the window of the dwelling of Catherine Schacht, 169 Forsyth street, on the 26th of April and steuling $75 worth of jewelry and $7 in money. EH pleaded guilty to larceny, and was sent to the House of eruge.

The next case to which the attention of the jury was called was a charge of felonious assault, made against Peter F. Tighe, by William MeBriae, who swore that on the Sth of November last the accused fired a pistol at him, while he was going out of a drinking saloon in Frankfort street. The ball lodged in his thigh, and w: not extracted, Three witnesses were sworn for the de- statement of whose tastimony contradicted the mplainant in {mporiant particulars, The jury, however, disbelieved the evidence for the detence, and rendered a verdict of guilty of an assanit with a danger. ous weapon, with intent todo bodily harm. Tighe wus remanded for sentence. Alleged Grand Larceny. Late in the afternoon Henry Stein was placed on trial, charged with stealing sixteen pieces of Japanese poplin, on the 28th of March, which were a portion of the con- nte of s box of goods shipped to Hodges Bros. of aitimore, by Buttereld & Co., of this city.

Mr. Fullerton then rose and stated to the Court that he ‘was engaged in acase before the General Term of the Supreme Court, and would ask for an adjournment until some future day.

Before Judge Moore, Andrew McLellan, the leading policy dealer of Brook- lyn, was tried and convicted yesterday. McLellan’s shop was at No, 16 Red Hook lane, near Fulton street, and he was at one time interested in the business with Nick Duryea, who was killed by John Simmons in New York last Winter, The principal testimony against tne prisoner yesterday was one of his former cmpioyes in the shop.

How Nixon Took the News of the Re. fasal to Grant the Stay of Proceedings— Justice Pratt to be Applicd To. The decision of Justice Barrett, of the Supreme Court, on the case of Michael Nixon, failed to excite much surprise. Much comment, however, was in, dulged in, and the atrocious events of the case have been canvassed over again in manya home. It was felt that one of the last threads by whick Nixon still avoided his doom was withdrawn from him, and that he had made one more step nearer the seaffold, Mr. Wm. F. Howe, his counsel, after hearing the rendering of the decision, immediately repaired to the Tombs, and Nixen was brought to the outer room, He instinctively feit that something import- ant had happened, and asked, in a voice which his will ineflectuaily endeavored to make firm “What news, Mr. Howe ?* “Rather pad, I am sorry to say,” replied Mr. How “What is it? anxiously asked Nixon, unable to repress his emotion, ‘Judge Barrett has refused the stay of procecd- The following is the Court of App Wednesday, Ma; No: 53, 1 Ws, ‘on’s arms fel) to his side, his countenance re- and he'sauk to a chair.

Stokes maintains the careless, indifferent mien which characterizes him in his most trying mo- ments, One would imagine he was the last person in the world interested in the tate of Edward 8, ‘Stokes, over whom judges and lawyers and juries have been battling so long. He has the coolest de- meanor of any prisoner in the Tombs, and smiles and chats just as jocularly as if he were whiling away his leisure hours in the abode of pleasure and ease instead of in the Tombs—that most forbidding ‘of prisons. With his most intimate friends not a word of despair, of anger or quarrelling with his fate escapes him. He discusses everyday topics with charming nonchalance, and takes great in- terest in all the events going on in the great out- side world, Unable to see Stokes yesterday, the HERALD vonortge asked Johnston, the Warden, whether he felt anxious about the news from the General Term or downcast at the reported adverse decision. “Stokes downcast!” exclaimed Johnston. “Who ever saw him downcast ?” The prigoner believes that the decision of the General Term of the Supreme Court will be in his favor by granting him a new trial, and that if this Court does not grant it the Court of Appeals will. In the course of conversation the Warden of the Tombs told the reporter that the District Attorney had lately told him that in case the General Term decided against Stokes the matter will take precedence of all others and come up in the present session of the Court of Appeals. This is certainly news in the matter, as it‘was general. understood that the Court was so crowded wit! business that the case would not come up for trial for ten monthe—probably during the December session. If the decisions should be adverse to Stokes, his fate might be sealed by Midsummer, according to this expeditious way of doing busi- ness. A well known lawyer told the reporter that it was very unusual to Tush a matter like this 80 quickly, Murder cases, which arways do take pre- cedence of others, usually take fourteen or fifteen mouths to go through the General Term and the Court of Appeals.

