\ ‘ CLEVER COUNTERFEITS. Fraudulent Paper Coming Upon All Sides. The Police Hopeful of Capturing Some One. OLD BROWN COMMITTED. Rumors of Still Other Forged Bank Notes. STARTLING STATEMENTS. The large forgeries of railroad and other bonds ‘which have so startled the commercial community for some days past have awakened a manifest {eel- img of suspicion for all classes of securities. Not that the prices realized are below what they have commanded for a week past, but because there is Jess inclination to invest money in that fleld. The realization likewise that counterfeit $500 Treasury motes are not above suspicion, has probably ren- dered them somewhat scarcer around Wall street, Up to three o'clock yesterday ten of these motes had been presented at the Sub-Treasury. The extent of the injuries inflicted by the forged bonds has not all been learned yet, and much will, @oubtiess, always remain a mystery. Those who have been duped have, 80 far as possible, avoided publicity and what has been obtained has required the most indefatigable work of newspaper men. The strangest feature, probably, of the arrest of Brown is that several prominent bankers speak in the highest terms of him. This is, dountiess, some consolation to the prisonerin the Tombs. Chief Matsell is confident of final success in the capture of the forgers, although they are now ‘‘scattered to the winds.” He says that although Williatuson is still at large the detectives are close on his heels, WHAT THE CHIEF SAYS, Chief of Police Matsell was found in his office yes- terday, and in reply to the inquiry of a HERALD reporter said:—‘I can only say that the case is being followed up thoroughly and with the best hopes of final success.” “What abont the mysterious arrest made on Tuesday night?” asked the reporter. “I have nothing to say about this arrest.” “Is the man Williamson “He is not Williamson; at least ifhe is we do not _ know it.” “Have the bonds already captured been clearly proved counterfeit ?” “I am glad to be able to say that, after examina- tions which were concluded this morning, there is nolonger any question as to the forgeries, A gentleman has just left who has assured me of the fact. This takes a millstone off our shoulders, as the police could not convict until this fact was established. Although the public has not veen in- formed of the tact there were at first grave doubts as to whether this could be established.” “Old Man” Brown £ommitted. ‘The examination in the case of Leonard Brown ‘Was continued yesterday afternoon, At one o'clock precisely Mr. Wm. H. Field, counsel for the defence, and several witnesses made their appear- ance in the examination room, As soon as Judge Dowiing took his seat Mr. ‘Thomas Hislop, a lawyer, residing at Twenty-sixth street and Lexington avenue, was called to the stand. He said that he had known the prisoner (Brown) for eight years, and as far as he had heard’ his character was unexceptionadle; He did not think he was capable of committing the crime he was charged with; he knew his family socially and believed Mr. Brown to be an honest man. On being cross-examined by Judge Dowling he said that he had never heard any one speak of Mr. Brown except Mrs. Fletcher, with whom he (His- lop) boarded, Xnd members of her family. Outside of ee he never heard Mr, Brown’s name men- toned. Mr. George E, Warner, of No. 374 Washington avenue, Brooklyn, clerk in the Mechanics’ Bank of New York, testified that he had known Mr. Brown Jor over thirty years and NEVEK HMARD ANYTHING AGAINST HIS CHARACTER. On the cross-examination he said:—I never heard his character brought into question, but my own opinion of him has been very favorable. George W. Brainerd, No. 113 West Sixty-first street, was the next witness, He knew Mr. Brown for thirty years and he never heard anything inst his character. ‘overt M. Field, No. 39 East Forty-fifth street, and Mr. George N. Cook, manufacturing jeweller, testified that they had known Mr. Brown for a long time and never knew anything against him. All these witnesses were asked by Justice Dowling if they ever had heard his (Brown’s) character brought in question, and they