Before Judge Van Brunt. ‘The sult of John L. Brown against the city for $93,337 for paving, regulating, curtang and guttering Tenth avenue, trom Manhattan street to 155th street, was tried yester- day inthis Court. For the city it was claimed that the Street Commissioner had no authority to make a con- tract except to pave and regulate, and therefore that the contract was void and the city not liable. It was con- tended on the other hand that under the act of i872 commissioner had been appointed to examine into the contract, and had reported the same as having been en- tered into honestly, and, therefore, that the ciaim was a just one. A motion was made to dismiss the complaint, and atver the same had been argued at iearned length by ex-Recorder Smith on one side and Mr. John &. Develin on the other, the same was granted.

Plaintiff alleges that he told defendant then he expected torent the upper part of the building to. person who would probably want the cellar, but about two weeks aiterwards, having concluded an arrangement for upper part without thecellar, he informed the defendant that he could nave it for another year. The defendant said he would keep it, and bald for one month's rent un- der the new lease, but soon after that he removed from the premises and retused to pay any further rent. and ‘this action is brought to recover $258, tor tne remainder of the year. The devendant testified that when the plaintiff told him he was expecting to rent the store to aperson who would also want the basement, he engaged another and denies that he subsequently told the plaintft would keep the premises another year. He did not Moved into bis new quarters until three or four weeks Fr the expiration of the year, and he then went tothe offered to pay tor the time he had occupied the place, but the plaintiff said he should hold him for a year's rent. The Court charged the jury that ir the tound, from the evidence, that an agreement was made asalléged by Mr. Southmayd, they would find a verdict for the plaintiff for the fall ainount claimed; but should they believe the detendant’s statement then they would give the plaintl® such compensation as they thought Proper for the time the deiendant actually occupied the Premises.

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. Wasnixotox, Dee. 1, 1873. In No. 92 of the Supreme Court docket, Lozere vs. Rocheron et al. from the Supreme Court of Louisiana, the plaintiffin error was expelled from New Orleans atter its capture by the military force and was not per- mitted to return. Subsequently proceedings were had agaist his property pursuant to notice by publication to him to appear and detend, and in default of appearance 4 decree of confiscation was passed. Since the war Lozere sued to recover, claiming that his property could not legaily be condemned in his absence under such circumstances: but, the state Court the proceedings in confiscation, - was rendered against bim. That judg- ment is here reversed, the Court holding that ‘it 1s contrary to the plainest principles of reason and justice that any one should be condemned asto his person or Property without an opportunity to be heard. | He conld hot return, and a published notice to him was a mere idle form which he could not lawfully see or obey. He had no legal right in his absence to appoint an agent or to transact any business in New Orleans, and the pro- ceedings against Lis property were void amd inopera- tive. Mr. Justice Swayne delivered the opinion of the Court. Lozere was for years betore the war Clerk of the Supreme Court of the State. In case No. 103, the Manhattan Life Insurance Com- pany vs. Francisco, from the Circuit Coart for California, the Supreme Court affirm a judgment recovered below against the company ona contract of insurance on the life of the husband of the defendant in error. The in- sured died after the application, before the delivery of the policy, and the detence was’ that he concealed the fact of disease when the application was made. The writot error maintai! at the Court