Referring to the recent annual meeting of the Brooklyn Yacht Club an exchange says:—“The Brooklyn Yacht Club yesterday re-clected Com- modore Voorhis to command their fleet. This is quite an honor, as the Club has, perhaps, the largest number of yachts of any in this country. In reply to a toast proposing his health he remarked thatsome improvements were necessary, among others that the Club should have a chaplain; that the Sabbath should be religiously observed, and, as for him, hereaiter no intoxicating drinks would be allowed on board his yacht.” And upon this para- graph hangs a lite incident—that of Commodore Foorhis receiving the following congratniatory and humorous letter irom a clergyman in Plaintield, N. J., who evidently knows what great good there is in the exhilarating pastime of yachting :— Puatxriexp, N, J., May 2, 1873, Commopore Voornt Dean Sint run down iy fib and heave over my anchor for a moment—in a flying full-sail rash of minis. terial pursuits—to tell you plainly (though I admire, i deed, the man who got rich by minding his own Uusi ness) my sincere gratification at th Brought up on Huntingdon Ba: Harbor Iniet, and constantly'in the revenue yacht there, with the Department Collector, plunging and scudding about the bay, inlet and out td sea (in sinooth weather); marine correspondent of the New York papers, and an independent navigator myseit, “take a trick at the wheel” on iny own account, and doing it whenever the higher calls of my profession will allow, and believing that, for a ment worn and weary man, th i ike a 2-toot cat-rigged yacht under his hands, and that a perfect reyo- lution would follow if they would leave ashore their fastidious notions, and, coat off, go buftet the brine every Monday, ag Dr. Alphonso Willets, of Philadeiphia, can end does.

One of the most interesting parades of the year was that witnessed yesterday in Broadway, when the city was in- vaded by the gray-uniformed boys of the Forty-seventh (Brookiyn) regiment and Howitzer Battery, of the Elev- enth brigade, wno came over as the guests of the Seventy- first regiment, Colonel Vose. The Seventy-first marched from their armory in Thirty-sixth street to Wal) street ferry, where they met the Forty-seventh (Colonel Austin), and the battery, about half-past five, and escorted them to the City Hail Park, where both regiments were reviewed by Mayor Havemeyer and General Husted, the recently app ointed commander of the Third division, National Guard, who appeared tor the first time at the City Hal in full unitorm, and members of both branches of the Common Council. The marching was quite fin especially on the partof the visiting regiment, as th roceeded up Broadway to Union square. At the square They were formed in column of division, the right of the drum corps resting on, Broadway, the Seventy-tirst com- ing next and the Foriy-seventh ocoupying the lett, The regiments were critically inspected by General Hancock and General Ingalls, Colonel Colonel Lieber, Captain Wharton and Cy Ward, of his ‘staff, and @ Prussian in the showy uniform of the Uhians, After a tew m evolutions that were executed wilh dificully, owing to the narrowness of East Seventeenth street, round which the columns were formed, they wheeled inte columns ot companies and made a inari salute. This Intier marching was superb, and elicited applaase trom the great crowd assembled tn the park, Among the promi: nent gentlemen on the stand were General Messerole, of Brooklyn; Colonel Clark and ¢ ork cominand- ing and line officers, Superin nt Judge Dowling.