invariably answered that they never had, Mr. Fields, alter his witnesses for character were exhausted, asked jor an adjournment, so that he ‘ht produce others, among them ex-Surrogate Gideon J. Tucker. Tue Court denied the motion for an adjournment and counsel commenced at once to sum up. He made a long, forcible and telling speech, in which he reviewed ail the testimony belore the Court, and contended strongly that there was nothing in the whole evidence to convict the pris- oner of any guilty kuowledge. Judge Dowling listened to Mr, Fields patiently ere and then gave his decision as fol- WWs i— THR PRISONER COMMITTED, It is evident irom the facts brought before me that @ forgery has been committed. As to the ‘isomer, according to the evidence produced, here is probable cause to by oa that ne was cognizant of the kind of bonds he was trying to negotiate. Perhaps, as the counse! suggested, he was only the tool im the hands of designing men; — nevertheless, I will commit the prisoner, and commit him without bail. I eel sorry for him, ag he js an old man, aud a maa who has a family. ii he would furnish information to the authorities or to the District Attorney that would lead to the apprehension of this gang of forgers and counter- Seiters Ldon’t think much harm would come to him. There is a large crowd of these men and all Oi them ought to be known. Disappearance of Gleason, Roberts, Har- greaves and Engels. In the HERALD of last Tuesday were published the names of leading men who are alleged to have flooded Wall street with bogus bonds. The follow- ing were the names of the t © worthies men- tioned, who are now, in police pariauce, “scarce :"— Frank Gieason, of Sixteenth street, au old burg- Jar; Andrew Roberts and the “‘scratcher,” Gottlieb Engels, of No, 243 East Seventy-eighth street, who @id the signatures and filling up of the bonds, When the cat was let out of the bag last Saturday by the fight of Williamson the triumvirate of lead- ers, as mignt be expected, took to their heels. It was reported yesterday in police circles that advice has been sent to Mrs. Martha Hargreaves, who left this city a few weeks age for England in company with Sheridas, with a large amount of forged bonds, to suspend operations till the pres- ent storm has biown over. Martha Hargreaves Was a constant visitor at the Ludlow Street Jail upon McDonnell, the Bank o! England forger, now sentenced to imprisonment for lie for forgery on the old lady of Threadneedie street. Martha, who 38 an old iriend, used to bring McDonnell jetters and messages trom the “boys.” It was stated inadvertently in last_ Tuesday's HERALD that Walter Sheridan, Mrs. Hargreaves’ companton, whe left for kngland, as above stated, some six weeks ago, had served five years for rob- bing the Adams Expre: mpany, It should have been Andrew Roberts, Frank Gleason, the burg- lar’s fldus Achates, the two being inseparable, Since the publication of the article in last Tues. day's HERALD, Hargreaves, who was seen in this city as late as last Week, has disappeared, INTERVIEWS IN WALL STREET, Yesterday the HERALD contamed a communica- tion from Lamvert, a prisoner in the Tombs, givin, “Qld” Brown’s references. In conversation wit! one of them, Mr. James B. Colgate, the banker, of 47 Wali street, on the subject, ho saia:—1 have known Brown for a great many years, and know nothing bad about him. [have lent him money in small sums when he needed it, and he has always repaid. Ishouid be giau to be of use to.nim iff could, for J believe he is a dupe in this matter. 1 consider him too old to commence a career of crime. He is very poor, I believe, and rogues gen. orally, have money. My family used te visit and they were thought very respectable ana worthy citizens. Alll have to say, therefore, is that I be- lieve Mr. Brown to be an honorable man. A Visit We paid to the office of Mr. Shephera Knapp, in Wall street. He had left for the day, but a nd of Mr. enepe said that Mr. Knapp had known Brown (or the last twenty yea THE METHOD OF BOND SWINDLING, ‘Phe air in Wall street was full yesterday of re- Ports that several of ibe bond forgers had been NEW YORK HERALD. captured.

