COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—ThIAL TENM—PART I. Two Sides of a Story and Four-Fifths Reduction of Damages. Before Judge Larremore. Several days since, while Judge Loew was on the bench, the suit of Robert G, Campbell vs. William Rich- ardson, President ot the Dry Dock Railroad Company, was called for trial. There was no response on the part of the defendant, and the result was hearing the story of the prosecutor and his witnesses and giving for Mr. Campbell a verdict of $250 damages. This story, owing to its rather peculiar features, was published in tull in the Hexatp atthe time. Mr. Campbeil, who kept a hotel in Essox street, was swecpiti, show from the sidewalk In front of his place, when Sr. Richardson came along and told him to shovel the snow off the railroad track im front, claiming that he had thrown it there. This M. Campbell refused to do, and thereupon Mr. Richarason called d tiad him arrested and taken before Judge ndley, at the rssex Market Police Court, when the latter disctianced him and let him go, Mr. Cainpbell wanted 8.009 damages for alleged malicious arrest and imprisonment. At the trial yesterday he told substan- tially the same story as at’ the previous inquisition, except that yesterday he swore there was no snow on the track and said that this was his previous testimony. Mr. Joseph L. Blondel, the official stenographer of the Court, read the previous evidence, in which he stated | that there was snow on the track, but thathe did not throw it there. The defence was that there was good ground for the arrest, The policeman who made the arrest and Judge Shandiey both testified that the under- standing was that a compromise of the difficulty had been made and that on this account Mr. Campbeil was discharged, Judge Larremore made quite an extended charge. The jury were absent but a few moments when they returned with a verdict of $50 damages for Mr. Caupbell. COURT OF GEWE®AL SESSIONS. A False Pretence Ca: Before Recorder Hackett Yesterday, in this Court, Thomas McLaughlin pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with obtaining a package of laces, embroideries, towels and stockings, valued at $906 79, on the 13th of September, from Wilmer- ding, Hoguet & Co.

Affairs of the Union Trust Company—Explana- tion from Mr. Wesley, the Receiver—A List of Inaccuracies—Correspondence Be- tween the President and Vice Pres- ident—Bank of New York. There are curious changes trom day to day in local financial prospects, Yesterday the outlook was quite cheerful, There is calmness in the com- mercial situation, while the most that can be said of the Stock Exchange is that the values repre- sented there are just now curiously compared with commercial values. This, of course, involves the distress of stock values, which now, in the absence of any power in the street left them, simply rest upon their comparative value as dividend-producing securities, or, in other words, earning investments, In regard to the recurring reports of diMculties tn manufacturing districts the writer called on Howes & Macy, well known as largely applied to for the negotiation of paper from such ‘sources, to get their views upon the recent suspensions, He was politely received by Mr. Howes, when the following conversation en- sued RerorTER—Mr, Howes, I have come to inquire if you are willing to give your views on the subject recent suspensions in manufacturing centres, I understand thav ae deal largely in their commercial paper, and, consequently, can speak understandingly on this matter? Mr. Howgs—Well, really, we have been so busy I have not had time to examine carefully into general principles with any expectation of my views going into print, Their present dimicultics arise wholly from the scarcity of currency. They have large stocks on hand, but in the meantime are unable to market them tor cash or procure the currency to meet their daily demanis. RerorreR—Have you thouglt of aremedy for this condition? Mr. Howgs—The simple remedy is @ further in- fation of the currency. REPORTER—DO you not think that this is simply delaying the crisis? Mr. Howrs—I do, but I thought your question pointed to immediate relief. Time only can bring ene a real remedy tor the present condition of affairs, ReEroRTER—Do you think there is anything in the existing situation to call for alarm? Mr. Howgs—No sir, no alarm; there may be dis- tress, temporarily, but with the reflux of currency into circulation there will be revival. THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE BANK OF NEW YORK. Reports having gone abroad that Mr. James H. Banker, Vice President of the Bank of New York, had made use of his position to divert securities placed in his possession to his own personal ad- vantage, the following correspondence is made public to correct the impression :— New York, Oct. 27, 1873. oF THR Bank or New To tae PRestpent axv Dirxcr York, NATIONAL BANKING ASSOCIATION :— Gustiewey—Owing to the present excited condition of the public mind upon financial affairs I fear that the many false rumors respecting myself may prejudice the interests of your bank arising trom my Connection with its management ae vice president. ‘Ihe position, as you all know, is one in which f{ have faithtully labored tor the past ten years, without compensation of any kind, and without in any way benefiting myself, pecuniariiy or otherwise, by the connection. \s T suppose need uot assure you of the utter falsity of all storles or state:nents prejudicial to my character, or imputing to me any improper appropriation or diversion ot funds or securities within my control under any cir- cumstances, and | have only at present to say with re- spect to all such false statements that my complete vin- ication will soon be made manifest.

