The Criminal Term—Cantion {o Absenting Inrors—The Wallkill National Bank _Defaleation---Nolle Prosequis, OYER AND ‘TERMINER. New Indictments Against Tweed—The Qlark Habeas Oorpus Oase—Leavy, the Wife Murderer, Sent to the State Lunatic Asylum. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER OOURTS Yesterday nine of the crew of the American ship Mary L. Burr were brought before Commissioner Osborn and committed to the custody of the Marshal tobe detained ‘as witnesses against Martin Cashin, a seaman, and Anna Erras, stewardess, who are charged with having seton fire and attempted to destroy the vessel named while she lay in the harbor of Buenos Ayres, South America. The particulars of this matter have been already pub- lished in the Henatp. The case will be examined into to-day. The case of Benkard & Hutton vs. ex-Collector Schell, which was commenced several days ago in the United States Circuit Court before Judge Smalley, was given to the jury yesterday, The plaintiffs are large importers in this city, and they claim to recover the differ- ence ‘between nineteen and twenty-four per cent ad valorem duty on mouseline delaines, which duty they allege was an excess. They further claim that mouseline delaines are worsted goods, or should be classed as such, under the section of the Tariff act impos ing nineteen per cent; but the goods imported by the Plaintiffs were assessed at twenty-four per cent, under a section of the act which states that delaines should be elassed with articles made of cotton. The case was tried several yearsago. On that occasion there was a disa- greement of the jury, eleven being for the plaintiffs and one for the government. The amount involved is about seventy-five thousand dollars, and the result in this case will decide several other suits of a similar character. Up toa late hour last night the jury had not rendered a ver- dict. “Wes” Allen, en trial for the past two days in the Gen- eral Sessions on an indictment for burglary, was yester- day found guilty. He was remanded for sentence, UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT— CRIMINAL TERM. Absent Jurors—The Wallkill National Bank Defalcation. ‘The May criminal term of the United States Circuit Court was opened before Judge Benedict yesterday. The panel of petit jurors was called, but only seventeen of the whole number were in attendance. The criminal calendar was not called ; it will be called to-day, and the Court ordered the non-attending jurors to show canse why they should not be fined in the sum of $150 each. On the motion of Mr. Bliss, United States District Attor- Rey, Lualle prosequia were entered In the following cases — Willett Ferguson, perjury: Nicholas Dall, false, income returns: William m, embezzling tunds ot the Wallkill Ba: Marcus Newman and others, conspiracy to defraud;' Anton Hupfel, Mlegally Fentatvde beer at the Morrisania distillery ; Bernard less, breons| ing a Prk oge Gebeos ith; pis f e number of nolle prosequis entered was twenty-nine. There were fifty-five exonerations in cases wherespoor nizances had been vacated and the bondsmen of detend- ants released from their bonds. The indictment against William M. Graham for em- bezzling funds belonging to the Wallkill National Bank is an old one, but a new one has been found against Mr. Graham, and it is understood that he will be tried upon itduring the present term ef the Court. A similar re- mark will apply to the indictment against Simon Donau and others, upon which a nol. pros. been entered. ‘They also will be tried upon a new indictment, charging them with conspiring to defraud the government. The Court adjourned till to-d: > B COURT 6F OYER AND TERMINER. The New Indictments Against Tweed— The Clark Habeas Corpus Case—Leavy, | the Wife-Murderer, Sent to the State | Lunatic Asylum—A Barroom Homicide. Pefore Judge Davis. The expected long drawn out argument upon the ques, | tion whether William M. Tweed shall plead or not to the | batch of fifteen indictments found against him by the | late Grand Jury did not take place yesterday morning, | greatly to the disappointment, doubtless, of the large crowd in attendance. The counsel, who were presentin full force, talked over the matter among themselves, and finally it was concluded, as @ matter of accommoaation to some of them having causes to try in other Courts, to postpane the argument till this morning. THE MOTHER AND HER CHILD. Having put off the Tweed case, the Court took up the dispute over Frank Clark between his mother and bis foster parents, which was before the Court on Tuesday, The child was brought into court. Mrs. Horey gave her story to the Court, which was to the effect that she received the child to nurse, with a promise ot $12 per month, of which but a small part had been paid. Ihe mothe! Practically abandoned the child for nearly a year, She also charged that the mother was a woman of” bad character. These allegations were denied on behalf of the mother, and it was also asserted that Mr. and Mrs, had concealed themselves, leading to the offer by Mrs. Ulark oi a reward of $50 tor discovery. An arrangement had been made by which part of the money for the keeping of the child should be paid and the rest secured, but the respondents retused to complete it. Judge Davis adjourned the case till to-morrow, saying that perhaps an arrangement would be made in the meantime. He should inquire into the charges avainst the mother, and if he ound them true should cortaitiy not give a child to her care, The child will remain in fis present custody until a decision is rendered. A CRAZY WIFE MURDERER, Patrick Leavy was tried on a charge of killing his wife, the indictment against him being inanslaughier in the first degree. | He eiended by Mr. Abe H.

COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. “Wes” Allem Convicted and Remanded for Sentence—The Court Adjourns Out of Respect to the Memory of the Late Judge Strong. Atthe opening of the Court yesterday ex-Judge Beach and Mr. Charles Brooke, counsel for William Sharkey, indicted for murder in the first degree, moved @ post ponement of the trial in consequence of important pro- fessional engagements. After some discussion between Assistant District Attorney Russell and the counsel His Honor set the trial down tor the 27th inst. ‘The trial ot Wesley Allen was then resumed, and, the evidence having been closed on the previous day, Mr. Howe proceeded to address the iy. ie contended that if the jury convicted on such slight circumstantial evi- dence it would be because of their prejudice against him g SonmeqaEnes of his being previously convicted in pr Me "Kastatarit District Attorney Russell followed in as an ef- fective an argument ay wasever made in the General Sessions, in which he not only brought out all the strong circumstances established by the witnesses for the prose- cution, but in a humorous and sarcastic strain criticised he testimony for the defence, Sudgo Sutherland delivered a lengthy charge, and sn & number of propositions which Mr. Howe sed uj Poqueston him tocharge. “the jury. were absent’ only & time when they returned with this verdict :— ‘Guilty of an attempt to commit burglagy in the third de- gree, after @ tormer conviction of grand larceny as charged in the indictment.” Assistant District Attorney Russell requested his Honor to remand Allen, as he wistiea to try him upon another indictment. Thé prisoner was remanded to prison. The Death of Judge Strong. The Assistant District Attorney then announced the death of ex-Judge Strong, who for many years had filled the office of Judge of the Supreme Court with great ability and probity, and moved that the Court adjourn out “ot respect “to his memory. Colonel Spencer eloquently seconded the motion. Judge Sutherland, in directing the Clerk to enter the motion upon the minutes of the Court, sald that Judge Strong was an able jurist, and he never had heard the least imputation against the purity of his character. The Court adjourned till this morning. TOMBS POLICE COURT. Robbing a Roommate. Charles Pierson and a man named Terence Foley were rooming together at 1,263 Broadway, and on the l1th of May Foley rose at a very early hour and left. Shortly after his departure Pierson missed a gold watch and chain, worth $80, and $17 in money. He suspected Foley and itnmediately went in search’ of him, Me learned that Foley had been arrested for intoxication, and sent to the Island for ten days. A watch and chain found on e time of his arrest were identi- latter's property. | Foley was ‘nd and committed to answer, The William Street Attempted Homi- cilde—Dr. Brown in Court. About half-past one yesterday the notorious so-called “Dr.” Edward M. Brown, who has already been ar- raigned before Justice Dowling for an assault committed on Sandford Murray, on the 15th of April last, was brought up again to answer the direct charge of his vic- tim, whose injuries have hitherto prevented his atten- dance in Court. The following isthe affidavit of Mr. Murray on which His Honor Justice Dowling, recommitted the prisoner without bail. In answer to the usual questions the an- cient Doctor acknowledged himselt seventy-one years of age, although three weeks ago he claimed to be butt sixty. Sandtord Murrey, of 127 South Ninth street, Wil- liamsburg, being ‘sworn, deposes and says:— * On Tuestay, oth of April, 1878, at the city of New York and the county of New York, Was violently and feloni- ously assaulted and beaten by Edward M.