The rumored appearance on Wall street of several counterfeit bank bills on the State Bank of Havana led to some inquiry by a HERALD reporter yesterday. Nothing to corroborate the romor could be learned. It was ascertained, how- ever, that an engraver doing business at No. 185 Bowery had been visited in the early part of June last by @ Spaniard, giving the name of José Géner, Agent of the State Bank of Havana, The stranger introduced himself to Leonard Anderson, the engraver, by stating that he had just returned from Berlin, with a friend, where they bad been for the Maal ooag of having some work done, but that, not being successful, there, they had sought him as a man who could do what they wanted. Several informal interviews Look place, but Géner and his companion could not be induced either to state the class of work which they wanted done, or to give their orders. This awakened THE SUSPICIONS OF ANDERSON, but he determined, after consulting a friend, to encourage wwe men. ‘They, finally, were made to believe that Anderson was willl to undertake anything for them. Géner then sai that he wanted some plates engraved for mal cigar revenue stamps. After obtaining an impli consent to do this Géner threw off the mask, and, laying down a $300 note on the Bank of Havana, said that what he really wanted was a perfect fac- simile of this, at the same time offering $5,000 for the plates, Noticing Auderson’s hesitation Géner Temarked that there was no danger, as he AN UNCLE IN HAVANA, who was influential enough to put the bills through, ge or bad. Anderson communicated with Charles i. Reed, Jr., a detective, but before the arrest could be made Géner sailed for Havana, On auly, 10 the detective visited the Spanish Consul an 1aid the whole matter before him. Affidavits were prepared and forwarded to Havana. The Presi- dent of the Havana Bank was in Sarat and was written to, but, apparently, desired to avoid doing anything in the matter. The case has evidently been hushed up, for the Spanish Censul in New York has not, after waiting eight weeks, received any advices from Havana. This story is given for what it is worth, and may be a clew to the source from whence comes the spurious bank notes, The Counterfeit $500 Bills. Yesterday a HERALD reporter visited the Fourth Nationa! Bank, Mesers. Duncan, Sherman & Co., the Park Bank and First National Bank, in order to ascertain if any new developments had taken Place in the $500 counterfeit scare. Mr. A. Lane, Cashier of the Fourth National Bank, stated that only one note had been passed througn that bank. It came in the usual course of business from the First National. There was nothing about the bill to excite suspicion ; it was well executed, and, ata casual glance, would easily escape detection. Tne “note was afterwards sent to the Sub-Treasury to be exchanged for small bills, There it was sub- mitted to the inspection of Mr. G. W. Marlor, and he instantly PRONOUNCED IT A COUNTERFEIT and had it branded as such. A similar note had been passed into the Sub-Treasury on Monday and suspicions had been aroused. All notes of $500 were, therefore, subjected to a rigid scrutiny and submitted to Mr. Marlor for judgment. Mr. G. F, Baker, cashier of the First National Bank, stated in reply to the reporter that the first intimation he had of the matter in question was a message from the Fourth National Bank to the effect that @ $500 bill received trom the First Na- tional proved to be a counterfeit. Mr. Baker says he is unable to ascertain from whom _ the bill was received. If it was taken in the First National it escaped detection, but he thinks there is some mistake, and would go so far as to any that his bank passed the note to the Fourth National. Mr. Baker has been ill recently, and apparently had not directed much attention to the subject; but he promised that to-day he may be able to speak more definitely, and may possibly explain the “mistake.’’ Mr. Greive, of the firm of Duncan, Sherman & Co,, stated that A STRANGER FROM SOME PLACE OUT WEST deposited one of the $500 counterfeits with the house in exchange for bitis on Europe, where he Was about visiting. The note was soon detected to be aforgery and the party, whose name was not given, was advised of the matter and ailowed to make good the amount. That was the only bill of the kind passed throngh the house of Duncan, Sherman & Co. ‘The money teller of the Park Bank was some- what more interesting. He produced one of the counterfeits, a well-executed $500 bill, receivea on Monday morning from their correspondent at Danktrk in this State, an express pack: from there, containing about $2,000, was received by the teller, and on counting it over he noticed this $500 bill, the only one of the same denomination in the package. Its feelat once arrested his attention, and having read the HERALD containing an account of a counterfeit of that value being in circulation, he at once detected the note as being a forgery. The most material diiference between the counter- feit and the real note is, the former has the back- oe of the medallion portrait of John Quincy dl lams somewhat roughly engraved, the lines are far apart, heavy and not so well executed as in the real _ note. The