The Solemn Service at St. Paul’s Church Yesterday—The Reception of the Re- mains on Behalf of the Diocese of Ohio— The Departure for Cincinnati. The special services on the reception of the re- Mains of the Right Rev. Bishop Mcllvaine, of the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio, were held yesterday afternoon, at three q’clock, in St. Paul’s church. The remains were, on Monday afternoon, conveyed by @ committee of distinguished citizens from the steamer City of Baltimore to the chapel, where they reposed during the night. Scarcely any more Suitable place than old St. Paul’s for the solemn event of yesterday could have been chosen. Its vaults are the last resting place of many honored personages, and around its walls are tablets in memory of illustrious dead, In the yard sur- rounding the edifice are the graves of many of the residents of old New York, who finished their lives withont a dream of the future greatness of the metropolis of the New World. So, on yes- terday afternoon, as the organ, under skilful hands, sentJorth its low, sad intonations, the con- gregation assembled to pay a tribute of love to a most worthy and much-respected clergyman. Un- der the influence of the mournfal music, which seemed to float through the galleries and chancel of the church and to envelop the edifice in a mantle Of the deepest reverence and awe, the impressive ceremonies became even more strongly fraught with a@remembrance of what had been and what had passed away. The aisles were, to the imagination, again peopled with the faces of generations past and gone, and the pews claimed those who had owned them years ago, ‘The stranger, walking idly up the busy Broadway, stepped into the sacred edifice along with friends of the deceased—the for- mer actuated, perhaps, only by curiosity and ignor- ant of the solemnity of the occasion, the latter to testify by his presence deep and sincere affection or respect. MEMORIES OF ST. PAUL'S CHURCH. Entering St. Paul's from Broadway, the bier of the worthy dead was to be seen at the rear of the pulpit and in front of the altar. The casket was covered with a heavy black pall, and upon the top Teposed a cross of tuberand tea roses and a wreath of immortelles and japonicas. To the cross was attached a card bearing the inscription:—*To be laid upon the coffin of my dear uncle Charles.— Mrs. John E, Parsons.” The lower portion of tae casket was covered with floral offerings from many unknown friends. In looking around upon the congregation especially to be noticed was the as- semblage of aged men, who leit their counting rooms, their studios or thelr homes to be present at this solemn service in St, Paul’s. There was something inexpressibly sad in the fact that Bishop Smith, of Kentucky, who was to preside at, the Tequest of Bishop Potter, of New York, had re- ceived the episcopate and had been consecrated at the same time with Bishop Mclivaine, thirty-one years ago, in the chapel of old St. Paul; and with these memories came the sad second thought that the same church in which was begun such an hon- orable career was also to be the scene of the last service of the dead. . THE IMPOSING CEREMONY. At half-past three the organ was hushed, and the procession of bishops, clergy and laymen advanced up the centre aisle. The Kight Rev. Bishop Potter read, asthe solemn procession moved along, the opening sentences in the burial office, After the clergy had passed up into the altar the Rev. Dr. Morgan, of St. Thomas’ church, Fifth avenue and Fifty-third street, read the anthem of the Episcopal burial service. This was followed by the reading of the lesson by the Rey. Dr. Dix, of Trinity church. The 200th hymn, beginning, ‘Nearer, my God, to Thee,” was given out by the Rev. Dr. Potter, of Grace church, and sung by the congregation. ‘Then followed the “Collects,” read by the Rev. Dr. Schenck, of St. Ann's dh the Heights, Brooklyn. The venerable Bishop Smith then read and admin- istered the benediction, This closed the simple and ‘unostentatious services, It was the especial desire that there should not be any eifort at display, THE REMAINS SENT TO OIIO. The services concluded, Mr. Frederick De Pey- ster, of New Yerk, formally committed the remains to the care of the committee from the diocese of Ohio, The casket was received on the part of the committee and by them conducted to the Erie depot m Jersey City, whence they were started for Cincinnati. At that city the final ceremonies will take place. The Remains of Bishop M’Ilvaine. To THE Eprror OF THE HERALD:— Deak SiR—I find that the Custom House Inspec- tors, having in charge the steamship City of Balti- more, felt aggrieved at what they believe will be the impression made upon the public mind by the language used in the articie in this morning’s edition of the HERALD referring to the late Bishop Mclivaine and the circumstances of landing his remains. Any impression unfavorable to the con- duct of these gentlemen on the occasion rererred to would be so utterly opposed to the truth that I cannot refuse their request to repair, so far as you will permit me to do, a great injustice, however unintentional, From Mr, Guthrie, Mr. Young and Mr. McNaugh- ton, the inspectors, with whom I had todo, I received the most courteous attention and every facility tor the discharge of my mission. All, whether connected with the customs or with the ship, were emulous in their kindnesses and cour- tesies, and no obstacles whatever met me which they did not at once remove. I have, then, no feelings but those of gratitude to those gentlemen for mths, manner in ee ets discharged their duty. Iam, very respectfully yours, iA 1 Very Teepe WO LAMSON, Escort for the remains of Bishop Mclivaine. New YorK, May 5, 1873. ARCHBISHOP BAYLEY CONVALESOENT, Most Reverend James Roosevelt Bayley, Archbishop of Baltimore, has so far recovered from the indisposition which caused his hasty withdrawal from the consecra- tion ceremonies in Newark on Sunday, as announced yesterday, as to have been able to leave’ the Cathedral Tesidence in Newark yesierday and make a visit to Madi- son, where is located St, Klizabeth’s Academy, a flourish- ing female educational institution, which absorbed much ot the Archbishop's interest and solicitude when he was Bishop of Newark. He also visited New York. To-mor- row he will probably return to Baltimore. THE PATTERSON (N, J.) CITY GOVERNMENT, John J.