erred in its rulings upon the evidence and in the instructions to the jury that they were to determine whether the party was ‘sufiering (rom seated disease when Insured, or was sub- Ject only to occasional indigposiiion. Mr. Justice Strong delivered the opinion. THE RING CASES. Blissful Ignorance in the District Attor- ney’s Office—Rumor that Woodward is Returning—Ingersoll and Farrington To Go to Sing Sing To-Day. There were no new developments yesterday rel- ative to the “‘Ring’’ cases; but it is now announced that the trial of Harry Genet is the next in order, and that he wilt be arraigned when Judge Davis again presides in the Oyer and Terminer. Mr. Genet has not as yet been informed by the District Attorney officially as to when his case will be called. lowever, he says he 1s ready at any time, and the District Attorney can suit own con- venience in fixing the day of the trial. It was rumored during the day that Norton and Walsh had fled to parts unknown, but the report turned out to be groundless, Considerable curiosity is mantfested by the politicians in reiation to the expected arrival of one of the magnates of the old Ring from Europe, who, some people say, Will tell a tale of the days that are gone that will make many of the present reformers, democratic and republican alike, feel very uncomfortable. It is stated that this in- dividual is no less a person than Woodward, and that arrangements nave been made by which he will be roe against persecution if he gives the kind of information the authorities think he cap. The District Attorney and his assistants affect to Know nothing about this matter; rather, when questioned as to whether any one of the Ring reguiees is expected home soon they, refuse to make any answer at all. Meanwhile the de- tectives in the employ of the District Attorney continue to watch the movements of the indicted parties in the city, and the witnesses who are ex- pected to testily in each case. Ingersoll and Farrington are to be taken to Sing Sing to-day, at hall-past ten o’clock, WILLIAM M. TWSED. Areporter went the rounds yesterday to inves- tigate the rumor that the “Hoss,” ex-Senator Tweed, had shafted off this mortal coil. A visit to the isiand and an interview with Commissioner Bowen and Superintendent Keliogg disclosed the jact that “Big Six” still lives, and the very first expression he made on leaving his ceil yesteraay morning was, “1 shall yet live to outride this op- position.” THE SMITH HOMICIDE. Verdict Against Patrick Clark, Jr.—Com- mitted to the Tombs. Coroner Young yesterday heid an inquest at the ofMce in Houston street on the body of Ann Smith, the inebriate, late of No, 228 Rivington street, who, it was alleged, was fatally beaten a few nights ago by Patrick Clark and his son Patrick, who boarded with deceased. Mary Clark, daughter of the elder Clark, testified that her brother and deceased had 4 dimiculty on Tuesday night of last week, when She struck him while he was in bed and would not let him sleep; Patrick got up and struck Mrs, Smith with his open hand, when she staggered against @ closet door, the door falling upon and knocking her down; deceased went to bed and gol up the next morning, but lay down again and did not get up any more; she died op Thursday ; deceased and the younger Clark were drunk at the time of the diMeculty; the young man ana deceased sometimes ‘slept ‘in the same bed; some days before Mrs, Smiti’s death Patsey Clark and bis brother had a fight, and according to the testimony of George Dolan, also a lodger, she had black eyes the next morning; she void Dolan that Patsey struck her witn his open hand, but said it was more her fault than bis; de- Ceased sometimes pawned clothing for money to oon they bad @ jamboree there almost Mrs, Frederica Pliss, living in the house, that on Tnesday night abe heard teopuate ‘skeen out, “Patsey, don’t beat me any more, or yon will kill me;” soon aiter heard deceased scream as if she was being strangied; heard Patsey threaten to pu deceased uf she did not keep quiet and jet hun lone.