Deponent exclaimed, “My God! Doctor, do you want to kill me?” when said Brown threw the weapon on the ground, and deponent attempted to escape trom room and tound the door locked. Deponent then re- collected that when he sat down he heard the lock click in the door. said Brown then took the hatchet (now shown) from his bosom and raised it and stepped towards deponent and attempted to strike him, but he caught it descending and took it from him after a short struggle. Deponent then struck Brown with the hatchet, knocked him down and stepped back to open the door, when said Brown attempted to get up and deponent struck him again. Deponent then broke off the latch and had to unloek the door betore he could get itopen. He stepped out in the hallway, but recoliceting that he threw his money down on the ‘floor during the struggle immediately returned to the rooi and Oiticer Harris arrived and took Brown into custod: that said Brown attempted to rob deponent, and so as: saulted and beat him, with a felonious intent to take the lite ot deponent or todo him bodily harm, without any Justification on the part of the said assailant.

The preparations for the execution of Luigi Lusignani, the Italian wife muraerer, have been all completed, and everything is in readiness for the closing scene in the dread tragedy. The ex- citement in the town is intense, and among all classes of people the intensest commisseration is felt for the fate of the poor Italian, Now that his end is approaching, sympathy is willingly extended to him, and it is generally felt that the many ex- tenuating circumstances which surrounded his crime should have lessened his punishment and saved him from an ignominious death. To-day, THE LAST DAY ON BARTI of Lusignani, was devoted by him to prayer and devotion. By every means in his power he strives to prepare himself for his approach- ing end, and he listened eagerly to the spiritual advice and consolation tendered him by Father Vassalo, an Italian priest from Orange, who has, since the death sentence was passed, been unremitting in his attention to his unfortunate countryman. The stories which have been published in the local papers about the reckless demeanor and profane language of the prisoner are nearly all incorrect, the bright at- tachés of the local lights, mistaking the natural gayety and light-heartedness of the Southern race for unconcern and hard-heartedness, THE SORNE IN THE OFLL of the Itailan to-night was peculiarly affecting. In company with Father Vassalo the reporter of the HkKALD was permitted to have an interview with the prisoner, and the calm resignation and courage displayed by the latter was the theme of general praise, Lusignani was dressed in deep black and wore & white rose in his buttonhole, His lace was deadly pet, but he displayed no appearance of trepida- ion and was more by Saale a cooler than any other person in the cell, He recognized the Heratp reporter, having seen him before, and warmly greeted him, There was nothing of the bravado about Lusignani, his conduct being perfectly natural and self-possessed. In answer to a question from the reporter he stated that he was Z PERFECTLY RECONCILED TO DIF and had no fear of the future. While saying this he grasped the hand of Father Vassalo and ex- pL “No one who is a good Catholic 18 alraid to dio.’ He then stated that the stories which had been published about him in the local papers were entirely false; that he had indulged in no pro- fanity, and never had any intention of starving himself to death, The only objection he made to his food was on last Friday morning, when he objected to Gee the half-cooked meat which was set before him. He very naturally refuses to eat the prison fare so long as he has the opportunity of partaking of the more dainty viands which are freely provided for him, "This morning Father Vassalo, on visiting the prison, asked Lusignani what he would like to eat, and he replied that he wished to have some Italian soup and beefsteak, which were provided for him, He ate sparingly, but he was considerably refreshed and talked cheerfully with the persons who came to visit him, When the reporter was bidding Lusignani good night the latter was VISIBLY AFFECTED but showed no signs of pec Father Vassalo and Father Ronaldo will remain in the cell with the prisoner all through the night, The last offices of the Church will be administered about nine o'clock im the morning, and the prisoner will be escorted to the scaffold by Father Vassalo and the pastor of the parish. The gallows is erected right in