neckcloth of the portrait is also somewhat rough and slovenly executed; it lacks the graceful folds observable in the genuine note. Then the Patel is of itself a sure means of detection in the ‘ands Of any person accustomed to hanale bank notes. It 18 thick and heavy, almost of the sub- stance of cartridge paper, only it is hard pressed and of a whiter tint than the ordinary greenback. The silk which is usually woven through the paper in the original article is in the counterfeit confined to the right hand side, near and above the portrait of Adams, and on examination shows to have been put on aiter the paper was made and not worked into the fibre of the sheet. The back is well ex- ecuted and would defy detection but for the pale- ness of the ink. It lacks the decided tone oi the genuine note. The reporter next visited the Sub- ‘Treasury and saw Mr. G. W. Marior, who was the first to detect the counterfeit. Thfee of the bills. passed through his department, and, alter being branded with the word “counterfeit,” were sent on to Washington, Mr. Marlor thinks there are about A DOZEN OF THE BILLS IN NEW YORK, but the bankers “hang shy’’ and do not wish to ac- knowledge that they have been victimized. He thimks thet the bilis have been started out West and that the banks out there are flooded with them, Colonel Whitley, however, is of opinion that the plate was got up in Europe. Mr. Marlor points to the fact of the note received at Duncan, Sherman & Co.'s being received froma Western man, and that received by the Park sank coming from the same direction. Are the Bank of Engiand Forgers the Clever Artists‘In This Casel=A Great Combination. Itis asignificant fact that almost by intuition the Bank of England forgers, now under sentence of imprisonment for life, are regarded as the central figures in this great group of forgeries, and it is believed would afford, ff proper influences were brought to bear upon them, much Valuable information in connection with these peculiar fiduciary operations, ‘There is every reason to believe that the men above named in connection with the Bank of England forgeries set on foot a monster combina- tion, the success of which inwolved millions of dol- jars. It is natural to suppose that, while expend- ing large sums of money in the construction of the fine anu delicate machinery required tor engrav- ing one class of securities, they would likewise apply it to others, and it is by no means improbable that the legal tenders Of the denomination of $500 (of which stJl another was received at the Sub- ‘Treasury yesterday from the Irving Bank), de- scribed as being so perfect in their imitation of the original, came trom the same fountain head. Au incident, which corroborates this theory, is the fact in connection with the woman Hargreaves, above mentioned, as @ frequent visitor of McDon- neli while in custody in this city. It is nota dim. cult matter to trace the relationsbip between McDonnell and the paoquet ol New York Central, Buffalo and Erie, and Propet other bonds, which have not been identified among the fraudulent issues. All the signs point to the existence of a great combination of the most adroit forgers ever known in America, and it behooves the business commu- nity in all their dealings with every class of paper, to be exceedingly watchful, to the end that all jaise issues may be speedily discovered and rooted out, and public confidence be thus restored. It 18 to be hoped that McDonnell and the forgers will be ifiterviewed by the proper authorities in order to secon ene what ing nate lon they 1 seas upon this all engrossing subject, and ti question is asked, would It not be 80 even if inducements are offered by the United States overnment, in the shape of a recommendation to fie English government, ior r remission of their life-long sentences ? PANNY HYDE RELEASED ON BAIL, Mre, Fanny Hyde, the murderess of George W. Watson, her employer, was released on bail in the sum of $2,500 yesterday. Mr. Daniel Gallagher, of 686 Butler street, became surety for her appear- ance. She has been in the Kings County Jail await- Ing her second trial since last spring, and will prob. ably be tried at the next session of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, The motion for her admission to bail was made in ti 5 urt, Chambe; To! Judge Neilson, ee rn ee BOARD OF EDUCATION. Routine Meeting Yesterday Afternoon.— School Question Not A regular meeting of the Board of Education took place yesterday aiternoon, W. H. Nelson, President, was in the chair. David F. Becker, who ‘Was appointed to supply the place of the dead Commissioner Cushing, took his seat. After the Usual reading of the minutes a number of applica- tions were referred to the appropriate committees. A communication was received from the Comp. troller ef the city, enclosing a letter from Stephen Angel to Andrew H. Green, complaining of the printing of the minutes of the Board, and sending the letter to the President of the Board. The matter was referred to the Committee on supplies. A long communication was received from & committee of Protestants, complaining of the manner in.which the Board of Education had treated the appropriation of school funds to parochial and