The Leavitt Art Gallery Last Night. Last evening at the Leavitt Art Gallery was the final evening which permitted a view, in their eu- trety, of the very handsome collection of pictures which have been visiole there duripg the past week. Ofcourse the rooms were crowded, and, brilliant with lights and vocal with birds, the scene was animated and pleasurable. Special groups ar- ranged themselves at intervals around half & dozen favorite productions. Firat among these deserves to be mentioned “Happiness and Char- ity,” by Carl Miller. The subject is one in which correct drawing of the human form, rich and deli- cate coloring and affectionate sentiment are chiefly necessary. All these were present. A woman, ‘whose countenance beams with beneficence, suckles &@ baby, whose curied-up limbs suMiciently be- speak its happiness without rendering it necessary for its face to become visible. That, of course, is hidden against the aifiuent breast trom which the infant’s mouth drains nourishment. At the right of the woman who emblemizes Charity stands & child angel, whose divinely upraised eyes express an ecstatic blessing. At the left stands another child-angel, its forehead wreathed with morning geree, anda bunch of myrtle in itshands. The rawing of the figures is almost faultiess, and the flesh tints are deliciously soft and warm, but the rincipal magnetism of apictnre resides in the efableness of the sentiment’ Another group surrounded the precious little morceau of Meyer von Bremen, entitled “Rest for asant maid the Weary,” and represent) a little sitting on @ solitary piece of rock, while her almost baby sister, quite tired out, sleeps at her feet. The rock is on a bluff overlooking the sea, and the sea washes and ripples in the radiance of a soit pink sunset, The picture is an exquisite interpretation Of a tender mood of child life. Daubigney’s “Twilight on the Seine’’ produced admiration from every connoiaseur in the rooms. A hage mass of sloping shore is drenched in black- est shadow. The only light that saiutes the eye 8 reflected upon a shallow sheet of water, planted here and there with tussocks, and flecked with lazily floatmg ducks, For a sense of loneliness, sadness, yearning and mystery, ‘‘Twiligyt on the Seine” 18 not sarpassed by any other picture in this exhibition, More praise (and that is saying much) than has ever been accorded to @ picture shown in this country by Auguste Bonheur is due to his ‘Driv- ing Cattle Home in the Afternoon.”” Low, swamp- ish lands, covered with coarse, short grass, are wet with brackish pools and lit with a weird cross- light that throws a strange and unfamihar sheen upon everything within view. Over this marshy level cattle are struggling home, and the sense that comes to the observer is that of some rude and wild locality, lit with @ spectral diagonal light at the close of an afternoon none of the brightest. As none of these pictures are among those to be disposed of to-night at Clinton Hall, an opportu- nity remains to-day for inspecting them. Novelties at Schaus’. Yesterday a truly great picture, by Ad, Schreyer, was hung at Schaus’. It 1s called “L’Abreuvoir,” and comes from the famous collection of the Ger- man railroad king, Dr. Strouaberg. This collection cost its collector about $600,000. The present pic ture, which was disposed ofin Europe at private sale, measures 40 inches by 68, and is probably one of the most valuable that Dr. Strousberg possessed. We have space only to say that the subject repre- sents half a dozen horses, probably of the Wal- lachian breed, drinking at a tiough. The theme is handled with @ truly gigantic power, and the knowledge that such a che/d’@uvre, trom such 4 hand and never before seen in this country, 1s on view will probably crowd the Schaus gallery to-day. There is also another exquisitely painted little icture, by Mr. J, Beauiain Irving, called ‘fhe jook-Worm,’’ and an exquisite engraving, a com- bination of oer ee etching and mezzotint, en- graved by W. Simmons, after Henry Le Jeune. Only artist’s proois are on hand. It is called “Great Expectations.” Fredricks’ Cuban Photographs. Apropos of the present excitement in regard to our relations with Spain and Cuba, Mr. Fredricks, No. 587 Broadway, has produced @ large number of excellent photographs, representing scenes, locali- Ues, institutions and people in Cupa. TROTTING AT FLEETWOOD PARK, Two trots besides the unfinished one of Saturday last were announced to take place at Fleetwood Park yesterday afternoon, but at the appointed time spow was falling fast and the track was en- veloped im pure white. None of the horses for the new races made an appearance, but the unfinished affalr had to be settled. It might have been set- tied as well in the stable as on the track, as tt ended as every one who witnessed the four heats on Saturday knew it would, by Charley Green winning whatever money was up on the “match” and all that his backers had in the pool box, But, although those interested im Charley Green’s welfare