P. LEVERICH, Fresident. THE BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE UNION TRUST COMPANY. The receiver of the Union Trust Company, Mr. E. B. Wesley, on being asked yesterday to explain in reference to the proceedings in bankruptcy insti- tuted by William R. Siney, said that he had not read the petition to have the company declared bankrupt, but emphatically contradicted such of its allegations as were brought to his attention, He was not aware that Augustas Schell, the Vice President of the company, was in any way indebted to it, and he denied that any transiers of money, stocks or bonds had been made to any officer of Keo the company tor the purpose of defraud- ing its creditors, The statement in the petition concerning a transier of property to the Lake Shore and Michigan southern Railroad referred, of course, to the $1,800,000 loan, the char- acter and settlement of which had already been explained, and A FULL ANSWER to the petition would be made at the proper time. Mr. Wesley said that the bankruptcy proceedings resuited, he supposed, from an investigation made some time ago by a committee claiming to repre- sent the creditors, to whom he gave every facility Jor an examination of the books of the company. He did not know the names of the committee, or whether Mr. Siney was one of the members. In regard to the alleged overdrafts on the company, and 4 pubiished scheaule purporting to be a partial list of them, Mr, Wesley said that the matter had been greatly exaggerated and misrepresented, LIST OF INACCURACIES. As to the overdraft of C. H. & W. ©. Andrews for $17,356 04, the debtors were represented to him as perfectly good, and the company had a loan to them secured by railroad bonds as collateral, which fully covered both the loan and the over- drait. The overdraits of the State of Arkansas for $25,419 30 on one account, and $24,771 66 on another, were amply secured by col- laterals. ‘The allegation that “Daniel Torrance and associates” had overdrawn $47,604 59 was incorrect, the apparent debtor in this case being the Ohio and Mississippi Ratiroad, which has $330,000 on deposit in the institution in another account. J. H. Ep pac da) who was alleged to have overdrawn $4,963 30, did not owe the company one shilling. Thomas Reed & Co., who were reported to have overdrawn $163,435 86, have suspended payment. Mr. Wesley said that they had various loans {rom the company on mis+ cellaneous securities, amounting to $232,000, In order to cover these, an individual account had been opened for the firm, and the whole amount charged to Thomas Reed & Co. As fast as the securities are negotiated the amount ts credited to their account. MR. WESLEY'S OVERDRAFT. The overdraft assigned to Mr. Wesley himself, amounting to $157,447 94, consisted, he said, of the money and accounts received by the company since the suspension and charged to him as re- ceiver, he crediting the same to the company upon his books, Other overdraits mentioned were fully secured by government bonds. Mr. Thompson, @ bookkeeper referred to by Mr. Wesley in making these statements, said that after taking from the list of overdrafts all the large amouuts which were satisfactorily accounted for it was possible that ten per cent Of the small remainder might not prove good, WHAT THB PRESIDENT SAYS, Mr. Frothingham, the President of the company, Said that he was served with the preliminary papers in the bankruptcy proceedings Monday night. The petition in the case, he asserted, was 4 tissue Oo; misrepresentations and falsehoods. No property had been transferred to any oMcers of the company with the object of defrauding its creditors, and no attempt had been made to con- ceal any of the assets. expected the company to resume business, but at what date was still un- certain, meeting of the trustees was held yesterday, THE MOTION IN THR SUPREME COURT. A motion was made in SupremeWourt, Chambers, responder, betore Janne reeret for @ writ of man- us in behalf of im caseney, Sones, Union Trust Company, as registering agent o1 the Lake Shore Railroad ‘Company, to transfer on their books $120,000 worth of stocks from the name of George B, Grinnell & Co. tothat of Cheeney, It appeared that Mr. Cheeney purchased the bonds from the fantr a National Bank, with which they were pledged by Grinnell & Co. before going into bankruptcy, and the transfer oi the stocks Was refused owing to the doubtfulness of @ pur- chaser’s title under the circumstances. The de- cision of the Court was reserved, RPYROT OF THE PANIC. A prominent banker said yesterday that the late Panic swept away almost évery unsound concern On the street; that not @ house but lost from fift; to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, an that the feeling of confidence is not yet restored, Dor will it be for some time, A OUSTOMS SEIZURE. Deputy Surveyor Brainerd Howell and Inspector George Klink yesterday morning seized from on board the steamship Scotia, of the Cunard line, five large cases of valuable goods. When taken to the Custom House seigure room they were ex- amined by J. R.