the rear of the prisoner's cell, but a screen conceals it irom his view. The Court House in the morning will be sur- rounded with special constables, and no person who is not provided with a pass will be aamitted. About one hundred and twenty-five passes have been issued, but applications by the thousand have been made, which the Sheriff has been, of course, compelled to refuse. The execution will take place at eleven o'clock, and, when life is extinct, the body wiil be cut down and interred in the Catholic graveyard. ‘ TREMBLING IN THE BALANCE. Argument in the Case of Nixon Yester. day in the Supreme Court, General Term—A Decision To Be Given This Morning—Resignation and Demeanor of the Condemned Man—His Spiritual Attendants—The Preparations for His Expected Execution. Nixon's indefatigably faithful and persevering counsel, Mr. Wiliam F, Howe, is still using his utmost endeavors to obtain for his client a length- ened lease of life. With this view he made appli- cation yesterday before the Supreme Court, General Term, Judges Ingraham and Davis on the bench, for a hearing in the case, Judge Ingraham said that if the intention was to apply for a stay of proceedings the Court could not entertain such application, but that it it was the desire of Mr. Howe to argue the case upon excep- tions taken at the trial they would hear the argu- ment upon a writ of error. Mr. A. H. Hummel, the associate of Mr. Howe, upon this announcement, accompanied by Mr. Lyons, Assistant District Attorney, at once went betore Judge Fancher, sitting in Supreme Court, Chambers, and upon stating the case to the latter Judge he promptly granted a writ of error, Mr. Lyons meantime having moved the preliminary notice usually required in such cases, Mr. Howe announced to the Court the procure- ment of the writ of error and thereupon the Court— and certainly it would scem an act of very kind consideratien under the circumstances—suspended. all other business before it and listened to Mr. Howe’s argument. He spoke at great length and most ably and ieelingly. Tne points of his argue ment were the same, though elaborated at more eloquent length, as in his argument before Judge Barrett, whica was published in (ull in the HERALD. His exceptions, it will be remembered, were, tirst, to the panel; second, to a portion of the evi- dence, and third, to the reiusal of Judge Brady to charge one of his requests bearing upon the question of doubt as to auy specific facts. In the course of his remarks, however, he paid a high compliment to Judge Brady, and said that no man ever received a fairer trial than that given In connection with his own points he also submitted those given by ex-Mayor A. Oakey Mall in his argument before Judge Prau, of Brooklyn, Which points have likewise been pube Nished in tullin the HERALD. The iegal ability dis played in these points, he said, could not be aime said, and, discarding lis own ‘ieeble eiforts in the case, he felt assured that they would have a con- trolling and, ne hoped, lavorable influence upon | the minds of the Cov Mr. Lyons pursued ame line of argument as in his response to Mr. Howe before Judge barrett. At the conclusion of the argument Judge Ingra- ham said that they would give their decision this morning. APPLICATION TO OTHER JUDGES, In order to leave no stone unturned, Mr. Howe -has within the past two days applied tor a stay of proceedings in Nixon’s case betore Judges Miller and Daniorth, of Hudson; Judges Grover and Leonard, of Albany, and Judge ingalls, of Troy. He hopes that, in case the Supreme Court, General Term, give an adverse decision, some of these Judges may grant the stay, PREPARATIONS FOR THE EXECUTION, In the meantime preparations for the execution of Nixon go on as usual. Cards of invitation for the execution were issued yesterday from the Sherif’s ofce. Nixon has eXuibited’ exemplary patience and resignation under the terrible load of grief which must now assail him. He does not compiain @f his fate, but, on the contrary, says that all that could be done has been done and he ex+ pects no more, Nixon's wile attends him daily and remains with him a great part of her time, She is greauly cast down, but bears up bravely against her dfliction. Miss O'Reilly, the female philanthropist, also visits him daily, as do the Sis ters of Mercy, and Father Duranquet is with Nixon almost constantiy. Nixon 18 very attentive to his religious duties, and appears to have done his best soyercs repentance, His fate wili be decided 0-day. CONSUL GENERAL GARSIA. No, 151 BROADWAY, New York, May 13, 1873.