have got away with the spoils, the parties must not suppose that this fraudulent affair is done with. Two of the judges who were in the stand on Saturday, did not put in an appearance yesterday, and others had to be subdstituted in their places. The Board of Appeais at its next session must take this case up and deal severely with all who were engaged in this violation of the trotting rules, The case will be laid before them in a way that the Board cannot avoid taking cognizance of. The facts are these:—The race was advertised to be trotted under the saddle, and the usual num- ber of patrons to the Fieetwood Park were there to witness it. The pool-selling began as soon as the speculators congregated, and soon afterwards John Murphy was seen on Charley Green’s back, jogging up and down the track. He was the favor- ite at long odds, It was discovered after scoring afew times, however, that Charley Green would break badly, and then people were induced to back Tanner Boy, which they did until the latter sold on even terms with Cnariey Green. after scoring at least a dozen times Charley Green was taken to the shed and hitched to a sulkey, against the protestations of many entlemen, some of whom appealed to the judges, ling them at the time that this was a gross vio- lation of the rules of the National Association, and begged attention to the rule, which was about to be set at naught. The judges paid no attention to this, but allowed the race togoon. Tanner Boy Went off and won two heats in the easiest possinie manner, nearly distancing Charley Green the first heat and beating him about 30 yards on the second. ‘Then, to the great amazement of the 4 Chariey Green suddenly became a great favorite, and his backers could not be served quickly enough by the pool seller at any rate of odds. Of course, Charley Green won the next two heats, and then darkness set im and the race had to ve posed until yesterday, when the farce of another heat was gone bg with Tanner Boy being double distanced and the judges, new and old, awarded the race to Charley Green, ‘The above are simply tne facts of the case, and we eaves affair Jor the Board of Appeals to look alter It may also be well to call their attention to the case ol the rider of the horse Tanner Boy. ‘This in- dividual was ruled off the Deerfoot Park for throw- ing a race a few weeks ago, and several days atter- wards a slippery-tongued gentleman of the whip, who lias thrown maby races himself, “saw” the judges, who ruled W. E. Weeks off the track and induced them to revoke their decision of expulsion. Now, it is well known that these gentlemen juages had no power to revoke their sentence, becanse pe were no longer judges after they had given their decision on the particular race they were judging at the time Weeks was found guilty, and they had nothing further wo do with Weeks or the race after they left the judges’ stand, The mutter jay with the Board of Appeals and they will decide this matter also, NO doubt, satisfactorily to those who are endeavoring to promote honest trotting and racing on the american turf. The iollowing is # full summary of this disgrace- ful affair, which, it Is to be hoped, will be the iast ol the season :— UNFINISHED TROT OF SATURDAY.

A New Palestine Exploring Expedition— The Great Biblical Want of the Age, a Good Map of the Holy Land. The Methodist preachers met yesterday in large numbers to listen to an address by Dr. Strong, of Drew Theological Seminary, on his proposed ex- ploring expedition to the Holy Land. A committee bad been appointed at the previous meeting to issue an invitation to ministers and literary and scientific men of other charches and organizations, so that the company assembled yesterday was larger than usual. An hour was very profitably spent in devotional exercises aud the narration of personal and pastoral experiences, At half-past eleven o’clock Professor Strong took the floor and gave a general and humorous invitation to all per- sons present to accompany him to Palestine. The cost for the round trip, including hotel bilis and everything else, is $1,700 per head, and the journey takes in one month in Egypt and another in the desert, and seven months divided among Palestine sites, the Jordan, the land of Moab, Italy, Greece and the trip outward and homeward—nine months in all. The real question to be answered 1s, What can be done to promote a knowledge of Bible lands? Palestine, he sald, has been a study with us fom our earliest years, We need, before all things, a good map of Palestine. It is true we have an abundance of maps, but they are not reliable. The Doctor then gave @ brief sketch of Robinson and Smith’s map, which was the earliest, and which was measured by the time of travel of mules—a very incorrect way of measuring distances, The best map now in use is Vandevelde’s, published in Gotha, and which is the standard in all our schools and colleges, but this has not been made after any topographical sarvey, but is drawn very much after fancy, and