The principal item of interest in connection with real estate movements, which are at present centred in Westchester county, comes now from the Harlem and Portchester Railroad Company, who make the following representation of their ability to help the value of property :— THS LOWBR TERMINUS OF THE ROAD Westchester side of the Hariem River, a short south of Harlem bridge, and opposite the Second avenue of this city, where the compauy has secured a valuable tract of land having a frontage of more than a thousand feet along the river, On the margin of the river a substantial dock, nine hundred fect long, has been constructed. and upon ita passenger and freight depot, three hundred teet long and thirty feet wide, has been nearly completed. Pas- sengers will able to pass through the ‘depot trom the trains to the steamers without exposure. A spacious engine house and car shed have been erected on the premises, and the grounds will soon .be covered with tracks for the diflerent passenger aud freight trains, It is intended to transfer the freight cars from the road to barges or steamers and thence to other railroads with- out Lreaking bulk, thereby saving time and expense. ‘The whole length of the new railroad, from Harlem River to its junction with the New York, New Haven and Hartford Kailroad, at New Rochelte, is twelve and one-quarter miles, while the distance between the Har- m Kiver aud New Rochelle, by the present route, by way of Williamsbridge aud Mount Vernon, is twelve and three-quarier iniles. Both trucks for the new road are laid for the entire lenxth, and the only impediment to the immediate open- ing of the line is ai the bridge across Pelham Bay. The centre pier will be completed at or before the end of this ‘weok, when the draw will be replaced in position, and it is authorita(tvely aanounced that the road will certainly be opened tor public travel by the 15th of next moath. The road has been built in the most thorough and sub- stantial mavner with double track, steel rails and broken stone ballast, at a cost of nearly $2,000,00). It is probable that commuters om the New Haven kail- road will have an opportunity of using either route to and from the city at a very slight advance on the present Fates Local fares on the new road will be three cents er mile. PNegotiations are now in progress with one of the steam. boat lines for the transportation of passengers and freight between the depot of North New York, north side of the Harlem River, and the lower part of te city.

The first station above the Harlem River dock will be between oth and Lyoth s' ,. and known as Port Mor- i distance of one and one-uith of a mile. second station will be at the intersection of the railroad with Hunt’s Point road, oue mile and two-thirds above Port Morris station, and wili be known as Hunvs Point station, The third station east of the Harlem River will be the town of West Chesier, opposite the village of West Farms, one mile and a quarter above Hunt's Point, and will be known as West Farms station. he fourth station will be in the, village of West Chester, one mile and one-third east of the West Farms depot, and will be known as West Chester station. ‘rhe fitth station will be in the town of West Chester, two miles east of the village of that name, and will be known as the Baychester station. ‘The sixth station will be in the town of Pelham, oppo- site Vily Island road, one mile east of Baychester, and will be knowa a3 Bartow station, ‘The seventh station cast ot Harlem River will also be in the town of Pelham, one mile and a haif above Bar- tow and two miles betow New Rochelle, and will be known as Pelham Manor station. ‘The new road will be operated by the New York, New Haven and Hurtford Railroad Company, under a ‘lease from the Harlem River and Portchester ' Railroad Com pany, Tt will be known as the Harlem River Branch of he New Haven Railroad.