Ty- feuding M 2 ing May ity THE NEW BOARD. Upen the conclusion of this busmess Colonel Clarke, the Secretary, was confirmed in his posi- tion. Nothing was sald of Sanitary Superintendent because Dr. Janes is to continue in that place, Captain Griswold is also to retain his pesition in the Sanitary Bureau. The only changes at present contemplated direct themselves towards the De- partment of Records and some minor officials of the Health Department. One of the most striking characteristics of the new Board 1s its strong con- trast to the old one. The members present a | steady, business air, and go about the work as if they meant what they were at. Each man thor- oughly understands the subject of hygiene, and brings to the Board mature knowledge and @ practice refined by experience. ‘The low comedy business nas disappeared with the rotten and cumbersome old institution, and laugh- ter during the deliberations of the Board is an ele- ment that seems likely to be eliminated by the gentlemen now entrusted with the care of the city’s health, It appear sad that the chair of so clever an acrobat and pantomimist as Mr. Manierre should be left without even a grimace to tickle its elbows, but such evidently is the terrible and dreary fate awaiting it. The quips and jibes of the Presidential Dogberry will be lamentably missed; but, In view of the additional amount of sertous benefit the people will be treated to, the calamity can be sustained, YACHTING. Launch of the Schooner Yacht Aricl=Her Dimensions and Accommodations, The handsome schooner yacht Ariel, built by Messrs. Poillon Brothers, foot of Bridge street, Brooklyn, for Commodore Wiiliam L. Swan, of the Seawanhaka Yacht Club, was successfully launched yesterday morning in the presence of a large num- ber of delighted spectators, By ten o'clock the workmen of the yard stood in readiness to com- mence knocking away the shores; but the word to begin this ak eae tg business was not passed until several minutes later, when, being continued with alacrity, the gallant eraft, amid a prolonged shout from those on board, gracefully dipped to her proper element at eighteen minutes of eleven o’clock, a iriend of the owner naming her at the opportune moment. It will be remembered that the Ariel was con- structed after the model of the schooner yacht Clio, built at the same yard this season for Mesars, Asten & Bradhurst, and there is every reason to believe that she will possess all that Mr. Swan de- sires—speed and weatherly qualities, Although before published in the HERALD, it is not now amiss to give the dimensions of this yacht, which are as foliows :—Length of keel, 62 feet; length on water line, 57 feet 6 inches; length on deck, 62 feet; length over all, 70 feet; breadth of beam, 18 feet 7 inches; depth of hold, 6 feet. The frame is of white oak and hackmatack, the planking of oak and the deck of white pine, All the materials used in ber construction are of the best possib:e kind, and much heavier than is usually put in pleasure vessels of her class. The Ariel is so far finished that it will require but a fortnight or three weeks to complete her, when it is the intention of her owner to have a little trial sail with the Clio, just to ascertain how matters work, The di- mensions of the spars are as follows:—Foremast, 68 feet; Mainmast, 63 feet; joretopmast, 28 feet; maintopmast, 30 feet; mainboom, 45 feet ; foreboom, 19 feet 6 inches; maingaif, 25 feet; foregait, 19 ets fying jibboom, 12 1eet; bowsprit, outboard, 20 feet. Much of the interior joiner work is in position, and, therefore, an idea can be jormed of its char- acter. Benne, the yacht will be elegantly fin- isned throughout. There will be three staterooms with hardwood trimmings, which will Be uphol- stered in the prettiest imaginable taste. The saloon will also be in hardwood finish and fitted in tne best possible style, while the accommodations for officers and men will not be interior to any boat of her size in these waters. The Ariel, it is understood, will be added tothe New York and Atlantic Yacit Club fleets, and, no doubt, will con- tend for the prize of her class in the coming re- gattas of these organizations, Bayonne Yacht Ciub.