at least east of the Jordan it is wholly unreliable. ‘The Doctor gave a sketch of the organization and labors of the British PALESTINE EXPLORATION FUND SOOIKTY, which has been operating on the peninsula lor the last ode Cae and at an annual expense of about $25,000, The American society Was organized at a meeting in Dr. Adams’ church here in 1870, but for @ year it met with many obstacies in its search for the right man as engineer. Finaily in September, 1872, they secured the services of Lieutenant Steever, of the United States Topographical Sur- vey, and he has spent @ year out there and travelled over some 600 miles of the territory and Lpeogians | ai po w or 2 square miles east of the ad sea. The panic has caused a temporary suspension of the society's operations, and Lieutenant Steever is now in the city, but he return again to Palestine. The Doctor thought the work should be done by governments; but as they fail it must be done by individuals or by societies. It will require 15 years to complete the survey ac- cording to the methods of the present exploring parties, and he was not willing to wait so long, when he believed a tolerably correct map could be obtained and published beiore this time twelvemonth. But the society will need $30,000 for the next year’s operations, besides $6,000 for new instruments. There are $20,000 worth of instruments now on the ground which must be brought home unless the public will sustain the society and send Lieutenant Steever out again, The Doctor gave a briei sketch of what has been done and the territory surveyed by the English and American societies, and illus- trated the feasibility of his own idea by what the government had done in the South during our late war, when its war maps were made somewhat after the manner that he purposes to make bis, REV. PROFESSOR HITCHCOCK said that in 1865 the British society was organized and began a survey of the Holy Land. They have carrie1 their work in to about the middle point of the district east of the Jordan and are mapping the country after the measure of an inch to @ square mile. Tne territory west of the Jordan was done partly before, Vandevelde's map east of the Jordan is worse than worthless—it is mis- leading. Dr. Hitchcock then referred to the or- ganization of the American society three years ago, and said that Lieutenant Steever had alr triangulated 600 square miles cast of the Jordan in the English way. So that when the work of the two societies is completed the resuits which are after one measure can be put together and a cor- rect and complete map produced. To show the incorrectness of the other mapa, Dr. Hitchcock re- marked that Dr. Robinson says there are 7,000 square miles west of the Jordan and 5,000 east of it, but the surveys already made by the two socie- ties named show that there are 6,600 square miles west of the Jordan and 16,000 square miles east of that river. The American society has expended, since its organization, about $12,000; but it will want for the next 1 Qt least $20,000, and for subsequent years $17,000. Ifhalfa dozen parties could be sent out to Palestine the work might be completed in six or seven years, each taking a strip of 5,000 square miles. But it will take every cent of $200,000 tor the American society to carry out ite a as it bas Lyles The sites of Nebo and Pisgah have been fixed by its engineer. These have an interest for us, he thought, which can be turned to pecuniary profit, DR. CHAMBERS’ QUERY. Dr. Chambers asked Dr. Pecog what method of measurement he proposed. The latter responded, “By @ pedometer, or foot measure, which is not so correct as the other, but is yet sufficiently correct for all practical pu 8 until toe societies can produce their correct map. We know,” he said, “where Jerusalem, Beyroot and some other places are, and it should not be very dificult to fix the sites of intermediate places.” He proposed to go from the Nile to the Sea and the forks of tne Jordan and Antioch. It can be done in six months, and at a cost of $4,000 or $5,000. And it he were a map publisher he would: undertake the task asa Speculation, He does not propose to antagonize either of the other societies, but merely to give to the Church something which may serve its pur- poses until their more complete and reliable sur- veys are nade. He will sail-with his party about December 20, Rev. Thomas Penrose, of England, was intro- duced and briefly addressed the meeting. Sabbath afternoon services in Allen street Methodist Epts- copal church were announced, and a meeting in regard to revivals was held at two P. M. MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS. Board of Assistant Aldermen. Aregular session of this Board was held yester- day afternoon, President Wade in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and adopted, It was expectea the ordinance relative to the prohibition of iron covers for vaults and sidewalks, introduced a week ago by Assistant Alderman Stephen N. Simonson, would be reported from