sectarian ools, and praying that no portion of such money be.so appropriated ; or, ifany be given, that it may benefit ail alike. The tition was signed by Benjamin B, Levy, Andrew well, Benjamin F. Ferris, James 8. Tristram, W. 8. Headiey and ©. M. Blauvelt. After the read- img the delegation said they wished it to be dis- tinctly understood that “protestants” were meant in the petition in the sense of those who protest, and not in any sectarian sense. The communication was referred for consideration to the joint ¢ém- ittee. A large amount of routine business was en transacted, paying bills and making appoint- Ments. A suggestion that the office of musi- cal directress be abolished was referred. A resolution, appropriating $1,000 to the pay- ment of “Henry Kiddle and others” for com- piling the “School Teachers’ Mapual,” elicited some discussion. It was thought this was not de- ‘nite enough, as it was known who the others were and what they would get. The matter was settled by adding the names of Messrs. Harrison and Corcaran to that of Mr. Kiddie. A report recom- mending that no pupils be admit to evening schools under the of fourteen was refer- red, <A discussion len took place as to tne powers of the Superintendent to designate the grade of the teachers, and, after a vast amoant of questioning, Kad odoin) and misunder- standing, apolegy, verbiage and misquotation, the Board voted to give the Superintendent thi: Asal After some further routine business, jam Oland Bourne was appointed Record Clerk, at $2,500 yearly salary irom date. There was some discussion about dispensing with the services of John Brady as Messenger of the Board. Ona vote his services were dispensed with by a small majority. Mr. West, who had ehampioned the dis- missal of Brady, then prohosed. in his place the appointment of Henry D. Lichtenstein. who, he said, “had never drank @ arop of liquor in his life.” Lichtenstein was voted to the position. The Board then adjourned. THE ELEVENTH STREET TENE- MENT. Continuation of the Investigation Be- fore Coroner Herrman—Upinions of Ex- perts Relative to the Fall—The Verdict of the Jury—Contractors Held to An- swer. The investigation in the Eleventh street tene- ment house calamity was concluded yesterday by Coroner Herrman. THE TESTIMONY. The following testimony was taken:— ‘The first witness examined was Henry Fernpach, of No. 4i] West Fifty-first street. He testified that he was an architect; examined the ruins of the fallen building in West Eleventh street: found the front wall down; the westerly side wall had fallen in; the new part of the ex- tension was standing; the easterly wall was left intact; the westerly wall nad not been braced, or the braces had been removed too soon, cat cident; the rains alsothad comething to do with it; the bracing of the w- ils was always leit in the hands of the builders. Mark Eidletz, of No. 317 West Fifty-eighth stree’, was the next witness. He testified that he had been a builder for twenty-five years, and had erected a goo many buildings; had visited the ruins of the fallen buildin; his opinion the wester!; with stiff braces; there had becn an immediate cause of the accident; he believed it might have been caused by the workmen walking across the beams, causing them to spring; similar alterations had D made, and ke pone at with proper . were perfectly sate; leaving the old walls standing 1d using the old materials would lessen the cost about $2,000. Adam Weber, ot No. 203 Second avenue, testified that be had been in the building trade twenty-five years; had visited the ruins of the fallen building; examined the Walls; saw that the westerly wall had been cut for new beams; thought the westerly wall was not sufficiently ‘well braced, otherwise it would not have fallen; it is the duty of the builder to see that proper braces are pro- vided for walls in such condition; had examined the beams and found them all of good limber; did not see any rotten beams. THE WEATHER, OF COURSE. John Kettleman, of No. 983 West Twenty-seventh street, testified that he was a bricklayer and plasterer; on the 22d of August was working for Mr. Crawtord, on the new part of building No. 321 West Eleventh street, at the time of the accident; examined the walls and found them as good as walls ‘generally are of a similar character; was present when the accident happened; saw the westerly wall fall over; considered the weather had something to do with the accident; the walls were not, perhaps, sufficiently braced; did not hear trom any- body thai the bricks were bad; regarded the old bricks taken trom the buildings used in the new as of good and hard material, John Lott, of No. 403 Seventh avenue, testified that he had been a mason for twenty-one years; bad worked on the new (de of the building on the day of the accident; | did not observe the building particularly, but never had any fear of its safety William Laimbeer, of No. 73 Lexington avenue, testified that he was « builder and president et Commissioners of | Charities and Correction; had made several observations of the ruins and walls still standing; he made up his mind trom the beginning that it was a wrong thing to have underiaken such # construction, and since looking | at the, plang his first opinion had been.confirmed. In | int ‘or economy it was all a mistake; it would not wave cost them $1,000 more to have erected an entirely new building; Jadging from the walls and debris, the old walls ought to have been torn down and the construction made from the base: from an experience of thirty years he thought no building built at that time could stand the alterations with safety in the manner proposed in the plans; thought that the wall was weak where the chan- nel wascut ana where the beams had been taken ont, and that that was the cause of the accident; the best theory in building in regard to bracing is that when one brace is removed another should be piaced in its stead; believed that a law should be enacted to prevent the alteration of such buildings, and that the Superin- tendent of Buildings can present to the Legisiature such @ law as will prevent such accidents; thought that the owner was originally responmble ; that when the archi- tect drew the pians he relieved the owner of that respon sibllity; that when the Superintendent of Buildings ap. Proved ‘the plans, then he relieved both the owner and architec! Dr. Cushman was then sworn and testified that he ex- amined the bodies of eight men found the building, and believed their death was caused by the falling of the rear wall. This concluded the testimony. i Coroner Herrman stated that he had summoned some half dozen other well known builders in the city to give evidence, but for various reasons they were unable to be present. A recess having been taken, Coroner Herrman, on the jury Morgen, addressed them briefly, telling them that the amity, the cause of which they were investigating, was not the result of an accldent, but should be traced to some responsi- bility. The Coroner pointed out the main features | of the testimony taken during the entire examina- tion, and the jury, alter peing absent about an hour and’a half, brougit in nee lowing verdict :— Hp yeupior. ‘We find that John Foster and others came to their deaths from injuries recerved by the falling of the walls of the building No. 831 West Bleventh street, on the 22d day of August. 1873, caused by the gross negligence of the contractors, John W. Crawtord, Jesse Newman and Michael Prortner, tn not _properly'bracing the westerly walls when removing the timbers of said building during its construction.

Gems Taken from Sup- clers—Their Value $40,000. Eight large diamonds were seized from Messrs. Maurice and Frederick Joseph yesterday on a charge of having been smuggled. The seizure was made by Custom House OMicer Bliss at the St. Nicholas Hotel, where the owners are stopping. They arrived here from England on the steamer Adriatic on Sunday last. It is claimed that they landed without declaring that they had the gems in their possession and that they subse- quently attempted to sell them to Tiffany the jeweller. Officer Bliss reported that they offered to seli them to him before they became aware of the position he held. The diamonds are the largest that have been seized in many years; they are about size of wainute and are said to be worth $40,000, They are all heavily set in Etrus- i th one exception. Four are set two as studs and one as a breast pin. ‘ustom House officials that the stones had not been smuggled, and stated that they brought them from South Africa and intended them sor their own wear, and threatened to write tothe London Times on the subject of the outrage, as they termed the seizar COMPTROLLER’S RECEIPTS, Comptroller Green reports the following amounts paid yesterday into the city treasury :~From Bu- Teau of Arrears—Arrears of taxes, assessments, water rents and interest, $5,449.

Close of His Twenty-one Days’ Speech in the Tichborne Case, A FINE PERORATION. [From the London Daily Telegraph, Aug. 22.) Yesterday’s proceedings commenced with an emphatic complaint on the part of one of the jur- ors, Mr. Taylor, that a morning contemporary—the Standard, it was understood—had very seriously misrepresented him. The offending passages were handed up to the Lord Chief Justice, who, to Mr. Taylor’s evident satisfaction, at once expressed his opinion that they ought to be “withdrawn.” This little matter over, Dr, Kenealy’s speech was recom- menced, and the learned counsel proceeded to dis- cuss the two versions given by the defendant at dif- ferent times of the contents of the sealed packet, and to show that instead of being irreconellable they were, on the contrary, perfectly consistent, From this matter be passed to the Wagga-Wagga Pocketbook, with its “Some men has plenty money and no braines. Some men has plenty braines and no money,” and suggested that the mo st “dangerous” entries in it were forgeries, in which the fine Roman hand of a detective was im- mediately apparent. Once again were tho long- suffering Jurors treated to @ disquisition upon “.’s” and “T.’s”” loops and dots, up strokes and down, dotted ‘‘y’s” and circled “d's.” At last, however, the apparently endless topic of hand- writing came to its ena, with @ proposal on the art of Dr. paneny. © submit to tne jury various imiles of Lord Byron's handwriting at different periods of his life. this Mr. Hawkins objected, on the ground that