the committee and be acted upon by the Board, especially as the late fall of snow has given additional demonstrations that such a prohibitory ordinance is not only very proper but absolutely necessary at this time. It isa notorious fact that every winter hundreds of accidents have happened to persons from slipping upon the glassy surface of iced iron, and this ordinance is now introduced to do away with this nuisance. This subject will be acted upon in Committee on Ordinances and reported back to the Board on Thursday afternoon, when the Assistant Aldermen will hold a special meeting, Considerable debate was had upon a resolution offered by Assistant Alderman Thornell, asking the opinion of the Corporation Counsel whether the mmon Counct] has power, under the charter of 1873, to order work done by the various depart- ments other than by contract. Amendments and substitutes were proposed and voted down. Assistant Alderman Strack was in favor of going ahesd, independent of the Corporation Attorney’s opinion. Section 91 of the charter gave the Board more power than the members were aware of. He was in favor of giving those out of work emplov- ment, and trust to the Legisiature. If such action was illegal they would pass rn enabling act there- for. This speech of Mr, Strack elicited great ap- plause from # large lobby of workingmen, which ‘was instantly checked by the President, Assistant Alderman Thornell offered a resolu- {ion authorizing the corporate authorities to offer @ reward, not to exceed $5,000, ior the purpose of discovering the perpetrators of the outrage tn sending an tnfernal machine with which to assas- sinate the Comptroller. Assistant Alderman Strack wanted to have the reading suspended, as it was notoriously reported around that the torpedo was sent by some parties in sympathy with the fnan- ciat nead of New York, but Assistant Aldermen Kehoe, Sommers and others opposed Mr. Strack, and the paper wasread. Assistant Aiderman Riley moved to refer the subject to the Committee on Arts and Sciences, which was lost, as was also the resolution, After the transaction of some other minor bust- ness the Board adjourned, Board ot Supervisors. The regular meeting of this Board was held yesterday, Supervisor Samuel B, H. Vance presid- ing, in the absence of the Mayor. Two bills from the Astor Honse, one tor $1,726, for sustaining the jurors and officers during the Tweed trial, and the other for $980 in the Stokes case, were presented by Supervisor Van Schaick, which that gentleman hoped would be ordered paid, without the usual routine of going before the Auditing Committee, as Judge Noah Davis certified that the bills were cor- rect and proper. Supervisor Ottendorfer, how- ever, cited a precedent, which prohibited such ac- tion, and the bills were referred to the Finance Committee. A communication was received from the Super- visors of Westchester county, requesting the New York Supervisors to meet them for the purpose of adjusting the indebtedness of the newly acquired wards, é communication was received and the subject to the Fina Committee, to Havemeyer which, on motion, were added and Uap Teaoluuen oF Supervisor Vagco it was SHEET. ordered that the seers compet es Be Sg ite. of the of the Bureau of Election, "Consider introduced by Supervisor Monheimer authorizin; the appointment of five Eraoway Band shall also act a4 cleaners in the new norm House.

They are charged by a number of engineers, for whom the complaint has been presented by one of their benevolent and protective societies, with re- ceiving money as payment for the granting of licenses and refusing to give certificates to com- petent men because no money was tendered them, At the first hearing of the case on Saturday several men swore they had left money rolled around cigars on the desk of the examiners at the time they were receiving certificates. Mr. St. John, the Property Clerk, testified yesterday that money had been handed over to him by Captain Yule, of the Sanitary Bureau, which had _ been found on the floor of the office, and he gave the Captain receipts for it. This treasure amounted to $6 and was credited to the account of the departmeut, Two engineers who complained of having given money said the amount in each case was $2, and another said he bestowed the sum o/ $1 in a similar way. They seemed put out when they discovered the cash had not reached the intended quarter. Examiner Sutton was put on the stand, He denied ever having received any money at any time during his connection with tne bureau, extending over a space of 17 years, for the a of infuencing his decisions in examina- ions or any other improper use of his post- tion. Cantata Yule was called several times and examined upon the workings of the bureau and the conduct of the oficers of his command in cer- tain cases. The further trial of the accused was postponed to Saturday. te MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Married. JOURGRNSEN—JAMES.—On Toursday, November 27, by the Rev. Alex. R.