the documents tendered were “not evidence,” and the mer being persisted in, despite of a remark on the part of the Lord Chief Justice that it was ‘‘ungracious,” the learned Doc- tor very adroitly turned the tableson his adversary by feline the jury that they could find the fac- similes in question for themselves in Murray’s large octavo edition of the poet’s works, The laugh which this little stroke of generalship raised having died Gene Dr. Kenealy went on to argue irom internal evidence that the defendant's letters exhibit the true spirit of a gentleman, and more especially to read one letter about the discovery of @ watch supposed to have belonged to Alfred Tichborne, and which the defendant expressed himself a8 anxious to purchase as a memorial of his brother. It appeared, however, that the origi- nal of the letter in question was not in evidence— & somewhat strange fact, as there is already a letter in evidence in which the defendant refers to the same watch as having been packed up ana sent off to the dowager, and tells her how to wind it up by the handle. From the episode of the watch the learned counsel reverted to the old locus communis of memory, and quoted largely from various writers upon psychology and metaphysics, from Locke to Abercrombie, and from Lord Lytton to Plato, to show that the defendant's absolute ignorance of much o; Roger ‘lichborne’s early career ts yet no proof that he cannot be Roger Tichborne. The mind, says Plato, in the “Thewtetus,” is like a dovecote, and our ideas and recolleetions are the pigeons. For no two days is the family the same. ‘ihe birds die, and are born, come and go; and when once @ bird has fled, no power can recall it; it must return of its own will or not at’ all. To do justice to Dr. Kenealy’s powel a8 @ metaphysician, he handled this part of his argument with considerable ability, although he was less fortunate when he contended that the ex- cessive buik ofthe defendant must have impaired in him the faculty of recollection. “Width and wisdom,” it was the opinion of Mr. Weller the senior, “always grow together,” but, according to Dr. Kenealy, excessive tat is always associated with dulness. To suid emeeping generalization the Lord Chief Justice most emphatically demurred, and @ most amusing episode followed, Dr. Kenealy quoting Cxsar’s comments upon the “lean and hungry Jook”’ of Cassius, while the Lord Chief Justice was understood to refer to Fox, to the First Napoleon, to Sergeant Wilkinson and to Mr. Harrison, Q. . buzz of conversation followed, in which the names of several most emtnent and bulky gentlemen, not yet snatched away by premature fate, were freely mentioned, and alittle mutual recrimination arose in “the sheep pen,” the leaner and more hungry jurors pointing malicious fingers at their stouter brethren, The entry at this identical moment o1 a distinctly eorpuient barrister, who had no small dificuity in tighting his w: to a seat, increased the amusement, and a comical shake of the head with which Sergeant Parry was greeted by his col- league in the inner bar crowned the fun. A si sic omnia, “The laughter unquenchabie” which had arisen among the “happy immortals” rapidly died out as Dr. Kenealy began to treat Court ard jury wo arésumé of the case of Martin Guerre, and of the htstories of the Duke of Wharton, of Wortley Montagu, of Lord Rochester, of Lord Ockham and of the late Lord Aberdeen. The following is the text of the peroration:— Why, there was the famous Duke of Wharton, one of the cleverest, but yet one of the wilaest, men of the last century. After one of the wildest and most reck- Jess careers, he chose to end his life as @ monk in @ Spanish convent. koe We bes m have heard of the astounding career of Wortley Montagu, whose et ig were among the wealthiest in England; ut he ran away from home when a child aud be- came a chimney sweeper. iis parents did all they could to reclaim him; they put him into Parlia- ment—(a laugh)—and placed money treely at his disposal, but allto noeffect. He went intoa foreign land, ultimately became a Turk, and diced after doing many wonderful and astonishing things. Again, there was Lord Rochester, who took pleasure in disguising himself as a porter or beggar, ora mountevank in Tower Hill, Lord Ockham, the grandson of Byron, worked as a com- mon saiforin some dockyard in the Isle of Dogs. But the most extraordinary case was that of Lord Aberdeen, a young man of an extraordinary turn of mind. He went abroad inthe year 1866 and never afterwards returned to this country. . It was in May, 1566, that ne last used his real name, with the exception of one occasion in February, 1867, when he drew two checks for £100 each, in New York, upon his banker in Scotland. Alter that date he never drew upon his friends in Great brit- ain, preferring to live upon his own wages, which he derived from the seafaring hile he led. He took regular service in foreign and then American ships under the name of G H. Osborne. He kept up @ correspondence with his mother, who resided in this country, until 1869, when it suddenly ceased. His family became alarmed at his silence, and sent a Mr. Alexander to New York to make inquiries aiter him; but it was not until six months alter he arrived in New York that he obtained the clew. Jt then transpired that on the 2ist of January, 1870, he sailed in the Era, bound for Melbourne, and on the 26th of the same month he was washed overboard by a wave and drowned. Here was a peer, heir to estates and wealth, giving up everything to follow a seafaring career, and to live upon his wages. And yct we are told they are astonished because Roger Tich- borne did the same thing, or something similar. Englishmen are always doing these things, and we cannot on such matters. draw any conclusion ‘rom our own individual ideas. Gentlemen, ene or two more observations, and I shall close my speech, We are told that the whole of the family are leagued against the defendant, not because they believe he is an impostor, but because they imagine that he has brought dis: honor upon they name. Some of them, probably; are led away too readily by representations made to them by those who are prejudiced in the matter. There is nothing unusual in @ family turnin; against a member of it who bas broughé discred! upon them. Why does the father expel his only gen from his house, cut him off, and cast bim oif irredeemably and {rremediably? Because he thinks he has sity eb! dishonor upon his house, and there- fore he will have nothing more to do with him. Why do pare: Mtg their daughters from their household, forget them, and will not bear to hear their names mentioned in their presence? Because they have peor dishonor and discredit on their name. If the father and mother can steel their hearts against their much loved child, wno, they believe, has tarnished their reputation, who can wonder if those who are neither father nor mother, but distant relations, and possibly relations who never had apy love or affection in $hem—who can won- der, I say, if they are obdtrate to the ort f blood or relationship, or that they should “This man has disgraced us; we will combine against him?’ Some few may have a opinion in their minds that he is the rei pap and yet family pride and a feeling apd Sénde of wounded honor will induce them t6 say, not believe in you; we will get rid of you; you took yourself away from us; you treated us with contempt and scorn; we will m jut fo you your own measure." ‘And when they say he is not the real Roger, and will not have him, there are ai- ways people weak enough to believe them. Gen- tlemen, we have heard much of the odtum theologicum, bat the odium among relations when they come to quarrel is stronger at times, and is only stopped or quenched in blood. When relations fail out tt is almost pro- verbial that their enmity is irreconcilable. I can understand some of the Tichborne family, such, tor instance, a8 Colonel George Greenwood, honestly believing that the defendant is not the Teal man, and I can easily understand others suiil believing that he is, but not choosing to say so. That is what I believe with respect to the swear. ing of some of the witnesses. bu men, against all this I set th and eres, of bis mother as overwhelm- ing and convincing.

At the Exchange yesterday Mr. D. M. Seanian sold by order of the Court of Common Pleas a five story brick tenement house, on the east side of Ridge street, 100 feet south of Delancey street, lot 256x100 feet, for $19,500, The sale held by Jeremiah Johnson, Jr., at Bos- cobel, on the Hudson, on the 20 instant, was as great a success as could be anticipated. Thirty plots were sold at an aggregate of $35,477 75.

THE CONDITION OF THE BOULEVARDS at present is of the best order, but cannot remain so jor any et fe of time unless an appropriation 1s made soon by the Board of Estimate and Appor- tionment to place adequate means in the hands of Commissioner Van Nort. Under date of the 2d inst. Mr. Van Nort renews his request for the ap- propriation of $25,000 for this purpose, but thus far he has received no response. ext Saturday labor will have to be suspended on these important city improvements unless funds are provided to pay for the labor. Mr, Van Nort, in a letter to the layor, as Chairman of the Board, says:— ‘The recent heavy rains have so washed the roadways that large quantities of material and extensive repal are necessary at this time, in addition to the ordinary work, Unlike most other pavements, the road of the Boulevard and ayenues require constant care and attendance, a suspension of which, even for a short ti will inevitably result in great loss to the city by the de: struction of the roadways, as a much larger expenditure will necessarily be required again to put them in proper condition when, sufficient means therefor shall have been provided. To allow these roadways to be neg:ected will also be an injustice to property owners and residents in the upper part of the city, to whom they furnish at present the only means of communication with other Portions of the city, and who are taxed equally with others for the maintenance of street and roadway pave- ments. I woul eretore, respectfully and earnestly ) est of August 22 for an additional appro- Driation of $25,000 for the “maintenance of Boutevard, Fonds and aventes;”” and urge the necessity of immediate action, —__+2 + —__ MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. ° Married.
